Greater Oconee Disc Golf

Below are the minutes from our recent meeting.  

9-26-10 GODG meeting

Attendees: Josh Burgess, Layla Burgess, Mike Wierda, Aaron Evans, Adam Wright, Luke Reiser, Maria Stubbs.

Topics/Whos on the job:

Tax form Strange W9 form from the county has arrived at the club PO Box and we as a whole don’t know what to do with it.  Adam, is contacting a CPA about it to see what he says.  Layla or Maria is calling the county about the form and what it is for.

18 baskets We as a club want to get the baskets that were purchased by the City of Seneca a year ago shipped and in the ground.  We had 3 proposed ideas for what to do w/ the baskets

1. put them in the ground on the “Seneca gold” course
2. put them in the ground at some other proposed locations
3. put them in the ground partially in the Seneca gold course, partially in the ball field areas at Shaver Rec, and partially in the alt pin placements on the original course.

As a club we have decided to marry ideas 1 & 3.  Adam is talking to the mayor to get the basked shipped … now.  Josh will talk to Rick Laycey about  baskets in the ball field.  The option of filling alt pin placements on the current course was pushed to old business and will be taken up at a future meeting.

Black Jax Sports order The BJS order is a go.  From BJS we will be ordering light up putters, mid range, and drivers approximately 10 of each.  With this purchase BJS has agreed to give us pod lights, which we will use at tee pad, basket, and directional markers for night golf.  Mike will continue to work w/ BJS and will place the order in the immediate future.  As a club we still need to decide if we the club will keep the light up discs and rent them out at night rounds or put them into the club stock and sell them.  This is old business and will be brought up at a future meeting.

Club logo We as a club are working on coming up w/a new club logo.  Maria has taken the lead on this.  Everyone is invited and encouraged to design a logo. Logos when finalized need to be simple 1-3 color designs w/o shading.   All logo ideas need to be completed and to Maria (mariastubbsart@gmail.com) by October 28th.

Restocking the club Layla has agreed to place an order w/ Innova and Discraft to restock the club.  For the Discraft order it has been requested that we (the ones who want Discraft) put together the wish list and give it to Layla.  She will then place the order.

Walhalla disc doubles Luke proposed a new style of double.  A disc doubles where players are matched according to their skill level e.g.  pros play w/ rec (i.e., those who are good are paired w/ those who are not).  The payout is in DX discs and approximately 1/2 of the field gets paid out every week.  The club unanimously supported this idea and Luke will be organizing and starting this in the near-ish future.

Club stock and tournaments It was discussed and decided that if TDs use the club stock in the tournaments they have the responsibility to make sure the club is restocked.

Next meeting The club will have a second meeting on Oct. 29 at 7pm at Peppinos in Seneca.

Cheers Mike Wierda

Hey all- The GODG-RS are canceled for the rest of the year. We tried very hard to have a singles series but due to lack of interest we have abandoned the series.There are people with Club Bucks to spend through the GODG club on disc golf supplies. I will be figuring out the final totals for that money and then posting those numbers.
