All I can say is, I guarantee we will get your kids taken care of and make your trip and theirs a great one. ;)

HECK YA... I get a ride to all of the course's. :D

You're seventeen and you don't have any wheels?...Or is that your Tonka truck is still in the shop. :D

I'm pretty sure the under 19 division will find their own rides.

It does not matter which course you are at in Tulsa, you can get to any course in town within 20 minutes.

You're seventeen and you don't have any wheels?...Or is that your Tonka truck is still in the shop. :D

In order for me to get some wheel's I have to get a JOB ...And that would take out some golf time :eek:

It does not matter which course you are at in Tulsa, you can get to any course in town within 20 minutes.

I got a ride to all of the course's Because I am staying at Bougher's house... Dont ALL Junior's play on the same course's?

I heard Bud Johnson was gonna drive the Juniors :eek:

I heard it was going to be Devan accompanied by his parole officer. :eek:

I heard Bud Johnson was gonna drive the Juniors :eek:

If you want to buy a disc from me, I will have no problem signing it for you Dave. :D:D:D:D

Maybe you can get him to sign one of those 40 molds or midnight flyer he won while playing ADVANCED at the 1986 Chandler tourney

Or maybe one of those Vipers and Scorpions he won while playing ADVANCED at the 1992 Riverside Tourney

Hey 2Putt, you guys have really done alot of wotrk getting this thing off well.iF i SEE YOU THERE LET ME BUY A BEER. mY DAUGHTER IS 13, HAS TO PLAY IN THE U-16 DIVISION. i AM DEBATING ON SIGING HER UP WAS ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRANSPORTATION ISUE. Sounds like you might have it covered.

Hmmmm - I just deciphered the schedule and noticed that we are playing 3 rounds, shuffle, 3 rounds, cut and then finals. It seems like a bit of a light schedule for a week of disc golf!

So with all of this free time we're gonna have, how far away is the casino? Will we be able to trade around for some extra casino bucks? :D

What courses will be available for practice for those of us not playing in doubles? I want to try and arrange a practice schedule so I can hit the courses being used for doubles before Monday...

Any local Hold em poker games going on?

So with all of this free time we're gonna have, how far away is the casino? Will we be able to trade around for some extra casino bucks? :D



Mr. Lizard. I will sell you my casino bucks for $15 :D

Can I play poker with you?...only played a couple of times :p

You Aussies have a knack for understatement, don't you? :D

You coming to Tulsa Chris? Let's get up a game!!!

ARE you coming up to the great state of Oklahoma, Mr Himing? We'd love to have you. :D

which casino is the best to go to .,...im a texas boy and want to do a little gamblin if yall know what i mean.....best deals, no cover and drop dead georgous woman to party with

Cherokee is the best bet. ;)

But Creek is our Sponsor. :D

Rocky,

I also have a few Jr, one is a 14 year old boy that I am also having to put into the <16 division. I think there are going to be a few of us trying to hook up rides.

By best casino there is no comparison. Creek Nation Casino by far. First of all, they are giving each player (except juniors) a free $10 play poker chip. They are giving each player (except juniors) a free entree. That does not even get into the darawing and mini giveaway that I do not know the complete detail so I will not get into here.

The other casinos in town are giving ......... nothing.... oh yeah - they were asked!!!!

Is there any doubt which casino is the best in town or should I say is there any doubt about which casino in town cares the most about us disc golfers and is willing to help out and be a part of the sport and the community???

Well said Jose. :cool:.....It's really important to let our sponsors know that we appreciate them and that casino deal sounds great. :D....Now if they only had a craps table, life would be so much sweeter. :cool:

ARE you coming up to the great state of Oklahoma, Mr Himing? We'd love to have you. :D



I will be there all week helping TD a course and doing what I can. Looking forward to a fun week.

AM WORLDS BLOG 7/13 (http://blog.myspace.com/2006amworlds)

Jerry sounds great, I am impressed with this tulsadiscgolf organization. I think i will sign my daughter up. I bet they will have at least some form of transportation to the jr's course since all juniors will be playing at the same time. Think i should take a chance?

I think it will be something she will never forget.

All of you playing Am Worlds really suck! It will be the longest week of my life knowing that I will not be at the BEST Am Worlds EVER! Good luck to all the North Texas Golfers, kick some Oakie Arse! Keep an eye on Dalton Seaboldt in the <16 division, he could win it!

HAVE FUN EVERYBODY, SEE YOU IN MILWAUKEE 07'

We wish you could make it here, man.

Looking forward to seeing you Chris (glad to hear you are still in the country).
PS - Watch out for Justin Bougher in under 16 division. Maybe he can follow in Devon's footsteps and take it :D

531 golfers, WOW!!!

Thanks Mike, really want to see the mohawk course!
The pics online are super shibby! I will find my way up there soon!

What courses will be available for practice for those of us not playing in doubles? I want to try and arrange a practice schedule so I can hit the courses being used for doubles before Monday...





I read somewhere that the courses that will be used for Monday's Mixed Dubs will be McClure and Dovilio. Not sure of times yet...Kevin?

531 golfers, WOW!!!

HOLY CRAP!
How many time's can you hear " DO YOU HAVE THE SCORES POSTED YET " in one week?
God bless the event staff. They are in for the ride of their lives!
For all of you out there that have never run a tournament....
LEAVE THEM ALONE, YOU WILL KNOW WHEN YOUR SCORES ARE POSTED, JUST FOLLOW THE MOB AND WAIT YOUR TURN!

wow, i counted 53 texas players just in the ma1 div!!!

How many time's can you hear " DO YOU HAVE THE SCORES POSTED YET " in one week?




I've got my earplugs :D

They can be purchased in bulk @ Home Depot. Potential sponsor????????????????

Also keep an eye on Ian Hovey from Austin, he could do some damage in Tulsa!

First I want to thank all of you who have done so much in putting this together for all of us. It is very much appreciated!

Second, will there be water stations at the various courses or is that way too much to hope for? I imagine that - logistically - it would be a bit of a pain, eh?

Thanks again for all you have all done. Looking forward to getting to Tulsa from the Northern climate...oog.

:D

Brother

There will be water stations but everyone is encouraged to go ahead and top off your water supply before you get to the course.

Look forward to seeing you down here. :cool:

We will have lots of water stations. But as hot as it's going to be I'm sure keeping the water buckets full will be a mighty chore.

The atmosphere looks like 100 degree days are in our future for the next few weeks, the only front on the map is in Idaho and there is nothing but High pressure behind it, so it WILL BE HOT!!!! and not alot of wind to cool ya down. We would advise that everyone is prepared for the heat by bringing water also to try and keep everyone hydrated. The humidity is usually in the 50-70% so expect to lose lots of fluid and PLEASE make sure you keep yourselves hydrated.


AND SUN SCREEN

don't want anyone looking like this guy

Yep...one week from today should see me on my way to Tulsa with my discs, some good beer and a whole bunch of Igloo water jugs! (Oops! I will also be bringing up my own adult malted beverages by the sound of it too! :D)

Let's get up some poker!

As for POKER: we have a weekly game on Wed. here in Tulsa but during Worlds we may just have a Wed night Casino night since Creek Nation is putting a $10 poker chip in your players packs

My wife and I are looking forward to Casino night!! We have only been to a casino once, but it was a VERY fun experience. Oh yeah, the rest of the week should be ok too ;)

Sounds like a good call on doing a Wednesday night poker deal at the Casino.

Any of you TX guys mind bringing up a couple cases of beer for a fella?

Will the pool assignments be posted next week with the final registration list?

i am actually thinking of opting out due to school work and the stage of the course i am designing. i already have a room paid for at the host hotel.

with spots still open, is this thing even gonna fill?

So you not going? so next year you will still be an am player? ;) :D:D:DGo pro grandmaster don't be skeered

I don't think any worlds ever has, but this one's going to be close.

chile if you knew anything about me you would realize you just said some really stupid stuff, even with the smileys :D

and why does what division i play matter so much to you anyway?

so if it is gonna fill, you would still go to worlds?!?

Chile just wants more competition!!!

Pat - Don't cancel out! Come on up and have some fun. Work will always wait for you to get back. :D

I second that! I was really looking forward to finally meeting this Sandalman character I always see on the board even if I don't get to play a round with ya...course, you could always come down to the younger guy division, but there's no hover round in the payout for us (you Masters guys ARE playing for a hover round, right?) :D

C'mon Brenner, get your rear end up here!

Flip Flop - how are you going to beat Tabor if you don't go?

You got that right Gary, MM1 is going to be the toughest competition I have seen yet at worlds. The only 2 people missing in this mix that I have noticed is
Kent La gree
Mike Frame
both are way tough players.

See ya soon Mr. Duke

It is almost game time. :D:D

RonSTL

You didnt look very well at the latest update, Michael Frame is in.................

I'll be there, probably Thursday.

I still have my normal objective, I just want to make the cut and play on Saturday. It might be tough with 144 players and only 44 spots in the semis, that's just the top 30%.

PM me if you're going to be there early and want to get a few rounds in on the Mohawk.

I am leaving daylight maybe earilier Sat morning and headed to Mohawk for the afternoon. My guess is I should hit Mohawk somewhere 11-12 on Sat. I talked to Kelldog yesterday and he said Haikey was completely redone also. I was not going to practice that until he filled me in on Haikey.
I cannot wait I leaving tomorrow.
Talk soon time to get back to work.

does the host hotel have good wireless access?

thanks fo rthe encouragement guys. i do want to play... i am taking an MBA program that stacks all eight courses back to back, each course five weeks. with papers due every saturday, you cant miss even one week. so if everything looks cool for that week (week 3 of the class) i'll be there.

Casino Night, does Oklahoma have Gambling?

I checked with the hotel and they told me they had ethernet.

How soon will the starting pools be posted? I'm going to try to make an itenerary, and I'll base it on where we're playing the first couple of days.

Also (again, specifically for Advanced but relating to other divisions as well), after the shuffle, how will you be assigned to the pools? Top 72 = A, next 72 = B, etc.? Or is it going to be different than that? My family will possibly be driving through during the end of the week, and I'd like to let them know when I'm playing as soon as I can.

Thanks guys, this next week won't go by quick enough!

Looks like a little rain creeping into the forcast for the beginning of the week! :(

Sunday night(the 23rd) at 6p.m. at the Holiday Inn Select on I-44 & Yale is when we will have our meeting for just the volunteers. This is when I will hand out t-shirts and badges. We will go over any questions and discuss the upcoming schedule.

Thanks Jose`

Yes, Oklahoma has gambling. Just about everything but craps. Creek Nation Casino is a major sponsor.

Clue me in on where I'm going to be eating breakfast in Tulsa. Who's got the best breakfast tacos? Closer to the Holiday Inn the better but, close to the courses works too.

Can't wait for Saturday.

Dont forget to take REAL BEER with you :D

Dont forget to take REAL BEER with you :D



Just a reminder, you can purchase REAL beer in the 'package' store (before 9pm, closed on Sundays) but it's not cold. If you're in the hotel you can ice it down in the sink or on the A/C unit. I recommend the Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat :D

So Pablo - didn't I read up-thread somewhere that OK only sells 3.2% beer? Now I'm confused...I had planned on leaving 9 of the 18 water coolers behind so that I'd have room to bring my own beer... :D (Just kidding Kev!)

You can only buy 3.2 in the convenience or grocery stores (cold)...you can buy the other (although not all brands are available....no Bud, Coors, etc) in liquor stores, but it's hot until you ice it down. I personally don't waste my $$$ on 3.2 beer, I just ice it down when I get it home from the liquor store

Drop your warm beer into a <font color="blue">icy</font>-coldwater bath... <font color="blue"> ice</font>-cold beer in less than 10 minutes!

if you ice it in the cooler 4mins :D

I knew it was less than 10 minutes...but wasn't sure exactly.

Wish I could be joining you all for a great Am Worlds, but I have way to much on ALL the burners up here to break away for a week. Good luck to all!! :cool:

8 minutes for cans to chill in a cooler. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Make sure you guys drink plenty of water to offset the alcohol from the night before. There is no helicoptor access on Blackhawk to lift you out if you pass out from the heat. The only way in and out is on the backs of donkeys. :D...If you go down the rest of your card might just bury you there or cover you up with some branches depending on whether or not you are a contender to win it or they don't like the state your from. ;)

8 minutes for cans to chill in a cooler. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif



Course, if you HAVE to have it cold faster than that, bring ziplocs, pour the beer into the ziploc, submerge in the ice bath (under ONE minute!!!) then just rip a hole in the bottom corner and drink like the astronauts :D

As I mentioned above, there are options.... :D

3 days till blast off........ :D

Can anyone suggest an order to go out and see the courses. We will be getting in from Atlanta on Sat. afternoon/evening and I wanted to maximize my exposure on the courses to get the most out of it before Tues. I am assuming we should go to the courses that are being used for doubles on mon. first thing Sunday so we don't get in the way. :D

I think Dovillo and McClure are being used for doubles. Kevin McCoy would know for sure. You'd probably want to check out Mohawk next since both courses are in the same location. Then Haikey and Hunter on the south side of town. It's a good idea to check them all out whether you play the whole course or not. That way you at least get a general idea on the driving time to each one and where one is located in relation to the other. Don't forget about rush hour traffic in the mornings also. Driving time will be longer than on the weekend. McClure and Dovillio are within a mile of each other while Hunter and Haikey are spaced apart by about 6 to 8 miles.

Blackhawk is definitely the course you want to play though as it will probably be the course that makes or breaks a lot of people. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Dang you Seewere, why'd ya have to side track my search for breakfast.

I'm going up there with Matt, you've gotta know we'll have the 12oz portions of breafast, luch, and dinner covered.

Now about those breakfast tacos????

Post deleted by J_A_B

JAB: I believe there is a place right down the street from host hotel that serves breakfast tacos...I'll be over that way this afternoon, I'll check it out for ya.

WOW, Olheiser's online...what's the world coming to? :D

Mon. after work.

Sorry I've been kinda busy practicing for this little tourney coming up in T-town. btw.... I played Blackhawk yesterday and started with a 4 on hole 1, took a circle 5 on hole 8, and missed a 15 footer for a 3 on hole 14(the question mark) and finished at 55. My best by 3 strokes. Has anyone shot under 54 on blackhawk besides Coda?

I haven't seen the course yet, have only seen the scores...pretty sure yours is one of the best. I'll get to find out for myself next week

If you have never played Black Hawk, then prepare yourself for a +double digit round, some even go for the double/double. :o

Did you play Blackhawk or red cause I heard par on Blackhawk was 64 so if you shot a 54 you are doing pretty good.

I played both red was 52 (avg) black was 55 (personal best)

Sounds like you are ready to make a run at the title!

You had better re-think those predictions, they both have recently lost their money to me. :o

I need to get out there and play Mohawk if I want to compete.

I'll take you on, old timer...Dolese? :D

Nope. I just want to make the cut, so I can play black twice. After that 55, I know I will break par eventually.
Imagine shooting under par on all 6 courses. That would rule! If you're old school then you know par=54.

Hey Jeremy do you plan on going to Tulsa to practice anymore before Monday after work?

Just bring it to Tulsa, I've got room in my belt for another notch.

I usually only give lessons here in Town, If I have to travel to OKC to give one, it's going to cost you. :D

I look forward to seeing you next week

Fins Furs and Feathers of Sanford NC. Owner of the Future Championship Course Rock n Roll Fairways.Owner Chuck Connelly also is the TD of the Eastern NC Homegrown Tour. A tour that promotes and Supports the private home courses.

Chuck is a great supporter of young disc golfers. (and old ones now that i am on board)

I am proud to be a member of Team FFF along with:

Dawn Geist
Rocky Geist
Chris Warf.

sorry to boast but i am just shocked. It just goes to show that sponsorships are more than a rating.

Hey Gary,

OH BTW are you turning Pro after this yrs worlds like all of your competition is going to do after AM worlds? Just inquiring minds want to know. Peace bro, and have a safe trip from MI!

I seriously think we need to build a makeshift bridge for holes 7 and 13 at Hunter. I've personally never been there in a downpour , but I'm guessing it wouldn't take much rain to cover up the small rocks we normally use to get across. Are we prepared or should we all start doing the anti-rain dance?

Where are you getting this forcast?

All of the local stations here are projecting a 20% chance, which means nothing around here.

Weather.com doesn't know crap. You have to live here to understand the weather predictions in Oklahoma are like predicting the winner of advanced.

If it does rain, we are screwed at that park, unless we shuttle them across. A pain but it can be done.

Last I heard the city will not let us put a bridge there....it is by far the worst "crossing" we will have to deal with. If it rains a lot we will need something there fo shizzle.

The weather channel dot com 10 day forecast for Tulsa, OK.
I honestly doubt it will rain...but if it does we will need a safe way across.

Like I said, its a last resort but we can shuttle them around if we have to. Two volunteers, two vehicles and it should go pretty quick.

I 2nd that motion, team FFF is very apreciative of Chuck, and Fins Furs and Feather, the best place to purchase all your disc golf needs. Chuck brings the true meaning to True Growth. As he perfects his course Rock and Roll Fairways, it will be a course for all to emulate.
Thanks Chuck, and all my Team FFF counterparts.
See you in Tulsa

A another new course in NC. Nice! Is it like Renny, Castle Hayne, or Ho Nest? It is good to see sponsorship in any capacity. Drop some info because I always look forward to playing new courses. Good luck NC boys and girls. See y'all Tulsa.

Is the distance competition an official distance event? My daughter Nicole wants to try and break the world record for a distance throw by a 10 year old girl. Will distance throws at this year's Worlds count as official world records?

Thanks.........Rick

I was informed that it is not a distance competiion but a long drive competition.

The competitions at all Worlds this century have been Long Drive not official distance competitions. Not even sure when the last Worlds had an official distance competition. It's primarily due to the requirements in terms of field size, levelness and wind requirements that can't always be met at a venue. In addition, not everyone in a division can compete at the same time due to multiple pools. However, the event at Worlds must go on regardless of not meeting official conditions so the decision was made to run it as a Long Drive competition and avoid the issues.

I dunno what the wind criteria is, but this worlds IS in Oklahoma...if there wasn't considerably more wind than is permitted under the guidelines I'd be very surprised

If it is anything like today,, there will be no wind and it will be 104 in the shade but it is Oklahoma and it could be blowing 45mph with Tornado warnings.

If you need to prepare yourself for the Oklahoma summer, I can suggest that you warm your oven to about 150 drgrees, then stick your head in it for about 5 minutes. You get the picture.

As an example, this morning at 8:00am it was 89 with 80% humidity and by 5:00pm it will be over 100. :o:o:o:o:o

I guess the 110+ weather that we are having in NorCal will help me be prepared.

It was 95 here at midnight last night.

I guess the 110+ weather that we are having in NorCal will help me be prepared.



Yeah pretty much - just add a bunch of humidity - our temp right now 4pm is 109 (according to the phone - 477-1000) and the heat index is somewhere around 119 - with no wind.

The weather next week is supposed to be alot cooler - around 90 with chance of rain a couple of days.

Rain? Maybe? Hmmmm...swamp golf! A playing field I'm used to! LoL!!! :D

How many more days to go?

When is the players meeting?

Who is our umpire?

I guess the 110+ weather that we are having in NorCal will help me be prepared.


A 110 is a lot different in Tulsa then 110 in Nor Cal. I grew up in Sac and lived in OK for 5 years. Plenty O water will solve the problem though. See ya in Tulsa

But you guys don't even have a clue about humidity........I #$*&$! 110....from h-town........5am....you walk outside...,your shirt is hanging to your knees........we will see who survives! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I have also lived in Boston, North Carolina and Nashville so I know what humidity is all about.

it not the temperature that will kill you, it is the wind ;)

H-Town wins, I've been there, definatley the arm pit of the nation. :D

But it will still be hot and humid, we can hope the wind is blowing.

What is the best route to Tulsa from DFW, more specifically Arlington? I live right by Veteran's Park between I-30 and I-20. MS Streets & Trips is telling me to take I-35W up towards OKC and then hop on I-44 into Tulsa, for a 318-mile trip. The route I see that looks much quicker is getting to 75, which basically turns into 69 near Denison, and then jump on Indian Nation Turnpike for a few miles, which then turns into 75 and comes into South Tulsa. How much in tolls would that be?

Thanks

Hiway 75 is better. Why go thru OKC if you don't have too. I can't imagine the toll on the Indian Nation to be more than 2 bucks at the most.

Defintaly Hwy 75 north to the Indian Nations Turnpike to Henryetta, then Hwy 75 north again straight to Tulsa. 4 hour drive time.

I lived in Columbia, SC for 10 months. That is by far the worst I've experienced.

H-Town wins, I've been there, definatley the arm pit of the nation. :D

But it will still be hot and humid, we can hope the wind is blowing.

I'm not sure, but I think the toll on I-44 is higher than the one on the Indian Turnpike.

I always go up 75, but I live in Plano.

It doesn't matter where you live in the Dallas Metro area, it is much less time to travel up hwy 75.

Is it against the rules for a volunteer to crack open a frosty brew in front of beer thirsty players during the middle of a round? :cool:

I think it's probably ok as long as it's LEGAL in Tulsa to drink beer publicly...it is in OKC as long as it's not in a 'youth' park (Dolese)

I'm saying it's ok with me cause I don't drink while I'm on the course anyway, so it's not going to bother me any :D

Would it be a courtesy violation if i kicked it out of his hand? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Well Boulevard Brewing is one of the sponsors. Someone needs to represent them on the course. :cool:

I thought that you were going to be representing Aquafina and Stoli. You know by filling your water bottle with vodka.

Well Boulevard Brewing is one of the sponsors. Someone needs to represent them on the course. :cool:



So you're saying you're considering having BOTTLES of beer on the course? Or just the whole keg?

I love the unfiltered wheat, have a 12 pack in the fridge at home right now

It doesn't matter where you live in the Dallas Metro area, it is much less time to travel up hwy 75.



I agree...I have made the trip south to the metroplex many times and hwy 75 is my preferred route.

Hey Derik, there a couple speed traps between TX and McCalister, OK so watch yourself.

That keg idea sounds pretty good. :cool:....I'll just load it in the back of the truck along with the water. Some of you guys already know you're not going to make it thru the whole week. If you're going to get a DNF anyway you might as well go out with a brewskie in you hand. ;)

On top of that, how else are spectators ever going to look at DG as an All-American sport if there is no "Beer Man" there to provide refreshment. :confused: :)

"Beah Heah"

Here's a great American family! :D http://www.palmbeachpost.com/pbcwest/content/local_news/epaper/2006/07/19/m1a_TIED_UP_0719.html

That's a tough family.

i have a room at hte host hotel that is available. it is already paid for, so we'll need to get busy on transferring it from me to you, but i can work out those details.

if you want/need a room at the host hotel, contact me ASAP!

Anyone know how many discs you get to throw for the distance comp? Must they land in a designated area?

3 mo days!

I added it to the map. Thanks for the heads up. I'll be driving up there EARLY Sunday morning, so when my radar detector goes off, it will have probably been too late.

When I drove back from Dallas last month there were a few I saw that got pulled over. I was using them as ticket dummies, but luckily backed off at the right times.

When you go through some of those small towns and it says 35 or 45 they mean it. I've known and seen many get pulled over on HWY 75. Good luck to all coming from TX and be safe. Hope this helps a little.

You may even keep it 5 under considering where you're coming from...when the cops in the small OK towns see your tag, it doesn't say Tejas...it says REVENUE ;)

My daughter SuperGirl (Nicole) is playing in the girl's 13 and under division. My wife is planning to fly to Tulsa on Friday the 28th to watch her play. There are 4 girls in the 13 and under division. Will all 4 girls play in the semi-finals on Saturday? How many girls will play in the Finals on Saturday? My wife wants to know so she can plan her flights accordingly.

Thanks..........Rick

Honestly...after watching "Supergirl" play at TWC, I don't think you have to worry about her being in the bottom half of the field! Hope I don't offend any other parents out there, as I haven't seen anyone else in that division play...but I know Nicole is awesome for her age!

Oh, and sorry I don't have a realy answer for you!

I asked Kevin McCoy the same question in May. He told me that the event should meet the requirements for a distance record - mainly a flat venue, but that trees might interfere with max distance throws. nonetheless, if one did throw a record throw, there should be no major impediments to having it certified. The other requirement is an accurate measure of the distance. In the past, my son and I have done it by making the first measurement with a laser rangefinder, and after that if necessary with a tape measure.

Are u coming, David? I don't think I saw you registered. :(

ahhhh, just in time Pablo.

Now if there was only someone else besides you two donkeys to talk to it would be great. :D

Yeah that sucked! Being this close to Worlds and the board goes down? THAT SUCKS!

I am looking for someone to car-pool to Tulsa with. I would like to leave friday mornng but obviously in my position I am very flexible. I will be staying with my brother up there and riding back to Austin with him as well. So I'm just looking for a ride to Tulsa.

I guess my phone numbers would probably make this easier. Home 264-7132, Cell 565-4949

Heading down in about 5 hours!

My final prediction
The top ten will include:
2 from Michigan
4 from Oklahoma
1 from Missouri
2 from Texas
1 from Indiana

Seeya on the course.

Yo Tulsa! Mr. Forest/Mr. McCoy - would one of you be so kind as to check you e-mail or PMs and shoot me a reply please? I'm leaving in the morning and I need to get everything printed.

Thanks!

I'm sure that we will all drink lots of beer, party hardy, have a great time, and so on. But let's all remember that there were many hours in preparation for both the courses and the event for such a large group of us fanatics. Just think of running an event for 500ish of us? For a week? Tulsa appears to be stepping up well. The Tulsa key group of guys REALLY seem to be stepping up.....Rather than wait until after everyting is a done deal, thanks to Kevin McCoy, Wayne Forest, and Jose' Mendoza. I'm sure that there are many more that have helped out. I hope to shake a few hands and buy a few beers. Shoot, when you get to the older divisions, as I, things are much more appreciated (courses, events, etc.). From afar, Milwaukee (2007) has yet another standard to attain.

Dont forget JOE ROTAN and DAVE WISE....they are my heroes!!!

Oh, and sorry I don't have a realy answer for you!



Thanks for the kind words. I am sure SuperGirl will do her best. She has being playing well lately. In her last 4 tournaments, she has three 2nd place finishes and won her 1st tournament just last weekend. Last weekend she made three birdies in the first round, which is the most birdies she has ever had in a single round.

However I must say that Rebecca Frazer has to be a huge favorite to win the tournament. Her rating (746) is much higher than the rest of the field. Her rating is also much higher than anyone SuperGirl has every beaten. So Rebecca is definately the top player in the field.

SuperGirl is really looking forward to playing with some other junior girls. Since she always plays in the rec women's division, she has only played in one tournament (Waco Open) where there was a jr girl playing on her card (Trica Virtue). So she is really looking forward to Worlds.

Yeah, I think the Frazer family will have a good showing in all divisions!

I'm generally just an athletic supporter when it comes to world's - a man has got to know his limitations ;-)

It wasn't at the Oklahoma Open....so figured I'd ask just to know for sure.

I gotcha, I'm probably the last person who should have responded to that since the only time I ever play McClure is during GCD

Dovillio will be a little different from the Double O also.

How so? Details please! :)

As far as I know walking paths will be OB at McClure...not sure about the paths at dovillio.

At the Double O we played it a little different from how we usually play it, pretty much it is gonna be how we play it at the minis.

For example

Dovillio Hole 1 and 3 there will be string out there if you throw across the path it is O.B. At the Double O you could be down in the grass or across the path and still be safe.

Throwing from hole 1 to hole 18 for example will be o.b. at the Double O you could have shanked one across the street and still throw it back over and still be safe. You gotta stay between the road and the pink line on holes 1 &amp; 3.

Hope that helps a little.

Almost all of the Texans are in the C pool.
There's nothing like driving 450 miles to play with a guy who lives down the street.

Thanks Thong and MC

Where is this info posted??

I'm sure it will all be spelled out in the program, right?

Will the 2 meter rule be in effect?

I just hope I get in a pool where nobodys' gonna pee.

Does Tulsa have any plans for making a DVD for this event?

I've pee'd and dropped "Furpaddies" all over those courses so sooner or later you're going to step in one. :cool:

Keep it in the fairway or suffer the consequences. :D
