Yesterday I played 2 rounds on a course with Prodigy T3 baskets. First time I had ever seen them. I had absolutely no problems and they caught just as well as the Discatchers I'm used to playing on. Visually it took some time to get used to the chain assembly design and they appeared to be...

If the course isn't busy, playing safari holes is really fun. Our local course is never that busy and a few of us have a fantasy safari layout that we play occasionally. Some of the best holes that could have existed on a course reveal themselves with no constraints on crossing fairways or...

Tyler, to clarify, none of this is my original work. I am using formulas and ideas put forth by Chuck Kennedy. I find it useful because we use a lot of mixed layouts at our course and it's nice to be able to reasonably estimate the SSA of whatever layout we are using. I agree with hawk12...

These pics are almost 6 years old now... A lot of the brush is gone (and a few trees) so the gaps are more open, but you get the idea. A few early gaps off the tee Late gaps for approaches (orange baskets) I think these contribute the most to the course playing at that FF or...

I'm sure most of you are familiar with this chart for calculating the Foliage Factor (FF) for a course Foliage Range Pinball 218 234 Tighter 235 251 Corridor 252 264 Woodsy 265 277 Average 278 292 Stands 293 307 Scattered 308 324 Isolated 325 354 None 355 385 Distance/FF + 30 =...

Objects or baskets. I was just curious if people in general didn't feel it was fun putt to a smaller target. I actually like the idea of a smaller, yet very good catching device (either less vertical or less horizontal space), although that opens a whole other can of worms and there's probably...

All Bullseyes, zip-tied chains, or anything like that? I played a run through of a new course going in nearby that had all of the anchors in but no baskets yet. Each anchor had PVC pipe sticking up about 4 feet. Granted a PVC pipe is a little extreme for a target size, but it was actually...

$5-10/$10-20/$100-200 (if I lived locally) No cart for me, but it sounds like it might be mandatory Is there a way you could make a par 65-ish layout? That might appeal to more players with time constraints. Maybe end the course before the 18th hole of the golf course if you can get back to...

Sounds good. I'll look into it.

Gotcha. Thanks for the info

Does the slaked lime have the effect of adding a harder layer underneath/on top? Sounds like it would prevent rutting nicely.

Sorry to ask this again, but what are the ideal rock sizes for base and top layers for gravel tees? I seem to remember something along the lines of #57 for the sub layer and #21a crusher run for the top. We are installing some new gravel tees (framed and tamped) and I want to make sure it's...

Do you have any pictures? I'd like to see what those look like.

Yes at Montgomery Hall. On the hole 12 tee pictured (numbered differently now on the course) http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course_pics/787/c7acb2da.jpg We've lost trees on both sides of this gap and now all kinds of stuff gets through. Also on one of the newer holes we've developed there...

Thanks for the replies. I think I'll do the posts to protect a few new trees from disc hits. The lattice is a good idea too but I'm afraid it may get broken.
