HOD 07/18/12: Willamette Park in Corvallis, OR

I'm reading the map as #5 cuts left, not right? It's obviously to the right, though, so a big anny with my P-PD, Fuse/Yeti/Rhyno upshot, depending on how much trouble I'm in.

Good video. Looks longer than 250' to the right hand bend but opens up after that.

On the map, the number corresponds to the basket location.

Since I recently lost yet another Firebird, I'll go with the PD I replaced it with. RHFH around the corner. Then Ibex or putter approach depending on the distance.

[BogeyNoMore]

Depending on what I find when I walk the hole:
a) RHBH a Comet or Leo to flip to the right and fade back towards the left.
b) If prelim reconnaissance indicates the above strategy to be flawed, then RHFH a Z-Pred or Pro Boss to go right and stay right.

For all I know, going left might be better (RHBH that Pred or Boss...) if it gives me a better look.
Sometimes what you see on the course defies what the pix show.

RHFH Saint on an S-curve around that big bush straight ahead, then approach with a TL or Buzzz depending on where I land. Either that or release the Saint at the wrong angle and watch it roll into the bushes and try to save double bogey with a couple of Firebird shots.

thx for the video

i was under the impression that you had to throw over the tree in the middle. not turn right before the tree.

i'll z buzzz to the bend then champ leopard to the basket

Yes, it's definitely a bit longer than 250ft. to be able to hook right around the trees into the open green. I'll usually throw a Champion Destroyer LHBH directly at the central trees, to have it start fading just before it reaches them, at a distance of about 300ft. It's a fun hole, and I like that particular pin position a lot.
