Hi all, this week I'm applying for a grant from Washington County Visitors Association and a few opinion letters from some folks would be great. A few weeks ago I recieved a email from Washington County Visitors Association sayng that they would be giving out some grant money for projects that would increase tourism. What the visitors association is looking for is reasurance that there be an increase in the number of visitors from outside the area (over 50 Miles) visiting Washington County if they give me a grant to help build the third course. What I've heard from several people is that it will be a big draw to have three 18 hole courses at one place. I'm guessing that it could draw maybe on the average of 4 out of town visitors a day. This grant would be a big help to get the cement pads in, so if a few of you could take some time to drop me a line we can get this done. My email address is bob@horningshideout.com.
Thanks!!:cheers:

Bob, you might consider posting on the Disc Golf Course Review (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/forums/) forums as well. The whole purpose of that site is finding courses to play, and some people take their disc golf traveling pretty seriously.
Of course, you can probably get plenty of Seattle and Southern Oregon people just from this site... they're more than 50 miles out.

Thanks Adam, just did that. The grant would be a big help, because not only would cement pads go in, but also proffesional signage too.

I just sent my message to you, Bob. It's mostly a list -- with a couple paragraphs of explanation -- of every town in the Northwest that I've visited ONLY because of the presence of a disc golf course (Newberg, Albany, Corvallis, Longview, etc.).
