<br />Draft <br /> <br />PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> <br />11/29/06 <br />by <br />PTRC Member Lanny Baumann' <br /> <br />Please consider construction of a Bocce Golf TM course at Lindy's Park. <br /> <br />What is Bocce Golf? <br />It is an outdoor skill game that I invented where a Bocce ball is rolled around <br />a course from tee to green in an attempt to get the ball in the holes with the <br />fewest rolls. It is similar to golf but much easier to play because there are <br />no clubs to purchase or select from when taking your turn. <br /> <br />How does one olav Bocce Golf? (Using Lindy's Park as an example) <br />Bring your own Bocce ball to Lindy's Park. Park in the lot at the top of the <br />hill where the first hole starts and the last hole ends. The first three holes are <br />on the County Road E side of the triangle, the next three on the Old Snelling <br />side, and the final three utilize the hillside along the road to the parking lot. <br />All nine holes are on the perimeter of the park along the tree line, just inside <br />the fence. Like golf, score cards are used to keep track of scores with par <br />designations for each hole from par 2 to par 4 with hole lengths from 15 to <br />35 yards for this design. <br /> <br />How much would the course cost to build and what would be included? <br />The course at Lindy's Park would be a very basic and cheap design with no <br />added shrubs, sand traps, or water hazards for aproximately $200.00 1 hole. <br />This proposal design is for nine hoies but there is enough room for three <br />more holes if wanted. <br />This special price just for Arden Hills includes: <br />-- course layout 1 design <br />-- 9 or 12 hole score card on spreadsheet format <br />-- stone tee marker with hole number, yard length, and drawing of hole <br />-- contouring of greens area around holes to provide consistent roll <br />-- PVC hole liner, cap, and 16" red flag hole marker <br />-------> Four holes might require small tree protectors, add $20.00 Ihoie. <br />-------> There is an annual name use fee of $1 00.00 after the first year. <br /> <br />This basic course design should not require any special grass mowing other <br />than the normal weekly cutting, however, the grass at Lindy's Park is very <br />sparce and inconsistent, and might need some top dressing and seeding for <br />better Bocce Golf fairways. <br />If there is significant interest in Bocce Golf, the entire park could be upgraded <br />to a full 18 holes with a more advanced course design which would have a more <br />refined and manicured appearance that would be much more fun to play. <br /> <br />, Bocci 1 Bocce Golf Minnesota Trademark Owner <br />
