I have noticed recently that the Summertime Open is scheduled 5/31-6/1 on the PDGA page, and 6/7-8 on the SoCal page. My question is, which is it?

Still no Sunrise Showdown on the schedule...hope someone steps up and TD's the thing...

The So Cal Schedule will be updated shortly. The Summertime Open will be May 31-June 1st. So Cal was waiting for the organizers to confirm the exact date. That is why next to this event it says "event subject to change".

I doubt there will be a Sunrise event.

This just in!! I found out that the Summertime Open may not be on May 31 - June 1st. It appears there is some type of scheduling conflict with LA County. Stay tuned as the TD is out of town for a few weeks.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm interested to know because there is an A-tier in AZ that same week (May 31-June 1) and if there is no SoCal event that weekend I will consider playing it. I will stay tuned.

I know Sunrise looks unlikely...I'm just hopeful because it's one of the most fun events on the schedule and it would be a shame to lose it. If there is anything I can do to help make it happen (short of being the TD) let me know.

Is there going to be an Eldorado tourney? I thought I saw it on the schedule a few weeks ago and now its not there. Thanks!

There is going to be a El Dorado Open, March 15-16, but there is some question as to whether or not it will be sanctioned. I think it will most likely end up being sanctioned, but El Do and SoCal need to sort some things out.

One side note: the Coyote Classic is scheduled for 10/20-21 on the SoCal site. That has to be an error unless they intend to run a Monday-Tuesday event.

Last time I spoke to this year's El Dorado TD, everything was a go for a PDGA and So Cal event.

It is unfortunate that the public ultimatum on this message board has not been retracted by the former TD of this event. This was over an honest mistake made by a hard working So Cal volunteer. (It has since been corrected with apology.)

If anyone ever has a problem with So Cal, please email, call or send me a PM. I assure you that public threats and ultimatums are not necessary to get resolution. We have fewer volunteers on the BOD doing the work this year. We will still get business done, it just won't happen instantly.


Coyote Classic still has not confirmed the 2008 dates. We put past dates on the schedule only to let folks know there will be an event, we just don't know when.

Here is proof. 2008 El Dorado Entry Form (http://socaldiscgolf.org/sub-pages/forms2008/2008eldorado.pdf)

PDGA doesn't have it listed yet though.

It does now...

Any word on when the entry form for the Sylmar Open will be posted? The event is a little more than a month away.

Sylmar???
Still waiting for registration.

Does anyone that plays Sylmar on a regular basis frequent the message board? Mabye someone could stop by the clubhouse and see what's up.

The Sylmar Open entry forms were available at Wintertime Open Pros last weekend. So Cal is waiting for the TD to submit an electronic version so we can post it to the website.

How about Summertime Open?
There are 3 people already signed up, but no registration form available..... :confused:

I heard Sylmar is three rounds in one day is that correct? If so I applaud it.

That's the spirit. I thought it should be four. But, oh well. Seeya at EIEIO :D

I have heard rumors that the Evergreen app. is up online somewhere but I can't find it. Anyone have more information?

It is available right now on the Ventura site and will be put on the So Cal site with the next update.

Reward of 2 Star discs to the person who gets my blue CE Firebird back to me. I lost it over the fence on hole 10 (I think) at the Horseshoe Lake course in El Dorado Park.

Thanks Pat. You are the man for getting it back to me. :D

I noticed there is an 08 CVS on the schedule for May 10th, does anyone know if an app is coming out anytime soon?

Tim Selinske was able to get this event approved by the parks department last week. It will be a PDGA and So Cal Series event. The entry form should be available soon. I will bring them to EIEIO if they are ready.

Awesome Suzette. Thanks for the quick response (like always).

Fun course to play last year - will it be with or without Armenian Boy Scouts? ;)

I was wondering the same thing.

The entry form is ready and should be up on the So Cal site soon. The entry forms will be available at EIEIO today.

If anyone needs the entry form, send me an email.

I asked Tim yesterday about the Boy Scouts, and he said if I said "pretty please" he might be able to get them back. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

But seriously, that park was a fun layout, and with it being a 1-day event Team Rizbee (plus a beginner?) will try to make it.

Suzette, The online entry for the GSC still has last year's information on it. I want to make sure i'm not paying for last year's tournament before I register.

It appears the Golden State site is not yet updated for 2008. I would recommend waiting until the 2008 entry form is posted on the GSC site or on the So Cal site.

Thanks Suzette. You are always super fast with the info, and I appreciate it.

Anyone going to Evergreen/Goleta from So Cal want to car pool to save gas $$$???

No single man is more quotable than Mark Twain. Here are a few more of his.

"In the real world, the right thing never happens in the right place and the right time. It is the job of journalists and historians to make it appear that it has."

and some disc players may be fond of:

"The secret of success is to make your vocation your vacation."

"A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining and wants it back the minute it begins to rain."

"Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself."

"It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them."

This last one is no fun, Cliffeeeee! :(

I am now 1/3 of the way to my goal this year of breaking Carlo Pelg's San Diego record of sanctioned events in a year. HB makes 9. The record is 27. I will have 11 by the end of this month.

Anybody know if the Summertime Open date conflict ever got resolved? (See page 1 of this thread) If that date is open, then there is another event that I would consider playing...

Summertime Open dates are 5/31 and 6/1 - printed off entry from socaldiscgolf.org site.

So then apparently the conflict must have been worked out, or they wouldn't have put the entry form up. Thanks for the quick response.

Hi Suzette...

Is Wrightwood officially canceled, or is there still a chance that it could happen?

It looks like the Sunrise Showdown may happen on the weekend of August 2nd. :)

I am still waiting to hear from Tom Bant before officially adding the event to the So Cal Series schedule.

YES!

Oh noooo! I see a conflict with the Sunrise Showdown and the Green Mountain Open in Vermont. They are both mountain courses on the same weekend. Is it possible ?
I can make the Showdown if goes Down on the Aug. 16th weekend. Just signed up for GMO Aug. 1st weekend, Oh noooooo! :confused:
I like to support local events as much as possible but cant pass up Vermont, sorry.

Wow. Just hearing that the Sunrise Showdown is back on the schedule makes my day. August 2nd is a perfect weekend because it bridges the gap between Santa Maria's July event and Pro/Am worlds. I look forward to going to Sunrise and doing better than last year. Thanks to everyone working to get it done.

Can anyone tell me where the info is for the AMs waiting list for Summertime Open. Gary said it was at socaldiscgolf.org but I can't find it anywhere. Thanks.

John, if you look up Sylmar on the course directory, Gary Sandoval's contact information is on the page. He is the TD of the event and you would be able to talk to him directly.

not sure if its just me but whenever i call he either doesnt answer or refers me to the website. i asked him yesterday about a waiting list and he just said check the website. i really wanted to play in sylmar this year but im getting such a bad vibe from gary im looking at going north instead. is this gary's first year as TD?

Looks like Gary put me in! Guess I'm on my way. Still no contact though, even to let me know I got in the tournament from the waiting list? Oh well.
