I used the Schedule a Round on the main page to make a group for the work day on August 3rd. I thought we could get a virtual head count.

For those of you who do not follow the "News" tab from Disc Fanatics of Kansas you might want to read tonight's posting about Fairmont Park. ( http://www.discgolfscene.com/clubs/Disc_Fanatics_of_Kansas/news )
We are one step closer!
Also, please consider finding time in your schedule for Tomorrow evening (6:30p) and/or Saturday morning (9:00a) to finalize pin placements. Then again Aug. 3rd & 4th to help with the big workdays.
Thanks,
Rick
In other words, nearly all of the placements should be going pretty much right where the current wood lath is located. However some will need to be fine tuned for their final location.
Rain or shine tonight is still on. (it's not like we're trying to play a round of golf or even throw discs... it's just a little design work. Hope to see y'll there.
Thanks to everyone whomade it to Fairmont last night. Be sure to consider attending Saturday morning (starting at 9:00am) to get the exact spots forfinalized for construction.

Myself and Austin are heading down to Emporia tomorrow to play Jones East, West, and Peter Pan with some lunch in between somewhere. I have two more spots in my truck, three if you don't mind a tough squeeze. If anyone's interested in going give me a call or text @ 337-378-7262. Should be a good day for disc!
Mitchell Brenn grabbed a spot, only 1 left! 2 if you wanna ride knee to knee, haha.
Hey that's where I work! I would totally join but I'll be working til about noon.

I stopped by Fairmont Park after work today (which happens more often than not now) to check for progress.
More specifically, today I wanted to see if any of the underground utilities have been marked. Bad news: They are not.
Result: By them not being marked by now, it is becoming less & less likely the holes will get dug (drilled by bobcat) in time for a big workday this coming weekend (to install ground sleeves).
The final decision probably won't be made until Wednesday or Thursday, so I'll just have to keep you posted (here).

Mitchell Brenn
Jon Tveite
Jake Straight
Grant Wisdom
Austin Cranston
John Hindle

Also in attendance was
Adam Johnson

It was decided we should play as one large group in order to fully enjoy the experience. The first round was a straight up ro ...

Anyone up for Tuttle today?
There is a round scheduled for 2:00 at Fairmont. It might be the last organized round there on the old layout.
William Mitchell July 21, 2013 at 7:13am
Anyone going to Little River, KS for they're relief tournament?
I'll be there! Coming up from hometown Hutchinson with some of the local guys. It'd be great to see some Manhattan folk there, if only to check out this gem of a course! If you can't make it tomorrow, be sure to keep the weekend of August 17-18th open. Hutchinson's Salt City Open on Saturday and Little River's Redskin Rendezvous on Sunday, both KDGA Oz Tour events.

So, I managed to FRY my phone today. What a pain in the neck!
In other words, don't bother calling or texting me until you hear otherwise. (at least I've still got my home computer)
I actually "fixed" my phone! I watched some YouTube videos then tore into it! I had nothing to lose & thought "why not?"
Jon Tveite July 19, 2013 at 8:13pm
There has been some interest expressed in playing the original Fairmont layout as a group before the course redesign becomes permanent. Holes that will be completely going away: #2, #4, #6, #9. Holes that will be substantially changed: #3, #5.
How about sometime on Sunday? My preference would be late morning or early afternoon. Any thoughts? If I don't get any feedback by this evening I will just pick a time and post it here.
I'm going to play at 2:00. Be there or be square, as some used to say.
Anybody interested in taking some baskets out to play some front nine holes?
Alan Fox July 19, 2013 at 5:13am
Alan Fox and Michael King took 5th with -1
Ross Jones and John Heley took 4th with -4
Scott Collins and Billy Mitchell took 3rd with -5
Mitch Brenn and Grant Wisdom took 2nd with -11
And 1st place goes to Jake Strait and Mark Kewley shooting -12
Nice job guys had a blast
Most people have a few discs that they want to trade. I think it would be cool to have a monthly "League" where we play this format.
I liked this format a lot. I always have a few decent discs just not being used and this was a great way to "play and trade." Also I liked that everyone got something at the end, even if you got last place.
Mark Kewley July 18, 2013 at 6:57am
FYI: I will be in Westmoreland on Friday afternoon if anyone wants to meet at the park for a round.
I'm headed there to take care of vehicle registration. I should be in the park in around an hour.

Sorry for all the mixed-up News posts regarding this week's meeting.
The meeting is set for:
Wednesday, July 17th, 5:45pm
Manhattan Public Library, 629 Poyntz Ave.
Rick Petrie July 16, 2013 at 2:54am
Anybody else hear that? It's the sound of our new Innova disc golf equipment making their way from the South Carolina plant.
Later tonight I'll post official DFOK News outlining or upcoming work days, plus a DFOK Meeting set for Wednesday night.
Alan Fox July 16, 2013 at 2:25am
This Thursday at 530 let's play a blind draw doubles night.... bring a DISC you want to put in the pile. Who ever wins gets first pick out the pile second gets second pick and so on. Who's down?

For anyone who may be interested, the Sunflower State Games publishes results on their own page.
Check here to view them. --> http://www.sunflowergames.com/2013results
I wish they posted all of the scores, rather than just the top three places. But considering all the scores for all the sports involved in the SSG, I can't blame them.
Yeah, that would be nice. Did you ever hear how many total participants this event pulled in?
There were 80 total players on the Saturday doubles day. I did not hear the total from Sunday's singles event. I'm guessing there was 60 or so Sunday.
Darian Thomas July 14, 2013 at 9:58pm
Anyone up for playing a round at Tuttle
Rick Petrie July 14, 2013 at 7:58am

Has anybody played at holton how is the course?
Not me, but I'm very curious. It would be a place for me to play when I go that way to visit family. It would be great to get a review from you so I know what it's like. :-)
Jacob Strait July 12, 2013 at 3:10am
Anyone playing at Tuttle tonight?
Good plan Mark. I'll go "RSVP".
Yep there it is --> http://www.discgolfscene.com The more the merrier... and the quicker we can play the New & Improved Fairmont Park DG Course!
