HOD 11/9/12 Prospect Park in Moline, IL

[whitefedora]

Hyzerbomb a flow RHBH over the trees. Clean up with a rhyno unless I mess up the drive and am way down the hill. Then I'll throw a teebird and clean up with a rhyno.

[smarkquart]

TeeBird or Canon, which ever is staying lower for me that day. By Hole 16 I should have a feeling in which is working better. Either way, clean up with an Anode or Ion depending on wind and tap in for a 3.

[UnitedPuppySlayer]

Flip a Force low as to get some good glide out of it then stable out at the end, Ion to finish out.

[b-mart]

RHBH River dead straight down the middle with a nice turn right after it clears the trees. That disc is made for this type of shot.

Some trivia: the building is called "Music Guild". Its a musical theater playhouse.

Is that big tree still there? If you look on Google Maps, there is no large tree in the fairway anymore, just a stump.



If that tree is really gone, I'll just go for the green with my beefy Destroyer. If it's not gone, then I'll play a Star Eagle up the gut and lay up with a Wizard.

This hole, and this course in general, is interesting regarding the extreme angle on many of the hills/landing zones. You need to land discs flat here; rather than on edge and it's an interesting design feature.

*See the post on page 2 from the local; he gives a good explanation*

condor thumb roller > teebird > magic or possibly zone then magic...

I only played the front 9 at Prospect before leaving - they were running an unsanctioned doubles tourney there that day and I didn't feel like waiting on every tee. I didn't get to play this hole. I'm pretty familiar with the slopes on that course though, I was throwing my putters and mids a lot.

The pic at the beginning is old.
The path is now paved (with concrete, if I remember right), and there are rocks in places to the left of the path, in between the path and the Music Guild, for erosion control.
You can not see the basket.

Going around the rough is difficult, and trying to throw over the trees and the rough in one shot...should be entertaining, even if not a noodle arm like me.
The hill is a killer. I have tried a Roadrunner only to have it roll all the down the hill and across the street. Katana didn't fare too well, either.

Playing this hole today I might throw a Blowfly first to get around or through the trees, then a Shark or Vector (not windy vs windy), and then R-pro Dart.
Some other day I might try a Viking or Leopard off the tee instead.
