Smitty,

You pimp da holes and I'll pimp da pubs! Be careful though, I don't want that high percent of alcohol to hinder your game.... unless you just want to get your competitors loopy? Interesting strategy, has it ever worked before?

I found out today that we were approved for the CVB Grant. That means that T-shirts, discs and mini's will be almost completely covered by grant funding. This will allow us to roll more sponsorship dollars back into payout. Bottomline, we will have a healthy payout this year!!!!

My mom is planning on offering the same discounted rates as in years past.

Can't remember the price off my head but It's usually a decent price. Much cheaper than anywhere else and rooms are cleanest in town.

Tracy,

Last year your Mom offered a flat rate of $42, but it may be a bit more with inflation.

Marshall,

What do your kids enjoy? Check out http://www.haysusa.net or http://www.haysusa.com If they enjoy dinosaurs, there is always the Sternberg Museum. There is also a junior division if they like to play disc golf. It would be cool if the Aquatic Park was still open, but they usually shut that down when school starts. I'll do some research and see if there is anything else going on that weekend. Hope you and your family can make it down.

We will be POOOOOOOOPED on Saturday. That is going to be a ton of golf. Sunday will be nice, get it done and on the road.

I think that this is going to be better then waiting on every tee. Like we use to in the past.

Should be able to get that weekend off, plan on being there. Hopefully we can get more people to show up this year. I've been trying to get a bunch of people to come out there this year but we also have a tourny going on the same weekend in Tabernash,CO(only C-tier). But i have informed a lot of people about how great of a course it is and that they should try and make it to the tourny. So hopefully we can get a few more extra people to show. Anyways looking forward to coming back to Hays.

Pat,

Glad you're gonna make it down. If we get posters made up I'll be sure to send some your way. Hope to see some more Coloradians this year. Thanks for spreading the word.

I met with Jeff Boyle last week and will meet with Ron this week. Jeff plans on mowing the fairways an inch shorter and leaving the rough about three inches higher. They also will chalk OB and baskets for us. We should be able to pull six baskets from Rolling Hills for the temp holes, so there will be 24 Mach III's for consistency. Ah yes, the park will be looking gooood!!! They will also place mulch around the tees and baskets that need it and any worn to dirt areas.

I offered a $500 title sponsorship this year and we may have some takers. I can't make any promises at this point for cash added to the purse, but we raised $1,500 last year, and I know we can match that!
