To tell the truth, Im having a hard time reading the course map for this hole. Im assuming its back in those woods dead ahead.

Either way short tee I am shaping the line with the Ion. Long tee I am throwing a Valk hyzer flipped to get me down there and the Ion to place.

I agree, Technohic, I think it's just a dead end. Course map shows more trees on the left to suggest more density maybe, so I'm going RHBH with an Star SL or a Pro Wraith for the long tee. Shorts I'd chalk one up for the ol' Star Leopard.

Wow! That course map is confusing. Looks more like a navigational chart. It looks like there are multiple pin locations as well as short/long tees.

Going by the posted distances (and my best guess) The course map suggests that it is open from the right side

Short: Voodoo
Long: SOLF/QOLF (it looks like there is plenty of room to the right to take the big tree on the left out of play.)

I really cannot tell

[Technohic]

Maybe we will get lucky and get a local or someone who has played it to stop by in fill in the blanks.

I'm assuming the basket is hidden behind that tree.

From the short tee I would skip a Whippet around the right side of that tree.

From the long tee I would come at it from the other side of the tree with a beat 11X TeeBird.

If this wasn't one of my home courses I'd be pretty baffled by that course map. On the course map look at the green dot almost directly to the left of the am tee, that is the big tree out in the open on both pictures. That tree makes this hole play longer than the posted distance. I've only played the am tee a couple of times and from there you have to choose between a low line drive to the left of the tree or a nice big hyzer to the right of the tree so it will hook back left RHBH. From the am tee I'm guessing most would disc up from what you would expect looking at the pic.

From the pro tee the only good route is out to the right, keep if flat and let it fade back left around the tree. We are usually chucking Surges, Wraiths, Flicks, Katanas etc. At lower altitude a Destroyer or XCal would be good choices for the pro tee. A buddy of mine crushed one on that hole Tuesday night and he still had about a 70 footer for the bird try.

To the left of the other big tree at ~1/3 from the left side of the image.

Yup, but make it a FLX Drone for the short.

I have no idea where the basket is, so I'm going to put a hand over my eyes and spin around a few times singing the theme from Cheers, and then I'm thumbing a xXx.

I have played this course many times and just played this one from the short tee yesterday, twice. The current pin position was straight and left, behind that big tree just to the left of center. You either have to throw a nice hyzer around it to the right on try to finesse a slight anny to the left of the tree. I threw my TL witha little anny line, RHBH, and sent onthe left side of that tree. Most players nearly always throw from the pro tee which is much longer and you can let loose your bomb. There are multiple pin sites on this hole.
