Petition for new Wausau course

Darren Belling is circulating a petition all area players should sign if they want to urge the Parks Dept. to put in a new course in Wausau. Make your voice heard and sign it, 'cause the more names we have, the more legitimate chance we have of getting some cred.

One thing that guaranteed will hurt our chances is if people keep trashing our courses. I picked up about 200 cigarette butts (yeah, they ARE litter) at leagues last week along with lots of wrappers and plastic crap. If Memorial becomes a dumping ground, the Parks people will laugh at us when we ask for another course. "You don't even take care of the one course we have ...." It's our game, our turf and we are the ones who gotta get in the grill of the people that are garbaging up our courses. Ultimately we are responsible for whether or not a course stays in the ground or gets pulled 'cause of bad behavior. If you don't think courses get pulled, just look online. I read about it nearly every week around the courtry. We can do better and yes, we DO need another Wausau course!

yes we do

Another note...I dont think they can make the argument about litter when they don't give us garbage cans at the tee pads any more...where did they go?

[Hoovie]

Right on the mark, Velcro. I'll ask 'em the next time we meet why the 3 or so cans disappeared. It certainly hasn't helped the litter situation any. The 3 at the BEP are doing the job and it takes very little time to routinely empty them.

Last summer one lackey doing basic park maintenance at the course in Howard, WI, told me my armful of garbage picked up during my round had to go in the dumpster (about 1/4 mile from the dg course). "Numerous studies" showed that more waste cans produced more litter, so said his bosses. Huh? Makes zero sense to me.

Schofield rumored course?

The Wausau course is a joke, we need something new here.
I'm living in Kronenwetter and there is a perfect spot for a course near the school here. Huge, wooded vacant lot (across the street from the Harley Davidson).

I've been ignored by the Kronenwetter administrator once, but if we all send in letters we could have something on our hands.

Is that the property by the elementary school and Lamer's? I've walked it with ad DG course in mind ... 9 holes could fit on it, I believe.

I'm talking about the land near the soccer fields, by Evergreen Elementary school. Tons of space, but I have no idea who owns the place.
Sad to see a good chunk of partially wooded land get wasted on wildlife ;)
