Maybe news to the DGCR community, but another gem of a course is in peril due to political shenanigans. Put simply, One of Cincinnati's 'Big Four' courses, Osage Grove, in Goshen, Ohio, is at risk of being closed. In a nutshell, the state requires them to put in a bathroom, but the powers that be refused to allow a levy to go on the ballot. The people aren't going to be given a chance to vote for (or against) their park.
The politicians don't seem to care about the years of work done by volunteers at the park, much less the labor put into the DG course by Adam, Drew, Kurt, and dozens of others (Heck, there have been at least three or four new tees added this summer!) But we have an opportunity to do something about this one. We need to help the GoFundMe campaign, which will let the park (and the course) survive. My suggestion is to dig out those discs you don't use, make a concerted effort to sell a few this week, and consider dropping half, all (or double!?) the profit into the fund. Not a lot of sweat off our brows (doesn't take a lot from any one of us), but if a couple hundred folks on here would do this, it could be a substantial push to show the politicians who controls things.
...Who's with me?
