thank you

My first tourney at the Horn... Can't wait! :D

I'll be bustin' my Horn cherry also!

I can assure you that the weather will be wonderful

NOT

It can only be an improvement for me. Please, please, please let it be in the 70's!

ill be happy with anything other than a DNF

I haven't heard anything about Friday doubles, one way or the other. If it were to happen, it would have to be start no later than 4:00, as the park closes around dark (currently 5:30, but probably 6 or 6:30 by mid-Feb.)

One change this year...pro and advanced will play one round from the blue tees and one round from the whites each day. Intermediates will play white tees all four rounds, as usual.

A hole-by-hole look at the course is available at http://www.radl.biz/Courses/BUCKHORN/main.htm
You must have the Flash (http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P5_Language=English) plug-in to view it.

I plan on coming out of retirement for this one.

Hey Juf, how is Monica?

Well don't screw up hole 17 and you won't have any reason to leave early this year.

1st buckhorn i dnfed it, first throw of tourny went swimming, i think we had good weather that year and hope for some this yeaaar.

last year i finished 2 strokes out of first, and i had a 2 stroke penalty for an incorrect scorecard
this is the same weekend as my prom, ill just have to go to prom next year

this is the same weekend as my prom, ill just have to go to prom next year



THAT IS AWESOME!!

i was sick during my junior prom - it sucked

I'm hoping for a cold snap the week before the Meltdown that'll freeze the lake and pond solid so I can stay warm and DRY this year. :D

Either that, or that all y'all will learn how not to throw your discs in the water. (Yeah, like THAT'S ever gonna happen!) :p

Felix is the man!

hole 9 or is it 10 needs some triming, in sted of it being a lay up hole. just a thought

I'm assuming that you're talking about hole 9. Pros and advanced will play the white tees twice, and I expect that most of them will go for it from there. From the blue tees, I agree that it is probably best to lay up, but even that doesn't guarantee a three, as the lay-up shot is tough. I have seen folks shoot at it from the blues, and make deuce, but it's a gamble.

Jack - Broughton is having the prom in February...what's up with that?!

from what I hear, I'm pretty glad not to be in Raleigh right now

So what happened? You guys get a couple inches of snow or did the freezing rain strike again?

Four friZZaks will be coming over for this one....

TThere's always room aTT <font color="red">TThe TTrim TTower</font>.

Wazzup Ceph,

It snowed about an inch, but there was no warning, and the roads were just barely warm enough to momentarily melt the snow, which immediately refroze into a sheet of ice. The schools let out early in the afternoon and the roads then became little better than a parking lot. Heard lots of stories about 4-9 hour commutes home from the Research Triangle Park to Raleigh (10-20 miles).

I was pretty upset that my 2 minute commute (intra-RTP) took me close to 5 minutes, but I won't complain about it here!

Seriously though, the roads were pretty slick, but it was the amount of traffic on them that caused the problems. Usually, we have some notice of any weather that is bad enough to make travel difficult and people stay off the roads.

How's that Chicago winter treating you?

Do I remember reading that you will be returning to NC for the Buckhorn event?

Later, LW

My company and I were in Clayton when we were told to head for home. I got to the 64 east ramp at 1:15. From there it took me an 1 hour and 45 minutes to go a 1/4 mile to get to corporation. Needless to say it sucked!! When I got to the neighborhood, I had to park up on the hill and walk another 1/4 mile to the house.

It took my popz 10 1/2 hours to get from RTP to Louisburg.

Four friZZaks will be coming over for this one....


Which Frizzak is not making the trip? And why arent you going to Brookesville instead?

It took my popz 10 1/2 hours to get from RTP to Louisburg.


R U serious? WOW :eek:

It took Jeff and Monica four hours to get to the tower from downtown raleigh. Steve left his car on the beltline and walked home. Took Fluke three hours to go two miles from his house to here. Man I'm glad I'm a shut in

4 hours and i almost got in 4 wrecks, great average. i hate everyone who wasn't stuck in their car last night...

thanks for getting us back on track. assuming we're able to play 2 rounds from the blues, will this be the 1st year?

The first Buckhorn was blue-blue-white-blue, except for the intermediates. I believe that was the plan for the last two years, as well, although the weather has changed things.

If any of you decide to go to the course, you shouldn't have any snow cover there today. I live 10 minutes away in Fuquay, and we just had a few flurries there.

Took me 7 hours to get from capital blvd. (near wakefield) to my house. :mad:

Larry,
Yep, I'll be back for Buckhorn. The three rounds of disc golf since November was the deal-sealer. No matter what the weather's like its sure to be an improvement from here.

less than an inch of snow................what a joke!!!!
all that was needed to avoid this was i little salt and sand.

TTO TTrue Fluv, people up north are laughing their arses off.

iTT was more 'cause everyone in Raleigh was on the road at once. Except me!

iTT was more 'cause everyone in Raleigh was on the road at once. Except me!



It was because they closed the schools before they could get DOT trucks out to salt and sand the roads. We had 20 kids sleep over at EWHS and there were 2000 countywide sleeping at schools.

:cool:Wow you guys def. had some trouble with the snow...****........Its pretty funny for us wegians :D
Hope everyone got home ight.

We have decided to come down to your neck of the woods to The Buckhorn Open.........we might come early to try and learn the course sometime between now and then. We'll give you post.

prrrrrrnnnnt

Yo Frizzacks, this course has similarities to Savannah. Tight, don't go off the fairway, etc. Two of ya'll cashed at Savannah ( Good shootin'!) so you should like this one. RADL always are great hosts.Try to make the Coastal Plains Winter Open if you can; the Knapps are fine hosts as well. See ya on the course. ;)
Peace

One of the phattest courses out there.

Shoot, y'all are a bunch of winter driving wussies. I left Wilson around 12:30 and go back to Durham shortly after 3:00. Would have been quicker, 'cept for all the other wussies on the road.

Here's a winter driving tip for y'all: if your wheels are spinning or you're having trouble going up an incline, put your parking brake in a couple of notches. That way you partially lock the differential and get power to both drive wheels instead of just the one that's spinning. Just remember to let out the brake once you get going.

Oh yeah: go easy on the gas: if your wheels still spin, you're giving it too much power. Back off on the gase and ease into it.

I haven't renewed this year, yet. I plan on playing this tourny. Can I pre-reg for this tourny now and then pay the RADL fees and PDGA renewal fees at Tourny Central on the 12th?

Here's hoping to decent weather this year.

yes but you could also be kind and fill out all the paperwork ahead of time so that it does not take up time if you just show up and hand over all paperwork and monies it will go much smoother.

You can download RADL and RADL PDGA Affilate forms from radl.biz (http://www.radl.biz)

Or if you are really really lazy.

RADL Renewal form (http://www.radl.biz/RADLPROMOTIONAL.pdf)
RADL PDGA Affliate renewal form (http://www.radl.biz/Other/pdgaform.pdf)

Yeah, I was planning on filling out all of the paperwork before hand.

I already have the forms on my computer, just wanted to wait to get to work before I printed them out.

If you are a current 2004 RADL Member you can reserve your spot. If you signed up for RADL this year (2005) you can also save your spot and pay the day of.

RADL Memberships run from Feb to Feb (you can Renew at the Who!)

Don't wait too long the morning of the BO, because if you don't get there early your spot will be given away.

Re: 4th Buckhorn Open

WORK DAY Saturday 1/29 10AM Buckhorn Disc Golf Course

We will be pouring the Tee Pad for hole #9. We will also be doing general clean up, limb maintenance, OB line restructuring, etc....

Items/tools to bring:

Pole cutter (for tall limbs), limb cutters, wheel barrels, rakes, shovels, gloves

If a anyone can donate bags of cement please contact Scott Anderson ASAP at:

discgolf18@att.net

See y'all at 10AM on Saturday 1/29

Is that the last teepad to be poured out there?

go to bed brian

Cant, gots to watch the Agassi vs Federer match live

In response to

Poster: Schweb
Subject: Re: 4th Annual Buckhorn Open

Is that the last teepad to be poured out there?

I think so. Looks like it will be one tee pad on 9 for now, not sure if there will be a short and long eventually, depends on motivation and how much help we get.

I will be there at 10 AM on Saturday to help work on the course (unless it is raining).

Kirk

Yeah...according to several forecasts I have seen, there is supposed to be rain this Saturday and possibly freezing rain/sleet

I can confirm that there are concrete teepads (for blue and white tees, where they are different) everywhere except at #9.

Someone recently broke off one of the boards for the form for the teepad to be poured on #9 blue. There is a flat place for a concrete tee pad for #9 white, but currently no form there. Also, there could be a safety concern about putting in a teepad in that spot (for #9 white), as stepping over the end would put you into a 3' deep ditch. I can't imagine that would make the county's lawyers too happy, so we may be stuck with just one teepad for now.

I think that (weather permitting) things should go pretty quickly on Saturday. I've already done some clearing around the baskets of #8, 9, 10, and 11, as well as on the fairway edge of #1. Additionally, the OB line on #17 is in place. Besides putting in the tee pad on 9, marking the OB on 18 and the free drop on 15, I think that the main thing to do will be just removing dead wood from edges of the fairways. Unfortunately, I can't get there before noon or 1:00 this Saturday, but I don't think it will take too many people.

Is that the last teepad to be poured out there?



I hope not. To make Buckhorn a Championship course, like it could be, you will will need have better holes. examples #12 and #16. It will get there eventually.

#16 needs alot of work.
there is sometihng wrong when your best option is a sidearm through trees hoping for the fairway, as opposed to throwing the safe shot up the middle that you know isn't going to work out because of a bunch of ***** left in the way.

well, now you have something to do saddiday

Or you could come to GVEGAS and play our Icebowl, on our freshly poured Teepads.

Schwebeeeee......I think your post rating needs to be higher. A couple days ago, I noticed you were about 50 posts away from catching MTL....... Now you've already blown by him..... I'll try and bring the wireless laptop for the trip to Mooky's, so you can keep rolling....

#16 has a new location for the MANDO. There is no more "prayer" short cut through the woods. The mando is about 60' shy of the corner. It's position makes you play to the elbow...

Just don't hit Blinky!

mando = booooo

#16= booo

so i'm guessing that during the workday a REAL fairway will be cut for 16!? The new mando could be cool IF there was an actual landing area - aka not a prayer shot short of the am pad into a bunch of holes.

mando = booooo




#16= booo



I have to agree with my esteemed colleagues.
i saw the sign moved the other day and thought it was just course vandalism, and the 'prayer' as you call it had as good of odds as the layup. unless you totally blow you'll get a four, which is no garuntee with the 'landing zone' at the turn.

So are we gonna clean out the vines hanging over the fairway this weekned?

Word, GiTTin

I actually like the mando being moved if the hole must remain the same - it makes you play the hole the way it was designed to be played - that doesnt mean I like the hole though, b/c I don't.

Can someone fill that big hole behind the am pad - I hate throwing a good tee shot and landing in that thing

I think we all know that there is only one person who likes #16...
The hole behind the AM tee pad is a major issue/risk. There have been some logs and small children thrown in the hole to start to build it up. I suggest you all add to it; just don�t touch my kid. It could possible be filled in with dirt or better yet crush-n-run (i.e. gravel), however there is sometimes running water in the bottom of the hole so whatever is done may get wash away. Mother Nature always wins.
As for the hole being trimmed out more, ask SA (and bring your pole prunners). It was cut back two weeks ago and there is a small window of opportunity at the corner, which will let you, get down the fairway.

And stop worrying about #16. You still have to play #4!

4 is the best hole on the course. I'm still trying to figure out what Snoop thinks is so wrong with 12. Did he mean 13?

he can't throw a sidearm that far... nothing wrong with 13, just a thumber

Sweet tag.

i also hate hole 12, its so hard to throw a backhand with the right amount of anhyzer and i dont have a good enough flick. ive never birdied hole 12

get a flippy driver
throw hard with hyzer
let disc turn over instead of forcing an anhyzer

or, throw a huge sidearm or thumber

i also hate hole 12, its so hard to throw a backhand with the right amount of anhyzer and i dont have a good enough flick. ive never birdied hole 12



I got it two out of four last year with a roc :eek:

thats what i do(throw my beat tl hyzer) but ive still never birdied it

I don't think #12 is a bad hole. If you make four pars on it, and you'll still pick up ground on most of the advanced field. I've birdied it occasionally (RHBH), but it takes some luck. If you can't get close often, just put a Roc down the middle and play for 3.

yup - I just throw a Roc on it and not try to get there - I guess my huge gun allows me to get there every now and then

if you just throw a roc or a driver straight to the end of the fairway, you'll have a 40-50 foot jump putt

true if i played buckhorn more i would probably birdie it

maybe

Yeah. I have birdied hole 12 once and that was with a 40 ft putt. I threw a flippy JK Valk to get to the turn.

The worse hole is 16 because of all of the openings in the ground behind the AM tee.

I think 4 is probably the most difficult hole on the entire course from the longs. Has anyone ever birdied it?

the main problem i have with hole 16 is there is not a good layup area, i could throw a good shot and still be screwed for my second shot, making a thumber through the woods that has to get lucky the best shot

Yes, #4 has been birdied many times...since it's a par 4! :D I don't think anyone has ever made deuce, although I have heard of people making a run at it from 80-100 feet out. Personally, I've never made 3; I play it as a three-shot hole and try to get my 4, instead of making 6 or 7 by putting a driver in the left woods.

My problem with hole 16 is that my disc usually fades too much and I miss the fairway by 20 feet. I throw a roc or putter a little high on the hole so I make sure that it doesn't land short and in one of the holes in the ground.

Ahh...well yes hole 4 is a par 4, but then again I just gauge everything as par 3.

Has anyone made it across the lagoon on hole 17 from the long pad?

Yes - JJ and Walt have made it across it.

I'm sure if I was sponsered by Innova I would try to get across every now and then too :)

I was out at the course this afternoon, and realized that I made two incorrect statements earlier today.

There is now a form for a white tee pad on #9 in a safer spot - about 30 feet in front of the blue tee pad. Also, I saw flagging on some trees along the corridor - perhaps a few more are going to be removed to make the gap a bit wider.

Besides #9, there is one other tee pad that does not have concrete - the white tee on #13. It's a bit muddy now, and will likely only get worse.

I only get to win at the horn once a year :(

Hole 12 is awesome. It's just a simple lefty hyzer with an overstable disc.

Righties need to learn a forehand so they dont have to complain about a left-to-right hole.

Nah, I will just throw a thumber thanks anyways.

I'll be tossing the one finger.

Simple is the key word. The problem with hole 12, is that it's no fun. It could be a little tougher if it were to be pushed back about 100' into the pines. That would make your second shot a bit harder or MTL's putt longer.

The holes that need the most work are around the lake. (10,11,12) Hole #16's long pad needs to be moved about 100' behind the short pad. That would allow us to play a great low, tunnel shot through a tight FAIRWAY. To make #16 work, hole #14 would have to tee between 13's basket and 16's new tee, but still throwing to the #14's pin.

MTL- I thought that you were sponsored? If not, I'll give you all the disc you want, if you'd like to throw over #17's pond. During the tourney, of course

I guess I'll just lay up

Felix, don't worry, he's not getting them across anyway. If I need to, I'll go for it during the last round. Then you can grab mine out. :D

Yeah, but with the temps they're calling for, I don't want to spend more time in the water than necessary.

With the temps they're calling for, you could be walking on water. Cool!!

With the temps they're calling for, you could be walking on water. Cool!!

Tell you what, if it's that cold, y'all can getcher your own **** discs, 'cuz I'll be sittin' at home in front of a fire with my feet up. :DBut maybe MTL could make it across from the blue tee. :p :D

I Just played Buckhorn for the first time. Great course. Hole eight is crazy. ( over the bridge and just short of the lake.) I really liked 9, 10, 11, 17. (Very cool holes). However, i played the white tees because i'm playing Am int for the open.
I shot -2 ... 17 WTF !!!!

go adv!

Bag tag challenge !

how many people are registered now??

Jeff,

52 (-2) from the whites, even in good weather, is about a 940 round. If you shoot that consistently, you'll win intermediate easily, and could cash in advanced.

thanks dude... Are you playin'? what Div ?

At 913, I'm eligible to play intermediate, but recently moved up to advanced. However, usually the Buckhorn comes down to who can play halfway-decent DG in really, really cruddy weather.

how many people are registered now??



little less than 40

bttt

I'm assuming there's no need to pre-register then, right?

I'm saving my money unitl I see the weather.

i wouldn't bank on this (http://www.weather.com/activities/other/other/weather/tenday-details.html?locid=27562&dayNum=8)

It's more like This (http://www.weather.com/weather/local/USAK0170?from=search_city)

I'm assuming there's no need to pre-register then, right?



We probably won't fill up till the morning of but it will cost and extra $5 to register the morning of. Other opportunities to preregister would be to come to the RADL meeting Tues. the 8th or I will be @ the course most of the day Friday the 11th.

RADL Tag Challenge Sat 2/5 10:30AM @ Buckhorn (Harris Lake)

We will break up into 4-somes based on tag numbers. If you dont have one that's ok will let you play.

The winner of ech group will gets a disc ($2 entry). Come on out if you aren't going to the Mooky's. 10:30AM, each group will decide if they want to play the Whites or blues.

I'm assuming there's no need to pre-register then, right?



I'm thinking it could fill this year!! Already 1/2 way there

just one round?

well, at least one out-of-stater traveling for this one..signed up through paypal yesterday. any other VA people going to be there?

Planning on being out there at 2 if anyone wants to join me. Playing my 3 round ever from the longs.

Will - I might make it out there this afternoon; it depends on how quickly I can get some work done.

Scott did you get my last e-mail ?

I played the Horn last week. I recommend this course highly.

I think it is, or will be, one of the best coursesin the state. It is my favorite course in the area despite the fact that the lake swallered one of my favorite discs. I feel for the lefties on 8 and 9. I would love to be the one that traveled the farthest to play this tourney but ..... next time! Y'all have done some great work. I was out there when you were pouring the new tee pads.

Are the trees marked with pink paint going to be removed?
What about the blue paint?

If I am right, if the trees were marked one color, then it meant there were broken limbs in the tree. If it was another color then the tree was dead and needed to be taken down.

Hole 9 isn't bad for lefties now unless they want to try and make it over the corner of the lake from the back tees.

The safe shot on hole 9 is straight down the shoot to the edge of the water and then a small little upshot to the basket.

alright drew...just give me a call on the cell if you are not going to make it. I will send you the number through a PM.

TJ is coming too if it is warm enough.

Scott did you get my last e-mail ?


Got your email Jeff, if you want get that ribbon/ tape for the baskets thats OK with me. Probably only need it on the water holes since there usually isn't much wind elsewhere. But knock yourself out and do what you want. Thanks!

4 Trees on left side of #9 have been cut down, wide open now by Buckhorn stadards, most should go for it even from blue. Not sure about any other markings, no plans for any other trees to be cut.

hole 9 is so much better, there is a gap, thanks to all who helped, wish i could have

I second that...Scott has done an awesome job getting the course ready, and it looks the best it's ever been.

U got the pole saw! I thought you were gonna stand on schwebergers shoulders????

i could :D

sooo plank,
how many times have YOU thrown it lefty?

The friZZaks will be mailing in their checks monday morning...
Sjur Soleng #19656
B�rd Soleng #19410
Jeff Cahill #20090
Matt 'the mustache' Buono will not be attending tournamets until he has the Magnum P.I. look complete.
Trim Towers?

whats the travel time from charlotte? :confused:

Its about 150 miles. From Haute' de FriZZack (Arboreeetum), I recommend I-485 to 49N to 64E. Probably 2.5 hours, but budget for 3.

LOST:
2001 CE ROC
Buckhorn DGC
177 grams
black stamp
"O" in Roc colored in RED
"VOID" stamped top and bottom.
"O" and "D" in void stamp colored in RED.

Never thrown it lefty. What I did say(or meant to say) is that it is easier for a lefty to make it down the fairway to the edge of the water.

That's only cause lefties know how to throw straighter than righties,

because:
lefty hole=any hole which is straight(or left to right).

Where? If it's in the lake, look me up before the players meeting Sat.

Y'all better be prayin' for 50s (or higher) and clear so I can bring my wetsuit. Otherwise, it's waders only, which means half the pond and the prime splashdown spots in the lake are off-limits. :eek:

Alas, no.

This was ca. hole four. For some reason, I don't think i picked it up from where i threw it - realized this on hole 17 - interviewed groups leaving to see if they had found it, went back and looked, did all i coudld to retrieve it - all to no avail.

I gotta question for all you guys out there in DG land: how do you replace a disc you've thrown for 3 years?

buy another or trade.
what about 2004 glow roc, replacement

or the new Super tuned Champion Roc, which will be in a special opaque Champion plastic.

Trim Towers?



You beckoned?

F.luke,

when you came through and saw me on hole 4, it was our second round. We didn't see it though(and we actually were looking for a disc ourselves).

Sorry...maybe it will turn up somewhere.

Doubt it.. :(

I am going out to bucky today at 3:00. It would be great if someone joined me because something is wrong with my drives and I would like it if someone could tell me what I am doing wrong.

If not it is ok.

its cause your not left-handed.

Ahh...so that has been my problem the whole time....

Thanks for the tip

Wise men have back up discs in the car/bag, just waiting to be called upon. Or, you can take a knife to the flight plate but you didn't hear that from me. /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Ahh...so that has been my problem the whole time....

Thanks for the tip



not a lefty....throw all white....thats your problem

friZZaks have mailed the checks

got the back-up, it just doesn't have the 3 years of wearing in to perfection like the other. come see me in 2008 and it'll be butter

good luck!! :D

I'll be out at the Horn tomorrow morning. I plan to play two rounds of golf and trim up a few more holes. Other than the trimming, the course looks great!!

On hole #15 there is rope that attatches to the left side of the steps. There isn't rope under the steps. How will this be played?

That is a good question. I don't think they are trying to grow grass under the steps.

So I assume mark your lie(even if it is under the steps) and take your putt since the rule of verticality only applies of OB lines. I had a disc go under the edge of the bridge on hole 8 on the very edge and I had to mark my lie under the bridge, take a legal stance and throw from there. Almost broke my ankle doing that.

After the RADL meeting ended tonight there were 12 spots left in the buckhorn tournament. The pre reg list will be posted soon.

DO NOT CALL SCOTT AND ASK HIM TO HOLD YOU A SPOT. NOTHING HOLDS YOUR SPOT LIKE A CHECK!

10

On the other Buckhorn thread, Scott said:
--
The tourny is filled, I will post an updated list of those in and start a waiting list. Those received in the mail today will probably have to get on the waiting list, sorry!
--

BO is offically full, 90 players, no extra holes!

On hole #15 there is rope that attatches to the left side of the steps. There isn't rope under the steps. How will this be played?



plan is to use the runner on the left side of the steps going up as the final line/ border to define the no-play zone, anything in under steps play where it lies, probably easiest to not mark it i would think, same with the bridges on #8.

Pre-Registered list (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=4967) now available on PDGA.com

friZZaks :eek:

Attention all you WTBHs who didn't make it in because you were planning to check the weather Sat morning before deciding whether to play or not, here's your chance to give back to the sport and help out your fellow disc golfers: come out Sat. and spot on 15/17. Weather.com's calling for 56�/sunny so I expect a lot more people to go for it from the white pad and from questionable lies on their second throw than in years past. It's hard to keep track of where all the discs that don't make it across are, and sometimes it's hard to get a good fix on where a disc splashed down when I'm in the water looking for another disc. And if you really want to help out, grab some waders and jump in on of the lake holes.

You know how nice it is to get back a disc that would have been lost, and how much it sukks to lose a disc, so step up and give something back to your fellow disc golfers. (Don't make me NOT look too hard for your discs at the Crosstown or the NCFDC. :D)

Sjur, be prepared to leave Buckhorn without the title "Champion of the Universe"

I agree with the statement made at our monthly meeting. Why play advance when you are playing against open players without the never to play pro. Just as well go pro and get your clock cleaned with a slight chance of making some loose change!

Final Results (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=4967&year=2004&includeRatings=1)

Thanks to Scott and RADL for another fine event.

thanks mike! Thanks RADL, NC points series has began. Good Luck to all participants this year. See you in High Point in Aug if not at a course sooner.

Scott, Mike, Felix, RADL, and everyone else involved with the tourny, a big Thank You to you!

Good Job Eddie thats 2 in a row, i guess you liked winning so much you had to keep doing it, either way good job and congrats

yep big thanks to RADL Scott Mike Kevin great job.
the course looked better than i have ever seen it.
and as always thanks to Felix for fishin' out the plastic

Fun tournament as always - thanks to Scott Rizadle and whoever helped with that pimp course.

See everyone in Jax next weekend.

Hmmmm....is that 5 in a row for BoFa???

Thanks to Scott Anderson and RADL for putting on another great event!!! Finally, a Buckhorn tourney without sleet or rain. :D

Congrats to Walt for setting a new course record in round 3 today. 11 down from the shorts.

Also congrats to Ed Williams for setting an unoficial Rhyno Course record of 52 from the <font color="blue">longs</font> using 4 Rhyno's and 1 putter (not used or driving only putting).

This was a well run event and we finally got in 4 rounds at this event. I think my old body likes 3 rounds better though. ;)

Thanks Scott, Mike, Felix, and everyone else who made my first trip to Buckhorn enjoyable. I must say, while, it's definitely not a lefty course, it's not as bad as I thought. The longs are a little tough with all the par 4s benefitting the righty, and the water holes benefitting the righty, and any hole you actually get to use a driver benefitting the righty hyzer... but I managed. I threw a lot more stingrays, leopards, and sidewinders than I ever had, and a few thumbers to boot.

I really enjoyed my groups al 4 rounds, and was happy not to be playing in a group in front or behind me that last round. It was nice to get in a groove and not have it thrown off by frustrated players, Thanks for the good rounds Mike, Dean, Keven, Robbie, and anyone else I forgot.

One of my favorite shots of the weekend was Chris? throwing out of the woods on 17, into the water, skips it, right into Felix's hands. Great grab!

Thanks to Ed W for the lodging and general hospitality. You are welcome here anytime you want to stay in our zoo.

See those of you who got in at Earlewood. And I will be playing pro there....

Oh yeah, duh, thanks to Trey and Sam for carting my [*****] around all weekend.

Congrats to Eddie for hanging on for the win. Wish I coulda played that morning round with ya. 47 is hot!

Matt

One of my favorite shots of the weekend was Chris? throwing out of the woods on 17, into the water, skips it, right into Felix's hands. Great grab!

Steve McLean, yellow 150g Shark. He expected it to flip and turn toward the basket, but it hyzered.

Actually, I going to play it on the fly, but as I was moving into position, I thought, "Hmm, I wonder if I'll get called for interference if I snag it before it comes to rest" :eek: So I backpedled a couple of steps and short-hopped it on the second bounce. :D

My favorite shots of the weekend:

1) Ron Turner clearing the pond from the blue tee, leaving himself a 20' putt. He carded the only deuce of the weekend from the blue tee.

2) Jay Pontier holing out from the drop zone during the fourh round for a circle-4.

I must say, all y'all must be getting either smarter or stronger 'cuz I didn't see anyone throwing '01-'04 or 8x Rocs on 17 this year. :p

Despite having a couple bad rounds, I had fun this weekend. I met some really nice golfers and even though I was on the last card we were cheering for each other after each great shot.

Memorable shots of the weekend for people that were in my group...

Terry's 3 on hole 17 from the long pad in round 4. She was the only one in our group to take a 3 on the hole.

My 3 on hole 4 from the long pad in round 4.

My disc getting wedged in the top of a tree on hole 18 during the 4th round.

Mike Norris' local route on hole 2 during the third round and his stance for his birdie putt(he was stuck in his stance after his putt).

Terry's forehand roller into the water on hole 9.

WTG EOG! Great way to start the season! Looking forward to playing with ya at the Crosstown. Keep up the good playing!

EOG, DEP4LIFE, WTG! Se ya next weekend!

My hat is off to Scott, RADL, Felix, and the volunteers for such a great job!
Ed W. YOU ARE THE MAN for picking up all those cigarette butts!!
I thank you!

Wow what a great tournament. Everything ran so smoothly. Thanks to all the volunteers. You are the ones that make the tournament. Thanks to everyone for all the nice comments. It really means a lot to me. I've never been so nervous in my life coming into the final hole in a 3 way tie for 1st. It was fun playing with Jeff, Jay, Robbie and Kevin. You guys are first rate golfers. See you guys in Jacksonville next weekend where I'll try to keep the streak alive! :D

PS) Walt, you are my hero. ;)

Looks like Walt put a major hurtin' on that course! Good showing Bryan Osh and Bird! And EOG 2 in a row! :cool:

Congrats on the second win in a row Eddie.

Seriously, the course was in great shape. Thankfully the rain and ice stayed away for the most part in the weeks leading to the tourny so the course wasn't so messy and muddy.

Much love to all the peeps involved in this tournament...It is a joy to get to play my favorite course in the area for 4 rounds with a birthday bAsH in between. Hope all that came out for the festivities on Saturday night went home happy. Thanks for sharing your evening with me and mines.

Congrats to all the winners. Walt, I appreciate your victory speech...It is good to know that someone as accomplished as you can step outside of disc golf for a minute during a tournament and think of someone else...Fr Fr Fr.

Mad love and thoughts/prayers go out to our boyz the Frizzaks whom could not be there. We all dedicated this one to you guys. Hope all is well in your camp. I'll holla.

One.

Just like Mojo said...."This one is for the Frizzacks"

Ed W. YOU ARE THE MAN for picking up all those cigarette butts!!



I think Ed Williams picked up 400+ cigarette butts from the course this weekend. Your help in cleaning up the course is appreciated. If only we could get all players do the same.

Congrats to all the winners. Walt, I appreciate your victory speech...It is good to know that someone as accomplished as you can step outside of disc golf for a minute during a tournament and think of someone else...Fr Fr Fr.

You're welcome. You should always put family first.



[/QUOTE]

There was nice weather this weekend 'cause I wasn't there...you're welcome! :D Congrats to everyone! That's just nasty Walt...great shootin'! Back-to-backers for Eddie OG!! Sweet job, keep it up! Good to see BO up there and Bird. I hope to see you guys sometime. Ed Pro, just take everything out of the bag except the Rhynos. That is all you need! ;) ;)

My heart goes out to the Frizzacks, and my prayers ask that everything turns out for the better. God bless.
