read the course description

I hope this doesn't have a negative effect on the hard battle the Chico Outsiders have fought for so many years to get this course to the place it is. Of course, first hoping that the man is OK.

wow..hope he is okay.. be careful out there fellas.. from reading the article it was hard to tell if he was near the edge of a cliff and could have been more careful or if the cliff just kinda gave way under him and there was nothing he could have done

 

[optidiscic]

checked the facebook page for the course........sounds like he was a disc golfer who recklessly decided to go check out the view from some nearby cliffs...doesnt seem like he was standing on a tee pad or even on the course at all

Local news. Holes 3, 4, 6, and 7 are famous for being on the cliff, and lots of discs are lost off there. You should never go down after them. It just isn't worth trading your life.

I don't know who it was that fell, but we are all hoping for the best.

So he was being stupid. This didn't result from a normal round of play. It sounds like he's going to be ok.

 

[optidiscic]

No he was obeying the law

of gravity

 

[thrembo]

Right!

More than likely it was a normal round of play. That ended by doing something stupid.

What I'm getting at is that he wasn't "on the course" when he went down?

 

[optidiscic]

any good pics of these cliffs?

 

[Easy Tigur]

Foot fault.

Did the rest of the card finish? What was this guy's penalty for not finishing his round, DQ?

This was the last course in the world that something like this needed to happen. After all the difficulty that went down just for the locals to get that course built, I'm sure the enviro-wackos who opposed it are going to use this as an excuse to get the authorities to pull it.

A ten story fall and he's ok except for some back pain. What are the odds?

This is why we straddle putt, kids.
