Gentlemen, It Is ON!

 The Course Cleanup Challenge, sponsored by Anderson Chiropractic and Massage:

Adam Jones needs our help to get the Osage Grove Disc Golf Course (at Kathryn Stagge-Marr Park in Goshen) ready for competition by August. He’s put in hundreds and hundreds of hours out there.

Here’s how YOU can help.

Make the work into PLAY.

Between now and July 31st, play each hole for a real score. Until the baskets are in place, you’ll need to bring a portable and put it as close as possible to the intended location. Tee boxes are in; fairways are, well, fairly obvious; and the ‘greens’ are usually pretty clear, or have a marker set up.

Here’s the catch, for each hole, you set up the temp basket and then spend a minimum of 15 minutes clearing debris from the fairway (anything you wouldn’t want to hit if it was YOUR lawnmower). Once you’ve put that time in, tee off! Then clear a 10’ radius around where you landed. The greens ought to become pretty spotless, pretty quick!

You’ll record your disc golf score and a second ‘cleanup’ score. The cleanup score would be a Bogey 4 (boo!) if you didn’t put in 15 minutes, a Par 3 for doing so, and you can earn a Birdie 2 (yay!) for really helping out, and spending 30 minutes on that hole. Clearly, it’s not intended that you play 18 holes in one go, unless you’re really young, energetic, and have the time.

Once you’ve played each of the 18 holes, post your score on this thread, so folks can shoot for the Cleanup Course record (feel free to PM me (Sisyphus – Jeff Armstrong), as well, and I’ll try to keep a more formal record, too). Play as often as you like. We’ll need to do this on the basis of an honor system, but going out in groups could be real fun, too. The best score by the end of July wins a free initial exam, 2 x-rays and a half hour massage at:

So let’s get it going, folks!

Example: I only had time to play five holes this morning (1-4 & 16), and shot 2 strokes over par, but spent 15 minutes tidying each hole. So, at this point, I’ve got a first line of  4,3,3,3,4=17, and a second line of 3,3,3,3,3=15, for a total after 5 holes of 32 (Par for 18 would obviously be 108). I KNOW there are folks out there dying to lower that mark by at least five, right? It’s NOT a race, but I wonder who will be the first to post a full 18 hole score…? And if you find a spotless fairway, you can count time on others, or check in with Adam for any tasks he needs done next. We’ll have this thing ready for the CCS!
