This is the front side. Trees are slightly in front of the basket. (Note: the shadows help you see it...)

I was going to say my Rhyno but I would probably throw my Viking. After that I would throw the Rhyno just to see and it would get there also. Then I would think I was stupid for doubting that I could get a putter that far.

What course is that posey?

Why would you guys take a hyzer route and bring the tree near the teepad into play. That is like the only tree you need to avoid, just go right at it or throw a gentle anhyzer.

It depends on the wind and the situation, but if I'm going for my most consistant shot I'd throw a hyzer with a Spirit. If I were just playing in a casual round I'd try a straight shot with a Wizard or a hyzer with a Roc.

Hard to tell from the perspective of the photo where that tree really is. If it's a typical cell phone or point-and-shoot camera (wide angle lens) it may be closer than it appears. Heck, the basket looks about 400 ft away...

Of course, I can't really tell which side of the post the tee is on, I assumed I could throw from the left.

I still like the hyzer line to try to get behind the basket...if the tree doesn't block it.

I assumed the tee was to the right of the sign so most people, who are RHBH, don't follow through and smash their hand.

I do agree it is hard to tell how far away they actually are.

Good point on the broken hand...

All right. So assuming the tee is on the right (there does appear to be some deeper holes there) and the tree is in the way of the bigger hyzer line I would:

• Try a lower, flat shot with a Flat top Roc or Whippet to the right (if room allows) still trying to get even or behind a bit
• Throw right at it with a Roc...
