I am going to start working at around 9. I can hopefully get a truck and go to Lowe’s at around 8am to load up. I am thinking since we are just digging 8 holes we can hand dig the holes.

We will need shovels, post hole diggers, and wheelbarrows. Anything to help chop roots would also be very helpful.

I'll be there with a bunch of tools ready to work. I can't wait CPS is 10 mins from my place. :cheers:

Just looking at that map I noticed in like a 5-10 mile radius of my place there is like 10 ball golf courses too bad they couldn't switch.

Introducing......... The Central Park Disc Golf Course in Schenectady, NY!!!!!!

While we were finishing up on #11, we heard 3-4 wild crashing noises coming from the direction of hole 15(on the other side of the lake).

The red arrow on the map shows his approximate flight path........about 200 feet!!! :shock:

The green cap in the pic below is the cover for the sleeve on hole #15

...........AND THE AMAZING THING, HE GOT OUT AND TRIED TO RUN OFF !!! The cops picked him up in the park, stumbling around near the lake.

Jake the Ambassador wrote:On Tuesday the 15th at around 3:30 pm I am bringing a handful of my elementary students to Central Park to Play 9 holes so they can see what a real disc golf course is like and to boost the sport. There will be about 20 students ages 6-13 and a few parents. I want to break the group up into 3-4 smaller groups. They know how to play, I just need someone to be a tour guide and maybe offer some pointers. I know this is a doubles night, but it was the only time that I could work it out with the students and the families. They're great kids who are really excited about the game. I'll treat anyone who shows up to a drink and an appetizer after the round. Please give me a call or post if you can make it. Jake @ 518-368-6835.

Why isn't Central Park Schenectady listed on the NEFA courses page? http://nefa.com/Content/Courses.asp
Joralemon Park is only listed as 18 holes. Whose asleep at NEFA?

Strange addition to the green on 5 today..........

Jeff Wiechowski · Post by **Jeff Wiechowski** » Sat Nov 16, 2013 5:41 pm

Wow, haven't posted here in over a year............ Well the good news is that we for a place that'll pour our tee pavers for free. Bad news is their assorted colors. We also don't get any in the winter.

But for now we got enough for 4 tees...... Hole 16 blue was done before the Play It Again Open. We did two more today.

Thanks to the large group of locals that helped out!!

Hole 1 blue

Hole 2 blue

Next Saturday, hole 17 gets done.
