Cookie Classic
Round 2, Sun Nov 8: Yang layout = East 18, par 60, 7,495 ft. Start on hole 9 at 2:00 pm. Mandos on 1 (right of the marked tree), 6 (left of the marked tree) and 9 (double). Hole 16 is an island hole.
Event rules: greens and bunkers are OB. The cement cart path is a river hazard: mark the disc where it lies and add a stroke. On some holes the path is OB, and everything beyond it.
Sat Nov 7: E 13 mph, gusts to 22 from 2 to 5 pm, easing to E 8-9 by 6 pm.
Sun Nov 8: E 9-11 mph, gusts 20-21 from noon to 5 pm.

Wind swap rules
- Into youLight: normal discs, low and flat, except Catalyst → Photon FH. Strong: Catalyst → Photon FH. Hex, Servo or Trail → Balance BH. Control → Fireball FH. Ascend → Control FH. Stasis → Entropy. Plays longer.
- Windy dayGusts of 18 or 13 mph, into you or from your left: Photon → Wrath FH. Strong: Fireball FH into you, Control FH from your left. Locked West plans stay as they are.
- At your backCatalyst and Ascend shine. Discs fade sooner, so keep the normal disc on straight shots and land short. Plays shorter.
- From rightLifts backhands (more turn, more float), so keep them low. Catalyst → Photon FH. Forehands get knocked down. It drifts left: allow for it, but never start it toward trouble.
- From leftKnocks backhands down (early fade). Forehands lift, so keep forehands low with extra hyzer. It drifts right, more than it fades: allow for it, but never start it toward trouble.
- Trees in the wayThe gap comes first, then the wind. Tree right, close to the tee: backhand (a forehand comes off your right side). Tree left: forehand. Low branches: Hex or Servo, low and flat, and take less distance.
- AnglesFlat is level. Slight hyzer is about 10°: the edge away from your hand is just visibly lower. Hyzer is about 25°, roughly a quarter of the way to vertical. Anhyzer is the same amount the other way. When in doubt, throw it flat.
- Release angleInto the wind, add hyzer and keep it low; it exaggerates any anhyzer. Downwind, flatten out and launch higher. Wind that lifts your throw (right for BH, left for FH) gets more hyzer; wind that knocks it down gets flatter.
- Any windPutt with the Jawbreaker Challenger; the Focus is for calm days.
- Strong, any way Approach with the Stasis, flat and nose down; the Entropy only straight into a strong headwind. Lay up near OB.
The 13 in the Lore
Plays-like distances are rough estimates. Course data and safe spots from the UDisc map and satellite view. Lots of OB on cart paths, bunkers and greens; confirm which at the players' meeting.
