Simpi is correct. Our club rushed and put in 9 holes, and our course was set up at High Bridge. The goal of the holes were to take up as much land as could be taken with the amount of funds that the club had in it's account. This is pre four mounds. I spent quite a bit of time designing possible layouts for a really tough 18 hole layout. It would also play as a very fun 27 holes course that had every single shot from 160ft and out. with multiple tee-pads. Corey Davis helped me out and it was a really good design. Would have been the coolest concept. Could have played a 23 hole course with par 4 par 4's or an 18 with 6 par 4's. I raised $1200 by holding 3 High Bridge Teasers and another $350 from 6 one round summer evening events. The others that were competing never materialized and a year later we secured the last 9 and they were installed in the exact same month that I went to California, again.

This scenario is almost the exact same as the others except I am not going to California and that there is a very real competitor for our land.

The park manager gives us things in private conversations and than tells others that they can have what he's given to us and vice versa. This is not a problem with our relationship with him is in my opinion much closer to being his personality. He seems like a really good guy, I think that he has so much on his plate that it is hard to keep what he says straight between the 3 main competing entity's. The bikers want us to move WAY up on the hill!

We will not have a course low enough to allow family's with kids and newer players to throw on. That hillside is no joke, and there are several generations that would have a very tough time playing it. I think that it is imperative that we move forward as soon as possible. They have a bobcat and they are working long hours developing up there. When I got there at 11:00 today they were working away. When I left at 5:00 they were still working. Hesitation makes a good design that much more difficult as our land where we could possibly be becomes constricted.

I want to thank Stimpi for being honest that he would not be impartial when chairing the meeting. I would like to make sure that it's noted that the board members who voted him to chair the meeting, even after he noted such. Also noted is that we are unscathed right now as a club and that we should begin to pick up steam. Good things are in place to happen at Camp Sakani. Our club needs to be proactive. There is a need for haste and we already have a very good relationship with parks.
