Basket 7 has been reported and the city will be bringing out a portable welder to fix it.
The city does not want us installing the new baskets until after the beginning of April 2012 due to the cold.
John Minicuci November 12, 2011 at 9:32am
So we should target 2, 5, and 12 then have 7 welded better?
I will call the city on Monday but they may be closed so it may have to wait until Tuesday...

Looks like the welds on the basket on 7 are broken. If just the basket itself and not the entire thing replaced it should be in good shape. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong on that.

So the Motor City Chain Gang Brag Tag is purchasing 3 new baskets for the course. We have been told baskets 2, and 5 are bad. I also heard 7 and 12 were bad along with 17 not being in great shape.
Any suggestions on which 3 we should target, post up here or send me a message...

$5 random glow doubles tomorrow night at 6:30-ish if we can get a few people together.

Found a disc with a red light taped to the top on 17, initials DRB on inside rim. If it's yours tell me what it is and what color and I'll get it back to you.

I lost a yellow pearly Orc on 4 Monday night, Kink was writing in red ink on the back, the stamp was wiped. Jay went out Tuesday morning and someone was already there picking the river clean. Reward of course if returned.
John Minicuci September 29, 2011 at 12:01am
An red old school Aviar putter went in just north about 20 feet from 12's basket. Jeff Bauman and "Madball"'s names are on the back. The blue faded graffiti disc thrower stamp is on the front. It is vintage, well tuned, and was mine. If anyone found it, a return will be provided...
Dan James lost a Pro tye-dye Beast on 18...

Had a blue goldline striker go in at the point of the creek on 18 right where it gets kind of shallow at the pennisula. too murky to see anything, and since we finished in dark, couldn't go back. reward for return

Jeff, I do not mean any disrespect. I am not just speaking to speak. I worked/lived in Detroit. I know the area. I think a course on Belle Isle would be great. I would make the drive from Waterford to play it. However I am just saying. What you hear from the Detroit area is not rumors. Belle Isle is a great place during the day. However at night, not so much. I like to see more courses go up. I think there needs to be more courses in Waterford. There is one small course called Bayco ... more

I've had my hand in a lot of course development in this area. The Belle Isle idea, albeit a great one, is not a new one. Detroit's Lasky Disc Golf Course went in a few years ago. It was supposed to be folowed up by a family rec center featuring an 18 hole disc golf course that disappeared as fast as the economy fell. Here's an earlier thread on DiscGolferUs website: http://discgolfer.ning.com/group/bidgc?commentId=1809917%3AComment%3A1965010
Hopefully, this idea can now begin to get some legs under it. I'll help if need be...
Jeff Dutka September 24, 2011 at 12:32am
Please don't just assume the worst about the City of Detroit. If the course was built and a strong outreach program was instituted to educate folks about the game, I think it could be successful and sustainable. Much like basketball and soccer, disc golf is an inexpensive sport and could be marketed quite well to inner city youth. This is also a self serving mission in my mind. I'd love to throw a few rounds on Belle Isle, grab some dinner in Greektown and then go see the Tigers in the ... more

@TJ, good point. I sometimes forget about the soft under belly of society.
Break out the hand warmers and stable plastic and come out for Freaky Friday Skins: 40 degrees and WINDY tonight according to Weather.com. Next Friday will be our first league round included in the 2011/12 Winter MiCoPS. It gets pretty chilly on Friday nights through the season and that gives our rounds plenty of opportunity to qualify for Ice Cold Double Points!

John: It looked like 7 was fixed from what I saw yesterday. Thanks for alerting the city!
