LaGrassa Open

[sandalbagger]

Word is Jeff is on his way over to the Burgh for some golf at Deer Lakes on the 29th or 30th of DECEMBER. The 1st annual LaGrassa Open. Will post the time when I know more. Come on out for a round of golf at the beautiful Deer Lakes.

Course record right now from the long blue tees is a 64 from me, J Gary and Sid Olcott.

The best back nine score is a 29 from the long tees by me, and a 28 on the front 9 by Sid. That is the best I know of as of now. The record should be about 58 or so I imagine once the good players make it here.

[Jeff_LaG]

You guys crack me up.

I'll be arriving at the Deer Lakes course bewteen 12:30 PM and 1 PM tomorrow Saturday December 30th.

What another great day for golf! Chris one bettered the course record from the blue tees (63) to win the LaGrassa Open. Jerry was one under par 65 and Jeff and J. Gary tied at 67.

We moved some more of the pins on the course...Holes #1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18 are in A positions; #5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 17 are now in B positions, making for some new looks.

We have been moving tee blocks as well to keep the footing good and to zero in in locations for Blue tees rated at 950, White tees at 900 and Red tees at 850. You might note #10 Blue tee moved up onto dam acess road at least temporarily.

How do I post pics on this BB?

J. Gary,

You'll need to upload the photos to a server first. I recommend ImageShack or GlowFoto. Then use the image tag in your post. When formatting your post, click on Image and then paste the URL address of the photo. For example,

Code:

---

would produce the following:

What a beautiful day. Two great days of gold in a row. a 63 at Moraine and then a 63 at Deer Lakes. Guess they are both about 950 rated tees like we thought.

Agreed. And for shooting the best score at The LaGrassa Open, Sandalbagger won a coveted Ace Race SuperColor mini! Congrats, Chris!

My good friend Jason Haas will likely be coming out from Columbus, Ohio to meet me for a few rounds at Deer Lakes on Saturday June 9th or Sunday June 10th. It would be great if J. Gary Dropcho, Jerry Gotcher, Chris Deitzel, Dan Sauers, et al, would join us if they are available.

Bad weekend for competition at Deer Lakes. The Moraine Monthly is scheduled for June 9 and the Knob Hill Course Championship is scheduled for June 10 (to be announced shortly). If you are looking for camaraderie, you are welcome to join us for either event!

D'oh. Unfortunately this is the only weekend that works for Jason Haas and I. And part of the reason I'm coming out is to show Jason the world class Deer Lakes Park course, which he has not yet played and keeps hearing rave reviews about! Thanks for the heads-up, though.

[gotcha]

Maybe you guys can make it out to the Moraine Monthly for one event....either morning singles or afternoon doubles. Then you can spend the rest of the day (or all day Sunday) at Deer Lakes. Just a suggestion....

Either way, we hope to see ya!

[gotcha]

Scores?

[Jeff_LaG]

Scores?

Jerry,

I'd like to thank you and J. Gary for all the calls and e-mail invites to attend the organized tournament competition over the weekend; however the two guys I was playing with both have young children and our schedule just didn't allow it.

We had a blast! Both courses have been maintained by the park service and are looking phenomenal - especially Moraine. Deer Lakes is really coming along sweet and the tee signs will be great when they are installed. This was my first time playing to the C pin on hole#1, the B pin on hole#3, the C pin on hole#9, and the C pin on hole#12, and I loved them all, especially the long pin on hole 1 which makes makes for a difficult pro par 4, and the long pin on hole#9, which requires a tricky approach shot and makes this a true pro par five hole.

As for scores, Dan, Jason, and I didn't play so well from the white tees, but Jason and I started to put it together in the second round from the blue tees.

Jeff	4	3	5	3	3	4	3	3	5	33	4	3	3	3	5	3	4	2	3	30	63

Finishing the round with a deuce on hole#17 and my first ever 3 on hole#18 from the blue tees allowed me to shoot a personal best round of 63 from the blue tees. I believe this is 3 strokes off J. Gary's unofficial course record of 60. Jason is rated somewhere around 880-890, so that 71 is actually a good round for him.

We found an awesome beer bar / restaurant near Deer Lakes. Sam Morgan's is located about 1/4 mile north of the PA Turnpike exit for Rt. 28. They've got 17 beers on tap, of which 14 are micros, and a spunky blonde bartender who is a beer goddess. We had dinner there on Saturday night and loved it so much we went back there for a late lunch on Sunday. Disc golf at Deer Lakes and beers afterwards at Sam Morgans are going to go hand-in-hand from now on, in the tradition of such great partnerships as:

[*]Moraine State Park & North Country Brewing in Slippery Rock, PA[*]Codorus State Park & Kclingers in Hanover, PA[*]Cape Henlopen State Park & Dogfish Head in Rehoboth Beach, DE[*]Seneca Creek State Park & Dogfish Head in Gaithersburg, MD[*]Little Lehigh Parkway and J.P. O'Malley's in Allentown, PA[/list]

[gotcha]

Let me guess....RHBHR for the deuce on 17?

Jerry,

Nope, an airshot and a putt from behind the picnic table. After playing with you guys the last time, you all convinced me it was dumb to throw the roller when I can reach it with an airshot.

I did however use a roller on the approach on 18, which ended up 4' from the pin for my first ever birdie 3 from the blue tees.

I threw rollers on holes #9, 10, & 18 at Deer Lakes, and holes #9, 16, and 17 at Moraine. 16 was a forehand.

[Jeff_LaG]

Hey guys, once again I'll be out in Da Burgh to see a concert on New Year's Eve. It would be great if J. Gary Dropcho, Jerry Gotcher, Dan Sauers, Josh Charlton, Chris Deitzel, and any other interested golfers would join me for a round from the blue tees at Deer Lakes. I can't promise 70 degrees like we had last year so let's just hope for the best! Sunday Dec. 30th around 1 PM at Deer Lakes. (FYI, the Steelers will be playing @ Baltimore at that time but it should be a meaningless game since the Men of Steel will have the 2nd place AFC seed locked up at that point )

[Rex_Trimm]

If my hand is healed up I'll try and make it.

[Jeff_LaG]

Please do, Rex. I'd like to meet you, and have you join us.

[jmc2442]

YES... YES... Y E S!!!! Fire up the barby, LaGrassa is comin' to da' burg!

I'm in.

oh, and btw Jeff, the Morgan's has some serious porters running amuck right now. Thought you'd like to know your beer goddess has been hard at work!

[kUrTp]

The wife and I are there!!! I've been meaning to meet the Great LaGrassa!!! Plus I want to talk to you about PASDGC 08!!!

[Rex_Trimm]

Listen to that, Josh talking about beer to someone who likes beer and not even offering one to me. lol The hand is better, but still can't throw without pain. By then I should be good.

[Jeff_LaG]

Looking forward to meeting you, too, Kurt.

[xxDxSxx]
