[md21954]

i just need to be back in bawlmer by 12:30.

pine grove at 10? pawtapsco at 10? your choice.

[md21954]

it is a lucha libre enmascarado. it gives me special powers on the dgc.

[hawkgammon]

If for some reason I lose, and am short on singles, can I offer up Paul recreating the pose in his avatar as payment?

Paul,

I'll go for Patapsco at 1000, but I'll probably be cranky!

[md21954]

I'll go for Patapsco at 1000, but I'll probably be cranky!



not as cranky as you will be after i mop the floor w/ you :D

pro or am tees?

[Dick]

it looks more like a super buddha than mils mascaras

[hawkgammon]

Well we should play the reds for Patapsco Open practice next month since that's what AM's play, but Rich says that's sissy. :o

[Dick]

i think i may play rockburn saturday. after getting no sleep last night i probably can't make 10am anyway. i need some sleep in time. when is the md game on?

[Sharky]

5:40
Where are we playing today?

5:40 ??? 3:30ish @ THE ROCK. Who's playing Where Saturday ? Patapsco ???

Saturday-Patapsco-Special Early 1000 Kick-Off: Blue Tees

[Dick]

ok, i figured out that avatar stuff. got one that will kick paul's luchidore butt! let's see if anyone can figure out what it is...

[hawkgammon]

Obviously it's Lindsay! :)

[discgeez]

Patty Hearst.

[Dick]

yeah, looks like she's kind of mad at ski! it's a wonder if he has ever gotten any in his whole life. not much with the lady skills!

[girlie]

Hmmm, a pretty lady who is wanted and will kick Paul's butt...

You hit the nail on the head Hawkster - It MUST be me! :D

[hawkgammon]

Of course. Remember I'm a professionally trained investigator!

[Dick]

well see if you can really figure out who my avatar is then!

<font color="blue">GLEN WINS YET ANOTHER TOUR STOP! CAN ANYONE STOP THIS MAN??? </font>

<font color="green">Sherwood Finishes Second. Misses Eight Foot Putt! </font>

Four of us played an early round at Patapsco this morning from the blues. Scores were:

Glen-60
Shark-62
Paul-63
Hawk-71 :eek:

We started on #1 and Paul got worried early as my long approach kicked off a tree and landed 10 feet from the basket for a three. Things went down hill for me from there. Glen started with a four on #1 and then took a six on #2 :eek: Glen may have been unnerved by a lumbering figure approaching us from the ballfield as we played #2. First guess was Bigfoot, but it turned out to be Tom Paxton, who ignored us and went about his business. An interesting awkward moment. :) Glen did deuce #8. Shark won the front shooting a 29 with Glen one back, Paul four back, and me last shooting a smoking 39! :oFive fives will do that to you. I accomplished the rare back to back circle holes by getting caught in the tree on #3, and then landing perfectly in the center of the road on #4. The new Pro Aviar is nice, and the Gator sucks! :o

The back nine was a little more competitive after I retired the midranges, and the wind picked up. Shark hit a bit of a rough patch on the back nine with a five on #11 and then fouring #'s 13, 14, 15 & 17. Glen was consistent putting together a bunch of threes, and deucing #12 after taking a five on #11. He also went into the valley on #17 taking a five. Paul missed the mando on #13 but managed a four. The back nine saw Paul and Glen tied with 30's, me with a 32, and The Professor with a 33. Shark also explained what Rich's avatar is, and also what a nassau is. Always a learning experience! :)

As we were leaving the park, Paul stopped me, and told me his, "check engine light had just come on." Hmmmmmmmmmm... Perhaps another no show for Mr. Druid at 3:45. He has all my numbers though, so we'll get him to Sherando one way or another, even if it's tied up on the hood of Rich's carryall.

Nice right up Hawk. I'd give my blow by blow of what or who went down yesterday but the sleep depervation is kicking my tail. I will say that my face resembles a ripe tomato having spent ALL day on the course(s). Two rounds @ druid,where i shined logging dueces on 4,1 and 3 :D:D :D(after a practice round hans SOLO). Then it was off to the "Mill Stream" for nurishment/ Adult Entertainment. Might i add that i haven't had wings that good, well they where 3 thumbs up :oSo then BB and i decided to get a round in @ the Rock, where i unserimoniously beat "the man" on his own course :eek: :cool::D:p /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif by several strokes...No details to follow.

[mdgnome]

Hey Paul,
I can't remember what the stamp was(parks and people maybe)but i did find a disc of yours on 10 at The Rock!
Jesse has it now.

[md21954]

thanks for getting that dj. are you still bleeding? that was deep back there in the briars if i recall correctly. i owe you one.

[Dick]

Am tour action after a work day at patapsco this saturday? we really could use your truck to gather sticks and/or move crush hawk!

[Dick]

Here is the OK i got from the Park Manager:
>Richard,
This Saturday (27th) is the opening day of Tout Season, therefore the park will be crawling (or swimming) with fisherman and my staff will be unable to assist your work party. I will be here to meet you and complete the required forms. I plan to stay with your group as long as I can. As far as vehicles go we have a new gator and a 4x4 pick up truck that can be used off road. Chain saws are fine to use on down trees only (no standing trees can be cut). I will try to have our staff cut up the tree on #17 prior to Saturday. Additionally in my meeting with Lindsay I discussed the need of volunteers throughout the area not just the disk golf course. There are many limbs and trees down and we would appreciate the help in clearing them. Lets plan on meeting at the Ranger Office at 9 AM on Sat.
Thanks,
Jerry

Everyone who can help meet at 9am at the front gate to sign in. Latecomers, track us down on the course or call my cell(202-641-6703) Lunch will be on me!

[mdgnome]

Paul,
Lets just say that besides me and possibly a REALLY stupid deer,that was unchartered territory!!
I had to go in though.....fore it was my first and only roller disc! :D

[hawkgammon]

Rich,

That's not going to be happening for me. As I told you this past weekend, no workdays for me the weekend before a tourney. I learned my lesson at Rockburn about effort vs. recovery time etc. Also I'm not interested in cleaning up the whole park as Ranger Jerry is looking to rope us into.

[md21954]

sorry. i can't make it either. won't be playing saturday at all probably :mad: i'm replacing the ceiling in my upstairs bathroom because of a roof leak (roof recently repaired).

the end of bachelordom is nigh

[md21954]

i can help/play sunday though. toour stop?

and hawk, you mongoloid, there are two weeks until the patapsco tourney. oh... i forgot you're playing bluemont and you're old.

[Dick]

we're not 'clearing the whole park' this weekend, but i am going to work with him myself to help out clearing some other down trees. i think the goodwill alone is worth it, plus he is going to let us us his equipment, so eventually i might be able to work my way into enough trust to use their mower. who knows. also i have a friend who likes to stock up on wood, so i'll probably take him as long as we can remove as much as he wants to take home for splitting.

[hawkgammon]

I know this is hindsight, but we should have worked on tuning Patapsco up the weekend we did Rockburn. There obviously is a tourney coming up at Patapsco, while Rockburn is a recreational situation until your party in the fall. Due to the lack of participation these efforts normally garner, starting early is clearly better than waiting for the traditional weekend before.

[Dick]

yeah, i know. but this isn't actually the 'weekend before' , it's 2 weeks before! ;)
and it shouldn't be too hard or long of a work day. mostly frshen the tee pads, clear sticks and stuff from the fairways into the gator, and haul that tree out of 17. i expect we'll have plenty of time for a round after. then we can work on it a day or two in the time before the picnic.
on another note, Jim is interested in trying out Paul's flypad tee idea, and he is going to see reese this week when he's down there and ask if we could get one to try out and see how it works. if it works well, i would guess we could convert all the pads into much lower maintenance flypads on crush boxes. Paul if you can get any more info or tips on how they were made, it would be a big help.

[hawkgammon]

While it is two weeks before the Open, as the Mexican wrestling sensation pointed out, I am playing in VA the following weekend. I know how dead Matt and I were after dealing with 15 of the Rocks tees, and Patapsco has 36. I've done the Patapsco tees before, so I know the toll that will take.

[girlie]

It's a good thing that Bluemont is limited to a field of 45 which should leave many other willing and able bodies to come help out at Patapsco :).

Thanks to all those who volunteer their time and energy to the maintenance of our beautiful MD courses!

:cool:

[md21954]

http://www.fly18.com/pads.htm

i've seen the same type pad w/ 'innova' marked on it, so maybe jim would have an in w/ them.

the ones at castle hayne had a frame built out of 4x4s stacked on top of each other 2 deep. the frame had about 1' extra on the long ends and 6'' on the sides so there was excess space past and before the rubber pads. the frame was then filled with crushed stone. i imagine larger stone was on the bottom for drainage and smaller stone was on the top to smooth it out. the 'flypad' placed on top, a very flat surface.

these are the best non-permanent pads i've ever played on (even better than some concrete pads i've played). i've played on these in terrential down pours and they were still tacky as can be. best of all, they are easily moved compared to concrete and, if installed properly, are certainly not an eyesore.

[Dick]

bluemont is 4/3 , not this weekend. the only thing going on this weekend is tockwaugh.

[imapackerfan]

Tockwogh... AND the Virginia Team Invitational. Tons of people will be heading south for the weekend, and I am one of them. Sorry I won't be able to help! :(

[hawkgammon]

Yes I know, so no workday this weekend since I play the following weekend.

Has Jim talked to the park about changing the tees, or does he simply like the idea himself?

[girlie]

to quote Hawk...


As I told you this past weekend, no workdays for me the weekend before a tourney

[hawkgammon]

At least the dancing pixie can grasp the concept! :D

Bored Review 3-23-04


By Mark S on Tuesday, March 23, 2004 - 02:16 pm:


GEEZE, are you his agent ?? yeah nice ace on a 140 foot hole kudos neil's the man etc. etc.
OK, I am bitter as I have no 2004 aces





Thank you Mark for representing! ;)

[Dick]

so working the week before a tournament is why you lost to paul? you sure it wasn't because you sucked? /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
i know, that's your story and you're sticking to it...IF Tom and I are the only ones there than that's the way it goes. won't be the first time. Hopefully some of the guys who like patapsco will be able to find some time along the way to contribute before the picnic in july. even if it is only to clean up sticks on one hole while playing a round....
Jim hasn't floated it with the park, but i think we are going to ask them if we can build a sample tee to show them. jim is going to ask the guy this week about if we can get a test flypad.

[hawkgammon]

No we worked at Rockburn two weeks ago. But I know how cramped my hands were after tamping 18 teepads, and how stiff my back was after shoveling three trucks loads of crush that it took about a week to get right again, and I'm not going to VA with that narrow a recovery window. If you guys want help, then you need to organize these things in conjunction with those that are likely to show up, instead of just throwing dates out there. This reminds me of another group that makes inconvenient unilateral decisions. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[md21954]

i'll try to get out there sunday, or even next weekend. maybe you guys can leave something that doesn't require any equipment (like moving the fallen limbs on 8) when you're done. there are a lot of conflicting events this weekend and i'm sure i can talk at least 1 or 2 folks into helping out later on.

hawk... i don't think work at paultapsco is going to be as intense as at the rock. if you show up, limit yourself to light stuff. you could use the course karma :D

[girlie]

I'm not playing Bluemont, so I will go to Patapsco on 4/3 to run a clean up the fairways doubles event. Haul away the sticks & debris while you play :)...

Keep your eyes peeled for more info on this exciting MD Tour Special Volunteer Event!

[md21954]

i'll help 4/3 also.

[Chris Hysell]

Can I get a little help? You people please be nice to Lindsay on 4/3 and help her out. The last thing I want to do is deal with her later that night if she is bitchy.

[Chris Hysell]

But, if you guys do everything she asks, will she expect the same from me? Either way, I'm in big trouble.

[md21954]

helping lindsay out doesn't necessarily mean being nice to her. at least we know she won't be paired w/ hawk during doubles, that might have sent her over the top /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

I'm sorry, as a die hard Marylander...I'm going to Virginia to play and I'm NOT helping girlie. she helps herself just fine.

[girlie]

You are excused from service for this instance only, MS. :D

I just need some more casual practice to learn Bluemont before I attempt a tourney there - I've only been 2x but I plan on changing that this year!

Oh, and for all you folks out there who haven't tried it yet... I know you're longing for one... I know you've heard the buzz... Well, NOW IS THE TIME! Don't wait any longer!

That's right - Support the WVO and BUY A MINI (http://www.westvirginiaopen.com/sponsorship1.htm)!

:cool:

I love WVO hoes!

[hawkgammon]

<font color="yellow">I'm not playing Bluemont, </font>



Clearly after the thrashing she took at Sherando, Lindsay is ducking out of the Tour's next VA swing! :) I myself have only played Bluemont once, but am going to walk into the fire. Apparently Linds is trying to protect her rating! ;)

[Chris Hysell]

Being a friend of Lindsay, I will offer to take up her slack. How about some sort of side bet there Mr. Big Talk? Care to play against a man? :D

[md21954]

Clearly after the thrashing she took at Sherando, Lindsay is ducking out of the Tour's next VA swing! :) I myself have only played Bluemont once, but am going to walk into the fire. Apparently Linds is trying to protect her rating! ;)



:o:eek: :obreaking news!!! unable to talk smack w/ md21954, hawkgammon resorts to picking on a 752 rated girlie! :eek: :o:eek:

two tourneys for me in '04 at two courses i haven't played before, and two 5th place finishes. every round above my paul-try rating. can't wait to leave that 839 in the dust at paultapsco.

[hawkgammon]

Well Paul you already indicated your cowardness at not coming to Bluemont.


I'm ignoring Hysell simply so I won't contribute to his post count. :D

[md21954]

Well Paul you already indicated your cowardness at not coming to Bluemont.



that'd be cowardice, mongo :D

why on earth would i be afraid of beating you yet again?

[girlie]

Oh Hawk!

If I was trying to protect my rating, I would have DNF'd that second round at Sherando. :D

But I do seem to remember shooting a 74 the first round compared to your 72. :eek: And as it is my cross to bear (the ever improving player with a lagging rating /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif) after the first round you declared that you would no longer apply the handicap formula for our $1 bets... which brought me fondly back to that beautiful day at the very end of February in Gaithersburg, MD when I was also denied :o...

[hawkgammon]

that'd be cowardice, mongo



Drats! That's what I get for posting while taking to the County Attorney's Office on the phone!


when I was also denied ...




Well now I haven't actually denied you yet, I said I might have to consider it. Besides it's starting to look bad competing against you. See post by sleeveless man above.

I remember February...when I was one of the few who triumphed over you! ;)

[md21954]

OUCH!!! :D

I'LL always give you the handicap lindsay. just as when/if your rating creeps above mine, you'll give it to me. i can't speak for my 'very humble of late' counterpart!

<font color="yellow"> who's yeller hawk? :confused:</font>

[hawkgammon]

Hmmm....

[hawkgammon]

Aha!

[Dick]

no decision really. we just announced we are having a workday. whoever can make it is fine, but we have to get that tree out before the 10th. anyway it won't be as hard a job as rockburn was, but if you can't make it and want to help some other day this year at patapsco, just let me know and i'll meet you up there. we can pick up sticks on a hole or two or freshen a few pads and then play.

Chris you wanna bet with me? Ok, I bet you $5 Tony beats you. WHAT? you think I'm gonna lay money on MY game!?!?!?

[hawkgammon]

There's nothing going on tourney wise prior to the Picnic, so I'll definitely be there to help you prep for that.

[Chris Hysell]

That's probably a real good bet Mark. Tony has NEVER beaten me in that tournament. He may be due.

[Dick]

well i hope to prep for it well in advance. maybe we can schedule some mini workday/ tour stops up there. no kill yourself days like at the rock, more like work for an hour or so and then play.

[mdgnome]

Funny thing is,all that hard manual tamping could have been avoided if you all would have took me up on my tools offer!

Gas tampers work much better,as long as you can drive it to it's destination!!!!!!
Seems like when i offer my help i get 0 response :mad:,so i will stick to the pick-up as i play workdays!SORRY /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[hawkgammon]

I don't know what a gas tamper is, but it sounds nice! ;)

[girlie]

DJ - I'm hearing ya! :D

Please come out on 4/3 if you can find the time and help us pretty up the course a bit before the Patapsco Open.

:cool:

[md21954]

preseason T-N-T (or something similar) today at druid!!!

you know the rules, we'll try to draw at 4:45, the earlier you can get there, the better.

[Dick]

yeah, or bring that gas tamper to patapsco on sat. or call me if we can borrow it, maybe we can meet before hand. It's not that nobody has taken you up on your offer to help, we announce the days, you show up if you can. that's how work days work. what do you want us to do? i'll ask nice or call you if it will get you out there. ;)

[hawkgammon]

Tour Stop High Noon Saturday at Rockburn for those not working or playing elsewhere.

[mdgnome]

I belive i wasn't mad about not being taken up on my offer,i do believe in sarcasm though.

Anywayz,trouble with it all is that i won't be able to get an approval from the boss(which wouldn't ever be a problem anyway),becouse he is on vacation and it's in his garage.I will ask him first thing when he gets back for future use and would be willing to do this(with some help of course)sometime before the Open.
It's actually called a compactor and will make the blue dust or crush like cement pads for a little while.Considering there is no support on the sides to hold it in place it won't last forever,but better than a hand tamper ten fold!

[md21954]

compressed TNT recap-- 12 showed, 11 played, 1 came late, 1 scene. team gawler won with ski in tow at -10. metal tees, beautiful weather.

[hawkgammon]

Ohhhh...more scene details please. :D

[Dick]

i agree, dish on the details of the scene. it's always good for some amusement!

[hawkgammon]

<font color="purple">FELTY WINS ROCKBURN TOUR STOP WITH 57 </font>

<font color="green">Service Second, Boyd Avoids Humiliation </font>

Four of us played a leisurely round at The Rock this afternoon. Final results were:

Matt-57
Greg-60
Bill-62
Hawk-65

It was double deuces day with Matt twoing #'s 5 & 13, Greg getting his on #'s 3 and 6, Bill going back to back on #'s 16 & 17, and me getting holes 3 and 16.

Matt started slow taking a five on hole one.

The same hole saw Greg throwing a spectacular second shot with a Roc from the right briar patch to park for his par. Greg continues to drive primarily sidearm.

Bill's flirtation with infamy began on seven were he began a string of 4-5-circle 4-4-4-4-4-4.

After nine scores were: Greg 28, Matt 29, Hawk 30, Bill 32 :eek: At this point Bill declared that he wasn't going to lose to me. We both foured ten, then I took the dreaded circle six on #11 when I got up in a tree. Bill followed his string o'fours by bookending his pair of deuces with a couple of threes. Meanwhile Matt hit the accelerator with five consecutive three's to end his round. Greg took a tough five on #10 when his drive hit the tree at the bottom of the hill and kicked right into the jungle. He lost ground to Matt on #'s 11, 13 & 14.

Back nine scores were: Matt 28, Bill 30, Greg 32, and Hawk 35 :( .

Tomorrow the tour reconvenes at high noon at the newly spruced up Patapsco to see what the grumpy old men accomplished today. :)

[hawkgammon]

<font color="blue">FELTY WINS AGAIN :cool:</font>

<font color="orange">Sherwood Edges Service For Second :)</font>

<font color="purple">Boyd's Freefall Continues :eek: </font>

Eight players made a staggered start from the blue tees at today's Tour stop at the newly shuffled and lengthened Patapsco. Final scores were:

Matt-65
Mark-68
Greg-69
TPax-70
Hawk-73
Smokin' Joe-73
John W.-75
Bill-82*

In a round that saw only two deuces (Sherwood on #8 and Felty on #12) among eight players; Matt charged to the win with a strong 29 on the back nine. Mark won the front nine with a 33.

Mark and Tom were impressive on #7 shooting fours on the long pin position. Mark's score is also impressive considering he took circle five on #1 and circle 4 on #13. Greg and I took circle five and six respectively on #9 as we missed the mando. Tom circle fived on #1.

Joe actually had the most three's of the round with eight, but his start of 4-6-7 was a little too much to overcome.

*Bill missed the first three holes due to computer difficulties. Apparently he's been on some of those websites again, and his computer has locked up in moral indignation. Rich is on the case. The group decision, a group made up of two other Rockburn Crew members, was for Bill to eat a seven for each of the first three holes. We allowed Bill to play the first three holes at the end alone, and his modified score would have been yet another 73! He added a circle five on number one.

While waiting for the second group to finish, and while Bill was playing with himself /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif on holes 1-3, Greg, Matt and I believe we spotted Ski and some Zoo Crew members playing on hole #4, but it was difficult to positively identify anyone through the cigarette smoke engulfing the group.

The clean-up on #17 is very impressive, and our group contributed to the effort by rearranging downed limbs and branches on various holes, but most noticeably on #13 and the long pin area on #17.

Total time helping our sport:
Greg-9:13 minutes
Bill-7:48 minutes
Matt-6:59 minutes
Hawk-5:34 minutes

Next Tour Stop is Bluemont on Saturday as the Virginia Invasion continues for Rich and I, and a final Paptapsco Open tune-up on Sunday the 4th at the usual high noon. Ski says he is free of weekend work now, so come out Sunday and see what latest fashion statement he makes on the course.

no smoke at all coming from our group hawk. you must have seen someone else. none of us smoke cigarettes (anymore) and dean was with his son, so no smoke coming from our group. it was ski, me, jesse, dean and his son justin who no doubt will be kicking all of our asses if he shows at the pro/am. the kid is a natural.

can we trust anything you write here after such a blatant misrepresentation of the facts?

He was talking about the smoke from Greg and I.

[md21954]

welcome to the bored felty!

i'm just trying to hold the wreckin' ball to the same exacting standards he holds other clubs in our region to. anymore "misrepresentation" and i'll demand my money back, or just refuse to post anymore :D

Understood! What do you expect the guy's HALF NUTS.

[md21954]

it's alwasy A BALL when hawk is on the course! :D

[hawkgammon]

Obviously the comedic stylings alluding to the recent Druid smoking debacle zips over Paul's head. Not unexpected coming from a lacrosse player.

So what were your groups scores Sunday Paul?

[md21954]

didn't keep a card, but it's a safe bet i beat your 73 and i played like crap! will most certainly be putting some hrs in at paultapsco over the next two weeks :Dit is playing TUFF!

justin (dean's son) beat dean (don't know their scores) but that's a pretty good indication this kids got game /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif dean won masters at the picnic last year. justin 3'd 7C!

[hawkgammon]

No card. Riiiiggghhttt /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

A three on seven is scarily impressive. Dean and those blasted genetics! :)

Yes Justin has GAME, no doubt. And yesterdaze round was very pleasant, thanks Paul, Jesse, Dean and Justin :D

[Dick]

I'm going to order 20-25 dx discs to give away to rec and family players that call in to support disc golf at patapsco and rockburn. i'm thinking 150 white sharks with the md disc golf logo on them. anyone have any other suggestions as a better newbie disc? maybe panthers or stingrays?

[girlie]

170 cobra

Great beginner disc and some boyz (and girlz) just have too much snap for a 150 class even in the beginning.

:cool:

[hawkgammon]

As a rec player I would vote for the Aviar or Spider! :)

[hawkgammon]

<font color="blue">call in </font>



Rich are you running a telethon that we are unaware of? :confused:

[md21954]

i think you are dead on w/ the 150g sharks. maybe get some that are heavier to have on hand in case someone knows they like higher weights. there is not a better multi-purpose/newbie disc on the market. when i take shannon on the course, i give her a 150g shark, tell her to use it for every shot, and watch the s-turns fly! :cool:

if i had to tackle a course w/ one disc, that'd be it (champion plastic and heavy of course).

[md21954]

toour stop at the hill yesterday afternoon. deebo and glen smoked the group, while mark c, jim b and myself battled for the remaining tags. jim b shot a 56, i shot a miserable 57 and mark shot an even more miserable 59. i took mark's tag but we swapped it back after playing the super nine. deebo won w/ a +3 (or 2?), followed by jim w/ a +5, mark w/ a +7 and me w/ a +11. my highlight of the day was getting a 3 on the last of the super nine (12's tee to 10's basket).

my forehand is back, hawk. you have no chance at paultapsco!

[hawkgammon]

So Paul makes his choice for the one disc challenge. I'm suprised he chose that over his Roc.

[md21954]

a roc and champion shark are very similar.

here's a rundown of druid's super nine for those interested...

<font color="blue">TOUR INVADES BLUEMONT</font>

<font color="red">Master Plan Goes Slightly Awry </font>

Rich and I arrived seperately this morning with the idea of him winning Advance, and me winning Intermediate. Ohhhh so close. Well for me that is. I lost by one to the diabolical Matt Butcher. This is twice now down in NoVa that we've been in the final group, and he's beaten me. This time by one stroke. :mad:On the plus side I defeated young Bobby Vigil by a stroke to hold second. :D

Now Rich had a tad bit of trouble in the second round shooting a 42 on the back nine which included a triple circle seven, and I believe another circle seven. He can better detail his own personal misery than I. This would include losing to me by five strokes overall.

Conditions were...mucky. The course is very short the first time round the nine holes, and gradually lengthens out each subsequent nine. It gets very difficult, and we didn't play the most brutal set-up. On hole #4 they positioned the basket on the edge of a creek with flags all around it for out of bounds. Brave men cried here.

Matt Raines failed to post. :confused:

I nearly failed to post as one of my truck's tires is leaking, but I persevered.

Prior to the Pro Final Four playing, Tim had a throw off CTP for four unclaimed CTP's. Hysell put his throw in the basket. :D

In addition I have a bag of plastic for Kelly who craves Bluemont recognition. This includes a glo Shark, a fly-dye Whippet, an Eagle, something I cant remember, and an unlabeled mystery disc. Go ahead and throw it...I dare you.

Will try and make the high noon Tour stop at Patapsco tomorrow to practice for the Open, but I've got to get the tire resolved.

[Dick]

yes, i wasn't playing great, with just a 50 in the short config, and i managed a 28 in the long from the short tees, but the middle tees immediately gave me trouble with a circle 5 on 8(in the path on the approach almost hitting a toddler on a small bike. luckily he had a helmet so the parent wasn't too flustered) then i immediately followed it up with an honest 5 on 9. i pulled the ship back together for a couple holes until it fell completely apart on the 4th hole(i was the grown man crying!). my turnover drive hit a tree and straightened right into the creek. i dropped and tried the risky approach to save 5(lay up to the log, dummy!) and dropped it back in the drink. then i tried to lay it onto the little green and it hit the tree and rolled right back in. triple circle 7. next hole i slam a tree 100feet up and it sails backwards and left right over the next tee(and past the laughing women trying to avoid my discs) and right back into the drink. after flailing the rest of the way up i take another 7, this time with only 1 circle. next hole (6) i kiss another tree fly over the creek(near the still laughing women) and land right on the cpaved path and am ob once again.. i throw back up near the hole and manage a circle 5). luckily there was only one more hole for me and i take a 3 and leave with a 42 for 9 holes, my tail between my legs and hawks laughter ringing in my ears. ouch. what the heck do you do when things break down so bad? i'm still not even sure what the heck happened! probably the worst 9 holes i've played in a looong time. i guess you just have to forget it and move on.maybe play a little safer near those creeks next time.

<font color="green">GLEN WINS FINAL PATAPSCO OPEN TUNE-UP TOUR STOP</font>

<font color="orange">Jim B. Battles Wind and Hawk to Take Second </font>

Four of us enjoyed a refreshing round from the reds today in the breezy conditions :).

Final scores were:

Glen-64
Jim B.-66
Hawk-68
Paul-74

Everyone's rust with the reds due to the macho mentality of always playing the blues coupled with the wind contributed to a less than stellar outing for the group.

We started from #10, and Glen deuced it! :cool:That was the highlight of the round. The back/front nine saw no real disasters, but a lot of good drives wasted, or bad drives followed up by decent approaches. Paul hit a real rough patch starting on hole 13 where he went 5-4-5-4-5-4. Scores at the turn were: Glen 30, Jim & Hawk 33, and Paul with a 37.

The front/back nine started off strong /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif as only Jim cleared the screen of trees across the street. Paul and Glen hit and landed among the trees, and I took a fantastic kick to the left ending up safely back across the street for a 10 foot net distance gain off the tee. Things gradually got uglier from there. Paul took a circle six on #5 when his putt sailed over the basket and into the road. On the brutal hole 7 we managed the bogey chain with Jim taking a 4 :D, Paul a 5 :), Glen a 6 :(, and Hawk with a 7 :mad:. That's a nasty hole.

Scores from the second nine were: Jim-33. Glen-34, Hawk-35, and Paul-37.

[imapackerfan]

;) Thanks, Hawk. You are too kind- perhaps your selfless deed will help me get over my rightous indignation... but it's doubtful. :mad::D

Sorry to hear about Paul's poor showing at the Tour Stop today. :eek: Could it be that Paultapsco is punishing him for not showing up yesterday? :D

So, time to call you boys out for next week- dollar-dollar-dollar? Are we playing the same tees on Saturday?

[md21954]

indeed. my no show at the work day probably contributed to my very poor performance. i played like crap and didn't get any breaks. i did do some clearing while playing last sunday, but i'm going to be out there hugging some trees quite a bit to build up some karma.

i'll be playing the same tees (will be playing advanced to ensure it). i think hawk will wimp out! :D

fans, please rest assured. i will do much better when it counts on saturday. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Hi Kelly ;),

Sorry my doltish "opponent" was unable to grasp the subtle nuances of your query. I apologize that I didn't realize you were throwning down the gauntlet to the defending Maryland Series Seneca Leap Women's Champion also. I will be more than happy to accept your challenge, and barter a dollar per similar round, and if possible an overall. I believe Mark calls this a "nassau". :D

Cheers :)

Alright now!!!!!

Some good ol trash talkin goin on again!!!

Kelly,as i was a mere 5-10 mins away from Seneca Saturday i do appreciate your call to inform me of my bag neglect!

[hawkgammon]

Futile, but you got to try. I understand. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[hawkgammon]

Lindsay was saying something about a Patapsco bet between us in the chat room earlier when Hysell cut into my action.

[girlie]

You want some of this? :D

Shall we go the standard nassau?

I know things can get confusing in the chat room - try to keep up. I was firming my bet up with Mark A for worlds, but I'll take you down at Patapsco and not think 2x ;).

See you on Saturday,
L

[Chris Hysell]

your action? As the Boss, I'm entitled to a percentage of the take.

[hawkgammon]

Are you looking for strokes, or even up?

Glad to see you're backing me on this Hysell :D.

[girlie]

You've already said you're too scared to give me strokes (and please don't stroke me ;)). Plus with all that good karma I built up hosting a WORK DAY last Saturday... I can't lose! (I also don't want to hear you whine about "giving" me strokes when I'm wiping the floor with you).

Scrate Up.

:p

[hawkgammon]

I have no problem going straight up because unlike Paul vs. you at Patapsco, I don't think you can beat me head to head. :)

This could mean 30 cents for Hysell at a 10% cut. :cool:

[md21954]

two rounds (red, blue) then about 5 or 6 mega-paultapsco safari.

first round from the blue started with about 3 players on the front, 4 on the back for tags. non-taggers eventually turned the 4-some into a 7-some herd including DD and a few others. very windy, most unimpressive scores but, alas, i captured the shark's tag. i shot a 72, shark and ski shot 74s. i am very confident, wind or no wind, that i can cut at least 4-5 strokes off that 72 simply by removing my head from my [*****].

second round was glen, myers, and myself (3, 5 and 15 tags respectively) from the reds. glen shot a smokin' 53 to defend his tag from the paultapsco pro myers who shot a 55. i shot a miserable 69, but again... i am very confident, wind or no wind, that i can cut at least 2-3 strokes off that 69 simply by removing my head from my [*****]. at least i shot better from the reds than the blues this time :D

i did learn a valuable lesson. i was beat after all that! i might do one round at paultapsco on friday and maybe a casual round at druid to tune up. shark's advice on this bored wasn't enough, but the course pro reinforced it and i am on my way to playing smarter golf.

tee time today, paultapsco, 4ish.

[Sharky]

What about that $1 Nassau Saturday, any takers? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[discgeez]

Me.

[Sharky]

Sorry pal, this is the Am Tour thread, I'll try to beat you in division, but I'm preying on the Ams for the side bet money.

[md21954]

than i guess you are willing to give us a handicap? :D

then again, based on yesterdays results i might not need it :D sorry shark, my bets are closed. i already have too many to keep track of.

[hawkgammon]

My God it looks like the beginning of the humbling of Paul :D

[Dick]

i got that action shark. at least you will go straight up with me. paul need strokes. plus he'll probably need a cart and a sling for his arm if he keeps playing at this rate.

[hawkgammon]

He's getting scared.

[md21954]

He's getting scared.



i maybe scared of a few folks on here, but that list most certainly doesn't include you, hawk.

i might need a sling for my non-throwing shoulder but i'll NEVER use one of those old man carts, rich. it'd be way too embarassing. i think i'm going to avoid paultapsco on friday all together, or maybe get one slow round in as soon as the park opens.

rest assured folks, i'll have my game face on saturday morning :cool:

hawk-- you remember that "zone" (in a zombie-like daze) i was in for the first few holes of the second round of sherando when i let you get ahead by a FOUR strokes, don't you? then i put on the afterburners to come from behind and beat you? well, the afterburners will be glowing bright from the get-go saturday. no foolin' around this time :D

[girlie]

rest assured folks, i'll have my game face on saturday morning



I'm sure you will... the real question is - where will that game face be? Perhaps on the side of Rt. 70? Or maybe thumbing it from Rt. 40? Just hoping that you'll actually show up this time :Dso I can take your dolla ;).

Sharky,

144 for me would be a disaster. I am very confident that I'll be in the mid 130's. I shot 133 last year for two rounds from the reds, and I'm a tad bit better than that now.

My bad, I thought you were "stepping up" to Advanced and doing one round from the tips, if that is not the case then prepare for another 133.

But the important part of this post regards the now cowering BB, that IS funny, BUT, no one can read the quotes :confused:

<font color="red">GLEN WINS ONE DISC CHALLENGE</font>

Three of us braved the gloomy skys and sprinkles to finally try this out at Druid Hill today. We played from the metal tees. Scores were:

Glen-56 (KC Roc)
Paul-60 (Champion Viking)
Hawk-68 (Champion Spider)

Paul looked like he was going to prove Rich's theory about the advantages of using a driver in this kind of thing early on by deucing #1. He didn't seem bothered putting with the Viking, and approaching with flick shots. It was going so well on the front nine for Paul, he vowed to play his next Druid tourney with just one disc and wearing his Mexican wrestling mask if he came in under par. Glen and I started to think we were actually going to get to see that! :cool:By hole 4 Glen was convinced Paul had made the correct disc choice. #6 was when things got challenging for all of us with three off the mark drives. Glen did park #7 for a deuce. Scores on the front nine were: Paul 27, Glen 28, Hawk 31.

I quickly took fives on #'s 10, 11 &amp; 12 to remove myself from contention. Glen and Paul were only one stroke apart until #15 when Paul's drive hit the screen to the left of the tee, and then his second shot put him in the cluster of trees to the right. He ended up taking a five to Glen's three, and on #16 he took a 4 while Glen recorded his second deuce of the day.

We all agreed that it was refreshing and fun to just walk and throw a disc without dealing with the bags and disc selection decisions that go on in normal rounds. It was reminiscent for each of us when we began playing.

Also Druid is looking really good right now with all of the trees blossoming. The back nine has to be the prettiest stretch of holes in the state. The work to resurrect the ponds is proceeding, and also there are about 15 trees on the course waiting to be planted. I hit two of them. One during our round, and another in a solo round prior to our experiment when I shot a 56 using my whole bag, which Glen matched using one disc. :(

Coming soon will be the putter only challenge! :cool:

[md21954]

yup! even par on the front nine with only a driver! i might go back to carrying my old small bag with 2 drivers (in case i lose one or go OB) and a putter. i could have been -3 had i been carrying a putter.... and i still might play the druid open w/ one disc ultimo dragon style :D

[md21954]

OK... tour stop at the roc. one-mini round. predicted scores?

[hawkgammon]

Is that golf weight mini, or cheap mini? Can I use a wooden or metal mini? :confused:

[md21954]

has to be plastic, your choice weight. could you imagine driving 15 w/ a mini? :D

Wooden?????

i think they mentioned a workday at seneca sunday, just light clearing of sticks or something for an hour or so. after that maybe we could play the doubles thing they usually do. sat putter round could work, why not rockburn? talk about learning the value of a safe shot!

Rockburn one disc challenge, sat noon. - try using a putter there. hawk wants calvert.

Sunday 1pm seneca. show up early if you can to help craiger and play at 1pm while the tractor guys take lessons.

[hawkgammon]

Eight of us ditched the bags and battled at Rockburn today.
Results were:

Matt-59 (JK Aviar-x)
Rich-60 (JK Aviar-x)
Mark-61 (CE Aviar)
Bill-65 (APX Swirl)
Hawk-68 (DX Aviar Putter)
Greg-72 (APX Swirl*)
Tom-74 (Tank)
Will-75 (Glo Aviar Putter)

*The other group failed to record the discs used on their card :( so I am going off memory of what Greg usually putts with.

Matt actually carded three deuces on holes 3, 9 & 16. Rich deuced #3, as did Bill. There were a suprising number of circles on the cards considering the use of putters. Rich was above two meters twice on our first three holes (numbers 10 and 12), and Greg also carded a circle 4 on #6 and a circle 5 on #12. Rich and Tom both drove across the creek on #15! :cool:We were all suprised at the distance we were getting with the putters. Often matching what we normally get with drivers.

Prior to the round there was a lot of discussion about hard vs. soft between Rich and Matt. Once overheard they quickly asserted that this was putter related. ;)

Tom was at a disadvantage as he was sidearming his putter, and it's lack of overstability was killing him.

Next Tour stop is Seneca tomorrow at high noon. It's a full bag event. :)

[Dick]

i thought you only had half a bag full? also it was 2 out of the first 4 holes i got stuck in trees above 2 meters. ouch!

<font color="blue">TOUR REGULARS SLAPPED AROUND SENECA BY MUSCULAR SHIRTLESS MAN </font>

<font color="yellow">Mansir Ducks Shoot Out With Hawk </font>

Cleverly arriving late today to avoid work, the Tour rolled into Seneca State Park in preparation for next weekends Soiree. In true DG fashion, the event was disorganized, and late starting. Some of the proletariat wanted to play the short tees, some the longs, and some sought safety in doubles. Leading the push for the long tees, three other brave souls joined me. Final results were:

Tommy-59
Rich-65
Hawk-68
Ski-69 (naturally)

Tommy of the Hands On Aviar putter deuced #'s 4, 5 & 18. Ski got the only other deuce on #10. Tommy and I both carded sixes on #'s 10 and one respectively. Rich continued his love affair with circles carding above two meters twice, and one OB on #11. I joined Rich OB on 11 and also put a putter in a tree on #14. No one escaped uncircled. :D

Our group had an interesting look to it, as Tommy worked on his tan, Rich wore his Colonel Sanders hat, and Ski sported the pot hole repair crew member look. Safety orange could be the hot new look for this season. :cool:

Ski's round started slowly, but after fending off his hat after it attacked him viciously on the back nine, he cruised in with a series of fours.

Curiously most of the Seneca regulars seem to be sporting some kind of goth look as T2 displayed his very white torso. Shrieks of horror were heard from nearby children. That man could play glow without any plastic.

Rich I was discussing my arms. You appear to have confused that with something else.

<font color="purple">Round Marred By Faulty Foot Placement </font>

Feeling young in this group today, three of us played the long tees at Seneca. None of us can remember which color is long, but they were the longs. Scores were:

Brady-67
Mark-67
Hawk-72

This is the section where normally I detail who deuced what holes.




You get the idea. Mark had a three stoke lead at the turn shooting a 33 with Brady and I carding 36's. Brady began a silent sneaky comeback on #11 where he carded a three while Shark and I went out of bounds. I won that battle slightly be going OB 40' further down the fairway. Shockingly these were the only circles of the day, and we actually completed a round without anyone being over two meters :eek: Brady avoided rejoining the five club on the back nine shooting nothing but 3's and 4's to close out with 31, Mark had a 34, and I had another 36.

The round was so mediocre that the early highlight was Brady and I warning Shark about missing his mini by a foot to the right on #9. Shark attempted to return the favor when I put my foot on my mini later in the round. Moral victory to me as I was still at least in line.

Mark was somewhat awed by a couple of my drives, and might be rethinking his backing of Paul in the ratings war. Rich we might have a convert! :D

Solo Stag round @ THE ROCK: 28/28, with dueces on holes 4,9 and 18(short). All and all a pretty sweet round :DI'll be leaving with the $$$ on Sunday :eek:

[hawkgammon]

So that's with you counting the strokes right /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Hawk,lets be honest with each other, I gave you the two strokes on Sunday. And we both know who has the BIGGER arm :eek: Challenge... P.S. my weekends are free now, bring it.

notice how he conveniently left out the part about dance aerobics. :D i do hear him blasting flashdance in his pick-em-up truck before tourneys as he hikes up his make believe leg warmers.

Oh Geesh look it's someone trying to muscle in one Paul's act. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Ski I'm at the Soiree all weekend. See you and your big arm :D there...or not.

[hawkgammon]

as he hikes up his make believe leg warmers.




I'll be borrowing Max's leg warmers for TNT tomorrow. ;)

[Dick]

any bets on me vs. DJ on his home course at the soiree? i think i heard he was playing.

[Dick]

I know shark has bailed out in fear of being beaten by the ams.

<font color="yellow">***** Shark Tourstop change of plans *****
Decided that I am not going to do the Soiree this weekend </font>



I agree Rich. Sounds like someone is trying to cling onto their rating. Curious how he can't make Seneca, but is going to road trip to Codorus on Saturday. Does anyone really think he'll be able to stay away from Rockburn on Sunday? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Hmmmmmmmmmmm...

The sad thing is he may not be scared of losing to only you, but I think Brady and I scared him off yesterday. Apparently a man throwing an Eagle forehand off of every tee is too intimidating for the Shank.

[hawkgammon]

DJ, Dr. Evil is calling you out. Are you prepared to back up your $mack talk of earlier?

Rich - I have Lexi's leash.




Kinky. ;)

[discgeez]

Boy, you guys must have really put a hurtin' on Shark to make him bail at the Soiree. I bet you feel real bad now don't ya Hawk :(

[Dick]

ok, geez. how many strokes will you spot me at the soiree? it is your home course!

[discgeez]

Rich, What's your rating? I'm too old and lazy to look it up.

[hawkgammon]

Feel bad? :D If Shank can't hang with the Tour, then cest la vie. I understand French is the language of the day. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[discgeez]

Hawk, does this mean he gets his Tour card revoked?

[Dick]

910

[mdgnome]

Hawk i had some misfortunes today,but yea i will play i believe.
I retracted my statements though,as of late with the positions of the baskets i have been under par alot!Problem is,lastnight at doubles i lost one of my main Seneca drivers :mad:.

[mdgnome]

Oh yea i have 3 back-ups for that driver! :D

[hawkgammon]

Well Paul got to keep his since he turned tail and has gone into sanctioned tourney hiding, so I guess we'll let Shank keep his. 2005 should see toughened standards though. :cool:

[hawkgammon]

Glad to see you were able to track those down in two minutes Deej. :)

[md21954]

[Sharky]

Have you ever played triples hawk? Tag match at Druid today at 3:30?

[Dick]

maybe shark is starting to get senile? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[md21954]

maybe shark is starting to get senile? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[hawkgammon]

You just picture some guy with a frisbee roaming around the internet mumbling incoherently. :)

[mdgnome]

Hawk,you pulling a spell check on me over in the Cavet site?

[hawkgammon]

Not me Babe.

[Dick]

everyone knows that if hawk wants to comment on the calvert board he quotes it here and proceeds to make fun of it!

[mdgnome]

All this is not for sure but i have paid!
