=== Feedback ===
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.
