Meeting with Willamette Mission State Park Supervisor:
Items discussed
Layout and design. The Parks Supervisor asked us to reevaluate a small part of the course where Hole 1 and Hole 18 conflict with horse boarding and bike camping. We concur with his concerns, and we will review these basic changes with the three Oregon Pro Disc Golfers that we have assembled to help in the final draft of the Wheatland DGC design.
Wheatland DGC Logo. The Parks Supervisor accepted our initial draft of the Wheatland DGC logo for Tee Signs and Basket Signs (He actually got pretty excited about the project after seeing the logo, I think it sparked his vision for the potential of this course)
Funding (Most importantly). The Parks Supervisor committed to buy 17 baskets per his annual budget, and Pac-West DG volunteered to purchase the final 18th basket for $400 to complete the 18 hole course. Pac-West DG will also be providing Tee Pads and Tee Signs. (He wants to get parks supervisor reviews from other courses before he commits to allowing us to place Concrete Tee Pads.)
Clearing of fairways and points of interest to protect. He stated that we could begin clearing fairways as soon as May 1st. Points of interest to protect are Madrone Trees and no trees in a fairway 8†in dia within 50ft of a tee pad.
Cheers
That is wonderful news for us all and well done Pac-West and those involved in driving this proposal forward. This is a great day and step forward.
I have re-vamped the course layout to meet with the areas of concern and they will be emailed to the park for their approval. Hard to believe that I'm roughly 20 days away from possibly beginning to clear fairways for a new DGC!!
Great work Mike and let's do it up right, proud to be accepted to the group and ready to get it done
