Will be in Tulsa Oklahoma!!! July 2006!!! Save your travel and Poker money!!! Stay Tuned for more...
Good Job Kevin and Mike...Congrats Tulsa!!! :D

I got the news from TwoPutts as well today.

You can count on me sending some merchandise for sure.

I put my money on Texas having more players than any other state and maybe even more than a majority of the states combined.

Why will it be in July instead of Aug like everyother year?

SWEET! Now all I have to do is learn to play Disc Golf You can bet I will be working on getting on the invitation list, because I don't think there will be many spots available on the waiting list.

well DONE!

is this a done deal!! sweeet!!! :D

That will probably be worked out...Those were the dates we used to get the ball rolling. The specifics will be fine tuned in the VERY NEAR FUTURE. We should resume meetings as soon as the rest of the Board returns from the Memorial.
Pizza God you can PM me for Sponsor Options. If anyone out there has potential sponsor info forward it to me and I will see they are taken care of. :cool:And yes Easy E it is a done deal...Announced yesterday at the PDGA summit :D

In that case, my first worlds!!! i'm stoked!! :D:D

excellent job all you twisted flyers!! :D:D

Why will it be in July instead of Aug like everyother year?



2003 in Kansas City was in July

Great news Joe,,, this will be my first worlds,, cant wait,, now if I can just get an invite....

Thats where the template dates came from! Good call! :D
Gary I am hosting 3 events in Oklahoma that will help you out! Your always welcome at Twisted Central! :cool:

It would be fun to play in OK. I'll have to see how my game develops this year. Hopefuly I'll be at pro worlds 2006 :D

what are the 3 events Joe???

July??? Sweet! July is WAY better for us school teachers...we're still on vacation. I might actually get to play one as long as it's not the last week of July.

Why will it be in July instead of Aug like everyother year?


Sean,

Am Worlds is usually at the end of July and Pro Worlds is usually at the beginning of August. It seems like there used to be a tradition where the winner of Am Worlds would then go play Pro Worlds as their first pro event, if possible. :) They swapped them this year because, IIRC, some kind of big event is happening in PA at the beginiing of August and hotels/whatever would be really tough to do.

In 2002 and 2004, when the Worlds were combined pro/am, there was obviously only one date instead of two.

Musikfest (http://www.musikfest.org/), a music festival in Bethlehem, occurs from August 5-14 and draws over one million visitors to the Lehigh Valley. It's best not to conflict with it.

DONNA SUMMERS!!!it just don't get any better :o :D

Unless of course its The Gap Band at the state fair!!! :cool:

lol :D

Joe,
Do yall know the exact dates for next year yet? I know it's far off, but I want to mark it on my calendar before anything else gets there (family reunions, etc.). I am guessing Mon July 24 - Sat July 30.

16 months to go!

Mohawk (new Course)
Copperhead Canyon
Broken Arrow (New Course)
Riverside (Juniors)
Haikey (juniors)
Chandler (original course, Juniors)

so 7 courses for all but juniors...

Just wondering - Where are the final's going to be played?

Just wondering should I stay down long enough to go to Tulsa? :confused: :confused:

Yes! Oklahomans take kindly to to baggers. See your role model Coda for some tips.

Ok will do. :D:DReally now my dad isn't going to Flagstaff so I will have to find my own way up there this year. I will probably fly up there and stay with deatra and hopefully I can find rides to the courses. :confused: :D:confused:

I will be there, at least I am planning on it. Getting 34th (tie) out of 261 players at an A-tier should get me an invite.

Maybe by that time I will be a big as a bagger as Scoot_er and place better then I just did at World Dubs /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Why thank you. :D:D

no way your still playing ams in 06 kiddo!!

no way your still playing ams in 06 kiddo!!



He will probably pull a JJ, play in open and deny cash just so he can get an Am Title.

Pull a JJ?

I'd like to see someone try! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Envy Green is not a pretty color to wear :eek: :D

Heck, by the way Scoot_er is playing right now he should be pro by then.

I am not envious, I just want to play a singles worlds and do well before I move up. I have only been playing a year, so I have no basis for envy. :p

Hey there will be someone down the line that pull something even bigger than what JJ did last year; the question is just when it will happen. I plan on declining cash in open pretty soon but I doubt that I will do it until 06 worlds but you never know. :D:D

you have already declined cash in an a-tier (texas states) and didn't you take cash in a non sanctioned tourney?? :Dthe kid is currently pro caliber!!

Scooter, just out of curiousity do you really think that colleges look at the amount of money a pro receives through the PDGA? I highly doubt it with only about 10 or 11 pros making over 10K a year.

No they really don't and there shouldn't be a problem in turning pro but I won't worry about that until after worlds this year.
Hey Girlie I there is some freak thing thatv happens and the JJ thing happens will you give me a dollar? :D:D

... this issue has some new "smack" to it ... if you're referring to NCAA eligibilty in Sports , check with Thomas Lowry , PDGA # 2446 ... he's also the TD of the JDGF series and is running one in Texas this weekend ... he recently reported some changes in NCAA policy at an Okla.City event ...
.
... before you take "dollar one" : find out from Thomas ...

so 7 courses for all but juniors...


.
... or 8 if we need ... we've got "bunches" ; and most are being up-graded -or- have plans to within a year ...
.
... also on the planning stages : Mohawk Park : 18-holes (possibly 36) ... O'Brien Park : 18-holes ... Centennial Park (Owasso) : 18-holes ... and there is a new course (equipment already bought and here in a warehouse) going in Claremore ...
.
... Disc Golf Mecca of Tulsa , Ok ... :cool:

I think George Strait was singing about disc golf in that song of his..."Tell me something bad about Tulsa"...I have only gotten to play two of the courses there, but I can safely say that they were both awesome. I need to get back there sometime and play again, besides next years' worlds! Kudos to you guys for all the hard work getting so many great courses in.

... thanks from all of us , Derek ... :cool:

Any Motor Oil at this event?????????????? :D

... motor oil (?) ... antifreeze (?) ...
.
.
... :D... you must have been to the "World Famous" Riverside Glide ... or ( more recently ) The Haikey Creek Classic ... :D

... some of the new holes at Chandler Park (to be included in a layout for the '06 Worlds) will be revealed this weekend at "The Chandler Tornado" PDGA event ... otherwise known as "Chandlerstock" because it features all-weekend camping for the Disc Golfers only ... sweet ... :cool:

... and today is : "Chandlerstock Eve" ! ... we'll try to have that added to calendars nationwide by next year ... :D

... as this year's AmWorlds (Arizona) winds down , a liitle update on what will obviously be a World-Class AmWorlds in 2006 ... this '05 season has seen accelerated activity for PDGA points ... Players everywhere have been accumulating points at a feverish pitch ... there are still some great Events upcoming on the '05 schedule ... enter , participate , earn points ...
.
... it is only fitting that the 2006 PDGA AmWorlds be held & hosted in Tulsa , Oklahoma ( July 24 - 29 , 2006 ) ...
.
... after all , the first City anywhere in the World to have 5 permanent Disc-Golf Courses was TULSA , OK ... ( way back in 1981 ) ... and the recent expansions & additions continue ... :cool:

congrats tulsa!

i might even come out of retirement just so i can crash at twoputts house for the event. i hear he makes some killer eggs and coffee.

... TwicePutt's Cafe ... keyword here being "killer" ... :o

i just wanna see him in an Okie apron:

http://www.custardpie.co.uk/images/24/sheep_big.jpg

Dont count your states till the event know a bunch of golfers from North Carolina looking at being there next year.

... ALL NEW 2006 AmWorlds merchandise = on the horizon ... :)
.
... ALL NEW Disc Golf Courses and Layouts = on the horizon ... :)
.
.
.
.
... cool ... :D

Just wondering should I stay down long enough to go to Tulsa? :confused: :confused:



Ask yourself the question...should I play another year as a bagger just to get beat by another NC disc golfer, or should I go ahead and suck it up and try to win some cash this year?
You can still go to Tulsa and volunteer...

Well maybe if it didn't rain on my pool the 1st three rounds. :DThe courses in AZ were pretty sweet but Definantly more NC style than TX. BTW for anyone thinking of going to Tulsa I would definantly reccomend it. The courses are sweet and they run a very good event.

nice title

Well at least your a pro at making excuses.

as long as our dogs don't attack you. :D

I played well so it really isn't an excuse just a fact. I had my chances and didn't capitalize and Jack did so he outplayed me and deserved to win. :D

That dog isn't around anymore. :(

....my bad. :confused: just saw the other thread.

Oh :DYou playing the OO next year. I'll be there for sure.

.
.
... to the tune of $527.00 ... :D
.
... a great response from area Players ...

That's a great idea.

I'd like to order $50 to $75 in mulligans for worlds next year. :D

I'll buy $50 worth as well....

Testing 1,2,3. First time poster. I'm really looking forward to playing in Am Worlds in '06. Heck, I've never really been out of TX so that in itself is something to look forward to. Am playing Intermediate now so I better get busy if I'm gonna make a respectable showing in the Advanced division.

Hey Neal, how are the courses in your area? My brother in law lives in Orange and I'm constantly on his arse to get out and play. I'll eventually make it down there to visit at some point and would like to hit the local course when I do...

Come to Worlds, man...Tulsa disc golf ROCKS

... and it's a lotta 'cause of all these here "Oklahoma Peoples" we got 'round here ... /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

What about some info on the PRO worlds 06.....Tulsa's got it goin on....Already 9 pages and its 7 months away.

... 6 1/2 months will pass by before you know it ... :cool:

I'm originally from Orange and most of my family still lives there. You may know that Beaumont was "touchdown alley" for Rita. Our courses got hammered! We have 3 courses; Klein Park, Tyrrell Park, and Pleasure Island. Tyrrell park got the worst of it and is now missing 3 baskets and is simply too hazardous to play now. The other 2 courses are pretty cleared out now and are played on regularly. We've got a mini this afternoon in mid 40s weather. Pretty cold for this park of TX.

Yeah, he's stationed down there (Navy) and they kicked them out for a few weeks when that was rolling in. I'm glad to see you have THREE courses in that area, sorry to hear one of them's not playable right now.
I'll trade ya temps! The last couple of days we've been in the teens with wind chills under ZERO.

I cant wait since I missed last year.

... awright den ...
.
... you already know that January is scheduled out ...
.
... and that we're working on February ...
.
... and that the rest of 2006 is almost ALL BOOKED OUT ...
.
.
... here's another tid-bit to remind you all how close things are coming up on the Horizon : the PDGA Office reminded me last Friday that the "Wait-List" for the upscoming AmWorlds in Tulsa starts on March 1 , 2006 ...
.
... that's almost here already ...

wforest how do you get on the wait-list??? What do I need to do? :confused:

Matt once invites are mailed out those folks will have a certain amount of time to send in their $$$ than the PDGA will open up registration for folks that did not qualify. Not sure when that date is but once that happens all you do is send in your $$ to the pdga and you will get in.

Just for laughs since Im at work and everyone else is home asleep......what Big "D" throwers plan to make the trip to Tulsa and compete in the Distance competition...I hope whoever it is is throwin over 600'.....cause your gonna need it..... :cool:

I'll be there little one :o:o:o

So, who in Tylsa can put my son and I up for the week? We are trying to decide between the host hotel ($$$$$) and some kind individual. Any takers??

Jerry

Hey, Jerry. How old is Ian? My son Jarred is 12 and will be competing in <13 at Worlds in Tulsa.

Jerry, as it gets closer we will coordinate these types of situations. We have been discussing what we need for the juniors, such as rides, rooms, ect....

We will be making those discisions in Jan and Feb.

Hey, Jerry. How old is Ian? My son Jarred is 12 and will be competing in <13 at Worlds in Tulsa.



Ian will be 14 so it will be with the <16 crowd.

... today is the first Day of Winter ...
.
... Spring will be "sprung" in March ( just around the corner ) ... :cool:

Coming thru for one day. Would like to get to play the best courses in Tulsa. Which ones are the Tulsa favorites? Thanks.

My Tulsa Favorites are
Hunter Park,
McClure Park,
Haikey Creek Park,
Dovillio approx. 1/2 mile east of McClure
My pics anyway.
Several of these will probably be used for AM Worlds Also.
D.P. :D

Thanks Big Easy. Plenty to choose from. :D

See Jay..I wouldn't steer you wrong :D

Have a fun time in T-Town...

... 2006 ...


:cool:

... here's your thread , disctourer ...

I think I will be on the proverbial bubble when it comes time for invites, so I gotta get in on the wait list. Just put in the vacation request at work to give them PLENTY of notice.

... we've got Indians down here , too ... /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
.
.
... none of 'em are blue , though ... :confused:

:D

... as the "TD List" develops and e-x-p-a-n-d-s , it looks better all the time ...
.
... in actuality , for The AmWorlds (especially the size that '06 will be) , you get "Pro's running and TD'ing" the Event ... you need to accumulate a good number of these "seasoned individuals" ; anywhere from 20 to 30 bodies , to really get the Staff to flow smoothly ...
... all the "Am" Players in attendance will be indeed fortunate to have all these Great Players helping run their Event ...
. :cool:
.
.
... (but I can't reveal the contents of the "List" just yet) ...
.
... if I "named names" ; I'd be found floating in the River ... :confused:

Just a hint,

There's a difference between experienced golfers and experienced TDs.

... too True ... many "great-playing" Pro's are "quiet types" that don't speak out well to crowds ... and that's cool ... that's there personality ... they can be "super-nice" guys ; but we wouldn't thrust them into the position of public speaking ...
.
... on the other hand , the kind of individual men & women that we will be using do "carry a crowd" and will have the attention of the masses as they speak ... :cool:

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see the top pros out on the courses as assistants or spotters, but know from experience that the Course TDs needs to have experience running large events, making tough calls, and calming upset players. :cool:

... you are exactly korrect ... :D

i believe it will be a threepeat for NC....a few hot players coming out this year....watch out
and BTW...Which state has produced the most am world champions?

The same state that has the most sandbaggers.

You going Colin? I am!!! :o

Sure am. Probably the only worlds I'll ever get to go to. I just hope I can finish in the prize money. BTW, does anyone know what the entry fee is? Or what it was last year?

$110

Which state has produced the most am world (advanced?) champions?


NC with 3, but none in Advanced Master :confused:

Five states can lay claim to having produced Advanced and Advanced Master World Champions.
Arkansas /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
California :cool:
Ohio :eek:
Michigan :o
Texas /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Kentucky had a sweep in 2004 winning both Pro and Am titles in Grandmaster men and women. Minnesota has two Advanced titles with Timmy Gill in 1995 and Tim Schreder in 1999.

There will be a new state added to that list. NC shall be dethroned.

Michigan is going to be BRINGING IT to Tulsa. If I get on top of my game and can hit my lines and make some of my putts ill be up at the top for sure. From what I hear most people think there are only 4 or 5 people are are in contention this year :D

If a player from Alabama does what Pimp wants to do, you can add another person to that list, I am not talking about myself, I am talking about Zach Easterling, he is my main competition in this state. I am being realistic about myself, I just want to crack the top 20, maybe top 10 if I have a good week.

No love for juniors????

I wouldn't necessarily be looking at the guys with ratings over 950 or so right now. They may have almost peaked or are just slowly getting better. My money would be on someone who may only have a 920 rating right now but has been on a fast track to become a World Class player. Not sure who they would be, but that's where I'd be looking for potential contenders this time of year.

Sorry, I didn't pull the Junior (or Pro) stats.

When the next rating update comes, that'll be me. :eek:
But my money's on Billy "the kid" Lund. Kid has game, and can bust the 580fter when he needs to.

I've got a 915 rating, but I'm on a slow track backwards.

Oklahoma is FULL of BAGGERS!!! I'm guessing at least 5 Okies in the top 10.

Just look at what happened at the KC Wide Open (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=4640) last year.

I can't even beat Devan the Dude anymore. He may be a 1020 golfer by the time Am Worlds rolls around.

I've got a 915 rating, but I'm on a slow track backwards.

... c'mon backwards there Mr.Gary ... as you get even older , you'll find a bunch of us old-er guys you left behind long ago ... :D

Keep hanging on, I'm coming back to meet you. :cool:

Oklahoma is FULL of BAGGERS!!! I'm guessing at least 5 Okies in the top 10.

Just look at what happened at the KC Wide Open (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=4640) last year.

I can't even beat Devan the Dude anymore. He may be a 1020 golfer by the time Am Worlds rolls around.



7 Okies out of the top 10 at KCWO, not too shabby!!

You should know Kansas was winning that all 3 rounds. One bad round at the end - but yall know how that goes.

Kansas in 2006.

So, I have a question: Do they take all the 1000+ point players out of the top 20% when they make the rest of the invites?

There are 6 players in GA that have over 1000. Then I am 4th down on the list below the 6 players at 1000+, with 752. Does this make me in the top 20% for the automatic bid or will I need to try and get in on the wait list? Also, my buddy Matt was registered in MD all of last year but has switched his address with his re-newing of membership, does that mean he is a GA player for the Worlds or do they go on last years place of membership?

Thanks for all the answers.... :D

I doubt you have anything to worry about, do you really think that every AM player is going to be able to take a week off of work to play a tournament for plastic,a players pack and a trophy? I had about the same amount of points that you did last year and I got an invite but didnt go so I wouldnt sweat it, everyone on this board is talking about how all the TX players are going to fill up AM worlds but I seriously doubt it.Trust me, I hope that AM worlds does fill but there is a high chance that you will get in.

You should know Kansas was winning that all 3 rounds. One bad round at the end - but yall know how that goes.

What? You might want to go back and check out the scores again...I WAS LEADING advanced going into Sunday and there was no one from Kansas on my card. It was myself, Matt Hall, Ron Klein and a local KC guy named Joe. In fact I was on the lead card both rounds on Sunday. I doubt anyone from Kansas was even close to the first card :confused: :confused:

Nice try though :D

Could that Joe be this Joe (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/playerstats.php?PDGANum=24884) :confused: :D
And after a quick calculation, Joe was in 3rd behind Ron Klein and Devan Owens going into the final round. :o

I thought Joe was from KC, my bad...but he still was never "leading" the tournament.

You should know Kansas was winning that all 3 rounds.



Thanks for clarification on Joe's "1st" round...I did enjoy playing golf with him, I remember we both struggled on Sunday.

... but don't expect MC to "struggle" for too long ...
.
... his game is too "resilient" ... :D

Any ideas on a place to stay?
Please post or P.M. me.
Thanks !

... why yes ... best bet will be "Tournament Central" at our Host Hotel : The Holiday Inn ... everything will be focused in here ; and every "extracurricular activity" will begin and end from here ... all the Players will want to be at the "hub of it all" ...

Do any of you Tulsa guys know about some possible houses for rent for the week of Worlds?

We have anywhere from 6-12 guys that want to come up and would like to rent a house for the week.

Any ideas?

... my bet would be around the TU campus ... a big "college area" during Summer break ...
.
... "speaking strictly from a non-comprehensive point of view" ...

isn't there some by the Pepsi plant ;)?That way them Texas guys will fill at home :eek:.

That'd have to be a Dr Pepper plant :cool:

I'm on it, Adam...I'll let you know if I find any good deals on houses. I know it's possible to rent a furnished 2 bedroom apartment, if you want I'll look into that as well.

Adam,
You guys should try to find a shady realtor who knows of a house that is empty and on the market, but not scheduled to be shown during that time period. That way, they could just claim that some "vandals" broke into the place, lived there for a week, and trashed it. You wouldn't have to pay a thing! Hopefully the electricity and water would be on, but I could see how you might be able to get by without either. We're going to be a little cramped in the hotel room, but all six will have a spot to sleep. Hopefully we'll have plenty of room to play poker, but we'll see. $60/night for a large room semi-suite with 2 queen beds and a big sleeper sofa isn't too bad if you ask me.

ohhh.Derek...apparently you don't know what I do for a living..I have keys and access to foreclosed houses all over the state of TX and Oklahoma just to name a few...

They are required to have all utilities off though but there are ways around that always.

Either way I don't think you will see me taking that route.. :D

Thanks Mike..let me know if something comes up...I might check on the TU college housing idea also...don't need much except some beds, a kitchen and bath/shower

Copy that, Murph...I'll call my real estae agent, maybe he knows of some good weekly rental deals on a 3 bedroom or something. I'll keep ya posted ;)

Wayne - can't recall seeing Pearls in years (nasty stuff)...probably get some Hamms, Schlitz or Mickeys :D

Thanks Conners

I know that this is kinda late with what was first posted on here but with Worlds being in July it helps out so much. If it is in Aug I wont be able to come because we start school Aug 5 so when it is in July you can look for me there.

http://tulsadiscsports.org/

Justin- go to the link above. Click on the link that says 2006 worlds. It is also listed under PDGA tour at the top of this page.

I know about all this I�m just saying I saw a post at the beginning of this forum asking why the tournament was going to be in July and not August. I was just mentioning about how much better it is for the tournament in July because that�s still summer for me. I know its selfish thinking about why I want it in July just wanted to add in my 2 cents.

In that case, my first worlds!!! i'm stoked!! :D:D

excellent job all you twisted flyers!! :D:D

You won't be alone, Efrain. This will be my first Worlds, too. I got an offer from Dave McKinney to caddy for me if I pay his expenses. Darn Pros, it's all about the money!

Looks like Junior Divisions invites may have a problem with age groupings. I suspect the invites are based on 2005 age groupings, not 2006. I note several players that should be in an older division, including my son, are listed as qualified for last years age division.

... I'm sure that the PDGA office will have that sorted out ...

Courses are being delivered. :grin
Discs are being delivered.

That spare office is starting to look like Sam's club.
:o

This may be a dumb question, but it will be my first worlds.

Are actual invitations being sent out that give the registration information? Or is that all on a website somewhere?

The wait list for Am worlds begins today!

Wait list information (http://www.pdga.com/documents/2006/06WaitingListDetails.pdf)

We blocked off 332 rooms and all of their suites.
There are 82 rooms left.

Thank you

For those that have not made your reservations yet, I would suggest that you do so soon. This is where it will all be happenng, from registration, player events, player parties, ect,.......

There are plenty of additional hotels near by, but why do that when you could be at the Host Hotel? ;)

Me three!!!!

Neal,

After some discussion with David Gentry of the PDGA, it seems that the age division on the invite refers to last years age division (the division the player played in when they qualified) NOT the division they are eligible for at this years worlds. To find the division one is eligible for this year, one should look....well...nowhere.

It is not published. 2005 eligibility is published http://www.pdga.com/documents/05DivisionsGuide.pdf , so assuming nothing has changed, one could add a year to all the "born after" dates to determine 2006 eligibility. If one did that last year, they would have been wrong because there was a rule change. I don't think there is a rule change this year, but I'm no expert. As a last resort, one could call the office I suppose.

How about this table published on the site?
www.pdga.com/documents/td/06PlayerDivisionsGridFinal.pdf (http://www.pdga.com/documents/td/06PlayerDivisionsGridFinal.pdf)

Well that just answered my question I will be playing Jr under 19 so we will see how it goes does it look like this will be a good turn out division or what?

.
... division-eligibility & ages for 2006 AmWorlds are defined on the "Cover-Letter" going out with the invites ...
.
... side note: when they are received by "invited Players" ; they need to be responded to post haste ...

Thanks for publishing that link Chuck! Just out of curiosity, how does someone looking for that information by going to pdga.com arrive at the page you posted?

Going to pdga.com then clicking on "Rules" then 804.08 "Classification of Players" yields:

"PDGA divisional classifications are determined by the PDGA Board and the PDGA Competition Director. They are published each year in the PDGA membership/renewal forms and are posted online at:http://www.pdga.com/members.php "
which is the "Membership" link at the top of pdga.com.

From there, clicking "Classifications" leads to "2004 PDGA Tour Player Classifications &amp; Divisions" which is now wrong. Clicking "Divisions Guide" leads to "2005 PDGA Tour Player Classifications &amp; Divisions" - the link I posted earlier which is dated. Clicking "Divisions, Ratings, and Points Factors" leads to "2005 PDGA Tour: Table of Player Divisions, Ratings &amp; Points Factors" which is also dated.

A newcomer would find age division information very difficult to discover without Chuck's link - so thanks again :)for providing it

... side note: when they are received by "invited Players" ; they need to be responded to post haste ...



I already have the money ready, the day after I get the invite, it will be put in the drop box at the post office. Just playing the waiting game. :)

As do I.

My buddy tried reseving the room at the host hotel yesterday. All the grouped rooms were booked, we decided $82 per night was a little steep, the hotel next door was completey booked. So now we are staying at the Red Roof Inn about a mile away.

This is going to be huge, I hope no one is banking on the wait list. :eek:

Excited about seeing how many will be in their division. It would be cool if there were like ten of 'em!



Neal, It seems there are more juniors under the "50 most recent PDGA members" all the time. 10 competitors in each junior division would be fantastic and bode very well for the future of the sport!

how does someone looking for that information by going to pdga.com arrive at the page you posted?



Click on the Tour Information link in the box on the upper right side of the PDGA Home page. All of the links to documents relating to the current season are placed on one page each year like sanctioning, divisions, points, etc.

Thanks for the follow up!

I think you should've read your rule book before. Per the PDGA rules of play since at least the 1997 revision, and probably before that but I don't know for fact, you have had to have a supporting point in contact with the playing surface on the LOP and within 30cm of your marker. That is not anything new.

Jumping and then releasing was illegal before this latest rulebook came out.

I am sorry, I am sure this has been asked and answered, but I could not find it. When are the invites going to be mailed out?

You are right, the question about disqualifying a player who was drinking alcohol during a tournament was the most difficult question due to the wording of the available answers.

Either way I passed the test, so I do not know if I missed any or which ones I did miss.

But considering the courses we play on are on public parks where consumption of alcohol is illegal and posted, and considering all TD's I have seen have prewarned everyone about alcohol and drugs. If a player in my event was caught drinking during the tournament (start of players meeting to the finish of awards ceremony) on tournament grounds, then I would immediately DQ them.

But that is me. But within my power of enforcing rules.


Now back to Worlds Talk!

Steve Mills needs to be careful if any of these courses has trees. He can only play open courses. :D

But considering the courses we play on are on public parks where consumption of alcohol is illegal and posted



Just wanted to make this distinction (although I personally don't drink when I play). Consumption of alcohol is NOT illegal in ALL public parks in Oklahoma. Although I think the PDGA rules have been pretty clear in the past about not allowing alcohol consumption during a sanctioned event, there are many parks in OKC where consumption of alcohol is perfectly legal.
Sorry for the digression.

I don't really know what Wayne is trying to do here.

Nothing has changed in the rules about drinking or jump putts for many years. The 804.05 clarification is still in the tour standards document where it has always been. It still requires TDs to make a tournament rule against alcohol where it is otherwise legal.

The "Drinking-Light" is lit , fellers ... .



Well alrighty then......Just in time for Am-Worlds. :cool:

Looks like it's Beer Girls In Golf Carts for any course where Wayne is the TD. No wonder everybody loves that guy....Always putting the players needs in front and sticking it to the Man whenever possible. ;)

Roll out the barrel...We'll have a barrel of fun. :D

Oktoberfest at Am-Worlds is Von-der-barr!!!!

.
... exactly several of my points there ! ...
.
... ? why is a "rule" not "in the Rule Book" ? ...
... players carry and read a "Rule Book" ...
... players do not read or carry a copy of "standards" ...
... besides the fact that this "standard" applied to 2005 ...
.
.
... if it's illegal during Play ; if it's strictly prohibited in all cases and at all venues and on all Courses ,
. . . . . . . it SHOULD have been made a "bye-gawd" RULE ! ...
.
... ( not a suggestion ) ...

... by the way :
.
... the PGA -and- USGA -and- most any other "Sport Organization" specify all their "rules" and "standards" and "penalties" and "et al" in their Rule Book ...

Free the Budweiser!!!! :)

Beer Girls in Golf Carts Rule!!!! :cool:

I agree with your points, and said the same a few years ago.

The PDGA said it was a policy clarification, not a rule change per se.

... sounds "thin" , don't it ? ...

I don't claim to know why they decided to do it that way, but that was their answer at the time.

So I'll buy the Adv Masters all the beer they want to drink before,during and only one after the round at AM Worlds. ;)

so you drunk(potty mouth)'s will be jump putting all over the place. :DIs Arkie beer legal in OKie land?
