Thanks, I'll pick up the cement today. I'll bring a large cooler of water to mix in too. I think just behind the hill to the right is going to be the best spot. That way the motorcyle punks can still jump the hill.

Universal City Disc Golf Coarse has relocated hole C! It is a little closer and has Been inserted into the ground with Boulder's and cement! It is off of the hill so the biker's won't knock it down again. It will be birdied soon now!
Just a little update for the folk's that didn't play yesterday!

320 pounds of concrete, 8 lengths of rebar, and probably 150 pounds of rocks!! This baby will survive WWIII! I pity the fools who try and yank this one out of the ground :D

Thanks to everyone who helped... RT and Russ Evans, Chris Himing, John Arick, Carlos Molina, and Jerry Hearn.

It will be birdied!! $20 bounty from the league ace pot for a birdie on this monster :)

Tara DeLeon wins am!

Click away!

YEAH!!! TARA!!!! WAY TO GO GIRL!!!! :cool:

LOLO'S!!!!! :D

Yeah, way to go Tara. Way to break it off in Chainchinger and those other guys. I almost made it out there but decided to play Pease instead. Good thing, hit an ace for $250 and tied Vinnie for 1st another $35 :D

Congrat's on your ace sir Torres. But don't you think your ace would of been worth more hit during the League Mini's! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I think all the Ace's for our league have already been hit. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D

We shall see my friend , we shall see! I hope to join the ace club ;) soon Sir!

http://home.grandecom.net/~bschmidt/LODGA_Monthly_Mini_Guidelines.pdf

I will play my 2 rounds tomorrow and let you know the score. I will be in Lewisville on Saturday doing a little thing I call Texas 10.

Brian knows where to send my winnings and CTP money. :eek:

We'll miss you Chris, that Aussie money spends good! Have fun in Lewisville!

Live Oak format for this Saturday...

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,11A,11B,11C,12,14,15,28

11C from the flags not the tee box.

Lotsa ace runs!

I was thinking about heading down for this but not if you guys are not playing any of the long holes :confused:

11A, B and C are 600, 600, 700. 15 is 535. UC has 3 holes over 450. Come on down!

Long, Super Long or Short...doesn't really matter, Seewhere still wouldn't cash :D

Have fun guys, see you next Thursday.

FOUL FOUL no hitting below the belt Chris. :o:D

chain chinger you know that is the only place chris can hit since that is about where his head is :eek:

After a rough start, Smokin Joe hits 6 birdies in a row to win the pro division. John "and his dog Blue" Arick double tap with the am win and the CTP!

Sounds like Joe was SMOKING ;) :D

How about some scores from the big money mini

I dont have scores, but a good time had by all...division winners:

Open - Carlos
Adv - Brian P
Int - Joe "Papa's got a brand new Bagger" Soto

Need more players next month!! Come on out!! :)

"Make sure you bring old discs. We are making donations to some schools in August, giving away some Innova Traveler Baskets and whatever discs we can come up with. We will have a box available at the tournament"



Hey everybody I got this post from the CCO thread and was wondering if anybody wanted to donate and Jim and I will take them with us when we go down there on Friday.
Third Coast has always supported Live Oak it's our turn to help out. Jim or I will be at the mini on Thursday with a box to collect them. :cool:

Thanks Baby :)

Who, what, where, etc for the Maxi Mini on Saturday?

I want to see how much money I will win next month :D

No results, no smack, no nothing.....

No clue. Maybe it was a secret squirrel mini.

Anyone know the date of the next one?

13th of August :DI think /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

13th of August :DI think /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif



:confused: Dave actually thinks? Who knew? :confused: :D

dont think about it we dont want you to strain yourself

Where are yesterdays scores??? Did Joe Smoke again? :D:D

No Joe there, haven't had time to put it all together. Probably Monday. Ben Vallejo smokes the field last night though at -7, I was second at -3. Played the long format.

Wow Ben shot that good. ;) about time.

Congrat's on the Victory Brian! Your round rating's were good!
Way to represent LODGA'S! Sweet Ace Pete!

Where are yesterdays scores??? Did Joe Smoke again? :D:D



So did Chile win this weekend? :D:D

Does anyone remember who hit the CTP last Tuesday, Keith didn't write it on the score sheet.

Also, last Tuesday, was it Jason Hess or Jayson Houston who played. All I got is "Jason H" on the score sheet, and we know Keith can't spell ;) Whoever it was shot a 55.

Jason Hess I believe

So was it Jason Hess who hit the CTP?

Posted at www.lodga.com (http://www.lodga.com)

The 55 was mine, Tracy Olsen and John Arick For CTP I believe Tracy was first place on that

ok, i'll fix it today.


Spincerely, RT...By the Way, I only Like being on a Positive Card! Screw the Negative!




Sometimes the behaviour of others on the card causes negative attitudes.

Billy Nelson is looking for Jerry Lively, if you have his number please have him call Billy at 361-510-6699. Billy will be in town around 11:30 so if you want some shrimp call him. He will not be at the mini.

Good point Chris, I thought about that after the fact.

Saw Jim at Mohawk yesterday and he said he was feeling good and enjoying the courses. He is currently in 2nd place with plenty of golf to go.

As for the photo...who the ??? took that?

The big guy maybe Billy Sims who was at the players meeting and it was his BBQ company.

Off to work for a 5th straight day. Now I know why I do one day events :D

YODA! YODA! YODA!

Off topic... Is the monthly mini going to be held on August 12th?? And if so... what kind of turnouts do you commonly get?

Thanks,

JD

The big money mini was just started last month, and we had about 15-18 players. Expecting more August 12th.

It will be a nice payout, so bring it!

While there check out some of my pics from DC and Philly.

Come to Live Oak this Saturday at 10am for two rounds of Big Money Mini fun. Details at www.lodga.com (http://www.lodga.com)

Excellent, I will be in town for this one. :D

sounds like FUN which holes will be played at the LO course?

We'll go big just for you Ware!

Even better, we get to take Ware's money as well. :D

Long or short...I'm going Swedish :eek:

cool I am going to plan on being there to smack around the aussie. :D

Keep it short. C-ware won't show anyway. He just does weather reports. :D

wow you guys are slaking non smack talk today? What are the results from the Big Money Monthly Mini?



I got smacked enough at the Big Monthly Mini. I hit trees and they hit back. :(

I heard through the grapevine. That Mckibben isn't alone anymore with His ACE! Congrat's! Smokin Joe! Hole 11 UC!

Roger that! Let the flood gates open!

Hole "D" at UC was pulled out and thrown into the creek bed. This Saturday at 8:30 am we are going to replant the basket with 320 pounds of concrete and rebar. I'm taking the money from the party fund to cover the cost. Please come out and help us plant another immovable object.

I'm glad school's getting ready to start so these scumbag vandals can concentrate on getting kicked out of school to become fry cooks or heroin addicts for the rest of their pathetic lives.

Maybe a piece of rebar in the neck will fix them. A life as a burger tosser also sounds likely and appropriate.

Any chance of planting the new hole on Sunday as Texas 10 in Austin is Saturday. That is if you need more helpers. If not sorry I can't be there.

Congrats to Joe T for taking half of McK's ace money. I'll be there Thursday night Joe to get my rightful 3rd place spot back. :D

Great Job Smoken Joe ;)Welcome to the 2006 Live Oak League Ace Club :) :DWho will be next :DThere's still plenty of room left and a month and a half to go :D

Chris, I won't be making the Texas 10, and the others who usually help on the course rarely go to events outside the Live Oak area. We'll have plenty of local help. Good luck up North!

No worries, thanks.

By the way Dave and Joe I am thinking a split of the ace pot will go down under nicely. I'm not greedy...I will split it 3 ways. :D

I will gladly split it three ways but would be even happier to spliting it twenty ways :Dso come on Live Oakers come get your slice of the pie /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

www.lodga.com (http://www.lodga.com)

And yes, Smokin Joe aces hole 11 with a side arm. Congrats!

Congrats Smokin Joe on your ACE!!

Come get you one Chile :D

I'll be out Thursday to pick up a birthday ace :D

I'm gonna try, I'll be there on thursday. LLIIIVVEE OOOAAAAKKKK!!!!!

It shouldnt be that hard for you if I was able to get one :D

They are not so EZ Dave your just a good player like Joe ;)

G'day Fellow Live Oakers :D

Looking forward to playing the mini tonight at LO. I will be bringing along a few samples of the new hats and shirts I have for sale.

Before I get there can someone cool it down about 20 degrees?

Thanks
Chris

Would you all like some ICE?

RT you have a PM.

They are not so EZ Dave your just a good player like Joe ;)



Chile, evidently you have never played a round of disc golf with Dave. :D

Maybe Carlos needs to put me on Dave's card ;) :D

You just want to make your game look good. :D

The only thing I want is an ACE!! :cool:;)

Your wish is granted only thing is you were on One's tee pad and you ace hole 5 :o:D

that counts?

Nice ACE for Larry :) and Pete Lopez ace on the ctp hole. See you guys next week.

Dave's piece of the pie just got smaller. :D

I will gladly split it three ways but would be even happier to spliting it twenty ways :Dso come on Live Oakers come get your slice of the pie /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif



if you would have played last night Jody you might have gotten your first roller ace cuz we played hole 8 :o:D

:mad:I've given up rollers, I'm on a 12 step program :D

That's about how far your drivers go too (12 step program) :o:D

I have no response...That was a good one. :cool:
Current Score: Jody:1,640,923 Dave: 1

Just remember that Dave is #1 :D

Next time I see you I'll remind you that you are number one, with a one finger salute. :D:D

I have no response...That was a good one. :cool:
Current Score: Jody:1,640,923 Dave: 1



:D:D:DThanks for laughs guys, needed that this morning.... :p

I would be the same way Baby if I had to live with Jimbob :DI cant imgane having to wake up next to him like you and Jody do :o:D

I would be the same way Baby if I had to live with Jimbob :DI cant imgane having to wake up next to him like you and Jody do :o:D



:D:D:D

Then having Jason being jealous doesnt help matter much either :o:D

who's the jealous one here? chinger - you cant seem to get off the subject...if you played as much as you talked smack, youd be unstoppable.

I'll take that to heart Geoffrey, it's always good to get advise from Top Pro's like yourself :D

Are you related to Brad Hammock :D

aw dave - i thought you have thicker skin than that - you must with all the time you spend in the shule :eek: :p

Come on Geoff, get off Dave. Even if he doesn't want you to. :o

Jody dont worry about it Jimbob still like your love :o:D

aw dave - i thought you have thicker skin than that - you must with all the time you spend in the shule :eek: :p



I do have thick skin but the problem is I have a thicker head :D

you said it, not me.

...off to austin

scores? ;)

UC MINI TONIGHT.
Sign up 545pm. Come play the Un-Moveable baskets! :D

Who won or should I say who was the Bagger :o:D

Shooting 49 is easy, but it's looking good doing it that counts :D:D

Well one out of two aint half bad Gator :D

You're right shooting 49 wasn't easy..... :D

I'm bad I thought you were talking about your waist size :D

I'm tired of taking 3's on this hole (#4 at UC) :(
I usually flick my 171g Champion Firebird, but just can't get enough distance with my flick. :confused:
What do you use? :confused: :D

I use a JK Aviar. It's a short hole. Snap a putter nice and high, and you'll get it there.

Roller??? ;)

I don't throw Aviars, Pro-D Challengers all the way! And I am not a lefty, but thanks Lisle. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

And Joe, a forehand or backhand? :D

Maybe I'll just settle for a 3. :(

Apparently you need to learn an anhyzer... :)

And Joe, all of his roller discs are behind LO #8, remember?


Since I have no knowledge of this hole, can you throw a low thumber so it skips right?

Backhand understable perhaps...Pro-D Challenger...if you have replenished your bags of rollers, of course.

I forehand my Whippet - if the grass is short I'll play the skip, if not, I send it high and let it fall toward the basket.

Flick it.

Carlso Aced that hole last night and Dusty Aced hole 11 at UC /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :DKeep them Aces coming :D

try throwing a flick with something a little less stable than a firebird. you should get more glide out of it.

Keith just dropped off the last 4 events so I should have those in the computer soon. For personal reasons I am no longer involved in the league, but will keep the stats for this year to make it easy on Keith. He has graciously stepped up to keep it going and to run the league party at Hooligans on September 30 at 7pm. I am providing tons of raffle prizes as always including a Basket donated by Chris Himing, so make sure you buy raffle tickets or Keith will lose money on this deal as I have every year.

Good luck, have fun, and treat Keith right. Bee_out.

Haven't been around much this summer because of various reasons but....

What you talking about Willis?

Remember tonight to meet at the pool parking lot.

Thanks
Chris

Dont forget about your cool new inncolor disc Chris would love to see them and get some at a later date :D

Does anyone know if the League standings will be update soon so we know where we are at in the standings :confused: :D

Congratulations to the winners. And thanks to those for running me off, my game has never been better, even without my quad shocks.

The only party details I have are somewhere on a river on Saturday, Septmber 30 starting at 2pm. If I get more details, I'll post them.

Thanks Brian. Please someone post directions and detailed at that. None of this turn left at the horse fence stuff.

If I am going to emcee this shindig then how about the actual awards get started at 6pm. You know I will be on time.

Thanks
Chris

Thanks for posting the results and for everything else you do for the league and Live Oak. I don't think anyone tried to run you off, I've only heard good things said about you, besides people saying you always take their money during the minis. :D They're just praising your game.

From I-35
Take Loop 337 towards New Braunfels, Go over the big bridge to Common Road take Exit right on Gruene Road, just after you cross the Guadalupe River and follow the road to Ervengerg st. turn left, go about 1/4 mile there's a red and white house on the right, just before a dirt road, stay straight dont turn take winding paved road, once on the dirt road stay to the right there is a red metal pole on the left of the enterance of the property. only 200 feet of dirt road to the entrance off of the pavement.

If this doesnt work close your eyes and click your heels three time as you say there's no place like home.

These direction are from Keith ( BIG BIRD) Baker :o:D

Thanks. If I have a problem I will put on my new hat and will blend in more out there so can ask directions. All I need now is a gun and I'm local. :D

Chris you always been a Loco guy to me :o:D

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h114/rtinsa/LODGAPartyDirectionstoGuadalupe.jpg

Thanks RT!

Do you have times when we can get there? Before dinner?
Also, they did say we could camp right?

Now that I don't have a job does that mean I can charge an appearance fee to do the awards? :p

See everyone there. I will be bringing a box of goodies to give away as prizes.

Chris

Congratulations to the winners. And thanks to those for running me off, my game has never been better, even without my quad shocks.



maybe someone can "run me off" my game has hit rock bottom /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I will be bringing out the remaining few discs, hats and bits and pieces I have left. I will have some of the new INNcolor discs as well for anyone that wants those cool Skull designs.

See everyone Saturday.
Chris

cut shocks??????
WOW you guys treat each other like family......The adams family that is :D

If you let them "run you off" then they have won. I can't imagine that anyone would do what I heard was done. That's just wrong. Let's find out who did it, and run them off instead. :cool:

I'll put $10 toward a new set of quad shocks. :cool:

Maybe "run off" was the wrong phrase. It just became a very hostile environment for me, so I chose to leave. Nuf said on this subject, move on.

A good time Saturday night, under the trees by the river. :cool:

im sorry to miss the party it sounded like a good time. played sunday morning at uc. just got a small doubles mini together. I GOT MY FIRST ACE ON HOLE #2 WITH AN ESP WASP!!!! hope everyone is good.

Congrat's Josh! :)

Congrats, Josh :cool:

PS World Dubs-April 07 :D

Good shootin' Josh!

I need to get a hold of that Carlos Molina character. If anyone has a number for him, send me a pm.

Thanxs

thanks everyone. it was unforgetable

New obstacle at U.C.....

Played UC last night. Hole #14 and #15's fairways are now partially blocked by a fenced in area for the city's equipment. It's not a big deal for right-handers, but GOOD LUCK left-handers on those holes.... just FYI.... :D

Not sure how this will effect LOSO and the League....

Now that Brian is leaving, who is gonna run it? :( :confused:

I have my afternoons available and can be at the course by 5:00 latest if whoever wants to volunteer to run this I can help out... I just don't know how to run it alone... :(

Not sure on the start date.
We'll know soon enough.

Thanks RT!! :cool:

Not sure Jerry, will have to wait and see after the move. I sure hope I can make it.

Lets play it by ear, ( wait and see). Good Luck to you and your Family in Dallas.

So does anyone know now? :confused:

Funny, I was wondering the same thing today. :confused:

No doubt fellas, come Park Day (14 Apr) there's gonna be folks wantin' to play if all goes as planned. :cool:I vote a back to basic pro/am like it was. Let's grow the sport. :eek:

I heard rumors that Keith Baker and Carlso will be running them,but dont know for sure :confused: :D

No doubt fellas, come Park Day (14 Apr) there's gonna be folks wantin' to play if all goes as planned. :cool:I vote a back to basic pro/am like it was. Let's grow the sport. :eek:



I agree, basic is good. To be decided:

Include doubles? (Harder to keep track for league than singles)
Include McClain?
Tuesdays at McClain, Thursdays at Live Oak?
Sundays at UC (but not part of the league?)

Let's hear feedback on this...

I vote for Brian Pascally!!!!! :D;)

I like the idea of McClain in the rotation.

As for doubles, just do all one fee but divisional and have Pro/Am random draw doubles. Do payout and have a split of the proceeds between the teams. As for points do as follows:
1st place - Abbott and Costello - 20pts - 10 pts each
2nd place - Marx Brothers - Groucho and Harpo - 16pts - 8 pts each
3rd - Laural and Hardy - 14pts - 7 pts each
4th place - Pereida Bros :D- 12pts - 6pts each

Just a thought.

As for why Abbott and Costelo wins...well everybody knows who's on first.

I'm a big fan of pairing up a pro with an am for random draw doubles (assuming someone can figure out how to add up the points). Doubles usually goes faster, is more forgiving and more exciting. Traditionally, doubles also draws a bigger crowd for minis.

I like the Tue - McClain idea.

I vote for whatever the TD's come up with /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D

Pros and ams as doubles teams are great, as long as there are an equal number of ams and pros. Ams will learn faster playing with better players.

Keep the rule for penalizing two pros by 2 strokes or giving two ams 2 strokes when the number of players dictates that they have to pair up that way.

Hey, We're better than Laural and Hardy :D:D:p :)

I was just sitting here looking over the rules for World Dubs and it hit me, it would be cool on doubles nights to add some variety and play different formats in addition to just best shot. Such as best disc, alternating, and...one night a year...worst shot.

Not preplanned, just an option for the TD to mix it up a little.

Hmmm, worst shot at McClain...I CAN DO THAT! :D

Does anyone have the offical start dates of the mini's?
Or is the answer still..."we'll know soon" ?

Keith will be there and we can discuss the league too.

roger dodger

sorry, wron thread, Keith will be there Monday at Lauras... 5:30

The Texas Women�s Championship 2007 is April 21 & 22; we are interested in Texas club participation of this event. In the past clubs sponsored with merchandise and with man power. We want to see this continue. We want to challenge each club to send the most women from their area. We are trying to break the women only attendance record and what better place than Texas. We can use volunteers to escort, disc golf merchandise for ctps, a Texas size player packs, and anything surrounding lady golf. Something I would like to see our club sponsored girly stations. The club could pick a hole to set up a canopy with water, face wipes, candies and club hospitality towards the players.
The question is not if you are interested, but how you are interested in help.
Contact myself or Ed Coffey to work out the logistics. This is our ladies weekend��.So lets honor them with our support! Let us know your ideas, we maybe the tournament directors, but the event is Texas owned.

Mini starts tomorrow right?

yes, Tuesday at UC 5:45pm. I'll be hitting Dallas traffic about then :(

No Question It's on UC 5:45 Be there

I just wanted to see how everyone else felt about the entry fees? I feel $15.00 for Open is too much for a mini. If I play the three mini's a week, it will cost me $42.00 a week and $168.00 a month. :eek: Good thing Stacey gets off too late to play. I looked at the rules and it states $10 payout, $1 CTP, $1 Party Fund, $1 Ace Pot and $2 Club Fund. I say lower the Club fund to $1 and have the party money taken out of the Club fund at the end of the League. Maybe do away with the CTP? I think that lowers the entry fees $3. I want more people showing up to our Mini's and I think these prices will discourage new players from attending. Let's hear everyone's ideas or suggestions.

I'm just gald that someone stepped up to run the mini's this year, and Bird maybe you just need to get a part time job to support your habit. :o:D

True Dat!

What if you would of won last night bird! Would you have posted that comment! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D

Bird, while I understand you suggestion, why take from the club or party fund, why not take from payout? I didn't make it to last years party, I know that the two previous years it cost a lot of money to do it right. Money is an issue for everyone, but if anything cut the fat in the right places. Just my two pennies.

an outside opinion from someone who hasn't played a mini in a long time... and hasn't been in the local scene for a while either... I'd almost be a newbie.
I have one kid and one on the way... gas prices suck and it seems like my wallet is always empty. the price would be a huge factor when I get a chance to start playing minis again.

if it's one mini once a week it's not that big a hit... but 168$ a month... something would have to give. Are the three minis a week associated with each other or are they all different? perhaps this could be an opportunity to look at what the Central Texas Thread (http://www.pdga.com/msgboard/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=OtherPDGATopics&Number=60 7328&fpart=&PHPSESSID=bc10c752879b386993a431224339 62b7) is trying to do but at a local level.

what are the three different minis being held now? and their fees? is it possible to come up with some strategy to lower the fee of one mini while keeping the others up... in the long run getting more people generates more money and it might workout in the end.

just some thoughts... I don't know much of what's going on out there today so take these comments at face value.

I agree the fees are too high. Even if I just played the mini league on Tuesday and Thursday, that would be $80 at least a month just for an AM. I know some of the players had trouble making the mini's last season because of funds and that was at the lower price. As far as the party fund, it could be dropped altogether as far as I am concerned. It seems the main priority is to make sure there is enough beer.

Really Jim? I don't remember you being on the party committee every year and making sure all we had was beer.... Thats not a fair comment you know it... :mad:

Those parties are not just to get drunk! It's for rewarding the best player in the league that year, it's for a that feeling of being a part of something, it's for that one am player who thought he would never get a trophy and gets best attendance ribbon or whatever!! Sorry don't mean to get upset with you, but don't make this seem like we're bunch of drunks and we need your league donations to drink! :mad:

If it walks like a duck and Quacks like a duck its probably a drunk :o:DLaura have you been drinking cuz I have never knowing you get mad :D

first of all there is never ENOUGH beer...
second of all you are NOT drunks, but you are the right road, if that's your goal. :D:D:D

hooray! Laura's mad at someone other than me! Hooray!!

p.s. the fees do seem a bit high... :Dbut don't listen to me... :D

We never do and its not likely to change either :o:D

hooray! Laura's mad at someone other than me! Hooray!!

<font color="red"> I am not mad at Jim I respect Jim... I just don't agree with comment, working on the party committee with Brian takes a lot of work and I think the BEER is just a reward for everybody who has played in the league. But at the same time there other rewards involved as well.. </font>


p.s. the fees do seem a bit high... :Dbut don't listen to me... :D

<font color="blue"> I agree the fees are too high, but I didn't step and run the league so I'm not complaining, if I wanna play I have to pay... /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif </font>

I am not complaining and even if I would have won last night, I still think the fees are too high. I see new faces out on the courses and I tell them about our local mini's and the first thing out of their mouth is "How Much Does It Cost?". I still don't see lots of them at our mini's. I think the League Party Fund and Club Fund should be one in the same. There were around 20 players last night. That makes $20 for the League Party Fund and $40 for the Club Fund (Estimate). That's $80 a Month and $160 a Month. This money will grow eventually, let's not try to do it overnight. Even if we do take from the payout, I still say we need to consider lowering the entry fees. I am always greatful that people step up to run these events. This issue has nothing to do with that. I just think "The Club" should be able to voice their opinions or concerns. :)

I'm just gald that someone stepped up to run the mini's this year, and Bird maybe you just need to get a part time job to support your habit. :o:D



Disc Golf is my Part Time Job :D:D:D:)

Dont you think you should get a part time job that your good at. :o:D

Ooops, looks like I step on someones beer keg. Didn't mean to rile any feathers. I also didn't know Brian handled the arrangements for the last party. I was under the impression a few individuals had already decided where it would be and what was to be there. I also don't recall a request for volunteers. The first I heard was where it was going to be and how much beer they could get and to make sure it was available in a timely manner. I had no problem with the previous party that I know was handled by Brian and I thought it went very well. I did not attend the last one because of the impression I got from what it was going to be like. Maybe I got the wrong impression, but I felt more emphasis should have been put on using the money for more awards and drawings than on the beer. Again this was the impression I got from the talk going around, not first hand. Sorry, if I offended all the beer drinkers. You're not all drunks, but I wonder why disc golf can't improve its image more. Have a great day.

Not to worry Jim the keg will be ok since its above your belt and under your Tee- shirt :o:Doops I have one there too :D

Dont you think you should get a part time job that your good at. :o:D



Hey!!! I cashed last night $7 :D:D:D

I also didn't know Brian handled the arrangements for the last party.
<font color="blue"> You should know by now that Brian is always involved in everything we always use his ideas even till this day,even with him relocating he will always be our leader </font>

I was under the impression a few individuals had already decided where it would be and what was to be there.

<font color="blue">These certain individuals as you called them are the same individuals who are running the mini's and LOSO this year and if you would have been there last night you would have learned about all their new great ideas for the club, it's rewards for being a LODGA member, I think based on member's ideas. BEER WAS NEVER EVEN MENTIONED /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif But I do recall something about LOSO stuff, trophies, shirts, etc... </font>

I also don't recall a request for volunteers. The first I heard was where it was going to be and how much beer they could get and to make sure it was available in a timely manner.

<font color="blue"> Yes, I do remember them asking me and Brian about how much money there would be for beer, but I think if I recall 2 Kegs cost them $200.00 and rest went to trophies, prizes etc... The club fund was $1,600.00 or so... Also, you should know this club is always is need of volunteers and as my opinion we as a club should never have to wait on requests for volunteer work, that should be an automatic for us to step up with out being asked... Which has advantages too, you can express your opinions, ideas and take vote on things that you might not agree on, you know all this you have volunteered plenty.</font>

<font color="blue">I'm glad you enjoyed the previous parties Jim, and if you would've gone to the last one you would have seen a very beautiful outdoor river location, with great food with a very nice award ceremony, a last farewell to a good FRIEND Chris Himing and only two KEGS.. from what I heard weren't even tapped out. </font>

<font color="red"> Again, you didn't offend anybody, I just was very surprised with that comment you made, I have always seen you as a very easy going guy... and I know Disc Golf has a bad image, but that image was created by the 70's generation which btw created this wonderful game of ours... I think if we were playing Ball Golf then it would be a little different, my opinion anyway. I still think you are an AWESOME PERSON Jim... I admire you for playing and your great game... But again all this is just a LOLO, LOSO, LODGA PARTY COMMITTEE STAFF member's opinion </font> :D

<font color="blue">OOPS! forgot a BEER DRINKER :D </font>

<font color="red"> STILL FRIENDS? :D:cool:</font>

I am a very easy going guy and hopefully I always will be, but if I see something I don't think is right or I don't agree with, I have been known to express my opinion. Since Brian wasn't around the last 4 weeks or so and the other individuals seemed to be making all the decisions, I just assumed wrong.
Still friends and I appreciate your input which has made me think that if I don't agree with something, maybe I shouldn't be putting my money and time into it. By the way, the 70's generation is still out there and some of them still carry that image with them, if you know what I mean.
