how you like my homemade basket? 

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....

BEES

Massive swarms on #16 around huge fallen tree.  BEWARE!!!!

the redesign is done....on paper and we are working with the county rec folks to help us with getting the new fairways cleared and new tee pads poured.

the sign has a fresh coat of paint after more vandalism

still need 4 more sponsors....if you know someone, let me know - it is $500 for a 3 year deal

3 more practice/ handicap accessible baskets are to be placed on the walking path around the tennis courts soon

need to so a work day soon to clear back some brush and spray round up

don't forget to pick up your trash...and that of others

thanks

DB

Meeting with contractor today about clearing

tee signs are in for all holes expect #3.  Still need 5 hole sponsors - $500.  somebody out there knows somebody.

new arrangement of hole is approved -3-6 will have a new configuration.  Only have to plant one basket (the one missing from 3)

June 5-6 is river days at dolly cooper park on the saluda river in powersville.  in conjunction we will set up a temp course on the property - hopefully we will be able to put one there permanently soon.

at the trails - we have approval to add 3 more practice baskets along the greenway near the tennis courts for a pitch and putt- practice-ada-kid-friendly area for disc golf

Bee are gone btw - thanks for the help!!!

Update at the Trails

Hello Anderson Disc Golfers.  I hope you are enjoying the great dg weather.

I wanted to update you on the goings on at the Trails.

1.  Two weeks ago there was a huge amount of vandalism all over the civic center complex.  Our message board was spray painted and the big disc golf banner was ruined.  We have managed to clean up most of the baskets that had profane comments

2.  There was some wild weather that knocked down some limbs and trees - thanks for getting a lot of that cleaned up already. Still need to cut down big tree on #5 basket.

3.  There are bees all along the creek # 12 & # 14 - bee careful.  I have chemical to kill them - it must be mixed and sprayed at dusk or dawn.  i am highly allergic, so I need someone to step up who can handle this...any takers?

4.  You all know about the adjustment to #2 and the removal of #3 because of property boundary issues.  Just wanted to say thanks to the landowner who came over and cleared out around the new #2 basket.

5.  Looking to hold a next event on May 21 - Ya'll want to run singles or doubles?

6.  I have tee signs 10-18 to install - hopefully by the end of the week.

7.  We have figured out the best solution to the missing hole.  The current  plan requires some debris cleaning and tree clearing.  We have a little $ for that so we have called the company that helped us the first time.  More $ would be better - still have 5 holes to sell - 3 year sponsorship with name on tee sign and on map sign for $500.  Anyway - to help the course be continuous the plan is to change #5 to #3, #6 to #4, place a new tee box up on the hill near the new #4 (old#6) basket and shot at the current #4 basket (it will be a long downhill shot with a little right turn.  Then come off what is now #4 basket (it will be #5) to the left and place a new tee box near the trail and fire up towards the current #4 tee box (this will be a short hole - new #6).  What this means is two new tee pads and one new basket placement.  This will keep a good flow to the course and allow a bit of interest in the distance through the trees, downhill and a tight shorty to set you up to continue at the existing #7.

All that clear?  Anyway -hoping we are moving this week on this.

Hollar back if you can help out, know a sponsor, have an idea or love disc golf!

David
