Let's talk about the moving basket. If you haven't seen it yet:

It's hole 5 at May Dennis in Pratt, KS.

Crazy

What if your lie is within the radius of the arm? You're playing hopscotch AND putting.

Foot fault lol

It sure takes tedious addressing of putts out of play. I think it is awesome.

You're OB if you land inside the circle.

Where do you mark if you land on top of the basket?

 

[DiscDraft]

Is the 10 meters added to the radius of the arm, or is there a possibility of stepping into the putt as the basket moves away from you?

I wouldn't mind this in something like the Tiki course at Blockhouse :thmbup: but not on a real course. :thmbdown: What's next windmills and screens that force bank shots.

Can someone copy and paste so us non-facebookers can see?

I think I might try and build one.
I just need to find the right batt. Powered motor.
Make it so you pop the basket out of the anchor, then put the motor assembly in to the anchor, reinstall the basket into the motor assembly.
If done right, the arm would just pin on to the motor, so it would be fairly portable.

You're OB if you land inside the circle.

Where do you mark if you land on top of the basket?

Covered:

A. The thrown disc establishes a position where it first comes to rest.
B. A disc is considered to be at rest once it is no longer moving as a result of the momentum imparted by the throw.

So, mark on the playing surface under where the disc first landed on the basket. Then, get your head out of the way!

 

[Aim For The Chains]

the basket only spins like 20x per push from the comments of the course owner.

Just one more example of why DROTS should count. opcorn::thmbup:

I'm not personally opposed to screens or nets as agents that can redirect a shot on purpose or accidentally. I've only seen one, whose main purpose is to protect against throwing into a parallel road. I think it could add another factor of interest and test of skill to be able to throw a shot that "rolls" on a vertical net.

I suppose I might be opposed to mandatory bank shots as you describe, based on the design.

I think I have seen this somewhere before...























...Oh yea it was in a nightmare:wall:

 

[jeremyhilss]

Haha my wife just shared this with me. Not a fan though, at least for actual courses.

Yes please.

 

[Thumber]

Yes please.

You don't need to be a facebooker.....just click the link and you can see it

Well, technically, they might have Facebook blocked (like we do at work...which is ironic, as the sign in front of our building invites folks to see us on FB...but I digress)

In lieu of an image, how bout a description? The basket is on a metal arm extending 4-6 feet out from the sleeve position, and apparently is pushed, carousel style, so the center pole of the basket rotates around in a 10 foot circle, so that you have to putt at it as it moves.
