Upcoming meeting for discussion and proposal

[CoachQ]

I am just so stoked that I got my foot in the door. I have an upcoming meeting to discuss the possibility of installing a new course in my area. Any tips for the meeting? Keep your fingers crossed for me. This would allow me to have a "home course" and save me the 45-60 minute drive each way to the courses I currently play.

UPDATE:

I have had 3 meetings with the parks and rec. This past Wednesday, we presented it in front of the parks and rec advisory board. They jumped on the bandwagon immediately. I woke up this morning to find that my city newspaper featured a FRONT PAGE story on the course proposal. We will be doing a neighborhood meeting/information clinic on April 2nd and barring any extreme negativity, it looks like the course will go in the ground over the summer or early fall. SO STOKED!

Advice: make sure you get some golfers with kids out to this meeting with the neighbors. They'll have a harder time opposing it once they see that kids are involved with the sport.

thanks Peter. That is great advice and it is what I am working for. The article that was written also points out that I teach P.E. at a local school so I have the opportunity to spread the sport to the entire town from the ground up.

Congrats man, that is such sweet news. Make sure to keep us updated. do you have any maps of the land you are working with or any info on the terrain?

Awesome. I'm doing a proposal tomorrow evening for a private boarding school. I've been working on this for about one year now. Way to go brother!

talk about the kids, everyone loves the kids :)
Also it is a free activity in this economy

I'm sure you know this already, but make sure you get a qualified individual to do the course design. The excitement of having a home course near by can quickly be offset if the course sucks...

Believe me, I've been in that boat.

Hey Coach, I stayed in Casa Grande for the Memorial and read the article in the paper. Good luck. It sounds like it's going to happen.
