[Mr Mirth]

Yeah, in my view water holes are indispensable ... this one looks most exciting!

Roc - Aviar from quartz.
Roc - JLS - Aviar from diamond.

I think I threw a Buzzz on this one. I think it went it in the pond. I think I managed to get it out of the water. I know it was a fun hole.

Anyway, with my weak arm, my strategy on this hole is always to pray there's not a headwind. Roc, Buzz, indeed! I'm trying to get across with a Vulcan. Or, less optimistically, a Wahoo.

Most of course, like most courses, plays easier in the winter. This hole plays easier from April-October, when the pond is swimmable. (At least there is hope of getting the disc back, though in places it's over your head 15' from shore).

Not surprisingly, there is quite a collection of disc-retrieval devices on site.

A better perspective:

Stoney Hill Hole 15 aerial.jpg

The Quartz layout (the home page photo, which is a reverse view) is the red line from the "16Q/16D" tee on the dam.

For the Diamond layout, that's a landing area and the yellow line goes to the basket (with the blue dotted line walk trail proceeding past it). A double water crossing.

The road and beyond are O.B.

The horses are on family property. Retrieval is only an issue if you're not sure whether the electric fence is on.

Thanks for the video, dscjnky. I'd only seen 1 or 2 short clips before, including my skip-off-the-ice. (1 of the holes shown is extinct, by the way).

Lulz!
Probably a 139 Blizz Wraith for both.


Looks like a gorgeous place (checks maps/calendar to see see when road trip might work) ...
