Marana Rock in Tucson, 08.08.08


Hole 1 announces itself with its tee to the basket atop the mound. The photo kind of flattens out the shot, which sucks. If you miss right, welcome to the agua. Either way you'll almost certainly be putting uphill (and if you miss, welcome to the agua). Bitch ass.Didn't make it all the way up, so Jeff putts up at the basket on 8, which is perched on the edge of a bluff.

Putt uphill here. Don't fuckin' miss.

*


Jeff putting. See the disc about to chain. Nice shot.

*


My drive missed the basket but somehow ends up dry.

*


Teeing off on hole 8, a gorgeous hole, requiring probably a 380 foot shot to reach the green, or else you'll put up at it (or hose it in the trees or water or whatever).

*


The shot from below the basket.

The vista from the tee on hole 9. A brilliant hole with the water (which is played as incidental water, not requiring a penalty, since it's not typically there, though a tournament held out here would probably choose several holes to play with real water since the island greens etc. A 310 foot drive gets you putting. Sucks for a lefty though. Or you can try to skip it over (done that once).

*

Easier to play this time since I brought shoes to wade through the water. Jeff loses one disc. Ander loses one disc. My nice fat wraith. Sooner or later the water has to recede, though, right?
