Hit a tree. Guess a little too hard
Dang, I've never seen a premium plastic disc shatter like that. I wonder if that thing sat in the sun for a long time and got brittle or something.

I just posted a pic in the "cool photo" thread for a similar issue. This one, though, is just me complaining.
Having a course at my house, KMDGC, is great! But here's fairway #12 with a couple new obstacles. :\ The basket is hard to see, but it's just left of center, about half way up.
Good thing I like being outside, even if it does mean breaking out the chainsaw and wood splitter!
(Sorry about the image quality. Crappy cell phone pic got washed out by the sun.)
My buddy gets his disc hung up in a tree. After he throws his water bottle at it 5-6 times. I said "Let me give it a try"..........:doh:

Just leave it as is. Changes the hole a little.
In 3 years it'll be mostly gone.
Second round my buddy, the disc finding king, showed up. We get back to 16 he throws 1 stick and gets it down.
What happened?Salient quality strikes again. This is the 6th basket that has broken due to natural conditions. This was from a 20-25mph wind.
From what I could tell the pole and/or the locking sleeve snapped due to wind. They're made from cheap metals all the way around.What happened?
a) Was it installed poorly, or...
b) Did the pole break/buckle?
I've played on DiscNation Liberty baskets before...can't imagine winds less than hurricane force would break the pole.

Too bad thet didn't just stick to discs and bags. They had to screw up courses, too.I have two of the Liberty baskets from before Salient was involved. They are heavy duty. I assume Salient cheapened them up.
