I donated some money to the am1 pool on Saturday!

[mark ellis]

I will donate money if Blazo promises to play faster. :)

[Blazo]

Oh man!! hahah I'll play faster if someone teaches me how to without screwing up!! I don't like playing slow as much as other people don't like waiting for me to throw! In tournaments, I try to clear my head of basically everything but the throw itself, and sometimes that takes longer than I'd like...

[Eirik]

I heard about that at the lumberjack. Was this the guy responsible for holding up the 7 year old juniors and legends division? Didn't those old guys even have walkers and were moving faster? :)

[Blazo]

No dude, I'm not that slow. I always do my best to be courteous and not hold up groups. I've been paired with someone slower than me 2 of the last 4 tourney rounds i've played in!

[Eirik]

I was only playing around man :)

[Blazo]

we'll see who's playing around when i'm warming up for my next shot and you're waiting behind me next time...

[Blazo]

just kidding by the way

I just remember there being a 30 minute wait on hole 9....because of the AM1's and Masters. Ladies and Am3s went right through ;-) Of course having a hole that is 100 feet shorter and a lot less scary doesn't hurt.

[Blazo]

that 30 minute wait was bound to happen before the tourney started. that hole is just bound to cause a bottleneck since so many people go ob and stuff. still a sweet hole though. oh and by the way, that was my the hole we started on, both rounds haha so i guess clears my name right there!

[get your discs and godiscn]

Blizzard Hills in Pinconning is in the same situation. We have all eighteen baskets in the ground with hopes of getting all eighteen pads poured this spring but the reality of the new club is that the funds are not there. So far we have done all of the work with volunteer labor (including Terry and Sheila's course design), donated money, money from weekly league play, small profits from tournaments and fundraiser discs but since the league pays insurance costs and paid for the baskets, there is $0.00 left in the kitty. I have an idea that would be GREAT - how about DGRUS sponsors a fund raiser for just such projects by paying for a run of fundraiser disc, selling them in the Throw Shop and then providing tee pad $$$ to the needy club. In return courses could be officially sponsored by DGRUS and then promote DGRUS by displaying promotional materials around the course and at all events. Another attempt we have made is to recruit specific hole sponsors where a substantial donation allows the donor a sign at the specified hole. This has been somewhat successful but after paying for the baskets last fall, the funds are depleted.

Now here's another situation that would be GREAT to see a remedy for. Bay City State Recreation Area has some great land for 3 nine hole courses and after a spring and summer of walking and sketching, I have a layout for the three separate 9 hole courses that follow the shoreline at Bay City's State Park. And at the end of last season, the park's supervisor was even able to put some crews out there to start grooming fairways, clearing brush and preparing for installation. Again the situation comes down to funding. If any of you have contacts with any state people that may be able to push the idea along, it would be greatly appreciated. As I understand it, if we could get the funds for the baskets, we could improvise on all other needs and concentrate on creating another GREAT Michigan State Park course.

Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated nearly as much as the cash to buy the concrete. And after everyone on DGRUS donates for the Sleepy Hollow pads, turn your donating inner self to Blizzard Hills, contacting me at [e-mail], through my page here on DGRUS, writing or sending donations to P.O. Box 337, Kawkawlin, Michigan 48631 or calling me on the phone, I'm listed in the white page directory.


And again, a special thanks to CCR for providing the 9 baskets needed to complete Blizzard Hills until we could get our order from Discraft. Good things come to clubs that are so supportive in situations where it would have been easier to ignore our needs. My donation is on it's way to [e-mail]

thanks,
Craig Prime - president/co-designer @ Blizzard Hills, Pinconning Disc Golf Club.
