Zephyr Cove needs help!!!!!!

[elevated plastic]

If you're on facebook please join the group"Friends of Zephyr Cove Disc Golf Course"
If you haven't heard or played the course it is an absolute stunning course and needs help. Somebody is planning on redesigning and altering the gem of a course into a pitch and putt. This person is a one man team and didn't ask the area golfers or anybody before he decided to get permission. We must save this gem. It is the best course in Nevada and one of the most scenic golfing experiences. Thanks

Joined, thanks for sharing.

Is this just one person with an agenda, or what? Hopefully this will result in the club that tends the course forging a stronger relationship with the parks department, because it seems that might have made this avoidable.

Heading up there in the fall and hoping to play it as is. :thmbup:

What?!?! No no no no no no!!! That is easily the coolest, most unique, and challenging courses out there... Not to mention the most epic scenery and views of any course in existence. Why change that course? There's no need... Just build another one, right?

Sounds like it. Something like this would never slither uncontested past our local club, but we have a reasonably good relationship with the cities and county. The culprit would be escorted out of town naked on a donkey.

I hope the locals there are able to get a handle on the situation. Best of luck.

WOW THIS IS EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF THE TRUTH

Wow this is exactly the opposite of the truth. I`m really surprised, I truly thought that the disc golf community was not capable of such a outrageous injustice. When I`m playing Disc Golf and watching the disc flying through the air it brings an inner peace inside me, that I felt a brotherhood of sorts that is hard to be described. I guess like a spiritual zen-like feeling, and always feeling connected to the community as united and open minded people. I guess as a community, we're not there yet. The people on this post are egregiously misinformed of the truth and should look deep inside themselves. Why are they so quick to judge and get angry before they have all the information. Right now for the first time I`m embarrassed to say I`m a disc golfer and feel like something has died in inside of me. The truth will come out and then the disc golf community will take a hard look at itself. Where and how and why did this fire get started and shouldn't this person be held accountable? To waste all the people's time! You can get the facts at: https://sites.google.com/site/zephyrcovedgc/home

If you could please spread this info to help get this corrected.
Thank you all for your time and peace be with you.

Exactly.

For those folks out there longing for a disc-golf-based "Reality" TV show, I think there's one in the making here.

Sad to see, unfortunately it doesn't matter whos way is better or not in this situation. It makes the disc golf community as a whole look ridiculous. I'm sure everyone's heart is in the right place, but I'm sorry you guys have to deal with this and I hope it works out.

Fwiw this kind of crap is exactly why I don't pursue new course installation and design like I used to.

Can't we all just get along?

For all it's claims of misinformation, this web page provides no information. I suppose it would be interesting to see what is proposed with this course. It there a web page that outlines proposed changes, not obtuse generalizations and character discussions?

THE ACCUSED SAYS HIS PEACE

I wanted everything to be smoothed out locally through an open forum and a democratic process, protecting names and reputations. I didn't want to fuel the fire but it seems to have already reached the forest canopy. It has come to this unfortunately as the campaign against me and my group continues unabated.

I contacted "elevated plastic" privately to ask that he remove this misinformation. He replied privately to say he just "heard" these things and they are not fact to him, yet went on to post the link to the petition on change.org. People across the country are signing a petition about a local issue on which they are receiving one-sided libelous information. I understand how highly valued the Zephyr Course is to locals and people all over the world. I have assisted many visitors in finding their way and helping them enjoy the experience of the course and my home, Tahoe.

Please instill trust in the local activists who have endorsement of the County and don't exacerbate the issue by fighting us, Douglas County Disc Golf & Interpretive Trails. The door is wide open for feedback and concerns about Zephyr's future. If you'd like a full recounting of events visit this page:

Just to clear the air and actually speak your piece, then: Is there a main reason you decided to go around the well-established course designers and caretakers other than the fact that they didn't like your ideas?
