[Trozzle!!!]

We played most of the new Hornings course today and Go damn its brutal!!!!! It is a sick ass course for sure!!!!

[Hippy007]

play the whole thing and man one very long and hilly and supper sick. I will live on this course love it playing it all the time this winter. It took us about 4 hours to play the whole course.

we only played 1-9 i think and the long hole 16. lost a disc on my second throw on the left just inside the tree line. Rick was showing us the course and playing with us, so he pretty much knows where it went in. I have to say right now my favorite hole is #8. The long downhill one. I ont know the distance, but way long. and that huge downhill shot through the very narrow lines in the trees. I thought i lost mine, but i found it only about 50 ft from the basket. A very fun hole!!!! cant wait for the pads to go in and of course the baskets. those cones are hard to hit, lol

[Hippy007]

Ahh #8 the first of the 420 foot holes. but it is all down 30 to 40% grade.

I like #12 the second 420 foot hole you are just standing going, "man how am i going to make it there." It is much more open then it looks at the tee though.

there are a couple holes where you want a spotter.

looking to head up there today with the little one and am wondering if the new course has baskets in and how kid friendly or stroller friendly is it. Thanks

[Trozzle!!!]

I wouldnt say it is kid friendly or stroller friendly at this point. No baskets in either as of last Sat. I think Rick said they had 9 or 10 made. There is small cones at the tee area and the tall skinny cones in the basket locations. There is also some poison ivy they are killing off on holes 6-9. None of us got affected by it on Sat, and I was wearing shorts.

I just took 19 baskets in this morning to be sand blasted (one is going to PDGA for certification). Also picked up enough boards to make cement forms for 9 pads, or 1 full truck load of cement. I figure to do the easy to get to pads first, which a couple of us can do, but then do the hard to get to pads a day or two later. Will be priming the baskets this evening after I pick them up, and be setting forms up this week to pour next, so it's all coming fast. I will let everyone know when we pour if they want to help. Also if you want to grab a paint brush this evening I'll have the baskets being primed and some beers out!
later

Do you have paint brushes we can use or do we need to bring them?

I'm pretty sure I got more rustolium on the baskets than me but it's a close call.

Thanks so much to Troy and Jet for their help tonight! We finished priming the targets, which will keept hem from rusting after the sandblasting. We will give it a full day to set and then start painting them yellow in a bit. While the weather is good I'm going to start working setting up the forms for pouring concret. Again, thanks so much to Troy and Jet!!!!!!

Threw a bunch of putts tonight on the new basket. Bob has changed up the change configuration and these things catch so much better than the original basket. Will Odom was throwing some putts with the power of a drive from about 10-15 feet out, and these things were still stopping them. even on the weak side

[ryanajanes]

so is everything poured now?
