The perfect hyzer line can hit the basket. A high forehand flex can land under the basket too. Just don't hit any trees.

Tip #2
Tip by:Doofenshmirtz Added on: Hole:#17
This hole is tricky mostly because the tee pad is not aligned with the opening in the trees that you must throw through. Pay close attention.

The perfect backhand throw is with an overstable mid started on an anny to work right toward the fairway and then fade back toward the basket when it gets past the turn.

The biggest mistake is hitting the goal post trees. If you are not accurate enough to hit the fairway line, just lay up with a putter in the middle of the fairway opening. The basket is an easy layup from there. Settling for 3 on this hole is a lot better than the 5 you will get if you end up too far left or right without making it into the woods.

Tip #3
Tip by:Doofenshmirtz Added on: Hole:#14
This is a pretty straightforward hole. It is a bit tricky because there is a little slope at the end and some vegetation that you may feel the need to throw over. The classic mistake on this hole is to throw too high to avoid the bush on the right. This shortens your throw. Keep your throw low and this hole will play like any other 315' hole.

Tip #4

This hole has two fairways. To the right is a straightforward shot with a narrow fairway below 20 feet. Higher up, the shot is unobstructed. Just throw down the middle and let your shot fade toward the basket for a shot at birdie. There is also a straightforward lane on the left that suits RHFH very well.

Tip #5
Tip by:Doofenshmirtz Added on: Updated on: Hole:#3
This is a straightforward hole that rewards a very long shot that fades toward the basket. In the wetter months, there is a temporary basket in a shorter, drier position. If you can see the basket from the tee, it is in the short position.

Tip #6

This is a par 4 that doglegs left across a ditch lined with tall trees. There are several approaches.

1) If you have a 500' arm, just throw a big hyzer over the trees.

2) If you have a strong forearm and favorable wind, throw the disc over the trees near the tee box.

3) If you have decent tomahawk, lay up short of the dogleg and then throw a tomahawk over the tree line.

4) Lay up at the turn area and throw through. Its the only place with a safe throw can be made through the trees.

The most inconsistent approach is #4. The most common error is trying #4 and either throwing too far, too short or hitting one of the many trees on the right. it is very easy to get a 5 here. Approach 3 will get you a 3 or 4 every time as long as you place the layup appropriately and get your second throw over the tree line. If you have a big enough arm to go over the trees consistently, you won't have much trouble getting a three on this hole, but you'd better be confident that you can consistently throw 450' or longer. If not, you will be punished!

Tip #7
Tip by:Doofenshmirtz Added on: Updated on: Hole:#16
The basket is about 6' higher than the tee box which makes this hole play longer than the 316" marked on the tee sign. The slope downward toward the road on the left also makes it very easy to take a penalty stroke.

By far, the two most common errors are: a) not accounting for the wind and throwing OB onto or across the road; and 3) throwing too high and coming up way short or letting the disc fade onto the roadway.

Keep your disc low or throw your forehand to avoid OB.

Tip #8
Tip by:Doofenshmirtz Added on: Updated on: Hole:#11
The two most successful shots are a straight, low shot or an anhyzer around the left side of the large tree that straightens out and fades back toward the basket. This is a short, low-ceiling shot that is a must-birdie for tournaments.

If you have a truly big arm, a huge hyzer that hits the tree that is over the basket is doable. Only do this if you are not at all confident in your ability to throw and easy low ceiling shot.

Tip #9
Tip by:Doofenshmirtz Added on: Updated on: Hole:#10
This hole is birdieable, but it will require nearly perfect placement of your drive. For RHBH, a turnover shot that goes past the trees on the right and then fades back left towards the basket can get you close enough. A RHFH throw that passes the trees on the left and fades toward the basket from the other direction can leave a reasonable shot at birdie. A shot that goes under the guard trees can also leave a reasonable putt.

Tip #10
Tip by:Doofenshmirtz Added on: Updated on: Hole:#8
The large pine on the right makes a low hyzer flip that flattens out and turns over just a bit before fading into the basket area to the left of the road/fairway your best bet.

The fairway holds water in spots so make sure it is dry before trying a roller.

The safe approach on this hole is to lay up in the fairway just past the large pine which leaves a fairly easy upshot.

You do NOT want to be in the brush to the right of the roadway. The brush to the left is mostly manageable.
