DISContinuum Disc Golf Club
Thank you for supporting Discontinuum DGC in 2022 and, by proxy, supporting the growth and development of disc golf in the northern IL area! Here is your 2022 Discontinuum Club recap- Discontinuum started the year off with roughly $2,200 in the bank as a large purchase was made at the end of 2021 for 4 new baskets for Fairfield Park. Throughout the year we collected membership dues from 215 people, bringing in $3,225 in funds! Club membership dues are the primary way the club is funded so thank you for being a member in 2022! The club was also able to generate roughly $335 in funds through the sales of club merchandise, and $159 from Thursday morning PDGA sanctioned leagues. The club is closing out the year with $2,905 in cash funds. What did the club do in 2022? Fairfield Park:2022 started strong with some long overdue upgrades to Fairfield Park. The club spent around $2,197 at the end of 2021 on purchasing 4 new baskets for the course, which got installed in January. Hole 3 Gold, New basket for new gold positionHole 6 Gold, New basket for new gold positionHole 3 White basket replacedHole 18W/Stockade basket replaced During the winter, to help keep the course playable and free of frozen tee pads, the club spent around $90 on rock salt/ice melt for use at the course. Over the summer, the club spent another $1,098.50 to purchase 2 new baskets for hole 8.Hole 8 Gold, New basket for new gold elevated positionHole 8 White, replaced basket Leagues:-Thursday morning, Tom McManus ran PDGA Sanctioned leagues all year. This league has been awesome for the individuals who have their mornings free and typically can't play any leagues during the weeknight!-Thursday evening Tag leagues were run by myself and Scott Carlson during the Spring and Summer seasons offering club members a chance to come out and play for tags with some money on the line or play for free for tags only.-Closing out the year, I ran the Night Shift Glow league at Fairfield for all the golfers who couldn't stop playing once it got cold and the clocks fell backward. IL Disc Golf Hall of Fame:Discontinuum is the primary sponsor of the IL Disc Golf Hall of Fame. The club spent $153.36 on the trophies for this year's recipients, which included our own Tom McManus #1276 and the late Steve Matul PDGA # 8. The club purchased IL HOF Super Color Buzzz fundraisers discs to commemorate this year's inductees, and the sales of those discs covered the costs of the trophies and brought in an additional $150 in revenue for the club. You can read more about the IL HOF here: illinoisdiscgolf.com/hall-of-fame/ Club-Hosted Clinics:Discontinuum hosted 2 clinics this year for our club members! The first clinic was hosted by our local DGPT MPO player Luke Samson. Luke was kind enough to stop by when he was between DGPT events in the summer and host a throwing clinic for club members. Mike Strauss hosted the 2nd clinic. This clinic focused on scoring well in a round of disc golf. Mike was on an episode of Unstable Discourse this year titled The Mad scientist of Disc Golf, and if you came to the clinic, you would agree with this being an accurate description of him. Club Merchandise:The club purchased a few different club apparel items during the year, which netted the club a $185 in revenue.-Club Hoodies-Club Snapback Hats -Club Challenge DriFits Event Sponsorships:Discontinuum sponsored a number of events in 2022, donating $1,429 in total.-WIIL Border Championship: $250-IOS 100 Forest City Frenzy: $250-IOS #113 Case Jackson Memorial: $250-2022 Discontinuum Club Challenge Invitational: $335-Trinity Links 15th Annual Glow Fundraiser: $100 -16th Discontinuum Club Invitational; $244 Chasing Daylight Iron Man event:Over 50 people played in the Chasing Daylight Iron Man event run by Tim Steward. One hundred holes of disc golf played on one of the year's hottest days (it topped out at 98*!). It was a fun and unique event, and we hope to run more like it in the coming year! 16th Discontinuum Club Invitational:Closing out the tournament season, the club ran the 16th Discontinuum Club Invitational, our annual Club invitational event free for club members. The event is designed to help people get more PDGA points to close out the year by more so designed for club members to play one last sanctioned round with club members to close out the year in a very simple format in which there are CTPs and prizes up for grabs for everyone playing. We had 47 players come out to the event this year, and the weather was awesome for it. The club spent $244 to put this event on for everyone, which does not include the additional prizes donated graciously by other club members. Grey Fox:In a final order of business to end the year, the club has committed to donating $600 towards new hole signage for Grey Fox in Silver Lake. As you may have noticed, the hole signs at Grey Fox are now few and far between. While this course is technically in Wisconsin, it's as much of a home course to all of us who live near the border as Fairfield is. Julianna Schick has been leading the way with this project and has been raising money for it during the year by running a league on Tuesday nights during the summer. She didn't quite meet the money needed for the new hole signs, so we decided to donate the $600 needed to get her there. She is waiting for the artwork to be finalized to order the signs and once that is ready the club will cut her a check for the money. We'll be looking forward to seeing some nice new hole signs at Grey Fox this spring, a much-needed upgrade for the course! Moving into 2023, we are excited to start the new year with new club tags and events: -The 2023 first Tag Challenge should be getting scheduled on the first available Saturday that we have the new tags in hand, which I think will be January 21st, but this isn't finalized yet. Keep an eye out for details on when this will be scheduled. -Starting January 11th Julianna Schick and Scott Carlson will be running a putting league at Copper Bottom in Silver Lake on Wednesday nights for 10 weeks. Format details will be coming soon on this league but it will be free to come out and putt, or you can buy into the flex start putting competition for a chance to win cash. There might also be a practice net for throwing drives into that can be used at the league if you would like to use it or record your form. I know that there is already a putting league in Crystal Lake run by Stigs on Wednesdays, as well as a putting league run by Floppy Discs at the Antioch VFW on Wednesday nights, but this was the only day of the week that worked for both Julianna and the venue. So, it is what it is, and just more options for you to choose from and hopefully a good option for club members who live in Wisconsin and can't make it into IL on a weeknight for putting league. -In February we will be hosting a club pizza party and casual club meeting at a TBD location, but it'll be in the Lake County area. The club will be buying some pizzas for everyone to enjoy, but you will be responsible for your beverage purchases. The goal of this event is to get together to; kick off the year, have a good time, and talk about any and all things disc golf going into 2023. It's an excellent opportunity to hear from club members about what you would like to see from Disconintuum in 2023. The club couldn't have done all this without the personal time generously donated by our club staff members listed below. If you would like to get more involved and help out with the club, please let us know, as we would love to have your help running the club and improving the quality of disc golf in northern Illinois. -Ryan Pilcher-Tom McManus-Scott Carlson-Tim Steward-Tom Schodtler Thank you,Ryan Pilcher ...

If you have the time and inclination come out to Fairfield with a shovel. The PD has dropped piles of mulch around the course. I got a start on it today before the rain. There are piles all over. Spreading mulch will help knock the mud down. ... See MoreSee Less
