Tournaments / Swope Spring Renewal Pairs Championships - April 23

« on: March 31, 2011, 04:15:23 PM »

We've tweaked the divisions just a little bit again this year. However, the only age based division remains the 100-Year Division, where the sum of the partner's age at tee off must be at least 100 years. We have added a women's division and a parent-child division (with no age restrictions).

A registration form can be downloaded here: http://icebowlhq.com/docs/ssr11.pdf.

The contents of the flyer are below, followed by the results from the last year's SSR. Hope to see everyone back again for this fun event.

Tournaments / Huckin Against Hunger Tournament in Columbia, 12-4-on Ball Golf Course

« on: November 23, 2010, 10:28:33 AM »

Mark Ehlert from the Columbia Disc Golf Club asked me to let people know about this event:

Please pass the word in KC about our Huckin' Against Hunger event in Columbia. We have made arrangements with Columbia Country Club (off old Highway 63, between Business Loop and Broadway) to play 18 holes on their ball golf course. We get to have registration starting at 10 in a nice heated club house with TVs and a cash bar and the course is fun to play. We'll do a shotgun start as close to noon as possible.

Registration is $50 and cart rental is an additional $10 per player. The registration covers the fee we pay to CCC and all proceeds above that fee goes to the local food bank. Players play for donated prizes and the chance to play on a ball golfl course. We raised over $800 for the food bank last year and hope to top $1000 this year.

Thanks for helping to spread the word. If you know of a group planning to come and play, please have them get in touch with Tony Hulen, tonydesignsolutions@gmail.com so he has an idea of how many players may show up.

Tournaments / 14th Annual Rosedale Amateur Championships - September 19, 2010

« on: August 24, 2010, 03:53:53 PM »

I'm trying something a little different this year with the RAC. We've beefed up the player's package so that its value is slightly more than the entry fee and will be awarding trophies only as prizes, at least for those who pay the base entry fee of $27.

For those who prefer to go for more winnings, we're offering an optional $10 prize pool entry, that will be paid out in prizes. All players who opt to play for the prizes will be in the same pool, regardless of which division they are in.

If you have any questions after reading the flyer, please let me know.

Found and Lost / Lost and Found at Disc Golf World

« on: July 27, 2010, 12:35:18 PM »

Below is a list of discs that have been returned to DGW in the last several months. We have now called the numbers on all the discs for a second time. Our new policy on returning found discs is that we will hold them for 30 days before they get moved into for sale box. The proceeds of these discs will be used to enhance the 2011 Wide Open.

Here's how we envision how this system works.

1. Return found discs with contact information to DGW.
2. DGW will immediately contact the disc's owner, letting them know that we'll hold it for 30 days.
3. We will enter this information in a spreadsheet.
4. About once a week or so, we'll list the found discs in this thread.
5. If the disc has not been claimed in 3 weeks, we'll attempt to contact the owner again.
6. At 30 days, the disc will be put on sale. Of course, if the owner shows up after that and the disc is still here, they can recover it..

As a point of information, several people do make contact with the found disc's owner, telling them that they intend to bring the disc to DGW. Sometimes they do not do this right away. Thus, until you hear from us, it's likely that your disc has not been returned to us yet.

We thank everyone who attempts to get discs back to their owners. Just remember that the good karma you're earning sometimes takes a while to come around. One of the strengths of our disc golf community is that we have way more people of good will, who try to do the right thing, than mean-spirited people.

Found and Lost / Found Discs Will Be Offered For Sale at DGW Starting June 1

« on: May 26, 2010, 11:25:58 AM »

As many of you know, Disc Golf World has encouraged people to return lost discs to us to facilitate their return. When we get a found disc, we immediately call or email the owner. Sometimes, we make a second call. Although many discs have been reunited with their owners, we are now sitting on nearly 200 discs that have not been claimed in at least six months. We need to get rid of them.

Starting June 1, we are going to offer these discs for sale with the proceeds going towards the Kansas City Wide Open. We will be open this weekend and encourage you to stop by if you remember us calling you about a disc a long time ago, and you never came for it. Of course, if you find your disc in the for-sale boxes after the sale begins, you may claim it. We have a separate stack of about 40 discs that we have called recently. (Within 6 months.)

Moving forward, we're going to start marking on the found discs the day we make the call to its owner, and will hold those discs for 60 days. After that time, they will become for-sale discs.

I know a lot of people contact the found disc's owner and tell them that they will take it to Disc Golf World. While you're always welcome to come to the store, unless you get a call from Disc Golf World, the disc probably hasn't been delivered to us yet. We strive to contact disc owners as soon as they are returned to us.

Thanks to everyone who keep the community spirit alive by trying to get discs back to their owners.

Tournaments / 28th Annual Wide Open - Countdown to 30

« on: January 12, 2010, 02:10:50 PM »

The 28th Annual Kansas City Wide Open is scheduled as a PDGA B-Tier for June 19-20. Registration information will be forthcoming in the next couple of weeks. This Wide Open is being co-produced this year by Disc Golf World (Rick Rothstein) of Kansas City and Dynamic Discs (Jeremy Rusco) of Emporia, KS.

Jeremy and I will be making some decisions soon about formats, but wanted to use this forum to get some feedback from people who play PDGA events. We're pretty locked in that everyone will play 4 18-hole rounds, but we're not certain about how many courses each division should play.

Which of the scenarios to you prefer and why?

1. To play 4 courses. One round on each course.

2. To play 2 courses: Two rounds on each course.

3. To play 3 courses. Two rounds on one course and one round on each of the other two courses.

An argument for playing a course a second time is that it gives the player another shot at the course. This could be making amends after a less-than-stellar first round. Or it could be showing one's mastery by shredding the courses a second time. For travelers new to KC, trying to practice fewer courses takes less time.

An argument for more courses is variety. KC is famous for its courses, so it's a good thing to let people sample more tracks.

Anyway, any and all feedback is appreciated.

Also, if you are interested in volunteering for the Wide Open, let me know.

Thanks for the input.

Tournaments / Rosedale Amateur Championships Is Saturday, October 3 - NOT A PDGA EVENT

« on: September 14, 2009, 08:00:27 PM »

I'm pleased to announce the 13th Rosedale Amateur Championships. Through the years, many players have been introduced to competitive disc golf at this event and have gone on to play many more events, and in some cases, have become disc golf community activists as well. So, once again, we'll take a bit of time before we begin to review the rules and perhaps, provide a tidbit or two of other relevant knowledge that might make you a better golfer. We shooting for a full field of 72 golfers. See you there.
