NEFA DISCussion

We have had two successful meetings, one better attended than the other but nonetheless, progress. It is fairly nasty out there, frozen ground overlaid by a 2 inch layer of muck.
Plenty of plans, if your interested in helping PM me...or call.

What do you get when return Hole 13 and 14 to the Long Placements at Northampton State Hospital ?
a) at least 2 strokes to your score
b) 1,057 feet
c) a lost disc
d) happy to be able to crush some drives in freshly mowed fields
e) [b]all of the above[/b]

Long placements went back in yesterday, the ...

Here's what went down today...
5:30 am-Weedwhacked 15
6:30am-weedwhacked 16 selectively and 17 selectively. 17 still will need some work, though in thfairway and landing areas you can now find your disc. There is some healthy PI through the fairway, and I was hesitant to vaporize it with the ...

Sorry to not have been checking up on this thread.

Patrick, this is not a park, which is why its not maintained by the city. And the dogwalkers don't help and don't care.

Someone got out to the field and did a tiny bit of mowing, and weedwhacked on 7, thanks for that.

After still not hearing back ...

Course maintenance is ongoing, but needs more help from locals and others who use this public course regularily.

Being in conversation early this year with Andy Neal, other Nonotuck Disc Golf Club members, and other folks interested in volunteering at the course I had high hopes that this year, we ...

The course is in need of some help, in the way of a mow-a-thon. If you are willing and able to commit to a time, then please let me know cookjohnson@comcast.net or talk to Andy Atnandy@aol.com. There will be a workday scheduled very soon, but we are looking at trying to get the fairways mowed in a ...

Can anyone attest to the quality and design of the DB3 ? I saw it in the latest Discgolfer mag, then went to the website and saw only the DB5, with a base and the eyebolt anchor. What are the specs, how is it different ? Anyone order any of these baskets lately, have they improved at all over the ...

Titan, I have 5 tire basket bottoms and 3 tops, if your interested in them, they would need to be stiched together with some 4X4 pieces or a doubled up 2X4, which I could also set you up with.

The pole holes we originally started with in Humboldt were a 7 ft. section of 1 inch pipe for the center ...

Greg, how bout some snow shovelling, and 12 oz curls, this week ?

Sure would be nice if some of you guys who play the course regularly, hitting all these aces and whatnot, would come out and do something out there, like shovel off the teepads or clear some downed branches, pick up some trash...something. Every little bit counts, and it makes such a big difference ...

I went up there to take a look around before the blizzard hit. Terrian looked great, nice variety of holes from what I could tell between the flagging, and iphone map. Its exciting to see something going on, on the ground, and they definitly made quick work of some thick brush with good use of the ...

So sorry to hear that news. If there is anything you need help with, do not hesitate to call.

Hmmmmmm. Course work. The Western Massachusetts Disc Golf Association has been hard at work this late fall and winter cutting back those pesky rosebushes, asiatic bittersweet, trying to keep up with the dead fall and widow makers, and clearing hurricane damage.

Most recently,
Picked up a twelve ...

For those of you regularily playing the course...if you missed the 1,000 feet that 13 and 14 lost during the haying season, I put those baskets back into there regular locations yesterday. Thanks to everyone who helped out creating and improving those alternate holes from April-October. We'll see ...

I was just informed by the treasurer of Nonotuck Disc Golf Club that we will have a meeting, but doesn't know when, because he doesn't have time. But he does have time to write up a code of conduct for all members to follow. wow, amazing.

And to whoever parked the rider up off 7's tee, I wouldn't ...

Thanks Talbot's for mowing 9,10,11, and fixing the mower, be sure to ask the club to pay for it. I cleaned up what I could with the walk behind. 1, 12, and 18 are done. Leave the long stuff, and around the pins, the push mower and weed whacker can deal with that. The mower is next to the path going ...

There is a big difference between kneeling down and bending over...

10 years I've spent working on a course, sometimes alone, sometimes with the other co-creator, sometimes with a small group of dedicated individuals. There is always room for more people to come and help, to participate in what ...

Religion does not have anything to do with it, unless those beliefs are being pushed onto people or used to proclaim some higher authority...and then I can do what my human brain thinks is right...etc. In the midst of an undemocratic process, to raise that "I am being prayed for", I mean it just ...

Well, a return to this discussion on this page is long overdue...my apologies for not being more prompt. First of all, the lack of information about some holes being rested and other temp holes installed is because as a club we DO NOT MEET REGULARLY, in fact, we don't meet at all. Not only do we not ...

Brian, I'd be happy to help you out with the course.

I had a meeting with the Director of Conservation and Recreation for the Town of Amherst today. Your name didn't come up.

You should work with people locally, who know what they are doing.

Don't think I'm not being nice, if I was I would have ...

We are having a ten year old anniversary this year at the State Hospital. Many of the dreams and aspirations that helped develop this course are coming to fruit. I have spent the last month or two creating a four hole loop that begins at hole 10 and brings you back to hole 11. Juano, Pete, Dave, my ...

I PICKED UP OVER 100 CIG BUTTS BETWEEN HOLES 9 AND 18 YESTERDAY. For a course thats been in half as long as Northampton, I am surprised, and a little disappointed. It is brush fire season, even though its raining now, and its just disgusting. Ask your fellow disc golfers that smoke to pick up their ...

I would still like to attend if there is room...if I didn't make that clear already I apologize.

Thanks Mike, JJ

Please contact him at once, if he is deciding not to go the DOME PLEASE REGISTER TODAY AND I WILL RE-EMAIL HAROLD DUVALL explaining the change, I have not heard from Brian, I was ...

Spirited discussion,

Both of you sound like great candidates.
