Hope everyone can make it. Attached is a flyer, I should have a few laminated for next week.
Is that what the discs made of his ashes are supposed to look like? I thought the stamp for the tourney is the same as the logo on the Word doc....
I think it means that there is a 30% chance that it will rain sometime during the evening (or whatever is your stated time period).
Now, a 30% chance of rain certainly doesn't bring with it the statement of 'wet and windy saturday', however....
the 70% chance of precip after 5PM I saw on TWC this morning certainly makes it more likely...
Get that packing tape well secured on your discs and you won't lose the lightsticks! :)
Flyers wil be up at Bevier by Friday; websites will be updated by Saturday.
Sounds GREAT! I hope this event gets tons of players!
I will also email Gary Lewis (Joliet area) and Tom Christensen (Buffalo Grove area) flyers to post.....
Thought these were the sweetest!
This too.
Shawn - Scoreboards are looking good. If it rains, will the scoreboards be covered or sheltered from the storm?
Will 11:00-11:30 be OK for me to show up with the scoreboards?
Just let me know what time.
Brett and I are carpooling from Bevier. Does anyone else need directions or a ride?
Thanks for doing so much work, you old dog. What else do you need besides the scoreboards?
What is the official UWP stance on alcohol on the course/parking lots?
Shawn, please get me the scores and list of folks who need to be publicly thanked. I want to updates the website(s).
What a fab tourney! Long basket positions were great! Shawn, Paul, Craig, Ed Wallen, Dennis Miller, and the UWP staff did a great job! Sweet plaques (at least for Brett who took #2 in Advanced)! THANKS!
sounds cool. i have to check my basketball schedule to see if i have practice that day. life as i know it ends when bball starts.
Flyer is up at Round Lake. Someone may want to hit Adler in Libertyville.
wet & windy saturday
What a great time! The weather was great. Never thought i'd wear a t-shirt all day & we didn't get rained on. That glow round was sweet. DISContinuum had a nice turnout. Mirth, Myk, Jon, Jim, Shawn, Pat, Craig, Paul, & Brett.
I should have laminated copies for you guys on Friday. Josh if you can post 1 at Dreska that would be great. Do you need a stapler? Jim I can get you a copy soon. I am going climbing at Neceeda this weekend and mulching in the yard Monday so maybe I can meet you Tuesday. This event is going in all the right directions, we have the parkside club helping us out. They can get us food, tables, tents, notebook w/printer and most important good beer. What we need is disc golfers and that is where all of you come in. We are keeping it very cheap with a good players package (disc, mini,and glowsticks), with the chance to win really nice plaques. The disc will be a collectors as everyone is saying that this event will become as big as Worlds Biggest. Only a dozen cities are doing it this year, so this is one stop to get this 1st disc. Every year will be a different disc, just like W.B.'est.
Thanks guys, Craig got some posted in Madison over the weekend. So the word is getting out.
Got the disc for the event today, and we got trophies ordered. Disc are pretty sharp. Craig made a awsome design for the trophies. If anyone wants to see the disc, I'll bring a few to glow tomorrow.
The disc that Jim posted are the ones with the ashes also $210 for both. Carolyn is getting them for me for x-mas (well paying for 1/2, her idea), she wants to put them in the hall. I have been trying to hang disc and plaques in the house for over a year with no success and then she told me I can put these up. It's a start right, now If I can get her to let me put up my other collectable ones.
We have 2 pop up vender tents like we had at Praire Springs demo. I should be there early to do some weed whackin, you should be able to get a few holes in if you get there at that time. The couse will be playing 5763 ft first round and 3999ft the second round. Oh and novice first round at 4125Ft. Jim, I really appreciate the help with the board. I think we might not do the beer afterwards they want us to hire one of their bartenders at 8.50 an hour. The school is nickel and diming us apart. So If you want a beer we can run to the brew pub down the street and get a few growlers to go. Can't wait to get another course in the area soon. Too many politics with Parkside.
We accually used a national press release and who ever picked up the story ran it. Not sure what papers used it though. Kyle, thanks for the offer to help, but just about everything is done. Baskets are getting moved to 1st round position Friday at 2. If anyone wants some practice show up for Glow Doubles this Friday show up 1/2 hour before tee off or pay a late fee. We tee off at 6 for Doubles.
Alcohol is OK if you are of age and low key.
Kyle, I would like to do a Mad City style event in this area. We are in the process of getting around the politics by getting a written mandate or rules and fees set up. The only problem is that everyone at the school wants to stick there hands out to get something out of the course. There are departments with a bigger budget that want to make it a great course by doing major changes. But.........
Count me in! Jojo too, I think.
One of the girls at work came up to me today and asked if I was going to play in the tournament this weekend. I told her of course and asked where she'd heard about it from. Apparently the paper ran some information about it either yesterday ro today, I haven't looked for sure. I just wanted to say thanks to all of you guys that put so much into this. You all do a ton of work and deserve a ton of credit.
Hey Shawn Kyle and I ran into Craig last night on hole 9 and he was telling us about the tourney. We're going to Art Smart's and Dretzka on Saturday so we'll just put some fliers up there.
Hey Shawn. Yeah we can definitely put one up at Dretzka. I know I don't have a stapler but Kyle might. But you might wanna bring one tonight anyway if you can please. Thanks.
Wow pretty crazy day saturday. Never did make it to Dretzka, but we did hit Valley View and Art Smart's. So there are flyers at those places. We were hoping to play Dretzka and possibly swing by Valley View just to post a flyer but we wouldn't have made it through Dretzka before dark, we barely made it though Valley View before dark!
Yeah Shawn I'd say bring a few b/c I still need to buy a couple and I know Kyle wanted a couple too but I'm not sure how many he wanted. I think 2.
Shawn-I came across this today on Disclife.com. You can advertise your club or event on there for free. Didn't know if you'd be interested in using it for the Steady Ed. http://www.disclife.com/exchange.shtml
Yeah I talked to my dad today and he mentioned that the paper ran a blurb in the Local section. I'd suggest either Shawn, Craig or Paul should proofread it. Knowing the Kenosha news they probably either mispelled Steady Ed or forgot to put the word "Disc" before Golf Tournament. Oh maybe they put the wrong day down! :-)
Great! Should be fun! Nothing I love more than playing Parkside when it's windy and wet :-)
One of Eric's friends from Stevens Point is coming with us to glow this Friday, so we can probably have him post a few up there too.
Josh knows a guy that writes for the sports section of the Kenosha News too. Hopefully we can get him to give us some good media coverage for the tournament.
Are you guys going to need any help with the course during the day on Friday?
It's to bad there are so many politics from UWP.
I'd love to see a MadCity style tournament once we have multiple courses in the area.
The Kenosha News ran a decent sized article in yesterday's paper (local section).

Sat
Nov 09 PM Showers 63°/46° Precip.% 30 %
I never know if that means that there is a 30% chance of rain anytime during the PM, or if that means it will be raining 30% of the PM or that there will be showers in the pm covering 30% of the general area, or what! I guess it means we might get wet!
