T1 · HIGH
Steep bench
Apex balloons in Shasta gusts. Della marks the high step on basalt before anyone talks about a new head.
Bench 31 · Yuba Street · three-terrace grade
Plot roll as a lava terrace before Shasta wind steals the apex.
Roll Plot is a volcanic bench, not a wood wall of boxes. Corin Ashby reads vertical roll as terrace steps: too steep and the ball balloons over Gold Hills pines; too flat and Keswick dust keeps a three-wood boring into the river corridor.
T2 · FLAT
Dead bench
Center hits stay low like a flow that never left the river. Bram will not call that “penetrating.”
T3 · DUST
Keswick file
Afternoon dust off Keswick is a file. Corin will not average that hour with a still Cascade dawn.
T4 · DEW
Lake lie
Lake Redding dew hides a flat roll until nine. The terrace waits. Wet basalt is a ruined grade.
Why a lava terrace
Garage nicknames are rumors. A bench is a grade the stone can catch.
Enterprise visitors quote warehouse SKUs. Redding ignores SKUs. Two Tierra Oaks summers tell if terrace still works, and the Sacramento corridor tells if a hallway-curved five already bores.
Della inks. Corin picks recut, retire, or idle. Bram names Shasta hours. Dead benches are not sanded for prettier pictures.
Heard on Yuba
Grades people actually plotted
My five-wood still looked curved. Della put the basalt on the crown and the bench was already a landing. We recut. Gold Hills stopped ballooning into the pines.
They asked if I play Lake Redding at dew or Tierra Oaks at noon. I said both. Corin said pick a wind hour or keep a second face. I picked the hour.
