I am very happy that the CDSA can act as a conduit for the general public to ask about disc golf and any other frisbee sports and also an organization for the media to pay attention to. Such was the case when The Denver Post did an article about disc golf in August 2012, as a result from multiple CDSA press releases. I thought it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen, when the very top left corner of a major news publication like The Denver Post had the words, "Exploring Disc Golf's…

Every year it seems to be a scramble to get the final9 safari layout at the Badlands, so I thought I'd write it down for prosperity. Remember that these holes are usually in the long/very long pin positions, which makes it easier walking and better flow for this safari course.

Safari Hole 2: tee 17 to hole 1

Safari Hole 3: tee 2 to hole 4

Safari Hole 4: tee 3 to hole 7

2012 is the 20th anniversary of the CDSA and I'm hoping to make it a great one! I would love to have discs, mini's towels, shirts and maybe other stuff, to have a cool 20th anniversary logo. I am experienced in Photoshop, but I know we do have some artists in the disc community as well.

If you have the time to put together some sketches or even a full color finished piece, I would greatly appreciate it. It would be wonderful to have a few examples to review at our board meeting on…
