Entire Course Stolen

[Tripper]

Have you seen Alaska: The Last Frontier? Those folks will re-purpose anything and everything. Someone needed a bunch of metal for a project and knew just where to get it.

Will be watching Deadliest Catch for the crab pot made out of DG baskets now.

Good place to start looking. I will keep an eye on those crafty Kilchers on Last Frontier.

Is there any chance these were insured by some entity? Are baskets ever covered under insurance, such as those in a city park?

 

[Major Tomahawk]

GPS markers hidden down in the pole would be a good idea for any course.

Basket thieves are the worst of the worst. They deserve to be dragged out into the street and shot.

 

[oddjob]

The club should buy a hunting rifle or 2.

fyp.

 

[THUGNIFICENT763]

The club should put out new baskets with pianos and cartoon anvils suspended above them via a complex system of ropes and pulleys! Ever watch Looney Tunes? That shizzle really works, unless you are Wile E. Coyote or something.

I highly doubt it was one person. That would be hard to do. It was a group imo.

Put up some flyers for a reward for information. There's no honor among thieves.

Possibility it ticked off the indigenous people in some way like burial grounds?

I think I remember hearing about an object course in Victoria, B.C. on Vancouver Island, and the local players were using some old historic Totem poles in a park as some of the targets. This did not go over well with the indigenous locals, and they put a quick stop to it. Those things are sacred to them.

I'm guessing the course in this thread is an object course, I can't picture someone stealing 18 baskets, as previously said it would have to be a big group effort.

This is such a bummer.

Sidenote: I doubt scrap metal thieves because steel is fetching about $0.01/lb (at least in NC).

 

[halfchub]

And now someone has a cheap, new, awesome private course.

given the reputation of disc golfers as stoners. are we sure they didn't just forget where the course is?

Bwahahaha, too funny. "Dude, they even filled in the holes, it is like a course never existed here!"

In a similar vein, I honestly kinda wonder if the local Park and Rec dept didn't just decide to pull the courses and chose not to tell the disc golf club. I mean, who else would take the mounts and fill in the holes too?

::waits for cross country ski or dog sled advocate group to show up::

 

[Jukeshoe]

Wow. Man, that sucks...:thmbdown:

 

[THUGNIFICENT763]

Dude, Where's My Course?

There would have to be some serious organization, pre-planning, etc, to make this (all 18 holes removed) happen. From security, lookouts, man power, etc. I'm guessing a group of locals who didn't get their way in the voting process took out their revenge. Could have been the folks who lobbied the land for something else financed it.
