Post a cool disc golf photo

[Jimb]

This is hole #9 at Valley View Park in Altoona, PA. This is a 351' par 3 that plays at least 30', if not more, down hill. Thick woods lines the entire fairway on the right side. The left side of the fairway is wide open, but a normal RHBH tee shot is protected by a tree that sits right off of the front of the left side of the tee. You also have to be careful as it's hole #7's tee pad that you can see in the top left of the picture. #7 plays up the same hill that you play down on hole #9.

This is a fun hole. I've parked a drive within 20' of the pin on the hole for a nice birdie. (Does 20' qualify as parked?) I've also ended up 30' into the woods, to the left when a forehand tee decided to become a roller, scambling to save a double bogie. Ouch!

This is the first course that I played when I got into the game in the Spring of 2007. So this hole really seemed "epic" to me.

My sincerest thanks to everyone on this site. And Happy 250th post to me! :D

You are a treat to have a round bro. Congrats on Birdie Status too BTW!

I loved those pictures of the back nine at your course - some pretty tight fairways in there ;)

Again, thanks. I really appreciate it coming from you long-timers. And about the fairways. Fairways, I don't need no stinking fairways! :p

I guess that I'm the paranoid type and think far too often that I'm just annoying. And, by the way, I'm not soliciting for more ego stroking Sidewinding. :D My ego is well intact.

Yeah. 20 feet is parked. It ain't handicapped parking, but it's parked.

Thanks for reminding me why I don't live in upstate New York. :D However, it would be nice to get some rain around here.

Nope, he was using a gazelle and it had a mad hyzer. He landed just on top of the hill near the end of the courts.

This is from Mackenzie State Park on the big island of Hawaii. The guys are looking for a disc that fell into the surf. The hole plays over the edge of that crevasse and you usually have to deal with a stiff ocean headwind. It's one balzy hole.

http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd166/Midnightbiker/0103091938.jpg

I bought a set very much like this at Ollie's. It's a discount store that sells a lot of overstock items, etc. I threw each of the discs about twice in a nice grassy field... and proceeded to make sure that they were clean & un-marked, put them back in their box, and took them back to the store.

Nice pic, though. And Target, huh? Look out mainstream, here comes DG. :D

[justin]

Mine came in a box like the Innova starter sets but those things started me off nearly 3yrs ago. I played 18 holes and lost the driver. Then I lost the other two during the following round (all on different water holes). After all that I decided I loved this game.

[ejvogie]

I bought this set for $5 on clearance. The driver was the biggest piece of crap I've ever owned, tacos every time you hit an obstacle. The putter is ok, but I have 2 aviars and a magnet, so since it's white I used it as a scorecard for a round while on vacation. The midrange I liked, until I lost it :(

[chopz33]

good set to have for first time friends

We had some visitors that were taking their time crossing the fairway giving us time to set this shot up. My buddy Tim drove just before me and to see these deer watch his drive come down the fairway and pass about 10 ft in front of them as the turned their heads to watch it go by was great!

Exactly and I can't wait to attend both J-Park events this year. It would be fun to see an event combine rounds at J-Park and Wodstock.

Perhaps I'll see you at the Fools Fest.

[CaptainAnhyzer]

........ It would be fun to see an event combine rounds at J-Park and Wodstock.

Perhaps I'll see you at the Fools Fest. The 30 minute drive between courses would make it a two day tourney.....hmmmmmm, 2 rounds at J Park then camping at the KOA(with a drunken glow round on the KOA course) then 2 hangover rounds at the Rocks?? :eek: That sounds like a plan :p

Definitely see ya at FDR :cool:

I guess when I drive 2.5hrs to the first course 30min to the 2nd makes it feel like it's just down the street. I forgot that there's a KOA course and have not played that one. Sounds like a really sweet event idea though. Joralemon on the Rocks?

I played Kisco and 2 rounds at FDR last weekend (not the first time). I'm really liking FDR. Let's hope for a good AM2 year for me (unlike 2008).

Thanks for the tip Solomon.

This is hole 18 (of 19!) at Pye Brook in Massachusetts. It's 312' from the blue tee (circled in red). All that space in between is full of water in the springtime. That is such a fun hole worthy of a bag unloading.

Not at all. Look at the elevation change. it's at least a 25' drop. Just keep the nose down and you'll make it. There is also lots of grass off to the left (in the picture - to the right from the tee) you can play it safe on over by the red tee/drop zone.

If you don't like that one there are upto 6 other tricky water shots after the April rains. C'mon out to New England and I'll show you around We've got lots of water holes. Embrace the danger! :)

you can see on spotter sitting on the ledge to the left of the basket about 80 feet. weve played it enough years in a row that we pretty much know where it will be in the ravine if we miss the ledge. its an awesome weekend for sure playing there.

[willstradamus]

I love going out to utah and this looks like another great reason why.

When is the annual tourney?

[John Rock]

There is a course in New Mexico that these pictures remind me of. Lindrith, New Mexico (North of Cuba, NM).

The first 10 holes play through a pinon pine forest, with a few cutting across a pasture. Then you get to the "BADLANDS" part. Lots of rugged terrain with tough up and down holes that are really brutal when the wind picks up. After 7 holes of "billy goat golf" you get another 10 holes weaving back through the forest.

The signature hole #12 is called "The King's Throne" because the basket sits on a ledge under a rock formation that resembles a king on his throne (personally I think it looks like Santa Clause in the pics I have). The hole is only around 300 feet long but it's decieving. Miss-throws from the tee are penalized by having to hike tough terrain to get to your disc, then you still have to get up to the ledge the basket is on. A duece is doable, but 7's, 8's, and more are common.

Contact the Galloway brothers in Albuquerque for permission to play the course, I'll look for contact numbers.

How long do your discs last on terrain like this? I would think they would be so chewed up to throw a second round with them.

[martinb]

have your ever wondered what people do with their old discs? well..... dx plastic discs get to the point where they are so hammered they become, throw-it-into-the-big-rock-next-to-the-campfire-as-hard-as-you-can-discs. actually quite fun especially if you had a bad round that day. :D

[Midnightbiker]

This is hole #7 at the same course. Another tricky one:

[Midnightbiker]

This is hole #2. This would make good wall paper for your computer:

This is hole # 5. The hurricane did the most damage on this hole. You can see all the down trees . The city did a lot of work to make this hole playable again:

This would make cool wall paper also. This is hole 13.

I was transporting my basket after practice. I had to pick up my son at work and we decided to take some shots at the basket before we left for home. Gives a whole new meaning to "portable basket". It was actually kind of fun. Of course we only used soft putters, and I am glad we did because we hit the glass a few times:

This happened again at the practice field while practicing putting.

A few shots of one of the back holes on Searight in Austin, TX...I was taken a few years back, heard the course may have been rearranged so I don't know if this whole is still using the same layout, but it was an awesome hole. Think it was like 13 or 15, and it was super chill, completely enclosed by the park trees so it was the best smoke hole in Austin in my humble opinion.

The last one is a CE Beast I removed the stamp from and with a few Sharpies drew up my custom version of a "beast." Additionally, the disc is resting on some of the wood chip fairway Searight had (and may still have for all I know), such a great course!

Cool pictures. I'd like to play that course, but I didn't know that CE Beasts existed.:rolleyes:

The Arizona terrain is very different from what I'm used to, but there was no shortage of challenging holes at Tucson's Santa Cruz Park. Love the low ceiling! One of my favorites for a flat course.

Found these via a google search. I was looking for something cool from The Woodshed and Whippin' Post in Paw Paw, WV. The first pic was taken inside the "clubhouse," a 100 year old barn structure. This, my friends, is WV disc golf. The 2nd is of the course dog, Scout. She'll literally take you to the next tee after you complete a hole if you're lucky enough to have her tag along with you for a while.

There are a lot of other cool pics from this group and so I'll attach the link. These guys deserve some credit for taking some nice pics and for taking the time to post them.

..Post in Paw Paw, WV..the course dog, Scout. She'll literally take you to the next tee after you complete a hole if you're lucky enough to have her tag along with you for a while.

I played there last May with smoe buddies from DC. We felt like we were stealing her as she played the entire round with us on the Whippin' Post.

Very different from the course dog I'm used to which bites people on occasion (I'm leaving that course's name out.)

[zenbot]

http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course_pics/245/b79725bb.jpgI took this on vacation in Virginia. Burke Lake. I'm not entirely sure but I guess I got an albatross that day. I scored a 2 on one of the holes. When I replayed the course it said the hole was par 5. I'm not really sure why it wasn't a 3. It wasn't terribly wooded like some of the other holes.

burke lake and many other courses in Va. have "par" listed on a sign but those are ignored by most...bayville in Va. beach has a few par 4's and 5's..just outdated is all..i used the sign par when i started to make myself feel better?...a round of 48 was good but with sign par it became a 40!!

I've played Burke Lake a few times and I think that's also a leftover from the time that course was built ~30yrs ago. Try playing courses in Maine. You could have a wide-open 300-350' hole and it will be par 5 everytime. I think the case in Maine is b/c they are all private courses and perhaps the owners feel this makes new players feel better about their game so they will continue to frequent the owner(s)' course(s). That said, those are all great courses.

So do the "real" players just count everything as a 3?

[justin]

So do the "real" players just count everything as a 3?I'm not a "local" so I don't know. When people ask what I score on whatever course I just say my score, not over/under. Let's not get into the "What is par?" discussion.

Yeah, she normally hangs with me for just a couple holes too. But she stay longer if you play football or something with her. She had an old beat up ball with the laces coming out of it. She would just tear into that thing. Glad to see that some people from out of the area (you and Justin in this post) are getting to take in the WS and WP.

I figure if I'm out of town what's the big deal with driving a ways for some realy great courses! I think I'd skip al lot of the super-tight holes next time but I sure would love to head up and stay over night. Those open holes and water shots are some of the best. Too bad I lost my Ice Bowl Wraith on the last hole as it got dark. I was just a few feet short of the shore. Boy would I be happy if someone found my disc in the shed...:D

I'm heading to DC again in mid-April. Can't wait to get my Grange on again.

Actually, since he's trying to post a URL it means it's already on the internet so all he needs to do is use IMG tags, i.e.:

Also, if it's not on the internet already, you can just use the "manage attachments" button and upload the pics through this forum.

this is a private course north of houston (actually north of conroe).
owned by steve dufrane. he calls it shawshank and a lot of the holes are "themed" from the movie.
the one looking out through the pines is "tunnelling free from jail (the previous hole).
the one looking back from the pin is the "green mile".
the one looking back over the water we dubbed "the congugal visit", (because you end up wet in the end). the tee was 286' back across the water,and directly behind the pin the dam dropped off 20' at least. fun,fun day of golf. and steve is one helluva host. anyone near to this course should call steve and play his links!!

[justin]

Obviously that looks/sounds like a sweet course but I'd like to complement you on the wonderful photos Dahig. I love the shot from atop the basket.

[dahig]

for those of you who have yet to play milo/mcgiver in estacada,or.
here are just a few of the reasons that it is rated so high with so many people.
it is a beautiful park that is well maintained.
we made a trip out there last march, and out of all the courses we got to hit, this was the one that i would make the effort to to return to.

wish i had more/better pictures.

[dahig]

What did you use for that long straight shot through the trees?

an "element" from gateway.
i've used/tried several types of mid-ranges, i have got to say that the element delivers the longest, straightest,most predictable flight path i have ever gotten from a disc.
and no, i'm not sponsered by gateway.
the closest disc i have found to the element is discrafts "buzz".
i was so impressed with this disc,i bought 3 more for spares down the road.

p.s.
i clanged my shot off the side of that basket,held my breath on what looked like an ace. that hole was right at 200' if my memory serves me correctly.

Does that count? I know if it wedges into the basket it does.

[Timber]

803.13 Holing Out
B. Disc Entrapment Devices: In order to hole out, the thrower must release the disc and it must come to rest supported by the chains or within one of the entrapment sections. This includes a disc wedged into or hanging from the lower entrapment section but excludes a disc resting on top of, or hanging outside of, the upper entrapment section. The disc must also remain within the chains or entrapment sections until removed.

Does that count? I know if it wedges into the basket it does.

I told her it was in. I have only seen that happen a hand full of times. I am so proud of her. She really has never showed any interest in disc golf till now. She played for the second time yesterday, and did great. She does best throwing Tomahawks, and is damn good at it. She needs to work on her mid and putt shots, but we are going to head to the practice field later today and work on that.

She wants to play in her first tournament next month and I am so proud of her for that.

Now if I can get her mother to be more physical, I will be really happy. My wife did walk the course with us, and I guess that is better than nothing. Over all it was a great family day.

803.13 Holing Out
B. Disc Entrapment Devices: In order to hole out, the thrower must release the disc and it must come to rest supported by the chains or within one of the entrapment sections. This includes a disc wedged into or hanging from the lower entrapment section but excludes a disc resting on top of, or hanging outside of, the upper entrapment section. The disc must also remain within the chains or entrapment sections until removed.

I saw a kid land one on top of a basket today. I've never seen that happen before. Of course, he had to actually finish holing out, but it was still pretty cool.

I have landed on the basket twice because I use a soft putter, and they can do that. Both times I was pissed because I know it dosen't count.

some shots from our trip to houston.
this is a private course north of houston (actually north of conroe).
owned by steve dufrane. he calls it shawshank and a lot of the holes are "themed" from the movie.
Shawshank is a great course. Except for #4. I find that hole to be almost entirely blind luck.

As for #5 (straight one through the trees) I birdied that one both times in a tournament (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/scorebook.php?vall=1&ovcrse=2656&mid=519&sbmtd=1&sort=date&order=desc&vcrse=2656&fd=2008-05-01&sd=2008-05-31&tee_filt%5B%5D=0&tee_filt%5B%5D=1) with a DX Coyote. These days I'd probably throw my Star Shark.

As far as I know that shot would count, tourney or not.

The basket tech standards are evolving. This is the first year in which they've classified baskets as: Basic, Standard, and Championship. And like I said that basket wouldn't qualify as Standard or Championship if submitted for approval in the future. Existing baskets are grandfathered into the classes as shown in the Tech Standards documentation.

As was pointed out in a previous thread this raises all sorts of issues with A-Tier sanctioned events held on legacy courses with old baskets that don't meet all the new Championship specs. It looks like that's why they've done the grandfathering.

Thanks for posting those. I really dislike very few holes, but this is one of 'em. I don't think there's a realistic fairway on that hole. It's an absurd hole based on luck, not skill. But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Yeah, I agree, I too dislike holes like this. It's kind of like, just throw and pray it gets through. I'd probably roll this hole to increase my luck.

Hole #17 at Summit Park in Summit, Illinois. This place was loaded with pinball holes like this and a majority of them required hyzer shots. Got boring after a while. Fairway's are impossible to get through.. I mean impossible there are like 2 foot gaps between some trees followed by a dogleg that just can't be made because of that stupid gap.:mad:

[Midnightbiker]

Yeah that course looks like a blast to bad I'm from Chicago.

I played the course for the first time today and it kicked my ass. Both rounds I shot a 70 and I lost a disc in the lake on # 9. It was a trash disc, but that is why I carry them. The wind was too much for the Dragon, and I am going to have to invest in a heavier floater for the wind.

The problem with that course is its in a very rich neighborhood park, and because the Home Owners Asso. does not like outsiders, the park is closed to the public. It used to be open to the public, but some people had a huge party out there and trashed the place, and the disc golfers got blamed for it.

They are allowing us to have a tournament out there on May 8th, and today they opened the park to the pubic for one day, so we can practice the course. I am glad I got to play out there today. It was the toughest course I have ever played. The long holes were long, water hazards, and tight fairways. It was fun though. I can't wait till the tournament.

[The Dude]

I was playing this morning and as I was approaching the basket I saw this car IN THE CREEK... I must have been the first to see it cause I informed the police officer sitting in the parking lot and he went to check it out. About 20 minutes later people from the city came...

Good thing you posted a second picture with a close up of the car. When I saw that first picture I thought to myself "this picture isn't that great." Than I scrolled down and was like "Oh! That is a great picture" This has to be up there with some of the craziest things to see while playing a round of disc golf.

[Midnightbiker]

That is really strange. No tire tracks in the grass, and the car does not seem to be damanged. Where the hell did it come from? So far I think that is the top ten pics of strangest things seen on the course.

So after playing - what did you like? I'm a big fan of #3, #5, #6, #13. It's just a good tough course - frustrating and long, but solid. I can get passes to play and bypass the cop, so if anyone is ever interested in playing this course just let me know, and I'll play a round with you. Miller can play rounds out there as well.

I too noticed the mud in the grille and wondered what that could tell us. I was first thinking they drove from the water accessing it from a bank we can't see well enough. But flooding could very well be it.
