Alexandria Disc Golf Course may get a makeover - needs YOUR support.

This is copied from a email we just recieved about future plans for the 9 hole course in Alexandria.

The Alexandria Park and Recreation Board is weighing whether to invest in another round of disc golf improvements. The existing 9-hole course will remain 9 but lengthened to make it more challenging and more enjoyable. They need to know how much interest there is in the community for such a project. The park board meets at the city building at 8236 W. Main St. at 7pm on the first Wednesday of the month. To make your voice heard, attend the meeting or call (859) 635-4125 to add your support. Have something good to say, like ‘it would get more play if it was lengthened’ or ‘an upgrade would really make it enjoyable’.  Steve Trauger

Please either make the meeting to show support or call and give much needed positive feedback to get this course in the shape we all know it could be and make another mediocre course worth playing. Thanks.

The Alexandria park board has asked for an 18 hole design. After doing a walk through a couple of times I think that this park will rival Lincoln Ridge in the fun factor. Up and down, wooded, open bombs, scenic and just plain fun is what we will be shooting for. Anyone in that area that wants to help out post here or call the shop 513 541 7305 and we will get back with you. If we do it right this course could make Cincinnati top 5 list.

Last week i stopped at the park to see what u guys had staked off the day in ran into u. This looks like it is going to be a real jewel Fred. Another 18 in the area would be amazing. I'm really glad you are designing this one. Let me know if you need any help with course work.

Bob and I are finishing up the final design phase of this disc golf course. To make it easier on everyone that wants to help and to try to get more people involved Bob and I will mark the fairways(around trees) with caution tape. Removing honey suckle is the first priority(its not super bad). If you are interested in helping stop by the Nati and I can help set you up. Tools you will need are mattox, bow saw/chain saw, ax etc. So far we have the NKU disc golf team interested in helping along with a couple of local disc golfers. To give you an idea of what this course will look like, think Mt Airy in the woods. Bob's salivating on a specific hole which according to him will be 500+ downhill through the woods(there might be a couple of them). Bob and I will be out there during the week if anyone has odd hours and wants to help. I will update as we go along.

We plan on being out there this afternoon. Call first. 859-630-4142.

Took my dogs to the park for a walk and noticed the stakes for baskets and tees. Looks really interesting following the runoff creek down from the dam. Just wondering about the general lay of the course, will it turn and circle back to the left or the right of the creek. Either way there will be lots of elevation change.

Fred and I have recently been working on hole 4 of the redesigned Alexandria course. It is shaping up to be a tight, uphill par 4, dogleg right, slightly over 400 feet. The woods we have to work with have large trees, very little brush, and lots of elevation change - a really nice combination. We could use some help. If you are interested and motivated to help, we will post the next time we plan to work.

Mike Newman's number is 270-875-3960. Contact him for work day schedules, he is available during the week as well. Thanks

slg6218, contact Mike Newman ^^^ and he can direct you to the area where the course will be located and instruct you on what needs to be done. You can then work around your schedule. Help is greatly appreciated. As usual park has little or no money for disc golf and will be looking for tee sign sponsors soon.
