Weekly Perfect Putt 360 contest.
Does anyone have an idea for a putting competition? I'd like to keep it uniform and track weekly high scores.
Also looking to elevate one of the baskets for putting.
Looking forward to coming out and playing. It will be nice to have something close by.

Sounds like a nice early start on a winter plan, Brett. Options might depend on how many baskets you can rustle up.
I've played various variations of horseshoes. Usually one pt for one in, three for making both putts. Playing doubles allows folks to play back and forth between two baskets pretty easily and quickly. Maybe a bracketed match-play format so there's a champion team each week. Season-long standings perhaps based on pts for winning matches and a bonus for winning each week. Since you'll have 2 hours, you might also consider a putting stations course that everyone could circuit and tabulate points. That would be maybe a nice starter while folks trickle in or to end things after the other matches finish up.

No points John. I am not betting on the Packers. I plan on coming out Monday night. It should be a good time.
This is awesome Brett! I will probably come by on Nov 21st when I am home for Thanksgiving break. The Jackson family also has two Instep portable baskets, one with two sets of chains and one with one set of chains. If you need baskets for that week of the 21st let me know and I can bring them with.
I like that speed putting contest - reminds me of the 3-point shooting contest. I would recommend using 5 discs of identical colors but differing colors at each station. That way you can easily add up the points at the end knowing what color was used at each station.
There are a lot of basketball related games that you can convert into disc golf games like knockout and P-I-G.
I don't know if they have any equipment they could set up, but it would be nice to have stuff that you could lay out to mimic a bush or something that you would have to putt around or go up and over to practice those pop shots a little bit more.

That's what kids are for. Nothing tests the nerves more than tossing putts over your tots.
my kids mimic tornados better than they mimic a tree rooted to the ground with only a slight to moderate breeze lol.

I may have allegedly used this practice technique a time or two... :D
when i had a basement big enough i would set up multiple stations with different scenarios to putt with. this would only require a few baskets, masking tape, sharpie, and something to mark obstacles to avoid, such as cones, chairs, etc. 2 putts from each station. 1st putt worth 2 points, 2nd putt worth 1 point. top score wins. this is great for practicing the situations that happen outside. being confident in any style outside your own natural style was/is the goal.
examples:
- Spin putt
- Pitch putt
- Jump putt
- Straddle Putt (Step Left & Step Right)
- Push Putt
- Knee(s) Putt
- Hyzer
- Anhyzer
- Low Ceiling
- High Ceiling
- Throw for it
- or any combo of
Just a reminder. Open gym Monday night starting at 8pm. You can come and go as you please. Stay the full 2 hours or 30 minutes. Open gym baby!
I am pretty sure I am going to make the drive up tonight. It'll be Rocs n' Aviars for dinner tonight.
how was the turnout tonight? was wondering if GUTS is a possibility in the future? I can supply the guts 'disc' if needed and possibly 5 local's from round lake. All avid discers but none have played GUTS before. I recall asking about GUTS many years ago, any interest now?

Crappy turnout tonight. Only 7. Hoping more come of they won't continue. The soccer field is in high demand during the winter and we are lucky to use it.
Guts is possible if people want to play.

I'm pretty new to the sport and have been addicted to throwing a Frisbee the past couple months. I was at A2B in Greyslake and the owner told me about the DISContinuum club. He said you guys get together in Round Lake and set up some catchers in a gym and practice. So I came on here to get some more info.
Where in Round Lake do you guys meet and play? Does it cost? I wont be able to make it tonight but perhaps next Monday. Thanks for your help!

:sleepy2: 8:30 YOU KILLING ME SMALLS :sleepy1:
I'll be there ;D
I will be coming from Belvidere but will plan to be there.
I got an e-mail today saying they have to cancel this first Monday. NO OPEN GYM on January 9th. Sorry. Spread the word.
Open gym resumes Monday night. Every Monday from 8:30 to 10:00PM.
There was an issue last week. The soccer field has been booked. We went upstairs to the multipurpose room for putting. Finished on the soccer field after they left.
This week we are booked on the basketball court from 8-10.
Also, I believe I left a white avier with a blue stamp on it. That would have been the final week before we took a few weeks off. If anyone has it let me know.
OPEN GYM IS CANCELLED
is open gym cancelled for the rest of the winter?
Yes
I saw in my Round Lake Area Park District catalog that they are offering a disc golf class for 1 week this summer. Anybody know who is teaching this?

I heard KVN was back in town,maybe this is his new gig?
This was something that we discussed to go along with open gym. I told them that if I couldn't teach it that I would find someone.
Its scheduled for the week of Worlds, so you might want to find somebody.
