check your PMs

[n8bitner]

This is one important disc eh?! :confused: /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[daltonseabolt]

So....I heard J.d say his sponser and 1 one of them were titledisc so now titledisc is sponsering people.

[okcacehole]

It is for the history...I don't know what it is but if Cam sent if from the east coast it has some history

:) :)

[baldguy]

So....I heard J.d say his sponser and 1 one of them were titledisc so now titledisc is sponsering people.


yes, I am now sponsoring a select few. JD is the only player I'm fully sponsoring but I have given some gear out and will give those players more gear when I have it. Just trying to give back as best I can. I'd sponsor everyone if I could afford to :)

[RustyP]

thanks for the 'grats everyone! Great golfing with you Bucky and JJ...I'm adopting "Bearded Sensi" as my new official nickname ;)

i got some mad tree love this weekend on a few holes (my forehand flipped left on Coyote #9 but kicked all the way down to the green, about 40' out)...my discs were really listening to me for once! I gave one of Bucky's discs a good talking-to before his shot and he got some love too...so I'm adding "Disc Whisperer" to my list of aliases.

Josh - those Titledisc shirts are SWEET! You still taking orders for the next run?

[baldguy]

I have some left, going to post a list (with pics) this week. I also will be taking orders for the next run although I'll have to gauge the styles I go with by interest. The dry-fit tees will be the same or very similar. The big-logo sponsor polos are likely to be a one-time run. That will depend on who else wants one :)

ONE TIME ONE TIME :DI want them to be a Limited run :D

[baldguy]

whatever! If you don't pick yours up soon I might have to sell it to Rusty ;) :D

[RustyP]

Josh, I'd LOVE to have one of those large logo sponsored dryfit polos if you've got one in a medium...if not, I'm happy to have a 2nd Run Titledisc shirt ;)

[Big E]

whatever! If you don't pick yours up soon I might have to sell it to Rusty ;) :D



What the? :confused: I was planing on meeting up with you this weekend where are you going to be :D

[Thor]

Man, Josh I want one like JJ's with the big LOGO on the back for reelz. And I got you this week, for what I owe.

i kaint see it, some one describe it to me, slow and sensual like :)

[baldguy]

I don't have any more of the big logo-type shirts but I can definitely make some if they are what people want, I just have to place an order. What sucks is that I can't pick up the shirts in town any more because I bought almost all that was available. I am looking at placing an order with the manufacturer but I'll see how that goes. If I have to go to a different (similar) shirt, I'll have to charge $35 for the big-logo shirts. Is that too much?

I could also take some of the leftovers I have back to the printer and add the big back logos... so they would have the small logo on the front with text, and a larger version of the same on the back. slightly different from the once I've already printed... let me do some thinking on it :)

oh yeah, embroidered solid (textured) polos should be available after I get back from Florida. more info on those soon

[Thor]

What about taking mine back as well as the leftovers to have the big logo put on the back. Think on it and see what comes up.

[baldguy]

I can do that, only if they're all one color ink (to make it cost-effective). It's going to cost another $5 per shirt though at that quantity. I also think I'd prefer to wait just a little bit to see if anyone else wants the same thing. What do you think?

Either way, the second run will be a little bit different. There will still be some exclusivity for those that got one out of this batch :)

Flip Flopper :eek: SO is the international man of mystery going to let me know where I can find him this weekend or should I search the boards for the last month for a random post :p /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D

[baldguy]

I prefer that you search till your fingers bleed. :D

You could also come out to Mesquite on Sunday. Going to be playing a round and checking out the new basket placements and the layout for three temp holes we'll be using in the Mesquite Open. Could use some more sets of eyes on the proposed layout

Wow I may have to get a gas lone to make it that far :p Are you playing Saturday at all?

[Big E]

I cleared it with the boss what time Sunday? I will have your money in hand :DThanks again for letting me in the cool club :eek: :DBy the way your in box is full so you cant get PM's :D

[garywatts]

thats not the only thing, did ya get a good look at the size of that thing sitting on top of his shoulders :o

[baldguy]

I'm thinking either 9:00 or 10:00 on Sunday but I need to find out when and if Gary will be available. I'll let you know :)

oh and my PM box has available space again... for now

[garywatts]

what about saturday?? KC Pro said he might join us

good luck to all the OMB/YGB's going to worlds

[gnduke]

Earlier is better.

[baldguy]

I should be able to get in a morning round somewhere else on Saturday, but I think Mesquite needs to be Sunday. say... 9am?

[gnduke]

that works.

[okcacehole]

Saturday we will be at the Lake at 10am and then Todd is going to help Redman move some workout gear to Carrollton..might play GB after that

[Thor]

where, when and how much$ is a mini sat morn??

[baldguy]

I'm in for Lake at 10am on Saturday and Paschall at 9am on Sunday

Bucky - There's a mini @ WO Harrington in Irving on Saturday mornings, although the course is rather plain. I think they go to Fritz after for some dubs. The Lake has a 2pm mini - you could play with us at 10:00 then in the mini at 2:00... I think there's a Denton mini too, but meh.

[Thor]

Ok I think I may play with yall and then the lake mini, prepare for some domination. :D.. When is the next Fritz mini? Next sat? Sounds like they alternate.

[bschweberger]

Thought I might get some help from one of the other big message board states, thanks in advance....

Billy Crump and Brian Graham have contacted Mike and Mike on ESPN thru the PDGA. They are trying to get them down to The USDGC this year and do a live feed during the event.

We need your help: to whomever reads this post, if you could just send an email to them and give them some good reasons why they should come down to The USDGC.

I am going to be emailing them several times a week giving them different reasons why they should give DISC GOLF a chance.

Billy wants thousands of emails to flood their computers. This could happen with enough effort from our community of Disc Golf.

The email is Mike and Mike (http://espnradio.espn.go.com/espnradio/email)

Thanks for all of your efforts

[DOC65]

Ok I think I may play with yall and then the lake mini, prepare for some domination. :D.. When is the next Fritz mini? Next sat? Sounds like they alternate.



This weekend the Irving mini is at WO Harrington as mentioned above. Tthey generally play WO once a month. All other weekends are at Fritz at 10:00am with sign ups ending at 9:45am.

[Big E]

I am going to try and show up around 8 and warm up playing the shorts, see the rest of you guys at 9am @ Paschall Park :D

[okcacehole]

50/50...

[Big E]

WOW late night huh :D

[baldguy]

I'm leaving in a few, should be there by 9:00. Somebody wake Murphy up :)

[okcacehole]

if you play 2 give me a call Josh...looks like Krell and Jones are not moving this early

[baldguy]

Had 6 of us for singles this morning at Paschall... including a Pinkie sighting. Nice playing with ya again, Frank :)

I think Pinkie and Bucky were tied up for the win, but I quit counting after hole 1 :D

The improvements are going to help that course out a lot, especially with flow from the long tees. The alternate holes are going to add a bit of spice as well. Just over 2 months till the Mesquite Open!

[okcacehole]

a Pinkie sighting :)

when are you and diedre leaving town? I have your $$'s for the shirts and the Flotbots CD for diedre

[baldguy]

We're leaving Thursday right after work. You playing a late round today?

[okcacehole]

I am up for some golf today since we didn't make the early round...let me know...

Krell is probably in and I think Todd is out...might give manny a ring and see how Fritz is looking...

give me a ring if you are getting back out

[baldguy]

Wherever I go I'd like to ride the bike since I just took the gas guzzler all the way to mesquite :). I'd prefer Lake, LL, GB, maybe even frtiz but that's pushing it a little bit... how late are you thinking?

[okcacehole]

hadn't thought about a time...just got off the phone with Manny and he is going to call if he can get out of heading to Lewisville for something with his brothers apt.

if we get motivated or you do give me a call ....

going to grab a quick sandwhich somewhere first...

[baldguy]

unrelated note: who do we know in the Carrollton area that plays DG and uses a Mac? Anyone that might have recently "lost" his computer?

[Thor]

I use a MAC but i didnt lose my powerbook.

[baldguy]

you were the first person I thought of when asked :)

If anyone knows of someone in this situation, please send me a PM

[reddman]

I'm typing on my Mac right now. I guess I didn't lose mine.

[baldguy]

lucky!

[gnduke]

I had mac and cheese for lunch. It's gone, but not really lost.

[okcacehole]

you'll see it again

[oceanjones]

Classy...or maybe classic...I'm not sure.

[Big E]

Hey on that note I still cant get out the wrinkles in my Title disc shirt tried to iron it with no luck! maybe take a hot shower in it :D

[oceanjones]

Yeah, I ironed mine as well. Still wrinkled. I'm gonna try a dry cleaner...I'll let you know how it goes.

[RustyP]

Hey on that note I still cant get out the wrinkles in my Title disc shirt tried to iron it with no luck! maybe take a hot shower in it :D



..or just gain some weight (specifically in the belly area) so you can fill it out more.

Speaking of which, Josh any new shirts coming soon? I need one for Louisiana States @ Lake Bistineau in October :D

[Thor]

Hang it in the closed shower with the hot water to steam it, if that dont work run it over repeatedly in ur car...then peel out on it

[Big E]

Hang it in the closed shower with the hot water to steam it, if that dont work run it over repeatedly in ur car...then peel out on it



You have seen my car it wont peel out may even get high centered on the shirt:D

[okcacehole]

The wrinkles stay in ...both of mine did it also

cheaper shirts but great designs...I'll still wear them on the course..just can't at work now

[Thor]

LOLOLOL..... :D

[oceanjones]

I will find a way to get the wrinkles out...mark my words.

[baldguy]

If you do, please let me know. The shirts that Deidre and I wear are not wrinkled at all, so they will definitely un-wrinkle... I just don't yet know what we did that you guys aren't doing. I'll be more than happy to let you guys come wash them at my house :).

I promise I will have a solution to the wrinkle problem. If anyone beats me to it, I will give that person a free dry-fit tee :)

[Big E]

the solution is........................ like rusty said if you get fat enough you will strech out the shirt and no wrinkles will show :D:p

[RustyP]

the solution is........................ like rusty said if you get fat enough you will strech out the shirt and no wrinkles will show :D:p



hooray...free shirt for me!!

[Thor]

Those shirts are still friggen sweet man!

I still want another one like we talked about at the lake. Yuo know wich one ;P

[garywatts]

I washed mine and then hung it up to dry, no wrinkles for me, now gimme me shirt

[oceanjones]

Ok...I turned up the Iron all the way and set it to steam. I was able to get the wrinkles out. I covered the decals with a tshirt while I ironed those parts. It took some time, but I think I got them all. I'll wear it and wash it and see if they come out.

[baldguy]

hopefully the wrinkles were just a result of the printing process and won't come back. I've washed my two shirts at leats three times now and still no wrinkles... I think you guys will need to fight over who gets the free shirt :).

Deidre and I are starting the Southern Nationals Am Championships tomorrow, here in Pensacola. Much smaller event than PDGA worlds, but at least they offer Intermediate :D. Should be fun, regardless. Hopefully some of these Florida-types want some shirts. We need gas money to get home ;) :cool:

BTW - I filled up for $3.41/gal in Jackson, MS. Then saw gas for $3.38. In the nearly 700 miles between Arlington and here, Jackson was the only place under $3.50. go figure.

[Big E]

We did fight I won. I will pick up my shirt soon as you get back! I would like to thank all that fought sorry for the woopen /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[reddman]

I think everyone voted me the winner of the free shirt. :cool::D:p

[gnduke]

My shirt still has wrinkles, no one gets the shirt until the wrinkles are gone.....

[oceanjones]

Gary...steam iron. It worked...cover the logo with a t-shirt when you iron that part... you really gotta get after it...get it uber hot

Disclaimer: If you burn your shirt im not buying you another one.

[oceanjones]

We did fight I won. I will pick up my shirt soon as you get back! I would like to thank all that fought sorry for the woopen /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif



1 hole playoff...I get a 5 stroke head start for providing a valid solution. :D

[garywatts]

sunday lake at 10 if there is no rain

[okcacehole]

You can fix mine next Justin :)

[reddman]

Justin has a wife who knows how to use an iron. Mail your shirts to Justin, and he will get his wife to fix your shirts.

There is your solution to all the wrinkled shirts. I'll pick up my free shirt next week.

[garywatts]

reddman u playin sunday?

[l_7_ltrain]

Hey,
I cashed at worlds !! $35...sweet, Played some of the greatest courses ever. Timber Ridge was on a ski slope, had holes like 715' down hill, awesome! 2 of the courses kicked my butt, lots and lots of trees in the fairways and I hit them all. Shot my first 1000 rated round on day one, and my putting was fine the whole week. I ended up tied for 84th, out of 200 plus players. I learned alot about myself and my game. First take your family with you when you go, so as to not get homesick, and second

[l_7_ltrain]

don't hit the trees in the fairway, but if you do, do it in a manner that your kick heads to the basket. Last but not least flick out of danger, not back into danger. Ben did well also..like 40something out of 90 or so. Met allot of great players. Watched David Feldbergh, Markus Kallstrom, and Nikko play at Osthemo. Flawless golf is all they do........

Congrats to all of our guys who went up to Worlds. A good showing for all and from the sound of Lionel a good time by all also.

[baldguy]

Deidre is now the reigning Southern Nationals Am Women Champion :).

She beat 8 other ladies to come out with a 3-stroke victory in the Am ladies division. She won a basket and a couple discs... valued at $411 . I finished with a terrible final 9 to end up tied for 19th out of 57. Somehow I got 21st place's payout instead of spliting it up... oh well. SN has a long way to go.

We're in Jackson, MS right now, heading back to DFW shortly. Can't wait to get home :)

[n8bitner]

Congrats D!!!!!!!!!

We had a blast in Michigan. Great terrain up in those parts. We all tried to represent...but I think that each of us had one course that we just could not figure out. For me,,,it was that stupid mountain. I was having flash backs of Flagstaff where the snobowl kicked my *****. Fun times though...Congrats to Jack and Parker on a stellar tourney. They were the only two of the group that made the semis I believe.

[RustyP]

Congrats Diedre and all the OMB/YGB Worlds attendees...nice finish Tabor!

ps - that free Titledisc shirt is mine, by the way. Getting fat IS a valid solution, and mine was first :D

[gnduke]

Getting fat doesn't take the wrinkles out, it just hides them.

[oceanjones]

Way to go Deidre!!!

Reddman... :eek: :eek: I am shocked you would say that. I'll have you know I did that ironing my self. (my wife refused :( )

[reddman]

reddman u playin sunday?



Is it too late to say I didn't make it out yesterday?

[reddman]

Way to go Deidre!!!

Reddman... :eek: :eek: I am shocked you would say that. I'll have you know I did that ironing my self. (my wife refused :( )



:D:D Just don't ever tell my wife about this message board, and the things I say on here. :p

[okcacehole]

where are the scores josh?? SNDG.org was not current last I checked and I guess it wasn't sanctioned?

Pros in 2 weeks...DJ and Tom are heading out there

[baldguy]

it wasn't PDGA sanctioned... SN doesn't jive very well with the PDGA. Having attended one of their "championships" though... they're nowhere near being able to compete with the PDGA. I don't like a lot of the things that the PDGA does, but at least they are *trying* to be a real sanctioning body. I dunno where scores are going to be posted or when. Just one more thing they can't seem to get right.

[reddman]

I dunno where scores are going to be posted or when. Just one more thing they can't seem to get right.



Sounds like a paid service you could start offering SN. :cool:

[okcacehole]

well they intentionally want nothing to do with sanctioning it as they can payout more to the players and less to the PDGA and its flat payouts

Did you get a chance to meet Jim Orum? He is a good guy that I bought my plastic from back in the late 90's

We'll have to see what DJ thinks about the PRO in a few weeks

2 more days of work and we get to hit the road for Okie Doubles

[baldguy]

Yeah, I know they don't sanction it for many reasons... on the surface it's about payouts, but in reality I don't think that's the reason. In fact, they pay out the same number of places that PDGA events do. They inflate the value of their merchandise so much that they're not really paying out more to anyone, they're just putting larger numbers on paper. They even put bag tags in their payouts which IMO is ridiculous. Basically saying "part of your payout is a donation in your name... to us." I'm not sure how this is much different from the PDGA's fees. I also think a lot of people forget that the PDGA's payout structure is only for the minimum payout. Added cash can be distributed however the TD likes. I'm not defending the PDGA here, just saying that if they wanted to get away from the PDGA way of doing things... they failed.

They used a *temp* 9 hole course in their "championship" that consisted of some poorly designed holes and served no real purpose. All attendees would have easily fit on two courses. Plus, the Am division was too large to fit on 9 holes. So rather than have 3 pools play each of the 3 courses once, some divisions played the same course twice. Then they had a cut at 50% of each division and Am men ended up playing the temp 9 for the final 9... blind. There was poor communication, poor planning, and poor decision-making. Even the decisions they made, they did not stick to. Pools were changed at the last minute, at least partly due to the fact that they decided to take registration the day of the event, in spite of their long-advertised "no signups the day of" rule. The first round started 45 minutes late, and the "30 minutes between last card in and start of final 9" was actually almost two hours. There were no readily apparent officials on the courses, at least not for any of the 4 rounds I played. Their "skills competition" was a joke on many fronts. they used an inaccurate range finder for distance and they allowed skips but no rolls. The putting and upshot skills weren't much better... overall a poorly run event. They didn't even have a PA for announcements during the awards ceremony, so people in the back struggled to hear over the unruly crowd.

It was the first time I've ever seen bicycles given as payout in a DG tournament but i'm not sure how I feel about that... I can say that since everyone drove to the tournament, many people a long distance, such an awkwardly shaped large prize was tough for many people to carry back home.

There were good points - food available on the course was great, a tractor and trailers to carry players from HQ to their course was a nice addition, and the players packs were decent. Awards for points leaders were cool, and they did a custom dyed mini for each player who registered early, even if they did misspell Deidre's name (I sent them an email correcting it weeks before, but they apparently ignored it).

I've played a ton of tournaments. I've run a few. I know what I expect from an event and I did not feel like they came through. I definitely did not feel like it was a championship-caliber event.

[okcacehole]

bummer to hear and a bicycle :) WOW..

what type of basket did she get to take home?

Considering how long it has been going it definately doesn't sound like they have progressed a lot to current "standards" for an event, but I will still be interested to hear DJ's remarks..hopefully it isn't just to get your money headed to the pro payout..ala KCWO

[baldguy]

I'm trying to figure out what type of basket it is... it's a portable DGA with 24 chains in 2 rows. No number plate. It looks like a mach II except it has 24 chains. it's a decent basket, for sure... retail on the mach II is $293, so I figured $300 to be safe. I'm sure it was inflated, though... her payout was $411, and that was the basket, a bag tag, a champion monarch, a KC Aviar, an Innova Chamois ("Shammy"), a Koozie, and a plaque trophy.

I'm not saying that they payout was too small, I'm just saying that the $411 number is to high. It's really closer to $350, and that's what they should have put down. Even if I include $25 for the trophy, the numbers are still off. Besides, trophy costs are supposed to come out of the overall purse as a tournament expense, not individual payout numbers. At least when DJ goes, they can't give him a check for $350 and tell him he got $411 :D

[okcacehole]

The Mach V has 24 chains and runs in the $300 area..so tourney $350..

[Dstruchen]

Thanks for the congrats guys!

[dryhistory]

Thanks for the congrats guys!



i am still confused, what tournament was this? :confused:

[RustyP]

Sucks to hear your experience with the SN was kinda crappy. I haven't yet played any large SN events, just a handful of one-dayers here and in Shreveport. I don't know what the root of the whole PDGA versus SN thing is, but I get tired of reading about it every time I check the SNDG.org message boards...almost every thread eventually spirals downward until it's nothing more than a discussion on how badly the PDGA sucks, how it hates Southerners, and is an evil organization out to rob players of money.

...thankfully the Louisiana State Championships are PDGA sanctioned :D

[baldguy]

The Mach V has 24 chains and runs in the $300 area..so tourney $350..


yeah but the mach V has 3 rows of chains. This one is only two. Oh, and the prices they list on the DGA website are the prices that *should* be used in tournaments... who knows.

edit: I went and double-checked, and this basket does have three rows of chains. I guess it is worth the $350 they charged :). I still don't like the bag tag as a payout prize though...

[baldguy]

Thanks for the congrats guys!

Looking forward to playing them this Thursday and/or this weekend

Just got back from Okie Doubles - 220 players!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Thats a lot of baggers :DI was thinking of playing it Friday some time during the day!

[steve_parker]

"Just got back from Okie Doubles - 220 players!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

scores or it didnt happen !!!!!

seriously..... how did everyone do.....

[baldguy]

I'm thinking about playing the new GB layout tomorrow morning if anyone else is off work :)

[steve_parker]

what time Josh?

[baldguy]

Holy jiminy, parker is posting on the boards :)

like 9:30 or 10:00? I just don't want to fight traffic getting there, other than that any time is fine

[okcacehole]

It was another amazing Okie Doubles...I am sure we will see the scores in a few days or so, but Todd and I took 7th this year...we were in 3rd starting Sunday but went too slow on the best shot round and that killed us

Coda and Kyle won Pro, DJ and Scott won Pro Grand Masters, not sure about too many other divisions..

about 5 aces during the week that counted - 2 people aced that didn't pay in for the $920 ace pot

No bad weather at all this year...and barely any wind for Oklahoma

Mike and Wayne ran another quality event that was fun for all

[steve_parker]

give me a call in the morning when you head this way Josh....

walked 11 of the holes this afternoon.... all of them looked birdieable.... most with a midrange I suspect....

[Pizza God]

What hole in Carrollton is not birdieable

[baldguy]

if you're talking about the beltbuster course... several of them are real par 4 and par 5 holes. Even the backwards long course, as marked, has some true par 4s. Still "birdieable" as long as you mean that taking a 3 on a par 4 is a birdie. :)

[Big E]

Did you ever make it out to play the new pin locations?

[Pizza God]

I have not played the backwards course yet, however I have birdied every hole in Carrollton at least twice.

#16 at Jimmy Porter was twice, once with a roller and once with an air shot.

At Greenbelt,
#12 - I have hit several times from the bottom of the hill all the way to parking the hole.

#17 - usually roll this hole, several birds that way, however I only have one bird from an air shot that was a putt. (i have a field ace on this one too)


Time to bounce a thought.

The way the two courses are set up is #3 is the 1st hole of the North course, this ends at #9.

The West course starts with #10 and runs to #2.

I am thinking about putting in the C hole and skipping hole #10 all together.

So now hole 1 would be #11 and end at #2.

What do you think????

[okcacehole]

#10 has been the CTP hole for years, but any of them could be

C hear's a lot of "FORE"

are you talking about just 36 holes for the tourney instead of 42?

IMO

[Pizza God]

Also, it would be easy to add a hole to the course this way. Add back in B or A and add #10 to the North course.

Now to add another hole would be a little different. (plus mean using a temp hole on the north course.)

[Pizza God]

36 holes is the plan. I am really trying to keep it simple for me this year. I don't have the time to get out and do things.

My next goal is to get my laptop to work off a wireless internet card :D Updated info from the course!!!!

I have the card (thanks to Mr. Jim) I just need to get it to work on my laptop. Right now it is backup on my stores computer.

[Big E]

I'm thinking about playing the new GB layout tomorrow morning if anyone else is off work :)



Well how did it go?????????

[Thor]

ehh

Too bad there are no trees in the area at all... Very lil to work with out there.

[Big E]

Wow that a great review! :( So its not worth a trip from south Arlington to check it out on Friday?

[Thor]

haha, well IMO no. It's new but it's still hyzer towards the creek on most holes. If your gonna play the turney then i would say u should check it out before hand but a trip just to play, NO.
7 baskets are by 17and 18 across the street and the other 11 are by 6 and 7 across the street and in all you trek thru Carrollton seemingly on a 10 mile excursion.

Just my opinion, I realize theres not alot to work with out there. No offense to whoever laid it out.

[Big E]

Thanks in advance maybe I will play ZBoaz Friday when all the little punks are not out there:D

[Big E]

Just got a call from Kevin, he is meeting with the Bob Brady from the City of Carrollton, seems that people have been Drinking and cussing over on the holes across Josey, they want the baskets pulled NOW.

City Counsel is already involved.

Time to make some phone calls.




Problem solved! Anyone up for playing Lake Lewisville Friday early! Hey BBD it may help get that bad taste out of your mouth after playing the new Greenbelt holes :eek: jok :D

[Thor]

Im up for the beer creek mini tonight 6 pm correct? How many spots typically pay out?

[Big E]

I think last week we had 8 players and they payed out 3 spots. I have to pick up the kiddo so have fun! Next week maybe :D:confused: :D

[okcacehole]

are the pads marked out on the new holes out at GB?

I think we will at least give it a shot tomorrow for some smack talk Thursday

[baldguy]

36 holes is the plan. I am really trying to keep it simple for me this year. I don't have the time to get out and do things.

I have the scores covered, Bryan. I have plenty of wireless access :).

I did get to play the extra holes yesterday and I agree with Bucky's assessment. Not bad, by any means... just not complicated enough to warrant practicing. Every hole except for maybe 2 of them will be easy to assess the first time you play it. I think a few holes could stand to stretch out a bit to improve difficulty, but they are fun to play as they are. Expect to score a couple strokes lower on the temp 18 than you normally do on the permanent 18.

Eric, if you're serious about playing the Lake, I'm in :)

[okcacehole]

so are the pads marked????????

[Thor]

Most pads are marked with flags Murphy. A few aren't, but we found a good spot.

Anyone playing draw dubs mini? Murhp Todd Parker etc? Might as well get paid playing dubs.. :)

From Pizza's post in the other thread:


Well after all the good reviews I got from the west side of Josey, they are gone.

It seems the actions of a few affect the many, 2 people who live over there put up suck a stink because of a few beer drinking cussers all 7 baskets on the west side of josey have to be relocated.

The good news is the City is actually going to do the moving this time.

[Big E]

Okay see everyone Friday at 9 :confused:

[baldguy]

I'll be there at 9:00, E. if I'm not, call me :)

[Big E]

Long night at "work" :DSounds good I might also play a round from the longs at LL woods.

[Thor]

fritz mini 10:00am anyone else?

[okcacehole]

Parker and I will be there to whoop on you :)



...errr..well maybe...now it looks like Parker, Gary and Jack are McKinney bound

[garywatts]

that be correct, mckinney at 10am, come on smurf and join us.

[okcacehole]

I'll be there...Manny is still out of town and didn't hear back from Charles

[Thor]

Parker is becoming notorious for that, but if you go murph I will see yah there.

[18567]

Nice round this morning at Mesquite, but too bad not all of us could stay for 2 rounds. Kevin with a sweet ace even though it was only 172 feet:). Looks like a few of us are going to play Greenbelt at 10AM and I believe another group is meeting at Cedar Hill at 9AM(can't completely confirm as I wasn't part of the planning for that round). The 10AM can be extended to 11AM if needed, but I figured that we need to get out before it gets too hot. See you in the morning.

[oceanjones]

If you make it 11am, I can make it.

[18567]

Looks like 11:AM is what it will be at Green Belt today. Parker and Jack were at Cedar Hill at 9AM.

[Giles]

ha, wrong and wrong

The VHS cassette is a 7 ⅜" wide, 4" deep, 1" thick (187 mm × 103 mm × 25 mm) plastic clamshell held together with 5 Philips head screws. The flip-up cover that protects the tape has a built-in latch with a push-in toggle on the right side, as seen in the Bottom View. The VHS cassette also includes an anti-despooling mechanism as seen in the Top View, several plastic parts near front label end of the cassette between the two spools. The spool brakes are released by a push-in lever within a 1/4" hole accessed from the bottom of the cassette, about 3/4" in from the edge label. There is a clear tape leader at both ends of the tape to provide an optical auto-stop for the VCR transport mechanism.


Mostly re-wound VHS cassette tapeThe recording medium is a ½ inch (12.7 mm) wide magnetic tape wound between two spools, allowing it to be slowly passed over the various playback and recording heads of the video cassette recorder. The tape speed is 3.335 cm/s for NTSC, 2.339 cm/s for PAL. A cassette holds a maximum of about 430 m of tape at the lowest acceptable tape thickness, giving a maximum playing time of about 3.5 hours for NTSC and 5 hours for PAL at "standard" (SP) quality. Other speeds include LP and EP/SLP which double and triple the recording time, for NTSC regions. These speed reductions cause a slight reduction in video quality (from 250 lines to 230 lines horizontal); also, tapes recorded at the lower speed often exhibit poor playback performance on recorders other than the one they were produced on. Because of this, commercial prerecorded tapes were almost always recorded in SP mode.


VHS M-loading systemAs with almost all cassette-based videotape systems, VHS machines pull the tape from the cassette shell and wrap it around the head drum. VHS machines, in contrast to Betamax and Beta's predecessor U-matic, use an M-loading system, also known as M-lacing, where the tape is drawn out by two threading posts and wrapped around the head drum (and other tape transport components) in a shape roughly approximating the letter M.


The interior of a modern VHS VCR showing the drum, tape, and cassetteVHS tapes have approximately 3 MHz of video bandwidth, which is achieved at a relatively low tape speed by the use of helical scan recording of a frequency modulated luminance (black and white) signal, with a down-converted "color under" chroma (color) signal recorded directly at the baseband. Because VHS is an analog system, VHS tapes represent video as a continuous stream of waves, in a manner similar to analog TV broadcasts. The waveform per scanline can reach about 160 waves at max, and contains 525 scanlines in NTSC (486 visible), or 625 lines in PAL (576 visible). In modern-day digital terminology, VHS is roughly equivalent to 320 pixels of horizontal resolution with a signal-to-noise ratio of the image at 43 dB.

what have I done to the thread?!?!?!?!!!! :D

[okcacehole]

Bucky - give me a call..lft you a msg about doubles on Friday...and Parker also

are there 18 markers for the backwards and can we put up a bigger marker to show everyone where to play??

[Pizza God]

I can make up signs for the holes.

Anyone have the distances???

Mostly we need a map for the players. Even a crudely drawn one will work.

[steve_parker]

I am on the map.....
will have done by noon monday....

[baldguy]

parker... is that noon today, or noon the day after the tournament? :)

I landed in the Bay Area today, and will be working all week but I was hoping to play some golf while I'm here. I only brought 4 discs with me but it looks like I'll only be playing some of the easier courses anyway. DeLaveaga is only about 35 miles from my office here but apparently it's under construction :(. The weather is amazing though, so I'll be playing somewhere!

Parker, seriously... the map... :D

[Pizza God]

Which Maps are you making????

North
West
or
Beltbuster for the Beltbuster Doubles.

[Pizza God]

Ok, I have little signs for Tee markers for the Beltbuster Doubles course.

I have stakes too.

I just need someone to put them out Friday

and how are those maps coming???

[Thor]

Parker should be done with the maps and distances! We walked the course sunday and it's ready to roll. I can put them out thursday evening or Friday morn which ever you prefer.

[dryhistory]

Dalton Landnut and Teaguestone will be at greenfelt by 5:30, murph? baggers?

[okcacehole]

We will be at GB this thursday playing and looks like Mesquite on Saturday for those who want to join

5:30 start Thursday
10am Saturday

[baldguy]

I think I can do Mesquite on Saturday.

[Thor]

I may make thurs but not so much on sat i got outlaws this weekend

[baldguy]

outlaws is for wusses but I guess that's cool

[Giles]

I'm in for Thursday.
Saturday is the last of the Harmony Hills minis before the Java Classic next month. It is singles and the course was in the best condition yet when we played it last month.

[Thor]

ur face is a wussy and im an outlaw fist painter.:)

[oceanjones]

Junk Punch first...ask questions later.

[baldguy]

well I used anti-outlaw facepaint for the game last night, and I couldn't wash it all off so you better watch out

[Thor]

I'm gonna take my watch out and paint it with your game and lookout for antimicrobial soap to clean off last night and make it better, well, I used to!

[oceanjones]

Wash the game with his watch face, then cruise to the finish with the soapy, painted, outlaw wax build up.

[baldguy]

now aint that a flip on the floo side of things? I think it might be nigh time for a lookout party on outlaw street!

[Thor]

well, seems theres too much hym-hawwin around and a lil bit too much folk trying a pull some sortsa flim-flam for me to do many partyN on any street. Much less outlaw street.

[okcacehole]

The other baskets are staying at GB for now so we can play 24 holes on the front side

McGillicutty will be in and around Bear Creek tonight for said mini.

The only thing gheyer than an impact might be a 150-Skeeter...oh wait :eek:

[baldguy]

whatever, mc-lose-on-the-last-hole-icutty :D

yeah my inbox is about to get cleaned. They need to up the limit to more than 480 :(. I'm always cleaning out ones I don't need to keep but there are some classics in there I just don't want to delete. silly PM system.

[kmcgill]

I'll have you know It took TWO holes to choke away that 2 stoke lead!

Maybe I should have been throwing an impact /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[okcacehole]

BC too far for me to get to after work

at least you beat Derek :)

[baldguy]

yeah dude, an impact would have shaved at least 100 strokes off your score for the weekend. if you had a 150 skeeter... man, I can't even imagine.

Hey Kevin Did I play a round with you at LL Woods and the Lake with BBD?

Good to see 8 of us out there again playing 20 holes in dubs

bucky/kevin -13, murphy/leonel -11, todd/giles -10 and Parker/Josh -5 or maybe 4..

Saturday 10am Mesquite

Good luck at Outlaws Buckles

[baldguy]

yeah my hinges were a little rustier than usual, but I hit almost every putt that was close enough to call makable :). It was good to play some golf for a change. I've been so busy with work and on the TD side of things lately that I nearly forgot what it's like to just go play with some buddies. Fun times.

[baldguy]

FYI - D and I are heading to Shaine's mini in McKinney in the morning. Whoever is heading out to Mesquite please do me a solid and check out which baskets have or have not been moved. I'll get out there at some point before the tournament but a progress report from an actual DG player would be awesome :)

[okcacehole]

no baskets have been moved

[baldguy]

boo. I'll get with the City folks and see if I can light a fire.

Harmony Hills is looking great. This should be a fun tournament. Shaine was also kind enough to kick in a cash sponsorship to the Alex Clark Memorial. Be sure to put the Dunn Memorial Java Classic on your list for next month. and sign up on titledisc :)

[okcacehole]

Giles..that's big of you to admit that crushing defeat. Not only did she beat you, she could have spotted you 2 and still won!
