Anyone scrambling this weekend??

John Sales    January 30 at 10:20am

I'd be happy to write the city at that site and express how much I love the course. Question. What is the purpose of writing the city? Is this to encourage the return of #8-9? Or to express our need for two replacement holes? Or for another purpose? Thanks.

Please remember to write to Medina City Parks at medinaoh.org with your positive comments about our course and our community.

I am visiting from fla. I heard about your course and was planning on playing it while here (Cleveland). Is it possible to play in snow? Tried to throw on a course in Parma today but just about lost disc on first throw. Can you use glow sticks or is it a lost cause while snow is so deep. Am wanting to play Thursday if possible.

Scrambles are now on Saturdays @ 11AM!

Shame, upsetting, but change is part of the game. Only 1 hole from 1977 left there. Surely there is potential out beyond 2's basket and 15's basket to add 3 quality holes? Could be an opportunity to further enhance a constantly evolving course. 7,8, and 9 were great holes tho- nice range of scores possible.

Michael Stonestreet    October 12 at 8:36pm

Yeah, and it's a shame that some players can't control their language and the drug usage on the course. Also players need to realize that the walkers have just as much right to be there as they do and just be courteous to them. It would be a terrible loss to the disc golf community if Roscoe was pulled.

Mike, This is why I think its about more than the tracks and the railroad. If I had to guess, I bet the parks department gets a whole lot more complaints about the course from walkers that the trains. While we were cleaning up for Roscoe's Rage, I had someone who lives by hole 3 complaint to me about the language and drug use they has witnessed on the course. I'm sure the city has received these same complaints. To me, this whole rail road situation just seems like the beginning of a push to re ... more

Mike,
This is why I think its about more than the tracks and the railroad. If I had to guess, I bet the parks department gets a whole lot more complaints about the course from walkers that the trains. While we were cleaning up for Roscoe's Rage, I had someone who lives by hole 3 complaint to me about the language and drug use they has witnessed on the course. I'm sure the city has received these same complaints. To me, this whole rail road situation just seems like the beginning of a push to remove the course entirely, but I could be way off base.

The city is extending the walking trail into down town and Medina Square. This is just going to attract more people to the path and the park. This is just going to add more danger, and more complaints about the disc golfers throwing things by them. And lets face it, many golfers do not handle sharing the park with the walkers as it is.

I've heard rumor that there is an agreement that the land must be used as a disc golf course, but I don't know that for sure. Lets hope that's the case.

Thats just ridiculous, so what about anyone walking on the sidewalk that isn't a discgolfer, are they in trouble for crossing the tracks there? Why not just close the whole road off so cars won't cross the tracks either. Do they know how assenine that is, can't cross over or under the tracks?

Team Jenkins    October 12 at 8:48am

The railroad does not want us crossing the tracks over or under. We had to remove that nice bridge between holes 9 and 10 too.

Jay Kovach    October 11 at 11:44am

Can't imagine it not going back fingers crossed, how about Petition?

I sent this to the paper: My husband and I have been the course pros at the disc golf course at Roscoe Ewing Park since 1991. Baskets 8 and 9 were installed by Guillford Rd. in 1993 to increase public awareness of this fun sport. It saddens me to have these baskets removed. We have hosted many professional tournaments at this course and it has nurtured six World Champions. This course is utilized all year long.

This course is utilized all year long. Roscoe Ewing disc golf course was ranked #3 for one of the best courses in Ohio making it a destination for out of state players.
It's unfortunate the railroad has made this "illegal crossing" into such a big issue. Roscoe Ewing Park is the oldest disc golf course in Ohio making this park a historical landmark.. We will miss this unique design.

Brett M,

The pins for 7,8, and 9 were pulled by the city as there had been complaints by the "rail road company" about disc golfers on the tracks. From what I have heard, there are efforts to design 3 new holes to put the course back to 18.

IMO they are being unreasonable. I don't think the majority of the kids playing on the tracks were disc golfers at all. Just random kids. I also don't think the city realizes how many people this course attracted from outside of town, and how much pulling 3 holes will really hurt that.

brett m    October 10 at 7:41pm

plz put back 7,8,and 9

adam woodward    October 10 at 2:59pm

Wednesday scrambles now at 5PM. Come out and play!!!

JOIN US for a good time at a park with a lot of promise for disc golf!

Concrete tees coming at Portage Lakes, 7:30 AM on Saturday, May 19, we are pouring concrete for 10 to 12 tee pads. The mix truck is on order and we will be working from the parking lot by the PLDGC sign. Wheelbarrows and concrete tools are needed. Please let me know if you can help, and if you can bring a wheelbarrow. Thanks in advance.
