Prediction: Coda Hatfield, First Annual GPO Champion

There was a fire started on hole 10 yesterday. It looks like someone set the trash can on fire at the tee pad and it worked its way back towards the basket on hole 9. Nothing too bad happend but please be careful with your cig buds and stuff, it really stinks at the tee pad.

it really stinks at the tee pad.



Typical for stinky Norman! :o

Some of the new benches and trash cans have been setup. They look great. Most of the tee boxes will be set by the second weekend in April. Anyone wanting to help, please call me.

We played Griffin yesterday- the new benches look good- and the Tee signs were new since the last time I was out there too (been awhile though).
I did see A LOT of cig butts on the ground around the Tee's and lots of empty beer cans NEXT to garbage bins. It only take a little extra effort to keep the course clean. A lot of people work very hard on the courses, lets all do our part.

GPO fundraiser discs are available.

Very nice!

Not bad for discraft I might have to buy one.

Man that is sweet, but I think that I like the 05 Pro Am Stamp a little better. Now that was a sweet stamp.

Will the merchandise for this event be exclusivley discraft?

Thanks to all the people and OU students who came out this last weekend. Six tee cement tee boxes went in (Holes: 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 & 13). Four other boxes are formed and ready to go. We will get to these ASAP.

Griffin Park Mini starts this Wednesday so come get some practice.

You can sign up for GPO at the Griffin Mini on Wed. or at the Lions Mini on Thurs. until the tournament.

Yo ChrisP, it was good to see you at World Dubs. It was also fun watching Digger and KelDog win a World title in sudden death :cool:

I should be able to make GPO, it's the weekend after Chandler and I think I could use a little getaway to Norman.

I hope some of you Norman boys show up to Chandler Tornado, it will be a very unique disc golf tournament -AND- the pro field with be abnormally LARGE.

mc

Thanks Mike, It was good to see you too.
Did you guys decide what brew will be on tap at the Tornado?

It's looking like Bud Select is the first choice...second choice will probably be a Boulevard type beer.

As I'm sure I've mentioned before, the unfiltered wheat is delightful :D

Another tee pad went in yesterday! Along with 3 more signs. Griffin will be in 300% better shape than it was during States last year. Bear in mind it is still a "work in progress". However, you should be impressed with the progress we've made. That makes 7 concrete "blue" tees. "Red" tees to follow after we get the 11 blue tees poured.

Hey Chrisp, I found a portable concrete company that deals primarialy with home owners and small projects. They mix it at the time of pour and you only pay for what you use. It's a real slick operation. Even King was impressed with it. The truck can get around more places than a standard concrete truck and each pour is fresh, it hasn't set in the truck for an hour. They waived the delivery charge and to have a Saturday pour it was $94 per yard and we used a total of 18.5 yards for all 18 tees.
Just and Idea.

Thanks Dave!

Hey you all, PLEASE, PLEASE don't wait until Saturday morning to sign up for this tournament. We don't want to turn anyone away, but it looks like we might have to. It would suck if you are coming from out of town and we didn't have any spots left!! Sign up at one of the mini's in Norman, or on the doubles on the Friday of GPO eve. Or TitleDisc.com (http://www.titledisc.com/Events/Griffin_Park_Open.php)

so how close is it to filling and who are the pre regs if you dont mind me asking ?

Will the world champ be there? I have a magnet that belongs to him.

i think so. he's playing adv at the Griffin mini.

Just got back from the course. We poured two boxes tonight in the dark (holes 16 and 9). We also added 5 wood post to hang your bags on. Thoose were donated by Richard Alcorn. Thanks to the following guys for all their hard work tonight:

Chris Pierce
Steve King
John Logan
Jake Christian
Andy Barnett
Bill Sheely
Kelly Allen
Jennifer Allen

Cement boxes are on 7-16.

What is the stamp on the discs going to look like?

It's a incolor stamp of hole one James launching multiple discs towards the fence :D

It looks like

THIS (http://www.normandiscgolf.com/gpo.php)

Just talked to Ben at TitleDisc and he has a bunch of sign ups from Monday and Tuesday for me. I will update the registration as soon as I receive them. We will also be taking sign ups at the mini tonight.

53 players have signed up as of Wed night. Titledisc will close tonight at 10:00 pm.

64 Players signed up at end of Title Disc sign ups on Thursday night. This event will more than likely fill up tomorrow at doubles. Better get in while you can!!

Excellent tourney, great job Dannie. I heard that the payouts were fat too. The key word being heard because unfortunatley I didn't recieve for myself.

That score is UNREAL. Nice job Coda

Thank you.

Complete payout is listed here (http://www.normandiscgolf.com/docs/gpopayout.pdf).

We also gave out $560 in CTPs. These were FREE CTPs. You did not have to pay for these and they did not come out of the entry fees. Thanks to all of the Tournament and CTP sponsors.

TD report is complete and will be sent in today. I will calculate the course stats and post them later this week.

Drew putting during the final nine.

Nice finish Popalock, looks like your 1st round was a good one.

You want some of this???

Some of what?

That crap you call game? :o

You want some of this???



I want your "A" game, not the sack of crap 2nd, 3rd and final round game you played last weekend :o

Well, unfortunately you will just have to settle for whatever game I bring. Even I never know which one it shall be. :confused:

They should have given Coda all the money, 19 strokes????

How the hell was there only 1 person under par for this event? Was there some kind of drastic change to the course???

Was the wind blowing 80 mph???

There were 3 people under par until the final 9. :D

If your off your game you will shoot over par. Kevin, you can test the course out at States.

Between 2005 OK States and GPO there have been 329 rounds and only 22 rounds were under par (par 55). That means that 6.6% of the rounds are under par. The course is doing its job. You must have all of the shots to be succesful on this course.

I didn't realize it rained as hard as it did on Saturday

Already seeing some Online Registration (http://www.soldiscsports.com/pd_gpo.cfm) ... This event would have filled if not for the monsoon like rain we got last year (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=5725) . It's capped at 90 players...don't miss out!
