Maybe they should have just left Olathe off all together, since everything wasn't worked out yet.   

The only thing that isn't worked out is if we will alternate the Monday KCFDC league in Olathe between the two courses, weekly, monthly, or at all. My current plan is to have the weekly at Lakeside Hills until further notice, as it is a more challenging course, has no baseballers or soccer folks around, and gives PC a much needed break from the large numbers of golfers that play it.

We have even had club members asking to set up a second weekly in Olathe on another night as well.

We can easily remove the Olathe courses from any Club leagues though Eric, if you think that's a good idea.

You'll find the complete league calendar here: http://kcfdc.org/leagues
and the overall calendar of events including leagues and tournaments here:http://kcfdc.org/event-calendar

Rhonda,

 I hadn't decided or announced that the Monday Olathe league was going to rotate weekly, monthly, or even at all. Please revise the league schedule and just have it say it's at Birdland (Lakesdie Hills) until further notice.

Thanks!

PDGA ratings are established for players based on their score during a round as compared to propagators playing the same round. the division you play in and who you play against does not factor in.

Pads should be happening within the next couple months. The next workday will involve digging three sleeve holes, mixing up three, eighty pound bags of crete, and setting in the three alternate pin placement sleeves, probably on holes 1, 8, and I want to try to get taht done by the end of April, if not sooner.

It's entirely possible there will be ACE beverages there, courtesy of the last GLOW night ACER.

It shouldn't be nearly as windy at worlds in July as it was last April. July and August typically have much calmer winds in Kansas than April.

The same classless type of folks that climb a fence into private property litter the parks, with little concern of what their actions may cause.

I do find it ironic though that the government fines American citizens for climbing a fence in Lees Summit, yet provides entitlements for non-American citizens that climb a fence on the Rio Grande.

Loomis, thanks for the review.

The Lake does come into play on hole 5, because I witnessed a power flick by Brian Corneilius that flipped wind up at least 75' out in the water.

The small pond between 1 and 18's fairway will be more of a factor for both holes when I install the short 1 pin and the jumbo long 18 pin. Bombers will try to go big air hyzer on 18, and if they don't clear all the treetops may land wet.

We can stretch out 4 a lot, possibly even using 8's sleeve. We can stretch out 10, 11, and 12 quite a bit eventually too. When I get 1's short sleeve in, we can put 17 in the long 1 placement for a much longer, very picturesque down hill.

I think #8's tee will end up 15' to the south and about 15' to the east. We will then put a pin on the level ground above the retaining wall, near the stairs, but that plan is subject to the City's approval. The wall is in disrepair and they may not want us using it.

We will keep refining this tract over time, and also make some more enhancements to PC. I'm just happy to have two tracts only 5 minutes from home, and I hope all the players enjoy the courses. 

I would invite and encourage everyone that visits to pack out what you bring in, and if you see some dumbasses litter, please pick it up.

A foursome playing singles can expect around a 2 1/2 to 3 hour round. 

If ya all wanted to play $5 or $10 random dubs, I'd be happy to do the do using my GLOW dubs payout structure.

It means PC get's a much deserved break from over 75 rounds per day in the nice weather. We may rotate, but the current plan is Birdland for at least the first week.

Sorry if this has been answered somewhere already, but I tried looking around a bit with no luck...
All I could find was a winter league schedule. Is there anything different going on around the area now that our evenings are a little longer? I will be moving to Olathe in less than 2 weeks from Georgia and am dying for some league action.

I can't speak for any of the other courses, but there will be KCFDC Summer league starting up in Olathe at Birdland (Lakeside Hills) on Monday, April 1.

We will tee at 5:30, so please try to be signed up by 5:15. The format will be singles, and if there are at least three to form a division (ams, masters, grandmaster, wanna be-pros, women) then we can do it.

There is also a league on Monday in the ghetto part of KCMO, but typically you end up wading thru trash and burned up cars. Oh, and there is a machete wielding, balding, psychopath roaming around there as well. It is considered by some as the best Monday league in the KC metro though. Of course by best, they mean least attended.
