i lost a faded orange bar stamp crush.

So is river bends finished now? Strong winds from last night could have hindered the process. And will there be a course map there?

No. Bends is not finished. We did get to install basket 9. There are plenty of tasks yet to be completed. Too many to list here. Since the drunk ran over our sign, there is no place to post a map. I have ideas but time and cost are always an issue... If you want a map to look at, click here: http://www.discgolfscene.com/coursepictures/56163_l.jpg

John Minicuci   November 18, 2013 at 12:42pm

The map can be found under the pictures of Hole 1.

Ben Bobowski   November 18, 2013 at 7:51pm

Oh bummer, ok thanks John! Keep it up

John Minicuci    November 17, 2013 at 10:32pm

I know the weather this afternoon does not look promising but a couple of us will be at River Bends following the Lions game (around 4:30 ish) installing 2 baskets. We could use a few more backs along the way. Holes are already dug. Mixing cement and dropping them in the ground so it should not take all that long...

So I saw the rough at Stoney was cut recently. Any chance some of the death grass will be cut here? I'm sure it's dry enough. And is there any more work days going on soon, I'd love to help out

I was supposed to hook up with the parks team last week but couldn't get the time. Not sure if I will have time this week either. As far as work days, we might be there tonight installing baskets 9 and 13 of the new layout...

Ed Stack    October 28, 2013 at 5:53pm

Love the new layout but why r u moving hole 11 shorter and closer to the bridge and path. That hole needs to be left alone !!!

John Minicuci   October 28, 2013 at 11:42am

Thanks Ed. Because we have to remove old long tee box 9 and fixing the flow issue, it makes no sense walking across the bridge. Since we are mandated in keeping old short 8 tee box we wanted to make the one way play across the bridge as short as possible. No proposals for a tee box on the basket sid ... more

Mike Walker   October 28, 2013 at 3:11pm

its already a short hole.making it shorter will not help flow.either eliminate it or leave it where it is.it will only be around 25 feet from the path.

John Minicuci   October 28, 2013 at 5:04pm

It will be backlog of people coming off of 12 to wait for those to walk back over the bridge. And we cannot remove it. The township said we have to leave it due to the family spending so much on the memorial bench near the short tee pad.

Still have not planted 2 baskets and 2 tee pads need to be installed. The 2 new holes after 4 are not in at all.

Paul Bunko   October 11, 2013 at 11:34am

Thanks John. We still might play it tomorrow

Randall Kaszynski   October 11, 2013 at 5:04pm

I was there 2 weeks ago today and it hadn't been manicured in a while. Tall grass on the fairways... some new tees in though... Have a fun time when you go!

Jeff Bauman   August 20, 2013 at 8:33pm

oh yea, its up by the basket somewhere just short and right i think

Ben Bobowski    July 31, 2013 at 1:03am

So is the new course layout finished here? I'd like to play the new course

John Minicuci   July 30, 2013 at 5:08pm

It is not. The river crested on the 13th and the township has been unable to mow the grass. We are waiting until they can get the big stuff knocked down before we install the last few tee pads and baskets. We have much of it done but the long grass will make even the obvious landing zones a bit tiresome to look through.

Ben Bobowski   July 30, 2013 at 6:24pm

Ok thank you John!

John Minicuci    July 12, 2013 at 6:49pm

Looking to do some work on the course both Saturday and Sunday. Please get with me if you are available. We have 2 weekends to get the course ready for the Gale Vaughn Memorial...
