Thanks again all those who had a hand in making this very special event happen

On behalf of all of the players of the Throw To Know thanks again all those who had a hand in making this very special event happen. Emily Genter for coming up with the idea and making it a reality the last 3 years, John Genter for keeping it going this year, Greg Ramirez for giving it moral and logistical backbone and support, Eric Naylor, Jerry Hallman and "the Man" Jake, our friendly hard-working Anson B Nixon Park grounds keeper, for bringing the course to a new level of fun and playability. Also the countless volunteers who took the time to come out and help run the event. From registration, players package handout, food and beverage preparation and serving, and running all of the special activities (CTP, Speed Golf, Ring of Fire, Raffles, etc.) you did a great job. The Squares extraordinary relationship with our park board of directors also has played a significant roll in the development of the course and our various events and activities. Richard Lyon has been invaluable in much of the course improvements we enjoy at Kennett, as have the other board members. You're efforts have been recognized and very much appreciated.

Thank you guys.

The Squares look to the future with excitement and great expectations

The Squares look to the future with excitement and great expectations of improving our course, the condition of the woods and land we play on, our events and our relationship with the greater and more local community.

Our slice of disc golf nirvana

On a personal note, in the 29 years I've been playing and been involved with disc golf, I've never been around a group of better folks. We should all cherish this time and the community we've built and make every effort to nurture and grow it, as it can be a very fragile and fleeting thing. I hope everyone took a moment yesterday just to look around and take it all in, that was our slice of disc golf nirvana.

We have just got our shipment of Innova Discs in and are ready to spread the love. See Greg Ramirez or John Genter at Tuesday Doubles.

Come on out on Sunday, June 28th 2009 and help get the course ready for the Throw To Know. The Squares are still a small club and can use all the help we can get. There is much left to do to get the course in tournament shape, so show a little love for the course that has given so much.

Things left to do:

1. Mulching around hole 1
2. Weed whacking around hole 2 
3. Erosion control and mulching around tee 3
4. Mulching and weed whacking holes 5 and 6
5. Weed whackign around hole 7
6. Mulching and weed whacking holes 8 and 9
7. Move the teepad at the bottom of the hill on hole 8 top of hill for new 9 tee
8. Move the old tee at bottom of the hill to new tee top of hill hole 13
9. Mulching and weed whacking hole 15, 17 and 18
10. Move the teepad of 18 to the left and slightly shorter.

We've been doing Sunday Work Days for the past few weeks and will continue right up to the tournament, if you have some time, even an hour or two, we'd love to see you out there. Dare to be Square and Care.

There are still spots open for the event, to register go to: http://www.throwtoknow.com/registerform.html

Charitable donations and sponsorship opportunities are also available at the link above and would be much appreciated. 

Hey everyone, there's loads of stuff going on at our host park, Anson B Nixon!!! It's been a while since we've given a heads up here but then again we've been at the course and not here online!!! Sorry for the delay!

First up is the Throw to Know Tournament

which is just around the corner on July 12th! Emily Genter has been working extremely hard behind the scenes and is putting together yet another great tournament! Anyone who had played the Throw to Know can definitely say it is a MUST PLAY event! The course is looking good for the tournament, the sponsors are lined up, the beer is secured, and the 3rd Annual Throw to Know to looking to top last year's money total. So get registered today!! This will fill up!!! As a reminder, the Throw to Know is a benefit event for the Autism Awareness! Many, many thanks goes to all that have put in loads of work on the course itself! The new holes are really looking good as the fairways have opened up. New holes of 8 and 9 are playing nicely. We've even had our first ace on hole #9 by our Course Pro, Boomer, during Tuesday Doubles Squares!! WOW.

Speaking of Tuesday Double Squares ...

We have seen many new faces at our weekly random doubles tournaments. As a reminder we have an informal doubles touney of one round when we pick random teams of two and play one round. Start time is 6pm every Tuesday night. Entry is $3 and we have an optional Ace pool and CTP (closest to the pin) for an additional $1 each. No need to bring a partner as we will pick teams by drawing 2 minis at a time for teams. The Squares welcome all skill levels and are beginner friendly! We have paid out 4 aces this year but none since early spring! The Squares pay $50 for aces as long as there is money in the pot! (Hey there's money in the pot!) Come and get it!!!! CTP prizes range from beer to discs and someone wins every week for this one. This past week we saw our biggest turnout of the season with 24 players!!! Way cool!
