To begin with, here is an overall map of the course. Hole number one is at the end of the parking lot just down from the swimming
pool.

Chickasaw Disc Golf Trail Hole # 1
|
|
|
Hole #1 has multiple tee boxes, ORANGE and GREEN. The ORANGE tee is at the end of the parking lot, with a distance of 225
feet, and the GREEN tee is on the end of the island in the middle of the parking lot and is 265 feet from the pin.
Both shots are a nice turnovers for a right handed player, or just snap a little forearm shot down there for your birdie.
If you want to be in the running, this is a "must have" birdie. Just look out for the overgrowth right at the
end, it foils a lot of nice shots!
This hole also has a GREEN - Long Tee

Hole # 2
|
|
|
Hole #2 has only one tee box, but it has two pin placements! One is to the left at 172 feet, and one to the right at 185 feet.
But that is not the problem!
You have to get past that double-trunk tree right smack dab in the middle of the fairway.
And believe me, it takes a lot of punishment, not to mention what it does to your discs!
And don't forget, left or
right of the fairway gets you in trouble REAL FAST!

Hole # 4
|
Hole #3 is a tough little 255 foot shot with just the slightest hook to the right on the end! If you end up short, you could
be in a bad way.
If you are a little right, it usually works out pretty good, there is a bank behind the basket so you can really drill
them without fear of a long putt back.
Basically it's just a straight shot to the basket, with just a few obstacles in the way. Early wood can spell DOUBLE BOGIE!
We are planning an alternate pin position about 50 feet longer with a slight turn to the left. A nice straight shot with
just a little fade should be a deuce on most days.

Hole # 1
Hole #4 is one of my favorites, at least it has since I started getting my forehand shot to work. It is a 200 foot anhyser
that you have to get JUST RIGHT or you could be in trouble.
WHAT TREE!!!!
This is where Bear Creek comes
into play on the right side of the fairway. On that second shot, when you REALLY want to get it up there for par. I have seen
a San Marino ROC disappear here!
One golfer was in a bad way on the right side of the fairway and asked what to do!
Robert told him to "pick your favorite disc and throw it as hard as you can!" Which he did. . . straight into Bear
Creek. As he worked his way back out of the jungle he was heard to say "I would rather have lost my wife that my San
Marion ROC!"

Hole # 5
Hole #5 is a wicked little hole! At ONLY 154 feet, it has seen its fair share of double bogies! Especially in the spring,
during the rainy season. When the water is up, you can hear it running through the twenty foot deep ravine to your right.
You DON"T EVEN want to go there!
First you have to get past the Sentinels! A twelve foot gap about forty feet
out that have caused a lot of in flight corrections, and not all of them good! You can ask Robert about his favorite Aviar,
may it rest in pieces. . .
I haven't a clue how they do it, but it has been aced several times with a tomahawk!

Hole # 6
|
|
|
Hole #6 is another challenging hole. Here, again, you have to get past the Sentries. As you cross the bridge, look at the
punishment they have taken, and know they given as much as they got!
At only 200 feet, it's not far, it's just finding
the right path. A nice turnover or a good forehand can get you close, but you never see the trees at the very end! And they
stop a lot of deuces!

Chickasaw Disc Golf Trail Hole A
|
|
|
Hole A has recently become one of my favorites. It's pretty tricky, with a DEEP hyzer with something very over stable. Lots
of little bitty trees in ALL the wrong places.
A low skip shot is the ticket on this one! That skip puts the extra
spin to turn that disc right up to the basket for a drop-in deuce! Try it sometime, see if you don't agree!

Hole B
|
|
|
Hole B gives you two choices, straight at it and a hyser shot around the trees, both meet with about the same degree of success!
You
would think that, at only 135 feet, it would just be an easy toss! Think again! This is another one of the "must have"
deuces if you want to get on the top card!
Keep yours eyes open, we have seen deer traveling through this area many
times. If you don't make any big noises, they may just meander on by after a few minutes. Theres just something about a nice
day in the park!

Hole # 7
Hole # 7 is usually the bottleneck in any tournament. It's 300 feet in the short position, I guess it's that hard right down
there about 150 feet that gets them!
In the spring, there is a BIG, and I do mean BIG turnover shot that can get
you up there. But once the trees start getting some leaves on them, it closes up big time!
The safe par is down to
the corner, a good upshot, and in for par. The birdie is a rare thing on this hole. As a matter of fact, if you par it you
will probably move up in the box!
There is a nice forehand shot, right down the middle, just get around that BIG
tree. Give it enough air to turn into the fairway. If you shank it or put too much sauce on it. . bye bye birdie & pray
for par!

Hole # 8
Hole 8 is another sweet hole. A nice turnover or forehand shot gets there every time. . ALMOST! It's only 165 feet to the
pin, and it is hard to believe how easy it is to miss that great big fairway!
In the spring you don't want to throw
long because there is usually water standing twenty feet of so past the basket! They didn't put that Big Heavy Gator Bridge
there for nuthin'!
The blue tee, about 50 feet further back in a whole 'other story. You have the same basic shot,
it just starts out REAL tight. We usually only get this one cleaned up for the Pros during tournament play.

Hole # 9
|
|
|
Hole #9 is your typical "Grip-it and Rip-it ace run baby! At 193 feet you just have to throw it right down the middle
and wait for chain!
It's funny how big that little tree down there looks when your disc decides to totally change
course on you!
A great ROC hole!
At our 99 Spring tourney, there was not one square inch of fairway that
was not underwater, even the Tee Box!
And Gary Wagoner, current Memphis Disc Golf Club Prez set a new course record
of 12 under par. I have a picture around here somewhere of him on Hole 10 in his "squall" gear. Gary is a sailor
too, and came prepared.
