So... since there is no class Monday. I was thinking about taking a trip to Emporia on Monday... Is anyone interested?

Mitchell Brenn    August 27, 2013 at 10:15pm

I'm going to fairmont around 2:45/3:00 to get some practice putting in if anyone would like to join.

Travis Bailey    August 27, 2013 at 8:40pm

What is the texting program that you guys use? I get all of them indivdually. Should we all try and get GroupMe?

Would anyone like to play tonight other than Tuttle?

Josh Carroll    August 27, 2013 at 12:10am

Glad to hear back from you Ian. We are still working on specifics, but I will be sending out an email later this week after the OSAS Club & Activities fair on Thursday.

Mitchell Brenn, our team captain, has told me that we should plan to meet at Fairmont on Saturday, August 31 for our first practice (due to the Friday night football home-opener). Future practices throughout the fall will likely be scheduled for Friday evenings. Stay tuned.

Hey everyone!
I expressed interest in joining the club team towards the end of last school year. Do you guys stay active during the entire school year. If so, how do I go about joining you guys because I'm really interested.

Thanks!

Is anyone up for a round at Tuttle around 3:30/4 today? I'd like to play before I head to camp for two weeks.

I can't drive my car because my driver's window fell into the door, so I'd need a ride. Just send a text if you're wanting to play!

Hello K-State Disc Golf Club,

Please allow me to pitch something to you regarding one of your club’s home courses, located at Fairmont Park.

As you may or may not know, the Manhattan based disc golf club Disc Fanatics of Kansas (DFOK) is working with Riley County Parks to remodel & expand the Fairmont Disc Golf Course. In order to stay up to date with the project please Favorite and/or follow the club’s Talk tab on discgolfscene.com ( http://www.di ... more

Hello K-State Disc Golf Club,

Please allow me to pitch something to you regarding one of your club’s home courses, located at Fairmont Park.

As you may or may not know, the Manhattan based disc golf club Disc Fanatics of Kansas (DFOK) is working with Riley County Parks to remodel & expand the Fairmont Disc Golf Course. In order to stay up to date with the project please Favorite and/or follow the club’s Talk tab on discgolfscene.com ( http://www.discgolfscene.com/clubs/Disc_Fanatics_of_Kansas ). You can also Like us on Facebook, Follow us on Twitter, or go to www.dfok.us

As part of this project, DFOK is responsible for raising $4500 to contribute to the project. Riley County Parks will also be paying for project improvements, in addition to our $4500 budget. I order to raise our DFOK club share, we are asking organizations & individuals if they would like to be a "Fairway Sponsor". By sponsoring a “full fairway” for $500, or a “half fairway” for $250, their name will be displayed on permanent course signage. Sponsorship opportunities are limited, 9 "fulls" or 18 "halfs" or a combination of both. These Fairway Sponsorships" are available on a first-come first-served basis.

Here’s where the K-STATE DISC GOLF CLUB comes in. You guys & gals are members of an ideal organization to sponsor a fairway. If your club sponsored a fairway, it could be something you would be proud of for decades to come. It would go a long way in establishing a legacy for others to follow. It could be a recruiting tool that would motivate new students to learn more about your club. It could be something your club can put on your organizational resume as giving back to the Community. The list of positives goes on & on.

All it would take for your club to sponsor a half fairway is for 20 members to pitch in $12.50, or 10 members to pitch in $25, or any combination equaling $250. Since it’s a first come, first served process, there’s no specific deadline on DFOK for finding the required sponsors. Meanwhile (in a few weeks) many of you will be out of school working your summer jobs and may have $12.50 or $25 (or more) discretionary dollars in your pockets. So by that time your club sponsoring a fairway could be very do-able.

One way to do it would be to designate one person to mail your K-State Club member donations to until you get to the desired $ level of your choice (ie $250 or $500). After you get to your desired $ level, then have that person deliver those funds to me. Then BANG, your club has permanent recognition in Fairmont Park! (Note: Final sponsorship checks are to made out to Riley County Parks).

Opportunities to get your name permanently displayed on courses do not come up very often. Therefore, please seriously consider your options.

Sincerely,
Rick

p.s. You can start raising money amongst yourselves anytime, then refund it back to your members if you happen fall short of raising it in time to get the last spot.

Hey I just found out about you guys through Kstate rec service. I'm a going to be a 3rd year at Kstate next year and I love disc golf. Do you guys stay active over the summer with any organized outings?

Mitchell Brenn    April 26, 2013 at 4:45am

Everyone should sign up for the Break The Chains tournament this Saturday...There are only 5 people signed up in Advanced and only 19 people signed up in general. It's $15 and you get a disc! Go give plasma tomorrow if you are short on cash. I'm sure one of us will go with you if you don't want to go by yourself.

Sean Clary    April 25, 2013 at 9:42pm

Anyone want to play a round this afternoon?

Josh Carroll    April 18, 2013 at 4:27am

Don't forget, we are having an important meeting tomorrow night at Hale Library to bring together some ideas for next year. I'll post some details later on tonight regarding the topics of the meeting, but please try to attend!

Travis Bailey    April 11, 2013 at 9:21pm

Is anyone interested in going to Emporia on Sunday to watch the pros at the GBO? I'd really like to go but not on my own. Haha. Let me know!

Josh Carroll    April 5, 2013 at 11:59pm

Fairmont Friday! You know what that means: K-State Doubles. 5:30 PM. Be there!

Travis Bailey    April 5, 2013 at 12:58am

Anyone have a chair I can borrow for the tournament on Saturday? Not sure when I'll be able to pick it up though.

Travis Bailey    April 2, 2013 at 5:44pm

Wasn't able to pay my ticket. Heading to Tuttle at 3. Anyone want to get a round in before doubles?

Travis Bailey    April 1, 2013 at 9:34pm

Because I got a ticket out at Tuttle on Saturday I have to go out there later today to pay it and play around 4:45. Anyone else interested?

Travis Bailey    March 28, 2013 at 8:36pm

I'll be up at Warner at 3pm with a friend if anyone wants to join. He's probably only playing 9, so it would be nice to have someone to finish 18 with me!

**UPDATE** Gateway Collegiate Classic, Day 3:

Cold, breezy, and wintry mix was the weather forecast for the day. Played one round of 4-person best/alternate shot doubles at Sioux Passage. Lot of fun holes out there and we posted a respectable score of 5-over par (59). Unfortunately, our efforts were not enough to claim a bid to the National Championships. A fun weekend of disc golf nonetheless and lots of exciting ideas for next year. Finals results:

**UPDATE** Gateway Collegiate Classic (St. Louis), Day 2:

Woke up bright and early to get some warm-up practice in at Endicott Park before our first round of singles play. The weather was a bit colder than yesterday with added wind. Combine that with an already tough course and you're asking for a rough round. The lowest scores from the field were 53 (Rd 1) and 52 (Rd 2). Here were the K-State team results:

AJ Cruz -- 62, 62 -- 124
Josh Carroll -- 66, 61 -- 127
Jacob Patchen -- ... more

Josh Carroll -- 66, 61 -- 127
Jacob Patchen -- 68, 64 -- 132
Ben Nispel -- 68, 69 -- 137

Since the best three scores are taken from each round, that puts us at 383 after two rounds of singles. The first place school is sitting at 341. We will be competing at Sioux Passage tomorrow in the alternate shot/best shot team format. Sioux is a long bombers paradise with rolling hills and lined OB.

Notable Team Accomplishments:
**Jacob Patchen & AJ Cruz took 1st place among Amateurs at the Crystal City Underground doubles event
**Jacob also took Closest-to-Pin on Hole 11, Endicott during Round 2
