What did you score on your very first round at Blue Lake
 

While it is still fresh in everyone's memory it might be interesting to see what score everyone got on their virgin round at Blue Lake. You can include your best (and even worst) subsequent scores.

A 68 I think. Buddy love kept score, and I think he was spot on by my rough estimate, lol. Mr David Smith shot a group best 66, but I cant recall if it was his first round, but I think so.

The course tore me up. All I will say is that I was well into the double digits. Next time I'm getting payback. Fun course.

i shot a 77 my first day. then a 69 two days later.

I shot a 65 my first time through. My best so far is a 64.

What's the general consensus on the rough? OB? I still haven't played a full round. Would like to get one in soon.

78 on opening day, returned on sunday to throw a 71.

The consensus on the rough is: stay out of it ;)

I started out hot and then 17 killed me and I ended with a 75. Could have been worse, I lost nothing. Rough treated me well, not to hard for me to find my discs and it seems to be getting trampled quickly.

first full round for me was a 75 and lost to my buddy on the final hole who shot a 74...:headbang:

:pirate:

We played all the rough as OB. Most people I talked to are not.

Is the on/over the path on the right side of #17 OB? What about the path between #1 and #18? My upshot on #18 skipped past the basket and onto the path.

Thanks!

:trophy:

I went back and shot a 72 (which included a 7 on 7 and a 7 on 17--coincidence?)

No, but the long grass will be.

Yes, we're hoping to make the OBs much clearer over time, but obviously it is a monumental task. :)

With OB's
 

I shot a 76. If you don't count OB's I shot a 70 even.

The rough is very rough on the back 9. I lost a second run Orange Katana on 13 in the tall tall grass. Even with spotters, disc disappear there. I havn't been back and won't without a group. The rough is just too rough to play without spotters.

Love the course though. Love it. It'll be great in about a year of play and could be one of the best in the world in about 2.

68 for me! This place is epic! Only took 2 ob penalties in the long grass. It made up for going 3 over par at pier for the weekend. A little confidance booster. Thanks to all that made this place happen! The portland disc golf community rocks! New favorite course in oregon!

i shot
 

A 78... Huge blister on my throwing finger...so not too bad! Place is absolutely amazing...feels like I'm ball golfing on a disc golf course which is awesome. Spent hardly any time looking and lost zero discs...not sure what all the fuss is about with the rough. If you throw 50 feet left of center on most fair ways on any course you risk losing a disc. Same here. My only hole i thought was dumb was 17... But honestly if hole 17. Would have been one of my first holes when i wasn't exhausted with a blister i probably would have thought it was a fun challenging hole. Awesome job to all involved with this gift to our disc golf community! Nice shooting Parker

Ollis 63 w/a nice string of 6 birdies in a row on the front
Coates 68 w/a Roc ace run on #10 that hit center nubs & chain, then 4-putted for an exciting 5.

We played tall grass as OB and mostly avoided exciting search parties and lost soldiers w/the exception of Hagerty's trusty Spider.

Much thanks goes out to everyone who worked so hard on this course; it is a true joy to play and it made me want to play more often again!

I shot a 66. Not sure about OB's though. Only had 3 shots off the short stuff. 2nd shot by basket 5. 2nd shot short left of basket 15. 2nd shot short right of basket 16 in tall grass.
Braden played holes 1-5 and 15-18 and shot 11 over for those holes. His only possible ob was tall grass on 16.
Good playing with you Jeff hope to catch ya at Wortman soon.

Grand opening day, hotspot concern...
 

Fourth group out after grand opening. shot a 71 w 2 lost disc strokes added, not playing grass ob. I'm about a 945 rated golfer. Carded up w 3 other golfers Id just met, and we all had a blast, despite running out of water, being delerious from the 98 degrees, missing a few discs, and our legs chewed up from the brambles. I just met my friends mom a cpl days later and she was worried I was a self mutilater. "No, don't worry," I said. "We were just playing the newest course in the area and the ruff was ruff." She smiled w nervous relief.
So, after playing a few rounds out there, I noticed I was wanting not to deal w the 2 huge (firs?) in the middle of hole 5 and wanted to take the cheater route over basket#4 as the easiest way to get a 3( and not lose your disc.) This is a hotspot for safety for ppl playing on #4. Do you think there is mando potential there? Are you all taking this route too? Id prolly keep playin it this way, but try to alert upshotters on 4 a headsup, if its cool. Unless its a growing concern. Opinion course guru's?
