Tournaments / Re: 2013 Kansas City Team Challenge

« on: May 19, 2013, 10:04:35 PM »

Thanks to some extra team effort from Das Loomis, I've been able to secure our second female:

This is Team West's final roster:

Minna Dennis
Kaylee Kincaid
Cooper Arnold
Frank Weaver
Arturo Villarreal
Sam Webber
Das Loomis
Joe Hesting
Ken "Tank" Franks
Nick Parks
Marc Wisbey
Bobby Villarreal
Tracy Walker
Dick Parker
Shanan Carson
Nick Winkelbauer

Alternates:
Bryan Guthrie
Pete Cashen
Peter Bures
Jeff Campbell

Looks like a very strong team for the most part.

Go Westsiders! Please don't embarrass yourselves and our great State again this year. 

When I saw the results last year it somehow made me feel like I'd just watched the "squeal like a pig" scene in Deliverance.

Just did a drive by and didn't see any form work from the road. They have dumped and leveled out some crushed rock in preparation for the tees though, and with the drying conditions hopefully will commence soon.

League is at Prairie Center every Monday in May. Sign up by 5:45 for a 6:00 tee.

We will return to Birdland in June.

I don't think so yet.... I'll do a recon Sunday sometime and post. I do know some crushed rock has been placed on some of the tee areas.

Hey Tom, I have class on Monday nights off and on (which is why I wasn't at PC tonight).  Is there a way to pick up my winnings (from the night of April 29th) throughout the week or how is it best to collect?  Just wondering, thanks.
Perry Martin

Perry, pm sent.

There's also something to be said about being over confident.  The West Rocky Balboa came in last year as the hands-down favorite to win.  It was predicted to be a massacre.  The East Mr. T (Clubber Land) prepared well for the event and wanted the win more than the West Rocky.  We Mr. T knew itwas going to take our best effort to earn the win.  The West Rocky made the mistake of thinking they won before the event even started. 

Now let's see if the West can do to the East what Rocky did to Clubber Lang in the rematch...... 

I just wish I was a good enough player to get in this game. If I lived on the East side I would take Jack's place.

General Banter / Re: stolen basket

« on: May 04, 2013, 08:38:59 AM »

All baskets at Lakeside Hills and at Prairie Center have locks. Although the lock at Lakeside Hills are pretty heavy duty, all locks really do is keep honest people honest. They really are not much of a deterrent to an individual(s) that is determined to steal. 

I would propose that when the thieves are caught, their names are made known to the KCFDC membership, and they are banned from any KCFDC league or event for life. I believe the PDGA disciplinary folks could be persuaded to also ban them from participating in any PDGA events for a period of time as well. I doubt the low- lifes that stole our basket(s) care about any of this, but maybe?

I hope the captains can each post their team members list a few day before the event. It will be interesting to look at the match-ups in advance.

I set the practice basket myself. I double checked it that day, and then the next day when I arrived and putted on it, I also checked the lock. It was definitely locked.

I don't know from personal experience, but a friend of ours said he had learned how to pick locks and with the correct tool it isn't difficult.

I also haven't tried it to see if it will unlock since the basket went missing, but if it was popped open with a hammer strike, it may not function properly.

It is possible someone with a key unlocked it and took it. That particular lock is different from the other 18 out there, and only the City and I have a key to it.

I don't think it was an "inside job". I don't think anyone is pissed about the course going in, nor pissed at us for installing it. We have had three baskets stolen in Olathe since 1989. I think someone just wanted one at their house or farm and figure the City's insurance will cover it and aren't afraid of being caught.

It just sucks for us that play out there, because now we don't have a place to practice putting and warm up near where we park.

Who is this Everyone that likes the backwards set-up you speak of?

I'm not Everyone, but I am Someone, and I'm a traditionalist that likes the normal set-up, and can even tolerate some added OB lines!

No, the thieves will be in trouble. Let's just say that extreme measures are in place and an example will be made of the scum bags that steal our baskets.

Sounds like it may not have been locked properly then.....

It was locked. I personally set the basket in place and locked it down. I triple checked it. It was most probably picked.
