I did go out to the course, pretty big lake on 14. New wood patterns on hole 6, minior and some major water on a lot of the course, a fair amount of debris washed up all along the creek on the back side. The logs lining 14 were mostly washed down to near the creek.






By Mark S on Thursday, July 29, 2004 - 06:03 pm:


The course has dried up!





That would fall into the miracle category I believe. :D

[hawkgammon]

i am sure i will not lose to Hawk in 2004 again!!!!!

And... (drumroll, please...)

What about Paul? ;)

[hawkgammon]

Why I just covered that on the hawkgammon vs. md21954 thread since you're interested. ;)

[imapackerfan]

WOW! I read your post on the hawkgammon vs. md21954 thread... may I say that your write-up of today's events were both informative AND emasculating? All in one fell swoop- how ever do you do it? ;) :D

[imapackerfan]

Oh- I know- it's because the information IS the emasculation... :eek:

[hawkgammon]

Like they say..."The truth hurts." /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[md21954]

tonight's TNT will be a 6:13 draw, from the metal tees

Have fun without me, this should be the last TNT missed by Ski :D

[hawkgammon]

I should have been there, but my medical appointment got shifted to Friday. :( Perhaps this weekend we can try Druid without the rain.

[md21954]

no can do sat. likely available sunday.

Off saturday, your home course Hawk ??? Sunday after 1400 HRS... Maybe a second round @ MY home course ?!?! Bring some friendz. :cool:

[hawkgammon]

Saturday the <font color="red"> Tour </font> will be making it's first official stop in Delaware at the Delaware Cross-Town AM Championship.

Are you an Am?

Do you want to be a champion?

Then come explore two unknown (to me at least) courses at White Clay Creek in DE, and then Anson B. Nixon in PA.

It's not just a cross-town, but also a cross-state! :cool:

[hawkgammon]

DE Crosstown AM Report.

A suprisingly small field of 20 players were present for this event. This could have been caused by people going to Worlds, but apparently it was played last year in a torrential downpour, and some of the guys I played with said that might have kept people away.

I saw Dr. Rob, and Trevor W. there. It was run by the Senator.

The first course was White Clay which fooled me. The practice holes I played 1,2,3, 17 & 18 were all relatively short, so I thought this would be a breeze. Rob warned me that there were bigger holes on the back, and he was correct. :eek: One of the things they like to do here and at the other course (Nixon) is put the basket in a tight circle of trees (say five feet around) or right on the edge of some other unpleasantness. I played at White Clay with Steve H., Adam V. and Jeff "Boomer"" M. Thanks to Boomer for guiding the three of us from DE to PA. I had Rob as a back-up tour guide! :DOur round at White Clay was cool as some of the holes are short, and then longer and wider, but still fairly narrow. I ended up shooting a 58 to Adams 51 :cool:, Steve's 56 & Boomers 59 :(. Then we made the 30 minute commute into PA where we got food and fuel.

At Nixon the Senator had us do a little putting contest into a Skill Shot prior to the round. This was won by Steve who by the way plays while listening to his MP3. :) Adam and Whitey from PA tied for second and had a playoff after our round. Trevor and I scored a disappointing 10 points to Steve's winning score of 35.

Nixon is a wild course. Some of the holes are obscenely long. White Clay had one that was 550', and I think a couple of the Nixon ones were close, and they could have been longer according to my tour guide Boomer. The other diabolical part of Nixon is that several of the holes are under 200', but they are tight! I'm talking three-four foot windows. There is one hole on the front nine that is particularly interesting in that it's got pet graves all over it. There are markers for Rover 1945-1958 etc. I ended up shooting another 58 which should have been a 56 but I yanked to sub 10' putts :mad:. One of which was on the last hole and cost me the tie with Steve for I believe 5th overall in Advance. The Senator has us play with the same group at Nixon as we did at White Clay. Steve shot a 59, Adam and Boomer both had 53's I believe. Adam was the big winner with Rob coming in second. I could have won Rec! :DI'm not sure how these results will help me in the bet but anything is probably forward progress.

Both courses are worth checking out on a day trip, but I'd probably give the nod to Nixon as the more interesting of the two.

Anybody wantta play hookie from work tomarrow and hit Seneca ???

[hawkgammon]

Not tomorrow as I'm a dedicated public servant! ;) Rockburn on Sunday is looking tasty though. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

hey all yall squareheads,

4 intrepid discers shot from the metals (on a woods week due to weather) in driving rain for the front nine, no rain on the back nine. $5 buy in for TND was called. we flipped, teams = yours truly and superfreak tom e vs. sunday morning ultimate regs john and jay. jj got off to a hot start and was one up through three. tom carried me for the rest of the front to tie us at -4. i contributed some long putts and a deuce on twelve and thirteen as we decided to run away with it on the back. final score -8 to -5, team paul/tom e threeup.

all four contributed to the ace pot, no aces, the ace pot starts at $217 from the metals next week.

[Dick]

i did notice lindsay has really knocked that 10 stroke advantage per round of kelly's down to 5-7 strokes. sounds like she's making some improvement in her game. looks like after the first 2 rounds she as gotten it together and been shooting solid 800+ golf.
kelly has been pretty consistent as usual.
DJ, well he must be enjoying the home cooking too much... :D

<font color="blue">BOYD AND SMOKIN' JOE TIE :( AT ROCKBURN TOUR STOP </font>

<font color="green">Injured Tour Commissioner Forgets To Have Them Play-Off For Win :mad:</font>

Six of us started off this afternoon with only five of us finishing, and it was almost only four.

Breaking up into two groups of three, Smokin', Ski and Greg headed off to #9 (Greg was never seen again! :eek:) and Rich, Bill and I teed off on #1.

My drive on #1 went into the rough on the right, and then my attempted anhyzer stalled out and ended up left. Walking over there I stepped into a hole and fell twisting my ankle and respraining my right wrist. :mad:At that point I was done for the round. Boyd was hot and cold with two deuces and three fours on the front nine. Rich hit a bad spot going 5-5-4 on holes 6-8. I took a spectacular circle 6 on #9 when I hit the creek for the first of two times in the round. :(

Meanwhile Joe is running hot and cold just like the course "pro", and Ski is racking up some impressive circles of his own. A double circle six on #15 :confused: :o, and a single circle on #18. As this group hit #18 Service vanished. Ski and Joe reported hearing a scream and turning around, but Greg was gone. :eek: They played on. :)

Back to our group, and as we started the back nine, Rich is four strokes behind Bill. I'm just out taking a walk and throwing stuff haphazardly. Rich begins to reel Bill in by picking up one stroke on holes 10-12. Before Bill can actually crumble under the pressure though, Rich hits another skid, and goes 5-circle 4-4 on holes 13-15 giving Bill his cushion back. Rich's five on # 13 was frightning as his forehand drive sailed dead straight and long into brush that I've never seen anyone venture into. His second shot was a nice recovery, but reeling from the search and rescue mission, he three putts. :oHe follows that up by putting his new shiney driver into the cedar that guards the left side of the gate on #14. Not to be outdone I took my own circle five on #15 when I turned over my drive and ended further right and in the creek than I have ever seen anyone go before. Also on #15 Boyd ended up to the left and throws a blind second shot that ends up resting against the pole! :cool:With all this I actually managed to stay within two of the guys on the back nine! :)

In what is now a twosome Ski takes a straight 6 on #7 :o:eek: but matches Joe with a deuce apiece on the front.

Final scores were:
Smokin'-61 (#'s 3 &amp; 13)
Boyd-61 (3 &amp; 7 :cool:)
Ski-63 (5 &amp; 13)
Rich-65 (3)
Hawk-70
Service-999

Scores are questionable in that our group played #18 long, while the Joe group played 18 short. /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

We came across Ski's close personal friend Ben on #7, and with his stick wielding karma following us we set a record finding/coming upon six discs during our round.

The guys did a substantial amount of work on the wood holes getting the knee high rough down to shoe height. There was talk of some cleaning up work to come, and a complete mow of the course days prior to the Challenge. Boyd also threatened to freshen up the tees to please Mr. Gangloff who was out there with a group of his own.

Shockingly I spotted Billstream and Joe hitting a "package" store after the round. ;)

[hawkgammon]

<font color="red"> 2005 Tour Cards </font>

I've already begun design work on these for distribution in late December/early January. This year I gave them out to just about anybody in the state who had a disc golf pulse. Next year I'm going to reward the 10 most active Tour participants with cards. Nothing like a little elitism. :cool:Everyone else will simply be jealous and on the outside looking in. So in essence you need to earn your card by playing. :)

I've tallied up everyone's participation so far this season, and the top ten participants are listed below:

Hawk-37
Shark-19
Rich-19
Paul-15
Boyd-13
Ski-12
Glen-11
Service-8
Felty-7
Smokin' Joe-5
Paxton-5

There's a bunch of other names on the sheet which I'll continue to tally up until about mid-December. Right now these players will have the most talked about membership card of 2005, and a cherished collectible! ;)

[md21954]

let me be the first to suggest another tour stop at the rock this coming weekend. i don't think i'll be doing the howler.

[hawkgammon]

Actually you're the second since I told Rich while playing yesterday that I would be coming back out sometime on Sunday after yesterday's debacle.

I'll post a time Saturday night after I/we get back from the Howler as I'll know if I want to get up early, or play late. We might have an unusually late kick-off! :)

Late would be GREAT, say around 1345 HRS. 1400 would be mo-betta as that would afford some warm up time...

[Dick]

crap. i have some work to do to hold off sherwood. does the howler count as a tour stop?

[hawkgammon]

Wherever I am is a Tour stop. :)

[md21954]

a tour stop should be where ever a card carrying member decides to make it. results need be posted within 24 hrs here.

[hawkgammon]

That's actually how I tallied things up. For instance your round with Glen and Norm Saturday got counted for each of you.

lost...dark side of the moon beast on #8 at the rock....almost at the opening of the mouth on left side. lost at #9 at the rock white beast went half way down fairway and clicked hard left. no spin lost an orc on #6 to the right of the fairway in the jungle.



Bill you stole my Pink Floyd Beast, and lost it?

The course "pro" has always said it's fine as long as you stay in the fairway. ;) /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

So ALL of my solo rounds don't count for AM. Tour stops ?!?! Dratts :mad:

2nd round:
27,25=52 dueced 2,6,13,17 & 18 :Dshort tees, naturally.

[Dick]

a tour stop should only be counted if MORE THAN ONE card carrying member is present. otherwise it's just playing a casual round.

[md21954]

and announced on this thread!

[hawkgammon]

No WVO for me. I need to let Paul play somewhere alone...and crash and burn. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[md21954]

we will be battling for the coveted "king of the rec division" at the rock though ;)

[hawkgammon]

I was thinking about that the other day. One of us losing to the other is not the big shame. Finishing second in rec (or third...or fourth :o) in rec will be much more humiliating! :D

Now this is almost libelous! My rating and miserable 70 out there the other day clearly make me a strong rec candidate. Paul on the other hand is playing up! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif You can only label me a bagger if I throw over a 915 round. ;) Plus we heard you pay out well, and we need plastic. :)

it's been in my garage for 20 years. i'm sure any finishing has faded off. it used to look awesome, almost prismatic. which is what i told you. can't wait to see it. maybe it will bring me luck out there.
i think i have another board or two of it at home...

What do you mean "bring YOU luck"...I said I'd let you see it. Your gonna have to beat it out of me!

Perhaps a friendly wager? Or in your case a Devilish wager.

hmmm. you haven't made mine yet? so a wager on who gets the first one? name your terms sir!

<font color="blue">NO SPIN WINS ROCKBURN CHALLENGE TUNE-UP TOUR STOP :) </font>

<font color="purple"> Ras Disc Cruises In For Second :cool:</font>

<font color="red">hawk defeats paul in great rec battle preview ;) </font>

10 of us showed up at noonish today to walk the Rock, and enjoy a perfect disc day. Course pro Boyd arrived sporting a hamstring injury he incurred while tubeing. :confused: Perhaps he should try less dangerous hobbies like napping. He gamely tried to go, but ended up bailing out. Upcoming Rockburn Challenge TD Rich Myers arrived late (hopefully not foreshadowing for next weekend) with Not Boyd Bill (NBB) as our two groups had teed off their first hole. Rich and NBB went ahead of us to hole 2. Our group (Paul, Smokin' Joe, Shark, and myself) started on #1, and the Jim's group (Myers, Brazil, Boyd and Jesse) started on #18.

Paul and Shark were struggling mightily out of the gate. Joe and I were playing rather well. Mark got the first deuce of the day hitting #3 :), and then Joe deuced #5 :cool:. Paul's rough start hit a low point on #8 when he yanked his aqua blue CE (yes CE not C) Valkyrie into the right side woods about a third of the way up the fairway. A brief search and rescue mission proved fruitless. Circle five. :( Joe joined the circle club on #9 when his drive got wet. While attempting to retrieve it, he nearly went into the creek, but I managed to catch him. We got the disc and remained dry. Circle four.

Meanwhile the other group started with fours and fives on #18 (long pin) before JM and Ras deuced #3. :) Gimpy Bill skipped #4 and then both Jim's and Ras deuced #5. JM finished their front nine by deucing #8 :cool:after taking a five on #7 :mad:. Boyd bailed for good at #8.

In the twosome Rich and Not Boyd Bill where threeing and fouring their way through their first nine holes with Rich taking a five on #9, and NBB matching that with a five of his own on #10.

After nine various holes things were standing at:
No Spin-27
Ras Disc-28
Jim B.-29
Hawk-29
Rich-30
Smokin'-31
Not Boyd Bill-34
Mr. Calvert-36
Paul-36
Boyd-DNF

Our back nine started badly as I took a five on #10, and Paul followed that up with a five on #11. Paul then took a circle four on #12 when his second shot ended up above 2m's in the evergreen near the basket. :( Mark then began his move on me by deucing #13 with a spectacular park job driving to within two feet of the basket. :cool:At #14 we were joined by Kinder Farm's very own Tim Ski who was sporting the shirtless look allowing us to admire his unique chest hair. Something not to be missed! ;) Ski did declare that he was willing to bet $20 that he finishes (I'm not sure if I recall this correctly :() either in the top five of Advanced at this Saturday's Rockburn Challenge or it might have been in the top 20%. Bettors might want to contact Ski here to get the specific wager details. On #15 Joe got wet for the second time by driving into the creek. Circle four. :(. Things got incredibly ugly on #16 when my drive kicked waaaaaaaaaay left into previously uncharted territory. Upon locating the disc Paul described it as, "The worse lie I've ever seen :eek:" Ski was equally horrified and Mark was thinking come back. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Enduring what I believe turned out to be stinging nettles, (multiple severe burning sensations on both legs after coming into contact with something in there) I had to take a stance and then throw backwards to the fairway...twice. :oA great fourth :eek: shot saved a six. /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

The Jim's group was now a threesome, and they played through us on #11. Ras deuced #12 :cool:, and No Spin got #13. Brazil deuced #15. :)

The twosome wrapped up their second nine with NBB deucing #13 :cool:, and Rich getting a circle four on #15. I suspect he went swimming. :(

Second nines scores saw me falling to the back of the pack after my four throws forward and two back on #16.

Jim M.-26
Ras Disc-29
Mr. Calvert-30
Rich-31
Jim B.-32
Smokin'-32
Not Boyd Bill-32
Paul-34
Hawk-36

Final damage was:
Jim M.-53
Jesse-57
Jim. B.-61
Dr. Evil-61
Joe-63
Hawk-65
Shark-66
NBB-66
Paul-70
Boyd-999

We'll see everyone at the Rockburn Challenge this Saturday site of the <font color="green"> Greatest Recreational Division Battle of All Time! </font>

[Dick]

hawk, i forgot to mention that i met many recreational players out there, and invited them all out there for the greatest rec battle of all time. many of them expressed interest and said they would come. several looked pretty good, with a pair of them that had only one or two discs apiece looking pretty good. you better watch out! :o

By rich on Monday, August 23, 2004 - 08:59 am:


I doubt the event will fill, there should be plenty of room to just show up. i'm guessing 50-60, but could be more or less depending on the weather. also could be alot of rec players, so if anyone wants to bring a newbie along,(or a sleeper with no tournament experience to humiliate hawk and paul!) please do! all ams will get a disc and a special gift!





Your blatant atempt to try and stack the deck against us is futile. Even if some rookie shows up with some skills, I'll just Paxton them with rules. I am a certified official. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif I'm sure there will be some foot faults and practice throws going on. ;)

As much as i'd like to foil your plans Hawk i've got my sights set on taking home the # 1 Advanced title :eek: Bring your game ladies. Rockburn, my new unofficial home course :cool:

[Sharky]

You may hide in the refuge of humor but if you play rec you will be helping to destroy our competitive structure :o

What would nick say ? Craig ??

[Dick]

i think they should have to play left handed if they want to play rec.

nick would probably be ok with it, since they are actually playing in the division their ratings place them in.

Lets wait and see who gets the last laugh saturday :D

[hawkgammon]

if you play rec you will be helping to destroy our competitive structure





As the good Dr. said, I am merely playing my rating. I think most of us play above our ratings all the time as it is "cool" to be with the big boys. I was telling Rich on the ride back from That Of Which We Don't Speak that part of the problem with this sport is that there is too much investment in everyone winning. Way too many divisions etc. If there were just one AM division and I was ending up 20th each week that wouldn't bother me. I play merely to compete against myself i.e. move my rating up. Obviously you are concerned that Paul or I might prevail, and then the public will shower us with accolades unlike what you received in your twice removed age protected win. :D

i'm simply playing rec to take plastic from the popovich clan. like taking candy from babies! :D

[girlie]

LMAO! What is sport without rivalry?

Good Luck Rec Players! :D

[md21954]

speaking of rivalry, girlie. i'm sneaking up on your post count :D

[md21954]

WVO sidebets anyone?

shark graciously volunteered to run the tag challenge. thanks shark!

[girlie]

You Sneak! You utter sneak!

And post ho'in too! Look at that - 2 one line posts in 2 minutes... Hold on, I'm getting T.Rowe Price on the line right now... what did you say your supervisor's name is? :D

[md21954]

T. Rowe Price? never heard of him.

[md21954]

druhill today anyone?

[hawkgammon]

i'm simply playing rec to take plastic from the popovich clan.



I'm planning on taking plastic from players I've never met before. Players who won't be allowed to speak to me, or make direct eye contact with me. There's a good chance one of them will be carrying my bag in the second round.

[md21954]

word!

you mean, to show them the true meaning of sportsmanship.

i'm gonna make a popovich-- i mean a rec player-- never want to play a tourney again! :D

[Dick]

keep in mind guys, the rec payout is traditionally pretty flat to reflect the low entry fee vs. the player's pack. not alot of discs to be had there!
on the other hand, i was out sunday touting the event to every rec player i could find out there, so hopefully you'll have some competition! you know i'm gonna laugh if some rec player makes paul and hawk not want to play a tournament again! :D

[Dick]

i'm really going to have to post more! paul and girlie are leaving me behind!

[Dick]

posting more and post whoring are entirely different rich. :p

posting more and post whoring are entirely different rich.



You tell him, Paulina! ;)

Good Luck in the Rec Division this weekend - I know the cards are stacked against you, but I believe you can pull through and my money is on you to crush Billy George into little bitty pieces! :eek::D

[md21954]

still no responses to my WVO sidebet challenge? where's the champ? :confused:

[hawkgammon]

The more rec players you bring just means more earned points for Paul and I! I guess you'll let Billy G. play Jr. so he's probably out of the mix. You're ongoing desperate attempt to stack the deck against us is futile!

[Dick]

it's on like donkey kong! what do you want to bet paul? strokes? name your terms.

[md21954]

dolla dolla dolla dolla nassau. standard CG handicap system, current ratings.

[girlie]

dolla dolla dolla dolla nassau. standard CG handicap system, current ratings.



You're ON!

But we're only playing 3 rounds of singles... is the last dollar overall?

Your handicap against a 1000 rates player would be 12.41 strokes while mine would be 18.105 strokes. The difference between us (numbers guy ;)) is 5.695.

Watch out, Paulina - I'm about to open up a can-o-whoopazz! :D

[md21954]

But we're only playing 3 rounds of singles... is the last dollar overall?

that'd make it a nassau. so i have to beat you by 17 strokes on the weekend? i should have that covered after round one :D

[md21954]

so far...

strokes from 1000 rated player...
paul -- 12.41
girlie -- 18.105
rich -- 7.65

so rich has to beat me by 4.76 strokes per round, and girlie... well, we won't worry about that one too much :D

[hawkgammon]

If I were a betting man, I'd have to go with Rich over Paul. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[girlie]

Ahem, you need to beat me by 17.085 overall for that last dollar of the nassau - If I were you, I'd be more concerned about the first $3! :p :D

[Dick]

anyone else want some of this action? i intend to show paul a lesson in WV golf! i'll bet anyone 20$ that i beat him senseless(or at least by 5 strokes!)

[hawkgammon]

Most of Paul's posts have already demonstrated that he is senseless. Five strokes per rounds is a given. You beat me on average by four.

[md21954]

hawk,
you are not allowed to talk smack regarding WVO being that you are too skeered to play it. :p

[hawkgammon]

Don't confuse smack with fact.

It's not a matter of being scared of playing there. I can only handle watching you play the second round, in one of the groups ahead of mine, so many times.

[md21954]

it's OK to be scared sometimes hawk. just admit it!

[hawkgammon]

It's not fear, but simply an unwillingness to be there when you eventually collapse and begin sobbing uncontrollably in a fairway somewhere.

Gentlemen...it's ONLY a disc golf course!??!?! Granted men and women get equal billing as sex objects in WV, it's all good!

[Dick]

grown men have been known to cry while playing wap wap!

just a disc golf course...the hell you say!

[imapackerfan]

still no responses to my WVO sidebet challenge? where's the champ?



Yo- you talkin' to ME? Sorry I couldn't respond to your challenge sooner, I WORK for a living! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

You're on, pal. I'll take your money if you so loosely want to throw it at me like that! And if Wap Wap doesn't give you a breakdown, getting your *** whooped by me AGAIN will surely leave you "collapsed and sobbing uncontrollably in a fairway somewhere"... when will you ever learn? :D

[imapackerfan]

Hawk- do you have any tour stops in the works for Sunday? I'd really like to get a bunch of people going to Codorous- do you need for me to post the particulars, or have you been lurking? ;)

[hawkgammon]

What is the meaning of lurking ? I am kind of indifferent about going up to Codorus. As much as I love Jay and Clint I think I might take Sunday off, after THE GREAT ROCKBURN CHALLENGE RECREATIONAL BATTLE and run errands and perhaps play Goucher. Though I'm not 100% not going yet, I'm at around 96.2%. Of course if I win a huge trophy from Rich, then I'm mounting it to the hood of my truck and hitting the road! :DI will definitely be up there <font color="blue">October 23rd </font> for their PDGA c-tier as I have never missed a sanctioned tourney at Codorus in my career.

[hawkgammon]

Okay people,

Place Your Bets Now! (http://www.pdga.com/msgboard/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=Players&Number=227994&fpart=&PHPSESSID=)

[md21954]

YOU'RE ON!!! dolla dolla dolla dolla!

[imapackerfan]

By "lurking", I was asking if you had been a silent observer of the Cavet Bored, of course.

96.2% still gives me reason to hope, then. Trophy or not, I think everyone at Codorous would be honored by your presence! I'll even drive you up there, if being seen with a World Champ isn't too degrading for the Rockburn Rec Champ. ;)

[imapackerfan]

BTW-

<------ Who is THIS? He looks vaguely familiar, have I seen him in my fantasies?

I just voted. Do not- I repeat- DO NOT let the hippie kid beat you. Don't worry about Paul and the Pop's- focus on beating the hippie kid!

[hawkgammon]

YOU'RE ON!!! dolla dolla dolla dolla!





I guess I should have said place your votes now. No
betting...it's against my Mormon principles.


<------ Who is THIS? He looks vaguely familiar, have I seen him in my fantasies?





The greatest rock musician of all time: Freddie Mercury.

[md21954]

kelly took my side bet, lindsay took my side bet, rich took my side bet, and even disc hick from MI took my side bet... but alas, sherwood decided to inquire and wimp out via private message :D

i really can't blame him though. i do beat him even up occasionally and he won't bet unless it's a sure thing. :D

[imapackerfan]

Oh, of course! I didn't recognize him without his teeth showing. You know, for a while I was surprised to see you posting pictures of woman models. This (posting pictures of *** musicians) seems right. Way to "come out"! :o

[md21954]

hawk came out a long time ago. where have you been kelly? :eek:

[hawkgammon]

Paul is merely bitter that I've rejected his advances.

I would have thought anyone betting Paul at West Virginia would be recognized as a sure thing. :confused:

[md21954]

hawk, you are way out of bounds talking smack about a course and tourney you are too scared to play.

[hawkgammon]

As usual your logic is faulty...much like your game. My not playing the WVO is not fear. Should we draw the same conclusion that your are too afraid to play Bluemont, or the Delware Crosstown Championship, or the Hound Dog Howler, or the first Codorus PDGA or the Seneca Soiree? I seem to be on Tour much more than you. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[md21954]

i've played tourneys at those courses (measley bluemont aside) before. have you been to wap wap?

[hawkgammon]

Weak effort.

[hawkgammon]

Ice Bowls and Monthlies don't count. :D

[md21954]

I will definitely be up there <font color="blue">October 23rd </font> for their PDGA c-tier as I have never missed a sanctioned tourney at Codorus in my career.

where is the info on this? that is a tentative date for the parks and people event.

Absolutely wonderful course design, Great grooming, very challenging, and well run disc golf event. It was my virgin experience @ Killens and i would brag about it to all. It takes a very good Disc golfer to be on his game that day to surface to the top of the leader board. It is not a bad trip to make from my neck of the world here @ Codorus...Hope many of you can make it to our SAT. OCT 23 PDGA C TIER event....or our Sunday, Aug 29th end of the summer blast. THANKS Jay.




Sorry that you're not part of the inner circle and informed elite. :p

[imapackerfan]

kelly took my side bet, lindsay took my side bet, rich took my side bet, and even disc hick from MI took my side bet... but alas, sherwood decided to inquire and wimp out via private message

i really can't blame him though. i do beat him even up occasionally and he won't bet unless it's a sure thing.



Speaking of not betting unless it's a sure thing- has anyone else noticed that Paul is only betting Women, Masters, and GrandMasters? Is Paul afraid of betting other Advanced Men? Considering his DFL at the last Paw Paw event, one can understand... :eek: Sorry, this post could be interpreted as cruel and unusual. Especially by Paul. :D

[hawkgammon]

Kelly,

Curiously his pool of opponents does seem limited to the ones you mentioned. Perhaps you recall this Paul comment from the 2004 Druid Hill Open Thread:


puhlease! i don't take strokes from women OR grandmasters




He definitely seems to have found his competitive niche. ;) Why do I suspect he was shaking Sherwood down for some strokes when he posted this earlier today? :D


but alas, sherwood decided to inquire and wimp out via private message

i really can't blame him though. i do beat him even up occasionally and he won't bet unless it's a sure thing.




Does anyone care to go back through the Thread and find a Tour stop in which Paul finished ahead of the Professor? None immediately come to mind. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[md21954]

since when do you have to step in to cover smack for methusaleh? :D

[hawkgammon]

I'm all about helping the elderly. Hence my work with Meals on Wheels. Besides if it's smack and you're involved, I rarely can resist since you have yet to back any of it up. :D

[md21954]

2 wins, 3 losses, 1 tie. tomorrow could even things up.

[hawkgammon]

:D

Keep clinging to meaningless little threads of hope little boy. The ratings war is a crushing defeat for you over the past month. Now if you start to put a couple of 20+ stroke wins together I might begin to entertain your blather.

I notice a lack of bold predictions for a victory from you for tomorrow. Of course you are 0-3-1 since March. :D

Please let the bantering and smack talk continue... See you in the A.M. ladies :cool:Bring your game, you'll need it.

[hawkgammon]

Ski,

I've seen you shirtless...I am unafraid!

[md21954]

i keep forgetting there is even a tournament tomorrow i'm too excited about WVO! :D

[md21954]

tour stop, friday 9/3, paw paw, WV, woodshed , ***** crack of dawn! :D

[Dick]

so WV time that means about 10 or 11 am?

[md21954]

i don't typically sleep in. might be a solo round though!

[hawkgammon]

I too am less than my usual charged up. Perhaps I'll get in game mode tonight or the morning. :)

[md21954]

word. usually, the night before a tourney, i'm thinking of shots and what i need to do. tonight, i'm thinking that, but not about rocburn, instead, paw paw.

no martinis for me tonight either. that alone should shave five strokes off last sundays performance.

nighty night. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Congrats, but you failed to post empty smack talk prior to the event. ;)

I went out to Goucher today for a private training session. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Good news for everyone who loves those cinder blocks at the back of the tees. The tee signs have been installed, and they are flat plates flush with the tee surface replacing the cinder blocks. They sport a G and what I assume is Gouchers mascot. It appears to be a gopher. Perhaps a beaver. Definitely some member of the rodent family. Also the yardage to the permanently installed basket, and a rough diagram of the path to the hole. It looked pretty good. The alternate tees are still hit or miss in terms of being marked. I did manage to deuce #8 twice for you Goucher veterans, and I hit the roof of the brown outbuilding on #5 :cool:which then skidded across the roof and down the other side barely missing the bus, and ended up in the parking lot under the air conditioner units. It gave me a good look, but is OB. :( Just me and an older couple throwing some lids out there this afternoon. I suspect they were spies working for Paul. :D

[imapackerfan]

Wow, what a day!! :D

What AWESOME courses! What AWESOME people! Clint, you're the greatest. (Jay and Bill aren't too shabby, either) I had so much fun, everybody around me was having so much fun, I really FTL of Codorus. The payouts were BIG...
...But Clint has a heart even bigger than the Candyman's payouts. There were some novice ladies there, playing their first tournament- and they each got a scrip worth $8. One was looking at a small disc golf bag, the other a sweet Pro-line Leopard... and if it had been anybody else "shopping", they would have had to kick in some extra cash to cover the difference in value. But he just shushed those girls' money away- and made their day. Made my day, too. Those girls have only been playing for a month, but I'll guarantee that one little act of kindness keeps 'em coming back forever. For that, Clint, you've earned a pedestal right next to to the one I keep John Biscoe on- and that's the highest disc-golf compliment I can give!

Oh- and did I mention, there was over $200 raised for charity? Thanks Rich, Rachel, Neil, and all the Codorus golfers who made donations!

I encourage all the Maryland golfers to attend the PDGA Tournament to be held at Codorus October 23rd- If you've never seen the courses, it's an opportunity you shouldn't miss, and an experience you'll never forget. Fantastic!!

I could go on and on, so let me sum it all up-

Wow, what a day!! :D

[Sharky]

I got 8 my last time out there too, of course I only got it once, you always have to one up me :mad:

Actually, thanks for the push, the thought of hawkgammon catching me is nice motivation

<font color="red">HAWK </font> DEFEATS <font color="orange"> SKI</font> AT GOUCHER

<font color="green"> Jeff Pop </font> Returns To Tour With The Big Boys

The three of us met at Goucher today to see who could sweat the most. Jeff was already there when I arrived, and he complained about the lack of co-eds I had promised him. Curiously we spotted several out and about right at the announced 1430 tee time. Coincidence or the pull of the Disc Golf Hero? You decide!

Things were going along with the usual slightly annoying threes until the third hole where I overshot the basket on a second shot and ended up in the thorns behind the basket. Goucher might earn the nickname Rockburn Jr. for the caliber of the rough there. I take a four, but both Ski and Jeff even things up on #4. On #5 I parked my drive two feet from the basket for the first deuce of the day. :cool:At this point Jeff was riding an unpleasant string of fours. On #8 I deuce it for the third round in a row :D, while Ski takes a four. :( Ski bounces back magnificently on #9 though were he cranks his drive directly over the basket and hits the trunk of the tree 10' behind. A deuce for Mr. Orange. :)

Scores after nine were:
Hawk-26
Ski-28
Jeff-30

Staying hot Tim deuces #10 :cool:. Things are threeing along for the most part until #14 where I failed to repeat my good drive of the first rotation, and I hyzer into the parking lot behind the facilities building. If the bus had been there I would have hit it and probably stayed in bounds. Circle four. The match is now tied. Onto #15 Ski's drive is short, and his approach leaves him with a 15' uphill putt. I mention to him casually, "Whatever you do don't miss and roll down the hill." Naturally Ski misses (he hit the right side chains which is like us normal people [right handers] hitting the left side) and it trickled past. Ski looks away, and Jeff and I watch it catch an edge and make a u-turn and roll down the hill behind a tree. :eek: The rare Goucher five. :oSki takes another four on #17, but deuces #18 for the second time. :D

Final scores were:
Hawk-54
Ski-56
Jeff-59

Off to Druid tomorrow for some more TeeBird work.

As the Governor of Cali-forn-ya say's, "i'll be back" :DGood timez as always, Ski ya soon :cool:

<font color="red">Hawk Defends #16 Tag Against Randy O. & Willie </font>

I went out to Druid today to simply play the most casual of rounds, but there was Randy looking for a round. After warming up my putting with my wind putter the Classic Aviar I agreed to throw a round with Randy who elected to play the metal tees. Rockburn Challenge Rec Runner Up John was there, but clearly he wanted no more of me! ;)

In an almost erie repeat of yesterday's disasterous missed putt and roll by the Skister, Randy is putting for a three on #1 and hits metal and rolls back down the hill. This initiated a rough start for Randy as he went 5-4-5-4-4 through the first five holes. I was threeing along during this period.

Randy caught fire on #6 when putting for his three from about 65' he nails the putt! :cool:He threed out the rest of the front nine. I managed to deuce #8 after Spidering down within 10'. Scores after nine were:

Hawk-26
Randy-34

After a brief break to restock water etc. Randy started the back nine a little roughly going 4-5-4. On #11 we both were short of the turn and ended up in the woods. I took the yellow Spider and threw an annie out a hole in the foliage, and neither Randy or I ever saw the disc, but we watched the shadow go along the ground and disappear into the woods where the basket sat in the c pin position. Upon entering the woods I was parked for my three. :eek: :cool:On #12 we both took fours and then we matched each other the rest of the way out.

Final scores were:

Hawk-55
Randy-66

<font color="green"> ATTENTION DRUID HILL FANS </font>

<font color="blue"> SATURDAY THE 11th IS A WORKDAY </font>

Ms. Rachel has contacted me and requested our attendence at the SBER sponsored clean-up of the three ponds to show SBER and the city our interest in the course. As many of you know I have an association with SBER, and have full confidence in them doing the right thing out there. However this would be a way for us to introduce ourselves and our concerns to the powers that be. Unfortunately Rachel is unable to come up with my normal appearance fee (which obviously has gone up with my recent PDGA win :cool:[attention Codorus people! :D]) so I'll be doing my high ranking government official thing on Saturday. Nonetheless I encourage Paul, Rich, Ski and everyone to journey out there on Saturday and pitch in a little bit. :cool:If you contact SBER in advance that you're coming they'll feed you. I did one of these Rouse Day projects with Christine a couple of years ago so I know of what I speak. I saw information on the Druid kiosk on who to contact at SBER, or Rachel may have that information. Finally there was some talk of a kissing booth. Now I don't know if that means Rachel or Bryan, but I see it as a win either way. ;)

A tongue job with B.G. ? count me in :p Thats after work mind you, around 1400 hrs... so i'll do what i can do for an hour... :D

Testicular fortitude? Well that sounds like a case for me. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Does it matter that I pre-reg'd weeks ago?

Who are some of these people, and more importantly where are you? Are you going to take this from an overweight, bald, middle aged, computer geek? :eek: :oAm I the only one brave enough to walk the gauntlet again?

One word Evil... <font color="red">Bluemont! </font>

Does this mean you are taking Goucher out of the running for best course in the state? :confused:

By the way Doug Lambdin...I own you! :p

[Dick]

there are even a bunch of people who aren't pdga members that could easily play this event. also it would be nice to draw some DE, PA and VA people, but they may not have the intestinal fortitude to compete with MD disc golf!

[hawkgammon]

intestinal fortitude



I don't have that today, but the event is a couple of weeks off. :D

I'm suprised that there are names on the list of people that I don't believe I've ever seen.

[Sharky]

I know them all but 6 if you need some help ;)

[hawkgammon]

I appreciate the offer Professor, but I'll allow them to continue to cower from the Tour. :D

[Dick]

heck, i know a few not even on the list that could do some damage. there's a guy named grant that is hot and cold, and i've definitely met a few guys over there who aren't pdga yet. someone needs to get out there this weekend and spread the word.

the ace pot survives and is at <font color="blue"> $292,</font> but jake and i made an executive decision to skim <font color="blue"> $40</font> to help sponsor the MD flag at USDGC. the pot starts next week at <font color="blue"> $253.</font>




<font color="blue"> $292-$40=$252 :confused: </font>

Remember people he's a numbers guy! :D

[md21954]

hey knucklehead,
what's it take for the ace pot to START? it's not up for grabs until somebody chips in a buck, hence, it STARTS at $253.
think before you speak, chit for brains.

oh well, i don't expect much from a guvment worker. :D

[imapackerfan]

You should have skimmed a little more than $40... then you'd be able to afford to pay me the winnings I gleaned from you at Paw Paw! :eek: :D

[md21954]

hey, if there was an ATM near the WVO, i'd have gladly paid on the spot. pm me your addy and i'll happily mail out two washingtons. i'll even cover postage :p

[Dick]

i think even with your 7 strokes you owe me 4$! muhahahaha

[hawkgammon]

Interesting technicality.

[md21954]

Interesting technicality.

about the ATM or your idiocy in math and logic? :confused:

[hawkgammon]

I was referencing the ace pot issue. This new deadbeat fact regarding you and bet payoffs popped in between posts.

How long after 12-15-04 will it take me to collect my lunch? Will your argument be that there are no restaurants near Baltimore? Shouldn't you automatically carry $30 in singles to any tourney to pay off your bets? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[hawkgammon]

So what would happen to Ace pot money if no one ever put in for it again?

[Sharky]

Sorry to interrupt this riveting discussion but I invite the Am Tour to play a couple of rounds at the Calvert monthly this Sunday. :D

[md21954]

thanks for getting back to subject. i wouldn't want anyone to miss how you prematurely pulled the trigger on calling a mistake without thinking something through. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

if nobody ever contributes to the ace pot again, it can never be hit and will sit forever. this ain't rocket science einstein. :p

[Dick]

i would stick to the deadbeat rant hawk. he has you on the acepot thing....it's obvious it starts at 253, since unless someone were to put in a dollar, nobody could win it that week. so it will be AT LEAST 253$....

and shouldn't you move ranting about your bet to the md2129875623087565876 vs. hawk thread?

[hawkgammon]

We don't play Monthlies as they aren't warm and friendly. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

It wasn't a rant in particular Rich, just a voiced concern in light of Paul's recent failures to pay-off. :D

Today: Seneca...1600

Sunday: Druid...1000 (wood tees)

I was referencing the ace pot issue. This new deadbeat fact regarding you and bet payoffs popped in between posts.




What's this? Uh oh, I guess my Wildcat will be late in coming.

[hawkgammon]

Curious afternoon at Seneca. There were a ton of guys out there playing in something called the Dog and Goat Tournament. Apparently this was a casual tourney for new players to get their feet wet. Several of them told me there were thinking of playing the Mid-Atlantic. They mentioned this while bowing worshipfully as I played through.

There were only two scary moments.

1. While playing #8 I see a group comprising of JG, JB, DJ, T2 and Gawler teeing off on #18. Think of a group of guys busting out of prison, and you have a good image of what that looked like.

2. On #14 I nearly deuced from 125' out hitting chains and nearly causing the group who had let me play through to soil themselves, and charge me in excitement.

Ended up shooting 56 from the blues.

<font color="red">Trouble On Hole 10 Begins The Unraveling </font>

Rockburn Course "Pro" Bill and I were the only ones to post for this mornings Druid Hill Tour Stop from the wood tees. Where was Mr. Druid @ 3:45?

Things were rolling along smoothly through the first nine with me missing a couple of deuces, and Bill collecting one on #5. Scores after nine were 28-28.

On #10 I turned over the TeeBird into what is left of the right rough, and end of taking a circle 5. I followed this up by taking a brain damaged 5 on #11 when I miss my putt for three, and in disgust flip the disc into the chains where it promptly spits right back out. :oHello Mr. 5. :mad:Bill picks up an additional stroke on each of the next two holes as his putting is suddenly automatic from 25'. :cool:Looking up from a deep hole, I manage to get three strokes back on holes 14-18, but the grave is too deep. :(

Final scores were:
Boyd-59
Hawk-62

Substantial work was done yesterday on the first pond, and based on the landscaping etc. going on now, the outcome of the project looks like it will be spectacular.

[Dick]

blues? is that long or short? mixed pins? i need to play seneca some to practice up. shot a 52 at rockburn today

[hawkgammon]

Blues are the short ones. I'll do the longs next weekend. A few are still long, but T2 said things are medium short to accomodate completing Wednesday doubles and after work rounds.

[md21954]

Where was Mr. Druid @ 3:45?

i had a family get together, but otherwise would have loved to been there.

So did everyone have fun? :)

[md21954]

played a round with jim b and marc c at the grove last night

scores i think were:
marc c +1
jim b +8
me +11

(i choked with two consecutive fives to let jim take the lead, otherwise, i was very happy with my game, particularly upshots, putting and a near ace on 3-- where i saved the deuce with a 40 footer)

now to why i'm posting-- the MD states and the coveted MD am champion title will be up for grabs nov 6/7th at pine grove. this will be a c-tier. there is a conflicting event at sherando on the 6th. start practicing your MTA!

[Sharky]

Don't know as I was not there :D

On another note, Dr E really jumped into the avatar bru ha ha aye :eek:

[hawkgammon]

How sad that the states finally get sanctioned, and I'll be in Florida playing the Lake Moccasin Am Open. :( I believe Dr. Evil is also making that journey. :cool:

[hawkgammon]

How shady of you to advertise the event and not particpant Professor. What if players came simply to bask in your presence? Isn't that a bait and switch?

As for Evil's avatar it's simply an animation of Mrs. Evil at work.

[md21954]

How sad that the states finally get sanctioned, and I'll be in Florida playing the Lake Moccasin Am Open. :( I believe Dr. Evil is also making that journey. :cool:

agreed :( now my md am champion title will be tainted because my favorite competition will not be present :D

[hawkgammon]

I hadn't realized you had climbed that far up the ladder to challenge Debo, Shannon and myself. I guess the update after Rich puts the Rockburn results in will show this! ;) Congrats considering your early disadvantage at missing the Fraud Leap.

[md21954]

ahhhhhh... you haven't thought this through. you don't believe i will stoop to any length to hold the title of maryland state champion, regardless of division? you don't believe i will cover the entry fee and transport enough crackheads from druhill to fill out another recreational division? or even stoop to the intermediate ranks at the last minute? :Dyou see... if you win MD states, you are a MD champ! :cool:

[hawkgammon]

Touche. I foolishly thought you were referencing the Series title.

Good luck with your next effort in the Recreational Division! :)

[md21954]

division is yet to be determined. that is highly classified information.

[hawkgammon]

Regardless we have seen that importing reverse ringers can work magnificiently. I offer yours and Kellys participation at the Rockburn Challenge as evidence. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[md21954]

if i hype the rec division, it might offer a perfect opportunity to bail to intermediate ;) or vice versa.

[hawkgammon]

Diabolical! :cool:I wonder how firmly Paxton is locked into that first Nov. weekend date? It's not on the PDGA Tour listings yet. :confused: I was going to skip it as an unsanctioned event, but if he could move it I would definitely play. I'm sure Evil would come as well.

[md21954]

all info i have is according to the savior himself, marc c. sanctioned or not, the md state champ title alone is worth the effort (or lack thereof :D).

[hawkgammon]

That would explain why the entire field of four slugged it out last year. :D

[Dick]

yeah, not much foresight or planning on the part of the MD state event. a 2 day event is unneccesary, unless disc golf is one day and field events the other.
i may go, as i may not have the money to follow the hawk tour down to sunny FL.
alternative may be to hit sherando or just hang out locally.

[Dick]

is there some avatar controversy i'm missing?

[Sharky]

Absolutely not :D

[Dick]

i figured somebady had to accept hawk's challenge. it's obvious he had thrown down the gauntlet.

[hawkgammon]

I'm wearing a gauntlet right now.

[md21954]

is that all you're wearing? :o
