just an fyi...
Snapper had "contract in hand" for a course at Chollas a few years ago and it got yanked by the city in the 11th hour. I'm not sure if he has the time to talk about it and I know he was VERY, VERY hurt by the city jerking him on it and maybe doesn't even want to talk about it. It was a great design though. All this to say... be careful, they screwed us once there,

Peace

Comment by Discette on April 23, 2009 at 12:58pm: Since you are in San Diego, you should contact Allen Risley. He is on this site as RIZBEE. He was instrumental in getting the course in San Marcos designed and installed and is working on getting approval for a course at Cal State University San Marcos.

Also, check in with the San Diego Aces. They are a very active local club. They have a website and forum where you can get lots of local support from some very enthusiastic disc golfers.

Comment by Nascar Dave on April 23, 2009 at 11:31am: Better yet, contact them directly and ask them to mail you a couple full color brochures. They speak volumes and promote the sport in a very professional manner.
