Default Meadow Ridge course or Highland course on 12/6
This is Jordan's secretary again helping him out, so please respond to the following poll.

For the December team golf match at Horning's Hideout which course do you prefer to play along with the canyon course?

Cindy

PS this poll is just for people who are on a team disc golf team.

Shouldn't it be Meadow Ridge instead of Gold?

Did not realize they changed the name sorry. I don't know how to change that, but maybe one of the mods can do it.

Yes, I believe it is Meadow ridge.

It'll take a serious amount of time to play the Meadow Ridge Layout.

Isn't the Highland course a pitch and putt?...Rockwood size? How can we give a handicap on this course? Didn't Jordan while picking courses say the Rockwood/Leverich were toooo small to play on?

Next question regarding the Meadow Ridge course...didn't Bob Horning say it will take 3-4 hours to play that course? If so do we even have enough light for both (canyon/meadow ridge)...oh yeah with everyone (Sat/Sun) there?

My 2 pennies for the discussion.

I am very much against using the Highlands course for TDG. The SSA would be incredibly low making it hard to separate the field by handicap. On the other hand, the Gold course will take a long, long, long, long time to play considering the amount of TDG participants rated below 850. How about playing the doubles matches on the Gold course and the singles matches on the Canyon course?

I'm in agreement with Jason here! The short course it too short and the long course is too long. Doing singles on the Canyon and Dubs on the long course is a good solution. Especially since I would most likely forfeit a singles round on the big course. (I know my physical limitations)

If my math is correct that would almost fill up the Canyon Course with 16 cards, and have 8 cards of doubles on Meadow Ridge. Does that sound right?

Does the Highland course have tee pad's I thought they were dirt. I agree there is no way we can make up strokes on the smaller course. I have not played the new course yet but from what I hear it's hard and you need spotters on a few holes. I think we will be fine what we should do is have Saturday teams play on one course and sunday teams play on the other then changes courses for the second round. We might have to take a shorter break for lunch like a 1/2 hour then hit the second round.

No to short course. Played new course yesterday concrete was in. I liked it, long drive I would rather play the longer harder course.

So say that we go with this option, how long do we wait for the 8 dubs cards to get done with the long course before we send out everybody for the afternoon singles? Will 2 players rated below 850 get around the long course that much faster than 1? An hour faster? I am thinking of 8 ratings points per stroke for the long course though...

We have an SSA chart for a reason. Just because we've only used the 9, 10 & 11 parts doesn't mean that we can't use the other parts. We just need a valid SSA for the Highland course. It may be that we use 14 or 15 ratings points per stroke on that course. We will still play plenty of long and hard courses this year, they all don't have to be monsters.

Kevin, I didn't say that Leverich was too short to be included, just that it couldn't hold a 10 team match due to the number of holes. Likewise Rockwood/Vance suffers from the same problem as Rooster Rock, you cannot play them as 18 hole courses. There are 18 holes at the Highland course and it can accommodate the match nicely.

Keith, the holes are short. A stand and deliver tee shot works for every hole I believe. If we play in bad weather then it really won't matter much which course we play, there will be enough mud for everybody's enjoyment.

I think that since we are playing on the shortest day of the TDG year we may need the highland course to get around the courses in daylight. I am leaning towards playing the Highland course. Please continue with your thoughts on the singles/doubles playing on different courses. How do you think the logistics will work for that? How can we make it work? I'd be willing to give it a try if we can get a good plan going.

Otherwise, maybe next year we can play Horning's early when we have DST to help us out.

I think with the shortest day of the year, playing the Highlands is not a bad idea at all. I do agree that a slightly higher ratings per stroke should be added. The new gold course is long and sick, would be a great TDG course, but on short daylight hours, I cant see it happening this year.

But we could have Captains Set Line Ups at 7a and tee off as close to 7:30a as we can...
