RCVD FIELD REPORT: Deerfield Community Park (Irvine)

Written by

Let me be perfectly clear: the real danger on this course isn’t a rogue putter on a 95-foot anhyzer line—it’s what’s hovering silently above it. I’ve warned the Irvine Company before, and I’ll say it again—those metallic flashes in the stratosphere aren’t swamp gas. They’re not weather balloons. And no, I wasn’t “affected by excessive Riip Chain Out IPA consumption,” despite what the Irvine Company’s in-house geospatial behavioral attorney claims.

What we have here is a classic deflection maneuver—a warning sign fixated on disc golfers “at play” while everyone ignores the actual anomaly overhead: pulsing, disc-shaped craft conducting surveillance, possibly energy sampling from the plastic flight paths. I recorded magnetospheric irregularities on my prototype telemetry rig on THREE separate putts yesterday.

But let’s talk about this course. If you can survive the oppressive HOA legal vibrations and the creeping unease of interdimensional observation, this is one of the finest approach and putting zones in Southern California. Hole 5 in particular gives you tight lines, variable elevation, and wind shears that, if you’re paying attention, don’t seem to match the trees.

If you’re looking for a short game tune-up while simultaneously contributing to disc-anomalous research, this is your spot. But don’t let your guard down. Watch the skies. Watch the shadows. And for the love of all that is stable-underwind, don’t sign anything from the Irvine Company without reading the fine print.

    Re: Participation at Deerfield Community Park – Liability and Compliance Reminder

    Dear Dr. Refaelov,

    We are writing on behalf of the Irvine Company regarding your recent participation in disc golf activities at Deerfield Community Park, as documented in your April 15, 2025, field report published on RCVD.us. Your engagement with the course, including multiple rounds and the use of telemetry equipment, is noted with appreciation for your enthusiasm and commitment to the sport.​

    As you are aware, the City of Irvine requires all participants in recreational activities at its parks to complete a liability waiver prior to engagement. This waiver serves to release the City and its affiliates from liability related to personal injury, property damage, and other risks associated with participation in such activities. The waiver also includes provisions regarding the use of photographic materials for promotional purposes. ​

    Our records indicate that a completed waiver corresponding to your recent activities has not been received. We kindly request that you complete and submit the required waiver at your earliest convenience to ensure compliance with City policies and to facilitate your continued enjoyment of the park’s facilities.​

    Please be advised that adherence to these protocols is essential for the safety and well-being of all park users and for the proper management of City resources. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in restrictions on future access to park facilities.​

    Should you have any questions or require assistance in completing the waiver, please do not hesitate to contact the City of Irvine Community Services Department at 949-724-6649 or via email at yourirvine@cityofirvine.org.

    We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your continued participation in Irvine’s recreational offerings.

    Sincerely,

    Legal Counsel
    The Irvine Company

    RE: Observed Public Alcohol Consumption – Pending Legal Review

    Dear Dr. Refaelov,

    This communication is being issued as part of an official field report concerning an active investigation conducted by the Irvine Police Department in coordination with local Homeowners’ Association (HOA) compliance units.

    On April 13, 2025, during routine plainclothes surveillance in a Deerfield-area HOA community, I, Detective M. Santiago (#4573), observed an individual matching your description engaging in what appeared to be the public consumption of alcohol—specifically, what appeared to be a “Riip Chain Out” IPA. The incident occurred in the open grass quadrant adjacent to the east basket cluster of the Deerfield Community Park disc golf layout.

    At the time, the primary operation concerned an unrelated but pressing matter: numerous confirmed violations of municipal code §3-5-310 involving pet owners failing to remove animal waste from shared greenbelt walkways. However, the sighting of a participant consuming alcohol in a City park—without an event permit or designated beverage zone—compelled documentation under IPD procedural standards.

    Please be advised that the public consumption of alcohol in City of Irvine parks is a citable offense under Municipal Code §4-5-701, and depending on context, may result in misdemeanor charges. A formal citation may be pending. In cases where the observed individual cannot be positively identified at the scene, IPD reserves the right to pursue charges upon post-incident review and corroboration of identity.

    At this time, you are not officially charged. However, should additional evidence surface confirming a violation (including but not limited to photographic or testimonial corroboration), a bench warrant may be issued pursuant to standard enforcement protocols.

    We invite you to clarify the circumstances by contacting our office at your earliest convenience. This can be done by calling (949) 724-7151 and referencing Incident Report #25-4037-PARKSURV. Failure to respond may result in further legal escalation.

    We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work to maintain safe and respectful community standards.

    Respectfully,
    Detective M. Santiago #4573
    Irvine Police Department
    Community Compliance Division

    It has come to my attention that the so called “Irvine Company” wants people to fill out a waiver before participating in their shitty ass course? You have to be out of your mind. There’s nothing remotely unsafe about your course, and one can easily score aces on their very first attempt at the course with a Genius. This is outlandish. When I served as a tunnel rat as a lowly enlisted puke in the army in 1969, we didn’t have to fill out “safety waivers” or whatever you called it. The Cong didn’t give a damn, and they would throw discs at us high speed in low visibility conditions. This was long before fancy ass troops today had “NODS”. We didn’t need NODS back then, just go old instinct and training.

    Listen Irvine Company, you need to get off your high horse with your dumb green line parking lots. This serves as your first and last warning. Step off or be stepped on.

      Dear Brig Gen Johnson,

      We are writing on behalf of The Irvine Company regarding a publicly posted statement authored and attributed to you, referencing our Deerfield Community Park Disc Golf Course and making direct threats and defamatory remarks against our organization, employees, and property management policies.

      Your statement, which includes language such as “step off or be stepped on,” references to physical confrontation, and wildly inappropriate analogies to military conflict, constitutes a direct threat, a violation of civil code pertaining to public safety and decorum, and a potential act of incitement under California Penal Code §422 and related provisions.

      Furthermore, your description of the Irvine Company’s park facilities as “shitty,” your mockery of municipal safety regulations, and your disparagement of our liability protocol constitutes defamation (both libel and intentional infliction of reputational harm). Please be advised: public discourse does not shield unlawful conduct.

      We hereby issue you a formal CEASE AND DESIST ORDER. You are instructed to:

      Immediately retract your public statement via the same channels by which it was disseminated.

      Refrain from any further threats or inflammatory remarks targeting Irvine Company personnel, facilities, policies, or associated partners.

      Refrain from setting foot on any Irvine Company-managed property without explicit written consent. You are temporarily banned from the Deerfield Community Park pending resolution.

      Failure to comply with the above will result in the immediate filing of a civil lawsuit against you, seeking damages for:

      Defamation and reputational harm

      Emotional distress caused to staff

      Threats of physical harm

      Trespassing violations

      Let it be clearly understood: this is not a joke, and we are prepared to pursue the fullest extent of civil and injunctive relief available under California law.

      You may direct any correspondence to our retained counsel at:
      Michael D. Landon, Esq.
      Senior Counsel, The Irvine Company
      legal@irvinecompany.com

      You have seven (7) calendar days to respond before formal filings are initiated.

      Sincerely,
      Marissa Grieg
      Executive Counsel, Parks and Properties Division
      The Irvine Company
