Here's a letter published in the Pasadena Star-News, 1-1-95, Page A14:
"Recent efforts written by the Sierra Club and other environmentalists to
remove the Frisbee golf course from Hahamongna Watershed Park (formerly knows
as Oak Grove Park) are nothing short of absurd. That course is the world's
first Frisbee golf course and should be preserved as a historical landmark
for future generations to enjoy.
"The accusations being made that the disc golfers are killing the trees are
simply not true. I hate to see a conflict between disc golfers and
environmentalists break out because many of us consider ourselves to be
environmentally conscious
"We would all like to see the park's beauty maintained; however driving out
the disc golfers would only take away from the public's enjoyment of one of
the park's recreational facilities. This would be in direct conflict of the
park's purpose for existence: to serve the public's recreational needs.
"I can only hope that a perfectly san compromise can be reached. Recent
efforts such as the tree planting a few weeks ago are a good start."
