arlingtondiscgolf.com is up!!! (http://www.arlingtondiscgolf.com)

now, thats massive amounts to be done, but the start has been made.

ideas for content and features/functionalities are most welcome... we can program just about anything you can think of, so lets create something great :)

[cgflesner]

Nice job. :)

maybee we can add a section for the scores for the previous weeks cash spots, but that is a great start.

[my_hero]

LMAO..... i especially like hole #4:John's demise. :DEven though i've played it very very well lately. Just had ONE bad series and it's my demise?!? :p

[jeterdawg]

Great job on the website. Hopefully it only gets better with time, but for now it's much better than nothing!

Anyone know what the plan is for VPO this year? Pro/Am together? If not, which weekends? The traditional weekends are coming up fast!

[sandalman]

i got some placeholders for those ideas up for ya.

toolen, if we can get a copy of the teesigns before they get placed, it would be awesome. i have super high end scanners/copiers available, no problem.

[gotcha]

Looks great, Pat! Good job... :)

The 2006 ADGA Club Championship info would be valuable. Though I won't be in attendance for the event, I would like to renew my annual membership and save $5!

Thank you!

Jerry

[sandalman]

cool idea. i think i can at least get a membership form from toolen soon. i havent heard anything about Clubs or VPO yet at all :(

i'll definiteily try to get a Membership form up there in the next week... hopefully sunday.

[my_hero]

Me thinks a picture of the Great PepperTee should be on the front page.

[vinnie]

Had a great time in Arlington this weekend.
You folk are on my very cool list :D

The country club has help many clubs and events and now we are asking for sponsorship for the raffle and ctps that would uniquely represent your club or your business. Examples entries to club held events, club represented discs, or my favorite CASH! Please contact me or http://www.twinparkscountryclub.com/ to help.

Possibly , we may settle the age old question.....
Innova -vs- Discraft
This sunday I have accepted a little friendly side bet.
I will be @ the Vet for the MINI. I will be abandoning my beloved Innova plastic, and competing with some of the Competitions plastic. My Hero will be providing the plastic for this little challenge. If I am convinced that Discraft plays better than Innova, I will be wearing a " MY HERO WAS RIGHT " tee shirt @ this years VPO. Should be interesting! In all honesty, in the current format I usually shoot anywhere from -2 to -5 under par. If I can match or better -3, prepare to see me in a new t-shirt @ the VPO. If My Hero is wrong, his inferiority will be enough to satisfy me! We shall see come Sunday...... To keep it fair, we will play on the same card, just in case I tank, I will have no room to bash Discraft. Should be interesting!

[dre]

so if you shoot well are going to stop throwing inova??? :confused:
that would suck..
the good news is i think i have a home for your inova stash.. :D
try to get me on that card.. k

Well, we shall see!
It would be hard to put down that QUALITY plastic.
But, if it improves my game ( I dont think it will ) I would consider. Then I would have John to thank for that!

[my_hero]

You are crazy. Do you really expect to shoot the same or better with plastic you've NEVER tried? Even some of our sports best need a small window for a learning curve. One mini will prove nothing.

Ever heard of "It's the indian not the arrow?" You need to graduate from "lil 'injun" school and become an Indian! :D

I dont think it is going to be that difficult.........
As long as I have an opportunity to get a couple of practice throws in, it will be all gravy baby! Essentially , if I can identify some similarities between what I throw, and what I will be throwing sunday, it should be o-tay! If you are right, it will only make you look better! Like I said, we shall see! This is going to be fun.
Just for shiggles, what kind of stroke varience are you expecting?

[my_hero]

First of all..... you say -2 to -5 is the norm for you in the course's current set up (pretty much all long). Embellishing a little? :o Those would all be close to 1000 rated rounds, no?

I think with molds you've NEVER thrown....and discs that are brand new(not seasoned like your entire bag)..... That Even par would be Great!...for you.... :D :p

OOps, i forgot they moved a bunch o-stuff..... :o
BTW- majority of my plastic has about 2 to 3 rounds of play, so seasoned????? not so much.
If we are playing all longs ( including the new basket placements on 7 and 18) I will be happy with even! If the wind is anything like it was on Wednesday, I will be real happy with even!
THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN!
I like your gumption! John is a man whom stands behind his product. I hope you are right, @ worst it will make my game better!

[my_hero]

I like your balls!

did i just say that?

I like your balls!




I like my balls too! Especially the left one! The right one is ok, but not as cool as the left one!

[JHouston]

Fagg$$$$

I think you might want to take a look in the mirror.
We are comfortable with out heterosexuality, that is why we feel inclined to discuss my fabulous balls!
Where as you are uncomfortable with two men discussing my fabulous balls, you may have some homofobic issues.....Is it dark in your closet????? :o:D

[my_hero]

Do you have a mouse in your pocket? or a G-pig maybe?

www.UrbanDictionary.com (http://www.UrbanDictionary.com) defines "balls" as
Courage or bravery

Pardon that is supposed to be " our " heterosexuality, not " out " , it is amazing what one little typo can do to change the context of a statement

[sandalman]

anyway...

what happened at the vet today with the QUALITY plastic? i bet LL shot like 5 over :D

[discgolfdog]

Hero -1,JD even, Peppertee/doggy +1. LL cashed at +3.

anyway...

what happened at the vet today with the QUALITY plastic? i bet LL shot like 5 over :D



oh yee of little faith.
I still cashed with a bunch o' forigen plastic.
I will say this, there were only 4 or 5 strokes that i would attribute to being unfamiliar with the plastic. Other than that there was not too much difference! In all actuallity , i probably would have shot about even to one down if I had my BELOVED innova plastic. Thanks My Hero, that was a lot of fun. The shirt is in the works!

[sandalman]

i admire your optimism. mere mortals would recoil from predicting after the event that their favorite plasstic would turn them from about a 940 rated players into a 1000 rated player

in truth, the discraft plastic raised your rating for the day. based on the five reported results, you shot a 956 rated round, about 1.5 strokes better than the rating you established using other-than-QUALITY plastic.

if you had shot 54, your rating would have been 980. which leads me to wonder why you are so sure that yesterday, October 22, 2006, you would have shot 4 strokes better than your established rating. hmmmm...

Kind of a moot point, comparing my player rating to my performace on 1 round. You and I have the same rating, and you also know that you will shoot above your rating @ the Vet. As will I. Had I been using the plastic I throw regularly, I would have not made the same costly mistakes I did yesterday........ It is all irrelevant....

What kind of score did you put up yesterday PAT???

mere mortals would recoil from predicting after the event that their favorite plasstic would turn them from about a 940 rated players into a 1000 rated player





Its the Indian NOT the arrow. I know my game, and my plastic. Plus, I do not know many players that are willing to forego their usual bag and play a round with the competitions plastic. I wish there was an instant Graemlin of somebody patting themselves on the back :D

P.S.- I am stepping off of my high horse for now! It was fun! AND, I am holding up my end of the bargain, be looking for my spiffy new shirt @ the VPO...

[sandalman]

you know very well i couldn't play yesterday due to other commitments, so what's your point?

but if i would have shot, i would have won ith a -3. :cool:

[my_hero]

It was fun. Lee has game and impressed me on more than one occassion with plastic he's never even picked up before.

We also decided that 20mph winds raised everyone's score 3-4 strokes, so with the windicap, Lee shot -1. Well enough to print a shirt that says something like "I cashed using an ALL DISCRAFT bag!" :D

We also decided, and claydog pointed it out, that a shirt saying "My_Hero was right" is not needed b/c My_Hero is always right! :D

you know very well i couldn't play yesterday due to other commitments, so what's your point?

but if i would have shot, i would have won ith a -3. :cool:



My bad, I thought I saw you there........

My_Hero is always right! :D



One exception, The Z-predator is nothing like a champion firebird, IMO

[cgflesner]

Ya, it is slower IMO

and it tears up my hand on side arm shots.

The ESP Avenger is the best overstable driver on the market right now though u should check it out.

[my_hero]

:eek: Not when you throw it like you do. :eek:

and it tears up my hand on side arm shots.





You too, that thing hurts......... It seens to have a touch more turn to it also. But that could be because it's just slower, and I throw hard on the flick.

I was impressed with the z-extreme, just like my Viper!

The ESP Avenger is the best overstable driver on the market right now though u should check it out.



That thing is STABLE. My Hero tried to warn me a couple times, but did I listen HELL NO!

[sandalman]

what weight ESp avenger were you trying out?

ps - you did see me there... i had to pick up some discs from john, then had to cruise.

[seewhere]

Z FLICK would compare more to the firebird. Predator is SLOW

what weight ESp avenger were you trying out?




It was a max weight, and I believe it was in z plastic.
It reminded me of a monster with less turn.

Z FLICK would compare more to the firebird. Predator is SLOW

Found that out after the round :(

[dannyreeves]

slow = predictable

pred = the shiit :D

pred = the shiit :D



Ditto- Sorry John!
I am lacking in the finess aspect of my game, so this disc was not much use to me! But the Flash was fun, it was only useful on 2 holes, but it impressed me on hole 6.

[sandalman]

so your ESP Avenger was Z plastic? john, straighten Lee out on the differences between ESP and Z plastic :)

i can see a heavy Z Avenger being a bit stable... but the ESP not as much

[sandalman]

i use the flashon 6 also... as a lefty. also on three to annie around the trees and glide left, on 8 to go over the trees and on 10 to ride an annie up the elevation change.

[junnila]

All the ESP Avengers I have thrown have been noticably more overstable than their Z counterparts. The ESP Avenger reminded me of a brand new X Pred.

I dont think you understood. The Predator is one of my favorite discs.

[seewhere]

we understood but you have no SNAP :)

[dannyreeves]

we understood but you have no SNAP :)



Ha. And you have no accuracy.









































































































or putt! :p ;)

[sandalman]

his observations about your SNAP are pretty ACCURATE! :D

pred = the shiit :D



Ditto- Sorry John!




I dont think you understood. The Predator is one of my favorite discs.



U R right, I should pay a little more attention!
Idiot. Gosh !!! ( that is the only Napoleon Dinamite you will ever get out of me! )

[seewhere]

you made me scroll down that far for something i already knew.




















































































































azzhole :D

just thought I would change the subject :D

SOrry John, Discraft is # 1.5

[my_hero]

Tard! :p

True, true!
And yes I am a tard!
I finally had a good laugh today, thanks!

[dre]

i just wanted to thank you guys for the most entertaining round in a while. i just cant believe that lee beat me with a bag full of stuff he didn't know... some times i hate that guy..
i hear he's #$*&$!... ;)

I cracked his secret code .....
#$*&$- roughly translates to - a man-beast in the sack!
No, i hear that guy is a real ******! Nice drive on one BTW!

[cgflesner]

what weight ESp avenger were you trying out?




It was a max weight, and I believe it was in z plastic.
It reminded me of a monster with less turn.



I think that he was asking me Lee, and it was a 173 almost as overstable as my Champion Firehawk.

I think you may have the best avtar on the MB. That killer kitty makes me laugh!

Andre had a great drive on 13, it just went about 80 ft. too far.

True dat, and his ( only ) birdie on 17 was also pretty groovy!

[discgolfdog]

I forgot about that birdie on 17. That was very nice.

I know he was happy with it! Andres is my first dg'n buddy ever. Every round we play is just good time's ! I wish he had more time to play! Dude is pretty kick arse with a roc in his hand!

[my_hero]

....A rock.....I .wonder how good he'd be with a disc in his hand.

The title is for a bro from another mo.

Yes, i know Vinnies sig.
BTW, I just placed a call and left a message @ the Star Telegram. Hopefully they will make it out to cover the VPO.
Mabey they could get a pic of me in my new tee!

Perhaps they could cast a positive light on the DFW disc golf scene, and all of its wonderful golfers! And some of those other guys too.........

[sandalman]

only club members are allowed to get their pictures in the paper :D

only club members are allowed to get their pictures in the paper :D


I could give two $hitts about seeing my ugly mugg in the paper. I would like to see the VPO get some attention. Mabey they would jump @ the idea of interviewing the Oversight Director for the PDGA............. Then you would be famous! And all the world could drop to their knees in the presence of the almighty SANDALMAN........... ( QUE DRAMATIC MUSIC NOW ) .............. :D

It just seems that there is soo much that could be done to promote the local scene, and not a lot of people doing it. If I could contribute a fraction of a percent , I am happy.
Member or not.

[sandalman]

i like that! but i'm not oversight director. try to keep up here :eek:

btw, it would be nice if it works. we've had periodic stuff in the paper over the years, but the last couple things i sent in never got anywhere. they've sent photographers out to numerous events.

now that you are throwiing QUALITY you'll be hitting a lot more aces. you really need to join before you hit an non-member ace... that would suck.

[my_hero]

I dont think he has changed any of his bag even though he shot higher than his rating with stuff he's never tried b4. :D

[cgflesner]

That would be a big mistake to swithc right before the VPO. I missed 4 straight cashes after ceader hill because gate way was trying to sponsor me. Better watch out come VPO because my game is coming around. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[my_hero]

True, you really shouldn't mess with your bag within 1 month of a tournament. Of course for me, one month of golf is only 4-6 rounds lately. :confused:

For those of you intersted, my bag has changed none.
I will stick to Innova Champion Discs, # 1 in disc golf.

BTW, Easymoney, I am rooting for you man. CHris tells no lies, his game is rock solid. I think his last couple of events proves that, especially his rally back to 12th @ southern nationals. It takes a lot of gumption to rally that hard.....

I dont think he has changed any of his bag even though he shot higher than his rating with stuff he's never tried b4. :D



BTW, I consistantly shoot higher than my rating @ the Vet.
That course meshes well with what I got.

[my_hero]

Innova can be #1 in disc golf(the red headed step child of sports)....so long as they are not "Discraft: the WORLD LEADER in disc sports." :D

Innova can be #1 in disc golf(the red headed step child of sports)....so long as they are not "Discraft: the WORLD LEADER in disc sports." :D


No arguments here!

[cgflesner]

Innova can be #1 in disc golf(the red headed step child of sports)....so long as they are not "Discraft: the WORLD LEADER in disc sports." :D



If that was true then why hasn't discraft won USDGC yet?

Innova can be #1 in disc golf(the red headed step child of sports)....so long as they are not "Discraft: the WORLD LEADER in disc sports." :D



If that was true then why hasn't discraft won USDGC yet?


valid question

[my_hero]

b/c the usdgc is a disc golf event you idiot savant. :D

didn't someone just say innova was #1 in the red headed step child division of disc sports?? :DLOL :p

I think mini golf will be taking over the red headed stepchild throne! Disc golf is more of a dirty blonde headed step child. Or you could call it ball golf's mullet headed, beer gutted distant cousin.

ANybody coming out to the VET tonight?

[dannyreeves]

I melt.

[my_hero]

I melt.



LOL. The only things that melt in rain is Sugar and Poo. Which are you?

I have the shirt, I repeat I have THE shirt!

[my_hero]

:eek:

[my_hero]

Let me guess. It says "I shot higher than my rating and cashed with an all Discraft bag.....but avonni is still #1." :confused: :D :p

Nope!
Kept it simple!
MY HERO WAS RIGHT..........

Still playing higher than my rating with disc golf's number 1 plastic! INNOVA CHAMPION DISCS, LOWERING SCORES SINCE 1983

[seewhere]

Kept it simple!

that is Millinium's SLOGAN Theif :D

Kept it simple!

that is Millinium's SLOGAN Theif :D



Have their lawyers call my lawyers!

[my_hero]

KISS=Keep it simple stupid

I did!

[sandalman]

hey limp arm lee, you shoulda stuck with the CRAFT dude. assuming you shot a 56 today (i didnt hear the exact number), your i-plastic got you a 930 rating... 1.5 strokes WORSE than your rating. QUALITY gave you 1.5 BETTER.

john's -6 was a 1015 or so... sweet

[my_hero]

He's in a slump. *wink wink* I hope to shoot a few 1015 this weekend.

My round yesterday was over from the first tee shot!
Just one of those days....... We all have them from time to time. I would have prefered not to have " one of those rounds" 1 week after my discraft challange. But, that's the way it goes! Oh well.................
Let the Innova bashing begin!

[sandalman]

we dont bash the plastic. we bash the thrower. :cool:

Let the player bashing begin.............
I know I sucked arse yesterday. :(

We live to " boom " another day!

[sandalman]

so waht did you shoot? John thinks it was +3.

[my_hero]

John thinks it was +3.

That was just his 1st hole..... :D

Incidentally, i golfed with Charles Cox, Gilbet Casas, and David Covalt. I haven't laughed so much during a round in long time. There were times when one of the three would throw a bad shot and the other two would encourage it to get worse! Brutal!!! :D

so waht did you shoot? John thinks it was +3.


Honeslty , I did not bother to ask my score. It was awful.
Lets put it this way, with 4 holes to go ( 2 thru 5 )
I rolled every shot, even some putts. Should have seen the spike anhyzer roller over the junk on 3 , it was fun. Nobody could believe that I cleared the rough...

[my_hero]

In that case it was probably sub 800 rated. :p

Dont know, dont care! Just was not feeling it yesterday.
Oh well..... John- did you take advantage of your last night of freedom???? I noticed a little extra cash in your pocket? :D

[my_hero]

HAHA....yea, so the wife and kid have been in LA for the last 5 days. Somehow i did not manage to make it to the Jiggly Room with all of the $1 bills i've saved, and (this is really sad) I never stayed up past midnight!!! I'm officially old and can not wait to play masters. :D

Oh well, the Jiggly Room is fun, yet extemely unproductive!
Save that money for the Players Cup! Im sure there is a little less " jiggle " in the sunshine state! :D

[seewhere]

can not wait to play masters

me too :D t-minus 2 months

PROPS TO ALL THE ADGA CREW, THE COURSE LOOKS GREAT!
ALL THAT MULCH IS VERY NICE!

[bslamoreaux]

Speaking of which, I'm be out by lunch time on Friday with the pole saw working on champion holes 2 and 8 in case anyone wants to help...... Hint hint... :cool:

Get in touch with Jerry POwers, he should be @ the course by that time...

[discgolfdog]

How big is this polesaw that it takes more than one person to operate? :eek:

[jasonc]

I'll show you later tonight :o.

HA! knew that one was coming!

[sandalman]

i'm sure you used all of your skills to make sure it did, too!

:D

So are you guys out on teams this year?

[bigbadude]

I just heard what happen with Gene Barfield, my condolence to the Family.

Dont forget boys and girls, Team golf friday. That is if you can get your fat arse off of the couch........ I believe they are meeting @ the south pavillion around 9:30.

What more do I need to say.............
Cant argue with the numbers!

BTW- David Rose, way to friggin go man. That was the cleanest ace I have ever seen!

:D

You suck John. Once again, again, again, you were right!
And I am not afraid to let the world know!

[gnduke]

I always wondered how John could throw so far with so little effort. :cool:

I always knew I was trying harder than he was. :D

[my_hero]

Then how come i've been hurt since Dec/2005? Must have been trying to hard.... :confused: :D

[gnduke]

Nah, you're just starting to age like the rest of us.....

The bad part isn't how easy it is to get hurt, but how long it takes to recover...

[dannyreeves]

Then how come i've been hurt since Dec/2005? Must have been trying to hard.... :confused: :D



It is from that big belly!

[my_hero]

Yes Duke. Claydog has informed me already. Playing in your division is a lot like a Nascar race; it's not always about winning, it's more about just finishing the race. Unfortunately, i finally see what he's been saying all of these years.

Big Bellies Rule!

John, our convo Friday night was very vague . Are there any details I need to be aware of ? What happened with the meeting? Just curious...

Does this name ring a bell to any of you old schoolers?

[sandalman]

hey Lee, where were you on Sunday? are you banned from the Vet also?

[discgolfdog]

John, our convo Friday night was very vague . Are there any details I need to be aware of ? What happened with the meeting? Just curious...


We <font color="orange">VOLUNTEERED </font> you to take over pretty much everything.

hey Lee, where were you on Sunday? are you banned from the Vet also?



Spent some quality time out @ Cedar Hill.
It was nice and peaceful. If I had played like I did @ cedar hill, I would have all of your mini money...

But I will see you this week fo' sho!

[discgolfdog]

Are we starting Who Owns The Hole Filthyfeet?

[sandalman]

i spose so. i need to print out some OTFH cards. and figure out the end date. and set up the series online. and all so john can miss hole 4 over and over and over again.

So guys.... As the nominated " Director of blah blah blah "
I was doing some brain storming and wanted to run something by you guys. In efforts to promote the amature attendance at the weekly mini's , I would like to propose a player development program. The player development program could work similar to ball golf concepts. Weekly tracking of scores to start, so that interested players could monitor their progress. Also , I was thinking that one Sunday a month, we could group together true amature players to play with a designated professional. The idea is that the pro could work with the am's to help their game along. Via the score doc's , we could watch ADGA players get better . And have the stats to prove it . It would take a commitment from several course pro's , but it could work. The idea could eventually yeild a higher am turnout and additional monies generated for the club. Also, the weekly stats could assist with selection for things like Texas Teams or Club challanges. Should one of the best disc golf courses in the metroplex yeild the best players ?? I think so. Could the club make that happen , I think so. Feedback?

Feedback?

[sandalman]

starting with the tracking... who is gonna type all the numbers into the computer every sunday?

Well, this is a promotional issue , so I would assume the
Director of Promotions would handle this .

[sandalman]

dude, we have like 50 members. what are you talking about "director of promotions"? we dont need a "director of promotions", we need a "Director of Starting before 10 freakin 20" :D

[gregbrowning]

Sign me up unless it means I will get too good before ke'Ohana time rolls around.

dude, we have like 50 members. what are you talking about "director of promotions"? we dont need a "director of promotions", we need a "Director of Starting before 10 freakin 20" :D



Well , I guess I have been mis-informed. I was under the impression that Club official elections were coming up soon . I was also under the impression that a Director of Promotions position was created . As per the paperwork Jason sent me . Now I am confused . :confused:

BTW- when I run the mini's @ z-boaz, we ALWAYS start on time. ALWAYS!

[sandalman]

elections? i have no idea what you are talking about. i cant remember any elections since 1998 when i got here. but maybe thats changed/changing.

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

I guess i need to speak with Jason. I though you knew more about this .

[sandalman]

i couldnt go to the friday nite meeting cuz it was my bday and i had Mavs tix... so i am out of the loop.

[gregbrowning]

As a current member, shouldn't I be on some sort of mailing list to find out about these kinds of things? :confused:

[sandalman]

that presumes the existance of a membership list.

i REALLY want to get this stuff online... membership list, scorecards, announcements, etc... cuz right now we are looking LAME!

[gregbrowning]

Let me know if I can be of assistance.

Interesting .
Talk to Jason..... He knows more than I do.
Apparently I have been nominated for the Director of Promotions position, so I am told. I was trying to get a jump start on pulling the ADGA out of the hole. We shall see. :confused:

that presumes the existance of a membership list.

i REALLY want to get this stuff online... membership list, scorecards, announcements, etc... cuz right now we are looking LAME!



Agreed . I was under the impression that ADGA was ( at one point in time ) the largest club of it's kind. I would like to see that restored .

More important , I would like to see the clubs premier event , VPO, bigger and better than ever for 07 . For that to happen, it needs to start NOW.

As a current member, shouldn't I be on some sort of mailing list to find out about these kinds of things? :confused:



I think the Director of Promotions would also be incharge of a member newsletter.

[sandalman]

shouldnt you be a member first?

That's part of the reason we're in trouble in the first place.

Yes indeed. I know in 1997-99 we had 225+ members.

[gregbrowning]

I really want to get involved with this. If it means that I need to run for some sort of officer position, I would be happy to volunteer to do that. I love the Vet and I want to do anything I can to make it and the ADGA and the VPO better. Anyone who has the inside info please let me know what I can do.

stay involved .
best thing anybody can do!

[discgolfdog]

The main thing is Jason is taking over the money unless somebody doesn't like him for that position and would like to run against him. It's a conflict if interest for Terry to keep the books and run the club (and just too much for one person). The position that nobody has really volunteered for is course maintenance. D.Q. was doing it but then I.Q. came along. Don and his helpers were responsible for getting the stone walls in place to curb erosion problems on those holes. (Way to go D.Q.) The position would work with Terry and Jason on moving baskets, getting new pins dug and general course issues.
Ginetta has the skeleton club charter with positions that folks can run for. Get with Jason, John, Terry, Skip or myself on Sunday for a breakdown.
Several ideas were kicked around on raising more money for the club, one of which was to bring back the WOLFPACK on Saturday mornings. We donated $2,000 one year for the VPO. That money hasn't been there the last few years, but we still tried to do the same type of payout for VPO. Therein lies the problem.

Well said.

[lauranovice]

I would LOVE to see the return of the wolf pack.

[gregbrowning]

I don't want any of the folks involved to take this the wrong way, but I can understand why the Am turnout and involvement is low these days.

Regardless of any of the factors involved, I had planned on joining the ADGA when I moved back to Texas a few months ago, but I can't say the welcome was exactly warm. I know that the core group of ADGA folks that have been doing this for a long time is a pretty tight-knit bunch, but from the first mini I played, I felt a definite lack of inclusion. People have got to make newcomers feel welcome if you want them to keep coming back. Instead, what I have seen was the same foursomes playing on the same cards every time and whomever is left that people don't know gets put on their own card(s). I like Lee's idea of putting a group of Ams together with a Pro every so often. At the very least, you would get ams out there once a month and eventually you would get to know a few of our names :eek: and maybe even find out that we are people that are worth playing a round with.

[my_hero]

Clay and i used to run minis where every 4th - 5th week we would mix the cards. It was a lot of fun, and it was a way to meet some of the newcomers. I would also like to see this happen again.... :D

[my_hero]

Oh...i have your super pimp'n 150g Z-Flicks.

[sandalman]

thats a great idea. i would like less of the same cards also. but this is recreation for most of us, and we want to recreate with our best buds. so i can see why people make all those ^*&*&*%*$%'ing card requests :D gosh, you dont put the right people on the right cards these days and they get all grumpy and whine and moan the entire round.

as far as newcomers go, yeah, we should do better. i remember my first year here, 1998, and i showed up to minis that sometimes ran over 100 players! no matter, Kelly Hicks rememberd my name the second time i showed up. maybe he was gifted, cuz i cant remember names half that well.

another part of it is the grouping of everyone into basically Open field. i think thats one reason we dont have as large an Am field anymore - they dopnt wanna play with 2 other people, and they know they'll get stomped in open.

[discgolfdog]

Mixing divisions (cards) is a good suggestion. We actually used to do that every so often. I think what you're talking about wasn't as much of a problem a few years ago mainly because of Wolf. It doesn't really matter if you're any good when there's a wolfpack. EVERYBODY plays on one card. That's when you get to know everyone's names and personalities. Everybody gets bagged on regardless of their ability.
Any other suggestions that anybody has to make new players feel more welcome would be appreciated. I know John and I have both taken new players onto #1s fairway after a mini this past year to give free pointers, and we're always happy to help newbies out in that way.
I think veteran players in our club are at times hesitant to offer advice unless asked, but are more than willing.

[my_hero]

Good points, but it still didn't answer today's impossible question:

Which one of you came over. played with me wife, and broke my favorite desk lamp? :eek: :DLamoreaux????!!!!

[discgolfdog]

Once we get the Innova flowing again and there's some plastic the ams want, they will return.

[discgolfdog]

It wasn't on the desk. I mean that kid aint' mine.

[gregbrowning]

Doc, playing with a Pro will help you to eventually play like a Pro... It has certainly helped my game.

i did NOT break the lamp!

[lauranovice]

I have heard from many people complain in the last couple years about how clique-ish ADGA seems. I remember when I started, everyone knew my name. However, that is possibly because I'm a girl. I do think Wolf helped a bunch though. It lessens the pressure on a new player. I think it is also benefitial to players of all levels because it teaches not to be so uptight. So many people complain about distractions during play, whether it be someone standing in their line of sight while putting, or simply a couple people on the card talking quietly while about to drive. I think playing with a wolf pack would help someone overcome those obstacles and play better tournament golf. I know that players have purposefully done the above mentioned distractions, knowing that not many people actually call courtesey violations. It works in getting the opponent distracted and concentration thrown. If they played woolf enough, they would learn to play through that distraction. I know it would help my game. It would help my confidence. It would help ADGA. It would help new players. Hopefully, it would build ADGA. Hopefully, it would build a more friendly ADGA. I agree that ADGA has seemed way too clique-ish. Mixing cards occasionally would help also. Hopefully, I will be out there again by this spring.

[lauranovice]

BTW, John, Pat, Brian, or whoever is expecting a new baby with Amy, do you know if Ryan is having a brother or a sister yet?

[discgolfdog]

Laura is right on the money. Once I started playing in the Wolfpack each week, all those things that used to distract and upset me don't anymore. Sometimes people say sorry I was moving or talking during your putt. I now reply, you were?

[discgolfdog]

Another thing I would like to do to raise money once we get the bins replentished is to sell discs after the mini to casual players. Larry Ladd was a master at that. He would stay for 1 or 2 hours after the mini on nice days and get all kinds of sales. We have a buttload of old t-shirts from past tournaments that we just give away at events. Those items need to be out with the plastic each week being sold at a discount. Like I said before, a number of ideas are being kicked around. I would really like to get Wolf going within the next month though. Somebody remind me and we'll get some input next Sunday.

[sandalman]

jesus, he's got the Lee disease responding to his own posts... we need intervention! do they make a drug for that?

[discgolfdog]

I don't have the room to set up the basket and practice putting when I'm on closing shift now. I have to stay awake somehow.

Pat, u r a phunny guy.

I am concerned that club plastic is going to be THE issue.
It is unfortunate that Innova will not be an option for a while , but this is a great opportunity to get discraft out on the courses of the metroplex.

Secondly, as I mentioned earlier, a player development program could enhance the current state of the ADGA. I am certain that many " new " golfers would enjoy watching their progress. As well as recieving instruction from players with more experience than themselves. It is a win - win situation. Plus the development program could actually help determine who plays the best consistant golf @ the course. BRAGGING RIGHTS N.E. BODY?

[sandalman]

Own the Hole already determines who plays the "best consistant" golf. bring your $20 this sunday. we'll gladly take your cash. :eek:

[bslamoreaux]

Lee, until the club gets more of their own plastic, I can continue to handle the Am payout. I've been out there for the last two weeks doing it.

Brian

Groovy man. Does it smell like a hamster?

N'ah....Cedar chips.

Can't remember if Pat or Brian told me, but Ryan &amp; Amy will find out Jan 5th.

[lauranovice]

cool, do we get to help with the name choices again this time?

[my_hero]

If it were up to me i'd say yes, but we're going to have to ask the father just to make sure.

PS. I bet this situation confuses most readers. :D

Lee is a strong name . And it is uni-sex. Perfect.

[lauranovice]

what?
more than . .
wife swapping, "pet" hampsters and guinea pigs, salad tossing, and have I mentioned I'm planning on taking my wet beaver out to play with Lee and his family Saturday at Cedar Hill? She had lots of fun when we played with Brian a few weeks ago.

WET BEAVER :eek: :D :o:D

I was thinking more along the lines of Doggy Jr. (woof, woof for short). /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[my_hero]

Whew....LQ's post was FABULOUS! I think i may be wet now.



I was thinking more along the lines of Doggy Jr. (woof, woof for short).

I'm kind of sensitive to the name woof, woof. My cousins used to call me that. Something along the lines of me looking like Eddie Munster. :confused: :mad:

[discgolfdog]

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree now does it? Maybe if it's a girl you could name her woof, woof.

Eddie Munster - priceless

[sandalman]

i always thought John looked more like tim duncan. try calling john for a foot fault sometime. you get that same duncanesque shoulder shrug and the "huh, what, me? you gotta be kidding" look :eek:

[my_hero]

I've never foot faulted. :D

[24460]

you mean nobody has ever called you on a foot fault.

[24460]

I have a question.....are you supposed to get anyhting out of being a member of the ADGA. I paid my money to join this last year, but I am not sure that I joined an organization.
Does anybody know when Toolen is going to order the Ice Bowl trophies for the winners this last year?
I would like to add more 1st place trophies to my small collection.

[sandalman]

dont know about that one... i can tell ya tho that i got a trophy with 2005 on it for winning my Open Masters in the 2006 Club Championships :D:D:D

Hilarious!

Looks like the Vet is getting hammered !
Tornado's go away!

[seewhere]

I can hold the $$ for you guys :D:p and ROUND ROCK is the BEST club around :eek:

[DOC65]

Wasn't that 2006? Or did you just defend your title this year?

[DOC65]

I can help with most anything computer related anytime it’s needed. I wouldn’t be able to make it to very many meetings if any due to my work but I’ll be glad to help.

From a newbie’s perspective I like the idea of playing with the pros and having a player development oriented approach. As a ball golfer getting back into disc golf this is something that is sorely lacking.

So having a club geared towards developing players is a great idea.



that presumes the existance of a membership list.

Hole #4: John's Demise.

Classic Mr. Filty Feets. I had trouble with it for one series of Who Owns the Hole....then i Owned it in all/most of the other series yet it's my demise? Too funny. :D

[sandalman]

well, you havent played since, so i figured reaching that 200 footer took it all out of ya :D

[my_hero]

As Willy would say....200 feet is a crush in my division. :D

Glad I went out this morning ..... Good shooting David...
1st, 2nd, and 3rd for one week with a gimp leg is not too shabby IMO.. :D

[discgolfdog]

Great shooting on Sunday by Mr. Kinter. I was more impressed by the one legged wonder playing in the mud and slick conditions and shooting -1. Congrats Lee, and thanks for coming out.

Was very happy to be there .... I woke up and it was pouring rain out ..... But that was not going to get in the way of my only chance to play this weekend !!!!!

[DGBAMA92]

Yes. Very nice shooting there "Gimper". That is some control shooting.

I will say that is the best i have done out there with Birdies on 4,5,9,10,11,15,18, and a boge on 3 ( first hole ). Plus the birdies were not all gimmies.

And then there is the Vet. Brought me back to my mere existance. Got up to +9 and made 3 Birdies to be at +6. That makes me EVEN for the day and I'll take it. OH yeah, I was on the "Heckler Card", Giggler , Mike G , VJ and myself. Alot of bull*@#* talking there I tell ya.

But I had fun.

So what you are trying to say is Nolan won the mini @ the Z yesterday??? :D

[my_hero]

Kinter won Vet's. Nolan wasn't at the Z. The Z went Cfles -4, Colin/Miles -1, Hero Even, everyone else over par. :D

[24460]

Today is Tuesday June 5, 2007. It is going to be a sunny day today with no rain in the forecast. Tuesday night mini tonight in Crowley. I have 12's basket fixed so we will play all 20 holes.
$12.00 for pros
$8.00 for ams

If David Kinter makes it out tonight, we will have 2 birthday boys playing in the mini.

[DGBAMA92]

Happy B-Day Brice. :D;) :p

Hey Jerry, I just saw your post. I'm just now seeing we have this site up again and if you have any contribution to offer let us know. I'll say something about getting a form printed.
