I support disc golf at Pinto Lake County Park

Pinto Lake Championship Disc Golf Course is a tremendous success story, transforming a once overgrown and dangerous public space into a thriving park that has witnessed dramatically increased use from disc golfers, walkers, joggers, bicyclists, bird-watchers, picnickers, etc.. It has hosted large womens tournaments, and even a world championship with hundreds of competitors and thousands of spectators. Tom Schot has received numerous awards in recognition of his work at Pinto Lake. However, a small (but vocal) group of residents in Soquel don't understand what has happened at Pinto Lake, and even believe that disc golf has been destructive to the environment and has scared away other park users. They have actually gone so far as to request a significant reduction or complete removal of the course.
