View Full Version : Sharpy accomplishments on baskets

So I've got a question for you all to weight in on. I went out and played Horning's Meadow Ridge course today and carded an eagle 2 on hole 7, the one that fades to the right following the curvature of the ridge (the hole previous to the severe downhill shot). Anyway, my drive was about as perfect as I could have envisioned. I threw a flippy teebird high and straight to let in anhyzer the entire length of the hole following the path of the trail. I sank a twenty foot putt for the eagle. Needless to say, I was stoked, and thought it MIGHT be possible that I'm the first one to accomplish this on that particular hole. In my state of elation, I thought it would be a good idea to sharpie my accomplishment on the yellow part of the basket (as small as possible and on the back side). Only now do I realize this may have been a stupid thing to do because (A) I'm defacing someone else's property, and (B) some might not even think the accomplishment warrants that much celebration.

Anyway, what do you think? If it was indeed a bad idea then maybe I should pitch Mr. Horning some cash to fix it, or just go and paint it over myself. If not, cool. In any case, I'm still stoked I carded the 2.

This topic has been discussed a couple of different times in different threads on this forum, and I think the consensus was that it is better to get your disc signed, and not write on the basket. However unless he has changed his mind Bob Horning is fine with people writing on his baskets. Here is a response that he sent to me when I asked him that very question.

<<"Hey guys I went ahead and PMed Bob Horning and asked how he felt about people writing on his baskets since my original post was pertaining to an incident that happened on his course. Below is his response to me that he said I could repost on this thread.

Hi Cindy, Actually it is OK, for to me it adds a personal touch to the course and lets the one who aced it have a nice way to connect and add their own individually to it. Eventually we'll have to repaint them all anyway, to as long as they don't get carried away or as long as their is no defacing then I don't have a problem.
Thanks for watching out for us, I do appreciate it greatly!!
Thanks, Bob

When I get my first ace I still am only going to have my disc signed that's just how I feel personally on the subject.

PS I did sign the two baskets I aced at Horning's, but I did not sign the three aces I go at Leverich #2. Dang five in one year. I probably won't get another one for about five years now. :laughing:

PSS Congrats on the Eagle.

I'd clean it. As much as I like to see the names of people that ace a shot, I think it has the potential to turn negative. Someone doesn't like someone and an expletive is written and then it goes on from there or people that don't play DG start "tagging" the baskets because they see stuff written on them. (Hell, people have tagged the trees at Pier)

Ol' Bob
January 14th, 2010, 07:21 PM
I voted before reading anything. I voted "no." Then I read that it was Bob's course and I knew he approved. He's got the right to call the shots there. Whether he can keep the tradition from spreading to where it's not welcomed is not going to be up to him. Does that make it "grey?" I don't think so. Maybe if stick golfers started spray-painting greens, eh?

January 14th, 2010, 08:12 PM
In spite of what Bob said I still think this is a TERRIBLE idea. I've seen people signing baskets at a few locations now and the first thing that crosses my mind is definitely NOT congratulations... Next thing you know people will be signing those nice signs Bob had installed.

erp
January 14th, 2010, 08:13 PM
I think it's pretty obvious that if you ace the shot, you get to keep the basket - you sign the next one that they put in to replace yours.

I thought everyone knew that?

I congratulate you on your awesome shot and I wish I would have seen it. BUT I totally agree with Jeff. That kind of thing gets out of control very quietly. The sign on the canyon course that cautions about being slippery, has been written on for a while now. Although it is funny, it is not cool.

my ideal of signing the basket is signing the tape.....that way it can be easily removed or covered with a new peice of red tape if need be. now i've seen only one person try to sign the metal... i told him that its lookd down on but he felt he had to sign it. to not sign the metal

Sign the disc, not the basket.

Parks

If you do sign the basket, do it on the inside of the band if it has one so that it doesn't mess with the look of it.

Also, only do it for aces in my opinion.

It doesn't matter where you write it, it's still vandalism. If you want to remember your ace, write it on the disc, not the basket.

Pay attention to the rest of the thread.

In this case, Bob Horning has given his likely blessing to sign his baskets.

As such, it is not vandalism.

Just to reiterate for fairness' sake, I was only concerned with Bob's baskets. I've never been compelled to write on anything else on any other course. I guess I just took cues from what other people had already done there. That's also the reason I didn't think twice about it until later.

Parks
January 15th, 2010, 01:36 AM

It certainly does. Does the entity that owns the course allow it/endorse it, whether it be a single person, a disc golf club, a city, or whoever?

Taking that into account probably works a lot better than monolithic proclamations about what you think is and isn't right to do.

What if as a fresh (and unknown) course designer I found this thread and topic interesting . . . What if I offered at my freshly designed 9-hole course's inaugural event that if the course's first ACE occurred during the event, then the party responsible could permanently name the hole ? ? ? What if there were no ACES at the inaugural event . . . What if this fresh course designer's new course was worthy of AWE??? What if the not yet installed baskets (visible from the freeway) were ALL powder coated white?

Within said scenario I'd rather that NO ONE WOULD WRITE ON OUR FUTURE BASKETS at Pass Creek Park DGC!!!

This said, brings me to the entire reason that I replied to this topic . . . What if an "Ace" (and/or Special Achievement) sign were provided next to or above installed tee signs???

Great accomplishment on hole 7, but I agree that the basket should not have been written on.

Although Bob doesn't mind, I feel it sets a bad precedent. Someone sees writing on a basket and thinks it's OK to do that somewhere else.

snap7times
January 15th, 2010, 09:42 AM
Each course designer has their own opinions and can enforce whatever they want, if bob says ok, then fine. HOWEVER, some might play hornings, see this, think wow cool idea, tell 50 of their amateur friends, 5 of them ace at parks scattered around nw, piss off 500 other hard core eco friendly disc golfers when they write on basket saying they heard this idea was done at another course where it was ok and now they are confused? heh...

I said it before, I'll say it again, NOOOOOO writing on Jerry Miller DGC at Camp Taloali, that course will see alot of aces and kids as well, don't want to give kids wrong idea... *sipping my coffee*

Some idiot somewhere -- it may have been at Horning's -- signed a basket because he got a "turkey" of three birdies in a row. That's beyond lame.

I think there are a couple of signed turkeys on both the Canyon and the Highlands course. Now that's lame.

I love that course, but geeeez... you should have to Sharpie a big "L" on your own forehead if you DON'T get any birdies up there.

You wanna sign a basket, buy one. It never ceases to amaze me how people feel entitled to do anything that pleases them, regardless for the impact it may have on others. Manners, yea they count...I apologize for my generation who for some reason in an effort to make things better for their kids forgot so many of the lessons we had in ehtics and morals, and raised kids who are so self centered they can't even fathom the ideas of accountability, responsibility, and consequences.

Great shot on #7, don't sign any more please, and help us help Bob keep the courses clean.

Jim J
January 15th, 2010, 10:45 AM
Dang. I voted 'NO' because I thought you shouldn't mark stuff that doesn't belong to you, ever.

Then I actually read the question: Should the sharpie be removed?

So one of the six 'no's' on the poll should be a 'yes', and it looks like Yes is crushing No and Grey Area, which I'd expect.

Ol' Bob
January 15th, 2010, 10:57 AM
I see that my reading comp was as bad as some of those here who misread my posts. I got the poll backwards, not seeing that word, "removed." My "No" should have been a "Yes."

Maybe someone gets so excited because they just got the first par of their life and decides to commemorate the event. It's just graffiti and that's all. There's a bumper sticker I like: "Honk, if you like noise." Well, Tag, if you like mess.

----------------------------------------------------------------

On edit, I see I wasn't the only one to be led astray by the not so well constructed poll. It's easy to assume that No means Yes. When a second page started the poll was again in my face for to see the error in my first reading. Now it's 27 to 4. Can the Mods correct it?

January 15th, 2010, 11:05 AM
Condoned or otherwise, if those beautiful yellow baskets are all tagged up with the gibberings of ding-dongs spilling over with the glee of their first 95' ace, I'm far less likely to drive the extra distance to play Hornings than to go out to McGiver and just enjoy the redneck chandeliers...

ChUcK
January 15th, 2010, 11:10 AM
Instead of allowing sharpie on your baskets, Bob, you should allow local airbrush artists to add personal touches to the bucket portions. That would be sweet, as long as nobody paints them camouflaged.

I say no sharpies allowed at Horning's because of what Scott said- it sets a bad precedent for other courses.

I've also never respected the "she's my sister, I can call her a bitch if I want" argument.

Ol' Bob
January 15th, 2010, 11:12 AM
Much better to tag the Aces thread here. You can use big colored fonts and everything.

Scott
January 15th, 2010, 11:18 AM
I've always thought it would be cool to have an accomplishments board - something like a big piece of plywood nailed to the side of the barn. Make note of your aces, hot scores, or even birdies.

Isn't the only vote in this particualar situation that really matters Bob Horning's, and if he does not mind that people mark their accomplishments on his baskets then why should anyone have to cover it over?

I think we can all agree singing baskets on a public course is not cool, and I have never done that. However if it is a private course dosen't the property owner have the right to set their own rules?

Adam Schneider

Bob can set the rules for his course, but we can still express our opinion that it's a lame thing to do, regardless of whether it's allowed or not.

Ol' Bob
January 15th, 2010, 12:32 PM
Out here at Mud, I've seen lame people limp. Never seen one lame enough to mark our baskets, though I've seen 'em lame enough to toss ciggy butts or candy wrappers. I think that few people have even thought of marking baskets. It could be the idea that will be infectious. It's probably not a long leap from the tagging to ripping apart or tipping over baskets on public courses. When vandalism occurs to the idle minded, it might be hard to keep it in check. What will the basket jumpers do when they see a tag? Will it be like a red cape in front of a bull?

Tim
January 15th, 2010, 12:43 PM
All right, I'm moving this to the controversial topics section!





j/k Bob. :D

FWIW, the course that I cut my DG teeth on, it was the custom there to sign the baskets for an ace. It didn't really bother me. Tagging and more substantial vandalism were no more prevalent there than I've seen at other courses (actually less than I've seen at some). I won't say I condone basket signing, but it aggravates me less than people littering.

Wow, I guess I should not have been surprised at the vitriol this thread would induce in many of the users here...I mean it is an internet forum after all. I really don't think the exact count of the poll needs to be taken into consideration. It's obvious that the "yes"s have it. And it makes me laugh to hear that the poll was "poorly constructed"! It's one sentence with a "yes", "no", and "maybe" answer set. It simply requires one to read it. Also, to anyone who's taken the topic of this specific incident to great lengths of generalization and hyperbole, I'm sorry for contributing to the poisoning of america's youth value system. I actually thought my posting was somewhat humble and self repentant in its approach. Oh well, lesson learned. Thanks for everyone weighing in. It was informative, and at times, hilarious. I'll talk to Bob the next time I go out to Hornings and see what I can do about covering up the sharpie, that is if he even considers it a worthy investment of time.

I think it was good of you to think on it, and you did humble yourself to broach this subject and I think it's pretty great that you care so much... people just love to get all fired up on the forums...

I also think that it is behavior that should be discouraged and refrained from simply because it is not terribly acceptable on all courses... I like the idea of an accomplishment board, tho... there will always be those crude and vulgar folk who will take it too far and ruin these lovely little traditions for everyone... the slippery when wet sign being a perfect example... maybe funny for you and I, but certainly not for my young niece or my dear grammy... (I know, I know, neither of whom are out golfing the Canyon... but someday my niece will be there... and it won't be funny then either... )

Many more aces to you, don't write on the baskets ;-)

I'll throw my vote in with Tim's sentiment and to some degree Bob Hornings, have I personally signed any baskets, no. But on the whole it doesn't really bother me, as long as it's small and unobtrusive it's not like it's damaging the hole or changing my overall experience on the disc golf course. I generally like little things that add personal flair to a golf course, as long as it's in good taste. A good example for me would be the bottle cap tree stump seat on Dabney hole 14's tee pad. Do I like litter all over a course, no, but I think the stump's kind of neat. I guess I just feel like there's much more serious and prevalent vandalism and other issues at most courses.

Just my $.02

The trouble always seems to come back to, "nothing is kid-proof, or sailor-proof." Things that could be good things get turned into crappy things. We could have Peace Park, or Singapore...love-ins, or lock-down. I thought that penny tree seemed pretty cool, but it was too much for some folks. One of Murphy's Laws states, "If you play with something long enough, you'll break it." Rodney King asked, "Can't we all just get along?" What is it about allowing some level of fee expression in public? Someone will have to say, "Mine's Bigger," and say it too loud. Then, in reaction, we'll get the trains running on time, but taking us to nice clean and orderly camps. It's a hard call, where to draw the lines. Inside cultures, across cultures, large and small divides. The planet is getting smaller, the cages tighter. The lab rats react and act very unrat.

Hi Cindy, Actually it is OK, for to me it adds a personal touch to the course and lets the one who aced it have a nice way to connect and add their own individually to it.

Thanks for watching out for us, I do appreciate it greatly!!
Thanks, Bob

When I get my first ace I still am only going to have my disc signed that's just how I feel personally on the subject.

PS I did sign the two baskets I aced at Horning's, but I did not sign the three aces I go at Leverich #2. Dang five in one year. I probably won't get another one for about five years now. :laughing:

PSS Congrats on the Eagle.

Cindy :)

Hi all, some folks bring up a very good point, that if it's done here what's to stop it from not encouraging it elsewhere, did not think of that good point. The reason I did not feel it was too bad here was two fold, one, hopefully folks would take more ownership and pride of the area and help keep a low impact on the area, and two, The baskets will need periodical painting so the markings disappear rather easily.

It sounds like a conscientious though is that the best thing to do is not have the markings, so as the weather permits I'll simply go around with a can of paint and take care of it. Live and learn.

I've been rather pressed for time lately, but I intend to address another matter soon. I will be looking to place another recycle can or two on the Meadow Ridge course to hopefully cut down on some of the beer cans out there, probably by basket #12 and on the road right below #17. The problem with the upper ridge line is access and trying to keep golf carts off the trails to help keep erosion down. My thanks to those who do watch out for the courses, it is much appreciated :cheers:

if it's done here what's to stop it from not encouraging it elsewhere

Well, really the baskets at Elsewhere usually don't provide such a large yellow canvas for tagging. Signing the pole on a Mach III isn't that cool or noticeable, but I see someone's attempt every now and then.

Only Innova's bandits really afford any space to tag remotely comparable to the Horning's design, so it's not 100% fair to say that tagging at Horning's leads to tagging everywhere else, but to say that one will never lead to the other is a stretch.

Only now do I realize this may have been a stupid thing to do because (A) I'm defacing someone else's property, and (B) some might not even think the accomplishment warrants that much celebration.Correct on both points.

Address what happened and not what might happen. You can't 100% predict what people will do, or predict that someone will interpret self-proclaiming gaffiti as a go ahead to tag all over the course. Props on the two dude. That hole is nasty so let everyone know that miracles still happen.

I only sign baskets in a few very specific situations:

1. Aces
2. Eagles
3. A string of birdies over 3, and each subsequent birdie in the streak
4. Putts from outside the 10m circle
5. Tourney winning putts
6. Very difficult par saves

Thats pretty much it...:slapface:

I think its tacky to sign a basket. I guess,I should say it looks tacky and out of place. Something I might have done as a kid though.
