Did you used to be on our email list and suddenly haven't gotten email for months?  We had a glitch and it caused many people to get unsubscribed; unfortunately Tina doesn't have a way of knowing who all we lost.  Please use "Linux mailing list" on the left to get yourself re-added, sorry!

Don't worry if you're not familiar with disc golf, we have all skill ranges and some discs to loan out if you don't have your own.
