A local course owner, with whom I have a good relationship, is being bullied by someone upset over not being able to use part of the course for other activities. There are threats of a social media campaign, protests, etc. The person attempting to bully the course owner is basically throwing a fit and raising every possible issue that she can to scare the course owner: essentially throwing everything agains the wall to see what sticks.
The primary concern that the owner has are environmental issues raised regarding two holes that are bordered by a bayou. Of course, discs occasionally make it into the bayou and the bully is essentially screaming bloody murder about the environmental issues raised by the plastic going into the bayou.
I'm putting together some talking points for the owner to defend itself against such criticisms, like pointing out that the discs do not float and do not go downstream (bayous don't typically have fast moving water) and that local golfers routinely go disc diving.
If anyone has any good information, talking pooints or arguments that you think might be helpful with this issue, I'd deeply appreciate posting it here.
Also, does anyone know that type of plastics are used in the discs (PVC, PET, HDPE, LDPE, etc., or mixtures thereof), that would help me research additional helpful info.
Thanks in advance!
