Meet any new friends at the park last night? I was in Greensburg. I'll meet you there tomorrow.

They are not my friends, but we did meet people in the woods. And when I say people I mean dudes. We didn't see anything other than walking, but I can only imagine what two guys not walking any dogs or planning a disc golf course would be doing together out there.

Man, after mapping out some of those preliminary holes it looks like I'm going to really have to improve my controlled low ceiling drive. I can see some easy 6's chopping out of those woods. And on another note, it was interesting that everyone at the park around sunset knew Austin by his first name :)

Try leaving your shirt on next time. The thong straps hanging out your Deputy Dangle britches might be a bit much too.

Back on topic, I'm looking forward to hearing what you guys think of what we have designed so far.

Good stuff! Made some minor changes. Biggest issue will be getting a bridge across the ravine. Better yet two. Course wont flow with out it.

A couple of additional nice aspects will be the fact it's close to the highway, camping, and close to food & lodging. Some of those places would be good sponsor prospects.

Where would the second bridge go?

100 yds South of middle give or take. I don't recommend we propose this bridge. Just build a simple crossing to use when you hyzer out and don't get across when coming back on hole (13?). It'd just speed things up.

The meeting with Mr. Ash went great at Thomas today. He ok'd #1 and he's going to get us a good ariel map of the park. He said that he wasn't sure about the foot bridge, since that is not under his control. He said that he would get back to us on that, but that he'd be surprised if it was ok'd.

I've been calling around today for concrete price quotes. Man, it's expensive nowadays.
