MaceMan Doubles- Tuesday, August 29th

[jeffash]

Brian Mace is going to be in town on Tuesday, August 29th, to conduct a MaceMan Doubles event.

Here is what information I have from Brian so far:

"Mace Man doubles is random draw doubles with a pro/am split. These events accomplish many things but the main goal of the event is to eliminate the intimidation factor that comes with being a new player. New players, as I am sure you are aware, think that they aren't good enough to play tournaments or interact with "the good players". Because they are new and not so skilled they feel like they don't have a chance. This is where the pro/am split comes in. This means that a pro or advanced player will get a partner that is at the beginner to intermediate level. This opens the door to the new player. It introduces them to the experienced players, the people that organize events in the area, as well as the players that can give a variety of advice including pointing them in the right direction for equipment. In short it gives them an opportunity to join your group of local players.

The entry fee for this event is $10 and pays back 100%. The payout is in Mace Man merch. This gives me an opportunity to get out and in front of the players in your area."

Mace has a lot of excellent disc golf merchandise, as well as a wide array of PLASTIC!
:D

Will Brian be playing? ( I would like to play a round with him)

<font color="red">I'm not sure if he's playing, or not.</font>

How many people are we expecting?

<font color="red">I'm not sure how many players will be there. There are flyers posted at the U of A HPER Building (in 7 locations), and at Lewis and Clark. I've passed out flyers at the park, talked to a few friends, and Kelly Ganzel has also been passing out flyers. It's funny- I couldn't put flyers at Northshore promoting an event being held there, but I did get the U of A to put up flyers promoting a non-U of A event. </font>

Is Brian making a speical trip up here to do this?

<font color="red">Fayetteville is one of the places he wanted to come to on his 2006 MaceMan Doubles Tour. I rented the course from 3-9pm so he could do this. </font>

We need info!!! :D
<font color="red"> All ya gotta' do is ask...</font>

Hopefully I'll be able to make it up to Fayetteville for this event. I'm gonna feel like a loser playing as an intermidiate, seeing as how i've been playing for 8 years. Oh well....i'm used to feeling like a loser. :D

Watch out though i'm getting better at this left handed throwing business. Seriously, watch out, cause i'm not sure which way it's gonna fly!

[evandmckee]

I'll be there with enough strokes to count as 2 players :D

[jbolstead]

Kyle - Are you game to team up for this?

It's amazing how two 970-players become pretty good when it comes to dubs..... Anyway, I can't make this, but I might be auditing a company in Rogers next month. So, I will keep you up to date.

[bulldog399]

Yeah man keep me posted. Will you be here for the week? that is awesome

[jbolstead]

Nah - I won't be there tomorrow, but I am glad you feel for it. I will find out this week if the audit goes through. If so, I should be the one going to Fayetteville!

[superd]

i'll be riding shotgun with the slinger so ya'll can count me in. :D

Unfortunately, i'm not going to make it this afternoon after all. I've got to be a substitute bus driver today. Oh well.

[jeffash]

:( Too bad, Jerry.
BTW- Have you had any parents show up with loaded rifles this year? :D

[jeffash]

Great turnout at Northshore last night. 28 players! :D
Thaks to all of the participants, especially those of you who "stepped up" to the A pool in order to allow an even split beween pools.
Thank you for coming to see us Brian!
Many happy returns!! :)

[evandmckee]

Yesterday evening was a blast!! Thank you mAceman and everyone else who helped with it and who came out to play :)

[Pack_Mule]

This was a great event! I even cashed! Wow Kyle way to man up. We really got a lot accomplished. Thank you Mace.

[keldog]

what did Kyle do?let you take the money?

No loaded rifles this year. Although if this big buck keeps showing up, i'm sure that will change.

[Pack_Mule]

[superd]

i've been in the wilderness for three months and me and my partner (who happens to use a gasmask bag for a disc golf bag :cool:) shot a 2 down. so does this mean i need to play pro /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
