2009
Tumbleweed Open Update:

held
at the

Unfortunately,
registration has been progressing slowly for the 2009
Tumbleweed Open. The economy is tightening the budgets
of many disc golfers and many people are worried about
being able to pay for rooms and registration by the
deadlines. For this reason,
deadlines for registration are being pushed back to
Aug 21st! You
can sign up for the Tumbleweed
by mail, phone, or in person at any Tucson league
or at doubles the friday before the main event. It
really needs to be stressed that the Tumbleweed
Open is Southern Arizona's biggest and most prestigious
event. We need you guys to help make sure
that this event continues into next year and beyond,
and the only way that is going to happen is if we
can get people out to play THIS year. So please, contact
Ben or Daniel and reserve your spot.
Also,
I have been in dereliction of my duties to sponsors
this year. We need to be sure to thank all of the
sponsors, especially the fine folks at The
Hilton El Conquistador
who are providing us with an OUTSTANDING rate for
rooms at what is easily the finest luxury golf and
tennis resort in Arizona. The rate this year is a
paltry $90.00/night (discounted from the regular
$120 to $140 per night) and this rate is
for single OR double occupancy! That
means if you share with a friend, you are getting
a first-class room plus access to all the amenities
(tennis, water park and swimming pool, restaurants
and bars, spas and etc) for only $45/night! For more
info and to make reservations, click on the logo below!

or
call (520) 544-5000 or toll-free at 1-800-325-7832
IMPORTANT:
To get this rate, be
absolutely sure to state that you are with the Tumbleweed
Open! The
management have agreed to extend the deadline for
reservations for a while, but PLEASE make your reservations
as soon as possible!! if you have issues getting the
discounted rate, contact
Ben or Daniel!
Also,
it would be an injustice to not mention our friends
in the Flagstaff Disc Golf Club, the Arizona
Disc Golf Club, Spinners On The Green, and the brand
new Marana Disc Golf Club. TCL would also
like to extend our deepest thanks to all of our other
sponsors both large and small. It is our sponsors
and players who make this event happen every year,
and without your donations and promotion, not to mention
your attendance, we would not have this event at all. |

be reserved by Aug. 16th to get the discounted
rates!
Groves
'B' league is back up and running. It is on Tuesdays
at 5:30 pm. Cost is $6.00 with $1.00 of each entry
being donated to the Santa Cruz Restoration Project.
Jason Yob is running it this year, so be sure to turn
out for the fun.
There
will be no Groves 'A' league Saturday July 25th, but
starting August 1st Board members will be rotating
responsibilities to run leagues so that there will
be someone running Groves A and Santa Cruz A leagues
EVERY WEEKEND (unless there is a tournament taking
place in the area).
Also,
could those of you who run leagues or have run leagues
in the past which are no longer happening please check
the league schedule
and let me know if anything needs to be changed or
removed? Thanks! |

Happy
New Years, Discers! We have lots of news and updates
this time around, so read on...
Time
again to renew your membership
with TCL. Be sure to print
up a form and get your memberships renewals in
ASAP! We reached record membership numbers last year
and hope to match and exceed those numbers this year.
Be sure to tell all the disc golfers you meet about
that club and the benefits of club membership. The
more members we gain, the better able we are to grow
and improve the sport we all love so much!

Saturday
January 10th and Sunday January 11th at the CDO Wash
Rec Area. For more info and to see the flyer, check
the newly updated 2009
tournament schedule.
Then,
the next weekend, Saturday Jan. 17th, is the TCL Club
Championships! This is a free tournament for all current
club members. This is a one day event playing Santa
Cruz and Groves. Free food and beverages at the award
party afterwards. For more info on the event, see
the 2009 tournament schedule.
January
is free-to-establish month! If you have never played
at any of the week-end handicapped leagues, you don't
know what fun you are missing! But you can find out
for free by turning up to any of the handicapped weekend
leagues and playing for free. This free round will
establish your handicap and give you a chance to get
to know fellow disc golfers in your area! For league
times, see the league schedule.
Our
next open forum club meeting is Thursday Jan.
8th. We will have doubles before the meeting
at 4:30pm at Santa Cruz. This meeting is your opportunity
to share ideas and discuss them with the club officers,
so help TCL plan the coming year by showing up!
The
running total for the Santa
Cruz Restoration Project has been updated! We
are well on our way with donations and sponsorships
for approximately 1/3 of the money needed. Please
keep the donations, small and large, coming in. If
you can's sponsor a whole basket, consider splitting
the cost with someone. If you can't afford that, donate
the change from a ten dollar bill or your winnings
at any league or club event. Santa Cruz is a landmark
course and really does need a facelift, and these
new baskets are the biggest part of restoring that
course. once we replace the baskets, we'll have a
lot more leverage in convincing the parks to install
more new benches, install tee-signs, and maybe even
do some landscaping!
OTHER
NEWS:
Finally,
I have an announcement concerning my position within
the club. It has been my pleasure to serve TCL for
over two years as Secretary, league td, and webmaster.
However, I will be officially retiring as Secretary
and league td. I will be staying on for the foreseeable
future as webmaster. As most of you are know, my wife
and I are expecting a baby daughter in early February,
so the time has come for me to reduce my outside obligations
and focus on taking care of a newborn.
I
nominated Daniel Bohme as my replacement. Daniel accepted
the nomination and was voted in unanimously as the
new Secretary for TCL. Most of you know Daniel, so
you shouldn't be surprised when I that he is a smart,
energetic, capable and well organized individual who
is passionate about disc golf. Please take a moment
when you see him to welcome him into his new position
and thanks him for taking on these duties.
The
official transition to Daniel as the new secretary
will be effective as of the end of the January open
meeting. This means that this will be my last club
meeting as a voting board member. I would be really
awesome to see the lot of you there to mark the end
of my time serving on the TCL board. And I promise
that all beers bought for me after the meeting will
be drank :) |
