Safari for High altitude players

[B-John]

We are really looking forward to this event. Being from a mile high (base-sometimes 2 miles high). We are used to pretty open/long holes, with technical stuff when available. Are there any words of advise for a couple of intermediate(very int.) players that will get 2 rounds(at best) of practice? From the course map, we can't really tell how tight this course is. We're guessing having a few shots in the bag would help. Rollers? Thumbers? Grenades? Any ideas as to what we should try to practice? Putting is a given. But any tips on clothing, things to carry(do we expect to be wet in the am.....)would be greatly appreciated.
Can't wait to meet you all. This looks like a real classy event compared to what we see out here.
Aaaahhh! Thick air!
B-Well

This advice is from a very "very int." player  :) .  If you are used to big open holes I would say get out on the front nine and figure out some lines through the trees (mostly holes 4-7).  

You should also get your BALCO on so you can compensate for the thick air.

I'll be in the right area for that.....I think. Barry?  :lol:
From what I see, the holes don't really exceed 410 ish. Fortunately for me, I barely throw that here, so it'll feel like the same struggle in thicker air.
Are tha am's pretty wet (grass or fog wise)? I planned on bringing a rain poncho and a change of socks.

It can rain that time of year and the ground can be wet cause of the fog.  Morning or Afternoon  Also it can be cold in SF in August,  like 50's.

Your discs won't hyzer nearly as much at sea level, very important. Bring a variety of beaten discs or newer discs as things will turn over easier here. I have a very good thumber and have yet to use it on the permanent course except for a couple of scrambling upshots. Roller is out of the question as most of the park is sandy dirt(not many holes to use on anyways). You'll have a great time here

I usually wear shorts when playing. Is it advised to wear pants for this course (poison ivy, or thorny bushes etc?) Long sleeves? Hat vs visor? Extra baby powder? Just kidding on the last one.
Hope everyone is ready for some disc golf!!!!!! So excited for this course and event!

No poioson oak to speak of, but layering the apparel is important. The chill kicks in quickly.
