Discin'

BFG and Myself are going to North Valley park (Hwy 52 to 70th in IGH) at 1:30 today - last minute notice for those coolers at home that want to take a walk in the woods.

North Valley Today (Friday April 24th) 1:30 pm

I have my car getting repaired in IGH between roughly 4 and 6 pm, so if anyone wants to do Kaposia and give me a ride, I'm available.

sorry I couldn't make it but thanks for the invite. I got hung up on an online job application and phone calls to make before the weekend. :frown:

BFG was a real trooper - he's still limping a bit from his sore foot. Anyone real desperate for an ancient beat-up driver disk, it's at the bottom of the pond. You'll need hip waders, though - the mud is about 3 feet deeper than the water is.

Ok time to move this thread. No sense in bothering everyone in the Cooler Crew with disc updates :smile:

First off, sorry I didn't get back to you about disc with BFG, MD. I tell people I will always be up for playing disc... but I can't always be up for it if someone else gets to me first! My friend Ryan and I made a trek up to Blue Ribbon Pines that day. We would've invited you two, but we left at like 6am to go out there. Ryan was coming off a night shift.

Secondly, anyone who is friends with me on Facebook should check out the BRP pics I put up... it is the nicest course in town. We didn't take a ton of pics because we were in a hurry to get our rounds in, so we will probably get some more next time. If you aren't friends with me, you should add me! I might set up a flickr account to put up all my disc golf pics.

Thirdly, disc tomorrow. Probably late afternoon. A few people are already interested. I am thinking Kaposia... keep it nice and close.

If anyone wants to try Cottage Grove - I strongly suggest doing it NOW. It is a very woodsy and swampy course. Once the greenery grows in, you'll have to deal with woodticks and skeeters in huge numbers. They have a couple Par 2s and Par 4s, so there is quite a variety.

I'm probably going to be available Friday afternoon again, possibly Saturday morning. Next week I'm out of town on vacation.

I'm beat. Not sure if I'll be able to squeeze in a round today. :asleep: :frown:

oops..

should be..."time to move TO this thread"... i.e. time for me to post disc stuff here rather than on the other threads

haha, that probably makes more sense now.

That makes about as much sense as when you called all the geocachers nerds. :eyeroll: :smile:

point taken :neutral:

Anyone for Discin' on Wednesday? I got an early out from work... maybe Kaposia at 3:00? Open to suggestions....

I'd be very interested. It's suppposed to be nice out too.

I'll call when I'm in the neighborhood - got a Dr. Appt. at 2 in Woodbury, but they usually kick me out in 15 minutes.

FYI - I have beer. Schell's variety pack(s). Ask me what's in the trunk at the park and I just MIGHT show you.

I have plenty of water as well.

Anybody up for playing hookie next Tuesday?

Im in.

A little wind is fine when it's 80 degrees and sunny

Did you have a course in mind? Any chance you'd want to go up to Blue Ribbon Pines?

Where is that again? Sounds like a plan

East Bethel. Hwy 65, about 20 mins north of hwy 10. Make a right on Klondike Dr. There are signs for the course on 65.

Wow! What a beautiful course. $5? Very nice. Anybody else want in?

Do you get the full 27 holes for $5? - How about a time? Is this a full day-type event, or a ditch-at-lunch kind of thing?

I'm IN - but what time?

$5 lets you play all day, as many rounds as you want. As far as time, it usually takes Reggie and me like 2 and 1/2 hours or so to play a round of 27 at BRP.

It would be nice to get there early afternoon sometime, the course can get busy in the evening.

I live Just down the Block from Bryant Lake!! IT LOOKS NICE AS HELL!! I am Walking Dis. to there!!

It's a decent course, but not worth the drive for me.

I make my own courses, in the backyard... but you need to re-set the bucket in a new place, for every hole..

:sillygrin: :sillygrin: :sillygrin: :sillygrin: :sillygrin: :sillygrin: :sillygrin: :sillygrin: :sillygrin:

I have one basket as well. I need at least two to make a 'course'

It was packed out there today. Spring has definitely sprung :cool: :cool:

Almost aced 15 today. Hit the tree next the basket at ribbon height :angry:

Played Cottage Grove last night amongst about 45 teenagers. Got a couple new discs (a set for the wife) and a floater disc for the ponds. Got some really decent drives, but approach shots were miserable. Kids out there were impressed anyway.

So what time are we going to play tomorrow?

Noon ok for everyone?

Prolly a little later - I can't leave until 11:30 from Baldwin, WI

Yeah it's going to take me more than an hour to get there as well. 1?

I can try 1:00 - eat on the road and such. Hey, Cluey - Don't text message - we get charged for it - just call and I promise I'll steer with my knee and set down the burger and answer the phone.

1:00 is fine for me. Blue Ribbon Pines, yes?

Okee dokey!

Blue Ribbon Pines is an Hour and 27 minutes from where I work according to Google Maps - 694 in Oakdale is a mess as they are setting up for lane resurfacing - maybe 1:30 would be better for me.

1:30 works for me, although traffic should not be too bad at 1 in the afternoon.

You should be way better than any of us. You're way up there anway

Doesn't Hwy 65 still have a boatload of stoplights? Given the fact I NEVER get out of the office exactly on time I'm committing to 1:30. Do we need sunscreen for this course or is it pretty shady like Kaposia? I've been out a bit lately and my ears are red.

BRP is woodsy like kaposia, but there are a few open holes and others that are at least part open. 1:30 it is.

Who knows if it'll even happen with the way the weather is now. Hopefully it'll clear up.

Wcco says that it should be party cloudy by 1 pm. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Looks like the rain is moving east and is clear of Anoka right now. Anyone up that way?

Looks like we'll be fine for a 1:30 tee time
