too much work to make it happen and not enough time to make it right. You are lucky. 5 is a must 2 now though, and 7 is a must 3, but the bigger problem with 7 is that it will really only be a 3, no separation there now, in the longer placement there is separation.
Alas it is what it is!

Tom indicated to me that there are not really plans to start league much earlier than usual. So if you don't wanna come get some Karma Love on the course on Monday, and need to get your fix in disc, then head to Olathe.

General Banter / Sponsors?
« on: May 22, 2013, 10:36:03 AM »
Anyone looking to sponsor the Wide Open in some way or shape? I have a couple of folks that have given me information about sponsors for the BBQ party, what say you? You have someone lined up that would like to get their name out there to about 300 people regionally based that like to go and spread the word about things that help make disc golf events better?

We need help, volunteers, more players, you know the drill! We are less than a month away from the Wide Open, and you can help make it better. Sign up to help or play, or work on the course beforehand.
Help be a part of the longest running and biggest disc golf tournament of the year in KC!
Looking forward to good times!

I know that WW is set in the long position. I think that Dan is moving all the baskets for Blue Valley-side note, decided against #5 and #7 long, leaving them where they are.
Uncertain about Rosedale.

Cliff Drive / Re: 5/20/13 League at Cliff Drive-PDGA/East Championship Style
« on: May 21, 2013, 02:27:36 PM »Mr. "look at this tin can pile" Beckett Carduff, did an astronomical amount of work out there!
His lone work equated to what a handful of people did already... We all now Beckett is not one for personal accolades, but when you see him, shake his hand and say thanks...
Great to have him back in the Middle west!!
ps. Can't wait to see him participate against Jordan and Jake in a ROC distance contest....
Heal up Hinck!!
What he said. AS for running league, no worries, just happy to have it well attended. It is thanks enough. It has been a great league season so far, and shall continue on into the rest of the year.

General Banter / Re: Cliff Drive Work Day May 18th-NE Neighborhood Cleanup Day alignment
« on: May 21, 2013, 12:29:12 PM »
A big special THANK YOU to Beckett Carduff who came out yesterday all day and did some more major removal on the honeysuckle, and removed a ton (ok not a ton, but at least 5 trash bags worth) of old cans that had made its way down the area we are looking to reclaim.
Many of you don't remember the hole that played from where current #2 is through the woods to where #11 is basically, (we stayed on the same side of the road though) but alas that is the area that we are working on. It is going to take more and more work to make this a reality, but overall this is going to be a wonderful addition to the course, and will make this course even more desirable for many to enjoy.
I can't thank those of you continuing to work and helping in the ways that the park needs it. For all of us that take time out of our lives to make the park better I thank you. The work that we are doing not only is beneficial to our sport, but to the overall community as we work towards the elimination of areas that inappropriate activity can harbor, and spread. That work makes all of us that work to better the community a strong partner in our efforts to help build the communities that we play in better.
Without the work and the volunteers of not only club members, but casual golfers, and passer byes alike, nothing woul get done. Even as someone put it last night, "I don't make it to many of the activities, but everytime I play I pick up some trash" is all that you do, trust me you are helping the cause. If enough people see others picking up items, soon people will be picking them up more than they release them. That starts a trend, and gosh darnit, we are smart enough, pretty enough, and people like us. Let's make them love us.
I thank you for the work out there. I look forward to working with many of you more and more to build a great course in a city deserving of it.
Thank you.

Cliff Drive / No League 5/27-Go to OLATHE to play disc-come to Cliff to get Karma!
« on: May 21, 2013, 11:17:25 AM »
I will be in Iowa, and the tradition of not having league on holidays is secure with me running it. So there is not a league in the Northeast on Monday the 27th. I will probably be out there working on the course though if you want to come out and help, and will be probably easily manipulated into making you a fine feast following the work.
What I would like to accomplish is relatively simple:
Mowing-
Finish 4 fairway (15 min)
Mow 5 Fairway and Green (30-40 Min)
Mow 6 fairway (30 minutes)
Mow path between 7 & 8 by rocks (40 min)
mow/weed whack around 8 pad (15 minutes)
clear downed tree limb and area around stage mow, etc... (hour)
Looking about 3-4 hours of work, and if you can help, all you need would be a lawnmower, and some time. If enough of us come out, we could get it done in about an hour, and then maybe play disc golf...if enough, if not, then I will work on it and do what I can! :-)

Cliff Drive / Re: 5/20/13 League at Cliff Drive-PDGA/East Championship Style
« on: May 21, 2013, 08:57:18 AM »
We all mourn the loss of many in the events of the weather in Oklahoma City yesterday, and our hearts felt for those that were lost in the horrible tragedy.
We did though play on in our efforts to make the time on our wonderful planet better by competing in the likes of weather that surrounded us, yet stayed far away. The competition was a fierce one for everyone but the "Tank" that drove through all of the challenges with the exception of a lone 5 on #6.
Yes, I do realize that Detroit got another victory, and I am just as angry about that as I was my own play yesterday on the course. Speaking of on the course, Beckett Carduff took all sorts of work on the new holes that are being worked and not only was a machine all day long in regards to helping that but also then played league, and after a rough couple of holes start, finished out with a pretty darn solid round.
Next week we will not be having league at Cliff Drive, and then the following week we will be playing the East Championship Round 2 setup for the final at Cliff during Series 1 of the PDGA League, with the finals the following week (June 10) at Blue Valley. Based on the feedback so far this year, I am going to be running Series 2 of the PDGA league as well so it will continue to be a PDGA league throughout the Summer, and then I will evaluate if we want to go through the remainder of the year. My initial thought though is that we will probably only go another series of PDGA league, as that will take us through the Lion's Den and then leave us with a few weeks in September. We may alter the dates a little, or plan on ending the August 26th of the PDGA and then September will be only KCFDC league.
Enough of the blathering on though, I am sure that you are all excited to see how things finished out on the course, right? Well to put it nicely, the hottest round of the year was done out there last night, and it took the highest rated player to be out at league to have the highest rated round to date. Mr. PDGA Rating 999 helped his cause to return to the land of 1000 rated with a spectacular 1033 rated round. That was with a 5 on #6, did I mention that? I think I did, because I took the same, only my rated round was about 100 points below that.....
With a total of 17 players out, we had 11 in open, as the Masters field opted into the big boys playing arena and we had 6 out for the advanced field. Here are your totals:
OPEN
Ken-Tank-Franks-49=$14
Scott Melrose "Place"-54=$9
Sam 'Walking the dog' Webber-55=$7
Beckett-look at these cans-Carduff-56=$1.50
Matt-As far as the 'Crowe' flies-56=$1.50
Jose "gots a new job" Ossa-59
Zeke-Oh-Henry-60
Jack Lowe-60 (you know what it rhymes with)
Eric 'On a getaway' Kolkmeier-61
Ted "I am happy to help" Keith-62
Swade-Swede-whatever, at Cliff you are Matt Eklund-62
Advanced
Tony Burnett-62=$10 KcKash
Aaron Shannahan-63=$7 KcKash
Connor Callahan-64=$5 KcKash
Ryan Keck-68
Ben Crosby-68
Rob Martin-71
Here is the link to the results from the league to date.
http://www.pdga.com/tournament_results/101855/1941489576
With no ace fund hit, next league ace fund (June 3rd at Cliff Drive) will be at $348.
If you are really hurting, and need to play league next Monday, please visit the Disc Golf Course at Prairie Center Park in Olathe. You may want to check as during the holiday at times they start earlier. Otherwise until next time, pick up more trash on the park than you throw on it.
