I don't know man. I'd have to get up there and make a speech and promise things I have no intention of doing. And what if I run and lose. :(....It will be worst than being picked last in grade school when teams were being decided. :confused:

Besides, these meetings don't seem to have the backstabbing and conspiracies going on since you and John Green left. Nowdays everybody just agrees with everything the others have to say. It's like school bond issues in the Union district. Nothing ever gets voted down. ;)....On top of that, at every meeting there's a new guy that "has the chair" but I've never seen that guy get to take "the chair" home with him. :confused:....Seems like a rip-off to me.

And why do they have to be called admins??....Why can't they be called "Lords of the Disc" or "God's of Flight". :cool:

Furdog's Official Platform......

I'm your top prime cut of meat, I'm your choice,
I wanna be elected,
I'm your yankee doodle dandy in a gold Rolls Royce,
I wanna be elected,
Kids want a saviour, don't need a fake,
I wanna be elected,
We're all gonna rock to the rules that I make,
I wanna be elected, elected, elected.

I never lied to you, I've always been cool,
I wanna be elected,
I gotta get the vote, and I told you 'bout school,
I wanna be elected, elected, elected,
Hallelujah, I wanna be selected,
Everyone in the United States of America.

We're gonna win this one, take the country by storm,
We're gonna be elected,
You and me together, young and strong,
We're gonna be elected, elected, elected,
Respected, selected, call collected,
I wanna be elected, elected.

"And if I am elected
I promise the formation of a new party
A third party, the Wild Party!
I know we have problems,
We got problems right here in Central City,
We have problems on the North, South, East and West,
New York City, Saint Louis, Philadelphia, Los Angeles,
Detroit, Chicago,
Everybody has problems,
And personally, I don't care."

Some of our members have failed to update their current mailing addresses with the club. I know this from personal experience plus I have failed to notify Mr. Treat of my own new address. I hope that those attending the club picnic will take the time to adjust this matter by checking the address used on the member list and making the adjustments as needed.

sschumacher
Sep 05 2007, 05:14 PM
What are you looking for in a newsletter that you can't get on a monthly flyer? Cooking receipes?...A Twoputt comic strip?...How to cure ED?.. :o

I used to think a news letter was a good idea but I think to mail them out would be a waste of money because people move all the time. I would think they could be made available to members at mini's and could contain general info on club investments, admin attendance, who's stabbing who in the back, and who's not getting the love they feel they're entitled too.

Right now, you have to contact Treat for most of that info but he's busy now days breaking his leg and running mini's. ;)

It is official.

I am announcing my campaign for Administrator.

I may not be the oldest cat on the block, but I think I can offer the club a lot.

I attend most of the Administration meetings anyway, and I have always wanted to voice my opinion in an official capacity, but since I was just an average Joe in there (no offense Rotan) I didn�t feel it was my place.

I am active in the club outside of the Administration meetings as well. I donated many hours to the preparation of the Tulsa courses used for Worlds this past year, as we all did. I put my sweat and blood into Blackhawk, as many others did. I am a full time student pursuing a law degree. This allows me to devote the time needed to be an asset to the club.
I have been and will continue to be increasingly active in the local tournament scene, along with other club activities.

As for my platform�

I think the younger generation of golfers need representation in the administrator meetings and I want to be that voice. I think diversity in any debate like setting is always good for the process of fully understanding ideas and their consequences or benefits. I for one will be active in analyzing new club business and keeping what I think my peers would want in the front of my mind, not just enforcing my own opinions.

I am an aspiring tournament director and would like to host more events in the future, and in doing so learn how to better run an event.

I think that some new blood is never a bad thing, and I hope that everyone will support me in my campaign for administrator.

Hey there Hillary. The following TDSA members are leaving for Rock Hill.

Wise
Watson
Rotan
Connors
McCoy
Peavey

I don't think there is an absentee ballot so they probaby won't get to vote. You need to do something about getting their votes before they leave because there is a growing underground grass roots movement to write in and bring back Dave Wise and/or John Green. :o

As an old guy I feel those guys will represent me better than some carrot top legal assistant but I'm willing to give you a shot if you can tell me what you're going to do for the old guys and short arms of the sport. :confused:

I think they can send them in via e-mail...

The reason most old guys don't throw far is because they don't like moving their bodies that fast. It feels unsafe so they stop attempting it...

looks like that bear's up to no good, mean look in his eye, maybe the bear's trying to steal that disc and they're trying to take him out to get their disc back, also looks like a snow ball in his hand, probably harassing the golfers throwin snowballs at them :confused:

I saw you campaign post but it all sounded like a bunch of lawyer "fluff".

How about some real promises???.....Like.....

If Thong gives you the go ahead would you be willing to run a one day "C" tier for the TDSA at Dovillio and call it "The Ousted Open: Part II"?

Would you be willing to shave your head and change your name to "Butts" for a day?

What about Stillwater next year?....Is there a one day possibility? :confused:

Birdie
Sep 27 2007, 03:29 PM
First of all, if I ran a one day C tier at Dovillio, you would not get to name it.

Second of all, you can't shave your head for just a day.

And lastly, I don't know, but probably not. We will see.

I will bring a bunch of ideas I have been thinking about to my first admin meeting as an admin.

I have ideas cooking, and it is all about growth and exposure...and not the way you are used to either of those concepts Furpup...

More one day tournaments are the way to go. Some of us old guys have already gotten our bodies into perfect shape. Not all of us need a two day tournament for extended exercise when our bodies have already been sculpted into perfect form. Quit looking for a 3rd and 4th chance at life. If you�re going to be in the band you need to get it right the first time or get off the stage. If there�s camping that�s another thing but how about 2 one day tournaments in the same weekend? More points, more opportunities, more choice, more turnout!!!! :)

Don�t wait until you get behind closed doors to discuss your ideas. :(

WE can't just switch to all one days just because some people get physically tired after two...or in your case.....one round. But we should do more of them....

But closed doors are a good thing. If the Club did all of their business right out here on the message board there would be, aside from the obvious loss of surprise on exciting happenings, people posting in all the time wanting to arbitrate their own agenda's into the plan. You have to think club wide first of all, but then you have to focus on your majority. Our majority of players, in my opinion, want two day, four round (Or three, or three and a final 9 or one of Joe's concoctions) tournaments.

The need for an increase in one day sanctioned and unsanctioned events is obvious. I really feel that that aspect, that is the Monthly tournament, is not implemented nearly enough for our player counts.

With scheduled minis comes a nice structure. Something you can set your watch to...But times don't work out perfectly for everyone. Some people may, due to their work or personal schedule, never get to play in a certain mini.

With a regular monthly tournament comes consistent play and observation of all of Tulsa's courses.

With the whole populous of disc golfers out playing, all the courses probably get played pretty consistently. But with a monthly mini those who may not have a chance to get out to their favorite course come mini time, will have a chance to plan months in advance for their courses tournament. You also get every course the attention they deserve seeing that we could spruce them up one at a time.

I guess I figured we would do a course by course program. List up the courses and and just play them in a loop....and never stop... :D

<font color="red">I agree but some things like admin attendance should be more readily available without having to hunt down the minutes from every meeting. I'm not talking about a witch hunt. Just a general idea on who is showing up for the meetings. Otherwise you could have ten admins but only 5 of them are showing up to vote on the issues. Accountability is something members should expect. If somebody votes you in and you only show up every once in a while then you need to take a crap or get off the pot. On the other hand most people might not care as long things seem to be running ok. I just hope that when 5 people vote in an event that requires a lot of volunteers, they don�t take those volunteers for granted.</font>

<font color="red">I agree. I think there should be a better mix of both. If a TD is going to take the time for a two day tournament the TD should get a profit for his time and efforts. What I'm talking about is one day �C� tier club ran tournaments where all profit goes back into the club. It�s not much different then running our 2 &amp; 2 mini�s on Saturday�s except the TD�s are volunteering their time. Rotate the TD�s &amp; the courses. Carl Butts had a nice one day �C� tier at Dovillo one time. Too bad he stepped out of the sport. Almost anybody could run one. I would need to pass the officials test and somebody would have to walk me thru the TD report to the PDGA. You could even do two one day�s back to back. I think Wayne was the one that said you could pay one sanction fee and run two different �C� tiers on the same weekend. Do you want to talk about attendance numbers? Swaggies one day McClure Classic / 55 people in the rain. Alma, Arkansas one day / 74 people. Get in, get out, get on with your life. The majority will follow.

The TDSA is a money making machine. In just one round of golf we raised $104 at the Mystic Moose Shootout. I noticed that the usually Chandler gang of Two Guns, Snakeskin, and the Hindshaw gang didn�t show up until after the event. Seems like they and about 10 or twelve other people went over to Haikey and had their own mini. I wondered later if my $20 entry might have been over the top for some people. I�m not saying that is the reason they didn�t attend my event but for some maybe it was. Maybe next time I should do a $15 entry like Slim used to do.

I think the main thing the admins do is to intellegently decide on where club funds should be allocated. I think they do a very good job. Tulsa has become saturated with DG courses now and we�re running out of land. I know people don�t want the river tax but I was kind of hoping it would open up some new spaces for new courses on the west side of the river. There�s no garrantees though I know.

If the TDSA treasury fund continues to grow at what point could other benefits of being an active member be established?

Creative one day tournaments ran by the club with low entry fees and volunteer TD�s will bring in more cash and turnout and ultimately benefit the two day events. Keep your focus on the majority like you said but don�t burn out your volunteers or the people that are in it for the fun.

<font color="blue"> I do as well...but there is always room for improvement. One thing I disagree with is people being able to present an idea that involves a large cash amount AND get it approved that night....Not to sound odd about that, I am a firm believer in a little think time on big ideas; not that doing so would be practical, it's not go for getting things done, but I think it is worth consideration.</font>
<font color="black"> </font> There is always the ability to make a motion to table a question for a month so that it can be studied at length and then reintroduced if it is worthy of consideration. This does happen from time to time and over half of the time the matter is deemed unworthy of reintroduction the next month. :)

Tulsa has become saturated with DG courses now and we�re running out of land.<font color="blue">No, and no.</font> I know people don�t want the river tax but I was kind of hoping it would open up some new spaces for new courses on the west side of the river. There�s no guarantees though I know.

If the TDSA treasury fund continues to grow at what point could other benefits of being an active member be established?

<font color="blue">Ideas are good, empty questions don't get much done. Tee-shirts....probably possible. Custom drivers license style membership cards with an "action shot"....maybe, maybe not...It all depends on what you mean. </font>
<font color="black"> </font> True enough player promotion and not Pro Player payouts will continue to grow the spot in out region, it is entirely possible that the TDSA may indeed become a regional force for disc sports. It would be nice if we were able to widen our focus to include other disc sports beyond disc golf into the non money making areas like MTA, Distance, DDC, and bringing back our show place events like free style, of which we have several past champions in our club.
Creative one day tournaments ran by the club with low entry fees and volunteer TD�s will bring in more cash and turnout and ultimately benefit the two day events. Keep your focus on the majority like you said but don�t burn out your volunteers or the people that are in it for the fun. <font color="blue"> Total agreement. </font>
</font>




<font color="black"> </font> With the World Am event scheduled for KC in 2009 our events even "C" tier will not lack for players. :cool:

<font color="black">I think the Club is at a pivotal point in its history and it needs people in right now with new ideas and the motivation to get them done. I for one am ready to do that task. I want to see Tulsa become the undisputed Mecca or disc golf vacation spot $$$
<font color="red"> </font> With the addition of The Lodge and our continuing efforts to improve and maintain existing courses and an increased effort to schedule mini and low fee sanctioned events we will by density of scheduling increase public awareness of our sport. And some day assume our rightful place as a true sport and not as an Alt. sport as we are currently billed.

.....with guided tours of Blackhawk, and donkey rides by Furdog......</font>


<font color="pink"> </font> and witty banter from the players! :D

wow talk about some reading

on this no way
if 20 buck is to much then they should probably be saving up to pay bills any way
just my opinion
The TDSA is a money making machine. In just one round of golf we raised $104 at the Mystic Moose Shootout. I noticed that the usually Chandler gang of Two Guns, Snakeskin, and the Hindshaw gang didn�t show up until after the event. Seems like they and about 10 or twelve other people went over to Haikey and had their own mini. I wondered later if my $20 entry might have been over the top for some people. I�m not saying that is the reason they didn�t attend my event but for some maybe it was. Maybe next time I should do a $15 entry like Slim used to do.

Well, long story short. The benefits of one day sanctioned C tiers easily merit some further investigation and inquiry.

Is that better?

I would just like to thank everyone who voted for me.

Furdog &amp; Wayne...thanks for running the event, great job.

Also thanks to Furdog (again) and Dave Wise for donating baskets for the temp course.

I had a great time today I was just bummed out that there weren't more people out there. We had to scramble to get a quorum (40 people)to vote! I am not trying to point fingers at anyone, I just like seeing everyone together! :o

I just love this Club and I am going to do my best to help and and hopefully build on what we have and leave it better than I found it for the next guy.

I know that sounds soppy, but that is how I feel.

So is there a list of all of the previous State Coordinators?

That is something I would like to see. How long has the PDGA been established?

Where is Doc Doom when you need him! Where is the old boy? We need a signal like Batman had.... :cool:

I'd like to thank Joyle Deering for helping me mark the alternate course. I also want to thank the following.

Lil'Moose for helping me forage for food supplies and running out to get more hot dogs. :cool:

Wayne Forrest for TD'ing the events. I'm sure all the flight events you've been doing have raised some nice cash for the OO.

Andrew Treat for bringing the six extra baskets and helping me set them up. Congrats on your victory buddy. I've got faith in you.

John Barton for helping me pick up the flags and baskets afterwards. You and Carla are a great asset to TDSA. :)

Jose Mendoza This guy does it all. Whether it's getting volunteers organized for Am Worlds or coordinating sales of leftover TDSA mechandise.

To everyone else that showed up whether you were a member or not You came out and supported something you believe in and I thank you all. :cool:

Logan, my partner in the doubles round, drove all the all the way from Kansas. Mike and Kim Click came down from OKC. It's always a pleasure having them around. :)

For those of you who couldn't make it???...Well I'm sure you had your reasons. The picnic was scheduled earlier this year than normal. With all the other events going on now days it's hard to find a weekend where everybody can get together. :(

Stay involved and be curious about what's going on. Keep your memberships up to date and give something back when you can. There's a lot going on in the back ground. Find out what your admin's are doing for you and voice your opinion on what direction you would like to see the club moving towards. Show tomorrow's generation what a united group of members, volunteers, and supporters can do. Bring the vision to their eyes and fill their ears with the sound of plastic whacking trees. :)

<font color="red"> :cool:well considering the way i putt maybe they should be 80' to 110' apart that way i could throw the drive as an aproch shot and have a drop in for birdie but then again sombody would just make them all par two holes. congrats again to Mike Click who aced hole one through the trees with a putter on Saturday. And all the while he was trying to tell me that he couldn's putt :eek: </font>
