Executing The Dream

[Menacewarf]

I think the video came out pretty well though it is a bit long. I will do the final edits late tonight or in the morning and get it up soon.

I'm Going to start a thread in the main forum for this video.

nice work bro. maybe i just have an eye for wizards, but what did throw the last shot of the first video? my guess, 175 S wizard, fathers day stamp perhaps... looks good, kind of a bummer you have to move 2. its a fun hole thats easy to over think but not always easy to execute.

[JAKE master]

how many holes have you put in up to date? seems about 30. its exhausting to have a constant pursuit of a champion caliper course. i admire your ability to take criticism and suggestions to make the course better, even if it feels like wasted effort sometimes, ie hole 2...
suggestions from the likes of david and others created some better playing fairways, as well as options for some mundane ones.( playing holes in reverse, hanging/ elevated baskets) thinking about what i think is 4 now playing up over the stone wall. when i played the org 18, 2 holes compiled the same space, of current hole 4, but in reverse. it looks more appealing now.
this has got me anxious to get up there. keep on truckin

Yea It can be a bit mind boggeling to play the "what hole has more value" game when shuffling everything around like a puzzle. I have been trying to minimize carving out fairways which I work on and don't use for golf but it is kind of inevitable. It's hard to see things long to sometimes, particulary when your vision for the goal might kind of change mid stream. The good news is any unused disc golf fairways will become x country ski trails.

For example....you bring up hole two. Only this winter have I realized one of my goals is to have tournaments here. When I put in hole two I did it real quick, it didnt require much cutting and my thought was, get up the hill as quick as possible. Well after I realized I was trying to make the place tourney ready i started taking a much closer look at my buffers for tee pads, greens, and fairways. This is one place that will need adjustment though the only real labor involved in the new hole 2 is I'm going to dig a hiking trail which will take me 10-20 hours (possibly soon between snow melt and bugs). Besides that I only have to cut two or three trees.

I think you will like the new spot. It enables 1 to slide up the creek, away from the finall hole (buffers). It is a slightly shorter steep pitch up by just a few feet but the gap is also slightly smaller. The basket can be placed in a viewable spot like in the video for a easier hole or moved left 40 feet to make it a trickier hyzer.

BTW not necessarily going for a championship leval coure. I would like a tourney ready one but to me it's much more important that it be well designed, ballenced, feedback driven, geared for a certain skill level (hopefully in two seperate segments like I mentioned), while ballenicng fun across the skil levels as appropriately as possible. Other goals are to stay in harmony with the immediate environment. IE....don't encroach on the neighbors, selective wood lot management, different functionalities through different seasons...ect.

This looks exciting. Is this course open to the public and if so is the snow melted enough to be playable? I'm checking out courses waiting for Killington and Sugarbush to melt.

JK. Love that video and I have some musical connections to the squirrel nut zippers. Love those guys.

Not open to the public yet but open to disc golfers vetted by being part of a/the disc community. Would love to play some golf and show you the property if you are ever in the area.

[StevenFoster]

I have to be vetted? You mean like a horse?

I checked out the course by GPS a month ago, saw the pole holes, but thought I would check with you before playing it. I'll just wait for the first tourney.

Thanks, good luck with this project.
