Kick Out the Yams going big

[bobsted]

Kick out the Yams is Nov. 17 at the Meridian Sun (Ball) Golf Course, http://www.meridiansungc.com/page/197-6331.htm, in Haslett. The course for the most part will follow the regular course and be par 72. We went out earlier this week to layout the general layout of the course, but will not have it finalized until next week. I expect the distance to be similar to Byrons 13,000. I will keep you posted.

The tournament will be singles with 1 round of 18 and probaly 1 round of 9, unless we lucky and have time for more. Lunch will be available on site for $5. Registartion day of will be 7:30 to 8:30 with tee off to follow shortly after.

Registrtion should be available on line shortly at http://www.teamoverthetop.com/TOURNAMENTS.htm. For more info on the tournament or a pre reg form you can go to http://www.ccrdiscgolf.org/Kick_Out_The_Yams.htm.

wow thats sweet bob, nice work...
when's it goin in, can we get on it before the event at all, need 2temps lemme know...
/guessing it'll be the same chainstar fleet as byron day-of

probably hard to call an early start time if frost is a factor...

[bruce_brakel]

Frost might not be a factor that late in the year, if the grass is already dormant. Frost is an issue when the grass is still green. I'm sure Bob is on it.

Drew Dutton is one to thank for getting the course. Drew's brother works there and after hearing about Byron they really wanted a tournament. If it goes good, then we will do it again next year, but when the weather is a little nicer.

The course is going to go up the week of the tournament I am not sure what day yet though. I will let you know when I know for sure along with what the cost per round.

Discraft came through for us and loaned us 18 baskets for the tournament.

I set the early start time in hopes of getting going early and maybe having time for 2 full rounds. That may be dreaming though.

[SarahD]

Is there going to be a bushel of free yams along with registration? Perhaps nice and cooked - possibly mashed - with some butter, pecans and 100% pure maple syrup mixed in? mmmm

[valkhere]

Hey Bob and Brad - The flyer states the correct course, but the tournament schedule on the CCR site still says Grand Woods, you may want to change that... :)

[valkhere]

I just emailed Karolyn to change the PDGA tour page to say Haslett instead of Grand Ledge. Funny how the pdga page said Grand Ledge, the CCR site says Grand Woods.... :)

[bobsted]

Thanks Erin. It is fixed now.

[valkhere]

Sweet, will there be golf carts?

[bobsted]

There will be golf carts.

It appears to be a cart fee, not a greens fee. :) Apparently the pros are using carts?

[bobsted]

Meridian Sun is getting $10 for every player that we have. At our tournaments we usually pay out ams at 125%, but at this tournament with $10 cart fee we are only going to pay out at 100%. We can do this because we give away discs at higher price then what we paid for them. Pros on the other do not make a profit for the club so we can not cover that fee for them. Turnout usually dictates how much the club adds to the pro payout. If we have good turnout the club might add $100 to the pro payout, which if there are only 10 pros would make up the difference.

[bobsted]

All players will be using golf carts.

[bobsted]

The course is totally laid out. The baskets are going up next Wednesday afternoon, so the course will be playable on Thursday and Friday. I am still working with them to see if carts will be available on those days or not and what the cost will be for those days. I will let you know as soon as I know.

Hole 1 - 713 Par 4
Hole 2 - 420 Par 3
Hole 3 - 930 Par 4

[bobsted]

The course will be up on Wednesday and available to play on Thursday and Friday from 12:00 until 5:00. The cost is $3 if you want to walk and $15 if you want to drive a cart. If you want to use a cart you have to start the round before 3:00.

[TrevorThorp]

Bob,

Can we get a list of registered players up on the forum?

[z Vaughn z]

Trevor is alive in the digital form!!!!

[ChrisWoj]

Side note: Nice streak Trevor... no downward ratings period in over two years.

I have uploaded the preregs they are at http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=6465


At this point I will start taking no money preregs. Just post a message or Email me and I will reserve you a spot. I will treat these the same way as Bruce does where if I reserve you a spot and you do not show up I will never reserve you a spot without money again.

Speak of the Devil! Put me down for a cashless pre-reg. Put me down for Pro Master. I might bag down to some am division if I wake up moving slowly on Saturday, but I shot Holly under par for 27 yesterday.

[bobsted]

I was wrong about a couple of thing. The course opens Friday at 10:00 and the cost is $5 to walk and $10 if you want a cart.

[TrevorThorp]

Where are all the Ann Arbor and Detroit poeples? I can't believe with the turnout and how much fun Byron is that more people are not coming to play this golf course with carts.

[Mark_Stephens]

Well, it was 30 degrees warmer during the practice rounds, not to mention not the beginning of firearm deer season.

[bruce_brakel]

I have not seen the course yet. Don't know whether it is good or lame. I'll be there for the tournament.

The first Byron tournament only drew 60 players or so. But 60 in late November was good enough to explain the concept to the owners. How many golfers would they have in late November?

Hopefully they are gas carts? If you have not played a tournament with carts, wear extra layers. You don't get warm from walking and there is some wind chill zipping around at 20 mph or however fast those carts go.

[jHarr]

daconillius played it, said there was some water :eek:
Im throwin it blind as well...
gorgeous mid30s morning today at gWoods, somehow a lil flurry with similar temps sounds much friendlier than the weather y'alls had at the byron dubs...

Registartion day of will be 7:30 to 8:30 with tee off to follow shortly after.


longer than the players cup without the pesky crocs, manatees and palm trees...
cya tomorrow- get there!

[z Vaughn z]

No more tournaments for me this year. Good luck to all.

[tacimala]

The Ann Arbor area is also home to UofM....so that probably put a kink in some plans.

I'd be there too, however, I'll be watching THE GAME from the "swim up bar in Cancun: :eek:

[bruce_brakel]

It's always tough when a non-fan accidentally schedules against the local equivalent of the Super Bowl! I'm the biggest non-fan you'll find among actual UM grads. I buy in completely to Jerry Seinfeld's analysis of sports fandom: The players change every year. Four years from now its an entirely different team from the one they have now. So what are you really rooting for after all? A color scheme on a uniform.

Go Maize and Blue. At least they are cynical enough to admit it and play right into it!

[TrevorThorp]

The carts are electric, but they do have windshields.

[Mark_Stephens]

Well hopefully you do not experience problems with the electric carts due to cold weather...

[bruce_brakel]

The carts ran fine. The tournament ran fine. I had to leave early because Kitten had steaks on the grill and I was riding with her husband.

With a couple of tweaks that would be a pretty good layout. I'd like to play it in better weather.

Thanks for keeping the pro masters together for the Final Nine. By the time the threesome caught up with us, they were on their last hole.

Looking forward to seeing if my round broke 900.

[jHarr]

can't believe mine did, that'll be a rating corrector :p
lost disc, too much ob, beers at lunch blahblahblah
'twas a destroyer fest for me, and I still threw short
riding carts to shots never got me real warmed up, guess the beer didn't either...

congrats to mr 32k for a win in our am1- his first!
thanks to all who helped, drew&bro, bob, chris, bradb, toy etc...

-word was maybe a dubs event in april and another singles event in sept, stay tuned come spring...

[lepricon]

No more tournaments for me this year. Good luck to all.



Why Dog?

[scottcwhite]

Why Dog?



Strict off-season training regimen?



Sharpie ink skin poisoning?



Decided to pursue internet modeling?

[z Vaughn z]

My arms fell off the other day while I was sleeping. I know of a guy that can put them back on, so I should be good come January.

[janttila]

Just a brief hiatus?

[KDiscin]

I think he is just testing the water for retirement.

At least upgrade them to stage 2 before you re-assemble.

[z Vaughn z]

Having my offseason time. 40hrs work + 10-30 hours of disc golf every week is taxing.

We can continue this on the Slow Message Board thread. Don't want to continue to the thread drift.....

Way to go Treece!! Nice win!

[lepricon]

Yep, Good win and nice beard!!!!!
