It’s too early for this.

[u/PopularTask2020]

Love how there’s just a picture of the basket up close on the sign. Maybe the goofiest part

[u/coffeebribesaccepted → u/PopularTask2020]

I love that, all tee signs should just be a photo from the tee with a circle or arrow on the basket. No one needs clip art of trees that don't actually match the trees on the course.

[u/Damage13 → u/PopularTask2020]

I really want to use this idea for course design. Showing the green and basket with trees that you can identify from a distance. That's brilliant!

[u/burrito_magic]

What is this a tee pad for ants?

[u/Unused_Vestibule → u/burrito_magic]

That teepad needs to be... At least three times as big!

[u/Ozz87 → u/burrito_magic]

Plenty of pad for 199’

[u/Lefty2215 → u/Ozz87]

How am I supposed to get my run up and throw my destroyer on 199'?

[u/4thJulyMamasApplepie → u/Ozz87]

I mean, people can throw 500' on the grass, so I guess really you can say, don't even need a pad, huh

[u/chadsmo → u/Ozz87]

Literally don’t need to move your feet

[u/mtubeowulf → u/Ozz87]

You mean two feet? I know I'm hitting those trees.

[u/joneser005 → u/burrito_magic]

It's called a tee step.

[u/Subject-Review4708 → u/burrito_magic]

That's a teabag

[u/darwin1809ce]

I’m confused how these trees aren’t beat to shit

[u/solomonplewtattoo → u/darwin1809ce]

Looks so close to the tee that it might actually not be too hard to get through

[u/PIASmanager → u/darwin1809ce]

Nobody plays this "course"

[u/radil → u/PIASmanager]

There's no way a course that is not played has a double mando.

[u/StrifeSociety → u/darwin1809ce]

Because it’s a tame FH approach shot and you can reach halfway from the tee to the “gap”.

[u/nautilator44]

just spin one of the arrows so they both point left. problem temporarily solved!

[u/DPTDubbs]

Forehand roller.

[u/discordianofslack → u/DPTDubbs]

Yep flick roller all day because I want to keep my hand intact.

[u/chewybrian → u/DPTDubbs]

That's my only realistic play

[u/chrismetalrock → u/[deleted]]

BuT ItS UnIqUe

[u/Negativeghostrider87]

Some people like to watch the world burn.

[u/sklimtch]

I bet it looks way more achievable from the pad, to be honest. Also, the tee being so small makes me think it was designed as a standstill forehand.

Not a typical hole but I appreciate any ingenuity in the sport right now.

[u/dirtbum]

That’s fine for B pad but I’d hate having that every time.

[u/Beanzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzx]

Entirely shitty designe all around here.

[u/safferstihl]

199 par 3
Baskets in the middle and fairly open
Forehand anny something overstable. One of the birds

Or put a roller down that bad biddy
This would be a nightmare in a tournament but honestly as a teaching hole, it’s got a lot of potential to force you to learn good approaches

[u/Xilanxiv → u/safferstihl]

Yeah forehand flick roller for sure.  Start it on a tilt to the right so it veers that way and it'll finish left.  You'll hit the gap everytime. 

[u/Aarrington88]

No issues with the mandos, but wtf is that tee pad?

[u/chadsmo → u/Aarrington88]

It’s 200ft, no need to move feet. Maybe a baby step.

[u/Aarrington88 → u/chadsmo]

I get that, but my standstill stance is wider than that pad.

[u/Snapped_SouthBend]

If you can't hit a gap 3 feet in front of you, you didn't have the accuracy to get a birdie with or without the trees

[u/notthesethings → u/[deleted]]

If you’re a player who can’t hit that mando consistently, you’re a player who should be playing for fun and practice instead of score. If you’re that bad and your score is going to determine your mood after the round, you’re going to have a bad time most days. Probably should just not play sports for your own mental health, honestly.

[u/VillageBeef → u/Snapped_SouthBend]

Agreed. Definitely a gimmick hole but not a hard one.

[u/No-Gas-1684]

So, how'd you shoot?

[u/CookieTheSwede → u/No-Gas-1684]

Got that par. And I felt like 2” from a broken hand.

[u/fakeguitarist4life]

Throw a roller

[u/trevman7]

The audacity of putting the arrow on the leftmost tree as if there’s a chance I could shoot the gap between the middle tree and the left mando tree…

[u/Sensitive_Tour_4118 → u/trevman7]

I was thinking the exact same thing. Looked very hard for any gap between those trees

[u/MidwestFescue82]

This upsets me more than it should.

[u/n1rvous]

Early?? You’re on hole 18!

[u/Bearonsphone3]

Forehand roller baby!

[u/tuna_safe_dolphin]

I like it. I’d be annoyed if every hole was like this though for sure.

One of my favorite courses has a lot of variety including one hole that has an open field for about 75-100 feet followed by a phalanx of trees. Like a wall of them with no real lines or big gaps to aim for, and it’s about 20-30 feet deep till it opens up again. And maybe another 100-150 feet to the basket.

It’s so unusual that I like it. The safe play is to lay up at the tree line where you have a much better chance of weaving through the trees.

[u/CookieTheSwede → u/tuna_safe_dolphin]

This was the only one. They saved it for 18.

[u/kilikopele]

Lordy. That's not a Mando. That's a MEAN-do!

[u/AsvpLovin]

What sort of clown course designer sends people home with this hole?

[u/Jazzlike-Basket-6388]

Looks like a pretty basic righty forehand flex.

[u/Holmelunden]

Shitty design on all counts.

[u/ButterscotchLow7330]

I mean, this is like 10 feet in front of the tee. Isn't this pretty easy to hit? 

[u/MasterTrav666]

Depends on the length of the hole. If it’s under 150, maybe even 200, I think it’s pretty fun.

[u/CookieTheSwede → u/MasterTrav666]

It’s 199’

[u/Kirbyr98]

Looks fake. No damage to the trees.

[u/MeowNow1987 → u/[deleted]]

I’ve actually played this course it’s a short 9 hole course at a church that was put in maybe a couple weeks ago

[u/chromebutts → u/MeowNow1987]

9 hole course with a hole 18.. right

[u/MeowNow1987 → u/chromebutts]

2 pads 9 baskets the course is called Centerville Grace DGC

[u/CookieTheSwede → u/MeowNow1987]

The last few holes are fun. If they could find a way to fill that ditch in front of 16 with water that hole would be amazing.

[u/Responsible_Cat5285 → u/MeowNow1987]

Definitely the course. My first course that got me playing about a month ago. My experienced partner was a lefty and smashed the left tree. I laughed at the design but had no issues going between

[u/tokinaznjew]

It's just early enough. The sun is up.

[u/CookieTheSwede → u/tokinaznjew]

Hey, I work late shift. Early for me.

[u/PeekedInMiddleSchool]

F

[u/SunChaserDiscDyes]

This is when having a good standstill forehand comes in handy

[u/chattahoocheecoochee]

Tomahawk flare skip

[u/DookieToe2]

The mandatory ‘overhand roller’ shot.

[u/waswasisyesterday]

That's a forhand no matter what, I'm not turning my back to those ones

[u/JlMBEAN]

Too early? That's hole 18.

[u/eshultz]

Thumb roller baby

[u/katet_of_19]

You know that tree has mangled many hands...

[u/Comfortable-Unit-897]

Roll roll roll your disc gently down the green.🎶

[u/namroff]

Said out loud first: "hit the gap" 🤞

[u/Ryan3740]

Flick putter roller?

[u/m1ssthickness]

I honestly love this😂

[u/CookieTheSwede → u/m1ssthickness]

I was actually laughing. It’s the last hole on a small church course. Fun finish.

[u/TheDirtyMagician]

Nope, I'm jump-putting to make the mando and just taking the par (maybe) 😂

[u/lilBlue717]

Hey, I too play disc golf in Ohio!

[u/DoubleZ3]

little standstill right up against the trees seems easy enough. the closer, the easier

only thing with these is getting your brain to allow your arm to fully release and follow through knowing you wont hit the trees with your hand lmao

[u/penoleme]

AI? fake pad, (I mean seriously…what sort of tee is that?)… no marks on trees.

[u/BMK_WhateverWorks]

Sorry if I missed it, what course is this?

[u/Responsible_Cat5285 → u/BMK_WhateverWorks]

Centerville Grace DGC in Ohio

[u/BornMix566]

Time for a roller

[u/Grizzley141]

One of the holes at a course i used to play on alot had a similar double mando. But it was 30 feet off the tee.

[u/Mean_Objective5272]

Short course designed to practice upshots. 200' FH cut roller hole.

[u/Nice-Willingness-607]

Hole 18? What a shitty way to leave a course

[u/goingfor288]

That tee pad though lol

[u/Grand_Strike_2785]

Forehand roller hole. I'd park that with an Entropy.

[u/danley456]

🤣🤣

[u/refluentzabatz]

Standstill corehand roller all day. Sorry lefties

[u/tackleboxjohnson → u/refluentzabatz]

Lefties can make the same throw, it’ll just curl right at the end of the roll

[u/Juice-RPh]

F that

[u/burgher89]

Whoever designed that is in need of a grippy sock vacation.

[u/SaddestClown → u/burgher89]

In this economy?

[u/burgher89 → u/SaddestClown]

Especially in this economy lol

[u/clark2bb]

It’s a course on a church property where all the holes are like 200ft or under. It is not intended to be a real course. It’s very fun for what it is. It looks worse in the picture than it is in real life. Is it a good hole no, but it really isn’t that bad and is a fun shot even if it isn’t a “good” shot. Also it’s under 200ft.

[u/CebronJames]

What are the other 17 holes like? I think we call holes like this bad design too often and it's just a hard hole. 

[u/sleepyEDB]

Love it. Comet all day, laser straight. Pew pew! ☄️😃

[u/Flair_Is_Pointless]

Bad day for the “It’s just difficult” crowd

[u/Nuclear-Blobfish]

At 200’, it’s not a bad standstill rhfh shot with a stable putter, but I’d still probably fh roll it just because it would be in my head

[u/herbiedishes]

Ok, I have to ask-what course is this? I’d love to check it out.

[u/Responsible_Cat5285 → u/herbiedishes]
