Clinics to bring awareness to our sport.

[jaywilkins]

I am thinking that putting on a clinic here at North Drive would definitely get more public involvement and awareness as to why we throw things at baskets. People who don't really know what we are doing and look at us like we are stupid when we yell fore! I am mainly talking about the general public who utilize the playground and walking trail. Unfortunately, as long as the soccer fields are there, people will NOT park their vehicles elsewhere besides along the side of the driveway by holes 1 and 2. It is my opinion, that these people are just asking for their vehicles to be hit. Perfect analygies have been made such as parking next to a baseball field or parking in front of a hockey goal. While I am not bad-mouthing soccer because it IS a sport, just like ours.
Anyhow, before I start sounding like a preacher at a revival, does anyone have any ideas on how to get some putters and mid-ranges? Now I know somebody is already thinking,"well buy some!" Well, to you, I say that money is a little hard to get when people want to hold onto it and while sometimes you can get donations, it not always a guaranteed thing.
If anybody can, help me out here. Showing somebody how to putt, throw backhand or forearm drives, etc. could go a long way.

This could be incorporated into the "ace race" / "run at the chains". We could offer dual events at North Drive and Air Port. With the cost of posters for the parks and posting here on the web site we could have registration with pre-pay and then purchase the disc. The manufactures I have contacted all offer bulk rates. After we have our minimum the players would get two or more disc at a discounted price and the club could raise funds for future events. During the event more experienced players (club members) offer advice to the beginners. This way the "clinic" is part of the "game". Just an idea. Contact me and we can work out the details together.
