Overview

Santa Cruz River Park is southern Arizona's Oldest and Busiest Disc Golf Course. In fact, if you ask the old timers from Tucson, they'll tell you that it is one of the oldest courses in America! Santa Cruz has had many changes over the year, most of them for the good. However, as anyone who plays there regularly knows, the course is in desperate need of a facelift! The problems include lack of proper signs, landscaping, and perhaps most importantly, worn out baskets!

The Tucson Parks and recreation department has been generously providing us with new benches, and they have also indicated that they intend to take on some of the landscaping issues and eventually provide proper high-tech signs for the course. But baskets are another issue altogether!

The original DGA Mach 3 baskets have served the community very well for many, many years. But like anything that sees a lot of use over a long period of time, they are now worn out. Every one of us who play there has spent time complaining about "those broken down #$%^ baskets" not catching discs. Lets face it, the Santa Cruz baskets are pretty much shot!

If one thinks about the historical importance of Santa Cruz, not to mention the amount of people for whom Santa Cruz is their home course, it becomes obvious that something should be done! With this in mind, TCL has announced the Santa Cruz Restoration Project (SCRP)!

Goal of SCRP

The mission of the SCRP is to replace all 18 baskets with brand new DGA Mach 3 baskets. Any experienced frolfer will tell you the MACH 3 are the top-of-the-line is disc catching technology. Ben has been in contact with DGA, and the total cost for 18 baskets is approximately $6800.00! This includes shipping and the amount of sleeves we will need to replace those that have been rusted, frozen, or damaged.

How Can We Achieve This

After careful consideration and much discussion, the TCL board has come up with three ways that you can help this project meet its goals!

• Sponsor a basket! The cost to sponsor a basket is $375 dollars. In return, your name and/or company logo will be permanently placed on the tucsondiscgolf.com web site. We will also have your name or the name of your company or organization placed on the basket so that everyone who plays disc golf at Santa Cruz will know who to thank for donating to the SCRP.



• Donate any amount via Paypal. By following the link below, you can donate any amount that you can afford to the fund via Paypal. Those who sponsor via Paypal will have there name placed permanently on the tucsondiscgolf.com web site.
  



• Donate cash or cash winnings at any local event or league. This is probably the most convenient method for many of you. Donate the change from a $10.00 bill when you pay for league, or donate your winnings after a great round! Cash donors will, at their request, have their names placed permanently on the tucsondiscgolf.com web site. Ben, Lew, Chris, Svea, and Steve are all prepared to accept donations. If you would like to be recognized on the web site, be sure to let them know. You can donate a little at each league, and Steve will update the total amount you have donated on the web site at the next scheduled web page update.
