Okay... say you were going to design a course, but you can't really afford baskets yet, but wanted something to throw at; and also to show the general public what they can anticipate, what would you use instead of a basket? I have seen many things, some better than others, but I wanted to know if there are any creative, but budget friendly solutions out there that I have not heard of.

There is a lot of value to your idea. Do you know roughly how much a pole and a collar would cost; and more importantly where to get them?

Thanks for the link. It would seem that the baskets are more expensive if you buy them piece by piece, but I guess if budgetary money is slow on the draw, this still could be the very good approach.

Not necessarily. If you later buy nine complete baskets (without the poles which you would already have) rather than just one by one, DGA will probably give you a course discount if you buy that many at one time.

some of our tonal courses up here use 30lb old and used propane tanks ... just take the valve out then grind or torch off the valve end so u can fit over a 6' round 4" wooden fence pole ...... dig the dirt 18" down and concrete the bottom or just fill in with dirt and boulders ...... paint them bright red and u've got a tonal that rings and lets u know u've got an ace ...... same thing can be done with heavy used wood stove pipe, 8X30" painted red top and bottom and green in the middle a whole course done for free if u do it right.
