Maybe one day Ryne McCoy, Ryan My_Hero and Samantha My_Hero will get to play on courses like ke'Ohana and the course Kevin is working on. Fingers Crossed.

I'm just a dumb, ignorant American by birth and Southern by the grace of God peon. You could have just used her other real name.

Before and after images like that are bad for the sport.

Outstanding!

Looking at the various photos, the posts I have read and from what My_Hero has told me, this course has sky-rocketed toward the top of my "wish list".... and I don't even know where it is...

It's in TX, right around the corner from everybody.

Mr. B was just using me as a data pawn. The pawn always goes home when on the chopping block. Though I did get an eagle "3" on old #8(par 5), a wicked left to right arcing narrow tunnel. Gave him good data there. I have thrown a disc in the water every time on old hole #4(woods right, narrow landing area, lake on left the entire way), never parring it and giving him bad data like double circle 7's on the par 4.

Now that's funny!

The only way you will make it out there is if you are rated
1000+ of sub 875

Not true. Pepper and ClaydoggyDog have visited the enchanted grounds. Their ratings fall somewhere between 875 and 1000.

Wow. That is awesome. I was just walking through some sand the other day and thought "What if someone put in a giant sand bunker? I bet not being able to get good footing in that stuff would make it a veritable hazard." Excellent-looking course!

exactly, I was in there today trying to do a jump putt because the basket is a good 15 feet above your head, and about 45 feet away. Each time the footing gave way as I was trying to jump.

Got to learn the overhead upside down putt from those positions just like I showed Val how to do on the dreaded elevated triple tree basket at Worlds.

That looks great, Kevin. ( BTW congrats on the new McCoy )
I have got to make it up there as soon as possible to see that one. Is the water shallow enough to get your disc back? I'm sure I'll be finding out sooner or too later.

It was pretty funny, after that he went to the drop zone and only cleared it by a few inches.

At least now I can use the video to locate my wizzard.

Can you actually throw short somewhere to lay up, like near the drop zone, in case it's really windy and you want to try for a safer three?

You can lay up to the drop zone

but even a short arm like me can reach it from the blues with my putter. I just shanked it a little right on the drive.

Its not as far as it looks in the video, just a straight downhill shot.

IT's a short drive. I barely threw my putter and it cleared the green.

That may be true for blue and gold players. But sometimes lower divisions will be playing those tees and I just wanted to know there was a lay-up play. I've also played in conditions not uncommon to Oklahoma where the winds were wicked on some days and a lay-up might look good even for blue and gold players.

There is plenty of room to lay up short of the water...One of our local am ladies has stuck the green with no problem...185 ft down hill, makes it play about 120.
