**AMES' COURSES**
From Scott Carpenter:
"Yep, I've played both of the Ames courses one time on the way up to Minnesota four years ago. Oh, there was a lot of mud on both of them.
Carroll Marty - I'm kind of surprised this course is only rated 3.50, because I really liked it. I suppose what gets it dinged is its length, even from the "pro" tees. But IMO the wooded holes, transition holes, and elevation makes up for it. Something that you're going to see the ...

Disc Golf is once again in the top 1/4 for sport club point standings! Points are awarded to clubs for being highly active and organized (completing required paperwork on time, attending officer meetings, fundraising, traveling, hosting events). The point standings system is a factor in determining our annual SCC Budget Allocation.
We are currently sitting in 7th out of 29 total club teams with 190 points. Keep up the good work guys!

**OFFICIAL DISCUSSION THREAD - ALTERNATE SELECTION PROCESS**
Please leave suggestions/ideas for a back-up plan for determining the team that will be competing in Ames, IA in the event that the snow/weather prevents the completion of tryout rounds.
When and where are we going to vote? Obviously majority of us want to vote so I say we get started on that as soon as possible to make sure we can work around everyones schedule and get everyone at the meeting.
We can try to have a meeting this Thursday. It seems like most of us are usually able to make it to those meetings.

Got everybody's names and numbers organized and jersey sizes noted. Should be able to place the order within the week or beginning of next week. Any last minute changes, be sure to let me know.

Merry Christmas to you guys! I appreciate each and every one of you and am proud to be apart of such a passionate team.

Guys, continue to ask for sponsorship help. We are hundreds of dollars short for the next few upcoming tournaments. We desperately need support from family and friends!
Thanks!
Just to point out, however, the recogntion on jerseys is pretty much out of the question at this point. We got the $100 from Discs Unlimited so I told them that I'd put their logo on the backside. The "Bronze" level sponsorship of $25 would still be acceptable.
Yep, but we could put some type of thank you to donators up on here and Facebook and all that jazz. Just because the recognition isn't there doesn't mean we shouldn't ask.
Good point. Also, I received some contact information for another potential fundraiser. Travis Redeker sent us who to contact about working the concessions stand in Bramlage for a night.

**OFFICIAL DISCUSSION THREAD - JERSEYS**
Here is a link to The Graphic Edge website for performance shirts: http://thegraphicedge.com/catalog/garments.asp?i=256
I deffinetly agree on being cheap. Just to make sure though, this is the only place we can order from?
Not the only place. Just one of the first I had found that is reasonably priced and doesn't have a ridiculous minimum quantity. They also must be on this list of Licensees: http://www.k-state.edu/logos/lrg-current-licensees.pdf

Practice will be in the MAC Gym at the Rec again tomorrow, same time! I will also be bringing some samples for an official KSUDGC mark which will be showcased on our 2013-14 season jerseys. Bring your putters!
Josh Carroll November 7, 2013 at 7:33pm
Sorry for the late notice, but we will be meeting tonight, November 7 at 6:00pm in 401B Conference Room at Hale Library (4th Floor). See you all there!

Vinyl Banner sale is on again! Unless we pay for faster shipping we wouldn't get it here in time for the tournament so maybe Thursday we could discuss having a banner and Josh you should bring a copy of the design you made up to the meeting. Here is the link to the deal. http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/105524/build-a-sign---3x6-personalized-vinyl-banner
I went ahead and jumped the gun on this deal, I called Build-A-Sign to make sure they were still offering the November special. I submitted the artwork and went ahead and paid for the banner myself. If the club likes it and wants to claim the banner for KSUDGC use, we can vote to have club funds r ... more

Yeah. We can discuss it on Thursday. (And really, I don't plan on spending more than 20 dollars for the cost of lunch)
Josh, even if the club paid for it it would be pointless for you to go buy the stuff anyway. I can just pick it up with club cash when I get the rest of the supplies. Haha, why add that extra reimbursing step?
Doesn't matter to me, we can vote on specifics at the club meeting.

**OFFICIAL DISCUSSION THREAD - CAT CLASH RAFFLE ITEMS**
I'll be donating a couple discs, one purple and one white... 1 Purple Discraft Buzzz and 1 White Legacy Cannon (wabash cannon?)
The wife and I will also be donating 2 K-State Basketball tickets for their game on Nov. 13th. Look for a special sign-up for a chance at these... (to make sure they go to someone who will use them).

It is my understanding that there is neither finances nor interest in going to Austin, TX for the regional qualifier tournament. For those who did not hear the news, Iowa State decided to postpone their qualifier tournament until spring since the planning wasn't where it needed to be to successfully host it at this time. Stay tuned for further updates regarding the agenda looking forward.

At our tournament I'm not sure how raffle tickets will be sold but you could sell them by using the raffle tickets as a mulligan and you can have up to 18 mulligans but can buy as many raffle tickets as you want. Say 1 ticket for 1$, 9 tickets for 7$, 18 tickets for 15$ or some other denominations that make more sense. We should have buckets in front of each item being raffled off that they want. Just some thoughts on that.
Mulligans aren't going to fly (orders of the TD) :P Travis has already mentioned that he is very anti-mulligan. But thanks for the raffle suggestions, I think I've heard of that system where they can put the tickets down for the items that they want.

Pardon the late acknowledgement, but I'd like to thank everybody that gave up time and energy to get the Yellowbook phonebooks delivered last week. Many of you sacrificed several hours each day to get these books distributed on time and I wanted you to know that your hard work is appreciated.
Thanks to Travis for discovering the opportunity, our club raised a total of $283.55 from the phonebook distribution fundraiser. Thanks for your hard work guys:
Travis, David, Tim, Jacob, Jeff, and ...

Hey guys about a week ago I mentioned a vinyl banner we could get on the cheap. Here is a link for all the details on how to get the deal http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/103850/build-a-sign---3x6-personalized-vinyl-banner . Pretty much we can get a 3 x 6 foot banner with any design we want for 19$, free shipping. If we get a design put together we could even have this for the tournament we are hosting.
I like the idea. I threw together a quick sample of a possible banner design. What do you all think: http://www.discgolfscene.com/media/198808_g.jpg
Oh...well I just checked the link and it said the offer for the banner has expired.
Dang it! Well I'll keep an eye out for it again in the future. That it is one slick banner though!

**OFFICIAL DISCUSSION THREAD - UPCOMING QUALIFIER**
Yeah what David said was what I thought we were doing. The final decision is made by the Iowa people. Also I too dont remember us "officially" voting on it. We just talked about it.
so are we dropping the TX one? because I need to know so I can tell my aunt if we are still staying there or not.
He also provided some links some YouTube videos of the courses - Carroll Marty (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjwFsBZoDdo, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D_UTzPkDFQ, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMjmyz5yqog) and Stable Run (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tvaElmRzRM)
