Aloha Sushi Classic April 30-May1st

[Cerrgurry]

The classic has returned to Walla Walla in 2011.
Online registration will be available atnorthwestsignup.com (http://store.northwestsignup.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=23&zenid=cc9fbd60c01ad951196b810bec9ec0ba)

We will be the second stop of the 2011 Washington State Series.

Thanks to the city of Walla Walla for letting us add enough holes so that we will be able to accommodate 144 players for this event.


It is Whitman Alumni weekend which has a tendency to pack hotels.

I would suggest that everyone use the "PDGA" sponsored hotels for their rates are much better than what I was just offered.
Super 8 (60something a night 2 queen)is about 8 mins from the course and is right on the highway near quickie marts, fast food, and a grocery store.

I am working on a camping location as well, but it is going a little slower.
Tent and/or RV camping CLICK ME (http://www.bluevalleyrv.com/information.html) I am waiting on answers to see if we can get a better rate, but I will advise against holding ones breath.
It's a little further of a drive (15-20miles from course) but Harris Park CLICK ME (http://www.co.umatilla.or.us/harris_park.htm) Not sure how or if you can reserve the sites.
Of course thanks for the interest in the Aloha Sushi Classic.

So what layouts are we using? Black/Blue/Black?

[Cerrgurry]

So what layouts are we using? Black/Blue/Black?

We will be using black and the other course will use the blue course on the east side of the park (1,2,14-18) and 11 temp holes utilizing the rest of Fort Walla Walla Park.

The exact which division playing which course etc will be determined later. I expect open will play black, hybrid, black and intermediate/jrs will play hybrid, black, hybrid. The advanced divisions are up in the air at this time but I assume they will mirror the open players.

Obviously this may change based on turn out to each division for I am pretty rigid about having no five-somes.

I guess i cannot answer your question completely at this time :)

[douglaselvis]

Thanks!! Me and my posse and stoked for this one!! And for the Kick butt Sushi!!

[JMan]

Can you say...SAKE BOMB...sure I knew you could...

[Uhlman]

As an Intermediate Player I am looking forward to playing the Black course. Oddly, at the FWWO that is course I did the best on.

[douglaselvis]

Can you say "2 slices of pizza" J-man? :laughing:

Hope you're signing up for this one!!

[JMan]

wouldn't miss this one, put in for a few personal days as well, that way we can get in a round or two on the new course in Pendelton. And I can say "2 slices at least!!!" See you there D!

[JMan]

So I noticed the flyer says 3 rounds of 18, yet only two T times are mentioned...Kris??

[Uhlman]

Judging from previous experiences with Kris, I believe that the second round will start 1 hour (or there about) after the last card from first round is turned in.

[General Scales]

Is anyone from Spokane going? And if they are, do they have room for a tagalong with gas and beer money (for after the rounds). I'm trying to get down there, but alas, getting a camping spot and a ride are troublesome for me at this moment.

[JMan]

Judging from previous experiences with Kris, I believe that the second round will start 1 hour (or there about) after the last card from first round is turned in.

I just wondered as last time (2009) it was 2 rounds of 27=3 rounds of 18. The 27 a day was a great format. Well, we'll see...

[JMan]

Now if we can just keep those Spokane and Oly boys calmer at the hotel...;)

[Cerrgurry]

So I noticed the flyer says 3 rounds of 18, yet only two T times are mentioned...Kris??

I just ran out of room on the flier to make it look good. I figured most would know that there would be a round after lunch.

I typically give 50-80 mins after the last card is turned in for "lunch". I will post the start time at Tourny Central etc.

Thanks for mentioning this for it had slipped my mind to mention it myself.

[JMan]

No worries, can't wait...

[Cerrgurry]

I will post this in the first message as well but I would suggest getting hotel arrangements earlier rather than later.

We have longed for permission from the city to use another part of the park and they have granted it to us this year.
This allows us to throw up the black course and then use a modified blue course (holes 1, 2, 14-18) and 11 temp holes. Seven of which have never been used in play.

Two 18s also allow us to up our numbers to 144 which is a good thing :)

[Cajun]

I can hardly wait. I heard quite a few folks talking about the ASC this weekend. I plan to get signed up soon.

[douglaselvis]

Now if we can just keep those Spokane and Oly boys calmer at the hotel...;)

You had to bring that up.....UGH!!! Whadda shame.....:nono:

[JMan]

Good thing I was staying in Pendelton or it might have gotten out of hand...lol

[CMC206]

I'm in! Just signed up and got a hotel! Word 2 Walla Walla!

[Cerrgurry]

You had to bring that up.....UGH!!! Whadda shame.....:nono:

What disc golfers causing a ruckus at a local hotel...that has not happen since at least the last Aloha Sushi Classic. :(
I do hope we as a disc golf community put a better foot forward towards the other patrons of the hotels this year.

[General Scales]

What did disc golfers do last year that caused such a ruckus? I certainly hope it wasn't a round of nude disc golf...eww.

[Cerrgurry]

What did disc golfers do last year that caused such a ruckus? I certainly hope it wasn't a round of nude disc golf...eww.

If they wish to go into detail that is their choice. I will just leave it as in 2009 there were issues with behavior off the course.

We are suppose to wear clothes playing disc golf?

[General Scales]

Well, at least according to the sanctioning body that made the rule book we all argue about constantly. I saw that it mentioned shirts. What if i decided to wear a mesh shirt and 70's style cut off jean shorts:whistler:? I would be full clothed. Might have a buddy pop out the side of the shorts on straddle putts though. :shocked:

Well for a sanctioned event I would suggest at least a loin cloth....for you know there will be a lot down time and sunburns suck...specially....never mind :blush: .

[Cerrgurry]

I have updated the PDGA with my current list of registered players. (note it may take a bit for it to refresh)
If you have registered either online or have sent me a check and you dont see your name contact me.
(Uhlman you are on my list as playing I just forgot to cut and paste it)
Also if you notice a wrong division or spelling etc contact me.

Thank you
Kristopher

[Skookum]

I'm signed up and thinking about going up on Friday from Shelton if anyone wants to pool?

[Cajun]

I was worried the "way" West Sounders would be conflicted about the Aloha Sushi Classic since its the same dates as the West Sound WBDG Weekend.

Good to know there will be representation.

Walla Walla is a beautiful place and the disc golf course is sweeeeeeeeet!

[mazza]

I"LL BE REP'in for the west side not sure who else is gonna rep with me

[LegoRules]

All signed up, and I can't wait for my 2nd Sushi. :yay:

Cindy :)

[mazza]

so is there a good place for sushi around there..no pun indented

[Cerrgurry]

Perhaps our title sponsor....ALOHA SUSHI :)

We should be having a players get together on Saturday night at Aloha Sushi again this year.

[Cerrgurry]

If you dont see your name but you have signed up or if I have any information wrong (spelling,pdga #, division, etc)
PLEASE contact me.
Kris

You might wait for it to update though...(by morning)
Just fixed Rudy's pdga number...my fingers are out to get me.

[douglaselvis]

Some of the best Sushi!! Great people there and they always welcome the Disc golfers with open arms!!
Saturday night is the night for Sushi & Sake Bombs!!!
And there's a pizza by the slice place right next door if your J-Man.........:wink2:

[JMan]

Well Doug, I just won't eat bait...lol, but Aloha Sushi is an awesome sponsor, and party palace. And the pizza down the street is pretty darn good...:dancing:

[mazza]

depends on witch mood i happen to be in...might check out both places....

[JMan]

Well the good party will be at Aloha Sushi, so you have to go there, and when in Wally II you have to stop by Hot Poop, Walla Walla's only bing bang music store...

[Cerrgurry]

Jim (Hot Poop Owner) is pretty cool and the shop is good to just go and visit even if you don't intend to spend a dime.


I am also putting the finishing details on getting two more entertainment options for those players in town Friday and Saturday night.

[Cajun]

May I suggest a venue with free wine to those traveling from out of town on Friday night (but only if you drink 3 bottles) - this would give the locals an advantage on Saturday morning.

Working on that one....we are competing with two other resource draws that weekend....but I will keep working on it.

[Tanya Spence]

Hey howdy!

I'm looking to just pitch a tent at either a nearby RV park or somewheres else... Ive looked around a little but have not committed to anything. I have my own little tent that I'm gonna use for myself.

If anyone has a tent site and is looking for someone to share with or wants to tent it and go in on a site with me let me know!

-Tanya

[Skookum]

I was contemplating tenting. Whats the weather like in late April?

[Cerrgurry]

I was contemplating tenting. Whats the weather like in late April?

Mild avg lows around 44 and highs around 70. Spring weather can be iffy, however; it is typically nice that close to may. It's one of the reasons we moved ASC to later in the spring.

Its nice enough that they plan a hot air Balloon Stampede the weekend of Mother's day (the following weekend after ASC) and there is a large outdoor dog show as well the same weekend as ASC.

With that being said I would plan on rain and wind :)

[Stimpi]

Nancy will attend.

It looks like Nancy nor I will be attending the Sushi this year.
Bummer. Was looking forward to it.

[Cerrgurry]

That is sad to hear :( I was looking forward to seeing the both of you again.
Next time you are in town make sure you let me know and we can get a round in.

[Cerrgurry]

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

The good news is that this past weekend during a one day tournament (Flying Onion) we had, for the first time, 4 women playing(Alison, Jenn, Amber, and Zanchel). Better news is that they seemed interested in playing ASC and they shot pretty well. Bad news is they have yet to sign up.
I will keep trying....

I think if I get the tri city ladies to play they will be playing advanced. Though I think Jenn could hold her own in the open division.
I am still trying to get Kristi to play and she would be an open player.

I will continue going through my channels trying to find more ladies to play.

I wish i had better communication with Spokane but sadly I do not.

[Cajun]

Unfortunately I think everyone is going to sign up last minute. Bummer.

C'mon ya'll step up and sign up! Now!

[Cerrgurry]

:whistler: who would ever show you such a thing... :whistler:

btw cfr's and players discs arrive friday :dancing:

[Cerrgurry]

A few things I would like to broadcast.

We will have a food vendor on site for the ASC. Our neighbor in the park, Walla Walla Valley BMX, will be selling dogs, burgers, pepsi products, etc. They graciously are holding zero races that weekend so that they would not be a distraction to us and us a danger to them.
Due to them being great neighbors ALL money they get from this goes right back to their track/club. Please help them out and buy a burger or two.

Those in town Friday night the "Red Monkey Lounge" has offered free cover to those that would be interested that are playing in the tournament. (contact me and i will get you the coupon you need)
No discount but Saturday night they will be having the UFC PPV fight on their bazillion hd sets with special guest Ken Shamrock (i bet his nose looks worse in person). The cover is $15 for the fights.
Their brother company the "Stone Hut Bar and Grill" will be offering $5 burger and beer for the weekend as well.

Saturday night we will be having the "player's party" i guess is what you would call it at the "Aloha Sushi". They will be providing all of us with 20% off coupons. What better way to say "thank you" then to show up and say it in person.

[Skookum]

Ok I'm looking for a little help with transportation for this tournament. I need to be in San Francisco Monday morning where I will stay for a week. So I need to fly straight there from Walla Walla, I'd rather fly back to Portland or Seatac after my week long training so I can't leave my car in Walla Walla.

Here is what I need.

A ride to Walla Walla from the Shelton, Olympia area (I could even maybe make it up to Bremerton or maybe Portland I have some flexibility)

A ride to the Walla Walla Airport (6 miles from Fort Walla Walla) during lunch on Sunday.

In trade I offer up one of the Queen beds in my reserved hotel room for Friday and Sat. night. I don't care If three people sleep in the bed either as long as I have my bed.

If no one else is able to assist you, I know we (FWWDGC) can get you a ride to the airport on sunday. If not by me or my spouse then another club member.

Thanks thats great to know, Im sure somebody is heading over there from my neck of the woods and would like a place to stay.

PDGA has once again been updated (http://www.pdga.com/tournament_results/65220):)



News: Trophies should be here early next week. Shirts arrive in about 2 hours (fedex is predictable).

Thanks to Mike we will be able to take online registrations until Friday the 29th (assuming there is room)

Day of registrations, as noted on the flier, will have a $10 "service fee".


Take Care and as usual if you notice something that needs fixed let me know. :)

You are welcome...I just run it the way I would want a tournament I played in ran. :)

The course(s) are going to look good. The city did some mowing (a surprise to me) and for the first time we are having a sanctioned tournament late enough in spring for the trees to be green instead of brown.

Take Care

I will be less available this weekend for updates, questions, etc. I will be at the WRO. I will have fliers/registrations for ASC with me and I will have some CFR's ($20) available as well. The CFRs are Champ Katanas and Glow Champ Destroyers. I will have 3-4 Worlds CFRs as well ($20)
They are Champ Vulcans and glow champ Katanas).
I will also have some Washington State Series discs as well (5 champ teebirds + and 5 echo Katanas

100% of this money (after costs) go right back into ASC for payouts.

[Uhlman]

When will the courses be availabe to play? Reguardless I will be there this saturday to play the blue course.

The temp holes will be up Friday the 29th. As much as I would like to have the temp courses up before then the fact that the city would never allow it and just how quickly a basket could be removed prevents this.

I think they just want to register Saturday and pay the additional $10 day of registration fee. I keep telling them they can just pay $10 extra at anytime it will be used in the same way :)


Tricities has yet to appear in full force with registrations yet.

I love the course in the spring with all the trees starting their greening up and hawks soaring overhead. One of these days I will actually get to play a round again.

I'm surprised too. Walla Walla is so beautiful in the springtime!

Go over early and do some wine tasting. There are wineries everywhere.

So sign up already ya'll !

[Cerrgurry]

I cannot contain it any longer...okay so my banner came in and I wanted to show off the shirts some more :)

Sorry about the shadows...only place that I could get the angle I wanted.

[ericedge]

It's great to see the number of registered players for the ASC creeping up with a week to go before the event. I have a feeling that some of those players that are waiting to sign up at the last minute could be surprised to find that the tourney filled! Spring Disc Golf in Walla Walla! Man, I'm really looking forward to the trip.

[Cerrgurry]

It will appear that we will attempt to do some doubles at 5pm on Friday for those arriving into town early enough to play some.


I don't think I will do any check ins at that time; however, i will take registrations and $$$.

We will meet on the dalles military road entrance of the park (blue 1) for doubles since this is the easiest spot for access to both courses.





NOTE: Tournament central will be at the covered shelter Saturday and Sunday. For those that have never been here before that would be the Myra Road entrance. Follow the road until you find the parking lot.

The course has filled out so much in the last few days.
I am excited and honored to TD this event.
Thank you Scot for having trust that I will succeed.

[Tanya Spence]

I'm looking for folks to drive down with from Seattle and split fuel costs with. I'll drive but I can't leave until after 5pm on Friday because of my job. Maybe a tiny bit earlier but not much. Let me know if anyone is interested. Message me!!

...I'll even yield the radio to my passengers!!

[douglaselvis]

So, I had a employee quit on me and now I have to drop out of the Sushi...
So pissed.

Anyway, I have a room at the Super 8 motel that won't refund me any of my monies but will allow someone to take the room. I'll let someone have it for real cheapy. I paid $158 for the weekend. Make me an offer and I'll send you the information.

[JMan]

Yea, that sucks Doug...BIG. How about the BSF?

Sorry to hear you guys can't make it, you will be missed.

Gonna try and get in, we weren't "Invited". Must be that kid of mine and his big mouth!! :laughing:

Now your going to have to eat Pizza alone.....:yawn:


We'll miss Walla Walla!! Good Luck all!!

[Cerrgurry]

Updated the PDGA (http://www.pdga.com/tournament_results/65220) again...and again and again :)


Both courses will be up for play Friday. Find me friday if you want a pass for free cover at Red Monkey(friday night only). I will have 50 of them...well maybe 49 :angel:

Thank you to all the ladies who have stepped up and registered. Looking at the records quickly it would appear this is the largest women's field in FWW tournament (sanctioned) history. :trophy:

Basket Toss: We will have a WSS basket toss during the break between rounds on Saturday. The 10 closest participants will be qualified to the CTP finals at Whiners in the Woods. Mando's has donated a Mach V basket to the winner of the CTP at Whiners. All money raised goes to the WSS
Cost: $1 a throw or 6 for $5

Raffles:
We will have the usual item raffle for $1 a ticket or 6 for $5 (dont tell Washington State Gaming). Money raised, on Saturday, from this raffle will go towards the tournament payouts. Sundays raffle $ will go to the permanent tee sign fund.

Final 9 Alt shot Doubles Skins Raffle:
$5 a ticket and you get your shot at being teamed up with one of the top four finishing MPO's in at least 9 holes of alternate shot doubles. MPO's will tee from ALL odd holes and the winners will be teeing from all even numbered holes during the final 9 regardless of who threw last on the previous hole.
MPO's are prohibited from winning this raffle! ALL other divisions are eligible and you can only win once.
The money raised from these sales will be used to fund the skins payout. ALL tickets not drawn will be added to the normal raffle, so please save your tickets.
At the FWWO (October) we experimented with this format. It was a very exciting 11 holes of action that was neck and neck.

I talked the BMX people (food vendor). They will be set up starting about 7:30 and will be serving biscuits & Gravy, and I need to confirm but they mentioned pancakes and breakfast burgers (pattie,egg,bacon).

I should have their menu up tonight so you have an idea of what they will be serving onsite. Remember ALL funds from their vending goes right back to their club (which help kids stay active).
FWWDGC is not charging them to be our vendor at this event.

thats freaking rocks:yay::rockon::trophy::cheerleader:

[Cerrgurry]

Hey guess what? Online sign ups are closed, the player's packs are finally put together, the black course is done, ALL the temp blue holes are painted, by golly I think we may just have a tournament :)

Those driving tomorrow or saturday to get here drive safe and DOUBLE check google maps. Its real nice now since myra connects to 12 but most GPS's are not updated to know about the round-a-bouts.

Google maps has been confirmed to be updated (just checked again) :)

No menu from the BMX people...yet.

The temp blue course will be ready to play by 10am.

Weather looks like typical WW expectations :) It will not be calm but it will be just enough for you to curse it :)

Take Care
Kris

[Cajun]

GREAT JOB KRIS !

We are leaving now for WALLA WALLA ! ! !

Can't wait!

[TreeLove]

DAMN I wish I was going to this... Maybe next year. HAVE FUN!

[LakeStevensBA]

DAMN I wish I was going to this... Maybe next year. HAVE FUN!

Yeah G, I wish I was going too. Next year we need to go and rent that same house in downtown Walla Walla like a few years ago. Maybe not drink those last 5 bottles of wine on Saturday night though....

[TreeLove]

And leave the golf bags outside in the rain all night? Good times!

[3 Fingers]

This is going to be so frickin AWESOME !!!!

Scores are up... wow-- good shooting Brian Cook!!

[Cerrgurry]

Having some uploading issues with pdga...I will get round three scores updated as soon as the issues are resolved.


Thank you
Kris

[mazza]

what the pdga website wont let u put that many numbers behind my name

[DoubleDees]

i actually got to see them update once. I was getting a weird error to google analytics when i went to the page.

[Bullseye]

Once again the Walla Walla crew came through with yet another great event. Every time I make that drive east, I drove home thinking it was well worth it.

Many thanks to everyone involved. Can't wait for the next one.

[Cerrgurry]

That may be the issue...some sort of safeguard you hacked into the system.

It is just something funky any time I try to make it see the round three scores.

[Tim]

Holy schneike, don't know how often she checks the forums here, but I gotta give a shout out to Jessie! Not only did she take home the 1st place, but with nearly 1000 rated golf in her 3rd round. Way to keep my game feeling exceedingly mediocre!

[emmarose]

dangit, tim, you beat me to it!!!

that was easily the finest round of golf i have ever witnessed in my life... i don't care who you are or what gender you happen to be or what division you play in... her drives, besides being enormous, were incredibly accurate... i don't actually know if jessie westphal is a good putter or not 'cause she pretty much never had to do it... if she didn't park her drive, she parked her upshot... it was stunning and a pleasure to get to be a part of...

... something else i think important to mention is what a class act she is... she was beyond fun to be around, an incredibly good sport, entirely proffesional and genuinely supportive of everyone on the card...

most fun i have ever had in a tournament round. ever. thank you jessie, sheila and jenny... you gals are something else again.

[Cerrgurry]

Problems solved...for some reason the 3rd round does not like it if ALL the division codes are not capitalized (lesson learned).

Completed results are now up (http://www.pdga.com/tournament_results/65220)

Thank you all once again for letting the FWWDGC play host to the club's biggest tournament.....yet!


If you think you left a sweatshirt at the course PM me for several were found while cleaning up.
Someone who stayed at my house left a blanket...but other than that you cannot tell that I housed that many guests. Big thank you to all those who crashed at my house for being so polite and taking care of your messes. You all made a positive impression on my wife.

[emmarose]

... i need to say what a great experience this tournament was all around... it was exceptionally well run and seems as though everything went off without a hitch... the schedule was leisurely yet timely and stuck to impeccably... i really liked that 'cause i was never concerned about where to be and at what time...

... having two courses right there in the same park was very cool so that we could have that early finish on sunday... very civilized, got home at a fully reaonable hour last night (thank you, kris!).

i loved the skins after the round on sunday... never seen that before and it was a great time watching and wandering and socializing...

... the community vibe and spirit surrounding the entire event was really nice as well. lots of folk involved who enjoyed supporting the event... tasty dinner and exceptionally reasonably priced sake bombs...

... i have already marked my calendar for next year.

thank you to everyone who helped and played and made us oregonians feel so welcome (i apologize to any oregonians who did not feel this way and whose behalf i am speaking on without permission ;))

What a great event! The course was in pristine shape, and Chris and his crew from The FWWDGC covered all the details, mowed boxes, trails, you folks didn't miss a step, well done. The Sushi is one I just won't miss.

[Cajun]

Great job Kris, Scott and all of FWWDGC! Ya'll made it well worth the long journey for so many.

This tournament was so smooth, so well run - FANTASTIC JOB!

There was fantastic camaraderie on the courses & at Aloha Sushi Saturday night. Good frisbee spirit was bountiful in the beautiful sunny hills of Walla Walla!

It was great to meet new people & see some old friends too. (Emma you are even sweeter in person:kissflowers:)

The courses were clean & well groomed.

Congrats to all the winners.

Sooooooooooooooooooooo much fun! See ya'll next year!

[kylesmart]

This was a great event for me to be in. It was my second tourney in the washington state series, as well as my 2nd PDGA torney ever. The players pack was Awesome! I'm from the Tri-Cities and I must say You Fort Walla Walla Disc Golf Club and mainly the TD Kris made the Windy River Tourney look bad. I know I am Clowning on the Tri-city Disc Golf Club but really you set the bar high. I will actually look into Helping run the tourney in Tri Cities to make it better than yours. Thanks to Kris again for allowing me to pass out in his back yard for an hour or so and then in his recliner. Thanks for all the memories. Btw i was the one who won the Basket in the Raffle! One more thing......


SAKE BOMB!!!!!!!

So its your blanket (the one you slept with anyway) that was left here. :)

[Lyounger]

Kris,

I hope you are getting some sleep and recovering from putting on such a fantastic event. The course was amazing, the players packs were loaded, I heard the pay-outs were thick, and I totally scored at the raffle :-)

The tourney was very well run and completely enjoyable.

Thank you for your efforts and thank you to the folks who helped you put this event on.

Already looking forward to next year!!!

[3 Fingers]

Once again Kris and the FWWDG crew out did there self . that was the funnest by far !!! finished in the money once again and threw my best round ever .. Thanks ALOHA SUSHI, KRIS, SCOTT, TONY,AND FWWDG CREW

[all2common]

I will echo the sentiments noted above...another classy event put forth out there in Walla Walla. If there were any hiccups, you did a fine job of making it look like it was part of the show. I haven't missed an Aloha Sushi Classic yet, and don't see me missing one in the future.

The course looked as good as it ever has and it is obvious that significant time was logged. Well done.

[killa]

Great tournament. I could repeat many of the other players' accolades, but I'll just focus on a few of my strongest impressions: HUGE payout, awesome title sponsor, and I'm a big fan of the final 9 skins & accompanying raffle format. I hope this becomes more prevalent. Thanks, Kris!

Another highlight of my weekend was when I had the good fortune of sitting next to Walla Walla country commissioner Perry Dozier and his wife (Darlene?) at Aloha Sushi on saturday night, and siezed the opportunity to introduce them to our sport. They are recovering ball golfers, so it was a pretty easy pitch. :wink2: We hit it off quickly (their oldest son is also named Kyle and has also spent considerable time in Germany) and made genuinely nice small-talk for a solid half hour, covering topics like parenthood, international travel, local politics, the education system, and of course some of the finer points of the disc golf community - both casual and professional. I talked up the sport, Walla Walla's club, their crown jewel of a tournament, the title sponsor, and the positive impact of dg courses in public parks.

I enjoyed talking to the commissioner, and I think it's safe to say that Disc Golf made a good first impression. Here's hoping one of our local politicians might head out to FWW Park and catch the bug.
