Quick question for all you Adler players

[discnewbie]

 First I was wondering about the best shot doubles.  Are your partners randomly chosen?    Also, when does the fall league start if you have one?


  My second question is more complicated so I'll try to make sense.   I'm trying to gauge my drive distance and since I don't have a tape measure that goes all the way down the fairway of hole 7, I was wondering if you could give me some help!   I can throw my Champ Orc most throws in the center of the newly planted grass before the hill
(I'm still amazed a parent has not complained about the shape) so how far would you say that is from the pad?   Now granted the hole is 380 feet so hopefully that helps.


Anyway, hope to see you all next doubles!

The hole is downhill and plays like less than 380 feet.  Off the top of my head that grass seems like a 250 foot shot.

Measure your pace.  Take 5 or 10 paces and see how far it is.  The average is your pace. I have short legs and mine is 2.5 ft.  That shot of yours will take me 100 paces.  Now you can just pace off your shots for a pretty good rough estimate of your distance.

Also I have heard of people using the satellite feature on Google maps and going to the hole where they threw then using the scale at the bottom of the map and measuring it out by printing it out and marking of the scale to where there disc landed on the map with a ruler.

Im sure you have a football field by you?? Tee off from the end zone mark your lie, then do some math. That's what my disc golf instructor had me do.

Good idea except the only place that has a field marked is the high school and they don't allow the public to use it

Google Earth has a ruler feature that can measure feet.  I planned out my own little course using a temp basket in a field by my house using it.  If you really want to measure your distance, find an open area with two objects that you can easily see on google earth (I use two light poles on a football field, also use yard markers for quick reference).  That should make it easier to measure.
