I used to go to Winchester from time to time while attending school in Romney, WV. Now I'll have another reason to stop by & check out this new course at Jim Barnett Park next time I'm in the area. Having 400 people alone signing that petition just says a lot about the community, unlike some other towns that I've read about in the past NOT wanting a disc golf course built in their parks or their backyards. When it's done right, designed right and maintained...it's a great thing to have compared to the alternatives (i.e. under-used park that attracts vandalism, criminal activities, ATV's tearing up the park to name a few.)
