The World Wide Super Disc Golf Course

[Donovan]

OK, here it is:
The World Wide Super Disc Golf Course

Everyone should post one hole until we get 18 holes and at the end, we will make the course list with an order that makes sense.

The goal is pick Huge land marks and make tees and holes from them as is you were like a "Giant." Then make a small comment as if it were a real hole you were playing.
Only the first 18 entries will count.

Here is one to start it off so you get the idea without me writing the idea out in too much detail.
Remember have fun!

1. The Devil's Needle
Tee: The top of Devils Tower in Wyoming, USA.
Goal: The Space Needle in Seattle Washington, USA.
"Not too much water, but the mountains and redwoods will be a challenge to get through."

Franco Disco?

Sounds good. Thanks brother.

We have got 2 holes so far, 16 left!!!

[Amorybulldog]

"A Go At The Gulf"
Tee: white sand beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama,USA.
Goal: The bouy in Key West, FL USA(farthest south point of the USA).
Pretty much an open shot but the wind would be tricky, may have to play through a few oil rigs as well.

[sk8architecture]

Island shot
Tee: Sothern Tip of Baja California
Goal:top of Mauna Kea on Hawaii
Short shot should be able to birdie if you can avoid the water

[tomschillin]

Tee: Island of Sri Lanka
Basket: Top of Mt. Everest

it's a slight up-hill, but makeable in 3

[DirtyMittenDG]

Tee: The Sears Tower in Chicago
Basket: CN Tower in Toronto

Got a nice water throw over lake michigan then a nice open field throw through south Michigan, then another water hazard in either Lake Huron or the Detroit River (depending on how you want to throw) then a nice chip shot to toronto

162StarValkyrie, you have a name for this one?

We have 6 great holes so far and a whole lot of the world left to use. Keep it up!

[DGtourist]

4000 miles along the great wall of china. A tight hole, China and Mongolia OB.

[JR Stengele]

Tee: Golden Gate Bridge - San Francisco, CA.
Pin: Big Ben - London, England

Plenty of hazards, including wind, water, and some elevation. Watch out for the Great white sharks too!!!

how about "The Wet Mitten"

[magictenor1]

TEE:Top of Haleakala (dormant volcano) HOLE: Rim of Molokini. Top of the island with great downhill tee shot then across part of the pacific to a small sliver of wall rising from the waves. whales and dolphins add extra hazard for lost disc.

[ShaunR]

Tee: Ferry Dock in Homer, AK.
Goal: Flag Pole on the island of Attu, AK.

A big hyzer will get you to Kodiak Island. Well-placed shots are a must as island hopping all the way out the chain, with the winds in that area, will be a challenge.
The Gulf of Alaska and the Bering Sea are OB. Mandatory stop in Dutch Harbor *Trust me, you won't want to miss that party.
Good Luck

[magictenor1]

Alternate names for hole #2:Tower Power or Tour De France.

[magictenor1]

TEE:Top of Stonehenge. Goal:Normandy. You may have to lay up before crossing the channel. As a bonus you get to swim the English Channel and storm the beaches of Normandy.

[petecarp]

Name: The A.T.
Tee: Start of the Appalachian Trail in Maine
Basket: End of Appalachian Trail in Georgia
Note: Minor elevation changes and some trees to worry about.

[The Valkyrie Kid]

Mostly a wooded, technical hole with some slight elevation gains to deal with.

[The Valkyrie Kid]

Start at Millford Sound on the southern end of New Zealand's South Island across the North Island to Australia. With a mando around the Opera House in Sydney, then across Australia to the top of Ayers Rock.

Obstacles would include having to Bungee Jump at Queenstown on the South Island, thermal activity at Rotorua on the North Island, New Zealand's 6 million sheep, two over ocean throws, a long hyzer around the Opera House, topless Australian girls on the beaches there and finally, the Austrailian Outback.

[humchris85]

The Emerald Triangle

Start high up in the Trinity Alps work your way down and west to the manditory around the statue of Mckinley in the Arcata Plaza then south to Lake Mendecino.

Obstacles include numerous rivers, creaks, lakes, and lets not forget the Pacific Ocean (one huge water hazard), theres also lots of mountains and just a few trees to get over in this tri-county hole. Be carefull of peoples gardens ;).

[DeafDiscGolfer]

Name: South of the Border
Tee: Bunker Hill Monument, Boston, Massachusetts
Goal: Frozen basket at the US McMurdo base in Antarctica
Comment: Requires a good skilled tunnel shots through the Big Dig underground highway in Boston before coming out to get across over a bunch of water hazards to South America. Need to put on lots of bugs sprays before getting there to make approach shots. Then put on some bit of long sleeves and hand warmers when entering South Pole to make a possible par or that damned bogey. You can stop by the McMurdo base for some hot chocolates and a plane ride out of there!
Warning: This hole is "Enter at your own risk" Not responsible for any stolen bags, discs, mini discs, pencils, cell phones, beers, etc. in South America regions and does not provide protections from militia factions as well. Best to bring John Rambo along.

[Luke@DiscTrips]

Name: Purple Mountain Majesties
Tee: Top of Pike's Peak, Colorado
Goal: Shore of Lake Louise, Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada
Comments: Easy drive-up access to the tee. A righty hyzer will keep you clear of the Rockies (being careful to avoid downtown Denver) for several hundred miles. May want to lay up in Yellowstone, or risk the Old Faithful geyser hazard (hard to see it through the Denver smog). Dry & only slight elevation changes on the remaining approach. Pin is nestled in mountains near Calgary, right on the Lake Louise shoreline, so putt conservatively lest you end up wet or nailing an outdoorsy tourist. A 4 is a good score on this hole.

[ehillis]

"Up the Nile"

Tee: Cairo, Egypt
Pin: Elevated Green on top of Mount Kilimanjaro
"Watch out for the pyramids outside the tee box before playing up the Nile and up a significant elevation gain to the pin. The river is a hazard, and the air will get very thin near the basket on top of Mount Kilimanjaro."

Okay, I think I have one that hasn't been used quite yet.

Soaking Wet to Wet from Sweat

Tee: Middle of the Florida Everglades
Goal (basket): Middle of the Sahara Desert in Africa
"A nifty pro par 5. The Equator is a nice OB line to the south and not only do you have to throw over the Atlantic, the Mediterranean Sea is OB to the north, maikng the approach to basket fairly tight. If you can belt it over the high grass around the tee, you might make it over the ocean but if not, we'll have to send you to the DZ in Nassau (Bahamas). After swimming across the ocean, you might want to stay wet while attempting your approach near Casablanca. Beware of losing discs during hurricane season." -Andrew L.

[Mystery]

Sea to Shining Sea
Tee: Fort Sumter-Charleston, SC
Goal:Olympic Torch of Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum
Teeing from the island fort in Charleston Harbor, your drive must cross over the harbor towards the flat plains of the midwest. A carefully placed drive will layup short of the Mississippi river, but be careful to leave yourself an angle to make the mandatory under the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Players with stronger arms maybe able to make the carry over the Grand Canyon in Arizona but lesser experienced players will need to employ another layup. The approach shot will carry over the San Andreas fault, but players going for a three on this par 4 will need to be cautious because of the large body of water behind the goal.

[DeafDiscGolfer]

Hey,

Is that possible to make a "computer photo-like" world map with the course's marked tees and holes when its completed with 18 holes?

It would be cool for 2008's desktop poster or print it out into larger version poster or even better, a calendar!

Just suggestion!

:)

[Donovan]

AS soon as get some time I will finish this up.

OH and Calendar, I would love to see someone put that together. Actually all we need is the pictures, I could probably get it put together if I had those.

Well that was fun to do. Thanks everyone for participating.

It would be cool if someone actually made a map and renumbered the holes to fit the routes. But hey, if you have that much ambition, please feel free to do it. :cool:

[disc-o maniac]

i love it! all i need are measurements of the holes and ill be on my way. ;-)

[ehillis]

Did anyone ever make a map of this? That would be cool to post...

[Olorin]

Donovan,

Really cool! Very creative and entertaining.

Would it be possible to rearrange and renumber the holes so that the next tee is as close as possible to the last basket and make the course flow better like a real course?

For example, after current hole 18, while you're in CA you tee off on hole 8 in San Fran. OR hole 3 in FL leads to hole 17...

Please, by all means line them up bro! This is a community project anyway. Renumber them the best way you can. It will be the next step before someone gets a map made. I am sure we can get the measurements via google if someone wants to work on that also. :cool:

[ejvogie]

any plans for extra tournament holes?? :D

[runnaman]

I think a good tournament hole would be the Pole to Pole.
Tee: North Pole
Goal: South Pole
Par: 6
You can choose which way you want to throw: Over the Americas, over Asia, etc.

How sick would that be to over drive and have your disc go into orbit?

[swellerdiscgolf]

How about from Plymouth Rock to the mouth of the Columbia River where Lewis and Clark saw the Pacific Ocean?

I wanted to suggest a suspension bridge hole but the Golden Gate had already been used. Otherwise I'd say from the Golden Gate Bridge in CA all of the way across country to the Verrazona-Narrows Bridge in NY. The Golden Gate was the longest in the world from 1937-1964 when the Verrazon took over from 1964-1981.
