Dear DISC members,

 

It has been a while since the last DISC update. It is either that we are lazy,
or too polite to
clog your in-box, or too busy trying to get a disc golf course into Elysian Park
or some
happy combination of the above. After preparing the Elysian presentations for
Park, staff,
politicians and the CCSEP neighborhood group, I have gained new respect for the
bullet
point style of presentation. So here is the news:

 

-      The presentation for the Citizen's Committee to Save Elysian Park went
very well. All
6 (of 16) members that had actually visited the site with us for a walk-through
approve of
the project! The others have until the May 4th  vote to do a walk-through.
Difficult as it is
to believe – they may very well give us the go ahead to install this course!

-       

-      The Ventura Club has installed the baskets on a BEAUTIFUL, exciting
course at Lake
Casitas Recreation Area (between Ventura and Ojai). The pads will be poured soon
(they
are doing World's Biggest there on May 14-15th). This is a challenging Pro level
layout –
they can be very proud of themselves for this course. We may try to shorten a
few holes to
help things flow quickly for the Fling on June 4th.

-       

-      The Fling IX is not quite halfway filled, but entries have been coming in
steadlily – so
be sure to get your entry in if you are playing. We have 2 more of the Friday
night only
camping spots available ($24.50 - $18 plus $6.50 booking fee) and 5 of the two
night
spots on reserve ($42.50 - $36 plus $6.50). M campground is right off the course
with a
playground and facilities – nice!

-       

-      The course has elevation, character and some water may be in play. Bring
comfortable footwear, some extra socks and an extra driver. Also come early if
you are
coming on Sat. (it may take some time getting through the front gate).

-       

-      DisCovering the World is holding a Grand Opening celebration at their new
location
on Sat and Sun, April 23rd and 24th from . DTW is now at 6455 Roland St., Buena
Park, CA
90621 714-522-2202 (less than 2 miles east of the old store). DISC will set up a
table (I
will be there Sat morning for sure). Anyone that wants to help at the DISC table
on Sun or
Sat afternoon – please contact me. We will have a DISC information board set up,
maps of
the proposed Elysian course, Fling IX flyers and maps/scorecards from the
Ventura Club of
the Casitas course. Come on out and be sure to thank Dan and June for their
consistent
support of disc sports in Southern California!
