You don't wake up hibernating bear

I turned up some interest last weekend about a course in Enfield with some officals. Some ideas are proposed for around Town Farms Rd. I will be putting together a package to present soon. Any supporters?

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

yeah nice!

Supporterrrrrrrrrrr for surrrrrrrrrrre

Absolutely! Great work!!!!

Crane Hill has a lot of dedicated players - this may be the closest course to the proposed location (probably equidistant to HCC, and throw Tolland in the mix, pretty close also). I would find it hard to believe with Jeff and Pete Pure Flight and the added efforts of all the crane locals/tolland locals/HCC that you wouldn't have a lot of support and excitement for another course in the area. Pioneer Valley Disc Golf growing and blowing up! Let's get this in the ground!

That's what I figured. I am looking at the packages from Innova, DGA, etc. It looks like the land is available to develop. Gaining support from the community will help even further.

This sounds great. Keep us posted on the progess of this project and any workdays that get scheduled.

I will be looking to put together a Solid interest group to as support to show intent or interest in a course. I am going to attempt to meet Mayor Kaupin today.

Hi david, I will absolutely love to be in your interest group. I play mostly at wickham and tolland, and live in ellington so enfield is real close for me. I am also running a tournament in tolland this summer july 8. Check it out. Kepp up the good work man and look foward to getting to meet you.

Was planning on playing the tournament on The 8th. Thanks for your help.

I have been asked to meet with the assistant town manager about the course. I also must develop a solid proposal . Any help would be great. Also time to develop the group. Amy thoughts?. Maybe we could set up a meeting for 2 to 3 weeks from this week.

nice..there a few vets down that way that could I am sure

good work!!

Figure somewhere about $500.00 to $550.00 a hole that covers chainstar baskets in the ground with locking collars and cement, tee pad work - wood and flypads and some signage.
So 9 holes in the $4500 to $5000 range or 18 holes in the $9k to 10k range. Buy as much as you can in one shot to keep shipping cost down.
Best to try to get as much as you can up front, because bleeding them for additional funding after the fact is like pulling teeth with a nail file.
Ultimately $12k will get you top notch equipment, signage, benches, kiosk, etc.

This can all be done for cheaper, but you will get just that, a cheap course, that isn't as much fun to play.
It's better to do it right the first time, then you don't have to keep going back to the well.
It is still dirt cheap as far as recreation goes. There will still be an ongoing committment of time into the course aside from the money in. Be prepared. Being the course rep is a task that keeps on going.

I walked to proposed site, Would love some feedback from those interested to walk the site with me and share some ideas.


- Dave Cook

No real updates. Didn't get a big response locally as far as interest. Still talking to the town officals.

David - Where is your site ?

Give me a PM and I'll come walk your site with you.

Les what would be a good time?

Looking to push the Enfield Disc Golf group or club thing again. I spoke with the 1st selectman about the course in Enfield. He wants a group, club or Committee formed to show interest.

I was thinking of a meeting at the Library ?

Any Thoughts?

Any Takers?

-Dave Cook

sorry david, i just saw this, but would gladly help if you need a group or commitee. Just let me know when and where you would like to meet.

Clayton I emailed you, not sure if you got it?

Sorry david, which email did you send it to? I have a couple of accounts and cant seem to find it. You can always Pm me, i tend to check that more than my e-mail. Sorry about the late response. Still down for whatever.

I linked to your profile on NEFA that had email.
We should try to meet.



Dave

Sorry David, I haven't checked his thread in awhile. I can help. Give me a call at 860-967-8942.
I am free most Mon/Wed/Fri after work and also have some weekend days free. Summer is hectic.
The fall will be better. Give a ring and maybe you me and Claydog can go for a walk.

Thanks Les, will call soon
-Dave

Just when I thought the idea was dead, they approached me this time. Could at least be a 9 hole. or a small 18. more to come.

-Dave Cook

According to what I am reading an new course has been approves for East Windsor!
