I have some scoop on the Fairmont Park project... I should have some big news by mid week...

In the mean time, please start looking at July 27th & 28th, and/or Aug. 3rd & 4th on your calendar.

Found on Current #2 Fairmont:
Yellow Innova DX Cheetah stuck in a tree (left it). Might have to call the FD ladder truck to get that cat down.
Also,
Innova F2 (Factory 2nd) blizzard disc. If you can name the disc + stamp color, I'll get it to you asap.

One week from today I'll be headed to the Sunflower State Games disc golf tournament. Saturday is the doubles format, played just like our Tuttle Tuesday best disc format, however you bring your teammate. Sunday is a standard singles tournament. You can sign up and play in one of the two tournaments for $25 or both for $35. If you medal (top 3 (bronze, sliver, gold)), you'll be qualified to play in the 2014 State Games of America.

Personally I love playing in the Doubles event... mainly because there's very few doubles tournaments to play in around here.

So find a partner and let's all go for the gold next weekend. Hopefully we can bring home a medal in every division!

Wooo!

Hey all you 2012-2013 DFOK Points League Champions, please tell me you received your $10 Discs Unlimited gift certificates (via email). I sent them out back on the 19th, but haven't heard a peep out of anyone receiving them (except for Bill).

I'm sure there will be a car pool for the state games for the first day doubles, but will there be one for singles the next day?

Mitchell Brenn    July 3, 2013 at 7:15pm

Would anyone be willing to teach me how to push putt? I've watching this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_7RPOmSSsU and others and I just don't get it when I try to implement it in real life.

Kevin Zane    July 3, 2013 at 7:24am

I have a couple guys I'm waiting on for a response about a doubles partner for the Sunflower State Games... anyone interested if they don't pull through??

For those of you who do not read or have opted out of the official DFOK News emails, I thought I would post an update here.
At approx. 6:00pm last night, we received our last Half Fairway donation, thus completing our Fairmont Disc Golf Course Fairway Sponsorship Campaign!
BIG THANKS TO ALL WHO HELPED RAISE THE NECESSARY FUNDS!
Stay tuned for construction updates, scheduled club work days, etc.

It's going to be an exciting July & August for Disc Golf in Manhattan, KS!

I forgot to mention at league... I found an Excal with no name at Fairmont the other day.

Rick Petrie    June 26, 2013 at 4:55pm

Lost Disc Alert:
I threw it On The Wild Side of the fence on new fairway #3.
It's a mostly white with tie-dye swirl Wraith (champion plastic).
Otherwise known as the perfect pattern to lose in tall grass. :-)

Rick Petrie    June 26, 2013 at 3:40pm

In all the preround fundrasing lastnight, I forgot to mention this week's DFOK Meeting.
So here goes.
Thursday, June 27th (tomorrow)
5:30pm
Manhattan Public Library
at intersection on Poyntz & Juliette.

Hope to see you there.

I am willing to start another $50 group to sponsor a half fariway at Fairmont. I need 4 more people to get in on this with me. And as I have been informed by Rick time is of the essence so lets get this money together so we can have our names etched in metal forever.

Rick Petrie    June 21, 2013 at 6:23am

Hey everybody, the Sunflower State Games disc golf tournament (in Topeka) is only 3 weeks away.

It offers one of the few doubles tournaments Kansas each year, on Saturday. The a standard rules Singles event on the following Sunday. If you medal (1st, 2nd or 3rd) you are then qualified to participate in the State Games of America!

Greeting on this Thursday lunch hour (for me at least).

I have some news that's still "developing", but not locked down with check in hand just yet. Therefore I'm going to keep it vague and post it on this Talk tab.

This morning I received another verbal commitment for a Full Fairway! Considering the organization, it's a 95% lock!

That means we only have 2 more fairways to go! (Technically it's shown as 1 Full + 2 Half fairways, but we can do some shuffli ... more

So if you're wanting to get in on the $50 donation thing that Jon is coordinating, you'll need to get him you $ pretty soon. Don't let the last few fairways slip away before it's too late.

After not playing Warner in nearly 1.5 months, I've learned that the new hazards on hole 6 like to eat discs. Took me a solid 30 minutes to find it. Avoid them at all costs. Haha!
