My goal is to become a 12x world champion!!! {YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!!}

Personally my goal is to one day hit a roller ace :o that's right, I want to hit an ace by throwing a roller.

Anyone else have any quirky or realistic DG goals?

To be healthy enough to play into a ripe old age... Wouldn't hurt my feelings to have someone ask, "Sir, could you please remove your walker from the teebox." :cool:

Good one.

Personally my goal is to one day hit a roller ace :o that's right, I want to hit an ace by throwing a roller.


I was with Jeff Homburg in Huntsville, AL in 1983 when he hit an ace with a thumber roller. The disc (50-mold, I believe) hit a root just in front of the basket, popped up in the air and hit the chains. Incredible!

My goal is to play disc golf in each of the fifty U.S. States.

Of course, it wouldn't hurt if I played disc golf *well* in each of those states, but I'd have to backtrack to a few states I've already played in. ;)

To hit 50 career sanctioned wins this year and Win a Major

I wanna play more than 2 tournaments this year. (I hate my job)

I've never seen a roller ace, but I have hit a squirrel with a roller. The poor thing never saw it coming. Hole 5 at Fritz Park in Irving, TX. I cranked a beat-up Stingray off the box and the disc landed dead-center on the back of a squirrel looking for nuts in the fairway! That little squirrel jumped over two feet in the air and then ran up the nearest tree.

To win Am World's in Jr's and Advanced and then win Pro world's.

To turn pro for a year or two, retire, then become a good ball golfer.

Schwebby: I'd love to see you get that major in the sunshine state this year. Lemme know if you want a caddy who's familiar with the course. It'll be tough, though, there are several local cats that want that cup to stay down here in '08.

On the roller ace stuff: I heard a rumor that Mark Ellis aced #2 at Cliff Stevens with a sidearm roller. Can anyone verify? Also at Cliff, I played with John E. McCray once on the old 400ft. #17 (before the roller-blade path went in) and he laid down a nice roller that jumped off a root and kissed chains. He said that was his third close call on that one.

My disc golf goal: start saving my blood bank money now for the '09 KC Worlds and be competitive for the am-masters title!

Make the sport of disc golf better.

(Which is also my suggestion for the PDGA mission statement)

Make the sport of disc golf better.

Chuck, you know you've already hit that goal, I think what you meant to say was:
"Make the sport of disc golf even better."

To be the best putter the world has ever seen

Mach 3

To make the Woodshed and Whippin Post a self sustaining entity.

My long-term goal right now is just to be able to play competitively again. My short-term goal is to have successful knee surgery and rehab and be playing tournaments before 2008.

TO HAVE FUN!!!

Personally my goal is NEVER to win. You can only control how well you play, not if someone else plays better.

I would rather play awesome and miss cash than play poorly and win.

My main goal is to install as many courses as I can. I'd also like to win a doubles event with one of my sons as my partner.

I have a roller ace..Lucky it was, coming into a rock wall and poppin up and in...I would like my brother and to become the highest rated brothers ever in the sport.

To hear as many people as possible say "I saw disc golf on TV last night!"

That's why my show is always free to broadcasters. The more, the merrier.

Almost had a roller ace once, on the morning after an ice storm. Rolled #10 Monster (the one Des aced last weekend) up the trunk of a cedar tree, across some lower-than-usual-hanging branches, and then glancing off ice-covered chains. Dang.

How noble of you

My goal is to take money from Dave Wise 95% of the time. I am close but hey, nobody's perfect. :p

There is a hole in Greenville NC that the only ace ever on the hole was a roller

Mach 3

Very cool!! I came close one time by doing the same thing, hitting a root on the ground next to a tree and the disc pops up a few feet and barely misses the basket.

It will happen one day I just know it!!

to become the rasheed wallace of disc

Consistently play within 5% of my ability.
(Typical tourney rounds are 100 points apart.)

So you want to be ejected from disc golf tournaments and fined thousands of dollars?

Qualify for the USDGC.

I think that would be the Cam Todd of basketball.

I just want to beat Kevin Gomez at a tournament once.

TO MAKE A FRIGGIN' PUTT! Just one putt!

Seriously, I am working on the putting game (which has sucked) and want to be 80% from 20 feet. I know that may not sound exciting, but for me it would be awesome!

Oh, and I want to make a drive past the trees on hole 2 at Elk Grove. Dem trees is about 370 feet out and I have been within a few feet on several occasions. I think it's gonna happen this weekend!

My goals are
- Get off the bottom of the PDGA ratings for adult males (see tagline). :p
- Throw 750+ rated rounds consistently by September. :cool:
- Throw an 800 rated round this year. :eek:
- Make More Putts :mad:

SEnk

Goals:
Card a two on the Wilmont #8
Card a three on Cameron East #16

Get my first 1000 rated round. Get a three on hole 18 at Tinicum.

My goal is to simply be a great ambassador for the sport. As much as I like cashing in tournaments what matters most is having fun on and off the course, and getting more people into the sport. Sure, I like many of you, would like to be one of the worlds best disc golfers, but if people know me more for drawing attention to and growing the sport to make it mainstream and nationally recognized then I've already become #1.

To be nominated for Rookie of the Year honors for the 2007 season.

My goal for the year is to consistently be close to Jeff Schwass and Tom Organ in my local league in handicapless score. So far, I've been close with Jeff, but Tom has been shooting lights out.

As a player, my goal is to shoot 1000 every round I play.
As an organizer, my goal is to get at least $500 sponsor added cash to every event the 101 puts on.

As a player my goal is to crush A bee every time we battle

As EMDG ceo my goal is to ridicule and taunt everyone in our club as much as possible

As EMDG ceo my goal is to ridicule and taunt everyone in our club as much as possible



It's nice to see someone inebriated by the phenomenal success of meeting their goals so often.

As a player, reach that elusive 900 mark.
As an organizer, to last more than 5 years.

1- To pass on to my children a lifetime sport and passion
2- to have enough time away from my job to do #1 and play at least 2 nice tourneys a year
3- to play on at least one card with the top pros in said 2 tourneys
4- to have a disc golf paradise island with 200 holes, fly pads everywhere, a resort and a pro shop the size of "Bass Pro Shops"

Wow I have a lot ahead of me in life so my goals are numerous. I'd love to play with or even meet any of the big nationwide pros (BHMO or pro worlds coming to my town?) I think at least one ace (my first) in the next 30 years is fair. Win at Intermediate, move up to advanced, move up to open and throw a 1000 rated round. Watch, throw, SOMEHOW closely experience the first 1100 rated round. Bring disc golf with me whenever I go, always look to get people into the sport, lobby to install or improve courses in the area.

One particular idea I enjoy is designing a course alone eventually. Finally, if life allows, I want to be one of the best players ever. I practice for hours each week, I'm just afraid of when that free time is taken up by family and work. One great thing about disc golf is even with family and work, I could always find time to play in a local tourney at least once a year.

Hey shooting a 1000 rated round in Intermediate is possible check this out web page (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=6768&year=2007&incl udeRatings=1#Open)

How are three people rated above 915 playing intermediate?

Must be part of the new "Ron Russell" rule in Florida.

I would like to break 850 in the near future, be a competitor in every tourny I play, and throw an 900 rated round this season. If it becomes official I threw an 882 in my first pro tourny... :)

oh also play respectably at Am Worlds, want to make the QC proud!

How are three people rated above 915 playing intermediate?



One received an exemption from the PDGA that person came in second, the 1st place person isn't current with the PDGA, and the other person I don't know. The intermediate Division here in Florida is really tough. The person who took 1st can throw 480 ft, and can drain 30 ft putts.

My personal goal would be to get my rating over 1025, make the Star Team with Innova(win a major), and win a sportsmanship award.

OH yeah and never miss again!!!!

They are idiots if YOU are not on the star team , coda ...

The PDGA has a rule that says if you have intermediates playing in a point series, they can continue to play intermediate for the point series events ONLY.

That is true we have a seriesweb page (http://www.fabflatour.org/) this is a points based system. I have also been told that if you are not in the running for 1st place or the top 5 you have to play where your player rating puts you. I don't really care anymore.

2009 Am World Champion, or at least a good finish. My dad lives in KC and has never seen me play, if he pooped his pants that would be cool too.

all i want is to win USDGC, just once would be enough

Michael Brownlow had a 1015 rated round as a rec player in
2005 in Tyler, Texas. He was a 905 rated player at the time.

My personal goal is to go bogey free on every round that I play.

I never really had a goal other than to improve consistently until this past weekend. Now I'm looking at a short term (read: one year) goal of being top 5 at US Am Nats.

if he pooped his pants that would be cool too.



WTF?

My long-term goal right now is just to be able to play competitively again. My short-term goal is to have successful knee surgery and rehab and be playing tournaments before 2008.



I have accomplished many of my DG goals in the last 12-15 years, but right now i'm in the same boat as you with a different injury. :confused:

What sucks is....I can't get knee surgery til I finish writing and defending my thesis and submit it to the grad school.....which is looking like late July/early August.

I just want a player rating worthy of my skill level..
Then I will get to play Ke'Ohana
Someday I will be as cool as My Hero...

DG will still be here when school and rehab is done. Just dont get your priorities messed up like a lot of DGers seem to do.

My disc golf goal:
sometimes a pole hole
sometimes a tone pole
sometimes a tree or other object

My goal is to play disc golf in all 50 states. As of now, I've played over 75 courses in 30 different states. After this summer, I should put another six states on the board.

Courses I Have Known (http://kenmorefield3.blogspot.com/)

I'd like to play the Great 8 and survive The Great 8 (http://www.thegreat8.com)

I'd like to develop and maintain the same generosity of spirit and sportsmanship that I've seen displayed by John Nisewonder.

I'd like to play a tournament round in which I throw at least one backhand, flick, hammer, thumber, and roller without getting a bogey.

Someday I will be as cool as My Hero...
