FYI

Baskets have been moved to the winter positions... 3-right...

That's interesting, I never knew there was any other placement for #3.

Went and played Parkside today.  Figured school would be out so this would be a good time to go.  What a great course!!!  Liked it so much I played 4 rounds.  I'm definitely going back, but I have a question.  All the parking was signed as permit only.  Where do you park when school is in?  Also, how hard is it to play 16-18 with students all over the place?  I was trying to figure out how many campus dwellers I would have pegged in the head today.

Used to be you could go to the campus security office and get a one-day parking permit.  I don't know if that is still the way it works.

there are about 6 parking meters at hole 1, or go to the union and get a pass for 2 bucks , or go 2 the police station which is behind the buildings if you look across Wood Rd. by #4's basket...   or if your like the Milwaukee guys, park in the soccor  field parking lot and start on hole 10 and don't pay anything.

When school is in swing no one gets in the way, there is not much foot traffic around those areas.

Just heard....   not sure of all details...  2 men arrested yesterday at Parkside for attempting to steal #4's basket.  A motorist saw 2 guys shaking the basket loose and called the police, police made it there to see a car with trunk open and a guy dragging a basket to the car...  Ohh and the kicker of the story is that it was around noontime...  this place is busy around noon.

I played this course in the middle of February, and yes, during the week just go to the security office (I forget the name of it, but it's on the east side of the Campus).  Just tell them that you want a day pass for your car, they'll ask why, and then it's $1.

I played at from about 12:15 - 2:30 and played all 18.  They were doing something near the street with big machinery, so I had to start at 2 and come back later to play hole 1.

There were quite a bit of people playing, but generally once you get into the wooded area you won't see as many people.  It seemed like I heard a bunch of people mentioning that they had to get to class or something, so they left after playing a couple holes.

I wondered what happened with the different placements of the baskets.  It's amazing the versatility they have with that course!


That's awful to hear that someone was trying to steal the basket.  The one on hole 4 is probably the easiest basket to spot from the road, so it wasn't exactly the most brilliant people working on that heist.  scum.

Couple things:

1. As the daylight stays with us longer, I found this information on the UW-Parkside Police website:
Q: Do I need a parking permit to park at UW-Parkside?
A: All commuter parking lots on campus require a parking permit MON-FRI, from 7:00am-6:30pm. Weekends do not require permits.

2. In the school newspaper they have a Police Blotter section. This is what it said regarding the basket:
"...12:06 pm. Officers observed two suspects removing a disc golf basket along with a vehicle with an open trunk. Two citations were issued for vandalism and one citation was issued for Operating after Revocation..."

Sterility should be the penalty.  Morons like that shouldn't be allowed to reproduce.

Gotta find out the names of these guys!

I was looking for a post but I couldn't find one so I'm posting here:

Hole #8 (mound hole) is finally aced! Congrats, DOC! There's a picture of the disc on his SITE but I'm not sure what it is.

I think this means that every basket has at least one ace on it (at least from the short tees). NOTE: this doesn't include all of the alternate pin placements, just the baskets themselves.

way to go joe!

Oh how I'd love to get my first Ace...

Anyway, from the link that you gave to site, if you click on the disc itself it loads another page, and the URL states that it's a Wraith.  It says IN_S_Wraith_test, so that tells me that it would probably be an Innova Star Wraith (and some sort of test dye on a star disc).  That's my theory

Hole 8 is such a neat hole!

[CEValkyrie]

I wish I could have seen that one! Congrats Dr!

Joe

Awsome Ace.  That is one tough pin placement.

I assume it went in on the fly and was not a skip ace. Ya? 

[Jon Brakel]

Nice ace Joe!!

Joe Weitzel?
