Fahrenheit Fling 2008

[gregbrowning]

The date has been confirmed and the sanctioning agreement and check are going in the mail tomorrow. This year's Fling will be Saturday, July 19. It will be a one day, 36 hole C-Tier event. Mark your calendars!

[gregbrowning]

Sanctioning is complete, and we are on the schedule.

Entry fees will be as follows (take off a $10 discount if you are a current PDGA member):

Same for Men or Women in each division

Open: $62
Masters and Grandmasters: $52
Advanced: $42
Intermediate and Recreational: $32

There will also be an optional $5 Ace Pot, which will carry over to the VPO in November if it is not hit at the Fling.

I'll get it up on Titledisc in the coming weeks.

Cool. What's the proposed course layouts?

R1 Championship course?
R2 Long course?

can we do hole 2 teebox to hole 12's bucket, a final one! :D

[daltonseabolt]

Heck yeah that sounds good.I would want to try that one day.

[gregbrowning]

Cool. What's the proposed course layouts?

R1 Championship course?
R2 Long course?



Final decision hasn't been made on this yet. I am probably going to include a few championship tees, and maybe a surprise or two. :D

[dryhistory]

final one, final one, final one! that would be legendary. or we could do a final two, the 2nd being hole 13 to 1 or 3's bucket. :D

[discgolfdog]

Sorry, but ANY monster hole where the fairway goes through the slot beside the bridge can't be done. The farthest back we can go is the championship tee on 18, and that still puts anybody on the bridge in possible errant flight path. Think about you or me trying to hit that gap from 350 ft. away with casual park users at that busy sidewalk intersection. I don't trust that everybody would wait for it to be completly clear.

Mando it, through Championship 8's tee box. :)

Doc, PM me some sponsorship info. Tee shirt / tee sign
or what ever . Also got some plastic to go in on raffle/ctp stuff

Lemme know !

[discgolfdog]

It occurred to me I hadn't booked the pavillion yet. It is now booked(south pavillion) for the 19th of July. I'll send a payment tomorrow.

[gregbrowning]

Good news. It appears that we will have a title sponsor for the Fling this year. I'll spill the beans once everything is official.

Also, I have a buddy who is almost finished with the artwork for the Fling SuperColor discs--these things are gonna be sweet. I need to decide which molds to buy and how many (gotta be a minimum of 50 per mold from what I understand). I'm thinking 50 Force and 50 Buzzz. Let me know if you suggest otherwise. Remember, this isn't just a survey of what YOU want--it's what we think will sell the fastest.

[okcacehole]

Innova

either will go with only 50

Innova no longer does InnColor, so it's gotta be Discraft.

The last I heard on this was Dave Dunipace saying the process was not working and they did not have any intention of repairing it, as it was too expensive. I'll check again. If it works, what molds?

I got a 5 spot that says xcaliber is the 1st request..

[my_hero]

I'm thinking 50 Force and 50 Buzzz.



I'm not too sure the Force is available in SC. I know the Surge, Buzzz and Challenger are.

I have also heard through other vendors that Innova's Inncolor had been 86ed. Might want to call/ask Dave.

I have full color INNOVA discs fpr the PIASO. Don't ever say that Discrap can do something that INNOVA can't do. INNOVA discs are always better and you will sell more of them.

[my_hero]

I have full color <font color="pink"> innova </font> discs fpr the PIASO. Don't ever say that <font color="blue"> Discraft </font> can do something that <font color="pink"> innova </font> can't do.



You're as sharp as a marble sometimes. Innova's Inncolor was down a few months ago and vendors were being told that it was not an option anymore. That is a fact. That's all that we were saying. Obviously they fixed it for you Brice.

[okcacehole]

wonder why they quit? any ideas John - maybe just the cost to produce?

[24460]

Well I guess I should do some research before opening my mouth, but I do have full color INNOVA star destroyers for the PIASO.

[my_hero]

Hopefully they have overcome their woes b/c any disc covered from edge to edge looks nice!

[dryhistory]

i disagree, i hate full color discs, are we sure they would sell out. would we make more money just having innova and discraft with a really cool tournament stamp?

[DOC65]

Hopefully they have overcome their woes b/c any disc covered from edge to edge looks nice!



Innova did fix their machine and had it back up and running towards the end of '07. However, the full color no longer covers the disc from edge to edge. Just a 6" or 7" circle in the center is all I've seen since the repairs.

Brice, is that how the PIAS full colors are?

[24460]

Yes, that is correct.

[baldguy]

Do that many people really throw the full color discs anyway? I'll take the stamp on whatever plastic you guys sell. I have a collection going :)

I'm adding this event to the titleDISC calendar, but I won't have it ready for registration until greg submits the info. Get with it DocB :D

[dryhistory]

we're waiting for the super cool logo to go on your page, tourneys alway look better to sign up for with a really cool logo :D

[gregbrowning]

This is not the final version, but here's where the artwork stands as of last week. There will also be a guy dragging himself to the basket to put his disc in and the name &amp; date of the event.

Great advice Greg! Also, you can always prize the SC discs out at $20 each, or if you are giving out a players pack you could give them out at $20 each. There's more than one way to skin a cat. :D

why is the Fling $2.00 more entry than Rockwall when they are both C-Tiers..

and only asking...not stirring the pot :)

I know they are not run by the same group, but I figured there may be something for course fund or to continue rebuilding the VET

Just didn't see it in the description on what it may go to

That two bucks is the per-player fees that have to be paid to the PDGA for sanctioning. By adding the fees on top of the entry, it allows for a little bit higher payout. That's all.

[okcacehole]

perfect and a good idea...payouts are shrinking daily..so grand idea..

thanks

hope to make this one also as I had a great time at the Vet earlier this year

Hey Murphy, you play courses other than Greenbelt ?
I did not know you knew how to drive west !!! :o

I have been planning on checking out the Beltbuster next
time I have a Thursday off...

BUMP- when did you OMB/YGB cat's get it in you head that I am a pro golfer? Never tasted the sweet taste of open cash..

I am no more a Pro golfer , than Charles Cox is a sober , non-smoker.

[okcacehole]

Now that was good, but I just saw you play some pro and figured you would stay there..

bring it on over here..the original belt buster will test your arm and your shot placement

Dang we miss Porter too much already

you can't taste cash in MA1 :)

Hey Murphy, you play courses other than Greenbelt ?

Not as far west as the MIGHTY Z.........

Matt was hinting that you guys were too yellow to tackle

Check my history..I play my best golf in town at the Z..never even cashed at GB/Porter :o

[okcacehole]

Ready to give it a run....

I'll get over there soon with Todd, Matt and a few other tags..for some smack talk golf, CFO's and Innova discs :)


I have a bet with your bro on trading bags for a round...see which one comes out on top, but I don't know that I can part with the Aviar :)

Speaking of Innova, I am going to be placing an order for Innova Fling-stamped discs. What molds do you guys most want to see for tournament payout and regular club stock?

[sandalman]

Magnet, Glide, Surge, Predator, and Force.

that should do it, thats all we need :)

[okcacehole]

always AVIARS - White and Black

Teebirds, Valks, Starfires, Destroyers, Xcablibers, Roadrunners, Rocs

[AnotherSteve]

Roadrunners

I seem to keep losing them

[okcacehole]

Sidewinders also..I don't throw either as a Valk works fine, but I know they are in the bags out there..

[willyc]

Banshees, X-Clones, XD's and Cheetahs! :DOh and don't forget Sharks!!

I dont think you have the arm to throw what is in his bag...
:D:D:D

The converse to that... I think he has too much arm to throw what's in your bag. :D:D

Should be interesting !

[okcacehole]

I could have forgot to tell Matt that I have been throwing the Cyclone ever since it came out in the early 90's and the Comet :)


That should be enough for 'ol Matthew

Here's the final version of the SuperColor disc. 50 SuperColor Buzzzes have been ordered and should arrive in the next few weeks. Make sure you have $20 set aside, as they will likely move fast!

BIG NEWS

Don Q. has lined up a lunch sponsor for the Fling. Razzoo's will be providing lunch for 100 for the players &amp; staff of the Fling this year. Many thanks to Razzoo's and to Don for making this happen!

[daltonseabolt]

What will we be getting from there.

20 players signed up. Better not be late!

Go to Titledisc (http://www.titledisc.com) or see me at the Wednesday mini tomorrow or at the mini this Sunday.

Registration forms are also available at Arlington Disc Golf (http://www.arlingtondiscgolf.com)

[okcacehole]

what are you capping at?

[dryhistory]

what are you capping at?



21 :D

[gregbrowning]

what are you capping at?



90 if it doesn't fill before the day of the event. If people pre-register, I will up it to 105 and add 3 temp holes.

[arlskipshot1]

What will we be getting from there.



Razoo's is a top notch resturant and what Don has done has no rival in the history of sponsorhip for the Fling ( barely beating out Ken Cantrell's sponsorship last year ) and it is appreciated greatly. Everyone should try to get by their place and make sure to thank them for their support.
Don was telling me today that everyone will get a plate with sausage and chicken as well as sides on it. I'm sure this will make everyone that plays a winner.
Thanks Don and thank you very much Razoo's

I second this. The amount of sponsorship from both Sports City ($250 cash)and Razzoo's (food for 100) for a C-Tier is unheard of.

Also, you all may want to think now about getting SIGNED UP. We are up to 25 players in the field with many more committed to register in the next few days. I have a feeling this event will fill.

[gregbrowning]

We're up to 29 players registered so far!

[gregbrowning]

All of the plastic for the Fling has arrived as of today.

I have the 50 Supercolor ESP Buzzzes available for $20 each.

Other Discraft:
25 Pro D Challengers
25 Elite Z Predators
25 ESP Forces
25 CryZtal Buzzzes.

From Innova:
25 DX Destroyers
25 Pro Destroyers
35 DX Rocs
25 Champion Monsters
25 Champion Sidewinders
25 Champion TeeBirds
25 Star Aviars
25 Star Coyotes
50 Star X-Calibers (including some EcoStar)


I have decided to reduce our club's prices on plastic as follows:
$20 SuperColor
$17 Star/ESP
$14 Champion/Elite Z
$11 Pro/Elite X
$8 DX/Pro D
$5 SuperColor minis
$2 regular minis

That was a mistake. What is on the flier and Titledisc is correct.

[okcacehole]

ahh...gotta read the whole thread :)

$32 was sounding good!

[gregbrowning]

You may want to sign up soon to make sure you have a spot.

63 players currently registered (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=7900)

Also, pre-registration GREATLY eases my workload on Saturday morning, which means everyone gets to start on time. Don't be the person holding up everyone else by trying to register as I am ready to hand out cards.

If there are still spots available Saturday morning, I will stop taking registrations at 8:30 to make sure we get started on time.

[arlskipshot1]

Greg, you should hold to 100 max entries. It will lessen confusion and stress. If anyone misses out it's not your fault. Keep in mind Razoos is only in for 100.

[my_hero]

...yes sir. And with 18 holes you should hold to 90. Gives 10 of us fat boys an extra plate lunch. :D

[sandalman]

no way. keep it open. if we go over 90, add some baskets. if we go over 115, add some more. theres tons of room, and if that many want to play there should be lots of folks around who can go set up the exta baskets. we prolly have room for 27 easily.

[my_hero]

Nice signature. It should read:
