UPDATE: Keizer Rapids DGC stolen basket

So... we were able to raise $100 from 9 people that showed up for the Drive It Like You Stole It tourney... PacWest will match those funds raised and I have requested a match of $200 from Keizer Parks Foundation (of which I have been assured will be granted) will cover the cost of a new Basket and shipping. The goodies for the tourney winners will be in this week... Sorry I didn't have them on the day of the event.

Cheers and thanks to the few that showed up to do the right thing to help replace the stolen basket!!!!

Meeting with Willamette Mission State Park Supervisor: Items discussed Layout and design.

Meeting with Willamette Mission State Park Supervisor:

Items discussed

Layout and design. The Parks Supervisor asked us to reevaluate a small part of the course where Hole 1 and Hole 18 conflict with horse boarding and bike camping. We concur with his concerns, and we will review these basic changes with the three Oregon Pro Disc Golfers that we have assembled to help in the final draft of the Wheatland DGC design.

Wheatland DGC Logo. The Parks Supervisor accepted our initial draft of the Wheatland DGC logo for Tee Signs and Basket Signs (He actually got pretty excited about the project after seeing the logo, I think it sparked his vision for the potential of this course)

Funding (Most importantly). The Parks Supervisor committed to buy 17 baskets per his annual budget, and Pac-West DG volunteered to purchase the final 18th basket for $400 to complete the 18 hole course. Pac-West DG will also be providing Tee Pads and Tee Signs. (He wants to get parks supervisor reviews from other courses before he commits to allowing us to place Concrete Tee Pads.)

Clearing of fairways and points of interest to protect. He stated that we could begin clearing fairways as soon as May 1st. Points of interest to protect are Madrone Trees and no trees in a fairway 8” in dia within 50ft of a tee pad.

Cheers

But planning to have a par 56, (hopefully 58- fingers crossed), with wooded and more open holes.

I'll keep reporting as I have/get more solid information.

Mike Wilson”

“WHEATLAND DGC” has a tentative funding commitment by Willamette Mission State Parks Staff for the 2013 Budget for new disc golf baskets.
Mike has been working hard on this project for the past year and our hope is that is comes to fruition this summer of 2013. Nothing is certain in these types of projects with government agencies until checks are written and ground is broke. But, we are confident that this project will move forward this summer.

WHEATLAND DGC LAYOUT DETAILS:


18 holes + practice basket (provided by State Parks)

Course length just under 5900ft

Par 54-58

Mix of L-R, treed and open holes

Most holes will have alt pins

18 - 5x10 Concrete tee pads (provided by donations and volunteers PLEASE HELP!)

If you would like to help on this project through fundraising or ground work please print and fill out this Volunteer App Form http://oregonstateparks.org/files/individualvolapp.pdf and mail it Pac-West DG PO Box 20428 Keizer Oregon 97307 or scan and email the Volunteer App Form to [email disguise]

Donations for concrete tee pads can be made via PayPal to [email disguise] 100% percent of your donation goes toward the project. Credit card is also accepted upon request.

And make sure you come see the Pac-West DG booth at the Beaver State Fling

The "unofficial official announcement"

I have been working on getting a new DGC in at Willamette Mission State Park, north of Keizer, near the Wheatland Ferry. Nothing will be official until the first branch is cut on the first fairway during the first clearing/work party.

Planning on par 56, (maybe 58- fingers crossed) with both wooded and more open holes.

I'll post more as more news becomes available!

Hope you are as excited about this as we are!!!

Jason "Rooster" Bruster   March 28 at 9:34am

Pac-West DG will be at Beaver State Fling

Disc Golf Marathon-100 Hole Tourney for Canyonview Camp Fundriaser

We are looking at running a 100 tourney for Canyonview Camp, Maybe May 11th, that would be our first time having the real course layout in place. It would be like a Jog-a-thon in fundraising format, in that each participant would try to raise $2.00-$10.00 per hole from outside sources, businesses, family and friends. Each buisness may only give $0.05 a hole, so there will need to be some kind of commitment. The goal is to raise $27,000 for our Camp. Our regular golf (like with a club and ball) f ... more

Our regular golf (like with a club and ball) for the past 2 years raised $35K and $32K. Entry fee would be $50 and you would receive a disc and teeshirt, lunch, and giveaways, and the raffle prizes will be vacations, disc golf bags, discs, food, paintball games, a bike, and much more. Let me know what day would be best in May and who would want to get behind this with me!!!
