As most of you know Courtney and I are moving to GA so the Oklahoma State Coordinator position is open for 2008. I really feel like we have built a great working relationship with the PDGA and had a good run the last four years. We landed the Am Worlds and have been running one of the most successful A-Tiers in the country. I hope that the next person that is elected will keep the ball rolling.
You have about a month left if you want to get your name and bio in for a state coordinator spot.

This would allow me to see the True Growth Program thru to install of the courses as well as continue the positive past of Coordinators gone by.
Professionally I am set up to do the job, How many other candidates drive the State for a living and has a boss that LOVES the sport? My candidate entry will outline my initiatives.

I have never been the Oklahoma State Coordinator - just for clarification.
I think Joe Rotan would be a great OSC. I think his job and the fact that he is active in so many communities of disc golf across the state makes for a perfect fit. Also, I think he is a good fit because he is willing to work with the PDGA and has worked with the PDGA.
I think there are several people in the state of Oklahoma that would be good candidates and would do a great job as the OSC. Some of them have been mentioned here and some have not but having said that I still believe that Joe R. is the best candidate.
OSC's main responsibilities: (in my opinion)
scheduling
liason with the PDGA
choosing a USDGC representative from Oklahoma
scheduling - Joe is very easy to get in touch with via phone and e-mail so that makes it easy for him to handle scheduling requests.
liason with the PDGA - has proven himself in the past with his work on Am Worlds and running other sanctioned events
USDGC rep - ??? do not know how he would handle this - currently it is the highest placing person at the State Championships that has not already qualified.
Kevin has done a great job as the OSC - thank you Kevin.

Geographically Owasso would be great, how ever, land is being bought up at a premium due to the growth of the city. Any thing that looks good right now will be a housing addition within a year or two.

twoputtok
Apr 12 2007, 06:18 PM
and they are now building an addition north of it and east of it. There is no parking and with the walking trails and the amount of pedestrian traffic flowing right through the creek area, I just don't see how you could possibly think you could get a course in there that wouldn't be a pitch-n-putt.
The parking lot at the west end holds 9-10 cars and thats stretching it, the lot to the east on the other side of the park holds more but again with playground equipment, ponds and housing, you can't put holes there either and that would make it a long walk from that parking lot to any where you had the course.
I think you need to go by in the evenings or afternoons when its in use and look again.
I'm not against a course there, its only 1.5 miles from my house but Mohawk is only 8 minutes. ;)

I would do some practice throws out there in between softball games.

Anybody sittin on 25 acres of private land?
TDSA could put together one heck of a private course with all the golfers there.
Bring your golf carts and ice chests.A clubhouse and pro shop.
THAT would be amazing.

You definately have the nuggets to get er dun.

Apr 13 2007, 09:45 AM
Chandler ended up with some land issues for the other course. How ever the original course will be changing with the addition of new parking lots and bathrooms being planned in the next year. Chandler could lose some of its pitch-nputt holes to some real golf holes going into the east side of where the course is now.
A private course in Tulsa would be difficult, unless the person that had it had unlimited supply of money to upkeep it. With 15 course in the area and of those, Dovillio, McClure, Hunter Haikey, Mohawk Black and Mohawk white, why would you pay to play.
Mohawk is as close to a private course as you can get, once you get to hole three, no one sees you again until you come off hole 18.
It has been a dream of mine to have my own course and if we can ever find the land we want it may happen. I told my wife all I need is about 20 acres of the land to be wooded, the rest is yours. ;) :D

How bout in a city that is NOT a suburb of Tulsa?
Suggestions?
There are many places on the map. Chickasha, Weatherford, Clinton, McAlester, Poteau, Woodward, Kingfisher, Guthrie....do I need to continue??
Tulsa and the suburbs thereof have a saturation of courses, while a drought exists outside the Tulsa area. Remember, many of the towns mentioned have small colleges and universities that could easily form another thriving club in Oklahoma.
If we truly want to promote the sport and have greater public awareness, we need to expand the sport to areas that it doesn't exist now. I know you guys don't remember, probably because you didn't know what it was at the time, but in 1982 we only had about 8 or 9 courses to play in the entire state of Oklahoma period. Just a couple of years before that we had 2 or 3.
So, awareness was created by putting in courses where there were none, and the rest is history. Please don't get me wrong, I am not against putting in a course any place you guys have mentioned, but the goal here is to spread and increase the base in to new places and see new faces.

Bixby would be a great place for a course, especially where the river parks development is doing work on the river next to Memorial.
FYI: Riverside could be in trouble due to the plans to modify the river trail...the city wants to install a separate bike path in addition to the walking path. The new trail stretches down Riverside looping around to Southwest Blvd. bridge and on towards the OctoberFest area and keeps going South...hopefully we can keep the course there.
Also, IMO Chandler should not be modified...it's a Headrick original and should stay the same.

Tom, I agree completely. That is and continues to be the goal of the "True Growth Program". Baskets will go in the ground some where, All of the baskets in the program are in the posession of the club but it is a slow process the club is still ironing out the details.

Its not a choice to modify, it will be required to meet new park improvements. Please don't take this as fact, since a lot of politics is involved in anything to do with the county. I was told that they were planing on doing something with the selter by hole one and there will no longer be parking there for disc golf. They also said they were going to put in a huge parking lot on the north side of the Easter hill and build more bathrooms.
With this info, you can say good bye to holes 1 and 12 guranteed. Wich in essence would cut of 13-18 just because of their location and these holes weren't Ed designed. ;)

<font color="blue"> Actually it is Headrick / Dorn / Lowry design for the '85 worlds. Ed's major contribution was to Riverside and McClure, (and both of those designs have been changed) he only spent about 30 minutes at Chandler, Dorn and Lowry actually made the decisions where to move stuff. Haikey was done by Dorn and Neil. So if moving holes at Chandler makes things better please do so.</font>

I agree with MC chandler should stay a pitch and putt. It is a good challenge for beginners and a great place to play casual rounds.

On 4-11-2007 I sent an e-mail and hope to follow-up next week with Siloam Springs parks department about taking advantage of our True Growth Program. It would be a good fit - border town, presently no disc golf for the public and a college town. Around 13,000 in population.
Chandler should stay a beginner's course even after the park improvements. Those improvements will only make the futures "ChandlerStock's" that much more enjoyable.
If anyone can get a conversation with the appropriate powers to be with a city that does not currently have a disc golf course - please do it. Have them contact any of the TDSA administrators we will do what we can to make it happen. We are ready to start handling requests. Sure, it is not an overnight process but we are ready to get it started.

With the amount of effort Jenks is putting into the river walk has no one approached them about disc golf? Yes I know that it would most likely be just another pitch and putt course but we have to get them hooked on the game BEFORE we blackhawk them!
True growth is about growing the sport and player base as much as it is about placing bad to the bone courses for the pros and advanced players to hang out on.
Sorry guys but if I had played blackhawk in 1979 as a first course instead of Riverside I would never have played a second time!

Maybe the fact we don't have a choice if it gets changed, it doesn't matter what our personal feelings ae.

Siloam Springs would be the closest to Tulsa allowed IMO. I love the TTown but Lowry is thinking like I wrote the program to be. Somewhere close to OKC... perhaps. Far away from golf is a good idea. EXPOSURE and repeat contact mixed with information and tools can only equal success! :D

That is ok, this is why club officiers make decisions /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif and sometimes we do not or have a choice :cool:but that is OK :cool:
Choices are made from w/in the structure of the club, and that is why we vote them into office /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif.

There are several local boys from Noble America, south of Norman that have been pushing the city for a course recently. There are two parks that are available but I don't think they have the resources and/or motovation to git-r-done. Perhaps the True Growth Program is what they need to get the ball rolling.

But this isn't a club decision, this is a decision by the county to make park improvements that will directly effect the course.
I was just trying to get across to Conners that we don't get to voice our desires to have the course remain the same. These changes are part of an overall master plan for the park.
The only holes that should be effected, could be moved to a much better area.
Besides, it all comes down to funding and county politics and that could take longer than Mitchell has played Am. :D

It seems simple enough to me TwoPutt.
The park is making a change, we don't have a choice.

Back to True Growth - (although Treat's last post was very entertaining). The hardest part is going to be getting cities to buy into the program and do what we are asking them to do to be eligible. Sure we know it is a great deal for the cities but getting them to believe that is the tough part. If you live in a city that does not have disc golf then contact your Park Department and see if they are interested. If they are, then let us know and we will take it from there.

I agree that the baskets should be installed as far away from Tulsa as possible. Any new courses around here would have to be funded by the city, county or from the private sector. We have a ton of courses and still have new baskets to install were we see fit. Like Jose said, it's all about bangin the drum with your local officials to let them know that disc golf is wanted in your town.

If the county decides to make alterations to Chandler :mad::(, I say we should protest en mass. I recommend that large numbers of people do not bathe and eat lots of beans, then go to the county offices and stage a "STINK IN" :eek: :eek: :eek:. If said people hang around the county offices and give off enough foul air long enough, the county will most gladly capitulate to our wishes. :confused: :eek: :DREST YOU EYES IN SHADES OF GREEN :D/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D
