TEAM DISCRAFT - TEAM GORILLA BOY - TEAM PARAGON
Ft. Steilacoom NT Practice!
I spent the weekend in Steilacoom, Washington visiting Stephanie's family. On Sunday my father in law, Steve, and I met up with local legend Chandler Fry to play Ft. Steilacoom and we were able to get all 36 holes in! Here is a simple hole by hole recap, enjoy!
NW
1. The pin was in a different position than what I played in the tournament last year. In comparison it is a tad longer and to the left. I threw an anhyzer Z Wasp (poorly) as my first drive out of the gate and bounced around the fairway and left myself about 60 feet away. I settled for a par.
2. Classic hole two at Steily fits well into my forehand Z Drone range and I landed pin high about 22 ft to the right. Birdie!
3. Check the vid: Hole 3 NW Ft. Steilacoom. I clipped the tree on the right and had to settle for a par.
4. I again threw the Z Wasp anhyzer with poor results - par.
5. One of the best par fours in the NW, hole 5 consists of hitting an initial gap with a right to left flying shot (Z Pred, nailed it) than having to follow up with a tunnel shot (Z Drone, also nailed it) to a tight green. Give me a tap in birdie please!
6. Breaker under the pin, birdie.
7. Forehand Z Pred into a jail approximately 50 ft short. Forehand layup with the Ringer for a tap in par.
8. Backhand Z Pred into the first tree...ouch. Backdoor forehand Z Hurricane that gets rejected resulting in a very rare thumbed flop shot for a tap in bogey.
9. Uphill right to left shot, parked with the Breaker for the second time of the round. Birdzee.
Front Nine recap: 3, 2, 3, 3, 3, 2, 3, 4, 2: 25 (-3)
10. Low forehand (Z Surge) that just barely got caught on the corner. Fluffed my 38 ft straddle jump putt - par
11. Deep gully shot - Z Drone flick, failed to convert the 28 ft putt - par
12. Z Tracker turnover into the "non-gap" and hope that it doesn't kick back into the wild. Mine didn't! Short chip shot up the hill for an easy birdie.
13. Did not committ to the turnover Z Drone and left myself stranded on the walkout about 40' above the pin. Par
14. Smooth forehand with the Z Surge that skipped down the hill. I tried a high release spin putt a la Doss style and came up just short and sadly rolled back to myself. Drilled it on take two! Par.
15. I drilled a low line drive with a Z Force and had a 90 ft chip shot to the pin for a tap in par.
16. One of the more fun downhill drives on the course, I threw a Z Pred to straight and long and wound up in the brush with a very small window of escape. I tossed a single pan hammer with the Ringer and scrapped a par. Chandler very kindly referred to me as a disc wizard - or dwizard as it was.
17. 465! I threw a tad low and was 60 ft short and right and did not hit the long deuce - sadly just a par on my favorite hole in Washington.
18. Forehand Z Surge under le pin for a round ending tap in bird.
Back Nine recap: 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2 (-2)
Total: 51 (-5)
SE
1. Anhyzer Z Force, chip shot with a Ringer, birdie 3.
2. Forehand Z Pred hit the corner tree and bounced back. Long putt with danger behind it was short - par.
3. Perfect Z Drone forehand for a gimme bird.
4. Very fortunate turnover Z Tracker that landed long of the pin. Clanked off the front rim for my first of several missed birdie putts of the round.
5. There are a few trees on this hole, I may have hit one or three of them. Bogey
6. Forehand Hurricane / Forehand Ringer / Clank / Bogey.
7. Excellent turnover down the hill with the Z Hurri that found the green and I finally made a birdie putt outside of 28 ft.
8. Forehand Z Surge, straddle putt off the rim...getting a bit tired of missing short putts. Mostly due to fatigue though, my shoulders were sore!
9. Breaker to the edge of the green on the left, hit a kneeling low ceiling deuce!
Front Nine recap: 3, 3, 2, 3, 4, 4, 2, 3, 2: 26 (-2)
10. I tried throwing the Meteor turnover shot up the hill but yanked it right and clipped a branch. Par
11. We played the traditional par four position since the temp basket with OB is not set up during non-tournament play. I hit the green in two and since Chandler and I were joking about missing putts I promptly missed mine and my comeback - bogey 5. Coolest thing about this hole was my tee shot - I flicked a First Run Z Crank about 390 ft with little effort!
12. Good drive and a better putt - birdie!
13. Easiest hole on both courses and I flubbed it short and doinked the putt.
14. Forehand Z Drone for a tap in bird.
15. Backhand Breaker for a tap in bird.
16. Flex Z Force and almost converted the jump putt for an eagle. Easy bird.
17. Backhand hyzer with a Z Force that settled nicely on the left side of the fairway. Sky cut roller with the Z Surge to about 50' short and left. Pulled the jump putt wide for my second eagle attempt in a row. Tap in birdie four.
18. Too low again! I've thrown this hole too low like every time. par finish.
Back Nine recap: 3, 5, 2, 3, 2, 2, 3, 4, 3: 27 (-4)
Total: 53 (-6)
Combined 104 (-11) on the day! Great times, thanks Chandler and Steve.
