DISC GOLF BENEFIT TOURNAMENT Delaware State Park December First
Most of you know me. My youngest son is Lucas and he is 26 years old. Two weeks ago it was discovered that Lucas has a tumor on his left thigh. A biopsy was taken and it is an aggressive Lymphoma cancer. He is in stage two. He is able to work at this time but he is on a walker. The tumor has weakened the thigh bone and if it breaks they will have to amputate his leg. He starts chemo treatments November 4th. To help Lucas with his expenses there will be a benefit Disc golf tournament at the Delaware State Park course on December first. This is not a PDGA sanctioned tournament. Cash will be paid out to all divisions. As more information becomes available I will post it on the message boards. Call me with any questions. Hope to see you there.
$25.00 all divisions $15.00 to help Lucas $10.00 towards payout

I want to thank everyone who attended and helped at the benefit tournament this past weekend to help Lucas Alexander, a cancer victim, with his expenses. The Disc golf tournament raised a total of $1,684.00. There was a benefit concert that night that raised over $3,000.00 and a local company offered to match funds up to $2500.00 which means that we were able to participate in raising over $7,000.00 to help Lucas with his expenses. We had beautiful weather and 35 Disc golfers played two rounds of short tees at Delaware. There was a CTP for every card the first round. We had a raffle and many people donated items for it. There was a CTP and the closest five received a case of beer. We had live music in-between the rounds; a sister duo called the Lucky Penny Sisters. There was an ace thrown by Carl Chiles from West Carrollton. It was hole 12, it was his last hole on the first round and I got to see it because I was on his card. Disc Golf Mart provided Subway lunches for everyone. Did I mention that we raised $1,684.00?
I’m hesitant to try to name those who helped because I might not name someone. I will say that you golfers touched my heart. You showed love and compassion on someone you did not know. You only knew his dad (me). Many people who could not make it sent in donations. I offer a hearty thank you to one and all.
Here are the results. Brad Schick won the open division with an even 100 Mike Butsko had a 106 and Dan Mowka had a 109
Dan Smale won the pro masters with a 117 Ted Zadareky had a 119 and Pat Sullivan had a 120
Don Alexander won the advance masters with a 118 Bob Roberts had a 126 and Carl Chiles had a 126
Craig Fernandez and Damien Brown tied in the intermediate division with a 122 If I remember correctly, Damien won the play-off Bret Shoewalter had a 128
Tim Potter won the rec division with a 131 Mike Mason had a 132 and Scott Jenkins had a 133
