Uh, asking people to keep their own score is only asking for trouble no matter how honest you believe the person to be.



I don't think that flipping through cards to write down a score is that big of a deal, either.



Between Jim, Brett, Jon, Chud and the two poles that Shawn can get I think we'd good on baskets. If we need a 7th my M14 is always in my trunk...

[mirth]

I think the rule that Jon's talking about is relating to players keeping their own score versus rotating the cards around in the group.

[mirth]

I can help with registration and scorekeeping, as well as other misc duties assigned the day of.



I can also bring my M14 if we want another practice basket. Hell, its always in my trunk so lets just say it will be there regardless.

[mirth]

What happened to Chud's basket? At one point I had counted 6 before myk or I volunteered baskets....

[mirth]

So does the liquor store on the corner of Green Bay and YorkHouse, as well as Jewel on the corner of Lewis (39th Ave, for all you Northerners...) and YorkHouse.

[mirth]

Yeah, I was planning on picking some up at Home Depot, unless someone can suggest elsewhere (in the two days remaining until the event...)

[mirth]

Yeah, nev' mind. I found 100 flags for $8 at HD. Should I pick up some new orange tape for the hole poles also, or do you have that Brett?

[mirth]

k. where did you find the orange tape? HD?

[mirth]

Scorecards are printed & cut. Man, I love working at a place that has good office supplies... you shoulda seen this paper cutter I got to use!  :-)

I should be finishing the flyers tonight. Emails will go out soon.

Also got my wife as a sponsor for the HPC; Tastefully Simple will donate a gift basket for either CTP or raffle.  Great food!

Brett, please bring your basket. Jon Brakel & Shawn, please bring yours if possible. I'll bring mine for putting basket.

Temporary holes will be ALL NEW!

I need ideas for raffle (what prizes?).

THANKS!

[jim]

Good idearrrrr!  Whatduya think, Doctor?

(If the Dr. isn't online, can you suggest it to him, BC?)

[jim]

Thanks!!! All help will be welcome.

Also, I'll be posting a flyer later tonight. If folks can post 'em at every course around, we'll be rockin'!

[jim]

Here's the flyer.......

It is in Word format.

Depending on the weather, I doubt we'll break 50 players. But we might, but instead of adding more holes, I'd prefer to do a staggered start.

Of course, I am open to rounds of 15 holes, but that would extend the day by up to an hour.

So far, we have 4 baskets from Brett, Jon, Chud, and me. If we could get 3 more, if the weather is OK and people want to play more, we could easily set up 3 more temp holes, possibly using the soccer field.

Yes, a bunch of folks who were at the Blast are on my current email list. Thanks to all for posting flyers too!

[jim]

I trust no one to keep their own score. Especially myself! :-)

At all but 2 PDGA events, we rotated as scorekeepers in the group. I like this because it spreads the burden around evenly and allows you to get to know the other players perhaps a little more (more interaction).

Also, it will ease keeping track of players by division. At da Blast, there were some cards with Pros and Advanced, and some with Pro Woman, Pro, and Amateur (final round). That was confusing. Just ask Jason!

BTW, Chain Reaction will be at the HPC Memorial too.

[jim]

That's just one of the things I like about you Brakels. You're always clear on where you stand.....   :-)

[jim]

Thanks, Frog!  Would it help to have a signer/translator at our bigger events for the hearing impaired? I know those of you who played last year's Blast said it wasn't necessary, but just let me know if we need to supply a signer.



Thanks, Jon! I thought FlipCity was 18 holes. Recent upgrade?  I'd love to play that course sometime this summer!

[jim]

Jon, please refresh my memory. Will you be at the HPC or at FlipCity?  If you won't be at HPC, will you be bringing your basket to Leagues on Sunday for us to use at the tourney?  THANKS!

BC, if you are planning on bringing your SkillShot, we'd be happy to use it as a practice basket. People don't like my single-chained Tri-State much.

We will be having a raffle for another Ching Mini SkillShot, a few discs, an Innova Towel, and a cool Tourist t-shirt donated by Damon.



For food, I thought we'd have snacks made by Kirsten/Tastefully Simple, and pizza from Pizza Hut. Sound OK?

Need a volunteer to run and get pizza after the first round.



I also need a volunteer to buy a mix of bottled pop, bottled/boxed juice, and bottled water. You will be reimbursed the day of the event.



Also need a volunteer to help at registration and with scorekeeping in between rounds.



I will be getting to the course about 7am to string OB boundaries, mark tees, and clean up any loose garbage. Please join me if you can.



Am I forgetting anything??????
