Holes.

[Sir Trevor]

I'm working on doing a map of the existing rat puck holes to date.




Maybe we can work out where to put some more before the season starts too.

[Sir Trevor]

Here are the 5 holes I remember off the top of my head

[Penfold]

My brain isn't working real well right now, but...

Can we through on this map a few quick markers?
Entrance gate, joust, chessboard, maybe fairyland...just for reference?

Those are all ones I recall as well that I see marked.
I think we'll have to redo the "over the gate" hole #1 as I don't want to experience the stinging insects of doom or the tower again.

I had an old one near the gypsy stage that went from the joust path to the stage, but I'm not sure of a good target over there now. Perhaps there is a nice tree I can tie a cloth to or something for a target.

Definitely need to fill out and have one back towards the chessboard somewhere and one or two around and in fairyland. ;D

[Sir Trevor]

I was just thinking the other day that we should make one actually inside fairyland ;D
As to the one by the gypsy camp, I can think of 2 options.
Hit/land on the vargo
put it inside that cook-pot they have outside
Both really good targets, as long as they aren't doing anything at the time.

I will put a couple of reference points on the map to make it easier to get your bearings. Also need to re-draw the holes a little better (kind of a rush job when I did it).
Think we need something by the field of honor as well. Maybe something using that little platform with the steps as the target.

[Allyn]

I think there should be a "Sword School" hole! Would make for some interesting interaction. Allyn

[Sir Trevor]

If sword school ends up where they have been talking about, I could see it being a good 1st hole.

[QueenGwen]

O.K. guys...I'm lost ....What is a rat puck hole....and what are they doing around the shire...and why don't I know about this...I feel so left out....

[Sir Trevor]

Oh no!
We cannot have the Queen feel left out

Ok Rat Puck is a game. You hurl rats from the end of a stick. The object is to get the rat to hit the target in the least amount of tries.
Kind of like golf, but much more fun.
Here are pictures of some of this seasons fun tylisaari.com/medieval/glmf04/rat.htm

We are still trying to figure out where to put more holes around the shire. That way we can spread the fun over the whole place

If you have the time next year. Feel free to join in when we are playing.

[QueenGwen]

Oh...I get it now...thanks...sound like fun. Does Penfold provide the rats?

[Britny Ylisaari]

He has four sifferent rats that he is kind enough to let people use.

[Sir Trevor]

Yes, Penfold has rats, plus Britny and I will have our own next season as well.

I would be honored to step aside so the queen could puck in my place. If the free time ever arises. I know you usually have a very busy day when you are at faire.

[QueenGwen]

Well, I must fit this in! Gramercy for your offer Trev....I'll take you up on it!

[Sir Trevor]

Penfold, what do you think of the changes to the maps?

Whenever you get a chance, post the hole details.
Then I can start adding those too.


Almost forgot to mention, I made the map pics click-able so you can see a larger size of the map.

[Britny Ylisaari]

Much better with the changes.
A lot easier to tell where the holes are.

[Sir Trevor]

Ok Brian.
Whenever you get the time, the energy, and the motivation to do it.
You can go ahead and post the information for the holes we have so far.
Number of strokes.
Target.
Stroke off options. (gee, that really doesn't sound right )
