Just an example that a overall long course can have excellent balance and not neccesarily all long holes and that they can handle just a few long ones without special tees. I have no idea what you have planned, just supporting the idea of a long course and relieve those who are in "panic" mode hehehe...

Absolutely. This is why we need to keep building courses. Lots of them. Which brings us back to...

Go Bob!

I'm stoked. Who is helping design and giving advice on the course? Who has input and who has final say?

can't wait to play!

That's sexy talk right there. Thanks, Bob!

See you tomorrow evening. Several of us coming out for some glow on the shorty. Join us if you can.

It's not uncommon for gold courses to have shorter white level tees that end up being played more often than the gold tees for day-to-day play. At Highbridge, WI, the gold course is the least popular among the four in terms of total rounds. However, everyone wants to try the 9500+ foot challenge at least once. Then, many play the 7000+ ft white tees the next times they visit.

Bob,

John Houck is the premier course designer out there. I have played several of his courses and always found them challenging. Perhaps he would be interested in throwing you some recommendations? I think his courses are fair and challenging.

John IS a great course designer.....what else is there to do with all that land in Texas..

AND the top of his head makes a great arm rest when Im standing next to him
(sorry that was a short joke)

We DO have some pretty good course designers right here in Oregon, as well

It would be great if more NW players became members of the Disc Golf Course Designers group to learn some of the finer points of course design. So far, only Brad Huggins and John Conte have been members from the OR-WA area compared with 7 or 8 members in states like Texas, Minnesota, Wisconsin and North Carolina which are known for their courses.

Interesting. What does that entail?

Send me an email at ck34 at aol.com and I'll send the info. Unfortunately, our member website is currently moving from one server to another so it's not online.

I would say only the two BSF courses at Milo McIver truly qualify.
Oakway down in Eugene (at least the version I played) would definitely be a gold course.

Especially if they hadn't yanked it.

RIP Oakway
