So, a couple local homeowners bordering our local course are upset about hole #5 being too close. I've already moved it once, and so it's now 100+ feet away from any fence line.
Here is youtube video of hole #5 and a map.

Allegedly the homeowners are upset about people throwing their discs in their yards, but in 200 games playing , I've never seen anybody throw into a yard for hole #4. For Hole #5, under old design when basket was 65 feet away, I did see it happen a couple times.
I think the real reason is, they feel like they owned the park and never saw anyone they .didn't know near their fence line. In fact, they told me multiple times, they bought their houses by the park because they never expected it to actually be utilized by the general public.
I took hole #5 basket out until I can get signage, or come up with a solution, just to show the city that we respect concerns, and will evaluate options.
I've thought about putting the basket back, but adding a MANDO post 80 feet from the fence line and/or an OB line 30 feet from their fence line to further dissuade shots anywhere near the fence line. That would be considered due diligence I believe.
