AJ must be the course architect and designer
The uproar a few whackos made in Burlington VT resulted in cancellation of a disc golf course plan. Debate recapped in video below.

I guess some people just think it should all be wilderness.
"Wackos" indeed. Where did that female wacko hear that they were going to put 500 people on an 18-hole course at one time? 27 people on each card is pushing it. Clear example of lies/communication.
Bill Engvall said it best. "I just hate stupid people. They should have to wear a sign."
EDIT: I remember hearing that TG's disc golf complex in MN got shot down because locals didn't want dust from the increased traffic on the road. We're talking about dust, people, not rabbit grizzly bears!
I play with the course designer, Ross Brandt, every once in a while up here in the cities. He's wanted us to come down and play the course soon. From what I've heard from him is that what people are bringing up is just a bunch of non-issues.
Is that the same Ross who owned that dumb broad with this awesome comment:
"The trees that were removed at Bancroft and the trees shown on your news segment were Buckthorn trees, which under the provisions of the Shoreline Preservation Act are allowable to cut because they are invasive species that take over and replace native species. According to your film, Deb Blowers' shoreline, the women with the complaint, is in fact in violation of the Shoreline Preservation Act herself because there is a 25 foot buffer zone and hers is less than 5 feet...apparently, do as I say, not as I do is her motto. She destroyed the shoreline in my opinion and her shoreline should be reclaimed as well. Maybe an official complaint should be filed against her...it is the city code."

Was this in the news article?
Oak Island Disc Golf Course is nearing completion in Albert Lea, MN. It is currently playable. I posted these clips in the "courses in development" section, curious to your thoughts.
This is a pretty common phase for a new course to go through right? Course construction angers a neighbor and they complain about destroying natural habitat. Does it make the evening news?

Still a Controversy
Dust is actually a legitimate concern.
My guess is that it's been a slow week at the station, and they've got to find something to report about.
Same thing happened in Buffalo, NY - they went through the right channels, got their plan approved (actually were encouraged to use the land by the parks/rec. dept.) and after 1000's of hours of hard work some clown that was a Environmental studies major (not even a graduate) started crying about how it ruined the land that oh so many Hikers loved due to the "noise" it made and how it would cause erosion on the paths. Mind you Hikers and HORSE RIDERS are allowed to use the same paths with NO reciprocal argument from DG'ers. The course was going to be Chestnut Ridges "sister" course called Eternal Flame...it looked like a SICK course, and now the NRDG has to figure out a new place to put a course.
