OR Team DG: Meadow Ridge course or Highland course on 12/6

[Scotty B]

I think it shouldn't matter what courses we play on as long as all the teams play the same courses this just means that the capt. will have to use some strategy to pull out a victory. In closing nobody gets better avoiding a challenge bring on the big course everyone will just have to speed up play alittle to make it possible to finish in a timely matter.

Have you seen how slow some of these people play?

That's no reason to make the rest of us play a pitch & putt golf course.

That's no reason to make the rest of us play a gold course...

I've been looking at a map and I think this might work. First # is the tee and second is the basket. 9 holes played twice.

Here's a map.

2-3
18-16
17-4
5-6
7-8
9-10
11/12-13 not sure which tee would work better but think 12 would
14-15
16-18, put a mando to the left of 16's basket to keep it safe.

Isn't there a rule, official or unofficial, that all courses played for TDG need to have 18 tee pads and 18 baskets? I thought Jordan noted this long before the season started. I don't want to play the Highlands for TDG, but if we have to, lets just play existing course. I would also recommend that we play singles on the Highlands and doubles on the Canyon.

I like you Bullseye your right why should we play a pitch and put when Mr. Horning has worked hard building this new course. It's good for all am players to play a bigger course because you will only get better. Whats next when we get to milo are you going to play from the am tee's that wont help your game get better.

Cant wait to hear what Jeff(sand bagger)Hemmerling has to say about this.

Do you mean Singles on the canyon and doubles on the big course?

There ARE 18 tee pads and 18 baskets... we would just be using 9 of each though.

Why send out 16 cards on the Highlands course and only 8 cards on the Canyon course? THAT makes a lot of sense.

Keith...Hemmerling has...look at comment #30 on this thread.

I think Pinkel is right...Rooster only has 9 holes east and 9 holes west and Jordan down.

I vote to split like normal and play Sat/Sun and we play the Canyon and Meadows.

Actually, I never said we should all play the good course... err... I mean the gold course. I would just rather not waste my time playing a pitch & putt course in a tourney. Seriously.... the longest hole on that course is 245 ft. Yawn!

PS: Yes, I do think Team Disc Golf is a series of tournaments Jordan.

[Scotty B]

I believe that if we play both courses it should even out this is a competition not a casual round of golf we don't slow down play at tourneys so why can't we use that same train of thought for TDG we all have some lower rated players and they are not all going to be on the same tee pad at the same time so everyone needs to step up and play like champions and rise to the challenge.

The reason Jordan shot it down is because it can't be played as 18. The only reason to modify Highlands is because if only doubles is on it then only 8 cards will be on it. Then with it modified it is no longer a "pitch and putt" so certain people won't feel like less of a person for playing it.

How will splitting it gain us more daylight? Will groups magically play faster if there are only 8 teams per day? If it takes a group 3-4 hours to play it, we don't have time... period.

Oh really? So why is it that a tourney round takes twice as long as a casual round?

Rooster can be played as two 18s:

TDG @ Rooster
Morning Round
Singles play east course twice = 18 holes
Doubles play west course twice = 18 holes

Afternoon Round
Singles play west course twice = 18 holes
Doubles play east course twice = 18 holes

[keith_shupp]

Jevon by splitting the days we wont have as many players on the course and can spread out. When we are all together you will have groups on every hole almost and it takes one group to slow down 4 groups behind them and force everyone to play at that groups pace.

Concrete tee pads are the other problem with playing the Highland course or did Bob make them concrete also. Does anyone know if the Canyon course tee pads are concrete?.

Jordan where are you what do you say, should we split days?.

[jevon]

The Canyon course is getting concrete this week. Highlands does not have concrete at this point.

If we split days we can all play on the Canyon course without issue, just like we would any other course we play.

Everyone has to play to the slower players pace anyway. Are you going to tell someone they only get 15 minutes for lunch because they walk slower than you?

If it takes one group 3-4 hours to play a round, it will take 8 groups 3-4 hours to play a round. We just don't have the light in December to be able to play two rounds that take that long.

[D-Walk]

Also take into consideration the schedule and who is playing whom. If we split days are we going to make the 2 Sunday teams, Sassy, Frassy and Lassy and the Rednecks, actually play on a Saturday?

I don't think anyone is necessarily avoiding the challenge of the Meadow Ridge course. I think it is more of a time issue. I played it for the first time today with a couple of friends, and it took us over 3 1/2 hours to complete it. I am now more convinced than ever that on that short day it will not be possible for two rounds on that course.

I was there today, and yes indeed they were pouring them today. Got to see the new and improved tee pad one, and it looked sweet. Can't freakin wait to throw from those.
