NEFA DISCussion

Wow this place is dead.

No matter. I've got a bunch of random pieces of tee pad rubber that I'd love to get rid of.

They're various thicknesses and sizes, but perfect for homemade tee pads.

I'll also be selling, either individually but preferably as sets, 18 Chainstars and 18 double-chain 10-year ...

This is some well thought-out sht. Nice work Luke. People like you are everything.

Hey Bobby,

Your mom and I were just talking about you.

Thanks man, glad you liked it.

Hi Jeff, I think Titan was referring to Guy.

OMG I'm running a tournament on Saturday. Used to run tournaments all the time. My last two tournaments: Newcomers Ball at Newton Hill, Newcomers Ball at Webster. Now the Newcomers Ball at 501. When you get old you develop patterns. I'm okay with that. It'd be good to keep this pattern going ...

Hi Eric,

Starting the day after the tournament the course will be open to the general public.

Every course you do teaches you a lot. We're not quite done -- but almost -- with the current one. Building the course in Warren with the owners and regular Sunday workday crew, and with Gill and Guy, was the ideal situation for making a course. It took a year and a half and a bunch of money. Can't ...

Can someone tell John Williston that he's in. I can't seem to reach him.

It would have been brilliant if I had somehow communicated to people signing up for this tournament that the DGU registration form doesn't have fields for two people.

I should have told everyone to put one name in the First Name field, and your partner's name in the Last Name field.

But I didn't ...

Hi Titan and Glenn. I've decided not to do it. Titan you're spot on when you recommend forgetting about the land and looking at the core reason behind it.

One thing I have to be careful of is walking the land enough times to begin to imagine a course. Once I reach that point it's hard to turn back ...

Hey Jason,

Just tested and it worked fine for me. 17 players have registered so this does not appear to be affecting everyone.

Can you please have them screen shot what they are experiencing? Or simply instruct folks having an issue to contact us directly? I can help them register and learn more ...

The 501 Newcomers Ball

Saturday, November 26, 2016 / 501 Disc Golf Course, 501 Old West Brookfield Rd, Warren, MA 01083

Tournament Director Jason Southwick, Co-Tournament Directors Bill Holmgren and Emily Louvitakis

Description: A bring-your-own-partner ...

So today I visited a new potential course in Barre, at the Stone Cow Brewery. There's interest there for a disc golf course. I like building disc golf courses.

And it was great and a very familiar feeling exploring just a little bit of the land for the very first time: a complete and utter not ...

The list is improving:

Amy Friend
Becky Polenski
Bill Fullam
Bill Holmgren
Bill Perron
Bob DeCostas
Brent Sanderson
Chris Gagne
Emily Louvitakis
Gill Melendez
Guy Lyman
Jaime Perron
Jake Sullivan
Jason Southwick
Jay Petruzzi
Josh Schnare
Karl Molitoris
Kevin (Bill's Friend)
Kyle Moriarty
Martha ...

And Todd Eddy. Todd Eddy. How great a name is that? Eight letters three syllables, you sound like an obscure tidal phenomenon. For donating big spools. Thank you Todd. You'll be added to the list.

No one's helping me put together this list, like, at all. Deserving people will be left off a ...

Then we had an earlier Jake, I think, so two Jakes total.

Plus one of JJ's friends. I think his name is Pete. What's HIS last name?

Don't tell me I have to post this on Facebook! Dang.

Why won't anyone help me? Is it because I've abandoned God?

Just wondering. I haven't abandoned God, btw ...

Help me with this please.

I'm trying to put together a list of all the people who worked on this course.

Here's my list so far. I need help with some names, some last names and probably some spelling. Plus it's really normal to forget really obvious people, so I'm sorry for forgetting obvious ...

To pick up the thread, a post hold digger is a big two-person auger. One guy pulls the cord, the other operates the throttle. Gradually a jerky but efficient dance is accomplished. After two days, we had dug 2' holes and planted nice L-shaped tee sign posts. We even "painted" the bottom two feet ...

We finished all 18 tees. They're very good tees. 5 x 10' Fly18 rubber on packed stonedust within a frame 7 x 12'.

So with the two sets of 18 Prodigy baskets (36 baskets) in the ground, and pretty much perfect tees -- big, flat, firm, level, grippy, ground level, and safe -- we must be done.

Well ...

We now have 14 Tees done. There are 36 Prodigy baskets in the ground, 18 green, 18 blue. Two layouts on 18 holes, just to catch people up.

I have four stings, JJ has 17. But I could hit the jackpot this fall, when hornets wake up, look in the mirror, and decide to sting the next person who walks by ...

Thank you Thomas.

Last Sunday we finished the 9th tee pad out of 18. All 36 baskets are in the ground. Almost all the cutting has been done. Signage is in the conceptualization stage. There are plenty of other details to attend to.

We're now concentrating mainly on the new tee pads. We've got a ...

Hi Brian,

How many courses have you installed? How many of these still exist?

Finally, are any of them any good?

Thank you for your time,

Jason

Yeah Jamie. Once again, thank you for doing so much. Without people like you, what would we do? Without people like you, I'd still be building Pyramids. Wait, that's not true. Without people like you, I never would have built Pyramids, because without people like you, disc golf wouldn't even exist ...

Doi. I quoted myself by accident while editing, then deleted it, but can't delete this.

Wow I should shut up finally.

Okay, I just want to be clear about one thing. I'm still scared of the tractor.

But less scared. We've almost finished the 6th tee -- Tee 5 -- and we're doing such a good job.

Bill has dug another three holes for tees -- a big part of the process. The thing with the tractor I was scared of was ...

I hate exaggeration, and strictly adhere to only factual renderings of reality.

Flowery prose, fancy punctuation, elusive vocabulary: a superfluous manifestation of the metaphysical imagination.

So yes, obviously, I've been drinking.

But man, we've been building, of all things, a disc golf course ...

Yeah baby. We're building the tees! I just emailed Bill that I think Guy can finish all the course work that still needs to be done by the time the rest of us build the tee pads. Should teepads be one word?

I need to decide.

Anyway, Gill and I are going tomorrow with everything we need to finish ...

Here's an update. Guy's been going twice a week during the week, and sometimes Gill and I join him on Friday.

Then we usually work Sunday mornings with a larger group of volunteers. Right now we are a hole and a half away from finishing the rough cut, 18 baskets have been assembled, 8 of them ...

Good luck everybody. And thank you Bobby for quoting. Your mom says hi.
