Maybe I can get there on time!!!  The last few weeks, I have missed you guys by about 10 min or so.

ACE RACE!!!  HELL YEAH!!!

[drdye]

It was a blast!!!  My first Ace Race!!  Almost got one on #7, just a couple inches lower.  But lots of metal, I think everyone in our group got metal at least once.  I thought for sure someone would hole one of them.  What a great time, Thanks Shawn!!!!

We are putting in sleeves for super short placements.  This is for a computer olympiad that is happening at Parkside in the next few weeks.  They plan on taking the kids and volunteers on the course and giving them a few disc each.



Anyway, just did not want people freaking out that next week everything will be super short.  Can you say "multiple aces" for leagues this week...last week also, ace pool should be around 170.



Also, due to the nature of the short placements, we are having an "Ace Race" on Thursday, August 21st.  This is the week we will also be giving out plaques and discs to the winners of the Summer league.  Sign-up between 5 and 5:45 we will be shotgun starting at 6.  I will get back to you on the cost.  Everyone will drive 2 disc on each hole to try to get an ace.  I'll get more info out asap.

Sunday League is scheduled for Parkside on August 24th. Will the short pins still be there then? I won't be there anyhow, but thought I'd point that out.

Wow, it has been a long time since anyone has talked about Parkside.  The Course is in excellent condition..considering all the rain lately.  I would like to thank Tall Paul, Sergio and Kevin S. for helping out today with spreading chips, removing fallin' trees, installing steps up the ravine to #3 shorts tee pad, grubbin' out stumps and just making the course look so nice...  I'm glad to have friends like you guys that take pride in disc golf.

After our work day we played cali from the longs for tags...not to sure of the scores but Kevin gave me a battle to the end..  I think I shot a -3.

Summer Leagues I believe will be starting on June 24th, which is a Thursday, not sure on times yet, should be same as last year.

Praire Open registration is now open at http://oldweb.uwp.edu/admin/union/discgolf/tournys.html

This should be one of the best tournaments we have ever had at Parkside...

We are working on camping on site for out of towners, or those who just want to camp....  we will most likely have a huge bonfire.  good times..

I didn't realize anyone was doing course work today or I would have stopped by. Went up to Dretzka for the first time in about a year...

[shawn]

I'm pretty sure we will be having a chip speading work day in about 3-4 weeks...  I'll give a heads up to Ya'll, O-tay.

Much appreciated, Kyle. It was kind of spur the moment for Kevin and I. I knew Shawn was going to be out there working on the steps, didn't realize he was going to make it a day of "work."

Some idiot with a blue sharpie went through the course today and and wrote urls and general graffiti on nearly every tee sign and a few of the ace boards from hole 12 through 18.
Managed to clean most of the tee signs off by spraying them with Steve's Off Skintastic. (this stuff washes sharpie off with no effort and I'm putting it on my skin?)

[mirth]

What were the urls? Lets DOS his site!

[D]

Played Parkside tonight.. Man do I love this course.

I didn't notice much of the URL stuff (if any, but then again I wasn't looking for it) so good job man.




DOS HIM?  

I swear to god if this doesn't stop there will be $%^&ing murders!!
