Patapsco Park: Hole 12

I as well, had Saturday plans for Codorus State Park in PA. Bypassing this plan Patapsco was the bad weather fall-out; 2nd choice. I was skeptical of the forecast from hearing it would rain through the first Tuesday of May.

Scores carried closer to par, more so in the 6 holes over 400 feet. Finesse; let me tell you about some disgruntle finesse starting with 6 guys drinking their laughter down as my company tried to get a visual on the pin. Over the hill through the joke I'm not gonna finish my disc landed. Tree after tree my disgust turned into appreciation for a true stumper, or maybe I should also work on my roller game.  I don't remember this exact pin number out of the several pins requiring finesse; no bother, you'll know when your there. Skill shots were sadly the least of worries.
 
The biggest hurdle seemed to be the worn red tees frustrating to the point of 2nd course regret. Liking the course very much, except for noted reason, I'll enjoy a future round from the less traveled tees. The blue tees offer a different line challenging our skills from a further set position. The stalling power, finesse and patience may exaggerate my score.

In the above picture you will see the by-passed tee blocks. No one wanted to sprain an ankle from planting their foot in a divot accentuating  the release point; hence the use of future blue tee use.

The course carried the light hearted park feel all the way through the $2 per person admitence fee; park wide. Plenty of fun, challenge, and community activity fill this park. I am left with one question: How was codoreus  Park. A report was proposed.




Had to post one more of my photos.
Thanks for humoring me.

How to
POSTED April 9, 12:13 AM
By now you have seen a few blog entries. You have seen the beginning- where it all started. Don't be weary there are more in-depth topics for discussions to come. I am in the process of fine-tuning things.

The Pro plastic Wraith has done well for me. I have gotten great use of this disc. A little higher in weight with a great glide, I can really crank this disc out there. The "S" curve, though a little shaky at times, has helped me out tremendously. Druid Hill has housed a great deal of Wraith Hucks gliding through the course's slight to moderate twists and turns.

I do have to admit being in the process of stepping up to the full spectrum of discs. I have been using mostly NOVA discs, grabbing a few discs here and there with nice perks; oddities to them.

What discs are you using? Do you know why you are using those discs or did you just grab the Sports Authority Starter 3 pack? Send in some questions on your discs. You might be using a disk for one thing that someone else is using completely different.

Here is a topic you can really get into. Even with minor experience you can shine or learn how to throw those pieces of plastic you are carrying around while drinking beer.
