NEFA DISCussion

This place is always getting better....AMAZING

I finally managed to get down to Sturbridge for a round at Hyland yesterday. I read the thread before I went down to make sure I understood the beer rules. Unfortunately, it didn't help much, since starting yesterday the brewery is closed on Mondays.

Why would someone steal a matt from the course? It's not even a flypad or rubber. It's an entrance matt like you would see in a hotel. It was a temp T box but worked well. I have a feeling someone has a little course in their yard and decided it work for them. The matt was black 9' long by 4' wide. It was on 17 the old hole 9.

Are you kidding me!? I just don't see how someone could be disc golfing and be like "hey I like this mat and want it." and then just roll it up and walk off with it. Or even worse, finish the round and come back later...If you ever have a "fundraiser" tournament/event I would love to participate to help get all teepads permanent. Or, if memberships are continued I would definitly buy another season membership.

A few of us will be doing some burning on hole 3 Friday. This hole needs the most work. Fire is the best, quickest and most fun way to make it look and play good. If anyone would like to help just show up Friday morning anytime after 8am.

Has anyone brought up a Hylands Bag Tag League? We may be the only course in Mass without one. Just sayin'...

If you build it they will come.

i got tags made up as long as they are approved

Hey Don, what are the dg hours here on the weekdays? Looking to get a few practice rounds in this week, in the AM.

Got in a couple of rounds on the course yesterday. I really like this place. It is playing real sweet right now.

i was gonna ask the same thing. how early can we get there?

Dusk til dawn. Brewery 3 til 8 on weekdays and 12 til 8 on weekends

Nothing but night golf, so cool!

Really enjoyed the round here last week, course is in great shape. The new hole (4 and 5 together) is probably the best on the course now. Great job.

On the new hole 10 (old 1), is it a re-tee if you don't clear ob?

Indeed

mandatory re-tee or choice of playing where it went out?

Stephen Ditter wrote:mandatory re-tee or choice of playing where it went out?

I believe the question was specific to having not cleared the OB and thus having never been in-bounds. This would be a mando re-tee.

To answer your question though, Steve... If the disc does cross the OB line on hole 10 and into play, then back out again by hitting a tree and bouncing out or fading out of bounds hard left, then the disc can be played from where it went out/last in.

Thanks man.

i will be playing next weekend and want to get the hole #s right. 1 is old 11? where do we pay?

When I was there last, payment was in the same place (the wooden shed up the stone steps). The new first hole is the one right past the outside drinking pavilion.

Is the brewery open Monday 12/26? Looking to show the place to the man who introduced me to the sport, who's in town for the holidays...

Just talked to Rasta Marc...

Officially the brewery is closed on Mondays but apparently there is a lot of interest in golf tomorrow at Hylands because of the holidays. Soooo... Maybe. Officially maybe.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but most of the people who could possitively say one way or the other aren't on NEFA.

Enjoy the course, Kevin!

Thanks, hopefully we'll be lucky.

With 2012 upon us, 2011 memberships are just about done. It will be up to owners if there will be 2012 memberships or not and how much they will be. I will start working on this issue.

I'm assuming this doesn't include the initial basket sponsor memberships, right?
