Alma Minis

[evandmckee]

Alright Sports Fans.........

Alma Mini's are Back

Basically same as last year, but with a few special twists

Skill Divisions are available

Pro, Adv., Am, Beginner for men and ladies
age protected divisions may be offered on an as needed basis

We will be doing this for the next 8 week-ends (May 24 - July 19)

each Sunday be registered before 2pm, tee-off between 2 & 2:15
1 round of 18

Pro: top third of the field(s) paid in cash
Amateurs: top third of the field(s) paid in disc merch

Cost: Pro $6
Ams $5
optional $1 ace pot

$1 of the pro entry is donated to WAFDA, remaining $5 to payout
100% Am payout in merch

In addition to the weekly payouts I will be adding trophies for overall end of "league" finishes as well as other prizes, ect.

there will be a CTP prize sponsored by me every Sunday

I have an Innova Traveller Basket that I am going to GIVE AWAY on the final mini on July 19 as well as other merch

for each mini that you make, you will get 1 CTP throw (reachable with a mid/putter by a rec)

CTP will be the basket, 2nd, 3rd, ect. will be other stuff (just 1 prize per participant)

as many of you know, this course is gonna need some serious maintenance in the few weeks before the Alma Greens (June 27)

I will be offering additional "Finals CTP's" and just plain old CTP's as well as food, ect. for when we start some planned work before some of these mini's

Hope to see many old and new friends out there

have some fun, hang with some friends, get your game on, get some karma built up for a helluva good event

this will be building up to our........

5th Annual Alma Greens, June 27

PDGA B Tier, Southern National Qualifier,
Ark. USDGC Spot Qualifier, E.D.G.E. Fundraiser

Evan I think WAFDA should seed the ace pot. Dont you????? hahaha looking forward to this. And if we can get a lot of help cleaning this place up that would be great. So please if you read this and have the afternoon off feel free to come out and at least help move distractions out of the way. Like trash and logs and things of that nature.

[evandmckee]

I think that the WAFDA Co-Chairman should personally seed an Alma ace pot

it would be cool to see it build and thrown off for at the end of the 8 weeks (and I win it)

I just updated wafda.org with all of our mini and league info, this should and will be the "official info" place

basically the league part of Alma is top finisher in each division that has at least 4 out of 8 rounds will get end of year trophies/prizes, each week of participation will deduct 1 stroke, best 4 rounds are used

the fun thing will be the CTP throw offs for the end of the league
you can win an Innova Traveller Basket or several other cool things that I will be throwing in

[Rod07Ger]

A disc golf league sounds good to me and the options seem intriguing if this trial league gets the response it should get !!

The # of disc golfers that participate will determine the success of this league !!!

But as always the one that has the most Fun wins !!!

[evandmckee]

I just found out that the Alma Fireworks Show is set for Friday, July 3, 2009

it has become traditional for a "fun" round with optional side-betting being encouraged but not neccesary

we will tee around 6:15pm, fireworks will be at dusk

there are grills out there for anyone wanting to cook something before or after the round

it has always been awesome with the amount of non-disc golfers watching us and asking quesions, ect., fun exposure for the sport and a great time to be had

[evandmckee]

We are on for this Sunday, 2pm tee-off

We had an amazing turnout in the rain last Sunday, around 16 players including 3 ladies!!

I will hopefully get last weeks results on here after this week's round

Hey Guys (and girls) of disc golf.

First off I want to apologize for the lack of participation by the "ALMA" folks at the Alma minis and work time. With the addition to the house, the end of school, money constraints, and some various illnesses in the family we have been totally covered up and unable to play. I had not touched a disc, outside of my own yard, in 2 months until today.

Anyway, I will be unable to attend ALma Greens as it is the day of my kids first official "Friends-at-the-House" Birthday Party. I will try to be there that morning and be sure things get set up and going well. I will also try my best to be at the work day this Sunday and put my time in on the course. It will all depend on what is going on with the house, which depends on the weather.

I was able to go out today, as Shawna had to do some shopping in Ft. Smith, and laser the Greenwood course hole distances and play the holes for the first time. I put the info on the Greenwood posting.

I hope we can get many out this weekend to work on the course, and hope to be one of them.

[AlmaWillie]

hope to see a bunch getting the course even more groomed and their game in the groove for next week's Alma Greens

[MattScott]

No mini tomorrow and possibly no mini july 4th weekend.

[AlmaWillie]

Everyone don't forget the mini and fireworks display in Alma tomorrow night, July 3rd!!!

It is always a great time! We will do a mini, teeing off at 6:15, then you can hang out up top to watch the fireworks display, or go down to the pool and relax in the "Aquatics" center and watch the fireworks! Either way, we have a great time, and you will have a GALLERY up top, with all of the folks waiting for the fireworks!! That should get you ready for Worlds!

Hope to see ya;ll there!

[evandmckee]

Fireworks in Alma Rock!!

Ya'll have fun, I'd love to be there but have had something come up that I must do

Alma League will begin again on Sunday July 12, finals will still be the 19th
both of these results will be doubled so more can get in on the 4 rounds, partipation strokes and league final ctp throws will also double

Don't forget: Alma Fireworks show and disc golf fun Fri. July 3rd, 6:15 for the mini

Alma League is back the following week-end, Sunday July 12th, 2:15 tee-off

[AlmaWillie]

We had a Great turn out for the mini on the 3rd!! 10 players shoed up to play, with a very strong showing from NWA (Thanks everyone)!! We generated ALOT of interest for the sport, giving a few discs away to interested folks, and leaving a couple talking to Shawna as we moved on to holes 3 and 4!!

At the end of the mini Roger came out with the winning score of 52, Buck and myself tied for second with 55's.

I want to thank everyone again for coming out, and I hope to play many more rounds with you in the future!!

[evandmckee]

I heard that the Ring of Fire was awesome

anyone know if they're rescheduling the fireworks show after the "mishap"

[twoputtok]

You guys had a fireworks mishap also? Two shows in Tulsa had a problem and were canceled.

[evandmckee]

yes, side of the dam in Alma is charred, I wasn't there but I understand that a shell went where it wasn't supposed to and fire spread quickly, 1 fire truck on site on top of the dam trying to keep the flames away from the fireworks and other trucks couldn't get in becaus the place was so packed, they evacuated it

usually the whole side of the dam and the hill where the ob line is off of hole 5 is way grown up, we're lucky that they mowed the dang thing for the Alma Greens or it would of been a bigger fire

An unnamed golfer snuck back in the place and took a real cool pix of the sillouette of a basket with fire in the back ground, tried to upload it but the stupid alltel site is under maintenance

anyways show is cancelled, hopefully they will be able to do it again next year

it has become a local tradition to go play golf before the show, it's amazing the number of people that show up and start asking questions about the sport

I heard about Wagle's incident in Tulsa from the TDSA thread, hope that he recovers well

[evandmckee]

League Play, this Sunday, July 12, tee at 2:15

come out and qualify for some ctp throws for the basket, looks like we'll have 2 mini baskets up for the final league day on the 19th instead of the traveller

final league awards per division will be gave on the 19th also

if you've never made a league day, come out the 12th & 19th anyway because the results will double to get you in on league standings (4 rounds are neccessary)

hope to see several there, come enjoy Alma while the course is still looking sweet
