The interesting layout is the gotcha on this.
I'm up for the challenge! :thmbup:
There is only so much you can do on any given piece of land.....and this is no exception.
Not so fast my friend. This isn't over yet. In fact, it could be this has just begun!
I hope to get approval from the town to have this course be able to claim it is "The First Public Disc Golf Course Designed Online by Disc Golfers"! ANYBODY know of any DG course design that claims this now?
It may sound silly now, yet you gotta admit, this could be interesting... But WAIT, like on TV, there's MORE!
A Cash Prize for Best Design maybe? That would be cheaper than paying a professional designer for sure. ANYBODY ever hear of this being offered online before? If not, maybe we can do it HERE for the first time?
We could possibly use a poll here at DGCR or just let town officials pick the best design.
Doesn't that sound rather interesting? I'd like to take a shot at that myself (I got a "home field advantage"!) Hehe Or, must I be disqualified?
Believe you me I am not trying to pour cold water on your enthusiasm.....rather I hope all the amenities you mention do get implemented and can do as much as possible to compensate for what is lacking in the given piece of land (terrain, water, trees, views, space, etc).
I know you're not Dave. Believe me, I have some VERY interesting ideas I have not revealed yet... Hinted at? Maybe...
I did move some of those spare tires (+ stuck a pole in center with flag on top) to a few positions in the field to help the Town Park Officials imagine several holes. I feel they will be impressed as we walk over the property. I want to get their input and we can easily move them around some as may be needed. I sent them an email about this thread shortly after it first started. I'm not sure if they have been following it as it has evolved so far.
The thing I still wonder about is that middle woods section... Can we have permission to clear a path for at least 1 hole entirely in the woods or not?
If not, what about tee(s) coming out of them or a basket tucked in there? At this point, I have NO idea...
But it won't be long NOW! Today is the day (it's now 1 AM EDT)! We should know a LOT more in just about 11 HOURS! Myself and 2 other local disc golfers from Summerville I recruited will be there. One of them I have only met over the phone after he called me to say he found my Star Destroyer in the bushes at Park Circle. It was thrown there by the other guy who will show up who lives in the Gahagan Park area. They have not met either, but both are excited about a first ever DGC in Summervile OR Dorchester County SC. Isn't THAT rather interesting too?
Please wish us Good Luck!
