Disc Golf Association (DGA) is having a contest to give away a 9-hole course. This is not the usual raffle but an essay contest and voting for the best essays is what moves them on in the contest.

There is still plenty of time to enter yourself. Also, voting on existing entries continues until mid-July.

Our own Troy Herman wrote one, and we encourage you to go check it out and vote for it; it is called Play it Forward.

You can vote for up to 5 essays PER DAY, so go back every day and pick your favorite(s). I think all you need to do to be eligible to vote is to “Like” the page (though you do also have to be a facebook member).

There is also an entry there from Scott Hougland, called Central Texas Temp Course.

The link to the contest is: http://apps.facebook.com/contestshq/contests/93874/

VOTE, VOTE, VOTE

Thanks,
Waterloo Disc Golf Club

Waterloo Disc Golf Club is looking for just a few volunteers to teach some kids about disc golf this Sunday, November 11th, at Austin Ridge Bible Church. A group is doing a fun race for kids and raising money for Austin Ronald McDonald House (and we LOOOOVE that charity). They are including some extra activities for the kids, including disc golf – how cool is that!

We need some folks to be there to teach the kids and run some disc golf stuff for them. The club will have some discs for the kids to use, but it wouldn’t hurt if you could bring some too. But the main thing is just to have someone there to help.

It would just be for a few hours – getting there around 12:00 – 12:30 pm, and probably leaving around 3:00 – 3:30 pm.

If you can help, please get in touch with Zac Tolbert (ztolbs@gmail.com) or Troy Herman (waterloodgc@Gmail.com) . The information about the day is pasted below.

And hey… feel free to bring your kids down to participate (and spread the word to people you know), it sounds like a lot of fun!!!

Thanks,
Waterloo Disc Golf Club

Well, bummer! Just after we get the word out about this event, it has postponed. The organizing group had some issues come up and sent us the following note:

I am disappointed to inform you, the event has been postponed. The kids were really excited about the whole day but we encountered a problem. Hopefully we will be able to find a date and reschedule.
Thanks for your offer to help. I will let you know if it is going to happen.

Now that the time change is upon us, there are two evenings of glow minis at Zilker (these are not Club events):

Mike Schulgen will be running glow random draw doubles on Thursdays. On Facebook’s Fellow Disc Golfers page was a posting from Mike about it: Starting Thursday, November 8th, at Zilker Park... Random Draw Night Doubles... we will be lighting up all the baskets for a great season in the park... $5-entry, $5-acepot ... if no ace is hit, we will CTP for it after each round :-) .. doubles will be every Thursday starting at dark...


Justin Davis will be running glow singles on Mondays. On Facebook’s Fellow Disc Golfers page were some comments from Justin about it: Continuation of the Monday Working People’s mini; It will be last call at sunset.


And as a bonus to get the glow season off to a great start… The Waterloo Club will be having a CTP for a Disc Nation gift certificate tomorrow at the Thursday random draw doubles, and a CTP for a Dick’s Sporting Goods gift certificate next week at the Monday singles. We had these ready to give away at our Fall League finale last week, but we got caught up in awards and partying and never did the CTP contest (DOH!). Mike and Justin both worked hard running our leagues this year so we are going to take the certificates to their minis and give them away.

Now it’s time to light up your discs, thumb your nose at the dark, and play disc golf all night!

Thanks,
Waterloo Disc Golf Club

The total donation from the 35th Waterloo Disc Golf Classic to Austin Ronald McDonald House (RMH) came to $4,500 in cash, $200 worth of food and household goods, and 15 ‘gallon jugs’ full of can tabs. We haven’t gotten an updated figure lately, but a few years ago RMH said that each jug of can tabs equated to a family’s 1-night stay at the House. Many of the jugs came from SADA, way to go South Side!

Thank you very much to all the sponsors, players, and staff who made this great tournament and this wonderful donation possible!

Our fundraising grand totals now from all the Waterloo Disc Golf Classic Tournaments since 1999 are:

Donated to Austin Ronald McDonald House
$80,000 in cash
$1,000 worth of food, household goods, and toys
102 ‘gallon jugs’ full of can tabs

Donated to Austin Parks Foundation
$1,500 in cash

Raised and Spent on Disc Golf Projects here in the Austin Area
$12,500 in cash

More info about the tournament, results, etc can be found in the 35th Waterloo thread under the PDGA Tournament section.
