Fairmont Disc Golf Course Project Update: Aug. 10th, 2013

(let me try this again to correct some errors & omissions)

Thank you the people listed below were on-site, Thursday Aug. 8th, working on the Fairmont Park Disc Golf Course Project. Among other things, they helped finish the installation process of the 10 new Innova DISCatcher Pro baskets. The 2013 course remodel & expansion will not be complete until all new signs & concrete pads are installed. However, this was obviously a very important & exciting step forward.

and me too.

Thursday evenings activities totaled three hours of work, completing the following tasks.
1. Installation of 18 temporary tee signs. (18 permanent tee signs & a new main sign will be installed this fall)
2. Covered (bagged) the old tee signs. (They will be removed by RL Co. Parks very soon)
3. Assembled the 10 new Innova DISCatcher Pro permanent baskets.
4. Moved 4 of the existing DISCatcher Pro baskets to their new home (#1, #5, #6, #9).
5. Installed 10 new DISCatcher Pro baskets... some to their new home, some to a *temporary spot.

Note: A few baskets are in temporary spots w/ temporary numbers on them. This is because our 19 new matching pad locks are on back-order, thus we can not make all the existing/new basket swaps just yet... sorry for the inconvenience. (I can elaborate if needed).

Once again, thanks to everyone who has worked on this project so far. A lot of hours by a lot of people have been put into course design, fundraising, construction planning, and last but not least manual labor. However, if you feel like you've missed out in helping, there's more work planned to get this course up to A+ shape. Stay tuned for details on those mini-projects.


Sincerely,
Rick Petrie
