Hi Everyone,

The Army Corp has the baskets and money and is ready to finish the Beach City Dam course. If they can get enough help, they plan to finish clearing, setting the baskets and pouring the concrete tees by Oct. 10th. A lot of people volunteered to help and now is the time to show it.

Hunter from the Army Corp will be on site from Sept 25th until Oct. 10 (except 10/5,10/6,10/12,10/13) with the Army Corps' equipment. After that he is leaving for another position and we may not get much of the Army Corp's help after that. He would like help any / all of those days that he is working from our volunteer group. There are plenty of dates in there to help out. Please respond to this email if and when you could show up to help out.

If we miss that window, they cannot guarantee when they will get the staff and the equipment back to finish it.

Things are moving ahead with the Beach City Disc Golf Course. The baskets have arrived and are on site. The next step is to finalize the clearing. The Army Corp staff has a good start but needs as ... show more ›

Things are moving ahead with the Beach City Disc Golf Course. The baskets have arrived and are on site.

The next step is to finalize the clearing. The Army Corp staff has a good start but needs assistance. Several people volunteered to help and now is thre time. The Army Corp is going to be busy until after Aug 22nd. In the meantime, we would like to organize some clean-up / clearing days with those who have volunteered. Anyone who has completed the volunteer form can go out and clean-up, weed wack, prune and do minor clearing with hand tools until then.

We would like to set up group clearing/clean-up days on Aug.26th, Sept 9th and Sept 16th. If we can get enough cleared to where the baskets won't be in danger of the clearing operation, the baskets can be set. The Army Corp will dig the holes and provide sack-crete.

At the end of Sept. the final monies will be released and signs can be ordered and set along with the conc. tees. The Army Corp will excavate the pads, order the concrete, and have concrete buggies / loaders to transport concrete. They would need help setting forms and finishing the concrete on a day(s) tbd.

Please respond if you are still able to help. Bill Griffith... '[email redacted]'... 330.936.9423

The Beach City Dam course is finally 100% approved and all the 't's crossed. Baskets are due soon. The Army Corp has started rough clearing the fairways that have been marked. Several people volunteered their time to help with the course and we need to let those people know so they can help with the clearing. Anyone wishing to help, contact Bill Griffith at 'bill.grif1952@gmail,com'. Anyone who wants to help needs to get a volunteer agreement form from the Army Corp.

We are tenatively looking at a preliminary course tour next Thurday evening April 13th at 6:00 depending on the weather. After that work days will be scheduled.

The Beach City Dam Course is going to happen. The approvals have been made, the funding situation resolved, the course design has been approved, and fairways have been marked for clearing. The only remaining issue is to collect the funds from the sponsors who have verbally offered to buy holes so the baskets can be ordered. I have a partnership (sponsor) application now that I can send out to anyone, group, or company that wants to partner and get their name on a hole. The cost is still $600 per hole. You can team up with some friends and get a team hole. Send me an email at '[email redacted]' and I will send you an application. The sooner we collect the funds, the sooner the course will go in. Partners will get their names on their tee sign(s) and the kiosk.

Does T County DGA want another great course? I am working with the Army Corp of Engineers on a course at the Beach City Dam. This would be like Dies Hill without the Blue tees and less hills. They are applying for a grant and are looking for local organizations to provide 'donations'. This helps with the grant process when it shows there is local support there. The donation can be money, a basket, or time. That can be offering to run an event there, help pour concrete tees, find other sponsors or what ever. They need to apply by Sept 5th. They are more interested in organization donations but will accept private donations.

This could be a pretty great course and it's only 15 minutes from Dies Hill. You could run a 2 course tournament there and fill out both courses.

Let me know if the club or anyone else could help out with this.

This could be the last winter before disc golf takes its first step into the mainstream. There's been a couple of ESPN ace highlights in the past year. The sports network sees it as a novel, quirky highlight opportunity to keep viewers' attention, and the interest of the broader publicly may have been collectively piqued? In 2016 the mainstream sports fans will be able to take a closer look. There will be 3 new pro-tours debuting next year with strong financial backing, including a world tour and two espn broadcasts confirmed. What will they think? Will it be taken seriously?
Allthingsdiscgolf.com has been following these trends, including discussions on how course design and development can shape the legibility and legitimacy of the sport as it pushes through some growing pains of disc golf's 'teenage' years:

hello. I just played my first round of disc golf today and I'm hooked. I live in Dover so I went up to check out the Deis Hill course with a few discs I picked up at Play It Again sports in Canton. No clue what I was doing really but I had a blast. I was snooping around the internet trying to find any information that I could and I stumbled upon this site. I'd really like to get involved in some disc golf stuff in the future and maybe play with some experienced players that I could pick up a few pointers from. Are there any novice friendly events that I could participate in? Any feedback would really be appreciated. Thanks!
