Thanks Rodney, Ryan & Don for a great course and tourney!

...hardcore fours with Ron/Jeremy on the Dyck course....

Pond shot was postcard material. 890+ ft hole was great. You coulda landed a small aircraft on that fairway!

As usual, lots of fun playing this tourney! Tunnel shot is always a challenge! Little tunnel shot is too! Every shot was "fun" with that wind. Best part of the day was lunch! Thanks for the good food "mom"! Ryan and Rodney did lots of work for this one! 11 of us are grateful! Was a fun day for sure! This is one tourney that I will be back for!

Sounds like it was a good time. That would be great to have a course on your own piece of property.

What were the results? I'll total up the points.

Thank you so much for those of you who were fortunate enough to play in this tournament. I had a blast and I wish more people would have had the opportunity. I'm not sure why the low numbers. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to make this tournament more inviting in the futre I would also like to thank Hometown Electric from Wichita, Sam's Pizza Barn from Ashland, Ryan Beisner, and Don Mordecai for donating the generous amount of added cash that they did. I know Ron Convers thanks them.

...Double points in 2008?

Master Dyck · Post by **Master Dyck** » Tue Oct 09, 2007 4:24 pm

I don't think that double points would be enough. Maybe triple or quadruple points. They should take the two lowest attended tournaments and quadruple the points the next year. And triple the third and fourth lowest attended tournaments. That might help the smaller tournaments get more attendance each year. Just an idea.

Or maybe just kick all the smaller events off the tour. Maybe then people would come and play all the KDGA events.

There is no answer to why people don't come.

I didn't come because I am playing events the next 2 weekends.

You have to do something special to get people to play you event. Paying $300 to the winner may be enough.

There a few people coming out to the farm Sunday afternoon Oct 28 to play a round or two. We will start playing at 2-2:30pm. Anyone who wants to check out the course for the first time or who is in the area is invited to play. Maybe we can get enough for doubles. The directions to the farm are in the Tournament section under "2nd annual Cedar Elm Open" or you can call me at 316-284-1204. Hope to see a good turn out.
