Yesss... I certainly do!! And... your welcome.

Ken--you know, first hand, how hard it is to keep that course up and running!! Thanks for the input.

Chad... thanks for the quick response & explanation of Fort Custer. I'm sure others will read the comments as well. I understand what you are saying. For the time being... I'll keep my fingers crossed for the positive. As I said in my last post...The F.C. 18 is looking very very good at this point & is challenging. Suggestions: maps and a couple of directional signs @ this point.

Ken--the future of the course is uncertain. As I said at the meeting, the DNR does not put the DG course as a high priority. The course has been forced to move/relocate/redesign annually. Seasonal changes to accomodate other user groups have caused confusion for first-time and returning golfers, vandalism to signs and tee pads has exhausted the club funds, reduced mowing, zero contributions from the park towards maintenance, signage or tee pads and an overwhelming workload on the volunters has ... more

Seasonal changes to accomodate other user groups have caused confusion for first-time and returning golfers, vandalism to signs and tee pads has exhausted the club funds, reduced mowing, zero contributions from the park towards maintenance, signage or tee pads and an overwhelming workload on the volunters has made us question whether this property is the right one for a disc golf course.
No one want to see a course pulled (especially a course as scenic and challenging as the Fort). However; no one wants to play a constantly changing, substandard, hard to navigate course, either.
Suggestions are welcome. We will know more details in a few weeks.

I thought the "Last Stand" turn-out was respectable. The course was in great shape and looked professional. The weather was just just about perfect, with only slight rain for about a couple of minutes.
Was that a ploy or is the F.C. course actually going to be closed down? I heard basicly the opposite from the scoring tables.

The TD has left the office--headed to the Fort for the weekend (no internet on the cell). Plenty of room for day-of registration. Any urgent questions--269.967.5307. Otherwise, registration opens at 8am!

What??? Where are the baskets going?? Why are they taking the course out?

Jeff Dutka    September 23, 2011 at 7:25pm

Thanks Chad! Yes please sign me up. My # is 44391 and division is AM3. My buddy Jason Garza is coming with me as well. His # is 40154 and division is AM1. See you tomorrow!

Plenty of room left, JD. Cashless pre-reg works too. Should I fill out a card for you?!

Jeff Dutka    September 23, 2011 at 6:30pm

How many players have registered? Trying to determine if I can take the chances of paying onsite tomorrow. Thanks, JD.

Our lunch sponsor fell through. Food will NOT be available at the park. We will allow all players plenty of time to eat etween rounds. Sorry.

see you sat

There's a darn good chance this will truly be the "Last Stand" for the Fort Custer Course. Come out and say good-bye.

Marty McKibbin    August 11, 2011 at 6:07pm

Ill be there. Course is looking good!

Brian Barclay    August 11, 2011 at 4:04pm

Sounds like fun. I'm going to see if I can make it!

chad curtis    August 10, 2011 at 4:25pm

We will offer other divisions if needed. Juniors, Advanced Wmns, Grand Masters, etc..
