MB - what happened to spincup.com?

[msbatka]

Same website with a new name and slightly updated look.

Are you giving any sort of discount to those who want to play both days? Just asking :)

[msbatka]

No discount, but you'll have my gratitude!

[amdiscgolfer]

And Here I thought I would be the first to sign up :)

Both Days should be a good time!!

Here's more info about this year's event. Players packages include two different custom stamped discs (an Innova disc in their new STAR plastic and a Discraft disc in their Elite-Z or new ESP plastic). Over $1,000 worth of sweet CTP prizes will be given away. The trophies are fantastic. $50 will be added to the ace pool each day (last year's sole ace earned someone over $230). This tournament is also a United States Amateur Disc Golf Championship qualifier. The tournament raffle has over $2,000 worth of great prizes including at least 4 baskets!!! And to top it off, the best part is that there will be 180 disc golfers there!!!

I forgot to mention that Lightning Golf Discs is sponsoring an awesome putting contest. Each player gets a shot during lunch or while final scores are being calculated. The winner gets a brand new DB-5 portable basket from Lightning!

Also, this year's custom stamped discs will include the newly released Elite-Z Surge from Discraft.

Less than 3 weeks out, registration has picked up considerably so don't delay. Check out http://www.s-curvediscgolf.com for more information including online registration.

Did you know that this will be the third largest sanctioned amateur tournament in the world this year behind only Bowling Green and Am Worlds (to the best of my knowledge and assuming a full field)? A big field means big points which help players qualify for the 2007 Am Worlds up in Milwaukee.

Check out http://www.s-curvediscgolf.com for more information and to register.

[msbatka]

The forecast calls for sunny skies with highs in the low 70s. About 100 players have already registered, but there are still plenty of spots left. Online registration is available at http://www.s-curvediscgolf.com through Friday afternoon. Players may register at the event if spots are still available.

Good to hear Mike!

For anyone that is NOT playing on Saturday, I could use some help installing 9 holes at the Village of Wales. Yes, 9 HOLES are going in the park out there.

The tee pads are dug out and I just ordered the concrete for the tees a few minutes ago. We are planning to meet around 8 or 9 am so give me a call if you can help. I'm heading out there right now to auger out the holes for the tee signs and for the baskets.

Talk about your chance to earn some course karma for Wales and then also for the Wham Bam on Sunday! Thanks guys.

Yeah! Two perfect weather days! 70's, sunny, and light brisk winds, a perfect weather for disc golfers!!

Three years of running top notch tournaments, Mike, Its one of my favorite tournaments, A big plus is that you do try to keep us well informed, inspite of inavailablity of interpreters. I wanted to say many thanks to you and hope many tournament directors follow you and Tdogg to ensure deaf disc golfers to be well informed with the tournament ongoings. That US Amateur Championship Inncolor Buzz disc are hanging gallantly on my office desk!! Sweet!!

Keep it up, Im gunning for the 4th Wham Bam Thank You AM

[msbatka]
