Pitch and Putt and Soul Crusher courses

Pitch and Putt and Soul Crusher courses are two extremely different type of courses described in the Disc Golf Family blog post 32 where they defend the concept of Pitch and Putt courses.

To put it simply a Pitch and Putt course is where all holes are fairly easy par 3s with distance from teepad to basket not exceeding 300 yards or so. Courses like this are usually way too easy for most seasoned veterans of the sport as they can probably deuce, if not ace, almost every hole.

In the immediate Quad Cities we have one Pitch and Putt course, Slattery Park in Davenport, IA. It's a six hole course and not one hole is over 300 feet or not by much if it is. I still don't get 3s on every hole. (Still learning.)

Camden 2 is on the other extreme not quite the "soul crusher" course described in the Disc Golf Family blog but it is one of the more difficult courses in the area as well as one of the most beautiful. Almost all 18 holes are in wooded ravines with a creek that runs through it with that I inevitably end up in at one point or the other. The creek can be challenging to get down to the bottom of if I throw my disc in it as it's more of a chasm at one end and at the other end, I've been up over my knees in sandy, mucky sludge wondering if I was going to be able to get out! All of that experience part of this great, beautiful course designed (I believe) by Pro Disc Golfer on the Innova Ambassadors team, Chris Sprague.

We're really blessed by the 12 courses within our immediate Quad Cities community as well as the variety and quality of player community, not only in their play quality but they're generosity and willingness to share.
