Up In The Air Disc Golf › Belle Isle DGC October 25, 2013 at 11:52pm
The Belle Isle Disc Golf Course has been a lot of hard work on the property all volunteered and thank you to everyone who has been down there on the course working with us. I appreciate it very much as do most of our local disc golf community. The fact is Detroit City is what it is and we all knew that after everything we spend and sacrifice on for disc golf on belle isle it might not stick. We have always been given permission by who is required to give it to us to do everything from cutting the grass to catering special events just so we can get you all out there and play. I wish it was open full time but unfortunately it's not our park to control. We have been respectfully dealing with all the people down there at the park and in the city. Even with all the changes of positions we have upheld positive relationships and have been blindly throwing time and money into the course in hope that it will stick for good. If you are all about helping us and keeping things positive about disc golf in Detroit please come out this Nov 3rd to connect with us and help show them how supported and used this course could be. If you don't agree with what we are doing or believe we don't have our city's and local disc golfers best interest in mind always then we apologize for that but please believe we want this to work no matter what and will continue to fight for our goals. If we are not the most clear about our status it might be due to the uncertainties we are facing ourselves and as things become more certain we will post.
You work and intentions are above reproach. I too hope all can understand the vastness of this undertaking. Patience and understanding are the only options available and I think all involved have done nothing but exercise them in volumes. Please accept this as a vote of support and appreciation for all the work toward making this dream a reality.
Few, if any, things do not have sport as the key to meaningful success and failure. This goes for generals and chefs and all who wish to learn from their struggle. It is the piece that reconciles the competition / cooperation polemic. You will succeed because you touch the sporting instinct that is present everywhere.
