We would like to thank everyone that preregistered and filled the Kentucky State Disc Golf Singles Championships at Idlewild a week prior to the event. You players made this event a success and we enjoyed putting it on for you.
The weather wasn't the best and the course was pretty sloppy in spots, but there were still some good scores thrown out there. Congratulations to all division winners and to Scott Rief, who won the opportunity to represent Kentucky at the United States Disc Golf Championships.
The correct scores are now up.
http://www.pdga.com/tournament-results?TournID=8572 Lee pointed out to me we were off on the par, but that was quickly fixed tonight. I have apologized to Liz for the screw up on her score and I apologize to all of you for that par mix up. I was just in a hurry to get those scores up for you folks, before having some family stuff to do Saturday night and today. I would have gone over with a fine tooth comb tomorrow, rested, and fixed then, if they weren't brought to my attention today.
I want to thank all of our sponsors:

Shoes For Your HybridLife
Keen wasn't able to help us out last year when I asked for Kentucky States, but kept their promise on helping us out this year!
"If you can encourage people to go to our site and fill out a HybridLife Communty profile that would be great. Be sure they select Disc Golf in the section “How I Create, Play, Care” The more support I can show from discgolfers in the world, the more KEEN can support Disc Golf."
That is part of a message from my contact at Keen to me and I believe him. Please go and let them know how much you enjoy disc golf and how you appreciate them sponsoring the sport.
Mr. Lee Stephens Lee donated a tall stack of plastic to the tournament, helped out on the course all week prior to the tournament, helped out getting stuff together the night before and helped tons on getting the final board completed on Saturday. He was a TD and deserves the credit.
Lyle McCoon
Lyle donated a tall stack of plastic with the Lexington Open stamps. Reminder that awesome tournament is just days away, this weekend.
Keith Dailey Keith went into the vault and brought out some classic plastic that went to the tournament and to the raffle. Also helped put things together on Friday night prior to the event.

Thanks to all of our great sponsors!!! Anyone I failed to mention here, please know your support was greatly appreciated.
We did have a raffle. I will call it a great raffle. 100% of the proceeds from the raffle went to a friend that is raising money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society through his Team In Training
http://pages.teamintraining.org/soh/philtri09/nthomas event.
You players and sponsors helped raise nearly $500 towards his goal to help those battling various cancers.
Every player in the tournament was given a raffle ticket for the drawing and was able to increase their odds by purchasing additional ones for $1 each or six for $5. Brad Anderson was very generous, as well as others, and his numbers were soon being called to win numerous prizes, that overflowed off of a pinic table.
Some of the fine things that were raffled off included:
Various first run discs, including Star Destroyer, all new never thrown.
Bunch of CFR or Cryztal discs with different tournament stamps, all new never thrown.
Innova t-shirts and hats.
All other kinds of disc golf stuff, as well as some quality gems:
Bottle of Absolut New Orleans, which is a special edition Mango/Black Pepper flavored Vodka. Makes a fine Bloody Mary, I'm just saying.
A giant remote controled model train set.
Free pair of Keen Shoes (your choice from their website).
$25 Mastercard.
Coozie full of change. There could have been .59 cents in there, there could have been $1.59, wasn't sure.
Gallon of windshield wiper fluid.
The Soul Train 25th Anniversary three compact disc set.
Set of hi-fi tower speakers that were purchased from dudes in a white van.
Idlewild Disc Golf Course reusable bottles.
Holiday collector Budweiser stein.

Lots of other items as well as the things that got the loudest applause, from a crowd that seemed to be entertained by this fat man & a dude with a moustache some couldn't bear to look at, Girl Scout Cookies!!!
Thanks to everyone that participated, you really were giving back and making a difference.
