Not the 90's clothing stores, those seem to be closing on their own. No, I'm talking about ways to close up a gap that you want to prevent players from throwing.
One of the longer holes at my home course plays alongside a property line. As the course got popular this year, more and more discs started finding their way into a neighbor's (treeline-protected) yard. Mostly from casuals and coronavirus newbies. He put up a fence, and we opened up new gaps to the pin to stop players from throwing that way. But we just got word that there's damage to his fence from people jumping it to retrieve discs. He's already been in contact with the city to complain.
I think one of the biggest reasons people are still throwing over his fence is that the original, largest gap on the hole is maybe 40' from his property line. Miss your line and get unlucky enough to clear the trees, and you're in his yard.
Has anybody ever tried to close up a previously open gap? What did you do? For reference the gap is probably about 30' wide, with large mature trees on both sides.
