GGPDGC CLOSED — RE-OPENING PLANNING IS IN PROGRESS

March 16, 2020 in Announcements, Club Communications, Club Information, Events, The Course

GGP DISC GOLF COURSE CLOSED

06/10 UPDATE: RE-OPENING PLANNING IS IN PROGRESS

I would like everyone to know that I met with SFR&P and Park Rangers yesterday at GGPDGC. We have been in discussions for a couple weeks now but as you can imagine, things do not move all that quickly. They have a LOT on their plate so your SFDGC officers are doing everything that we can to facilitate the process. In short, we are actively working on a plan for re-opening.
Per City of SF regulations, the facility must have an approved plan in place in addition to signage that will communicate any safety measures and protocols that are needed to minimize the risk of transmission of COVID-19 at the facility. This is the same process that any other recreational facility or business must go through in order to operate in the context of the ongoing pandemic.
I apologize for the long period of uncertainty but based on our interactions yesterday, our relationship with SFR&P is excellent and we need to ensure that we keep it that way. The course is city property. It’s that simple.
On behalf of the SFDGC and SFR&P, I would like to THANK EVERYONE who has remained patient during these difficult times. None of this has been easy but we will get through to the other side and will be stronger and more resilient because of this experience.
The next communication will be to outline the safety measures and protocols that will be put in place for playing disc golf at GGPDGC.

SFDGC President
===========================================
May 29th Update:
We have received word from SFR&P that they are working on a plan for re-opening Golden Gate Park Disc Golf Course!
While we do not have a date, we wanted to pass along this good news.
SFR&P also wanted us to thank everyone who has NOT BEEN PLAYING for being so patient and supportive to this point. It has been one less problem that they’ve had to deal with while doing their best to keep the vast majority of the park available for people to enjoy.
Given the update to the City of San Francisco’s regulations on face coverings, we are fully expecting them to be required while you are in the park including while playing disc golf. If you don’t already have a well fitting, light weight face covering, now is the time to acquire one or three.
We would also like to re-iterate how proud we am of our disc golf club and extended community. You are all rock-stars!

03.24.2020 UPDATE: The baskets have been pulled and will not be reinstalled until the city of San Francisco and SFR&P give us permission to do so. Thank you for your patience and understanding during these very difficult times.

All,
I received an email from SFR&P this evening regarding the shelter in place ordinance issued by the city of San Francisco today, March 16th.
“Dear Park Partners
Today in response to the COVID-19 crisis and to contain the spread of the virus, the City of San Francisco issued an order to shut down all nonessential business and activities until April 7, 2020. In order to ensure compliance please cease your operations until at least April 7, 2020;“
From the city ordinance (LINK):
“This order begins at 12:01 a.m. on March 17, 2020 and will continue for three weeks through April 7, 2020, subject to the limited exceptions and under the terms and conditions more particularly set forth below.“
I understand this will come as a shock and disappointment to many. We are all hoping that this comes to pass and we are able to open again and enjoy our favorite activity with our favorite people soon.
Please stay safe and take care of each other…from a distance. We are stronger than this damn virus!
Shawn Mercy
SFDGC President

COVID-19: SFDGC Events (03-14-2020)

March 14, 2020 in Announcements, Club Communications, Club Information, Events

COVID-19: SFDGC Events Postponed / On Hiatus Until Further Notice (03-14-2020)

Hi Everyone,

Out of an abundance of caution and in response to the City of San Francisco moratorium on gatherings of 100 or more people (through April 30th), we have come to the following decisions regarding our weekly events and the Birthday Bash.

Sunday Singles / Tuesday Doubles On Hiatus

We are putting these club sanctioned events on hiatus until further notice. We have come to this decision after much deliberation and exploration of various substantial mitigation efforts over the past 36 hours. While we can certainly reduce the chance of transmission during one of our events, we cannot be sure how effective those efforts would be.

As such, we have come to the conclusion that we need to take this somewhat drastic action to do our part in preventing the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which can cause COVID-19 disease.

To be clear, we are not saying you cannot play disc golf in Golden Gate Park. That is up to each individual. However, if you do decide to venture out and play disc golf, please take every precaution possible to eliminate the chance of spreading the virus. In addition to the precautions we urged in our last communication, here are some additions:

  • Only handle your own discs and all other personal items
  • Do not pass a paper scorecard around — this is a great time to start using UDisc!
  • Enforce social distancing of at least 6 feet between yourself and others

We will monitor and re-evaluate this decision in an ongoing manner with the goal of ending the hiatus as soon as reasonably possible — hopefully well before April 30th!

13th Birthday Bash is Postponed

For the same reasons given above, Sean Jack and the club officers have decided to postpone the 13th Birthday Bash to a future unknown date (previously scheduled for March 28th).

Here are a few additional key points regarding how we are handling the postponement:

  • We will proactively refund everyone their registration fees and addons ASAP
  • All current registrants will have the first opportunity to re-register once a new date is set (multi-tiered registration)
  • We have cancelled the disc and shirt orders

We hope everyone understands that these decisions were not taken lightly. Disc golf competition and social interaction are a big part of many of our lives and we know that losing any of that for the time being does not feel good.

If you have any questions, please respond below or email us at sanfranciscodiscgolfclub ( at ) gmail.com

Warm Regards,
Shawn Mercy
Chris Tirrell
Steve Erle
Harper Alexander

The 12th Annual SFDGC Bag Tag Challenge was held on January 11th & 12th, 2019.

Variable weather on Friday gave way to clear skies on Saturday — perfect weather for a great party and record turnout!

There are so many people to thank that I know I’m going to miss someone. It takes a village to put on an event like this and I wouldn’t trade SFDGC village for any other! Thanks so much to everyone who pitched in, Andy Rothschild and I (Shawn Mercy), couldn’t have done it without you!

TD: Shawn Mercy

Assistant TD: Andy Rothschild

We had a record 245 players complete the challenge! Thanks to Andy, you can view the results in all their statistical hole-by-hole glory, here.

So many happy faces, a dazed panda, and a streaking Marco (thankfully with clothes on!)

The 11th Annual SFDGC Bag Tag Challenge was held on January 12th & 13th, 2018.

The weather was great and the course was in fantastic shape due to the hard work of the Beautification Project and the SFDGC! Many thanks to all of the volunteers who helped make this event an amazing experience.

That being said, I’d like to thank a BUNCH of people for stepping up:

  • Matt Neiman for doing anything asked of him, which was a lot!
  • Andy Rothschild and Cory Murrell for helping out ALL day on Friday
  • Nick Noreña and Brent Allard for running registration on Saturday
  • Patrick Brown and the BP for getting the course in perfect condition
  • Todd Kurnat for his beautiful artwork used on the tags and discs
  • Viento Nieto for bringing out his grill and making sure we were well fed
  • Sean Saxton for taking over the grill for most of the afternoon
  • Jon Toby for getting the permit and so many other things
  • Steve Erle for taking care of many payments, reimbursements, etc…
  • Sean Pierson for handling disc sales all day on Saturday
  • Jeannie Pierson for keeping Sean in line and taking care of the rest of us
  • Erica Norton and Nick Noreña for handling the scores and data entry
  • Marco Benites for helping with the layout and scorecard design
  • Jesse Kerfeld for getting the scorecards printed
  • Rob Levander for helping JT make sure we had plenty of food and drinks
  • Les Swift for making sure PB had materials needed to repair the net on 18
  • Roger Crain for helping me set up on Friday AM, before heading to work
  • Will Borger, Jacob Sanderson, Luke Walton, Andy Hale, Jerry Showman, Mike Infusino and many others for helping with course set-up and break-down both days.
  • Sean Jack for letting us use his gear
  • Innova Champion Discs for getting our disc order filled in record time as well as donating a new canopy and 2 feather banners (made great mandatory markers)
  • To anyone I forgot, I apologize and thank you!

Now for the results…

A total of 232 players signed up for the BTC (97 Friday / 135 Saturday), with 230 completing the challenge!

As of  01/22, we had an additional 37 memberships for a total of 269 members. For comparison, in 2017, 220 players completed the BTC and 247 members had joined through the end of January.

Our goal for 2018 is 400+ memberships. We are certainly off to a great start.

We really appreciate your support!
