I know this is a long shot, but I left a champ eagle behind the pin on 5. Noticed it was missing after my round, but remembered where I left it. Went back to grab it and it was gone. Number is on the rim. Reward for its safe return!

Hey good news! I talked to the community manager at Independence in Farmington, and he said they're waiting to hear back from their management in Chicago. I dropped off a proposal the other day, he sent it in, and said they were looking at it on Thursday. I also gave him a copy of the logo I did, some course glamour shots, and *most importantly* positive responses from guys that have seen and played on the property. He said the responses looked really good and that he'd pass them along too. It's looking as promising as ever that something might ACTUALLY happen... Update soon!!

We took a basket out there yesterday. Endless options. The property is phenomenal!!! Lots of elevation and water.

Eric McCahill   May 15 at 3:57pm

Thanks for doing that, Breezy!! I'll keep you updated on any happenings or if we need help / volunteers / players!!!

Hey Guys, sorry if you see this multiple times! Come join my buddy and I at lunch time at Grand River and Halsted in Farmington Hills, Independence Green Golf Course (closed now) for some discing so we can show you the new DG course we've proposed to the land owners (Apartments). (It's GORGEOUS and would be an awesome place for the rotating Founders / Lawrence Tech League...) We park at the apartment's office, off of Halsted. I'm hoping if they see some strength in numbers, it'll ... more

No baskets or tees yet, that's what I'm trying to convince them to do!! It'll probably start off as dirt / 4 x 4 tees to get the course in hopefully!!

It would be so great...I would wake up and play disc golf and play disc golf when I got home from work.....#INDYGREENDISCGOLF

Eric McCahill   May 15 at 3:39pm

Thanks Shawn!! Me, too if I lived there!! I'll just have to play on lunch break and after work instead!! I'll keep you guys updated!!

For anyone wondering went there on 4/21/2013. A bit muddy in some spots. Not that this impacts playing but graffiti on most tee pads about someone who enjoys male genitals. Just kind of takes away from what cass could be, but alas thats what ya get for a free to play course.

Mitch- most of us "serious" golfers started out as the casuals you so vehemnetly protect. Just like Dan said, none of us got where we are now by chance. But think of it in a different context...I'm sure there's a professional sports team or 2 you follow right? Would you say that the people playing pick up games have just as much right to playing on the same field as them? Granted we can't build courses for both parties to use. But the thought process is there. You wouldn't think the average J ... more

Not all casuals are disrespectfully ****s, just like not all avid golfers are not respectable people. The majority of all golfers (casual or avid) are good people. I don't want to be lumped into a group with the few disrespectfully avid players, nor should all casuals be lumped with the few disrespectfully casuals.

So if the majority of us can respect each other,the game and the course.

All will be good!

Hate ain't great!

Jesse- i have now seen you post like 5 different times threatening to fight people. You got something to prove? Some sort of complex going on?

Jesse Whitlock    October 8 at 11:00pm

Seriously guys... Everyone has a right to play! Let's just get along and keep an eye out for other peoples disc. Quit calling names, pointing fingers, or stereotyping those who may not be as dedicated as yourself. The "fight" comment is taken out of context! If you don't like the crowd at a certain course, don't play it. I didn't mean any offense towards one side or the other just stating my opinion. This is the United States and we can all practice our freedom of speech. Have fun, throw true and be the bigger person...

And on a final note. I do take back using the word retarded. Its def not appropriate for a public forum. I stand by everything else though. im for real done with this conversation. Good talking to you all.

Geez Jessie offering to fight? Thought you were a nice guy.

Dan Bienkowski    October 8 at 9:29pm

Dear Pitbull,

Nobody mentioned fighting anyone but you. That would be the immature thing to do and I know how you feel about that. I simply responded with my thougths. Sorry you didnt like them.

Dan Bienkowski    October 8 at 9:07pm

Not usually my style to do this message board arguing, but Im in just for this one time. I will try to be rational but usually that still doesnt work when speaking to irrational people. 1. Who was your original post even directed towards? Someone posting that they lost their disc at Cass and was letting people know that they were offering a reward for its return? What an asshole "serious golfer" to do such a thing. He made no comments about owning a park, just was letting people know. ... more

I both agree and disagree with Mitch. Often times when I find myself behind people who I know play AM 1 or Pro they won't even consider asking if my friend and I can play through. I assume they just think we're some Cassholes when we're not. Conversely, I know these guys won't steal my disc and I've gotten calls from discs I've left behind. Whereas I've seen regular "cassholes" just up and take my disc from the fairway like they found something no one was looking for. And obviously the cassh ... more

Mitch - you are what is wrong with this sport. I could write an essay in response to your comment, but Ill sum in up in a word that you have probably heard all of your life- RETARDED.
