Rochester: Practice at Ellison
July 25, 2013
Today's practice was at Ellison. The course was busy and two friends joined me as I introduced them to Rochester's most popular disc golf course.It was moderately crowded. Here is the play by play:
Hole 1/350ft ; Large tree to left : Excellent drive, nice up, par
Hole 2/390ft; Uphill curbing to left : Good drive, first approach hit tree, second approach good, +1
Hole 3/274ft: Downhill to right, trees blocking right backhand : High, short drive, short up, 2 putts,+1
Hole 4/387ft, Large tree to right, long field: Excellent sidearm drive, nice up, bad putt, +1
Hole 5/241ft, Short hole surrounding by trees, root terrain; sidearm to right, nice up, par
Hole 6/190ft, Short hole on slanted terrain: Excellent drive, crashed into pole! bounced, rolled 35ft downhill, up and par
Hole 7/528 ft, all downhill: Excellent drive and roll, short and offtarget approach, 3 putts (ugh)
Hole 8/262ft,almost 90 degrees to right: Good drive, overshot approach to downhill cliff, up and putt,+1
Hole 9/470ft: slight uphill, then steep uphill: Good drive; off center approach, 3 putts
Hole 10/290ft: narrow downhill; Near perfect drive, +48ft putt Birdie
Hole 11/195ft: steep uphill to right, trees&brush blocking righthand backhand, par
Hole 12/250ft: plateau then downhill; horrible drive (20 ft), horrible left approach, 2 putts +1
Hole 13/600ft: very long hole! field to left, trees to right, then in trees; disappointing short drives and approaches; probably +3
Hole 14/270ft: straight lane through trees: nice drive, nice approach, nice putt par
Hole 15/360ft : tree lanes on levels; tree crash on drive, nice approach, overputt, +1
Hole 16/320ft; downhill to right behind large bush; nice drive, nice approach, good putt par
Hole 17/590ft: good drive, very good approach, nice second approach, +30ft putt for par clanged basket & missed, +1
Hole 18/267ft; good drive, good approach (chance for birdie), missed putt, par
I had one birdie and 6 pars: mostly a good day with good drives;I used my Xcaliber star (innova) for my sidearm drives, my Discraft Hornet for backhand drives and Milleneum Omega for putting (!!!). I will try to return to my Star TL for my approaches, as I haven't learned the Hornet well enough yet.
