Hey there Hot'lanta brethren. Just wanted to post this here as well. Some of you may have already known about it.

Even though I now live six hours from Macon in the disc golf heaven of North Carolina, this is exciting. A Tom Monroe designed course going in at Lake Tobesofkee's Claystone Park. E-mail the county commissioners and tell them how much we appreciate their forward thinking.

Looks like it will be pretty sweet. Should be open for play this fall. Watch for a Grand Opening event.

Good deal Tom. Looking forward to it. :cool:

Claystone is playable and listed in the course directory now. :cool:

Mawnin' ATL. Played the Macon course Saturday morning. Really enjoyed it. Thumbnail characterization - Front nine, short but well thought out and diverse; Back nine, longer with water in play, even more diversity and more challenge, from memory a 450, 360, 320, another 300 or so that was marked 256(?). With time and hopefully a growing disc community in Macon there is a ton of potential for new tee pad locations making the front nine more challenging. Even without lengthening though it is a fun course, one I would be happy to have in my county. Make the drive, talk it up with locals who don't have a clue what you're doing, camp, tell the park staff what a cool thing it is, etc......

...but drive carefully...

It was... a time when laughing was easy. And laugh they did, until they crossed the ... Macon County Line.

ATTENTION ALL LADY DISC GOLFERS

OK, LISTEN UP LADIES. I am trying to help here. I am beginning to wonder if the ladies of disc golf really want to promote this sport or just gripe about the low numbers of women players. I have issued a challenge on other threads to help those who want to help themselves. RESULTS, the board went quiet. My wife and I are trying to build a disc golf resort near tulsa, oklahoma. We are not disc golfers but we love the sport and the disc golf community as a whole. We are absolutely putting our money where our mouth is. We have had the honor of having our course played by some very good women players, including Courtney Peavey and Valerie Jenkins. As newcomers to the sport, I do my research by surfing other clubs discussion boards and try to ascertain needs of the sport where we might be able to fill a niche. To that end, we are willing to host an all women's tournament with some substantial added money (depending on the number of entries). All I hear from women is their concern about the lack of competition or female competitors. It is obvious to me that we need to raise the bar for women in this sport. If there is genuine concern for this sport by enough ladies, then we are here to help you, ladies, raise the bar. If it is just a venue for negative comments then, count us out. Any ladies want to do something positive and good for ladies disc golf. The ball is now in your court. Jim Taylor, owner, The Lodge in Pawhuska, Ok. 918-724-3121.
