Thanks Alex Colucci for all the help.

I hope you all enjoy the updates/upgrades!

I know it’s very last minute but I’ll be out at the Grassman Thursday from around 7:30 am till around 4pm. We will be resetting/moving several tee signs, adding new kickboards on the short tees, moving logs to tee areas for seating an overall general cleanup and trimming. If you would like to help please let me know.

+++++WARNING+++++

Just to let everyone know I have been told Copperhead snakes have been seen between #6 basket and #7 tee and also down by #7 basket. I was told they are around 1.5 ft long so they are most likely babies.

If anyone else can verify this i would be appreciate it. I would like to have more proof that they are for sure coppeheads. If I can get some more verification I will contact Ohio Wildlife to see if that can be removed or what other options we have.

I lost my Go To Orange Star Leopard on eleven about 12 feet off the land at the beginning of the water to the left. It hit the last tree before the first set of water and kicked left from the short tee. The water was pretty high maybe it will turn up, but it's probably a goner.

Scott Campbell    April 18, 2016 at 7:03am

If you visit the Grassman this weekend you'll notice some big changes. Several trees have been cut down. This was to groom the course a little and for safety, There where several large dead trees that I wanted to have removed so that baskets or players wouldn't be smashed. Some small tress where removed to open a couple of fairways. you'll notice the most change on Holes 17 and 18 shorts. I'll be moving on both tee areas on 17 and 18 short also. Please be patient with the cleanup and with re-positioning of the tee areas.

Scott Campbell    December 8, 2015 at 7:54am

I'm looking for some fellow golfers in the Ravenna, Kent and surrounding areas to help me with general maintenance and help with getting a club started at the Grassman.

Jay Kovach    December 6, 2015 at 9:36pm

Why is the 9 listed as the main course? Just curious

Scott Campbell    October 25, 2015 at 2:06am

I've been hearing some good feedback lately. I know several of you have commented or talked to me about hole 17 short. I am defiantly going to be moving the tee area for that hole. I have a couple of places scoped out. The one I liked the best is to the right of the tee sign, in front of the tee sign. It is a straight shot at the basket. It's a short tunnel that opens up. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Also when I was building the course I was focused more on the white tees. Now that the whites have cement I have turned my focus to the red tees and have been reevaluating some of the short tee areas. 14 was moved. 16 I have been opening up a route to the right. Along with that I'm trying to clean up the fairways more to give the shorts some cleaner lines.

Planning for charity events for two of our local disc golfers are under way. I am looking for sponsors to help with donations for prizes and raffle items to help raise some funds to help some of our own out. If you have any ideas or contacts that you think could help, please let me know. The first event will be September 13th to help raise money for Mike Broda.

Planning for charity events for two of our local disc golfers are under way. I am looking for sponsors to help with donations for prizes and raffle items to help raise some funds to help some of our own out. If you have any ideas or contacts that you think could help, please let me know. The first event will be September 13th to help raise money for Mike Broda. Another event will follow around the end of the month or early October for Bill Savage and his wife. This includes everything and anything, and any help will be greatly appreciated. Both events will have 100% of proceeds going right to each individual, and this will include entry fees and any other monies raised during the events, with things like raffles, 50/50, and anything else we come up with. Please keep an eye out here and on facebook for more info and spread the word to help support those who really need it.

I am contacting any disc golf company I can think of. So far MVP has committed to send something. I'm also going to reach out to some sellers and goods manufacturers like Keen and Grip. We could use help with local business donations for each if you have any ideas on your part of town. I'm working with some east side locals to do just this. Disc golf retailers, restaurants, whatever. I have a typed letter if anybody needs it to help show this is legit. Just let me know and I can email it to whoever needs it.
