Agreed. The changes are great. 12 is one of the best golf holes I have ever played.

What were the thoughts on the baskets on the picnic tables? Saw Old Man hit one from downtown.
(Nice round, Old Man) |

It forced my team to adopt a strategy that someone lays it up and someone goes for it.
Very risk/reward.

Thx bud.
I like the danger of the elevated baskets just because of the risk of the missed comeback putt if u missed the first putt. What I didn't like was using the rule of verticality when caught in a PTB cuz those tables are frikkin slippy! Better to have casual relief I would think. |

Being "that kind" is simply not in my nature... |

Those baskets are already very small. I thought it was an interesting touch, but actually took a great deal of aggression out of putting. Soft floaty putts.
It was definitely thinking time if player 1 blew by. Almost completely eliminated going for it. Even the lay ups were tough
I liked it for that event but wouldn't like it in any sort of permanent setting.

In general, one of the criticisms directed at disc golf, especially for the top pros, is that the putting is too easy.
I've noticed a growing trend at tournaments to include elevated baskets. Some courses even have permanent long poles for a few baskets. |

Thanks to Beny for helping me setup the VMP course on Sat.
And thanks to everyone who brought back the baskets and flags afterwards.

This makes for the cheap equivalent of a steep green in my honest opinion. Would you bang a put down a steep slope in bolf or make a reasonable lag putt?
The inverse proportionality of the situation is a bit ironic. |

Heavy on the cheap. Elevated baskets are not my preference at all. They force a really strange putting stroke. It is very different than being up hill or downhill. At least on a steep green you can putt aggressively up hill and smooth with lots of spin downhill.
If we went back to VMP it would be interesting to see the scoring spread with the baskets on the ground

Cheap as in $$$.
Steep in bolf comes in many flavours. Call it risk / reward or even margin of error driven.
This is why putting in Pineview or Agusta are considerably different over equal elevation. In frolf there is little "grooming" that can be done to achieve the equivalent variables.
It's actually cool as it's different then a true up or downhill frold putt. A third option for design and arguably the only option when it is flat. |

I don't agree. Good pin placement on the green is a far better way to increase risk / reward.
You should have come out to VMP and tried them out. Those cloth baskets are very small and adding difficulty to them was novel, but not much fun (MY OPINION).

I can't say introducing 2 difficulties on a green is better. I wasn't basing what I had to say about elevated baskets on VMP layout.
On a flat wide open hole, say like 17 at Ettyville, it works to create the effect of an elevated green on your approach shot and putt. Most cost efficient way to do that. Would I do that on 18 holes? Never. |
