General Banter / Re: Rosedale Workday Saturday the 17th at 8:30am

A million thanks to all who made it out today. We'll get it posted but I think about 15 made it out all come to work.
Again, thanks to everyone for making KC golf the best around.
BTW, if anyone ended up w/ an extra Craftsman shovel, it's mine.

I'll be there and bringing some help! If you play Down Under league and can get away, come out and help. We can get this done in an hour and half - two hours. Congratulate ourselves for a job well done, get some lunch (on the club), and then play our favorite league at 12:30.

Water Works / Water Works Trash and Baskets
« on: January 12, 2015, 01:17:25 pm »
Thanks to Mark Mills, Kujo, Jamie Barry, Mike Fenton, Danny Rodriguez, and Ryan Keck for their help with WW this weekend and today. Mark and Kujo are moving some baskets today and all the trash cans have been emptied and bags carried to the street.
If you are out there playing, any help is appreciated and if you pack it out, pack it in. Also, we carried a lot of bottles out yesterday. Please no bottles, or take em with you.
Pete Cashen is working on signage, and we will spread the word.

Tournaments / Re: East Vs. West 2015
« on: December 24, 2014, 12:09:03 am »Thanks Tracy. It'll be good for new members to get an idea of what this event is.
IMO, a good team captain can create match ups so that even a good casual player can help his/her team.
Why would a casual golfer be playing in it? Other than qualifying at an event or being picked by a captain to help the team win?
Because there are not 32 professional disc golfers in Kansas City. There are some good casual players in the mix as well. Maybe I am wrong, but I can only think of a few pro's in town.
My other point was a good captain recognizes opportunities and threats by knowing the players. Who can do that for the East? Meanwhile, Joe has shown us he is the best pick for the West.

General Banter / Re: Charitable Giving as a part of events
« on: December 23, 2014, 02:49:05 pm »
I'm gonna be crazy and address the original topic
I get the feeling that those of us who give on an annual basis already have the charities we want to support. I like to see my dollar go as far as possible and am quite picky about to whom I donate. Having said that, the KCFDC does state in its mission that it supports charity events such as Ice Bowl. It also states the desire for competition. For example, FLHW is great event, but I never went into it thinking about winning. I was there to play and give money to a cause.
Our mission:
To provide an exceptional disc golf experience in Kansas City while focusing on competition, conservation, education, partnerships, and philanthropy. We strive to make disc golf attractive to all local players, help our parks, and entice others to visit!
The KCFDC does this via:
Volunteers
Partnerships with Our Neighborhood Associations
Sponsoring Disc Golf Events
Course Maintenance
Relationships with City and County governments
Charity donations

So who's running this now? Not team captains, but the big picture. Serious question. Tracy? I'd love to see juniors and women added to the format. Great suggestion Joe! 20 player teams. I think this town can support that.
One bit of advice, don't follow the other guy's lead. Your strategy is up to you East Side.
Opinion, the year I played in this event I qualified at a club league. Not a sanctioned event. I had no chance last year as I didn't want to or couldn't play in the qualifiers. There's a lot to be said for having so many leagues at so many great courses.
I love the random draw match play format too! It adds just enough randomness in the context of the event format. This will bring the wild card players. Very nice addition there.

Winter Leagues / Remaining Glow Dates
« on: November 28, 2014, 07:01:21 pm »
We are looking for someone to run the remaining KCFDC glow dates;
DEC 20 Rosedale
JAN 24 Swope
FEB 21 Liberty
MAR 21 SMP
Ben Crosby has other responsibilities to take care of and we'd appreciate anyone who would like to help. I am unable to, otherwise, I would.
This would mean coordinating the set up and return of all the chains and lights. I am guessing a three to six man team can get this fairly quickly if planned in advance. We will provide a payout sheet and all that jazz. Interested in helping out? Contact me or just respond here.
I am planning on running a couple of glow leagues soon; one at Old Pike and the other at WW. Details to follow.

The other big issue from the KCFDC view is we already have excellent partnerships with disc retailers here in KC. I didn't make a lot of sense with all the other ways to go out and buy discs in KC. But hey, if the membership wants to explore it again, then a volunteer should take a look at the ups/downs/strengths, and so on of it.
One other thing, in KCMO the KCFDC pays a percentage of "in park" income to the city of KCMO per our agreement with P&R.
