We would like to thank everyone that preregistered and filled the
Kentucky State Disc Golf Singles Championships at Idlewild a week prior
to the event. You players made this event a success and we enjoyed
putting it on for you.
The weather wasn't the best and the course was pretty sloppy in spots,
but there were still some good scores thrown out there. Congratulations
to all division winners and to Scott Rief, who won the opportunity to
represent Kentucky at the United States Disc Golf Championships.
The correct scores are now up here. Lee pointed out to
me we were off on the par, but that was quickly fixed tonight. I have
apologized to Liz for the screw up on her score and I apologize to all
of you for that par mix up. I was just in a hurry to get those scores
up for you folks, before having some family stuff to do Saturday night
and today. I would have gone over with a fine tooth comb tomorrow,
rested, and fixed then, if they weren't brought to my attention today.
I want to thank all of our sponsors:
Northern Kentucky Disc Golf Club Group of folks that work on courses in
NKY that decided to call themselves something. www.IdlewildDiscGolf.com
for updates on current projects or workdays the club is working on.

Shoes For Your HybridLife
Keen wasn't able to help us out last year when I asked for Kentucky States, but kept their promise on helping us out this year!
"If you can encourage people to go to our site and fill out a
HybridLife Communty profile that would be great. Be sure they select
Disc Golf in the section “How I Create, Play, Care” The more support I
can show from discgolfers in the world, the more KEEN can support Disc
Golf."
That is part of a message from my contact at Keen to me and I believe
him. Please go and let them know how much you enjoy disc golf and how
you appreciate them sponsoring the sport.
Mr. Lee Stephens Lee donated a tall stack of plastic to the tournament,
helped out on the course all week prior to the tournament, helped out
getting stuff together the night before and helped tons on getting the
final board completed on Saturday. He was a TD and deserves the credit.
Lyle McCoon
Lyle donated a tall stack of plastic with the Lexington Open stamps.
Reminder that awesome tournament is just days away, this weekend.
Keith Dailey Keith went into the vault and brought out some classic
plastic that went to the tournament and to the raffle. Also helped put
things together on Friday night prior to the event.

Thanks to all of our great sponsors!!! Anyone I failed to mention here, please know your support was greatly appreciated.
We did have a raffle. I will call it a great raffle. 100% of the
proceeds from the raffle went to a friend that is raising money for the
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society through his Team In Training
http://pages.teamintraining.org/soh/philtri09/nthomas event.
You players and sponsors helped raise nearly $500 towards his goal to help those battling various cancers.
Every player in the tournament was given a raffle ticket for the
drawing and was able to increase their odds by purchasing additional
ones for $1 each or six for $5. Brad Anderson was very generous, as
well as others, and his numbers were soon being called to win numerous
prizes, that overflowed off of a pinic table.
Some of the fine things that were raffled off included:
Various first run discs, including Star Destroyer, all new never thrown.
Bunch of CFR or Cryztal discs with different tournament stamps, all new never thrown.
Innova t-shirts and hats.
All other kinds of disc golf stuff, as well as some quality gems:
Bottle of Absolut New Orleans, which is a special edition Mango/Black
Pepper flavored Vodka. Makes a fine Bloody Mary, I'm just saying.
A giant remote controled model train set.
Free pair of Keen Shoes (your choice from their website).
$25 Mastercard.
Coozie full of change. There could have been .59 cents in there, there could have been $1.59, I wasn't sure.
Gallon of windshield wiper fluid.
The Soul Train 25th Anniversary three compact disc set.
Set of hi-fi tower speakers that were purchased from dudes in a white van.
Idlewild Disc Golf Course reusable bottles.
Holiday collector Budweiser stein.
1998 Starting Lineups action figure collector set featuring Sammy Sosa
& Mark McGwire in package, unopened. The juice is loose.
The complete Hank Williams 10 compact disc boxed set.
America: The board game.
Craftsman cordless drill.
Big Box of 60's Soul: Beg, Scream & Shout 6 compact disc boxed set.
Lots of other items as well as the things that got the loudest
applause, from a crowd that seemed to be entertained by this fat man
& a dude with a moustache some couldn't bear to look at, Girl Scout
Cookies!!!
Thanks to everyone that participated, you really were giving back and making a difference.
