Why Have I Never Heard About This Course?! (Ogeechee Crossing DiscGolfPark)

In my recent Georgia trip, I stopped by a highly rate Ogeechee Crossing DiscGolfPark and was completely blown away! 😱
Even me playing the long layoutand being stretched in every area 💪
If you have a day, get out there and enjoy your game get challenged to its breaking point! 🏋️

The definition of a great disc golfer- when all the miss throws and all your seemingly bad shots turn out really good! Outside of a few putts you missed, that I know YOU can make, and 2-3 tree hits that made a long hole longer, you can walk away, drive home 3 hours knowing you conquered that course 1st time!

Bro you are crazy!!!

3:45 haha, that’s the worst part about getting an ace while making a video. It’s hard to continue. Nice ace!

[@thediscgolfpastor]

It was VERY hard. I still had 16 holes to film 😅

Nice ace!! 🔥💥🔥

[@thediscgolfpastor]

THANKS! 🙏

[@greg_loper]

Yep!

[@andyf4152]

Nice ace! I just got my first Ace, July 3rd, hole 3 Dacusville, on day 569 of of playing disc golf. I’m thankful I had a witness and so glad I got to see the whole flight!. Would love to play a round one day. I’m right behind grand central, but play all over!

[@thediscgolfpastor]

Dacusville is my home course! I’m 5 minutes from there

[@andyf4152]

@@thediscgolfpastor I’m ready to get back there and play for sure

@@thediscgolfpastor well it looked like a great course, I am going to try to check it out while I am still in Georgia for the next week, hopefully I can do as well as you did

[@ajrains4225]

[@thediscgolfpastor]

Thanks brother 🙏

[@ogdiscgolfer]

I stumbled across the gem of a course last year and I tell everyone I know to check it out if they are in the area. Congrats on the Ace!!!!

[@thediscgolfpastor]

Thanks so much! I watch your videos all the time ❤️

[@ogdiscgolfer]

It was nice to see that restrooms and gazebo? finished... when I came through it was just a bunch of bricks. Where are you located... I think you mentioned it, but then I got distracted by the wind. :D

[@thediscgolfpastor]

@ogdiscgolfer I’m from Greenville, South Carolina. I was only in the Augusta area that weekend collaborating with Disc Respect, a KZbinr from Jacksonville.

[@ogdiscgolfer]

Gotcha... I grew up in Augusta, my mom is from Williston, SC. I was headed back to Birmingham from Augusta when I buddy told be about Ogeechee... so glad he did. I am sure we will cross paths someday. -Cheers!

UDisc doesn't say, but I would bet confidently that course is a John Houk design. I've played several and actually live 2 miles from one that I play 4-6 times a week. (The Admiral Semmes, AL) It's too lengthy a list for this comment, but almost everything I saw in this video - the lines, their layout, the # of par3,4,5 holes and how their ordered, clean professional signage, etc. Also, he loves to shape fairways with double tree groupings - one big one small or one normal and the other being twisted or really bowed. I saw pair after pair of trees placed and functioning exactly the way he does it. I really want to find out if I'm right about who designed that course. What gives me the most confidence about saying it's a Houk design, is your reaction and opinion of it. I have heard a great many people describe their blind playthrough experience of a Houk course just like you. Like I said I play one damn near daily and there's another in New Orleans about 2 hours from me that is visually mind blowing that I play 2-4 times each year. If it a'int a Houk designed course, then whoever did design it... uh copied his notes apparently

[@thediscgolfpastor]

You peaked my interest on this so I did some digging. It looks like a guy named Henry Hamilton designed it. He’s located about an hour from the course in Aiken, SC

[@thediscgolfpastor]

Not sure if he has any connections with Houck but I bet there was some consultation involved in there somewhere since Houck designed IDGC which isn’t that far from Ogeechee!

[@misterbean4125]

Nice ace!! Any tips for beginners trying to keep their nose down?

[@thediscgolfpastor]

Great question! For me, it’s all about the grip and the motion. For grip, pretend like you are pouring yourself a cup of coffee with the wrist down. Go slow in your run up and watch your grip and wrist angle all the way through (filming yourself helps a lot with this too!) For motion, make sure that aren’t reaching down when you reach back. If you reach straight back in the run up, your arm will go straight when you pull through. Overthrow disc golf has a great video to help with avoiding nose up throws!
