Eight years ago, In the Spirit Of The Game I co-designed an 18 hole disc golf course and then in the Spirit Of The Game, I recruited volunteers and together we spent over 100 hours per hole to hand clear and groom the fine course. Two years later and six months after we finished the final grooming, the property owner sold and the disc golf course was closed. Then in The Spirit Of The Game I again became involved with furthering the sport when I was contacted to design an 18 hole disc golf course at the local State Park. Four years later the project was stalled because of funding, so along with the Friends Group for the Park, I wrote a grant and received the commitment for $10,000.00. Within 30 days of getting the funds, the Park decided that they didn't have room for an 18 hole course and the funds went back to the donating agencies. The project has been moth balled since 2011. Not discouraged and in The Spirit Of The Game, I contacted the city officials where a course had been built in 1989 with no funds and by one individual that definitely knows and continues to promote The Spirit Of The Game. The course mentioned was on city property, was built with the cities permission but never was looked at with any seriousness. In The Spirit Of The Game, I began a campaign to redesign the course and to replace the 18 targets (6" aluminum poles) with real baskets. Twelve months later, the city and all of it's officials celebrated the Grand Opening of the redesigned course, now 20 holes and now all with real baskets as targets. Since the Grand Opening on September 23rd the course has had over 300 groups enjoying the open fairways and tight wooded holes. In The Spirit Of The Game, over $200.00 has been left in the donation post just since the Grand Opening. Next summer we will all be working on installing the 20 tee pads. I live about 60 miles from this course and have four other courses within 25 miles of my home so I don't get to play this wonderful course as often as I like, but In The Spirit Of The Game, I couldn't be happier knowing that one more small town in Michigan now has the completed course allowing all to come and experience just what The Spirit Of The Game is all about.
