Maggotx Catch-Up Post from the Last Few Weeks.....

It's Field Hockey Season..!!!!....so Maggotx and the Missus have been visiting the Field Hockey Twins at their various Venues throughout th East Coast.... This has diluted playing time from Disc Golf as well as THE BLOG.....So therefore the need for the Ketchup post....So....Without further ado......here is what I have been up to...

Visited Salisbury MD for a Field Hockey Invitational. In between games visited the very nice Schumaker Pond DG Course.  This is a very nicely constructed compact course,  with a pond on one side and trees throughout.  However, you need to watch out for kids playing in the park.  Really nice to play when nobody is around.

Below; a photo showing the multiple basket layout....very nice

A day off on Saturday AFTER Field Hockey to see the Extremely Lovely and Talented Lisa Bouchelle at the Record Collector in Borderntown NJ.:

Then this last weekend we visited Washington DC for a Georgetown game and visited the sites.  We were lucky to get a beautiful club room at the Sheraton in Arlington VA, with a GREAT view of the DC area....check out the pics below....

Maggotx VA Trip

Maggotx and Mrs. X went on a two day sojourn to VA to watch Field Hockey Teams do Battle in the scathing heat of the Virginia Shenandoah valley.  JMU had a very nice field with a great view of the mountains....impressive...

We stayed at a gorgeous brand new Residence Inn by Marriott ....really cool room layout...complete with LG flatscreen and iHome wake-up alarm. 

While in VA we managed to get a round of Disc Golf at the beautiful Westover DG course in Harrisonburg VA.  This was a really nicely laid out suburban park.  Nice teeboxes, baskets, the layout flowed well and was easy to follow.  Luckily it was hot when we [played and there were few people walking about.  It could be a problem on busy days.  But I would give it a 4.5 out of 5.  Nice elevation changes and some beautiful views of the mountains.  pics below:

Superman Visits Philadelphia....will he stop by Miggy G's...?

 
One of America's most enduring superheroes has begun a cross-country trek in Philadelphia.

In the pages of DC Comics' latest issue of Superman, which hits stands Wednesday, the Man of Steel embarks on a yearlong journey of more than 1,000 miles with a single step. But for all his strength, insight and intelligence, he still has a thing or two to learn about geography.

The 500 block of South 48th Street (less than 2 miles from the Miggy G's residence) is described as the city's "South Side," though no such neighborhood exists in Philadelphia. The area is actually a section of west Philadelphia known as University City, and the flub has generated a little bit of good-natured ribbing from locals.

Check out the Local News Video Link Below:

http://news.yahoo.com/video/philadelphiacbs3-15751053/superman-grabs-a-cheesesteak-20862910

"We really love to hear that because it means people are reading it and there's a sense of area pride," DC Comics co-publisher Dan DiDio said. "If we stand corrected, that's OK."

Superman issue No. 701 marks the first installment of the 12-issue "Grounded" series that aims to re-establish the 72-year-old superhero's role as defender of the powerless, a theme that resonated with Depression-era readers.

During his trek through the city of Brotherly Love, Superman foils a crew of heckling drug dealers  , saves an elderly man having a heart attack and talks a despondent woman off a ledge _ literally.  Our Krypton-born, Kansas-bred protagonist lacks schooling in the finer points of ordering a cheesesteak _ he inelegantly dubs it a "Philly cheese steak sandwich" _ but the waitress taking his order lets the faux pas slide. She also cheerfully allows the cash-strapped superhero, who was a vegetarian in another DC series several years back, to work off his bill by cleaning a storage room.  This is really supposed to be Philadelphia?

"They didn't do very well, but they tried," Robert Lefevre, manager of Brave New Worlds comic book store downtown, said with a laugh. "Maybe they confused us with Chicago, which has a South Side. And 'Philly cheese steak sandwich,' nobody says that."  Still, he said customers are responding positively to the issue and sales have been brisk.

 Superman's next stop is Detroit, where issues like unemployment and poverty will be woven into a superhero story line, DiDio said. Subsequent locations will be determined based on a recently completed essay contest that asked fans to write about their town and how Superman inspires them.

The next day we played Disc Golf at Simonds park in Burlington Massachusetts.    It was a very pleasant and challenging 9 hole course.  The only downside was the Poison Ivy undergrowth if you didn't stay in the Fairway....and as the Blog readers know...Maggotx has trouble staying in the fairway....   anyway here is some info on Simonds Park.

Fun little course

 2-4    11/21/2009   11/21/2009Review By: whitewaterhelix
Played: 29  Reviewed: 8  Exp: 1.8 Years

Pros: Convenient location, decent variety, good baskets, tons of parking, good lines on all holes will make you use a variety of shots, good use of space, skatepark/playground/etc. also in the park.

Cons: Short, all par 3, poison ivy in the summer is everywhere, undergrowth needs to be removed from rough (p.i. and lots of tiny trees trying to grow up), people walking dogs through course, some trash

Other Thoughts: This course reminds me of a mini-amesbury as it is nestled into a pine forest for 7 of the 9 holes (other two are open field holes). It is short and won't test your arm, but does offer some challenging shots for birdies (I was stoked to birdie #5 by parking the basket with a Wasp, this is a great hole). The 330' open field shot does let you see if you really can throw over 300 feet like you think you can :-)
Will be a great little course with more TLC, teeboxes and clearing of the underbrush. Not much fun in the summer with all the poison ivy! It would be great to see a few of the holes made a bit longer or have alternate tees, esp #6 and #7 could be backed up some. #7 is nice but would be an even better challenge if set back about 30ft further so you have to throw through those first two trees. #8 could also be moved back into the corner a bit more perhaps?
