Re:Aptos High course - 2008/04/20 18:14
Hi All,
I had a little bit of free time today between kids' soccer, and played the course. To get information about pin and tee placement, go to:
http://www.aptoshs.net/students/clubs/frolf/index.shtml
Kiv was there, so I tagged along with him, otherwise I would have been lost. I did not have a map or hole directions (see link above), and if you go there without those, save yourself some time and look for someone else already playing and tag along.
Here are my impressions having played it once through, on a moderately windy day:
--good use of the land that's available, with plenty of different shots, including up and down steep slopes, sides of hills, tunnel shots, etc.
--relatively short lengths, but the wind can take errant shots into bad places
--still tall grass and vegetation, but once that is gone/trampled, it will be easy to follow the flow of the course and see all of the pins (most are visible from the tee).
--I think there are options to lengthen the holes with alternative tee placement, but that's for later
--I shot -4 with two bogeys (on short holes, hello wind!). I fully expect to shoot at least -6 my next visit, and possibly lower. There are plenty of birdie opportunities, and on a calm day, watch out!
Kudos to Jake and the rest of his crew! I love having another option, and one that is so close to my home!
Cheers,
Steve
