Sat, 02 Oct 2010 15:18:10 GMT http://www.gvdiscgolf.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=50 The date for Church of Disc is set and A LAST MINUTE CHANGE TO THE ORDER OF THE COURSE PLAY HAS BEEN MADE.

It will be held at the Spring Valley course (CMC Glenwood) for the AFTERNOON round, the FIRST round will be held at the Fire Mountain course in NEW CASTLE in the MORNING. Peaks and Valleys point series awards will be held after the 2nd round at CMC. We will also be holding the raffle for the portable basket and numerous other prizes that afternoon as TJ has us set up at BeauJo's for the awards ceremony. As usual, we will be checking in between 8:00 and 9:00 in the morning at NEW CASTLE. Player meeting approximately 9:45 am , with tee-off at approx. 10:00 am. Let me know should you have any questions and we'll see you on the 10th for a great finish to the exciting finish to the season. Thanks, Mike Kalous 970-987-3468 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 19:10:53 GMT http://www.gvdiscgolf.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=49 Hi all- The flyer for the Snowmass tourney for the Peaks and Valleys point series is attached. CLICK HERE. The tournament is scheduled for Sunday, 7/18. We are getting discounted lift tickets ($17 instead of $24) as long as we get at least 20 players. I am asking that players call me to pre-register so that I know how many players are going to show up. They can also send me an entry form with their payment prior to the tourney. I will be taking entry fees the morning of the tourney. We will be playing both courses - the red course in the morning and the yellow course in the afternoon. We will have to do tee-times since the courses both play from the top of the gondola and finish at the bottom of the hill. The groups will stay the same for both rounds, since we will not have time to gather score cards and re-align the groups. I will not be playing so I can coordinate things betwen rounds with each group. I will find a place near the base of the gondola for tourney central. Players will need to check in with me at the end of their first round, grab a quick lunch on their own, and then head back up the hill for the second round on the yellow course. Once the last group comes off the mountain after the second round, we will have the awards right away (since I won't be playing, I can get everything organized and ready). Please print out some copies of the flyer to hand out to your local players and/or encourage players to get on the websites to get the flyers themselves. Again, I will need players to call me ahead of time so I can coordinate the lift tickets that we will need to purchase. Entry fees and lift tickets can be paid for the morning of the tournament. As usual, check in will be from 8:00 to 9:00 with a players meeting at 9:30. The gondola starts running at 10:00, so we will send the first group up the mountain at that time, with the subsequent groups following. Remember, this is the week before the PDGA sanctioned event, so this will be a great opportunity to learn the course setup and get ready for the following week. Brian and John, can you post the flyer on your respective websites for me? Again, I appreciate everyone's help. Looking forward to another great tournament! Let me know should you have any questions. See ya, Mike Kalous 970-987-3468 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 00:52:11 GMT
