Thanks, just played the course today, fun layout great work.

I still couldn't figure out where the 18 mando right was, only the left mando had the orange ribbon.

I did not see any OB lines for 8 and 9 on the map images. one quirk of hole 9, is the outward diagonal line the mandos generate. This means you can be beyond the tunnel, but have to play backwards if you your drive was wide and slightly to moderately beyond the trees. Maybe the OB lines remedy this? If not, you could h ... more

Also our initial feedback. Holes one, seven, and eighteen (if we played it right), definitely added challenge and changed our shot selection. None of them felt gimmicky. We think hole 14 will be a massive separator as a missed putt will be an OB plus a difficult comebacker that could go OB again. ... more

Standard feel and on 17 is only 250 off of the tee, behind it is a good landing zone. Mando lines on 9 are supposed to be in relation to the teepad rather than in relation to each other

Also second mando will not be played on 18

I sent a message to Andy at Boulder Disc Golf but thought I might mention here as well, they need to turn the water off in the playing field for the few days leading up to the tournament for alternate tee pads 8, 17 & 18. They over water that field and it’s been terrible the few times I practiced the temp course, to easy to slip. Thanks.

Hole 18. PDF says left and right Mandos. Map only shows one Mando. I don’t see where the right mando would be only the left mando to prevent the hyzer.

Thanks! Can’t tell where it is on the map, can you mark it there.

Nicky Zeljo   July 25 at 8:34pm

I will update the map tomorrow and add the other mando. I’m also going to put the mandos up on the course on Saturday afternoon

It’s okay! I just like adding my rounds to UDisc when I get done so I can look back on them.

Hi Brad, I added the layout to udisc. Let me know if you have any questions

Kevin King    July 8 at 4:42am

Thanks for posting the layout early. Can you explain hole 12? I don’t understand the OB and DZ, is there a Mando?

Here are 12’s hole notes: OB right of painted/flagged line on close side of dirt road, mando right of marked tree, OB left from mando tree to fence. OB long beyond fence.

Nicky Zeljo   July 8 at 6:18am

The mando tree is the big tree on the left side of the basket, it just marks the start of OB on that side to protect 13’s tee.

That makes sense! Thank you
