OMB vs. YGB 2007

[okcacehole]

the official thread :D

Looks like we need some ratings of the tread to turn that lighbulb to yellow


5 stars :p

[reddman]

Just wanted to get my name in the mix as so many have already posted in our area! :D

[okcacehole]

Josh and Ben are hanging at the top at the PWO III

Jack is one out from first..Anderson hanging in there also

Deidre tied for 2nd but that rating is going up for her

[gnduke]

Good to hear it.
Time to get packed up for the cruise.

[okcacehole]

Have a good time Duke - take some pics

[okcacehole]

Pizza - did you get any good pics of the course? Any results?

[Pizza God]

They did not post results on the ship that I know of.

I only shot even. The winners of the Pro and Masters both shot 8 down. The course was tough in that if you went off the fairway, you were in deep dodo.

We were using DGA travel baskets which do not catch my type of putt very well. I had one spit back at me, and two go all the way though. (one was from 4ft)
In an effort to putt softer, I missed another 3 or 4 putts I should have made within 30ft.

It was also hard to tee off in the deep sand on a few of the holes. By the time I started to play the course correctly, we found out the 2nd round had been canceled.

I did play most of the holes a second time (getting lots of birdies and loosing one discs in the rough)

I just need to upload some pics in my server and can post them.

[Pizza God]

yes, there was gold at the end of the rainbow

Coco Cay from the tendor, our first look at the island :D

The new PDGA uniform :o:D

http://members.aol.com/bjames1033/f4.jpg

the day before lift off

http://members.aol.com/bjames1033/f8.jpg

Our tickets were good for 2 days. We almost stayed, but TWC said Saturday morning that liftoff was scrapped. We found out in Missisippi that the Shuttle had blasted off.

[okcacehole]

Great shots Bryan..thanks for posting those up...

guess scores don't really matter when you are playing on an island in the sand and sun

If you want to renew your PDGA membership through the OMB vs YGB Club Program let me know and I will email you a form.

You can still join ace club, birdie club, ect and still get your $5.00 discount and officials test if you are not one already.

Looks like Duke is next for enjoying some sunny weather.

[okcacehole]

Way to go Jack Tabor - bringing home another win for the OMB's!!!!

[baldguy]

yeah, I had a so-so 3rd round... and one hole in round 4 took me right out of it. I guess triple-circle-8s tend to do that. I still managed to cash though, and even though it was a shoddy performance... that was my last sanctioned MA2 event. I play 30-40 points (rating-wise) better when I play advanced.

see y'all in MA1 next year... nothing but casual for me (I think) the rest of this year. we gonna plan next weekend?

[okcacehole]

CH at 10am Sat

I talked to Ben earlier, but figured I would let you tell us about the 8 :D

Almost all OMB/YGB's cashed..Anderson was just on the bubble..our 2 pro's out there didn't cash

[gnduke]

Good showing.

[okcacehole]

Pizza - did MJCO not make the update in time for the newest ratings??

[Pizza God]

nope, I put it off so far, I can't get back into it. I am way behind in paperwork for the store and tournament. This is the worst I have ever done with the tournament. (meaning latest to turn everything in)

[okcacehole]

Well I guess that means my rating won't change until next year then :p

are you going to renew your membership with us Pizza?

[baldguy]

wow... that will make about an 8 point difference in my rating... if you need help with that part next year, pizza, lemme know. I'm kinda okay with the technical stuff.

[okcacehole]

Had a great time today at BearCreek with Krell, Parker and Charles Cox

I shot a bogey free, -3 from the Pro Pads and had a drop-in birdie on #6..don't think I have done that before.

I think we may play an early round tomorrow before Watts becomes a grandpa at 12:30.

Still on for CH at 10:00 also on Saturday

[okcacehole]

2 more wins today at Porter

-9 with Troy Berry and -13 with Parker

We had Watts, Parker, Krell, Cox and Berry out there today

can't wait until Saturday..looks like it may hit 80..ohhh those TX winters :D

[okcacehole]

Casey - I got your PDGA renewal today also..thanks for your support

I will mail these in on 12/26/6. Please try to get them to me before then...they can be sent in after that, but one batch will be much easier

[okcacehole]

We now have 8 people who have renewed their memberships through the OMB YGB Club

Leonel and Dieter signed up today and Andy and I should make the 10. Jerry Powers has expressed interest also.

Keep them coming and thanks for your support

[baldguy]

You know that Deidre and I are in... I can give you a check or cash or whatever on Saturday.

[okcacehole]

No need for a check unless you want to if you are bringing it to the course on Saturday Josh

Charles Cox is going to join up through our club also!

[okcacehole]

Signed up so far:

Gary Duke
Jeremy Olheiser
Steve Parker
Mark Reddoch
Daryl Johnson
Leonel Casias
Dieter Krappl
Casey Fortune

Andy and Charles have their checks in the mail also.

[reddman]

Two Ds! :p :cool: Looking good so far. BBD got that "somain" name for us? :D

[okcacehole]

Just got word the Bitners are in also - thanks guys

[oceanjones]

Murphy, can you bring some forms to CH tomorrow?

[okcacehole]

Already have them in the bag...glad to see you are going to make it out tomorrow..80 degrees and Cedar Hill..can't beat that..

anyone thinking about the mini?



Murphy, can you bring some forms to CH tomorrow?

[oceanjones]

What time does the Mini start?

[okcacehole]

3pm

[oceanjones]

Hmmm..I plan on riding down with Gary, so unless he is staying for it (and i doubt if he is). I won't be either.

[okcacehole]

probably not, but if we went to lunch instead of eating at the park...just an idea as hamster was stating they never have an am field for the mini

Andy - I got your check today...you paid $5.00 extra..I'll bring you a 5 next time I see you

[Pizza God]

I have been very busy at work. Took too much time off for Thanksgiving and the Disc Golf Cruise. A week later and I am still behind.

I will get it too you soon. It is just a matter of getting you my info and paypal or mailing you a check (I would prefer to paypal)

Please tell me if this is correct.

Pro Masters PDGA fee + Ace Club membership + paypal fees = $173.60

If this is correct, I will paypal you the money and message you my information.

[okcacehole]

$170...if the paypal fees are that...boooooyahhhh

check would be easy, but if you want to paypal it is:

okcacehole@hotmail.com


Thanks to Mike Anderson, Gary Watts, Steve Wind, Jennifer Wind, Charles Cox and Justin Jones for renewing today

thank you...the "club" should have 20 members easily from at least 2 states...come on KS, CA

[Pizza God]

You have Cash

Ace Club + Pro membership fee. (I included $5 to cover paypal charges, if it comes up short, I will make it up next time)

Actually, Next year I hope to have enough cash on hand to join the Eagle Club. Then I will never have to worry about renewing again :D

[okcacehole]

Thanks..I just got it $169.62 USD...don't worry about the change :D

Send me your email or phone so I can get all your information to fill out a renewal form (address, birthday, phone, ect.)

(disregard..I think I have what I need on the paypal info..thanks)

[baldguy]

Missed most of you at Audubon yesterday. Beautiful weather...

Jack and I tied at +1
Nate and Kevin tied at +4 (I think that's where they ended up... nate may have been +3)
Jay was... over that :)

I'm out of town all next weekend, but I'll try and take some pics of the Mobile, AL and Pensacola / Gulf Breeze, FL courses we'll be playing. Murphy... I'll have to paypal you our stuff I guess. I forgot all about it on saturday :(

[okcacehole]

No problem Josh, but I will need you to inlcude PDGA#'s, birthdates, address on your paypal info so I can fill out the form(s) for you.

The paypal info is above and $5.00 extra should cover the paypal fees

[Pizza God]

Mobile, AL

Play Chickasaw Community Park, it was better than Chickasabouge County Park. However it was a little confusing to find a few of the holes. There are White T markers at all the holes marking the tee boxes. The course was just redone (in the last month) and was pretty good.

Chickasabouge was a short wooded course with only 2 open holes. (the two longest holes are WIDE open in a field). If you have time, play it, but the other course was more fun to me.

[baldguy]

thx for the info, I'll try to play as many good courses as I can while we're gone... time with the in-laws isn't as appealing as time on the course ;)

I've heard good things about the University of Southern Alabama course. I contacted a local pro in Mobile who has graciously offered to show us around when we're there. Since Mobile only about 45 mins from our hotel in Pensacola... I might get more than a couple rounds in at those courses :)

[okcacehole]

Pizza - I replied to your paypal..I do need phone # and birthday also

Anderson - I just changed your check to be payable to me and not the PDGA since I have to send them one big check for all of us. If there are any problems with that at the bank I will let you know.

Josh - I will need address, phone, email, birthday, pdga #

[Pizza God]

I almost tried to play that course. If I ever drive down that way again, I will.

[okcacehole]

Josh - I rcvd. your info for the both of you but no payment...are you doing that later???

I am sending in the 1st group on the 26th of this month..we have 16 members to date w/o Krell and I...with you 2 we hit that 20 mark

thanks for everybodys support on this

[okcacehole]

Congrats to Justin today for hitting his 1st ACE ever..hole #6 at Porter and nothing but bucket..not sure if the chains even touched the disc

Now to convince you to keep the disc:

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l128/okcacehole/PICT0046.jpg

Fill your garage walls or something else, or just store them, but don't lose that disc..you will miss it later on.

Trust me..I know of too many players who wish they have saved at least their first ace...discs can be replaced in the bag..your first ace can't.

Congrats!

[oceanjones]

OK...I'm retiring it

[gnduke]

One of the Aces I remember was in Dayton Ohio. A 300' hyzer shot on top of a hill with a 15-20 mph right to left cross wind. I started a viper out about 45 degrees off target and the wind carried it into the basket.

The memorable part is that as I was playing the course, there were always a couple of groups visible around me as well as other park users. When I hit the ace, I looked around, and saw no one at all in the park.

[baldguy]

murphy, I'll paypal you the money this week. can't hit the site from work, though :confused:

oh, and nice wall-o-aces... nice shot of the toilet, too. put the lid down ;)

[baldguy]

how very sad... I don't think anyone in our club had a change in rating... none of the tournaments we've played recently were sent in to the PDGA. No points, no rated rounds... what's the purpose of sanctioning again? I'm not blaming the PDGA entirely, but their system could apparently use some improvements if it's this difficult to get them this information. Maybe instead of a club, we should start a sanctioning body... *sigh*.

[okcacehole]

Mine will stay the same until the MJCO are updated on the next update.

Josh - try to get that payment to me in a day or so if you would. It takes a few days to get the paypal into my account and I want to mail these off on Monday.

We should have 20 members to start off the year - very nice

[oceanjones]

6 more weeks as the most overated player in disc golf ;) I guess I can't complain this time...That January update sure will hurt the baby though.

[manderson]

i'm off this week, anyone playing?

[okcacehole]

I am sure Brian and I will be up for some golf...I think Andy said he has a few days off as well.

[manderson]

i would like to get out to bear creek this week. give me a call if you guys are going to play anywhere. 214-725-7568

[oceanjones]

I'm off as well...you got my number. ;)

[okcacehole]

Just dropped off the 19 renewals at the post office.

Anyone pick a spot to play today? Supposed to be warmer tomorrow but with 20-30mph winds

[andy25833]

Looks like i won't be able to play for a while :mad::mad:

I have a spider bite or something on my leg that is VERY swollen and sore. Doc said not too walk on it too much. Bad timing...

Have fun guys.

[okcacehole]

Bummer Andy - something you picked up at the vet or after that?

Duke - thanks for the map and photos link...how deep is that water out there? Looks like a good piece of land for some new baskets on our side of town. Any chance you can talk them into Discatchers????

[manderson]

parker, krell and myself plan to play bear creek in the early pm. one round from shorts, one from longs

[gnduke]

It will be Discatchers on both courses.

The water in most places is less than a foot deep. There are one or two spots where it gets well over 6' deep though. If it hasn't rained, the water is pretty clear, but the mud stinks.

[oceanjones]

What time is early PM? Today is supposedly the last "nice" day this week. Parker or Krell, please give me a call. I will try to check the board as well.

[baldguy]

just got back from pensacola... got to play the gulf breeze course which is pretty challenging from the pro tees, but I didn't get to play *any* of the other courses I had planned. The one day I had set aside for golfing... rained all day. 1600 miles later, I'm ready for some TX golf. I've got to work the rest of the week, but it looks like this weekend is going to be playable. Saturday and Sunday are supposed to be clear... any plans?

[18567]

Bear Creek 1PM today slackers.

[okcacehole]

Where and what time are you talking about for Thursday Justin or Mike??

[oceanjones]

My Thursday plans are canceled. I'll be doing the family thing all day long. I'll give you guys a review of "Happy Feet" next time I see ya. ;)

[okcacehole]

Rough round out there today at Porter...I think I won with a +3 over Krell, Dieter and Woody..was shooting -1 until #14 when my upshot went OB :o, then a bogey on #16 and #17 (put it across the road into the park) :(

Nice wind out there today..I did hit the basket on #6 with my ROC but that was it...

anyone game tomorrow if we stay dry???

[okcacehole]

Just talked to Watts and he will be on the Carrollton side of town around 10:30 or so..may try for a Porter round or GB at 11-12 if the rain stays away..

[okcacehole]

In your best Prince thinking..this is what is looks like when the BOYS lose

couldn't win 10 last year ( the aviar was mine)

couldn't win 11 this year ( the shirt was mine)

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l128/okcacehole/PICT0048.jpg

He really should stop betting on the cowgirls..maybe next year I will bet him for the DJ towel..or maybe just his bag :D

[bambam]

Nice wind out there today...



Yeah, it sure was... made for a fun ride this evening on my Christmas present!! :D :D

Harleys ROCK!! (er mebbe it's ROC) :p

[okcacehole]

as long as your feet can touch the ground :D

and your hair gets blown back in the wind ( yeah,...I used that joke twice) :D

did you at least hit 100 miles by now????

[bambam]

as long as your feet can touch the ground :D

and your hair gets blown back in the wind ( yeah,...I used that joke twice) :D

did you at least hit 100 miles by now????



Well, I can at least touch one foot at a time... does that count? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

And what do you mean "hair"?? I shaved it all off and got a tattoo on my head. :eek: :D

I'm almost to 100 miles... put about 30 on it tonight. I'm loving it... wish I had gotten one sooner, but the ex-wife wouldn't hear of it. Anyway, that's not an issue any longer. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[okcacehole]

Glad you are enjoying the open road...it won't even be broken in until at least 1000..so don't open it up fully until then

I sent you a PM

[bambam]

Yeah, I'm taking it nice and easy on it for awhile... both for the break-in period, and for me to get used to riding again.

[oceanjones]

Anybody gonna play in the rain today? It seems like every other tourney I play is in the rain. And it seems like I tank every time...I could use the rainy day practice.

[space76]

I splashed out of #18 at BC yesterday. And whats with these old guys and bikes? My old man is bout to buy his 2nd in 2 years and he still has the 1st one.

[bambam]

Anybody gonna play in the rain today? It seems like every other tourney I play is in the rain. And it seems like I tank every time...I could use the rainy day practice.



I'll probably hit the Lake course just after lunchtime... I don't mind playing in the rain, just don't want to play in the mud.

[bambam]

And whats with these old guys and bikes?



I know, for me personally, mine has mid-life crisis written all over it! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :p




Well, except for the fact that the wife had a major problem with motorcycles, I'd have had one 9 years ago. Now that she's an EX-wife, it's an EX-problem! :D

[space76]

I hear ya. My old man rode a bike everywhere till they had us. Now thirty years later and retired his back on them. I was just pokin fun at ya. ;)

[bambam]

I hear ya. My old man rode a bike everywhere till they had us. Now thirty years later and retired his back on them. I was just pokin fun at ya. ;)



Oh, I know... I was pokin' fun at me, too! :D

It looks like Mark and I will be out for a round tomorrow morning at 10:00... not sure where yet, but if it rains much more, it'll probably be at the Lake.

The more the merrier...

[okcacehole]

Justin and I were talking about the Lake or CH tomorrow

Casey - wait until both your father and your mother buy Harleys :D

[bambam]

What will CH look like after this rain, though? There's numerous spots there that would turn into a mud pit with anything more than a sprinkle.

[okcacehole]

actually that course drains pretty well. Even the old problems on Holes 5-6 on the Beaver are much better

The day after we were poured on at the Big Show out there it was in good shape, but the Lake probably does drain the better of the two.

[space76]

My mom on a bike would be one funny sight!! Hell its funny even when she is on the back.

Im in for sat, keep me posted on the location.

[okcacehole]

She has more miles on hers than dad has on his and his is at least 2 years older.

I got his old '82 KZ750 in 1992 and it didn't even have 1,000 miles on it. Planted that into the front of a Honda Accord - their fault, but the bike was a loss :(

I have only rode a handfull of times since then

[space76]

Thats pretty cool about your mom.

Sux about parkin your bike in a honda though.

Ive only rode a handful of times ever and that was always on dirt. I do see a crotch rocket in my future and prob death soon after. :o:D

[bambam]

Looking more and more like the Lake tomorrow, ya think? :D

[okcacehole]

Yes...that would probably be a better call...they got pounded down the CH way.

10am? I'll make it if I can. If it is raining don't count on it.

I'll let Todd and Krell know also. I need to test out a disc on #3 and see how understable it actually is.

[bambam]

Yeah, 10:00am... we'll be watching the rain to make a final decision, too, I'm sure. Looking at the radar, we still have a couple hours' worth of heavy stuff heading our way tonight.

With all this potentially nasty weather about, I finally figured out how to get both the car and the Harley in the garage. It was entertaining to watch, I'm sure... I may have to video it one day and put it on YouTube. It went something like this: "back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and...(ad infinitum)" :D

[baldguy]

I live about 5 miles from the lake course and we're still getting some pretty heavy rain... but with all the sand on that course, there won't be much mud. Plus, it's not like the lake is suddenly going to get full and flood the course like it did a few years ago... we still need another few feet of rain before that becomes a possibility.

enjoy the bike, bambam... just be careful. I don't want to lose another friend to a motorcycle accident. I rode for a few years and have had thoughts of getting another... but a good friend of mine died back in Feb on two wheels. Wasn't anyone else involved, he just hit some gravel on a curve that he took every day on the way to work. He was wearing a helmet, but he was thrown from the bike and hit a light pole head first. He never had a chance. Sorry to be morbid... but I miss the guy. Keep it on the side streets and keep it slow... and don't let me catch you riding without a helmet ;)

I'm in for some golf tomorrow if the rain lets up tonight. The lake should be playable as long as it's not storming during the round. I'll plan on 10:00, let me know if you guys decide to sit it out.

[okcacehole]

Josh - do you happen to have a Microsoft Access book? I got certified in that about 6 yrs. ago but haven't used it since and a mortgage company there in Lewisville wants to interview me for a analyst position that would use that heavily

see you guys at 10am if it looks alright..

[baldguy]

sorry, I do not... I really can't stand Access... if I *had* a book like that, it would have long ago been burned in effigy :D. Not to state the obvious, but Barnes-n-Noble usually is a good place for that stuff. If you don't mind a used book, Half Price books (especially the one in Dallas off of NW Hwy) tends to have a good variety.

Rain stopped. see you kids in the AM.

[okcacehole]

Not my favorite program either, but that is what they use and I tossed my 3 years ago since I never used the program..oh well..not even sure I want to just run reports all day but I think the pay will be even better than my last spot

see you in the AM unless more comes our way..OKC is getting pummled right now

[okcacehole]

Check out the top 20 points earners in TX AM Masters..sure are a lot of our guys on there..Ben Cole even in the top 5

Naw, that wasn't morbid, Josh... I appreciate the thought. We (Sally Beauty) lost a co-worker in a motorcycle incident on 380 less than three months ago. Someone bumped him from behind (wasn't paying attention) and it threw him across into oncoming traffic, and he ended up underneath an oncoming car, still in the saddle. After being in a coma for about 6 weeks, with no hope of coming out with any brain function, they took him off life support. It's sad... he was married with 2 or 3 kids, and was well liked by everyone there.

There won't be any crazy stuff going on with this bike. I'll just be driving it to work on nice days, and taking it for the occasional North Texas road trip, mostly on the back roads to see all the sights, yano.

It looks like we may have seen the last of the heavy stuff, at least. Looking at the radar, there is still some stuff south of us, but it's spotty and may or may not even make it this far. I'm planning on being there at 10:00 if it's not raining in the morning.

[Pizza God]

I have my Harley fund started up, hope to get mine before my 50th birthday.

Talked to Ron in McKinney are few weeks ago, he plans on getting his Harley as soon as he is done with Child Support payments :D

[baldguy]

change the "harley fund" to a "honda fund" and be riding in half the time ;)

lookin good for golf in the morning. itf it's not raining at 9:30, I'm heading to the lake.

[oceanjones]

I'll be at the lake with bells on. ;)

[space76]

Gonna have to pass on this morn. Had to go bow to the porcelain throne upon awakening. :(

[Pizza God]

nope, I am going to hold out for the hog :D

[baldguy]

nope, I am going to hold out for the hog :D


phag joke fer sure

;)

[okcacehole]

Don't recall who won that first round with -6 or so since JJ and I shot a whopping -2, but Krell and I took round #2 with a -9

Lake was packed today...Tabor and Kevin are hitting the lake tomorrow at 9am...I think Gary and some of the rest of us will be playing later than that.

[okcacehole]

Watts. is out...anyone have a preference for tomorrow????

9am lake so far, but I am not sure I am getting out to the course by then...anyone??? Bueller??? :D

Josh, Krell, Todd and I are in for a round..

Parker?? have you found this thread yet??? :D

[baldguy]

just talked to BamBam, he said he's in for a 9am round. Unless I hear a more appealing time come up... I'm in for that too. Poker at my house for NY Eve. Or maybe just some sports on TV if we don't get enough for poker ;)

[okcacehole]

I make no promise's about a 9am sunday :D

I'll call if I am on my way out there..just left Todd a msg. also..didn't hear back from Parker

[okcacehole]

Holy cow..I made a 9am sunday..at 9:10 :D

Tabor and Bitner took Roberts and I out at the end but good times...glad we had 8 out there this morning

time to sleep and then hit Josh's for some cards, drinks and ring in that new year

Thanks again to all that renewed and made the OMB/YGB club for 2007...I hope to see the rest of you join up soon

[oceanjones]

Anybody gonna be out tomorrow? Cedar Hill? :)

[bambam]

I'm planning on making it to Josh's tonight for poker.

Just waiting on those directions, Josh... /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[baldguy]

Deidre just reminded me.. you have a PM ;)

[bambam]

Got 'em.. thanks!

See ya between 7 and 8pm.

[okcacehole]

JJ and anyone else

We are going to hit Coppell tomorrow..2pm


Directions (http://www.pdga.com/course/courses_by_city.php?id=2290)

[reddman]

Coppell??? That's the first time I've ever seen someone type that on this board. :D

OMBs suck! <font color="pink"> for one more year </font>

[oceanjones]

Never been to the Coppell course. See you guys at 2.

[Pizza God]

it has 2 good holes :o

Got stuck working 10am to close tonight (10:30pm) I should bee out of here by 11:30pm. I at least hope we are busy. I got home last night at 11:45pm last night after our 8th best sunday ever.

[baldguy]

Coppell claimed 8 discs today... I guess we should play more safe around the water when it's that windy :D

Who is going to make the PIO this year?

[Pizza God]

I should be there

[bambam]

I thought it was 10 discs... 12 in the water, and only retrieved two of them. Is that not right?

Anyway, I can see why no one plays that course much. Too much interaction with pedestrian traffic, and too much water you can't retrieve your discs from. :mad:

It was still a better Monday than being at work, though. :D

[reddman]

Anyone playing some golf Tuesday? Last day off before I have to go back to work.

[baldguy]

2 lost for Deidre, 2 for Adam, 1 each for myself, Mike, Krell, and BamBam. were there more? I know JJ and I each had one go in and get retrieved. It's very possible that I lost count :).

That course has potential, it just needs to be redesigned. I think it was better a couple of years ago, but I'm sure there was a good reason for the change. Perhaps it would be worthwhile to get with the city of Coppell and (as a PDGA Affiliate club) offer to help make it better. If there's playable land across the creek, it could look alot like the creek holes at ZBoaz. Get it away from that pedestrian path as much as possible... I know I'd be willing to help. Such a nice park with a city that's willing to support a DG course and keep it maintained, it's a shame to see it sit there idle.

[okcacehole]

I did some research on this years ago when I played the course for the first time. Coppell has a lot of other city parks that have enough land and many of them are even undeveloped at this time.

You can find the list of all their parks by going on their homepage and going under the parks department page.

[18567]

I'm not sure as to what I'm going to do tomorrow. Please post when and where you had in mind. Gary is off also, so he may be interested in playing.

[bambam]

Ouch... sure must suck to be a Sooner tonight. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Gotta give Boise State the credit. They fought hard and didn't quit, even when it looked bad there in the last minute of regulation.

[okcacehole]

That was one great game either way...gotta give them props for never giving up tonight. Best bowl game so far this season.

I am hitting lunch with my family at 11am here in Addison and will golf probably around 1:00-2pm..I left Gary a msg. to let him know. He may need to play earlier than that but if not I think we were talking about Porter. If you guys play before that someone post and let me know where you are going to be.

Maybe Boise can spend some of that bowl money on a new color turf for their home stadium :D

[bambam]

Mark and I are getting a morning round in somewhere around 9:00 tomorrow... don't know which course yet. I asked him to post up early tomorrow morning whatever course he decides on.

It's a good thing we don't get many Boise State games down here... looking at that field for too long would hurt my eyes. And what's up with all the tattoos on the Boise State players? sheesh! "Well, I'm bored and tired of picking potatoes... think I'll go get some more ink" :p :D It was a hard-fought game, for sure.

[bambam]

Looks like Mark and I will be at LL Woods at 10:00 today... feel free to join in.

[okcacehole]

my plans changed also..not doing lunch until 1pm today so don't wait on me..if I can make a late round I will let you guys know

[oceanjones]

Add two more lost discs to yesterdays total. Mike and I played the front 9 again and each lost one.

[okcacehole]

Josh - I figured out the movie "naomie" in Waiting was on that we were trying to think of. She was in the Brady Movie. She was the girl trying to get Marsha to switch to "the other team" :D

How was the round today Ryan and Mark? Spent the afternoon with my family so no golf for me today. Heading to OKC on Thursday so good luck at the PIO to those who are playing...take out some of those bagger pro's that are dropping to AM on Saturday

[reddman]

Excellent conditions for golf yesterday morning. Casey Fortune joined us at 10:00. It was nice to start off the year shooting in the 40s. :p No aces for any of us yet in 2007.

Saturday golf?

[Alacrity]

I am going to be in town Friday afternoon and can probably be at any course in Dallas area by 3:00 to 3:30, is anyone up for a game????

I can try for earlier, but I don't think I can leave Tyler until 12:30 at the earliest and that puts me at 635 by 2:00 with no traffic problems. Let me know.

[space76]

Simmer down on the tattoo coments there ryan. Even though I regret bout half of mine. Still wouldnt have them removed.

[okcacehole]

Jerry I will be out of town this weekend and I know Gary Watts is working all weekend, but I am sure you can get with some of the other guys for an afternoon round.

Check the thread or give someone a call. Sorry to miss you this time around. I know Watts was just dying to play RIPT 2 :D

[Alacrity]

Gary Duke is thinking he may not feel well enough Friday afternoon to work, so he is planning on showing me the new course. ;)

[okcacehole]

Which course..he has shown me the maps to both of them and they both look nice..I think Paschall looks a little more wooded besides a few of those holes

Gary..is there anything else you could do for hole #18? I don't think most people want to bogey their last hole. 700ft final hole, but all I saw was open field from your picture

[Alacrity]

Are you saying you cannot par a 700' hole? What are you calling as par, 3, 4 or 5? And if you are bogeying a par 5 700' hole, is it nothing but trees and water between the tee and the pin? :p

I know, you mean for the hole to have a Par 3 since we as disc golfers use par 3 as the standard, but that is by convention, not by actual determination of the holes difficulty.

Just Friday Jerry?????

I could play about 9 holes at Jimmy Porter Friday at 3~4pm. I have to be at my store by 5pm for sure.

Just checked my schedule, I am stuck working day on Saturday. No golf for me, but I am off sunday to play the PIO. (maybe I should practice my cold weather putting)

[Alacrity]

I think Gary wants to take me to one of the new courses. I am going to see if I can get there a little sooner than 3:00. If it is Mesquite I think I can get there by 2:15.

Gary, where do you want to play?

[okcacehole]

I guess my post was based more on the lines that #18 didn't seem to be anything but a huge field with nothing in the way so it just looked like it was lengthened to 700ft. Just driving full 2 times didn't seem like the best idea.

Just wondered if there was something else the land had to offer besides that field.

[gnduke]

There is nothing between the woods in the back and the parking lot (near hole 1) except open field and the overflow canal. There are plans to have the yardage markers on that side of the driving range setup indicate distance off the tee of 18 for some added interest to the hole.

There just wasn't anything interesting to do the hole, and a lot of distance to cover.

The driving range will be marked off in 50' increments from 200' to 600' from either end. If we get a lot of players driving past the 600' marker, it may get marked from 100' to 700'.

[okcacehole]

That was kind of my guess Gary, but I thought I would ask

JJ - here is an auction of 3 flat-top rocs if you are still looking to have a few backups:

Flat Top Rocs (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=007&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=170066450665&rd=1&rd=1)

[garywatts]

I sure can Jerry, but where would you like to play :confused:
you guys let me know where you will be at and maybe i can join, i get off at 1 or 2, i will be leaving from Preston and LBJ so could be to most in a bit.

[okcacehole]

Watts - i got your email and sent you my new email address.

Talk to you guys next week - good luck at the PIO!

[manderson]

where is this now course that you're talking about? i might be able to play friday afternoon. certainly could play one of the carrollton courses.

[bambam]

Simmer down on the tattoo coments there ryan. Even though I regret bout half of mine. Still wouldnt have them removed.



:confused: :confused:

[garywatts]

no PIO for me, will be at the Mighty Z,

[okcacehole]

What about CH Big Show Gary??? DJ and his nephew will be coming down that weekend and it will be the first tourney I play in 2007..take off those 2 days

[gnduke]

where is this now course that you're talking about? i might be able to play friday afternoon. certainly could play one of the carrollton courses.



They aren't in the ground yet, still in the proposal stages. I hope to see them go in this year. I will know more in a month or so.

GnDuke

[Alacrity]

Just tell me where to meet you and the time you think you will be there.

I'm planning to be there before 2:15 based on when you said you could be there.
Here is a map (http://www.lsdga.com/maps/maptest.html) that shows the location of the park. If you use netscape, it shows you the hole layout also.
Call me when you get close.

[Alacrity]

Will do.

sorry i was confused for a moment, i will be at CH not the mighty Z.

[gnduke]

You've been confused for more than the moment....

[18567]

Mr. Watts has been confused his whole life.

Anyone up for a casual round tomorrow or is everyone attending the tournament?

Also, Parker and I are hitting Greenbelt at 1PM if anyone wants to join.

[okcacehole]

splashed out of the basket today dead center...just a $1...good luck to the OMB/YGB's tomorrow..go get the $2,000+

see you guys next week

[reddman]

Should be 5 of us at Lake Park tomorrow morning at 10:00. Anybody that can't spend the entire day playing the PIO, come join us. To everyone that is playing the PIO, good luck! Get some extra cash on that ace. :cool:

[baldguy]

wow.... go cowboys... next year

I shot a terrible +8 (estimated 850 rating) from the shorts this morning, then -1 (estimated 966 rating) from the longs this afternoon. I managed to shoot a better 2nd round than almost everyone in the tournament, except for 2 people who bested me by a stroke. And I didn't cash. I guess we'll see if my 2nd round can carry into tomorrow. Grats Steve Parker on another club win in the OMB division!

[garywatts]

just admit you suck and then you should feel better bbd.
smurf whats up for today??

[18567]

I believe Adam is supposed to be comming back from OKC today, but I don't know what time. You might want to give him a call.

[garywatts]

you and parker want to play a round or two today?? if so where??

[18567]

I would be up for something. Call your old man friend and make a decision on what you want to do and let me know. Unfortunately my schedule is open. Watts online, weird.

[garywatts]

how muddy is porter??

[okcacehole]

It will be just fine at 1:30pm :D

Good to be back..I see Ben took Leonel by a stroke - bet he hears about that for a while :p

[bambam]

Great... Watts is at it again, asking if the boys wanna play around.



How ghey! :D:D:D

[garywatts]

you gotta stop hanging around with bbd, and its phag you phag :eek:

[bambam]

you gotta stop hanging around with bbd, and its phag you phag :eek:



Oh, sorry... I yield to your vastly more expansive knowledge on the subject, then. :D

Not looking much like nice golf weather this weekend. :mad:

[garywatts]

come and join us today..

[okcacehole]

Just wanted to let everyone know that I just got off the phone with Lori at the PDGA and she is processing our renewals today!

All the membership cards should be mailed out soon to us and anyone getting an officials test should expect that a little later. They are mailed from separate areas.

Thanks for joining our club this year and helping us get off the ground, and if you haven’t joined already there is still time to get your discounted PDGA membership, free officials test and 10% discount year round at discovering the world.

I appreciate all of you for helping make this possible and so far we have 19 signed up members!!!

All TD's should have our current info even before we get our cards.

Hope to see a HUGE club turnout for Cedar Hill next month

Adam Murphy #17684

[oceanjones]

CEDAR HILL BABY YEAH!!!!

[okcacehole]

Duke - I just got off the phone with Todd at the PDGA..you paid $10 less than you should have for your renewal (bag tag) and Steve and Jennifer paid $10 too much (family renewal plan)...next time you catch one of them can you even that out

Thanks

[baldguy]

FYI - you don't have to renew your PDGA membership with the club to be a member of the club. If (like Deidre and myself) you were forced to renew at an event, you can still be part of the OMB vs YGB club. You just need to be so represented on Adam's list.

??? To get the discounts and such you do have to register under the club program

[baldguy]

right, to get the PDGA renewal discount, you do. You can still be part of a PDGA affiliate club, however, as long as you are a current PDGA member and the club represents you as a member.

[baldguy]

by the way, as of now it looks like there might be time (before the rain starts) for a morning round... anyone in for the lake? It should be playable, and we might even squeeze two rounds in before we risk getting wet. the forecast in the morning should tell us more...

[okcacehole]

of course..the more the merrier, but I still don't know what you meant by "forced"...you could have signed up with us and had more than 1 month to do so...I was hoping to get all of us as sanctioned officials...

Here comes the rain...going to be nasty tonight...everyone be safe...OKC is already a frozen pond

[baldguy]

by "forced" I mean that we couldn't part with the renewal fee (holidays, etc) until it was too late to get in on the first round you sent in. And since we both played 2 C-tiers last weekend, we either had to renew there or pay the $20 ($5 each X2) temp fees. regardless, the PDGA renewal does not have anything to do with membership in the club, other than the fact that members are entitled to a discount.

I'm not saying it's anyone's fault that we didn't get the discount or anything like that... just saying that renewing with Ray at the PIO doesn't mean we're not part of the club. And we can still get the free officials test as members :)

[okcacehole]

And we can still get the free officials test as members




not sure about that part...you might want to check with the PDGA on that

[baldguy]

do you really think the PDGA would deny us that benefit just because we paid an extra $5 apiece to renew? Something tells me they'll appreciate the extra money :)

[okcacehole]

As I stated you might want to ask them. The discount is part of the affiliate club program and since you did not renew under that I really don't know. Send Lori and email and ask. It can't hurt.

[okcacehole]

Since golf is way out of the question tomorrow..Todd, Krell and I might go hit the bowling alley...if anyone is up for this please give me a call..maybe a 12 reservation and 4 games or more..

I'd love to join in on this fun, but I'm gonna be having fun of my own tomorrow. The motorcycle rider's education class I signed up for a week ago is a "rain or shine" class, so barring any of the frozen stuff, we'll be at Texas Motor Speedway tomorrow, learning how to ride in this sh1ttee weather. At least we'll be doing it on THEIR bikes and not our own. :D

If you're so inclined, please say a prayer for us all tomorrow. :p :cool:

It's all good cuz you don't know how to bowl anyway! BTW, is this still the smack talk thread? :p



Sure I do! It's that game where you play in teams of two, standing at opposite ends of a long, narrow wooden playing surface, usually covered in a fine silicon grit, much like sand, and you slide little metal pucks towards the other end and try to outscore you opponents by leaving more of your pucks closer to the end of the table than they do.

Duh... don't know how to bowl... whatever!

what time you talkin?

[gnduke]

Affliate club benefits are available to any
Current PDGA members on the Affiliate Club’s roster

.

I'm not sure how they know who's on the roster, but that is what their information page says.

[baldguy]

that's what murphy has to send in. I'm pretty sure he's the de facto club prez. They do it this way so that members can join the club thoughout the year.

Good info... so... where and when are we bowling? :)

[okcacehole]

I am quite sure Roster would refer to those who joined the club by renewing...as I already put..call Lori and ask..it can't hurt...

bowling..calling Tad in a second to see if we are still on

[baldguy]

*sigh*

Again, as I stated, the roster has nothing to do with who renews their membership through the club. The PDGA does not control who is a member of the club, that responsibility lies with the club. It would be silly for the PDGA to attempt to do otherwise. Denying someone membership in an affiliate club based on the fact that they paid the PDGA *more* money is perhaps even more ridiculous. If you need me to send Lorrie an email for you to verify this, then fine.

Re: bowling
When, where, and please tell me it's a smoking establishment

[baldguy]

quoted from the email you posted on the old thread about becoming an affiliate club:

Some clubs don’t take advantage of our PDGA Discounted Membership
action. No worries - just let me know if your club will be
participating in the 2007 PDGA Affiliate Club Members Discount Program
and I will forward you the forms you need.


so... if some affiliate clubs don't even do PDGA registration through the club... how do they have a roster?

and from the PDGA Affiliate Club Registration page:

To join please email your club contact info (including address, phone and email address) to the Affiliated Clubs Program on the PDGA Contact page and also email (or snail mail below) us a complete club roster in alphabetical order by last name (PDGA numbers - if applicable- and names only) to the Affiliated Clubs Program on the PDGA Contact page.


it looks like members of an affiliate club don't even need to have PDGA numbers. It also looks like the club contact needs to send (email or snail mail) a club roster to the PDGA, so this is obviously not defined by who is in the list of those who registered with the club.

The only point I'm trying to make here is that I've read the documentation we have available and I understand it. I don't need to email Lorrie for clarification on what seems obvious. If you want clarification for yourself, that's fine... but why not just send the email yourself instead of telling me to do it?

now... we bowling today or what? :D

[okcacehole]

Josh - IDGAF...the whole point is the test is free for those who renew in the club program..other instances they charge for it..I am already an official...so I don't need to bother with this..


BENEFITS

- Current PDGA members on the Affiliate Club’s roster will be able to take the PDGA officials test with no fee.




otherwise everyone would just take the test for free and they wouldn't charge for it..anyone can say they are part of one club or another...

[okcacehole]

read the whole thing..that came from the PDGA and refers to those who keep their members discounts and use them for the "club"..

geesh...if I knew this was going to be such a pain

[baldguy]

actually, the club contact has to put them on a roster in order for the PDGA to consider them part of the club. The only person who can do that for our club is you since you're the contact. When you send in the roster, can you please include those of us who had to renew at the PIO (at least Me, Deidre, and I think Jack). Once that's done, we will be current PDGA members, and on the affiliate club's roster... and we'll qualify for the free test.

[okcacehole]

wrong

[baldguy]

ok, we're obviously not going to settle this without confirmation from the PDGA one way or the other. I'll send Lorrie an email and copy you on it. I'm OK with that... but let's make it interesting :D

If I'm right, I want Todd's Aviar. What would you like me to wager against it?

[baldguy]

don't forget the original Nanni dollar still lives...

[okcacehole]

and yet again I don't care..I am already an official

[baldguy]

if you don't care then why are you arguing about it? lighten up a little, make a bet with me, and let's go bowling. it doesn't have to be todd's aviar if that's too precious ;)

[okcacehole]

go google johnny cash pictures

[baldguy]

funny guy. fine, if you wanna be like that then have at it. I'll still email Lorrie and if I'm wrong, you get nothing. you coulda had a CE Roc or some free beer, or *something*... last chance. you gonna bet?

[okcacehole]

I was incorrect:


Adam,

If he is a member of your club and a PDGA member in good standing (regardless of whether he renwed through the club), then he is entitled to the free official's test.

Thanks, Cliff



I still don't see the point though..guess everyone in the PDGA should claim membership in one club or another and then there is no point in even charging for the test

so, do I get Todd's Aviar? ;) :p

I think you still have to update the official roster to include us. If someone claims to be part of a club, but then isn't on the roster, they won't get the free test. I sent Lorrie that email and copied you, and even though Cliff answered that question, we can still find out what it takes to update the official roster. I'm betting it's just an email list, but we'll see.

So... about that bowling...

[okcacehole]

Let me know what you hear...I called the alley by our house and they want $5.50 a game..one other down off 35 is $20 a hour which is much better if we are actually bowling fast

Todd won't answer his phone so I guess he is playing that goofy game with hosher..

and yes I am working on quitting smoking. That and no JOB has me in a bad mood. Sorry for the griping but IMO it is just another dumb PDGA call ( in our favor though )..

and I don't text message :D..missed the call when it came in..my ringer was off from last night..

[baldguy]

i know you don't text... but I also know you tend to turn your phone off when you're in a bad mood ;)

I do wanna bowl... I can try to keep the smoke in a different direction... :D

BEN WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL ABOUT KICKING MY BUTT AT THE PIO,... HE WORKS VERY HARD ON HIS GAME !!EVERYDAY!! HE PLAYED VERY WELL. ...I ON THE OTHER HAND DIDN'T REALLY PLAY BAD.. FIRST ROUND I JUST THREW TO FAR, FROM THE SHORTS (I'M TO STRONG OR MY PLASTIC IS TO FAST ) SECOND ROUND WAS BETTER I JUST MISSED PUTS (CHAIN OUT LEFT) I DID ENJOY PLAYING THE SECOND ROUND WITH BBD AND THOSE OTHER THREE GUYS. ONE GUY ON OUR CARD ACED OUR VERY LAST HOLE #10 (NO LOOK HYZER) SWEET. ALMOST $700 AFTER THE SPLIT.

[l_7_ltrain]

[bambam]

No kidding... now all we need is everyone deciding "Greenbelt vs. Porter" for tomorrow, and me hollering out for the Lake course coz it's closer to me!

Aahhhh.. the good 'ol days. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :cool:

[okcacehole]

Todd had the best game tonight at 157...I think I carried my average with a 112, 126, 136 and 139

BBD and smurf have gotta get a <font color="white"> </font> room,,

[Pizza God]

nice deal, wish I had the time to take it now. I would need several things beforehand.

I would like to ge my license soon so if something happens like my trip to Alaska, I could have does the Harley tour. Roaming around Alaska on a Buell would have been fun. Same with renting a Harley in Las Vegas (but this cost A LOT more) It has been 16/17 years sence last time I rode a motorcyle. I never did bother getting a license back then.

Yeah, they're sticklers about you having the required equipment before letting you on one of their training bikes.

I bet riding parts of Alaska would just be pure joy, with all the beautiful country up there. Not so sure Vegas would be that much different from crusing Deep Ellum or Lower Greenville, as far as the actual riding experience goes.

[baldguy]

Riding in Vegas isn't about cruising the strip. If you get the chance, rent a bike and head out to the Hoover Dam or any of the rural area surrounding vegas. Even some of the suburban stuff like Henderson can make a good ride. I've seen a lot of the territory between visiting Keith while he lived there and just visiting Vegas. I never actually got to rent a bike, but I did rent a convertible (several years ago) and do some of the same pleasure driving.

Of course... I'm sure some people just want to look cool on the strip. But, if you're riding a bike just to look cool, you're riding for the wrong reasons :)

[baldguy]

if the lake lewisville bridge is passable, I'm heading in to work. Unless of course the boss says he wants everyone to stay home... then I might head to the Lake course

Adam,

I really don't know who else to add to that list except for possibly Ray Murray. Prairie Dog? You wanna be part of our club? :)

Maybe just start a thread and get people to post that they want to be members. If we know them and they play with us sometimes... sign them up. I think there should be some sort of nominal dues for members. something like $10/yr that isn't going to hurt anyone but keeps away the people who don't really want to be a part of the club. We could then put that money into the Carrollton DG Course improvement fund, or something like that. Or maybe use it to sponsor a local tournament (Carrollton Open?). What do you guys think?

[hammer55]

Maybe fund the propsed mini's or monthly?

[18567]

I don't think it really has to be a specific tournament if you do it, but a tournament fund as our group is not just local Dallas golfers. Our group is really about golfers who like to play golf together, than supporting a specific course. I think we should be sponsoring maybe 4 or 5 tournaments a year and not just Texas ones. Oklahoma is a definite with our ties there. The core of the group is definitely still here in Dallas, but it would be nice if eventually we started having golfers from CA, KS, MI, NC, etc. that ended up joining and when someone travels somewhere they have someone that they know to play a round with. The more people that sign up, the more tournaments we could sponsor each year, plus we can always ask for donations from the group if we want to sponsor tournaments that end up exceeding the total of the dues you are suggesting or it could be just like last year as everyone that just wants to donate, donates and they have more of a say of what tournaments we are sponsoring.

Of course Ray can jump in but he is already an official and a marshall.

I don't think we should charge anyone unless they want to take the officials test. They aren't getting anything out of it by being on the roster besides that $5.00 discount.

I would still like to see us sponsor $1000 in tournies this year. That could be 4 or 5 key events or spread it out over some more events. Mr Jims, Tyler, Okie Doubles, Alex Clark, ect..

Carrollton could also used help on the courses in the way of finishing off the teepads, but the back sides of both courses will be worked on by the city in the future..might want to focus on the front side at Porter for now.

Mini's - who is going to run them??? I think we decided that both courses in one day probably isn't real feasible for many other players besides us, but a monthly event out there may be good. I will help with the paperwork, payouts, ect, but I won't run one.

[okcacehole]

Another thought - if we want to raise some dough for the Carrollton courses why not throw an Ice Bowl? Sure seems to be a lack of Ice Bowl events in the Dallas area. I think in the 4yrs I have been here the Lake event last year was the only one I knew of.

and or weather would support this currently :D

yeah, but the club isn't only about becoming an official, right?

I think we should change that. We could do a club monthly that benefits local tournaments and courses for which you receive some sort of discount if you're a member. And/or maybe we could sweet-talk Mr. Wind into drawing us a logo and put it on some discs to raise money for the club (discount for members). I'm pretty sure Innova and Discraft both have club fundraiser programs that don't require you to buy a large quantity up front. We could do these things without member discounts and just not charge dues... there are lots of options that don't require much in the way of administration or out-of-pocket cost. I have a few contacts in clubs who do this now, if we're interested I can make some calls and get some info.

I'd just like to see the club be something more than a list of people. I think $1000 might be a bit lofty for the first year's sponsorship goal... but I think we can try to sponsor as much as possible. The more we do to raise money for the club, the less we end up having to shell out from our own bank accounts, plus it gives everyone in the club an opportunity to help out rather than only those who can afford sponsorship money.

I'd be willing to run one or two per year. I think we can split up that duty between those who are willing and do okay. I owe Bryan some software training sometime soon... maybe he can trade me that for some TD training :D

Just some thoughts... but I think we can really do something cool with this club without letting it get too out of hand and complicated (or painful).

[baldguy]

here's a thought - should we plan some sort of meeting (read: beer drinking with possible poker) to talk about this stuff?

Also, you might get ahold of Hosher and the Bitner boys about club membership / participation.

they both know about it and didn't act on it

[hammer55]

No sweet talk'n necessary. I would jump at the chance to do a disc design or even a cool t-shirt for the club. Discs and t-shirts would be awesome fund raisers.

[baldguy]

I have some ideas for a logo that I think you could incorporate into your design. I think a very old guy (walker, DG cart, etc) shaking his fist at a very young kid would get the point across with some comic relief at the same time. Put discs in their hands or bags on their shoulders (except the old guys, they need carts ;) )... that coupled with your artistic ability could turn out very sweet :).

[bambam]

Adam, when do you plan on another mailing? Or do you even have any additional memberships to send in, at this point, other than mine?

I'm ready with the money and the paperwork, whenever you are.

[okcacehole]

Ryan..sign up online..go to the pro shop..

Duke - did you see my previous post that you owe Steve Wind $10?

[bambam]

Yes, I signed up... and what do you mean by "another Okie"?? I sure hope you're not classifying me as such... :eek: :D

[okcacehole]

No..another one of my good buddies from across the Red River signed up under our club...

[gnduke]

Duke - did you see my previous post that you owe Steve Wind $10?


How previous ?
I don't doubt your word, but don't remember going into debt to Mr. Wind.
My memory is notoriously poor though.
