Just got confirmation that the packages have been shipped, and are expected to arrive tomorrow. And I need to double-check with Discraft, but at this point, they have issued a rather significant shipping charge overage refund, which if accurate means that I'll already clear a $300+ donation from this year's event to Wadsworth Disc Golf. I'm really hoping to convert this donation into tangible change by the end of the year via bulletin board, step completion, red & white tee kickboard lines for each hole, and hopefully a few more holes, leading to a hopeful full 18 without waiting too much longer.
I'm also in conversation with the City of Wadsworth for permission to run weekly doubles on Saturday mornings in September and October. However, they seem to be against granting permission unless a greater percentage of the pot goes to benefit the club. I am trying to assure them that this is how it's basically done everywhere: Medina, Massillon, Canton, Portage, Wingfoot, Hudson, Euclid, Parma, etc. etc. So hopefully they'll see the benefit of the proposed structure, and I will be able to announce that it is a go by the Ace Race. Stay Tuned.

That's great news! I'd love to see Wadsworth expanded....
Refund on shipping confirmed. Big Shout-out to the Discraft peeps who make this so easy to put together. I've tried to keep the costs down to basics like striping paint, sharpies, scorecard printing, and ziploc baggies to put all the small parts of the package together, and everything after my costs nets out to a donation to Wadsworth Disc Golf, who will use it for course improvements.
