Yup, that's a score. Now go find some unused tire chains and you'll be world class.

Awesome homemade baskets everyone!
Posted this up in a DIY thread and it was suggested to post it up here as well. This is my DIY basket. I used a fake xmas tree that was no longer being used along with some methods taken from the "wilson" basket. Thanks!

Even though you can buy one for what you can build one, there is just something about making it yourself. IT will be one of a kind. When I finally move out of this apartment and get a house with a garage, I am going to build me a basket for my yard.
Love seeing these baskets guys, you all did good work.

These are some crazy baskets!
Those are some tough looking baskets, disc golf outside a biker bar?
I would be worried about disc damage in a few areas, otherwise it is amazing

Here's one that is not quite finished yet. I did some temp modding to see how it would look and if it would catch well.

Top and bottom of basket matches up with diameter of regulation baskets. Top and bottom are deeper than normal baskets but "hanging basket design" opens up the top of the basket for hoops type of shots and allows tommy/thumbers to enter from the top. Metal baskets are also coated with a green plastic type dip material that is designed to prevent rust.
18 Zinc Plated (I know, but galvanized was more $$$) outer chains held by temp thick gauge wires.
Concrete filled bucket with pipe sticking out
Tomahawk Basket
Test #1 Results.....Sweet. All "good" putts from 20-30 feet out stuck to the 18 chains perfect. Better than I thought they would. Tried a couple basketball shots and they went in just as planned. Has potential for tommy/thumber aces.
Moving forward to add perm hooks on top and wire for bottom to prevent fall/slip through from gaps. Also to secure both to pole with bolts etc.
I have enough materials for 8 of these Tommy Baskets to go in at our course.

Your link is FUBAR donny. You can upload a photo using the "Advanced" editor (under manage attachments) or link to it from flickr, Picasa, Photobucket, etc. (clicking the
button) but you can't link to a photo from your PC.
That worked. Interesting design. What was the total cost?
