For once Rooster, we agree on something. I certainly hope it was reported to the PDGA.

Again I wad fortunate enough to participate in another awesome and very well fun tournament. Big props goes out to Chris Leo and for everyone else involved. Your hard work was appreciated and can't wait for Turkey Open to get back out there!

So here I go...
I'd like to thank Sunnybrook and its entire staff for allowing "us" to take over their business for the weekend.
We couldn't have pulled this off without thanking those who allowed us to use the baskets: Chisolm, Chris Leo, Jeff Bauman, Josh Schulte, Damon Evans, Bart Black, and Discraft. Without baskets, we do not have an event here.
Monster Energy Drink - hooked us up both days...
Darren Harper, Joe Levell, and Mark Stephens and Flint Town Flyerz for donating items we used to bolster the raffle.
The entire staff who donated time during the days play to assist writing cards, scoring, and all other odd jobs during the day: Andy Hughes, Derek Michalak, and Andy "Rooster" Bawol.
Andy and Brian Buchholz for assisting Rob Stivers on building and tearing down our beloved disc golf course.
Many people have no idea how difficult it is to install and remove a disc golf course, 18 baskets, tee pads, flags, etc...
Rob Stivers almost single-handedly organized this Monster effort including perfectly hanging the Discraft banner on the triple mando hole.
All of the hundred and twenty seven players who participated this weekend - thank you - we raised over $485 dollars for the Capuchin Soup Kitchen.
Congratulations to all of the CTP, Ace Pool, 50/50, and Divisional winners.
Andy Hughes also assisted Chris prepare all of the scorecards that were pre-filled out based off of the Online Registration. This process really helped make the check-in process much smoother.
Finally, CONGRATULATIONS to Chris Leo who did an excellent job both days on his 1st PDGA event as a Tournament Director. With 127 players in 2 days, Chris main concern was that the players received and excellent event. I think he succeeded.
I hope I did not forget anyone and if I did I apologize - after pulling this event off, like many of my comrades, I am exhausted...
BTW, Chris posted the scores here and on the PDGA sites already. Nicely done Chris!

The course has been measured out with pad and basket locations. We were asked to show up later then 10:30 to play. I know Rob Stivers and Andrew Hughes will be out there earlier then that to continue placing the baskets and pads.

With that said I would like to give special shout outs to Rob Stivers for grabbing the fly pads from Star along with some more baskets. Andrew Hughes and Jay Binienda for helping setup the measurements today out there. Of course we can never thank John enough for helping get this ready as well.

We will be using 40 carts - 2 players per cart = 80 players. The cost for a cart for ball golf is $15 per 18 holes. I was able to get the same $15 fee except for both rounds. The owner of Sunnybrook threw that in for us. We did raise the entry fee to accommodate the cart charge. In 2010 the Pro entry was $40. Since we moved the event to Sunnybrook we raise each Pro entry $8 per player or $16. We raised all the entry's across the board a similar fee. The AM3 was $28, now it is $36. We are basically doing the same payouts as 2010 but the added entry of $8 per player or $16 per cart goes to Sunnybrook.

As far as the carts go I know everyone would love to have their own. We have to take in consideration we are not the only ones using them for the weekend, Sunnybrook will also have ball golfers on the other course.

PK, I don't have a problem with it. Only thing is each card gets two carts, so players are going to have to share. You would have to wait and see if there are any carts left over to have your caddy drive one around. With two people sharing a cart, I don't think it's been an issue with carrying everything you would need.
