A Very Good Disc Golfer!

Yup, It's Done!

First Hole Is Complete

Checking out the form for the catch foundation.

Working on the tee box for the first hole.

We completed tee box one and afterward decided that pouring concrete would be better for the rest of the course.

We were able to get the guys who maintain the common areas to dig the holes for the catches.  Huge time saver!

First catch.  It can't take that many bag of concrete, can it?

7 - 80 pound bags of Quikrete!  Are you kidding me?

The loop in the middle is to padlock down the catch and prevent theft.

Yes, it is hot!

Disc Golf Course: First Draft

The course starts in the lower right hand corner at Tee Box 1 and heads left to terminate at Catch 5.  The course then continues from Tee Box 6 in the lower left hand corner and heads right, terminating at Catch 9.

Note: All of the holes are designed so the 'throw' is away from private property.  I want to keep my neighbors happy!

Note 2:  The longest hole is at a whopping 620 feet to Catch 9.  This will be with the wind 95 percent of the time.

Note 3:  Hole 6 is a potential hole-in-one with a distance of only 113 feet.  However, if you under-throw you will end up in a nice deep rocky swale.

Building A Nine Hole Disc Golf Course

I have been thinking about this for a long time so when I walked into Costco and saw a killer deal on Disc Golf baskets it was time to act.

9 Holes Worth!

Each one comes with a driver, a mid-range and putter so there will be no shortage of discs to throw.

Now I have to design and build the course...

The stakes are not going to work.  Plan to pour a concrete pad for each and bolt the base to it.

And here is what I have to work with!  1400 x 145 feet.  I think I'll be fine.
