Where and how many rounds will the juniors play this year?

Juniors will be playing 2 nines at Northtown.

mixed doubles question...

on discnation.com it says that intermediate is less than 800. is that for the ladies rating? my rating is 899 (rec men - although i usually play intermediate). do we play intermediate or since my rating is above 800 to we have to play advanced?

Men and Women will follow the PDGA guidelines just as a singles event. Both players have to fit within the ratings of the divsion they are playing for the doubles event. I will have that explained better on the entry forms here very soon.

Unless one of us pick's up some guy off the street, I would think it would go by the men's rating. Very few ladies out rate their fellas (pdga rating only) LOL

Am I housing staff for TWC or womens nationals or both?

We've lowered the entry fees for the doubles event and the flyer can be found at the following link. Open is now $50. On line sign up is available at discnation.com. This will be the series finale for the TX Swing this year starting with the Victoria Open. TWC will be Sunday at the same park. So grab you man and come play with us to raise some funds for the 2011 U.S.W.D.G.C. in September in Round Rock.

http://www.dblrdgc.com/tournaments.htm

Third Coast has $300 for TWC and the pro field, as well as sending 5 or 6 golfers. We will also have at least $500 for womens nationals added cash.
We have a few more fundraisers planned in the next few months, viva la TWC!!!

Shannon will be selling some CFR discs at Victoria Open, some Glow Champion Bossess, what....maybe some Champion Katanas...

I have my partner for mixed dubs, woohoo!!!

NICE! .............very nice.....we will have PROmotion packages (some very cool stuff) for clubs to use in their fundraising efforts

Here is the link to host hotel

Tell them you are with the Texas Woman's Championships
They have 10 rooms blocked for Friday nigth for the player playing in the mixed doubles and 20 rooms blocked for Saturday night
$69 for any room

NICE! .............very nice.....we will have PROmotion packages (some very cool stuff) for clubs to use in their fundraising efforts

Vinnie once we get through this crazy swing Tiff and I will try to run a women's fundraiser in Houston and a PROmotion pack would be great. We can talk about it at Women's or pm me if it's easier. We've been working with Tristin (our 14 month old daughter) and she's got the concept of putting it in the basket, we just need to get her to throw it instead of waving it around and we'll have another junior in the numbers.

very cool..........I will reach out to you when complete

Moving closer to the swing as it cranks up this weekend in Victoria. Good luck with your event 3rd coast. To sign up for TWC or TX Mixed Doubles please go to discnation.com who is again a very big sponsor for the ladies of our sport.

Regarding the doubles events the flyer states "required". This means that if your rating is that or above then you are required to play in that division. Example-you don't have to be 970 rated to play pro, but if you are 970 then you have to. Entries are coming in and have the players list for both events up in the next few days. Northtown Park is a beautiful venue and we want to show it off to the ladies of golf. It's got 3 ponds and a creek that runs through, elevation and a awesome pavilion to house HQ.

The wrap up party for the swing will be Sat. night at Hanover's in Pflugerville, just minutes from the course. Really awesome place right in downtown with washer pits, shoes, volleyball and I'm sure we can wrangle in a basket. We'll have our own bar that goes out onto a big deck out back. Prizes and awards to be won by all, so see everbody there. Email me with any questions at ecoffey@alc-collegedale.com.

there is a new camera on the side of the pavillion that over looks the parking lot ;)..

Will Juniors play existing holes or will there be some alt holes set up? My girls would love to know which holes so they could play a practice round or two.

Think it's a combination of regular & temp holes from the front 9 mostly & the same holes we're playing.

Both players lists are updated and it's never to late to sponsor our ladies. You can sign up at Discnation.com until next Wednesday. The juniors for TWC will play a smaller layout of some of the holes and a few temps. They will play 9 at lunch and the same 9 immediately after the women's 2nd round. We will be starting early both days and I'll have the schedule posted by the weekend as well as some scorecards you can download on the Double R website. Now who's ready for some washers at Hanovers Sat. night?

I'd love to get a run through of the course before the TWC, but my spouse is rated too low for int, and no rec is offered, so ima just make a fool of myself playing the course for the first time on sunday, if that's ok.

Jennifer - I imagine many players will be playing up & or down of their division on Sat. Come & play intermediate - fees are low, course is great, & good times are there to be had by all. & who knows, you guys could light up the course & get into the cash anyway.

My 15 year old and her 14 year old friend are playing. Good chance to play the course before the tournament.

Here's the downloads for score cards for those of you practicing NTP for this weekend (Dubs & TWC). Program w/OB should be up Tuesday sometime. http://www.dblrdgc.com/ladies.htm

The scorecards only have 18 holes.

there are 3 holes a, b, and c after hole 3

there are 3 holes a, b, and c after hole 3

Latest players list for TWC is up and the Juniors<13 are the biggest division. The youths are taking over the sport and TWC is bringing them in. The players meeting on Sat is for Mixed Dubs not TWC. TWC has it's own players meeting on Sun. You can check in for both events starting on Friday at the park between 5-7 and also on Sat. and Sun. morning.

Just updated the doubles list and it is leading by 2 players-1 team. Never would of thought it. Please send me your pdga #'s if your shown without. It would save me some time.

Hi, Edman. For the TWC, if you want to go ahead and move me from rec to advanced masters on the prereg list, I'll be happy to pay the difference Sunday morning.

I can do that this evening. There will not be pro masters-Michelle and Stephanie are moving to adv. mstrs and Wendy is moving to open. Please email me any changes to coffeydiscgolf@yahoo.com and I'll get the corrected after practice tonight. Yes practice.

Thanks for the response. I emailed you yesterday, but my info was the only one not updated as far as I can tell. :( Also, I used the link on the PDGA webpage to contact you over two weeks ago, and I guess that didn't work either. :confused:

So many changes so little time. No worries still have some updates and folks to put in when I get out of this thing called work.

The weekend is finally here.
We will have everyone updated by tonight and will be at the park today from 5pm to 7 pm for sign ups.
As yah know this a fund raiser for a lil tourney we are running in Sept.We have obtained lots of really cool things with TWC logos So bring your cash.
Between raffle, entry fees and sales we hope to raise $1500.
This will be another great TWC with some new surprise ..........see everyone there!

Here's the downloads for score cards for those of you practicing NTP for this weekend (Dubs & TWC). Program w/OB should be up Tuesday sometime. http://www.dblrdgc.com/ladies.htm

Program and scorecrds are downloadable now.

Both players lists have been updated. Off work and heading to the park in few. Please see me if there are any issues or call me 512-825-0455 and I'll get it handled. I'll update the pdga numbers tonight if I don't hear from those folks.

The WTF - Women Throwing Frisbees - are thrilled to announce that we're able to sponsor lunch for all players & staff for TWC on Sunday. Free lunch for the ladies is a long time tradition that we feel needs to be continued. Thanx SOOOO much to everyone that helped make this possible. TEXAS LADIES ROCK!!! & the men that make this happen year after year are amazing individuals - thank you.

Nicole Cazares will be attending TWC on Sunday. I will sign her up Sunday morning before 8:00am.

Rick

Way to go on the Juniors!! Future of the sport and we need more of them, especially the girlies!

Great turnout!

Huge thanx to everyone that came together to make this weekend a HUGE success - amazing friends, family, & club. Proud - as always - to say I'm from ROUND ROCK.

A few people I forget to thank - 1st my brother - my friend & drinking buddy, my caddie, & my ninja. Don't know many people that will staff your event, run to the store (last minuteish) to purchase & provide lunch for over 80 people, & oh yea - carry your bag all day. Thank you Steve-O - I love you. Des - to not even have to think about dinner (both nights thank you) was such a huge help. Thanx for feeding Edman & I & our crew - mmm lasagne. & Finally (doubt it, but let's see what happens) thank you to P-Dub, the Double R Disc Golf Club & the NorthTown MUD/city of Pflugerville for an amazing venue & the YEARS of work it takes to bring a vision to reality.

This was supposed to be a "scaled down" FUNdraiser for the 2011 uswdgc. Over 80 players yesterday & almost 70 today - ladies stations, HUGE raffle, basket give aways, escorts, free lunches, on & on - nothing scaled down about this year - can't wait to see what these boyz can dream up for USWDGC in September. Thanx for coming out - can't wait til we do it again.

PS - mixed dubs - huge hit. Loved spending over 6 hours doing what I love with the man I love more than life. thanx for all you do Edman - I love you.

Thank You LaLa, it was Great to see you back on the lead card and in the money! Big ups to all that helped make this event such a huge success. The men of discgolf really enjoy and look forward to this event!! Congrats to Edman and V for exceeding expectations once again. Thanks to all the clubs that supported TWC with merch, staff and support. There are so many to thank, and it's best to not name names lest someone gets left out. You know who you are, and your help is what makes this such a HUGE SUCCESS!!! Harrell with his raffle mojo wins the basket and then goes Noble Gesture and donates to WTF for more fundraising...Hero!

inquiring minds would like to see round ratings for the short box divisions....

Thank you!

you'll have to wait for the official results. no propogators in the int and rec divisions for unofficial ratings

you'll have to wait for the official results. no propogators in the int and rec divisions for unofficial ratings

As someone who played AM and got handed generously inflated round ratings, I have to say I think the int and rec divisions got short changed on round ratings. I mean, seriously, the layouts were exactly the same except for two tees, where the longs were less than 100 feet further away from the pin than the shorts. Yet, an AM's 90 in round 1 got a 794, while an int player's 90 in round 1 got a 686. Similarly, an AM's 93 in round 1 got a 771, while an int player's 93 in round 1 got a 658.

The PDGA estimates that 10 rating points equals about 1 throw. But is it reasonable to think that those two slightly longer tees made a difference of 11 throws per round? I don't think so.

So, you int and rec players, don't think we didn't see what you did there. Good rounds! Keep 'em coming!

Ratings are just a bunch of numbers that don't mean squat at the end of the day. Kinda like something that just measures a certain dangle we gals just don't have. ;)

Playing big events with lots of ladies, that's what's fun and keeps the girls coming back. Hope to meet you sometime soon, Jennifer!

trying to remember the layout from dubs... let's see...
hole 1's short tee took off a stroke from the long box along with 7, 9, 11, any more??? can't remember, but 12's short box didn't mean anything...

so that's 4 strokes, at least, that a "perfect game" would have dropped.

a long tee score of 90 and short tee 90 should have a 4 stroke difference... 40 points or so?

I understand everyones fustration with ratings...........not the easiest thing to figure in your head......but ask chuck and he has always got an answer that will comfuse you more....but he know best.
I think its 8 rating points to a stroke...............I will say this and have been faced with this in the past int / rec usually play a different course the the other divisions, that makes for no rating setters in those divisions for the different course.My best advice is if ratings are something you are tracking then play where the rating setters are

Pros and advanced only played longs on holes 1 and 12 on Sunday. So that would be one stroke difference. I distinctly remember because my card accidentally played one of the other long tees and an official warned us not to play any longs except 1 and 12. I thought we'd have to take a penalty for playing the hole wrong, but he said we didn't have to. I strategically chose not to appeal that ruling. :)

Ratings add fun factor to me, and I do pay attention to propagators per layout for that reason. The only time it usually matters is at ladies events, where Int rated players can't even generate ratings. I'm playing up again at the USWDGC in September partly for that reason. It's not such an issue at other events, because most of the rec men's field and all of the int rated men can propagate ratings.

Let's just get more ladies out playing and that problem will fix itself.

Not sure what boxes all cards actually played or what boxes someone told you to play, or what holes you remember having long tees or not; but the score card says Int/Rec played short holes & short boxes were marked for holes 1, 7, 9, 11, 12. 18 was planned as a long hole for Pro & Ad, but was changed game day to have us all play the same basket & that information was posted @ the tee box.

Over all there were 5 tee boxes that differed between the two groups adding about 750 ft to the Pro/Adv vs Int Rec. Short boxes on 7, 9, & 11 were definately stroke savers - saw peeps on my card take a couple of strokes to get to the short tee both rounds. Hole 1 - atleast a stroke. 12 - that's mental, not distance. Still feel it saved Rec/Int players a stroke or 2 not to mention a disc or ten. So that mentally adds up to about 7 strokes saved by short tees (not assuming an OB shot on 12 if you played the long tee).

Moving up in September @ USWDGC? - the Gold Rock is a great place to cut your teeth.

It looks like the round ratings for int and rec were changed.
