Got mine too..... Guess there's some benefit to being old

wilma · May 15 2005, 08:00 PM

lot's of tournaments and/or lots of points
I played in 28 last year

bruce_brakel · May 15 2005, 09:29 PM

We had three touring points divisional winners in this household. 3 pins now and an obelisk later.

the_kid · May 15 2005, 09:41 PM

I think I won points in <16 last year so should I get one?

I should be winning this year too but they moved me up to <19 when I am still elegible for <16.

If they went by how you act you could be in the >8 group

the_kid · May 16 2005, 12:57 PM

Hey come on now only on the comp.

jimbo1944 · May 16 2005, 01:17 PM

How come the Senior Grandmasters and Legends do not receive an obelisk? Do they think we are too old?

Nelle 18131 · May 16 2005, 01:20 PM

wheresdave · May 16 2005, 01:46 PM

Hopefully you'll win one for Women's ROY!

Nelle 18131 · May 16 2005, 02:02 PM

Thanks for all the info (rolling eyes)

Got my pin on Friday, its on my bag already. Sure is pertty.

wilma · May 16 2005, 02:11 PM

I don't think that will fit on my trophy shelf

jimbo1944 · May 16 2005, 02:51 PM

I wanted one to put out in front of my house to mount my mailbox to. Thanks Dave for the definition of an obelisk. Thank goodness I can still do that and don't have to do it by myself like you.

the_kid · May 16 2005, 11:08 PM

I finally got one.

cbdiscpimp · May 17 2005, 01:04 AM

I got mine in the mail today. Hopefully next year Ill get a trophy or plaque for most Advanced points. That and winning USADGC are not my top goals for the rest of 2005

Congrats to everyone else who got touring pins for 2004

scoop · May 17 2005, 12:34 PM

Is there a list of who received pins...or at least a list of the criteria used to determine who would receive one (something more than a vauge "play in a lot of tournaments or rack up a lot of points...rather, something more quantifiable, like play in 20+ tournaments or amass more than 2000 points)

scoop · May 18 2005, 01:54 PM

Hmmm...no thoughts or info on this?

I guess it's safe to say then that 19 sanctioned events and 1300+ points wasn't enough (although those numbers are both higher than Scooter's totals from last year). I guess I'm neither old enough nor young enough nor Female enough (before you go there...nor good enough, either).

Still, it'd be nice to see the criteria. Like most touring players, I'm competitive by nature. If I knew what the criteria for earning a pin was, I might have an extra incentive to try to play one more tournament if that's all I needed.

gnduke · May 18 2005, 06:43 PM

There is a link in the announcements sectin now, but it does not work (event when corrected for the web instead of dos).

bruce_brakel · May 18 2005, 09:22 PM

The 2004 criteria are here: http://www.pdga.com/documents/05TPPins.pdf

They don't decide the criteria in advance or the number of pins they are giving out. It is kind of loose.

the_kid · May 18 2005, 09:28 PM

There was only one Open pin given in Tx and I was SMOKIN JOE TORRES.

CAMBAGGER · May 18 2005, 09:45 PM

Wow, Finland and Sweden had more then OK and TN...lol
