Ken Climo 2009 Barnett Park Disc Golf Championships Hole 18.

Nice looking disc golf hole. Does that skinny tree on the right prevent a right-handed thrower from throwing a wide hyzer? (And basically force a straight shot to the peninsula)

[md21954]

if i recall correctly, that's not a peninsula but a true island hole with a bridge and everything. that pic makes it look a lot longer than it really is.

[Jeff_LaG]

I can see on the tee sign that it says 315 ft, so it's probably like 290 to clear the water, right?

Which is why I ask about the tree - if available, it would probably be fairly straightforward to throw a wide hyzer with a driver on to the island. But if you have to throw straight at it, I'd like to use a midrange disc, but that's at the upper range that I'm comfortable throwing a midrange.

A pretty intimidating hole. Played it in the Barnett Park 08 tournament. Got a 2 and a circle 4. Threw overhands so never even saw that tree when I was playing it! Just saw a LOT of water! Yup, a true island (with a bridge). Saw MANY shots hit the island only to roll back into the OB water. Yup, just about 290' to clear but that's to the closest 'dry land'; the island's an oval and a bit wider than it is deep. Bring wind into the equation and... Nasty.

Jeff it is 290 to clear the water. I'm not sure if the tree was in the way of a big hyzer or not since I was throwing sidearm. This ended up being my best hole of the tournament carding 2 birdie 2's!!! WOOHOOO!!

And yes it is a true island green, and it is a fairly long shot to make it to the island.

That's where Tom was going to end up if he took the lead off of Jerry.
