Boiling Springs, Doubles, and Dead Owls...

As many of you might have read, Chad will be starting the Hub City Disc Golf Club August 12th, 2007 @ 2:00pm, and christening it with a random draw doubles event. In honor of this, we will NOT have doubles at Greer that weekend, but we will have a work day the Saturday before. Feel free to call me at (864)-7*0*4*-2*9*4*4* or e-mail greerdgc@gmail.com to work out a time and what equipment to bring, if you can attend.
If you have not played the Boiling Springs course, I encourage all of you to give it a run, and help a brotha out. Chad has been very supportive of what we have been trying to accomplish in Greer, and I personally will be returning the favor.

When we next meet for doubles, which will be the 19th of August, we will have hole #7 marked with red spray paint to define what is and what is not 3 feet. This should resolve the occasional "Your foot is smaller\bigger than my foot...." measurement issue.
Holes #2, #6, #9, and #17 will be our rotating CTP holes. Our CTP concept differs quite a bit from some of the other local clubs. We do not run a points system, as most of you might already know, but instead, we offer 1 stroke off of the final score for the group that wins the CTP.
Also this Sunday we began an Ace Pool. Entry for this will remain the standard $1.00 fare, and the full pot will be awarded to whoever hits an ace, no matter what hole. If by some freak act of Congress and/or God someone hits an ace on the same hole as the CTP, they get BOTH.

In regards to "Dead Owls"....
I know there was some concern regarding how some things were, are, or will be done regarding anything we do in Greer. These things should be addressed with me, and nobody else. All of you should know by now that I do my best to work things out so that everybody is happy. But its not a paying gig, either.
A few months ago I approached a fellow club leader and asked "How do I run doubles?". The response I got was: "Doubles runs itself." I am new to running doubles, maintaining a club website, coordinating with Parks and Recreation, organizing disc golf tournaments, maintaining a course, and all other aspects involved in giving people a supportive, but casual-play oriented place to fling plastic.
But alas, I have a life of my own just as you do. I do my best to promote what we have going on out in Greer, and the great things that are coming, so it is an attack on me personally when I hear someone say "Well, he should've had X, Y, and Z ready." or "He shouldn't do it like that, he should be doing it like this." and I have to hear all this in hearsay. People, if there is a problem, come to me directly. I-WILL-LISTEN. On that note......

Biscuits Out...
