Vermont Folks Have Got To Be The Most Honest People I've Ever Heard Of ! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 5, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Newbrook Elementary School has a disc golf course that plays around it's school. The course starts off to the left side of the school as you walk by. That's important information to know, and as I didn't have it, I had a slightly more difficult time finding the beginning of this course.

The courses has the same cheap temporary Discatcher Sport Target Model as ever other course in this state. Did the whole state of Vermont get a special deal on buying Cheap Discatcher Sport Target model baskets? No one else in the entire country uses these baskets and Vermont loves them!

The tee signs are temporary laminated signs stuck on small poles. There lots of next tee signs. They're all kinda fun because they all say "Next Tee" twice, the second time it's written upside down. I think maybe the students at Newbrook Elementary all might suffer from some rare type of dxylexia?

There are only natural tee pads although some have been outlined with small logs. Some paths to the holes or next tees have also been lined with small logs.

Actually, the entire course has this temporary feel to it. It's like an Australian Aboriginie course in Mathew Quigley, you may very well wake up one morning and find that they've moved the whole course to another elementary school. Maybe gotten a better offer? Maybe there's more water at the other school? Better looking teachers?

Cons:

# 2 tee sign says 283 ft. When I looked, all I saw was a rickety assesd looking baseball field. Looked like something out of the 1930's.

# 6 is way longer than the listed 167'. But that's what happens when your baskets are portable, just put em where you want. This would be a great course for a tourney. After you finish with the hole, move the basket back into the brush 25 feet back for the group behind you!

# 8 had a long walkout down a pleasant path to get to the next tee.

Other Thoughts:

These brand new cheap baskets are all just sitting here unattached. None of them are chained down or even staked. In every part of the country I've been, these baskets (although cheaply built) would end up in someone's backyard as a personal putting practice basket. Heck, I'm so impressed with the honesty of the Vermont folks that I think I'll quit locking my car when I'm playing and then I won't have to carry my car keys, I'll just leave those in the ignition. And I don't have to carry my wallet with all that heavy money in it. I'll just leave it on the front seat next to my I-Pad. Isn't Vermont a great state?
