With plans to put a disc golf course in Bay City State Recreation Area on hold until 2013 at the earliest, a Bangor Township resident who previously worked on the project has started a national petition urging officials to consider an 18-hole course. Craig Prime, 58, said he spent the last four years volunteering for park officials to come up with possible course designs, going so far as to secure funding and free labor. Prime said in 2011, he secured a grant of nearly $8,000 for the Friends of Bay City State Recreation Area from the Bay Area Community Foundation and an additional $4,000 from other donations. He said the Friends group, which is spearheading the plan, returned the funds when park officials decided not to go ahead with his 18-hole plan.
