Fundraiser tournament in Port Angeles, WA 4/25/09 - Washington Events

Tim · #1 April 3rd, 2009, 07:10 PM

There are golfers in Port Angeles that are itching to have a real course installed somewhere near them. They've got a park that they throw object golf in, and the parks department is apparently on board to install a real course there. All they need is some money to get things happening.

Here's the info I know:

April 25th, Lincoln Park in Port Angeles, WA
$10 a head, no payouts, but trophies are planned on as well as side prizes like CTPs.
2 divisions likely, Pro and Am
No clear start time yet, but tentatively around 11:00 AM start to help those who have to ferry over.
The more baskets people can bring, the better--I believe there are potentially 16 baskets lined up now, but if people have heavier duty ones they can bring, all the better.
Contact Nate Bell for more info: 360-809-0342. Nate doesn't have internet out there, so that's the only way to contact him. I can try to answer any questions here, or at the very least, act as a proxy.

Please let Nate or me know if you're interested in attending, and especially if you can bring a basket!

I'm supposed to bring my basket but Aaron told me May 2???

Sounds great.. I dont know if I can get my other half to come, but it is worth a shot. I will post up an flyer at HJ Carroll Park on Monday. (Pending approval).

Mystjava · #4 April 6th, 2009, 04:18 PM

Waiting on this.. Is there a simple flyer you want me to make to post at HJ Carroll park?

TreeLove · #5 April 6th, 2009, 09:58 PM

Which day is it? Apr 25 or May 2? (There are both an OR Series and an Inland NW Series on Apr 25..., May 2 is World's Biggest...) When I have a date, I can add this to calendar....

Mystjava · #6 April 6th, 2009, 10:12 PM

I think Tim said it was the 25th of April.. We might need to get in touch with the person in PA to find out. (Under the first message)....

The reason it should be the 25th of April is because the Hood Canal Bridge will be closed for six weeks as of May 1st! IMHO: It makes more sense to have it early as possible or as in late June.
:-)

Tim · #8 April 7th, 2009, 02:07 PM

Yes, 4/25 is the correct date. Nate was originally shooting for May 2nd, but then remembered the Hood Canal Bridge closure. I'll see if I can get a flyer together when I have more details.

There is an article in our local paper about the upcoming tournament! Here's the link!

Yeah! We can use your support everyone! Come join us!

Thanks for posting that Crystal! That motivated me to actually type up a little flyer, which is now attached in my first post.

It's nice to see an article that doesn't have three inaccuracies per sentence. I'll be there, hopefully with some baked goods for sale that will also support the fundraising.

Toby Puttzinski · #12 April 11th, 2009, 12:04 AM

I'd like to make it out to help support-- I will buy lots of goodies too... sounds like you 'do' as much as I 'get' in the baking department now Chuck...
put me down for a loaf of whatever.
Carpool anyone?

Mystjava · #13 April 11th, 2009, 08:06 AM

Or some of you can "fly in" since the Kenmore Airlines runs between Boeing Fields and Port Angeles Fairchild Airport (I don't know what the cost is, but it just sound like a possible thing to do...) The park is neighbors to the airport.

I printed up some flyers and handed them out at terrace creek dubs this morning.

kokaneeninja · #15 April 12th, 2009, 08:32 AM

Aww chuck you're so domestic!!!

ChUcK · #16 April 12th, 2009, 09:21 AM

Domestic? Hah! I'm not telling anyone what's in these brownies... Bakeshop Terrorism!

Just kidding, they will be additive free. I'm not bringing a ton of stuff, perhaps just a loaf or two of banana bread sold off in slabs to help raise 10 more bucks for the PA crew.

Mystjava · #17 April 12th, 2009, 09:23 AM

Isn't he??!! I'm going to post one of the flyers at HJ Carroll Park (my home course) and give one for a friend of mine to post at the Sport Townsend (In Port Townsend). Hopefully she'll be able to help spread the word. Then - when I head into Port Angeles on Monday evening, I'll stop by a place in Sequim to ask if he can post one up at his business.

olydiscgolf · #18 April 12th, 2009, 09:50 AM

If somebody can email me a flyer, I can make sure it gets put up at Yauger, and Lake Izzabella.

Mystjava · #19 April 12th, 2009, 10:09 AM

It's under the first posting..

Ola,

I met some of you yesterday down in Olympia and we got to talking. I'm down to come play and have some baskets I can lug over. My sister lives over there and it's a good excuse for a "visit"... I'll also put the word out and see who I can round up to come with. Terrace was apparently notified this morning so I'll see what I can do with the guys from North Park, Sea Tac, Lakewood, and Juel.
