We are asking that you please Pre Register online with Dynamic Discs to receive your players pack. This makes it much easier to keep track of players signed up as well.

And remember that we are capping at 90 but players pack to the first 75.

please note that players packs will be supplied for #75-#90 - they just won't be as large of a value

these are FREE High Quality Items players packs provided through sponsorship by the City of Greenwood - available to Pros and Ams - nothing taken from entry/payout for them!!

Pre-Reg!! - Fill this thing Up - and Next Year can be even bigger, we have a City Government wanting to have a high quality disc golf event, they are incredibly supportive of this sport :D

hell no!! we made sure to not schedule on the Fall Festival

I remember trying to focus on shots with the Paper Shredder screaming and grinding and the sound of country music karaoke going on

The funniest thing was Hinds walking into the festival with an open beer in his hand and walks up to a cop and asks him if it's ok to drink beer in the park, talk about luck - cop says No and tells him to throw it away - I'd been under the jail for that one :D

Oct 22 2010, 02:07 PM
WHAT!!! We can't drink! AUGHH!

You have to admit that old tractor driving thru the park the whole time pulling that trailer was pretty cool. Those people had no clue what was going on! Any wagers on weather I can put a disc in that building again? That was a shot (well two shots) that I won't forget, the first in the building...the second from inside the building!!!

evandmckee
Oct 22 2010, 03:21 PM
I thought that building was OB - you misplayed the course :eek:

send back all winnings immediately and contact the PDGA to drop your rating by another 20 points :p

Tommy Eddy played off of the roof on that thing last week - beautiful skip to park the hole :)

I'm looking forward to this - thanks Eads for stepping up to run this - I get to play a local event for a change :D

I asked around about motels in Greenwood, per the parks director - there really isn't one

I'd suggest anywhere on I-540 or hwy 71 south more or less in Ft. Smith and plan on a 15 to 20 minute drive to the course

No EVAN usually has them up by now. Evan usually has them up before you get home.:D

But hard to pick on them when you'll be hard pressed to find anything about the players cup other than one bracket. No losers brackets, to see who played who, or match details on any of them. They promoted this in a HUGE way but now leave it hanging as just another C tier that doesn't care after the event.:cool:

the wafda thread said something to the likings of: Eads had issues loading scores saturday night, Evan didn't hear his phone, Eads had commitments on Sunday and work today, and the two of them will most likely collaborate to get them posted this evening.

i shot 53 - 50. that's all that's important.

Scores were uploaded last night - Eads did them, just needed a lil help since it was his first time to upload

Check out German Benavides - won intermediate and would of came in 2nd in Open

in his defense, this is his 2nd event, won rec at HOTB, moved up and won Int. at Battle, watch out Adv. field

lots of crazy swings in scores and ratings!!

I want to thank all the Tulsa boys for coming down and showing their support for their fellow neighbors. We will always support you as you have done for us. Thank you again and be on the look out for next year.

Hey maybe all those Players Cup Players will want to come to the 3rd annual Battle at Bell Park next year instead as we treat B tiers like A tiers in Arkansas =)

was on his card second round. no run-ups, just stands still and side-arms it. parked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and made it look effortless! was a lot of fun to watch!
