The commission agreed, voting 3-0 on
Thursday to recommend to the City Council that the disc golf course be
increased to 18 holes.
The committee has received $700 from a
fundraiser and donations from The Shack, 1313 North H St
The expansion plans receive no complaints,
Commissioner Arlen Sechrest said. Residents warmly received the plans because
they enjoyed seeing swaths of people come out and compete against each other,
or themselves, by throwing aerodynamically stable discs, similar to a Frisbee,
into a basket.
“(The back nine are) going to be more
difficult because of the extra amount of trees and topography of the land,”
Sommers said.
Charles Sommers, who spoke on behalf of
the Lompoc Disc Golf Committee, which is spearheading the effort, said the
course construction could begin as early as late June.
“That’s real positive when you don’t have
anybody doing any complaining about it,” Sechrest said. “It was a real positive
evening.”
He said he submitted preliminary plans for
the course two weeks ago.
The council will provide a final TaylorMade R11S Driver say on
expansion at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 5, at City Hall.
Sechrest said that there was a round of
applause from the people that assembled for the meeting and from commissioners
that the course would be doubled.
The layout for the back nine holes came
about after a group of about 20 people from a local disc golf club called the
Rocket City Chainbangers came together to provide input and suggestions.
They examined the fields and made
suggestions.
The city has committed $3,400 discount golf clubs toward the
project, Sommers said. The other $2,100 will be raised by the Lompoc Disc Golf
Committee.
The expansion would include construction
of 4-foot-by-9-foot tee pads and baskets, which is where the disc is tossed at
the beginning of each hole.
