I wanted to post a reminder if what this is all about. It seems like the message gets lost when people look at the site and dont read the info page. The reason for this effort is to raise awareness of our sport. Through press, radio and television the sport will get exposure as the tour proceeds across America. The other side of this tour is that we intend to have fifty fund raiser tournaments for the E.D.G.E. program. The goal is to raise about $20,000 for the kids. If you are not familiar with the E.D.G.E. program check it out at www.egdediscgolf.org. If you think you can help or have ideas on how the tour can get more sponsorship or support please feel free to contact me at alanb@mindspring.com. Also along the way GPS coordinates will be gathered at the first tee pad at each course and provided to the PDGA for the course directory, and general info will be updated about the courses. These efforts will benifit all golfers as they look to find new courses to play as they travel. Thank you for stopping by!

As the time draws near for the tour to start I am asking for direct sponsorship from the disc golf community. The bulk of my sponsorship so far has been incentive based relating to the number of courses I play along the way. I need some funds to get this on the road. With the cost of fuel rising and the economy being very sluggish my efforts so far have yeilded only a small amount of cash in hand. If you think you can help please contact me at alanb@mindspring.com or call me at 520-437-3786.

Richard Knerr died today he was 82. In 1948 Richard and Arthur”spud”Melin started WHAM-O and the rest was as they say “history”. And what a history it is, how about the HULA HOOP, the SUPERBALL, SLIP N SLIDE, SILLY STRING, and my personal favorite the FRISBEE! These men provided countless hours of relaxation and just plain old fashioned fun. Discgolf’s very own Steady Ed Hedrick worked in R&D and had to find a use for large amounts of surplus plastic from the Hula Hoop fad and the Frisbee was born! THANK YOU ED! THANK YOU SPUD! THANK YOU RICHARD!
