Here are some of my initial thoughts on the Tuttle Tuesday Ace Fund & Clubs.
IMO, the Ace $ should stay tied to the Tuttle course in some way. It was generated based on a skill competition that takes place there, so thats where it should stay. If someone wants a piece of it, use something it bought, etc.... they should have to go to Tuttle.
I do like what Jon is saying about the course winning. I think it would be wise to buy a replacement basket for #3. Then everyone wins (plus everyone could see right where the ace $ went). This could be a standard practice, everyone knowning that if you can't win it by a certain financial point, the course won & a new basket is bought. This would also put a cap on the size of the Ace Fund so we don't attract out of towners that want to play once just to take big big & money & run.
Question is, can we/you do that even though it was not specified to all who entered? I'm okay with it, but I'm not exactly a regular at Tuttle Tuesday...
Regarding clubs, there is no "DFOK account", nor is it an official club (yet)... just unofficial. At the end of the season, Mark & I plan to pay out 100% of the $ (minus expenses) from this years tag $.
DFOK became "public" so to speak because discgolfscene required a club name to set-up a bag tag league. My #1 goal of creating the bag tag league was to flush out as many local players as possible so we can provide an estimate of how many, what type, age, etc. of local people play disc golf. This will be vital information for our plans to expand Warner (& Fairmont too).
Here is where I stand on creating (re-creating) a local club. I suppose it is time we get a club going that is representative of the three county area, minimum. I'm thinking "three counties", rather than "Manhattan", because we're now working with a growing Ft. Riley crowd & many local players and courses are not in Manhattan proper.
So, the way I think we should structure the club (could be called DFOK) would be to have standard officers, membership dues, etc., PLUS establish an official representative (or 2) for each DG course in our membership base. Ie; a Tuttle rep, a Warner rep., Ft Riley rep, Pennyland rep., Fairmont rep, etc. That way we can do a good job of spreading the support (because properly maintaining one course is a lot), but yet being coordinated in these efforts like a club should be.
Sorry it was so LONG. But that stuff has been rattling around in my head for a while now.
Everyone, please chime in... give your 2¢ worth.
