Hi Everyone!!
Great news, we installed the A and B sleeves for the first 9 holes at the Big Sioux Rec Area 3 days ago. Within a week we should be playing the first 9 holes. We will also be installng a hanging basket on hole #4.
We are still working on the 2nd nine holes. THis 9 is all laid out, and we have actually installed 5-6 sleeves. We will have a chainsaw crew out there early this week cutting down trees we have marked, then we willl just need to move brush/wood, and "mow" the fairways. Not much mowing in the 2nd 9 because it is mostly in the woods or on the old mini disc golf course (3 holes). It's not set in stone yet, but there is a good chance we will complete the 2nd 9 in December. We have to remove the old baskets, pound the concrete of them, and probably weld on a tab for the sleeves. We also need to hope the relatively mild weather continues so we can concrete in the remaining sleeves.
We have recieved rave reviews on the course from the few people that have walked it. It will be a drastically different style of disc golf from what we have at Tuthill Park. More precision shots throgh trees, both long and short holes, and holes that force you to use a specific style of shot. The first tournament there will likey be our 2009 Ice Bowl.
Hope you all get a chance to throw this course in '09!!
