—



Tee pad of hole nine. In addition to the signage, the tee pads were well-groomed. Turf-covered pads pointed in the direction of the fairway and basket were another welcome feature of this course.

—

My workhorse disc for the day: 178-gram Discraft Buzzz ESP midrange. It played excellently in the wind. Normally, I use a 164-gram Buzzz, so this disc usually just resides in my bag, waiting for either wind or heavy brush. Today, it was my entire "middle game" as it's extra weight made the difference between control or chaos.

—

All in all, a lovely short course. I will definitely be playing it again. And soon.
