Just had a delightful practice round, it's a beautiful course, had a little sticker shock on the $30 green fee, until I found there's an outdoor elevator to take you back to the parking lot after you're around, that's worth every penny!
I give the course four and a half stars out of five, only slight demerits for a bit of repetitiousness, but when you get to the last six holes, there's nice variety and it's refreshing!
I'm stoked to be playing this tournament, for the first time, and I know Anthony's going to be doing a fantastic job. I mean I ran into him out on the links, and was able to conveniently give him back a pink Corvette that I found with no name on it, to go into the lost and found.
I'm still holding out hope that someone has my go-to blue sparkle pipeline, that I apparently marooned at glendoveer. But I'm also headed to the depot, where Valerie was able to confirm ahead of time they've got more in stock, woohoo!
Course wise, I would just advise that you be mindful of the sand traps and putting greens that are out of bounds and present on nearly ever whole, and the fact that the disc golf course numbering parallels the ball Golf Course numbering until you get to about whole 14 or so, at which point they deviate.
A few more next tee signs would be nice, I ran into at least one group that got lost, but they got back on track, and joined up with us, and we all had a great time.
And I recommend you bring any sort of disc retriever on a pole that you have, Dusty saved my bacon twice, getting one of my disks out of a pond, and another one out of a tree. He almost got one of his out of the next Pond we encountered, and tried to get another white one but it was slightly out of range. I'm definitely going to get myself one of those collapsible carbon fiber retriever poles with the suction ball on the end, those seem highly effective.
All right, this 57-year-old 850 rated crusty is signing off, hoping for one of those flashes of brilliance, maybe a second thousand rated round in life, and in the extreme fantasy world, a possible first a tier win! Good luck to everyone out there can't wait to chunder with you all.
