Fink Park<---Highland Park

[CEValkyrie]

I liked this course. It was longer than the other Highland Park Course. Has 3 over 300ft & several that were 250 to 275. The baskets were in excellent condition. Have to be able to throw straight on this course to pick up dueces.

Played here yesterday. Amen to the straight throwing... In fact, if you can throw in a straight line for over 200' then just about every hole is a possible ace. There are other lines you can take, for example on 8 an overhand roller works very well.

If I had not had a group of locals playing skins ahead of me I probably wouldn't have found every tee.... Its not that they're hidden, they're just hard to find.

[mirth]

Hey, thats right, you work/live in the area....



I'll prolly be playing here today 4ish, interested in meeting up for a round?

[mirth]

Yeah, I will be there. I'm taking a class @ Productivity Point on Lake Cook, hence my proximity to the course (of course, had I known I drive by it every day to and from work I'd be playing it weekly - guess I will now!)

[mirth]

Hey Brett - I see you're online.... Wanna throw Fink this afternoon?

[mirth]

hey, its all good. see you at the meeting tonight. maybe then I can find out whatever this big news jim has.

[mirth]

Played here again yesterday, didn't do to bad for a rushed lunch hour round.... Finished -1 after I was robbed of a couple deuces and forced to take a 4 on 6 after my drive went hard into the woods.



Anyhow, lying right next to the basket was an omega supersoft. Its obviously well used as its dirty and scuffed, however its former owner wasn't too good about keeping his/her name well marked on the bottom and all you can make out are a couple letters.



Interestingly enough, I think I may have been the first golfer out on the course yesteday as the bottom of the disc was soaked with dew and the disc was lying about 1' off to the side of the bottom of the pin.



Guess I have a new catch disc/putter to try! :-)

I love this course, its where I started playing to learn to throw straight, and my accuracy is finally starting to come along :-)



Now Im watching those 4s turn to 3s and the 3s into 2s :-)

[myndcraft]

doh!



Well I would have been able to make it, but overslept this morning so I have to work late. Perhaps next time though!



btw, going to Gurnee tonight?
