We have started a women's club for the state, if any of you ladies are interested in joining up. We would like to be able to get the girls that love this game together playing some rounds.

I know it seems a ways off, but its not. Huktoberfest is less than a month away and I am starting to freak out. I need help! Here's what I need.

Sponsorship. We have money coming out for reserving the fairgrounds, PDGA sanctioning and players fees, special events licensing, players packs, etc.. I need help to cover those costs or the payout's gonna be slim pickin's. If you know of someone who could sponsor the event, ask them! It doesn't have to be cash, gift certif ... more

I need help to cover those costs or the payout's gonna be slim pickin's. If you know of someone who could sponsor the event, ask them! It doesn't have to be cash, gift certificates and merchandise is great!

I need 15 more baskets. Please let me know ASAP if you have one or more I can use. Also, we need extension cords, let me know if you have some you can part with (make sure to put your name on them). We can only have fires in the park if they are in the above ground fire pits. Let me know if you have one we can use. I would like at least 3.

On Friday, October 14th, I have to set up an entire 18 holes course with s$*!loads of OB to mark. Also, the course is gonna have Halloween stuff up all over. I need some helpers to get the course ready. I need help setting up and taking down both on Friday and Saturday. I need help with registration and running the leaderboard. I need help with the alternate events like CTP's and the Ring of Fire.

I was just filling out the sanctioning info for Huktoberfest and was thinking how much funner it would be to have the event as a two day PDGA event with a night tournament on Saturday night between the rounds rather than a Friday night tournament and a PDGA event on just Saturday. I have been going back and forth so I thought I would put it to a vote. Let me know what you think by Tuesday and whatever gets the most votes wins.

If any of you are wanting to play Bengal Ridge up in Pocatello this year there is a 36 hole tournament on September 10th being held there that is run by me. My brother is also is helping out and says he has been working hard on adding cash and prizes so it should be worth the trip. You can find more info on it at pvdgc.org

Ashley Hall    August 18, 2011 at 10:38am

I see you have 3 Open women signed up for Solitude this year!! I really wish I could play it. I plan to return to the tourneys next year, hope you all have fun at Solitude.

Altitude Disc Golf    August 18, 2011 at 6:24am

Solitude is still on! Come play a round on Thursday. We will be set up down towards the bottom to the left of hole 18. You can register for the tourney, play one of the greatest courses in Utah, or just hang out and see what 5,000 discs looks like. One change from our last post, we will not be there at 10am, the time has shifted to high noon at the request of Solitude. See you there!

Altitude Disc Golf    August 16, 2011 at 7:21pm

All right, Full Throttle at Solitude is this weekend. We will be up there with the entire stash on Thursday. We've got a lot more than what we had at the Riverpark Open. We will be up there from 10am to 6pm (or longer if needed). Come play a round on Thursday before the tourney and check out what close to 5000 discs looks like. Biggest selection in Utah with the best prices. Call if you want us to hold anything for you. 801-820-7750.

Here is an email that Craig Myrick received yesterday concerning the course at Art Dye:

Craig,

I hope it's okay to contact you about the Art Dye Disc Golf Course.

I'm new to the sport, and recently played the Art Dye course in American Fork, where I regularly fly RC planes. Seeing all the guys walking into the woods with frisbees is how I got interested.

Here is an email that Craig Myrick received yesterday concerning the course at Art Dye:

Craig,

I hope it's okay to contact you about the Art Dye Disc Golf Course.

I'm new to the sport, and recently played the Art Dye course in American Fork, where I regularly fly RC planes. Seeing all the guys walking into the woods with frisbees is how I got interested.

Anyway, I noticed on almost all of the web sites pertaining to disc golf that our course at Art Dye is heavily criticized as being both terribly messy, and very difficult to navigate for newcomers. I concur with those points. My son has been looking for something to do for his eagle project for scouting, and I suggested doing a clean-up project for the Art Dye course, and laying down new markers for many of the difficult to see launch points.

We got the project approved with AF city and plan on doing the project this Saturday evening, August 6th, starting around 5:30 p.m.

I you know of any way to advertise this to the guys who play that course, it'd be super cool to get some adult help hauling out some of the larger trash heap things in those woods so we can load them on trailers and get that junk out of there. Do you have a contact list of any sort, emails or phone numbers, or a forum where this could be posted? I know my son would be excited to see some frisbee golfers show up to help.

The one thing it'd be nice to have is one of the Team Utah leaders come out and support us, at the very least help us figure out what to do with the launch points that are missing on hole #1 and some of the others that just aren't there any more (due to the city's tractors plowing them under). That'd be sweet.

Please call me when you get this message.

New disc from Gresham OR. just arrived today: The Skyquest Medusa. Spent the morning throwing it and wasn't disappointed. Plastic is very tacky and is easy to snap off the finger, however the disc feels durable (still testing it) like star or ESP plastic. Disc has lots of glide and has a great flight path. Check it out:

Rick Wardell    April 11, 2011 at 7:49pm

Found some on Redwood road. Google is a wonderfull thing.
http://www.akrailroad.com/railroad-ties 1-800-453-8812 Dont know what they cost.

Rick Wardell    April 11, 2011 at 7:37pm

There was a place in Ogden that sells railroad ties. Not sure if it is still there. I will check on my way home. Hopefully I will remember to look.

Dave Roper    April 8, 2011 at 8:19am

The tournament registration is FULL. I've started a waitlist, so let me know if you want to be added. The first few will most likely make it in the event, but I have to wait for the postmarked registration forms to come in.

Dave Roper    April 6, 2011 at 7:34pm

The Creekside Open is now 80% full and only 10 days away. Don't wait any longer to register. I'm going to shut down the online registration in the next couple days.

Kyle Shannon    April 6, 2011 at 7:06am

Altitude will be at the Swap Meet at the Motor View drive-in in Riverdale, (located right by Riverpark DGC). Come up this Saturday, April 9th to check us out. We will have all of our plastic there, along with bags, and other stuff. After checking us out, take in a round at riverpark. It doesn't get much better than that.

Dave Roper    April 3, 2011 at 9:43pm

Thanks to everyone who pitched in yesterday and today at the Creeky. 3B is better than ever (Great idea Rich).

Dave Roper    April 2, 2011 at 4:52pm

Thanks Big Wave, Does anyone else have recommendations? I've got a list now.
