fundraiser for WA USDGC rep - Sept 27 - Washington Events

olydiscgolf · #1 August 12th, 2009, 10:50 AM

The SPSDGA is in the infant stages of planning a fundraiser tourney at Yauger for the WA rep to USDGC (Chandler "CHANMAN" Fry). So far I've got a date, and some sponsors. The date is Sunday Sept. 27th. The rest of the details will come.

Im looking for disc golf clubs and tourney players to step up and make donations of cash and or schwagg. The more we bring in, the more we can give!

This will be a very expensive trip, airfare, hotels, food! Food especially! You know how big Chandler is! Lets support those that represent us!

Best of luck with the event, everyone will be supporting a good cause in getting Chandler to the USDGC.

As far as adjectives to describe him though, I don't know about big, wouldn't you say he is more "Stout" or "Barrel Chested"? I think he might prefer these descriptors.

Or he looks just like Bluto, minus the beard...and hat.

tell CHANMAN he can eat rice with cheese and top ramen for a week to save the dough... My donations are going to Dion since it looks like Chanman been stealing Dions food for a long time...

Keep us updated with information as you get it. I'll have a couple of things to donate and will hopefully get a chance to come up and play. Great cause helping the BIG man make it to USDGC.

When it comes to food...Im not telling the MANCHILD he CAN'T have something! That's like taking steak from a grizzly!

chanman · #8 August 12th, 2009, 10:50 PM

Hmmm... I like to eat, but not that much. As for adjectives to describe me, I would have to agree with Nate's "Barrel Chested" and "Stout."

RonTheWhip · #9 August 13th, 2009, 03:53 AM

I'm so hungry, Chandler keeps taking my food...

Sorry Tiger, when it comes to nicknames and adjectives, you don't get a say! I think I'll go with MANCHILD!

So far, all of the WA Clubs that I've spoke with are completely on board with sponsoring! I'd like to keep this event on the FUN side of competitve, It is a fundraiser afterall. Im looking into different formats to go along with that. Anybody have suggestions of things they've done or seen?
I was thinking something along the lines of 1st round singles, then placing everybody in consecutive order and then playing second round doubles pairing first and last together.

That sounds really fun. As a side competition you could find your longest hole, put a big sandwich on top of the basket and have Chan and Dion throw for closest to pin and winner gets the sandwich.

C'mon guys - give the kid a break. He's not that big.

And if Chan is barrel-chested, what does that make me? Barrel-bellied?

Could add to that idea, a side competition between Chanman and Ronthewhip that they win gift cards to various food joints that they can use during their usdgc trip.... add a little fun to both the competition plus the meals during usdgc, they gonna eat one way or another, and we are fundraising for them, might as well make it fun and memorable... anyways back to work for me guys...

Not sure if we have ever met, but I'll be sure to be on the lookout for the barrel-bellied guy and holla at ya at the next tourney we at...

Scott · #17 August 13th, 2009, 09:38 AM

We haven't met. We came close once - at the BSF last year. You were spotting on one of the holes and Bob pointed you out to me, but I didn't have a chance to make it over there. Hopefully by the time we meet the barrel will be gone (but I've been saying that for years).

Here's the skinny!

Sunday September 27th
Reg. at 9:00
1st round @ 10:00
$20/ no divisions
1st round singles/2nd round doubles pairing first and last place together.

The top 3 TEAMS will get prizes. The rest of the prizes will be given out in raffle and CTP prizes. SPSDGA will host a BBQ for everybody following the second round.

I've got some cool prizes already, but we need more! I challenge everybody to try and bring in a better prize than the TWO NIGHT STAY @ CRYSTAL MTN. RESORT!

If you haven't played Yauger yet, this is a good time to do it! Its a very family friendly park with restrooms and a playground. Come on out, bring the family, enjoy some golf and a BBQ!

olydiscgolf · #20 August 17th, 2009, 09:19 AM

I'm not going to pre-reg. I would like to have an idea of how many people to expect so send an email or call and let me know, but I WILL NOT TURN ANYBODY AWAY!
