Inver Grove Heights may implement fee for disc golf course

Flinging discs at North Valley Park in Inver Grove Heights soon could come at a cost. The city council on Monday will consider entering into an agreement with a vendor that would collect a user fee for the park's disc golf course. The switch to pay-per-play — a rarity in disc golf — would give the city a yet-unknown amount of revenue for maintaining and making improvements to the course, city officials say. Last year, the city asked users to voluntarily pay to play the 18-hole course miniature golf content, which opened in the early 1990s. Annual $30 passes were available either online or at the community center, but many players either ignored the fee or weren't aware of it, said Tracy Petersen, the recreation supervisor for the city's parks and recreation department. "It was difficult, because we didn't have staff down there to monitor the park and enforce (the fee)," she said. The city in recent years had discussed implementing a daily fee but always ditched the idea after considering the cost of staff time needed to collect it, she said. The one-year agreement between Inver Grove Heights and Fairway Flyerz is similar to the one neighboring South St. Paul entered into with the Little Canada disc golf retailer this week. Fairway Flyerz staff would sell annual and daily passes, disc golf accessories and snacks in a temporary building at North Valley seven days a week. The retailer would keep all revenue generated from its on-site retail sales Is Your Golf Swing Training Aids True.

Magazine: Verti-Drain makes light work of de-compacting 27 holes

A fleet of Charterhouse Verti-Drains are helping Mirfield, Yorkshire contractor Alan Chappelow return golf courses to optimum condition while keeping the members happy. Alan, whose company, Alan Chappelow Sports Ground Contractor Ltd serves golf and sports ground customers all over the country, has more than 20 years experience in the industry, which he puts to good use in getting the best out of machinery. "We have four Verti-Drains in total, two heavy duty 7626 models, a 2.6m working width 7526 and a smaller 7316, which comes into its own on greens and tees miniature golf content. We can use the three bigger machines together to give golf courses the best de-compaction service in the very short time window open to them." At Moor Allerton Golf Course in Leeds, head greenkeeper Marcus Oakey was delighted when Alan and his team - his two sons also work in the business - were able to Verti-Drain 27 holes in three days. "It can take weeks to do that big a job, but golf club members don't appreciate the course being out of play, so word has quickly got round and we have been approached by other clubs to do the same for them. They like the idea of such an efficient service," says Alan. The Verti-Drain also offers the advantage of being able to work at full depth of 40cm, and at maximum heave, giving highly effective de-compaction. "And yet there is no surface disruption - Moor Allerton Golf Club were very impressed with the finish," says Alan. "There are faster machines on the market, but they just cannot work to this depth, which is essential on the clay and stone. The work at Moor Allerton was completed in the autumn, and gave the course an excellent preparation for the hard winter that followed Choi Donated $100,000 to Japan Earthquake."

Jon Schmidt — Monkey junkie

While Senior Management Major Jon Schmidt has been predominantly involved on campus in his previous three years and one semester at Gustavus, his participation and presence here this semester has been largely abated.Among Jon’s activities at Gustavus, he has played basketball, club volleyball, club ultimate Frisbee, co-founded the Gustavus Disc Golf Club, played drums in the Proclaim band, acted in a one-act play last spring, went to India on the Social Justice Peace and Development trip and, as of last year, has been devoted to ceramics and making pottery to sell crazy golf . “I enjoy how Gustavus gives you the chance to do so many different things,” Jon said. “I have done a lot of different and unique things at Gustavus athletically, musically, artsy and studying abroad.”Jon’s friends have characterized him as passionate, hardworking, friendly and thoughtful, and that passion has recently led to another new endeavor—owning a business. “My mom took me through this coffee shop, Mocha Monkey, to show me the pottery after I had given her a piece of pottery for Mother’s Day. I really liked the atmosphere and thought it would be cool to one day own a place like this and do pottery. I got a job there in July to learn more about it, and eventually, found out from the previous owners that they were looking to sell,” Jon said. “It went from there, and I eventually took over sole ownership on Jan. 1, 2011.”In fact, Jon even credits his semester-long study abroad in India, which was the “highlight of his life,” as the beginning stages of wanting to own a restaurant. “I had an idea for an Indian fast casual restaurant. I wrote a business plan in India and rewrote it in more detail in my entrepreneurship class. Then, I got super into pottery and wanted to combine my passion for pottery, interest in the restaurant industry and being socially just and environmentally sustainable,” Jon said.Jon sells his own ceramics at his store Mocha Monkey. Lindsay Lelivelt.Jon’s girlfriend and Art Education Major Elise Biewen has observed this zealous and almost obsessive personality trait. “Whenever he puts his mind to something, he gets it done Choi Donated $100,000 to Japan Earthquake. He has been passionate about so many things from drums and guitar to basketball, golf, football and volleyball, to wakeboarding and snowboarding, to ceramics and now Mocha Monkey,” Biewen said. “He puts everything he has into that one activity and can’t stop thinking about it when he is not doing it.”Due to Jon’s involvement with Mocha Monkey, he is currently a part-time student with a reduced load of classes, including a Productions and Operations Management course by arrangement with Assistant Professor of Economics and Management Kristian Braekkan. “Jon sees his education as not only a quest for a diploma, but as a part of a learning experience that will continue when he leaves Gustavus,” Braekkan said. “Being a small business owner, Jon is exceptionally motivated to soak in as much learning as he can while in college and is balancing many obligations during his senior year.”

Disc Golfers Call Tyler Park Home

Have you ever been walking around Tyler State Park and wondered where the sound of clanging chains was coming from? Well, back in the woods, amid the trails and paths, athletes flock to enjoy one the best disc golf courses around.Disc golf is similar to traditional golf, but instead of a ball, you use a plastic disc to complete a hole crazy golf . And instead of swinging a club, you’re throwing the disc into an elevated metal basket Since the mid-1990s, members of the Bucks County Disc Golf Alliance have made the 27-hole course at Tyler Park, which they designed and built, their course of choice.Disc golf "is just like ball golf except for the price,” said Bucks County Disc Golf Alliance member Rex Hay. "It’s played professionally around the planet."While you can enjoy the same challenges and competition of traditional golf, disc golf is a very inexpensive hobby that requires no pricey course fees, say members of the Bucks County Disc Golf Alliance. Plus, Newtown’s Tyler Park is one of the best disc golf courses on the East Coast.“It’s so much fun,” Hay said, adding the sport is easy to pick up. The Bucks County Disc Golf Alliance has a variety of opportunities for both newcomers to the sport and experienced players. They have a winter league that meets Sundays, doubles on Saturdays at 10 a.m., a summer league, a women’s clinic in the spring, and a variety of tournaments throughout the year, including a toy drive tournament around the holidays.The course at Tyler Park was originally built in 1994 and expanded in 2001. It was the second course the alliance created in Bucks County Is Tiger Woods an Ordinary Golfer. The first was at Tinicum Park in 1991.Before the course was built, “this was a really desolate area of the park,” alliance member Scott Murray explained.“We cleaned it all up,” Hay said, adding that the alliance has a very good relationship with the park. “We take real good care of the park,” he said. The area around the course is “just as clean as a whistle.”Alliance members always pick up the trash and cigarette butts that they see littered around the course. They also helped raise money to build the pavilion adjacent to the course.Now, Tyler Park “is one of the top courses on the Eastern seaboard,” Hay said.Not only is the course challenging, it’s also scenic with plenty of wildlife around, including fox and hawks.Not to mention, you get a great workout playing at Tyler Park. “You’re up and down the hills,” he said. And in the summer, the shady trees create the perfect environment for outdoor exercise. “Even when it's hot, it’s cool in the woods.”The sport appeals to people of all ages and backgrounds, Hay said. The Bucks County Disc Golf Alliance’s 75 active members consist of men, women, twenty somethings, retirees, professional players, and even a blind player. Most players are from Bucks County or Northeast Philadelphia, but some come from New Jersey and Montgomery County, too.“We have a lot of women players and they love it,” Hay said.The club meets the first Tuesday of the month at Giuseppe’s in Richboro. While you don’t have to be a member to sign up to play in the alliance’s various tournaments, the club prefers you are because dues go back to the park. Membership is $15 and comes with a disc.

Kampala’s most eccentric people

A new Queen Bee was hatched unto Uganda recently, kicking out old names like Judith Heard, Sue O’Chola De Roy and all the other eccentric characters.I can imagine what must be going on in the minds of the old rags whose territory has been invaded by a little-known, 22-year-old Latifa ‘Black’ Nalukenge. She says she was born in 1989. Black, Mad Black, Latifa Black, we have failed to catch up with her stage names, though her facebook profile name is Black Meddie Ssentongo crazy golf .From blowing dollars off her palms to a scrambling crowd, to giving Shs1m in five seconds to a famous artiste if he acknowledged that he is truly broke, Black has become the talk of town.Not because of her beauty – no one has accused her of that – or her hair that changes colours every week. What all the Doubting Thomases want to know is, “Where does she get her money from?” She was even favoured by Sylvia Owori as the guest of honour at the launch of midnight shopping.Judith Heard must have taken a look at herself in the mirror wondering why her name has dropped off the top of the list so fast. Black, whose hero is obviously Meddie Sentongo, says she is a real estate dealer Newest Golf News about Hunter Mahan.

Some say she married one Mr Black and came out of the marriage with his child Jonan and a few million dollars in child support. Others say Mr Black is six feet under and she was willed his fortune. No one really knows the truth because many are not buying the real estate story, and she is not giving interviews.“Some people are dense; I have told you not to ask me silly questions. Heeeeeeeee. Leave me alone,” one of her facebook status updates reads. Well, not in that perfect English but this status has 41 comments never mind that she is telling these people off.A real Black facebook update reads as such, “Be u’re self, don’t loss hope wait 4 u’re time to come, b’se mi am not God, am only a little gal just born in 1989/7/5 let mi just say I was blessed before ma mom born mi.”90% of her facebook updates are in Luganda and about her love for Meddie Ssentongo; 10% is about her son Jonan.“Meddie, I miss u please come back home and we sleep ma darling, please am waiting for you let us make this day very sweet and don’t forget that I do adore u with all my heart sweet heart,” she writes.It is not enough to say that Black is living large, she is known to close bars in Club Silk where she pays millions for all revellers’ refreshments. She has a line of bang handlers whose lifestyle she funds as they run around with her flashing the middle finger in her latest wheels, a Range Rover Sport.

Federal legislation could help Tahoe ski resorts expand summer recreation portfolio

LAKE TAHOE — Zip lines, ropes courses, mountain bike parks, disc golf courses and concerts could be easier to permit at ski resorts under a bill introduced by U.S. Congress members last month.Adding jobs to ski towns during the offseason is also a major goal of the legislation, sponsored by Sens. Mark Udall, D-Colo., and John Barrasso, R-Wyo., as well as Reps. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, and Diana DeGette, D-Colo.“This bill will not only increase recreational opportunities but also expand business opportunities and jobs,” DeGette said in a statement. “Year-round recreational activity will provide substantial benefits to our local economies, and help create stable jobs in the thirteen states that are currently home to ski resorts on public land crazy golf .”The legislators introduced the bill, known as the Ski Area Recreation Opportunity Enhancement Act of 2011, on Feb. 17. The bill would modify the National Forest Ski Area Permit Act of 1986.Some of the recreational activities included in the bill have already been permitted at Lake Tahoe resorts by the U.S. Forest Service, which encourages summer recreation “that is compatible with or enhances natural resource-based recreation opportunities and does not require additional specialized facilities,” said spokeswoman Cheva Heck.But the bill's authors hope to clarify exactly what can be permitted on Forest Service land containing ski resorts.Tennis courts, water slides, swimming pools, golf courses and amusements parks would be specifically prohibited if the bill passed.The legislation would also explicitly allow an activity that is already prominent on the slopes — snowboarding. The 1986 act only mentions Nordic and alpine skiing as allowable activities at ski resorts on Forest Service land.Amelia Richmond, spokeswoman for Squaw Valley USA, which offers many summer recreation opportunities, said offering prospective customers year-round activities is crucial to the resort's business model Tiger Woods is Back.“As a company, we have year-round overhead and year-round employees, so having summer and fall activities is key to operating a successful business,” she said. “Squaw Valley is currently in the process of defining significant future improvements for the resort as a whole. I feel confident that some of those improvements will relate to summer operations.”
