Her suggests Filbert Street which would allow for only 9 holes or Schumann Island on Kildare which would allow for an 18 hole course. Can put some on the north side and a little on the south side this area would not impact any homes or walkers.

Gabriel Knox 8556 102nd Court plays disc golf at Wickham — Schumann Island sounds good to him says club members would come out to build the course they are 13 to 16 yrs old and live from Melbourne to Sebastian. Some live in Ft Pierce, some in Titusville and everywhere in between. There are 50 members. Ben Hocker says there is a large airport or golf course. If getting large will need restrooms and other stuff maybe at the airport would be better. Committee to look at locations and bring back.
