WW was spared from the rain last week, lets see if we can get a little love at P Hill tonight. 6pm tee off. Free to play and a CTP after the round.

Awesome!  I wish it was closer for me, this sounds like a good time!  Thanks Aaron!

Each of the courses hold's their own Ace Fund.  (EXCEPTION-I keep Cliff Drive ace fund with Blue Valley's Ace Fund when we play there)

If you are not a club member, you must pay an extra $1 to be in the ace fund.

All aces hit during league will be 50% of the ace pot.  In the event that 2 aces are hit, then yes the pot would evaporate 75% (50% of the pot gone first ace, then 50% of remaining pot=75%)  THey are split evenly though so the first ace hit wouldn't get more.

We apply an additional year of club dues from the ace fund.  Even if you are paid up through years in advance.  (Beckett left here in 2007, and was a member until 2011, then moved back this past year, and had to pay to join the club for the first time in many years)  So you can add on to your years of expiration.

The additional $1 from non-members was initially brought up because I was irritated that Eric McCabe came to town and hit our WW Ace fund (which was at like $1800 or $2400....) anyway, I was irritated that an out of towner non-member could take the ace fund.  (I like Eric, so this wasn't about him...no scratch that, MOther F'r beating me at the Ice Bowl, the nerve of some world Champ taking my glory!  )  This led to much talk on the EC at the time and this was the plan that we got into play.

You can't transfer the "club dues" to another, so yeah we have had a couple of touring pros become members in June as they visit play league, hit an ace, and wham they are a member for the year.

This seemed to be the best scenario at the time and allows us to gain extra income from non-members of the club as well.

Now by being a club member, you get a $1 discount at leagues, which essentially the club is buying your ace fund money every week you play.

hmmmmm coincidence that the BlackHawks tore up a dead tire last night and your "sudden OT", as the hockey team won't see any OT cuz they are already working on getting their shafts shiny......for the little white ball that many of the high priced LOSERS will be playing starting next week.....

I find it odd this OT you speak of currently.

Suffice it to say though your hours of service this year have been met on the course, and as such your time away for "whatever lie I am able to make up so I don't have to listen to Jack tell me how bad Detroit is at hockey" is approved.

Not playing....Don't really care but....
Scott do what you want.  I would listen to Dick as it is his courses that he designed.  I would hold it in higher regard than anyone else's comment, and I would still do what I (You as the TD) wanted to do.

It is an event that the TD decides how to play it, and shouldn't be based on fodder in a forum.

All things being equal, thank your lucky stars that Scott has elected to allow you to enjoy playing golf on a course that was designed by Dick in a mannerism of a competitive nature.

You go where he says, and you throw plastic where Dick said.

Jack, do you think painting the posts at Cliff helped the mowers avoid them?

It doesn't hurt, but ultimately its the indian not the arrow....

Well 'Duh, of course I did.   

No, seriously if you look at WW, you will realize that there aren't metal poles all over, and in most other courses there are.  I know that we have them at Swope, Blue Valley, Cliff Drive, Blue Valley Short, Olathe, WyCo, Rosedale up top.  I don't know if we are going to have them at Hidden Valley or not.

It's not really something that you think a lot about when you are playing, but when you are moving them you do.  This makes the baskets a little easier to move on the Cashen sleeve, and they are much much harder to steal.  Though if you want it bad enough they will take it.

WW doesn't have Cashen sleeves, so UTZ is too young ton understand the difference.  The next time he plays a course other than WW in most of the Kansas City courses, the light bulb will go off, and he will realize it.

 

WW uses the standard DGA locking mechanics of locking at the base of the basket.  These are relatively easy to break/steal.  The cashen sleeve is a pole that is harder to penetrate for theft.

So to replace WyCo we need to actually have pipes made to fit the poles, and then planted.

Legacy Park - Lee's Summit / Re: Grass Problem

« on: May 15, 2013, 01:12:58 PM »

I'm glad there's a positive resolution to this. Citizens of Lee's Summit and disc golfers must voice their opinion to the parks and rec to let them know that we want this course to stay, and mowing is a necessity for that. We dont want to see another course get pulled!

Not cry the sky is falling here, but I don't think that this has ever been the case.  Lees Summit P&R first talked about a course I think back in 1997, had a lot of steam in 1999, then got it going again in 2002, then ran into some issues with the Feds about the land.  Then got it back on track in 2005, but failed to get the neighborhood association on board, and then finally decided on Legacy.  They like the course, and I don't feel that it is a threat to vanish.

They also admire the "rough" and feel that is part of the course, and I don't envision them eliminating that for some time.

I was told that the rough gets mowed 2-3x/yr though, and that it will be mowed within the next few weeks.
