Parker's Pasture! The 5th Best Course in Georgia! Can we break Par?

[@tossingplastic]

To be clear, there was A LOT of confusion with these T signs. My range finder showed different and will all of the recent backlash for pin placements being moved I was just confused!

[@youropionmattersnot]

My home course. I just started playing disc golf 3 years ago at the age of 55. Parker's pasture is not easy by any means but I became a pretty good player because of this course being challenging in every way. It's truly a beautiful layout and surprisingly right in the middle of downtown Covington, Georgia. Hole 12 should have gotten more attention. The approach of the short tee has an amazing view of the creek....that's not a river by any means. Woods on the left. Water on the right. Throwing downhill..... tight window. Put Parker's pasture on your disc golf travel list. Just 30 minutes away is the home course of the Robinson Brothers. Another great course.

[@tossingplastic]

This is a fantastic course to play regularly, your game will continue to improve!

[@user-dz6tx8tc1w]

Lol I'm great watching this. I love this challenge and it's a course that kicks your ass like a race track till you know the layout

[@tossingplastic]

Not for the faint of heart, that's for sure! Definitely a solid course.

[@bp5009]

Loved the hole 7 compilation of shots off the top band

[@tossingplastic]

Sometimes a putt takes focus!

[@KJisMyBoy]

Good advice for the wooded par 4s! Hit your gap, find the landing zone after you’ve played it once. More often than not people try to get cute trying to hit the optimal line. My home course Hobby Hill has some tricky par 4’s that kind of get in your head for trying to hit the perfect LZ. 9.2 is a hot score! Need to keep it in mind for a travel destination

[@tossingplastic]

Its a tip I learned early and am so glad for!

[@LukasPorter1]

You should visit heritage pines if you haven’t yet!!

[@tossingplastic]

Stay tuned! I just may have!

[@CarmaSAdams]

This one along with kudzu makes me want to head to Georgia! Parker’s is maybe my favorite GA course you’ve featured so far. Thank you for playing it!

[@michellesmith3657]

I really wanted it for the Piwakawaka😢. Thank you for finally sharing Craig's story.

[@tossingplastic]

It was long overdue!

[@jeffriemersma]

Watching this course just reminds me of michigan so bad.

[@tossingplastic]

Absolutely man! I miss it!

[@CarmaSAdams]

Craig is a hero

[@757discs]

Really like the video format

[@tossingplastic]

Thank you I'm glad to hear it! I put a lot of thought into making them.

[@757discs]

@ it shows!

[@wooky5461]

Beautiful par on hole 7

[@tossingplastic]

Thank you so much, even a bling squirrel finds a nut sometimes.

1. UDisc did an analysis of Maple Hill, and found that the most popular layouts were the two shortest of the six commonly available. Remember that the greens fee is the same regardless of layout. People could play the same version used for the DGPT event, but pick the par-3 courses, instead. Many disc golf course designers don’t understand this dichotomy. I’ve heard of a lot of new courses being designed for the long distance throwers, but they should not expect them to be as trafficked. Parker’s course owner could have simply bought new baskets for installing B positions where the new basket locations are, but that would have cost more up front money than what they did. 2. If you’re going through Cincinnati on the way back to Michigan, consider playing Idlewild on the trip. It’s a free course in a public park, not that long by modern standards, and very technical.

[@tossingplastic]

I agree! Short courses are always the most popular in a city from my experience! I will look into Idlewild!

[@user-dz6tx8tc1w]

Nice par 🙂

[@kevin9880]

So did you get any snow down where you are? I see Florida did but wasn't sure where all got hit. Gotta suck to be down south for the winter and have the winter follow you down. Lol. Stay warm!

[@brandongreen9381]

I drove through that storm from florida to north Carolina. It was wild. I heard florida got up to 10 inches . They will have it for awhile. Pretty sure the whole state of ga pretty much got snow.

[@kevin9880]

@brandongreen9381 so crazy. My aunt and uncle live there in the winter. Guess they didn't avoid the snow this year. 😂

[@tossingplastic]

Yes we absolutely got hammered as seen in my video from two Sundays ago. I actually filmed a snow round!

[@kevin9880]

@@tossingplastic dang I must've missed that video or thought it was an older video. I've been catching up on your old stuff as well so it's all blending together. Lol I'll go check it out.

[@felixgarcia9446]

😂😂😂 Craig story

[@tossingplastic]

It had to be told

[@gainstage4497]

With that opening putting montage, I thought I might’ve clicked on a Foundation video…

[@tossingplastic]

Haha just adding a little comedy!

[@user-dz6tx8tc1w]

Oh no . I'm 10%😅

[@johnwall1634]

It feels dumb to say that a course rated in the top 5 is underrated, but I really believe Parkers still doesn't get enough love. Hole 3 is so iconic. I had heard they moved the baskets back to the OG layout in the last couple weeks. Was this filmed recently?

[@tossingplastic]

It was filmed about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Idk man I could not figure it out. Some numbers were not adding up or agreeing with my range finder. Idk what layout i played to be honest haha

[@gregreece2826]

My home course was expanded as well by a few mpo players who win money each week in dubs and mini tournaments. Competition got tighter and bam!! Longer holes.

[@tossingplastic]

It is interesting how they can expand for the select few!

[@michaelrichards2634]

Good job! And as a local, we do enjoy the original basket positions, but we get bored easily and like to spice it up a bit.

[@tossingplastic]

For the regulars that makes sense!

[@user-dz6tx8tc1w]

My rhyno is the disc of the yr .. I found two ranchos in champion

[@tossingplastic]

Oh yea, absolute work horse

[@user-dz6tx8tc1w]

@@tossingplastic you tossed it first I said I liked my pig

[@mikebeireis3990]

Can the baskets never be moved back to their original positions ever??? I like when courses have multiple Pin locations. Then you can mix it up and keep it interesting. Maybe just Need some new signs to Update the situation

[@tossingplastic]

Yea, I think locals do not like change! I love different pins but t signs showing both I think are needed with the change!

[@mikebeireis3990]

If it ain't broke don't fix it! I love when a course not only has multiple pins but also a basket in each location. I also think it's cool to take a classic hole and lengthen it if even possible and make it truly one stroke more difficult! Options are cool

[@mikebeireis3990]

ALSO! Thanks you for bringing us along on your journey and showcasing some amazing courses! Lookin forward to an ace soon!

[@kevin9880]

Did Craig play stripe from gremlins? The main bad guy. Lol.

[@tossingplastic]

I don't know how he did it but he played all of the gremlins.

[@user-dz6tx8tc1w]

You need to discover the TRACE PROTON

[@tossingplastic]

I haven't tried it yet. Do you bag one?

[@user-dz6tx8tc1w]

@tossingplastic Yes. My Go to mid Season last yr

[@user-dz6tx8tc1w]

@tossingplastic new bag is Envy Rhyno Parachute Malta or PYRO Tbird Ballista chameleon Trace / Thunderbird

[@mcctigerfan]

Heartbreak at basket 16! That rollaway was brutal. Can you remember your most disappointing rollaway?

[@tossingplastic]

Hummmmmm I've had some bad ones but none that stick out singularly! Burde Ridge had a bad one under the wire fence I looked for forever lol

[@alanlundberg4534]

Based on all of the reports, I would have expected this round to have been in 5" of snow.

[@tossingplastic]

I avoided it for this round thankfully!

[@pwhitworth]

I play this course - and as an over 65 player, the new baskets are not to my liking. I agree with other folks. The views are outstanding though, and still a fun place to play. What I hope will happen is a few of these longer holes will be sprinkled into the OG layout.

[@tossingplastic]

I think with the public response, they will have to find a middle ground !

[@user-dz6tx8tc1w]

Moe is also Craig

[@tossingplastic]

Definitely a possibility haha

[@user-dz6tx8tc1w]

T pads need to be correct . That's how you read the shot

[@tossingplastic]

I agree 100%

[@MA4King]

I'll say it again... "The Tracks" in McDonough is a better course and should be a top 5 for sure.

[@tossingplastic]

I understand! Unfortunately I can't film every course in an area! I hit the course people reach out to on ahead of time!

[@kevin9880]

Trash on the course is my biggest pet peave. I thought disc golfers were all hippy type people that cared about the environment? 🤷😂 It's hard to say if they would be mad or not if you drug them out or not.

[@tossingplastic]

I heard that the club had already pulled them out once and somehow they ended up back in there. There's more than just disc golfers at Parker's Pasture.

[@kevin9880]

@tossingplastic yeah I believe most of the trash is gonna end up there no matter what we do. Some people are just trash. Good on you for picking up trash when you can tho. I try to do the same.

[@kens1776]

Pull them

[@rickvervoort9536]

You will never break par with that many "mulligan' misses.

Sheesh can't even make a joke these days haha

[@alanlundberg4534]

Funny stuff!​@@tossingplastic

[@alanlundberg4534]

I know it's not healthy, but you may have caused some sympathy to flow Craig's way.

[@tossingplastic]

Although Craig definitely needs it, he does not know the internet exists.
