As some of you may already know, Charlie Bauersfield was diagnosed with an aggressive strain of lymphoma in March. Charlie's fight is just as aggressive. He has the heart of a lion, and will give no quarter. Here is a link to a recent story from the Olathe News.

If you have ever talked with Charlie or played a round of golf with him, then you know what an inspriation he is.

He has played in Lincoln in the past and I've talked to him at the Friz. What a guy. Puts your petty complaints into perspective.

Charlie is a true gentleman with a heart of gold. And Charlie's tough...tough as they come. A round of golf with Charlie is always a rewarding experience...as he has his own unique ways of sharing his perspectives that always add an interesting twist. Go Charlie!! We'll tee it up soon!!

Am sorry to report that Charlie peacefully passed away last night...RIP my friend.

In remembrance of Charlie Bauersfeld, #22174:

A Celebration of Life will be held Thursday July 3rd at 10am at Church of the Resurrection, Wesley Covenant Chapel, 135th & Roe Blvd, Leawood, KS. The family will receive friends from 6-8pm Wednesday evening (July 2nd) at the same location.

We miss ya, Charlie...

Charlie was such an inspiration with the way he went about challenging life and disc golf in particular and making it work at a high level. The fact he made it thru the Highbridge courses at the Mid-Nationals was a testament to his tenacity and spirit as a true gamer. R.I.P.

If you didn't know Charlie or especially if you did you may be interested in reading this article we dug up from an old Disc Golf World about him at the Worlds in Des Moines in 04.
