More Holes Approved At North Seatac Park!
 

In case you didn't feel like showing up or haven't heard the news yet...

Scroll down to Agenda Bill #3309

Any idea where they would be put in and when the work party or what not would be?

The new holes will be east of the existing course,and south of the baseball fields.

This means that we could also now use the main parking lot on the north side of the park, and play from there.

If you were to walk north on the paved path from the maintenance area parking lot, the new holes will be all off your right shoulder.

I'm sure any work parties will be announced on this site as they are needed, stay tuned.

Any news on the progress of the additional holes? I am happy to volunteer if any help is needed. I would like to donate some more benches too.

Thanks,

I heard through the grapevine that the new 9 holes are going to be postponed due to financing a new tractor/mower??? Anyone snope it?

Yeah King County budget has taken some big hits.Because of that, the funding that was thought to be readily available, is no longer. At least for the first quarter. I am doing everything I can to procure funds for second,third,or even fourth quarter.
So.... we are currently are on the look out for tractors,pull behind mow decks,brush hogs, anything to take out large,thick amounts of blackberry and scotch broom.....
Anyone from the disc golf community or beyond know of any such equipt that someone doesn't mind lending or putting some hours on? hit me up:

we could get out there with hand held power tools and non powered hand tools,and that very well may happen soon enough, since we have the green light to move forward and can start clearing anytime.
Keep in mind that this does not give permission to anyone to just go in and start hacking... communicate everything with me first...

good news
 

Just got a call from Chuck Lyter... He has a friend who is going to let us borrow a field & brush mower....Schooooooweeeeeeeettttt.
So after the Deaf Disc Golf Championships we are gonna get to clearing some fairways...
any other blackberry removal devices are welcome...
Concrete dates to follow shortly...

That's great news Keith. Thank you for sharing the information. I'm offering to donate a sweet Craftsman chainsaw and a wheel barrel if needed.
