Blue Valley / Blue Valley League Night-5/6/13

« on: May 06, 2013, 09:35:27 AM »

Well, I am uncertain if I can get there by 5:30 to play on the Big course, and get everyone going.  I should be there close to it though, and if we can get 3-somes going by 5:30, we should have enough time to play the big course.  I can play it generally in 2 1/2 hours if I don't doddle.  So if someone wants to step up and take names and $$$ until I get there, I think that the big course is on tonight boys.  If no one responds, then it will be "inner course" for all.

suffering a 1st degree tear in my calf and trying to play the second round did us no service at all.  i tried to play well, but injured as I was who knows...

I just admired the trophy on Friday night as a matter of fact.  Talk is cheap, and the win is the win, what if/could of's, should of's, if only....

Bring it on to the house of the best folks.  East Side.  I should know by this week if we are going to be playing a "new" tract at cliff, or if it will be delayed until later (I am guessing that is the case...)

We do engrave all the KCMO baskets I will not share where it is, but suffice it to say, it is simple enough to do prior to installation of the baskets.  We started doing this I think in 2004 or so with Cliff Drive.

Still looking forward to this workday.  I will really need more working hands than anything else.  I have some new tools that will help with the modification of the areas that I am looking to develop.  But as we are getting closer to the Wide Open, please be sure to look for more information about the courses being used for that event.

Otherwise, bring some course Karma your way and come help with some cleanups!

I have in the past received calls from people about baskets in the yard, in fact one of the Olathe baskets was recovered that way.  I went to the house with the police in hand, no one answered, took the basket, and called it a day.  I am uncertain what transpired afterwards, the police were going to follow up with the people at the house.

So if you do see a basket in a yard that "doesn't seem right" (ignore my yard with 4 baskets in it) or is all of sudden "new" call someone on the board to have them investigate it.  People do buy baskets as well out there that aren't stolen, but our baskets for the most part are pretty easy to identify in town, so asking us to investigate is better than trying to take matters into your own hands.

Lets see.....hardhat tour with happy hour at the museum and Tracy Morgan to laugh at, or playing in the rain possibly snow on the hills of WW.  Well now I think that I know the correct answer is to play on the hills in this forum, but I am going to take what is behind door # in the buildings Greg instead.

so how was this one removed, was it a lock picking again?  If so, there is cause for concern amongst all the courses.  The basket at Cliff stolen last year didn't leave any remnants of the lock.....but if we count that in the last 12 months I can think of 4 baskets taken from the area.

The thing is that you need to have space, and disc golfers tend to find each other.  If you went to a place that was "private" for a course that had 18 different types of baskets from someone that you had never seen play, what would you think?

If it was someone that was good that we saw win baskets, maybe....but the reality is that unless this person (if the same) is planning a course to be kept to themselves or a few other friends, they will be caught.

If it is simply an action of people getting a basket for their own pleasure, that is a whole other story.....

I highly recommend Jefferson barracks!  If you have time drop down and play crystal city underground.

JB!

Third time is a charm.  Sioux is long, I haven't played the caves yet....Come to think of it, I haven't been to St. Louis in a few years now to play.....hmmm....some good courses, and good people!

Also FYI on this change in divisions.....

After a lot of thought, Joe and I decided to have the C pool only play 3 rounds this year. The past couple years it has taken too long for that pool to get in Pickard and Ewing (GV this year) and then have to come all the way out north to Walnut for awards and the finals. It's just too much driving to ask that many players to do. So for the C pool this year, we're going to Challenge you this year at Big Creek a little bit more! You had to play the short pads out there the last several years, not this year.

So, to summarize, the C pool will play 2 rounds Saturday - Big Creek long tee pads, Walnut Ridge short pads, and then Sunday one round from the longs at Grandview. This will allow plenty of time for those folks to get out to Walnut and enjoy some of the pros final round and the finals. If it really upsets you that you won't get to play Pickard this year - play advanced. It's that simple. Please note also, that we will put the Advanced Women in the B pool this year so there's that option for the girls as well.

The C-Pool is the following divisions - Intermediate, Advanced Grandmaster, Intermediate Women. If you signed up for the Intermediate division and want to change to advanced due to this, let me know. No big deal at all.

The website will be updated with this information this week!

Alright people,

Its time to bring everyone up to speed on some great things going on with this year's challenge. Sponsorship is going well:

1. Welcome back G&L Clothing as our title sponsor once again!
2. Felix & Oscars is back with generous support and hosting the players party with great food and good times.
3. Pro-Flight Discs has increased its contribution in both cash and prizes in addition to hosting Dubs By The Lake and the priceless efforts Shane contributes to the club and the event.
4. Area Wal-Mart stores have combined once again for a generous cash contribution.
5. Commonwealth Electric has also provided a cash sponsorship again.
6. Welcome back to the Challenge our Trophy sponsor First Class Credit Union.
7. Welcome A to Z Bail Bonds as our Final Nine Skins Match sponsor. This year's skins will have a $1000 payout!!
8. At this point we are up to roughly $600 in hole sponsorships.
9. There are many other sponsors contributing to the player packs and refreshments.

TOTAL: $6,000 + ADDED CASH to the event not including $1,000 for Skins. Add it all together and we are looking at an event with $10,000 in additional cash and prizes.

I hope that alleviates any hesitation you have to register and come out again this year.

Other incentives:
1. Big shout out to Dave and all of the volunteers who have been working hard to keep the courses clean and recover from the winter storm damages. Thank You all!
2. G&L is putting together some more killer prize packages to be given away again this year.
3. One lucky winner will take home a brand new Discraft Chainstar basket from the player's party.
4. If history holds true, we will get to see some of the world's top players enjoy our courses side by side with some of our favorite local pros.
5. With the extra money and some exciting stories that have taken place over the last couple years, the Skins Finale is shaping up to be our best yet.

Don't forget the deal rate at Econo Lodge on Merle Hay Road as posted on the Challenge web site. The price is good and the location is good as well.

This will be one to remember for sure. See you all there!

P.S. Any of you that have offered to sponsor a hole or still wish to do so, will need to get the payment and logo (if applicable) to myself or Jay Greenwood by May 10th. The person making the signs is limited on time and I want him to have plenty of notice. Sponsorships can be accepted after that but cannot be guaranteed sign completion.
