Thanks.
I am glad to hear that you like my courses. I am really excited about the two new ones in Carmel, the Hazel Landing course has some really magnificent tress and even a little terrain on it. It will be much more wooded than most area courses. The 9-hole rec course at Inlow is going to be ADA certified and will be a great place to learn the sport for kids of all ages, families and even for those with many types of disabilites. The Anderson course I think will be a very fun, 9-basket, 18-tee layout, and a good first course for the city.
Location, location, location. I wish it were that simple. For every place that says yes, there are many more that say 'no'. Basically I am always looking for course locations. Literally. If I am driving down the road, my mind is too often thinking about if that piece of land over there would make a good disc golf course or not. You want land that has lots of trees and open areas. Some flat and some hilly, throw in some water (to play around on the course and to drink), a place to park, restrooms, etc..... And of course there always has to be some way to pay for it all, either through the park or church, or other private donations. Safety is always a big consideration as to what type, if any, of course will work on any given site.
Funny that you mention Ellenberger. Many, many moons ago, there was an object course there, throwing at some trees that had been tagged by local disc golfers. I have talked with them several times, including very recently, and they are not interested in a course at this time.
If you would like to get some baskets set-up at IUPIU and would like someone to help show you the ropes on how that works, I'd be glad to do that. :hfive:
