The Live Oak Disc Golf Alliance and the Disc Golf Association announce the 2006 DGA Live Oak Summer Open, Live Oak City Park, Live Oak, Texas.

This PDGA "B" Tier event will be held May 6-7 and will feature the following: 36 permanent holes, DGA Players package for amateurs, lunch Saturday and Sunday, DGA Mach Lite Baskets to winners of the Men's Advanced, Intermediate and Rec divisions. Lady winners (and you're all winners), we'll have some great DGA stuff for you too! Minimum $500 added cash to Pro Divisions, probably more. Last year we added $1,000.

The raffle will be an incredible opportunity to get you a piece of history, as we will raffle off an authentic San Saba DiscCatcher, and we'll have two Steady Ed Memorial Discs with Steady Ed's ashes. More cool merch than you can shake a disc at!

162 players last year can't be wrong. Come and find out why Live Oak is the place to be in May!

This is For sure the best Tournament around!!! I cant wait to play these courses again, maybe i'll go up tomorrow for some practice :D

Nope, it's the Summer Open, I have naming rights.

The cool, May days in Live Oak... :)

I'll get it changed back on the calendar.

Or I might pay to have a new banner made up with the new name. :cool:

Thanks Gary!

Great News! James Pellman has donated a disccatcher sport basket to the winner of advanced Women. So that's 4 baskets to amateur winners at the DGA LOSO! Thanks James!

Oh, and I'm going to make that $1,000 added cash mark fo sho!

Way to step up Pellman :D

I can guarantee at least $1,000 added cash to the 2006 DGA LOSO. Come and get it!

:D Big thanks James. :D

LOSO is now up on www.titledisc.com (http://www.titledisc.com)

We have our two first paid entries... Smokin Joe Torres in Open and Jerry "El Chile" Perez in Masters. Thanks guys!

Reminder, if you want to enter and pay at the event you can, just send me your name, email address, division, pdga #, and ace pot y/n.

Though I have room for 180, we may cap at 150 to allow some breathing room on the courses, so sign up early and often :D

We are not Skeered :DCan't wait for this one again. Great work Brian on the DGA sponsorship.( first one to sign-up) :cool:

Smokin Joe Torres in Open and Jerry "El Chile" Perez in Masters.



****, those boys don't waste any time, or is Pete just paying off debts. :p


Though I have room for 180


Don't you have like 45 holes out there or something at that disc golf complex?

No James Pete still owes :DMaybe you should have PDP take care of your entry fee :Dshhee he still owe's you $$$

Yes James, we have 40, but we'll only use 36 of them on two 18 hole layouts. I'm skipping 15A, B and C where the huge backups occurred last year, but adding the 2,200 feet 11A, B (across the lake), and C! And I think I skip 13, I'd have to check my hole assignament list at home. Oh and the infamous island hole #4 will be in play the same as last year. Tee once; if you miss the island go to the drop zone with a penalty stroke. Keep throwing from the drop zone with penalty until you are safely on.

Besides 150 is manageable, 160+ gets crazy!

What? Skipping 15 A-C? Say it ain't so. 15B is a separator hole. IMO, you're penalizing accuracy off the tee by skipping it. And I admit 15C needs a tree or two taken out beyond the mando, but still it's a hole that messes with players' minds. (I like holes that instill fear of missing a spot 20' off the tee---and watching how many people actually struggle with that.)

We played #13 last year.


Nonetheless Brian, looking forward to another quality LOSO (this time, in the cool, May days). :)

15 A is easy, 15 B caused 30-45 minute backups (as many as five cards at one point). 15 C is a silly clown's mouth mando in my opinion that makes it difficult to write rules for since the mando is not clearly defined. I had too many arguments about that hole last year.

But no worries, wait till you see 11C. It's 800 feet of pure technical joy! Blows 15 B away in my opinion.

"no worries!"
you been hangin out with Kangaroos too long
Its "Don't worry"

you're probably right, mate :D

I like 15a,b,c, I shot 2 under on those holes at the Texas 10 finals.

On the other hand, you can cut hole 24(?) That was the hole I shot a 9 on for my first hole in the second round :o:( :p :D

now we also have 11a 11b 11c

mate!?
we ain't mating
Mate is what you do when you want to have puppies :D

Vinnie thats sick mating with a dog just so you can have puppies :o:DYUCK :D

15 A is easy, 15 B caused 30-45 minute backups (as many as five cards at one point). 15 C is a silly clown's mouth mando in my opinion that makes it difficult to write rules for since the mando is not clearly defined. I had too many arguments about that hole last year.

But no worries, wait till you see 11C. It's 800 feet of pure technical joy! Blows 15 B away in my opinion.



I was sad that we had to skip 11A-C at the Ice Bowl. Minella and Turbo had me intrigued by their descriptions.

We're gonna disagree on the 15's... :)
I think the problem with 15B is that you've got too many open-air golfers who couldn't throw tight shots if they were spotted bumper lanes. (Not like I did well on this hole, two 5's going for 3's, but golfers complicate it more than they should.)

15C should be a double mando (right and top). Pretty clear definition IMO at the mando line. Problem is the silliness inbetween the mando and the basket (no real route).

Not that we are voting or anything, but 15 A and B are nice. Couldn't you just put an am box closer to the turn on 15B? It would speed things up. Or, maybe do this: put a drop zone at the turn and allow anyone who wants the option of throwing three from there after their first shot. That would speed things up also.

It's nice to have so many choices. Trust me, both courses will make you work for your payout!

I played 11a,b,and c this weekend...very good holes(c is tough :eek:) ...#13 is a silly hole(good choice to remove)...and if you skipped the 15's where would you go after 14?...BTW the courses looked really good(looks like a lot of work has been done since I was last there)

To keep the courses to 18 holes each I have to make choices. You really can't do 15 A and B without C, the walk would be long to the next hole. To keep a nice circular route, it would be difficult to pick three other holes on the city hall course to give up too.

Bryan, 24 is the 400 foot downhill hole, you may mean 23 or 25, both in the 600 foot range and full of disc eatin schule.

Mitch, you play #15 then play #28 and turn back toward #1 for the Lake course.

The other course starts on #16 and ends on #27.

It's a great natural break point. Did that happen naturally or did Houck actually want that?

James, has a good idea for 15B. :) (Not like we have a voice...)

I'll post my layouts tomorrow, and then take comments for a few days. I'm flexible, well I was when I was 20!

I see the problem with keeping 15A-C on a loop.

So if I'm doing the math right, only two temp holes? 17A & 17B?

Nothing like excitement for the event 3 months in advanced!

No temp holes needed! I'm excited, time flies beleive me!

Hmmm...that means we are playing #13. And #10P.

Muhahahahahahahahaha. :)

Not sure on 13, definitely not 10p. 13 has been cut so as to force an anhyzer mando away from 14's tee box. If we play it, we'll put the mando into play.

Bryan, 24 is the 400 foot downhill hole, you may mean 23 or 25, both in the 600 foot range and full of disc eatin schule.


Yep, that's it, I tried to throw over the trees and didn't make it. It took me 3 more throws to get an upshot, which I left short, then I missed my putt like 4 times for a 9 :p

Ouch! You need to come to LOSO and get revenge on that hole!! :cool:

FO SHO!!! Hope to play this one!!!!

Layouts for the two 18 hole courses:

Lake Course... two options, because we aren't sure if 10A and 10B will be ready for LOSO...

Option 1 preferred:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10A,10B,11,11A,11B,11C,12,13
(no mando on 13)
Option 2:
1,2,3,4,5,5A,6,7,8,9,10,11,11A,11B,11C,12,13M,14
(Mando on 13, 5A plays from top of hill by 1's tee pad down close to 6's tee box.)

City Hall Course
15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,A,B,C,D,24,25,26,27,28

13 has been cut so as to force an anhyzer mando

you know what mando means right?? Poor design :D

Are you telling me and everybody else that Mr. Houck doesn't know what he is doing or how to design a course. :oBecause you know that he is the original designer of Live Oak. :D

How about skipping #13 and playing #14 instead?

#14 is a better hole than #13, and then the mando issue is moot. :D

It's a longer walk from 14 to 1, than 13 to 1. But I'm not playing, so if players are cool with that I can change it.

What's a few more feet, no shuttle service? :D

I vote for 14.

It's a longer walk from 14 to 1, than 13 to 1. But I'm not playing, so if players are cool with that I can change it.



But shorter than the usual walk from 28.... Another 400' isn't going to kill us (well, not sure about the Masters...) :) :) :)

Still waiting to hear from the city if they will finish 10A and 10B in time for us.

I'm not exactly sure of all the numbers, but how about skipping a couple of those less-challenging (I was gonna say cheesy) early holes (2,3,4 or 5) and using 14, 15 and the hole going back towards 1?

I'm cool.

http://www.adamwade.com/humor/coffee/fonz.jpg

James, in my humble opinion, 2, 3 and 4 (played as an island) are pretty good holes. I can move the box on 5 to make it more difficult. 6 is tough across the water, and 7 is technical. 8 is kind of silly, but I can move it back too if need be. But you are going to want these birdies before you hit 11a-c.

I'm not sure what hole you are talking about going back to 1... the one that plays from the side of the football field to the practice basket? Good hole, but I can't plan in advance for it, because if there is anything happening on the field, the hole can't be played.

Whatever you want and decide is fine with me. The intent behind my suggestion is to eliminate the one negative I have about the Live Oak courses: the first nine holes (1, 6, and 7 excluded) are "must birdie golf." IMO, must birdie golf is not necessary in this day and age, and certainly not when there are so many challenging holes left unplayed.

LOSO LOGO:

this sounds amazing. i will def. be in attendance!

no #13 please...even John admits he has designed bad holes in the past(and this might be the one he means) :o

We played it last night with the mando to the left forcing a righty anhyzer. Some trees have been cut out to make a left fairway, albeit a tight one. It was a pretty good hole. RT, Carlos, Phil and I (all rated 950 or higher) three'd it, though two of us were close enough... 40-50' that the two was makeable.

I went out to Live Oak last night and came up with a couple of different formats for the two 18 hole courses.

Lake Course
1,2,3,4,5,5A,6,7,8,9,10,11,11A,11B,11C,12,13M,14

-or-

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10A,10B,11,11A,11B,11C,12,13M (if 10A and 10B are ready AND the course isn't under water.)

Int and rec will play short tees on 6,11A,11B and 11C both rounds.

City Hall Course
15,15A,15B,15C*,16,17,18,20-21A**,23,A,B,C,D,24,25,26,27,28

Ints and Recs to play short tees on 15,15A,15B,17,20-21A**,23,24, and 25 both rounds

4th round, pro's and advanced will play short tees on 15B,23,20-21A**, and 25 to save a little time and get you home earlier.

* - No mando enforced.
** - Play from 20 tee's box to about 100 feet past 21's basket (17B's old location)... about 700-800 feet. We played it at our food drive event, and it was well received, and keeps the course flow intact.

Distance Competition News:

At our pre-tourney meeting, we decided to retire the long distance competition for the 2006 LOSO. City hall received a few vociferous complaints regarding large unseemly characters jumping their back yard fences to retrieve errant discs. Although there are other areas we could hold the event, there is no place within close proximity to the club house, and players and spectators would have to drive a ways to watch/participate.

So, we have decided to run a special Ace Run event in it's place. All players who register for the ace pot will have the opportunity after the 4th round to throw the same hole that was used in the Texas 10 final for $30,000 ace (23C). If there are no aces for the prior 4 rounds, this will be used as the CTP for the ace pot as well. Each ace from this hole will split $250, and yes they can be skip aces or deflections off the tree unlike the Texas 10 rules. If there are no aces hit, the closest 5 players, plus ties will rethrow and the winner will receive $100 for the CTP. No additional fees are required to participate in this event.

LOSO, be there!

BOO no D contest and I had a red wildcat all ready :D ace race sounds cool. Will be sending in my entry this evening

And you may think I'm kidding, but this will fill, and I will cap at 150 to give some breathing room on the course. Vicky-T would have hit 150 if the weather was nicer and they had more room, so don't think wow, 150, i'll just sign up the day of. Anyways, all you need to do is send me an email or a PM and you can pay the day of. If I hit 150 before the day of, we'll start a waiting list.

So does that mean more added cash for Pros :D

The final amount of added cash is determined by a complicated, super secret formula stored in a hermetically sealed funk and wagnalls mayonaisse jar. I can only guarantee it will be at least $1,000, but probably more.

Welcome to new LOSO sponsor Twin Parks Country Club!

Final call for sponsors, t-shirts are going to press soon. If I don't have your sponsorship by April 2, no name or logo on the tournament t-shirt.

Gald to see your making this one Gimp :D

Only if I can do it super cheap - hope there is a way...

Cheap! cheap! cheap!

Is that the Gimp birdcall? j/k :D

I know there is a good number of us headed that way, and I'm sure we'll find a spot for you, Gimp!

Has Vinnie moved from Garfield to Del Valle? Is the lure of Austin sucking him in, or does he just want to help keep Lou on the Del Valle school board? :D

Zero money will do that to you REAL fast... Anyone want to sponsor a hacker - lmao...

Good job Laura.

:D;) Thanks Jerry

ok, this is a possibility for me.

But I need someone to help with Gas.

Looking for a ride or someone to ride down there with me. (my truck gets about 17 MPG, 600 miles round trip would cost me about $90 right now)

Whenever you want to leave, I will work it out. (any time on Friday or Saturday morning really early)


ALSO, looking for floor space Saturday (possibly Friday Night)

However, I will split a room with someone comming down with me.

This will be one of the largest B-Tier tournaments in Texas, I want to be a part of it. (and it is one of the only open weekends I have that month)

Let's get sign up for this one so there will not be no regrets. :D

Just signed up via TitleDisc --- should be a HUGE event this year.

Come on, anyone from the DFW area going to this evet????

Looking for a ride or I will drive. I have a flexible schedule and can leave anytime.

ALSO, looking for a place to stay (prefer smoke free).

I will sign up as soon as I can work out travel arangments

Great Texas Tourney! Countdown in effect! :cool:

Players List Updated: 55/150 36.66% full.

http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=5761

Now 37.13% :)

Pizza God, I live in Grapevine, have a room at the La Quinta for Fri and Sat and will be driving there Friday morning, contact me if your interested in sharing the expenses for the trip.

most definatly interested.

I will PM you right now, I have to talk to my manager and wife to tell them I will be out on Friday.

Mr. TD, are you playing States? If so I will know if I am going then and could pay you there. If not I will just pay on Titledisc. :D

Sorry Matt I have to work that weekend, or you know I'd be there, I love Tom Bass! titledisc is cool, we look forward to seeing you crush our long holes :)

I will have to see how much $$$$ I have as i am trying to make the St luois thing happen this summer. :D

Hey Brian, looks like I will be riding down with 2putterr.

I will bring a bag of goodies for you guys to give away.

Sounds good, we look forward to seeing you!

Looks like there will be a baseball tournament competing with LOSO this year, so I have to make a course adjustment. Hole 5A, a temp hole that plays from the pavillion by hole 1 along the baseball field will be replaced by a connector hole between hole 11A and 11B. I'll renumber them to be 11A, 11B, 11C, and 11D. 11B will tee to the left of 11A's basket to a basket close to existing 11B's tee box (the one that plays across the lake.) There is actually a nice fairway defined already, just need to get it mowed. Waiting on approval from Parks and Rec for that. The new hole plays about 360 feet.

57 players and counting, will post updated list later. If entries start coming in heavy, I may start capping divisions to aid in course flow, so get in now if you're coming. I'd rather have 130-140 happy players than 150 unhappy ones. ;)

Happy LOSO!

Will Cinco de Mayo affect things as well Brian?

Good call on capping the fields. Late procrastinators should not be rewarded by playing this fun event.

Good turnout last night at the mini, I hope everyone there was signed up.

Can't wait to play LOSO :D

Layouts for the two 18 hole courses:

Lake Course... two options, because we aren't sure if 10A and 10B will be ready for LOSO...

Option 1 preferred:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10A,10B,11,11A,11B,11C,12,13
(no mando on 13)
Option 2:
1,2,3,4,5,5A,6,7,8,9,10,11,11A,11B,11C,12,13M,14
(Mando on 13, 5A plays from top of hill by 1's tee pad down close to 6's tee box.)

City Hall Course
15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,A,B,C,D,24,25,26,27,28



aside from the switch with 5A/11D is this still the layout (Option 2, I'm guessing)?

Not quite, but I'll post the layouts later today.

Thanks, Brian.

Ints and Recs will play some short tees on both courses.
Legend: E: Expert Tee, I: Island Hole, M: Mando

doh :D been working from home all day

I had to add a new temp hole between 11A and 11B, so I renumbered them and permanent 11C is now 11D for the tournament.

57 players and counting



Make that 58, just signed up with Titlediscs.com. Thanks Ben :D

58, got one more tonight. I am changing new 11B to 260 feet, and changing the 20-21 hole to a 19-21 hole (Ints and Recs will play normal hole 21.) Should play around 700 feet. Chris "Swedish" Himing and I played 35 of the 36 LOSO holes tonight. He shot even and I shot +1. I think a -5 to -7 is possible for the long layout.

I thought 15c had a triple mando under the tree.

removed the mando on 15C, too hard to define.

That's an early post LOSO TD!

Coarse is looking great. Tree's are full bloom and the grass is turning green. Gonna be a good one!

Oh yea, States followed by LOSO......Sweeeeeet, this will be my first appearance at LOSO, I can't wait. I love Live Oak courses. Only tourny I've played there is TX10. This should be a freakin' blast. See all of you in a couple of weeks!!!!!

Big Payout! I heard! Come on down!

Come on guys, there was 14 Masters last year. There should be at least that many again this year.

So Brian James, where are the Dallas area discgolfers are they SKEERED of driving south of Waco? It seems like master players (for the DFW area) don't like to travel this far south. bring them on down Pizza. Come on now! talk them in to coming.

I've heard DFW vehicles explode once they hit Temple.

Bender I've heard the same thing :D;)

Me too, and I'm scared to risk it. :cool:

Now Duke your from Plano, to me thats not DFW area :Dyour safe ;)

You coming Gary? You could stay at my place but I have no furniture (unless you can sleep in my office chair).

I blew a water pump in Waxahache on my way too COTO one year. (jeees, that was over 10 years ago)

I also dropped my alternator on a trip to OKC just after we passed Ardmore. We actually stuck a tennis ball between the alternator and the engine block. That got us there, however it fell out somewhere and the truck died as we pulled into the parking lot in Norman. (took it at lunch to a repair shop, they had it done and ready for me after the 2nd round)

Anyways, back on topic :D

It took me a few days to even find someone to share a ride with. I am comming with a Rec player from Grapevine.

Save me room for an air mattress on the floor somewhere.

Glad you can make it Gary! You can post the scores for me :D

Don't forget there is a mandatory checkin between 7:30am and 8:30am Saturday morning. Ams pick up your players packs at that time, pros pick up your tournament brochure. No checkee, no playee. Thanks for playing the LOSO!

Great Job so far Brian :D

Look at how even the Masters playing field is.

3 at 974
me at 973
and the local, Carlos, at 957. What he does not have in ratings should be made up in being the homie this weekend.

I better start practicing my putting. Still can't hit anything outside of 20ft. :confused: :(

I think we heard you thr first time. :o:D

Well folks we are 1/2 full at 75 players!

Players list updated....

http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=5761

Did I mention baskets to the winners of advanced Men, Int Men, Rec Men and Advanced Women?

And $1,200 added cash minimum, maybe more!

Don't miss out on this one :)

I'M IN TO CHALLENGE "ROAD KILL"! :eek:

Bring it on dog!!! :cool:

Call me a radical but I suggest that names should be drawn for the baskets in the divisions. I think that would be a great incentive for lower skilled players to join the tournement. Also, that way everyone in the divisions has a chance to come away a big winner and you eliminate the "bagger incentive". Plus, You allow unrated players in rec and int. Free baskets to the winner of rec? That is just chumming for sharks.

What kind of baskets?

Rec is trophy only, correct? If that's true, isn't it against the spirit of the concept to give the winner a basket?

I have DGA Mach Lites for Adv and Int Men, a DiscCatcher Sport and another Innova lite brand for Adv Women and Rec Men. I've advertised that the winners will get the baskets, and this counts as part or all of their payout depending on the size of the field. Can't change now. But it's a good idea for next year Seeker.

We are raffling off a San Saba DiscCatcher pro basket too($400 new) for $5 a chance, 2nd place gets a DGA mini pole hole.

No trophy only this year for rec. But a much smaller entry fee $18, part of which goes to the players pack. So far I'm not seeing any bagging in the rec division.

I think those baskets from San Saba were DiscCatcher Pro's...

I don't see your name on the player's list yet, Erron...you're coming right? And bring the rest of 3rd Coast with you.

True dat Erron. It's a heavy son of a gun!!

Ok, everybody I just spoke with La Quinta and the last day to book a room has been extended till tomorrow midnight after that day price will go up from $63.00 a night to $95.00 per night! They still have plenty of rooms left.

See info below if you need a room.

Too many complaints from neighbors about the distance competition held in the channel. I have been informed that the city does not anyone warming up there as well. We also have a baseball tourney going on at the same time, so any other distrance venue options were closed to us.

We will have a special ace run event at the completion of the tournament.

Players list updated... 94 players and counting. Better get in now, as I will cap divisions real soon. Thanks to all the players who pre-registed so far!

http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=5761

No distance competition?

Well, I was planning to attend this event, but with no distance competition, I just don't know anymore.

Well, OK, I'll show up anyway, but Robbie, just consider yourself lucky. :p

What about using #15 & 16 fairways?

Robbie needs to practice throwing far for Rock Hill.... :)

good thinking that Tony.

Too far from tourney central. Too late to change the program :D

Sounds like Tony just volunteered to run the "Red wildcat Big D" thanks Tony. Will it be $5 for 3 throws or $5 for 5?

Happy Birthday Chris! :D

Where is tournament HQ going to be at?

Anything organized going on on Friday??

Tournament Headquarters will be at the same place it was last year for both LOSO and the Texas 10 final... by the pool house at 7901 Shin Oak. We will not use the pool house this year, so you must check in at the building behind the pool house... you will see the HQ no problem.

Flex Dubs on Friday run by RT Evans, $20 per team, cash to pros, merch to ams. Ams and pros play long boxes during dubs. Turn in cards saturday morning before the start of round 1. Dubs flex start time will be 3-6, meet at the parking lot by hole 28 in the middle of the park.

My entry form is in the mail.
Looking forward to it. :cool:

Executive decision time. We're filling very fast now, so I will cut off all registration for the tournament on Wednesday, May 3 @ midnight. Maybe sooner, so if you would like to be a part of this great event, please register at www.titledisc.com (http://www.titledisc.com) or email/pm me your information and you can pay Saturday morning. I'm very close to capping divisions and will post the caps tomorrow to make sure no one has to play in a fivesome. There will be no waiting list for this event.

Back soon!

I'm very close to capping divisions and will post the caps tomorrow to make sure no one has to play in a fivesome



Who does not like to play in a fivesome????

I prefer it over capping entries.

I should have said no ints and recs will have to play in fivesomes. Advanced and up is cool ese. Personally, I know I don't like them that much though, the pace is too slow for me, but I'm a fast player and hate to stand around much.

(old man voice)

I remember back in the day playing in tournaments with 6, 7 and even 8 players on a card at a tournament. (8 players was at a one day event in Norman OK over 15 years ago)

I did not like the PDGA cap at 5 when they passed that. I though 6 would be better.

BTW, I HATE threesums. What if someone does not show up??

I am a fast player, but like a slow pace at a tournament.

I vote for 4 people max to a card, 5 people on a card just takes too long and I hate the slow pace of playing with 4 other people.

94 players already and the word on the street is the event will be capped at about 120 players, so sign up today or regret it tomorrow :D

My vote is for no street rumors. Remember as in my events "if the TD does not say it, don't believe it". You never know that street could lead to the bush. :D

Just signup now and there will be no issues.

Great job Brian, can't wait to play LIVE OAK!

So I guess you were sleeping when Brian was making announsments last night :oDont blame yourself on that one Brian has that affact on most everyone he talks too :o:D

FWIW, this Advanced player doesn't like fivesomes.

Players list updated... now at 107. Working on caps now ;)

Well done Brian. Can't wait to see all the crying Pro's expecting to get in late. :eek:

I started this thread in January, been handing out flyers for months, had Gordon email his entire e-mail list, talked it up at every event I went to, and didn't require anyone to pay in advance to register, though a big thanks to those who did!

No excuses :o

Where's Matt when you need him? Hopefully all those Pros without contact with the rest of the world will have some friends and let them know.

Thanks Brian.

Let's just put everyone on 1 card and play some herd golf!!!! :D

6 Spots left in Open (MPO).

Who signed up? Robbie B?

Matt, you sure gained some weight.

I also think that is a "female?". :D

Dagon signed up, not Robbie.

Robbie said he would sign up sometime today. :D

Oh I am sorry, I didn't realize you put a pic of your Girlfriend up there.

She will kill you if she sees that. :D

Oh I am sorry, I didn't realize you put a pic of your Girlfriend up there.



Ther's my girlfriend. I was helping here with her swing. :D

titledisc closes Sunday night. If you sign up and your division was capped, I'll send you a refund. You should e-mail or pm me before you sign up so I can hold the slot, or let you know if your division is full. There's only so much room on the course, cards are made, and maps have been printed, so no adding extra holes to accomodate late comers.

3 spots left in Adv Master.
