Thanks for the kind words, and congrats on your finish! Don't let Jr spend all his money in one place!
I'm working on the BTs already, so you can let people know... FYI!
Just sending out info on Chico's newest Disc golf course.It is at Sunset hills golf couse, north off 99.It is a 9 basket course with 18 tee pads. The cost is $5 for 9 $8 for 18. Kind of steep, but might be fun once in a while. The other thing is. There is a club house, with beer on tap and snacks
What up Mark, Rian here so I have misplaced your phone number, I have an old one but it does not work, I need to get you that $20, maybe drive up and play some mountain golf next week. my number again is 345-3204 See you soon
Hey Bro hope all is well and tell the litle Pest if he finishes in the top 5 at the Norcal Champs in Advanced...Play Open after that....and I'll bet he beats a lot of Pros in the 09 season....Take Care BT
Senior, sorry not to reply sooner - very busy and a little tired lately. I do like a civil discussion, especially when people on each side actually have an interest in possibly learning something they didn't know. Usually, that's all what I am about - learning new things. I have more of a desire to know what the truth/facts are rather than the belief that I already do know.
Congrats on the Chico decision. I have a friend who is an architect who retired up there. If I can find his address I'll ask him what he knows about the situation.
Disc golf will remain in upper Bidwell Park

CHICO — Disc golf will stay at its current location off Highway 32 after the Bidwell Park and Playground Commission voted 4-3 early today to keep the sport in upper park.
Hearing from more than 40 speakers in a meeting lasting more than five hours, the commission decided to keep the two 18-hole courses and make improvements at the 38-acre site.
Steve Lucas, David Wood and Michael Candela agreed with Jim Walker's motion to ask local volunteers to maintain and operate the courses. Walker said he hoped money from a state parks and recreation bond could be used to help make improvements at the courses, such as tee pads, baskets, signs and erosion control.
The commission concluded taking public comment both on the Bidwell Park Master Management Plan Environmental Impact Report and the matter of disc golf after midnight.
Before the decision came after midnight, impassioned speakers told the Bidwell Park and Playground Commission Monday night why it should or shouldn't allow disc golf to continue in upper Bidwell Park.
More than 50 people took turns addressing the commission, explaining their viewpoints and the community benefit of their perspective.
Disc golf players, many accompanied by their children, begged the commission to keep disc golf alive in its current location, a 40-acre site off Highway 32 east of Chico.
Supporters said the course offered healthy, low-cost recreation, and an appreciation for a beautiful site. They pointed out the city
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
would be losing an asset by removing the site.
Responding to damage done to the area, players suggested that large nets could protect the trees, in addition to realigning the course.
Of several choices, Option A with an 18-hole long course and 18-hole short course, was mentioned the most.
Supporters assured the commission that players would step up to fund the course and its maintenance. A nonprofit organization has been created through the North Valley Community Foundation for contributions, and the city has some Proposition 40 funding set aside for recreation.
Critics begged for protection of the same site, saying it was the wrong location for the popular game. The course had been constructed on the property without permission when it was owned by the Bureau of Land Management. The city purchased the land, possibly not knowing a primitive course was there.
Both the Yahi Chapter of the Sierra Club and Friends of Bidwell Park asked for the course to be removed, and the area to be restored to a natural environment. A petition bearing more than 600 names was turned in support of relocation.
Critics offered alternative sites, and pointed out that even the mitigation measures suggested for the course did not fully protect the area, from the blue oak trees to protected species of plants and vernal pools.
Critics pointed out the cost of improving and maintaining the course would tax the city beyond its current budget problems and staffing shortages, while other more current park needs suffered. Critics also pointed out there was no money available to fund the mitigation measures.
Asked by one commissioner about alternative locations for the course, speakers suggested a variety of locations — from Commanche Creek and school grounds, to the current Bidwell Park Golf Course and private development.

hey, i am going to try and make it. School starts on monday. I haven't seen you guys at any recent tournaments, where ya been? I hope you stayed safe with all those fires up there. They must have been very brutal.
ACE and the Orland Chamber o Commerce really wanna promote activities at BBL. We play directly into that! I'll be going over (probably next week) to talk to the Chamber about getting their support. As I mentioned B4, the initial goal is to get 9 holes in B4 the end of this month. We've got a couple checks in hand already, but could certainly use a few more...
