Post a NOT cool disc golf photo

Walnut Creek outside of Charlottesville, Virginia long basket #8 crushed by tree a few weekends ago during a snowstorm. Several other trees had fallen as well. They have another storm heading in tomorrow. Beautiful course.

I just now saw this and it makes me sad. Walnut Creek was my home course from 2018-2020, and I love that place! It is among my Top 5 Favorite courses in Virginia. Hole 8 long is fun and challenging. I hope that it is fixed now.

To Sidewinder22-- that course damage really stinks! It's painful to see, and painful to think of the work that it will take to repair it.

I played Walnut Creek over Memorial Day weekend and the course was in great shape.

Loved playing there, wonderful course. :thmbup:

I followed up on the crushed basket and it was a quick fix in less than a few weeks. I have Walnut Creek ranked #4 on my list behind The Lair, Hawk Hollow, and The Lions. The course is my next review, and #8 will be a feature hole. I'm trying to figure out how not to write a novel with my review on the course, just trying to weed things out.

While I have your attention, is there a thread called "Virginia Disc Courses" like the one for North Carolina, if there is, I haven't found it on search. I think it's time to start one, just some things course baggers should know as there passing thru the state.

My course just got hammered. :thmbdown:

Sad to see the damage on your course. I think it was late last year on Youtube I watched a tournament on your course, a course I would want to bag! Or I could be mistaken that it was another course I watched.

Since you asked, I just started not 1, but 2, new Virginia course threads...

Virginia Courses is the counterpart to "North Carolina Courses" and it's purpose is to discuss existing VA courses.

New Virginia Courses is the place to focus on NEW courses in Virginia, instead of those that already exist.

We'll see how long they both thrive. If typical DGCR history holds, one of them will die off as people do not recognize or care about the distinction between them.

The soil here in North Texas expands/contracts quite a bit depending on water content. We get cracks opening up in the ground every summer, but they're really bad this year with the drought and extreme heat we're having.
This one was big enough to swallow an mvp anode on hole 17.

Glad you were able to spot it. So far this year my yard has no cracks, but I've lived here (Dallas area) all my 62 years and have seen cracks down to the pits of hell.

Whole course is playable again! NADGT and Badfish superclass dubs tourneys this weekend.

Might be the wrong thread for these...

Cool, then not cool, then cool again.

The 80s are back, baby! Let me break out my parachute pants and Members Only jacket.

Started getting the course cleaned back up to open again to guests and this is the first hole we started on. Looks like this probably happened a few months ago but was shrouded by the tall weeds.

Hole 15, Hidden Ridge.

Honestly I'm kind of amazed that the upper chain assembly seems to have been missed completely. Small consolation.

Hope you can repair that at a reasonable cost, and dont have to buy a whole new basket.

Woodsy, hilly, challenging, fun... Hidden Ridge checks a lot of important boxes. Really enjoyed your playing course and spending the afternoon with you! (despite throwing like garbage ).

Three of these in the last handful of rounds. Can't be normal...

Flags on top of baskets increases the odds 100x at least.
Throwing lower decreases the odds infinitely!

Rock snake season. Be careful out there. [emoji106][emoji41]

Not nearly as catastrophic as some of these pics, but this disc sure tried to hide in a small stream.

Pink discs rule!

Stop aiming for the flag...
