Kansas Disc Sport Scholarship
Kansas Disc Sport Scholarship
Howdy one and all. It is time once again to host the annual Scholarship Tournament. The details are still being worked out but we are looking at the 16th of December as a date. A Saturday. We are currently planning on using the Colwich Course and playing, most likely the yellow tees (Recreational). I played these a couple of months ago and only shot par but that's my weanie game. I will post more details as they become available. As you may know, the KDSSF gave away over $300 last year to Billie Jerde, daughter of James (Juice) Jerde of Newton. Billie enjoys playing ultimate and occasionally will play disc golf with her dad. Help us raise some money this year for an 07 graduate. Although Billie is attending college in Newton, this scholarship is for any Kansas school of higher education to include trade schools. Circle the 16th of Dec for a day of fun and a good cause.
Here are the final details. The date is set, Dec 16th; Saturday. The time will be 11am. We are only doing one round and playing the yellow tees to make it a birdie fest. We chose those details so that it might warm up by 11 and that gives people time to get home for Christmas parties after the round. For those that want to stay, I am sure some doubles will happen or something of that nature. Oh, and the cost is $15, half of which goes to the scholarship, the other half to cash and prizes. Hope to see you there.
This is going to be a long post but wanted to put all the information out there for everyone to see. I'll break it up into two posts. First the Cash. There was $526 raised for the scholarship Foundation. Half of this is reserved for principle to build the account, the other half will go to the scholarship. With the Oktoberfriz Auction money and all the interest earned this year we will be able to give out more than we gave out last year. Not much more but more. We raised $182 in entry fees from 26 players, $91 from donated prizes for Am payout, $65 in donated money at the start of the tourney and $100 donated by check before the tourney and $62 in prize payout that was returned after winning. In addition, the ace fund of $26 was surprisingly not won and that money was donated to the foundation as was announced it would be prior to the tournament. See the next post for all the names that donated, how they played, etc.
The Tournament players played on a slightly breezy day and chilly. The trees actually provided good protection for most of the round and we played the yellow tees one time at 11am. The recreational course was just that, fun to play. Dennis Vahsholtz won the Masters and the overall honors with a steady 46. Tied for 2nd was Dave Richardson and Bill Paulson at 47, Harvey Barger 48 and Don Mordecai at 52. In the Open, Chad Garrison and Ben Maass tied for 1st with 47s, 3rd was Jeff Ring 49, 4th-Brad Roeder 51, 5th-Billie Cabral 52, 6th Steve Stuber 56, and 7th Austin Streit 58. Robin Reimer shot a solid 54 for 1st in Pro Women, playing pro for the first time. Am Women was 1st, Miranda Fulton 63 and 2nd- Lacey Ryan 68. Am Masters had 4. 1st- Marcus Anderson 49. 2nd- Randy Sullard 52, 3rd Tom Vierthaler 55. Jerry Sherwood was 4th at 64. Juniors had Calvin Priest take 1st with a 54 and 2nd Jered Edmonston 68. In the Recreational Ams- 1st-Dave Wiley 50, 2nd-BenWiggins 51, James McCaskey 57, Bryce Miller 66 and Rodney Vickers 68. For Doubles, the afternoon was warm and calm. 20 people paired off and played the red tees. Tieing for first with 47s were the team of Jeff Priest and Bill Paulson and the team of Harvey Barger and Ben Maass. 3rd was Chad Garrison and Dennis Vahsholtz with 48. Tied for 4th with 50s were the teams of Brad Roeder and Calvin Priest and the team of Jeff Ring and Jack Robinson.

Okay I lied, I am using three posts instead of two. Here are the people that donated cash over and above the amount they donated for playing. Robin Rymer, Steve Stuber, Dave Richardson, Jack Robinson, Pam Paulson, The KDGA from Brandon Mace, Dennis Vahsholtz, Bill Paulson, Jeff Priest. The following is a list of people that donated prizes which turned into cash; Don Mordecai, Chad Garrison, Dennis Vahsholtz, Bill Paulson and the KDGA. I want to thank every one of the players and donaters for the successful outcome of our fundraiser. I know Jeff would add his name to that thank you and I am certain that whomever the scholarship goes to will be thankful for the gift. Thanks again.
