Somewhere in the Patent Office


Came across this design registered to a Michael Holgate in Charlotte, NC...so don't even think about stealing it! Curious about other target patents?

This is what it's all about! These folks are well on there way to building a grassroot DIY disc golf course on their 107 acres of camp land. My only suggestion is, why stop at 9? Good luck guys.


Brendan Wiechert, chair of the Strategic Planning Committee of the Camp Cross Commission, and Bob Gronberg of St. David’s constructed the prototype of the Camp Cross Disc Golf Basket. Conclusion: it is awesome. Shortly following, the Larry Hayden, owner of the Spokane House of Hose, made a generous donation to cover the most expensive parts of the baskets (chains, hose clamps, and zip ties). Long story short, we are nearly there for the rest of the funding to complete a DiY 9 hole disc golf course. Once we get the parts, campers can put them all together, and bring the joy of disc golf to Camp Cross. If you’d like to help make this happen, whether with a gift (we need another $100 total) for the extra wire and poles we need, or by helping us grow our armada of disc golf discs ($7-10 each, we currently have two), email me and let me know. Let’s make this happen this summer, better start working on your short game.

Somewhere Out There




This is the most unique submission I've seen in quite some time. Jason M. sent this beaut sweetly dubbed 'The Towel Rack' to me a couple of weeks ago (I apologize for the lag time.) If you send them, I will post them though! So send them!!

This is a cool use of spare parts and just goes to prove that you can probably build a suitable target right now for no money down! Awesomeness!!

I want to start by thanking you for dedicating a site to showcasing the many unique and creative baskets folks have come up with. Just this evening I created my own contraption which I affectionately have nicknamed the Towel Rack. While it may be unconventional, it does catch pretty well from at least 15 feet and the chain configuration makes that awesome "ching" sound that's so addictive. It's quite sturdy and was thrown together with stuff I had lying around the house - PVC piping, some galvanized chain, an old bath towel and some zip ties. If you like it, feel free to post it on your site.

Thanks and happy golfing!

Jason M.
