Hey Everyone, I don't have permission to create a "new" DFOK league on Disc Golf Scene, so that is why you don't see 2013 Manhattan Area Discgolf Doubles on the DFOK page. The 2013 Doubles League DOES exist though! We started last night with 15 players! The scores are already posted. Currently the 2013 Manhattan Area Discgolf Doubles is listed as an LCM event on Disc Golf Scene, but it is not really and LCM event.
In my opinion need to set down and further discuss this as a group. I think this is one example of why we need to start having regularly scheduled monthly DFOK meetings... otherwise we will become more unorganized & fragmented.

Hey everyone! I'll be bringing some K-State discs to Warner Wednesday. We're trying to get rid of all our inventory, so bring $20 and get yourself a Powercat custom stamped disc (Polaris LS or Astra). Funds will be used to support our squad who will be traveling to St. Louis this weekend for the Gateway Collegiate Classic to try and qualify for the 2013 NCDGC!
i will take 2 of them a polaris and astra but will be at work,any chance to meet up another day, or maybe come by taco lucha(im the head cook) and i will buy 2
Done and done! I'll swing by before Warner league and get you hooked up

We are asking the Lions Club on Monday to buy 7 more baskets...which will get us to 18!!

Since it turned into a nice afternoon, I went to Fairmont. I picked up an unmarked disc. Describe it and I'll get it back to you.
Actually, it looks like it was mine. Magenta Lat 64 River, Opto plastic. 171g? Probably in the parking lot from my awful drive on hole 9?

Anyone want to do a tag round at Tuttle on Sunday if the weather's good enough?
RevKev had posted a while back: Tuesday, March 12th. Looks like this Tuesday!
If anyone likes, I'll be at Tuttle for a tag round at 1:00 tomorrow afternoon. If the weather's bad I'll post on here an hour prior. Hope it's a nice day!
Not gonna go out today, was hoping the weather would be better. I'm recovering from a bug, and I don't think todays weather is going to help with that, haha. See everyone Tuesday for Doubles!

Is there no Little Apple Open this year? I looked around a bit and couldn't find any info.
Zane, Did I read that right? "I'll be moving back to the Olathe area"?
You sure did Rick. Lisa got a great job offer and we are headed back asap. I'll try to make it to Manhattan as much as I can but hopefully I can talk some of you guys into KC trips too.

2012-2013 Glow League wrap-up
It was a good ending to the season tonight. The wind calmed down and it was pretty nice out there. We played from basket to basket the first time around, then safari holes picked by the pad owner.
The flashlight in the milk jug luminaries were a success. The initial batteries are still going after 10 rounds! I’m going to donate the items I bought. I need to talk with others that supplied equipment to see if they want reimbursed.

I turned in the $61 from the glow league to Rick today. It will go into the DFOK Fairmont fund since we dont have a real "club treasury" yet.

Tomorrow is ***THE LAST GLOW LEAGE ROUND EVER***, this season. Tee time is 6:30 at Fairmont.
Rick Petrie March 3, 2013 at 6:02am
Anybody made it out to Warner since the last snow fall? If so how are the tee pads looking?
(I was just wondering if the tee pads need to be scraped free of snow / ice for league tomorrow?)
I played on Friday. Most tee-pads have at least some dry cement.
Thanks for the reports from the field. Those conditions are what I was afraid of (esp. 2, 6, 9).. I'll bring tools if anybody wants to show up early today to help clean tee pads...
Mark Kewley February 26, 2013 at 6:55pm
Glow in the snow? I was thinking about just going around 1 time. Anyone in?
ya i got me and 2 for sure and maybe 1 who is about to play for his first time we will be there playin bout 5 10
Glow in the snow was a blast! Almost didn't need lights out there.
Agreed you proved it when you threw your driver without turning your light on haha

I want to send a special Thank You to everyone who attended today's DFOK Winter Bag Tag & Points league event.
We did ourselves a big favor for being such a well organized & well behaved club/league today. Making good impressions with other members of our community will always help further our sport in the area... A little positive Disc Golf PR will go a long way.
For those of you who were not in attendance, multiple people from the family who owns The Pathfinder outdoor store ...

Looks like a good forecast for glow league tomorrow night.

Reminder: Group design round this afternoon at Fairmont Park. Starting at 1:30pm then come & go as you wish.
Mark Kewley February 10, 2013 at 5:20am
We should all thank Rick for providing the signs that are being used for the Fairmont design work. I'm sure he spent quite a bit of time + his own money for materials.

By the way... I spoke to Riley Co. again this week. They are unsure if they want the fairway sponsorship dollars go through their accounts, or have us handle those dollars somehow. There are more pros than cons in having the RL Co. accountants receive the funds. The two biggest benefits are:
1. As a government agency, they would not have to pay sales taxes on the baskets & misc. equipment.
2. Asking individuals & businesses to donate to our club is a tougher sell than to donate to the ...

I tried to follow your layout tonight but it got dark before i figured it out. my # is 620-680-0575 if anybody has time Thanks

The highlight of the backward glow round at Fairmont tonight was Adam Johnson’s near ACE on the CTP hole. Playing from basket 5 to basket 4, he nailed the facemask and the disc dropped and sat under the basket.
Good Stuff!
thanks! it was definetly some beginners luck on newish course.
We didn't use baskets #3 or #9, but there were still some long and interesting holes, e.g. #2 to #1 (watch out, people on #7 and #8!), and #4 to #2. #7 to #6 was tricky because of the big cedar bush (you could only see the light from certain angles).

Light Bulb Moment!
As many of you know, our Sunday league ended today with a couple hours of daylight remaining.
So I thought I would run over to Fairmont Park and see if anything is going on in the expansion area.
Adam was there working on his concept layout. Cool! This excited me because I knew he would be working on a "reverse" layout. In other words, entering and exiting the expansion area in the opposite locations we've used thus far.
I will let Adam debut his "r ...

Can't wait!
I will be there
Oooo sign me up for a crystal buzzz!!
that was my thought can't ever go wrong with a buzzz
Is this still happening? I can't find the registration anywhere and was looking at possibly making it out to Manhattan that weekend.
I think he said he just hasn't made the page for it last night at league. He said it should be up by the end of the week. It's still on!
Cool, It would be a really good excuse for me to make the trip to Manhattan now that I am back in KC. I'll do my best to make it out.
