Greater Oconee Disc Golf

We have meet w/ the Seneca mapping department this past weekend.  With the help of Lisa Simmering and her boss we have found and marked important property lines on the east side of the property.  We have not bothered w/ the west side because the areas we need to avoid should be clearly marked from a Habitat for Humanity project that is planned. We are going to be talking w/ the Seneca street dept next about having them bulldoze some clearings to the west of holes 1-4 of the old course for the start and finish of the new course and removal of some dead trees on the old course and the flooding problem on 15.

The baskets for the new 18 at Shaver Recreation Complex in Seneca have been paid for.  I heard from Innova on Monday, December 28th that the check has arrived and the baskets are now paid for in full.Innova is waiting on the GODG club’s go ahead before shipping the baskets.  The design team is in place with Luke Reiser taken the lead on the new design.  Other members of the design team include Aaron Evans, Adam Wright, Sarah Stanhope and Gary Savercool.Design work in earnest begins after the new year.  Several members of the club and the design team have walked the property and have ideas to share.  Innova has even indicated that they might send a team to Seneca to walk the property and give some insight.The goal is to get something ready by March so baskets have somewhere to go.  Understand that a ‘final’ design could be a while away.

GODG met on Monday night over Pizza to discuss the new Singles Series in Oconee County and the design for the new 18 at Shaver Recreation Complex. There is a post about the single series else where on this site. Mike Weirda is the organizer and three club members will be handling the different course events.

A group has been put together to work on the new course design. It includes Luke Reiser, Aaron Evans, Adam Wright, Sarah Stanhope and Aaron Cunningham. The group is working with the mapping department at the City of Seneca to flag areas. The Seneca Street Department will help with some bulldozing different areas.

More details to come.

Thanks to Aaron Evans for doing a great job.

Now that funding for 18 baskets has been secured for the new course at Shaver Recreation Complex in Seneca, we’re working on a design. If you’re interested in being part of the new course, we’ll have a few 17X11″ color maps available and two really big B&W maps on Saturday during the Golden Corner Classic.

Following the tournament Saturday, if people are interested and there’s enough light, we’ll take a walking tour of some of the land that is available for the new course. We’re looking to design the best possible course on the available land. As many ideas to potential hole locations and layout will be taken into consideration.

We also have 12 additional sleeves coming with the baskets for multiple pin placements. The overall vision for the course will include multiple pin locations on most holes and duel tee pads on all holes and possibly three tees per hole.

The property includes a creek, a marsh, a couple of bridges for crossing the creek and marsh. There’s some old-growth oaks and small scrub pines. Some areas have elevation changes of 60′ or more while other parts of the land is relatively flat. We look forward to your input and help.
