General Banter / Ace pot payout out

« on: May 16, 2013, 09:09:58 AM »

The PITT Ace Pot was around $320 and last night we had 2 aces which we pay 75% of the pot out which totaled around $120 each.  One person was a member and the other has just started playing and it was his second time at league.  My question is how do you guys handle payouts at all the courses in K.C.?  Do you go by the same standards at every course or is each course different?  I would like to hear all options that anyone has encountered at any league you may have played at anytime during your life.  Some of our members would like to only pay 50% of payout to non-members and 75% to members to see if that would increase participation in joining our club.  I think I've heard of others deduct membership dues from the non-member which makes him a member for the remainder of the year.  Let the ideas fly as I would like to hear all options!  Thanks

General Banter / club tournaments

« on: January 28, 2013, 10:52:06 AM »

I have a meeting planed with our local Parks and Rec concerning our club tournaments.  It looks like they want to charge us a fee and have us carry insurance for our club tournaments.  I'm sorry but we are not large enough to handle both these issues as we don't see large turnouts for our smaller club tournaments.  So my questions are:

Are any clubs required to pay a fee to the local Parks and Rec when running a tournament?

Are any clubs required to provide insurance to the local Parks and Rec when running a tournament?

My problem with the fee is going to be if they want a set amount to run a tournament because if they expect $100 per tournament and I only have 8-10 players show up (not uncommon as we don't seem to get the support) then the payout is going to be poor as I have to deduct that from the entry.  If we can agree on a small percentage of the entry fees then we will be fine.  As far as the insurance issue goes, our club can't afford to carry and insurance policy just to put on a few tournaments each year.  I know we can purchase one through the PDGA (which we will do for the PITT Open one time a year) but for our other smaller club tournaments we don't want to sanction them just to get an insurance policy as that my drop attendance even more.

Let me know your thoughts on this so I can have some ammunition when I go into my meeting.  Thanks

Rosedale / June 27th league

« on: June 26, 2012, 08:54:58 AM »

What time does league start tomorrow at Rosedale?  I'm dropping my daughter off at the airport at 2pm and want to play before I head home.  Last time I tried this I was stuck at the airport for 5 additional hours because of incoming plane problems, thunderstoms and the such.  Doesn't look like that will be a problem tomorrow...lol.  Thanks

General Banter / PDGA Rating System SUCKS!

« on: April 02, 2012, 08:54:29 AM »

The PDGA needs to do something about their rating system in comparison to divisions.  At Bowling Green this weekend REC Champions shot -9 down and would have finished 3rd place in BOTH INT and ADV.  COME ON PDGA...it's going to get to the point the ACTUAL Rec players don't play in tournaments because of ALL of the sandbagging.  Or it may already be there.

Just an opinion!
