NEFA DISCussion

Heck yes! If I lived near there, I'd play every day. 8)

He said par 5, which for you would be 7 or 8

Why isn't there an Ignore feature on this software?

Morgan, you are the worst golfer in the entire New England region - that you think you can make a comment like that is a complete joke.

I studied Abnormal Psychology in the late 70's, but they had a limited understanding of your pathology at that time. Even the most brilliant clinical scientists of the day were still using hand-waving guesses when people with your condition presented to their offices. The best tools they had could only descripe a rare condition which they attached vague descriptive terms to, such as "Organic Brain Syndrome," or "Assumed Cerebral Necrosis." Perhaps they just assumed it was a birth defect where large sections of the frontal cortex were redundant ganglia replicated from primordial DNA which has remained unchanged since the Platyhelminthical era of evolution, 450 million years ago, since patients with your condition have brains that appear remarkably similar to those of flatworms.

Perhaps we have a better understanding of your condition by now, and a therapeutic regimen...and in the interest of the disc golf community, I hope we do.

Great,

He resorted to the Chewbacca defense.

Yea, this thread totally took a humongous crap.

Congrats on ruining yet another thread, Morgan.

Nonetheless, I think a Nine hole par five course would be sweet. I have been wanting to take a trip up to Maine, and a course of this type would definetly make my list of must plays.

Did Star Wars really have a character named after a brand of chewing tobacco? How lame.

MORE par 5s? Absolutely! ALL par 5s? No, thanks.

I never liked 'Steady' Ed's steady diet of all par 3s. I suspect all 5s would get a bit monotonous as well. My mental game needs those 2,3,4 par challenges.

As they say, "Variety is the spice of life."

Disc golf should be more than "all par 3" but less than the ball golf standard of "par 72." I think a mix of half 3 and half 4 is perfect. That's par 61. Maybe 12 par 3's, 4 par 4's and 2 par 5's. That's perfect.

Oh wait that's Hyzer Creek!

well, i guess i didn't realize that a simple post would generate the kind of response...as if no one read the thread to begin with. NINE HOLES would be monotonous. good thing i didn't ask about 18? letsee par 72 on 9 thAT wouold be ....everyone's average...8 strokes per hole...yep that's monotonous for sure. par 2. what is that? is thaT the way they set up holes in the city? I've seen pictures of the "pro" "wooded" courses. it's laughable. A great big field with a couple of trees between the tee and the hole. fairways so big you can drive a car through. not in maine...looks more like a deer path.

Ralph...If you're not willing to consider viewpoints contrary to your premise in a constructive way, without sarcasm, then perhaps you shouldn't ask the question in the first place? Anyway, I'm sure you'll find a willing audience...Go fer it!

i guess that proves it. the answer is always no, until the question is asked. Look for a nine-holer in the central maine region....coming soon.

Hello, it seems that Disc Golfers are always looking for new and different places to play, and justly so. Seems like a great idea to me. And this is Dave n Barbara Acker of Ackers Acres Disc Golf Course talkin. We truly enjoy seeing people going around checking new places out. Best of Luck on your endeavor...just be prepared for many a backache!!! lol

Disc golf should be 9 par 3 holes and 9 par 4 holes.

That's par 63.

Ralph,
I say go for it, If you build it they will come as the saying goes.

It seems that some of us who post in here from Maine not always get the response that we would like to get. Most of the people in this discussion forum are great people and they have helped me out in more ways than one. But you always get the smart A---- who want to turn your simple question into a bashing on someone else.

Keep us posted on the outcome of this endevour and I would be happy to post it in our shop here and get some of our players to come try it out.

HEY US MAINERS HAVE TO STICK TOGETHER!!!!!

So Morgan which one is it 61 or 63?

I agree with variety is the spice of life. I'd like to see a variety of different types of courses. Pitch n Putts, Grip it and Rip it, Wide Open, Technical etc. I personally like the idea of an all par 5 course, especially if it's only 9 holes. All 18 might be a bit much, but that would also be a great course to hold challenges and tournaments.

Everyone answered the question if there is interest in a 9 hole par 5 course in Maine besides Morgan. You also asked if players are looking for something different, which people replied to. Take away what Big Moe wrote and there is a good thread here.

I answered the question. Disc golf should be a blend of par 3 and par 4. One or two par 5's is cool, but a course with all par 5 holes? As Simon Cowell would say, "That's a no."

Putter.
Par-KA-ay!

I can't believe it's not Putter.

looking at the three different possible locations for an "extreme" 9 hole...rt.3 near sheepscot lake(sloping land)....fairfield...5 miles from i-95(elevation changes/stream runs thru it...athens(lotsa wooods)...just an update
