Downriver work party, Sat. August 21st

[Yoduh]

High Bridge is set up as a pitch and putt right now, Stimpi describes his own course as a pitch and putt. Pitch and putts are fun to play but they are not the most challenging. No part of my statement disrespects the club either.

Clubbie isn't a crack, I am a Clubbie as well as anybody else signed up to be in the SDGA. Heard this many times, mostly from Gordy but it's not like it matters..I am thankful for any help building our courses. I have put in more than my fare share of work at both courses you play in town as well as in Post Falls and Couer D' Alene and at Farragut.

I have been asking to have a club meeting for the last 4 months to discuss what we as a club wanted to do with Downriver which is on topic but has been ignored by the officers because it's easier for them to do what they want without the clubs input.

About winter... whoa, going off the topic deep end huh?

Glowsticks and all other litter are things I pick up all the time cause I care and because I like nature to be litter free. I also think having a clean course makes our sport more appealing and enjoyable.

Well, you know what? My major malfunction was choosing to respond to your post in the manner in which I did and, for that, I sincerely apologize.

Not only was my post seriously farther off topic than yours, it was also categorically vehement and totally unwarranted. It obviously upset you enough to spawn two responses: one cordial and one a bit more curt--I guess that's the difference between 11pm and 2am, huh? Regardless, I'm the one responsible. I would have to attribute my unfounded lashing out at you to my own stress and your post was the unfortunate recipient of my early morning lack of judgment. I think posting without a morning cup of coffee is worse than posting drunk. I would have to correct you on one thing though, I do have a rosey outlook on life and others, it's just that after I was laid off three years ago, I've been working on my bachelor's degree for three years solid, full-time plus, including summer quarters, and being a stay-at-home dad to two boys, and single-handedly remodeling my house, and my wife is in school full-time this year, and well, the list goes on and on--the constant pace takes a toll. Point is, those are my burdens to bear and you don't deserve a random loadstone being dropped on your head.

I'm proud of our courses, but I too think that further design and improvement is necessary to make DR and HB tournament-quality courses that offer a dynamic disc golf experience that is both inviting and challenging for all players--from the seasoned local to the visiting pro to the first time novice. If I had the time, I would work tirelessly to make them better and better. My efforts on the 21st took creative scheduling and cajoling on my end so I guess I was making them personally significant. I've lived in Spokane since 1969 and I've seen these areas go from hardcore Gypsy Joker campsites to punk rocker firepit hangouts to teabagger romping grounds to the community- building, public-use project that is the reason why both you and I are on this discussion board today. I would be more apt to assume that most of us appreciate our courses a great deal and would love to be putting more effort into them, but are simply burdened with other personal commitments that have to take a higher priority.

As much as I tout my wants and intentions to improve the physical aspects of disc golf in Spokane, I think just as much effort is needed in improving the community aspects as well--and breeding contention is not the way to start. So, please, allow me to do the work needed to help build the community and retract what I said.

I wouldn't throw garbage on the course and I do try to pick up what I can...
...so I should put forth the same effort here.

Peace,

Burge

AND NOW WITH THAT SAID !!!! can WE get back to the REAL reason of the post ..that being the improvement of DR and HB and in general the topic of DISCGOLF..

[Parks]

I'm all for keeping stuff on topic, but this work party is already over and done.

So where the topic goes doesn't really matter at this point.

That being said, there is now a club meeting scheduled for the 14th. Yoduh, come on out and voice your concerns there.

Also, I didn't think "clubbies" was intended as an insult, nor was saying that Stimpi Ridge is a pitch and putt.

True, on both counts...I was being a jerk.

Besides, I think "clubster" sounds better

Anytime you can add "ie" or "y" to a noun it makes that word a diminutive. This might not be an insult but does imply smaller or lesser.

I much prefer the term "member" to "clubbie".

[Yoduh]

Leave it to Robert to try and keep a wound fresh..

While Bob is correct about the implicit meaning involved in modifying phonemes, Yoduh has stated that his intended usage was benign.

Besides, 'member' spawns phallic connotations to be exploited by low-brow humorists.

Tell that to my bookie. He is not small, and carries a large bat. Bookie is short for book maker, and clubbie is short for club member.

If you're going to call out someone for "keeping a wound fresh," you probably shouldn't be doing it yourself in the process.

So does club.

Your probably right Parks.. Going Steelhead fishing this weekend and I thought I would get a head start

[Yoduh]

I'll never think of a club member the same way again

[Parks]

Since club and member are both double entendres, does that make "club member" a quadruple entendre?

[Yoduh]

At the very least..

[Chainbanger44]

good enough math for me, and grammer for that matter!
