I'm closing this thread and starting a new one here. Tim wants threads that get over 5000 posts closed up, it has nothing to do with the content or anything, it's just for site performance. Pretend the new one is just a continuation of this one.



So you're saying that the amount of activity this thread received caused the site to perform inadequate? http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc243/Star_Valkyrie/coolsmiley.gif

[mashnut]

Pretty much, I believe it's in the top ten individual threads on the site. A bunch of the big landfill threads got closed and part 2ed as well.

[RPS2012]

What type of courses are down in Tennessee? And imma have to say Texas trumps all of you guys =D

[hognosesucker]

Cedar Hill is one of my favs in Nashville TN (moderately wooded,very hilly). I'll eventually get down to Bud Hill and the Meeman Shelbys. I believe Eastern TN is more mountainous, and probably has some awesome golf, especially in the secretive private course arena.

The more I play in MO, the better it gets. The public stuff around STL is all good and I'm sure KC is the same way, and the private stuff out there is rockin(ie Ozark,Akitas and one more on the way on the McCormack property and Jumpin Joe's DGC)! I just got a line on 5 private courses around Columbia,MO that I'm excited to play eventually.

East TN actually have more open courses. There are a few wooded ones in Knoxville.

Chatt has the sinks which is all woods

Middle TN we have most of the courses that people talk about here. Cedar Hill, 7 Oaks, Sharp Springs and some very nice private courses. Most of them are wooded with a few open holes.

West TN I have only played a few. Bud Hill was a great course with both open and wooded holes.

All in all a lot of good mix at every course.


I also agree with the MO aspect. I got to play a lot there when I lived there last year. Dave McCormick's courses were awesome. I lived in Rolla with a great new course there.

I think I actually played with you at Lions Club, threeputt was showing tallpaul,his buddy and I the course and you came in for the back nine or something.

Did you see Dave is going to put a 3rd course out there? Sound cool, par 63,I think.

re: TN-cedar hill is awesome,I liked 7 oaks a lot too. I'd like to hit Smyrna and the area private course too next time.

[mashnut]

Just played BlueGill, solid private course with some sweet water shots and elevation.

[Jukeshoe]

How was the tourney? How'd you guys do? End up getting to Oshtemo?

*pesters Mashy w/ questions*

Edit: Incidentally, GDBP and I are still hitting up a couple courses tomorrow if you're interested...

[mashnut]

I played terribly, got a mediocre partner so we didn't do all that well, had a good time though on a sweet course. We didn't have time to make it to Oshtemo so we played another round at bluegill, I'll probably rate it at least a 4, it's close to being a 4.5 for me. Shoot me the details about tomorrow, I should be able to make it out at least for the morning.

[Jukeshoe]

Sucks re the tourney, but at least you bagged another good course! :)

Shot ya a pm re: plans tomorrow.

O ya I remember that. Wish it could have been longer round.

I did see that on FB somewhere. He has more then enough room to make another one. I just really hope his family doesn't get rid of that farm. His Uncle that lives out there is an awesome funny old man. haha

If you did make it back I can take you to a few Private ones if you wanted.

It's absolutely miserable when the rough is long, I won't ever play that course again when it's grown in.

Hello,
I'm John born and raised in Chicago, moved to Wisconsin in the 80's, return to Northwest suburbs every other week, was wondering if you guys ever have small get togethers for rounds on the weekends.
I have been playing for a few years but am not any good, but love to throw plastic.

A lot of folks tend to play the Joliet area courses, and occasionally we head up to Grey Fox. I hit up the northwest suburbs on a fairly regular basis, post here when and where and you might get some company.

[icedpuck]

Yes, I noticed that those seemed like better courses, was planning on going down there, Merango, il looks good and def going to play both foxes. Hopefully by the end of the year I will have 100 courses under my belt.

[RPS2012]

Is anyone else playing Dana's icebowl or no?

[Arocep]

Heading to Avery park... will be there til dark. hit me up at 630 780 9989 to join.

Marengo is a lot of fun with some challenging and interesting variety. Grey Fox is usually set up half in longs and half in shorts, that's a fun layout with some birdies and some tough shots. When it's set up in all longs it's a beast.

[notroman]

I'm going down there with a bunch of friends. Gonna be a cold one. Should be fun.

[GoodDriveBadPutt]

I wish I could make it, gonna be babysitting all day.

Great opportunity for some fieldwork at least.

Less elevation and a little wilder rough at Marengo, I like Zobel better but Marengo is still solid.

Yeah, uh, Zobel is most likely better than anything Chicagoland has to offer. Just so you're not disappointed. ;)

I heard it was pulled due to muddy conditions.

Dretzka should be back in today or tomorrow. Ice Bowl on Saturday.

Watch out everyone - just bought some blizzard destroyers, gonna be crazy

[gkeberhart]

you dont need that light weight stuff unless you want to have a 150 class battle, that would be fun

[GoodDriveBadPutt]

Matrix, when are you playing next, I am skeptical that you are as good as you say you are. :\

[chainbangerslanger]

sounds like a threat to me i wanna see this duel in action maybe get some bets going

[mashnut]

I've got some aces and chains funny money, I might try some of the blizzard stuff if I get down that way this weekend. On that note, anyone want to play Joliet tomorrow or Sunday?

[GoodDriveBadPutt]

I want to play tomorrow big time; but I might not be able to in the morning. What were you thinking? I can try to get a sitter too.

[notroman]

Matt, I might join you. I cancelled my Pine Hills plans - forecast now calling for gusts to 30 and below zero wind chills... I just don't want to pay to play in those conditions.

[Jukeshoe]

I'd probably be down for Joliet tomorrow or Sunday. Was also thinking of bagging a couple of courses between LP and Joliet: Lovasko Memorial, Munster Community, Pulaski Park, Riverfront.

I've heard conflicting information regarding both Lovasko and Riverfront. Some sources say they're pulled, but other sources say there were pulled a while ago but *should* be back in the ground.

Anyone have up-to-date information on these two courses?

[mashnut]

Tomorrow is supposed to be just below freezing, shouldn't get too slushy/muddy. I have no idea what's up with those courses Juke, I haven't played them in a few years. I'm down for whatever, I was thinking a zeppelin round at West might be fun but I'm open to whatever, I just want to make a quick stop at Aces and Chains at some point.

[RPS2012]

Mark and I are still heading to Pine Hills so thattl be fun 2morrow HA!

Supposed to be WELL below freezing tomorrow :) Hope you dress accordingly. There's no way there's going to be any mud. A bit of snow? maybe, but not enough to matter.

haters gonna hate.

I just looked up pictures of that course. Looks like it would be incredibly fun to play with an Ultrastar.

[RPS2012]

shot two rounds of -1 at pine hills today and got 4th =/ winner of intermediate was 2 rounds or -8...can you say move up?!!? Had 3 ace runs today one hit the basket and the others skipped close. Over all an awesome course that id play again!!

[Jukeshoe]

Good times at West with the full bag and Shorewood with a comet. 72 holes in some mighty crisp weather! :cool:

[WorldsCoolestGuy]

It was chilly,

[mashnut]

"Shorewood: So lame we have to make up stupid rules to make it kinda/sorta OK-ish." :|

It's actually a fun superclass/putter only course, especially in winter when all the giant groups of chuckers aren't out there.

You'll have to check out the big version of the course, I've heard today's layout is significantly shorter than the warm weather layout.

yeah it was set up for the glow round Dana said. It was really fun tho and i like hole 3 with the mando and the par 4. I threw a roller with the monarch 1st round then roller with an echo archon. It was really fun tho and we got to drive carts :thmbup::p

[gkeberhart]

It's actually a fun superclass/putter only course, especially in winter when all the giant groups of chuckers aren't out there.

I have only played it a few times, once was with just a Buzzz and putter left handed...shot under. It's a good course to work on short shots but thats about it.

[jasonc]

In honor of Honest Abe's Birthday, I believe I am going to check out a "new-to-me" course or 2 on the way out of the big city this afternoon.

While trying to find something that is kinda sorta on the way home, there are just too many quality choices. How can I possibly pick just 1 or 2 between Lombard Commons, Maryknoll, Castaldo, Four Lakes, Randall Oaks, and Village Center. :confused: :sick: :wall:

Anyone else getting out there today?

[GoodDriveBadPutt]

Randall oaks is the best one, by far. Can get pretty windy though, even on 'calm' days.

Four lakes is probably out of the ground right now (just guessing).

Village center, I've been meaning to hit up. I haven't been there since they revised the layout.

Castaldo is decent, I haven't been since they cleared a bunch of trees down, still some decent holes on the back. Maryknoll and commons are pretty similar, pretty open with a few trees and hills here and there. I like commons better but that's probably some HBB.




But, as our pal 3putt would say, all those courses suck.

The only one listed that I have played is Randall oaks. Nice little 10 hole. course. Watch out for the sing that is off the left side of the fairway on hole 8. It's a thin metel sign parallel with the way your throwing. My buddy drove a X XL into it and put a one inch cut in it.

I was also going to suggest Black Bear (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=3671) but I see you already have played it.

[Jukeshoe]

Yes, I know they all suck. That's why I am not wasting a day with good weather on any of 'em. ;)

Some day, I will mark all Chicagoland area courses off my list....even all of the crappy courses.

GDBP & Steveo, thanks for the tips! Whichever ones I do not see today will probably happen next Monday afternoon while celebrating President's Day! :thmbup:

Now I just need to line up a few more for Pulaski Day....:|

[jasonc]

I was also going to suggest Black Bear (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=3671) but I see you already have played it.

Yeeep, no need to head back there unless they make some improvements.

[WorldsCoolestGuy]

Black bear isn't that bad... It's a fun putter/mid course with the wettest water around.;)

[GoodDriveBadPutt]

Hey now, I never said they suck!!!!!!!! LBC 4 Lyfe!!! :|

[WorldsCoolestGuy]

It's tough throwing down at da LBC...:|

[mashnut]

Village Center is marginally more interesting than the old layout, but even more crammed in for the first few holes. The last few after the long walk are the same.

[GoodDriveBadPutt]

Haha, the loooooong wall to the police station.

[mashnut]

And an even longer walk back again.

[Jukeshoe]

Anyone else planning on playing the Frozen Tundra BYO partner doubles tourney @ Lemon Lake this Sunday? :popcorn:

I think we've got WCG, Jrock, GDBP and myself...Mashy? You and Ashleigh in? :popcorn:

Should prove to be a good time...Red and Silver are the courses.

[mashnut]

37 and sunny, looks like a pretty nice day for it. Not sure yet, but I'd love to do it again.

[Jukeshoe]

*steadily applies peer pressure*


Edit: I was actually hoping for epic, horrific conditions. I feel like it would give me a competitive advantage. :rolleyes:

[notroman]

If there's not too much snow out there and the weather is nice I might be able to drag my buddy out for the day. We'll see how much melts before then.

[Skunk]

I wanted to play Lemon Lake this weekend but I have 2 things against me...no partner and I have my kids.

[mashnut]

Get a partner, use the kids for spotters. Problems solved.

[Jukeshoe]

Kid + Kid = Partner. I'm pretty sure it's in the rules. :| ;)

[Skunk]

I wish it were that simple. My daughter is sick right now and may not be better by the weekend.

[mashnut]

Kid + Kid = Partner. I'm pretty sure it's in the rules. :| ;)

But only if one sits on the other's shoulders and they wear a really long trench coat.

This last Sunday there was barely any snow... So unless it dumps throughout the week should be more than nice.

[jasonc]

Village Center is marginally more interesting than the old layout, but even more crammed in for the first few holes. The last few after the long walk are the same.

Yes, holes 1-8 on the front "half" of the course seemed extremely crammed in there.

At least you get a nice view of the river on the long walk. Although I was the only one playing disc golf, I had to compete with the geese on several holes. They were not happy to see me on their turf yesterday.

Randall Oaks was much nicer except for the long walk from the parking lot. The lots adjacent to the course were not open for business yesterday, so I had to park by the petting zoo and started my round on Hole #8. I'd like to go back there and check it out during some warmer weather.

I managed to throw my drive under #2's basket at Randall Oaks. Looked like it was headed for the chains until it dropped and came to rest about 20'-25' past the pin. I've thrown plenty of putts and upshots that flew under the basket, but this is the only drive I can remember where it happened like that.

[steveo69]

Hay guys I'm thinking I may have time to check out a course I have not played tomarrow afternoon. I will be in the wheeling/highland park area. What would you recomend?

[mashnut]

You could pair up the two in Buffalo Grove: Twin Creeks and Willow Stream. One's a really bad course with some silly short holes and the other's a slightly above average Chicago 9er with a couple nice long holes and a touch of elevation on a couple shots.

I have already played both of them meny times I was looking for something new. I have not played any of the three or four in highland park are they worth trying out? I have also played the ten hole thats just off 294.

[GoodDriveBadPutt]

Willow stream... Where it all began for me...

The highland park/glencoe courses are pretty much on the same level as well.

[steveo69]

Thanks for the imput guys. Is anyone going to be out that way and have time to get a round in, in the afternoon?

[mashnut]

What time? I could be up that way around 3:30-4. Fink (in Highland Park) is the quickest for me to get to from here in the city but I could make it to any of them in that area.

[steveo69]

I'm thinking about that time. I have a job to do in wheeling and as soon as it's done I will be playing. But there is really no way to say for sure what time it will be done. I could PM you to let you know what time I will be there when I see how the day goes. I will also have a freind/co-worker of mine that is not a DGCR member that will be playing with me also.

[notroman]

Unfortunately I'll be working in Lisle tomorrow, otherwise I'd join you guys :)

If you end up hitting up Fink, play safari! I like playing regular 1 and 2 to start, then 9 tee to 4 basket, 5 tee to 6 basket, 7 tee to 4 basket, 8 tee to 9 basket.

I think I'm headed up to Buffalo Grove tomorrow after work to get some test throws with the blizzard wraith and boss I bought over the weekend if anyone wants to join me. I plan on being there around 4 and staying until it gets dark.

[Dana]

Thor is running it.

(and I'm not sure what tees)

[notroman]

I must know now! This will influence my decision of playing greatly.

Wait... No it won't.

[RPS2012]

You know what tees they're playing? I asked Boster on his Facebook page but he didn't answer.

he usually doesnt answer my stuff on there but i think am is playing shorts then longs and pros are playing longs and maybe some other tees? I have no clue i dont have enough to play there. I might hit up Pine Hills or maybe even Sinnissippi area

Had a good time throwing with you today! I will not be out that way tomarrow. But like I said come April and after I will be at BG just about every day.

[notroman]

Had a good time throwing with you today! I will not be out that way tomarrow. But like I said come April and after I will be at BG just about every day.

Maybe you'll play our leagues. We usually run them Monday nights.

[steveo69]

Maybe you'll play our leagues. We usually run them Monday nights.

I will have to do that. Are they dubbles? Whats the cost? What time? I will be working at the townhomes right on the corner of 83 and BG rd. So we hit it up nearly everyday after work.

[notroman]

Usually start it in the spring as guys start coming back home from school. If we start early in the spring, the tee time will start off at 5pm then gradually go up to 6pm as we get more daylight.

Cost is usually $5 plus $1 optional CTP and $1 optional ace. Random draw best shot doubles. We have blue and red alternate tees that we play in addition to the regular concretes. Might make more alts for this year, who knows. We're always coming up with fun alts but usually the course is so busy in the summer that you can't play the longer ones.

[steveo69]

Cool! Thats about the time I would be there anyway. How meny guys come on an average week? Dose the payout all go to the winners or top three? Sorry if I sound like a noob but I have never played in one. :o

[notroman]

The league is pretty low attendance. Usually less than 20 people in the summer months. If there's less than 10 people, usually only the winners get paid. As we get over that number, the number of people paid out bumps up to top two, top three, and so on.

[GoodDriveBadPutt]

played the cave last night....awesome experience

Man, I have GOT to make it back down there. Wish I knew about it over thanksgiving and Xmas break.

[jcrab66]

any travel tag peeps going to be at oakbrook doubles saturday? Looks like i will be there with #22 if anyone wants to swap...

[Dana]

Thank again for comin out. If you liked hole 3, wait till you see the real deal layout.

Also- Pine Hills Disc Golf Course is closed for the time being. Its too wet. I'll post here when I get the baskets back out!

Ashleigh had to make an unexpected trip to Oklahoma for family stuff, so I'm alone this weekend, if I don't find somebody tonight I'll probably check out their local board tomorrow.

[Jukeshoe]

He could be your caddy! :)

[Skunk]

Lulz!

[notroman]

Gotta warn you Matt, my game was way off today. Snap timing was all wrong and it was causing chaos. Hopefully tomorrow is a new day :p I'll bring beer just in case.

[mashnut]

Ha, I was up and down today. I had some rounds where I was hitting a bunch of putts, and one round where I bogeyed 6 holes in a row thanks to a bunch of missed short putts.

[Jukeshoe]

I saved my strength for tomorrow. :|




That and I was a bit crispy this morning. :o

[mashnut]

Should have headed up here, it was nice and toasty out!

[Jukeshoe]

Yeah, I uh, didn't wake up until rather late-ish. :D

[Jukeshoe]

Blindshoe: <---*gropes blindly for the exit*

[GoodDriveBadPutt]

Good news JS, the blizzard Wraith is definitely going in the bag. Got to throw it around earlier, was pretty consistent.

I had some bommmb throws with a blizzard Katana, holy hell. Way too inconsistent, though, not worth the risk at a tourney. But damn!

Putting, though.. ehhhh...... we'll see how it goes.

[dahig]

one big ol' THANK YOU from myself and all the players who will be able to tee off of a sweet concrete pad down here on the centralia course boys!!
eric, roman, alan and jason all pulled together to sponsor pad #5 (you'll be glad to know it is one of three top three toughest holes on the course).
now we need to figure a weekend when you guys can come huck some plastic into the trees from your tee!! :)

Roman and I are out for lemon lake, he's sick. Good luck today guys!

[TheArnoldPalmer]

Damn mash... Ecpenguins got the flu too :/

I'm leaving the house in a few min.

[mashnut]

I know just about everyone is out at Lemon Lake, I'm thinking of heading up to Grey Fox in an hour or so for a couple rounds if anyone is interested.

[GoodDriveBadPutt]

Juke is still waiting for you by red; I'll go let him know.

[steveo69]

I know just about everyone is out at Lemon Lake, I'm thinking of heading up to Grey Fox in an hour or so for a couple rounds if anyone is interested.

I would love to but I need to hang with the fam and do some things around the house. Have fun!

[mashnut]

I did have fun, it was a beautiful day up there today. I didn't throw all that well, short putts were my nemesis today again. I shot 3 rounds on Grey Fox, ended up +6, +2 and +5, not very good for a mixed layout. I did hit metal on a couple shots on Red though :D

Thats a lot better than I throw there I average +8 to +9 (calling them all par three).

[RPS2012]

anybody doing naything tomorrow? I wanna play somewhere really bad! And my partner and i shot -11 at eagle for leagues and I hit metal on 2 holes and mark on 1. Ace pot is about $200 and saturday leagues are gonna be at jericho! ace race course!!!

[ecpenguin]

TheArnoldPalmer is a CTP machine. He based hole 1 on the red course to take home the 50/50 cash CTP worth $75.

http://i.imgur.com/YMfOM.jpg

Then, after the Ace Pot for Rec goes unhit, he bases the playoff CTP for another 60 bones! (beating 40 people to do so).

To top it off, he carried my sorry, flu-ridden corpse into third place for another 40 dollars.

I hereby declare February 19th TheArnoldPalmer Day.

[WorldsCoolestGuy]

I think I'm gonna be sick after the amount of missed birdie opportunities we left out there. I'm gonna go throw up...:sick:










EDIT: Great job to the Oakbrook crew for handling LL!:thmbup::hfive:

[BionicRib]

who took it out there from OB?

[ecpenguin]

who took it out there from OB?

Peter R. and Dan R. took first with -10.

Derek and Tim took second with -9.

Mark (TheArnoldPalmer) and I took third with -6.

Mike N. and Luigi N. took forth with -4.

It was pretty much a clean sweep for Oak Brook Disc Golf in Rec.

[BionicRib]

[matrix2113]

I thought noe was playing with Peter?

[Skunk]

I wish I could have played. I asked BionicRib to be my partner....but he had to work. I had my kids anyway so I guess it worked out.

[BionicRib]

[Skunk]

Crap....gimme a few minutes. I'll put them up in here.

[BionicRib]

I got a guy buggin me for it for 40, but I really would rather trade it........

[Skunk]

Do you want me to post all 3 that I have or the one that I would be willing to trade?

[Skunk]

Ok....this one is not tradable. 11x 173g

http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc243/Star_Valkyrie/DSC_0785.jpg


This one is a maybe but not likely (winter disc). 10x 174g

http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc243/Star_Valkyrie/DSC_0784.jpg


This one I want to get rid of. 10x 172g

[RPS2012]

how stable is the last one? =)

[BionicRib]

I like the first one...........why did you put it up there if its not on the market?........The other two would have to come in a package deal. That ten time looks beat.........bare in mind that I have that ten time 173 eagle still

[Skunk]

how stable is the last one? =)


I've haven't thrown it yet.

[RPS2012]

alright if it is still stable ill think about it

[Skunk]

You didn't respond in time. ;)

I can't give the bottom 2 in a packaged deal....it would have to be really good. The middle one is practically new.

[Skunk]

alright if it is still stable ill think about it


It seems to be pretty beat in.

[ecpenguin]

How did none of us trade tags at Lemon Lake dubs yesterday?

[RPS2012]

heading to channby and maybe shorewood right now

[jasonc]

Anyone else have the day off or at least a shorter than normal day?

I'm thinking about checking out a few "new to me" courses today.

Castaldo Park (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=2753), Maryknoll Park (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=4480), and Lombard Commons (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=458) are on my list this afternoon.

Gotta check em out at least once or twice, right??? :confused::|:confused:

[TheArnoldPalmer]

what time were you thinking about heading by the commons? Shoot me a pm.
I could meet you over there for a lunch break round... Or if its later around 4ish, I can try to leave work early for the day.

A few of us central Illinois guys are looking to make a trip up to Joliet this week. We are looking to play Highland, Community and West Park. How are the conditions of the courses? Hopefully not a muddy mess! If we do make the trip we'd love to play with some fellow DGCR members!

[Jukeshoe]

As far as West Park goes...if it's above freezing, it'll be a frickin' mess. Haven't been to the other two in a bit, but the same rule of thumb applies, only less so (those courses are generally much less muddy).

Community Park in Channahon will be your best bet if it's sloppy. Frank Grimes takes fantastic care of that course.

A couple of guys at our leagues play Highland a lot. I'm afraid that course has the same problem as West Park, if it's above freezing, it will be a mess.

[DiscBiscuit]

Hey fellas
I am going to be in the schaumburg/itasca area for 3 weeks beginning feb 27. Im a descent shooter looking for some nice holes to glow at after work/training at canon school off of 294. Im out at 5 or 6, and will probably be a little thirsty as well.
Ill head home for the weekends, but will be there sunday-thurs.
I see a couple courses around the area, dont really know which one has what going on.
If anyone wants to meet up for a few holes, or if there is a league I could jump in it would be cool. Or, if someone could point me in a good dieection I would be grateful.

Peace
