my homemade basket(s) for my future private course
 

i am making some hornings type baskets for at my house
i have the first one kinda roughed in (pic worthy anyway)
still has a ways to go, but you'll get the idea
it has the "portable base" on it now so i can fine tune basket placement, then i will mount it permanently
it sure is going to make short work of a roll of chain

Matt,

you thinking of doing the Yellow paint treatment like at Hornings? or going Red and black for Shelton? or going for a natural petina (rust orange)

Looking favorable on the build from the pictures.

Gathered data from a variety of sources for chain configs, especially if weighing out costs vs benefits:

12 chains can get you started
at 16 things start being pretty decent
when you get to 20-24 you're in a great sweet spot.
If you start with 12-16 then move to 24 chains, it seems like luxury!

i have some extra white paint i will use

i looked at the specs on all baskets from the pdga site
and kind of worked out a happy medium for specs
it has 12 outer chains because thats how the gaps measured out (going by pdga specs)
and will have 4-8 inner chains havent nailed that down yet

i was just throwing at it
and it catches very well, even out on the edges
i will have to experiment with the inner chain count

i do know what too many inner chains looks like, on my costco park and sun basket
i have been all over with it (none,4, 12, 6) on inner chains and settled on 6

Well, you won't have to worry about someone stealing those, at least without two goons and a forklift!

a.k.a olydiscgolf, maco capo, and bake?

hahahahaha!!! zing!!!

I don't think its fair to include Bake.... He's a good guy.

One of the best. That's why he is the forklift.

i was going to ask which 2 are the goons

I think olydiscgolf counts for two, but then again maco capo has the equipment to make it happen.:shooting:

That's why I'm the pitcher and olydiscgolf is the catcher! As for Bake, he can run the video camera

whoa..whoa...whoa...hold on here
I said pics of golf baskets
not golfers backs :shocked:

Sounds like fun where do I 'fit in' in all this? :angel:

You can take over for me.

i think your the 4th batter, in other words your the heavy hitter. ouch i cringe at the thought!!!! if i saw big hairy sillybizz in his "3 piece suit" i would run the other way and NEVER look back! thats disaster waiting to happen there!

time to bring this thread back around to baskets

first/test basket is mostly done
it seems to catch fairly well and im happy with the dimensions

now its time to make a few more, and put them out around the property
then start throwing
