2nd Annual WOU Disc Golf Club Fundraiser - March 12, Dallas City Park

[runnaman]

The 2nd Annual Western Oregon University Disc Golf Club Fundraiser presented by Phd Productions!!

When: March 12
Where: Dallas City Park
Why: To raise funds for the WOUDGC and future trips.

Last year we had a full turnout and hopefully we can do the same this year.

The format will be the same: 2 rounds of 15 holes (possibly 18). However, there will be different holes this year. Dallas was upgraded from 9 holes to 18, but some of the holes are pretty short so we'll be modifying the course a little bit.

Tentative Schedule (depends on 15 or 18 hole course):
8:00-8:45: Check in
9:00-9:15: Players' Meeting
9:30: Round 1
12:00: Lunch
1:00: Players' Meeting
1:15: Round 2
4:00: Awards, Ring of Fire.

I'll be posting more information on here as we get closer to tournament time.

Mark your calendars cause it's sure to be a fun time.

[Discdogs]

[TreeLove]

There's no reason we can't BOTH redeem scrip, is there? Don't more vendors mean more choices for the players, meaning MORE FUN? I'm ready, willing, and able (to share)....

[runnaman]

You can both come. That's fine with me

[Discdogs]

Gawain ur smart and cool:cheers:

[runnaman]

Flyer posted in the OP.

I also need some ideas for how to do registration. Was everyone ok with mail in registrations last year and are you ok with doing that again this year?

[runnaman]

Any preference? ^^

If not, I think I'll just do mail-in.

Look for the registration form in the next couple of days.

Mail in worked ok last year! I'll be looking for the form.

Flyer posted in the OP.
You should add the time of day for: registration, player's meeting, and rounds. :)

[runnaman]

Yeah, that's can still change, but we're shooting for.

Registration: 8:00-8:45
Players Meeting: 9:00-9:15
Round 1: 9:15

I'll add that to the flyer and update.

Thanks

[runnaman]

Registration is here!!

The registration form and the flyer are now both in PDF form and available in the First Post.

I encourage you to print off some flyers and post them around. If things go well tomorrow when I go to the course, we might have an 18 hole course instead of a 15 hole course, so we can have more people.

[runnaman]

There was a typo on the "send to" address so I corrected that.

[runnaman]

I'll be at Dallas today at 4 if anyone wants to join me for a round. I'll be figuring out the tournament layout for the course as well.

[runnaman]

well, I checked out the course again today, and if we can get the fields again like last year, we should have 18 good holes. However, it will mean that we will need 5 temporary baskets. 3 temporary for 15 holes. Let me know if you can bring one.

Also, if you find my Yellow 11x Eagle-L with an Eagle dye on after hole 2, I lost it throwing from 2 tee to 3 basket.

[runnaman]

Here's the proposed layout for the tournament.

Green means it's original, Red is added for the tournament. Circles are baskets, little lines are tees.

This is the 18 hole layout. If we decide to go 18 holes, we will remove holes 4, 12, and 13.

Edit: This is no longer the layout. See post #51

That looks like fun. I plan on attending and can bring a basket.

Cool. What kind of basket is it?

[Jeff Hemmerling]

Cool. What kind of basket is it?Portable Mach 5, only the best! ;)

[runnaman]

Awesome. Thanks.

[runnaman]

I should be going back to Dallas either today or tomorrow to finalize the course. If it all gets approved, it'll 18 holes with 1-3 par 4s.

Registration forms are in the first post.

[runnaman]

Played the (possible) tournament layout today and shot a 43 (15 holes). Hole 14 is about 600' and will most likely be a par 4.

I really like the layout. I might add one more hole, but I'm not sure yet. Tees will be a mix of concrete and grass/dirt. I tried to move as many tees as possible to concrete.

[runnaman]

If you are not a member of this site and therefor cannot see the attachments, here is the registration form in the form of a jpg.

[kilowan]

This was the first time I had played in a tournament. Met some great people and had a great time. Reg will be in soon.

[TreeLove]

Chase, I get an error when I try to view the map. Would you please double check it?

[runnaman]

Works fine for me. Let me know if it persists and I can try to fix it.

On another note, I played the course again today and shot a 44 (15 holes). I'm thinking about making a couple of changes, but if all goes well, the course will be the 15 noted on the map.

Also, I got an email from Valarie Jenkins today and she said she is going to try to send something for the raffle again this year.

Only 31 days left to register!!!

[runnaman]

Would anyone be interested in online signups? I can do it through discgolfscene.com

The only problem with that is I can only withdrawal the money in groups of 10 registrations and I need the money to get stuff for the tournament. But if enough people would like that option I can set it up.

Until then, only 29 days left to register. If you are planning on registering, please send in your registration form asap.

Thank you

[runnaman]

Just a reminder that there are only 27 days left to get in your registration forms. I know that seems like a long time, but it would really help me if people could send in their registration forms sooner than later.

Thank you

[runnaman]

Got a pretty cool trophy for Open First Place the other day. So all you Open people better get to signing up.

[runnaman]

I feel kind of lame for Quintuple Posting, but if you are unsure about signing up for this because of money, I'll let you send in your registration form and pay day of. I don't like doing this, but I need registration forms so I know how many people to plan for. Ideally, I won't have to accept day of registrations.

I'll put this in the OP as well: Option for registration: pre-register and pay day of.

[Discdogs]

This tourney was a blast last year if u cant decide doit!You will not be dissapointed

[runnaman]

Went to the course again today and found a new cooler hole, so I'm getting rid of one gimmicky one.

Here's the updated course map.

Edit: This is no longer the course. See post #51

[runnaman]

Here's a pretty cool update:

Phd Productions has stepped up and became our Title Sponsor! The tournament is now called the 2nd Annual WOUDGC Fundraiser Tournament presented by Phd Productions.

If a mod could change the title of this thread to add "presented by Phd Productions" that would be great.

Also, the course got approved today so it looks like we might get a full 18 holes in! The only thing is, this means we need more temporary baskets. So if you have one that we can use, please let me know so I can get the course plan finalized. Thank you.

Also also, there is only 25 days left to register. Remember, you can mail in your entry form and pay day of.

[snap7times]

I am one of those who will have to wait till day of.... not sure if I will be in the state that weekend yet.. but if I am... I'm there, and i'll bring a m-14 with added chains if needed.

[TreeLove]

Please please please no practice weight baskets (if we can avoid it). I have 2 full weight baskets, but I won't have room for them along with the Pro Shop. If someone from, Portland has room and could transport them, we could use them. Anyone?

[runnaman]

Trust me, if all I can find is practice weight baskets, we'll only do 15 holes. Which I'm fine with, but if we can get enough baskets for 18, that's cool too.

For the 15 hole course we need 2 temp baskets, and for 18 holes, we need 5 temp baskets. I already have 1.

Division: Adv Masters
Promise I'll send registration by the end of the week ;)

[runnaman]

Last year we had 6 portable baskets set up throughout the park unlocked and we didn't have a problem. If you would like yours to be locked, you'll need to bring your own lock and I'll try to put it next to a tree or something to lock it to.

Thanks, looking forward to getting registration forms.

Phd Productions said that along with their Title Sponsor donation, they will also be sending a box of their Pocket Discs. We will use these for a putting and/or distance competition and then they will be awarded to the winners and used in the raffle since we won't have enough for everyone to get one in their player packs.

So get your registration forms in. Everyday this event gets a little cooler. I might be going to Dallas again today to scout out the 3 additional holes to make it a full 18 hole course.

[runnaman]

Got a package today from Nate Doss and the Jenkins. They graciously donated two discs (one signed by Nate and Val, and one signed by Avery), two keen wallets, stickers, and some minis. All of this will be going into the raffle. So you don't want to miss this tournament, if for nothing else, the raffle.

[runnaman]

went to the course today. Planned out the new holes, so if we get the 6 temporary baskets, we'll be set for an 18 hole course. We already have 1 (possibly 3) baskets, so we need at least 3 more.

Don't forget to mail in your registration forms. Only 23 days left!!!

[runnaman]

Here are the pics of the stuff donated by Nate Doss and the Jenkins

- Dion has said he will donate some goodies for the raffle
- He will also be there selling discs and redeeming scrip along with Gawain and Tim Malone
- Phd Productions has donated 24 Pocket Discs which will be used in a Pocket Disc Putting Contest at the end of the tournament. They are also the title sponsor.

I'm working on the tee signs and they are looking good. They have a map of the hole and the OB information. I think they're pretty good.

If you want to register, send me a PM or email me.

Here's one of the tee signs, let me know what you think.

I have a Lightning DB5 metal Portable Basket that I can Lend to your Tournament. I'm sorry to say that I'm not sure that I can make this tourney, as I am on-call for work :waaah:
Although, I'd be happy to lend the basket if you want to make the trip to pick it up in Hillsboro. PM me if you are interested.

[runnaman]

I'm trying. Hopefully people will start signing up. I'd like to get an idea of how many people to expect. I figured with last year being such a success that this year, people would register ahead of time.

Thank you

Maybe I will do my ladylike baking and bring some cookies.

Time to shake things up!! 8)

There are still 50 spots open. That means I need to get 5-6 registrations a day to fill.

Again, you can pre-register and pay day of. Just send me a message with your registration info.

Today, I am getting the scorecards, scrip, and tee signs printed. And I'm also picking up some donations.

[TreeLove]

PM Sent.

[Darr]

If I can catch a ride with Treelove or Hemm, I am in.
Sounds like fun.Is the course reserved?
When we played some cars were parked next to baskets.
Locals sheesh :biggrin2:

[softwinterwhispers]

I have a quasi metal basket that seems to love to catch my throws....probably wouldn't work for you though. 8)

[runnaman]

Darr - Yes the park is reserved and those baskets don't even come into play anymore thanks to my awesome course designing. ;)

Nice work :yay: I am totally pulling a Chase here :laughing:

[runnaman]

What does "pulling a Chase" mean?

[runnaman]

Random question to everyone: would anyone be available to take some video? I'll have people taking pictures, but I thought it would be cool to have some video too. Preferably some random shots of the first round and the lead card the second round.

Let me know if you're up to the task, thanks.

Also, I still need 3 baskets. This is much more important than video.

[Darr]

[runnaman]

Ok, seems like a lot of people are looking for rides. I know Brody C and Johnny L are looking too.

[TreeLove]

I will have only one seat available, and not much cargo room, since I am bringing a pro shop. Darr, you are the first one to ask about riding with me, so you're in! Of course, my passenger gets to help with pro shop, and basket deployment/pickup, in lieu of gas money. Thanks in advance; and I look forward to carpooling with you.

[runnaman]

I just submitted the order for the tee signs. They look pretty good I think. They will have Mando information and OB information on them. Hopefully this will answer all questions about OBs.

Nice, did you mail your registration?

[Darr]

Nice, did you mail your registration?

I will PM you the info needed and pay day of if that's cool. :biggrin2:

[runnaman]

I got our package from Altitute Disc Golf. They donated a couple Lat 64 discs (Flow, Pain) and a couple Prodiscus discs. As well as a bunch of minis and stickers.

There is still room to sign up. I would suggest that if you are mailing in you registration form and money, that you do that on Monday to ensure it gets in time. Otherwise, just send me a PM with your registration info and I'll get you signed up.

See you all on Saturday.

[runnaman]

A few more people registered today, but there is still lots of room left.

I picked up some gift cards from Play It Again - Corvallis and the First Alternative Coop yesterday, so those will be in the raffle.

It also looks like we will most definitely have rubber pads for most of the holes and the rest will be on concrete, so no natural tees!!!

[runnaman]

Looking at the forecast for Saturday. Temperatures around 50 and a slight chance or rain. Hopefully it won't be too bad.

Still have about 40 spots open so get registering.

[runnaman]

I see that a lot of people are registering for the Daylight Savings event on Sunday in Mcminnville and I know it's a long drive from Portland, but going to Dallas on Saturday and then Mcminnville on Sunday would be a very awesome weekend of golf. Almost like a B-tier event. Two rounds each day on two awesome courses. All the while helping the WOU Disc Golf Club.

I'll be at both and I hope to see you at both.

[runnaman]

Here's a current list of registered people. 33 registered, 39 open; almost half full. Still looking for more Women, we only have one so far.

Went down and played the tournament layout with Chase this afternoon. These college kids have WAYYYYYYYYYY too much time on their hands. :nono: Chase has really tweeked this course and made it really fun, challenging, and NOTHING like the normal layout. :slapface: If you played last year be ready for a surprise. Oh yeah, WATER does come in to play.:shocked: I'm really pumped for Saturday. Well done, once again young fella! :cheers:

You don't want to know what a ring of fire is... the day you find out, you need to break up with your partner and go to the doctor....

oops wrong ring of fire...

everyone lines up 30-33 feet around in a circle around a basket and putt in various styles to win prizes etc etc...

[tmnt0008@yahoo.com]

I've actually been thinking about it and since it is a fundraiser, I'm going to pass on the ring of fire and use the prizes in the raffle. It's still up in the air, but as of right now, I think we won't do that.

We will have a putting contest though using Phd Productions Pocket Discs. I got the package today from them and they sent me 24 discs to use and give away.

[tmnt0008@yahoo.com]

saw you guys setting up the flags for the course today it is looking like it is going to be a lot of fun and can not wait to participate this year, i was not able to last year so it should be a good time.

Here's my last post for tonight--a little motivation. Here's a picture of what I have (so far) for the raffle.

You could always ask for a donation to play in the ring of fire... that would help bring in more funds versus a putting contest, and more fun in my opinion. Just my two cents from the peanut gallery.:chinscratch:

[runnaman]

The putting contest is for something else. It will be using the Pocket Discs because they are our main sponsor. I'll think about the ring of fire and make a decision day-of. It also depends on how many donations we get.

[johnny lamotte]

hey Chase, is the course flooded on any holes cause i know greenway is :/ cant practice.

Randy kept looking at the forecasts, and saw the raindrops. I think he's afraid his arm doesn't work when it gets wet. :) At least that'll be his story if he doesn't do well! It'll be great to see you again too!

[Sam]

I think I will attend, Chase. Thanks for running this again. Was fun last year.
:cheers:

[runnaman]

Are you just showing up day-of or do you want to register? Just send me a PM with your name, division, email, and ace pot (yes/no)

Thanks

[tumblintomblin]

so this is my first official tournament that i will be playing in, but i have been playing disc golf for a while. i am sending in my registration tomorrow and was wondering what level of competition i should sign up for, i was thinking intermediate, but what is all your opinion who have competed before.

[runnaman]

It depends, what course do you play the most and what do you shoot there? I would also suggest not mailing in your registration, just in case it gets delayed. You can just send me a PM or email with your registration info.

[runnaman]

And just like that we roll over the half way point. 37 people are registered which means there are 35 spots left.

You don't want to be left out of this one!

[tumblintomblin]

Travis Tomblin- intermediate- ace pot yes
Trevor Fine- intermediate- ace pot yes
i sent an message from his account yesterday and did not know if you had revived it or not

[runnaman]

You're registered

[Slick willie]

Can we make side bets on the winners of divisions? My money is on Melissa Johnson to win the womens division.

[runnaman]

We're up to about 40 registered and 32 spots open. I'll post another updated registration list later today, so send me a message and get signed up.

[runnaman]

Open
- Brandon Hill
- Dion Arlyn
- Jason Pinkal
- Justin Skinnell
- Shaun Kirk

Intermediate

That's 43 people which means there are only 29 spots remaining. I would like to see some more people in the upper divisions register. I have nothing against Rec players, it just seems odd that there aren't more Int, Adv, and Open. We also need more Women in every division.

[NextLevel]

Hey Chase,
Sorry that I haven't gotten back to you sooner. I very rarely check my old DiscGolfOregon3 email or NwDiscgolfnews account. DiscGolfOregon is no more, for various reasons . . not sure where to start, but mostly due to lack of dedication from needed parties. DiscGolfOregon will not be donating or attending this year, but I am jealous of everyone that does show up!
Best of luck . . . and keep in touch; I may be working on an idea or two. NextLevel.

Friendly reminder sausage guy will be there for your lunch need.... ps bob we will save you a bun!!:yay:

[runnaman]

I know the weather forecast doesn't look too friendly, but I assure you. It will still be a lot of fun. And you never know. It might just sprinkle for a little bit and then be sunny.

Anyway, there are just under 30 spots left so keep sending me emails and messages with your registration information.

2 days left!!

You mean the two guys that would have won Intermediate by 5 shots and would have cashed in Advanced?

I think he just may be Scott! I played the second round with the "Rec" leaders and mentioned the fact that they should have been playing Advanced. Maybe next time?

[runnaman]

So would anyone be interested in playing (mostly) the same course for a C-Tier in June? It all depends on whether or not I can use the other side of river again during the summer. It gets a lot more use during the summer so I might not be able to put the holes over there.

Let me know what you think so I can get started.

Oh, and another interesting thing. At the tournament, I accidentally did 100% payout instead of the 60% that I had advertised. My bad. The tournament in June will be 100% payout too.

[Sam]

Thank you, Chase. Good times.

Oh... and thanks... for this not being PDGA. OUCH! :)

It seemed pretty FAT, good thing I donated $ :rockon:
Who is on the WOU team?

[Sam]

Heh... sorry. I would play a PDGA event on this course but there needs to be solid places to throw from at every tee. I meant thanks for THIS event not being PDGA. :)

[Vector_2008]

So would anyone be interested in playing (mostly) the same course for a C-Tier in June?


I'll play in June if you an keep the costs to a minimum. Do another fundraiser, I hear they are cheaper to sanction.

I need more rated rounds.:rockon:

[runnaman]

Chris - It is cheaper to do a fundraiser sanctioned, but it has to be for a non profit org. and there is paperwork.

Sam - John Swanson and I will be starting a Disc Golf Club for Polk County and we will be talking to the parks department about putting in concrete tee pads and hopefully putting anchors in the temporary locations for tournaments. We'll see how that goes.

[snap7times]

do a pdga charity sanctioned event like I am doing for May 14-15 at camp taloali... allows for non members to play for the same price. And yeah the payout was big, was like ummm, how you fundraising? heh... loved the tournament, and yes, teepads are always tough at natural courses in rainy and muddy weather...
Since this is a popular park and holes 5 and 6 would be tough, probably 4 and 7 too. I would just not do 5 and 6, keep 4 and 7, make 7 tee pad farther back 30-40 feet and bring basket closer so it's not near the bathroom as much. Then a farther back teepad to the normal basket that is hole 6 normally? See what the park people say? Keep the island hole of course. There is also room after tournament hole 17 up the hill a bit. could make hole or 2 in that corner? just ideas, do it!

[runnaman]

I've thought about putting a hole or two up past 17. We'll see what the Parks Department wants to do and go from there.

Thanks for all your input.

[runnaman]

I just wanted to remind everyone that if you found a disc during the tournament that is not yours, please return it. I know I lost two: one is in the river on hole 1 and I don't expect to get that back, but I also forgot to pick one up for the stream on hole 10, so I know someone picked that one up. And I know of a couple other people that had discs in there as well.

So if you found a disc or know of someone that did, please return them.

Thank you

[runnaman]

Here's a link to some pictures one of my brothers took.

I would still like to hear what everyone thought of the tournament. Tell me things you did like and what you didn't like.

Thanks

PS - Still hoping someone returns my Glow Gazelle that I left in the water on hole 10.

[Bruce]

I didn't like the fact I didn't make it. I do like the fact it sounds like people had a good time!

[Slick willie]

Chase, do not feel bad about the Glow Gazelle. I lost a brand new Groove on hole 11 in the Ivy.

[snap7times]

glow gazelle trumps a groove any day...

So hey Chase,

I wish I could give you some kind of constructive criticism, but I wouldn't know what to criticize. The course changes were unique and fun. It looked to me like everyone had a great time. Your Sponsors came through big time with goodies. What's not to like?


Thanks to you and the entire WOUDGC for all your efforts, it really paid off.

[Jeff Hemmerling]

I would still like to hear what everyone thought of the tournament. Tell me things you did like and what you didn't like.Better late than never, so here's some feedback.

Basically it was an awesome event. Great course, (too) good payout, things ran on time. Only issue was some of the temp teepads were a mud pit. No criticism of you Chase, it's one of the hazards of having temp holes in rainy weather. Overall I had a blast and look forward to next year! :)

Knowing that the payout was 100%, how much was actually raised for the club?

Hole 3 over the river was epic! I wish we had that hole in the Portland area. ;)

[runnaman]

We ended up raising ~$200. But aside from raising money, I think the tournament was a huge success in that everyone had a good time and I learned a lot about course design and how to better run a tournament.

Be on the lookout for the June 4th tournament at Dallas. Hole 3 should be back for that one.
