"In case you are wondering, this wedding cake was made to look like a Disc Golf Basket. There was a PDGA tournment here in Lubbock and this couple was participating at this tournament as well as getting married." i wouldn't recommend throwing any discs at it.....or else just throw all your discs at it!

Portneuf Valley, Idaho
This basket is one of three...created by an independent basket maker in Idaho.
"Rumor has it that Idaho Steel took a shot at making 3 such baskets just to see how they could do it, but then decided they would have to sell them for $800 if they were in the business."

Somewhere in Gym Class
Found these targets being solicited to the gym classes of america. That barrell one is almost $140 and I'm quite certain I could build it to specs with $75. Doesn't matter though.....indoctrination should start early and at any cost.

Somewhere in Time
....what ever did happen to Iron Maiden?
Found this one on a history site. Certainly looks like a Cone Basket from the mid-west. I want to make one just for novelty sake.

Basket Plans
Found some handy do-it-yourself plans. Maybe I'll try 'em out.

Bow, NH
Some seniors at Bow High want to make a 9-hole on their campus for a final class project. They are looking for some donations so they don't have to shoot the posts anymore. Check out their web site and hole descriptions:

Rock and roll! Check out the efforts of these cool folk working to bring the Bay State another great place to toss. Their first big work event is set to happen this weekend. I wish you good weather and great energy. Here are the temporary targets that will grow this course.
I went to the Home Depot this morning and bought the rest of the materials for our temp baskets. After some experimentation, I figured out that the best way to cut a hole in a tennis ball is by using a drill with a hole-cutting attachment. The utility knife method was just too difficult and dangerous for me (I've lost enough fingers already thank you very much). Once I exerted some pressure on the ball to flatten it a bit, the drill cut a nice hole through the ball. It took me a few tries before I got it right, but once I learned to go slow and steady, it was no problem.
Next, I drilled four holes in the bottom of the buckets to make it kid-proof and slightly less attractive to thieves. My prototype from last week did not hold, so I'm going to try some different adhesive this time. It's hard to find adhesive that says it works with plastic.

Oh and by the way....check out all the possibility for expansion on this course. Damn!
