I have 2 questions. Are you going to be playing anywhere near Spokane Wa this year? I have never been to a pro event and would love to plan a trip with my GF that incorporates watching a tourny...

2nd. I recently gained access to 15 acres of land that has multiple elevation changes as well as a 100 foot cliff that runs along the edge of the property. I have purchased 6 baskets and am making 3 hanging baskets. The plan is to use each basket 2x but from different directions/elevations. What advise do you have for someone who is designing their 1st course?

Sorry for the slight threadjack, but Nate, you missed out last Sept. buddy. Nikko, Will Schuesterick, and Kyle Crabtree (although he is at most of our tournies) were in town and put on a great show

i don't believe i will be making it to washington this year, you guys should go to a event regardless to just watch and support.

i wouldn't recommend hanging baskets, i also don't think they are pdga legal if you ever want to have a even. I have never designed a course but i would say make as much variety as possible wooded to open open to wooded uphill down hill just keep people guessing whats coming next.

And have tried others that didn't work for you...

Thanks Mort

No worries! Figured it was old news, but worth a shot.

If you're talking about Morley, that is definitely one of the worst courses I have ever played in regards to drugs being used. Kit Carson and Brengle Terrace in north county aren't NEARLY as bad. I'd safely say that 9/10 times I go to either of those courses I don't run into anyone blatantly using drugs. Whereas every time I've been to Morley I've seen people using drugs.

When you say 'drugs' do you mean substances other than pot? Just curious.

I've never seen use of any drugs other than pot at any courses. But I wouldn't be all that surprised if I were to see it at Morley. The pot smokers there aren't very discrete (as compared to every other course I've played), so I wouldn't be surprised if I did see use of any other drugs there. But the guy was talking about not being able to bring his 7 year old out, so I'm sure pot was the deal-breaker there.
