Post a NOT cool disc golf photo

Company announces the expansion of our disc golf course from 9 to 18 this year. :clap:

Company announces sustainable landscaping initiative starting this year.

Company holds a grand opening tournament and half the fairways look like this. This fairway is ~8 feet wide and ~350 feet long. Off some fairways, there are 6-foot tall weeds and plenty of spiky plants. The circle of mow around the baskets aren't even 10 meters. :wall:

I didn't play in the tournament, but I do plan to play the holes that are playable.

Looks like you need to learn how to drive the mower!!

Found this Roc (or what was left of it) in the middle of a wide open fairway this weekend.
The NOT cool part? No. If a disc has to die, I'm sure they want to die on a course!
Someone trashed this disc and left it for P&R to clean up, then, at least two groups walked right past it! That's NOT cool!
C'mon people clean up your messes!!!

If only they'd let us.

Bridges crossing the creeks at Rainbow City DGC. It wouldn't take a lot to fix these, so I hope to schedule a return trip soon and try this again. The tee signs here looked very new, so perhaps that means that the course is getting some much-needed love in the new future!

At least the fairway and green are mowed.

I've seen Fehringer Ranch look like that.

Kinda looks like Idlewild before the IdleOpen started. Some of the bridges there needed serious attention back then.

Way up there from a downhill. Bad throw punishment! Just kind of resting there. Successful salvage mission!

Retriever fail!

I pull in some weird stuff, but rarely the disc I threw in.

Regulation height?

I'm not sure what the regs say about basket height, but pretty sure if the bottom of the basket is above my head there's an issue

 

[Mile High Bogey]

Never give up!

Even when you're embedded in a pine tree for a decade old DX :doh:

Nah. I remember a tourney with Paige Pierce putting almost straight up to a basket

From the PDGA course design recommendations...

https://www.pdga.com/files/PDGA Course Design Guides March 2014.pdf

Manufacturers are required to produce targets so the height of the basket rim above the playing surface will be 82 cm +/- 6 cm. Targets should be installed level with the ground below them even though course developers may install some targets where the height falls outside the 76-88 cm manufacturing range. The PDGA Course Committee suggests that no more than 6 targets out of 18 be installed outside the manufactured height range with just 2 or 3 being preferred. Targets suspended from above can be fun for recreational play but there should be a way to secure it from swinging freely during sanctioned play.

If you don't like tall baskets don't play The Blockhouse - Tiki Course (which is an absolute blast):

I dunno what the regs are, either, but I'm 6'4" and there is a basket on a pedestal on my home course where the bottom of the basket is taller than me. I dunno how people under 6 feet get their discs back...

Today I was finishing hole 9 at my local course, which is a straight short fairway and a 90 degree dogleg to the left around the corner of the parking lot. The easiest way to get to the basket it to throw over the parking lot and let the grass stop it in the event you land short. Today there was a car parked directly in front of the basket, about 4 feet away from it, preventing me from seeing the basket directly.

Just for comparison, I turned to my left and took a picture of the other 100 spots open...

It was a couple of Milenials making out in broad daylight. They paused for me to putt.. then they lowered back down when I walked away. I didn't know whether to acknowledge them or not! Definitely the weirdest thing I've come across on a DG course.
