    Input for Heavily Wooded Course Design

    Bringing the water into play is good. Consider the depth and amount of trouble disc retrieval will be though, when picking out a spot, because they will find their way in there for sure. I also agree that hiking around in a big circle and looking for obvious "great" places for tees and greens is...

    Texconsinite I forgot to mention the chain info.... Yes the heavier chains do make a big difference in the way they catch a disc. The kind I have been using is less expensive than the "2/0 straight link" chain that Innova uses. I was buying it by the 1000' barrel and it was a lot less expensive...

    The ones I use are 55 gallon drums. I only use ones from car washes or other clean sources, you never know what's been in some barrels yo might find laying around. I've found that the white ones work best. You can put a light on the top for night golf, and with it shining down through one of the...

    Yes Olorin I like the Old Course the best myself. I had to make the other two layouts so that we could play loaded tournaments here and be able to play in just one direction without much interference. The first big tournament I had here in '99, the Homegrown, that was all I had so I let everyone...

    That one used to be in a local city park (Kentwood) before a tree landed on it during a hurricane that came through here. It was bent up pretty bad so the course pro there donated it to the course after the city replaced it. I managed to straighten it mostly back out but it could only sit...

    They are pretty labor intensive but the material cost isn't that much. I get the barrels for free from my local car wash, and the poles, chain, and hardware from the local farm supply. That one probably cost me around 20 bucks because I already had the chain. Chain has gone up a lot in the past...

    Thank You! I'm glad someone who is known and trusted here, and has actually met me and played my course numerous times, decided to post about it. It was Olorin who led me to this forum to begin with. It was also him who helped me out with my scorecard design. Thanks L! I'll try and get a...

    Hello!~ 1st Post!

    (cont.) And to the guy who commented that private courses shouldn't be listed in a public directory, and permission to play shouldn't be required, It's obvious you don't even know anyone who owns and operates a course in their own back yard. Would you like to look out your bedroom, or kitchen...

    Hello!~ 1st Post!

    Just forget it then... Trying to talk to a bunch of juveniles here, who don't understand the concept that LIES were told about my course in a public review on your website, whether due to forgetfulness, sarcasm, or WTF ever, is totally and completely unacceptable. If the shoe was on the other...

    Hello!~ 1st Post!

    Taking this to PM after this... John I think I was very clear that I want your original assessment of my course taken down. You were "sarcastic", you were misinformed, you have never met me for long enough to actually get to know me and be properly introduced to the course. If you had been, you...

    Bring it on anytime Tom. Sounds like you know some good friends of mine...Ann A., Hawk, D Silva, lots more I'm sure.... yeah I played MC for the first time last week. Looks like they have a nice thing going there. I look forward to watching it, and helping it grow in.

    Pay to Play is NOT a con

    If you refrain from playing any course because you're too cheap to give up 3 bucks to help out with the upkeep, that's your loss dude. You will also find that you are missing out on some of the best disc golf has to offer. City parks are funded by tax money we all pay. I don't think anyone...
