I would suggest Facebook or Twitter to keep up with the scoring. I am sure some will place scores here as well.

thanks jonathan! looks like the stroke and distance change has taken its toll.

deoldphart · Oct 02 2010, 05:19 PM

Big Wigg, JJ just text, said he didnt make it. He was even through 8. what is par anyway

dwiggmd · Oct 02 2010, 05:35 PM

not sure but last year you needed a 64 to get in. The changes have made things quite abit tougher.

deoldphart · Oct 02 2010, 05:38 PM

You got that righht. 6 to 8 strokes different. How dead is this discussion board. Where we gonna get up to date info. Any Ideas

this is off of the Charlotte Disc Golf Clubs board, there is a bunch of chatter on there about all the information that I think that you are looking for.

See you on the course Rock!!
Love you

Qualifying is done and big props to those that got in. And if you look at just the scores, then yes they seem higher than last year. The new rule change of stroke plus distance makes the Winthrop Gold course even tougher.

For those out there who are unfamiliar with the rule it goes something like this. If you throw out of bounds, you take a stroke penalty and rethrow from the same spot. No forward advancement. The only exception is hole 12 where if you don't make it in bounds on your initial drive then there is a drop zone you move to.

Combine this with a few fairways that are even tighter and the result is higher scores. This year will be some of the highest scores you'll ever see. Par golf should put you in a solid spot for cash. Another thing that I observed that was interesting was the strategy on hole 5 for some qualifiers. I was standing up on the observation deck with Dave Greenwell watching qualifiers throwing out around the clump of trees in the corner as opposed to throwing across the lake. Throw across the lake and don't make it, there's 2 strokes and you're throwing again from the same lie. Seemed easier to take your 6 or 7 by going the long way rather then trying to cross the water and watching your score add up quick.

The winner this year will not only be the one that makes the most putts but alos the one that keeps it in bounds and takes the fewest OB strokes. This is going to be a fun USDGC.

cgkdisc · Oct 03 2010, 09:49 AM

Please use "throw" instead of "stroke." It's really "throw and distance" for OB penalties. The word "stroke" has never been in the disc golf rulebook. Looks like players will be in the throes of many extra throw penalties this year.

sammyshaheen · Oct 03 2010, 10:15 AM

Now the Open is truly the toughest test
disc golf has to offer. Distance, accuracy,
course management and mental toughness.

USDGC · Oct 03 2010, 02:21 PM

Thanks to Clash!

Don't upset the man behind the green curtain! LOL!

This is bizarro world! I'm still trying figure out the reasons for designing a course with one set of rules going towards aggressive golf and then switching the rules drastically without adjusting the course. There is no rough, just rethrow! Records will be broken...will 150?

cevalkyrie · Oct 03 2010, 08:41 PM

Jonathan or Harold. Please call me ASAP about the IL State Rep Spot. (Eight Four Seven) 858 - Four Three Six Eight. I sent Jonathan an e-mail and left a message about the situation.

I saw a 165. But it was a new player (playing only 3 months). We gave him a lot of tips. He got markedly better as the round progressed. Only took an 11 on 888!

m_conners · Oct 04 2010, 05:10 PM

Can anyone direct me to the usdgc fantasy golf action? I heard about it last weekend and can't find it. Thx!

Does anyone know if the Rockstar Par 3 Shootout is going to be held on Saturday morning? I've played it the last 3 years and was hoping to do so again. It usually works out great because when you get back to Winthrop the lead card is about to tee off. thanks

USDGC · Oct 04 2010, 10:16 PM

Due to the dwindling numbers showing up and the need for resources in other areas, we will not be holding the Par 3 shootout this year.

cgkdisc · Oct 05 2010, 04:04 PM

Val aces hole 1 in match play.

deoldphart · Oct 05 2010, 06:22 PM

Ok, made my donation. Now when do we get to enjoy the live streaming videos. Is thier going to be certain times each day. Anybody?

Wow, wasnt aware we could could change our tee time. ppppssshhhhh.

phluffhead · Oct 06 2010, 09:35 AM

Where can one find the scores? they usually have them after 6 holes

cgkdisc · Oct 06 2010, 09:42 AM

With the 30 minute starting delay due to the car in the lake, I'm guessing they don't have enough groups thru 6 holes to post them yet.

phluffhead · Oct 06 2010, 09:48 AM

I feel bad for his caddy.

disctrapper · Oct 06 2010, 09:57 AM

Car in the lake? What happened???

seewhere · Oct 06 2010, 10:19 AM
