Work Party Saturday 11/22 at Leverich Park (9 am)

[Wog]

We will be installing baskets, spreading a little bark dust around baskets, and gravel in the tee boxes next Saturday morning. Once the course is ready, we will have a little ceremony to mark the official opening of the course, followed by a Stumptown Bag Tag challenge and open golf at the course.

Come on out and take a chance at setting the course record and help build the newest disc golf course in the Portland metro area.

Leverich Park is located just 2 miles north of the Interstate Bridge off I-5.

A little ceremony? Will we be busting a bottle of champagne on a basket? What is the proper ceremony for a disc golf course? Someone tears a disc in half with their bare hands? Chuck Norris is a dick now, so... Pinkal?

Sorry... giddy. What time, Steve?

[Adam Schneider]

Big weekend for PDX-area disc golf: Leverich + Horning's = 30 new holes.

Now that you're working out, we'll just break the bottle on your abs. Hope you're doing lots of crunches!

[Sam]

Crunches... ugh...

What do you think should be included in a new disc golf course ceremony?

Ribbon Cutting
Smashing a something on a basket
Let me know

[Adam Schneider]

Smashing things doesn't sound like a great idea... although I recently saw a picture of a ceremony where they'd wrapped up the bottle in cloth so there wasn't broken glass everywhere.

Get some liquid nitrogen and dip a disc in it, then throw it into the chains!

[Sam]

If it is a disc golf course we're finishing up, I think the proper ceremony would be to have someone graffiti a bench, someone needs to break into someone's car in the parking lot while someone else steals a basket out of the ground - concrete and all.

Oh... and we'll need a knife fight...

[Pizzel]

How about a ceremonial first putt with discs that will be sent to the major sponsors? The discs could be signed by all in attendance.

Dumping a can of PBR on the basket? :laughing:

[zippyboy]

Just as long as the can doesn't get left on the basket (as happens at Trojan fairly often - stupid fishermen)...

I like it, are there any Stumptown wizards left?

[gwillim]

There are about 7, I think.

[Sam]

I have one that I would be happy to part with for some suds, Rick. I don't throw Wizards.

I love to take it off your hands, but I'm broke until after the 6th.

[Sam]

Feh... it's yours. You get me when you can. See you tomorrow. :cheers:

[gwillim]

Had a great time helping to finish the course and then playing. Thanks to everyone that showed up to "share the moment"!

If you've got a few minutes, why not go to Disc Golf Course Review (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=3019&mode=ci) and write a review of the course?!

Photos online now!

[Sam]

Wow. That was fast. I feel like I was just there. :laughing:

[Wog]

Thanks again for everyone's help. The course is a blast. It was just as busy Monday afternoon as it was on Sunday, which surprised me! See you on the course!

[Sam]

Great work, Steve. That course IS a blast and will do A LOT to alleviate Pier Pressure. Hell, it might become a destination course with the elevation and the proximity to the freeway.

Again... GREAT JOB. :yay:

[Wog]

For those that care (Sam), the tee sign on hole 8 now has the correct par on it.

Steve, you did a great job with the layout of the course. To all those that had a hand in getting the course in the ground, well done. I was able to take a few of the 'Nation down there to play Monday afternoon, and we enjoyed ourselves quite a bit. Managed to see a drug deal in the parking lot before we started, but if disc golfers keep showing up in the numbers they did on Monday, I get the feeling that will be happening less and less. And good Lord, those kids had no clue how to act innocent. Couldn't have been more suspicious had they tried... The homeless community under the tree by the 4th (?) tee seemed pretty interested in what we were doing as well. All in all, cool course.

[Wog]

It's clear we will need to do a little educating of the non-disc throwing public. Today I learned of two different instances where kids playing at the park tried to throw back discs that were thrown. A gentle "Leave it there" fixed that problem. However, another instance where a couple of kids where climbing on the basket on hole 10 left us with a slightly loose basket. All I can say is those kids are lucky I didn't see them on the basket!

:laughing:

:yay: Nice work, Steve. I still have photographic evidence of the one and only 178 foot, par 4 in the entire world. My eagles on that Saturday made my weekend. :D
