Yes there was positive stuff. They like what we are doing out there, but there was just that 1 thing. Illegal activity. The city council had nothing negative to say. They seemed happy with what we have been doing, but they didn’t really say anything. We talked to a few before the meeting none had anything bad to say. Overall I think the city is pleased with us. The illegal activity complaint came from the Public works director, but I think we are golden for some time to come. ... more

Alex asked for info on grants for course improvements. Thanked them for allowing us to be there and told them what we have accomplished as far as charity tournaments go, and our contributions to the community.
Permits for tournaments is still to be determined, but there was good feelings from them too. We still need to get together with them when they have time. Didn’t really get into it very much.

Sorry for the just negative stuff, but that one bad thing could get us closed down eventually, it is getting out of control again and it is only going to get worse if nothing is said.

Also, not everyone is a part of discgolfscene, so if you see someone breaking the rules, or not being descreat, please nicely pass on the news about the city. And to add one more thing, watch your alcohol intake all together. There's been a couple insidents where people have drank way too much and passed out. That's just uncalled for and asking for the police to come out. Let's remember this is a sport and we should try to give disc golf a good reputation! Thanx:)

I lost a dark purple Champion Destroyer Sunday. Its got my number on it, i putted on 17 or 18 and left it. It'd be cool if someone picked it up. We'll see i guess

David "Super Dave" Perry    January 27, 2011 at 8:41pm

Sweet, Rod. Hoping it will be my first sanctioned tourney!

RodFather Hess    January 27, 2011 at 9:09am

The Riverpark Open is sanctioned for the 4th and 5th of June. Lets start preparing for this!! It's going to be a great year!!

Rustin Pomeroy    January 16, 2011 at 12:33am

I lost a 175 glow destroyer with a blue 2009 Las Vegas Halloween Classic Stamp of an Evil cat on it, on hole 1 by wood piles. It had no name or number on it. $20 or Favorite Plastic reward if found. Thanks.

The city just told me that they are going to do some work on the riverbed in the hole 6 area and that they are going to dump some rock in there. Please give them the courtesy of not throwing while they are there working there. Use your best judgment. They are going to make the area muddy they said. CRAP !!! I asked them to let me know if we need to move the basket. We may need to bring an old basket out of retirement. Just guessing. Could happen.

Rick Wardell    December 13, 2010 at 8:10pm

Just wanted to say thanks to those that showed up for the work day. We got a lot done. Still more to do, but what we got done looks good. THANKS

Rick Wardell    December 11, 2010 at 8:36pm

Work day is on. See you out there @10:00.

Rick Wardell    December 10, 2010 at 9:11pm

I'm still planning on working on the course tomorrow. Don't know about anyone else, but I will be there at 10:00. We will have to see if the ground is firm enough to drive on, but so far so good. If it is raining probably wont be out there long. Bring a wheelbarrow if you have one and can bring it. Don't forget rakes and shovels. I'm thinking we should work on the back holes, and maybe the city will finish the top holes. Don't really want them tearing up the back holes with there tractor. Still need to spread chips up top though.

Justin H    December 8, 2010 at 11:34pm

I am going out for a while this morning. some spreading i will do.

Rick Wardell    December 8, 2010 at 10:10pm

If anyone wants to rake out the chips around the baskets, go for it. I was thinking of leaving it fairly thick under the basket. The chips will settle and get spread out soon enough. Just make the area level and cover the dirt.

The tee pad areas need a thin layer around them to reduce the amount of chips from being dragged onto the pads, but go ahead and spread the rest out. If you think there is too much in some areas take the extra to the alternate baskets that they didnâ€&trade ... more

The tee pad areas need a thin layer around them to reduce the amount of chips from being dragged onto the pads, but go ahead and spread the rest out. If you think there is too much in some areas take the extra to the alternate baskets that they didn’t put chips on, or anywhere else close that you think needs them. Might need a wheelbarrow for that.

We can do all of this Saturday or if someone wants to do it before then that’s fine. Looks like it might rain Saturday anyway. If it doesn’t rain too much this week we can drive trucks out there, and get some work done. The tractor did some damage but it should be fine by spring. I think the damage by original hole 2, in the ditch can be fixed now if you want. I am hoping they will do more chip spreading. I asked for all of the baskets, and pads to be done. Don’t think they will go out to the back holes though. We will need to do that I think.

Of course if you are playing go ahead and kick some around while you are waiting to throw too

Rick Wardell    December 8, 2010 at 2:20am

In that case we will have a work day. Hope they didnt tear it up too much.

Rick Wardell    December 8, 2010 at 2:18am

Awsome!!!! I was hopeing they would do something.

David ''Eky'' Ekenstam    December 8, 2010 at 2:07am

The city went around to most of the tee pads on the top and dumped a bunch of woodchips. They just need to be raked around better.

Rick Wardell    December 8, 2010 at 1:49am

We may still have a work day this Saturday 11 Dec. but we will have to see if the grounds firms up, or freezes. I will post if we are working or not, Friday morning. Keep an eye out. Like I said in my first post “if you want to take wheelbarrows out there go ahead anytime you want”. Don’t need to have a work day for that.

RodFather Hess    December 6, 2010 at 7:08am

What a fun round, "Triples" and skins. Thanx Todd, come back soon!!

Rick Wardell    December 3, 2010 at 6:32pm

Due to the warmer weather, and snow melt this week, the ground is too soft to drive trucks on. We just don’t want to leave too many tire tracks on our beautiful course. Hopefully the city won’t go out and tear it up today. We will shoot for next week. Thanks to those who were planning on coming out. Hopefully you can make it next week. If you can’t we will understand. Please get the word out.

Just moving this back to the top again.. I will be working this Staurday and next Saturday.

We were thinking of having a prewinter work day. Too late I know, but we should try to get some wood chips spread out around the baskets, tee pads, and trails. I asked the city to spread chips around all of those areas, but I am not counting on that happening. I was thinking of Dec 4th or the 11th or both. Bring shovels, rakes, wheel barrows, and anything you can think of to move and disperse chips. I ... more

There is always extra tools to use. I was thinking of starting around 10:00 am and playing the 1:00 tag round. Perhaps if we get on a roll some of us may work thru the tag round. If it’s too muddy / slimy we won’t be working. If the ground is frozen we can still work. We don’t want to tear up the ground too much with trucks. If someone can’t make it out Saturday they can work anytime they want to. Just spread chips anywhere you think we need it. It’s all good.
