HawkGammon vs. LoneWolf vs. Jerman in 2008

[hawkgammon]

Well here we go again. After his defeat at the hands of <font color="red"> Your Disc Golf Hero </font> in 2007 the player known as Lone Wolf has been whining for a tie breaker rematch. After much negotiation and the crashing of a young apprentice we find ourselves here: Two players looking for resolution, with a third looking to build a reputation. This year we return to the format of 2004 in which the one of the three of us with the highest rating at the January 2009 update is the winner.

This year the rules are very simple...there essentially are none. Only sanctioned events can generate ratings obviously. Each of us is to free to play as many or as few events as we like to massage our individual rating to the point we feel is a winner. We are free to play whatever division(s) we qualify for. We don't have to be at the same event for it to count. For each solo event played the participant has to provide an update here of their performance. For an event where two or all three are present the player with the lowest score has to provide the update here.

There are two prizes this year. The third place finisher has to wear a custom pink polo in the first round of all his 2009 Association tourneys. On the left sleeve will be the losers name, and on the right sleeve will be the losing rating. On the left chest will be a phrase enthusiastically endorsing the Association. The third place finisher pony$ up for the polo. The second place finisher (i.e. other loser) has to buy the traditional victory meal for the winner at Americas finest dining destination.

Here are the opening statements from each of the participants:

HawkGammon: (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/playerstats.php?PDGANum=22013)

<font color="red">Hello sheep, it's the return of your International Disc Golf Celebrity from exile. As you fans know I am 2-1 in these year long bets. My opponents this time consist of a man known far and wide as The Load who had quintuple bypass surgery nine months ago, and a dwarf entering his second season of competition; and they wonder why I was less than motivated to take them on. My plan is to dominate as I have in the previous three battles and retire from these debacles 3-1 and leave Lone Wolf/Jerman and all the other wannabes to thrash about in 2009 and beyond. I think we all know how this is going to end. I'm keeping this brief as I know the weed has left most readers with short term memory issues. Godspeed.</font>

LoneWolf: (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/playerstats.php?PDGANum=19614)

<font color="green"> Enter the Joker:

The fans have asked for it, not it's a reality. The rematch to end all rematches, With one year long win each it would seem a fair matchup. But Hawk actually owns a dominating heads up record the past two years. I'm coming off a year where i lost badly to him and also had heart surgery. Quintuple bypass no less. And to top it off, Hawk has drawn his young protege Jerman into the fray to further increase the odds against me.
But a true supervillian like myself can offset impossible odds, befuddle multiple ambiguously [censored] superheroes, using his superior brainpower.
Yes, Hawk is definitely in better shape. Using a combination of workouts, supplements , and his huge ego, Hawk is probably in the best shape he's been in for years. He has the deck stacked against me, and he drew his little super buddy into the fray to insure he doesn't end up wearing the pink polo of shame.
But i think Hawk will be buying me Hooters this year, and possibly wearing that pink polo next year.
I am feelin better than i have in years and my endurance is up. I now work 15 minutes from home, so in addition to being able to play after work at rockburn on a regular basis, i plan on getting into better shape.If you review the rounds, clearly i have shot better rated rounds than either of them in the past, but my endurance let me down many times. Now that my ticker is fixed, I feel my endurance is on the rise. Will it be better than Hawk's? obviously not. But much better than Jerman, who has never won a sidebet against me, and when ahead has folded on command in the second round. He is one of the few people who had less endurance than 2%. At least he has a hot wife! And against Hawk, that endurance will be less of an advantage, and I will be able to ride my superior accuracy to a higher rating and a win.

So to Catman and the boy blunder, be ready. my Evil plan is about to be sprung on you! </font>

Jerman: (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/playerstats.php?PDGANum=32461)

<font color="blue">...and in this corner of the globe, hailing from parts unknown weighting in at 160 pounds of solid man is the disc golfer known through out the world as "the Jerman" (the crowd goes wild) Don't let his boyish good looks fool you folks of the gallery, he is as vicious as a pit bull when he has his straight as an arrow drive unleashed and will strike like a viper with his deadly accurate approach shots.

And now a few words from the man of the hour...

Thank you folks! I look forward to this epic battle with the two members of our senior community who have graciously accepted my challenge. Reading over the previous two years of wins and loses by each of them it was starting to get a bit boring albeit that we nearly lost Lone Wolf half way thru last season due to his poor diet and lack of exercise which was exciting to read about. Which brings me to my own personal story of near death experiences...

Let me start by stating that I have been out of semi-retirement from disc golf now for about 1 year. Now that the rust is knocked off the arm, so to speak, I have been training during the winter months to be in top shape this season after finding out in late September that my blood pressure was a staggering 142/98 - I nearly pulled a Lone Wolf!! It was due to poor diet choices (cheeseburger value meals nearly daily for 14 years and a 2-liter a day (of Pepsi) habit). Couple that with two small children work stress and hardly any exercise and I was a walking time bomb. Looking back on some of my summer rounds (110 degrees at the Rockburn Rumble and the Knob Hill event) I am surprised I did not collapse - I dehydrated myself rather quickly by indulging is sodium ridden Gatorade way too much at this time as well. Since finding this out I have made diet changes and do regular work out sessions weekly. BP is down to 130/84 with these changes and I am still tweaking the diet to avoid going on any medications. Previous to my semi retirement I played from 89-98 before suffering a work injury that severely strained a muscle in my back. Back then candy plastic and STAR plastic was non existent. Imagine my delight when I went to purchase new plastic and found all of these new plastics. I have been experimenting with new molds and plastics and have found my niche. During the last year I played in 3 sanctioned tourney's for the first time, finishing closer to the lead in each successive event. It was very exciting and challenging and I look forward to the 2008 season.

Work out/diet regimen includes:
bicycling for 45 minutes 3-4 days a week
hitting the solo flex for upper body dexterity (and to keep the ladies happy) 3-4 days a week
drinking 48-60 ounces of water a day
eating whole grains and fresh fruit as opposed to the cheeseburger diet

Having corrected the near fatal diet issues and being on a steady work out plan now gives me the physical edge hands down. I'd have to say that i am the early favorite in this challenge for many reasons. I purchased a Mach 5 basket this fall and have placed it in the back yard and throw at least a hundred putts and approaches on the weekends (weekdays it gets dark before i get home from work) I am in my mid 30's and am getting into the best shape of my life. My competitors are mid to upper 40ish and are facing ED issues that will surely creep into the back of their minds during match play as they try to keep their putts up! I will be coaching the Clinic League Mudcats again this year (giving back to my community is a high priority in my life) and this will only strengthen my mental focus more. While it may limit some of my sanctioned tourney play in the spring since it will chew up my Saturday's from April to the end of May I will have a wide open summer to travel and compete and raise the current rating from 906 up to a solid 930ish since my supermodel wife does not teach all summer long and likes to travel around this country of ours with children in tow as she visits childhood friends in Vermont and North Carolina. I am starting out with a lower rating than the seniors I am battling with but have the upmost confidence that I will raise the rating at each event this year while these two clowns struggle to keep hope alive. I would not be surprised if an assassin try's to take out Hawk on Tour this year due to his highly controversial comments on this site and Lone Wolf will have a difficult time pulling himself away from the buffet between rounds and may show up too late to make the second round and DNF his way into a downward spiral of a Mickey D's McFlurry!

This concludes my opening speech and I look forward to see all of you on the Tour this year and don't be a stranger when I come to your town to play! </font>

[hawkgammon]

I am feelin better than i have in years...



Translation: Not dead yet!


my blood pressure was a staggering 142/98



Translation: Dead man walking!


BP is down to 130/84 with these changes and I am still tweaking the diet to avoid going on any medications.*



Translation: I might complete the season.


drinking 48-60 ounces of water a day**



Translation: This is water contained in sodas and barley related beverages.

*Your Disc Golf Hero's blood pressure routinely clocks in at 110/70. Who are these stiffs to be?
**YDGH downs 175-225 ounces of H2O per day without breaking a sweat.

[Dick]

200 ounces of water a day? do you walk around with a catheter and a bag?

[JERMAN]

lone wolf says i fold on command during the second round...but if you look at my round ratings you will see i play better during the second round...much like the real dr evil there is a hole is his theory as wide as the gap between his ears! :p

and mr 200 ounces of water must never leave the bathroom, wait it all makes sense now - cue the foot tapping man in the next stall :o

[hawkgammon]

do you walk around with a catheter and a bag?



Does that thought make you hot?

[hawkgammon]

lone wolf says i fold on command during the second round...



I believe he was basing that on information from Odeana.

[JERMAN]

it appears ydgh has once again exiled himself from the pdga and all of the sheep which means he will not compete in any events this year which translates to a DQ (disqualification and drama queen) move on his part. i do not foresee him returning anytime soon - i do have a strong feeling he will try to hold out and say that his current rating is in tact and that until both of us rise above it he is not the loser, but the agreement was based on competing in 2008 and ending the year with a rating therefore not competing is grounds for instant DQ which = loser /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

lone wolf and i will be commencing the bet with an unofficial battle this saturday at the rockburn ice bowl/chili cook off, highlights to be posted after the event as sort of a precursor to the way this thing will unfold in the upcoming months...hopefully he will sample the chili after the round so the air remains refreshing during the round :)

[Dick]

hmmm, since Hawk is out, does the loser still have to get the pink shirt?

also i assume our standard 5$ sidebet is on for sat? maybe you can win for a change, but i doubt it.

[JERMAN]

why certainly sir - the loser (you) will be wearing the fashion statement of the year in 2009 and the beauty of it all is you get to pay for it too :)

5 bones as usual, you are after all on your home course - i dub this "the year of the Jerman winning Lonewolf's bank roll" :eek:

[JERMAN]

an update to two "non pdga" events -

chilibowl at the rock 1/26
jerman 64 - lonewolf 63

zingles at the rock 2/3
jerman 59 - lonewolf 61

which leaves us at
jerman 1 - $5
lonewolf 1 - $5

tune in next time fans for the tiebreaker to see who pulls ahead...

[Dick]

more like the year of jerman trying to win all that money back he lost to lonewolf last year.

[JERMAN]

public humiliation is calling out to you Lonewolf - pick your poison this Sunday -

Whispering Falls Ice Bowl - where you will surely get injured or have that fatal heart attack trying to navigate the course and shoot in the mid 80s no doubt!

or

Seneca Faux Leap - where you have a better chance of at least finishing the round unscathed and breaking 100 over 27 holes.

Your choice - either way but declining either invitation is a sign that you are obviously worried about me in this head to head event and that you lack the stones we all already know you don't have...oh and let's raise the side bet to 10 bones big boy!

[md21954]

...oh and let's raise the side bet to 10 bones big boy!



can i get a piece of that action?

[Dick]

i'm considering. i kind of have a family dinner thing sunday, so that might be bad for me.

[JERMAN]

there will be the standard nomad sidebet action - that you can get in on, this is personal between lonewolfy and I

[JERMAN]

i'm considering. i kind of have a family dinner thing sunday, so that might be bad for me.



translation = i have no confidence and food is my priority ;)

[dtwo]

there will be the standard nomad sidebet action - that you can get in on, this is personal between lonewolfy and I



Can Nomad Bashers get in on the nomad sidebet action?

I am planning on Seneca.

[JERMAN]

hey dtwo as the nomads official basher you are always welcome to get sloppy seconds if thats what you want

[JERMAN]

the game is on - hawk jerman and lonewolf will be at whispering falls tomorrow to start the battle royal - given the choice we decided seneca is for girls d2 (have fun throwing with the lasses)

hoping some more nomads show up as well - paul and ski??

[Dick]

Jerry you "insert humiliating description here". this is nfl pre-season action at best. it's not only an ice bowl, but since it isn't a pdga event no ratings will be generated from it. It will be funny to take your take 10$ from you though....

[hawkgammon]

Essentially a pointless exercise today as the losers will both claim they were "practicing" since this is a charity event. However I fully believe clarity will be achieved and psychological blows will be dealt.

[Dick]

so you and jerry will now claim you were practicing?

jerman got the total beatdown and his 10$ was donated to charity.

hawk at least was tied after the first round and tried to keep up with me, but in the end was unsuccessful. bow to your 2008 whispering falls ice bowl silver champion! i could tell hawk was flustered after i survived the second bataan death march of the day up the ravine and he and kelly promptly botched their drives and started to fade.

see you next week when it counts...

[hawkgammon]

...the second bataan death narch of the day up tghe ravine...



This gibberish would indicate complete exhaustion on your part.

I was practicing and came in second.

Jerman demonstrated that he's going to look stunning in pink in 2009.

Highlight of the event was at the awards when the TD called Jerry up and announced him as German.

[Dick]

or a faulty keyboard. prepare for humiliation this year. or alot of "practicing"

btw, you two losers owe me 8$ each for gas.

[hawkgammon]

btw, you two losers owe me 8$ each for gas.



You mean that second bowl of mashed potatos/chili/hotdog/cheese product you downed doesn't count as buying you lunch?

Can I paypal you that?

[Dick]

no

sure, add 12$ for processing fees....

[hawkgammon]

How about I just throw in a half dozen frozen yogurt fruit parfaits and we call it even?

[Dick]

how about i just add it to the gas money you'll owe me for driving you to your next beat down. loriella here we come.

how about a sidebet of loser pay for wings at hooters for the other two?

[hawkgammon]

After the junk I ate today, I may want to pass on Hooters. Besides I may have a better offer awaiting me back home than dinner with you two stiffs.

Curious how quiet Jeri has been this evening. How much wound licking is he engaged in?

[dtwo]

jerman got the total beatdown and his 10$ was donated to charity.

hawk at least was tied after the first round and tried to keep up with me, but in the end was unsuccessful. bow to your 2008 whispering falls ice bowl silver champion!




Very sad that there was a conflict for this tournament. It is obvious by the Whispering Falls results that the real talent played Seneca! All of the Nomads that showed at Seneca were weighed and measured ... and found wanting ;)!

[hawkgammon]

Well since I had already won the Silver division at Seneca last year I figured I'd go out and seek new competition from the Yankees. Who knew they would all fold in the face of greatness and that my sidekick would present the only true challenge.

[hawkgammon]

The ratings season kicks off Saturday with Team Grunts annual pilgrimage to Biscoe's Bash.

Tom Pequignot 153
Greg Walter DNF

[johnbiscoe]

...had to take the hawkster with lost pup's stamina issues...

jerman is irrelevant as he won't play the longs the second round...

[hawkgammon]

A wise selection.

[dtwo]

...had to take the hawkster with lost pup's stamina issues...



I disagree. The LoneWolf has already proved he can survive the tough terrain by smacking Hawk at the Falls. I am betting he pulls out this win too.


jerman is irrelevant


Agreed


as he won't play the longs the second round...


I thought the boys were always going to play in the same division so that the ratings will match heads up ...

If Hawk and Lonewolf are playing Masters that defeats the purpose of the heads up challenge!

Sadly ... I will miss this opportunity to Nomad Bash.

[hawkgammon]

I disagree. The LoneWolf has already proved he can survive the tough terrain by smacking Hawk at the Falls. I am betting he pulls out this win too.





Practice.

[hawkgammon]

Attention boys: I was just checking out our bags in our profiles and I see The Loads and mine are outdated. Let's try to update these by Friday so the fans know what we are rolling with on Saturday. Jerry doesn't have to list the box of tissues he'll be carrying.

[dtwo]

Well since I had already won the Silver division at Seneca last year ...



I only remember this stellar performance (http://www.md-discgolf.com/viewtopic.php?t=901&amp;start=10) from 2006. It must have been a tournament that I missed ...

Who knew they would all fold in the face of greatness and that my sidekick would present the only true challenge.


I really don't see Dr Evil as the face of greatness ... but whatever you say ;).

[Dick]

let's see, i'll be beating you again with a pink disc and one with a redskins logo. and a pink roc. and a buzzzzzz. and a couple putters.

german had the chance to step up and play advanced. if there wasn't such a big masters field we would have played intermediate as determined by our ratings currently.

[hawkgammon]

No worries Danny my staff dug it up for you here. (http://www.md-discgolf.com/viewtopic.php?t=1066&amp;postdays=0&amp;postorder=asc&amp;star t=20)

Sorry ... I did not recognize him with out his alias. Of course he was probably at 4% in February ...

[JERMAN]

alright hoe and rake you both beat a lad who was out to have a fun couple of rounds prior to the fist real match of the season - was i practicing? no I was out to enjoy myself and stretch the arm out a bit. hats off for winning in the silver division you couple of baggers! couldn't play with the big boys in gold, you both should be ashamed! :o

on saturday i am only playing in the new ratings division that the association came up with this year for my current rating which i will do all year (when it goes up so will my entry's into advanced divisions)- good luck with those long tees as i hope they do justice to your ratings - borer and broaching machine! ;)

[Chris Hysell]

So, I want in on the fun too. I have worked hard to get my player rating down close to you Hawk. I plan on shooting a few sub-900 rated rounds next weekend to continue that landslide. My shoulder may never recover. I may also schedule another surgery for June. At 932, this might be my highest rating of the year.

Chris I think you are an ideal candidate to take on Jerry in 2009.

[hawkgammon]

Dick just called and said that he's settled on his bag for the season kick-off. Based on the number of molds and different plastics he rattled off, I can't imagine him actually fitting them all into that purse (http://www.discgolfer.com/mini.html) he carries. It's the lime green one by the way.

[JERMAN]

he only carries that purse to try and help lighten the load! but it isn't helping enough...i sure hope that skins tye dye ends up in the pond on sunday - a well timed "wait don't shoot" shout just before he releases could do the trick!

[hawkgammon]

...i sure hope that skins tye dye ends up in the pond on sunday -



Ummm...that would be Saturday. Yeah you're a viable threat in this competition.

[Luke Butch]

good luck Hawk. The Load doesn't stand a chance

[Dick]

But Dick does. Did you read about my victory over Hawk last weekend?

[hawkgammon]

good luck Hawk. The Load doesn't stand a chance



Thanks fan.

[Dick]

Luke, be sure to keep an eye out on Hot Tub's House of Plastic for mementos of Hawk's second place finishes throughout the season!

[JERMAN]

dick your arm can't handle two tourneys in one week let alone beating squawk twice - and now it's official time so you will see what i am all about - complete dominance!!

[Dick]

of the intermediate women?

[hawkgammon]

Unlikely as he finished behind an intermediate rated woman on Sunday.

[JERMAN]

the way i see it being behind an intermediate rated woman while she strips her close away is not a bad place to be, being a garden rake and square head shovel you wouldn't understand

[hawkgammon]

...while she strips her close away...



Hmmm...the pressure gets to German who collapses into gibberish.

[JERMAN]

the only collapse you'll be seeing is dick falling apart in the second round SATURDAY

[Dick]

like i did at the ice bowl sunday? i seem to recall someone else collapsing. At least Hawk kept it close.

[hawkgammon]

To be fair Dick you only beat the boy by <font color="red"> 10!!!!!! </font> strokes on the day. Obviously he is ready to pounce both of us Saturday. The fact that he'll be playing the short tees both rounds means he should clearly be the fresher player in the second round, and if he doesn't produce the best rating that round he should just concede now.

[Jeff_Peters]

He'll still have to shoot to the long pin postions though, so he's only a slight favorite.

[JERMAN]

He'll still have to shoot to the long pin postions though, so he's only a slight favorite.



thanks fan!

gentlemen i will be heading down solo on saturday as I have some business to attend to after i wrap up. i saw Dick got all excited spewed on the other thread, nice move there Dick!

Saturday is where it counts - I am assuming we are on for our standard $5 side bet correct?

[hawkgammon]

thanks fan!
<font color="red">I'm completely delusional! </font>

Germand,

As I've stated previously...until you actually defeat me straight up in a tournament I feel that taking your money would be criminal. I know that Dick on the other hand has no such moral hang-ups. Besides we already have a bet, and I feel that putting the dagger in you on Saturday will be sweet satisfaction enough.

[Dick]

like hawk says, i have no problem taking your money. 5$ as usual.

[hawkgammon]

I just received a taunting (?) voicemail from Jeri regarding tomorrow, him and my [censored]. I'm not sure that it was totally disc golf related.

Also Dick boldly predicted on the phone the other night, but wasn't man enough to post, that he will shoot no round under 920 this season...

[Dick]

you forgot an option,

He won't

[hawkgammon]

That's not an option...it's a fantasy. I find it disturbing that you're now talking about yourself in the third person.

[johnbiscoe]

everyone knows he's lousy on the short tees... 1st round at loriella.

[Dick]

i don't know, i outshot hawk and jer last weekend on the shorts. historically my problem has been the second round, but now my endurance is likely increased enough to not fade. and my better accuracy should give me a definite advantage over these "opponents" from the short.

[johnbiscoe]

last two rounds from loriella shorts= 903, 895.

[hawkgammon]

Dick never lets the facts get in the way of his bluster.

[hawkgammon]

3.5 hours of sleep. (check)
Cheerios. (check)
Supplements. (check)
Shave face and brush teeth. (check)
Shower. (check)
Cologne (check)
Stylish Nomads attire. (check)

It's <font color="red"> SHOWTIME! </font>

[JERMAN]

i love how you wear cologne for the ride down with Dick! :o

[johnbiscoe]

****, managed to get out there today but not meet the jerman.

[hawkgammon]

Short guy, bad facial hair, DC Nationals pullover. You really didn't miss anything.

[hawkgammon]

i love how you wear cologne for the ride down with Dick! :o



I wear cologne everywhere. Chicks dig the Acqua! (http://www.fragrancenet.com/f/net/mf_items.html?cat=00016&amp;cur_letter=a&amp;gs_gen=m)

[Dick]

You guys are pretty quiet!

of course that may be because you are not the " 2008 Loriella Challenge Champion" like me. And i have the rock to prove it.

First round none of us played together tees were short, but winds were high. I pulled in with a 58 to lead my card with hvnafit. Jerman shot 58 to post a good first round. Hawk pulls in with a 56 and his confidence was high. I was playing well, but banged the chasity belt at least 6 times from inside 30. ouch. i really don't like innova baskets. the yellow tends to draw my eye i guess.

anyway, hawk and i run off to subway and leave jerry to fend for himself. When we return i down a quick bottle of 5 hour energy and we head off to hole 15. of course 15 and 16 were my last two holes of the first round and i bogeyed both to finish the round. well, i do worse this time and give hawk and the group a stroke on each again. so hawk is leading by 4 overall now. no worries, the 5 hour energy will kick in soon. i think we have a 4 fest on 17, and then on 18 after hawk slams his drive into the hill with everyone else, i rip off a prodigous shot clearing the top of the hill. i follow it up with a perfectly executed up shot to start my road back. I eventually draw even with hawk around hole 3. then we battle back and forth until he finally pulls away to a 2 stroke lead on hole 9 with a good putt. well, here comes the pond. trying to finish me off and apply the pressure, Hawk clears the pond and slides left into the brush. Of course, now i have to go for it, and barely clear the edge and skip up to the right. we both get 3's, while hvnafit has an unfortunate doink off the bucket and rolls right back into the water. ouch! on we go, with Hawk leading by 2 with 4 holes to play. Hawk immediately cranks his disc off the trees on the right and kicks left off the narrow fairway, starting a wild adventure down the left side. Meanwhile i smooth the buzz right up the gut for the easy drop in 3 to Hawks triple bogey 6 and a 3 stroke swing. Next hole is the turnover down the hill which i execute about 40 feet better and then after hawk hits trees on the entry into the pin area, i deftly place my putter right next to the basket. bang, hawk misses a tough obstructed putt and my lead is now 2 overall. next i crank the buzz down toward the pond for the second trip over the pond for the round, but i end up a ittle left off the fairway. hawk is now in flutie mode and botches the attempt with a driver and takes 2 shots to match my position. we both are forced to plop out to gain position for the approach, but hawk is a stroke behind and though my drive almost bounces back into the drink i execute to pull another stroke ahead. on the last hole we both put in professional 4's and the round is over.
Dick - 69
Hawk - 74

Jerman shot a 64, but played the short tees. Once the rounds are put up the temporary ratings will be incorrect since some people played short tees in round 2, so the long tee people will have their rating diluted temporarily and the short people will have theirs inflated. We won't know the real deal until the next update, but i definitely beat hawk, and probably beat jerman also.

better luck next time, lads! :cool:

[Dick]

"3.5 hours of sleep."

Did Jim's snoring keep you up?


"It's SHOWTIME! "

so, how did you like the show?

[JERMAN]

Dick you did a great job putting it to Hawk today!
Some one is one word...BITTER


All I know if I had been in your group Dick would have been slapped around like an inflatable love machine. I will be playing Silver at the Punisher - I expect the AG Duo to do the same!

oh and nice win Dick! What are you gonna do with your rock?

[hawkgammon]

so, how did you like the show?



You had a great drive on #18 from the long tee, you dodged a watery grave by about 1' after I punked you by clearing the pond from the long tee on #10, and you had a good drive/approach combo on our third to last hole (#12) to force me into a decision: play safe to protect the rating or go into Flutie (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2335/2056831310_43e9ed3014.jpg?v=0) mode to try and pull out first place in our division. I chose the later which wasn't the wisest move in terms of this bet, but it's a long season so I figured I would take the gamble. Obviously it didn't pay off. We'll meet again soon...Dick.

[hawkgammon]

All I know if I had been in your group Dick would have been slapped around like an inflatable love machine.




:D

[Dick]

"on our third to last hole (#12) to force me into a decision: play safe to protect the rating or go into Flutie mode to try and pull out first place in our division."

nice try on the excuse. but on the second to last hole you played it safe instead of trying to flutie over the water and we tied the hole, and we tied the last one also, no flutie mode there, just good solid play by me to not allow you a sniff at getting back in it. fact of the matter is, i didn't putt well in the first round and gave you a 2 stroke lead and gave you 2 more on the first 2 holes of round 2 for a 4 stroke overall lead. then i beat you by seven over the last 16 holes to win by 3.

[md21954]

of course that may be because you are not the " 2008 Loriella Challenge Champion" like me. And i have the rock to prove it.



bragging about winning advanced masters is hilarious.

[hawkgammon]

Unofficial results are up. Average ratings for the two rounds:

<font color="green">Dick: 942 </font>

<font color="red">Hawk: 934 </font>

<font color="pink">Jerman: 911 </font>

[Dick]

maybe, but i did win, and beat my "opponents". i played trophy only so i didn't take any winnings except the trophy.
eventually as i get better i will start stepping up in divisions. And as long as they offer 38 divisions, why shouldn;t i try to play in the appropriate one for my rating and age according to the pdga?

BTW, check out the Punisher, which is minimal divisions offered to form a ratings based event...What division you playing in Paul? Gold?

[hawkgammon]

... but on the second to last hole you played it safe instead of trying to flutie over the water and we tied the hole,



Actually you picked up a stroke on the second to last hole. Of course no one should be surprised that you don't recall the strokes accurately considering you scorecard history at Loriella. I chose not to try the pond at that point as the risk reward was not in my favor based on my lie and the overall situation.


then i beat you by seven over the last 16 holes to win by 3.



Ummm that sounds like a consistent dominating run, but the reality was that we were tied for the day following a bit of back and forth after 32 holes and one big disaster by me with four holes to go gave you a chance to creep ahead forcing me to Flutie. Nothing I saw Satuday gives me concern.

[hawkgammon]

of course that may be because you are not the " 2008 Loriella Challenge Champion" like me. And i have the rock to prove it.



bragging about winning advanced masters is hilarious.



Not only does he brag about it, but he proudly displays these trophies in the staircase of his home. It's an impressive collection of rock, wood and metal. Sort of like the outdoor section of your local Home Depot.

[hawkgammon]

Perusing the thread I found some unfinished business...

I guess due to his giddiness at winning a rock, Dick has forgotten that he won the sidebet with Jericurl for the day. They shot the same 58 the first round, and since Jeri was playing the short tees again the second round controversy ensued at halftime over how to have a stroke bet. They eventually agreed to let the bet be decided by second round ratings:

Dick: 958
Jeri: 896

[Dick]

"Nothing I saw Satuday gives me concern. "

how about my drive on 18 long?

[johnbiscoe]

...or seeing him turn in the scorecard... or does he do that only when he's getting a rock for it?

[hawkgammon]

"Nothing I saw Satuday gives me concern. "

One good toss in three years and several thousand drives is the kind of odds I'm willing to gamble on.

Well there were Girl Scout cookies on sale near tourney central.

[jdtitan]

You guys crack me the heck up. Please don't get banned or have anymore cardiac events....I've looked so forward to your episodic smack talk these past couple of years.

GO DICK!!!

[Dick]

mmmmmmm, girl scout cookies.....mmmmmmmmmm

[JERMAN]

i swear i saw him buy 5 boxes and slip his number to the troop leader who looked about 12

[hawkgammon]

That simply means he's dating older this year.

[hawkgammon]

Okay it's time for round two in three weeks. All three of us are planning on being there again.

[Dick]

That's a slam dunk. I will be definitely punking you girl scouts at the punisher. I'm going to go for the tourney trifecta and win the silver division for my third consecutive win.

[hawkgammon]

I'm sensing an obsession here with you and Girl Scouts.

[Dick]

they do have awesome cookies!

[JERMAN]

this is hawks "home course" surely there is no way he can possibly lose...i will refrain form boastful claims this round - enter the trojan horse...

[hawkgammon]

I'm a nomad...I have no home.

[Dick]

Hawk, prepare for another beatdown. your distance advantage has evaporated, and your accuracy is suspect. Your good putting won't last and mine will come around. I forsee a huge collapse after a few tough holes and a rating meltdown in your future.

Jerman, your in trouble at this one.

[hawkgammon]

Uh huh. Can't wait for you to whip out the old TD excuse after this one.


Jerman, your in trouble at this one.



Putting Dick's illiteracy aside, at what event this season would Geraldine not be in trouble at?

[dtwo]

Uh huh. Can't wait for you to whip out the old TD excuse after this one.



Lone Wolf was an easy choice at Loriella; although sadly it appears that only he and I thought so. I am concerned about the TD factor though ...

The Punisher will surely fill, and unless he gets some major TD help he will get no time to warm up ... then again he never warms up.

My money is on the Lone Wolf.

Jerman is a non-factor, but at least you will all play in the same division this time so he can see how far he needs to improve.

[Dick]

Don't worry fellow nomad killer. Being the underdog against Hawk is satisfying. Especially when you beat him and he has to gnaw on why the whole way home.
Of course there is no way to be the underdog to Jerman, so i haveto just dominate him.Hopefully he looks pretty in pink.

the TD thing shouldn't be a problem. People will chip in and help as usual, and i never do much warming up anyway. But I hope everyone votes for Hawk so that the defeat is that much more crushing, what with letting his fans down and all. I wonder how they are holding up?

[dtwo]

what with letting his fans down and all. I wonder how they are holding up?



Fans? Did you look at the results of the last poll (http://www.pdga.com/msgboard/showflat.php?Cat=0&amp;Number=784442&amp;an=0&amp;page=0#Post8 00453)?

What I can not figure out is that if Jerman voted for Hawk, then who voted for Jerman :confused:.

[mr smOOOth]

The suspense is killing me! Dick seems to think he can prick Hawk's ego with a win. Hawk may just have the upper hand as he whips his disc past Dick's disc. Jerman.........keep the dream alive, lil' fella!

[hawkgammon]

I'll be coming out cocked and loaded next time as I look to shaft Dick at his own tourney.

next week, do zingles on sunday hawk. i need more practice.

[hawkgammon]

That's obvious. Tenatively slated to roll on Sunday. Official pronouncement to come later this week.

It's one of those Ski rounds!

71 from the blues will be close, but no cigar. besides jerman, your probem will come in the second round when you again shoot a 71...from the reds.

[billmh]

Gentlemen,

Have noticed that the cupboards at Hot Tub's House of Plastic are conspicuously bare. Fed rate cuts not trickling down to the most enjoyable disc golf cage match on earth? Might we be expecting bountiful amounts of leftovers soon to appear from Patapsco, given the low registration a mere 11 days prior to the event?

Inquiring minds want to know.

A Fan

[hawkgammon]

Bill,

I'm quite confident that I will have some fabulous discraft discs with the fisting stamp for sale Monday morning. Dick currently has some trophies of mine to put up for you fans, but he's dawdling. Apparently a family member borrowed his digital camera for the purpose of home erotica and he hasn't gotten it back yet.

[hawkgammon]

...when you again shoot a 71...from the reds.



Hey Dick that would beat the 72 your threw last weekend. Maybe you should stop worrying about me so much and focus on staying ahead of the boy.

Better than average shooting Hawk, but not quite enough to take the Nomad side bet. If you stop holding Nomads events when I am busy I will stop by and give you some lessons ;).

Sadly ... I had to watch Dick beat his Disc against tree after tree on #7. It was almost like watching Dick get beat up with an ugly stick. Dick next time try not to do so much zallywhacking. Get yourself a two finger flick roller. Instead of the horizontal bop from tree to tree, you can get veritical and squeeze and a squirt yourself to a better score.

I still think that Dick swings a bigger Disc (if you know what I mean), so he gets my vote for Bluemont.

I think Hawk's 969 round at the Punisher was just a fluke. I have not seen such a pumped up performance from Hawk in quite a while. He must have been riding a high from being in front after the first round. I think that Hawk got a big rise from seeing Dick behind him in the field of players.

I think it's obvious from yesterday's beatdown that I have a stranglehold on Dick, and I'll just be gradually choking him out the rest of the season unless he turns chicken and concedes.

[Dick]

you beat me by a few strokes. stranglehold? puhleeease!

i don't know if you will be able to fit that over inflated ego through the tight fairways of bluemont.

[hawkgammon]

At least I'll be at Bluemont. Last I heard you were whining about a breast injury you reportedly sustained while trying to Flutie your way up the alternate fairway on #8 in the second round.

I should probably point out at this time your failure to break 70 in the first round that you boasted was coming on Sunday.

Note to fans: Dick does his smack talking via cell phone these days after two years of having it crammed down his food delivery porthole here. I'll try to remember each tidbit though and post them here for your amusement.

How's that Redskin Beast roller shot of yours coming along?

[hawkgammon]

you beat me by a few strokes.



Ummmm...six....[cough]

This begs another question...

[dtwo]

This begs another question...

At which upcoming tourney does Your Disc Golf Hero give Dick on of those beloved double digit beatdowns?


Which begs another question .... does the sentence even make sense?

What is a "Dick on"?

[hawkgammon]

Unfortunately one can't edit the actual poll itself.

The answer is: What hasn't Dick been on?

[dtwo]

The answer is: What hasn't Dick been on?

Well ... I was envisioning:

Dick on, Apply directly to the forehead!
Dick on, Apply directly to the forehead!
Dick on, Apply directly to the forehead!

... and the poll really did not make any sense.

[hawkgammon]

You are being dense Coach. We have played two events, so the first opportunity for the double digit smackdown would be at the third tourney, followed by the fourth tourney etc. Codorus is looming on Dick's horizon and there's a lot of walking there!

Sorry that I was being so soft in the head ... sometimes things just get stuck in there.

I do not see that Bluemont would cause Dick to bow under pressure. Codorus is indeed a strenuous course, but I expect Dick to keep vertical there too. I suspect your only hope that Dick might fold like a limp noodle would be the MAAC.

Is the MAAC on the tournament list for this magnificent challenge?

If you can't do it at the Punisher after Dick took a 10 on #7 in the first round, I just don't see any bigger collapse on the horizon.

A wire to wire win in the highly competitive Advanced Masters field. The Association divisional structure is brilliant!

In true Disc Golf Hero fashion I actually saved Dick two strokes as he failed to check his card after the humbling second round spanking at my hands and falling to third place. He ran away after reporting his final hole score, and the last man with the card during the round tallied his score incorrectly. I fixed it before submitting the card.

[hawkgammon]

Fans may remember this (http://www.pdga.com/msgboard/showflat.php?Cat=0&amp;Number=802449&amp;Main=802449#Post8 02449) boast by Dick. He's trying to back away from it as he has a preliminary 919 rating staring him in the face from today's hot disc debacle.

[Dick]

actually that is your post. a clear misinterpretation of my saying i didn't intend to shoot below my rating this year.

i'm not particularly worried with your last 2 events. you only beat me by about 2 strokes a round and i haven't been able to putt worth a ****. i'll practice that some and be ready to return the favor next time.

BTW, we played with Wayne in the first round, i wonder if he taught you some pencil whipping techniques that enabled you to win this time. We'll have to double check the card next round.

[Dick]

btw, as usual, i really don't get warmed up until it gets warmer. and bluemont has traditionally been tough for me for some reason. i would have been right with you except i threw away a few strokes with that poorly executed forehand on 6. and i was thinking that was the safe shot! ooops.

[hawkgammon]

actually that is your post. a clear misinterpretation of my saying i didn't intend to shoot below my rating this year.



Translation: I did say 920 on the phone, but am squiggling out of it since I appear to have shot myself in the foot. I won't mention the phone conversation where I tried to rephrase this claim to no sub 900 rounds this year.

Dick fails to mention that the stink of failure was so pervasive on him that we couldn't even get a waitress at Hooters to serve us until I told her she wouldn't have to deal directly with him. Angered by this he sent back his perfectly acceptable crab cakes in an attempt to make the girl cry.

I generally leave all my pla$tic behind. It's beneath me to collect. I turned in my scorecard and Dick was already in the van with the engine running. We were 15 minutes from the Laurel Hooters when Jerman called wondering where we were. The Nomads rollout tradition is alive and well. I only hung around at Patapsco for the trophy.

[Dick]

yeah, if you want us to hang out, you have to have a trophy!

not sure if i will have trophies for rockburn , but if i do it will only be for the major divisions, i.e. pro, advanced, women...maybe intermediate if there is large pre-reg action there.

I generally leave all my pla$tic behind. It's beneath me to collect. I turned in my scorecard and Dick was already in the van with the engine running. We were 15 minutes from the Laurel Hooters when Jerman called wondering where we were. The Nomads rollout tradition is alive and well. I only hung around at Patapsco for the trophy.



thanks for the free plastic hawk! grabbed a couple more putters with your winnings and a new driver i will use to destroy you at the rumble in May...oh and i like the way D2 drools all over Dick's performance and wants so badly to be a Nomad! Maybe he should get the pink polo as initiation... :confused:

You're welcome fan. Two days after your latest public humiliation and that's the best smack you could come up with? You're not even Peter and the Wolf material at this point.

[Dick]

either of you 2 losers interested in schumaker next weekend?

[hawkgammon]

either of you 2 losers...



Is that a personal attack? Obviously you aren't talking to me since I've won my last two events...Dick.

[Dick]

nope, no personal attack here.

[JERMAN]

either of you 2 losers interested in schumaker next weekend?



looked at it but i have a game to coach at 11 - this loser is saving it all for Rockburn baby

[johnbiscoe]

Tweetie, how long until you have to give Dick strokes?

Jerboy- it don't draw interest, quit saving it. (as i told my first girlfriend)

[hawkgammon]

Biscuit,

Stroking Dick has never been a part of this competition. I've been doing nothing but beating Dick off for over two years. Who knew this encounter would come to such a quick conclusion? I guess we underestimated the ability of Dick to fold prematurely.

[Dick]

yeah, that some big talk there. i have a 5 stroke victory and you have 2 5 stroke victories, one at your home course and one at the bluemont mudpit, where i have never played well for some reason. The only thing premature is your celebration. Personally i think you've shot your wad and will return to your regular 920 golf.

I'm not worried, at least not yet. Jerman on the other hand should be considering what size polo he wants.

[hawkgammon]

I'm not worried,...



[deleted due to personal attack.]

[Dick]

quality personal attack there, hawk.

[hawkgammon]

Negative. That's routine. Bloated addict ...now that's a quality personal attack.

[hawkgammon]

I'm liking my chances of having a nice lead in this bet in about two weeks :Dlosers.

[Dick]

yeah, you're probably so scared you'll just not play anymore in hopes of winning a bet worth what? 20$?

not to mention that since your steroid use has dwindled your already shaky math skills, you can't even comprehend how little of an advantage you actually have gained. 8 strokes over 6 rounds is hardly earth a "nice lead" ,more like a narrow margin. even Jerman can still blow by you.

[hawkgammon]

8 strokes over 6 rounds is hardly earth a "nice lead" ,...



Earth?

Reads like the stroke has finally kicked in.

[Dick]

well, preliminary ratings are up for schumaker. i would have guessed both rounds to be in the 930-940 range, not bad but not great. Instead i seem to have shot my first sub 919 round. it sure didn't feel like it.

[hawkgammon]

Instead i seem to have shot my first sub 919 round. it sure didn't feel like it.



Unfortunately no one picked the fourth tourney in the poll. The best part about your preliminary 901 is it's almost sub 900. Feel the greatness!

[hawkgammon]

The three of us (since I got blackmailed into signing up for this thing last night) will be competing at the Rockburn Rumble in about a month. This is Dick's home course (as well as Geraldine's but as Coach points out Jeri is about as much a factor in this bet as The Lung at this point) at which I have never defeated him in an Association event.

[dtwo]

Rockburn Rumble in about a month. This is Dick's home course at which I have never defeated him in an Association event.

This was a tough one. I am still expecting Dick to rise to the occasion, and slap down some good numbers. However, his performance while TDing the Punisher was a bit of a sputter. Dick ... don't let me down!

[hawkgammon]

This was a tough one. I am still expecting Dick to rise to the occasion



I think we all know that this is Dick's last stand to make a battle of this bet. If he comes out flacid again then it's obvious he shot his wad at Loriella.

[JERMAN]

it's a long season chicken hawk - don't count your eggs just yet

i can't wait to see dick give you a good pounding you so desperately deserve not to mention the numbers i'll be throwing up at the rumble

[hawkgammon]

i'll be throwing up at the rumble



We've often marveled at you ability not to vomit in light of your play.

[JERMAN]

hey everyone look at the funny clown
he's a funny one

dick will own you at the rumble -

[hawkgammon]

You seem obsessed with Dick.

Throwing in the towel regarding your own ability to be a threat in this competition I see.

Did you feed Dick something to give him the presence of excessive gas in the digestive tract (http://www.answers.com/Flatulence)?

That MAAC performance opened the back door for Dick AND that other guy!

Hawk Corrick - Round 3: 835 :eek: :confused:

[md21954]

the 835 will be dropped. i did the math. unless there are other tourneys that i'm not aware of.

Just trying to keep it close for the fans and wagering public.

[JERMAN]

welcome back to the {cough} association hawk!

have to say i have been playing some hot rounds lately - looking forward to the head to head battle at the Falls.

[hawkgammon]

During a recent vacation in the Bahamas Dick manages to injure himself...in a movie theater! It seems that in a crazed dash to the concession stand he leapt off a six foot wall injuring his heel and ankle. This may cause him to miss part of the season...yet again. I can't make this stuff up!

[johnbiscoe]

i was driving out to harrisonburg over the weekend and saw this... dick's place (http://dickmyers.com)

[hawkgammon]

All three of us will be at Whispering Falls. (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=7945)

[hawkgammon]

Unfortunately Dick Myers is unable to man up this Sunday due to a severe groin pull. Leaving it up to Jerry and I to be Nomadic. Who wins this head to head battle? (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=7423)

[JERMAN]

hawk based on the last couple of events i am on the upswing while you my friend are on the down down down slide...best of luck to you - i got some new goblins that are simply point and shoot material for this sunday's event

a dickless pennsylvania will be a welcome highlight - the only disappointed ones are the buffet owners...

[hawkgammon]

Uh huh.

let the record show that the Jerman won by a convincing 5 stroke margin ~ hawk held tough thru 12 the second round but his mid range attack was simply no match in the face of greatness :D

[GeorgeB]

Was that when you were playing with just a towel around you?

[hawkgammon]

If you think the run-up would be bad in that situation you should have seen him when he had to straddle putt.

[JERMAN]

Was that when you were playing with just a towel around you?



you can't shake that image from your skull can you big brown? don't worry many before had the same problem when they saw unmasked greatness...hawk only wishes i was straddle putting

[hawkgammon]

Looks like our State Coordinator Dick will be unable to play again this Saturday so I will simply be focused on teaching Jerman a new word on Saturday:


Main Entry: fluke
Function: noun
Etymology: origin unknown
Date: 1857
1 : an accidentally successful stroke at billiards or pool
2 : a stroke of luck &lt;the win was a fluke&gt;

[GeorgeB]

YDGH-137

Jerman-139

Round ratings to follow.

[JERMAN]

look away, my results are hideous~

[johnbiscoe]

"hideous" or not the dgh has apparently descended to your level (or slightly above)- perhaps those new "supplements" haven't been working for him.

[JERMAN]

i prefer to call this latest performance an anomaly :)
and i'd like to say i "worked" hawk both rounds but the fact of the matter is the wetlands got to him first - priceless moments were witnessed this day! :D

[hawkgammon]

What's a couple of completely cut up and bloodied legs after searching a wetlands area for 10 minutes for a lost disc? Amazingly someone else went in there and found it and Brad is mailing it back to me this week.

[hawkgammon]

Everyone's favorite Dick apparently swings back into action in two Sundays.

[JERMAN]

shaping up to live up to it's name this sunday
saturday calls for a bunch of rain~

i may actually wear shoes this week instead of the berks - beware!

[md21954]

only calvert would host an event on opening day of NFL season. you guys should have planned to do kennett square on saturday instead.

lol - hey buddy here is a hint your ravens are starting the 3rd string QB and your RB might play on sunday - you won't miss much playing the open and the skins play tonight...they will of course lose as well to the hands of Eli...

ah nevermind - it isn't worth getting banned for a one liner...but the don't ask don't tell motto comes to mind! :o

Hawk: 940
Dick: 927
Jerman: 925

Dick is sputtering as Jerry puts a chokehold on him.

[hawkgammon]

Hawk: 926
Dick: 923
Jerman: 919

Jerry appears ready to be fitted for his pink polo.

[JERMAN]

the real story here is how quickly hawk has fallen from his last rating update - i do not know of any other rounds that will help him out with the next year end update - same goes for dick - at this point things are so close it is anybody's game, though i still like being the underdog this late in the year - it only will make for one very surprised member to come in 2009 who will be wrapped in pink! :cool:

[hawkgammon]

It simply took me awhile to realize I didn't have to try so hard to beat you two stiffs.

[JERMAN]

well i believe the final nail went into dick's coffin over the weekend - crushing him at pohick was a thing of beauty...oh and finishing better than hawk in the 4th straight tourney has a great feeling too...

it's not too late to cast your vote for the winner folks...see ya in the winners circle next year boys!!

[hawkgammon]

It won't be enough to give you the win, and it appears you will be stuck wearing pink next year as long as our State Coordinator Dick (http://www.pdga.com/player-stats?PDGANum=19614) conspires to suppress the results of this tourney (http://www.pdga.com/event?TournID=8201) which will negatively impact his standings in the bet. Tsk tsk. Such conduct from an Association official. I'm shocked!

[JERMAN]

i am not sweating it, squawk baby! i have thrown up enough good rounds since then that haven't been counted yet that i am confident there is no pink (out of the ordinary) in my future!!too bad dick can't say the same...if you look here http://www.md-discgolf.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=5&amp;p=46026#p46026 you'll see the results are already in anyway

[hawkgammon]

Jerman called this morning and boldly predicted he will best Dick by three or four points to take second place on January 27th and avoid the shame of the pink polo. Though he is desperately hoping the Pohick results were turned in by the deadline to be included for this update. Otherwise they help his rating later, but not this bet. Both he and Dick have already conceeded what 44% of you knew...that Your Disc Golf Hero would win.

[hawkgammon]

As Jerman wonders where the results are for the Dead Dogs of Fall and Pohick to narrow the gap between him and Dick for second, Dick worries that his Calvert debacle will drag him down to the point where Jeri's Calvert &amp; Soiree finishes push him up to. How will the Mauertown Fly effect Jeri's rating???

[JERMAN]

heads up! Pohick is now in the profile Dick - better get to the big and tall shop and get fitted for the pink polo! i do believe the size of the rainbow does indeed increase with all the X's before the L if i am not mistaken...

DMX Adopts Pink Prison Wardrobe
Posted Fri Jan 16, 2009 4:05pm PST by Billy Johnson, Jr. in Hip-Hop Media Training

Looks like Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio has come up with the cure for DMX's addiction to jail. The hip-hop star and repeat offender, like all of Arpaio's other inmates in the Maricopa county jail, must wear pink t-shirts, underwear and socks.

The girlie wardrobe colors caught DMX by surprise. "This is ridiculous, this is disrespectful," DMX said with a sarcastic laugh during an interview with My Fox Phoenix. "Why the pink?"
