Bay City / County disc golfers and outdoor enthusiasts - There has been more talk, by more influential people this spring than I've ever heard before. Even so, the time frame for getting a disc golf course is still evading us and may be two years away. Actually, there is talk about a disc golf course coming to reality at three different locations within Bay County.
The Bay City State Recreation Area is still considering the prospect and even have it in their 2-10 year plan. Tomorrow April 5th from 5:30 - 7:30 there is a public meeting at the Visitors Center at State Park in hopes of getting public input on just what projects should be considered for the short term plan (1-2 years). I would strongly encourage anyone and everyone to attend the meeting if possible but maybe even a better solution is to post comments and thoughts on this thread. Also a very good solution is to send your ideas to The Bay City State Recreation Area attn George Lauinger, 3582 State Park Drive, Bay City, MI 48706. Just a postcard that says "Disc Golf Courses, low cost, high return". Make sure to include your return address & name. George informed me that due to only a two hour meeting, they are also encouraging concerned people to send ideas in email or letter form and assured me that all input will go into a file and be reviewed before decisions are made.
If interested, the Bay City MLive edition has had several articles on some proposed HUGE DOLLAR ideas, none of which include disc golf. Please take some time and read through what has been suggested of late and then believe me when I say that there are a whole lot of people talking about the possibility of a disc golf course at Bay City State recreation Area and also at the two other locations nearby.
If you are posting to this thread, please do so on the Disc-Ciples page so all comments appear in one place, one after the other.
The article in this link has 5 other articles about the plans for the beach area, read through the first article and follow the links to all others. Thanks and lets show all of those in decision making positions that disc golf has a STRONG following in Bay City and the surrounding area.
