Textbook example of an irresponsibly designed hole, and what can be done to make it safer.
Hope she heals up nicely.
Disc Golf Talked About On a Cubs Broadcast
From dgpromo
You are mentioned during Cubs Broadcast !!!
Hello Valkyrie Kid,
The Cubs game announcer mentions you and your nickname (5/8/19) during the broadcast. (And does a short blurb on disc golf.)
It is currently on youtube Cubs Disc Golf
Record this....congrats.

Some history.
My son, Quinn Wolcott, is a Major League Baseball umpire. My smart ass son in law, who is a federal agent, loves to dish on me about my disc golf courses played addiction and about how all disc golfers are dope smoking hippies, etc. etc. Although, I occasionally get him out to a course with me.
Anyway, as a big joke, he added to Quinn's Wikipedia page that Quinn's father is a legend in the Disc Golf Community. Quinn was recently working the plate during a Cubs game and the broadcasters had actually done some research, checking his wikopedia page and commented on Quinn's father, the Valkyrie Kid being a legend. (If they could only see me throw).
Anyway, they discussed disc golf for part of an inning, actually showed a basket, etc. Quinn sent me the Facebook link but I have no idea how to post the link. Maybe one of you can post the link.

Dougy B represent'n…
They mentioned that vkid is a legend in the Disc Golf community..... they forgot to mention why. They could of added that he is even more of a legend on this site, where he is known for writing more reviews on courses than anyone else and is also known for playing any course that gets in his way, no matter how crappy the course.
Sounds like another one of us going on about how we despise poorly designed courses that incorporate playgrounds in the design. It's obvious here that the playground should indeed be moved.

One should consider all the alternatives when problem solving.

Nice job there Cubby announcers!
Thought it was funny the closed captioning spelled Valkyrie correctly, but used the wrong Disk!! :wall:
If you look closely in this news report on Hitzman Optimist Park in Pensacola, you can see the park's disc golf baskets, in this story of the Satanic Temple sponsoring the park...LoL:
https://weartv.com/news/local/satanic-temple-adopts-pensacola-park
No word on if basket 6 will be re-numbered to 666.

Speaking of The Valkyrie Kid (and yes, I've encountered him on one of his course visits in my area!), here's one of his cons listed for that Spokane course with the playground incident. The review was five years ago:
>>I guess inexperienced players could hyzer their shot into the playground on # 2.<<
>>I guess inexperienced players could hyzer their shot into the playground on # 2.<<
Seeing the Cubs clip makes me nostalgic for Harry Caray. "Valkyrie Kid spelled backwards is Dick Eerieklav!"

Not necessarily "in the news" but watched an episode of Insane Pools:Off the Deep End the other day and Lucas Lagoons was building an epic pool for PDGA #9999 Ron Russell https://www.facebook.com/PrattGuys/...leting-the-ron-russell-pro/10160699978975381/

So the edge of the pool was narrow on one end and thick on the other?
Yes and it flies like crap.

I looked up his PDGA stats and see he was inactive from 2007-2019 with his only tourney being the one he sponsored this year. Apparently, the roofing business in Florida is quite lucrative. Who knew?
