Tournaments / Re: Discraft Ace Race

Sweet, thanks DD! I was a little worried we wouldn't have one here this year. This disc seems like it might be much better for running aces than the putters they have given us 2 of the last 3 years.

Bag Tags / Re: What tag you got? 2012

« on: August 01, 2012, 09:50:10 PM »

still stuck with 293 after the pussy adam abernathy lost to me at rosey league today. his excuse was he was just going for aces and tags werent in play which is a bunch of bs on his part but just shows what kinda man he is....

I've found the best bet is to say something about the tags early in the round. Otherwise you end up with some losers saying they didn't think tags were in play. Which is total BS because if you have tags and you are keeping score, they are in play.

I was just pinged about this by a coworker.  http://fiber.google.com/about/  My neighborhood isn't eligible. 

But if you are in one of the eligible neighborhoods, have a need for and can afford $120 a month for HDTV and super fast internet, it's a good idea to preregister.   The usual $300 installation fee will be waived if you do sign-up early.

$120 seems pretty reasonable to me. I pay $10 less than that for Time Warner and I hate both my slow internet and crap tv service. Unfortunately I am in an area where it is not available yet.

Thanks, after reading the internet tips.  I think until I get comfortable with playing, I'm not going to worry about a score. I'm doing OK to keep the disc in the fairway and out of the weeds.  I read more then once about control vs. distance. Watching others throw , I wanted more then I am capable of. First things first, Pleasent Hill has Rec Par and I need to stick to that.

I used to be a good Ball Golfer and just wanted to do welll with the disc. I understand the mechanics but don't have the technics down.
I think I found a sport I can truly get into. My wife who doesn't care for outdoor stuff , wants to play. I gave her a putter and she tried. That is a good thing for me.

As for now, just don't point and laugh. At lest I'm keeping it out of the weeds.

Cheers
Mick

Keeping score may help you to improve and know you are improving. Just don't worry about par. I find that too many players worry about par and get discouraged when they aren't getting 3's all the time. To me par is irrelevant, as a new player you should be worrying about beating your own scores, not worried about getting "par".

Yeah I understand that help is needed in collecting trash, thus why I volunteered. I thought that the club and/or parks dept provided trash bags. I have no problem volunteering work but I'm not buying trash bags in order to do said work.

Water Works / Need Trash Bags for Course

« on: July 17, 2012, 01:50:27 PM »

I played Works this morning and was disgusted by the overflowing trash cans. I live pretty close and would gladly do some trash pickup out there if I could get some trash bags. Who is the CC for WW now?

I will also try to text you with the phone number on the disk.

Why do we do this? Not all phone numbers are cell numbers, therefore they don't all receive texts. It is awesome of you to try and return a fellow golfers disc, but if you are really trying to return the disc give the number a call.

Not ranting at you, just ranting about the fact that our society thinks phones are for texting and facebook and not for making phone calls.

Found and Lost / Re: lost wraith- yellow with a raiders shield on it..

« on: June 28, 2012, 02:38:20 PM »

there is no justice......but then there is no chance for the raiders, so at least the fan got their disc back....only to play with more chief fans, and be faced with the comments that will abound from said disc.....

...and what would you say to about my discs?

Those are even uglier. At least the Raiders logo is kind of cool.

A couple weeks ago, I stole the hanging basket from Cliff Drive. Hahahahaha, now I am taunting the entire KC disc golf community, as well as the cops. Taunt, taunt, taunt!

Oh good, I was hoping that was the case and not real thieves.

It seems that the pole for hole 15 will not go far enough into the ground to be able to lock it down. Should I leave in the position it has been in or move it to one of the other positions?

It is OB. Because the lie is marked directly under the disc.
