Most Kansas DG holes in a day. How would you do it?

[scarpfish]

I was participating in some discussions on DGCR about attempts to play as many unique holes in a single day as possible, and thought that I'd like to try it this year come solstice week. I thought I'd open the floor on how you all would go about accomplishing such if you were to do it yourself.

Here would be the criteria for counting a hole:

1. The course it is on must be located in the state of Kansas. (We could create a separate list that includes out of state courses in case you want to head into Missouri or Oklahoma).
2. The course must be publically accessible. Private or pay to play courses are fine as long as any joe can come in and play it.
3. The hole must have actual baskets that can catch discs (no tonepole or other object courses.) Homemade baskets are fine.
4. Each hole be played from its designated tee box to its designated basket. No safari holes. If your course is missing a basket for whatever reason, you cannot play that hole.
5. If a hole has multiple tees, you may choose your tee (logic tells you of course to play the short ones). You do NOT get double credit for playing the same hole from both tees.
6. If the hole has multiple pin placements, you are stuck with whatever placement the basket is in.
7. You must play the hole in accordance with the proper rules involving OB's, bunkers, lost discs, etc. If a hole has a designated drop zone, you may make use of it.
8. You have a 24 hour window to record as many holes as possible, and may start play immediately after midnight on your day of choice, and must conclude play by midnight the next day. (Consider that In many parks playing before/after a certain hour is curfew violation).
9. You do not need to play every hole at a course, nor do you have to play the holes in order, but you only get credit for the ones that you do.
10. Scorekeeping is not necessary as it would drag out your time.

This would be my itinerary of choice. I could do the 24 hour thing, but I'm not going to considering there's driving involved.

1. Drive to Emporia in the pre-dawn darkness and start at the middle school as soon as I can see where I'm going.
2. Play the four Emporia courses in this order: Middle School, Jones West, Jones East, Peter Pan. 72 holes.
3. Drive to Newton and eat something on the way, hopefully pre-prepared.
4. Play Camp Hawk. 24 holes. Total 96 holes.
5. Drive to Valley Center and play that course. 9 holes. Total 105 holes.
6. Hit Oak next, and then Herman Hill. 36 holes. Total 141 holes.
7. Hit Colwich. 18 holes. Total 159 holes.
8. Head home to Hutch and play Carey in the fading twilight (at least I hope there will be some left). I could perhaps negotiate it in the dark with glow discs is possible. 18 holes (17 at the moment). Total 177 (176) holes.
9. Get some sleep.

You really kind of have to think things out. Like...

If you get a disc stuck in a tree do you spend time going after it?
How many discs do you carry? I'm thinking dragging a bag would add unnecessary back strain and slow you down. What about water?
Do you play less risky on difficult holes considering score doesn't matter?
Hole is blocked by other players? Play around them or skip it? Come back later?
Do you plan your route to avoid crowded courses at busy times?
Do you use an easier throwing style so you don't wear yourself out? Do you jog between throws?

In short, time management, preparation and navigational skills would be every bit as important as golf skills are. It would be interesting to see what people would come up with.

NE Kansas would be the way to go. You could start in Emporia, do Lawrence, Topeka, and head to KC. Tons of courses there, though many are in MO. If you were serious, you could probably do about a dozen courses in 24 hours. If you were playing speed golf and you had a good driver, you might get 20. Thought I heard about the guy who has the record for most courses in 24 hours doing it in KS/MO, just like were talking about. Funny when some areas like Des Moines have a ton of courses just in one city.
