Disc Golf in America - Manhattan Beach, CA - Polliwog Park DGC |
|
|
I took in Polliwog Park DGC just before Easter 2007 or if your Jewish I was there the week of Passover. Pablo and Earl stayed home while I took in So. Cal Han Solo.
You might think I had a nice piece of tail feather waiting for me. WRONG, I play disc golf what do you think. I got to play with a cat named Rick Wolff who was my chauffer for the week.
The Wolff drives a crappy four on the floor pick up truck. It's the kind of little truck if new would attacked butch lesbians. It's a sad state of affairs when a person drives a cruddy truck and the local hoods cause them to use the club to lock your steering wheel. Enough about my chauffer.
During this week Polliwog was my home course and I played it about 6 times.
Directions: I-405; Rosecrans Ave. exit and go right (west), turn left (south) on Aviation Blvd., then right on Manhattan Beach Blvd., 3 blocks to the park on the right.
I have no idea if these directions are any good. That whole So. Cal thing is too crowded for me and Polliwog is a good example of that.
The one thing to remember is if you come from the east turn right before the park. The first tee box (if you can call it that) is in the corner of the park next to a school. The tee markers are painted on the side walk which makes you walk around the whole time staring at the ground. There is a map posted on the west side of the bathrooms but not a map you can take with you. Which at times made me run back an forth looking for the tee boxes.
Minnesotan call a disc golfer a discer, Wisconsin people call them Frolfers (Frisbee Golfers) and in So Cal they play Safari. The definition of Safari is if you and your fellow disc throwers don't like the challenge of a hole you agree to move to a different spot. At Polliwog some one has put white tape on the side walk around the course. This was very confusing for a fella who had never heard of Safari Disc Golf. I do see it's overall value but is confusing at first.
It may be hard to rip on this course too much because the flora is totally foreign to me and I was only able to take in Polliwog and La Mirada while in So. Cal.
Description: Short, but has some unofficial long tees. Some holes have trees and obstacles - others are wide open. Avoid the crowded weekends. Parks Dept. (310) 802-5435.
This may be the best general description of a Disc Park yet. Dodging mommies in strollers, wedding partes having pictures taken in the park and hunting for the tee boxes were at time a pain. On the upside, Midwestern chubby guys aren't used to seeing hot skinny Mexican American chicks.
All tee boxes are side walks.
Hole one and two are holes with trees arranged like a like a pinball machine. Hole one a little more so.
Hole two is near the bathrooms and a map of the course is located on the other side.
Hole three can be a major nuisance. The tee box is located on the sidewalk by the pond but before the bridge. Unfortunatly the cruddy duck pond is where people like to get their pictures taken.
If pictures are not going on the throw is up a hill and somewhat over a terraced area where people sometimes like to sit. Basically what you have is flat area for concerts or what ever and terraced grassy shelves for people to sit on while watching the crappy entertainment. An errant throw can smoke some chick sitting by a stroller or your can mess up your disc by hitting one of the landscaped terrace walls. You can find two pictures of the hole from the top of the hole facing the tee box an: www.southbaydiscgolf.org .
Hole four is not properly marked on the map and difficult to find. It's on the asphalt path up near the entrance to the garden. The throw next holes are really more camando that safarri. When you throw over paths, near gazebo's and pickick areas you are located in a crowded metropolitan area.
Hole Five and seven are located up by the gazebo and you have to make sure you are throwing from the correst spot. With the safari tape you have four locations to be confuse you.
Hole five is a downward throw back towards another gazebo and somewhat near the posted map of the course.
Hole six takes you back up the hill with little to hit.
Hole seven is a downward version of hole six with the same trees as distractions.
Then there is hole eight. The safari guys put tape on the side walk near the cross walk. You are forced to make a low throw over landscaping and try not to hit the house located in the park. I almost took out the corner window during one of my rounds. This hole also introduced to baseballs. A fair amount of So. Cal discers carry baseballs in their bags. Many trees are have dense folliage and they don't like to give up the discs.
We used a shoe the first time. The Wolff told me people usually carry baseballs and I thought he was full of shit. Later that week I discovered it was true.
The original tee box for hole eight is further down the path near a garbage can. A lot of parks put garbage cans near tee bosex which helps in locating them. This tee shot is not near as difficult as the safari one. The safari eight borders on ludacris and I'm not talking about a So. Cal rapper.
The final hole is number nine. The tee box is located in the southwest corner of the park by the sign that tells you the parks name. This is a longer shot on the edge of a street. You will all ways have a good opportunity to smoke a car or two with your disc. If you throw wide left you get an opportunity to meet nannies. The basket for hole nine is right next to one of those exercise areas that were popular to put in parks in the 70's and 80's. Where you go run for a while then you stop and work on your lumbar. Then you run some more and do pull ups. In the midwest they spread out the stations. At Polliwog they must expect you to go run out a ways then come back and repeat this process until over and over until you knock out all the stations. We never saw anyone use the crap.
The nice thing about this park is that hole nine drops you off very close to your car and hole one tee box if you wanted to get 18 holes in.
My recommendatin is to play the course early in the day before work or after all the nannies take the little kiddies home for supper. You are taking matters in your own hands if you play on the weekends during the middle of the day.
It was an okay course with more than enough obsticles both plant and human. It would be a good week day course if you were able to take in another on the weekend.
I give this course two discs out of five.
