Woodmansee #4/13 and #5/14 Moved For the Month of April
***PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT***
During a recent walk-through of the Park with City of Salem Park Department Officials the erosion of the hill on holes #4/13 and #5/14 was noticed and raised concerned in the Parks Department.
After further discussion with the Park Department, and in partnership with Willamette Valley Chain Gang DGC and Capital City's Woodmansee Groundskeeper Stacey W, the baskets for holes #4/13 and #5/14 will be removed from their current locations starting April 6th.
The current plan is to place them in the "B" locations for holes #1/10 and #2/11. Signs will be posted that instruct players to throw TWO drives from #1's tee pad, one for the "A" location and one for the "B" location, and to hole-out both drives to each location. The same instructions would also be posted at the tee pads for holes #2, #10, #11 thereby making up the four missing holes while still keeping the course a full 18. After playing the original hole #3 and #12 players will be directed down the path to the right to the tees pads for holes #6 and #15.
While the baskets for holes #4/13 and #5/14 are moved players are asked, and signs will be posted, to stay out of that area as much as possible to allow for the restoration of the hillside. At the end of April another walk-through is scheduled with the Parks Department. The better the hillside looks the better chance we have to get the baskets moved back faster!
***Thank you for you cooperation!***
two holes lost is better than all 18. I hope we can respect this decision as disc golfers
