Looks like you guys lost a lot of players this year.. sorry to see that. I miss being out there with everyone. Apparently I am not missing much, except a lot of bull$#!= Politics can do that to people. Especially when its a dictatorship.

How did I just find this news talk section??!!!

As for peoples oppinions on drinking, smoking, and how league is run I am glad to hear them being said someone where everyone can see. I personally dont have a problem with people doing what they want, but discretion should be used.

Your argument has a huge hole in it. That would be the fact that just or not, pot is illegal. Even if you have your card it's still illegal to smoke it in public. It's still illegal and irresponsible to smoke it in front of children. Such flagrant illegal activity is bad for disc golf clubs. Patrick is well within the realm of reason to request that smokers use discretion while breaking a law.

What I want to know is why u are trying to parent other peoples children and why u think its ok for a child to learn how to gamble. 9 weeks and u will have one less person out there medicating them self to null the pain there body goes thew so they can have a good time. Must be your medication must come in a pill form for it to be ok. Sorry I don't want pills or alcohol eating away my stomach

Before u have people thinking I'm some inconsiderate prick I know this kid and his parents I respect there wishes to be educated about it and not ignorant about it. If it was someone else's kid I would have totally agreed with u. Some where in the argument i didn't hear u ask to step off to the side now if u would of started with that it wouldn't have been a problem. I don't need people telling me what I can and can't do

Frankly as a club this issue has already been debated and discussed.
I do not care what your habits are, if your a pot head, a drunk, or what ever. No one really does.
I do have an issue with anyone doing drugs in front of kids its unacceptable. If this makes me controlling or petty because I wont tolerate it then so be it.

I do not care if you have a Pot card, I've already posted the Michigan statue law on what that card allows you to do. I also do not care if the kid has se ... more

I do not care if you have a Pot card, I've already posted the Michigan statue law on what that card allows you to do. I also do not care if the kid has seen it before, or you do it in front of this kid all the time. Any kid on the course has no reason to be subject to your bad habits. I thought I was being generous enough when I asked that you guys go to woods, do what you have to do and come back.. but no instead you light it up and pass it back and forth around a kid.

If the people we are loosing in the league/club are people who have no respect for others especially other peoples children. Then its not really a loss. Disc golf is suppose to be a family sport, and I myself try and promote it as such. Hard to do when parents cant take their kids out with out the fear of pot heads passing them a joint, or passing a joint around them.

I will not argue and debate over this issue any farther, Anyone who knows me or has even been around CDGA, knows my stance on the issue, and to be fair the first person to tell you it wasn't right and not to do it wasn't on the board he was just a disc golfer trying to play dubs.

Every plays with the same people cause of people like u that want to control every thing. In stead of being up tight try to make it fun for everyone. So what if someone wants to smoke or drink. Does it effect everyone playing prolly not. What I would like to see is these so called board members put there own issues a side and try to bring people into the club instead of running people away over petty stuff.

What does it take for the board of member to sit back and realize there the reason why they continue to lose people instead of people. U cut out $3 for a day of league round but will let someone play a league round for free but there score doesn't count. That sounds like a good way to make money for the club.

Next sunday (May 20th). After doubles will be the first monthly club meeting / Lunch. All are welcomed to attend, We will meet at Riedys Pizza in Charlotte. After this week, we will shoot for having these meetings every month on the last Sunday of the month after doubles.

Next sunday (May 20th). After doubles will be the first monthly club meeting / Lunch. All are welcomed to attend, We will meet at Riedys Pizza in Charlotte. After this week, we will shoot for having these meetings every month on the last Sunday of the month after doubles.

At these meetings we will address any outstanding issues from the last months meetings, discuss any concerns or questions that people may have. Make any announcements that might need to be made. As well as vote on topics which require a vote.(Voting and who gets a vote will be discussed in the first meeting on the 20th)

There will always be at least one board member on hand at each meeting to assist in answering any questions that arise.

I am hoping these meetings / lunches will help us all in the long run, by giving everyone a time and place for all issues to be handle. Also should help us grow by allowing everyone in the club to get to know each other. As of right now. Everyone seems to always play with the same set of 3 people each round and no one really gets to know anyone else. I am hoping this helps strengthen all our friendships and helps the flow of information as well. Any questions please feel free to contact me on the scene.

F.A.Q
We are meeting at Riedys Pizza. (We are meeting at Riedys as they are one of our sponsors)
No the club is not buying everyone's lunch people are expected to pay for their own food/drinks.

Want to thank everyone for showing up for the first week of $5 doubles. 5 teams total. First got 40 second got 10. (Nice shooting, Bill/luke, and Mike/Tony with your -17's)

For future rounds just so everyone is on the same page. $5 doubles will follow all PDGA rules to ensure fair play for all.
See you all next week! More people bigger pots!!!

Patrick Fulkerson    May 9, 2012 at 12:52am

I also made the last statement in regards to just Tuesday leagues. If your referring to the Sunday (free) handicap doubles, or the 5$ doubles, those are each week. I just assumed you were referring to Tuesday leagues though.

Patrick Fulkerson    May 9, 2012 at 12:39am

If people want to be included in the weekly points for their division / ctps / Longest puts and such, its 35$. If someones in town and they want to join you for your league round. Bring them out and have them play a round with ya. They just are not eligible for the Ace pool/ CTPs/ LP or points from the league as that's all end of the year stuff.

If you do have extra people playing, to make it easier on the League admins. Please have their scores recorded on another scorecard for them ... more

If you do have extra people playing, to make it easier on the League admins. Please have their scores recorded on another scorecard for them or keep track on there own or what not. Just so Chad doesn't have a score for a player not in the league.

Make sense?

john jeff carter    May 8, 2012 at 10:52pm

if we bring people to start playing can they pay for the nite or do they have to pay for the season???

Starting Sunday may 13th, Any Sunday which I do not have a tournament. I will be running $5 random flip doubles at 10am. This is a long side the Casual handicap doubles that is already played on Sundays at the same time. The two different leagues will share an ace pool and that is all. The $5 doubles is not handicapped, and only people who has paid in the 5$ will be your partner. I will pay out 1st and 2nd place 80/20*(Cali gets money back and still competes for Cash) split.

The $5 doubles is not handicapped, and only people who has paid in the 5$ will be your partner. I will pay out 1st and 2nd place 80/20*(Cali gets money back and still competes for Cash) split. If there is a odd number of players for the $5 doubles, one person will end up playing Cali. Who ever ends up being Cali gets there money back and Traditional Cali rules will be used, not the Cali rules for the Handicap doubles currently ran.


Cali Rules.
1 Additional throw per hole.

Ace pool Rules for anyone not familiar with it.
$5 to enter, $1 each week there after. Once an ace is hit. You must pay another 5$ to enter the next Ace pool. Then $1 there after till another ace is hit... Rinse repeat.

Any questions and comments, Let me know. I will post on here any week in which I will not be running the doubles. I will have it posted by Friday of that week. Weeks I am not running the $5 doubles people are still encouraged to show up and play in the handicap doubles which are ran the same time!

Jason Lord    April 30, 2012 at 6:02pm

Twenty one new Millennium (Innova) disc!
The Omega Super Soft, is a beadless Aviar, softer and more tacky then last year. Polaris LS star plastic closest description would be a fast Leopard or a longer Eagle. Sparkle Astra, its a sparkle Archon, rare, I only have 4 to sell and those for $16.

The Omega Super Softs and Polaris LS are 10 bucks.

I will not hold any disc,multiple colors and weights.

I believe your request has been taken care of Larry. If not let me know.

larry j    April 17, 2012 at 2:51pm

yes i can see that. but there is no option that includes d e f. only a b c. is that something disc golf scene can do. i dont want 2 have write that i played d e f i should just b able 2 score it that way. also if the tuesday league is playing 21 holes with d e f we should have that option.

Mike Kemp    April 16, 2012 at 10:08pm

@ larry j. In the course layout option, you can choose "regular tees 21 holes" as an option whether you played a,b,c or d,e,f...

larry j    April 12, 2012 at 4:09pm

in scoring a round i noticed there is no option for 21 holes that include D E F. Can this option be added?
