Dear SVDGC Member,
Thanks for all your help in 2003! We've installed some hillside RAILINGS, planted lots of BUSHES and TREES, provided BENCHES for most of the tee areas and created something somewhat original that we're calling "BAG TREES". Hellyer Park Disc Golf has never looked so good.
The ANNUAL MEETING and ELECTION is scheduled for SATURDAY, JANUARY 31ST @ 9AM. The location is 3880 S. Bascom Avenue #115, San Jose, CA 95124. It's going to be a busy day as we're scheduled to ALSO have a WORK DAY FROM 10:30 AM TO 2 PM. See you at one or both of the venues.
BEN MEYER has put in a great year of help with his directing/conducting of the DOUBLES LEAGUE on Thursday evenings during the spring and summer. When the sun starts to shine most of the day again we'll be back at the League, probably towards the end of April.
JASON FAUTH, BEN MEYER & JIM CHALLAS were the inspired WATERING CREW who spent a lot of their summer and fall Saturday mornings providing water to all the trees, bushes and vines that have been planted over the years. The watering-guys look forward to recruiting some additional muscle for next summer's watering and ask that anybody with a guilt complex contact us about the beginning of May.
Thanks are also due to ERIC STACKNICK & STEVE GANZ for their continuing efforts in directing/conducting of the MONTHLY TOURNAMENT that occurs on the 2 Saturday of every month. Our financial survival depends largely on the efforts of these dedicated players/workers.
As we go forward into 2004 there is the very real possibility that we'll be able to open the long awaited FRONT NINE. In September we had a meeting on-site at Hellyer Park with the Park & Recreation Department and plans for the expansion were discussed. We're going to tweak the BRIDGE design and get the O.K. from the P&R Dept. and proceed to concurrently present our plans to the necessary agencies involved in the creek crossing: SANTA CLARA VALLEY WATER DISTRICT, STATE FISH & GAME & U.S. FISH & WILDLIFE. If we can gain the various agency approvals for the temporary pedestrian bridge, then we can SET-UP the bridge in MID-APRIL and REMOVE it in MID-OCTOBER. Good luck to us and get your wallets ready.
See you at the course!
