New Disc Golf Course at College of the Redwoods

According to a press release from College of the Redwoods, the grand opening of their new course is on Friday, July 17th at 1:30pm.

At the time of this posting, Par Infinity volunteers are working out the kinks of the new course.

The first tee is next to the child-development center and the snack shack of the football stadium.
The course was designed by the great Drew Redden with help from other golfers. This new course is nine holes, but there are plans to add nine more holes to CR's campus in 2010. It's unclear whether or not all 18 holes will be part of the same course.

The opening ceremony involves a vaguely-titled "Disc-Throwing Kick off Event." Websites for Par Infinity and CR currently have no information about event (or the course).

CR president Jeff Marsee apparently enjoys a round of disc golf from time to time. The new course opens up a new challenge for all local DGers, and is more convenient than Coopers for many southern Eurekans.

Between Jeffs Marsee and Leonard, it's nice to see some local leaders stepping up.
