When the cattails are waist high they are "rough."  When they are over your head, they are schule.  Schule is the rougher parts of the rough, the parts that make you think about the 5-meter rule.

I tried to figure out if it was "shule" or "schule" but I came across "shule" more often. Maybe it has something to do with my name, but I went with the one without the superfluous letter.

The "rough" that is worth noting at Streamwood is all shule. Its all the kind of stuff that you have to think about how you might manage to throw out of. The stuff that isn't schule, isn't really even all that rough.

Schule is the rougher parts of the rough, the parts that make you think about the 5-meter rule.

I understand where the term derives from, but in 5 years shule will just mean anything that isn't the fairway on a disc golf course. It'll be star par all over again.

Yes, you are right, and that would be Starr par, for those who understand the etymology of that term.

Could someone explain hyzer?

Could someone explain hyzer?

It's easier to explain anhyzer.

This comes from drinking too much Budweiser, being trapped in a large shrub (or shule/schule/whatever) and having to throw towards the basket with the disc tilted upwards at 10 o'clock or so.

This type of shrub, and this type of throw, under these conditions, has come to be known as the...









anhyzer bush.




god I'm bored today.

You da man jay!!! Can't wait.

Yeah, what he said.

*whistles innocently*

Look for it by Wednesday.

If it's not there I give everyone permission to give me the beat down.

[CEValkyrie]

I got my baseball bat in the car .

[Myk]

I'll bring a 3 wood with a graphite shaft.  What better way to beat a disc golfer down than with a Golf Club.

[CEValkyrie]

Ok, we will drop you off in Iraq if you don't get it done by Wednesday. Instead of a beat down, you will get your head chopped off.

How about by using a disc golf club?

[Myk]

We could just enter him into Fear Factor and say he's competeing for a local charity.  Then if he doesn't win we can kick his rooty poo candied butt!!

[myndcraft]

Okay before anyone sicks the hounds on me or the Rock or anything of the sort. I am having problems linking to images in the gallery, I have an idea why, but I need to talk to mirth. So other than the images not working the pages are done. They are'n't linked yet though because of this problem.

[CEValkyrie]

Any progress on the solution to the problem?

[mirth]

I don't even know what the problem is

[mirth]

The problem was a case issue in the URLs, that and some of the flash buttons still had links relative to the Fairfield pages & not the Streamwood ones.

Anyhow, I just spent the last hour fixing all of it and the pages are now online for your browsing pleasure.

Excellent!!! Thanks guys.

I went back & reread my descriptions. I caught a few errors. Very minor.

Hole #2.
This is another big (eiliminate) downhill shot. There are several trees that take the straight route away. You can throw a hyzer or anhyzer. The basket sits right on the edge of a stream. If you take a run at the basket and overshoot, you will find yourself in the water. If you leave your putt (drive) too short, you'll have to take a conservative putt so you don't run it into the water. This is a tricky short hole.

Hole #8
This is probably the toughest hole on the course. There is a route for a very long anhyzer to the basket but if you miss left, there is some nasty shule and out of bounds marked by the fence. You can take the straight or hyzer route as well. Most players choose this (one of these) option(s). There is a run off ditch that is usually wet in the spring and dry in the summer. There are several trees that guard the basket. The basket is nested about 30 feet behind these large trees.

Hole #10
This is another hole you get to grip it and rip it. Down the left side of the fairway is a fence that marks out of bounds. There is plenty of room over there and it takes a horrible hyzer to find out of bounds. The basket is place(d) near the cattails that run along the right side of the fairway. If you burn one on this hole, say goodbye.

Hole #11
Depending on the time of year, this hole plays very differently. When the cattails are low, you can throw a hzyer or straight shot to the basket. When they are tall, the hyzer and straight route is(are) eliminated and you have to take the anhyzer route. The basket is located between several mature trees.

Hole #12
Missing picture that is taken from the basket looking to the tee.

Hole #17
Check this one. It doesn't sound right.

[CEValkyrie]

One last thing.

On the course description, please add that some of the tee signs are inaccurate. The distances posted on this web page are accurate.
