"I thought # 8 was also a very cool little hole. It's 225' or 295' with the basket sitting on a small inlet with the lake looming on three sides. The normal reasonable shot would be forehand flick out over the lake. But today with the winds blowing 10 MPH + I chose to play it very conservatively and hyser to the right side and avoid the water."

I really like the circular tee, from a conceptual and aesthetic standpoint. But is that a pain to frame up and pour?

I'd probably go safe BH Roc layup, unless the wind was from the left and tempted me into a wild/inadvisable forehand hyzer line.

Trying to remember this hole, the Memorial layout is so different from the normal course that I can't quite figure out which one this is. 8 and 9 look really similar.

I think I threw a Wizard right up the middle on this one, landing on the upslope near the basket. If I remember correctly, it's really difficult to throw around the trees because then you need to come in at high speed onto a small mounded peninsula, surrounded by water. So you're basically guaranteed to skip into the water if you try a wide route.

Two different routes to take here depending on wind.

BH - PD hyzer route, crash it into the hill and let it skip up.
FH - MD5 or Mutant, testing the water.

RHBH Sexton Firebird. Hope to flare out onto the peninsula for a putt.

RHBH Firebird, anhyzer to get right of the trees but its a Firebird so it'll fade back, safely over land

 

[RUSSELL]

soft focus, soft focus play for the three...

How old are these photos? The current tee signs are different, and I'm not sure this hole exists anymore with the 20 hole layout.
I think this pad is the new hole 10. Udisc has it as 259, so that's where the distance disparity is coming in.

Framing would take a little extra time, pouring shouldn't be an issue, edging might be a bitch.
