General Banter / Cliff Drive Work Day May 18th-NE Neighborhood Cleanup Day alignment

« on: April 10, 2013, 09:45:19 AM »

Some of you may remember a time long ago when when had the Great American Cleanup, and it always coincided with the Cliff Drive workdays to build a better course.  There used to not be a hole #3-#8......these workdays helped over the years to fuel that additional playing ability within the park. Planning on like 8-1.

Though the GAC is no longer part of the plan, the following events:

https://www.facebook.com/events/105618366304425/

Will help to make this a better place for all of us to enjoy.

With the Northeast Neighborhood cleanup this day, it is a great day to show the rest of the community how strong we are. This day we would like to remove trash, and honeysuckle primarily along the new hole area. We would ask that you bring gloves, rakes, and if you have them chainsaws. Food and drink will be provided, we will probably go from 8-1pm, and then possibly play some golf as well!

I would say that we really need extra hands to help as we clear out items, and trash is going to be high on the priority for the first 50' of the clearing.  As we chop out the honeysuckle, the trash is there.  Rakes, and shovels will be helpful in this respect.  But extra hands are always needed. 

This is a chance to really show the community how we can come together and help.  I know that this course won't be used for the Wide Open, but this course can be used for the continued improvements on how we as a club, and you as members make a difference within the community.  This is only done through the actions you bring forward.  Please plan on helping out for a few hours, even if only an hour, and lets make a strong showing at how we are a force to be reckoned with.

Thanks,

Jack

General Banter / Cliff Drive League 4/8/13 Cancelled

« on: April 08, 2013, 08:46:25 AM »

Too much Rain on the course last night.  Not sending people out to tear it up.  You may go to Birdland and tear up the mud pads they have if you are so inclined to want to play in the mud.  Should be back on track next week.

Open-
Matt Perry-54=$12
Matt Crowe-58=$5
Jordan Hinck-58=$5
Joe Hesting-58=$5 (I owe you)
Jose Ossa-59=Many missed putts.....too many, it was a tough night to watch...
Adam Cossette-60=Jack, just because I didn't cash, I mean really, still give me credit for being there...
Scott Melrose-61=My shoes are light, it's ok!
Lee Killian-63=IDK, he was gone so fast it was crazy
Loomis-66=Well, at least I didn't get beat by Jack tonight, geesh...

Masters
Danger-55=$8
G$-64=$4 (I will spend it for you and the skins money I didn't give you nicely somewhere else now!)
Jack Lowe-67=YEOUCH, I had so many 5's I thought that I was at the massage parlor with all those hand jobs...
Ted Keith-68=One of these days I am going to figure out where everything is on this course...

Advanced
Andy Portwood-67=$7
Rob Martin-71=$4
Ryan Westa-75=Wow, I really threw a lot more than you guys.  In fact, I made better use of my money because I threw it more than anyone else.  Did I mention that I learned the rule that I can rethrow from anywhere and only have to add a stroke to my score.  This will clearly allow me the chance to throw more often than you in the future as well.

I would like to thank everyone that showed up.  Next week we will be back at Cliff Drive.  I'd like to be teeing off no later than 5:45, and will attempt to be there by 5 again.  We did good last night, with the last group being a 5-some that tees off at 5:30, as we finished in twilight, no lights were needed.

Rosedale / Rosedale Wide Open 2013

« on: March 27, 2013, 12:57:29 PM »

This is the configuration that we will be using for the Wide Open.  We will be needing to have help cleaning everything up.  The course shouldn't be set in tournament configuration until probably after Memorial day weekend, as we want the placements to look fresh and the mulch and everything else at the pins to spotlight the work that we do.  Please plan accordingly to make this the prettiest course it can be for our guests.  I am certain that workdays will evolve soon from this.

1-Long left Trees
2-Short Right
3-Long
4-Through gap to Right
5-Long Right
6-Far Right Flat
7-Long
8-Island Short
9-Long right by stairs before the stairs
10-Original
11-Long right by #12 tee
12-Long
13-Hill Top Center Circle Drive
14-Stairs
15-Middle just behind Tree on right
16-Box
17-Middle placement Not super long, but before it
18- Long Practice Basket past tennis courts

Other things that will be needing to take notice, are their flags, and the stanchions in good shape, or need repair?  Are the baskets level and in good shape?  I know that we want to work on #1 pad other pads that are worn?

I just got the reminder today in my INBox, and wanted to remind everyone that is thinking about joining or renewing to do so through the club.

Rick has offered to tackle this responsibility!  Thanks Rick!!

The PDGA will be releasing its annual renewal letter soon. You don't have to wait to see it to pay your 2013 dues through the Affiliated Club Program, or in this case, the KCFDC. If you are planning to join or re-join the PDGA for 2013, please pay through the KCFDC, which keeps $5 for each member signed up.

Here's a link to the form that you must fill: http://kcfdc.org/docs/13MemberMerchForm-AC.pdf

You can pay your dues at Disc Golf World, 509 E 18th St, KCMO 64108. Am dues are $50 and pros pay $75. Checks should be written to the KCFDC. If using a bankcard, a $2 or $3 surcharge will apply. You can avoid the surcharge by paying with check or cash. Call me with any questions.

General Banter / Holiday Disc Golf Outing @ Tower Tavern on Saturday night (December 8th) 4pm-???

« on: December 06, 2012, 01:37:29 PM »

I just dropped off the Tic-Tac-THROW baskets to Hal Baby to take on Saturday night for the disc golf seasonal get together, starting after Down Under League at 4, who is going, and what can we gamble on while we are there?  Sounds like we can continue with the K-Mont B-Day and Grandpa Swede (turned 101 today, good for him!) celebration day.....What say you, and how you will handle the WarmUP for a variety of Saturday evening activities?
