Maybe Seatac should have baskets like at Horning's Hideout, I have a hard time seeing anyone doing too much damage to those.

Anything can be damaged if the vandal has enough will. The key is prevention.

Hey! I just want to shout out a big THANKS and a WOW to the righteous dude that managed to straighten out basket 13! It definitely needs some welding done but it looks totally salvageable now. If it was welded up I think it would actually be fine. It's gonna look a little "ghetto" but hey - we're talking SeaTac!

Yeah, I just played Seatac today for the first time and I kept looking for the broken basket and barely noticed the damage, definitely still puttable.

Awesome course though, all around.

There is a plan of attack. Omnibud found a local DG'r who volunteered to do it. Hooray! I have a NEW Cool Shoes top to be fortified and then installed. The cage will get "Farley ized". So don't panic when the pole is all that's left during the next week or so.

Another solution is "a line of sight" from the street to the 13 basket/14 tee area.

More info as it becomes available.

Played SeaTac yesterday (Sept. 30) and the basket is hardly playable, if even repairable. Course keeper, please move the basket away from the Hole 14 tee area, a.k.a., local teen drinking spot.

LJ Jubner · #28 October 1st, 2009, 06:09 PM

Sorry No can do but We will make it harder for them to vandalize the area.

Maybe we should move the flintstones bench thats behind the 14 tee, then they would have no place to sit.

LJ Jubner · #30 October 2nd, 2009, 07:22 AM

maybe if we do both line of sight and removed bench might slow them down. The good news is it's getting cold and crappy out so these hoodlums will start hanging out inside somewhere else

The basket is installed and catches fine. I want to thank Mike (Omnibud) Grossman for finding Johnny (Money) Mahoney and the favor he did us all. Oh, and Rahn helped too.

The Ombudsman · #32 October 14th, 2009, 09:51 AM

That's Johnny 'Money' Munson

Should the bench at 14 be pulled? Sucks but should reduce easy sitting and vandalizin'

LJ Jubner · #34 November 2nd, 2009, 08:46 PM

No the line of sight should do it.

I noticed yesterday that the first tree on the right side of the first fairway has been limbed and brushed out from ground level to about 15 feet up. Someone used a lopper to do this.
This does improve the line for RHBH throwers.

I think its only a matter a time before the shredded remains of the big laurel on #2 will be found on the other side of the fence near the road.

I just dont understand why we cant have one challenging course in the area, somebody wants them all to be like Ferguson Park. Wheres the challenge when every hole is an easy duece, even for a little kid.

I guess the only answer is to build harder and harder courses.
