Skylands DISCussion

mr bandremer would like to remember the untimely passing of his brother 10 yrs ago this june with a charity disc golf event. he would like to do it with disc golfers. we have a chance to to play everyones fav doubles format, double basket double doubles, and with the length of day, can play one of the rounds from the blue tee. we are looking for a sunday in june and would like to know if there is an interest in such an event. it would be 2 rounds and we would be looking for cash donation and run a ctb between rounds. does any one have an interest in playing in such an event and do they know of any conflict of disc golf interests on any given sunday in june?

LOVE the idea !!!

my dad and my family used hospice services (Passaic County) when my dad was dealing with end-of-life issues in 2009. they do a fantastic job at a time in our lives when we all need support.

i'd be willing to help out in any way i can. but i do need to temper that a little in that my new property will be taking up a lot of time this year so its hard to know how available i will actually be.

i would be willing to use The Oasis for a gathering or tourney central or however else it would help with an event.
maybe it could be media central.

the wolfe woods C-Tier is on saturday the 23rd of june.

playing double basket double doubles is a GREAT idea!!!

I got to play this event for the first time this past Dec and had a great time. This is an enjoyable way to raise some money and awareness for a good cause. I'm looking forward to playing.

6/16 - J-Park Jammer
6/17 - Fathers Day
6/23 - Wolfe Tournament

My vote would be for June 9th or 10th.. I do prefer a Saturday - plus isn't there a Sunday league at Warwick.. don't know if that plays into anything.

after giving it more thought about june 24th i realized that as far as a fundraiser this might not be a good idea. we would be asking people to pay for 2 tourneys and then donate some more money. while a weekend of disc golf is a great idea this may tap the finacial reserves of a lot of people. that i dont want to do. so i throw it back to the 10th of june. sorry for any confusion. MRROACH

Hello all,
In conjunction with the FDR Fool's Fest and the Brian Bandremer Double Basket Double Doubles tournament, I am pleased to announce the Brian Bandremer Basket Raffle.

The FDR Fool's Fest has donated a brand new Innova Discatcher Sport basket, valued $200.00, to be raffled off at the Fool's Fest.

All proceeds will be donated to The United Hospice of Rockland County.

The Discatcher Sport is a great practice basket, and can also serve as a target for temporary courses, camps, schools and home. With just 5 parts, it assembles with the help of a screwdriver in about 5 minutes. The DISCatcher® Sport is PDGA approved for tournament play, and is fun for all ages!


Tickets will be available at various events, such as weeklies, monthlies and wherever else we can make them available.

The raffle will take place on Sunday, April 1st 2012 after the final round of the Fool's Fest.

Tickets are $5.00/each or 3/$10.00

The winner does NOT need to be present to win!

Please show your support by purchasing as many tickets as you can afford!!!

Please message me if you have any questions.

Thank you for your support!!!

"I love it when a plan comes together" - John 'Hannibal' Smith

Really awesome, Michael. Thank you!!!

To all who would like to purchase raffle tickets for this great basket ($5 for one, $10 for three), I will be at the Wolfe Woods Monthly this Sunday selling tickets. All proceeds going to a great cause - United Hospice of Rockland!

Tickets will also be available at the FDR Fools Fest on April 1. And as Mike said, you do not have to attend the event when the winning raffle ticket is pulled. We will have the names and phone numbers of all who purchase tickets on the back of the tickets.

IF you are NOT attending the monthly this Sunday, or the Fools Fest, just PM me (with your email address included) for my home address and you can then send me a check (made out to United Hospice of Rockland) for the amount of raffle tickets you wish to purchase. Once received, I will drop you a line that your donation has been received, and whether or not I see you prior to the Fools Fest Event, when the winning ticket will be pulled, I will personally deliver your tickets to Michael at the beginning of that event (as I will be assisting him to TD that event).

Thank you all! Skylands Rocks!

Sick trophy! I think Nick might have an accident in his pants when he sees that thing.

though i thought numbers am my strong smoot, i dont understand how 4 divisions give you 3 trophys. splain it to me grandma. MRMATH

_________________
the most fun you can have with your clothes on

Mr. Math (aka co-TD), there aren't 4 divisions. There are 3 divisions - Pro, Am, Rec. Three.

It was decided that mixed teams (previously the 4th division) would instead be integrated into one of the 3 divisions, choice of the mixed team what division to play in.

Way to keep the tools in the shed sharp, says grandma.

DG Crew, This event is gonna fill. Im pretty sure this will be the biggest Charity Event Skylands has ever seen, overall total number of sponsorships, and donations. We are already WELL into the thousands...
I just uploaded over 20 sponsors onto the Skylands Home Page. Scott Bandremer is a sponsor machine. AND he's not done yet.... yikes.
I'm very proud to be involved in this super event. As described in the above posts there is a LOT going on here.
Sign Up Now Folks. ( paypal is on the home page)
En CaptJ Sayz... Yar bettar board thar ship before her decks below start overflowwen before yar know it! Aye see some large cargo comin down thar paths aye do!

sailin discs cuz aye love tar watch em sail...

Can we pay cash the day of? Please sign me up. Mike and Jeff Padham am 1 division. Team name probably "Padham and Swiss"

Hi Mike -

Here's the deal. As a charity event with only 36 teams, we have limited space. And because we are a team oriented tourney, it more difficult to handle cancellations and replacements, which we won't be able to accept from anyone unless 1) there is a replacement team waiting in the wings on our wait list, or 2) the team pulling out has a replacement team to step in. Again, it's all about the making sure we do the right thing for the charity (ie raise money, fill the field).

I will put you and Jeff on the am list with an asterisk. As we approach sell out, and a wait list looks likely, I will ask you to pay us at that point or risk losing your spot. With limited space, it has to be a first pay, first served situation. I don't really like setting precedents like this, since we as TDs need to know exactly where we stand with our player/team list prior to the event. As JByrd referenced, there is much planning going on here to coordinate this particular event. So I encourage others to either pay via paypal or send me a check or money order to sign up and lock up your spot. People are starting to send in their money, so we'll just need to see how this goes.

Thanks for your understanding.

Humbabe!

A number of people have told me their intent is to play the tournament, but not sign up until close to the event. In theory, I have no issue with this, IF there is space in the tournament. We are only having 36 teams. Right now we are 1/3 sold out. Obviously, teams that register (pay entry fee, give team name and team members) will go up on the players list. As this is a charity event, we just have to make sure we do our best to fill the slots. Not to mention that late entries makes it difficult for us to gauge how to purchase stuff for the tourney (such as for the players pack, food items, etc).

So....I'm pleased there are many out there planning to come in. I will post your team prior to payment, IF you post your team name and team members on the site prior to payment. I will mark it "not-paid" with the understanding that those who make payment will get preference if the tourney sells out.

Thanks for your understanding and compliance.

Brad Dahle and Ernie Motton in for AM

Team name - The Twos Brothers

as always we will be looking for donations for the ctb. $2 bucks a throw 3 for $5, 7 for $10 dealers choice, maybe even put some good stuff within reach of the rag arm players, just saying. this is a CHARITY event and for and extra $10 a man, $20 for your team you can sponser a hole. the hole which scott has given me credit for is actually a pimpy/roach production, we are sharing the cost. hopefully you never need hospice services, I know i want to go like my grandfather, in my sleep, not like the passengers in the car screaming and shouting. a good cause here and a moment of pride for Scott. Never met Brain but i am honored to support this cause. be generous people, be generous. ROACH


PS don't know why but i never have thrown during a ctb, i must be doing something else.
