At Gahagan Park in Summerville SC, there's a clearing from overhead power lines adjacent to a really nice fenced in kids playground.

With a tee right next to the back of a building with rest rooms that would block most errant shots from going over the fence (into playground), this seems like THE perfect spot for a "Kids Priority Disc Golf Hole"! The playground is mostly for kids 12 and under and it would be cool to have a DG hole for them to play.
Of course, if no kids are using it, then it can be a practice basket for anyone.
Anyone ever hear of Kids Priority Disc Golf Hole before? I'd like to see a Practice Basket set aside so Kids 12 and under get FIRST Priority! Then, Teens from 13 to 17 have SECOND Priority. 18+ get Tertiary (3RD) Priority. As you can imagine, that "rule" might go over pretty well with the kids! :)
I asked the 10 year old son of a local disc golfer (who throws really well) if he liked the idea of this and he said that would be Awesome. What do YOU think?

Thanks for your feedback!
