Ben Geren Mini

[racerb491]

I will be down to take you down . and if not me blake will be there to talk @$&# and take you down .

Evan, make sure you bring the ace pot money with you

be sure to go to bed early

[evandmckee]

How many people play in the straight up open divison? I should be into town aroun 8 to play around before the mini if anyone wants to come out.

Evan, make sure you bring the ace pot money with you

I don't know how many, never ran it like this before, might be more money for grabs in the handicaps, we'll see.......everyone might just want to play the handicaps

I know that there are enough people that are regularly there to compete straight up but we often times have a few newer players that might be intimidated shooting against people that shoot 5-7 down, that's why we handicap

Kyle's handicap is so HUGE that he'll never beat it though

and Don't Worry Darrell

I'll probably binge drink until 3 in the morning and still come out at 8ish, change more pins and throw down on all of ya'll

Ace Pot money will be there......in my pocket where it will have a permanent home after tomorrow

[racerb491]

and away we go .

[evandmckee]

Saturday August 18th, Ben Geren, 10:30 am tee-off, don't have to pay to play but if you want in the prizes or ace pot it'll cost $5

Rain or Shine

I'm not changing anyones handicap from the last mini, we played as long as could be then and everything's mostly as short as can be now,

plan is to move 1 basket before and 1 basket after the mini every week to provide some change in the course

Ace Pot's $204 and everythings mostly as short as can be!!

SOMEONE'S GONNA HIT THAT ACE

[sschumacher]

I wish I could be there. ....I wonder what kind of grumbling you Arkies would be laying down if of all people, me, a guy whose NEVER had an ace, shows up and takes it home.

[evandmckee]

that would be awesome, I'd just be grumbling if I didn't get to see it

As long as you pay, it's open to Anyone, complete, if hit you gotta pay WAFDA dues out of it to become a member if your not already ($20 per year)

there's gonna be alot of opportunities this weekend, I think 12 of the holes will be definitely aceable for about anyone that can throw 220ish feet

3 aces were hit last Sunday on this layout during HOTB

[twoputtok]

He has to pay a lot more than $5 for any Arse he hits.

[evandmckee]

Saturday, August 25th, 10:30 am Tee-Off

Ace Pot's $210 +

Current Handicaps may be viewed HERE

I plan on hitting 2 Aces tomorrow for ea. $105 plus

[evandmckee]

Congratulations to Matt Spain, he Aced #15 in the "A position", 295 feet, worth $218

Ace pot will be $20 for next week (plus whatever gets added thru entries)

Looking like 1 Sat. a month at Alma, scratch play, divisions if needed, larger stakes, $10 entry

the other weeks will be Ben Geren with one of the weeks like Alma with the larger entry,

other 2 weeks $5 entry and varied formats, handicaps, doubles, whatever we can think of to keep it fun

[evandmckee]

we had 6 players for Sat. 9-29

Shawn LaMastus 49/50.876 ($5)
Evan McKee 55/52.232
Brian Rogers 60/54.641
Cole Johnson 57/57
Phil Drenckenpohl 62/57.712

Next Saturday's Ace Pot is $40 plus whatever entries add

[Energyturtle7]

Cole started out his handicap at 57. That's good thinking. Can I start at 57 as well?

[evandmckee]

Cole played scratch (no handicap),

biggest problem I'm having with the handicap system now is people that show up many months after establishing a "real handicap" and had improved during that time (alot) as the winner of last week shows.........

gotta figure out a time table for how long a handicap is good for, been pretty much honor system for new players and they're usually scared to say they're gonna shoot 15 big and say even, then they get creamed and don't understand that next time they'd be very likely to win as new players get better faster

bagging doesn't happen often though, I guess everyone gets 1 chance to bag..........

perhaps we just need more players to establish divisions

fixing to start an advertising campaign for all of our mini's, we'll see what happens, guess competitive golf isn't for everyone but there are alot of very good rec players here in the Fort that simply don't think they're good enough to compete when they really are, especially thru divisions or handicaps

[sschumacher]

Looks like I'm going to have to come down there and teach you guys the proper Okie bagging technique. Now that it's cooling off I should be able to manage at least one round without passing out.

Get ready Evan. I'm bringing snakes this time.

Just stay away from the powerful Arkie beer and you might not pass out [img]/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

As for the snakes I'll be bringing one of theses 2 along for backup

[sschumacher]

You better bring something. Pitch has sent me his 360 instructional DVD and it includes a special section on snake tossing.

[evandmckee]

I've got around 6 windows open on this pc trying to keep up with the USDGC............the AR/OKsuckydiscgolferDGC is going on the backburner for now..........I'll be back to smack your evil snake charming arse in a little while

and by the way a 360 is not when the world starts spinning around you before passing out

you need to forget that crazy crap and learn a good sidearm

where in the hell are those dots at now

ACE POT - $81

wafda.org's forum is down, when back up I'll be posting the link to current handicaps

[evandmckee]

apparently someone has attempted to steal some baskets at Ben Geren, around 14 of the sleeves had been pryed upon bending the tabs, 4 locks broke

luckily no baskets were taken

Roger Koenigseder is replacing the broke locks out of WAFDA mini money and hopefully being able to bend the tabs where they'll still work

several flags were also stolen from the ball golf course

[evandmckee]

Next Saturday, 12-8, 10:30am tee-off

Ace Pot's $87

much pin movement this week, should be playing a shorter course, I'm looking into a more ratings style handicap to offset this problem, some players the longer positions effect and some they don't

looking at discgolfunited.com, just not sure yet
