Singles Tournament - Everyone plays Cali!! Meaning you get one extra shot per hole. TDs are Josh Romine and Daemon Stahlin. Daemon wanted to do this format based on the "California State Championships of Michigan" originally concept by B. Brakel.

If you bring in 5 food items you will get $5 off entry. We will donate all food to the Food Gatherers. http://www.foodgatherers.org/

We will have a Chili Cookoff for lunch. Currently there are 4 competitors to see who can make the best chili. We will have a quick vote to see who wins. All chili is free for players but we ask that you "donate" three food items to food gatherers.

We will have at least $100 added cash to the Open division for this unsanctioned tournament.

Ace Pool will be $5

**More details to come***

101 Licensed Apparel will be available to purchase and also as payouts. We have T-shirts (grey with big 101 logo in black on the front) and hoodies (black with 101 logo in white on the back).

Actually it is Bruce Brakel's idea for a tournament, but we stole it.

[bruce_brakel]

When I did it, it was the California State Championships of Michigan. It was lightly attended. Much fun but lightly attended. It is a format worthy of another try.

[cschwab]

i bet you would have had more people attend if there was also a CHILI COOKOFF!!!!!!!!

[savard1120]

Charles, could you please explain to me at length what goes into a chilli cookoff?

[NewDude]

I would like to enter the cook-off, but not in the chili category -- that is so cliché. I will be grilling turkey burgers with blue cheese on my portable propane grill. Merry Christmas!

[terrycalhoun]

Okay, Sheila won't play (too cold) but she'll enter her Cashew Chili. (Don't tell her I said so, but not as good as the spaghetti sauce I made for dinner tonight, containing something like 3 pounds of meat and mushrooms.) What fun!

Wow, cashew chili reads delicious. Please contact pres@local101dg.com to coordinate.

Lunch right now will be either at the HM activity center OR Josh Romines heated barn. It depends on the snow. If there is snow on the ground, the cross-country skiers will be taking claim over the activity center and lunch will be at Romines. If there is not enough snow on the ground for skiing, the Chili Cookoff will be in the activity center.

We should know 3-4 days before the tournament so there will be an announcement on the lunch location.

[NewDude]

Just wanted to clarify that I`m not insulting those who are making chili, I`m just trying to `kick it up a notch`.

Kidney beans and ground up cows is cool with me, I just like to mix it up, you know, keep people guessing. Complacency is the mother of obscurity.

Be safe on Dec 31st! No driving if you`ve had too many!

hmmm, seems like a thinly veiled potshot at chili connoisseurs to me! Turkey burgers with bleu cheese are good though,just make sure to add some burnt onions, tomatoes and zip sauce.

It will depend on the weather and the state of the teepads. If the weather is OK and teepads are clear then you can assume long tees for Open. Probably won't be decided until the day of the tournament though.

[ChrisWoj]

Cool, thanks Scott.

[terrycalhoun]

I'm hoping for clean tee pads and "shorts" for Advanced Ams or, wait(!), I can play Intermediate now :) wahahahaha!

Only ADV, INT, and REC are listed... is this tournament using the old setup for the Ams?

[scottcwhite]

This is unsanctioned, we have no ties whatsoever to the PD$A. Play where you think you belong.

Keep in mind that Pro and Advanced are the same price, and Pros play for cash with at least $100 added.

Also keep in mind that this is a charity event for Food Gatherers. Please bring 8 non-perishables for $5 off entry and chili lunch.

[ChrisWoj]

Oh no doubt, I'll be playing Open, the cost comparison made it a lock. I was just curious. I've heard a million good things about 101 run events, so I'm looking forward to it if I can find a ride up to A2.

[terrycalhoun]

Sheila, "she of the severed thumb nerve on her throwing hand," wants to know what the prize is for the best chili?

Do you even need to ask?

Obviously it's a bottle of 100% pure maple syrup to the winner of best chili.

[z Vaughn z]

I'm assuming you have already sent royalty payments to The Mamas & The Papas.

[janttila]

You comin' out ZV? It's not really winter golf if it's in the 60's.

[Roosta]

i think ama cass would like her rolyaites paid in beyond the grave twinkies

Nope, I'll be working this weekend. I'm in the process of moving to the west side of GR, no time for golf right now. I will be playing the GR Ice Bowl the 19th though.

[cschwab]

45 hours to tee off, who's got the chili ready?
Pads are clear, weather's looking good, partly cloudy and a high of 37. I'll bet it'll get up over 40.

[savard1120]

please stop with the negativity charles

[lepricon]

I vote for shorts for pros if non union members can vote

[cschwab]

me too.
are you comin out Mr. OROYC?

[lepricon]

Tryin to Sir Charles
Anything going on Friday.

[janttila]

I'll get something kickin before this event if you're headin' into town Mr. Koontz.

[ChrisWoj]

I vote in the opposite direction, longs. :)


(due to my standing with the Union, I think I may have swayed the vote in your favor, Koontz) :D:D

[dischick]

I vote for longs. Of course i wont be there, but the only exception i can see to having the pros play shorts is if there was a foot of snow. plus, the longs make for such better courses! carpe diem!

[cbdiscpimp]

I dont dare say it but its possible that you will see a Millz sighting at this winter event.......As long as the ground stays clear and the weather looks promising.......And I dont have to much fun tomorrrow night I should be there to test my Cali skills and hopefully send 101 how with a pat on the back and Cass Crew home with some cash!!!

[dischick]

a Millz sighting at the MIlls? i might have to call into work saturday.

[scottcwhite]

We are having a meeting tonight to discuss format for tomorrow, and this is all subject to change, but here is the most likely scenario:

Pros and AM1s will play OG longs 18 in the morning followed by Monster longs 9 in the afternoon. Monster holes will likely be 1, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18. Pros and AM1s will play this loop.

Other divisions will play monster 18 shorts in the morning followed by a loop of Original 9 in the afternoon.

For all chili cookers, we will be in the activity center for lunch.

Hope to see a good turnout tomorrow, don't forget your 8 food items for $5 off entry and free chili lunch.

[janttila]

Chili cookoff coming up! You's coming out?

[lepricon]

I'll get something kickin before this event if you're headin' into town Mr. Koontz.


It looks like we can't leave until Sat. which is dissapointing for me as I hear it's a party where ever you go.

[lepricon]

I vote in the opposite direction, longs. :)


(due to my standing with the Union, I think I may have swayed the vote in your favor, Koontz) :D:D


Thanks for trying but it looks like their choosing longs.

Reverse psychology doesn't work on 101. ;)

[jHarr]

well lookin like the greenlight just came on for me on this one
good way for a hudsonmills virgin to bust my cherry cali-style!

[cschwab]

I find your metaphor offensive.

The opposite for me, my ride is bailing plus I've been downing Theraflu all day (seriously, is it possible for anything to taste worse than that stuff?). Enjoy the tourney.

[savard1120]

results?

[ChrisWoj]

I heard Bennett won with -11 in Open

[savard1120]

bennett winning a disc golf tourney, i dont believe you

[terrycalhoun]

I have a few pics up at discgolfersR.us.

[SarahD]

Wow!!!!! I have never in all my life had such yummy chili as there was on Saturday. Daemon's was sweet with a gingery/lime punch; Jantilla's was 100% organic with great toppings; Sugar made chili with red wine, a microbrew, sirloin and sausage; the 4th one (can't remember the guy's name - sorry!) was sweet and hearty with a spicy zip at the end; and you haven't lived until you've tasted Sheila Calhoun's cashew / raison vegetarian chili.

THANK YOU TO ALL THE COOKS!!!

It was very motivating to bring in canned goods and get free chili lunch during a tourney. Nice format, 101!

[janttila]

And if anyone is wondering what the taste of victory is like, I can assure you it's 100% PURE MAPLE SYRUP. Yeah, POPE OF CHILI TOWN! :D

Congrats Joe, the dark horse winner of the chili cookoff. The real winner though was all of the players who got to try 5 excellent chilis as well as the bleu cheese turkey burgers with roasted red pepper and tomato.

Thanks to the cookers:
#1: Daemon
#2: Joe Antilla
#3: Al Schack
#4: Derrick (who's chili actually had a name: "The Creeper")
#5: Sheila Calhoun
Turkey Burgers: John Davis.

I will search around for the official voting results, but I do remember that Joe's chili received 11 votes, and the 2nd place chili was 7 votes.

Thanks to everyone who brought cans for food gatherers. We did get a large amount of cans and Romine's truckbed is now full.

The results, oh yea we did play a tournament. Open winner was Bennett, 2nd Koontz and 3rd was Mr. California Mark Ellis. Full results will be up on local101dg.com soon along with images.

We'll see you all on May 3rd for Loco at the Mills.

The Pope of Chili Town presents the championship chili.

[savard1120]

congrats joe

that post of the pope offends me and my beliefs of chilli charles

[NewDude]

Man, that was a fun tournament. The weather was awesome (for January in Michigan), and everyone seemed to be in a good mood. I kind of liked the long lunch, because I had nowhere else to be and it was nice to just relax and enjoy the chili and burgers and a few brews. Great job Local 101!

[cschwab]

Yes, job well done to first time TD Josh Romine.
The only hitch was a long lunch break, and that was planned in the schedule.

[jHarr]

great way to see Hmills for the 1st time-
sunny mild weather, thin winter foliage, nonrated, extra shot per hole, free chili....

thanks 101

[DMoney1420]

Congrats Joe the new chili pope come to brewer this weekend and put that pot to the test again. :)

Joe's chili is HEATED, If he brings a pot, it will fend off this weekends single digit temperatures.
