Almost exactly five years ago when I got the OK to build Hyland disc golf course, I had to come up with a way to get the baskets. I came up with the idea of allowing people to pitch in on a basket and in return I would give them a lifetime membership. This idea worked out so well, in a few weeks I had 18 baskets.
As we all know, the course could really use a tee box upgrade. There were a few good reasons why the tee boxes were built the way they are, but I am not going to get into that.
I am going to offer up lifetime memberships again. I will accept two people to split the cost of materials, which will work out to be $500 per box I am going to build boxes using pavers like you would see at Tully disc golf course or hole 1 Maple Hill gold. I have reserved the first nine boxes for members of Team Hyland. Sponsors will get their names on a plaque that will permanently attached to the tee box.
If you would like to get in on this opportunity there are a couple ways you can pay.
PayPal donjboutin@gmail.com
Bring money to Hyland and leave with bar tender at Rapscallion brewery with your info. I will try to accommodate hold preference.
As soon as the ground is ready the rebuild will begin.

Re: Lifetime membership opportunity at Hyland DGC
this is such a good idea and should be implemented at every course looking to do major improvements. Not only does it entice people to donate funds but also makes a course feel a little bit more like your own. I was a part of this at flat rock when the baskets were put in and it only makes the experience of going there that much more enjoyable.

Damm fine idea of course!
At San Fransisco's GGP, they have these awesome disc-sized engraved metal plates, set like a paver at the back of the box acknowledging sponsors. It's really nice and I plan on this on my courses moving forward!
