2023 Vic Open Practice Round | Back 9

Join Justice Makepeace at the 2023 Victorian Open in Ballarat Park as he navigates the Back 9 holes of this challenging course. With his playing partner Tim Bowen, a local Victoria MPO player, Justice shares insights and tips on how to tackle the demanding layout. The pair discusses various techniques, including forehand lines and OB shots behind the basket. Justice highlights the difficulties of par-3 hole 10, where a single tree stands between the shot and the basket, and shares his experience hitting one of the trees, requiring a quick flick to save the par. Throughout the round, Justice reflects on the course's unique layout, praising its fun design despite some holes being nearly impossible to master. The duo enjoys their time playing together, making light of mistakes like foot faults, and provides valuable commentary for viewers looking to improve their own disc golf game.
