PLEASE LET THE OLD THREAD DIE SO WE CAN GET THE TITLE SPONSOR RECOGNITION

DON�T FORGET THE HUNTSVILLE EVENT THIS SATURDAY!!!! Ben has promised to have the titledisc.com information up late tonight or early tomorrow morning, and the deadline for signing up early and getting a players pack for AMS has been extended through when titledisc.com closes down Thursday night, so get your sign ups in early!
I have included sponsorship information below as well. Our wonderful sponsors are the reason we are able to make the players pack and other cool things during the series happen. Let me know if you would like to become a sponsor!
Give me a call if you have any questions (832) 279-8084.

SPONSORSHIP INFORMATION
Dear friend,
As a big supporter of Disc Golf activities, I thought you might be interested in supporting this years Lone Star Series. The series has grown to ten qualifying events and we pride ourselves on offering well-run quality events. We changed the name from Gulf Coast Championship Series to Lone Star Series this year because the Bonus payout will be paid at the 2006 Texas States Disc Golf Championships!
A portion of the entry fee from each Lone Star Series event will be donated to the Houston Food Bank and other local charities. During the first three years of the series, over $2,500 has been donated.
It will take quite an effort to raise the funds for this year�s amateur players packs.
This is only possible through cash and merchandise donations from our sponsors. 100% of all donations will go directly to the players.
As you can see outlined below, there is a level for everyone. I hope that you will choose to help the cause. While you can send me your donation at any point during the series, please let me know if you are planning to participate and at what level as soon as possible. This will allow us to recognize you at all ten events.
Also, let me know if you have any corporate leads that I could use to try to get sponsorship for the series and for Texas States. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly at (832) 279-8084. As you can see, if you come on at the Diamond Sponsor level you will get recognition at Texas States as well. It would be an honor to count you as a sponsor.
Yours in Flight,
John S. Edwards III
Tournament Director
P.S. Every little bit helps and all it takes is a pledge to start getting recognition today.

Wow, a disc golf website named after me! Sweet!
For anyone who is confused, for the remaining events, you will receive a players pack if you register via mail, by giving me a check or cash at another event, or by titledisc by the FRIDAY before the event.
For this one, anyone who registers before titledisc is cut off early in the morning on Friday will get a players pack. That is any player, any division�

I would like to state for the record that everything I posted regarding TPCC was out of my own anger and my own problems with anger management.
I have no basis in fact for any of the disparaging remarks I made about Park, Corey, Gimp, Park's dad or Kacie. Nothing I said about the activities there which I never witnessed was based in any truth.
What happened between Park and a business associate was just business and had nothing to do with me.
Chris never asked me to post anything about any of it, and I feel I betrayed the freindship of a good man who's done a lot for the disc golf community and the charity and the players he loves.
It was all a mistake and the mistake was completely mine, and no one else's.
Park runs a clean business and Chris and he had a viable partnership that benefitted both busineses and both individuals.
What I did was wrong and I regret it.
My sincerest wish is that none of this will be a reflection on anyone but me, and to any and all of the people who's lives and businesses I damaged you have my deepest, heartfelt apologies.
Sincrely,
Mark Allan Atwood

Final numbers for the series... If you played ONE event you can win MORE at Texas States... :D
A few people have asked and the August LSS date listed on the LSDGA site. This date has been canceled.
Burn out lasted a little longer than normal this year because of the two Texas States we ran along with all the other events during the last 12 months. The first LSS event this year will be the Hitchcock date listed on the www.lsdga.org (http://www.lsdga.org) page. Thank you for all of the support!

Gimp, you are the man, nice talking to you today. Hope you can make Carrollton this year. It's been a long time.

Hitchcock will be groomed out by September.
With the buzz of Jack Brooks Park in Hitchcock getting another 18 holes this fall, players have been working on the existing course.
Plan on helping Gimp get over end-of-the-year burn-out by attending the kick-off tournament at Brooks in September.

It's better to delay and have a well-rested TD running events rather than a burned-out TD not running events.
Looking forward to version 5.0 of the series...
Good lord this really will be the 5th one - maybe that is why I am so tired? There will be players that will ask where Gimp is when they show up to Hitchcock though :D
