Your first shot is going to be blind for both positions, but if you walk up the ramp a little ways, you can get a glimpse of pin A's location. The preferred route to take is to the right of the tree. Don't forget that you will have to have enough distance on your disc, for both pin locations, to clear the ramp or your second shot is also gonna be blind. My disc choices are made based on my arm speed. My reference is that I can consistently throw my speed 10 SL around 300-325 feet.

Pin A (Short, to the right of the teepad): To the right of the tree stump (RHBH) requires a disc that will get you the distance to the basket (263-sign) but can finish with just enough fade that will park it next to the basket.

If you throw to the left of the stump, you may want an understable or very understable disc with a little anhyzer. Remember that this is an upshot so you're going to have to some distance to 263 to make sure the disc does not land short of where you intended to throw it.

I have never tried it but a RHFH shot might be OK for the basket on long because the disc has time to come back and a skip might be your best friend. However, a RHFH on the short pin placement might be a bit trickier. If you're playing the skip, it still has to get over the ramp or your second shot might be blind. If it skips, where the ramp flattens out, it might carry further than you want. It might even carry into the fairway of Hole 2.

With that being said, I have had good results throwing either my 150 Star or 175 Echo Star Leopard (6 5 -2 1) flat or with a tad of anhyzer. Both Leopards are beefy enough to finish strong towards the basket. I might even try my Eagle (7 4 -1 3) a little further to the right, little less power than the Leopard and try for some skip distance towards the basket.

I will throw (RHBH) my Pro SL or G-Star Wraith for all pin positions, for my arm speed (speed 10, Pro SL: 300-325').

On short, I will throw the disc straight or put a slight hyzer on it.

On long and the second shortest pin position, I will throw the disc with annie.

On second longest, I will throw the disc with slight annie.

Short: I throw (RHBH) my Champion Roc3 with slight annie, for my arm speed (speed 10, Pro SL: 300-325').

The other two positions, I will throw (RHBH) my Pro SL with slight annie. If my form is good, I'll break the G-Star Wraith on RHBH. I'm just hoping for 4 or less on the long position (C).

Don't let the downhill fool you. The disc still has to travel about 50-60 feet before the descent of the hill so I throw this hole as if it is flat.

Short: I throw (RHBH) my Echo Star Leopard with some annie slightly to the right of the basket, for my arm speed (speed 10, Pro SL: 300-325').

Long: (RHBH) my Pro SL or G-Star Wraith depending on my form.

Remember the MANDO on the left, so keep it right of that tree.

Short: Eagle, Leopard or TeeBird, thrown (RHBH) straight or with slight annie, for my arm speed (speed 10, Pro SL: 300-325').

Long: (RHFH) Star Firebird, hoping to get a nice skip near or into the basket in the cove.

On both pin positions, I will throw (RHBH) my Pro SL, for my arm speed (speed 10, Pro SL: 300-325').

If my technique is good, then I will reach for my G-Star Wraith for the long position.
