Other Thoughts:
I love taking my little dude out to this course for a round since he is still starting out. I have been using this course to test new discs that I have added to my bag. Hole 7 can be frustrating to "threaad the needle" but does make for a really interesting challenge. this hole might be one of those holes you return to and just practice throwing multiple times. I remember doing this on a course in the Midwest way back in the day when I first started playing disc.
I have heard people say that you need to watch out for other park users. I agree that other park users can be an issue if you are not paying attention. On that note, courtesy comes into play here. When playing this course, if I see someone on the sidewalk near one of the holes, I wait for them to pass, and then throw. On holes where residents of the neighborhood are lounging, I have found the best thing to do is ask them nicely to move. For instance, there were two young ladies on a blanket in the shade. I went up to them and asked nicely if they were willing to move as I have a tendency to hit whatever I last looked at. They smiled, gathered their stuff up and moved. After I played through I told them they could go back. They thanked me and returned to their spot.
Since this is in a residential neighborhood, I do my best to respect those that live there. This is a courtesy the residents deserve for allowing non-residents of the neighborhood to play the course. Keep it on the up and up and this course will stay open to the public.
