Photos of the different tee types

[gottafixit]

I'm pitching a course tomorrow and I was hoping to supply photos if the diffent type of tee options. I know I could look through courses but I also know it is easier to ask. SO if you have good photos of a tee type or know of a course page that does let me know where or email gotta_fixit@hotmail.com

Needed
- Concrete
- Packed Stone dust
- Natural if Toe boards or boarders
- Rubber
- Anything else?

[jtencer]

Some courses use carpet. It's a lot like the rubber pads.

[justin]

I'd suggest not giving them too many options or the town/land owner might choose a poor option but I'll email you pics of some beautiful brick teepads tonight. They're large flat bricks, not ones you'd see in a building. I love these things. Tough like concrete but "softer".

Good luck on the pitch man!

Thanks I like bricks as well. As for carpet it's a campus and I don't think carpet is a good option. I think toe boards or concrete are the best but i'm not sure what they would be willing to consider so I like to have options.

Here's the brick tees I was talking about. This tee isn't as level as the others but it's all about how well they're laid down.

I'll email them to you if I don't see you post here again.

[gottafixit]

Thanks for the photos I pieced together a little one page collage of tee photos, couple toe boards, couple crush, couple paver , couple concrete, and a rubber pad. Think it highlights the best options.

[biscoe]

do the brick ones get slick?

[justin]

The ones I posted I have not tried in the rain. That's a good point though.

Mr gottafixit please post something about how your pitch presentation after you make it. We all hope it goes very well. My friends in your area (not DGCR members) need another solid course. Too much Bluemont for them.

[bwiese]

do the brick ones get slick?

I think it depends on the brick you use. Falling Creek in Va used old bricks from the cities streets they had laying around and they are slick all the time. If it is raining, if it just rained, if there is due in the mornings and you have to walk. They did use a different type of brick on two of the teepads, and they do a little better. Now if it is a hot sunny day and the dew is dried up/never thre the brick pads are great and look good. The other good thing about the brick pads were they were free and allowed to county to afford to put the course in.

[justin]

Oh I love those Falling Creek teepads...and I love Falling Creek. What a fun course.

So how did the course pitch go?

Someone here in TX mentioned long concrete pads???? looik at the pics from lake lewisville, tx. their pads are about 20 ft long.

[Sadjo]

When I propose a course, I have the price of the baskets and shipping included and the cost of Fly-18 pads. The small print after each proposal (I do three-tier proposals) include the option of using cement, crushed rock, asphalt or using earth tees.

Normally the presentation is focused on what Disc Golf can do for a community...bringing money in through tourism, tournaments, giving kids another activity and it's low cost compared to other sports and activities. I also include info on the low cost of maintenance.

Mega tee pad! Just for fun.http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course_pics/3228/65903ff4.jpg

I've played a Shawshank where the 2011 U.S.Masters will be played and they have real nice rubber tee pads with great tracktion,sorry I don't have a picture to show you.

I played MacKenzie Park in Lubbock, TX last week, and couldn't get over how long some of the tees were, and they were tapered as well. Pretty awesome if you ask me:

no that's not me, it's from the media on this site.

[DavidSauls]

How stealable are rubber pads? Owens Field had them at one time, not fastened down, and apparently there were folks around the neighborhood who found them useful for something other than disc golf. How can they be anchored to not be stolen?

Which is another way of saying, depending on where the course is located, Fly-18 pads may not be a good option.

Those pads are like 15-20 feet long. I think I would opt for a little shorter, and a little wider.

also great shorts. dricka.

yeah, pads that long or as wide as the ones posted above are frankly a waste of concrete ($$).

i'd start at, and price out, 4x8, then go from there.

[kcnickster]

The tees are concrete are shaped to match the fairways, neat idea but not sure if it's a good use of concrete. The course is sickly long so a long tee puts you just a little closer:)

I thought I read about these somewhere in it's own thread, but I can't find it. These are some teepads that are at a new course near the beach in NC. Anyone have much experience with them? And what are they called?

Yep...I posted in other thread.Thanks Bro D!!! I can't wait to get over and test this new course out!

The tee pads at River Walk in Corona,Ca. Danger has posted a pic of the first and they get better as you go on.

That pole on the right would severely cramp my runup (I start off the pad on the right).

[CFH-mn]

6x15 ft is plenty of pad for a 280' downhill throw
do a run up only if you want your disc threw the woods across the road into the pond... :doh: ive done it!
the box on the pole is a IR game camera... to catch vandals!

[ssagurit36]

Your idea is great and also with the IR game camera. Is it D.I.Y surveillance camera?

Thanks

New pads at Kaposia! All of them? If so, sick! Have they gotten 27 perminent in yet? It was my home course for about 8 years before I moved, then it turned into 24 holes and pay to play. I liked the old layout better, the last 3 holes are weak sauce in my opinion.

Has anybody ever used or seen permeable paving bricks for tees? I've seen them used in new shopping center parking lots. They're like interlocking "L's" that leave a hole between the bricks. The eco-idea is that water goes through the "pavement" rather then being funneled off into storm drains. I though they might work well for tees as they would let water through rather then sitting on top.

[gwillim]

These aren't the "L" bricks that you're talking about. They are 1'x1' squares, but they seem to drain really well, and they are just as solid, level, and grippy as concrete if installed correctly. I also think they look nicer than concrete as well...http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course_pics/4170/6db19139.jpg

I've seen them. And they do work well, the only problem is they absolutely have to be done right. I'm not sure if there is much maintenance involved, but if they are not done right, A couple years down the road they can be a mess. You can definitely find them cheap. There is a guy around us that owns a landscaping business who would probably be willing to donate for some sort of sponsorship possibility. He's got scraps all over that are just laying around.

I agree.........Central park in Oakbrook IL has rubber tees that are screwed into the rubber frame (like 50+screws and washers)

They look great, but they pose two problems

1. because of the drastic changes in weather around Chicago the rubber contracts and restricts depending on how hot or cold it is. This has already caused one teepad to start ripping away and another is close.

2. because they are screwed down and can't be taken up, underneath instead of limestone there is a wooden (deck frame if you will). And this is a minor complaint, but because there is wood underneath you get standing water underneath so when it rains the teepads stay slick longer. Basically it takes longer to dry out and for the few pads that are in the shade it takes even longer. They were done this way so that there would be no maintenance from the parks side (a selling point i guess).....They are great tee's, but I would rather have the limestone underneath, but if you go that route people could definitely steal one if they really wanted to. The crappy thing about that is the fact that through fly 18 you have to buy the rolls and you can't buy just one pad. Kind of a bummer

I'm not sure I understand why you think that would happen?

[gwillim]

Sorry, I originally thought you were referring to a step up to get on the pad or something. Now I'm sure you're referring to the brick seams not being flush.

The photos may make it look like the seems are a little separated and/or not level but in person they are flawless and the pads are totally level. There is no more of a tripping hazard than a cement pad.

[slicemaster]

surprised no one has posted these. Hasn't opened yet but I'm pretty sure these will be the best tees out there.

Try not to do crushed gravel/dirt as it can severely impact fun factor of your course. a la North Town

Props to that guy, those look beautiful.

Anybody have close up pics of Nevin or renny tee pads...........that was the best concrete I have ever thrown off of. Who ever did those did those right.........I'm no concrete expert, but the mix of that concrete seems very unique compared to other concrete tees across the country

Its not as much the mix as the care to float them and texture at the correct times. Actually Renny's have much larger agregate than Nevin. Sam N is awesome at floating and texturing teepads. We are so lucky to have him.

[zenbot]

Rabbit Flats has round tee pads. It doesn't force your run up in a particular direction and makes safari rounds easier.
