columbia view park is open

[PhilStomp]

We (Disc Domination) are pulling the course out on Saturday.
There are many reasons that we have to pull the course. Very open drug & alcohol use, litter, loud noise (cussing across the park at a buddy) and my favorite, pissing on a tree near hole one. That one was caught in a picture and I'm trying to get a hold of it and make that guy a poster child of how to get a Disc Golf course pulled.

We were going to buy the school a basket and had plans to assist with discs for a PE class but never got that far.

For the record, we worked for over a year to get that course put in. We had to go through the community Board, the community vote, the school Principal and Gresham P & R. Disc Domination Disc Golf Club held fund raiser tournaments. Donations were gathered from businesses and players. All the baskets were paid for by four people, all funds raised paid for Tee pads.

I am hopful that the loss of Columbia View is a wake up call and a lesson we can learn from.

I want to thank all the Guy's of Disc Domination and every one that helped us get the course put in. There were many golfers that played it clean at Columbia View. There were many who picked up litter and some who even called out on those who were too open with smoking and drinking. I thank you all, as well.

Sincerely,
Phillip Kurtz

A sign may have helped as far as the drinking thing goes, not going to lie I drank a beer there the one time I played it, and asked other people there if drinking was okay, and was told yes. Just my 2 cents.

P.s. Just read the rest of the thread, and didn't realize there is a sign there now. Oops!

Thanks for all your hard work on this Disc Domination and others - sorry to hear that a few ended up ruining it for everyone

Was going back and reading about this closure, and just noticed this quote. I just want to say, as a tax paying citizen, I for damn sure want police officers both mentally and physically prepared and on the hunt for those who want to eat my face, not those who are giggling and laughing.

Your statement basically infers that police officers should be lazy and fearful, which is the behavior of police officers that makes most people hate all law enforcement. Lazy cops that pursue disc golfers with open containers/pipes pissing in the trees pretty much rate on the piece of shit scale as high as disc golfers who have open containers/pipes, pissing in the trees, IMO. I guess at least they give each other something to do, and could be doing way worse...
