Justin Landers 3 4 3 3 5 2 3 4 3 5 5 5 3 6 3 3 3 4 67 -1

Weather Update: It is <U>ridiculously</U> nice out. If you're out there and not loving it today, there is something wrong with you.

So Brinster takes a 3 on 888, then a 7 on 17. I realize my 912-rated sorry self has played that hole 74 times in the last 12 months, but if your rating is over 1000, how do you NOT get in that circle of hay bales?

do they have to re-tee on 7 if they don't make it? Drop zone?

He must've not thrown the spike hyzer /clipart/crazy.gif

[*****] Mccoy had a hell of round going minus a few BLUNDERS.. Landers GOOD shootin.

17 they have to keep teeing. I think 1 guys last year almost emptied his bag.

If it's like last year, you retee up to two times if you don't get in the hay bale circle, then proceed to the drop zone which is maybe 80 feet away for your 7th throw.

ay. thanks Chuck. did they use to have to keep re-teeing?

Yes, but taking a 17 on 17 was considered too extreme and they changed it. It makes sense since most people won't carry 10 Comets or Rocs for 17 holes just in case they need them...

Johansen, good play for round 1!!!!! keep it up and I will wear my lucky sombrero on Sunday!

Overall, are the rules essentially the same as last year or did the dreaded 'throw and distance' for OB everywhere get invoked?

Average rating at event is 984 with Barry highest at 1037 and one player under 900, Zeph Carrigg at 875. Second lowest is at 920.

After 15 scores, the preliminary SSA is 69.4. I believe last year it averaged about 69.0. I expect it to end up a little lower than 69.0 this year for good weather rounds.

Chuck, the rules are essentially the same. At least in the qualifier there was no mention of stroke and distance.

What did DJ Botte eat for breakfast today?

The round ratings I calculated from the spreadsheet at the event last year were: 68.2, 68.8, 69.4, 67.6 Avg=68.5

Sounds like only holes 10 and 11 are somewhat different and maybe tougher?

McCoy beat McCabe and McQuay, so with McDaniel, McRee, and McCray still on the course, it looks like Kevin has the early line on that special McLowScore Happy Meal!

Rodney, here's an opportunity to see about variances in course ratings during different times of the day. Looks like 30% chance for rain tomorrow. See you this weekend.

What did DJ Booty eat for breakfast today?

oops ... how did I do that?

Changes:
Hole 2 - A fairly significant big tree fell in a storm and is now gone. In its place is a 15-foot wide hay-bale bunker which may stop some rollers. I'm don't think it's OB if you happen to end up in the bunker.

Hole 3 - I think the rope is just a tad tighter.

Hole 7 - Fence is a foot higher.

Hole 10 - The tee is more difficult, but the OB is less severe. Should play harder than last year.

Hole 11 - Well-publicized changes to fairway. I think it's easier to stay IB, but harder for short-arms to get to the "green" in 4. Also, the rope on the green is tighter to the pin. Overall, I expect it to play easier.

Hole 15 - I think the rope is not quite as tight.

By the way, there are new sleeves, only 10 or 15 feet from the baskets, on many of the holes. I don't know if they are going to be used. Also, as an added nice touch, every single basket on the Gold Course was replaced with a brand spankin' new DISCatcher.

Do they regroup by score after this round or do they stay in the same group and "flip" the teetimes?

the only play 1 round per day. so tomorrow will be grouped by Highest scores teeing off early in the AM.

Chris, I'm a bit surprised by that. I just assumed it was the other way, with the early risers today getting the late start tomorrow.

Danny, there was a picture of the Clown's Mouth up last year, but I can't find the link in the archives. I have some at home. If I remember, I'll send you one.

James, CWare is right. Unlike ball golf, you only have 1 day to set your place in the field.

That's ball golf style.

if I remember from last year the highest score tee'd the earlest. IE. Chris Lee. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

They only do that in ball golf because there's a cut to Saturday. For fairness, I think players should be with their scoring peers as soon as possible if there isn't a cut.

140? Did this guy get hurt?

Ryan Renz - Ga - 62

Great shooting Ryan. Kepp up the smooth play.

He does have the nickers on, right?!

Ryan Renz - Ga - 62

Great shooting Ryan. Kepp up the smooth play.

He does have the knickers on, right?!

Ryan Renz - Ga - 62

Great shooting Ryan. Keep up the smooth play.

He does have the knickers on, right?!

My computer is screwy. Sorry.

Tony

140 is par 4 on every hole, so I'm guessing he didn't show.

Ryan rocks! Is Ryan wearing the knickers AND blue mohawk? Go to www.discgolfatlanta.com (http://www.discgolfatlanta.com) (see Hotlanta 2003 pics)

Atlanta crew is on the way to cheer you on the dogs!

Action!

I thought it was 56 by Hammock last year.

I heard someone shot 57 in practice.....

CAM-58

So is 888 still 888ft? I know it will be for the weekend, but due to a police training the hole was redesigned. Does anyone know if its still 888?

Greg Williams told me he had a simple putt for 3 on it today.

-m

Brian cheeseburger shot 57 in practice.

http://www.usdgc.com/mass_scores/round1.php

yes in the winter 2003 magazine Hammock carded -12 56

No, hole 888 is much easier I circle 4ed it. It will be back to normal on Sat, the Rock Hill police are training in the parking lot,

Danny, I had frosted flakes for breakfast./msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

What happened to Carlo?

It has on the schedule that they watched the 2002 video last night. Is this available to the public yet?

Yeah, I thought Carlo had a good run at it. he would have been my sleeper pick

Not sure about carlo......

Awesome weather today, hardly any wind, sunny and getting warmer.

Rock on Booty... How are you posting on the board?
Keep it up.

Mmmmm Frosted Flakes

Beln, do you have your two way?

GO TEJAS!

only 2 2's on 13.(micah and Gawler) so far . any other holes that only 1 or 2 people have gotten?

Go Worm.

Ron shot a -7

Hole 13 is 432 feet, downhill, but over OB most of the way. In answer to your question, I don't see any birdies on hole 11 yet.

I smell controversy with Garnett, his score isn't up yet, but the rest of his card was long ago.

Seewhere, get on messenger.

uh oh..

thanks for the hole description Rodney

Has anyone besides me noticed that Booty does well at tournaments when his wife stays home?

[*****] women!!

hey rodney how do they seat the ties. by best score on 18?

Any video?

MS

What's the deal with hole 11? Looks like the worst scores are coming from that one.

Are there any course descriptions for the way the course(s) is/are during the tourney? Looking at Mike Young and a 4 others who carded 3s on hole 10. Just curious.

Mike Randolph shoots -8

Shhhhhhh......, can you hear that..........,it's my rating gettin' a little better./msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

B, I do but it only works when I am outside. I got your message but I cannot send messages out in the room. Your bro should do just as good. Mathew shootin a 66! Rookie!

ah! hole 11 is 1200ft. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Brian, DO NOT GET ME IN TROUBLE!

Martin, course map...

http://www.usdgc.com/modules.php?name=News&amp;file=article&amp;sid=4

LOL..

Just stating the facts. Besides, Jen is coming over tonight, she won't miss ya.

Keep up the good work. Go schick!

It looks like a good day to be throwing Discraft.

Seewhere, I have no idea how they order the ties for tomorrow's groups.

[*****], Nodland shoots a -4 with a 6 on the last hole.

Here's a list of the 40 States &amp; 6 Other Countries Being represented this week. The #'s are the # of players from that state/country. I think this is acurate, i'm not very good at stats. If i missed someone I apologize.

Best of luck to all!

the 10:40 am card shot very well. -5, -4, -4, -2

The Show Group is in.

Anthon = 63
McDaniel = 64
Nodland = 64
Heeren = 66

Their ratings, respectively, are 1018, 1013, 1013, 1000. On a course like the Gold Course (where 1 stroke equals a little over 5 points), this predicts that Anthon would win the group by 1 over McDaniel and Nodland, with Heeren another 2 strokes back. Man, Chuck and Roger are smart. Of course, SSA is playing around 68 today, so they each actually shot a couple strokes better than expected.

I must not correct the spelling. But he spelled my state wrong. Don't do it Chris. I must.

Treat her good, she likes cuddle though.

I kaint spall eether...

Virginia

can i have my C now?

Georgia!!! Nice shooting Ryan, Jonathan, Dan, Cam, and good luck Pete May and all the other GA BOYS!

any word on Jim Garnett ??? still no score?

looking at all these scores is making me want to go play some golf!!!

Thanks Charlie. I would say I feel better now but I really am sick. The only thing keeping me from going home is the score updates. Wait a minute, my internet is faster at home. Later.

66, pretty good Adam!

Charlie, maybe a sign shop wasn't such a great career choice then. Heyhowdy from Yadkinville.

oooooo better look again Chris, me thinks you misspelled my name....

hello Dr Jamie, my sign software has spallchacker.
hows the billy goat golf?

Nolan shoots -2 .. our TEXAS REP dave Nesbitt shoots 16 OUCH !!

Did you like that Charley? It was for you and Arkansas.

My buddy LL just posted a good score. If he plays with Kevvy tomorrow, it might hit the fan.

anyone know what happened to Jim Garnett?????

Billy goat golf course is alive and well. Two back surgeries in September have me doing nothing but putting right now though. I'll be in Rock Hill Satiday. Maybe we'll catch you there.

What was par on that round????

ok chris, point out the rest of my mistakes, that way everyone will know what a nitwit i am. Course most already know. I always thought it was Arkunsaw &amp; Fergeenya.

68

Charley, I used to live in Varina, Va. Here it is Va-ri-na but there it is Va-ree-na. Who really knows what is right anymore? But I do know that I live in Virginny.

Bummer about the back Jamie, i havent played hardly at all this year, wont be able to make it down this year,
Remember my 14 year old sheperd,
he died yesterday, so im gonna bury him saturday and then spend the rest of the weekend with my family.

Tell all them Yadkinville Yankers i says Howdy

I didn't make it. Last minute conflict.

Stevie and Ron together again. Oh boy. I don't remember seeing fireworks on the schedule.

Looks like only one double digit hole score so far and it's on 11. You know you're in trouble when your hole score is higher than what a No Show player gets on the hole.

yes Virginny, there is a Santa Claus!

that [*****] Jim will you get to play tomorrow?

Hey, at least Nez 'birdied' 17 from the Drop Zone 80 feet away /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

68 is par... 18 holes... 18 holes * 4/hole = 72... 68 72=140 for the no-shows

Little Rookie Matt Orum with a 66!

I have special powers. Walt and Larry stayed at my house last weekend and we played Halo until we couldn't stand it. They finished #1 &amp; #2 in the Old Dominion Showdown. Moser stayed at my house before going down to Rockhill. We played Halo until I said "no mas". If he wins, people will need reservations to stay at my house.

Love that game!! Cant wait till the new version comes out! Have you tried Splinter Cell?

Matt Orem, met him at the southern national finals, WOW nuf said

Leyva rocks the course! great shooting you no-putting dude - gonna have to change the name /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Everyone who shot below 63 had a 2 on hole 1. Everyone who shot below 65 had a 2 on hole 17 and even all 65s 2'd it except Young.

Rodney, after seeing the Finn tear it up, I was wondering: What is the biggest difference (upwards only) between a player's rating and one of their USDGC rounds?

I would guess Zeph Carrigg with an 875 rating shooting a 71 today for a 986 rating.

climo is in with -9

and he missed 17

Thanks, after looking at his history, that's an odd piece of data. However, hats off to those who step it up at that level of competition.

what's up with Climo's 5 on 13? Looks like most took a 3 on it. A 3 on that hole would have him in the lead by a stroke. Is it surrounded by OB? I saw a duece on it by only three people: Scott Renz, Micah Dorius, and Brayn Grawler.

About 300 to clear the OB, then you have to land it precisely in an area in order to avoid another possible OB near the green. I saw him 2 it last year. I'm sure he toke a circle or 2 to get the 5

-m

Craig Leyva- Way to shoot! You tore up the course today!

Lowe

my boy Justin Jernigan shot a 70 today.....everyone keep in mind that this kid is 17 and qualified for this by winning the Dogwood Crosstown in Advanced.....this was his first PDGA tournament...his score was good enough to qualify during the pro weekend. Now, the pro weekend had lots of rain and winds that made the conditions horriable, so many people did not think he deserved the spot.....well beating 90 some odd ppl shure sounds like he deserves to be there...

He also carded a 4 on number 5.....impressive stuff

If you go for it on 13 and come up short in OB, a 5 is the most likely score since you have to retee and are not likely to go for it again. Even if you want to go for it, it's a very tricky shot to land close 400 feet a way on a crosshill slant that tracks a righty hyzer.

Interesting group tomorrow with Moser, Randolph Rico and Russell...

Frosted Flakes for me for now on!

I would love to follow that second group tomorrow...

I don't think you'll see any of the drama you guys seem to want on that card.

nick are you in rock hill? i needs me a caddy for the next round.

63 in practice, 75 when it counts!!! Moooooob! Adam and Nolan doing well for TX. Go boys!!!!!!

Things you won't see on the highlight reel.

weds. practice round. Steve Brinster takes a 3 on hole 5. 1050 ft hole on a penninsula.

Weds. practice round. Ben "DJ Booty" Botte loses not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 discs in the same tree along with 2 water bottles, a stick and what we believe to be a rock.

Ryan Renz will not be wearing knickers.

Pete May will be wearing a Hamburgler costume.

Shortest hole on the course #17 may have given the most trouble today. There were alot of people struggling here.

Todd Briner likes homemade icecream, especially the strawberry.

/msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

Thanks for the updates Rick

It blows not to be at the USDGC this year! For anyone who has never been, well worth it!
Thanks for the insider info Rick. It's nice to know Ben is playing his usual game. At least he hasn't emptied hs whole bag into the lake (yet).

Nice 1st Round Ohio Boys

KEEP TEARIN IT UP TEAM DISCRAFT (Hi Timmy and Nina)

Anyone know if the Web cam will be up at all this weekend??? At least then I could watch Ben's first drives hit the ground or ricochet into the trees /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

LETS GO TEXAS !!!

wow Larry and Walt are pairewd together and Todd and Avery together...

I wonder if they've ever played together?

Alright, the next batch of photos are up. I apologize for the delays, but I've had family to tend to.

Oh, BTW, Tony Ellis grabbed the ace pot (that is, if he was in it) when he crashed chails on hole 7 (the lattice hole). This paid anywhere from $500-1300.

Not a bad first day, ehh?

Here are my Thursday afternoon photos.

http://www.usdgc.com/gallery/thursday_afternoon/

I will hopefully have my thursday morning, mid morning, and early afternoon galleries to add in there, including the players meeting gallery...

lots of work to do....

Are you kidding me..........Now ya'll know why I left her ***** at home.......Women are Evil.

It's gonna be rough morning for team Ohio tomorrow morning, rumors of heavy beer drinking tonight and the inevitable hang overs are awaiting them in the AM. Midtown Sundries is a pretty fun place to shoot some pool and and play deer hunter. The Blonde Bommer was lookin like he was going to be plain' tommorow with a black eye but narrowly escaped unscathed. After showin' off his trick skills at Deer Hunter to a local R'neck. wshooo....

Craig Leyva took a 4 on the quarter miler, #11.

Tony Ellis $700 Ace! Thats VA's claim to fame, as Tony shot a 73 and Ronnie shot a 71, they got a little work to do.

And Watch out for the dis-placed VA boy Mike Moser who is sittin' in the second group.

MS

Does anyone have the full results from 1999? I'm especially trying to find out who the top 50 finishers were. If you do would you please send them to me at playdiscgolf@usa.com.

Lowe

Where can I find a list of the State reps?

Check the media section guys, I put up 5, count em FIVE galleries from yesterday's action and the player's meeting. Enjoy!

Use that DSL!

http://www.usdgc.com

Great pictures. After looking at all of the pictures, take a look at pictures # 0170 &amp; 0302, from the afternoon round.
Looks like a foot fault on both of them should have been called.

Robert J. Leonard posted,in part:

"this was his first PDGA tournament"

Despite the link to the USDGC on the PDGA homepage, this is not a PDGA tournament. As a normal rule, invitationals, unless they are for a PDGA national or world title, are not eligible for PDGA sanctioning.

Anyone from the peanut gallery confirm this? I seem to recall past posts from Harold when some posters were moaning about something he was doing, and he said that he strived to line up with PDGA guidelines whenever possible, despite this not being a PDGA-sanctioned tournament.

Here's food for thought:

Since the website is promoting a non-PDGA event, do the organizers of the Southern Nationals next year have any right to expect similar treatment?

Does Joe Blow running a non-sanctioned mini expect that same treatment?

Has the PDGA set a precendent that it should not have set?

This is in NO WAY smack talking about Harold Duvall and the USDGC. I have the highest regard for Harold and this tournament. It's just unfortunate that this tournament could not be PDGA-sanctioned, so it would be easier to justify using the website of the PDGA, which is supported greatly by PDGA-registered players, and entry fees from PDGA tournaments.

I'm not out of line for bringing this up, am I?
After all, I AM a DGRZ.

Bill, you may want to look at Robert's post again. He was stating that the Dogwood Crosstown was Justin's first PDGA tournament and he won Advanced. That was how he qualified for USDGC.

Bill,

If I am not mistaken...I believe that The Masters in Ball Golf is not a PGA Sanctioned event yet they help in its promotion. I think it just betters the PDGA as a whole to help with a nice large Tournament.

Why would there need to be sanctioning for this tournament? For points? Ratings? Money list? Not trying to be a smrtazz or anything just curios why there is a need for it to be sanctioned.

Bill, you are mistaken. Invitationals are absolutely permitted to be PDGA Sanctioned and PDGA points are provided for them.

I know this because I am running one. The MADC Invitational. You simply need to get approval from the Competition Director.

These invitationals are currently rare, but they are not outside the interests or the bounds of PDGA sanctioning. A sanctioning fee is assessed, $2 per player is assessed, PDGA insurance is optioned, and in many cases PDGA points are offered. Majors, invitational or not, usually (if not always) do not award PDGA points.

The USDGC is a Sanctioned PDGA Major Event.

Hope this has clarified the situation for you.

Best Regards,
Nick Kight

The USDGC is a PDGA Major Event. This is the first year a structured agreement is in place between the PDGA and the USDGC organizing committee.

Scores are coming in!

The MDGO ran a sanctioned invitational Finals this year. I don't know whether we got approval from anyone!

Texas v North Dakota - the bet that spans the Great Plains.

Looks like a great match-up - only 2 strokes apart - and a bet that may go to the wire. (I assume Nolan is Texas' top guy after day one). Last night was league night at ZBoAZ and I have every confidence that you ZBoaz folks reminded BB (last 3 digits 747) of his bet and the fact that I'm here in cyberspace and ready to pay up or collect. Also, I do get to DFW from time to time - so we can settle by mail or in person.

Go NOLAN!

Wow, Des shot a 68. Nice round.

Brad, I think the Masters is PGA and the US Open is the one that is not PGA, but rather USGA. I didn't look it up or anything, just going on my hazy memory.

Rhett, I wouldn't expect to see the drama actually explode on card 2, but I would love to see how they handle it ... as we all know, your mental focus means everything in golf.

yeah defently said that his first PDGA was dogwood crosstown...

yeah all three Majors in golf are not run by the PGA..

during the Masters, U.S. Open, and British Open as well, there are PGA tournaments held...

man it felt funny typing PGA w/out that D in there...

does the course stay the same from round to round?

great shooting, Des!

The PGA does host a major, the PGA Championship. The Masters is run by Augusta National Golf Club, the US Open is run by the USGA, and the Open Championship (British) is run by the Royal and Ancient.

Anything on Carlo?

Quite a difference for Des, going from 80 to 68! Great shooting!

Juliana shot 2 strokes better than yesterday and is now behind Des. I'm rooting for a tie between those two when it's all over. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Go Leyva get your put on. Sounds like Georgia is good for your game.

I'd put my money on SR in street fight and money on RR in dg match. Would truly be entertaining either way.

Thats much better Hero Le'ts get rid of those 7s.

just scatter shooting

ce

Brinster 60....Smokin...

come on Schick.... nice round Cuson...Hope Booty is shootin it up..

Just to add to the confusion. There's a difference between the PGA and the PGA Tour. They are not the same. The PGA Tour run no majors.

Is 888 back to normal today? Sure looks like it. I still see a couple of 3's though, crazy.

I see that Brinster, Haney, Leyva and one of our brothers from across the pond are in the finals for the distance contest. I sure hope that makes it into someone's video.

Brinster's first round was pretty far off of his player rating going into the event.

Gill, Dorius, and Sprague the consistant players that they are, shot their rating exactly the first round.

Barry was 23 points off his rating and still within striking distance.

Rico, Climo and Russell near the top without shooting much better than their rating 1st round. Schweb also.

i'm bored at work, playing with excel /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

No way can it be back to normal. Those scores are way to low. I expect to see a few 9's and 10's at least once it goes back.

Curious ... does anyone know how close they are keeping to the actual tee times? I'm also wondering if the 10 minutes is proving to be enough time to keep seperation between groups or if there is a wait on any holes?

cb i agree w/ bs, scores on 888 still too low

sorry if this is a stupid question, but is the course the same today as yesterday? an awful lot of folks are chopping serious numbers off of yesterdays scores!

Should be the exact same course. The only hole expected to change was 888, but don't believe it has. That's just the way this course plays. One day luck could be on your side, and the next day you could have the worst round of your life. This course drove me to retire in 99.

Consider yourself lucky that Brinster didn't chop another 5 to 6 stokes off a 60. He most certainly is capable.

Hats off to Jason Haas and Theo and whoever else created this tracking program. This is just too cool!

I noticed that too. But we are also only seeing the bottom finishers from yesterday's scores so far.

Considering that almost everyone there is a top player from somewhere, the people that had "bad rounds" yesterday are all more than capable of calming down and cranking up the golf a few notches. So a lot of better scores isn't really unreasonable.

How's that for rationalizing the scores that are up? /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Dr. Rick with a nice -3.

Climo ties it up on hole 1!

Check it out B!

Hole-by-hole updates for the top 8 is too sweet!

Climo tied for first after hole 1 today.

I must agree. Very nice work. This is way cool for all of us stuck at work.

Keep up the good work.

Tony Ellis ANOTHER ACE!!!! Two Aces in one Tournament!!!

He's a GOD!!!!

MS

Awesome job on the scoring!!!

Not getting much work done this afternoon

Susi, I'm going to wear a soft cast on my ankle and see if I can ace. I want to be like Tony.

how do i get LIVE scores........?

in cyberspace!

ok i get it now..........

Two aces! He must be playin' nude.

Did you forget to turn your computer ON?

is the course the EXACT same set-up (tees and pins) always?

are they playing an 8-some? scores come in all eight at a time. maybe its the three minute thing...

Who is Tommi Vesala and where is he from?

I have 5 browsers open just to follow this thing. Now I all I need is for this page to auto-refresh.

"Hi, my name is Danny and I am a Disc Golf addict."

Hi, my name is Danny and I am a Disc Golf addict.

Leyva 4'd hole 5 AGAIN!

Boom Boom Boom putt = 4

any news on the distance comp

he claims to not be able to putt, so maybe boom boom boom drop in?

Who is Tommi Vesala and where is he from? This man is playing lights out. Who is he!

Way to go JJ!!! kickin' out a 65!

I left before the distance yesterday but this was up when I got home.

http://www.usdgc.com/modules.php?name=News&amp;file=article&amp;sid=66

4-way tie at the top after 8 holes!

Tommi? Tommi?

LW

Mike Randolph making a charge.

I think Tommi is a Swede. I wonder if any of the guys just off of the radar are doing anything. Don't forget those guys are just one or two strokes back.

Did anyone notice that JJ moved under par today? Young`uns.

Randolph keep it up!

Mikey likes it!

Todd Branch in with a -10!!!

Todd Branch shoots -10. Nice!

Way to go Mr. Jernigan. You might be 17 but in this sport you deserve to be called Mister. May I carry your bag sir?

5 Branch, Todd 11795 1007 68 1001 58

talk about calming and and playing hot on the second day...

Brandon -

I can not remember a previous instance where we've moved pins. I do not think that it is wise.

Hole #12 (888) is being played from a temporary position. Rock Hill's finest are training in that area and we did not want to distract them and vice versa. 888 should be open for business and looking to create some drama tomorrow and Sunday. We didn't want folks leaving Rock Hill without the chance to conquer this challenge.

Take care,


Harold

hat trick for randolph!!!

kenny's coming back!

Tommi Vesala is a talented Finn. He is one of the top discgolfers in the Nordic region.

Holy crap! Tannock -10!!!!

Dean Tannock 2 3 2 3 4 2 3 3 3 3 6 4 3 5 4 3 2 3 58 -10

He birdied 9 out of the first 10 holes!

Tony says it's the Caddy.

MY BOY JUSTIN JERNIGAN SHOT A -3 TODAY!!

I CAN'T SAY THIS ENOUGH...HE IS 17!!

Ken Climo all alone in 1st!

Barry will probably shoot -11 today to move back into contention.

Nolan with a -6. Sweet!

Nolan Grider -6 go Hoondie.

double post Danny! shouldn't you be at the course for a certain roc throwing challenge w/ DJ

ce

I am trying to tear myself away for it. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

why arent you getting in on this Roc thing, CE?

USDGC crew...you guys got everything else smokin, how bout a payout?

Through the first 11 holes, at least one player has birdied Each hole. They say this course is hard...... sheesh.

A couple of Texas Boys in the Clubhouse with -6's!!!

Nice Job Landers and Grider!!!

Way to pick things up My-Hero!!!!

Things may get interesting with the weather. Where I sit (20 miles north), it is getting darker and the breeze is slowly picking up. It has been beautiful and calm all day (although cold for the early tee times - 45F).

Any weather report from Rock Hill?

climo -7 with 6 to go... smellin a record?

-7 with 5 to go. Record is -12. Not too many fo for 15. We'll see.

I am sitting on the NC/SC border looking outside as it is getting dark, really quick. Hope nothing too crazy hits.

Getting the last 5 is tough. #15 is really tough to deuce. It would be cool though. My guess is he shoots -9 overall. Another 59.

The weather is looking wild. I am sitting on the NC/SC border and it got really dark, really quick. Hope nothing too crazy happens.

-8 for Barry, that should help..

Sorry about the two posts. I have way too many windows open trying to track everything. Didn't get too much done at work this afternoon.

Zeph Carrigg from Oregon, one of the 2 ZoneDriven Free Ride winners seems to have disappeared from the score boards at USDGC Round 2 and the PDGA. What happened? Did he get hurt, DNF, or DQed? Anybody know?

can't imagine how exciting this must be visually

Zeph Carrigg was a no-show. His 140 score on the first day was a courtesy par 4 while the tournament staff waited for him to arrive.

Zeph Carrigg shot a 71 ( 3) on the first day which was really hot for his 875 rating (as Chuck Kennedy pointed out earlier). I wonder why he didn't show up? What a waste!

Did Zeph Carrigg, Carlo Pelg, and Daryl Cormier all play on the same card on Day 1? If so, was there some problem with their score card that DQed them all? All 3 are now shown as DNF on Day 1 when Carrigg had already had a 71 reported as of Fri morning.

Carlo did not go. He is at home in San Diego.

wooo! talk about lighting up 16 &amp; 17!

climo gets 4 of the last 5 to finish at week's best -11!

way to hang leyva - keep it up!

Wow ... that was fun! Props to Theo, Jason, Steve, and everyone else that helped bring the live scoring to us geeks sitting in front of our computers all day. Too bad I won't be anywhere near a computer tomorrow.

What ,Carlo didn't go. Wonder why?

Hey, Danny Sch... I was thinking the same thing and volunteered to work this weekend. just kidding

Wow! Des shot a 1002 rated round today.

/msgboard/images/clipart/sad.gif

It said 1002 a couple of minutes ago.

shot 1550 photos today (not including the ones I am going to shoot at the player party)

My finger is tired.

Will have lots more photos for you folks tomorrow AM. I tracked the top 13 groups a few holes each, so there's a lot of photos on a lot of holes left to go.

Enjoy the ones from yesterday, there are a lot more to come.

Okay, its time for the comeback of the century....watch out now!!! Reason why im not there donny is because i moved into a new place and had to put forth all the dinero i had to get in... although discraft did pay my way i have some other issues to settle with my other so called sponser Fly18, who let me down in a real big mannor. anyways good luck to all my buddies at US open. wish i were there but, hey maybe ill qualify sometime next year ....TBC!

Has anyone elsed noticed that Craig Leyvas score is totaled incorrectly????? I've counted it 5 times and I get -4 not -3

Theres actually a variance between PDGA scores and USDGC on hole # 11 the pdga has a 5 usdgc has 4????

Chris Sprague ACED hole 3 today!!!!!!
Woo-hooo!!!!!!!!! /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Great round Chris! 61 (with a circle 7)!!! HOT SHOOTIN!

DES - NICE ROUND!!! /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Leyva is a TEXAN! The Cali's and Bulldogs owe us rent.

Nolan, quit chili dippin' and shoot a 55.

Big kharma to Leyviar and lip neck Landers.

Actually, Mr. Leyva is from Cal. but was here in Arlington, Tex. when Veterans Park went in in '90 and was our top player for many years after winning the inaugural VPO in '91. He'll always be thought of as one of ours.
The current ADGA club champion is Nolan Grider who'll be defending his VPO crown in three weeks.
John Maiuro is our club pro and we're very proud of him also.
Also deserving mention here is long time ADGA member Brian Mace.
GGGGGOOOOOOOO!!!!ADGA
P.S.
Yall come down to see us some time.

OOPs, my bad. John Maiuro is our current club champ having knocked Nolan off the throne in a playoff this year. Sorry John.

Interesting in the difference in SSA between yesterday and today. Players that shot the exact same score today and yesterday got different ratings, as much as 10 points difference!
