I thought this same thing the other day after Sandy rolled through. I have had a lot of time to think about stuff the past couple days with no electricity(just finally came on 2 seconds ago). My area is seriously f*#%ed right now. Every other house has a tree laying on it, the beaches and boardwalks near me are gone, there are no traffic lights,every road and bridge in and out of here is closed, it is no man's land.

That really sucks man. Hope everything works out for you. I really don't wish any harm on your park. Did your place make it?

Add the fact that nobody can possibly make enough money off a dg course to be interesting to politicians, and you begin to be amazed at the ignorance required to oppose the course on suspicion of corrupt politics. They must be picturing people playing disc golf on a ball golf course.
The most hilarious thing is they are referencing Disc Golf Monthly as a moneymaker for Comcast. Its a great program and all but I don't exactly think that the creator of DGM is rolling in the benjamins...


Oh yea just found the anonymous idiot on facebook, wish I could see who the one person is that likes it... https://www.facebook.com/pages/Anony...170?ref=stream

Now if you go to the Save timber creek park facebook page the guy is whining because he was not invited to a compromise meeting. Probably because they know the guy is a whacko!!!

...I feel your pain. After laying out 11 holes on 16 acres of wooded land perfect for golf, we get a phone call saying that they're putting an animal shelter on the ONLY park land that the PARD gave us to start working on.

Whomever wrote the first comment though kind of told it like it was.

Didn't the old hippy get the memo? Disc golf is a hippy sport. That crotchety old fool.
