This week I attempted MCC. I had avoided this course twice because of the throwing over the water. Hole #8 at MCC is 20 feet of sloping green, 180 feet of water and 40 feet of upward sloping green. This is unlike Hole #1 at Parma where there is 80 feet of fairway to make the easy second shot over the 60 foot pond.
So rather expectedly I lost my yellow TL, which I wasn't too bothered about, since it wasn't responding to my forehand or backhand throws. For my second shot I threw a Discraft Stalker forehand and that just about made it over. I was more bothered about the next hole which has the water to the right. I wanted to turnover the Champion Valkyrie, and instead threw a perfect anhyzer to the right directly into the water. Beautiful throw, wrong hole. It splashed down and floated upside down. The weight (150 grams) kept it afloat. There are disc scavengers that take a swim there for discs, so it is very likely it will be recovered but very unlikely that I will get it back into my hands...
MCC has more wooded holes than Parma, and hole distance is shorter. I think it is more technical course than Basil Marella, as the lanes are tighter and there are water boundaries on more holes. I was just as anxious for my other card players as their discs sailed over the edge of the water, then hyzered back to the green. Whew!
I
ended with a 72 (4 par , 10
(4's), 4 (5's) with 2 OB). I tried more and more to try hyzer throws for the shorter shots but I still do not have the form to throw the discs far or straighter. My approaches were mediocre, and I cannot remember making a good putt, thus the +1 throw on 10 holes.
