Along with Dustin's disc up at Albion Basin. Great disc and reaction catch by Catinlap.

See why we like going to Solitude or setting up the portable basket at other locales?
...and the toss!
This was at Creekside Disc Golf Course, in good old SLCo, Utah, yesterday, July 30th, 2006.

Along with buying season passes to Snowbird, we also went up to Albion Basin with the portable disc golf basket. These pictures represent our efforts.

The Map
Here is the portable disc golf course courtesy of Google Earth:
I should clarify, however, that the "holes" mentioned above are actually the tees. The portable disc basket remains in the same location (marked above) throughout.

Portable Disc Golf
Friend and Discramarian LateJC purchased a portable disc golf target. We took it to the east end of Sugarhouse Park in good old SLC and set it up in one location. We then proceeded to set up tees in various locations in that part of the park. Despite the occasional dog, wandering people, and a ultimate frisbee team we managed to get in a decent game.
We're going to Google Earth a decent course and try to play it.
Here Jeff is teeing off on Hole 1: up a hill and throw some trees.

DGA Mach Lite!
I'm so excited about my new purchase! Portable disc golf basket! TheOrris takes a practice shot from the front door to the living room.

Fun times!
The crew relaxing after a long disc golf session. The summer growth is getting thick up at the 'Tude now, so we spent alot of time looking for our discs. Croin and I both lost our putters because of an updraft and a ravine shortly after the basket.
Croin takes it to the 'Tude!
The Croin joined us for a round up at Solitude this week along with an unexpected showing of June Bug. It is getting pretty lush up there and we spent more time searching for lost discs. The loss this week was exacerbated by Late JC and Croin sailing hole 8 and ending up in the Abyss with their newly acquired putters. Despite a rigorous search neither Croin nor Late JC could find their putters. Sad.
Your intrepid reporter managed to lose none of his new discs (more on those later) simply because he avoided his nemesis, Main Street or hole 18. Yes it was a pussy-out on my part, but I'm not going to drop $35 in discs on that hole.
From left to right Late JC, June Bug, Theorris, and Croin.
Croin steels himself for a hearty day of taking it to the 'Tude.
Late JC lets it fly over Hole 7 appropriately entitled Splash.
Croin takes a flick off Splash.
Your intrepid reporter considers the ultimate in evil, hole 18: pussies out for economic reasons while Late JC looks on.
June Bug eyes hole 18 with an expert eye.
Late JC celebrates an exceptional par on hole 18. June Bug admires his discing prowess.
Our scourage. Shut up or I'll smack you a good one with my newly acquired putter.
(Ok they weren't that great, but I did pick up a par for once. Note that JC got a lot of pars.)

Tragedy on the 18th hole!
My scores were middling this week. Late JC took a birdie and serveral pars. June Bug was living it up in Vegas, so she didn't contend. Tragedy struck on the lush 18th hole and both JC and I lost our discs. You'd think they would be easy to find. No such luck.

Getting there
The lift that takes you up to hole one of the disc golf course at Solitude costs 6 bucks. Implied in the price of the game is also the posibility of lost discs. On the two outings this year I've lost 2 discs--both on the cursed hole 18.
View from the 18th hole
That's Solitude Village down there. The 18th hole gobbles up my discs. I just don't have the patience to search through all the foliage.
Late JC and the last of Doom
JC is sitting at the tee of the 18th hole. Little did he know that this was the last he would see of his favorite disc, Mount Doom. He had a great throw and made it almost all the way down: search as we might, however, we couldn't find Doom.
Hole 17
This basket for hole 17 is placed in quite a scenic spot. We regularly hang out at the shack in front of the clump of trees. Its deck collapsed some time this winter, making it more precarious to sit on.

takin it to the 'Tude
Another photo from last week. Late JC (middle) took this one at the tee of Southstar/Northstar (hole 6).
