It's a long shot, but then again I like it that way. :cool:

In laws creeping in on us soon, time is of the essence.

Hey, I was the 1,000 reply on this thread. Don't I win something for that? :D

Hey, I was the 1,000 reply on this thread. Don't I win something for that? :D



Yup, we'll hold your prize ticket at "Will Call" until today at 3:15p.m. Best get a move on. :D

Will you do me a favor and pick it up for me? Thanks! :D

You got it friend of mine. I'll need your SSN....... /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

........will be at Horizons Park this Wednesday the 9th. Come on out and join us. Since I'll be there, no golf at Ramcat this week.

Wednesday afternoon at Ramcat this week, 23 May.

Anything going down at Yadkinville on Saturday May 26? Going to check of Jefferson's course and plan on stoppin at Yadkin and Horizons on the way home. Anything Crackin?

I will have a few greensboroians checkin out the course for the first time if anyone wants to throw. See ya June 2nd regardless.

Nothing formal going on Saturday Tyson, but there should be plenty of folks on the course. All pins are in the positions they will be in for the morning round of the YST next Saturday. Hook up with some locals and they can show you where alternate pin positions will be for the second round, or at least the possibilities. :D Who all's coming with you?

It will be Me, my buddy TJ Fowler (will be playing YST) and Doug Cline (may play YST). We should be there sometime after lunch, say 2ish.

Thanks,

Tyson

Played the course late Sat. (about 4:30 tee time). Looked and played great. It was two of my friends first experience out there. Pins were tough, I played Hickory's Saturday monthly earlier in the day, so worn out is an understatment. Anyways I love Yadkin and would like to say that you guys are doing a great job with new benches and all. Shot a 62, in fact we all shot 62s. Hopefully I can lose a few stokes between today and Saturday. Hickory was a great course as well, as it was the first time I had played there (it was longest the course had ever been set up).

Yadkinville is the place to be this weekend. :)

First Sunday Singles, 3 June 07, 2:00 'mon out, hooooahhhh :cool:

is there something going on in the morning there?

Talked to Dan a bit ago and I think the weather is forcing a rescheduling of the Y'ville edition of the travelling road show. First Sunday Singles here a Ramcat this afternoon, but it is unlikely this old man will leave the dry comfort of the carport and soft coozy around the beverage of my choice. :cool:

Actually had a pretty good turnout of the carport crowd, some mini-golf, a couple of beverages and even a partial round after the rain stopped late afternoon.

Back to the Disco for the Wednesday festivities this week. :cool:

Just to get a jump on it, and more to write it down before it slips out of my pea brain, next Wednesday 13th traditional RC and CD afternoon, will meet at Johnson Street in High Point and commune with the Oak Hollow brethren for the PRDT. Somebody needs to roust out the rarely seen Jake L. for this one. :cool:

Hey you! Me and Dave are gonna try real hard to make it Wed; will you be there? I need some homegrown fun! Not quite used to this singles thing yet and I need my fiXXXXX!!! High Point is in our sights and as long as this ole gal can take it still: I will be there-show me some home GroWn fun! I am SO readY for iT! LOve You GuYs!!!

Definitely will be in High Point for the Johnson Street for the PRD Thang. Gots to wander in the concrete jungle while I'm over that way too. :cool:

I'm ready for the fun to begin! My first PRD "Thang"

Bring it y'all, look forward to seeing you yadkins in the city!

Anyone make it to High Point? Rain? Storms? Nothing? Never a drop at the ridge. :( Lightning, thunder all around us, but everything went down the river. Again.

It rained a bit and we had a late start-up; but a decent show! Quite a few of us showed and had a great time. I was partnered with tatersack -12! He played great and I got a few birdie drives in myself (ALMOST got ctp for hole #2)!

Good deal. Glad y'all got it safely in. Ended up having a fun and productive afternoon. Disc dying demo for Stack, and a dry late round at the ridge. Would have bet anything it would have been buckets and bullfrogs at Johnson Street. Good round for y'all. Did that win it?

Looking east yesterday evening from the top of the mountain was incredible! I thought for sure all you guys were getting dumped on. The clouds looked like an A bomb went off. Big ol mushroom looking clouds!

Good shootin Naomi!

It sure came down pretty good before we started but it passed over pretty quickly. Riverdog I wish I could remember the scores but I mostly just remember having a Great time! :) Sounds like you and Stank had a ball! I have a very personal message for Stack from Moondog when I see him again- hee hee

And the "good time" part is what makes the score insignificant - although a lower score does seem to accentuate good times. Good for you girl. Keep those thirty footers dropping.

I'll pass the message along from Tracey. Should Stack dress formally or casually? :D Moondoggy walking out of a Burlington Bojangles at seven in the morning with a chicken biscuit in one hand and pulling an open beer out of his shorts pocket with the other is one of those hilarious mental images that just burns itself into your brain. :cool:

BTW, wish y'all could make the run to Richmond Hill with us tomorrow. We'll be thinking about you. :cool:

For all that missed the run, which is most of you, a new standard for roadtrips has been set. Played the new Richmond Hill layout in Asheville yesterday with Senator Glenn, Eddie Snody and the Stankster. Everything about it was as good as it gets. Sometime before fall we will be getting another group together to go back down. Do yourself a favor and don't miss it. Very, very cool course - challenging lines, elevation, best teeboxes I've run across, cool tee signs burned into locust wood posts, treated timber steps to help us old geezers climb the steepest steeps, literally tons of mulch carpetting all fairways and trails, and so on, and so on, and so on....... James Nichols and the whole Asheville bunch, and there obviously had to be a bunch, should be justifiably proud of what they have built there. And not just the physical labor either, the jumping through legal/administrative hoops to get the course back in the ground as quickly as they did. BTW, if you whine about the climbing at Ramcat and Cranberry Disco you will probably not want to reserve a seat for the next trip over there. The uphills are not necessarily as relentless as they are on Ramcat's back nine because they are layed out such that a steep climb is usually followed by a lesser climb, downhill or cross slope, but they will get your attention. Killer course boys and girls. Spread the word. :cool:

I hope I can make the next trip to Asheville with you guys!

What's going on tomorrow (Wed.)?

Supposed to be back at the Disco this week, but haven't heard from Stack for confirmation. I'll post here when I know for sure. :cool:

Piedmont this Thursday in Hickraw

........Cranberry Disco it is for Wednesday. :cool:

And don't forget the PRDT at Glenn C. in Hickraw on Thursday. :D

Gonna wear my new shoes at the DISCO tomorrow!

New shoes are cool, but they gotta have some flash if you are going to wear them at the Disco. :D

Dedication of new course in Statesville tomorrow, and dedication of new course in Reidsville on Friday!

Awesome Matt, I love hearing of new courses in our area...I will be at the Ribbon Cutting in Reidsville on Friday at 10am. Do you know any others looking for a 1st Round? Also I know someone from Innova helped with the design of Reidsville, but do you know who? And designer for Statesville? Reidsville is 20 miles from my house, so if anyone in Cyber Space wants to throw, start a club there, run weekly events, let me know and I will do as much as I can to help...Thanks for any info you know Matt, AND GOOD LUCK AT THE KCWO, my pops lives in KC and the courses are extra sweet!!! Thanks again.

Russell Schwarz designed Reidsville, and Russell with help from Neal Lanier designed Statesville.

Russell is the one who brought us Albemarle, which if you haven't played it, you should!!

Russell should be at both ceremonies. Not sure when Statesville's is.

Thanks Matt. Good Luck.

Dedication of new course in Statesville tomorrow, and dedication of new course in Reidsville on Friday!



Very cool. Have you got contact info for Statesville? :cool:

It's at location B on this map.

map (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=l&hl=en&q=parks+recreation&near=Statesville ,+NC&ie=UTF8&ll=35.801839,-80.847273&spn=0.03049,0.069609&t=h&z=14&om=1)

But it's a little tricky. The upper 9 is at the Disposal Plant Road entrance, and the lower (front) 9 are at the Soccer complex, which is over by James Way, Northeast of the B location on the map.

My guess is the dedication would be at the Soccer complex as that's the more public section of the park.

Lower 9 is mostly wide open, with 3 holes that traverse wooded areas, while the back 9 is more challenging, with elevation, more foliage, and much tighter fairways. Tricky greens and some beautiful drives make this a cool course. Holes 15, 16, and 18 are particularly awesome.

Mui bien gracias, Matthew. I'll alert the troops. :cool:

Just a little update on your local female discgolfher: I am in the White Mountains region of New Hampshire and me and my eldest son (Newbie) started our disc golf tour today starting with a course in Waterbury, Vermont and I have got to say so far this is definately the cleanest course (other than ours of course) that i have ever played. Met a fellow d-golfer named Ian Pray that was an excellent ambassador for us out of townie's! He was only able to play 14 holes but then OMG a girl named Christine (yeah ; a girl) and her littlen played the rest of the course with us! What a great course; just a shame that the local county will not let the club help maintain with mowing and such but other than that a VERY well designed course IMO! Very friendly folk!

Oh I forgot to tell ya: my son threw a few side arms today that were about 350" no I am not lying! And it was his first time playing (well at least in the local soccer field! He's a natural I tell ya! Landed in the tennis courts!! lol

Sounds like a great trip. Keep us posted. Awful pretty up there. I've done a lot of cycling in New England - Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire - but no golfing. Enjoy! :cool:

Yes the weather has been just BEAUTIFUL but alas the rain be movin in tomorrow! Played a course in Ossipee, NH today (Steven Tyler's hometown BTW) Terrace Pines and it was a great beginners course. My son and me (he is new) played from the blue tees I scored a 56 and he a 57! I liked the course although they did not have regulation? teepads so there was no runup at all! I extended my thanks and all as it was a very nice course other than that. I think my son is thoroughly HOOKED! Now it is downtime for both of us as I will be spending time w/my grandaughter (3) for the next couple of days! Can't wait to see all you great guy's when I get back!

Ramcat Wednesday.... nuff said. :cool:

BTW riverdog; the Terrapin Mini you had on Wednesday was just the coolest I have ever seen!!!! I am laughing as this is being typed!

Yup, he probably exceeded PDGA approved diameter for a mini and certainly exceeded the weight and mobility standards, but he was willing and available. :cool::D

First Sunday Singles will be held at Yadkin County Park Sunday 1st July. Frannie and I will be out of town. I'm slipping into "Caitie's wedding" mode one weekend earlier than I had hoped to. See y'all in August. :cool:

Gonna be a free form day of disc golf at the Disco for the Fourth of July. No set itinerary. Singles, doubles, match play, duck pins, cage matches, Texas grudge matches, whatever......... Come when you can. Bring your own beverages, maybe some chips or salsa, possibly a pretzel, tater salat....... and Stack will be grilling dogs before dark with incendiary devices sponsored by Bear dark thirty. See you there. :cool:

ba bump, bump :cool:

Hope ya'll had a good 4th celebration.

Spread the word about this weekend!
Saturday July 7th Borden Park Deuce - A - Thon, Kingsport Tn.
Sunday July 8th Winged Deer Park, Johnson City Tn.


Borden is a beginners course, absolutely pitch and putt. We may play 18 holes take a break and then play 36 straight holes. It is such a short course with shade about everywhere that taking long breaks between rounds is unnecessary.

Winged Deer has expanded to 18 holes and is still rough around the edges. The format has changed and there will be only two rounds (36 holes) played. The final nine for top 4 in each division has been eliminated.

Note limit of 72 players at each event.
What else do you have to do?

For the Yadkinians that haven't played it Borden is a little "Horizonesque" but with a couple of holes on the back nine that are much more challenging than anything at Horizons. Lots of fun to be had. And if you like the attitude of the folks you play with in Yadkinville you are going to enjoy the Kingsport boys as well. Senator John Glenn's home town with cousins and family in the bushes and woods everywhere. :cool: Well worth the drive.

Senator John Glenn's home town with cousins



Sold!!! That dude was raised right!

Piedmont Dubs this Wed. at Yadkin Park, right?

Is the following Wed. at Ramcat?

Yup, PRDT Y'ville this Wednesday, 11th July.
PRDT Ramcat next Wednesday, 18th July.

Since Jamie was unable to attend this evenings Piedmont Random Draw Doubles Tour at Yadkin Park, I'll do my best to remember what happened and share the memories.

Weather was nice, a little breezy at first, but we all calmed down. 32 peeps in the house, $140+ up for grabs in the ACEPOOL!

Congratulations to Bear and Kevin who shot the hot round at -10!

I think Shane and Aaron took 2nd. at -9.

Then there was a 3 way tie (I think) amongst abunch of us. Wizard and I were mighty happy to be in that group. :cool:

Unfortunately NO ACES, but fortunately it'll carry over into next weeks event at RAMCAT! Easy $160+ at the RIDGE!

Looking forward to another one! See you soon Jamie!

The PRDT will be at Ramcat on this Wednesday the 18th of July. Player meeting 5:45 and tee 6:00. Try to be early. We are always pushing dark thirty getting around the circuit. PM Riverdog if you need directions, or call the house after six in the evening 336-468-8081. :cool:

for those interested, I will be doing a blog on our local site for worlds.

check out the link in my signature to read!

Sorry I won't be making it this year the MAN has got me busy and need this weekend to dominate the AM's in Casheville

We'll miss you. Wassup in Casheville?

Wassup in Casheville?

Charity doubles tournament benefiting the Make a Wish Foundation. Loads of prizes!

Unlike BS, I am the man, so I will be there with my umbrella!

Good, good times. Thanks for coming guys. Final PRDT at Ramcat and The Senator and Jeremy Locke smoked it up with a -9 even carrying a double bogey five....... on their first hole. Killer round JG/JL!!! Several first timers at Ramcat. Come on back the 9th of September for the HGT event. Oh yeah, TaterSak and Matt King put up an 8 down, with two single bogeys. Good golf, good times. :cool::cool::cool:

Wednesday afternoon dubs on track at the Disco if you aren't making the run to T'town and Plank Road edition of the PRDT. :cool:

Got Caitie-did married and off to Jamaica. Now lets get some golfing going on at Ramcat Wednesday boys and girl. :cool:

Congratulations Jamie! Hope it all went well! The relief you must be feeling. AAAAAHHHHHHH!

Hope to see you soon.

Thanks Todd. All went well. :cool:

First Sunday Singles this Sunday the 5th. You going to make it?

No way man, we'll be on the river. You going to make it?

I'm on call. Won't make the river. Will make FSS. :cool:

Hi Jamie and Todd! Reached the short position on hole 8 today with my new footwork from the teepad!!! Ben and Bryant spent some time with me yesterday and I am SLOWLY starting to get it

Atta girl!!! Keep it up. :cool:

First Sunday Singles at Ramcat this Sunday, August 5th, 2:00 p.m. Come see us. :cool:

I'll be there with family in toe. Any significant others intersted in visiting the wine country? I'm hoping to keep Jonah on the course with us; that boys gotta learn sometime...might as well be at RamCat! :)

See yuns in the monin!

I'll pass the vineyard tour idea along to all POSSLQ's I come in contact with between now and then. Looking forward to it Marionette.

Fifteen hardy and sweaty and wrung out souls for FSS with Big Ben showing us the way with a -1, Matthew at even and Mole at +2.

Back to the Disco for this Wednesday's dance. Something a little different this time with a one disc challenge. That'll lighten the load a little for the forecast 98 degrees. See y'all Wednesday at the Disco. :cool:

You guys are crazy! 98 degrees!!! :eek: Ya know, a nice club house with A/C and a fridge (always well stocked of course) would be a nice addition to the bottom of the RIDGE. :D :DCount me in!

Looking forward to the much COOLER Homegrown weather this Sept.!!!!! :cool:

Actually ended up being 100 degrees in Jonesville. You missed a hardcore afternoon. Ben, Stank, Dave, myself and John for part of the afternoon. One disc challenge dubs with everyone staying around par and with very close attention paid to maintaining hydration status. Good time had by all. :cool:

Back to Ramcat Ridge this week. :cool:

Wednesday afternoon back to Stank's Cranberry Flavored Disco this week. :cool:

Ramcat this week. Beeeeeeeeee there.

Hey Jamie,

What is the tourney on September 9th? You probably told me, but my memory is shot.

Singles/Doubles, cost, time? Directions. PM me.

I am trying to round up some troops, expect at least 4 of us from Greensboro.

Thanks,

Tyson

Good morning Tyson. Nice to meet you at OHO. Y'all come on over.

Sunday, 9th September
Registration starts 8:30 or 9:00, Players meeting 10:00, 1st tee 10:30 SHARP, two rounds singles, Pro and Pro Masters $20, Adv, Adv Master, Intmd, Am Master, Women $15

I'll post accurate directions when I measure them. Bring breadcrumbs, a compass and GPS. Redundancy is good. Redundancy is good. :D

Ramcat directions - Travelling 421N take Windsor Road, Exit 267 about 3/4 mile west of I-77 (if travelling I-77 exit toward North Wilkesboro on 421N), take a right at Windsor Road exit (north), 200 yards to left on old 421, 100 yards to right on Cheek Road, two miles on Cheek Road to a right on Rena Road, one mile on Rena to a left on Fletch Road, take Fletch to the end of pavement at a culdesac, straight out end of culdesac onto gravel drive, Stay on the main driveway for one mile ending at Ramcat, all possible turns off the drive are marked with a disc-on-a-stick with an arrow directing you appropriately. :cool: If you get lost, turned around or otherwise displaced in time and space pray to whatever god you pray to....... or call 336-468-8081. :D

.......and if at any point you hear banjo music abandon your vehicle and run. ;)

:D But don't forget your discs!

Naomi, are you or any other women expected to play in the Homegrown event? I'm trying to get Wendy out there, but it's unlikely. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Jennifer Palmer from HP/T'ville as well as the usual female suspects from over east. Hopefully a lot of them will make the drive. There've been upwards of a dozen women folk at past HGT's. Tell her to come on. Worst case scenario is Frannie, some shade and a bottle, or three, of wine. :D

a bottle, or three, of wine.


If I can pull Wendy down there I think she would prefer sharing three bottles of wine w/ Frannie over playing anyways. :D If it were doubles then I think she'd be up for it.

Still highly unlikely though, she has to cordinate a few hundred people through the Local but state-wide River Cleanup (Big Sweep) the day before. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

First Sunday Singles this Sunday the 2nd of September, 2:00 p.m. for those not making the trip to Hickory. Got's a surprise for the faithful. Stank, Ben and deboyz dumbfounded me yesterday with a presentation of Star and Champ discs complete with Ramcat Ridge's first logo stamp. They are gorgeous! Hard to imagine, but I was speechless. Thanks so much! The best people in the world play disc golf. :cool: We'll be using them for CTP's and such as well as being for sale as long as they last. :cool:

I wish I could make it to some homegrowns Todd; but the work schedule is vicious! Will be at Y-ville fri evening though. Can't wait to see your new discs Jamie, I bet they are sweet! By the way I am definately getting more distance now and not just b-cause everything is in the shorts either : ) I crested the hill on 5 several times this week ! I also had one of my discs land in someones lap that was sitting in the fairway on 10. You should have seen the confused look on the guys face! I yelled fore as loud as I could 3X and then gave it a good heave! lol

Sweeeeeeeet Jamie! You better save me one or two! Better yet, I'm going to win me one of those collectors edition discs at the Homegrown! :D PosiToddthinking! :) :cool:

Naomi, Quit your job and play more disc golf! :D :eek: :D Maybe not the best advice, but a **** good one. :D:) :cool:

Atta girl Naomi. Good D!!! Wish you could make the Homegrown. Always a big old time. Have you not ever been to one? If that's the case I'm afraid I'll have to agree with Todd. :D

Did a couple of trial dyes on some used Star plastic last night with something special in mind for the Ramcat stamped discs. It's a work in progress but is pretty cool. Less is more, less is more....... aye Mikey? Hard to break my life time pattern of "test to failure". /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D

Yes; I came to that same realization a long time ago and finally have decided to leave job situation when the oppurtunity presents itself (know what I mean)?

BTW, I have never been able to make it to a homegrown-maybe next year it will be a different story

Fun time at the ridge this afternoon. Weather was indellible. I think 18 souls. Shane took pro with an even par 54 (which is really a one down with 18 being a legitimate par four in todays configuration), Kevin second in pro at 55 and I think Ben 3rd (?) at 57. This dawg took Amish with a 56 (after starting 5,4,4) still working off the buzz you guys gave me with the Ramcat discs on Wednesday. Good times, good times. :cool::cool::cool:

Disco this Wednesday. Stack has also graciously opened up his place for camping Saturday night before Sunday's Homegrown at Ramcat. Looking forward to it. :cool:

Might be down for that if peeps from raleigh don't come over

Good deal. I'd like to see you get another swing at Disco #3. :D

hopefully with some forward progress. Looking forward to seeing the changes out there. Is it still 9 or 18? Will there be some golf played there Sat.? Ramcat Sat and 2 Sunday is too much for my legs.

There'll be golf at both places under no particular schedule. Stack's is still nine. Waiting for cooler weather and leaves to get off the trees to better see lines and such. Already has the baskets, just waiting for chainsaw weather. See you this weekend if not before. :cool:

Took the chainsaw to the old picnic table this afternoon and fashioned benches for #12 and #15 from the remains. Even had time to haul them down there before hard dark. The ridge is dry as powder but awful pretty right now. See y'all at Stacks tomorrow and here Sunday. :cool:

.....won't make any difference to anyone but me, but it's #12 and #16....... :D ....I think... :p .....pretty sure... awwww hayell, I'm not sure where I was... /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Still not sure if I'll be able to make it down on Sat./Stacks Disco, but how about having an organized round of doubles that evening? $5 entry, etc.? May help bring more people together. :cool:

Looking forward to hanging on the RIDGE on Sunday! :)

Early arrivals will be strung out between Ramcat and the Disco on Saturday. Be a bit difficult to organize. Folks are welcome at both places. It'll be kind of like a "Progressive Dinner" except with only two golf courses, no schedule and no meal until Sunday noon. :D:cool:

Bumping the directions -

Ramcat directions - Travelling 421N take Windsor Road, Exit 267 about 3/4 mile west of I-77 (if travelling I-77 exit toward North Wilkesboro on 421N), take a right at Windsor Road exit (north), 200 yards to left on old 421, 100 yards to right on Cheek Road, two miles on Cheek Road to a right on Rena Road, one mile on Rena to a left on Fletch Road, take Fletch to the end of pavement at a culdesac, straight out end of culdesac onto gravel drive, Stay on the main driveway for one mile ending at Ramcat, all possible turns off the drive are marked with a disc-on-a-stick with an arrow directing you appropriately. If you get lost, turned around or otherwise displaced in time and space pray to whatever god you pray to....... or call 336-468-8081.

See you guys on Sunday! :)

Looking forward to it Brother Todd. One last try for persuading Wendy - I just finished the trophies, they're useable and I'd love to have one. Worst case scenario, she's stuck on the ridge with a crowd of the best folks in the world. Sunday it is. :cool:

Note to Wendy: If you don't make it we'll most definitely understand. I've done the river cleanup before, tiring, tiring day, but very satisfying.... and somewhat stinky. With the exception of a couple of big dogs, the ridge smells pretty good. :D

Plus she gets to see the REALNESS. Jamie looks like we will be headn to Stack for the evening. Need directions brotha. PM or here I may call

Whoooaaaaaaaa....... Best day ever on the ridge. More at eleven. Back to you Dave......... :cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

:) :cool:I believe there was a COOL 66 people Ramcattin it up and then down again, and back up. :D That was a RAMCAT RECORD!! Thanks Jamie and Fran for hosting us, and Chuckster and da boyz for all their hardwork with the HOME GROWN TOUR! :cool: Always a lot a FUN! :) RAMCAT IS TRULY A DISC GOLF EXPERIENCE! :cool::)

2nd
Always a good time on the Ridge. Thanks Jamie and Fran.
Tell Stack thanks for me and that I really like the changes. Next year I'll be by the creek (gun or no gun)

Thanks BS and T. It was a blast wasn't it. I'll post more detailed results either when I remember them or when Chuck posts them. :D But these are the some of the things I do recall - Ben Porter with a smoking -5 the first round took Advanced, Tong Ron Advanced Master to KevMo's second AdvMaster, Ron's absolutely sick CTP's on both #12 and #18, PosiTodd's Ace on #8, Shane Stevens Ace on the tree position of #14 making him the only person to ace both pin positions on #14, Pro Open Chris Howard (I think), ProMaster Ant Gale (great first time at the Cat Ant)....... And some old bagger guy won Am Master over a crowd of other old guys. :D

As always scoring, awards and the whole day in general went smooth as silk under the capable leadership of Chuck. Great job Chuck!!! And thanks to everyone with the kind remarks about the course and everyone who made it such a good day by being there. Can hardly wait until next year. And just a tease....... You can get a different taste of Yadkin County golf next April when the tour will be on the peaceful wooded hills above Cranberry Creek at the Disco. :cool:

Back to Ramcat this Wednesday afternoon for those of you that didn't get enough yesterday :D:cool:

Lost and found:

Kevin Gleason - Black Aviar
Slaytown white mini

tatersak, lost a white pro stafire on hole three. It was a slight anhy that mustve grazed off a tree and disapperared under some leaves or flew way down the hill??? we looked for 5 minutes and then i reteed. white w/ nc disc golf seriers, Oak hollow stamp on her. beat perfectly in, missing it already.

Hey Timmy. I'll make a point of checking on that side of #3 tomorrow. If anyone runs into Kevin Gleason I've got his black Aviar also. Plus someone turned in a white Slaytown acrylic mini made by Keith Sanders from Durham. I'll keep my eyes skinned for others that haven't been found yet as I'm looking for the one I lost on #4 Wednesday, the Star BB I joked about being dyed in my Ramcat Fall Camo Series. One throw and gone.

the Star BB I joked about being dyed in my Ramcat Fall Camo Series. One throw and gone.

That is a beautiful disc! You did a great job! You'll eventually find it, and all the other ones out there under cover. Ramcat has its ways of being a very special place in mysterious ways. ;)

I got my autographed JA Ramcat Teebird on the wall. Priceless. :cool:

:oThanks Todd. Wish I could get up to help y'all tomorrow. On call and hanging close to the pups. Probably a walk around the course sans discs enjoying the aroma of moist woods. Rain gauge reads to about five and a half inches and it has already run over the top. Driveway is rough, but most definitely not dusty. :D

Just spent three hours or so on #3 and #4 hunting discs. Found your Oak Hollow SF in the first ten minutes about 120' below #3's pin. Rest of the time was in fruitless search for my dyed BB. Ah well, it'll either turn up or it won't. I'm on call but will do my best to catch Y'ville Sunday dubs at 2:00 tomorrow if any Hollow one's make it over. Later TaterSak. :D

Went back down piddling and looking for another 45 minutes or so, finally said the heck with it, started walking out and found the dyed Star BB not 20 feet below the last place we saw it. I'm convinced it had been hiding from me and I just happened to catch it out in the open moving to another spot. Tricky little devils. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :cool:

Belated congrats, from me at least, to a lot of folks on the HGT event at Ramcat last Sunday. So much going on, other than the winners, I had no idea where folks finished. Spencer, Shane, Jeremy, BS congrats to you all for strong rounds. And Jimmy Markov, congrats on the really good showing in the face of a lot of discomfort. PosiTodd and KevMo, great rounds and second place finishes. Todd your time as the "bride" is gonna happen, and soon, then it's PosiPro for you..... Just a big old time.

And Chuckster, once again an impeccably run, smooth event. Thank you.

:) I can't tell if I'm getting better, or just getting luckier. :D

Either way, my confidence is building! ;)

Almost made it out for doubles yesterday at Yadkin Park, with Wendy! Fortunately, Unfortunately, we started our day out off the parkway observing the Hawk migration. :cool: Had so much fun there, no way to leave. Saw over a hundred birds! Be out there again on Wed with the Audubon High Country Chapter. :cool:

Cool beans on the hawk migration. Haven't done that in any formal way in years. Used to do the Mahogany Rock turnout on the parkway and one year we were at the top of Dolly Sods in WV for the Audubon survey. That one was pretty cool. Mist nets set out in the rhodo catching migrating songbirds and tagging them for release. Pretty fair bet I'll be watching migrators Wednesday afternoon too.... and pulling a trigger on 'em. :D Found a very active field yesterday afternoon on the way home from dubs and another one this morning on the way in to the clinic.

Disco dancing this week moderated by Ben Bob Porter. :cool:

Jamie, Mohogany rock! That's where we were!

Have you ever shot a disc? Pull. :D

Yup, just set your lawn lounger out, cooler between you and your partner, binocs on your chest and gaze skyward. All in all a fine way to spend a fall day in the mountains. We need to do the hike up to the old cable tower area on the east side of the parkway. Pretty sweet little walk, especially in the spring. Fall ought to be good too. :D:cool: Some of the snakeroot I have here on the ridge is from seeds I collected on that walk. :cool:And the Air Bellows off-parkway loop......

Too long a story but remind me to tell you about the old whamo I shot for "Red". :cool:

Jamie,
i deleted my post becasue i answered my own question as soon as i posted it. thanks for the details on our thread. so it is going to be another 1 day event? that kinda stinks i saw that it filled last year which is great and looked like it was a 1 dayer in 2005. but just my 2 cents and i understand i am the minority here but i am only coming to this event for 1 reason and 1 reason only it is 100 point N.C. Amatuer Points Series Playoff Event. now don't hate on me i love the course but it is a long drive from the beach to support your tournament and until i see just 1 person from yadkinville register and play in the Azalea Tournament in my town (B tier that fills every year) i would appreciate no grief on why i am coming to the touney. i love the course it is great but plain and simple it is a long way to drive and sucks it is just one day and done. if i am coming that far it would be nice to have at least a 3 round event. not to mention it is a play off event and 2 rounds just does not seem adequatet to me. no big deal jsut wanted to throw it out there Yadkinville is Sweeeet and deserves better than a 1 day tournament we already had that earlier in the year. lets really put peoples skills to the test and have a fulltournament here.

The www.ncdiscgolf.com (http://www.ncdiscgolf.com) has it listed as a 2 day event.

I personally don't want to travel 2 hours for a one day event.

this is also a NC playoff event. I would hope that a playoff event would be 2 days.

It looks like it will be....Todd sanctioned it as a 2 day event

http://www.pdga.com/schedule/event.php?TournID=7108

word is MTL they are going to do a 1 day Pro/Adv. tounrey and a one day INT. tounrnament. with some kind of cash game over at ram cat the other day the Pro/Adv. are not playing??? i have no idea how Adv. am's can play a cash game and if this is a one day event i will have to say BOOOOOOOO

Take no offense here because I'd like to see you all there, but if you don't like the way the locals have decided to run their event, don't go. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Let's all hope for a 2 day event, but be happy with a 1 day event. :) I just hate hearing folks bummed about things before they even happen. And yes, I understand that you are all wishing thinking, but easy now, we're all trying! Yadkinville DGC deserves better. ;) I hope to see you all there! :cool:

Just interesting to see the regional perspective. Around here, driving 4 hours is common for our mostly one day events with Pro/Adv on one day and other ams the second day. Much tougher to get players to a 2-day event except the few special ones, mostly A-tiers.

Todd,
if you don't like the format don't come is not a very positive statement.

wanting a two day event is a compliment b/c that shows that players would rather play more golf on the course.

Chuck,
i just don't think a one day event truley test a golfers game on any given course.

Around here which is WI/MN/IL, the events got so big that the TDs split the fields with an event each day to handle everyone on one course. I think economics also entered into it with no more than one night lodging required for those coming from more than 2-3 hours away since the cost benefit of 3 or 4 rounds plus the time killed doesn't justify one or two nights lodging. Not me talking, it's been from surveys and feedback to TDs they've gotten regarding preferences. I think I posted a U.S. map showing the stark difference in 1 vs 2 day events in different areas. NC/VA was close to even on the number of 1 & 2 day events compared to here where it's 95% one day per division but 2 days for the TD.

I to hope it is a 2-day event I dont like 1-day events.

growing up in N.C. and only playing in N.C. i guess i have become accustomed to big events automatically being 2 day events. i guess if you ask most traveling players here in N.C. it is not worth the expense at all of wear and tear on the automobile gas and lodging leaving work on friday driving all night paying for a hotel or crashing at a freinds house then getting up playing 2 rounds of golf and then driving 2 to 4 hours home. i guess in my opinion if i am going to all that trouble i would like to stay the whole weekend especially if i like the course which is the case with this clubs course. yadkinville is awesome. as to accomodate more people i see the point and don't really have a retort

Back to the ridge for Wednesday afternoon round this week. :cool:

Todd,
if you don't like the format don't come is not a very positive statement.

at most, HONEST.

I'd also like to see Yadkin Open a two day event (and it was last year), but if that's not the way it is, all I'm saying is respect that. Or, run the Tournament yourself! I don't like seeing any TD giving a hard time, it simply just isn't cool. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

That's your decision/choice, problem, and opinion. Sounds like a good one though. :D Maybe you should discuss this further with whoever voted on making Yadkinville a playoff event.

There are 90+ other people playing in the Yadkin Open this year, and most of us can't or don't care enough to play 20+ tournaments a year and compete for such an honorable award like the NC Points Championship. Most of us play in just a few events that are either close to home and/or we enjoy! Whether we like it or not, PDGA events aren't always fair. And again, nobodies forcing you to do anything you don't want to do. :eek: ;)

Design your own happiness! :) How's that for some PosiToddvibes! ;)

I wish YOU ALL the best, and I hope to see YOU ALL there! :)

I am confused...Are we talking about the Yadkinville Open being a one day event?

It is listed on the PDGA tour page and on the NC Disc Golf web page as a 2 day event.

well the state games were once listed as a pro - am.....

:D I'm talking about the Yadkin Open this Nov. Other then that, I have no idea what I'm talking about. :D Let's hope all this 1 day gossip is just a bad rumor, but be happy either way! ;)

Todd,

I don't want to rain on anybody's parade but there are some real issues here.

1 - it is listed as and sanctioned with the PDGA as a 2 day event
2 - it is listed and has been for most of the year at www.ncdiscgolf.com (http://www.ncdiscgolf.com) as a 2 day event
3 - the TD agreed to be a 2 day event and to be on the NC Point Series

If that has changed then it would have been appropriate for the TD to contact the NC Points Series Committee.

For those of us that have spent a good portion of the year playing in most if not all of the NC Series events it really isn't fair to tell us that all of a sudden one of the 3 playoff events has now been reduced to a one day event.

If this is now a one day event the TD needs to contact me ASAP and let me know this so that we (the NC Point Series Committee) can consider our options.

100% on point...

Todd,

If this is now a one day event I am not happy and a lot of other people are not going to be happy either!!!

Including the TD!!!

Kirk

I'm sure Jamie will get on here and clear all this confusion up. All I know is what I read on this forum, and it appeared that Dave mentioned a change? Am I not correct there?

Hey Dave. Followed your sig over here. Got an e-mail notification of new posting on Yadkin Open, but site won't let me through for some reason. YO is 10-11 November with Pro/Adv one day and Ams the other. Ben Porter TD for our Spring thing and Todd Gillihan are co-TD's for this one. Not sure when they'll start listing regs, but will find out as well as trying to get a flyer posted. I'm almost certain Pro's and Advs will be at Ramcat on Saturday for a one round cash event, not certain of format for that one with Ben ramrodding. Should be fun and potentially profitable without getting you worn out with two Ramcat rounds and still having practice time in Y'ville. I think the main reason they wanted to split the field into two days and two rounds was to allow maximum fields without having to resort to auxiliary holes. Hopefully I've confused you as much about it as I am.

The above paragraph is from the New Hanover thread I think last Thursday. That's all I knew then and being the slow study that I am it's all I know now. Talked to Ben yesterday briefly and told him there was some potential consternation over one versus two day. He said, Todd G. is the official TD and it's his call. Covered up Monday. later on. Jamie :cool:

Well there you have it, 2 days of golf! :cool:
Thanks for passing along the message Jamie.

at most, HONEST.

I don't like seeing any TD giving a hard time, it simply just isn't cool. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif


who in the world is giving the TD a hard time Todd? you can use all the emoticons you want but it isn't changing a thing. i have not said anything negative on here at all all i have said is i expected this tounament to be a 2 day event on the yadkinville course period.

Well there you have it, 2 days of golf! :cool:
Thanks for passing along the message Jamie.


only 1 emoticon todd come on man you can do better than that

:D ;) :D/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :cool: Dave, you said a few things that bothered me at the time. Just the way I see it, obviously we're not all going to agree on everything here. You're alright dude, it's a discussion. ;) I also should of known better then to get on here and voice MY non pdga opinion too. Lesson learned again, this ain't no fun and a complete waste of time. I really don't care enough and got better things to do, like finish a course. ;) Glad to now know the truth though. ;) :D

Hope to see you in Yadkinville bro, should be a lot of FUN! :cool: Best of luck bringing the trophy home!

Todd,
i don't even know where to begin with this one bro. Good luck getting Jefferson in the ground when it is finished i will be there and look forward to it. sorry you got your feelings hurt :Dit was not my intent

Newport News here we come

Later

Sorry for the thread hijack....


I am sorry for the last minute notice but due to circumstances beyond our control:

THE YADKIN OPEN WILL NOT BE A PART OF THE NC POINTS SERIES PLAYOFFS

IT IS BEING REPLACED WITH THE DOWN EAST PLAYERS CUP IN GREENVILLE NC.

If you are in the hunt for the trophy for your division please make arrangements to be in Greenville NC for one of the 3 final NC Points Series events.

Please feel free to contact me if you should have any questions.

Wow But I don't believe us Westsiders care to much about the series. Now back to why the Yadinettes are going to have another awesome tourney especially with Ramcat involved. Great Idear fellas. And thank you Jamie

its a shame that this great course will not be hosting a playoff event.

Good luck to all who attend this event and my best wishes for a great and successful event!!

Well maybe not quite that bad, but....... A lot of you have been aware of extensive huffing and puffing over the format, and ultimately the fate, of this years Yadkin Open scheduled for the second weekend in November. Without wading around in the pit of all that's been said back and forth I'll simply say that the YO will be played, it will not be a part of the NCDGCS, it will be formatted with Pro/Adv one day and rest of Ams the other.

Beyond that I don't have a clue. The course will be in great shape. The folks playing will be challenged. And with any luck there will be some fun had.

Twelve folks at Ramcat yesterday afternoon with YO obviously being a major center of the conversation. Bottom line, the club was not privy to any of the events and misunderstandings that led to all the bruhaha. No one is overjoyed to have all this happen with the ultimate reflection coming back to a great course and a truly great bunch of guys who have spent at lot of time and effort to simply have a good, challenging place to play golf on.... and occasionally invite 80 or 90 of our best friends to play on with us. When all was said and done, last cold beer consumed and dark thirty rolled around, there were probably twelve differing opinions on the whole thing... but I think I can truthfully say all those opinions were exchanged civilly and without hard feelings between us. And THAT's why I'm proud to be a part of Yadkin County disc golf (cue up "America the Beautiful")....... All kidding aside I mean every word of that. :cool:

Some killer golf played yesterday afternoon as well. The team of Senator Glenn and Big Air waxed us with a seven down, no bogey round, Bear and I threw a three down which included my first ace on #8, Ben and Stank threw a two down on the strength of a smoking back nine, Eddie Snody fresh off of hernia surgery parked #11 with a beautiful Stingray turnover........... good times, good times.... :D

good times, good times.... :D



And that's what it's all about Buddy. Nice ace. Hope to see you foolz at Disc Roast where there isn't all this BS.

good times, good times.... :D



And that's what it's all about Buddy. Nice ace. Hope to see you foolz at Disc Roast where there it's all this BS.

Just to keep it all on the same page - Ya wanna see the back nine at the Disco? Be there Saturday morning the 20th of October bright and early. Bring your gloves, chainsaws, limb loppers, pole saws, shovels, mattocks......... Might not be a bad idea to also bring discs and mustard as there will be golf and food to follow. :D :cool:

Wish I could make it and help but it's our Ace Race and Hello Ween Glo Dubs day. Gots to support my Hickraw boyz but keep me posted so I can cut leftie FAIRways

Ju godit. I'll give you hole by hole rundown of the back nine at the CC, with Stankalanks annotation, no doubt. :cool:

Ya shoulda all been there. Fun, fun afternoon at the disco. Indellible weather. Got's to be one of the last tank top Wednesday's. And some right decent golf played. We did two rounds of random draw dubs, with Stank and I randomly paired both nine's and ending up even par for the 18. A decent showing for two old farts. Gotta confess though. Old fart team of McGee/Snody beat us by a stroke on the second 9. :D

A killer First Sunday Singles, at least for one of us. Brock threw a -6....... with a five on his card on #1, and the five came when he doinked his 10 foot putt for a three off the basket lip, caught an edge and rolled... a ways. He also missed another eight foot or so opportunity at a bird so he had a legitimate shot at the course record of -8 set by the inimitable Jake Lautermilch. Of course Jake had to resort to an ace, I think. :D

And Mike Samuels took the $162 ace pool with an ace on #6, a pretty S turn over the gulley and through the trees into the mouth, only the second ace on #6 and the only one to not employ terrain features (i.e. trees Big Air)(although I gotta admit to a slight redirection using a tree when I took the ctp on #10 yesterday/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif).

Wednesday afternoon round back at Ramcat this week.

Don't forget to make provisions to be at the Disco Workday Saturday the 20th of October. Daylight or thereabouts. Bring every freaking tool you own. We're going to try to knock out all the fairways in a day. :D:cool:

Jamie; are you going again the end of this month? And is there a possibility of Fran or Wendy and Todd going? It would be just too Awesome! We need more women to participate (even if it means I still wont get 1st or second place)! I will be happy with third and I will leave it at that as that is not what it is all about!

Geez; I fergot! Watch out fer them dawgs this time they are pretty dern sneaky! If I were a dog I would snap it right up

Lots going on in the area this weekend disc-wise. If you aren't headed to "the Pete" and want to contribute to a good cause, scarf a few prizes and have a big old time, be in Yadkinville at the park, tee time 1:00pm, for the Fragile X Fundraising Tournament put on by Shane Stevens. (please don't confuse this with the Triple XXX Tournament, Bryant) Lots and lots and lots of side action and contests and rewards. :cool:

.......and we just got a go ahead on the glow action tomorrow night if anyone is interested in that. :cool:

Might head that way for glow if not playn poker

Cool beans. Found one of Henry's Roc's at Ramcat. I'm on call, so if I have to leave I'll pass it off to Shane.

Very, very nice inaugural fundraising tournie for Fragile X Syndrome research. I'll post more accurate figures when I get them from Shane, but in the neighborhood of $5000 all told. Nice job Shane. You are the man! Shane worked his fanny off for this one coming up with some incredible CTP prizes and winner prizes including Panther-Colt tickets, Wake tickets, gift certificates from business' all over the area from $25 to $75. And never mind all that, the Chicken Stew afterwards was worth the price of admission all by itself. The next time you see this event showing up on the calendar, do yourself and the kids a favor and be there. Good work Shane!!! :cool:

thats awesome stuff!!!!... its things like this that make DG such a great sport!!

And this one was a labor of love largely carried out by one of them, Shane Stevens. Great guy. :cool:

Back to dancin' at the disco this Wednesday. See ya there. :cool:

Also don't forget the big old, bodacious workday this Saturday at the Disco. As I said before, bring your work gloves and every freaking tool you own and put in a satisfying day cutting in the back nine. Then we'll kick back and eat some of Mike's food. :D

Anyone that is not going to the Disc Roast in Louisberg is expected to be in Reidsville at 10am on Saturday Oct. 27 for Reidsville's first tourney. It is a doubles event and will only be 1 round. All cash payout.

Bring some good times and as many members of team fun as possible.

Questions and comments are encouraged. Call me at 336-471-3428 or pm me.

All those that are going to the Roast, have a good time!!!

Tyson

Be there. Where? Cranberry Disco. When? 9:00.am. tomorrow. Or? Band 4lyf. :D

Lots-o-work turned out Saturday. Five fairways cut in and mostly cleaned by 12 or 14 of us, all of whom will get complementary "get out of jail free" cards as a hedge against one future yellow card. You are going to be astounded and amazed by the "dark juju" side of the Disco. Peril. Peril at every turn. Take your choice, bottomless pits or watery graves. Hmmmm, "Do I run at this one or do I perish?" Bwaaaahhhhaaaaahhaahahaahaha.......

Talked with Stank, aka "The Gatekeeper", last night and he has decided to have two field holes utilizing the terrace strips to ease hole to hole transition and pin/tee congestion in the woods. YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS COURSE! :cool::cool::cool: It's got everything.... except pitch and putt. :D

On a lighter, easier note back to Ramcat for Wednesday afternoon this week. ;) /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D

For all those that were going to the Disc Roast, please come to Reidsville for 1 round of doubles...A group of us will be then heading to Barber Park for a round in the afternoon

First Sunday Singles, 2 pm, Sunday 4th November. Gonna be a beautiful day. :cool:

Beautiful afternoon for First Sunday Singles and three or four Ramcat virgins showed up for discing with the usual suspects. Low round was Brock at -3, followed by Jeremy at +1. Senator Glen took Ams with a +4. Tim Doyle made the trudge over from G'boro and managed a tie for 3rd in his first round ever at Ramcat.

Back to Ramcat for Wednesday afternoon. Remember we're burning an extra hour of daylight now. :cool:

Wow, killer round by BP and BA yesterday afternoon at Ramcat. They threw a -12, second lowest doubles score ever on the course. Very cool to watch, especially from spotter positions hidden on the fairways as I did. Lots of beautiful drives and timely putts. Now y'all just keep that up this weekend at the YO. :cool:

Back to dancin' and chasin' daylight this Wednesday. :cool:

And a new thing for the winter, First Friday Glow Doubles at the park. Details to follow. :D

That's awesome. It's a fun course to glow on.

Back to Ramcat this Wednesday.

Talked to Stack last night and seems he and Eddie, Bear and Shane were busy at the Disco this weekend assembling baskets to be hung on the DarkSide of the Disco. Going to be another killer nine holes boys and girls. :cool:

Trying to PM you, but I get "User is past his quota &amp; cannot receive new PMs". Maybe clean out your saved ones?

Thanks Ray. Just emptied Sent and Recieved. Should fly now. :cool:

And this just in. Stack says six more baskets will be in place by Wednesday and the Disco will be open for Holiday play Thursday and Friday as well. :cool:

Yadkinville Bag Tag Tourney will be held on Saturday 1st of December at 11:00 a.m. followed by a cookout. Food will be provided as well as CTP's and ace pool. All for the nominal fee of $10.00. :cool: Thanks Ben. Looking forward to it.

Wunnerful afternoon on the ridge. Perfect weather, some good golf and good folks. Rounds were -5, -4, -3, etc. with some killer putts and killer ups that went and stuck. Lots-o-fun. Big Air got yellow carded....... again, for leaving beer cans on the course ;) /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D:cool: Good times, good times....... :cool:

And don't forget:

And First Sunday Singles will be at Ramcat 2:00pm the next day, Sunday 2nd of December.

Also things are going great guns at the Cranberry Disco. Rumor has it that six baskets have been hung on the back nine. Some chainsaw fairway work still needs to be done on the remaining three holes. If you have a sharp chainsaw and a couple of hours to spare holler at Stack and he'll get you busy.

And still at the wisp in the wind stage is the next Yadkin County private course. This one is barely beyond the rumor stage, but knowing Senator Glenn it won't be long before there is metal in them there woods. John Glenn has secured permission from his landlord to put a course on 25 wooded acres at his place. If you have a basket, target or just time to donate holler at John. I'm sure he would appreciate your help. Plan now is to accept "loans" of baskets for the lifespan of this course which might be a couple of years or fifteen. Tentative name of the course? "Borrowed Time". :cool::cool::cool:

Back to the Cranberry Disco this Wednesday. Can't wait to throw the baskets hanging on the new holes. :cool:

Very nice afternoon at the Disco. Once again Mikey, thanks so much for letting us tromp around your creek bottom and hillsides. I'm pretty sure it was a yellow card free afternoon although there were some narrow points of order when a golfer or two got a little "demanding". :D I find something to enjoy in almost every flavor of golf I play - HGT, PDGA, casual - but these Wednesday afternoon rounds are the best!!! Thanks to all the boys and girls that make them possible. :cool::cool::cool:

Fine, fine weekend of discing in and around Yadkin County. All that needs to be said about the Saturday Bag Tag thingy is that Brock took the #1 tag with the next closest #2 tag of twenty seven awarded being a distant six strokes back. All others were pretenders.

Brock slept with the #1 tag overnight before passing it along to Ben on Sunday at FSS at Ramcat. The ridge was pretty rough on most everyone except Ben with way more bogeys and double bogeys awarded than birdies.

At the Massey Palace HG event The Senator took Am Master third with Mo taking Adv Master 3rd, but more importantly Mo walking off with a new Discatcher Sport for his efforts in pasting the Adv Master field week after week through 2007. Kevin immediately turned around and donated his Sport to JG for use at John's new course Borrowed Time. :cool::cool: Congrats and atta boys to KevMo.

I'll get time details tomorrow, but I'm assuming it'll start when it gets dark :D the First Friday Night of each month until time changes back next spring. To be run just like Friday Random dubs, except in the dark. :cool:

Glow Bump.

First Friday Glow starts this Friday at 7:30 and will be every "first Friday" of the month until the time changes next spring. $6 with a buck going to light sticks, and the rest to payout. No ace pool, but it would be cool to bequeath a dollar per if someone should ace. Should be a big old time. :cool:

Good, good afternoon at the ridge. Weather blew out by noon leaving nothing but blue skies for the ten of us that made it out. Jeremy/Ben threw an 8 down for low doubles round but the really big new was an ace on previously un-aced #5 by Eddie. Just a killer perfect line down the middle fading at all appropriate spots and unaided by contact with anything but air and chains. Whole lot of whooping going on. Good on ya Eddie. :cool::cool::cool:

Wow that's a Great hole to Ace. Was it a Barking ACE?

Wow that's a Great hole to Ace. Was it a Barking ACE?



Yup, batteries re-installed and barking to beat the band. We were playing in two groups, my group on #6 teepad and heard the chains slam behind us on #5 and the hollering and barking began. Mike Samuels was spotting so got to view it from just a few feet away. I've personally seen Eddie hit dead nuts chains on half a dozen occasions at de 'Cat that didn't stick. He was due. Way cool. :cool:

You headed to Two-pillow?

I wish but my parents feel that during Charleston and Tup. is the best time to visit before heading west to my brother's pad to hibernate. But atleast I'm getn some free labor. Next year definitely making Two Pillow.

Congrats to Edrow and Stank-a-lank for their -6 glow dub win and Shane and Naomi on second place.

Back to the Disco for Weds afternoon's round this week. Shoot for a 2 p.m. start.

Looks like the proprietors of the Disco and Ramcat are going to have to re-double their efforts at making their courses challenging. Ace on Ramcat #5 by Eddie Snody last Weds and an ace on the daunting Disco #5, creek hole, by Mike Samuel yesterday. Didn't see either of them, but heard the aftermath of both. Whole lot of hollerin going on. :cool:

Must be because of the missing tree on pad. That's a cool hole. Oh wait they all are.

This messes up my ICE BOWL TOUR it's the same weekend as Sav.

ITS A SAD AFFAIR

it's HARD TO HANDLE

Thread Drift: Come on out and support a local charity in High Point. Johnson Street Park will host an Ice Bowl Sunday(no football games) Jan 27 at 11am for singles and 2 for doubles. Play 1 event for $15 or both for $20 but you only receive 1 ice bowl disc. Please bring can foods as we are collecting food and funds for the Labor of Love Food Ministry at a local church. Contact me w/ ???'s at [email protected] or 336-883-3506 work, or pm me here.

Right blustery at Y'burn this afternoon. The hardy boys were out though. The team of Chuck/Brock took the team of Ben/moi after six hard fought playoff holes. Chuck sank a 50 footer in the wind while Ben and I missed our 40 footers. Lots of fun.

Back to Ramcat this Wednesday. Two'ish. :cool::cool::cool:

Here is the format for 2 rounds of Dbls at Greensboro Ice Bowl:

Two rounds of Doubles is done like this...

Seperate the turn out into 2 pools A and B by ability, randomly draw teams and play round 1.

The high scorer from Round 1 in pool A is paired with the low scorer in pool B for Round 2.

After two rounds the person that has the lowest score for both rounds wins.

Sounds confussing, but it is easy to accomplish.

A very Merry Christmas to all the Yadkin clan and the disc golf world in general. Thanks for getting me through another year with a modicum of sanity. Love to you all!!!

Back to the Disco wonderland Wednesday. Stank says open for business and slinging. :cool:

Merry Christmas Yadkinettes see yal'll next year

Casheville Ice Bowl http://www.wncdiscgolf.com/icebowl.pdf

Big old day on the dance course. New Weds Disco record with 16 folks slippin' and slidin' away courtesy of the early morning rain, sleet and snow, and of course the afternoon Christmas trees. Kind of like walking in uphill beach sand, but different, if beach sand was slippery as cat snot. Best I could tell though, there were no permanent injuries. Permanent injuries require the imposition of both a red card and seven years bad luck. ;) /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D:cool: Mike Samuels flirted with that ultimate penalty today by destruction of the under basket rock cairn on #18 with an errant putt. I mean, some types of juju you just can't mess with without penalty. :D

Get your bad head outside. Ramcat open for business New Year's Day to get 2008 off to a proper start. Spread the word. :cool:

Might stop by after WSP in ATL. I'll have PP driveby

heheheheh, got that one without the decoder ring. :cool:

I'll give u an easy one here and there. How's the weather there are we getting any rain?

Spitting drizzle, low 40's, no real rain. By Tuesday upper 40's and clear. :cool:

I've had several inquiries as to the format for the New Years Day festivities - times, singles/doubles, etc. Bottom line, anarchy will reign. Come whenever you can get your eyelids separated, but I'm figuring most folks from noon until.......... Primarily a celebrating of the new year with the brethren. :cool: Enjoy !!!:cool::cool:

A big time this afternoon on the ridge. Blustery and right chill on top but not overly bad on the south, as long as you didn't leave your coats at #4 on the way down the mountain. Ahhh well.

Back here tomorrow afternoon. Supposed to be blustery and nice again. I'll be out there and chucking. Come join me. :cool:

Brutal out there this afternoon, 32 degrees and wind 15-18 on top. Hard cases only today - Bear, Pete, Stank and Moi.

Don't forget First Friday Glow this Friday night at the park and First Sunday Singles this Sunday 2 p.m. at Ramcat. :cool:

Also meant to add that, per our fearless leader, the single greatest sporting event ever in any sport, the Yadkinville Spring Tourney has been approved and is on the PDGA schedule as a C tier for Saturday and Sunday 26-27 April. :cool: For the curious, this will fall entirely under the purview of Ben Porter. You're welcome. You are now recused. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

A 2 day event at Yadkinville, run by Ben...all I need to know is when will registration open up. I am already registered for an event in April. I might as well make it 2 events in April.

Pretty soon. I'll post it on the Tourney threads when he's set up. Not sure about PayPal and all that yet.

I love this tourney, question is will I get one of those sweet trophies again this year? They rocked last year! Thanks again for those Stack!

So how did it go last night with I would've went with the two Yadkin freeloaders that stopped by. Hope they made it cause I think they had bad karma from "borrowing" something of mine

Not sure about glow. Didn't make it. Ya might wanna make it to da 'Cat tomorrow to get some return from the bad karma boys. :cool:

Wish I could but I have to meeting PP in Gashouse for NYE left behinds

You and Pistol Pete shoulda been with us this afternoon Bradley. Weather indellible, clear, virtually windless, 57 or 58 degrees.... good any time of year and great in January. Several folks threw Ramcat personal bests today - Henri "Bear" Griffin, Pete Thorn, Krispy (tied a personal best), probably others I didn't hear about. 22 in the crowd with I think 10 Pro-ish and 12 Am-ish - mercenaries and the faithful. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif ;) Not sure how the bag tag situation shook out.

If anyone runs across YDGC BT #13, look on the same juju rattle and grab my Cranberry Disco Founding Father bagtag. That's the only thing on there I really want back. :confused:

The Senator, Kurt, Chuck and Stank put in some hours Saturday and got in #12 and #13 leaving only the monster uphill hyzer #17 to complete the Stack-nine of the Disco. Wednesday afternoon at the Disco. Be there. :cool:

cant wait and need to get back up to stacksville. 17 of 18, sweet. thread drift******************************************%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;
