Fairfield Park

[Tom McManus]

I met with the park district this morning. Costly $75 visit. Anyway, the basket should be in the ground in the next week or 2. Some of the grass is starting to green and the hole will be playable very soon. It will be a grass tee to begin with.

You shouldn't park in the handicap  spot.

Is there another Doubles Cash Raising Tourney on the burner for The Fall ?

Fairfield can use another tweek or two...

an elevated deck @ #4 say 40 yards behind current box {PARKSIDE DESIGN} would be sweet !

Good luck to fellow discers at Streamwood..

I think Al is right, Fairfield still is not the perfect course.  Lets make some improvements.

...because the farmers to the north don't like disc golf enough, let's add an elevated launch pad for people to lose their discs over the fence from!

I say plant some trees out in the open field. just take some small trees out of the woods and transplant them. then it will be one of the few local courses with trees and hills

And then we can get all the chuckers together and hack them up. The trees would never survive the fury of the CHUCKER!

I have an e-mail into the park district. They have yet to respond.

Thank you very much.

The basket was stolen. The park distrcit is ordering a new basket and should arrive in a week or so. I'm going to place the basket that the club purchased in 14's position then the new basket will go back in 14A.


Keep a lookout for that basket. It will be very easy to identify with it's unique innner chains, paint, and old style.

[BigE]

thanks for the update and if i see the basket ill get it back.

p.s. why do people steal baskets park districts spend all this money so people who enjoy the sport can play for free. Really pisses me off. i wish there was a way to make it a lot harder to steal those. maybe ill just sit out there at night with a baseball bat and a case of beer. ok im done with my rant

[mirth]

2 bags of quikcrete and rebar will prevent them from being easily uprooted, however protecting the locks while making them still accessible is more difficult.

the park districts in our area seem to be flush with cash, regardless what they may tell you, so a $300 replacement basket isn't much to them.

Baskets seem to get stolen around the time Yound Adults are going back to college. They make great laundry baskets.

Hole 14A has been installed. The tee was marked by flags prior to doubles last night but by the end of the round they were gone.

Just a heads up....  I was out playing at Fairfield day before yesterday and had a disc stolen.  I threw down seven and on the way down, that long haired, dirty, crackhead can collector guy that is always out there was walking up 7 at the same time.  My disc was nowhere to be found so I caught up to the guy all the way back at one and confronted him about it.  It took me getting very loud and threatening to call the police before the guy finally admitted to it and threw my disc back at me.  If you see that guy out there (and he's out there a lot), beware.

Does Fairfield have any cattails or are the swampy areas just grass?

I played out there a few weeks back and I someone, maybe the same guy but I don't know. Same thing happened to me but I saw this guy pick up my disc and only after I yelled at him three or four times as I was running up to him did he give my disc back. I saw that he had two or three other disc with him so maybe he is out there  finding disc and trying to sell them to the kids that come out there for extra money or something?

Bump.

They look like cattails to me.
