Weekly update time of the week a day late….The big thing happening this week is the 5th Annual “2 Disc Challenge” Ice Bowl in Eola. This is our big membership drive, it’s where 2012 board members take office, it’s where everyone that shows up has an absolute blast…and to top it off it’s where the CVDGA and it’s members help the community with the food drive that is the Ice Bowl. Plus it’s one of my favorite CVDGA tourneys! Hope to see a LARGE crowd out for it. Other DG things happening is Crush info has been released and online registration has opened! Work days for the Crush have been announced. There is no Wednesday mini this week, and I doubt the Saturday S.C. mini makes, so that leave the skins match as the lone mini this week. On the area news front the ADGA Ice Cup is coming up in the next few weeks.
Last chance for those that have not replied to the “keep it coming” request. If you have not replied and still want the weekly update emailed to you please let me know by replying to this email with “keep it coming”. Otherwise your only other chance is to check the yes on the membership form at the ice bowl this weekend. If you do neither I’ll take it you do not want to receive the weekly update any more and delete you from the list.
MINIS
No Wednesday mini this week
Saturday’s mini is unlikely to make, but is not called off.
Sunday’s Skins match will tee off at 2pm. at the Lake. 25 cents a hole!
5th Annual Eola “2 Disc Challenge” Ice Bowl
Signups: 9:15ish
Teetime 10:00ish
Entry: $15 plus 3 cans of food (if no food entry is $35)
Rounds: 2 rounds of 10 in the morning, 2 rounds of backwards 10 in the afternoon.
Player packs to the first 50 signed up….You must be present to sign up!
The idea…to raise as much food and money possible for the Salvation Army, and have the best possible time doing so. In case this is going to be your 1st Ice Bowl: You are allowed to use 2 discs and only those 2 discs all day. No changing discs at any point so be sure to start with the ones you want to finish with.
*****There will be a new rule in effect this year. Mark has done a lot of work on the roof out there and does not want ANYONE on the roof. So in an effort to keep people off the new rule will be: If you throw one of your discs on the roof you have lost it for the day. If you throw both on the roof….you are done for the day! Mark will go up after the rounds are over and get anyone’s disc off, but if you are caught getting your own down you will not only be DQed, but you will no longer be invited back to this event. *****
Signups will be in the “Sun Room” across the hall from the bar. Normally the line for signups starts well before I actually get in there to start signups. So if you want to ensure yourself a player pack(and the right size shirt) and see a line forming get in it early!! Please start the line at the double doors.
On a side note, I was out there this past weekend flagging everything off and let me tell you Mark has some REALLY good beers on tap right now. The pale ale is a light and easy drinking beer and the Chocoalte Stout is also a really good one right now. Just a tip…mixing them together is also really good, just ask for the 60-40 split (choco to light)
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
This weekend is also the CVDGA’s Membership drive. If you have not re-upped your CVDGA Membership for 2012 this is the easiest time to do so. Someone will be at a station after the tourney registration desk to get you signed up. This year there are 2 options for membership: If you already have your leather bag tag from last year your membership will cost $10, if you do not have a leather tag and would like one your membership will cost $17. This also gets you your 2012 CVDGA Members sticker as well as gets you 10% off all you disc golf purchases at Cortese.
So please show your support to the CVDGA and join the club!
2012 CVDGA Board Members

Abilene’s Ice Cup is set for Feb. 18th at Cal Young Park.
I’m hoping to get a little more info form some of the ADGA members that are coming down for our Ice Bowl so I’ll have more info in next week’s update.
Think that should cover us for this week….We’ll see you in EOLA!
It’s time for the 1st weekly update of the New Year. With the new year we’ve got several things to go over as far as CVDGA memberships as well as the CVDGA Board. We’ve got our first scheduled mini of the year Wednesday as well as a full weekend mini schedule. So far the only tourney on the radar is this year’s Ice Bowl, but I’m sure more will be popping up over the next few weeks. Also the 2012 Texas Disc Golf schedule has been released so everyone can start checking out the tourneys they hope to make throughout the new year.
MINIS
1st CVDGA mini of the New Year will be at Brentwood Park, as always teetime is 6pm.
Saturday’s S.C. mini will be random doubles at 10am.
Sunday will be skins at the lake. With football playoffs upon us, skins will be coming to an end soon and the Sunday mini will go back to a singles, doubles rotation….so get those skins matches in while you can.
2012 CVDGA Memberships
2012 CVDGA Memberships are now open for registration. There are 3 main ways to get signed up: 1) Swing by Cortese Flag to get signed up, 2) Let me know you would like me to bring out the membership form and membership sticker to any mini I am attending, or 3) wait till the Ice Bowl and take care of it there. Cash or check only please…no debit or credit cards.
This year there are 2 options for members: 1) If you already purchased a leather bag tag last year your membership will be $10 2) If you didn’t get a leather tag and want one your membership will be $17
2012 CVDGA Board Members
The club is still in need of a few good people who are willing to step up and help run the club this year. As it sits right now there are no contested spots, and there is 2 or 3 positions that need someone to fill them as there are a couple of board members that are not re-running.
The CVDGA has once again signed up for the PDGA Affiliation program. What that means is any CVDGA member that is signing up, or renewing their PDGA membership for 2012 can signup under the Affiliation program and save $5 off your PDGA Membership. Here is a link to the CVDGA site that the full info and a link to the PDGA site to get signed up.
Here is a link I found with all the Texas Tourneys that have been listed so far, and I’d imagine more will be listed as they get approved through the new state coordinator.
The CVDGA will be starting the installation of our 6th Disc Golf course in town this weekend. If you want to help with the installation of the course you must come by Cortese Flag and fill out a work release form by Thursday afternoon. That way I, as the adopt-a-spot coordinator, can turn them in Friday and we can be cleared to do work in the park. AGAIN ANYONE THAT DOES NOT FILL THIS OUT PRIOR TO FRIDAY CAN NOT WORK ON THE COURSE SATURDAY! This is per City requirements under the adopt-a-spot program, no exceptions can or will be made.
Eola “2 Disc Challenge” Ice Bowl
This year’s Ice bowl is getting closer and closer.
If you have never played in a CVDGA Ice Bowl…you are missing out on one of the funnest events of the year. So come out, signup for the club, donate some money and food to the Salvation Army and enjoy the day with some good buddies!
Think that should cover us for this week’s update…we’ll see you in the park! Comments: 0 | posted by warlocks00 in Weekly Update on Tuesday 03 January 2012 - 05:21:01PM
Update 12-29-11
Well I am running a little behind on this weeks update, but wanted to make sure and get it out as there are a few tourneys that have popped up over the last few days. Plus we only have the weekend minis happening this week, but wanted to make sure everyone knew what was going on there. Other than that a new year starts next week, which means it time to start taking 2012 CVDGA membership signups. Plus we are still looking for a few people who are willing to run for this year’s CVDGA Board of Directors. Is this the year it’s your turn to help run the club? I also want to wish everyone a SAFE and HAPPY New Years weekend, and hope that everyone has a great 2012!
MINIS
Saturday’s S.C. mini will be handicapped singles starting at 10am. I will not be able to attend this weekend’s mini so be sure if you go have a smart phone to look up handicaps, or print them out off the mini page on the CVDGA site.
Sunday’s skins match will be the 1st CVDGA round of the new year with a teetime of 2pm. As always holes are 25 cents each except for 9 & 18 with are 50 cents. There is also an optional $2 ace pot that is throw off for after the round if no aces are hit.
Abilene Membership Bag Tag Tourney
Here is the info that was emailed to me, I’m just going to copy and paste it as there is a lot of info:
”New Years day we will have our club appreciation event. 1 round at cal young. Flex start from 10am to 1pm. entry fee is your bag tag. Payout and awards will be given out after the last card has come in. many ctps and discs for every division. ACE POT is optional. Also we will be handing out a questionnaire please fill it out and return it before you tee off. Remember this is free to club members if u have a current adga bag tag if you don't there are some still available at our weekend minis or at this event.”
Lamesa Disc Golf
That’s right Lamesa is now on the Disc Golf scene!!! Patrick Kitten is running the tourney, there is a facebook page for Lamesa Tx Disc Golf…so if you need more info that I have might check that out. Here is the info pulled off of that site, there is also a map of the course there as well..
· “It's on. Lamesa will be hosting a DISC GOLF TOURNEY! The event will take place at the newly installed course (this week) at Forrest Park in Lamesa. This is a one day event on Saturday December 31st - registration is from 8:30 - 9:30, then players meeting, then Round 1 (all from the red tees), then a lunch break, then Round 2. There will NOT be a final nine (or three). Entry is $10 for all players with $1 going to the ace pot (will throw off after Round 2 if not hit). We will have a CTB's (Hole 18 on Round 1 and Hole 17 on Round 2). We should be done early enough to make the New Year's celebration parties.”
2012 Membership Renewal/Signups
The New Year is upon us, and that means it’s time to renew or signup for your 2012 CVDGA membership. This year there will be an option to the cost of memberships. If you already have a leather CVDGA Bag Tag or if you just don’t want a bag tag cost for this year’s membership will be $10. If you would like to purchase one of these leather tags the cost for your membership will be $17.
You can signup at Cortese Flag, or if you can’t make it by here let me know and I can bring the stuff out to any mini that I will be attending…which is most of them! Or you can always wait till the Ice Bowl at the end of the month to signup then. Whatever works better for you, I’m pretty sure we can accommodate you.
2012 CVDGA Board
We are currently looking for disc golfers that want to help make a difference in local disc golf in 2012 by becoming a CVDGA Board Member. There are some positions completely open right now as a couple of last year’s Board members are not re-running. Or if you feel you would rather run for one of the positions that someone else is running for that is great as well as it’s been several years since we’ve had any contested positions. If you want more information about what it takes to be a Board Member, or if you want to put your name in the hat….go to this link and post your questions or your intentions on what you would like to run for. http://www.conchovalleydiscgolf.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?10172
If you have never played in a CVDGA Ice Bowl…you are missing out on one of the funniest events of the year. So come out, signup for the club, donate some money and food to the Salvation Army and enjoy the day with some good buddies!
Kind of a long weekly update…so I know that will get us through this week. See you at the park! Comments: 0 | posted by warlocks00 in Weekly Update on Thursday 29 December 2011 - 03:52:00PM
Update 11-29-11
Weekly update day of the week is here once again. This week we’ve got my favorite mini scheduled Wednesday, plus we’ve got both minis over the weekend to look forward to. The Eola Ice Bowl is the next event scheduled for the CVDGA. This year’s CVDGA Board Membership elections will also take place at the Ice Bowl once again this year. That means it’s time to start thinking about running for a board spot for 2012. Other than that, there is not a ton of stuff going on this time of year in Disc Golf.
MINIS
Wednesday is….are you ready for this??? NIGHTGLOW GET RIPTED WEDNESDAY at Brentwood…Who’s excited? I know I am! Teetime is 6pm, and if you are planning on coming out, be sure not to have a curfew as this one will run late. So bring couple of extra beverages of you choice and come experience the fun that is Get Ripted Wednesday!
Saturday’s S.C. mini is scheduled for handicapped singles this week. 10am teetime. We’ve had some pretty good turnouts the last few weeks(excluding Teams and Thanksgiving weekends) at these minis. So come out and enjoy some singles play.
Sunday’s Skins match at the lake will be a 2pm tee time with most holes being 25 cents, 9 & 18 are 50 cents. $2 ace pot that if not hit during the round is thrown off for afterwards with a ctp
2012 CVDGA Board Members
With the end of the year coming, now is the time to start thinking….”is this the year I should run for a board spot”. If you answer is yes there are 7 positions available to run for including President, VP, Secretary, Treasurer, Course Maintenance, Website Director, and Membership Director. Starting in December there will be a thread on the CVDGA board asking for volunteers for the 2012 year. If you feel inclined to run for the upcoming year this will be the spot to make that announcement, which will need to be done 2 weeks in advance of the Ice Bowl so ballots can be made.
Eola “2 Disc Challenge” Ice Bowl
Save the date, Jan. 28th for the fun that is the one and only “2 disc challenge Ice Bowl”
More info as we get closer….
That should cover us for this week…we’ll see you at GET RIPTED WEDNESDAY!
I’m putting in some long hours this week to ensure I get off Friday for Teams. So I am going to keep this very short and to the point this week. We have a full mini schedule this week….and other than that Texas Teams is this weekend and from what I understand San Angelo is sending 6 teams. How CRAZY is that!! Good luck to all going, but more important that that HAVE A BLAST…I know I will!
MINIS
3rd Wednesday of the month means NightGlow at Picnic Bend this Wednesday. 6pm teetime….come with lights on your discs as all 18 will be in the dark! WHOOHOOOO…sounds like a good time to me!
