now, do i wish that my 'junk discs' were champ orcs instead of grooves? sure. but no one is selling champ orcs for $4 in good condition.
until then... /meh

oh yeah! i can't wait to try my luck at Blue Heron again. i've only been there once and i couldn't clear 21. lost my #3 slice (floater junk disc).
next time i go i will for sure throw a groove over it. what's the distance? i wonder if anyone has checked that on google earth yet... maybe 340' slightly downhill?
i never hate the groove. it fills a fantastic spot in my bag as my junk disc for holes where the chance of losing a disc is higher.
for example, when tee'ing off over a large water hazard, i have a choice between a dragon and a $4 groove purchased from this site. ... for me a groove flys much better than a dragon
here's a tee that shows why you may choose an overstable junk disc that you don't mind losing over an understable dragon
i parked this with my groove. had i thrown the dragon it's possible i could have done the same, but it's just as possible that i wouldn't have hit land at all. a groove is overstable enough to come back for sure.
Maybe I missed it, but which course was the photo taken? The hole seems a lot of fun, but I think I'd be nervous throwing my preferred disc over this one!thx man!
that was my favorite hole on the course by far
Yeah. I guess I need to use something a little better than Defenders for throw aways and maybe a DX Orc wouldn't be much better. They are so bad, they don't even know when to go in the drink. I think next time I am near Blue Heron I should stop to see if I can carry hole 21 with those.

I google earthed it after I saw the sign saying 310' to clear the water and it came out about right. I was disappointed I sank 2 beat DX Valks trying and failing for only 310'. Grant it, I was very close and a bit on the far right shore, but still!
looks like 340ish from the tee and 240-250ish from a decent place to throw from the water.
next time i play i'll probably still just putt forward to a nice flatter spot like i did before. can't wait to try it again!
