Post a NOT cool disc golf photo

[grodney]

Saturday we were out playing, and I told my wife and girls "This tree is going to fall someday and crush this basket." on hole #15 at Elon Eager.

Went out yesterday and saw the below. I guess the good news is that it could have been worse.

Don't miss your putt. It could land on a used diaper.:\

Glad the tree missed its putt...side rim banger for a 2 putt :doh:.

Basket as baby-changing station? :\


That's a new one!

Last time this disc was in the creek. Now its a bit higher.

:doh:

Seriously where my disc landed 5' from basket.

That ain't no garter snake.

I wonder if it throws a Sidewinder?

 

[Tfire25]

Is it a rattler? Weird looking pattern by the head.

It was a rattler, he didn't move and I knocked my disc away with a stick. BTW I counted the par haha, snake rule #43

Funny part about this was that the putt was thrown horizontal and a tiny branch flipped it up and into tree.

t'would've been epic if it was a "Viper" or "Sidewinder"

Deerwood Park shouldn't have flooding issues, as a flood control dike separates it from the river, but alas...

the worst part is there is no drainage for the course, as water is not *usually* an issue, so it will take all summer now for the water to just evaporate. mosquito city.

is there a recurring source of water or was it flooding and now won't drain?

that doesn't look like anything a sump pump and a generator couldn't take care of in an hour or two... or a fire department couldn't pump out in 20 mins...

the cedar river was very high last week in our area (blue area was all underwater), and for a few days water was several feet deep right up to the back side of the dike (yellow line). our suspicion is that it seeps under/through the dike is one or more places and boom, the course (green polygon) is flooded with no drain.

As to getting rid of it, there is a back part of the course that is unreachable at the moment due to complete inundation. Not really a sump pump job, though the fire dept could likely have it all drained in a few days. if they cared. which they don't, because its only a DG course and there is flood cleanup to be done elsewhere.

that's a heck of a flood plain... flood plains seem to be places of choice for disc courses... the photos you posted looked like it was just around baskets...

if you can't access holes due to flooding... that's an entirely different story...
when we had the hurricane, followed by the October snowstorm in New England we def had access problems...(like every road out of town had a 3 ft diameter tree (or multiple trees) over them... states of emergency are no joking matter so be safe...

3000 gallon per hour sumps are less than $250... maybe you can be a disc hero... Good Luck and be safe!

#3 basket at Orange Beach DGC after 17.5" of rain back in April. Rains also claimed #4 teebox.
