Ok, some of the pictures may have changed now after last nights storm....the park lost a large tree right in front of 6's new tee box on the other side of the creek and some large branches on the park side. People are saying we had 80 - 100 mph winds.

It was mega windy east of Manhattan last night. A 20' ornamental tree of mine got blown over, including (shallow) roots. Plus a 40'-50' tree of my neighbors got cracked off at the base & came crashing down... I'm curious to see how Fairmont weathered the storm...

i only saw a few branches down on the main course.

Rick Petrie   11 hours ago

Whew! Those are the fragile ones that always concern me. Thanks for the report.

on the new course pictures I was fighting darkness....will try to get some better ones tomorrow and I'm also having trouble changing the number of holes on the course information from 9 to 18 so some of the holes have the wrong number according to disc golf scene.

ALERT: I lost my black Jupiter Oakleys Thursday night! :( If you find them or hear of someone that found them, please let me know. I am willing to give a reward (not a pair of Oakleys lol, but I'm sure we could work something out). Thanks

Is there a way people can get pre-registered / pre-paid? OR is it all going to be walk-up?

Mark Kewley   1 day ago

Are you giving away 4 pair of Merrells?

Damen W   1 day ago

I don 't think mace is going to have pre-registration...it'll probably just be walk up and it's only one pair of merrell's, but there is also $35 to sonic, and $40 to gambinos

kdga under forum then schedule, thats a good starter

Mark Kewley   2 days ago

If you go to DFOK.US there are links on the left side to KDGA events and PDGA events

Rick Petrie   2 days ago

When on the KDGA site, don't just look at the "OZ Tour ... Information", reason being there are a lot of fun tournaments that are not on the "Oz Tour". For example, our 3-Disc Challenge, the Sunflower State Games, stuff in Neb... In other words look here too --> http://kansasdiscgolf.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=20

Turns out I'm pretty awful about leaving discs around on courses. If you've found a yellow crystal z buzz with a rainbow break the chains stamp at Warner in the past few days, please let me know!

In today's mail was the check from Millennium Golf Discs for last weekend's DFOK Fairmont Fundraiser Tournament.
( http://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/DFOK_Fairmont_Fundraiser_Millennium_Discs_3_Disc_Challenge_2013 )

Later this evening (when I get more free time) I will post a financial summary of how last weekend's tournament benefitted our Fairmont Disc Golf Course expansion project.

I'm currently trying to get some extra spending cash for a trip to an orientation for a camp I'm working at this summer in Arkansas. It looks like I've got to sell some discs in order to do so. Message me if you are looking for something in particular and maybe I can hook someone up. Thanks!

You can specify "Local Trade Only". It will work fine.

Rick Petrie   May 7 at 10:26pm

... I meant "Local Sale Only".

Travis Bailey   May 8 at 12:53am

Yeah, I will probably put the effort into that tomorrow. Good idea. Thanks!

Mark Kewley    May 6 at 10:33pm

The DiscGolfKansas.com Drive Analysis fundraiser for Fairmont Park First of all, DiscGolfKansas.com is not a business. It is just a domain name I own that usually points at DFOK stuff & etc. It just sounds more credible than “The Mark Kewley Drive Analysis”. How it works: I will film you throwing drives and provide you with a DVD containing video of you at full speed and in slow motion. Example: http://youtu.be/FpQV_OAy8b0 Actual videos will be better quality. If you want to ... more

Mark, I think anybody can link an "album" of theirs to the "photo" tab of the tournament. Just go to your album, then look for the "Event" button to tie them together.

A donation to the DFOK Fairmont Expansion Project from the 2012 -2013 Glow League.
Today at the DFOK Fairmont Fundraiser Tournament the “basket illumination” fund was turned over to Rick Petrie to go towards the DFOK portion of expense for the project. The short version is DFOK has $61 more for Fairmont. More Information: http://home.wamego.net/kewley/dfok/documents/glow2012-2013.pdf

Thanks to all who helped run today's Fairmont Fundraiser Tournament. Thanks to all who signed up and played in todays tournament too.

Your participation and hard work is helping us get closer to getting that course built!

Last but not least, my apologies to anyone who I could not complete a conversation with. Duty called often. I look forward to seeing you again soon!

Don't forget to bring an extra $5 spot to by (optional) "Dot Dollars".
It's an opportunity to "erase" some of your bad throws today, and help expand a disc golf course.

Rise & shine everyone. Today's a great day to raise some money for our Fairmont Disc Golf Expansion Project.

Rain or shine, I look forward to seeing all of you at the course today!
