Hello everyone. I am trying to find some people interested in upgrading the disc golf course at Hopkins Lake in owosso. If you haven't been there in a couple of years, it is already much improved. Tim law of the rainbow bar raised funds to put in excellent signage, no more getting totally lost out there. He also cleared out a lot of the brush. Unfortunately, personal matters have kept him from doing a lot this year, but I am a friend have been trying to take up the slack. I have put in two cinder block keypads, and have a commitment from the city to put in four to five more concrete pads next year. I think what we really need the most is for some local people to adopt a hole and maintain it a couple of times a year. Most of the holes take care of themselves, but holes two through seven require some weed whipping and even brush control probably twice a year. What would be even better is if we could get supplies and expertise to construct a basic bridge over the drainage ditch that you have to cross to play holes five six and seven. Anyone with a connection for repurposed lumber would be great. I probably have a connection to get used telephone poles which would be great for the main spans.
The course has a fair amount of potential. It is a good mix of short and medium to slightly long holes, there is an above average amount of elevation change, and water does come into play as well. I'd like to make this a good course, but I can't do it alone.
On a personal note, I am hoping to get back a disc that I lost at Sleepy Hollow a while back. It is a disctroyer sparrow, White, that was sold to me personally in Estonia by the owner of the company. I forgot it was in my bag and threw it in error, didn't even have a chance to put my name and number on it. I would gladly give a reward for its return in good condition.
Thanks,
Mark Piotrowski
