Spoiled Hike Course Development
The main development in 2018 is that the new place is available
for rent. Lydia Mountain Lodge calls it Walnut Meadows, because
that's what the signs say. But we call it Walnut Meadow because
even though there are lots of Walnut trees, there's really only
one meadow. This disc golf course is coming along, and besides
mowing grass that's main project this summer. There are eight
permanent baskets up already, with four of them having been
moved from the old eastern cluster, plus I've ordered two
more. Five of the new baskets are on the Skyview lot, which is
owned by Lydia Mountain.
Back on the other side of the road, the new development is that
Spoiled Hike purchased two 1.42 acre lots that are between the
Southern Comfort lot and High Ridge Road. The third basket
on order is going to become the new M basket, which will be on
of the two new lots.
After the baskets, I will fish up developing the new course
maps. I already have a preliminary versions for seven.
Most of them will be in one cluster or the other -- Novice, Red,
and White courses of increasing difficulty in both the east and
west. Then there will be the superlong Blue course that
will use baskets on both sides of Turkey Ridge.
The next thing on the list will be put down tee markers down to
make the maps a reality. The western cluster needs most of
them, while the eastern course needs a few more. I will
start out simple with the goal at least soemthing down
everywhere by he end the summer. Constructing a few more
tee pads where they are really needed will be a good winter
project.
I have also ordered custom stamped discs (mostly DX Aviars, Rocs, and Leopards from Innova):
While I will give some away to renters and other acquaintances,
they will also be for sale in the Lydia Mountain store at the
intersection of US 33 and Bull Yearling.
ETA: The new W basket is in. That's the top of the cabin
at 930 Turkey Ridge in the background, with Greene Acres Lake
behind it
Long Range Plans
I am tentatively planning to build another rental
property on one of the new lots next year, with goal of getting in
up and running sometime in 2020. I also may try to sell one or two
of my three Greene Acres lots, preferably to someone interested in a
joining our disc golf consortium.
