Lubbock, Texas - over weekend of July 18-21 ish. There has been a rash of vandalism on the news recently at McAlilster Park (Legacy Play Village and Baseball Fields). The disc golf course now is part of the vandalism. We lost a basket, hole 14 at the far SW corner of the course, sometime over the weekend. The basket, I believe a Mach V, was removed from the pole base. I had locks located a few inches under the basket portion...thus the pole of the basket will have a hole in it a few inches under the basket portion. Also, I painted one of the 'spikes' on the basket orange (to point to the next tee). I'll put up $100 myself to get the basket back and to handle the theif. Disc golfers unite and control theft at all courses. Contact me with any leads (806-798-8381).

Also, the tee post for hole 12 pro was hit and damaged. I don't think these incedents would be related.

Bummer.....

You may have already done this, but make sure you file a police report on the stolen property and be sure to inform the park authorities as well. The replacement cost for a new basket may be covered under the municipality's insurance policy.

Good luck on locating the culprit. If found, let the courts deal with him......

Yep. I contacted the city. They were to take a look at it and then I think were to file a report. I'm not sure of replacement issues. It is sooooo sad that players don't respect the sport, courses, volunteers who sweat and spend time and steal baskets or cause damage to a course....part of by DG frustration (see my line below :(). I think it would be a miracle if we find the person and get the basket back.
