2014 Volunteers Needed!
I am looking for volunteers for the 2014 season to staff one of 5 areas. If you are interested in getting involved in our Club in 2014, and especially if you are a Morgan County Disc Golf Club member, I need your help! Here are the 5 areas we are needing help with.
* Set up - Help set things up for our 5 tournaments during the year.
* Take down - Help take things down for our 5 tournaments during the year.
* Upkeep/Work days - Help maintain our 2 courses during the year.
* Juniors - Help with running a Junior program.
* Sponsorship/Donations - Help solicit sponsorships and donations for our tournaments.
These are 5 important areas where I am needing help in order to grow our Club and make it even bigger and better than this past year. The last area is the most critical to the success of our Club so I am really hoping a couple of people gifted in that area will step up. I'm looking for 2-3 people in each area. If you are interested or would like more information on any or all of the areas, please complete the form below.
NOTE: There are too many people who just want to show up and play, but don't want to get involved and help with improvements and making things happen. Trust me, I don't just get up in the morning, drive to the course, and there's a tournament. It takes lots of planning, set up, upkeep, etc. to have a tournament or league. Don't be one of those who only takes (shows up only to play) be one who gives (gets involved)! There's a reason the Lone Ranger never started a disc golf club!

2014 Vibram Birdie Bash is Official!
Our Vibram Birdie Bash is officially registered. Players can register for the event starting January 1, 2014. EVERY player will have to register online in order to play in the event. There will be NO extra player packs ordered for those who just show up to play. The event is $30 per person and each player receives a dri-fit shirt, 2 discs of their choice, towel, sticker and mini. The event will be on May 24th, 2014. Check back after January 1 for further details and registration link.
I will have one of each of Vibram's 11 discs for people to try out before you make your decision on which 2 discs you would like to order for your player pack for those of you not familiar with Vibram discs. I will be at the Mt. Gilead Course most every Saturday morning at 8am for anyone wanting to try them out, or contact me via email to make special arrangements. I am available every afternoon during the week also.

IDGC DIRECTORS CUP
I'd like to share my trip this weekend (Oct. 25-27) to Appling, Georgia to the International Disc Golf Center. It was an honor and privilege to be invited to the First Annual Directors Cup. There were Tournament Directors and State Coordinators from all over the United States and we even had a couple of guys from Sweden! We had lots of great informational workshops, tours and of course a two day tournament on two of the premier courses at the IDGC. Saturday we played the Steady Ed Headrick course and then Sunday we played the Jim Warner Memorial Course. If you ever go thru Georgia and have time, you need to stop and go thru the Disc Golf Hall of Fame and play at least one of the courses (I'd recommend the Jim Warner Course). Just take your oxygen tank and plenty of extra discs (lots of throwing over the lake!). I have to say that EVERY single staff member at the IDGC is incredible! They are all so friendly and helpful and are more than happy to sit down with anyone and answer any questions you have. There are talks going on now to bring this event to the 8 regions around the country starting as soon as next year so more people have a chance to attend. (Talking about Crown Point for our region!)
I apologize for the poor quality on some of the photo's.

Get Notifications for Tournaments Within 100 Miles!
I received this email today from Disc Golf United. If you've never been to their site, check them out. This is where a lot of our pre-registrations go thru. Please read the following information and act accordingly if you are interested in receiving email notifications of any tournaments going on within a 100 mile radius.
Dear TD's,
Thanks again for choosing Disc Golf United. And thanks even more for your honest feedback. Our system continues to evolve and get better as we gather and implement feedback from the folks who are using it the most... you!
When I ask, "is there anything we can do to make DGU better?" Quite frequently I hear something like "...if only you could help me fill more spots"
Well, we took that wish seriously and added a simple but useful feature we hope helps do just that. Introducing - New Event Alerts. Now, each time you post a new event on DGU, an automated email containing event details goes out to all opted-in DGU members within 100 miles (we are working to make the distance customizable).
Not only will this help you get the word out to the usual crowd, but hopefully this will help attract a brand new audience of golfers eager to play and compete.
I don't know about you, but we hate getting spammed. So, to respect the preferences and privacy of our members, each person must go to their profile settings and opt-in in order to start receiving these alerts. Please help us spread the word by encouraging players in your area to login or create a free DGU account and then opt in to receive the New Event Email Alerts from their "Profile Settings" (found in the grey bar just below the main site navigation).

Things That Shouldn't Have To Be Said To A Disc Golfer:
1) Do NOT Climb Over Fences!
Please DO NOT climb over the fences of our property neighbors to retrieve a disc. If you lose a disc over the fence of our neighbors, please let me know and I will contact the neighbors and get it back for you. (This is another reminder to make sure your name and number are written on all of your discs!)
Absolutely NO climbing over the cell tower fence! A Verizon Rep comes out once per month to check things and will retrieve any discs that make it inside the fenced in area. They turn them in to the church office and then I collect them and return them to the owners.
If people continue to climb fences, we will have no choice but to close the course. We do not want to do this, but the church cannot be liable for any injuries incurred.

Do Not Vandalize Our Property!
Do NOT write on baskets, tee posts, tee signs, or any other objects on our property. This is vandalism and will not be tolerated! Violators will be prosecuted! We strive to keep our course clean and in top shape for all to enjoy, please do your part to keep it nice looking.
Do Not Litter!
There is a widely accepted saying on disc golf courses, "Whatever you bring in with you, be sure and take back out with you!" In other words, if you bring in water or drink bottles, cups, snacks, etc. be sure and take home the wrappers, containers, etc. or throw away in the big dumpster next to the first tee. This is a church property and if trash continues to be thrown all over the ground, we will not be able to keep a course on this property.
