Join GAOC Saturday, March 30th at Chattahoochee Bend State Park.
We will be at the boat ramp - provided the river doesn't flood. It's been a wet month... Interested in looking at the river level? Here is a gauge that is just upstream from Chat Bend on GA 16: GA 16 gauge 5 feet is great! 20 feet is not...
Since many of us are going to the US Masters the week after this meet, the silver and brown courses will be printed at 1:7500, which is the scale for the brown courses at the Masters. There are two brown courses at the Masters, with the shorter brown like our silver. Also, there are extra courses you can do as a second course for practice: Silver, brown, green and red are as usual, sharing many controls. But the silver extra and brown extra are different (although the extra courses share controls). So you could do the 2 silvers and get two different courses, or the two browns, or the green and the silver extra - and so forth.
Course | Description | Controls | Distance | Climb |
---|---|---|---|---|
Red | Long advanced course | 18 | 7.4 km | 95 m |
Green | Medium advanced course | 12 | 5.1 km | 125 m |
Brown | Short advanced course | 10 | 3.8 km | 35 m |
Brown extra | Short advanced course | 13 | 4.0 km | 45 m |
Silver | Very Short advanced course | 9 | 3.1 km | 30 m |
Silver extra | Very Short advanced course | 8 | 3.1 km | 30 m |
Orange | Intermediate course | 13 | 5.0 km | 50 m |
Yellow | Novice course | 12 | 3.4 km | 35 m |
