Vandalism @ Circle C in Austin

[FRIZZLE TOSSLER]

I played an early round out @ Circle C today & noticed quite an array of vandalism out there on the first few holes. :thmbdown: The tee sign on the long box of #1 had it's plexiglass broken & was tagged up. The short box tee sign was also tagged along w/ each trash can (group of three) at the start of the course. A few more tee signs & baskets early in the course had silly tags on the pole portions. Also, most notably one of the two practice baskets was missing (the one underneath the trees).

It had been several weeks since I had been out there & this may have happened some time ago... I was wondering if anyone knew if that 2nd practice basket was stolen or just moved to another course?? Also someone on here mentioned a product that was very effective @ removing graffiti from baskets/signs... was it called Magic Eraser or something like that?? I think I'll give that a try next time I'm out there.

Needless to say, I was pretty bummed to see such a jewel of a course be disrespected in such a manner. That kinda stuff just doesn't normally happen in Austin.

Yeah man, it's really sad. It's weird too because this course is actually in a nice suburban neighborhood. I can almost guarantee that it's some high school punks that are doing it. That douchebag "Jader" that tagged all the baskets and even the stone benches needs to be publicly flogged, or at least tarred and feathered. I noticed he tagged baskets out at Pease too, which means not only is he a punk, but he's an actual disc golfer. So sad that someone that plays this sport is the one defacing it. Unfortunately, I doubt that Magic Eraser would work on the limestone benches. I also heard Hole 13 at Pease was stolen. Sad days for the Austin disc golf community.

That sucks. Sorry to hear.


You could write "is a douche" under all the times he wrote "jader" but that would just be more vandalism.

Yeah, someone wrote "sucks d*ck" under his name on ONE OF THE LIMESTONE BENCHES!!! That did not help matters.

Somebody sharpied "USE A ****ING TRASHCAN FOR YOUR GARBAGE" on one of our benches.

I play Circle C quite often I will throw, and I bought some Majic erasers last week I will throw them in my bag.

I've also wondered about using a power washer to get tagging off benches and other course hardscape.

I'm guessing a power washer would be the only way to get the tags off of the limestone benches, but the problem is getting one up there. The course is isolated away from the rest of the park in rough rocky terrain with no water spickets or power outlets anywhere near the vandalized areas.

Thy sucks I hope he gets caught circle is in nice area but sure some high schoolers out there can be punks. Hope he and it is taken care of for austin's sake.

I played Circle C yesterday, Awesome course you have there, it was a ton of fun. Yeah, I did notice the vandalism, noticed a sign that mentioned that it had happened in February sometime (could have been a different set of vandals) showed a picture of one of their work carts burned to the ground and mentioned a reward for finding these punks. Still a great course, I had a quite enjoyable round.
