Volunteer Now!
The
city of Chico has agreed to match volunteer work with
funds for disc golf improvements. They will pay
for $23 of materials for each hour of volunteer
time you donate.
So 4 hours of work equals a $100 donation
supporting disc golf. Now is the time to
volunteer.
We're installing 24 disc golf targets
in local Chico parks this month (Mach V baskets). In
August we expect to be building components for the
highway 32 course (off-site), and in September we'll
start construction of that project.
The first
volunteer opportunity will be between July
20th-22nd from 6-8PM on each
day.
We'll be installing target bases in parks. If you'd like
to help at any point in the coming months send us an
email so we can let you know about volunteer
opportunities (info@chico-outsiders.com).

Happenings
SSS10: The
Summer Solstice Slam 2010 was a brutal
success. Playing 4 disc golf courses, over
2 days, in the summer heat was a challenge.
But we made it more tolerable by
starting Saturday at the Anderson Valley Brewing
Company, whose tap room is surrounded by a disc golf
course. Saturday afternoon we played
a Lake Mendocino course that was just a few
hundred feet from our campground.
Sunday included the venerable Low Gap Park in
Ukiah, and Steady Ed's stomping ground, the Highland
Springs Reservoir disc golf course.
Todd won the event with regular 40' dead-eye
putts and an overall score in the area of
+6. Rich took the DFL trophy, and was the only
person to shoot +2 at hole 15 of the Highland Springs
course (inside joke).
CARD Disc Golf
Class: In June CARD had its
first disc golf class. The class was for kids
9-14, but a couple of younger kids snuck
in. Students learned a variety of throwing
styles, as well as the rules of disc
golf.
Each day play started at Sherwood
Forest. As the day progressed, and the sun became more
persistant, we moved to shaded areas of Hooker
Oak and 5-Mile recreation areas to play
on portable targets.
The instructor
proceeds are being donated to Project 32 as
a hole sponsorship under the name Sherwood Forest
Lionhearts. |
