What would you do to Mesker?

If we can get the city to do some improvements what would you do.

Here are some of the things I have thought of and heard from others

1) Bridge/walkway over #2 Ditch area
2) Bridge from #5 Basket to #6 Tee Pad
3) Stairs leading up to #8 Tee Pad
4) Stairs leading out of Nine's basket
5)???

One other thing I think would be nice is a "warm up/throwing" net similar to What is out at USI. Maybe along the woods by the practice green.

One nice thing to have would be more sleves in the ground to offer an alternate pin positions. That would also require a need for updated hole signs as well. It would be neat to have a B location for several holes. This would also allow more challenge for multiple round tournaments where you could essentially play a different course at a two round tournament. Also I would suggest having score cards available with yardage for players to pickup before the round. Maybe have some kind a lock box by the sign with score cards you could pull out. Its a great course thanks for all the hard work so many people have put in to make it a great course!!!

What do you think is better.....

multiple pin placements or multiple tee pads

my vote is tee pads. the reason being, if you have pro and recs playing the same course at the same time it is much better to have short and long tee pads to accomodate both. plus you don't have to move baskets in between rds.

I have played courses with multiple pin placements and it is fun, but i still like two tee pads better...just my opinion

My home course has 3 pin placements and I think that that is much better. The novice players that play the shorter tees eventually move to the longer tees...I think it is better to play the longer ones and get better at them. Shorter tees allow people to play shorter holes at the same par, but why not make a higher par for novice and have them strive to make par 3s?

There are positives and negatives to alternate pin positions. Negatives being that you would have to move them between tournament rounds, players arguing over i want the pin in position A this time where the other would want position b, A couple of positives would be: One time it could be a hyzer shot, next it could be an anhyzer shot, At most courses it's cheaper and easier to have alternate pin positions than alternate tee pads. If it was any course other than Mesker my vote would be on holes that don't have long and short pads you could have alternate pin positions, then it could be like 2 or 3 courses in 1. Just my opinion. Mesker is great the way it is though.

Great comments on the course....
I like hearing people talk about their thoughts, and I will offer the thoughts behind my comment as well. I said alternate pin positions because there are many holes with alternate tee pads. I don't know if there is a need for alternate tee pads for every hole, or alternate pin positions for every whole. But when you combine the two.... alternate pins and pads on a variety of holes you produce a completly different course. Sure it maybe a hassle to move baskets but play a round and move them as you play. Its not that big of deal to move a basket. In mind is #9, Imagen the alternate location on that hole. longer////shorter???? I think longer and little more up the hill would add a lot of challenge. However if you go shorter...perhaps on this side of the bridge maybe up the hill, you add another ace-able hole to the course. Its a great course the way it is, but does that mean it cant be better? We are talking about little tweaks but its those tweaks that separate the good courses from the great courses. My opinion... its needs both pin and pad alternates. Its has pads so it makes sense to now add the alternate pins. I live over an hour away from Mesker Park, but I consider it my home course sense there is no course closer. If you add the sleeves Ill come move the baskets when needed.... so that argument is taken out of the discussion. ITS A GREAT COURSE I AM SO GLAD ITS HERE FOR US TO ENJOY!!!!!! Thank you so much to the many of you who have put time into building such a fun course!!!!! Your work is not often noticed, but its because of you disc golf will explode in our area! If I can help in any way let me know!

New pin placements are a great idea. I've felt for a long time that hole 8 needs a new one. I think that putting a pin placement further down the gap and cutting out some trees would make that alternate hole pretty sweet. We would then probably have to put a small bridge over the creek though. Just somehting to throw out there. I dont know the overall opinion on that hole but I personnally think it would be a much better hole throwing from the alternate tee pad to a different pin placement versus from on top of the hill. All good though. Who are ya rkay24?
