I cannot wait until this event.
It is amazing what superdave and pitchford can do at Ben Geren in such a short amount of time. So will the pins be in the longs one round and in the shorts in the other???

It sure is! :D
It helps that the Judge's son is a disc golfer... :D

[superd]

first round will be short course :D, second round will be longs. :eek: after the second round well do the ring of fire and all that other fun stuff. :) we will also be having a distance challange with a trophy or a driver (havent decided yet) going to the winners. :cool: this will be split up into divisions so each group has a chance to win. spread the word lets make this a killer tournament. :D:p :D

[AlmaWillie]

One of my boys says he may have a sponsor at least for holes. Tom, you and I talked some about this but what do we need to do to get it done? How much for what sponsorship, who do they contact, etc? Thanks and plan on a big Junior division this time!
The Alma boys will be coming to play!

[superd]

for as far as hole sponsers we are asking $100 per hole per year. the possible sponsers can get a hold of either tom or I.

how many jrs. do you think will show up?

[AlmaWillie]

We had ten out for the mini on Sunday, I would figure on at least that many for a real tourney. I think we had 19 at the Mayor's Invitational in Alma here a couple of months ago, but some of those won't have a way to get to FtSmith unless I can work something out with the parents.
How many would it take to split juniors by age? I have a couple of older boys who will easily beat any of my other juniors so a few may not come due to that.

[accidentalROLLER]

If they don't want to play juniors, they can play novice or intermediate(am). If they are beating juniors by several strokes, they should move up anyway. As for the tournament, I could probably give 1 or 2 people a ride there and back, since its on the way. As long as they get permission from their parents to go, we should be able to find a way to get them there.

[superd]

minus two strokes to the team player :D
(not in the tournament of course)

[AlmaWillie]

Hey, that is cool man. I may take you up on that if I have more than I can haul that need a ride. If you are up at Horseshoe I'll buy you a couple mulligans!! :D

But seriously thanks alot,
Willie

[m_conners]

I missed the sanctioned event you guys put on last year so I really want to make this one...will Kelly Ganzel be there?? I have his Ron Russell Comet and his white Pro Starfire.

[superd]

there will be plenty of fayeteville folks there so if ganzel cant make it we can get the discs to him.

[AlmaWillie]

Do you think we will have a junior division? If so how much do you figure for entry? As of right now I am seeing a lot of interest and I'm working on two other local schools to get clubs started. Just let me know what you think.

[accidentalROLLER]

SUPERDAVE, the flyers for the BG Blowout are going up around campus today or tommorrow! A couple in the Union, 1 in the physics building and one in engr. I will try to find out how I can get permission to put them up out at Northshore too. I am also going to see if Lewis and Clark and Play-It-Again Sports will post it by their discs.

[twoputtok]

Email one to me and I will make copies to hand out at our Ice Bowl Tomorrow.

[Billy_Ho]

I've gotta make this one!!! Loved that course!!! :D

Played Ben Geren for the first time Saturday. Well I played the first 15 holes. I really enjoyed the course and look forward to playing it again. I will say that I really dislike the narrow mandatory tunnel shot. Just my opinion but I think thats the only poor hole on the course. Loved the rest of it though!

Gonna try and make the Blowout my first PDGA tournament. Just have to decide which division to play in. I'm thinking Am/intermediate since i'm just now learning how to throw with my left hand.

[superd]

the mandatory is only on the short setup (A course). the park is set up on the longs (b course) right now. thats something that we need to fix.

[3902]

POOR HOLE?If you think that one's tough your in for big supprises in the future.Or should I say big dissapointments.That hole's a sinch compared to the tough holes out there.TIP.Learn the side arm roller. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Hey tom I finally got my pdga stuff in so I'm officially in the pdga,hey I would like to know about that sponser if you can tell me or you can email me at airedaleplayer12@yahoo.com,well i got to go so see ya later........oh and i will be at the ben geren blowout........see ya later.

I realized after I posted about that hole, that someone would probably disagree with me. Of course this is just my opinion and it's not worth a whole lot, but theres a big difference between a tough hole and a poor hole. I enjoy playing tough holes. When I stepped up to that hole and saw the mando I thought "you've got to be kidding me". I didn't know the mando wasn't in effect while the holes were in the long position though. Maybe my mind will change if I see it in the short position. I somehow doubt it, but maybe it will.

[Pack_Mule]

well what is wrong with it? i may do poorly on a hole and still like it a lot. allsitis is a righty hzyer or a lefty roller. if you are lefty play for your three. throw a putter into the gap and then throw a midrange or putter to the basket and get your three and get outta there. a three isn't going to lose strokes on that hole, at least not many.

What's wrong with the hole? Remember its just my opinion and i'm not meaning to offend anyone, least of all whoever designed that hole. Mainly its about those little trees all over the place that the tunnel goes through. Granted I've only played the course once, but it would seem like those trees would give random kicks and not necessarily depending on how good/bad the shot was. I think it would improve if that tunnel was going through trees that would just knock the disc down as opposed to kicking into a pinball machine.. :D

By the way I didn't score poorly on that hole. That was reserved for some of the other holes. :D

[superd]

the pdga received the money for the sactioning and insurance on friday. the tournament should be up on the tour hopefully by sometime next week. were deciding on artwork at the next wafda meeting (tues. night 7:30 joeys snuff n suds) theres some pretty cool designs, these discs are going to look good. already have 16 pre-regristrations. that means only 34 pre-reg discs left, if ya'll want a free disc sign up.

[superd]

checked out the tour today and the tournament is up and going through the sanctioning process, however long that takes. the contact number that is shown on the tournament is wrong the contact number is 479 522 6340
so far i have 17 pre-reg's. innova received the stamp design today, Im having custom rocs made for the tournament. so if you want a disc sign up. for the people out of state that will be attending the icebowl in jasper i will be there if you would like to sign up there.

on a side note i got a new bag and a set of quads today. looking foward to at least carrying more discs who knows if i will actually use them all. :D

[Pack_Mule]

sounds great dave when are you going to horseshoe.

[superd]

i'll be there for the ice bowl. get off work round 2 or 3 on fri and i'll be driving there after that. should be in the cabin that was right next to baileys last year if i remember the names right. the longhorn. :confused:

i will be up in fayeteville fri night for the jay farrar show at the majestic :cool:if any golfers are going to be there. show starts at 9 jay will be on at 1030. tickets are 20 at door 15 in advance.

[Pack_Mule]

It's only a week away, i can't wait. I hope i don't get beat by a younger junior like blake. But in all honesty i will probably not play well because of to many Baileys. But i think they make pills for gettin' it up.

[TeeBirdPoop]

Would someone from the NWA area be interested in heading down to Ben Geren on Wednesday. I was wanting to head down there for a couple of rounds. Practice up for the Blowout next Saturday. If interested please reply, send message, or call @ 479-283-3978. I have an xtra seat if interested in riding along. Peace out /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[superd]

[superd]

[jeffash]

I have put up a $25.00 cash CTP prize :)

It's a different kind of CTP :confused:

Whoever shoots Closest To Par will win it! :p

That's right. Shooting a 54/54 could earn you $25.00 CASH! :o

[wforest]

[JDiel]

just wanted to say thanks, Ben Geren is a sweet course, I really liked the layout in both positions.

the tournament was well run, and a lot of fun.... thanks to Jeff Ash for the "closest to par" money :cool:

hope to see you all at the next one.......James

[jeffash]

thanks to Jeff Ash for the "closest to par" money :cool:





How did that turn out?
Did your 108 beat my 108?
I had 4 birdies 4 bogies on 36 holes.
Were you closer to par than that? :)

[accidentalROLLER]

I just wanted to 2nd that! Awesome job running the tourney superDave! I thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. It was great to play with Swygert, James, Kevin and that novice with 2 discs that was showing us up. I got my first ever win in a sancioned event by playing par golf. Watch out Advanced players, here comes the Donkey from the Dirty South.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

[m_conners]

When you guys see Wayne over there, let him know we are out working on his course. :confused:



:o:o:o:o

[JDiel]

I don't know, i asked them to compare scorecards, but they had already put them up. and since you had already left they just went ahead and gave me the cash. :eek:

going back over the rounds in my head, i can only remember 4, but i'm not positive :confused:

[jeffash]

Hmmmm.... maybe you got more electoral votes. ;)

[sschumacher]

When you guys see Wayne over there, let him know we are out working on his course. :confused:



:o:o:o:o



Actually it's my course now.... :cool:... The claymores have been planted. The bouncing betties are ready to go. The booby traps have been set and the Fur-patties are ready to be stepped on. I expect a lot of DG'ers to be MITW's (Missing In The Woods) at Haikey now. Just in time for GCD. :cool: Sometimes it pays to be on the work crew. ;)

[superd]

dude the vietnam war ended a long time ago, or was it the war of 1812 for the furdog :D:Dthere is no need for that amount of explosives on a disc golf course........that is unless andy will be out playing that day. :D:D:D:D:confused: who's andy? :confused:

[superd]

scores for the blowout are unoffically posted on the wafda site.

ash for the answer to the ctpar it was a tie.

[jeffash]

ash for the answer to the ctpar it was a tie.



I've spoken with the guy that put up the $25.00 CTPar. His contention is that the spirit of the CTPar was broken by the inconsiderate jerk who tied for the CTPar but left the tournament prior to the awards ceremony.

In other words- Jeff Ash has decided that Jeff Ash doesn't deserve a penny of the $25.00 CTPar that Jeff Ash donated.

[accidentalROLLER]

That's awful sweet of you Jeff. James deserved to win something... other than braggin' rights over darrell for 6 months. Great guy, and great golfer, the wind just had his number.
