Response to question presented online at Final 9:

The deal with Little Africa is that the county fire department ran a study and determined that trees in the park were too abundant and too close to the homes in that area. As a result, there were quite a few trees slated for removal and that process has begun. There has been no discussion regarding removal of the course.

I attended the meeting for this at the Carmichael Parks and Rec District and it was one of the few times where disc golfers and local residents got together as allies. All were concerned about removal of these trees and many of us put in our two cents worth. The residents near T9 or fairway 8 are certainly not happy with the removal of the trees.

Flat out, the park has been deemed to be dangerous and many trees have been removed. New growth has sprung up all over the place and I can barely notice any changes. The SkullMaster Disaster will still take place there next February.

Many of the trees had died due to the insect problem that almost killed all the Euc's out there, the ones that remain are going to make it.

There are plenty of trees to retain a great course.

Don't waste your time on Del Campo, it's never coming back.

Del Paso Update:

I am sorry to say that Del Paso will not be happening.  Many folks worked each weekend for months to install this course.  All tee pads were poured and sleeves were put in place (in some cases multiple sleeves per hole).  Even benches were installed, all by golfers.  The city has now demolished all we have done, without warning.  It is one of the most painful things I have ever been through.  Even expense reports for rental equipment went reimbursed.  Jim Steward with Aba Daba rentals on Auburn Blvd donated thousands of dollars worth of equipment and man hours so please patronize his business.  I will be reaching out to our new mayor Kevin Johnson on this.  If any of you want to escalate this, be sure to contact the unresponsive Roy Tateman of the Sacramento City Parks.  It is truly a shame that the prostitutes and drug abusers are once again enjoying this beautiful area.
