I heard that the new baskets are in.............

Did you see this?

Brett said new baskets are in, but in a sense that they took the old baskets out and replaced them with shiny new ones.

[Trevor Greene]

Yea....  When I went out there they were the same basket positions, just painted ............

I was there on Saturday.  There is a mix of refurbished (top bands were painted white & everything else looks new) along with brand new baskets (Innova Discatchers) on all existing holes. 



Unfortunately, the new Innova basket on #16 was already marked with an ace. 

I believe it was Nick S.   Real American Hero.  His parents must be proud.

I went out Sunday and There are  few of the new anchors cemented in the ground!!!!!!!!!   

[roman]

Yep, they were pouring concrete for the new sleeves last Thursday.

Are you guys serious? I knew when I left for this 2 week vacation this shit was going to start. Hopefully they get it right.

[DiscGolfSchodt]

I was out there on Friday 6-28-13 and they had more achors in for the gold course than the white.

[CEValkyrie]

Thanks for the info. Any more work out there this week?

[CEValkyrie]

Looks like most of the anchors are installed. Wonder when the new mowing pattern and baskets will be changed over  .

[Trevor Greene]

Brett,

Dave Naspinski and I went out there today...  We are wondering the same thing!!!

[Jaseface0714]

They may have done minimal mowing on the new paths recently. I was out there today and it looks like someone mowed a line for a new fairway with a push mower or something. Could be a reference point for the mowers. Not sure.

Update from RLAPD

Anne has her staff working on clearing some of the last of the trees from the last time Chuck was here and we need to clear the stumps that are in all of the new wooded areas. I can't really give a time line yet, but we are hoping to start pouring the "T" boxes in August during the driest time of the year. The first area of new "T" boxes would be getting the ones done in the open area since we will need to rent buggies to transport the concrete to the wooded areas from the trucks. The hardest part we are having trouble with is all of the signage for the site. There are a lot of signs for the two courses and the site in general with the bike trail on the site and everything else we need to do in that area.

[Trevor Greene]

Brett,  Let me know what I can do to help.

[CEValkyrie]

At this point there isn't much we can do. The park district has the staff doing the work that needs to be done.

[Trevor Greene]

Anyone been out there recently?  Changes?

[CEValkyrie]

Nothing as of Monday.

[Trevor Greene]

  DAMN

[Jaseface0714]

Nothing changed as of Friday. I wish this would happen, I am getting anxious.
