General Banter / Re: Fox Hill-NKC WORK DAY!!!!

« on: May 08, 2012, 08:47:04 AM »

more than likely on Sunday.  We need to go through each hole and  raise the ceilings so it is helpful to have two people when using the pole saw, that way one person can run it and the other can point to what needs to be taken out.  With two folks you do not have to run back and forth over and over trying to be careful not to cut out the wrong things.

We might also be getting close to putting in tee signs as well.  Bill will be working on Sat filling in the tee boxes that we built last weekend with the dingo.  We are getting really close to having it playable.  We are hoping to have it playable by the last week in May.

Thanks to Ted Keith and Mark Alfrey for coming out and working.  We worked through the rain and eventually it let up.  We are only three pads away from finishing, 20+ pads.  We will be out working every weekend to get it ready to open.  Still plenty left to do.  I am going to send Teddy a map because he was interested in doing minor/lighter work by himself that disc golfers know to look for.

If we missed you this weekend northlanders, hope to see you out soon at the next work day.

General Banter / Air Conditioning Freon Recharging Heads Up-Costs are tripling

« on: May 05, 2012, 07:35:20 PM »

So this is a heads up for those of you that have AC units with leaks.  My cousin is in Heating and Air and came over to recharge my house  AC.  Freon recently doubled in price and will triple in price in a few weeks.  So if you have an older unit, now might be the time to get it recharged before it costs you more.  Supposedly the EPA is trying to get Americans to switch over to newer units that use a different type of freon.  This freon can't be used in older units so millions of folks will have to face the unexpected higher costs of freon or paying thousands for a new unit, lines, a coil etc. 

When  he told me the cost for the freon (his costs) i was shocked.  So i hope this saves a couple of you all some dineros if you were planning on recharging your AC units.

Some Westsiders Rosie regulars(Keck and Valdivies) decided to  get out to the east side and join us.  Great night for disc golf with warm weather and an usually wind from the north at times giving many players the option to go closer the pond on hole 7.  A couple ties occurred and some split the money while the  masters played off for it and Dan Coffman won.

Ozanam.  I believe Dan Cashen was instrumental on the installation.  Did a clinic with him a couple years ago.  It was  a great deal of fun and the kids bought in.

Young Park - Blue Springs / 4-18-78 League

« on: April 19, 2012, 12:35:38 PM »

14 players out for league with great weather and  minimal wind.  We had a first timer, Tony Burnett come out to league and shoot pretty well.  After the round, Jake Daddy/Riley (Tony Hawk, Tony Montanna ) went into the pond and pulled out several discs and returned them to the owners.  Slim won the ctp on hole 3 being about 5 feet away. 

Ossa and Theiss tied and went to a 3 hole playoff with Jose taking it on Short Tee 9 to Basket 11 on mound.   Nice to see ole Teddy Keith out.  Josa mentioned that he hit several 40+ jump putts and has spent the last couple weeks practicing hard for KCWO.

General Banter / Fox Hill Elementary Course-NKC WORK DAY!!!!

« on: April 16, 2012, 01:25:07 PM »

Fox Hill Elementary disc golf course will be having a work day this Saturday, April 21st from  9am -?.  The course planned to open in May, with the offical ribbon cutting in August or September.  We have accomplished so much with such a limited budget.  This is an 18 hole juniors wood course,   multiple tee pads for every hole, providing 16 red level design rated holes for more advanced players.  The longer tees range from hairy/technical 190ft to  a couple more open 300ft with most holes averaging 230.  The longer tee pads will be challenging pads for even advanced players on 70% of them.   

This weekend we have an Eagle scout project lined up to build 9 tee pads.  If we can get extra help, we can knock out more tee pads while the proper machinery is on site.  In addition to tee pad work, we have some holes that need more clearing and cutting.  There is plenty of work to be done so bring out whatever tools you own.

Young Park - Blue Springs / League 4-4- 2012

« on: April 05, 2012, 12:12:35 PM »

Rain, rain, stay away!  We were able to get the entire round in with no rain or lightning issues.   Some ominous clouds to the North last night.  Wind was minimal which is usually is at Young.

Eleven players out for league.  Dan Coffman won the Masters and his protege Brandon, took Open.  Brandon and myself were tied after 18  we played hole 11 and tied and then played safari due to low light.  Played short pad 1 to 11's basket on the mound.  I was pin high and missed a shorty while Brandon was 30+ short.   We both missed and i had a long role out.  Brandon hit the come backer for the win about 30+ out.  Timko put a nice string of bridie runs together (5)  but had a couple typical "YP -you got served" holes that kept him out.  Paul and Tommy V cash again.
