Thank You's / Re: Tees Channahon
« on: March 04, 2013, 07:32:33 PM »
Me and a few other guys brought a shovel out and played a round and shoveled the pads then me and my bro played a second round and we took a ice scrapper out and got the ice:):)
I mentioned that to someone that I thought it was you guys. How nice that was!!! Thanks you guys! :)

Is it possible if an official can post a couple scheduled rounds before then. This way it will be easier to set something up. Just a thought.
Yes, the left side of the message board, like black & white posted. Titled leagues, then under that , spring/summer, & then handicap. That starts 4/2, at the round barn.

I can only guess & I won't. Thanks for clearing the tees for tags & doubles for this week. That's super cool!!! I planned to do them Thursday, & it didn't work.
Thanks!!!

I realize this is early, but I'd like to jump on it for Ill. State. The erosion on the steps are like a handicap ramp. We need sharp flat shovels, & I can put an edge on it, if needed. I'd like Jesse to focus on the tournament, we can get the course ready.
I'll be your water boy again Frankie! Just let me know my friend.
Your good help brother! Don't forget to make a list for Oswego.

Thanks Paco! It wouldn't feel right not helping getting the course ready. So I'll definitely be out there.
I thought you might think that way. We have your back!

Gibby and Grimes Tuesday Night Handicap League

(Handicap - Singles League)

Start date:  Tentative start is April 9th, 2013 and will be the same schedule and course as the doubles league, just the night before doubles. (See Doubles Schedule on front page). I will update after I confirm with Jason that we are set with the PDGA sanctioning.

Entry fee ($5); optional Ace ($1); optional PDGA sanction ($1); CTPs (2 or 3 CTPs @ $2 each). CTPs will be designated as Prize Fund & Club Enhancements. 

The payout will be the top 30% with a minimum of $5 for last cash.  $0.50 from each entry fee will pay the hot round of the day.

Players will still have the option of playing leagues as a PDGA Sanctioned event.  They will receive official ratings and points.

Handling of non-rated players:  If you do not have a PDGA rating, your first 3 rounds at the handicap leagues will be free to establish your handicap.  You will only be allowed to participate in the Ace Fund, CTPs, and Bag Tags (Bag Tags will be determined on the scratch score). 

Another option to acquire your handicap: if a club officer is willing to play those three rounds outside of league night, they will "sign off" that your scores are valid to use to develop your 3 round minimum for getting your "handicap". After you accumulate more rounds, your rating will be taken from your last 5 rounds.

Frank Grimes, Rob Gibson, and Dean Bingham will be running Handicap League. Jason Poole will be handling the PDGA sanctioning and results.
Good job Gibby! Only another month & the summer season starts. In past years handicap has not started with Shorewood, as doubles does. I'm neutral, it's your call.

Shoot The Breeze / Re: My Friend FRANK
« on: February 25, 2013, 05:38:46 PM »
Well, there is more concern about my health issues. I have a small tumor on my brain. It perhaps came from my hormone treatments, but for now it's unknown. I need to meet with a neurosurgeon & we go from there. My Primary care Dr. went to both ends of the spectrum, surgery to nothing. I complained on my cancer visits & thus the MRI & then these results. Further tests will be coming. I'm passing on what my primary care Dr. told me. I'm taking a deep breath & a sigh. Keep chugging the good thoughts & Prayers!!!

Shoot The Breeze / Vietnam Sniper
« on: February 13, 2013, 11:07:38 PM »
If you have time you might find this interesting.  Perhaps some have heard in the news about the sniper Chris Kyle, a Navy Seal, with 160 confirmed kills, that was murdered & recently buried. There was a 200 mile trek for his burial.
That brought me to  Carlos Hathcock a Vietnam Marine sniper. It's amazing when you need the barometric pressure to make the shot, of course the wind & distance is computed.

              Thank You J-Town crew for another great Ice Bowl.....you guys Rock!
                                         Love to see Frankie so happy!
                                                            :)
                                                                                             
Yes, that day was huge!!! I was overwhelmed! I can't say enough about the club & their enthusiasm! That would be Ray Hill, Jason Poole, Dean Bingham, & Dave Kociuba. Dana jumped in with help with the registration, Scott Coyne came with the firewood & got the fire going, Steve Slater with the basket & helped with the sponsor signs, & helped up front, along with many others. A Great statement to the community & disc golf. I need to round up the money, but I think it will be close to $9,000.00. Simply Wonderful!!!

Is there going to be a Frank's & Bean's Handicap League in 2013?  If so, will it be on Tuesday nights, and how soon will the schedule be coming out?
Yes.  We let Jesse do the work & follow the summer league schedule. The first & last are typically Shorewood. That will be, most likely, the first Wed. in April. Handicap would be he first Tuesday.

I am going to head over there sometime after noon to practice and I'll be more than happy to help out as well!
Great Gibby! Ryan is going to be out there as well with the sponsor signs. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
