long tee:

i've got to take the land route. i'll just whip a champ orc at the first bit of water and let it fade left to land.

it's the approach(es) that has to be precise... prob a overhand gl xxx or a rhbh firm vp.

either way i'm getting a 4 at best because i will be too afraid to overthrow the approach.

Cool hole!
From the pics I imagine it to be ~340' to clear the water from Blue Tee; I'll throw a Surge.
Red Tee looks like a Starfire.

Very fun course. It plays back and forth over those fingers lakes which are used as a water sky and wake boarding. Very fun to watch while you are playing. It is a pay to pla bc they hire a scuba diver to collect discs that go in the water.

[Brall]

ha, really? that's pretty cool that they hire a scuba diver.

i'd bet that there are people that would pay to play here far before other pay to play courses just for that reason.

it's fun to play a course with some really hard water hazards but it'd be even more fun if you know that your discs have a much higher probability to get back in your hands.

What a nice HOD!

From the long, probably RHBH a buzzz on a hyzer and get close to the short tee. From there, RHBH teebird on a hyzer and stay away from the water.

This is what the HOD is all about. Seeing cool holes and trying to strategize the best ways to play them.

I think I'd play it with a backhand way out to the right, Buzzz or Ibex. I'm looking to get it to fade just a little bit back towards the water and settle on the edge for an easy up shot over.

The best part of the day is watching water skiers eat it. It's real serious down there. They are the competitive stuff going around the bouyies.
