Ganzel's stepped down from the state coordinator position and I have been appointed to fill out the rest of the term.

I can be contacted thru the "contact" icon at the top of this page or by phone (479)651-0417.

I look forward to helping serve and promote this great sport on a larger level thru this position.

Feel free to post questions on this thread or contact me thru e-mail or phone with anything that I may be able to help with.

Sincerely,
Evan McKee

Sweet and Sour announcement.
Hate to hear that Ganzel stepped down, but glad to have you in the position. I heard someone say a few years back that you would be the SC some time and that you would make an excellent one. Noone can deny that you are very sincere about promoting the sport!!

Can't wait to see what you can do!!
Willie

Sweet and Sour announcement.
Hate to hear that Ganzel stepped down



It's something that Ganzel wanted to do, he'll be more freed up this way to continue other DG projects and also him and lots other people are still great advisers to me and very valuable to the sport on many levels

<font color="red"> BOOM - It's different than the past couple of years but the results will be as good and hopefully even more.......The Changes are made to mimic the USDGC as much as possible </font>

Do you want to go to the best tournament in the World?

Where do I go to file a complaint?

I don't know about this new ASC. :confused:

I thought you had to be a "pro" to be in that position.

I guess they let anyone in now days. ;)

I thought you had to be a "pro" to be in that position.





kinda like you're a pro when you're in certain "positions" :eek:

Ok you Two Finger Nose Picking Burger Slinger. :mad:

We will battle again in the future so your SC title will be on the line. After I de-throne you I will be taking over in Arkie Land. With me at the helm maybe then you all will be able to afford indoor plumbing. :D

indoor plumbing is so over rated :p

almost as over rated as a course pro at a pitch-n-putt on a hill

we use hills like that in Arkie Land for our ants to live in /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

UPDATED 09 ARKANSAS USDGC CHAMPIONSHIP INFO

The Razorback Classic has been added, Oct. 18th, PDGA C Tier, U of A Old Main Lawn (temp course) in Fayetteville

Qualifiers from HOTB may also be viewed

FULL INFO ON DISCGOLFERS R US (http://discgolfer.ning.com/group/2009arkusdgcspot)

I screwed up yesterday on the qualifiers



FIXED RESULTS MAY BE VIEWED AT DISC GOLFERS R US (http://discgolfer.ning.com/group/2009arkusdgcspot)

WAFDA.org is back online, please be patient as I get new content to fill in the holes of this years events, ect.

the first thing that I've done with it is build as "complete" of a schedule that I'm aware of

it's pretty lengthy, lots of stuff going on in this area

check it out and let me know if anything needs changed

Razorback Classic's date has had to change to Sunday the 19th of October, I've changed it on the schedule at WAFDA.org

Crap for baskets (http://fayar.craigslist.org/crs/876192901.html)

Players that qualified for the 2009 Arkansas USDGC Spot Championship (http://discgolfer.ning.com/group/2009arkusdgcspot) for the Razorback Classic are now listed

and yes, I have changed the pre-pay requirement, there is still a $20 entry fee that will go back 100% to the top third of the field, it has been unpractical and imo a not neccesary aspect of this event to expect pre-payment for this event so far out, I carried the "copying the real USDGC qualifying procedures" too far with that

Next qualifier is the CanyonFest at Horseshoe Canyon on Nov. 15 & 16 :cool:

Results for qualifiers for the 09' Arkansas State Rep Championship (http://discgolfer.ning.com/group/2009arkusdgcspot) from the 08' Canyonfest are posted

Howdy Arkansas Disc Golfers,

http://discgolfer.ning.com/group/2009arkusdgcspot is updated with info about Friday qualifying and financials for the Ark. USDGC Rep Championship

hopefully we'll break the $700 mark to the USDGC Rep, keep in mind that there's a 100% top 1/3 payout from the $20 entry which is basically seperate, entry fee payout is for both rounds total (if you make the 2nd round after the cut - you cash, top third plus ties for last cash will advance to the 2nd round) the USDGC spot and the Prize money to help you get there is for the best score of round 2 ($616 plus whatever is took in from Fri. Qualifying and additional bag tag sales)

wanted to get word out that hole 5 will be played with a mando to the right of the small tree with the trash can

Scores for the Arkansas USDGC Spot Championship can be found at

Congratulations to Thor Holoch, Arkansas 2009 USDGC Rep.

Thor is the 1997 PDGA Men's Advanced World Champion

Best of Luck representing Arkansas Disc Golf!!

the event provided him $854 to help him get to Roc Hill :)

Hey State Coordinator!

Any Ace Races in the books for Fort Smith area?

I was considering one out at the Backwoods course, but it has to be after the ticks disappear, and that time frame is REALLY getting booked up fast!

So maybe an Alma, or Ben Geren one? Or maybe just hang loose and do another Super Class, or a Super Class Ace Race, in November or December?

Any thoughts or suggestions?

AlmaWillie

AlmaWillie, Backwoods and Super Class ROCK !!!!!! :)

That's my vote, but I'm good either way !!!! :) :D :cool:

Good, I know at least he'll try to Friday qualify, hopefully we get more to make Friday worth the effort

I'll be out there tomorrow at 10 to help you do whatever needs to be done. I'm spreading the word about everything so we may have enough locals show up to make it worth being out there.
