5th Annual Kansas City Disc Golf Day and Picnic—May 16, Rosedale Park

[Rick Rothstein]

It's time for Disc Golf Day on May 16. Here's a link to a registration form: http://www.kcfdc.org/docs/dgd09registration.pdf

We're once again at Rosedale, but we have the shelter reserved this year. Come out and play a round, eat some food, drink some drinks, and plays some games. It's about fun and disc golf camaraderie and also a fundraiser for the Worlds. It's a great time to bring a new person out and teach them about this wonderful game.

Hope to see everyone there. If you can't attend, you can still support the event and get the commemorative disc and tee shirt.

Just a quick reminder that Kansas City Disc Golf Day returns to Rosedale Park tomorrow (May 16). It's an informal, non-competitive day to celebrate disc golf in Kansas City as we raise some funds for this summer's Worlds Championships that the KCFDC is hosting. Please sign up (or check in) and get a scorecard at the shelter. By filling in your entry form before you get there, you can save some time.

It's like, a holiday 

[Mile High Golfer]

Have fun...Wait a miunte...isn't everyday a Disc golf day...when your playing?

[Keizer]

Thanks to all who put this on yesterday. Kelly cooks a mean burger, and I really liked the classic look of this year's logo. Great times...

[discglover]

Too bad there were no full color fundraiser discs with this stamp. That woulda been sweet.
I was a little surprised on the course set-up since it's geared toward getting new players out.
I personally shot pretty well the 2 rounds I shot but was wondering what it was like for a co-worker I ran into that just started playing.

[Rick Rothstein]

Thanks to the 158 people who supported Disc Golf Day last Saturday. All the people who bought packages and helped out are listed below. So far, we raised about $850 towards the Worlds. "So far" means we have still have packages left that can be purchased at DGW for $15. There are mainly Aviar Putters and a few Rocs left to go with L, XL, and XXL tee shirts.

It appears that nearly everybody had a really fun day. Disc Golf Day was made possible through the efforts of many people. Let's thank Kelly Warren who fed everyone, Tavish Sanders for helping with the meal and registration, Dick Parker and John Chapman for getting the beer, Dick for the the mini course, Lynne Warren for the goofy games, Brenda Vogelsmeyer (assisted by her son, Evan) of All Star Awards for the three cool trophies and helping with the meal and registration, Ray Kinnett of Pepsi for the soda, Pete and Dan Cashen for providing the grill,  and Jim Sherwood for moving the baskets to some (but not all) of the shorter positions. Also thanks to Duffy Carduff at Eagle Products and me at Disc Golf World for the supportive pricing on the shirts and discs.

The Spirit Trophy was given to Kelly Warren for the victuals, the Mini Golf trophy to Greg Curtin, and in a random draw, goofy-games girl Lynne Warren got the Goofy Games award. Thanks in part to Innova, we had lots of prizes in the raffle for participating in golf and the Goofy Games. Toby Kennedy was the only one to make the 75-foot CTP shot and snagged the Traveler Portable Target.

I also want to welcome these new KCFDC members who signed up at Disc Golf Day: Tim Bannister, Brandon Card, Jacob Coles, Greg   Curtin, Brian Haight, Mike Miller, Bobby Murphy, Derek   Newman, Chris Pfister, Don Pfister, Jamell Sablow, Dean Scott, CJ Snapp, Marc Wisbey, Craig Workman.

Thanks to again to everyone and a shout out to the weather gods, who smiled upon us. Be looking for the sixth annual Kansas City Disc Golf Day next may.

[Anthony Puryear]

Rick, would it be possible to post pictures of the disc/shirt design? I couldn't make it on Saturday, but might be interested in a package. Thanks!

[Keizer]

Here ya go, Anthony-- my shirt and Aviar putter from DGD. They also had the shirts in a sort of orange sherbert or salmon color.

[David E]

I believe the color was described to me as 'gay peach'

[Keizer]

That's probably an accurate description.

Seems to be a lot of funky-colored disc golf t-shirts out there. The funky or "loud" colors are fine, but I probably wouldn't wear them for anything other than disc golf or working around the house. I prefer a regular old black, white, gray, or navy blue t-shirt if I have the choice.

[Rick Rothstein]

I believe the color was described to me as 'gay peach'

I think they are called sun washed neon orange and sun washed neon green. But peaches are in season now too.

[Anthony Puryear]

Those are cool. I'll have to make my way to DGW soon and pick up a package. Will you be accepting KC cash for those? Or do I need to pay real cash since its for worlds?

[Timko]

I really like the colors of the shirts.  I have enough disc golf tees in black/white/gray/red/blue/other primary color, so it was nice to see something different.

[discglover]

I am missing from the list.

I'll beat you to it Jack.
Was I not worth mentioning??
