WA Team DG: Week 3 (Kitsap Fairgrounds)

[Rolly]

No rain was the best win of the day.

Hole #17- Too easy par 4, too hard birdie 2. I didn't like the teebox location, only because you were throwing into some danger having the trail to the left. Overall it was fun, and fits in with the rest of the course.

Hole #18- Nice touch to the hole. Some might say it's a "more luck, than skill shot". Personally I would like to see it stretched around further back, if creative with the pin location it could be a finishing par 4.

Hole 17. I like the tee location, but the gaps into the woods need to be a little wider and the mature trees need to be limbed up higher. The downside of the tee location is the errant throws that end up to far left and encroach the fairway of Hole 7. A 2 on the hole would be an eagle, if you care about what par is. Give me a few weeks and I'll crunch the numbers and show you the individual hole stats for the TDG Fairground Event.

Hole 18. The Holly tree in the center of the fairway could be trimmed a little to allow the appearance of a bigger gap to hit. A reasonable gap is there, it just doesn't look like it from the tee. The shot off the tee is an S-turn throw for either a Righty or Lefty. Aim for the Holly tree and the let the disc turn before the Holly and flex back. The clean line is the Lefty route, but the Righty line will get you a putt.

Rolly,
A deeper pin placement would be great, but the basket placement needs the buffer from the road for multiple reasons. There is room to move it deeper and more right, but I don't see that as an option for several years. IMHO, A finishing hole should have the potential for a birdie to make up a throw on the field (x.8 score average).

i think 18 is good
17 just needs a little more clearing, on the right side, as you get farther into the woods
it looked pretty tough to get through, up higher on the hill

Great day.......rain stayed away.

I only played one round, but walked the first.

Hole 17 - seems to be a good par 4 and should be hit 90% of the time. Yes, the opening is very tight and i found that going through the original opening was the best with a slight turnover shot that i did manage to hit and get the three. I understand that i may not get that lucky next time, but when you are tied on the last hole and its hole 17 ........i had to step up.

Hole 18 - of course i liked the shorter placement cause i was just starting to birdie it alot. The further placement is good and a challenge for sure. I agree with rolly and in the future move it back further for a par 4.

Oh, my apologizes on the first round when walking with my son when he was playing........we were the reason for running late and i will make sure that is not to happen again.

OK. I finally got around to crunching the numbers for the hole scores from the TDG event at the Fairgrounds course.

See the attached PDF file.

I seperated the data into three skill sets. (Average player, Advanced, Top pro)

It is very interesting to see how the three skill sets have different hole difficulty ranks.

The data shows the score percentages on each hole. You will be surprised at some of the results.

It looks like 17 plays as a true par 4 from the long pad.

Nice work Sammy! (And thanks for being such a numbers geek!)
