I was looking at the courses set for the 25th Memorial Championship where I noticed how frequently water comes into play. This is just to share my amusement with this, as being from Michigan (The Great Lake State) we appear to be less determined to include water that often. That may be due to the overflow casual water we regularly deal with. The bodies of water I saw on your course pages look man-made. Does that suggest that retrieving discs is more possible because the water is somewhat shallow?
Those water hazards we do have in Michigan tend to be natural formations with depths too great for a simple walk-in. I have
discs sleeping in the same water as that navigated by ocean freighters. Lastly, both courses appear to be top level.
Although it is man made, in Fountain Hills you definitely need a golden retriever to get your disk, the water is disgusting and there is duck poop everywhere. Vista is a different story, some of the water is knee to waist deep while other parts can be up to 6-7 feet. That water is also not so clean so enter at your own risk!
Got it...thanks. We get Canadian Geese leaving messes on our pond shores. A few birds get clobbered on blind shots.
