This league is sponsored by Hand and Stone and also by Lorenzo`s Pizzeria. Updates: June
2010 Here
is your June update: * Long Course Tee Pads - Tee pads
are now complete on the long course. Many thanks to the Charlotte Disc Golf
Club for their awesome work. * Tee Sign Artwork - Artwork has
been added to the long tees on the short course, in temporary frames.
Permanent frames and posts are planned for the long tees, and also for the
long course. The local art teachers and students remain excited about
providing their artwork for this unique partnership. February
2010 Here
is your February update: * 2nd Course - The 2nd
course is up and running. This is an advanced course for advanced players.
Maps available above. Concrete tees are coming soon. * Course Conditions - There are lots
of sloppy spots on both courses. We saw this same thing last winter/spring.
Wear some old shoes and watch where you step! * Park Gates - Never, EVER, drive
around the park gates to access the disc golf course. There have been some
incidents of people doing this. Anyone caught doing this will be turned over
to law enforcement. December
2009 Here
is your December update: * 2nd Course - A second course,
targeted to more advanced players, is being installed at Elon! The Charlotte
Disc Golf Club has been working hard, donating dozens if not hundreds of
hours of labor to this longer, more difficult course. Park and Rec, as well
as the general public, have also chipped in, and the concrete tee pads are
being done by an Eagle Scout candidate. The fairways have all been roughed
in, and the baskets have been installed. There is still much work to be done
to groom this course, but it is up and playable! Look for scorecards, maps,
and more info in the near future. * Women`s League - The women`s
league now plays at Kilborne park. Check the CDGC
Forum for more details. September
2009 Here
is your September update: * Concrete Tee Pads - Concrete tee
pads for ALL tees are now complete. Many thanks to the Charlotte Disc Golf
Club, members of the community, and also John McClelland from Park and Rec
and his staff for their valuable help. * Scorecards - The scorecard links
above have been updated to reflect accurate distances for both the short tees
and the long tees. We`ve also listed all holes as `par 3`, at least for now,
to avoid the inevitable confusion about par. * Tee Sign Art - The tee sign art
has been changed. The new art is from the Graphic Design class at Ardrey Kell
High. Be sure to check it out! * Tee Signs - It has been decided
that the long tees will have tee signs similar to the short tees. Work is
underway to create the frames, and to work with our partners at area schools
to get more art. * Aces - In some cities, it is
tradition to write your name on the basket when you get a hole-in-one.
However, in Charlotte, this is frowned upon. An `Ace Board` has been
installed near the practice basket at Elon. So if you get an ace and you want
to tell the world about it, sign the Ace Board and be proud! July
2009 Here
is your July update: * Concrete Tee Pads - Concrete tee
pads for the short tees are complete. Many thanks to Eagle Scout candidate
Taylor Morgan and the rest of his crew, and also to John McClelland from Park
and Rec and his staff for their valuable help. Also, work has begun on
concrete tee pads for the long tees. * Tee Signs - Tee signs have been
installed for all the short tees. The artwork will be changed periodically
throughout the year to feature art from the 3 area schools. * Grand Opening - A Grand Opening celebration
and youth clinic/tournament is being planned for late summer, probably in
September. Stay tuned for more details. * Mulch - Workers continue to spread
out the mulch piles as time allows. June

ivy. Always be on the lookout for fire ants and poison ivy, especially with
young children. Be careful out there. * Grand Opening - A Grand Opening
celebration and youth clinic/tournament is being planned for late summer,
