We
had a short outage of the message
boards recently. This was due to some issues I
had with trying to change settings to prevent spammers
from signing up for the message board. Somewhere along
the way, things got totally borked and I had to do
a complete re-install. Things should be working and
stable now. Those of you who already had accounts
will have to re-register.
PLEASE
NOTE: from now on to register for an account with
the photo
gallery or for the message
board, you'll need to drop me a quick e-mail just
to let me know you are a real human disc golfer before
you are able to post. I'm sorry for the inconvenience,
but after only a short time the message board was
already getting several spam messages daily.
Also,
I just wanted to remind everyone that this
Saturday at 9:30 am, we will be having our Club
Kick-Off event for this season at Ross Hills Park.
We will have Am and Pro divisions including Intermediate
and Advanced Am. Am and Pro will cost $15.00, and
Intermediate will run $10.00. $5.00 of each entry
fee pays for your full year membership
with the Wabash Disc Golf Club. The rest will be used
for payouts. We will be paying out CA$H for all divisions
(so no bagging, play in your proper division *LOL*)
Also, we will have food and discs available for sale
at the event.
Finally,
for those of you who won't be making it to the Club
Kick-Off, please consider sending in
your membership
form soon! We are trying to plan a full season
of events for the area, including park improvements
and club events. All membership fees and other fundraising
activities will go towards improving and expanding
disc golf in our area.
Also,
if you have ideas on how to improve disc golf in our
area, please use the message board or talk to Jeremy,
Mike or Steve in person. We would really like an idea
as to who is willing to pitch in and help with events,
course maintenance and improvement days, and so on.
If you have a set of skills, contacts within local
government (specifically the parks departments) and/or
media, or just some time to help out, please let us
know!

The
tournament
schedule now has club events listed for the next
few months. In march, we will be having the Club
Kick-Off. This event will mark the beginning of
the WDGC season and will begin our membership
drive. See the tournament
schedule for more details.
Next
will be the First Annual
Boy Scout Open. This will be the first PDGA
sanctioned (C-Tier) event at the new Eagle Scout
DGC at Camp Collum. Amateurs will play on Saturday
and Pros will play on Sunday. This is going to be
the club's biggest annual event, so please register
early! For more info, see the tournament
schedule.
Then
in May, we will have Memorial
Day Doubles. And in June, we are going to be doing
Firefly Glow Golf at Ross
Hills! We hope to have at least one special event
every calendar month all summer long, so for all of
the information on these and other events, be sure
to check in on the tournament
schedule regularly!
We
are also beginning to make plans for starting up the
weekly leagues. Be sure
to check the league schedule
for more details.
We
have officially begun this year's membership
drive! Be sure to sign up ASAP. Membership helps grow
the sport locally and gives members nice benefits.
See the membership page
for more details. Note, however, that if you are playing
the Club Kick-Off event,
then your membership dues are included in your tournament
registration!
The
web site now has a message
board and a photo
gallery. Be sure to sign up and have a look around!
I will continue to update and expand the new web site
as we go on through Spring and into Summer. |

The
1st Annual Wabash Ice Bowl was a big success! Our
goal was to raise $400.00 and 40 cans of food for
the Food Finders Food Bank. Instead, we managed to
raise $500.00 and over 50 cans of food! Well done,
WDGC. We will be making a formal visit to turn in
the funds and food sometime this week and will hopefully
have a photo to post after then.
Not
only did we manage to help feed families in need,
we also were able to generate some very positive PR.
The Journal & Courier ran a story on us in the
Sunday, January 31st edition! We were on the front
page of the local section. In case you didn't see
the story, here is a link
to an online version. There is also a photo gallery
on the JC web site which you can see
here. Also, here are some stats (for those of
you who enjoy such things):
- Am
division winner: Jerry J. (51)
- Pro
Division winner: Jeremy J. (50)
- Most
Mulligans purchased by a single player: Jeremy J.
buying 18
- Total
Mulligans sold: 84
- Total
players: 14
- Winner
of CTP on hole 2: Jeremy J.
- Winner
of CTP on hole 18: Mike L.
- Special
thanks to Clay Finney and the Lafayette Parks Dept
for the donation of two season passes to the Local
Swimming facitilities.
- Also,
big thanks to my wife, Dr. Kazumi Chino, for the
donation of all the merchandise and food for this
event.
- Thanks
also to Jeremy J and Mike L for helping arrange
and organize this event.
I
should make a brief apology to everyone who was expecting
this Ice Bowl update earlier. I have been very sick
the last week and I am still on the mend.
Also,
I should note that I still have a small selection
of Ice Bowl merchandise available for sale. I will
gladly provide a list of what is available to anyone
who asks. Drop
me an email for a copy of the list. chickenpuppet
AT msn DOT com. I have a couple of long sleeve tees
and several discs.
Finally,
progress has been slow on working on this new site,
but I should have a fully functional version up and
ready before the spring reopening of the local courses.
I will note all updates and additions here as I make
progress. |
