what like this one?
"The Frisbee golf course in Irving is considered to be the best," Quisenberry said. "Ours was second, only because it's a 9-hole.

February 4th @ 6:30 p.m.
Issue:
Corinth residents are less than pleased at the arrival of Disc Golf.
(nature folks and cyclists.)
To date, their negativity has been enough to sway 'Board Members'.
(community volunteers)
Objective:
- Project a positive image for Disc Golf to 'Council Members'.
(final decision makers)
Timeline:
- Jan. 12th. - Trails Committee (nature folks) – Expressed Objections
- Jan. 19th. - Parks Board (nature folks) – Motioned against Disc Golf.
- Feb. 4th. – Council Meeting (Final Decision)
Solution:
Just 'Show up' and wear a 'Green Shirt'. If you are willing to speak, please let us know.
- Location: Corinth City Hall
- Time: Thursday, February 4th @ 6:30 p.m.
Let's join together for this great cause. (Disc Golf)
Thank you,

Is there any word on the outcome of this course?

Nice...they decided to not decide right now. I guess that leaves a little hope for the course's existence.
3800 a year for lawn mowing and trash removal? sign me up
Cities like Corinth ought to be begging for the type of volunteer labor that disc golfers offer to install a course. The benefits of having a course are far more numerous than the lack of one.
There are plenty of cities in the area that are being proactive in installing courses...Grand Prairie is the best example with Turner. North Richland Hills is also initiating actions to put a nice 18 hole course in on the south side of the city. They came to us.
This situation with Corinth is so backwards. They need to get there stuff together.

That's $10/day, which is about right if you paid one person $70/week to maintain the area (could be done one day a week). In a city council budget, $10/day basically means "Free".
Looks like Corinth's baskets are going to have to find another home.

such a bunch of political BS.
from my best understanding, the course had preliminary approval but not the official stamp of the city council, which was a mess as the article stated. aaron and mike jumped the gun and went ahead. when residents started complaining, the council had the opportunity to save face and back out since there was not already "official" approval.
it sucks because the course is gone essentially because the council didn't have their **** together. now i'm not blaming aaron and mike at all but if they had waited for official approval before installing the course, it think it would still be open. getting approval would have been easier before all the fairways had already been cleared and people gotten upset. there would have been significantly less opposition had they just waited.
plans are still being discussed to install a course in a new location...

Perfect examples of how not to build a disc golf course and how to misrepresent and mess up a city. I'm very happy that I don't live in Corinth.
