Parks and Rec members along with scout leader Pat and a representative from the Madison Area Disk Club walked (or more like slogged through) the park last night discussing where the "holes" would be and setting up a course.
But let's get into the particulars that will be presented to the City Council soon.
This course will cost Columbus basically nothing. Joey has plans to find donators for all the holes. The final cost for a nine hole course is estimated at about $5000. However this will be a six hole course with permanent "holes" only at 6 locations. There will be three movable holes that can be used for tournaments.
** for more information of what Disk Golf actually is go to this link.
Disk golf is not just for kids anymore - there is a professional tour and websites reviewing courses. In Madison, they are now charging for playing 18 hole rounds and almost every town in Wisconsin has a disk golf course. I have heard that the Beaver dam course is very nice.
There are 15 Disk Golf Courses within 25 miles of Columbus and more then 50 within 50 miles. Disk Golf will actually bring people to Columbus to play! Although because it is not an eighteen hole course no BIG tournaments will play here but many smaller ones can.

I will keep you updated on how things are going. Joey will make a presentation to the Council on whether he gets the green light to begin looking for donations either by Sponsoring a hole, sponsoring the course or just donation to the project (which I will do).
One question that will be asked is "What about special events". Disk Golf will ALWAYS take a back seat to anything going on in the park. Perhaps a CLOSED sign will go over the DISK GOLF sign or something.

I think this is a very very good thing.
