My name is Deborah and I work at the Play It Again Sports in Carrollton, Texas. As most of the golfers know from visiting the store, I am in the process of acquiring materials and labor to facilitate the installation of concrete tees at Jimmy Porter Park in Carrollton. While I have never played disc golf (I do have a Singray) I have over the last three months come to know many of the area golfers and have listened to the tales of Jimmy Porter Park and the "MUD". I live in Carrollton and only wish the city would agree to put in the concrete tees. That having been said, I decided to take the project on with the help of Play It Again Sports and some very wonderful disc golfers.
Currently, I have the steel donated and have many offers for the labor. However, I am having trouble getting the concrete donated. Please let me know if you have any contacts in the concrete business. Several golfers have offered to donate their personal funds to help with the project. Additionally, many golfers have asked if we are going to have the tees in place for the tournament the last of May. While I would love to see that happen, I can only tell them that I will make sure they are in before the Carrollton Open.
Disc golf has come a long way since I first saw it played. I look forward to hearing from anyone with ideas or suggestions regarding the tees at Jimmy Porter Park. Hope you all have a wonderful week and get in a lot of disc golf. Please feel free to email me at dfdunn_53@yahoo.com.
