8/21/2010 Day-of-Course II

of-Course... it Returns!

It was seven-thirty in the morning on the last weekend of summer vacation when the sounds of basket chains were first heard on a stretch of the old Clear Lake Golf Club. Once again Birdshot had summoned disc golfers from all over the city to bring their practice baskets and help create an eighteen hole disc golf course for the day. Once again, it was time for a Day-of-Course.

Day-of-Course II, Of-Course… It Returns! marked the second time that Birdshot has hosted a build a course/play a tourney event on the old golf course. The first event featured a hole design contest and a lot of rain. This time around we ditched the hole design contest and went to a two round format in the hot Texas summer heat. There is a debate among the nine players who attended both events as to which weather made for a more enjoyable round.

$50,000 in Payout Surpassed

Glen Russell signed up for Mo City Mash III mini putting in the $10 entry that pushed the mini entry total to $200. Birdshot pays 90% of entry fees for minis, so that $200 translated into $180 in payout which was enough to push the all time total payout for Birdshot to over $50,000. For being that player, Glen will receive a disc with text on it saying, "Glen Russell's entry fee provided for a total of $50,000 in Birdshot payout." Thanks to all the entrants since Birdshot's inception to bring us to this monumental payout total. Next payout promotional disc will be for $60,000 payout. Keep an eye on the event statistics column for that and also the 4,000th entrant.
