The above is a link to the responsible sports grant page where Flat Rock is applying for a $2500 grant to run some youth programing.

To get the grant we need as many people to take the responsible sports quiz as either a Parent, Coach or both. Each time someone takes the quiz and applies it to the Flat Rock Disc Golf club we get closer to winning one of seven grants.
We are the only disc golf club applying and we only need to get in the top seven to win the grant.
As of today 10/26/2010 @ 8am if we get 100 more people to take the quiz that would put us into the top seven.
If 50 people took both quizes that would put us in the top seven.
It Takes About Ten Minutes
Liberty Mutual Insurance co is where the grant comes from but you DO Not have to accept/choose to receive information from them in order for your quiz to count.

Thank you in advance
Sean & Helen Franchi

Phantom Cutters

Today I found that there has been some illegal cutting here at Tully Lake. I got a report this afternoon that there was a tree down at hole 15's basket. I went down to document it, noticed tire tracks in the lawn leading down the first hole and into 15's fairway, and realized that the tree had been cut with a chainsaw. It was the pine that was directly in front of the basket, one of the major course features on that hole. I am very dissapointed and upset that this has happened. This was an illeg ... more

Today I found that there has been some illegal cutting here at Tully Lake. I got a report this afternoon that there was a tree down at hole 15's basket. I went down to document it, noticed tire tracks in the lawn leading down the first hole and into 15's fairway, and realized that the tree had been cut with a chainsaw. It was the pine that was directly in front of the basket, one of the major course features on that hole. I am very dissapointed and upset that this has happened. This was an illegal activity, there is to be NO cutting of any type on Army Corps of Engineers land without approval. Besides that, there is no altering of the course in any way unless approved by me or my boss. Please help me to keep the course on the straight and narrow, if this continues then there will be major repercussions. If you have any info on this incident please contact me. Thank you everyone that is responsible while having fun out there.

Sincerely,

Volunteers

Hello everyone. Just giving everybody an update on current volunteer stuff. We rocked the house during the month of April logging almost 70 hours total of volunteer effort. That is huge you guys, everyone deserves a thank you that was lending a hand getting the course ready for the Tully Tournament. May was a little slow but that was expected because I think everyone had to recover. Keep logging those hours and dont forget to report them to me! Thanks again everyone.

First Annual Monthly Tournament

We will be starting our first monthly tournament this saturday at Tully Lake. I hope that the water will be down enough so we can play a full round, we will have to deal with what we find.

Volunteers...

Just a little reminder that volunteers are limited to no-impact services (litter pick up, raking and shoveling) without my approval ( e.g. tree pruning/ removal, tee pad construction, use of power tools, etc.) Thanks everyone for making our course beautiful.

Volunteer Hours and Teepads

Howdy everyone. So we are starting a new year here and I wanted to keep everyone updated on current happenings. I have put in a request for a permit that will allow us to do a monthly tournament at Tully, possibly first or last sunday of the month type thing. I recieved a reply from Jeff at Tully saying that it was totally fine to have a running permit for the summer and that it was also possible to work off the permit fee that would be required for each tournament.

Howdy everyone. So we are starting a new year here and I wanted to keep everyone updated on current happenings. I have put in a request for a permit that will allow us to do a monthly tournament at Tully, possibly first or last sunday of the month type thing. I recieved a reply from Jeff at Tully saying that it was totally fine to have a running permit for the summer and that it was also possible to work off the permit fee that would be required for each tournament. Therefore, everyone needs to get and fill out a volunteer agreement form that I have and return it to me. From there anyone that does any sort of volunteer work up at Tully needs to keep track of their time invested and report it to me. Everything from picking up trash or tree limbs or shovelling teepads can be logged, even 15 minutes will help because we only need a total of 3 volunteer hours to waive the fee for each month. Good times with the free tournaments. On a side note I agree with Sean about the metal footgear that is scratching the teepads, please refrain from using the pads if you are wearing those items, but also I probably put a couple of those scratches on there myself when I was chipping the ice off them yesterday, tried to be gentle.... but that ice is certainly tenacious. Good luck in the snow all you die hards out there... Spotters Recommended :)

Tee Pad Presevation

To all who use spikes or yak tracks... Adam and I were there yesterday playing a round and we noticed many scratches on the new brick tee pads. As a request, I would like to propose that anyone using said spikes or yak tracks or any other METAL traction devices please refrain from (do not) tee off from the cleared tee pads. Either tee from a snow covered area near the tee or remove the metal from the bottom of your shoe. Thank you for understanding...

Course improvement?

Does the last post have anything to do with that ridiculous pile of wood chips scattered all over what used to be a nice flat green on hole 5. Maybe everyone should stop changing things at there leisure and play disc instead. Its starting to look ridiculous. Why dont we cut all of the trees down and play in a big ass field? Oooh now that sounds like fun.

Tully Committee

Recent events have uncovered the need of a "Committee" to be formed. Hopefully, this will be the best way to continue our efforts towards club/course improvement. It really isn't fair to have all the decisions be made by one person and to have that one person take all the blame from the few people in the group that may be unhappy with that final decision. Therefore, I suggest we submit names to be a part of an active committee headed by a president. This way issues of any kind can be brought ... more

Therefore, I suggest we submit names to be a part of an active committee headed by a president. This way issues of any kind can be brought to the attention of a committee member, who could bring this issue to the president, who could then bring this issue to the rest of the committee to vote and resolve the issue as a group.
If you have nominations for such a committee please submit a list of names, 10 or less, to myself or Bill Mehr and we will ask the most popular nominees to be apart of this.

Also, planning for the Octoberfest party/tourny has begun. I am speculating Oct. 25 for this as long as it is acceptable for the majority. I am thinking about holding the BBQ at my house if there are no objections, this is open for disscusion. More news will come as details are worked out. There is a slight possibility that Tully Tags may be available by this time but we will see.
I will do my best to keep everyone informed of any new information as soon as it is definitive.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any ideas or questions regarding Octoberfest. Otherwise we will see you on Sat 9/26

Weekend Happenings

So the way its looking is that we are going to try and take out that huge rock in the middle of the current tee at 4 and place the new pad slightly behind where the line is now. So its not going to be set as far back as we had initially thought but instead what we are going to do is move the basket on 4 back about 20-30 ft, birdie alley is gonna get difficult boys

League player lists

I hope this isn't too much to ask, but... Would everyone start taking a card with them during leagues? If you write your name and email on your card (along w/ your score) and turn them in at the end of the round we will be able to post scores and eventually fill up the list.

I think this will be the easiest way to get everyone in the leagues onto the lists to post scores. They will be able to create a profile after one round if they want.

Thank you and spread the word.

Sean "Cupcake" Curcio   July 7, 2009 at 8:37am

Players list

Anyone wanting to be added to the list of players should send a message to Sean Curcio with your name and email address. This will make it easier to post scores and make everyone aware of any new news. Also, be sure to add Tully Disc Golf Club to your favorite clubs.
Thank you
