I thought it was common at all disc golf courses to sign the basket or tee sign after an Ace. Maybe it's just common in the Midwest.
I've signed a tee sign & basket after all 9 of my aces. I thought it was standard for disc golfer to do. Playing at Bevier & Fairfield a lot, that is where I saw it. I probably won't sign next time, that's if there is a next time :D .
I like Parksides idea of cut off 2x6 pieces for signing aces..
Indeed, I saw the post this morning and added what Parkside does.
"I've signed a tee sign & basket after all 9 of my aces."
Ya, but did you have to do it in six inch block letters?
got 5 aces never signed any basket any sign
i know i got em
discs are hanging on wall now
if i was in a group with ace
i would be against it
After reading the EXTENSIVE postings on this subject, I have had a change of heart. I used to think that it was cool, even appropriate, to sign teeposts or numberplates.
Now, I think differently. After seeing teeposts (#6 and #8 in particular) starting to get filled up with names, I must say it does look bad. It really isn't different from graffiti. And yes, I am guilty of this as well. The WPD has asked me in the past to pass on their request that players stop signing names. With the beginning of a new season, this is a good time to take on this issue.
As Club Representative to the Waukegan Park District, I would like to officially ask all players to NOT TO SIGN OR MARK TEEPOSTS OR BASKETS FOR ACES OR ANY OTHER REASON.
I will post this at the park and on the website soon.
I aced #13 at Cass-Benton today with a Z-Buzzz. 240 feet with the last 100 through a wide tunnel of trees. The disc floated into the basket so gently that it was not even a bad throw. I did not write on the basket, sign or disc. I don't even know which disc it was.
I have this thing where if I write an ace on a disc I lose it in the river before the month is over. So I did not mark the disc or notice which Buzzz it wazzz. Three holes later I left my Challenger near a basket while my partner was making the drop-in and forgot to ask if he picked up my disc. Oh, well.
