Course looks great, someone is spreading chips on wet areas... 

Nice Ace Doc...

[SERG]

Thanks to Joe Weitzel and Jim Runge for the chipping. Joe is out there today spreading limestone/gravel/whatever that stuff is in front of the teepad.

Dave Light has been out there every Saturday morning picking up trash.

You guys are doing an awesome job.

I am far away from Kenosha but sounds like the park will be sweet for IOS #1

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..."

UPDATE:
Heard yesterday that the two individuals who pulled out the basket were indeed intoxicated. They were hanging on/shaking the basket. Thought it would be funny to pull the basket and hide it in the leaves under the big trees. Something eventually clicked, or sobreity started to kick in, and they drove around to the hole with an attempt to pull the basket up to the roadside hoping someone would notice it and replace it.

I'm sure they weren't bringing it to the roadside to put it in their trunk!......Nah!......heavy sarcasm.

I'd like to thank everyone that has ever played a tournament at Parkside...  your fees have been used to put in a nine hole course behind the cop shop on the east side of Wood Rd.  The anchors are in at this time and the baskets were put together tonight...  all we have to do is weld the chain assembles on and we should have them in...  most likely install this Saturday afternoon.  Lots of work needs to be done on this course and if you land off of the fairway you will be in some thick praire..   as we see foot paths form in certain areas we will mow it more.  I borrowed a lazer rangefinder and will get some distances up here soon.

Look forward to a Darkside Nine event this fall..

Shawn,

Thanks for the info & hard work Shawn. Can't wait to see the new holes. Tell the parkside crew fantastic work as usual!

[shawn]

Thanks Brett, everyone responsible is pleased with this expansion...  Come on out as the baskets are in and the course is playable... might want to wear long pant and bring a few spotters..

Heres the scoop, the course in behind the cop shop..  If you can see the building, they can see you..  We do not have trash cans there yet so please pack out what you pack in.

#1 is a horseshoe RHBH hyser, 223ft

#2 DO NOT GO LEFT, it is a swamp... only 10ft wide it is a disc thief. path is in road on left of swamp is OB.  328ft

#3 Over sumac mound... 292ft

#4 downhill 469ft

#5 my favorite...  corn is OB (not really in play for this t-pad) uphill 417ft

#6 first tree on right mando to stay left 319ft  we are planting a phone pole there with a MANDO sign on it.

#7 straight well placed 420ft

#8 short 275... talking about making this a USDGC style hole..  stay tuned.

#9 375ft

More mowing will be done as we see the foot traffic and throwing patterns, its some tough praire..  I lost 2 disc out there today so you may want to leave your good plastic in the car...  or just find the fairway on your drives.

[shawn]

A new path is in after you finish hole 3, go left into the woods, not uphill to the right...  we are going to put in a anchor for hole 1 on the top of the hill of the path on the right so naturally we had to move the path..

Anyone get out there yet?  Some really sweet new holes...  just bring a spotter or keep a good eye on your shots.

NEW INFORMATION

The entire Union Parking Lot will go out of service beginning May 19, 2008. This is the parking lot you use to park for the disc golf course. You may wish to consider parking to the east (across the street) of hole #4 and then starting on hole #4.

I'll update with more information as I learn of it. No news about removing any of the first couple holes yet.

I'm still sore from shoveling waukegan

[SERG]

Not sure. Haven't been out there. I can't make glow tonight but they usually shovel as they go along.
I don't have a shovel so I'm no help on this one.

[tacimala]

I played there last Saturday when there was still 6-7" of snow. I was pleasantly surprised to find both tees shoveled on the first few holes. However my comment about "whoever did such a great job shoveling probably got tired around hole 6" came true as we came up to that tee. A few holes through the woods were shoveled a few days before the first 6 were, but they had some ice buildup since then. Based on the weather I would say that 10-12 of the 18 are going to be 100% and the others will be pretty good. Thanks again to whomever made that happen, we had a blast there.

glow doubles still going on this friday ??

[SERG]

Glow doubles at 7:00. Haven't been there in about a month so I'm not sure what type of turnout there has been. Predictions for tomorrow are for 3"-6" of snow accumulation.

[chaos]

Thanks serg hope to see you out there!!

Hey Shawn Serg Craig Ed Dennis and all the folks responsible for the expansion - THANKS!
