I'd have to say I think Cooper and Dick's layouts are going to be real good, and if they aren't we can all make fun of their designs, and talk about how dumb this hole is or that hole is, and throw dog poop on them, and never offer them beer, and kick em in the nads.

 

Oh noes Tom! Don't do that!

Pro designers (as a rough estimate) are about $5,400 per 18 holes (excluding the cost to get them here if they don't live in the area).

And about the Titans, I haven't recommended them but that is solely because I have never played on them. I'm sure they're fine but without firsthand knowledge I wasn't about to suggest that the parks dept buy 57 of them.

Thanks Dan,
I did indeed do a lot of work on that. Glad you liked it and thanks for all the work you've done setting up this opportunity for everyone.

I believe that is correct as any less doesn't make much sense.

My pick is Pickard in Des Moines (Indianola I think, just a little south of Des Moines). Great park, great design.

Dan, are gonna be ready to manhandle that compactor again? Or shall we rent a steam roller?

We got about 17 different soil types and configuations...

I should make the designers aware of that and for extra credit, they tell me what type of soil they have under their t-boxes and how do we deal with that type of soil. (sandy, dry, wet, clay, loam. ect...)

Maybe a chance for Course Concrete VP Tom to help us if needed. The right treatment and underlayment will make any soil issue go away.

To answer your question sir...I'll be VP Level/Final Placement guy again, you can be VP in charge of all Stake Issues and we will leave the Mr. Tamper Machine for the young-ins...that kinda kicked my arse last time at Spooky!

Dan 

PS- We got some cool Park tools in the Clay County tool shed...must take inventory to see what all we got! 

I'm gonna say I have... brown soil beneath my designed tee pads. I guess I'll need some help in that area, but I'm sure it exists out there (Bom Tutler for example), and you seem pretty knowledgeable Mr. Dan.

Or both, trees under x diameter are cut as well as select flagged trees, pending approval of course.

I'm not sure I fully understand... play 18 holes on either up top or down under and then the final 9 and whoever has the best scores wins... is that correct? (or is it separated by course choice?) Maybe I do understand and it just doesn't make sense to me, so if someone could clarify that would be great.

I really don't know if that is public knowledge.  But ...

Oh, sorry, I didn't know it was a closely guarded secret.

I would call and talk to all the companies and ask them for bids....

I am on it...and I have excellent business negotiation skills too!

Dan 

When we purchased the 10 Mach IIIs in Sedalia the city required three competing bids. All three came in considerably lower than the list price one sees advertised. We simply went with the lowest bid.

I believe this was provided by Disc Golf World.

Mind tell us what DGW can get them for Rick so that we can discuss basket ideas with good information?

I like the trapezoids, but maybe on a few of the more open holes the big circles make sense. The pads don't have to be uniform throughout the course, just look at Blue Valley! Maybe the case by case on  each hole would make a lot of sense.

Maybe, I don't know what it was. I told them I was a course designer but I did not have the email sent from a P&R email. I even asked them about bulk discount, anything else and they didn't seem willing to budge, but maybe I did forget to say please.
