Adler Park

[D]

okie jon, i wouldn't know...

hole 5 is 349ft, and i've parked it many times this summer with my rocs

if hole 7 is shorter than hole 5, how can it be our longest hole..?

[CEValkyrie]

I have no clue how long the holes are at Libertyville since I haven't measured them to see if the tee signs are accurate.

#5 says 338ft. &
#7 says 392ft.

I know for a fact that I cannot throw 390ft. The best i've done on a football field was 370-375ft. That was about a month ago. That was 1 of probably 40 practice throws. I was throwing most of them around 340-350ft.

Yestarday I played #5 & #7 3X's. I threw an Orc on both of them.

I 2'd #7 the first round parking it. The 2nd round I hit the trunk of the tree to the right. The last round I hyzered out & landed left just short of pin high. I'd have to guess #5 is fairly accurate & #7's distance is accurate but the downhill grade makes it play much shorter.

I love the descriptions - Dan did a great job

I'm just saying that I play there frequently (every day in the summer) and I've never though of hole 7 as a downhill hole - if it's 25ft downhill that means you can stack two basketball hoops at the bottom of the hill and the teepad would still be higher than them..

I agree it plays shorter than 390, but, downhill? BLAH! Whatever...

Anyways, glad someone had the patience to write that up, I sure as hell didn't

If only the presidential debates were this good.


I agree with you Diron that the basket does not sit below the tee. I do disagree & think it's a downhill hole. 90% of the fairway slopes down to the drainage ditch. Most good birdie drives hit the base off the hill near the trees & skips up to the basket.

Or in the case of danimals- are powered past the pin, and bounce backwards towards the pin

...it was TJ baker and one of his friends...

why did I read that and think tj Fehling..

i don't think i know tj baker..

[Todd. Fanning]

well if you look at the bench between hole 8and 9 i think u can still see TJB on the seat and i asked him about it and he said he did it

cheetah had tjb bloods written on it...

and here I thought TJB was the Tijuana Brass...

you sir are missing one of the great ones    

[Dan Michler]

all i put in the description was that you have to be able to throw about 340 ft. (assumably on flat ground) if you are going to reach Hole 7's pin.  i think that the basket is probably below the tee, but i'll agree that all u have to do is throw it to the bottom of the hill to get it to skip 40 feet up to the basket.  it doesn't take a very long arm to reach this hole.  we could hire a surveyor to bring his instrument out and get the exact distance and angle to the hole.  i'll pitch in 5 bucks

ditto, seriously..

i'd really like to know the exact distance of the adler holes - i'm sick of going by the tee signs which I know are a bit off.

i know how far i can throw what discs, so usually that is how i determine the distance.

would be nice if adler got some new tee signs...

Diron,
    Have you contacted Libertyville about this?

[D]

Negative

It's quite obvious they don't appreciate nor care about the disc golf course. They view it as a spawning ground for dopers and delinquents..

It never hurts to send a quick e-mail

I'll contact them. They could be just like Fairfield. Fairfield had not been contacted in several years until I e-mailed them about the missing basket. They knew it was gone but thought the players didn't care.

I don't think the Libertyville Park District has done anything for Adler Park since I started playing...

and probably much longer before that.

The only thing I can think of is the fact that we got "new" rocks to surround our pin placements  

[CEValkyrie]

Adler park pics & description are ready to go for the web.  

[mirth]

no distances for those holes?

[Dan Michler]

The signs are gone for alot of the holes.

I've started work on this. Should be completed by the end of the week I hope.
