Medium breezes defined the morning round.
I provide for your viewing pleasure a Disc Golf course map for Pioneer Park Winter course map. Just the basics for all the newbies who are confused by the course having NO signage or teepads. I see a plethora of tee positions being used out there in the wild by this in the know.
I rendered the background in Google Earth then marked up w/ GIMP.

My thoughts on playing Hole 2 at Lunchtime DCG in Portland, Oregon.
This hole plays across a fairly steep hillside with the uphill on your right. The tee is at the bottom and the shot requires you to gain roughly 40ft of elevation to reach the baskets. There is an OB road long left at the bottom of the hill, that usually only comes into play from long skipping hyzers or horrible rollouts. There is also an OB parking lot over the crest of the hill, but you should never be shanking that hard.
Today on Pioneer Park Winter course w/ mild winds. I hit the course late moving fast so as to make the corner before the teens gathered on #7 and #8 for the lunch/smoke break from the high school.
My thoughts on playing Hole 1 at Lunchtime DCG in Portland, Oregon.
This is one of the shorter holes on the course, but also one of the most variable because of the wind, OB, and rollaway green. There is OB parking lot along the beginning of the right side and OB long left across a fence line, making for a tight early fairway. This hole usually has a strong headwind blowing up the face of the hill.
