summer travelling discgolf photos
been all kindza places this past month. haven't had a weekend home in a long time, and probably won't for a while yet. here we go:
stoughton's a great little 9er southeast of madison. this hole in particular pretty much forces you to go through this tiny gap during the high-speed turn of the flight...
...so it can coast gently around the corner to the hole.
a tough flick down a long perilous hallway and through no easy hole to a hard right
this one's neat--the branch totally makes the hole. midrange length around and pretty hard left after the tree.
my buddy peck has been setting up a private course on a nature center that brings poor kids from the city out to have some nature experiences. he's clearing out tons of invasive species, and has yet to mow fairways. we took some photos on a test-run of some of the holes with a lightweight tempbasket.
this was a TOUGH pro tee demanding an impossible immediate right turn and long glide downhill.
down the alley (unlikely) and through some guard trees to the edge of the creek
putting back from the edge
this hole was awesome. i liked it, but wondered if it was too hard until both of us had killer deuces on it. 4/5ths of the hole is uphill over a tree filled slant starting over the gorge, then it slants down left towards the hole where the gorge tightens back in. there'll probably be an anhyzer route down to the fallen tree at left opened up someday.
looking up at the hole from the fallen tree
peck does the monster-mash winding up for the throw
and i do the twist
i thought it was kinda interesting that he moved the camera such that everything but the moving disc was blurred...
more teenager-engineering in the woods, this one hidden at lime kiln. used to be more hooked up; their shade'd been busted up a bit.
a pretty hole at telulah; easy if you can throw a flick. there's a shallow gorge running from the path along and up the left side of the hole.
puts one right up there
telulah's yet another appleton-area course that trains frequently go right by holes.
made this awesome putt facing away and reaching out to the left, had to coast it pretty hard with the trees in my face... after shooting crappy all day in the tourney there of course.
the famous elver 18 pro tee in madison
standing rocks, site of wisconsin's toughest annual tournament. i think this is 16. they just switched to being a pay course; i paid my 20$ season pass, so get that second course put in already! ^_-
at the bottom of hole 1 after coming down a huge hill at left and behind
with the placement of some of the trees on this one, it can look just as long as this wider-angle shot makes it look. a long hole through meager but strategic trouble, down after halfway and back up again pretty steeply at the end. everything along the edges is usually deep leaves, and there's especially unfriendly landing far up at right.
peck ran his first tournament for his disc golf group, indigo, west of stevens' point at north park of wood county. less stringent than pdga, we camped, there were kegs of beer and tons of hot food.
brad stemper drives in-between mark andrew's wisecracks
the big man proves it's not just muscle
dusty hanneman takes a practice throw at his own basket, which he had a running contest for someone to win. i hole-in-one'd it, which i guess i can count as my 5th ace. flubbed the next shot in the finals tho.
the prizes and the food
this guy threw lights-out all day to win the tourney
all cleaned up and ready to go
