Do you want
to make a difference in your local disc golf course?
If you are
interested in maintaining a teebox to basket at
your home course,
click
on the link below, click on your course tab and fill in your name next
to the basket to
teebox #. After doing that please email the webmaster of your
entry on the
spreadsheet. You will be responsible for
maintaining the teebox
(both long and
short if
applicable), the fairway, and the basket.
Teebox:
1. Keep it level. Build it up slightly if possible to keep water
off of it
2. Keep Teebox marker in good shape with basket distance
and
teebox number on the teebox marker. It will
usually be a post, sign, or inlay.
3. Have the front line of the teebox marked. If possible,
the sides of the
teebox also. The recommended dimensions of a teebox are 6 feet in
front,
going back 9
feet, flaring out to 10 feet wide.
4. Please do not make any radical upgrades without the
permission of the
person in charge of the course.
Email this website webmaster and your upgrade will be permitted or
denied with a reply.
Fairway:
Keep
trees trimmed to where there is a line from the top of the basket
to
the ground. Keep bushes trimmed that
grow around trees.
Use your judgement on free standing bushes.
Baskets:
Baskets should have the number of the basket on the pole or upper
band
if applicable. If there are two sets of
chains, there should be two
separate rings connecting the set of chains
together. If there is a ring
missing, you can use heavy gauge wire to run through the chain loops
and crimp closed. If there is only one
set of chains, consider the purchase
of another set of chains to
be installed on the basket. If you are not sure
how to proceed, contact the webmaster on instructions.
Also look
for bolts missing on the basket pole.
