I will be there and can help with Disc Golf/Accuracy/Demo's as needed.
Rain or, well, light rain... but the weatherman has been wrong before!

Great work Everyone on the FIF Festival !!!!
I will be at the FIF festival, am trying to get a foursome for a little DDC action on the side.
Feel free to draft me for anything else, I plan on being around all day, rain or rain. (I didn't say that did I)

I can bring a couple Bridgeport Frisbee ...

Fairfield U is now 18 holes. A bit more tweaking needed to get all the holes with proper tee signs. All the holes are marked now.

Check out this nice new aerial map:

See the Fairfield U section down below in the Courses by State thread for more information.

Glad to hear you are working with the Discovery guy! I will be in contact with him again, let me know if I can help with anything, I plan on being their for the day.

If somebody tells me how I can put up a nice picture here of an aerial map that is pretty current with tees/pins on the new FFU course....

oops, this was supposed to be in the Fairfield U topic folder....

Ok, after a few more weeks of distractions.....

THE Tee Signs now make sense for the new 18 hole course. (see map available in an earlier thread).

Most of the holes have a tee sign OR have their tee marked on the sidewalk at the tee. Here is a quick rundown of the full 18.

1. Old Hole 1, tee ...

I will playing a round at Fairfield U tonight at 6:00pm.
If people want to play doubles we could.... or just play a round.
(I was gone for two weeks with a family emergency and then another week in Spain at a Science conference...)

Wow!! Fairfield County is emerging as the next great area to play Disc Golf!!

90acres/Veterans park is carved out of the woods...
The Wave evolves...
Norwalk leads the way..
Fairfield finally gets 18..

Fairfield County Open in 2012?
4 courses, 4 rounds, Fun4all!

Thanks Adam! It is a pretty, and challenging, pin position.

All the baskets are now in their new positions. New tees are marked with little orange flags. Sign numbers still don't make sense, should get some done this weekend. End of the year stuff and the fact that I am running a Science Ed ...

thanks for the comments. I hate this weather! I will try to get the flagpole hole moved tomorrow. If it is not pouring we could have doubles on Wednesday but I'm not into it in the rain! Look for a post wednesday morning.

If people are consistently going long on 17 and making it to the road I will ...

Adam,

Yes, there are a few long walks... alas, with all the roads/buildings etc. that is what I have to deal with. Also, I have a few holes I am just not willing to give up (pond hole, long island sound hole, Ancient Oak, Zen hole) so that drives some of the connectivity problems.

I actually have ...

hmmm, embedded map image did not seem to work..
ok, maybe this will:

Fairfield University now has 18 baskets. Ok, one is on a stump and two are portables... but there are 18, including 3 new Mach V's just installed. All but hole 6, the flagpole hole, are in place as shown on the map now. the current hole that starts by the main road and curves up around a big clump ...

Come and play Fairfield U this Wednesday April 27.
Random Draw Doubles
Best Shot

Draw promptly at 5:30 pm

We will play:
(this is close to what the full 18 will look like when I get my three new baskets, plus the old peninsula hole, minus long 1)

Hole 1
New Hole 2
Hole 3, parking lot to the ...

Well, I come out of retirement for a nice day of golf and what do I get? Cold, wet, rainy hell.... for the first round... frozen fingers, soaked clothes and lousy throws...

9 strokes better in the second round... ok
I'm back.....

Nice Job Whit, Sherwood is a beautiful piece of property. Let me ...

Ok, Some good news for Fairfield U. The building boom has settled down. I am ordering three new permanent baskets (probably DGA Mach 5's). I should have them in the ground within a month. The course will then have 18 baskets total. I will be reworking the tee signs so no decoder rings will be needed ...

To all who have worked hard to make this course happen!!

THANK You, Well Done!!!!

I finally got a chance to go out and play the nine in the ground. My initial impression is great work. Feels a lot like Borderlands in MA.
My favorites:
Hole 2 - great risk reward hole
Hole 8 - a gorgeous long ...

Yahoo... appears it was a stupid student stunt. Basket was found in a closet and will be returned to the course.

(if they had put it on top of the Chapel or next to St Francis with a disc I would of just howled laughing and then put it back!)

Results are up on the main NEFA page.

It was a great day and I enjoyed seeing such great play on the latest version of the Fairfield Course. The rains came to the west and to the east of us but only a few sprinkles all day for us.


I would love to hear from people about the new permanent ...

Each player will get a map with hole description and Distances

Thanks for posting the directions!


at least one weather service shows a tiny bit sunshine in the morning....
Not sure if I believe them!



See everybody tomorrow!

Course is set. All baskets and tees are in their tournament positions.

LAST NIGHT some Rat@#$%^& ard stole one of my Chainstar baskets.
(by the chapel)

I am hoping it was a stupid college student prank...
If it was theft... Well, I will prosecute and security already knows.

If the basket ...

I'm thinking about it...

Will evaluate on Saturday afternoon.

As long as straight ahead fairway is open I am inclined to keep the hole as is.

I will be putting up the last few baskets Saturday morning. Should be in place by noon.

I will also be putting in all of the "Next Tee" signs.

The course will... duh... be a bit muddy! Bring your good mud shoes, cleats.

I will be defining very generous tee areas for the tournament rounds ...

Always something..
Tent is supposed to be down by Sat afternoon.
However, I have an alternative hole ready if needed.



Or.. we could play OVER the big top..........
(just kidding)

(Take no heed of that giant low pressure system pounding the Carolinas and moving our way...... should be ...

There is a TYPO on the MAIN NEFA page that says the 27th...
You can come and play the course (likely with me in the rain!) but the TOURNEY is on Sunday.

Play for holes mentioned..

Long Island sound,

Savannah
Throwback
Pond

There is a bit of walk back from LIS but this then gives three holes in a row down the road. although you do cross the road a couple of times.

The flow for the normal 12 is simpler!

I will have maps for everyone ...

John, switched
Billy, in
