Jon DeCapua Jan 28, 2015 innova baskets are easier to see from the teepad (if yellow). DGA baskets require a costly "blade" to make them more visual. this only matters for wooded courses really. my $.02

Greg Miller Jan 28, 2015 I'll be honest Jon, there are courses where the hole is in a wide open area and I still have issues seeing the DGA basket. Thanks for your input!

Larry Bright Jr. Jan 28, 2015 i just hate the "yellow band of death" on those innova baskets. but otherwise, either should do and what is most cost-feasible should be looked at first.

Greg Miller Jan 28, 2015 Larry, what is it that you hate about it? Does it stick out like a sore thumb? Do you think it distracts the thrower?

Larry Bright Jr. Jan 28, 2015

i think it shortens the height of the target. that band is pretty thick compared to the tops of oth ... show more ›

Sean Barnes Jan 31, 2015 I believe the Innova baskets will do just fine. I was shocked when you mentioned how much cheaper they are compared to DGA.

Rob Yaddi Feb 1, 2015 i'd vote for the innova model. the yellow band may actually help non-golfers identify that there is golfing going on in the park too. since the park is regularly be crowded, this may work for us.

Something to think about... if you buy 18 Innova Baskets you get a significant reduction in cost per ... show more ›

Mickey Anderson Feb 2, 2015 my only comment is when the Innova baskets age they look crappy!! and the yellow does age?

Greg Miller Feb 3, 2015

Jon, I would love to put in 18 holes right away, but with lack of sponsors and no funding from the c ... show more ›

Greg Miller Feb 3, 2015 Mickey, I spoke to Innova and they told me there is a 20 year warranty on rust and defectives. Let's talk more about this at the meeting on Thursday, as its an important step!

Greg Miller Feb 3, 2015 Jon, one thing I forgot to mention, I am getting the discount they give since I would be buying 9 baskets, hence the major difference in price from the DGA baskets.

Sean Barnes Feb 4, 2015

Do we have to go with Innova or DGA baskets? I don't know how much the cheaper Innova is going to co ... show more ›

Greg Miller Feb 4, 2015 Is that a quote or is that off a website? Could you bring that info with a picture of the baskets to the meeting?

Mickey Anderson Feb 5, 2015 Just my thought? but better baskets, chain count etc name better courses. this is an area we need to be careful!
