Secrets about your course.

[SmoothSailor]

There is a 9 hole layout on the current layout of the course. This shorter layout is the original design of the course from 1995. If you want to be in the know on how to get the experience of our course in half the time, come out on saturdays at 9am.

My favorite bit of local knowledge came from my trip to Charlotte. Apparently, on the infamous hole 14 at Hornet's Nest...the tight hallway hole.....there is a false tree that is concreted into the ground to take away a cheater local lane and force the tighter up the gut option

After you pet the Lady by Tee 17 at DeLa, wink 7 times while staring down the basket. You will be in Narnia for about 7 days.. When returned to DeLa you will pull your ace disc out of the basket and have no recollection of what happened in Narnia. It works.

There is a deer skeleton on hole #8 (off to the left before you get to the basket) at Bradford Park. I found it one day while searching for a disc. I thought I killed the deer with that errant shot and that the force of my throw knocked its flesh completely off.

At Blue Ribbon Pines, I've heard a few trees (which are cutoff) do not really belong where they lie, but that the owner strategically placed them to add more obstacles. Hole 13 is an example of this, there was two trees framing the hole, but now there is only one.

There is a 19th tee that plays to one of the practice baskets at El Dorado park in Long Beach, Ca.

We used to have this at Ottawa Park in Toledo. Too many noobz would throw putts all day long without looking back at the tee, so we put in a new practice basket. The college kids STILL only play 18.

ill take what he's having

make it a double

Burns Park now has two courses, but it didn't originally. I believe the original 18 holes can still be played, and all the teepads are still in the ground. One of the holes used what is now the practice basket. To my knowledge, the original basket course was put in in 1979 (before that there was an object course), and in 1990 it was split into the existing courses. There are several people that can tell ya the original layout still.

Also, not really a secret, but the PVC pipe that is hanging on hole 7 Red is there because a branchless tree used to be in that spot, until someone cut it down before the Southern Nationals Pro Championship in 2008 I think. At least, that is the story I was told. The pipe was installed to simulate the tree.

There's a hole on 8.

Alex Clark in McKinney TX has about a foot deep hole on hole 8 actually for srs

Interestingly enough, Rum Village old #9 had a hole in the fairway open up last summer. Someone put a stick in it and it kept getting larger and larger until they filled it in.

Once old hole #4 was deleted, it became the new #8!

My buddies found a dead body on our course. The secret is that I killed him.


Just joking but for real they found a dead body on my course.

Oak Grove in Pasadena, CA; has an original 1970's era disc golf basket hidden in the bushes on the left side of hole 10's fairway. It is locally referred to as the Iron Maiden.

...

Oh and the church and area across the way has an old graveyard that was for slaves. I thought that was weird moving down from the north. Of course this is Texas so...couldn't be that old.

Where???

 

[DSmith]

At Veterans Park here in Lexington;
On the walk between #15-#16 along the creek there lives a goldfish (he was only a few inches long when I first had spotted it) that someone released in the creek years ago and it's grown full into a full sized carp/koi whatever. It's now orange with black spots and about 2 feel long. You think it was just another carp if you weren't looking closely.

Morley Field in San Diego has a bunch of cemented in dead trees to keep certain holes from opening up new lines. The most obvious ones are right off the tee on hole 10 and all over on hole 17.

 

[prerube]

Carousel and Bluemont both have a secret tee on one of the holes.

 

[Cgkdisc]

A course in the Twin Cities is on the site of an old mental institution. Some claim to have seen ghosts or watched their discs inexplicably changing direction in mid-air with nothing nearby...

 

[Thomas437]

I know this is pretty common knowledge with the regular disc golfers around here but, at Oakland University, a student hung himself on a very erie looking tree on hole 9.

Cool thread eh?

I wish I had something to contribute.

I'll ask some of the old guard and see what they say and pass it on.
