They're hoping for a grand opening type of thing by Labor Day. This speaks volumes for the level of growth in popularity for Disc Golf, as in previous years they were considering tearing the entire course up.

We've already installed all the tee sign posts and put a good dent in the new fairways yesterday but there's lots more to go.

Ibuprofen to the rescue.

You got a headache?
Speaking of which, any chance of helping me get rid of this god-damn popup any time soon? Please?

I did send you a PM a couple of weeks ago, but there was never any follow up so I thought you figured it out.

Pics:

Showing up to the site. It was a perfect day for it:

Old playground removed by the PD:

Carving a new fairway for hole 12.
I wish I'd have thought to take a before pic.
Here's progress at about 40-50% completion.
It was completely overgrown with absolutely
no way in, but I cleared it before my help arrived.
The pink tape was our guideline for cutting:

Cut and drag into piles for the PD to clean up with a chipper this week:

The roughed in fairway. I'm standing at the edge
of where the tee pad will be. The basket will be
way in the back where that large tree is thats
barely visible, which is dead and needs to be stumped
to about 24" and then the basket will be mounted in
the stump for a bit of an elevated putt. This will be
the new Hole 12, 280 FT, with a Double Mando and slightly up hill:

It was fun to get out with my old pal Jimmy.
We put a couple of other courses in years ago,
so we work well together. We knocked that
out in about 4 hours.

Yes, I'm writing this in the style of rostasi.

Here's the concept for anyone following along:

Thanks Mindy. Not as large as starting from scratch, but there's still quite a bit to do.

No, the last PM you sent me said something along the lines of give me time to settle in at work and I'll get back to you. I didn't reply because what would I be saying, just like okay thanks? Anyway no: it's still there, lurking like some demonic blue grinning phantom in the bottom right-hand corner, so if you can make the time I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Plankton · 04-04-2022, 09:44 AM

Well, I've settled in, so there's that.

Now you do.

Oh wait, sorry, I thought you said "friend who was willing to give some of his valuable time and expertise to looking at my issue". My mistake.

Plankton ain't nobody's bitch.
