yeah but if you show up late to a pad that close to the road you deserve a snowman not a hockey stick

Thank YOU!  THis is the reason for it being counted as a 4 in tournament play.

It was also a Star Roc from 2009 Worlds on that #11, and I only wish I had film to prove it....

Waterworks is now in its tournament positions

Hole #1 - Far Right
Hole #2 - Middle Right (Under Tree)
Hole #3 - Middle Short
Hole #4 - Peace Sign
Hole #5 - Short Left
Hole #6 - Middle (Star)
Hole #7 - Short Left
Hole #8 - Medium (1st up the hill)
Hole #9 - Middle
Hole #10 - Short Right
Hole #11 - Long Left
Hole #12 - Short  Middle (Not there yet, assuming we can fix the sleeve)
Hole #13 - Long
Hole #14 - Short Middle  (Not there yet, assuming we can fix the sleeve)
Hole #15 - Long Right
Hole #16 - Long

Cliff Drive is set up and Jack will let you know those details.  The only thing different than the current set up is Hole #1 will play to the practice basket, #17 will play to the island and #18 will play long.

On #16 he means the right placement in the center, not the placement by #14 pad.

was talking about this as well during the rain out with the PDGA's Jason Allind.  I think that it is a good way to get the information out there about delays and times.  Phones are generally off, so you still need to horn people for getting them off the course, but the notification about when it may resume can be used for this method as well.  I did the best I could with Faceblock and the PDGA and KCFDC sites to get the information out once it was looking like a timeline, but having it sent to phones/e-mails was something that I thought made sense and should be relatively easy to complete.


Thanks Kevin for taking this, and Eric thanks for posting it and reminding me about my thoughts.  My brain has been a little distracted this week from the events.

Sadly as I read, and I have been guilty as well, I don't often think about my own signature line in the my e-mails.  It does though bear notion that at times we must:

"Do not listen to those who weep and
complain, for their disease is contagious."

I was in so much pain it wasn't even funny.  But the photo, yep, that is me for certain.  As for glover having a shot of me after drinking on a disc golf course.....what are the odds of that happening?

Then as though the gods stroke down, the dumbest hole in the universe (hole#16 for those of you not in the know)

completely in jest there, that hole is easily one of the favorites on the course.  Unfortunately in my revision of the course it will play differently in the new configuration more than likely.  Saddens me so to let it go, but progress we shall and see a new throw.

Cliff Drive-Home of the Mighty Mo this upcoming weekend had a league night with a host of talent from all over the world.  On this wonderful night at the course, with it looking in spectacular during this league night, a wonderful group of individuals gathered for a night of golf.  With only 1 person at the basket at 5:50pm......league looked to be lost, but alas arriving promptly to ensure that no one was left behind on the night, Jack arrives in quick fashion to find Derek putting on 18.  Off he goes to grab another player from Australia no less to join to ensure league success happens.  Upon getting Rhys for league, and pulling up, getting out of the car, but what approached, but a tiny white car with plates of wheat, no not under duress, but rather Peter Buress had come to join in this game as well.

Off they went throwing into the trees, and clamoring so but after nine it oh so close, then a quick strike of 2 ob's on 12 and 13, Peter looked strong to make the lead.  Then as though the gods stroke down, the dumbest hole in the universe (hole#16 for those of you not in the know) found a way to eat that disc and allow a 5 to subside, not to be left in the cold, hole #17 showed it could play to as a 6 was to be found on little peter's shoe.

All along the top of the hill, Peter threw and threw again, but still couldn't get to the tree, he took a 3 and as it was, the night was push, and the league was squashed.

Peter-61
Jack-61
Rhys-62
Derek-63

Baskets moved to Mighty Mo position.

General Banter / Re: New Course Potential in Prairie Village

How Awesome, a huge thank you to Mike Petin and Ben Crosby!  They managed to get courses ready for the KCWO, run the course and get Prairie Village approval all in the same week. 

Last night the Prairie Village City Council approved funding for a nine hole course in Harmon Park to be installed in 2014.  Thank you Mike Petrin and PV Parks and Rec.

That is some good stuff right there.  Your BoD hard at work making events happen and places to play for you all!

I can let you know about the reason for leaving the park unattended is that it wasn't safe, 911 was called, and we worked towards notifying players as best we could of the cancellation of the event from a live power wire downed.

Water and electricity don't mix, as such I personally wouldn't want (didn't want) anyone out and around the area.  the notion of staying up around the downed power wire until someone came out wasn't an option in my mind.

I knew that 911 had been called.  Upon allowing a few hours to pass, I asked it to be looked at again, found that it was still "down" called BPU and left messages alerting them to the danger of it.

My statements are all that we can do in an environment where we are not the professionals that handle the situations, nor should we send anyone in harms way to mark a safe zone without permission or expertise in that field to ensure their safety.  I am uncertain if the electrical current in the wet grass would have harmed anyone, so chose not to take a chance, but leave that information in the hands of the resources we could identify.

This is a horrible loss, and tragic tale of a loss that could of been prevented in my opinion, and I am having a hard time with not second guessing myself in this as well.  Uncertain what else I could have done at the time, I can only think of things that I might have done knowing this horrible outcome could happen.  Sad, and hurt over it all.

Noted: jack knew the threat and delayed the call. Got it.

Perfect in your mind now, we all agree on that as well!

Thanks Tall Guy!
