« on: September 15, 2011, 11:40:11 PM »

There was a bag tag found at Water Works League tonight. If you lost one, let me know the number, and I will get it back to you!

And if you'd rather have my #268 instead....too bad!!! I am keeping it.

Club Archives / Thank you!!

« on: August 05, 2009, 03:01:46 PM »

It was a privilege to work with so many amazing people on the events and hospitality for the 2009 Worlds. You were all so gracious in giving your time, talents, creativity, passion, and more than a bit of patience to this endeavor.

To the team who met faithfully week after week: Mike Allen, Tavish Carduff, Daniel Loomis, CD Steiner, Kristie Svejda, and Susan Taylor, you each showed individual moments of genius and worked together as a team in a way that should be an example for others.

Jack Lowe, John Chapman and Rick Rothstein, thank you for taking the time to give your guidance, time and support to our efforts…even as you were carrying the bigger responsibilities of this little tournament.

I want to thank Kevin and Tammie Montgomery, C.J. Johnson and his boys, Linda Harwood and her daughter Courtney, and Jennifer Keffer for helping us provide entertainment and transportation for the juniors, and Kris-Ann Carduff, Fred Smith, Crazy John Brooks and Brenda Vogelsmeier for helping with the Ladies Ring of Fire. A big thank you to Juliana Korver, Mo Louis, and Duffy Carduff, for judging the talent show. What a fun time that was! Thanks also go to those working on the Par Crawl: Dick Parker, designer of the courses, and Course Directors Angie Biondo, Brad Damico, Vlad Wunschl, Maureen Cameron and Ben Taylor.

It was a great time. Can’t wait to do it again. (well maybe I can wait a little while)

Britain’s got talent…America’s got talent…and we’re absolutely convinced disc golfers do too!!
Here’s a chance to show us what you’ve got. Can you sing, dance, make us laugh, twirl a flaming baton, pull a rabbit out of a hat, make Jack Lowe disappear?
 
Join us Tuesday, July 28th, 8 PM at the host hotel for a fun, lively evening of entertainment…where you just might learn a little bit more about that golfer you’ll see on the course the rest of the week!  We will be limiting the competition to 20 acts, and have some great prizes to give away. If you don’t have an act for the talent show, but enjoy making music…bring your instruments  and join us for the Jam Session portion of the show.

STAR PAR Details:
The rules:  1) Keep it family friendly and keep it under 5 minutes. Going over the allotted time will constitute a reduction in your overall score. 2) You will have up to 3 minutes to prepare the stage for your presentation and you must clean up the stage upon completion of your set. 3) You must be present to win any prizes at the end of the show. 4) All contestants must be at the show 30 minutes before the start to ensure their spot in the contest.
A panel of three judges will determine the winner by voting on three categories:
1.   Overall entertainment quality of the talent.
2.   The skill level of the performer(s).
3.   Execution of the talent.

Each contestant will receive a t-shirt for participating. Each contestant is responsible for providing their own materials e.g. makeup, costumes, instruments, etc. And did we mention, LOTS of great prizes!

Club Archives / Hospitality

« on: February 24, 2009, 10:21:12 AM »

Hospitality refers to the reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers, with liberality and goodwill. It’s also known as the act of generously providing care and kindness to whomever is in need.

As the Worlds Championships approach, we here in the Kansas City metro area have the opportunity to make this the best Worlds…EVER… by practicing that hospitality. We will be receiving visitors from other countries, who are making an extraordinary effort to be here. For those who have some extra space to share, this would be a great opportunity to meet new connections and make new friends. You never know when YOU may be traveling to a new country.

If you have room to host a player or two, or ten (or if you have friends who need more friends)…please PM me here or email me at borntoshimmer2003@yahoo.com.

Help us make Kansas City a place where people can't wait to come back and play!
