As of today, June 23rd, the course is OPEN again.  Remember DeLaVeaga is a NO SMOKING area.  The fire danger is very high and one accident can destroy our course and endanger many houses.

DO NOT SMOKE AT DELAVEAGA

As many of you are aware, Wednesday there was a fire
on the right side of hole 24's fairway. Fortunately
the fire was spotted before it got out of control. The
fire department responded quickly and they took care
of it. I think that disaster was narrowly avoided.

I happened to be at the course and saw it first hand,
and let me tell you, seeing a large amount of smoke
billowing up at DeLaveaga is a scary sight. It would
not have taken much for the entire place to go up in
flames. Understandably the residents who live further
up the road are extremely concerned. Who knows how
close they came to losing their homes on Wednesday.
That is enough to scare anyone.

No one knows for sure what caused the fire, but as an
average guy, the most likely scenario I can think of
is a cigarette. Cigarette smoking is Illegal at the
Delaveaga Disc Golf Course, and yet I see people
smoking all the time. Now I have a crystal clear
understanding why some of the residents who drive by
are so adamant and proactive about discouraging
smoking in the park. I think it is something we all
must take part in, as there just isn't enough manpower
available to enforce a law that is blatantly
disregarded.

I want to continue to play Delaveaga, so please, don't
smoke there.
