Can't make it :(

[janttila]

That is too bad ZV. Maybe you should re-evaluate your priorities :D

[bruce_brakel]

I have found from last year's experience with Bark at the Moon that people who like to throw glow plastic in the dark are not the same people who like to play doubles in golf carts at a course with a clubhouse and a cash bar. Last year Bark at the Moon was full to foursomes and Big D was over full. This year we are taking fewer players, but our date wound up on the Mystic weekend instead.

We are now 1/3rd full for the doubles. If you want to play the Mystic and not miss out on the golf course action, we're doing singles on Sunday. That's a lot of golf on little sleep, but hey, you're disc golfers. You sleep at work on Monday.

Mystic is a great tournament. So is Byron Big D. Next year maybe we can do the Big D a little earlier, maybe against the Full Color Classic or something on the other side of the state.

There is a Big D Thread down in the Waterford Junior Girls' Club area. Waterford is a little closer to Byron, and the Junior Girls will be volunteering at Byron. I won't be watching here for cashless pre-reg, but i am watching the Big D thread and catching all my e-mail and message board mail here and at Discontinuum.org.

I'm looking for a partner. My rating sucks, but I can drive (my car, that is).

[janttila]

John, throw a post under the Waterford Junior Girls page. That is where everyone is watching and posting. PEACE

[markkruse]

i wish you would pick better dates for this event. i've already committed to help with/play mystic mills. for those committed to this byron dubs but who also love glow dg, please keep in mind that the following week i will be running the 4th annual bark at the moon this year at vienna park in temperance , mi. on nov. 3'rd. should be a SWEET time! for more info. go to www.tadga.com (http://www.tadga.com) or call me at 4195094028.

[bruce_brakel]

If it fills this year and they don't sell the course again, next year we should be able to pick our date. Last weekend in September would be nice. We're not likely to go to the USWDGC next year.

[romine]

Team "Get Some" will be there with bells on.

ETBP (estimated time of basket placement) will be Oct 12th. That is 2 weeks of practice time before the tournament. Cost for rounds will be either $10 or $15 w/ cart. I will double check that today to see what the cost will be. Usually it is the same as their fall prices for ball-golfers.

Anyone interested in playing and possibly volunteering to help w/ baskets on the 12th I will pay for your rounds that day. Just PM me for details.

[discow]

Pre-tournament rounds at the course will be $10 per round that includes a cart. The clubhouse is open on Fridays w/ beer specials. Food will be available, but limited due to end of season.

If you can't make the tourny, at least give the course a try. You will not be disappointed!

[DSproAVIAR]

That is awesome.
So will it be playable on Friday the 12th?

[Mark_Stephens]

My guess from helping put them out last year is MAYBE. It takes time to get all the baskets out on the course as you can only fit 1 -2 baskets on a cart. So, it depends on how many people can help on how soon Friday they will be playable.

[DSproAVIAR]

Alright, keep us posted. Would it bee possible to play a 1-round organized $5 or $10 doubles on a Sat or Sun before the tournament?

[Mark_Stephens]

Tracy will probably chime in with an answer but, I think that it would most likely be fine. People gamble all the time on the course and the more people that use the carts the better to the golf course...

[DSproAVIAR]

Ok I will wait for an answer and then hopefully get something together .

[janttila]

I'd be down for some dubs out at Willow Brook. I can't imagine we would need explicit permission to do so. A bunch of golfers show up and we play, the course is happy to make a couple of bucks. We don't need to advertise a money round to them, just do it.

[Mark_Stephens]

I was just basing that on the tournament itself. The course is getting a TON people out there to rent carts and to buy drinks/food. This would not be any different. Anyhow, if something was to go on the weekend prior that would be cool...

[DSproAVIAR]

I wonder if they would cooperate in opening the bar for a couple hours on a Saturday?

[janttila]

Okay, just spoke with someone at the course. The restaurant is only open from 4:30-9 on Friday for their fish fry. So if we played a Friday afternoon 9 the bar would be available :cool:

[bruce_brakel]

Feel free to organize any kind of warm up event you want to play. If the clubhouse is open it is $10 each to play and you'll get carts. What you wager on top of that is not an issue with them. They'll want you playing in foursomes and doing consecutive starts on hole 1.

Friday the 12th I'll get out there early to set up baskets. I'll bring my little red wagon and get the front nine set up at sunrise, assuming its not frosted and I'm not a big liar.

[discow]

Yes, continue on with the pre-tourny plans for playing. Golf courses usually work on tee times, but I guarantee nobody will be turned away. Set up a time with your group and give me a shout (8104718997 cell) . This is the one course that is less than a mile from my house.I'm always up for an early round.

[discow]

Friday's weather report: Partly cloudy, w/ a high of 53 F. Winds NW 10 to 20 mph.

Baskets will be in place tomorrow morning. Anyone wishing to get in an early round come on out. Greens fees are $10, that includes the cart. The clubhouse will be open for business later in the day. If you are coming out to help with baskets or just want to play an early round, I am offering to pay your greens fees. My cell 810-471-8997 Tracy. Or just call the course.810-266-4660

[bruce_brakel]

I will be out there to get some baskets in. I don't know if i'll be sticking around for disc golf. If the Sunday pre-MDGO meeting round is going to happen, I would like to get in on that if i'm feeling up to it. My diverticulitis is getting better, day by day.

It is really easy to get from the course to Todd's house. All of the north-south paved roads in that area, Oak Grove Rd., Argentine Rd., go down to M-59. Go east on M-59 and then start following your normal directions to Todd's house. I could lead you there.

[discow]

Baskets are placed!! Come on out!

[janttila]

AWESOME!!!! Nice work gentleman. I'm outta town this weekend but I'll bee stopping up next week.

[DSproAVIAR]

Yes I will bee out there with cash in hand showing support for supporters of disc golf.

[abee1010]

Showing athletic support???

Please keep golf carts on the cart paths as much as possible using the rule of perpendicularity. Never drive carts through roped off areas. Never drive carts on greens or golf tees. Avoid driving in areas where there is mud or standing water.

Except on hole 3, the white out of bounds stakes are casual for disc golf. The farm field is not out of bounds. The neighbors’ yards are out of bounds.

All tees are marked in pink on the paved cart paths except 15. Distances were recalculated this year with a wheel.

----------------------------------

Every team will get one of these on Saturday. Every group will get one on Sunday. If you are going out to the course, this is a lot more accurate than last year's that they have.

[janttila]

SICK!!! :cool:

[Mark_Stephens]

I have been told that the course would appreciate people calling ahead for tee-times if possible.

[janttila]

Hey Mark, can u post the course number 2 make things easy 4 us 2 call? Thanks!

There has been 18 golfers out there for the day when I left...

[janttila]

Is anyone interested in playing Willow Brook today?

[abee1010]

Yes, I would love to, but I am in San antonio...

[janttila]

Bee, have you found a ride from the population we spoke of previously?

[bruce_brakel]

The tournament is full, assuming everyone shows up. I'm taking a waitlist. You know, you can come on out, and if we can't get you in, you still have time to get to the Mystic Mills. Also, the Sunday singles are wide open. If you come out with your doubles partner for the singles, I'm fine with putting you in the same foursome for the first round.

[cbdiscpimp]

How many Open teams do we have???

Bee, have you found a ride from the population we spoke of previously?



I am afraid not. We did get wasted at Dave and Busters and I schooled a manager at hoops like 8 games in a row and he is still cussing himself out about it. Then I schooled my boss at shuffle board while he talked shoot the whole time so it did end up being a fun night. Unfortunately the meeting from hell that I am in right now is clearly going to carry over to tomorrow so I will not be coming back until friday. No byron practice for me...

They don't go out until RIGHT before the tournament. They are borrowed from Discraft. If they came up missing that would be BAD. ;)

[janttila]

It may make a good excuse for a Friday trip up there. :cool:

ENOUGH ALREADY.

[bruce_brakel]

I'll be up there Friday night, all night. Either we'll bring them in Friday night or I'll be sleeping in the parking lot with an ear open.

[SarahD]

Is anyone at all going to Byron either tonight or Friday? If so, and if the factory is on the way, we need a favor! The hardware for the baskets still remains at Discraft and you can be a hero if you're willing to swing by, pick it up and bring it to Byron as soon as possible so the baskets can be assembled. If you're that wonderful person, call Tracy G. at 810 471 8997. Thanks!

[discow]

Hardware problem solved! Thanks for all volunteer effforts!!
