UW Parkside

I figured only the Glo discs would actually glow but I was under the impression that when you shine a blacklight on a disc, it lights up a bit, thus making it easier to find.  I get it now!

[JOsh]

Wow Kyle, Duece on 8 huh?  Good job bro.

[JOsh]

As long as Kyle and Shawn are sharing, I dueced 8 from the Am tees friday night before the Glo round.  I had a really nice drive that gently landed at the base of the rocks and gave me an easy putt up.

[JOsh]

Wow couldn't believe the conditions @ UWP Saturday.  Any more days like that and I wouldn't be surprised to see it shut down for a while for repairs/healing time.  Good think my shoes are waterproof!

[JOsh]

Hmm...I can probably get there by 5:30 if I hustle outta work.

[JOsh]

Ouch :-)  Didn't you see?  I got one last thursday night on 14.  Skip Ace.  Now it's Kyle's turn :-)  'course I wouldn't mind a second one ;-)

Hey I have an SE Valk, and it's hit a few trees so it's be come a bit overstable.  How does the CE Valk hold up to a tree every so often?

Your Valk is understable Josh, that's why it turns over and goes right on you all the time.

[kyle]

Sounds like I need to buy a couple of glow discs. :)



BTW, the 28th is a saturday.  Weather.com says that sunset on the 27th is at 6:40.



Which tree is getting cut on 12? Haven't noticed that yet, but I've only been playing short tees lately. (That's the only bad part about the course being on a college campus.  To many idiots that don't think and ruin it for everybody else.)

[kyle]

BTW, since you mentioned a glow league...



Josh, another friend and I picked up a couple of 500,000 candle power floodlights last fall (cordless/rechargable) for about $15 each at Wally world.  Not only are they great for tracking drives in the air at night (if you don't have a glow), but they also make the glow discs glow really bright for a long time.  

Each light runs for about 30-45 minutes and needs to be charged for 12 hours, but they work great.

Speaking of new signs Shawn, what are your thoughts on getting a bulletin board at UWP?  

Josh and I may have a donor/sponsor.  Email me about it and I can give you some more details.

[kyle]

Sounds like I need to get there early so I can buy more discs I probably don't need :)  



If you've got any DX leopards, I'll take them.

[kyle]

Here are some scorecards I made up a few months ago to use on the Parkside course.  The pdf file looks a litte funky, but they print fine.

[kyle]

Here's the other version if you're putting more than yourself on the card.

[kyle]

I'll take whichever one of the ce leopards Valk doesn't want

[kyle]

BTW, thought I'd share:  I was finally able to get a duece on hole #8 at Parkside tonight. (am tee, I wish I could throw long enough to do it from the pro tee)  

Should have done that a long time ago, but the accuracy on my drives has really been suffering the last couple of months.

[kyle]

Somebody busted the sign post off at ground level on the tee sign on hole 7(am) today.  



It was still up late yesterday when I played and was laying on the ground, snapped off at the bottom when I was out there today.

[kyle]

Yeah, the "trenches" they dug for the chips on 3 and 4 are great!  

I'm also really liking the alt. placement on 11.

[Jon Brakel]

Bruce and I have always thought it ironic that the best course in the Chicago area is in Wisconsin. That you continue to improve it, is fantastic! I look forward to getting up there and playing the course again.

[Jon Brakel]

I still think its the best course in the Chicago area. Its within 60 miles of Chicago anyway. Its better than anything IN Chicago for sure!  :)

It actually looks pretty cool.  And there is no losing discs in the blackness.
