As discussed the FS has begun work up at Pattee. They have begun building the new walkway across the wet areas between holes 3 and 4. Starting the week of June 22, they will be doing some major rehab work on old holes 17 and 18. This will include bringing in a backhoe and de-compressing, scarifying, seeding, and mulching these areas and probably putting a fence up to keep people out for a few years to give those areas some rest. They will also be working with the County to permanently close the upper parking lot along the road kind of near where old holes 1 and 18 were.
We will be re-installing the 8 baskets at Pattee Canyon on Monday, June 29th so that they are ready for play on July 1. If you can help out with hauling them out to their respective holes (holes 3 - 6 and 8 - 14) meet in the parking lot at Pattee at 7:30.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The course will not be open for play until Tuesday, July 1. We are getting the baskets out late on Monday evening so that they will be ready for play on the 1st. Anyone caught playing on the 30th may still be subject to a fine.
The remaining 11 baskets will be here early next week and it's looking like we will be installing them either Wednesday and/or Thursday nights. I will spread the word when I know the for sure day and times.
We are waiting for the baskets to come in. When they get here, a few of us will weld them up and then we will call a work party to install them on the course.
As the Big Sky guys found out, due to all the stimulus money being thrown around, a lot of parks across the country are putting in disc golf courses and so there aren't any baskets readily available. I ordered ours (11 mach V's) a week and a half ago, and they said then that they would be here about the 1st of July, but maybe as much as a week later.
Same for the tee pads. They are also ordered, but won't be here till probably a couple of weeks after the baskets.
I'll let you know more when I know more.
Unfortunately, there has been a change in plans. We will be installing all 18 of the baskets on Thursday, July 2 starting at 3:00. The FS will be helping us bring all of them to the course and we can install them from there. The reason for the delay is that they didn't want us to install only 8 now and the rest later, they wanted all of them to go in at the same time. Please help spread the word. We could use all the help we can get.
This means that the course will be officially open for play on July 3.
