Clear bunkers?

[cphilip]

Man! Plexiglass is not cheap stuff! So if you are getting them free then great. Hope its legal!

Yes you can paint em if you like. That stuff gets right brittle so your gonna have to frame it with something. And the paint will help keep the UV from degrading it so much.

It would be kinda novel to play with em clear once or twice. I mean your both at the same disadvantage are you not? Might take on a whole new game logic with it.

net bunkers

At my feild we have a few net bunkers on our woods feilds. It's great, Players don't realize at first that there is a net, and balls bounce off of net, so the "slow" players never figure it out.

I have found a cheap(Ie free) source of 1/4 inch 4ft by 8ft sheets for plexiglass.
What I want to do with it is to make bunkers for our field out of it. I have tested the duabilty for it and it will take to punisment of repeated hits.

Should I make them? or would I be messing with all the players minds? And would you play on a field with clear bunkers?

Let me know thanks.

if youll search pbreview i suggested this a year or more ago. it seems like a good idea at first, but then everyone would know where everyone would be and they could see if you were about to run and tag ya. i mean, SOME bunkers on a field would be cool, but not all. maybe like one on a side. or make it the centerpiece and make it huge

Thanks for your help on this subject. I think that I am going to go ahead with them as clear and if it doesn't work out then I will paint them different colours. And to answer the all important question yes the are legal I know someone that where they work they use these sheets. When they have a corner chipped or broken they throw them out.

I played a sup air feild that had a very small net bunker in the center of the 50. It was a single peice of framed netting only about 2.5 by 2.5 feet. It was great! I called it 'the God bunker'. It was at a tournament and I got to it a few times. I would sit there and call out the positions of our opponents. The best part was I'd often have at least one person shooting at me. I'd just sit there and watch the paint come in! It was a 3 man tournament, and would you beleive that in one game all 3 opponents were wailing away at me all at once! I just coached my guys right up to them and they were bunkered!

I thougt it was great! But I can see the novalty wearing off.
