We will play 2 rounds of 10 holes at the Sportsplex or a round of 12 at ASU & a round of 10 at the 'plex, if the ASU course is in the ground by then.

We have got just over 3 months until our 2nd annual charity tournament and it is time to start the planning. I would like for us all to get together and talk about plans sometime early next month. Last year when we started planning the tournament our still unnamed club had 5 members and a total of 1 tournament played between us and we managed to raise $550 for the Limestone County Boys & Girls Club. This year the CPF roster is right at 20 members and we have seen many ways to raise money at tournaments.
Any suggestions will be appreciated, here are some ideas we have come up with, just to start you thinking.
We need to draw a big crowd. I am trying to get a commitment from the city to get the new holes installed in time for the tournament. Also, a nice players pack will draw players and make them want to come to future events in Athens.
Players Packs - ANYTHING of value would be great for these. To try to get players to commit early I would like to advertise packs for the first 50 to sign up. So anything we get for these we will need to have at least 50 of, if we have more than 50 golfers we can give partial packs to if we have more than 50 of any item. I would like to have a DX disc in each pack, Tom Wales is working on the artwork now. These discs will cost us $5 per disc. I once again will ask the Huntsville Havoc for tickets, they gave us 100 tickets last year. We should also include a raffle ticket in each pack.
Coupons for free food from McDonalds or Ckhick Fil-A are often in players packs. If you know anyone that can give you 50 of anything players might want please do so. I would like to make a nice pack so everyone feels they are getting something for their entry fee.
Sponsers - "Money makes the world go 'round, world go 'round, world go 'round" that is what one of my economics professor said daily and it is very true here. Hole sponsorships can be sold for $25 per hole. This will be the key to getting the discs for the players packs paid for. Please consider sponsoring a hole alone or with a group of your friends, or better yet sell them to businesses or non players.
Free Lunch - I have often heard "There is no free lunch", that applies here. I have a couple of friends who work with the B&G Club and they have told me that they would provide lunch for the players at the tournament. We will accept donations to the club for
this "free lunch". I am thinking about reserving the large classroom at Central Church for us to eat in.
Silent Auction - If you have anything that people want, disc golf related or not, we can include in this. My friends my the B&G Club told me that they can get some sports memorabilia form a banquet they are hosting near the same time as our tournament. I think it would be mostly Alabama and Auburn Football items, I will try to get a list of items in time to advertise them and maybe draw non disc golfers to the auction as well.
Raffle - Items not included in the auction can be put in this catagory. I want to give everyone a ticket in there players pack, plus sell tickets for $2 each or 3 for $5. Discs are a very popular raffle item.
Mulligans - I wa amazed by how much money we raised by selling mulligans last year. We limited players to 5 per round and sold them for $2 for a tee shot and all others for
$4.
That should be enough info to get you thinking about ways to raise money and promote disc golf. I will be in touch with you about a meeting to discuss these and other plans.
If so, you might want to help the Chain Gang at the same time. Here
is an e-mail from Addie.
Attention:
If you are thinking of joining the PDGA or renewing your membership
soon, please hold off for a few days!!
We are wanting to become an Affiliated Club with the PDGA and to do
so we must send in our memberships/renewals as a club. This will give
us many added bonuses throughout the year, including a link to our
website on the PDGA forum which is viewed all over the world. David
Hunt has hired someone to professionally design our
rocketcitychaingang.com site!! The davidhunt.org site is our
temporary site-- Continue using this site as the other isn't
completed.
I will be getting more information on becoming an Affiliated Club in
the next few days.
If anyone has any questions about the PDGA please don't hestitate to
ask!!
Thank you,
Addie

I posted this review on Huntsvilles message board,and thought you
guys would like to know about the new RoadRunner:
Champion Road Runner:
At first glance it looks and feels like a Sidewinder. The very first
throw I
realized it was a slightly worked in Sidewinder. If you have a
tailwind or
no wind this disc will cook! With just a a slight hyzer angle the
disc at
high speed will pan up fairly quick and a have a gentle rollover,but
at the
end of the flight it will land flat. This is a great disc for novice
to pro!
Most pro's will probably use it for rollers or very long turnovers or
low
ceiling long tunnel shots. All skill levels will enjoy the flight and
feel of
this new Innova disc.
Deano... 8)
Lee has a higher tag than 14???????

We have got just over 3 months until our 2nd annual charity
tournament and it is time to start the planning. I would like for us
all to get together and talk about plans sometime early next month.
Last year when we started planning the tournament our still unnamed

Thanks for posting this on here Bill!
If anyone wants something,either post here what you want or email me
with the order and I will put it aside for you. Let me know if you
would like them signed also. I have already signed all the black/gold
Rocs.I have a tournament this week in Atlanta,but next week I can
make a trip over to Athens on Sat or Sun to deliver orders and sign
discs.

Deano...
1:15 it will be then. Two rounds of golf followed by a long drive
contest, CTP contest, and a ring of fire. $10 entry, $5 of which will
go to the cost of the tags. The other $5 will cover the cost of the
trophy, with the balance going to the contests. Hope to see you all
there.
We will play 2 rounds of 10 holes at the Sportsplex or a round of 12
at ASU & a round of 10 at the 'plex, if the ASU course is in the
ground by then.

I had a great time today, I hope everyone else did as well. I have
always thought the singles/high-low doubles was a fun, laid back
format. Congrats to the winners, David G.,Rivers,Chuck, & David
Croomes. I am excited for next month's 1st Sunday, which will be our
Club Championship.

I did go to the race and now that you mention it, I think you did tell me. Sorry, I'm a senior citizen and can't remeber as well as I used to. lol Thanks for the reminder. If I ever come across as anything other than nice, just let me know. I don't mean to do that and I don't want to do it. I just LOVE to play disc golf and am very appreciative of all that you have done for Disc Golf in Athens. Thanks again,
Roger

I just saw this on the SN site. The 7th Annual Magic City Christmas Classic will be played 12/17/05. If you have not played George Ward Park, do yourself a favor, try to make this event. It is a great course with a good mix of holes. Glass and I had a great time playing this course at the Tax Tourney, even though we placed 18th and 24th out of 25. Pencil me in for this one as I want some revenge on this course. Who wants to ride with me to this one?
I just saw this on the SN site. The 7th Annual Magic City Christmas
Classic will be played 12/17/05. If you have not played George Ward
Park, do yourself a favor, try to make this event. It is a great course
with a good mix of holes. Glass and I had a great time playing this
course at the Tax Tourney, even though we placed 18th and 24th out of
25. Pencil me in for this one as I want some revenge on this course.
Who wants to ride with me to this one?
Everyone - There is a soccer tournament at the Sportsplex this
weekend. The south entrance will be closed, you will have to enter at
the light. They will be charging admission to the tourney, just tell
them you are playing disc golf and you will get in free. If they give
you any trouble, ask them to get in touch with Chad Vining or Tony
Clemons.
Roger - The first Sunday of October was the race in Talledaga. I
thought you went to the race and I thought I told you about the
tournament. If I did not it was because I thought you were going to
the race.

Chandler, what is the earliest you can be ready to play? And we can
wait a little while if you are running a little late.

I replied before I read the rest of the posts. I tried the two finger fling myself a few times and I'm back to my COMFORTABLE old agressive 4 finger grip. I Think everyone should try new stuff though !!!! You never know what's gonna help your game until you do.

Unfortunately, the extra distance I was getting with the two finger grip looks like a 2 day fluke. I am back to being a weenie arm. I am still working on it though.
Just didn't want any confussion. On 7 , OB is the sidewalk or anything to the RIGHT of it.
I'm sure everyone who plays out at the plex would figure it out, Just wanted to verify that for newbie.
Bill Bullington <bill_bullington@...> wrote:

OB is a work in progress right now, the changes to the 3rd hole forced us to look at what is considered OB. #3 was one of our better and harder holes and it has been nuetered, so we thought we should toughen it and #7 up with adding some OB. Here is the course OB as we play it now.
#1 - In the water or across the water Across #3 - On or across the sidewalk & in or across the ditch to the right. #4 - Across the fence #7 - Any shot on or left of the sidewalk #8 - In the water or east of the water #9 - In the water or across the water #10 - Pavement or across pavement
The rule of thumb is any shot on pavement or in the water or on the wrong side of either is OB. As of now we are not calling the ditch on #2 or #6 OB play shot in the water there as casual
water.
We have several things planned for December, the Club Championship is open to anyone who considers himself part of our club. We certainately welcome you into our club and to that tourney. It will have no divisions everyone will be playing for low bag tags and a GREAT looking trophy. The Tennessee Valley Tour (TVT) will also be played at the Sportsplex in December. The TVT is a regional entry level tournament series that features 1 round of golf per event with a $5 entry for ams. All PDGA divisions are offered at these tournaments. November's event will be in Florence, if you have never played there you should it is a fun course. The date for that event has not been set I will post it here when I find out when it will be played.
Do yourself a favor, get out and play with the Rocket City Chain Gang. They are some of the best people I have ever known, they made me feel welcome and part of their club from the first
time I played one of their doubles events. I give them credit for showing us what a disc golf club should be.
See you on the course.

What does everyone want to play? Singles, Doubles or someother format?
Welcome to Athens and To The Cotton Pickin Flyers. This is really a Great group of people and you'll have a hard time finding anyone that you won't enjoy playing with. We always have fun playing and just enjoy disc golf. I hope you find Disc Golf in Athens to be as fun as I have.

How would the first Sunday in December work for everyone? If that date is fine could you start at 12:30?
Right now I am not sure the ASU course will be in by then, if not we will play it at the Sportsplex.

You are right, that should have said sidewalk and right.
Unfortunately, the extra distance I was getting with the two finger
grip looks like a 2 day fluke. I am back to being a weenie arm. I am
still working on it though.
Bill dont you mean any shot to the right on #7 because I like the idea of everything on the left being out of bounds it will help my game alot. Bill joe won #1 from Glass and we havent seen his bald head on the course since. That good old #1 flu is catching. Hope to see you soon I hear you are using big daddy glass' two-finger tornado grip and outthrowing everyone Im ready to see you fling it.

The TVT is a regional entry level tournament series that features 1 round of golf per event with a $5 entry for ams. All PDGA divisions are offered at these tournaments. November's event will be in Florence, if you have never played there you should it is a fun course. The date for that event has not been set I will post it here when I find out when it will be played.
Do yourself a favor, get out and play with the Rocket City Chain Gang. They are some of the best people I have ever known, they made me feel welcome and part of their club from the first time I played one of their doubles events. I give them credit for showing us what a disc golf club should be.
See you on the course.
