Those who were present and had time to talk about Brewer, mentioned how nice it would be to have a course similar to the old Blue design. I agree that it would be nice to see a short course available at Brewer.
It would also be nice to see the ground maintained to a point where it is not so squishy...like near hole 9 of the north, a bridge and possibly some ground cover made of chipped wood from the course could help. A suggestion to create some sort of drainage field through the area of south 3-6 would be beneficial to the course. Possibly a series of drain tubes with coverage of chipped wood. Also, to try to reduce the a mount of litter on the course, it would be helpful to have separate trash receptacles and can/bottle bins.
Make up rounds are going to be available soon. We (GRDoD) are hoping to have a collection box available at the course(s) soon. It may be a portable box so that we can take it from course to course, or leave it at the course of play throughout the week. Security of the box is an issue. Do we lock it and risk vandalism from those who are dishonest and feel they must break into locked things just to view the contents???? Right now, the lock is a debatable thing, yet having an area to store stuff is a primary thing. Scorecards will be available, and made of regular paper due to the possibility that people might want to use scorecards for their normal rounds of play. The same box will contain a spot to return cards.
Baskets and items needed to make the course itself a better place to be played, require funding. Miniature tournaments, or challenges for fundraising were part of the discussion. Even donations of discs and other items for raffles or special CTP/LP holes were part of the discussion.
Course design itself will occur at another meeting at some point in the near future. I am hoping to have the original great minds of Earl W. Brewer Park design involved. Opinions of many are definitely wanted, so once the layout has been designed, I will try to post it in various places so people can see it.
I am hoping that I didn't miss anything, but I will continue to keep you all posted as best as I can. Thank you for your time.
