Couple of views of the basket:

[mashnut]

PPD thrown low with a touch of anny, it'll hold it and land flat hopefully in good position for a wizard upshot and putt.

RHBH worn ESP Surge..prob some kind of roc for the up and take my three

[Technohic]

My beat pro Leo at least twice.

Looks like the basket is nestled in that opening in the trees (just off to the right), waayy down at the end of the open field. If so:


R-Pro Boss on a hyzer flip (I'd rather land on left side of fairway than the right - easier approach).
Buzzz
APX
on to 10

easier said than done, huh?

My favorite course in the 30 or so I've played. Plus I'm a local I usually flip a Valk here to start, and then pray for the upshot. It's a bit 50-50 when you play your upshot to the basket. Trees surrounding thr front of it basically create a jail-like wall. If I throw a roller, I try to miss the creek that's behind the basket (how close depends on the season). A lot of the successful shots I've seen here are skip shots that come in low and slide up on towards the basket on the rocks.

That said, if I get a 3 here in a tournament, I'm feeling great going into the next hole. For those of you who haven't played Jordan, take a browse at hole 10. It's a game changer.

I'd probably get a nice turning shot out to the right with a Valkyrie, then upshot with a roc and hope I've got a good putt. Nicely designed hole, just long enough with a protected basket to make a 3 manageable for shorter throwers, but still difficult for big arms.

This is a great hole and I'm so happy that someone finally decided to put up a hole from Pennsylvania. Jordan is such a great course and I would say that 95% of the people on this site would have a blast playing it.

As for this hole, there is a lot of growth right off the tee to the right...any grip locks will send you right into the thicket. Been there, done that!! If you can hyzer flip something off the box and make it to the next openinig you have a very good shot at making an easy three. The upshot is not that difficult as there are only a few trees guarding your next shot. However, you can hit one of those trees if you relax too much. There is a creek right behind which can snag your disc if you overshoot the green. Remember there is a creek, which in the summertime means people in innertubes..Gripenemysy2k and myself saw an interesting little love fest taking place right in that creek last summer....made it really hard to putt with two people going at it less than 45' away. That being said:

Hyzerflip a GL River and Ion/Aviar to finish.

^^^^SORRY FOR THE THREAD JACK

*(Adam)*---if you are on this board...I still have your Star Boss from last summer. I plan on getting up to Jordan this summer with Gripsenemysy2k so I'll drop the Boss off to the guys in the van in the parking lot. Maybe they know who you are. I'll give you a call before we go up so maybe we can catch a round.

Looks like a nice hole. I'd probably plop a roller down with a flippy Pro Wraith, and perhaps throw a Blizz Boss just for fun too.
