General Banter / KCFDC apparel

« on: July 30, 2012, 02:47:57 PM »

Last month I went to the KCFDC Board Meeting and asked permission to sell KCFDC apparel; shirts, hats, and patches.  I was granted permission.  The purpose is to grow membership and club awareness/unification.  Any profits will be turned over to the club for various development activities like course upgrades etc. 

The following items are available:

Dry Fit Polo shirts with the KCFDC logo on the left chest and the www.kcfdc.org embroidered on the right sleeve.  They are $26 per shirt for sizes S - XL and $28 for 2XL, 3XL, or 4XL and they will be in either Navy (with white stitching) or Carolina Blue (with Navy Stitching).  Here are the sizes:

Men's T474
XS (32-34" chest), S (35-37" chest), M (38-40" chest), L (41-43" chest), XL (44-46" chest), 2XL (47-49" chest), 3XL (50-53" chest), 4 XL (54-57")

Ladies L474
XS (size 2, 32-34" bust), S (size 4/6, 35-36" bust), M (size 8/10, 37-38" bust), L (size 12/14, 39-41" bust), XL (size 16/18, 42-44" bust), 2XL (size 20/22, 45-47" bust), 3XL (size 24/26, 48-51" bust), 4XL (size 28/30, 52-55" bust)

There are two hats in Navy with the logo embroidered on the left front side in white to choose from.  One is the New Era -Stretch Mesh hat for $17.00.  I have seen this had being sold by some other disc golf companies in different colors and if you look around you might able to check it out.  The other hat is the Nike Golf - Dri-Fit Mesh Swoosh Flex Sandwich Cap for $20.00.   
 
For the New Era hat, NE112 sizes are S/M (6 7/8 - 7/14), M/L (7 1/8 - & 1/2), L/XL (7 3/8 - 7 3/4)
For the Nike Cap 333115 sizes are S/M (6 3/4 - 7 1/4) and L/XL (7 1/4 - 7 3/4)

I will be taking preorders through September 15. You can either PM or send me an email at eric_eastwood@yahoo.com with your order.   I will need the following information: men or ladies shirt, shirt size, shirt color, quantity, hat type, hat size.  I will be attending various leagues, East-West Ch, and various tournaments to collect money and orders.  I am hoping to get these back and distributed at the Club Championship.  Depending on interest, I will take additional orders after September 15th and at the Club Championship and distribute at 2013 Ice Bowl if not before.  I'm working on Patches too, but I'm not as far along.  I will post with these details later.

If you have any questions or if I missed something obvious, just ask or blast.  I know the KCFDC isn't shy.   

Here are example pictures.

Smithville / 1st time at Smithville

« on: July 10, 2012, 01:45:14 PM »

So some buddies and I have never played any of the three smithville courses and we decided this Saturday (July 14) we will go play all three.  Here's our schedule right now.  We will try our best to stay on this schedule. 

7:45am - 10am Beaver Creek
10:00 am - 12:30pm Black Thorn
12:30pm - 2pm Lunch (likely at Brick House Cafe & Pub or O'Rhilee's Pub & Grub)
2pm - 4:30pm Woodhenge

We're also going to a blind draw partner game for each round for $2.  Everyone plays their own game, then at the end of the round, you draw for your partner.  Lowest total score of both partners wins.  This should keep everyone engaged throughout the round.  We'll also do a bag tag challenge for the entire group.  After each round we will settle up on the doubles $ and bag tags.  In order to keep our schedule, we'll have groups with no more than 4 players on each card.  You don't have to come to all three rounds, if you want to play just one round and head off that's fine.  Let me know if we should look for you.   

By the way, I have bag tag #4.

General Banter / Raymore - Intro to Disc Golf

« on: June 22, 2012, 02:10:42 PM »

I’m running an Introduction to Disc Golf program (with Vince Como’s help) through Raymore Parks & Recreation department.  This program is not  just for kids.  I am encouraging entire families to sign up and I’ve priced it very affordable.  For $20, each player will get two discs (DX or other base plastic) and 4 sessions July 17, 19, 24, and 26 in Raymore, MO.  More details can be found in the flyer here:  http://introtodiscgolf.shutterfly.com/8

I'm not sure signups are up yet, but eventually you can signup at https://registerc.parksreconline.com/raymore103.html.   

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.  Tell your friends or family who may be interested.  Eric

General Banter / course on holmes

« on: April 24, 2012, 04:35:05 PM »

So I was taking some customers to Jack Stack in Martin City for some delicious BBQ and I noticed a basket on Holmes.  I can't remember if it was just south or just north of there, but it was on the west side of Holmes in between Red Bridge and 150 highway.  Anybody know the story on it?

Found and Lost / Lost pro destroyer at Blue Valley

« on: June 15, 2011, 09:22:54 AM »

Lost a white pro destroyer on hole #13 at Blue Valley during doubles last Friday.  Off the fairway on the right side in the tall grass.  My guess was about 5-10 feet in, but couldn't find it.
