| NOTES from the minigolf meeting, April 6, 2008
| |
| | |
| In general:
| |
| * people like it
| |
| * worried about size (a little big?)
| |
| * could be great in the middle as a rest space ... build rest of course around it
| |
| | |
| playability:
| |
| ball getting stuck in grooves
| |
| * add in flat segments in middle or putty or something
| |
| * could make putting surface flatter
| |
| * need high walls, & separate from sitting area
| |
| * gradient of ground: factor it into design
| |
| | |
| start: could eliminate ramp, start up high (I added a ramp up in my drawing)
| |
| end: could ramp it down to make last part easier
| |
| | |
| surface:
| |
| Astroturf + soft stuff underneath?
| |
| | |
| safety & durability:
| |
| * delta shades – will they hold up?
| |
| * weather - drainage holes and/or tar paper for waterproofing
| |
| * putting surface: needs to be able to support people walking on it … we may need to add supports underneath (current design is prob. not walkable)
| |
| | |
| Overall people were optimistic, they loved the idea of a loungy dual purpose space, and they felt that issues with playability could be tested and fixed as we move forward with design and construction.
