Thanks to everyone who helped make yesterday's event a success. In spite of the
rain, we had a good turnout and raised a substantial sum to help out Men's
Initiative. Although many were soaked, all were smiling! See you out on the
course!

Bwire;

Thanks for the email and chiming in. I'm not sure who you are since the email address is new to me. While the entire process related to the re-design of the course left much to be desired all around, I'm not quite sure that the Parks Board should shoulder the blame here.

In the end, the Parks Board was left with a faustian bargain dictated by the Board of Supervisors to re-design the course under extremely strict conditions.

Yes, the original design also included the long distance between holes 1-18 and in many people's view including mine, it was less-than-ideal. When I asked the designer about it, he told me it was his intent to give players a quality course while minimizing any damage to sensitive areas of the park.

As I mentioned to Cubby, the lesson learned here needs to be that when proposing and building new courses, disc golf advocates and designers need to involve not only the local government folks, they also need to involve any potential neighbors in the design efforts.

Design-by-committee? Are you serious? There were many viable alternatives offered by the members of the "Discgolf Sub-Committee" that answered most of the objections. These alternatives even started and ended the course in the same area. The original course, supposedly designed by a professional, had tee boxes in stream beds and the first and last hole 1/2 mile apart. The course that you have now was proposed by your Park Board. Any of the sub-committee proposals would of been 1000% better than what your Park Board gave you. You should have consequences of design-by-committee (sub-committee). What you have is consequences-of-design by Park Board. That is why this is the worst course that Cubby ever played. Be sure to send this response to your PB and BOS just to lay out the facts! Oh that's right ... facts? What facts?

All;

This guy runs what is probably one of the better and most-frequently updated blog in re: Disc Golf and I keep it on my RSS reader as a way of keeping up with comings-and-goings in the DG world.

He visited Windlestrae recently and it left a very negative impression on him: http://cubbysdiscgolfworld.blogspot.com/2008/10/24-hours-on-road.html

Here we are at Windlestrae Park. This course has Holes 1,2,3,4,11,5,6,7,8,9. This is the worst course I have ever played. (emphasis mine) The distance between holes is way, way, way, too long. When you finish Hole 9, the walk back to hole 1 is way, way, way, way, way too long. A great course was planned to be installed here but from what I understand from someone working at the park is that complaints from neighboring homes caused the layout to change to it's present terrible layout. This course in it's present form should be pulled as it will discourage new players from ever playing another round of Disc Golf. There is so much land at this park and so few holes.

It's unfortunate that we're getting this negative publicity but it should be shown to the Parks Board & Supervisors so they understand the consequences of design-by-committee.

-Neil

FYI folks;  there have been two arson incidents in Rose Twig park over
the past weekend.  Both fires did not cause significant damage
(portapotty and playset). But its worth keeping an eye out for any
suspicious behavior.
