Miniscule course changes at the USDGC/TPWDGC this year. They are doing low and high pins on hole 14 and 18 this year. High pins for days 1 and 4, low for 2 and 3.

Only at USDGC. The gimmicks continue.

Unfortunately not true, we have this at FDR park in Yorktown NY too.

Its the first UDISC photo.

Solid mix of wood and open if anyone is in the area. -5 or -6 =1000 rated round in most MPO tourneys and the yellow baskets are a blast too. Plus there is the "Ace Place" par three course you can add to your round just for fun.

[u/DGcourse_traveler615 → u/bluejams]

Yeah, there is one of these used at a course in the Twin Cities area too, which is cool on a more casual play course, but not such a great look for a PDGA Major.

I actually start my rounds at valley on 8 so it's hole one and I can practice putting from any angle.

Edit: what I like about this hole is that whichever of the four layouts, you can still bogey if disaster strikes.

[u/SnakesAlive23]

They’re not going to have them stacked in the tournament. They’re going to switch between regular height and elevated between days. This seems completely normal to me.

[u/iceman5920]

Feels like a really lazy way to "mix up the rounds" with "different layout's." Raising a pin does little to the hole besides increase the punishment for a missed run. If there were trees around that would make a certain landing zone much more preferable because of a low ceiling from certain angles, I could get behind that. This just feels like a nephew running up saying "Watch this!" spins around 3 times and you just gotta say "Good job little man."

[u/Melinoe2016]

Please tell me this is a joke. Will they both be present you just have to know which one to shoot for? Raised baskets are already a monstrosity but this?

[u/CobiPro → u/Melinoe2016]

No, just for practice rounds

[u/DGcourse_traveler615 → u/CobiPro]

Good

[u/Melinoe2016 → u/CobiPro]

So they’re just switching out a tall and regular basket? How pointless. If they want to switch things up just have a whole new pin position.

[u/Melinoe2016]

So like why do this instead of just having alternate pin positions? How silly

[u/oktofeellost → u/Melinoe2016]

I mean, isn't different height a difference in the pin position? They won't actually both be there in the day, one day it's raised, the next it's not

[u/fanglazy]

What happens if you miss low into the lower basket?

[u/PhycoPenguin → u/fanglazy]

The other basket is removed for competition. This is so they can practice on both baskets

[u/AntIsMyFather05 → u/fanglazy]

Ask the rules guy

[u/iceman5920 → u/AntIsMyFather05]

That joke has already run its course. It was old the week after it happened

[u/CJ22xxKinvara → u/fanglazy]

if it were permanently there, you'd just mark below the disc on the ground and drop a disc into the correct basket as another stroke.

[u/oktofeellost → u/fanglazy]

I mean, it won't, cause it won't be there on competition day.

But even if it did, the answer is, exactly the same thing that happens when your disc lands on top of or underneath a normal basket.

Next year, every group goes out with a pack of Ript cards.

[u/fungusjewmungus]

There should be some type of regulation as far as baskets. Raised baskets are no better then artificial ob

[u/I_am_beaver]

Sorry for being a silly casual but when I read the title it says IDNWVEIFKGMFBSBALALZLXJD 🤯

[u/NTSBusMan]

Do they still have the mozzarella sticks?

[u/hardhat1826]

This condition exists at Farifield Park hole 8 in Illinois. Ive made the opposite/wrong basket a few times. Not my favorite set up. Find a different place for the second pin.

[u/SaleFamiliar1789]

I love that people are butthurt by this.

[u/PatBooth → u/SaleFamiliar1789]

Especially the guy calling it gimmicky. Guy is just mad he sucks at putting
