The remaining tee signs have been removed - although # 8 was stolen and no has mysteriously reappeared. In all we are missing a total of 3 now. The County is looking into a more vandal proof solution along with repair of the fence between the course and the apartment complex.
Other news - it looks like we are going to be able to add 2 more practice baskets along the green space in front of the tennis courts as well as more trash cans.
It would be great to build some benches too - any body want to take on that task?
Darwin Wright - City Beach - is likely getting a face lift. We are planning to move 7 holes and relocate them to a more disc-friendly part of the park. We are hoping to add 3 more hole to bring it to a total of 12. The idea is to add 3 more over the next couple of years until we get to a full 18.
Looking to have a singles - for fun event in May or June - any ideas?
Also, the Easley tournament that is usually on 4th of July weekend is now June 23-24 and will be at Greer and another location, possibly the Trails. Check out High Fly Discs.Those are some great guys that love disc golf and really want to see it take off in the area.
Oh yeah - any body interested in actually forming a disc golf club in Anderson? Would we like to establish weekly doubles? Or a league night? Hollar at me if you want to run with this. topflight@velocitydiscgolf.com

trails update
this week I have hand many calls and emails about the future of the trails.
one - this is really cool because so many of you call this little oasis "home" as our first real disc golf course in Anderson.
two - you care.
there was an article about a company leasing the woods where our course is located to build and operate a zip line business. zip lines are really cool and i am happy to tell you that after talking with county parks & rec they have assured me that there is not a conflict and I will be able to work with the company (if this really happens) to ensure flight lines for our course.
the two new holes have been overwhelmingly popular (the tee for 5 makes it seem HUGE. the two new tee pads should be poured this week.
we are looking to do a real grand opening along with an ace race event on October 22. The Discraft website actually lists us on the 29th, but that is incorrect.
if you want one of the "trails" discs we did as a fund raiser for the course I have a handful left. they are $15 for a Gateway wizard putter and mini.
let the discs fly....
