2013 Kansas City Team Challenge
Cooper:
It's Tracy's thing, he can do what he wants. He wants his team to be built upon certain skills that are closest to those displayed at WW.
I don't think anyone would disagree that WW and Lakeside require very different types of play.
Tom:
There WILL BE a Summer gathering weekly at PC....ON FRIDAY NIGHTS. :P

Cooper, I understand this better than most people...which is why I run a tourney every year...so that point is null. When can we look forward to you running a tourney? ;)
Tracy, I'm in no way trying to knock you or what you are doing....but as an extreme southwest sider...I may be able to participate in more of these evets if I didn't have to drive all over MO on set week nights...or certain PDGA event...especially since PDGA costs even more money to get qualified for a "local" event.
Kind of seems like you are already bowing to the east side saying that West side courses are not "good enough" to qualify on.
P.S. - Get out and play Lakeside....it's worth your time.

I understand your frustration. I was very excited to put 5 spots up for grabs at PC. To have that opportunity taken away bums me out. Tom, are you just burnt out on PC? It seems to me you'd want to keep traffic on the new course limited 'til pads were poured and such.
Andy, I think in general our courses are better. But I really would hold a Qualifier at Cliff if I thought all the players would go out there. That is where 2/3rds of the points will be available. It makes sense to qualify there. But, I'm not going to have a situation like last year where I was the top scorer at one of the West qualifiers. No offense to our team, but lack of interest in the qualifiers really hurt our squad last year.
Loomis:
I still say that the East West Challenge should be done at Thornfield or at a temp course designed by non-combatants. Or, it could be done like the America's Cup and the tournament shifts to the state who won the last competition. As far as the qualifiers go; I would rather the try outs occur on the course which is being used in the competition. If we are using WYCO, then we should try out on WYCO.
Some day, Loose Park is going to have a great temp course put up which we can play for an hour before we get run out of the park. Some day.
Tom:
Tracy,
I'm not burned out on PC. It is suffering from overuse and by keeping league away, I am saving some foot traffic there. Also, it's entirely possible the baskets will not be there while the City has them in the shop getting painted and re-furbished.
Also, the new course needs as much traffic as possible, to "beat it down" some and smooth out the fairways and the rough. It also is helping me see where boxes might be placed in better spots.
I'm not frustrated at all. It's yer deal and whatever you think makes sense is fine. As for holding league at PC on the date you "announced"on March 12, I did immediately reply that league would not be there that night. Sorry if your plans didn't work with mine.
I do agree with Daniel that the qualifiers should be played on the actual courses used in the event though.
I was the captian (and chose my team) of my 9th grade first semester PE class flag football team......we didn't lose ANY games.....just sayin.
