You will need to make sure that the chains are on the baskets. I know that last year Rod Angel and I went there and the chains were gone.

Yep. All the chains. They remove them for the winter. Keith, do you know if the chains are missing this winter from Highland?

Hmmm.... I'll make it up there one night this week after work and report back. I'm just around the corner - should know something by Monday night.
FYI, as far as I know, the chains were only off last year for maintenice, which was a just a coat of paint. If people think that Boone has bad baskets, they won't even want to play Highland. 1 is damaged almost beyond repair, and 3 (I think) is pretty bad also. 5 and 6 suck, and 9 get tangled.

I drove through Highland Hills this evening. Looks like all the baskets are there. Can't wait to see everyone out there!

Here's the tag for this year. Once again, we have Silver Tags 1-80 and for the Bag Tag Finale 1-20 Gold Tags. Kudos to Nick for doing the Bag Tag every year.

Lookin' good, Dan. Only a little more than a week away from the shootout now. I swore I saw a forcast that showed temps near 50 for next weekend, but I could have dreamed that.

That would be sweet.
A few tid-bits: Sign up/player's meeting/lunch will be at the second shelter as you pull into the park. That's the one by the baseball field.
Tie breakers: If there are two or more people tied for first on a card, they will split all available money for that round/card. Ties for second will split second place money.

Dan, if you'll leave the box/board/tags at the store, I'll swing down Thursday & pick 'em up. Let me know if that's cool before I drive all the way down there.

There were a good number of Pine tree's that shed their branches at Highland and we probably should haul em off prior to Sunday.
Hole 9's tee had it the worst.

Hole 9 tee pad and tee sign is crushed under a few hundred pounds of broken limbs. I tried to move them but some are still attached to the tree.

Also, the bottom of the basket on hole 3 is missing so the discs just fall through.

We'll use a temp tee for 9. Probably from the road. 3's basket will be in working order Sunday.

2Timer, I thought you were a health nut...! http://www.mercola.com/2003/oct/18/worst_foods.htmHere is the section on... Soda One can of soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 calories, 30 to 55 mg of caffeine, and is loaded with artificial food colors and sulphites. I can't think of any good reason to ever have it. The diet varieties are also problematic as they are filled with harmful artificial sweeteners like aspartame. Studies have linked soda to osteoporosis, obesity, tooth decay and heart disease, yet the average American drinks an estimated 56 gallons of soft drinks each year. Plus, drinking all that sugar will likely suppress your appetite for healthy foods, which pave the way for nutrient deficiencies. Soft drink consumption among children has almost doubled in the United States over the last decade, which is not surprising considering that most school hallways are lined with soda-filled vending machines. Schools often make marketing deals with leading soft drink companies such as Coca-Cola from which they receive commissions--based on a percentage of sales at each school--and sometimes a lump-sum payment, in exchange for their students' health. School vending machines can increase the consumption of sweetened beverages by up to 50 or more cans of soda per student per year. If you routinely drink soda--regular or diet--eliminating it from your diet is one of the simplest and most profound health improvements you can make.

Maybe all of that is true. But soda is excellent at dissolving rust and corrosion from dirty bag tags....there, we're back on thread!

Steve, that may be so, however, after a few beers you won't even be worrying about the rust and corrosion on the bag tag.
