2015 Crazy Beaver - Sponsored by VIRIDISK - Bevier Park June 13th

[jimklem]

We are starting a new event - the Crazy Beaver!
We are still awaiting park district approval and PDGA sanctioning, but I received the go-ahead from Brett and Mike Krupika.

This will be a PDGA C-Tier.  2 rounds of 18 holes. It will be unique mix of "safari" holes and standard hole layouts.
I am currently working on some strong sponsorship and want to make this a FUN event for every player.

Save the date and keep your eyes open for more info in the months to come!

[jimklem]

We will soon be making an announcement about some very exciting sponsors who are getting on board!
The Crazy Beaver is already shaping up to be a fantastic event for players!
Stay tuned!

Tournament Sponsorship:

I'm helping Jim to run this tournament and it would be awesome if Club members could help contribute.  We are working really hard to make this an amazing event for Pros, AMs, and Sponsors.  

Anybody that would like to help out and contribute by becoming a Sponsor, we will welcome any amount you would like to donate or if you have any prizes you want to add to the CTPs.

We are welcoming not only CTPs, but Hole Sponsorships.
Get your name on the Tee of you favorite hole and show you support the club and the sport of disc golf!

This is my first time running an event and we want to make it as awesome as possible!

Contact either Jim Klem or Ryan Aquino for questions or become a sponsor!

I am proud to announce that VIRIDISK has become the Title Sponsor of the 2015 Crazy Beaver!

Khoa Tran and the VIRIDISK team capture stunning aerial photography and video and have filmed many disc golf courses and events, including the IOS at Squaw Creek last year.

It is a great honor that VIRIDISK is partnering with us for the Crazy Beaver because they are truly invested in the future of local disc golf.

Great news! Steve Dodge from Vibram is working with the Crazy Beaver team to help make a unique players' pack that everyone will appreciate!

So far, now with Vibram's help, it is looking like the total Am's player package will be worth about $25-30! Very strong for a C-Tier! We are trying to make it so even the Pros walk away with a little something.

So happy to have VIBRAM as a sponsor!

Nice website. And the walkthough (or flythrough) seems really well made and like it'll be a good resource for all players. My only suggestion would be to put "Bevier Park" and "disc golf" in the video title so it's more easily searchable.

I really do hope to be able to play, either in novice or junior.

We are thrilled to announce that Mind, Body, Disc (mindbodydisc.com) in Round Lake is generously sponsoring the Beaver!

Hey Jim - are you saying the layouts will be different between round 1 and round 2?

[jimklem]

Yes, all divisions will play Temp Layout A for the first round, then Temp Layout B for the second round.
