Mat-Su Borough: Alcantra Disc Golf Course Gets Much Needed Improvement

My name is Kelly Allen, president of the Mat-Su Disc Golf Association, and we're standing here with a bunch of wood chips that were donated by Foremost Construction, Fonoff Construction, Assemblymember Sumner, and Assemblymember Fonoff, and we've got several members from from the Mat-Su Disc Golf Association out here spreading these out around tee pads and the trails to help clear up all the muddy areas, 'cause we've got quite a few people that come and frequent the course outside of our club. We're just trying to clean it up and make it more presentable for the community.

On behalf of, uh, Matsu Disc Golf Association, I would like to give a special thanks to several contractors who were able to make this project happen. Besides all the volunteers that are working and putting this together who donated their time and money to make this happen, some are company for delivering and buying these chips. Formost Construction, Spinar Builders Supply, we really sincerely want to thank you for making this— making a lot of improvements to this, this golf.

This is specially engineered fiber wood chips that are done so that they will not rust, and they should last here for a while. And that's why we're laying this tarp underneath. That's going to help not to mix in with the dirt, and this thing should last us a long time. We're going to ask everybody to take care of this course and continue to do improvements so more and more people can enjoy this course for many more years to come. Frequency of the casual players out here has gone up quite a bit every year and continues to go up every year, and we try to reach them through our different events we do that gets the young people out, the old people out, the families out.

They get free discs, they run through a tournament-type setting. It's, it's fun for everybody, but the, the course itself has been being used more and more every year.
