Calling all Flyers......
Thursday Feb. 22 we will be having a Funkytown Flyers Club " pre-meeting " .
Saturday the 24th, hopefully all Flyers and disc golf supporters in the Metroplex will be in attendance at the city of Ft. Worth's Parks and Rec. master planning meeting . I will keep this short and sweet . Gateway park on the east side is accepting proposals for newly acquired acreage adjacent to Gateway Park .
Let us assume for a moment that all goes well at this meeting , what does it mean to you?
Potentially , the city could finance the installation of a disc golf course in Gateway park. Included in the proposal are some disc golf demographics and pricing for course install. The pricing includes, and is not limited to monies allocated for basket purchase, tee pad installation, and most important COURSE DESIGN. Yes, possibly somebody could be paid to design this course..... This is huge ....
The pre-meeting will get everybody in tune with what we are trying to accomplish, and how we will do so. There have been major players stepping up to the plate, and this is the outcome.. We need your support. Please plan on attending .... Time and location to follow...
We will also discuss the land options and go over some info regarding the possibility of the city donating additional land for a start up course , to be managed by the Funkytown Flyers Club.... This also is huge...
Little recap : WE COULD POSSIBLY HAVE TWO NEW COURSES IN FT WORTH . THIS MEETING WILL BE A HUGE STEP TOWARDS ACCOMPLISHING THAT . BE THERE OR BE SQUARE.....

Big props to Miles !!! Top o' the Flyers @ the Z-Boaz Open this year.... You earned #1 for shure.... One more stroke!
Also, big props to Andres....... He was almost the coolest guy in Advanced this weekend... That playoff hole was fun.
Big ballz of the weekend award goes to Tyree..... After his first win/event ever last weekend, he stepped up to cash in MA2 this weekend. Way to not be a bagger .
And yes, Funkytowns own Jeff Davis, with the Big Ace on the island hole ... WTG Jeff, you big S.O.B.
Please give Stacia Pearce a big pat on the back after completion of her first event in Open Woman division. I think she has tasted blood, I think she wants MORE....

I killed Miles in the final 9 by 7 strokes to walk away with the #1 Funkytown Flyers bag tag. I also beat CGF for the first time in a sanctioned event at his home course no less.
WTG Shawn Robertson for finishing in the top 10 in the OPEN division.

Stacia played in the z-boaz open before Lee.
And big props to all the money mace put in his pocket. That pro payout sucked!!!!!!!!
37 open players in an A tier $100.00 a pop and 1st does not even get $800.00. We had around 20 some pros at the double o and 1st place got $1200.00 by Nolan Grider.
What a crock of shiat. :mad:

Hey Chris, it is not mandatory that you play Brians events .
Brian should make money, he provides a service to the public. A service which many were not able to utalize this weekend, because the event filled ...... I am sure there will be somebody willing to play in your spot next year.
And yes I was wrong, this was not Stacia's 1st open event.
My Bad!
BTW- if it were not for the Open, the course would not get cleaned once a year, so be greatful!!! :D:D:D

Please give Stacia Pearce a big pat on the back after completion of her first event in Open Woman division. I think she has tasted blood, I think she wants MORE....
This was actually my 3rd year to play Open at Zboaz, but thanks for the shout out. :) Bad news= finished 8th, good news = every year I finish 1 spot higher than the previous year...so by my calculations in 7 years I'll get 1st :D I had a great time (despite the lack of skills.) It is so wonderful to play with such great women!
As far as all the negativity being written for all to read, I would just like us to think about the image this is giving our club. We will not all agree with each another and we don't have to all like each other, but let's focus on the future and our goals. There is a city council meeting on Feb. 24th that Gilbert has written a proposal for. We would like to have signatures of support to accompany the proposal. I will print off a sheet for this but we can only have I copy (to provent duplicate names.) We need to figure out how to get the most signatures the quickest...any ideas?
DGBAMA92
Feb 12 2007, 04:05 PM
Bring it out on Thursday and Sunday Mini's - Yesterday would have been great.
I like what Gilbert proposed. Parking lot initiative....
Anybody have time to sit @ the Z and collect signatures ?
Also, Stacia, if we get a copy up to Play It Again Sports, I am sure Terry and his staff will support the cause.
Food for thought....

Feb 12 2007, 04:15 PM
Take it out to all of the local mini's. Crowley on Tuesday and Saturday, the Z on Thursday and Sunday, Cedar hill on Sat, the Vet Wed and Sunday. I'm sure we can find a way to get it to the right people that will be attending each one. Between those 4 courses there should be close to 70 different sigs you can get. Let me know what I can do to help out.

Do you think there will be a problem with repeat signatures if we have multiple copies circulating? I think getting people to sign at minis is a good idea...we just need to get the forms in the right hands (those that attend all the various minis.) Any volunteers?

I am also thinking about changing from the Aviar-x to a Challenger.
Challenger is way more stable , and stays more stable than the Aviar.
I know you would love the Predator , Avenger , Wasp, Flick ,Buzz, Challenger, and possibly a Surge or XL to replace your precious Sidewinder...

Interesting! I cleaned my bag after hitting �roc� bottom on saturday and it has room for experimenting with midranges. I added the coyote, but now that there is all this buzz about the buzz I'll give it a try too.
Buzz is money my friend. The release is alot cleaner than a roc... For the less experienced " throw it as hard as I can " players, you may want to try a wasp... It has a little more high speed stability.

so the fact that the roc has the 12 time world champs name on it means very little to you i guess
Tkank you for being the voice of reason PJ , those ladies are crazy!

We are 20 dollars away from being a club worth 1k dollars.... Also, just to keep you guys up to speed on things.

how do we find out bout multiple signature sheets? with multiples, we should have 1000's to bring to the table. count me in!
Good question Goose...
The Funkytown Flyers Club are in need of some volunteers....
The mission : To collect as many Ft Worth residents signatures as humanly possible ...... This " petition " will arm the Flyers with serious ammunition for the council meeting on the 24th. Basically, we the Funkytown Flyers Club have an oppportunity to make a difference, but we need help.
Signature sheets will be available Friday morning . We need people to spend some time @ Z-Boaz, talking to people entering the park. A quick 30 second convo. with a casual player could not only obtain the signature we need, but possibly help educate the public about the Funkytown Flyers Club , our mission, and disc golf in general. Hell, we could possibly sell some bag tags or memberships... Who knows. If you have any time to donate to the cause , let us know ... We have untill next Saturday to get as many of those precious siggy's as possible ... Thank you for your assistance !

YOUR DISC GOLF CLUB NEEDS YOU
We , residents of Tarrant county have a large opportunity to expand disc golf in the Metro area.. The Funkytown Flyers Club will be in attendance in next weeks Parks & Recreation Council meeting . The topic will be the new 400 acre masterplan for Gateway Park on the east side of town. With your help, we will have a series of club representatives discuss the Pro's of disc golf in the local community, in front of the council. This is a rare opportunity , essentially, if all goes well, the city will pay for a disc golf course, and it's design . We need people to speak on the topic of disc golf and ALL OF it's benefits. We need people from every walk of life, race, creed, and gender. The city has allocated 3 minutes to discuss whatever we choose . Now, here is where you become involved ... Obviously we can not cover the entire spectrum of disc golf in 3 minutes. But if we have 10 speakers , speak for 3 minutes, the council just heard 30 minutes of the " Pro's of disc golf " in Tarrant County.
We also need dedicated individuals to collect signatures from Tarrant County residents between now and next Saturday.
We have a signature sheet to hand out , we have a brief description of what the signatures are for . We need man power... Please help, the more signatures we can put in front of the council, the more real this can be ... I CAN NOT STRES THIS ENOUGH, WE NEED TO KEEP DUPLICATE SIGNATURES TO AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM
There is too much to talk about on this board..... We will have a meeting Thursday night, b4 putt night to go over the specifics...... BE THERE
I CAN NOT STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS MISSION, THIS COULD CHANGE DISC GOLF IN TARRANT COUNTY FOR EVER. WE NEED YOUR HELP.... A LITTLE EFFORT CAN GO A LONG WAY
I have signature sheets available, I can e-mail them to you... Please help..
There will soon be a post of topics we need speakers for ...
I am very excited, I hope you are too

If it is in the evening, I will be willing to speak. There was a story about the Gateway expansion in our neighborhood newsletter that came in the mail yesterday. I did not have time to read it yet.
Laura, the meeting will be on Saturday the 24th. Flyers should be there and ready to stand in line around 12 to 12:30... I believe this is a 1st come 1st serve ordeal, so we need to be early ...

Do any of you Flyers ever play at Eagle Ranch. I just noticed this course on the directory and was wondering if its worth checking out. I see John Houck's name on it, so I imagine it would be fun, but I thought I'd check with the locals before heading out there.
Best of luck with the council meeting. Anything a non-Tarrant County resident can do to help out?
yes it is a disc eating machine of a course...
only 7 holes plus a practice bucket.. if you don't live near it, like i do, don't waste your time.....
it has potential but not enough buckets :D

Feb 16 2007, 01:28 PM
What's the layout like? Any elevation, water, or otherwise fun shots? I dont mind a 7-hole course if its fun to play...can always do 2 or 3 rounds. Besides, if I get out that direction and decide its no good, I can always hit up the Z /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
Best of luck with the council meeting. Anything a non-Tarrant County resident can do to help out?
Buy a bag tag for 20 dollars
and
Join the Funkytown Flyers Club for 10 dollars
Either way , the money goes directly to Ft Worth disc golf .

Elevation plays on 6 out of 7 holes
Water plays on 2 holes
It is fun enough, the views of Eagle Mountain Lake as sunset are awesome.
We like to play Safari Golf out there , makes for some good times ...Rusty, give me a shout if you will be on this side of town, I can show you around the course...
elevation? yes
water? yes
fun shots? yes
the thing to worry about is that the course is all dirt and in a bowl shape. if it rains within a couple weeks from the day you go out there it will be a muddy mo fo.... really really muddy

Ok, I will give you that. But I did tie the Shawn for the best score of the tourney. And I would have cashed. But I am done with the am division. Had way to much fun playing open!
Way to go Miles....
Your willingness to step up to the plate in Open is awesome .
It is people like you that are paving the way for disc golf in the future.. When the PDGA can provide potential sponsors with numbers that reflect a large Open Men's and Womans growth over the past years, that is when things will change...
If 10% of the local advanced players stepped up to open , on average, you would see 5-6 additional cashing spots per event.... That is a number you can sell.....
cgflesner
Feb 19 2007, 01:05 PM
I don't see why the pdga can make every other division move up except Adv. It makes no sense for the growth of the sport. How many spectators do you see at a BS ball golf tour and how many do you see at a PGA event.
I think if your player rating is above 959 you should have to play open. Think how huge the fields would be.
MOVE UP BAGGERS!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Wesdesday Mini @ The Vet:
There is a mini this Wednesday the 21st. WE WILL START AT 6:15 SHARP. If you are not signed up by 6:00pm you are out of luck. NO WHINNERS.
Starting the 7th of March we will be holding the mini weekly ( March 11th is the start of Daylight Savings Time ). Now , not to confuse you - starting the 7th the Mini will start at 6:30pm and you need to be signed up by 6:15pm and no later. This should allow time for people to get there. We will not wait - Others are not going to pay the price for your last minute decision to play. Please plan ahead because when the weather is better and there is more daylight I expect there will be a bigger attendance.
Thanks to ALL for their support. If you need to get ahold of me - call my cell 817.637.5023

Make that rating 945, that would be huge!
I think 945 is alittle to low. I was at 954 after my first int. tourney, I wasnt ready to play open then. I think somewhere around 965 or 970 would be better. With it that high it will keep the advanced fields strong and the open feilds bigger. My .02
I disagree 100% .
People will spend hours, days, years scratching their heads, " why are we not on ESPN " ????? Simple, there is a small percentage playing professional.. Kind of hard to sell numbers like that to Budweiser, Marlboro, Tide, Sherman Wlliams, etc...... The percentage of players rated 945 or higher actually play on a professional level, they just make amature mistakes...
Look @ the PGA, you literally have hundreds , if not thousands that will never be on a card with Tiger, Phil, Vijay, Sergio etc... Yet all these other golfers , earning last place cash, still earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year ..... When you provide value to the " PRO " ranks of the PDGA, you will then see the Natural on the cover of Sports Illustrated . Think about it ..... Supply and demand ..
With it that high it will keep the advanced fields strong and the open feilds bigger. My .02
Big advanced fields do not promote bigger open fields, they promote plastic sales, and the opportunity for sandbagging .
Think about it ....
Marty and Stacia / Don & Laura Q had ton's of siggys..
How about u ?

hope i don't have to speak..
i'm afraid.. :confused:
Quick overview....
Tomorrow , 1:30 , at this location (http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?formtype=address&addtohistory=&address=201%20S%20Sylvania%20Ave&city=Fort%20Worth&state=TX&zipcode=76111%2d2236&country=US&geodiff=1)
Those that plan on speaking should be there around 12.
We need attendee's for this meeting . Everybody that is there will have an opportunity to choose the top 3 activities they wish to see at Gateway park..... This will be an excellent opportunity for us to not only bombard the city with our numbers, but to also help out other groups that may need some assistance ... Who would we rather share this park with ???? Soccer players , baseball players, or something a little more our style, perhaps hikers, bikers, kyackers.... This is our opportunity, I am asking anybody in the area that has the time , PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF DISC GOLF , BE THERE AND REPRESENT WHAT IT IS THAT WE DO.... This opportunity does not come along often... You can make the difference..
I will be away from the computer for the rest of the day, so if you require details, feel free to shout @ me !!!!
Good day to you all... Hope to see you there .

Warning, as usual, its a long reply.
Overall, we did great!
The meeting was actually an update on the Trinity River Uptown Project and recommendations for improvements at Gateway/Oxbow Parks.
The only speeches on the agenda were from the chair of the Trinitiy River Initiative, JD Granger, the Trinity River Vision Director with the city of Fort Worth, Randle Harwood, and the Tarrant County Water Board Representative, Woody Fosser.
They were there to update the community on the Trinity River Initiative and its impact on the eastside, specifically Gateway Park and Oxbow Park, and to hear community imput on improvements at Gateway Park. That last part is where we come in.
However, the meeting got out of hand before they made it to that part. Some of the other attendees at the meeting were complaining about the Trinity River Initiative and a few other personal biases.
They barely touched on the improvements. Gilbert Casas was able to essentially give his speech, hand in the petitions, and gather a large amount of applause. I was standing at the time, and looked around and saw a number of people applauding his speech.
My assessment on the whole event is as follows:
1. We did great ! We had many people there. We had more people than any other contingent. I believe that made an impact.
2. With the federal/city connections, (JD Granger in charge of the TRI and his momma being the Congresswoman and both being from the eastside of FW), the proposed actions are going to happen.
3. We were heard by the people that mattered. The people making the decisions are not going to be the community members that grumbled loudly and then left. The decisions are going to be made by the three men up front. We were very well received by those three men, especially Randall and JD.
4. The meeting went exactly as I expected. It was the first TRI / Parks meeting ever. However, all governmental meetings are very similar. Unless Gilbert or someone like him had gotten us actually on the agenda prior to the meeting, I knew we would not have 3 minutes each to speak. At most, I expected we may have a total of 3 minutes.
4. It was good that so many showed up. We did make an impact. The problem is with government, it takes chipping away. One meeting will not make a difference.
5. The next action needs to be letters. All the people that had written speeches need to write them in the form of a letter. Mail it to Randall, JD, the Star Telegram letters to the editor, the FW Weekly, and to your representatives -- FW city council, Congresswoman Granger, State Rep Michael Burgess. If these are not your representatives ( they are the representatives for the district in which Gateway Park resides), then write your representatives also. All you have to do is revise your written speech just a little and address it to the Honorable ____, If you need help obtaining addresses, etc, I can do that for you. Same for the newspaper.
6. Lee and PJ were on the channel 8 news. It showed them looking at the maps. Several others were also on the news when the camera panned the audience.
8. I spoke to several of my friends that were in attendance (2 lawyers, 1 judge, Mayor Pro Tem (also the judge's daughter), former city councilwoman, 2 state representatives, and a US congresswoman) I used to play politics prior to disc golf. It si actually more addictive than disc golf to me. Just Saturday's little taste and I want more, more, more. (Ian spit up and almost landed on former City Councilwoman Haskins.)
Anyway, my point is that no one there knew what disc golf was prior to us being there, except Randall. We need to educate our representatives on disc golf. Do this through letters, phone calls, invitations to play, and personal contacts, many of those contacts made by many of us over a prolonged period of time.
7. If we stop here, they will think it was just a few people that thought it was too windy to play, so on a whim all got together at the meeting. We have to prove them wrong and chip away by taking the next steps and following up.
BTW, these park improvements, if all goes as planned, would take place between 3 & 10 years from now.
Thanks. I would love to have a course right across the freeway from my house! :)

Tuesday night mini tonight at Crowley..Start time 6:15.
The ace pot will start at $46.00
Tonights CTP is hole 13
We do play for Funkytown Flyer bag tags at Crowley.
Who wants the #1 tag?????????
local residents that thought the meeting was about getting more jobs..
couple of bikers..
a whole lot of elderly people
i believe that we were the only large group there that wanted something particular to be added to the park.
everyone else there, i think, was there to get informed on any changes that were done to their "master plan".
we made an impact.
got disc golf in the door..
:D
