Hello all,
Over my lunch-hour I try to make my way to a city park that is <5 min from where I work at least 3 times a week for disc-golf practice. However, I'm getting a little tired of just putting against a single trash can or throwing as hard as I can in the field every single day.
I'm looking for something that will force me to practice and play mid-range shots of varied types ... (ani, hyzer, spikes, a little of everything.) ... so, I made the attached picture based on the google map overhead photograph of the park.
It is a 9-Hole layout, and will have small trees / park benches / ??? to use as object targets for the time being. My goal was to get 9 holes laid out, with as few path crossings as possible.
I know that it is probably not too easy to picture this, since you've never been to the park, but does anything jump out at you as being too weird (i.e. no left-turning dog leg, a too-short hole, etc )? I'll describe the park as best I can based on the pic:
Parking lot is bottom left (2 cars parked if that helps anyone with scale).
A creek that is dry 70%+ of the time runs directly through the center (top to bottom)
A well-used paved wakling path rings the entire park.
There is a under-utilized playground and pavilion on the bottom right.
There are small, landscaped trees by #'s 8 & 5
#4 is a large sycamore(?) tree.
#'s 7 & 8 might be too long?
Let me know what you think, or feel free to pass this along to anyone who may find it interesting...
