I've got a quick question. Can MA1 players register and play as open in tourneys without changing their amateur status? I understand that you can as long as you don't accept cash. (not that I'm good enough...just wondering)

Sure can and you can accept cash if it isn't sanctioned (i.e. Match Play this weekend where Shawn and Brice both moved to Pro and Shawn won it)

If you take the cash in a scationed event you are stuck in PRO

If you take cash in a PDGA event, you only loose out on playing any AM Majors like Worlds, World Doubles, and a few others.

But as long as your player rating is below 955 for Adv or 915 for Adv Masters, you can still play all the other tournaments.

That is how I played 2 advanced tournaments last year when my player rating was 950. I shot some good rounds last year and now I can't play Adv anymore.

But then I am happy playing Pro Masters now anyways.

BamBam Welcome to the OMB's officially :cool:

Whoops..I always forget about that new ruling ( which is another bad decision IMO)...seems that once you go Pro and accept cash you should not be allowed back to AM, but that is not how it is currently

Oh well.

Thanks for the update on Porter Bryan...I'll run by there are see how close they look to finishing up. Daylight savings is just around the corner and I wouldn't want Pat to just razz me for playing GB only :D

now you know darn good and well filthy feets wont give you a hard time about the two carrollton courses.. :D

That's right..he is too busy fielding fan and hate mail..

how can a few people be so concerned that they rating and ranking show up on the message board...who cares..play better :D

BamBam Welcome to the OMB's officially :cool:

Thanks Ray.... but I'm going on my third year of "official" OMB status, now.

Or were you just "officially" welcoming me? :D

he has no clue :o

I guess I can look forward to Alzheimer's setting in at 40. :confused: :D You old guys. . .

Alzheimers is no joke...though I know you were just kidding..

Alzheimers Bands (http://www.alzgw.org/)

A REASON TO HOPE

That's right..he is too busy fielding fan and hate mail..

dang you got that straight! more PMs for me today than since the board began. that thread went from 1 to 100+ faster than the OMB.v.YGB thread i think!

no waco for me. remodelling a bathroom.

just "officially" welcoming you

Watts get a clue you old fart :D

just "officially" welcoming you

Watts get a clue you old fart :D


Aahhh.. I figured as much :D

Thanks for the "official" welcome, I guess. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

tell me there isn't really an oversight director? :D

where is a list of the BOD members?

go fix your pisssaaaa and how do you stand on mispelled, provactive, but the same you would hear on your TV most of the time :confused: :o:D

Adam, are you typing under the influence again? :p

it is my intention to play in waco sunday.... looking forward to it actually....

there is an Oversight Director, who is charged with making sure the organization plays by its own rules (its constitution) and plays fair with its members.

there is no BOD member list that is readily available on the web. i've heard you can find something about the Spring Summit, and there is a list in there. but good luck on that one.

and..makes sense right?...or did you follow the other thread?...go to bed old man :D

If it makes sense on the OTHER thread , then maybe you should have typed it on the OTHER thread.

Or is that logic too old-fashioned for ya, young punk? :D:D

happy birthday bam bam

Thanks, Ryan!

Happy late b-day BamBam. I want to play Waco, isn't it just a 1 day? That would be cool, just ride down for the day, we should get a car pool going.

Thanks, Ryan!



Talking to yourself again?! :p

hey parker the tourney in Waco is Saturday, dont forget to turn the fan on :confused:

car pooling is great unless you have to play on a different course than the person you are riding with.

You can always find someone going to the other course or just swim across :D

I have never played Waco, I didn't know it was different courses. In that case i may just meet you guys there.

Never played Waco HUH?...wait until the Beast chews you up and spits you out...

if you shoot +15 in AM or even +20 that will be a good score on the beast. It can be brutal, but is one great course

Anyone playing Sunday? We are probably staying at Lake Whitney after the tourney and then driving home Sunday morning for some golf in DFW

I might be playing some golf Sunday. Let me know what you decide, and I'll see if I can join ya. This Saturday is the beginning of Spring Break! :cool: Disc golf season is right around the corner starting on my brother's b'day - May 24. :)

what time and where???

Will do Mark..I just told Josh I might try to meet up with him also so we can shoot and I can pick up my Aviar from the Las Vegas tourney.

yeah I'll be shooting somewhere on Sunday. Have to miss Waco this time around, but it is a crying shame. The BEast is one of the best courses anywhere.

hmm.... the more I think about it, the more I want to go :) Maybe I can make something happen if I can catch a ride. Money is tight after my LV trip (imagine that, huh?).

Money is tight after my LV trip (imagine that, huh?).



I thought you were supposed to come back from LV with more money. :eek:

Didn't you gamble and come home with more money that you went with? :D

last 3 times I went to Vegas, I came home with more gambling money than I left with, YET I came home with much less cash overall each time.

Those shows are just so darn expensive. Shoot, even the comedians were expensive. We tried to see Rodney Dangerfield and they were sold out, tickets were $80 each.

Best value for a show is Mystre (spelling???)

My favorate show in Vegas so far is Blue Man Group!!!!!!

I hope to see the new Beatles show at the Mirage next time I go to vegas next year.

last trip, I came home with quite a bit more gambling money than I had when I got there... this year.... not so much

I have to skip waco, and it sucks. my boss scheduled me to work at 6pm. its kinda risky trying to make it back to DFW in time.

You would be pressed to make it back and to work on time by then for sure.

signed up yesterday...Todd and I are in for sure...looks like Gary, Josh R. and Parker also. Andy are you going to make it? anyone else?

I think I will be able to go, I will know for sure tomorrow.

Pretty sure Duke is heading to Waco also...

bring that tag Gary :D

Why, did you get a new one I can take away from you ?

how much are these **** tags.... Im pretty sure that if I wait to challenge people till the second round I can walk away with 4 or 5 of you guys tags.... waco seems to have a track record of players getting drunker than usual between rounds....(this is a blatent fabrication but it supports my case so I will let it stand...) anyway.... I have never played any of these tag games but I might start this year.... :p

Steve, I am referring to the 2006 Tulsa Am Worlds Tags. They are $25.00 and will support worlds and gettting some more courses in the ground. Chris also has a bag tag challenge for the TX7 this year, but doesn't have them done yet and won't have them in time for Waco

You can only win/switch a tag with another one. You don't get to keep everyones tag if you beat them :D

$25. I think Dave Wise(TwoPutt) is the person tasked with distribution.

Texas 10 tags show membership more so than tag games. I for one am not giving up my #2 pro tag.

What good is a TX10 tag this year :Dit's the TX 7 now

Steve - this is what the Tulsa Worlds tags look like:

some pics of the discs I picked up in vegas:

murphy's aviar:

Ryan's Star-Wraith:
http://www.straightupgeek.com/images/gcc_s-wraith.jpg

and some minis I grabbed to support the tourney's added cash. I got 1 of each for myself, and 1 of each to sell if anyone is interested:
http://www.straightupgeek.com/images/gcc-mini-girls.jpghttp://www.straightupgeek.com/images/gcc-mini-sign.jpghttp://www.straightupgeek.com/images/halloween-mini.jpg

let me know if anyone wants one of the full-color minis ($10 each). the other two are spoken for.

I like my aviar...sweet!!!!

make up your mind on Waco yet?....

If y'all are making a day of it, driving down in the morning and back that night... and I can catch a ride... i might be able to swing it, although it's still looking bleak. I'd have to sleep on the ride to waco and I'm not sure how much I trust you guys being in a car with me while i'm sleeping :)

Well Todd and I (maybe Krell) are driving up that morning, but we are heading over to Lake Whitney after the tourney and staying the night out there for some more drinks and fun.

We are planning on leaving around 5:30 or 6am

that stamp is crazy cool. I think i may dye it too. then it will be badass. I should do a texas flag. haha.

So what is the final head count on YGB's/OMB's in Waco? Me, Leonel, Todd, Adam, Duke, Parker for sure, right? What about krell, Josh and Gary?

Gary and Krell for sure also..not sure about Josh R..Josh D is not going

We had 9 players last night at GB...good times...April is almost here!!

April is almost here, but my Spring Break is here. :cool: Too bad I have to play Mr. Mom again this Saturday, otherwise I would be in Waco. :( Good luck to all that are playing in the TX 7 event.

Were you able to get done before dark with that many? I wouldn't think there would be time yet. I didn't know you had started playing weeknights, i will have to join in next week.

We started last week with 4 of us and can finish just in time. Last night we only got in 12 holes. We started out with 7 people and the Lionel and his buddy Chris jumped in with us on hole #3

Andy - make sure you and Lionel get there before 8am if you guys haven't already pre-registered.

See ya manyana

I registered last night, but i was planning on getting there early anyway. Probably leave dallas about 6 or so. See you guys there.

We did quite well and Watts takes over the DFL Krell..though Brian even admitted that DFL Krell ryhmes better:

Leonol shot a +12 his first round on the Beast..!!!!

6 of us cashed...

Does Saturday call for a CH day or somewhere else?

Gary........I'm sorry but it is a bad day when Ben beats you, please tell me that he had that yapping dog with him to distract you :D. Nice shooting Smurph ;)

I was supposed to go out of town this weekend but that fell thru so I am ready to play wherever. I need to get some good golf in to make up for waco...

Jason... my first round was bad and the second i was having fun throwing my disc all over the place.
I am in on CH Saturday, sounds like a blast, casual golf here i come. :D

Works for me..just wanted to see if some others thought CH was good for Saturday. The weather is supposed to be awesome and I have some new Star Valks to test out.

I'll see if that works for Todd and Krell also.

So, what teams are heading down to Wimberly in April to do some bagging?

T&A, Parker and I, Jack and Kevin, you should find a partner and go.

Not me...don't have that much interest in Millenium plastic :D

actually just spending more of the tourney dollars this year on Worlds, Okie Doubles and A-Z doubles.

Last years winners who decided not to move up will be there with their sand :D

I am signed up already. Talked my buddy Mark into it...we even have caddies, I talked my college buddies into it. Of course we will be camping out...I know how you OMB's are you'll be off in your hotel room somewhere...so if you have a jacuzzi you have to invite us over for a dip.

I hear ya about the money thing Adam. I just got the bill for Cedar Hill, Zboaz and World Dubs...my wife was shocked :D. Still though you should re think, I would love to see team T&A there.

P.S. Gary, im not even bringing pants this time :eek: watch out.

Wow! I have a course directory and I highlight new courses when i play them but I have never actually totaled it up until now. I have played 46 different courses in 5 states in the less than 2 years i have been playing this sport. I wouldn't have thought it was close to that much.

will you be riding with me to CH this weekend Andy?

Way back in this thread somewhere is my total courses played and a list as well as Bryan James list...think I was around 80 or so

CH looks good for us...what time?

Any weekday golfing this week?

Want to compare notes ?

Last time I checked it was 250+ in 35 states.

9ish, and no golf this week for me, i have got to find my game before the weekend. :confused:

Probably easier to find it on the course than at home :D

wow, Duke, you get around

That would be fine Gary, what time are you going to pick me up? I am in the same complex now but a different appt., so call and i will geve you directions. What is the plan for lunch?

I seem to have missplaced my game as well. Dr. Betsy is helping me out with this weeks radio news though. So watch out world. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

andy i will be there at 830 if we are playing at 9, smurf let me know if 9 works for you guys. and what about lunch...?

On the off chance that I could go...you guys would be playing from 9 till when?

I used to spend about half the year on the road. I always mapped out day trips to the courses within 300 miles on the weekends. I would normally hit 4 or 5 each weekend day, and the ones closer in on the weekdays.

Still need to get to Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Alaska.

andy i will be there at 830 if we are playing at 9, smurf let me know if 9 works for you guys. and what about lunch...?



9 works for me...want to eat at the course or run up the road inbetween rounds?

We still have alot of hamburger patties from the last time we cooked out there

i say we cook there, and OJ we will be there all day

Think Hosher will bring out the grill again? That was the best way to eat lunch out there...talk him into getting some brats again! HMMM

Heading to Porter after work to see what is done. Someone told Todd in Waco the construction was done...have to see the place

i will talk to him and see what he thinks

Porter is not finished!...though it looks like they are getting closer #1-#6 are still covered up.

Most of the course looks the same at this time, besides #5 missing a few on the other side but with more OB and #17 w/o any trees on the right and more OB. That hole will become much easier

#6 has a whole new backdrop..but the same tree to the left of the basket (still covered up with trash bags)

The pond is full and the water is cold! :D

i would love to meet up, but my paintball team has practice, saturday or sunday. not sure yet. i cant miss that.

we grilled out at CH on monday, and it was amazing. playing dubs and cooking out, it was great

hey parker are you out there??? you need to respond to the pm i sent you..

Did you win another CFR raffle Duke? Isn't that 3 now?

Looks like Ray won also

Casey - tell him to get off the baskets :D:D:D

http://myspace.borrowedcontent.com/hosted/ish_style.jpg

It's also the second time that I've won something I bought the week before.

It pays to buy a couple of CFRs from a lot of different tournaments (and a whole lot from a couple of big ones). I probably bought 100 CFR discs since they started the program. I've only sent in about half of my certificates. I am running out of room to store all of them though.

I probably bought around 70 CFR Wraiths by now...a few Tulsa CFR discs..one from Cali and one other I recall.

I have mailed all mine in except for 3 more from some CFR I got from Twisted Flyer the other day

Casey - tell him to get off the baskets :D:D:D

http://myspace.borrowedcontent.com/hosted/ish_style.jpg

That basket looks like its already suffered enough, will do. :D

CH at 9am on Saturday.

9am is just too early for me on a saturday =\ I am up until 2:30am or so every friday night... if I get to sleep sooner, I'll see if I can make it.

Hey I got a DVD. Woo Hooo! I want the partner Pack if I get lucky enough to win again :D

hey BBD keep you personal problems to yourself. :o

Come out for the 2nd round Josh...we will be there all day

he may be hanging with that sissy krell

Maybe they can hop in the grandma mobile after Josh gets up and Krell stop spotting :o

Check out this guys sidewalk art...it is amazing:

sidewalk art (http://www.impactlab.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=7567)

Wow, that is some insane skills.

simply AMAZING art. What time is the second round gonna start? After lunch?

When we are done with the first one and eat lunch, drink CFO's and relax...just give us a call....

Got a job opening JJ? :D

No more government holidays for Murphy..exposing the ignorance of the staff will get you fired :D

amazing sidewalk art

scores? :)

parker and i win doubles saturday and one round on sunday, second round tie for first.

US government 1, Murphy 0

:D:mad:

I may be following you, Murphy. I recently decided someone had to point out the mistakes being made by managment at my company, I will just have to wait and see how that turns out.

if so your house will be clean in 2 days...all errands run...golf already played and bored instantly

Thanks to all of you for support and ideas on getting back on the payroll...Don't let me golf with Parker for the next year :D

Kidding of course...Steve..we better see some daytime golfing..

#$*&$! of a HUD biggie and you pay...I will get a better job and a better golf game...

now to work on keeping all those government holidays :o

Being unemployed is great huh murphy, Im going on 2 weeks myself. :mad::confused:

Yeah..and when it rains it pours. Disc Golf and one huge extended family lost a great friend in OKC yesterday - Jeremy Martin.

I will not be in town this weekend to golf with you guys. I will be heading to OKC on Thursday and probably stay all weekend long for services and friendship.

See you all after that.

May play tomorrow around 5:15 or so if you are up for it Watts and anyone else.

if it is not raining then i will be there.

Where are you playing? If i can break free from work a little early i would like to join.

GB or Porter...one of you guys let me know

GB at 5ish, parker come on out and join us, we need to practice.

I'll see you there

my membership and subsiquent posting rights are no longer being held hostage.... I am back !!!!!!!!!

There goes the neighborhood

again.

So if it doesn't rain...is anyone playing tomorrow morning?

I'll be planting trees in the morning.

Crawford park mini is now Saturday afternoon. Not sure of the start time.

PLANTING TREES !!!!!!!!!!!

no wonder Crawford Park is taking so long....

you should be cutting trees DOWN, not planting them !!!

Kind of ironic isn't it ?

We haven't cut many live oaks at Crawford, and that's mainly what's going into my backyard on Saturday.

Looks like 2 YGBs are no longer Baggers.

Congrats Nate and PT for your cashing and taking the Cash at World Dubs this past weekend :eek: :cool:

Alternating kept you from cashing bigger. Did you guys 3 #18 on either course?

AHHH...so they did take the cash??..I was wondering if they would...no more AM for them or are they below the 955 mark?

Had a rough weekend with my friends funeral services and all, but we played a memorial doubles round after the services and started on hole #1 with Daryl Johnson and Jason Schwake (one of Jeremy's brothers) and my partner Greg and I.

We were the last group to finish and I had the whole parking lot watching us as I ACED the final hole. Not the best shot int the world but Jeremy helped throw it up in the bucket for me!

We both took the cash and sucked horribly the second day all the way around. Threed 18 on the shorter course the first day and had a put to three it the second day but we both missed the putt. I played HORRENDOUS the second day and we still took cash. That was encouraging enough to take the money. Thanks for the congrats though.

congrats

Where is Saturday's round going to be this week since the monsoon season looks like it actually might skip a weekend?

Watts - still on for a round tomorrow? How about you Parker?

Anyone going to Red Rock this weekend????

autoban for the weekend, what time on saturday?? sunday will be at 830 and parker you have to be there on sunday to take on jack and kevin, no golf on thursday but will be in on Friday for sure.
Pizza no go for me.

I am in for sunday for sure... can also play thursday and possibly friday.....

9 or 10 works for me on Saturday at the BON...and I think I am out for tomorrow also, but Friday for sure as well as all weekend.

Bryan - I'll get back with you tomorrow..thanks

You really need to make it out to Crawford Saturday for the mini. Not many weekends left to practice before Mace's event out there.

a morning round at the bon, then over to crawford? could be doable for me. what time is the mini?

Gary, is the course marked??????

Are all the baskets in yet????

The course is flagged, I think all of the baskets will be in the ground before the mini. There is still at least one tree that is planned to come out on 18, and a bunch of limbs on 13's blue fairway. I'm not sure of the status of 14 and 15's fairways, but there are alternate tees for both that are already cleared.

I'll give Stick a call and find out when the mini starts.

They showed Audobon park on the news sunday night and basically the whole park was under water.

I am out for this weekend. Heading down to Austin to see some family for the weekend.

Thanks for the congrats. It was a lot of fun and an asswhooping at the same time. Great experience.

Congrats Adam on the Ace, sorry to hear about your friend.

I played Audobon Tuesday. It was pretty playable. All the baskets on the back 9 were full of sticks and debries. Me and Dieter had to pull all the crap out of each basket. Pretty WILD. Me and my boy will try to get out and join you fine gentlemen this Sat. Later

Me and my boy will try to get out and join you fine gentlemen this Sat. Later




You must have the wrong thread..fine gentlemen :D

Thanks for cleaning up the baskets..can't believe the water gets that high out there also...wonder what GB looks like then :confused:

Adam,
GB is fine; the water is a-flowin' but it's not that bad...you just can't short-cut across the creek along the rocks right now. By the time the weather is nice again, it should be all back to normal.

By the way, what's JP like? I thought I heard some stuff about some baskets not being in the ground currently due to construction? Or are the holes just a little obstructed right now?

You can play holes #7-#16 at JP...the rest are still in the ground but are covered up due to the construction...the park is starting to look real good, but I don't presently see any paths except one to cross the newly made creeks..going from #5 to #6 will be a chore unless something is put in.

They have some more work to do so that may be part of it.

Was the water back to clear at GB?

Gary W, I think you will want to come by Crawford Saturday. I've got some new discs you might be interested in.

TeeRex????

What time is the mini at Crawford?

I don't think a T-Rex is at the top of Gary's list. I know he will be able to use a 168 fadin' onion.

hey dude i will not be able to make it to the mini, play at the bon all day, you can save that onion for me, i have a 175 that i will trade, onion that is.

Bon on Sat? What time?

TEE-REX is the BOMBBBBBB. It makes me happy ;)I am in on the 'Bon at Sat!!

tee at 10am saturday
tee at 830am on sunday

If you are going to play Mace's Apr 15 event, you need to get a look at this course. Saturday at 2:00 PM for the mini. Saturday early (well, 10:00ish) for the work day.

Gary..I hope to bring at least Krell and myself out for the mini...can you give me some quick directions from the BON to Crawford?

Thanks

see you guys at 10am at the BON

Hate to hijack the thread but David and I will be in the D/FW area this weekend and I was thinking about playing Cedar Hill because I've never played there. Where exactly is it and what is it like? Thanks!
Susan

Susan - I bet you can get directions off the course directory, but the course is south of 20 on 67...exit Mt Lebanon and turn right..follow the road to the White Mansion and turn right again...course will be on your right about 1-2 miles down the road..

Amazing courses...very tight course on the Coyote and the Beaver is a little more open. Long holes and short.

What day will you guys be playing?

I would think the easiest route would to take 635 east/south to Elam Rd. That's past US 80 and one exit past Lake June Rd.

Thanks Duke..I finally went and found it on one of the threads last night...we will be there providing the herd golf this morning doesn't run too long

If not we might just show up to play either way

well, Gary McD and Pat made it out. I didn't see any of the YGB/OMB Crowd

We had 10 people for the first round and didn't finish until 1:30.wouldn't have made it on time so we had lunch at the BON and 5 of us played some singles after that

man i played the bon today. farway aced hole 3 almost aced hole 9. the best part though were the champion tbird and firebird andjls i found on 5. :Dshari said she would listen to any reward offers. :D

5 must be giving up the plastic..Nate found 2 discs in there yesterday besides his own

one of these had watts name on it :D:D

Justin - I didn't have a KC Teebird at the house for you, it was a KC Firebird :eek:

Frank...were the discs old school Champion plastic or the newer CE's?

Watts probably lost that today out there...they played at 8:30am

new stuff

Well one of them is Gary's from today and the other may be Jack's also. I doubt either of them was throwing the JLS..

they were laying right there :o

WAY TO GO BEN...2nd in the Hillclimber...one stroke from 1st and that Arredondo cat you crushed has been playing for years (bagger - move the #$*&$! up)...glad to see you shoot well Ben!!!!!!

Watts..tomorrow at GB..5:15 if you are in..Todd, Krell and I..

anyone else?

Frank and Gary both walked away from discs across the creek (in plain view) on hole 5 I beleve it was......

how about you Steve..in for a round tomorrow evening?

who is up for the JDGF at Z-Boaz this week that isn't heading to Nakedroaches :confused: :D

no frank didn't :eek: that's where i found them.

yep.... I am up for a round this afternoon....

thanks for getting my disc frank, the firebird is Jack Tabor's not sure about the JLS. If i dont have to take my daughter to practice i will be there, and if it is not raining. Frank what time did you guys get there? we left at noonish.

No worries...I need to wean myself from them anyway. I don't like using discs i cannot easily replace.

How long will it take to get in a round at GB tonight?

this isn't Frank but we were there around 11:00

We will most likely tee real close to 5:30 and play until we can't play anymore...it will be dark at about 6:45 or so and 3 of us have finished a full round out there, but either way we can shoot some golf and enjoy the weather..

No rain today Gary! :D

We were at Cedar Hill Sunday morning. Played one round there, lost a disc in the water and left. Didn't play the second course because I was not interested in it. Not really sure I like that place. Drove on to Lewisville and played there. Sorry we didn't see any of you this weekend. Hopefully some of you will head to Tyler and I'll see you there. Thanks for the directions, it helped!
Susan

Can't believe you didn't like it...must have been the lost disc :D That is definately 2 of DFW's premier courses and one amazing piece of land...

Hoping to make Tyler for the TX7...we'll keep you posted

I might show at GB if my Denton afternoon round falls through.

You're probably right, that was my favorite disc. I also felt a little creeped out about that whole place. I promise I'll give it another try. And if anyone happens to go scuba diving in that pond, let me know if you find my pink JLS!

Hope you do make it down, haven't seen you in....wow a long time. Try to get Brian to come, haven't seen him either.

I also felt a little creeped out about that whole place



Sue your going to have to explain that one, I don't get it

me either, that is one sweet set of courses.

she probably saw you lurking in the woods out there and did not realize it was you Frank......

:D

Happy Birthday Casey - hope you are enjoying YOUR day!

Had a good time yesterday at McKinney playing 2 rounds and at GB on Monday. We had 8 people for doubles and split into 2 cards. Scores showed we haven't been out there much lately ( -7, -7, -5, -2-omb's :D)

Can't wait until next Thursday when we can all play in a group and the sun will be up an hour longer. We also met another new golfer out there: Patrick. He just moved here from Texarkana and hopes to come shoot with us sometime soon

Duke,

What type of discs did you win from the drawing? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Both of you won again? Geesh...I have over 70 entries in there...I want some more goodies :D

I'm glad you guys watch that to let me know when I've won something. I've got a stack of 50 more entires waiting. I want to add in the last 8 CFRs that I bought before I mail them in.

I need to mail in my latest entries also (Japan Open and CE Rocs). Any idea what type of disc is the Champ signature disc. :confused:

It's cool to find out you won when you get a QuantumView mailing e-mail :cool:

I think I have a couple at the house from my partner packs from last year. I don't remember what mold they were.

Thanks Adam. Only 10 years till OMB status :D. Just caught a round at the lake and headin to Denton after lunch.

Andy - are you still thinking of playing the JDGF event this weekend?

anyone up for a round tomorrow..my interview got cancelled :(

No, I am out this weekend. My Dad asked me to come over saturday morning to help him build a patio cover. :(

It has been so long since i got to play i don't know if i even remember how to throw a disc, but i am in for next thursday for sure.

Gary, do you know when the minis are supposed to start back up in McKinney?

I ain't Gary but next Wednesday, April 5 Is what I've been led to believe.

How about around 8 in the morning at Mckinney if no rain??? I talked to Gary, he said it depends on the rain but he might be in. Let me know...

Im in for some golf tomorrow. Only good thing about being unemployed is how much my golfing has increased.

hey i'm having a raffle for a champ. firebird and t - bird :D

How about around 8 in the morning at Mckinney if no rain??? I talked to Gary, he said it depends on the rain but he might be in. Let me know...



out on that PT..too early...I am not going to fight traffic to get there that early...I will probably shoot for a mid-day round somewhere

hey i'm having a raffle for a champ. firebird and t - bird :D



Both used ...hmmm..$5.00 total and I'll give them back to Gary and Jack :D

we will be looking for you next weekend Frank...

Good Luck to you OMB's this weekend in NakedRoaches :D Looks like a great OMB field and good luck to PT in his first Pro Singles event after placing at World Doubles

Still not sure on JDGF

I'm not sure where "Naked roaches" comes from...but I would definitely call it Nac-a-nowhere.

That is what my buddy from East Texas (Henderson) always called it :D

Good luck to you also Nate if you are heading out there!

allright 5 bucks but the reserve has not been met yet. :D

anybody play GB or JP lately? are those courses still in the ground? ps YGBs suk.

of course they are still in the ground OMB..GB is perfect and just freshly mowed..Porter has the back side playable and still under construction on the front, but it will be much better..they didn't move too many of the trees..just hope they make a few bridges to get back and forth across

Bryan J...when was the CCCC?...we found some old video of the tourney when Mitch Mac was ruling with Clint right behind him and Sayre in 4th..3rd was an Austin guy..

murphy, you gonna be looking for a round during the day friday? I'm pretty sure I'm going to be sick and sleep in a bit :)

Hey team Watts/Parker...you guys gonna be down to warm up next Friday afternoon? Jones/Arner is leaving about 6am...get there, set up camp, play golf drink beer (or some other order).

Porter has the back side playable ...

who's Porter, and why do you have to bring Watts's perversions into this?

You know what else i just realized...Next Thursday I am hooked up for playing golf too...as soon as I leave work...3pm to dark...Murphy...where are we playing? :)

Looks like we are starting off daylight savings at GB next week..I will meet you out there early if you want on Thursday..I am sure Parker and Watts will be up for that also

Josh - sounds good...just got moving around..have to call a job interview back and was thinking of running to the Colony or something close besides GB or Porter ( that is JP for you filthy feet)

1st, sign at Porter still says it is closed, however, rec players have torn off all the garbage bags covering the baskets and there has been players out there every day this week.

2nd Carrollton Charity Cup Classic ran in 93-95 for sure. In 96 it was held in Lewisville and coppell. Then in 97 Tim retired from TD'n and I started the Carrollton Open later in the year.

Before 93 it was called the Circular Sky's tour over Carrollton, and before that it was called the Texas State Championship. (one year it was the Pepsi Texas State Championships)

I played my first tournament in June of 1988 at the Texas State Championship. John Houck was the TD. (I had purchased my first golf disc in April)

I got on TV at the 1989 Texas State Championships, both the night before the tournament (John gave us all colared shirts to wear and we just walked around throwing a few discs) I was used in the teaser. I made a straddle put from in some trees to a basket about 45 ft away. It took me about 10 tries to make it. My personalized, homemade disc golf bag was also used by the reporter when he was showing the basics to the viewing audiance. This may have been the best news coverage of disc golf I ever remember.

On Sunday, another new crew showed up and filmed us on a few holes. They showed me throwing a roller. (thankfully they didn't show me throwing it into the creek) Somewhere I have a video tape of those two that I recorded.

------

We instaled Porter in 93, the back side was instaled right before the CCCC. I remember because I had just purchased the North Carrollton Store and I brough out drinks and pizza for everyone worked on clearing those back holes.

In March or April of 93 I had handed Tim $400 for a hole sponsorship. Two weeks later I had purchased the North Carrollton Store,partly because there were going to be two disc golf courses there. (I had a chance to purchase afew other stores like Red Oak, but turned them down because there were no Disc Golf coruses around.)

The CCCC used something that has never been used again.

3 flights using two courses. Every 1 1/2 hours a flight would start. This gave us time to get cards done. CCCC was the 1ST ever A-tier tournament. (and alot of the reason the A-tier got started) I have some of the books from that tournament that Tim gave me to see how to budget a tournament.

Back then, the City would give $2,000 plus 20x20 tents at both courses PLUS would pay for port a potties.

When I first started, they would give me the tents and port a potties, then just the port a potties, now they just let me run the tournament.

BTW, the CCCC always gave the proceds to Operation Kindness, a no kill animal shelter.

Joey can also thank Tim for teaching him how to run tournaments. They spent a lot of time talking and Tim telling him how to do it.

Waco may be the only tournament RUN by the SAME TD for longer than I have run the Carrollton Open. I can't think of any others in Texas or even Oklahoma who has put in 9 years in a row. (this year 10)

I can't decide if this will be my last one or if I should just keep going just for the heck of it. I am tired of running it personally.

----

opps, I started rambling again :D

The video we have is of the CCCC and it was held at both GB and JP that year...the video of the final 4 Pro's was being held at JP...Mitch is wearing a lovely shirt saying "that wasn't my fart"... :D

Yes you should run the MJCO again. I have offered my help 2 years in a row and you have not returned my messages regarding it. I also don't want to run any tournies as 24 tournies in 2 yrs wore me out instantly. I would rather give back to golf in other ways.

We have been talking about raising some funds for benches at GB or JP..probably best to wait until all construction is complete, but if you have played Dolese in OKC in the last 4yrs you can see all the benches I put in. 4yrs later only one has been actually ripped up and will have to have the top replaced, but the legs aren't coming out of the ground.

All for the Benches, however I think we need to get Tee Pads first.

I have not talked to the city about Jimmy Porter in several months. I have no idea if they plan on putting any type of bridges out there. i doubt it. However, if the water is low, you can cross pretty easily from what I can see. Maybe a few stepping stones cemented down in the dry months would do it for most of the year. (if we can get away with it)

There are three ways you can help with the Carrollton Open.

1st, help find some sponsorship.

2nd - run Jimmy Porter durring the tournament

3rd - help HQ by selling discs between round and helping with score cards.

I think I am going to change up the way I do score cards this year. I am going to have the players write there names on the cards like Texas 10's do. This would help get things done quicker between rounds.

Either that, or I might find a something to print out score cards for each round (ie lables)

Gary, you out there. Is there anyway you could incorporate that into your program??? I will look around for some lables that would work next week. I know Avery 5160 lables could work for 2 names per lable. I wand to see if I can find a label big enough for 5 players names and be big enough to line up with the score boxes. (I can always print different score cards)

I just want to get away from all the organizing the score cards between rounds. I takes more time to do that than anything. However, I may just do it again. I think I might start a poll to see what players think.

Going from Hole #5 to #6 at JP right now will be a mess..there isn't a way across besides the water and the bottom is still dirt instead of concrete...some stepping stones would be great..

Tee pads are a little out of the realm of what the YGB/OMB's probably can raise this year on Thursday's, but 18 benches runs around $500 and the labor is free. I was able to install all 19 at Dolese in about 2 weeks with the help of the rest of the Aceholes.

I don't think I will leave any benches unpainted this time though as they have become graffiti benches and don't look as nice as they did originally.

BTW, there is over $800 in the Carrollton Course fund right now.

How much was the cost per tee-pad?

Cement is something like $90 per yard, it takes 3 yards per tee pad. The city would do the labor if we paid for the material. (at least that is what he told me a few years ago. I have been saving up ever sence)

Hey murphy, what time are you guys playing today? It looks like i may be able to skip out of work a little early and the weather is great for a round. Call me if you get this before you play.

I miss disc golf, i have had to take a break from everything that isnt work right now. because im in debt. :( no good. Im looking for a job that pays me enough that i can move out and support myself, and take night classes to have schooling to fall back on. $6/hr isnt enough, and it sucks. I have a few options like the possibility of an HTML job in richardson. with harte-hanks. Anybody have an inside leads for a M-F job that can get me going? it would be greatly appreciated. ill be back on the course soon enough! i cant wait

whatever happened to dan roark playing d.g. or just helping you with the tourny?

Any skills Ryan?...I could teach you my old job in a few days and they are paying $13.00-$15.00 an hour...

Frank...we are heading to Crawford in the morning (10am) if you would like to join us..haven't seen you on the course in a long time..

also looks like one great OMB field for World Doubles next weekend..Good luck to you two and Parker/Watts

Now one of you guys go get that $1500 this weekend

Duke..how about a map if you have time..or at least direct me from #9 to #10..is the course marked off at all?

Crawford information

http://www.crawforddiscgolf.com

I need to update the map, and Stick is getting the correct coordinates Saturday at the mini. All of the baskets are in the ground. Holes 13, 14, and 15 may not be playable yet.

Hole 16 is the one across the pond (labeled 17 on the current map). Go left from the basket and down the trail to find hole 17's tee boxes.

gotta work sat. i'm almost done with the project i'm on and i'll have my sat. back

That map shows hole #1 only...guess we will wing it

are there 18 baskets in the ground????

which direction do I head from hole #9 to get to #10????

Are the teepads marked out at all??? flags??? ect???

I forgot to say use netscape to view the map. MSIE has a problem rendering the points and lines.

The map is basically correct now.

By the mini Saturday, all of the tees that are playable will be flagged, and red, white, and blue ribbons will be tied in the trees indicating which way to go from the basket to the next tee.

Will you be able to make the mini???

What direction from 9 to 10???

I think I killed netscape off my computer...if not maybe Krell can bring it up in the morning

www.getfirefox.com (http://www.getfirefox.com)

go get FireFox (the latest version of Mozilla, which is what Netscape was) and join the modern world :)

I'm in for tomorrow, assumming I can wake up. Cya there.

There's not much choice after 9. You go left.

What is your old job? I am good with microsoft office, and I know HTML. Great communication skills as well

my cell is 214-251-9950

Saturday at Crawford was awesome...I still enjoy the front nine from many months back when Todd and I were out there and it is cleared up even better, but that back nine is amazing. There are some great elevation shots out there and I almost aced on of the new holes that wasn't even cleared out yet. Lionel, Todd, Josh, Krell and I all came out for the round and Rick and Evan hopped in to make a fun round.

Sunday we played GB and then went to shoot the backside at Porter. All the baskets had their bags removed from them and there were tons of players shooting the entire course, so we followed that lead. There isn't a way to go from #5 tee to the basket w/o walking across the water, but I am sure in time we can correct that.

Ryan - I was the Property Preservation Manager for my company. It really just entails memorizing and utilizing HUD regulations on properties in default. Tons and tons of work on a daily basis and it never slows down. I know my company pretty much hired directly through Monster.com, but if you throw a few key words on the resume they would probably call you in. I know they haven't filled the position yet as of today.

whatever happened to dan roark playing d.g. or just helping you with the tourny?



Dan has let me use his tables (which are still in my garage) I have not talked to him sence November. He had been working on a book about his family in East Texas that was about to be published. I don't know if he is working right now.

As far as helping with the tournament, he has been unable to for the last several years. He is on kid duty and his wife frowns on disc golf.

i finally got to crawford, and ytes it has potential. but honestly, it isnt even a disc golf course yet. hole 1 is ok. and theres a couple other holes that are sorta getting there. but there are some that are just atrocious, and need major cutting. how you would play 18 out there right now is beyond me. sorry if that offends anyone - thats not the point. there is awesome potential. but dont think its anywhere near to being a playable course yet.

I seem to remember a few other courses in the area looking like that when the first rounds were played on them.

All of the places where you think there are too many trees are places where we already took out 80% of what was there. We decided to let the others sit for a while and see how it played. There are still places where we were unable to get the city to haul off the trees. They got a little tired of doing it after about the 30th flatbed full of cuttings. We do not have access to a mulcher, so now some stuff just has to sit of the fairways. The time of the few that work has been spent designing cutting and tweaking what is there.

Based on what was there and the manpower available, the course has progressed dramatically. Yes, there is still a lot of nice things that need to be done, but the first thing is still the next 9 holes. It looks like that will be the case for the next few years. At least until there are 72 holes out there.

there is no doubt it is thick out there! i just hope the neighborhood is not its downfall, ya know what i mean?

my wife's going to chinafor six months beginning in may, so maybe i can git over there and help with flatbed #31.

Despite appearances, the neighborhood actually takes pretty good care of the park. I have not had a problem, and my truck normally has quite a few fairly expensive tools in the back when it is out there. And it has been out there almost every weekend for a year now.

When I talked to Steve yesterday, he said that local people have come up to him and thanked him for being there. Some of the things going on in that part of the park have stopped.

Pat, a few of the holes have not even been started clearing yet.

The rough is going to be rough for a while yet. I can't belive how much more it is opened up from a year ago.

Hole #17 out there was great and already looks like a "ready to play" hole. I am not sure about #18...I love the line on there, but that hill is pretty mushy and hard to navigate..guess we will see what it looks like once cleaned up a bit.

Also, Hole #11 or #12..the straight uphill hole was definately the hole with some potential to be the signature hole. Can't wait to watch people park that hole and the disc roll all the way back to them. It was really fun to play.

I took a 3 on #10..felt like a birdie at least

A 3 on #10 from is a birdie. Especially if it was from the blue tees. A three from the reds is hard enough. It is a great design where playing for a par (4) should be simple enough, but trying to get a three by driving for daylight is very dangerous.

Last time I played #17, there were too many 1' tall stumps.

#18 is going to be the toughest to clean up. We are going to have to put in a retaining wall and build a path to walk along the pond. We may need one to help firm up the primary landing area as well.

We played #10 from the top of the hill, so I guess that was the blue tee...I happened to pull a nice Valk shot all the way down the middle and skipped partly back up the hill..then threw a Buzz right a the basket almost hitting it..had a 5ft drop putt from behind the bucket..

All of 10's tees are at the top.

If you played from the basket location of old 9, it's not being used. Just to the right of that and back out of the trees is the Blue Tee.
Keep going around the tree line to the large white rocks, that's the white line.
The red tee is the same one used in mace's event last year.

We played blue then...they had marked most of the course the night before with flags, but everything close to the lot had been removed already.

2006 OMB vs. YGB....and then more...

Played GB tonight and the park was packed, but the city had a pile of guys working on Porter so lets not tick them off. They will finish out there soon and we can have both parks to play

Thursday...tee at 5:45..6pm...just everyone let someone else know who is coming and we will wait up...flip double to start the year sounds good, but I am up for anything the group wants to do..

Time to start a new thread.???? 4,000+ posts and over 10K in reading...

See you guys Thursday

dang..20K plus views of the thread...I started another one as we have each year previously...please post there as 4241 posts is slowing things down again and it is a new day

Come on OMB's..you need the practice before World Doubles

OMB vs. YGB - 2006 (http://www.pdga.com/msgboard/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=532108&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1)
