Playing these courses will be the experience of a lifetime and a must for the adventuress types.<br />
The event will be held Saturday, April 7 and Sunday, April 8 at the McCormack Farms disc golf courses.<br />
This year we&#8217;ve added a 3rd course which features scenic views of the Gasconade river as the course meters its way up the highest ridge on the farm and back down. Holes 14 &amp; 15 are situated amongst several 15&#8242; -20&#8242; high free standing boulders.<br />
There&#8217;s several holes cut out of the woods, a few in a &#8220;close to heaven like&#8221; meadow a top the ridge!<br />
While this course is no where near as long as Ozark Mountain, or as tight as Akita&#8217;s Run, it has a little bit of everything and is a fun yet challenging course and a great addition to the event. <a href="http://gdstour.com/wp-content/uploads/2012-ozark-mountain-open.pdf">Click HERE to view the FLYER or on the image below to open the PDF.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks for your interest in Gateway disc sports,  our disc golf products and specifically the disc golf baskets!</p>
<p>Let me start off by saying I stand behind the quality and functionality of our Disc Golf Baskets so much, that I would be willing  to guarantee the purchase of a BullsEye or Titan pro 24 portable,,,,, 100%.  If for any reason you are not satisfied with your purchase within 30 days you can return the basket and discs on our shipping account and I&#8217;ll refund the money you spent on  the basket.</p>
<p>Either target would come with 6 putters of your choice, as  you may already know Gateway disc sports Putters ( Wizard, Magic Vodoo and Warlock) are each available in 4 different flexes ( soft, super-soft, super-stupid-soft and medium) and are considered by most to be the #1 putters in the game. You get to choose your exact 6 putters.!!!</p>
<p>Even after just 1 session of practicing on the BullsEye Basket, you will notice a huge improvement in your putting.<br />
The concept of aiming at a smaller target (12&#8243; diameter with 15 outer chains) will make a regulation size basket much easier to hit as you learn to aim in the center.<br />
The catching ability of a BullsEye when hit in the chains is as good as any target ever made, with literally no cut throughs or bounce backs.<br />
Ive heard many top pros ( including Nikko,, who has trained on the prototype of this basket many times over the last 3 years) say that they wish this size basket was used for competition at the highest level. When your putt hits dead center on this target is pretty much always stays in, which can not be said for most current targets approved for championship play, where spit outs and cut throughs<a href="http://gdstour.com/wp-content/uploads/portable-baskets-ad-big.jpg"><img src="http://gdstour.com/wp-content/uploads/portable-baskets-ad-big.jpg" alt="" title="portable-baskets-ad-big" width="612" height="792" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1910" /></a> are very common.</p>
<p>The Titan Portable is the best catching target on the market with 24 chains and smaller diameter rings for holding them closer together.<br />
This target is a scaled down version ( using 3/8ths&#8221; and 1/4&#8243; steel) of our Titan pro -24 which uses 1/2&#8243; steel for  its entire construction.<br />
I&#8217;ll put the titan 24&#8242;s up against any basket in the industry for durability and catch ability!!!</p>
<p>Both portable targets are engineered to set up and dis-assemble withing 1 minute and are designed so no bolts are required ( we use a swagging or &#8220;crimping&#8221; method for a tight fit).<br />
They are as sturdy as a permanent, with 3/8ths&#8221; steel used for the entire base and the outside rings of the chain assembly and basket as well.<br />
In a recent ring of fire at our clubs ice bowl,, I saw 17 discs stay in the basket at once and the target barely even rocked.</p>
<p>The red/ white color combination makes it a very attractive basket for placing in a back yard, the chains are all hot dipped galvanized,,,not electro-plated.</p>
<p>The cost of the BullsEye is $239 and the Titan pro-24 portable $299,,, both would be about $25 to ship. ( the value of the 6 free discs is $72.00)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<pre>Everyone wants a new course and its easier than you think when you take the right</pre>
<pre>steps. Closing deals and getting a park/city/county to move forward on installing</pre>
<pre> a new course, often requires "speaking their language". Key power points like:</pre>
<pre> low  cost family recreation,</pre>
<pre>sustainable recreation,</pre>
<pre>prevention of obesity are direct and to the point and help allocate land/funds,</pre>
<pre>especially if the funds come from an existing grant or one they may want to write.</pre>
<pre>Rarely does a park have concerns about tournaments or leagues, but there are occasions</pre>
<pre>when it’s important as is the ability to generate revenue through admissions or disc sales.</pre>
<pre> Theres also a keep up with the Joneses mentality where its important that residents from their</pre>
<pre>community are not going to another city for recreation that can easily be created</pre>
<pre> and at a very low cost compared with any other park facility. It may also be</pre>
<pre>important for a city to have a course before a neighboring city,, city's are</pre>
<pre>very competitive with each other and for the low cost of a course and the ability</pre>
<pre>to use areas that cannot be used for other recreations,,,sometimes it just takes</pre>
<pre>a really good proposal in writing. Proposals that include free donations of any</pre>
<pre>equipment or labor get the attention of the higher ups, including the mayor.</pre>
<pre>Phone calls to park departments makes it too easy for one guy to say no, while</pre>
<pre>an official proposal in writing or given in front of a city council produces</pre>
<pre>many more course approvals.

Making parks/cities aware the hillsides and unused areas of the park are just</pre>
<pre>as good for disc golf as the well maintained park land that many parks already</pre>
<pre>have slated for passive areas or future developments. 

Our course design and installation contracts come with up to 300 FREE custom</pre>
<pre>stamped discs for the park/city/club to use as they see needed.
These can be sold as fund raisers to help off set the cost of a course or for</pre>
<pre>future course improvements. The FREE discs can also be given out at a grand</pre>
<pre>opening or a club launching event.

Gateway is NOW paying ADDATIONAL commission on leads that turn into course</pre>
<pre>contracts. This compensation will be 15-20% paid in merchandise and can be</pre>
<pre>great for disc golf clubs who can use the products to help grow disc golf</pre>
<pre>in their community or raise funds for benches or tee pads.

Most park dpeartments are in the middle of developing the 2012 budget,,,,,</pre>
<pre>Please don't hesitate to contact me personally to help get the ball rolling</pre>
<pre>for your towns NEW COURSE!!!!
