General Banter / Re: The 'Official' ACE Thread!

« Last post by Kevin Montgomery on May 22, 2013, 09:03:16 AM »

Andy Jewett hit his third USM ace last night with a forehand Firebird slamming the chains on #17 (8b). Witnesses were a large contingent of beer leaguers, a couple of birds from Olathe and the usual USM crowd, 21 in all. Needless to say, he went away with a few more bucks in his pocket than he started with and that disc is now covered in signatures.

Many different organizations participated in the cleanup, hence the title name......but I digress....

I'm not sure how it would be a digression. If there are groups that participated that could be contacted by a number of club members with a short email I think it would be great. By group I don't mean a collection of individuals. Of course that would be cumbersome and ineffectual. I posted the reasoning somewhere else and don't wish to rehash it all but my points are valid. So, were there 'groups' in the sense that they have group contact information (like Churches, Boy Scout Troops, HOA's, Temples, Mosques, Homeless Shelters, Non-Profits, etc...) or was it explicitly members of the community unattached to an outside group and brought together only in the name of neighborhood cleanup?

(This isn't to suggest that work done by the loose association of neighbors is less laudable. It is great and wonderful and should be celebrated. Any suggestion that that is my point is a misreading and I would ask the reader to re-evaluate my words and intent.)

In any case, this is great. Thanks to Jack for getting people out there and to everyone who eschewed the local tournament for the betterment of our courses.

Yup! The party on the college campus last night turned out great.   

Beer league made a road trip up to see us so we adopted their gang-golf rules and were able to get seventeen holes in before darkness encroached prompting us to fire up the grill. It was a blast!

Beer league RocS!!!   

We celebrated Rebecca's birthday. Andy Jewett got the aforementioned ace and a couple of Birds from Olathe joined us, Tom and Deano. Jack Lowe even paid us a visit to get in on the fun.  Tom took top honors for the night with a bogie-free five under par. Nice shooting! Bogie free was no easy task with that crowd and a couple of the temp holes being stretched out a bit.

Being beer league and a pretty casual style round I don't have other scores to report but suffice to say, there were 21 rounds of seventeen holes played, one ace and at least one hot round. Good times! And good food too... Thanks to Tony Todd for handling the burgers and brats!

A big special THANK YOU to Beckett Carduff who came out yesterday all day and did some more major removal on the honeysuckle, and removed a ton (ok not a ton, but at least 5 trash bags worth) of old cans that had made its way down the area we are looking to reclaim.

Uh, yeah! Holy sh1t, dude! This pile is bigger than it looks, too:

That is giant! It always amazes me that people would rather toss that stuff in nature than go through the minimal effort of getting it to a trash can or recycling it.

Great job Beckett! (And make sure your tetanus booster is up to date!)

I know that WW is set in the long position.  I think that Dan is moving all the baskets for Blue Valley-side note, decided against #5 and #7 long, leaving them where they are.

Uncertain about Rosedale.

According to Jack, there was a group of neighborhood volunteers working on the east end of the park. Do keep in mind that there is more to Kessler Park than just the disc golf course as far as the neighbors are concerned. Seven guys working on the course was great a good turnout for any Cliff Drive workday.
