With the exception of 210 addresses (from zip 97333-3969 through 98390-8656) the Winter 2005 issue of DGWN was mailed via third class mail from Oklahoma City on Tuesday, January 18. Most issues arrive in 10 to 17 days. However, some may take as long as 24 days. Therefore, if you have not received your issue by February 11 (Feb 14 for the 210 mentioned above), please contact either DGWN or the PDGA to get a replacement issue sent. If you have moved and left a change of address with the post office (but didn't let the PDGA know in time for this mailing), allow another 3 days. If you moved and didn't leave a change of address and didn't notify the PDGA of your new address, obviously your issue will not be delivered! If this is your situation, please contact the PDGA.

FYI: This is the fourth and final issue of the 2004 membership year.

I'm biased of course, but I think it's a very good to excellent issue. The table of contents reads: upshots, ontour, what's up with women, health matters, carrie berlogar interview, john notenboom, green pages, year in review, journey to japan, derek robins interview, women's nationals, trancontinental flights, calendar, u.s. disc golf championship, pdga pages, box scores. parting shots.

Enjoy!

Thanks Rick, looking forward to some more great reading material.

Can't wait to see my name listed as a winner. Thanks for the heads up. Could you do this (announcement of mailing) for every issue? I think it's pretty cool.

Rick,

Is the preview article on Pro Worlds 2005 in Allentown appearing in the Spring 2005 issue?

Can't wait to see my name listed as a winner.



Me too! and a couple of aces also, I hope.

When you join the PDGA, do you get a DGWN subscription or just the one issue? I joined in Oct./Nov. of '04 and got issue #70 with my membership packet - is that all I'm getting? :confused:

One year's worth. Four issues.

If you were a first time 'joiner' last Fall, I believe you will receive all 4 issues this year in addition to the one you received last year ('04).

I believe that is right from what I remember reading

I feel a TX bias on this thread, A postal bias that is.

I haven't received mine yet. :confused: :confused:

I think the federal employees are afraid to travel back into your neck of the woods. :p

Got mine. Thanks and Good Job Rick. It keeps getting better over the years.

Them there yankee federal bastids step on my property and they never step off. Although pieces of them do on occasion. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I hope it comes today!

Finally, I got mine today, WAHOOOO.

I am ready for the next one, when doest it arrive???

Got mine yesterday! Two of my pictures from the USDGC made it, woohoo!

got mine - 78735

Got ours yesterday in Dallas

Michigan naturally takes atleast 3 weeks.

There was one in my mailbox today.

Got mine today! Hey Rick, when ya going to publish DGWN monthly?? (Just kiddin'!)
Doc

it would be nice if it was a monthly publication though...
or if i just ever got the ones i was supposed to :D

It would be difficult for them to get in all of the tournament results and have so many interviews each month. The magazine would be a lot smaller.

any day now.............

who made the cover?, i just got my fall 2004 yesterday. now i want the other. :D

waiting sucks! i wish they sold DGWN at Barnes and Nobles or something, then I could just go buy one right now...

But waiting for it is half the fun :confused:

I'm always one of the last ones :mad:

I might have move to texas or something...

Then you would become a texan :o

who made the cover?, i just got my fall 2004 yesterday. now i want the other. :D

Val Jenkins, and Jesper

Does anyone else think it's a little mean to list the names of the golfers with the worst score on each hole in "The good, the bad and the average" at the end of the USDGC article?

There were a couple of board posters on there. Hysell? Mace? Does it bother y'all?

Rick probably feels the worst score on a hole isn't picking on anybody since he holds the record with a 21 at USDGC.

To Rick's credit, he did list himself. I should have mentioned that in my post. :)

What's wrong with being a Texan? :confused: :mad::confused:

Nothing wrong with being a Texan, but there is something wrong with an Am that has www.discraft.com (http://www.discraft.com) listed as their homepage. :D

Tell ya when you get back to Kansas Toto. :D

You have a great golf scene going there. That's for sure. And the Ausie :D

I still have not recieved mine.

I see your point, but competitors should realize the high profile of the event. They should realize they are playing against the most elite players the sport has to offer, on the highest SSA course ever created. If they can't handle the notoriety, then maybe the qualifying process (specifically, the state coordinator giving out an entry to whomever he/she chooses) may need to be addressed.

A possible benefit of spiking out the high scores would be to indicate issues with the course design. If the USDGC is regarded as the best course in the world, it shouldn't have competitors (again, supposedly the best in the world) taking thirteen, fourteen, twenty-one, etc. on a hole, imo.

I dont think anything is wrong with a texan. I just said that he would become a texan. Definition:adj : of or relating to or characteristic of Texas or its a resident of Texas. :)

I know I am just whoring at the moment. :D:D

For some reason it seems like people want to become a texan :confused:

Some of us were lucky enough to be born that way. :)

I see I just dont understand why people from northern areas like to become a floridan or texan?

Lack of snow.

If I moved to Texas i'd get my DGWN earlier... :(

Both of those comments are true.

simple, disc golf all year round! :D

I think another reason maybe disc golf in the winter with lots of tournaments but in the summer it is too hot so there are more tournaments up north.

The results for the Monsoon madness tournament are WRONG. The results are for Nat�s Halloween XXI. :eek: :mad:

I never thought about that...
But I did get my DGWN in the mail today, already read it front to back! :D

I played once in florida during the winter it was 80 and sunny a week later I played here there was a over a foot of snow so we had to tie ribbons on our discs. The temp was close to zero i would rather play in sunny 80 degrees then crappy 0 and snowy.

Lucky :mad:

That cover photo of Avery is great, but when did he start growing his hair out?

i found out by accident when i placed my ice bowl order and asked rick if the results made this issue as they should have been in the last issue.... he said yes they were there and said it was a pretty good out of state turnout,then said oops, looks like the results got mixed up with the other event....

but maybe they'll be right by the '05 monsoon madness and they can run both years results together :eek: :D

got mine friday

Got mine.

There appears to be no coverage of a PDGA Major that was held in November. Can anyone provide a page reference in case I missed it?

Another good one, Rick!

I dont either, do you have to be renewed?

Yeah!!!!! Johnathan Michael Knapp makes his first apperance in DGWN. Thanks Rick! I really like the "TD Thank You" page. Next time dont put my name next to Robert Leonards. :D

Got mine :D

Great issue, congrats to all involved. Lynne Warren's articles were especially well written and made me feel proud to be a disc golfer when showing the magazine to those less involved with the sport. I have been a bit insensitive in my criticism of DGWN in the past, but to Lynne's credit she has obviously taken it upon herself to strive for excellence in her journalism and it has defintely reached a professional level. It was great that she included details such as her own educational background and referenced materials from which the info was extracted. This defintely gives the information greater credability and establishes her as an expert. Thanks for going above and beyond and helping to elevate the public image and professionalism of our sport.
