I enjoyed the first round played with my dbls partner Pete Wilson ,even just getting over my cold couldn't stop the fun we all had on the hill. Thanks Jeremy & Jeff and others for a damn good start on the newest course in Spokane. Tee flags w/ distances on every bucket hole we played.
Playing this "proposed, preliminarily designed dg course, Crumkani was damn fun. It reminded my in parts to some of our other wooded course's like Down river, Corbin, FSP. I played only the lower course, and only one time, but I was not disappointed with dumb holes. The design and flow of this course felt smooth and unprecarious. Jeff and Jeremy showed to me and Peter piles of "existing" brush that were here and there all over the proposed land/ course. Most of these slash looking piles were already on the land before and work started, i could see that. Some were created by picking up or clearing the ground of the natural corridors. Some where from making corridors. What i saw on the ground compared to what it came from, ie, the forest is actually quit small.There is still a full forest of threes and shrubs there. Over in Idaho forest service workers refer to small pine trees as "weeds' due to there resilience and rapid growth . To describe what i saw as "Outlaw Bushwhacking" seem's a gross exaggeration.
If the issue isn't the course itself, but the fact you feel uninvited, sdga, Do you think that you could get over that disappointment and put behind yourself's the disdain you have towards Jeff Crum and Jeremy Thornton? This isnt the first time you have shown misgivings, to put it mildly, towards these club members.
As Cory said, all dg ers love throwing disc's into baskets and a new place to do that would be like a kid in a candy store. I feel like a kid taping on the storefront window trying to get the attention of a new little puppy, wanting baskets to throw to. This location is closer than Dnrvr and Hbdg to me, and imo the beginnings of a great course. Im anticipating the next time i get the opportunity to play it without snow. If i were a club member, i would put my support behind this PROPOSED COURSE
