HOD 12/2/14: Golden Gate Park DGC Hole 16 in San Francisco, CA

[Peterb]

my home course. It really depends upon which basket position here. There is a mando right of the first tree so people usually throw a RHBH hyzer to all three postions. The optimal flight path is quite a decent huck though to any basket, but especially C which is up the hill a bit. Here are my preferred throws and discs to all three positions:
A) RHBH teebird
B) RHBH orc
C) RHFH monster to get the flex uphill. I've hit basket which plays like a 380ft hole (around 350 true distance)

 

[VictorB]

z comet or dx roc.

[Hyzer Ale]

I will agree with Peter, this was my home course for a little over a year. This hole plays longer than it is. It is mando right and a bit uphill. The landing area is also sandy so a lot of times there is no skip. I always threw (rhbh).

a) star teebird
b) star Wraith (my more overstable one)
c) star Wraith (seasoned one to hold the line)

 

[JohnnyBee]

Comet

 

[JTacoma03]

Yeah you guys aren't getting there with putters. It's uphill with a sloped R-L fairway.

 

[DanJon]

That's odd. The photo looks like a flat, straight putter shot at 250'.

If it plays longer then some sort of Eagle or Roc.

 

[CaliGoldRush]

My home course here, I usually throw a tern or a wraith depending on the basket position. Bigger arms might throw a fairway driver.

Typically an easy birdie for A and B pins, C is a bit more complicated

Basket positions off the tee:

Approach:

 

[Disc Fiend]

Roc. (Maybe FD if it plays as long as the locals say it does).

 

[namar]

revising per the local knowledge and useful pics~

champ TL to A and B pins, maybe a beat star Boss to C.

 

[chevis]

rhbh Rival to A and B. rhfh flex a Firebird to the C position

 

[metallicafreak121]

Starfire skip shots on the A and B pins, probably a Gstar Krait as far up the gut as possible on the C pin. RHBH

 

[jogan82]

As another local who throws this hole regularly, it's a RHBH Firebird to A, a Thunderbird to B and a Boss to C for me. As PeterB and JTacoma said, hyzers and not putters

 

[Peterb]

the distance measurement on these holes is deceptive because of the mando. The actual distance you must throw is closer to 285 for A, 310 for B, and 350 for C

 

[JC AceHole]

Kc roc

 

[Mr. Butlertron]

Great, another picture that doesn't give the reviewer a clue where the basket is. My answer : truth

 

[Mixed Bag Madness]

RHBH
A: D1
B: Star Teebird
C: Seasoned Star Teebird

 

[BENFTS]

As a long time Bay Area thrower I can say that I personally have never seen anyone get to the deep position with a putter. With more than 100 rounds played at GGP, this is what I use off the tee.

A. Pro Leopard
B. Pro Leopard
C. Pro Destroyer

 

[boston93430]

Leopard or Beast, LHBH. Some of the REALLY big arms might be able to get a putter there, if I hit the approach I am a happy camper.

 

[ODRB]

DanJon's got it.

Its a RHBH hyzer release with a Roc to A and B to the right of the mando and to the left of that tree that looks like it's right down the center of the path. Or it's a flat Eagle to C, same line but a little more to the right. I was just there a couple weeks ago and it was my home course (I lived a few blocks away) for three years. It plays a little long, but it is a fairway driver to C.
