Folks, Feb 9th, 2006

 
On Jan 4th our last big hoop was navigated when the Parks Commission approved
our
pilot project disc golf course in Elysian Park. I have in my hand right now the
completed
Right Of Entry permit that gives Discsports In Southern California 3 months
(March 1st –
May 31st) to install the Chavez Ridge course. It is signed by the Metro Region
Superintendent and Chavez Ridge is now one GIANT step closer to becoming a
reality.

We will be repairing trails, constructing tees (5' by 10' boxed tees packed with
decomposed granite), and digging post holes to put in targets and tee
signs. There is also
some trash that needs to be hauled up to the ridge top road. There is a good
amount of
work to be done. Please sign up to help if you have not done so. Most work
shifts will be
on weekends but please note if you can be available for some weekday (Friday?)
work
parties also. Go to www.burbankdiscgolfers.com , click on Chavez Ridge and then
Information to access the sign up form. You can also email Mike McNamara at
chavezridge@... with your phone, email and availability. If
you have
friends or disc golfers with course installation or construction experience –
please send
them our way. Volunteers need to fill out a LA Rec and Parks Volunteer
application and a
fingerprint waiver form – Cliff has these and Mike McNamara will soon have some
also.


If you want to be contacted for the upcoming installation planning meeting –
please call or
email Cliff 323-574-7678 – clifftowne@...  We will be setting the date for
this
meeting soon. Meanwhile, pat yourselves on the back for the role that you have
played
(and will continue to play) in getting this course in and celebrate – this is an
attractive spot
and we are finally getting the chance to put a disc golf course in Los Angeles!
