Arlington Disc Golf Assocaition Club Championships

[my_hero]

D'Oh!

[dryhistory]

bump, check out that date :cool:

[my_hero]

364 days after 9/11. :confused:

[hallp]

when is the next club championships?

[dryhistory]

i think we decided to hold it "the week after mr jims open" every year, so that way everyone will know when it takes place, so this year sept 27th. sound good?

[DOC65]

The weekend of the 27th is the Lewisville Open and Mr. Jims is the 13th and 14th.

That should make the Club Championship the weekend of the 20th. Bummer, I'll be at the UofA vs Alabama game in Arkansas. :(

[arlskipshot1]

Well this wasn't this difficult in the past, but I'm thinking we need to do it on Oct. 7th. Does anyone have a conflict with that date?

Isn't Oct. 7th on a Tuesday this year? :confused:

[my_hero]

Maybe that's why he asked if there were any conflicts. :D

[DOC65]

Oh, in that case I have some vacation time. :)

i think mace is doing skins that day for the final of his series, thats what cox23 said anyway

[my_hero]

Mace reserved the Tues? :D

[dryhistory]

im sorry, i thought we had all caught up with the rest of the class, i believe skip meant the first weekend in oct, which would be exactly one month before vpo :p

[DOC65]

im sorry, i thought we had all caught up with the rest of the class, i believe skip meant the first weekend in oct, which would be exactly one month before vpo :p



And that would be October 4th. So class dismissed. :p

[arlskipshot1]

Please excuse my oversight, my young Jedi. Looking at the wrong month I was. Oct. 4th would be the date I was wanting to suggest. Now I believe someone said Mace has something happening that day? What to do....what to do?

[gotcha]

What to do....what to do?



Schedule next year's event more than a month in advance? :)

[dryhistory]

What to do....what to do?



Schedule next year's event more than a month in advance? :)



we decided for the week after mr jims about 4 months ago, but a bunch of local tourneys kept popping up since then

[my_hero]

Bottom line = SEPT, OCT, NOV is super busy in TX. There's almost no way to schedule something without making someone disappointed.....even locally, much less state wide.

Sept and Oct DFW has Mr Jims Carrollton Open, DD Lewisville Open, NTX finale Skins, ADGA CC's, Mesquite Open, 2 ace races (Bear Creek, Cedar Hill), and a few i've probably left off.

[Big E]

What about december?

[arlskipshot1]

What about december?


The Club Championships have always been a huge contributer to the ADGA's sponsorship in the VPO. Without that $1k it will be alot tougher for us to pull off the event as we had been predicting. I'm not ready to pull back on guarantees yet, but we will have to reassess our plans. We are in much better shape this year, but we had been counting those eggs in our basket. Now I'm not sure what we can do. It's not so much finding a free day as it is asking good friends to cough up their $20 when there are so many other events they want to play also.
What to do....what to do?

[arlskipshot1]

$15 entry to a Wed. night game?
or... $20 to a Wed. night game with dinner supplied by Razoos?

[dryhistory]

thats interesting, i thought we should just do it the week after mr jims as planned, but i like the first wkend of oct also, im down for whatever. :cool:

I agree with the first week of October. We have made the decision to cancel our ace pot only for SANCTIONED local events. I think the same mentality holds for our Club Championships. This is, after all, the biggest event of the year dedicated to ADGA members only, and people will show up for it.

[arlskipshot1]

I would be disappointed if we had it at night. I love doing two rounds and ace golf with a day long party going on. Let's put out some feelers and see if Sunday the 5th would be okay.

[24460]

Mace says that his NTS finale will be on Oct. 11, 12.
October 5, sounds great to me.

[my_hero]

10-5 sounds great!! 10-4 sounds too walkie-talkie.

[arlskipshot1]

10-5 sounds great!! 10-4 sounds too walkie-talkie.



ten four good buddy Oct.5th let's do it

[willyc]

I think that I'm getting a haircut that day....what other day can we do it? :D

[gotcha]

Is there a 2008 ADGA membership form available? This (http://www.arlingtondiscgolf.com/) outdated 2007 membership form is all I could find on the arlingtondiscgolf web site. Even though I won't be able to attend the club championship, I would like to re-up my membership renewal via US mail. This might be a good time for someone to re-up the the ADGA web site, too...

[Big E]

Jerry the Club Champ is on Oct 5th!

I or someone else in the club will be getting that form updated soon. I'll have Pat put it on the web site as soon as it is done, and I will post a link here.

[arlskipshot1]

Sunday morning I announced that we would play 24 holes at the mini on the 12th. This was a mistake. I meant to say 21 holes because I just want to get feed back on the three "new" holes we will be playing in the VPO. It won't be neccessary to play old #s 1,2, and 9 since we're all familiar with those.
Club Championships are on the horizon. As always the Open winner will get a paid entry to the VPO in any div. he prefers and is qualified to play in. This promises to be a fun day on a Sunday so plan on being there Oct. 5th.

[sandalman]

is there a form yet? if nothing changes except the date, i can do that to the current file.

[arlskipshot1]

There will be a work day (morning) on Sat. Oct. 4th at 9:30 to check the sleeves on all the holes. This is very important for us to establish a format for the VPO. Even if you've never been able to get free for a work day, this will be the one time we really need you. After checking each hole we will be leaving the baskets in the short sleeves for the Club Championships the next day and till the VPO.

I don't know who has access to the PO Box, but it certainly isn't me. Check your PM for mailing info.

Anyone else who wants to renew by mail, let me know.

[killamgreg]

Hey ADGA. I would be there if I hadn't already committed to play Moody's that weekend. I would also like to renew via mail sir's. Thank you.

[my_hero]

I'll most likely miss my first ADGA CC's since 1996! :mad::mad::( :( :(

there will be a post workday fest at my place for all workers. i'll supply the food, a few ace-runnable holes. the pool can be open if its warm enuf. after helping spruce up VP, come on over and relax.

The City of Arlington now has a policy of a 45-day notice in order to obtain an alcohol permit. We did not make it in time to get the permit for the Club Championships, however, we will make this up to club members at a later date.

My main focus here, though, is to let you know that alcohol in the park the day of the Club Championships will absolutely not be tolerated. The city knows we will be there and they have informed me that they will likely send someone to check up on us more than once during the day. Anyone caught with alcohol on park grounds will be subject to a $500 fine. In addition, since my name is on the permit, I have been told I will also receive a citation if any member of our group is caught. I am telling you now, this WILL NOT happen.

I do not enjoy being a jerk about it, but I refuse to get a citation for this. Alcohol is not legal in the park in the first place, and we have looked the other way enough times. We will not look the other way when the city will be looking squarely at us.

I ask all of you, PLEASE do not make me be the bad guy. Police yourselves and I won't have to.

[my_hero]

What TD disallows the JUG O' RIGHTEOUSNESS? Do you realize how many headers have been credited to THE JUG? Kelly owns the record, 5 headers in one session of ace golf. OUCH! LOL.

J/K. Good call Greggles.

[gregbrowning]

I realized I forgot to mention how we will be making up for the kegless Club Championships. Skip and I discussed it, and we decided that we will have a club party for current members in conjunction with the round of night golf that we have been discussing. It will probably be late November or early December on a Saturday night. We will rent the small pavilion, tap the keg, have some beverages, and then head out with our LEDs and play a round in the dark.

As details get worked out, expect to hear more information about this from myself and Skip.

looks like we are going to have to postpone the club championships until november, we dont want a low turn out and there is zero chance that alcohol will not be brought regardless of greg's warnig, we shouldnt even do it without the permit

[/QUOTE]
This was a part of our discussion, David, and a huge problem is that the Club Champs. has always been the biggest single event to raise funds for the VPO. Without those funds we will be lucky to have a so so event much less a good one. The CC's bring in about $1400 and we spend about $300 to provide food and spirits for all to enjoy. We will still have lunch provided by Razoo's and crown our new champs including the Open club champ who will get a paid entry to the VPO.
We will then hold a round of night golf ( maybe two? :)) after the tournament and provide the keg for all current club members.
The CCs have always been the one time you can re-up for $10 and after that it is $15. This policy will remain unchanged.
No one is more disappointed than Greg ( or me ) and we can just beg for your understanding and support.
P.S. One of the most let down by this news was also the first to sign up for the CCs. Thanks Chazman....the Dark Knight cometh :cool:.

[arlskipshot1]

Also we'll say that between rounds you are welcome to pull over to the apartments or place of your choice and refresh yourself. If neccessary we can forgo the ace in the oaks till that night of the keg. One round of night golf and then some ace golf into the night.

[gregbrowning]

It's true, nobody is more disappointed about this than I am. However, we MUST hold the event prior to the VPO.

I understand your point, David, but let me put it another way. If people are happy about the direction the club is going, then I think they would be willing to lay off the sauce for one day. If they choose not to, and they get both me and themselves in trouble, then what is my motivation to keep busting my tail to keep the club going? I am asking people as a personal favor to cool it for one day.

And like Skip said, whatever people choose to do between rounds off park property is no business of mine, but while you are involved in an event with MY name on it, then I have a vested interest in seeing that people behave themselves.

Should someone choose to violate these rules, then that person will have to face consequences beyond the fine from the city. I have no qualms about disqualifying someone on the spot and banning them from any club events for as long as the officers of the club see fit. Don't forget--it's my butt you are putting on the line as well as your own. I would not do that to any of our club members, and all I ask is for the same respect in return.

[dryhistory]

i forgot about the fundraising for the vpo part of the equation, and Skip you certainly dont have to beg for my support, you'll always have it. as for myself i can and will remain beer free. my main concern was if there are issues with the cops that it could set the club back even further with the city, and i know we dont want that. so we just have to ask ourselves after looking the other way for so long will we have the fortitude to police ourselves this time. I hope so

[dryhistory]

that being said, who has walkie talkies, i have two, vigalance and communication, thats all im saying :D

[arlskipshot1]

Thanks Aunt Jemimah er I mean Pancakes I know we can count on you and it is appreciated.

Darn it ... I should have edited out the Aunt Jemimah part.

[dryhistory]

yeah, you really shouldnt be talking about my momma, even if you are dating her :D

For the record, when Skipper brainstormed the brilliant idea of the Club Championship as a VPO fundraiser/membership drive (1992 was the inaugural year), the club didn't acquire an alcohol permit back then....it was simply burgers, brats and sodas and everyone in participation had a great time! I believe it was like that for the next couple of years until somone looked into the alcohol permit option as well as renting the large pavilion near the front nine....er,....I mean north parking lot. :)

Thanks for all you do for the ADGA, Skip. I wish I could be there as the CC at the Vet is good time. :)

Jerry, I appreciate your support as always. You were a big part of it all here and we're proud of all you're doing up there.

The Club Championships will not be the same this year. If you don't know why, read this thread from page 4 on.

Tomorrow is the work day, see everyone sunday for the championships, show up early so you have time to fill out the form. and dont forget your canned food items.

Anybody ever thought about posting what time this whole ordeal was going down ????

I got a pm from a certain member , whom will remain nameless , coughcoughwaffleironcoughcough , begging relentlessly for the opportunity to play with the fabled DISCBOOMER .....

I am actually pulling my head out of my arse long enough to come play some disc golf with a group of the finest individuals in the metroplex..

I know most of you will be overwhelmed with this news , and I can assure a Q & A scession with punch and pie.. Perhaps time for an autograph or two, and a raffle for a Polaroid with " The Discboomer "

Looking forward to Sunday

The canned goods are for a food drive for the Tarrant Area Food Bank.

[okcacehole]

[AnotherSteve]

And the Winners Are?

[24460]

Hero is this years champion. All baskets in short pins and he wins it with a total of -4 for the day.

[arlskipshot1]

It was a fun day on Sunday with lots of wind and two new virgin sleeves played for the first time today. With a ban on beer by order of the city, we wondered if the response would be enough to help the VPO, and it was a great showing and alot of thanks coming to all the players today. It just goes to show that you don't need alot of beer to have your way with Covalt.It couldn't have beer any sweeter, Dave.
As for the champions for 2009 :
Open champ was a fight with Jimmy Mahon leading by two over Michael Brownlow after the first round. In the second round John My European Hero was duking it out with Brice Longestbone on the second card and on the last hole, the revised #1, Brice double bogied the par 4 hole while John birdied and that won him the title for I believe the fourth time.

John Miauro - Open Champion
Juli Steele - Pro Wmn's Champ.
Charles Cox - Masters Champ.
Kevin Geesa - Grand Masters Champ. ( incumbent )
Freeman Prasse - Sr. Gr. Mstrs. Champ. ( incumbent )
Dalton Seabolt - Advanced Champ. ( tied Maiuro at -4 on the day )
Stephanie Cantrell - Adv. Wmn. Champ. ( incumbent )
Don Nelson - Adv. Masters Champ.

I guess i want to begin by congratulating the club officers and the entire body of the Arlington Disc Golf Association. What a great group of people to share a wonderful past time with. A hat tip to you all.

Was that some wind or what? Windy conditions like that at The Vet = Crazy Golf! Today's win was hardly earned soley by me. I think it was more of a matter of several people losing the lead than one person winning.

I'd like to know how many different players actually *had* the lead at one point or another. Had to be 4 or 5. I know that I was on the second card after the first round and Brice had me by 1 stroke overall going into our last hole......the newly lengthened #1. His second shot got away from him(OB) and it cost him the championship.....of course we didn't know that until we discussed the other scores with the other groups. I still have a hard time believing that a -4 bogey free 2nd round jumped me to 1st.

Best part of the day for me was seeing Skipper's face when Greg Browning gave him a LIFETIME membership to the ADGA! Nobody deserves it more than you Skip....don't forget that!

Congrats to Greg Browning on becoming this year's ADGA Member of the Year. You, my friend, are very deserving of that award. Thank you Greggles!

Skip, i have to correct you on one thing....this was my 5th CC victory. I have the Skip Maxwell handcrafted trophies for years 2000, 2001, 2003, and 2005....and if there's a trophy for this year it will be added to the line-up. :D

I'll conclude with a HUGE thanks to my wife Amy, and my kids....without them i wouldn't be the person i am today.(for whatever that's worth :D) Thanks to my sponsors Par72discgolf.com and to DISCRAFT for their years of support.

Congrats to all of the champs.

I love you all.

[BrandonYoung]

Way to go to the co-club champion Dalton Seabolt, who shot the most consistant with two rounds at two under.

[gotcha]

Congratulations, John! Now.....get back to work! :)

[my_hero]

I'm also really glad you played ADV, as i was too tired for any type of playoff...even coin flip. :D

It would have been alright, John, cause the "type" of playoff I would have required was a typing playoff for the whole enchilada aka The Chapionship. ;)

[gregbrowning]

I want to say thank you to everyone who renewed their memberships, whether you were able to play the Club Championships or not.

Thanks to everyone who attended yesterday. I was honored and am very grateful for the distinction of being Member of the Year. You guys always remind me of why I keep doing this. The ADGA is truly an outstanding group of folks

There are many individual thanks that need to go out, and I am sure I will miss some. The crew that showed up for the workday Saturday: Skip, Keith, Jimmy, Matt , Red, Tracy, Richard, David, Pat, Charles, Brian, and the others whose names are slipping my mind at this time.

Many thanks to Skip and Clay for their invaluable advice in helping me get on my feet and get the ADGA back to where it is today.

[DOC65]

I'm sorry I missed this one. Couldn't quite make it back from Arkansas in time. :(

John, interesting that you and Dalton shot the same score. I remember asking Pat this very question during the first CC that I played in. What happens if someone from another division shoots the lowest score? And he said they just win that division and that the club champion can only come from the open division.

Isn't that a flawed system? Why isn't the overall champion determined by the one that shoots the lowest score? If all divisions are playing the same set of tees and pins then it should all come down to whoever shoots the lowest score.

Needless to say this has really puzzled me in regards to disc golf. I've played in many ball golf club championships where there is always an overall champion (determined by the lowest gross score) and then the division champions. And in many cases I've seen the overall champion come from the 1st or 2nd flights rather than the championship flight.

Especially at Tenison park that used to have one of the strongest clubs in the nation. One year there were 19 players with +1 or better handicaps in the championship flight, 19 players in the 1st flight with 0 or scratch handicaps and then another 18 in the 2nd flight that were -1 to -2. And there ended up being a playoff between players from the 1st and 2nd flights to declare the overall champion.

Now I understand that in many cases the overall champ is going to come out of the strongest division. And in disc golf that is going to be the open division. But to say that only an open player can be declared the overall champion just seems a little wrong IMHO. :confused:

[my_hero]

For one, the pressure is highest at the highest level of play. Two, if you want to play with the big dogs you cant peeeeeee like a puppy. :DLOL :D

Greggles, get me that art!

[DOC65]

For one, the pressure is highest at the highest level of play.



I might agree only for the top card though. If your coming up from behind on a lower card then that doesn't always come into play. Unless your whole card gets hot. There is always less pressure for those on the 2nd cards or lower because they have nothing too loose and everything to gain.

[my_hero]

That's not true at all. I have played on 2nd, and 3rd cards with Kenny, Barry, Doss, Cam Todd, Ron Russell(all world champs) and the likes of many others where the pressure is more than one could imagine. Of course the more times you put yourself on cards with them the less the pressure gets to you.

[DOC65]

Unfortunately a club championship doesn't have as many of the Doss's, Kenny's and Barry's of the sport to induce that sort of pressure that far down the field. :(

So I guess I'm the only one that doesn't get the logic in declaring an overall winner simply based on division rather than overall score? Maybe it's just a, "That's the way it is...", sort of deal and no one has ever questioned it? :confused:

Oh and I do think that as the sport grows and more of the Dalton's of our area start to get really interested and improving we stand a good chance of seeing this happen again.

[dryhistory]

I think Dons right, we should have had them playoff for the vpo entrance fee that was given up, **** heroes, always taking advantage of the little childrens. pfft

[my_hero]

I've always wondered why anyone would play in any division other than Open at the CC's. It's the ONLY division with a prize.

....and for the record, i sure didn't golf like any of the big dogs i mentioned. But a 10 foot putt feels like a 40 foot putt when Kenny is 6 feet behind you. :D

[DOC65]

What prize? I thought it was all about raising money for the VPO and then the bragging rights. So I'm :confused: again...

[my_hero]

The OPEN champ gets a free ride into the VPO ($100).

[DOC65]

Yea, I found, "As always the Open winner will get a paid entry to the VPO in any div. he prefers and is qualified to play in.", in Skips post above.

But the overall club champions bragging rights have an asterisk for this year... ;)

[dryhistory]

im going to make bagtags for everyone, just like the old school ones that havent been done since ive been around. i noticed at the bottom they list achievements, like 2008 member of the year, 5x open club champion etc.

do we have records for who was club champ in each division in years past?

i need list of past members of the years.

and any of your suggestions

and a really good laminating machine if possible, uh hum claydog :D

What's up Doc....so the concept is lacking to you? If anyone thinks they might could hang with the big boys at the VPO, then by all means go for it. By going to the lesser division one is admitting they're not of that calibur. Playing in a lessor div. allows some of us to compete to be the club champ for the div. for the next year. Your name is posted on the kiosk and your club bag tag will also note your title. I would be proud to have it. :p
Someday, maybe, when we have more assets to work with, we will award an entry for a few more of the champs. For now, though, John My "yours and our" Hero is our Club Champion for the fifth year. Congrats John...it's an honor to have you as our rep. :)
P.S.
As for you, Don, going up to Arkansas to visit your ex-wife and cousin ( both are the same girl ) on her 14th birthday was the wrong priority. You should have been here making merry with us!!!! :D

[DOC65]

Unfortunately I didn't get to see any kissing cousins. But I did get to visit my Daughter and watch the Hogs get beat up on by Florida. Man I'm glad I'm an OU fan, BOOMER SOONER!!! :D

Hero is definitely a worthy representative of the ADGA.

It's just that coming from the ball golf side of this type of sport I'm used to low score wins regardless of the classification of the person who shoots it. But it's Disc Golf and things are different so I'll get used to it...someday...maybe...if you give me time...well maybe not. Old dog set in his way I guess. :)

[dryhistory]

ha ha thats funny, fellow sooner fan and guy named Don won advanced master.

[BrandonYoung]

Yeah, I was unaware that there was only one prize to be had, until after the first round and I know there was a few others. I dont understand as to why, if there is just one prize, wasnt there just one division. It just makes sense, if there is just one prize and we are only raising money for the VPO, which is a good thing, why we all didnt just sign up as one group. I was just misinformed, I guess. Also, I always thought that you played better with better players, so, you better be lucky Dalton wasnt playing with the open players, because he might of smoked them. All just one mans opinion.

[arlskipshot1]

I say again....

P.S.
Don, I've been an avid golf fan since '68 and I believe they do the same thing we're doing when they hold their championships according to handicap. If you sign up to play in the scratch div. you are playing with the best, but if you play in the 10 handicap div. you aren't competing to take the scratch title even if you do have the best round of your life and beat their winner.

In two years I'll get my shot to take the Sr. Gr. Master title away from Freeman. I'll be ready for him too. :p :cool:

Not true and it really depends on the strength of the club. And there has only been one club that I've been a member of that has been strong enough for this to come into play. And that was Tenison park in Dallas. And I played in at least 2 to 3 different clubs a year in Oklahoma and Texas from 1985 to 2007 when I started playing disc golf again.

Several years ago, I want to say 2001 or maybe earlier, the Tenison club championship had 7 flights with well over 100 players. The first flight or championship flight was made up of players with handicaps of +1 or better, the 2nd flight was made up of players with scratch or zero as their handicap, 3rd flight was -1 and -2's, 4th was something light -3 to -6, etc... It was like playing in a state wide tournament that most states only wish they could field. And I've played in some of those that were not near this strong.

There was a champion in each flight and 1 overall winner declared champion of the club. Any flight was eligible to be the overall winner which is based on gross score only no handicaps.

And that particular year there was a play off between two players from the 2nd and 3rd flights. And the winner of the playoff was declared the overall champion who had their named engraved on the club trophy and their picture in the Dallas Morning News. And the player who finished 2nd to him in his particular flight was declared the champion in that flight.

They do the same thing for the Dallas City Championship which is also played out of Tenison and flighted by handicaps in order to get more players involved.

Other clubs I've been played in don't bother to have flights they just pay out based on gross and net scores and declare club champions based on the lowest gross score and net score.

[my_hero]

A club champion b/c of a handicap? Lame. Once you cross Tarrant county's line things get strange. :D

Only when there are two club champsions. One for the gross or scratch division and one for the net division. And it has nothing to do with county lines. That's actually the majority rule across the nation at almost all clubs private and public.

You could compare it to having a Pro and Am winner in disc golf if it were done that way.

[my_hero]

Just fueling the fire. You should know that. We(the ADGA) still love your Okie Ace! (I'd use another word if i were to post this a month from now) :D

[DOC65]

Yea, and I'm one sad Okie this week. :( Can you say shock and awe???

[arlskipshot1]

John Maiuro is our champion.
The pressure of playing in that first flight made for a different strategy...one a little more conservative than the 6 handicapper that had the best day of his life and was able to play a more daring strategy with that 6-9 stroke cushion.
We've always done it this way Don, and this is the first time we've had any conflict. We had already stated that with the progress of the club that maybe in the near future we will try to offer a couple more divisions an entry.

More like hook em' horns!

[discgolfdog]

Not that it matters, but I have always been against giving only the pro division winner entry to the VPO. I always thought it should be every division or none. I pretty much voiced my opinion every C.C. Terry was the only one I really bagged on about it, but there wasn't much he could do about it, any more than I could last year.

No worries on my part Skipper. I just wanted to point out that there are precedence for other options if the situation comes up again.

And just to be clear I've never seen any one with less than a 1 or maybe a 2 handicap win a club championship by shooting the lowest gross score. So saying a 6 handicap having a career day is not a point I was ever trying to make. But an up and coming advanced am does have a very good chance of shooting as well or better than a pro under the right conditions.

[dryhistory]

especially when that pro is an OLD man :D

[my_hero]

I might need Don's Handicap system to win one from here on out. :D
