Just FYI, I have started a new thread under clubs on discgolfersR.us, go to discgolfersR.us and click on clubs, then type in The Lodge at Taylor Ranch. This will be a site where we can share information on happenings and improvements here at The Lodge. Please join.

Since we in Tulsa consider all of you brothers away from home, I would like to inform you of an opportunity to communicate in person with the PDGA. The objective is not a lynch mob but a way for our strong disc golf region to address any concerns that we have with our parent organization. Disc golf in this region has exploded over the last 5 years. It was not long ago that we could barely host an A tier. Now with Worlds, A tiers, B tiers and our second NT about to take place, we as a region are being watched and listened too. It would be a great idea for both of the Fort Smith and Fayetteville clubs to have a representative at this meeting. All are welcome but please hold it to one speaker if possible. We as a region are strong and we need to continue to be so.

From John Duesler, posted on the TDSA threads 1/14/09.

Hello Tulsa disc golfers. As the new Director of Marketing and Communications, I am pleased to see your passion for the PDGA and disc golf. We saw it during the great events Kevin, Joe and David Wise and Coda helped organize in the past (culminating with the Worlds and your second NT event this year), and we see it now with your observations on the message board.

To provide a more effective forum of communication, Brian Graham and I are planning to meet with any of the Tulsa disc golfers (and NT Touring Pros) during a Forum at the April NT event at the Lodge. Our goal here is not just to field your concerns, but to begin establishing what could be a more effective way to communicate in the future (i.e. better than just the message board.) This will occur Friday night of the event.

Our suggested format would consist of the following...

a. Opening remarks from our host...Jim Taylor (Thanks Jim!)

b. A Statement from Brian Graham and one from John Duesler generally related to some of your PDGA concerns.

c. Then comments from the following (in either order...)
--The Oklahoma State PDGA Coordinator

--A Tulsa DG Club Representative(s)

d. Then Open Floor to Comments.

I would suggest that you prepare your comments for this meeting, as well as your recommendations for a better relationship with the PDGA in the future.

In the meantime, my phone number is 215-913-0569 and I have a skype account at jdflyer44. I welcome you to use any of these methods to contact me directly.

Thanks and see you in April.

sschumacher · Jan 14 2009, 11:43 AM

Great.

Now we're offering the Arkies a voice at this deal?

I guess this means we're going to have to hire a translator.

twoputtok · Jan 14 2009, 12:01 PM

The invite was for the Tulsa club but they also invited touring pros. Ft Smith and Fayettville are basicaly in our back yard. They have helped us and we have helped them. They need to be involved.

evandmckee · Jan 14 2009, 12:08 PM

This is a good opportunity, Thanks!!

Rod07Ger · May 04 2009, 04:01 PM

May 4th (In different room, "THE DAVIS MEETING ROOM")

Just wondering if the scheduled meeting is still on for tonight ???

ChrisEads · May 04 2009, 05:49 PM

Yes the meeting is still on for tonight. Evan wont be there but I will be running it instead as far as the room goes evan didnt say anything about it being any different so I will find out when I get there.

TeeBirdPoop · May 14 2009, 06:44 PM

Is anyone hosting a Discraft Ace Race this year?

evandmckee · May 14 2009, 08:59 PM

Our local Discraft Pro Terry Blanton has expressed interest in doing one again

actually I believe that he buys enough Discraft that the Big D considers thereselves sponsored by him

nothing finalized as of yet

evandmckee · Sep 01 2009, 05:25 PM

Just a reminder, with Labor Day coming up our monthly WAFDA meeting is set for Monday, September 14th, 7pm, Library on Rogers Ave. in the "Board Room"

Evan, I hope Phil is coming to the meeting tonight I've got WAFDA money to turn in !!!!!!

ps. that's better than Monopoly money too !!!!!

twoputtok · Sep 14 2009, 04:04 PM

Roger, you need to be sure and tel them about the car you won in a ring of fire.

Rod07Ger · Sep 14 2009, 05:19 PM

I hope somebody will be there besides Evan, because he already knows I won the car this weekend !!!!!

Next year I'm hoping for a truck !!!! Maybe a Black Avalanche !!!!

ChrisEads · Sep 15 2009, 10:03 AM

Evan how do you use the club for the TD test. I cant figure out how to take the discount.

evandmckee · Sep 15 2009, 01:51 PM

Chris, I called the main office and they said to email Addie at aisbell@pdga.com , tell her what you are looking for and she will take care of it

Rod07Ger · Mar 02 2010, 11:53 AM

To much Horseshoe Canyon I guess !!!!!

I guess, where on for next month !!!!

AlmaWillie · Mar 02 2010, 02:50 PM

Maybe we need to move our meeting times to a time that is more convenient for everyone. I am as bad as most at not getting free for, or even remembering, the meetings, so I am not griping, just saying. I know that some of our members now have new responsibilities that make our meeting time all but impossible, so maybe we need to look into a new time.

ChrisEads · Mar 02 2010, 07:06 PM

I agree with Willie. I say we list the best times for each member. and find a best time for the most people to be there. Mine is friday night and all weekend. But i def cant do anything during the week as i am always on the road now.

AlmaWillie · Mar 02 2010, 08:03 PM

The only bad night for me is Thursday night, consistently. As of right now, day time meetings on the weekends are not great, due to my work on the house, but hopefully that will be over by the next months meeting. Probably, a weekend day, maybe after a mini, would be a good time for me so I have an excuse to go to a mini!

evandmckee · Mar 04 2010, 03:21 PM

my opinion - I like the idea of quarterly meetings, combine em' after a mini to boost member participation - go over the typical reporting, membership #'s, financials, committee reports, ect. in an orderly fashion.

Most financial & event planning can be done thru e-mails, phone, ect. - financials can be turned in once a month or so to Phil during mini's, ect. - I've missed very few meetings and have been doing it for 5 YEARS, some of you may remember weekly meetings with the formation of the club - 13 weeks straight - we know what's necessary to efficiently run the org and it doesn't take place around a table once a month

AlmaWillie · Mar 04 2010, 10:31 PM

I do remember the days of weekly meetings at the beginning. And I think you are completely right about most of the work being done outside the "board room". I just get frustrated that we only have 3 or 4 consistent members that take the interest to show up to meetings. I can't remember the last time we had a FULL board at the meeting, usually we are scratching, or calling folks, to get quorum. And I know that we have those on the board who can't make meetings, and we don't have people to step-up to fill in those board spots. I guess that is the frustration..... Anyway, I would just like to see more interest in the workings of the club, so if it needs to be quarterly meetings to get this, then let's do it. We can always call special meetings for new business or tourney needs.

Speaking of tourneys........ What is a good date in April for a Chester sanctioned event. Regular disc golf this time. I'm ready!!

evandmckee · Mar 05 2010, 10:47 AM

hey Willie, let me check my calendar when I get home for a good date

AlmaWillie · Mar 31 2010, 03:07 PM

Meeting next Monday?
I would like to have a discussion on a Chester Tournament date put on the agenda please. Would like to get one put on pretty quick while the grass and briars are still short!

evandmckee · Mar 31 2010, 03:42 PM

Yes - Club Meeting this Monday, 7pm, Library

Willie, I'd love to see something in Chester, current schedule:

Apr. 10 - Razorback Classic - Fayetteville
Apr. 10 - Jonesboro SN Event
Apr. 17 & 18 - Chandlerstock & Glass Blown Open
Apr. 24 - War on the Shore - Russellville
May 1 - Centennial Cup - Owasso
May 8 or 9th ?
May 15-16 - Ark. Sate Championships
May 22-23 - ?
May 29-30 - Bella Vista Open

(?) I have a schedule at home I need to check to make sure these are open

I'm either playing, running or staffing all of the above, almost like I'm on Tour

AlmaWillie · Mar 31 2010, 03:47 PM

I'm thinking I need to go for May 8th, as that could be my birthday present to myself!!

And, that looks like the soonest one I could get in, so shorter grass (unless I do the Sunday after War on the Shore, April 25th).

evandmckee · Mar 31 2010, 04:10 PM

Sunday after War on the Shore has an event in Hot Springs

(Players Challenge - Monthly Series)

I know Little Rock, Hot Springs and Russellville are involved in this, I doubt we'd pull many from that area anyway, maybe better for May 8th - make a B-Day Bash out of it, cool local event perhaps

AlmaWillie · Apr 05 2010, 03:24 PM

WAFDA meeting tonight in the Ft. Smith Library @ 7pm. Please, anyone who is able, make it out to support your club. This is the time of year when things really pick up, and we need all the help and support/ideas we can get.
See you there.
