Well I was waiting to send out the weekly update today because we were suppose to have a board meeting last night to get more details lined out for the Crush….well that got cancelled and rescheduled for next week so here we are a day late. We have weekend minis on the schedule this week only. We have a work day scheduled for the lake this weekend. The Ice Bowl is almost here, just a couple of weeks away! Still looking for a few good men or women to run for the CVDGA board for 2013. And online signups have already opened for this year’s Crush.

I’m going to give it another week or so before I start cleaning out my CVDGAer’s list…so remember if you want to keep receiving the weekly update be sure to reply before then that you would like to keep getting it. Thanks!


MINIS

NO WEDNESDAY MINI THIS WEEK
Saturday is set for random doubles at South Concho…10am
Sunday is the weekly skins match at the lake with a 2pm start time. (I finally made it out to one of these Sunday and had a really good time)



Lake Course Work Day

The course maintenance man has set the work day for a little later start than normal this week. We are meeting at 12:30 to get things going this week. We’ve got teeboxes to move, a few trash cans to empty, some posts to replace, some pin placements to locate and determine which need to get fixed, and 18’s bench needs to be pulled, fixed and replanted next to the new tree that is growing in it’s old place. Tools needed would be pix-axe, sledge hammer, sharp shooter, PHDs, gloves, trash bags.

The next word day will be determined after we see how much we get done and how much needs to be done at S.C.


Eola’s “2 disc and a mini challenge” Ice Bowl

As most know this is a charity event put on by the CVDGA, Cortese Flag, and Bright Brewing to help support the local Salvation Army. This will be our 4th year doing it for the Salvation Army and hope it turns out to be our biggest donation year. So be sure to bring at least the 3 cans of food and more if you can. These people are the ones that directly help those in need in our community. So let’s do all we can!!!

As it’s been for the past few years it will again be a 2 disc challenge, but this year you will also be required to have a mini. As it was last year we will be doing the lost disc on the roof rule. If you don’t remember it’s pretty simple, if you throw a disc on the roof you have lost it for the day, if you throw both on the roof you are done for the day. Mark has spent a lot of time and money on his roof over the past few years and is currently doing more roof work and doesn’t need a bunch of disc golfers climbing up there denting and possibly damaging anything. So please be respectful of his wishes.

Date: Jan 26th

Registration start time 9:15ish

Holes: 2 rounds of what may end up being 12 holes (including one mini hole)

Shirts and minis will be given to the first 50 players signed up!

Entry: $15 plus 3 cans of food (if no food $30 to play)

Ace Pot: $5

2 divisions: Mens and Womens

A portion of the entry will go to cash payout for top 1/3 or so of the field. You must be present to accept your cash. If you leave early we’ll put it towards the donation to the Salvation Army.

This event also doubles and triples as our 2013 Membership Drive and our 2013 CVDGA Board Member Elections.

This year’s membership will be $10.



CVDGA Board Members

The deadline to announce that you would like to run for a 2013 Board Member spot is this Saturday. So if you feel like it’s your time to help run the club be sure to post your intentions before them at this link.

11th Annual Crush on the Concho


Here is the latest from the TD:

Registrations are now open for the Crush through Disc Golf United or you can just click on this link:
http://www.discgolfunited.com/disc-golf-tournaments/tournament-dashboard.cfm/tourn_id/607

Some things to know is that this is an Online Registration only, Pre-Registration only tournament. This means you can only register for this tournament through Disc Golf United and no other way. This also means that if you are not pre-registered by Thursday, March 7th by 7:00 pm CST, then you can not register and play this tournament. There are no late registrations and no day of registrations, no exceptions. Another very important date to remember is that if you want a T-shirt in your players pack you have to be pre-registered by 8:00 pm CST by Sunday March 3rd.

This year we are offering a new division and that will be Women's Advanced Masters. As all sanctioned events there must be 3 players signed up in order for any division to make. Another thing we will do differently this year for time issues is the Pool that is starting at South Concho will be having their players meeting there with the Assistant TD. All players will still need to come to Middle Concho (Lake Course) on Sat morning from 8-8:45 to check in and get their pool assignment. We are in hopes this will help out greatly with our time issue so that those that have to play South Concho for the second round on Sat are not playing in the dark as they were last year. We will post more information as time gets closer, but it anyone has any questions, please feel free to post them here or you can contact Jeanne Moore at wake_n_jeanne©yahoo.com

I’d also like to point out that if you are from out of town and are planning on staying in a hotel, the Oil Field is going strong here and hotels are getting hard to get. So make reservations early if possible or you may just end up camping after all.



Crush Sponsorship

We should have sponsorship info and packs out next week and we can use all the help we can get gathering sponsors for this year’s event. If you or you know someone that would possibly sponsor please help out if you can. Remember all they can do is tell you no, so it doesn’t hurt to ask. The more sponsors we can get the better the players packs and payout can be!

Think that’s about it for this week…we’ll see you at the lake for the work day!
