Not that I am one, but I was wondering who were the usual contenders for Am Worlds this year.

I found Steve Lonhart while scoping through the Masters Cup results.... 980 rated, already turned down cash at an NT. Looks to be a contender.

Who else is set to blaze up the desert come August?


Last year the talk was of Boobs, JJ, and Brody Miller, all of which were in the running. Who will it be this year?

Codage` is coming on quickly, not hard to do when you play with Coda though. If he attends, I've got to put him near the top.

I think Tim Skellinger from Portland, OR will be in the top 15.

Who else is set to blaze up the desert come August?


Except it's not in the desert....

Steve Lonhart
EOG
Mike Nelson
Jack Smalls
Jan Smutz

Hey dont forget about some guy from Tulsa.....ME!!! ;)

too bad i cant go. :mad:

I would nominate my self but the tournament is to far away and will cost too much money for me to play. If Mills attends my moneys on him.

What about Matt Hall, or is he bagging and playing Juniors? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif


Wait, even if he plays advanced he is still bagging, what am I saying?

I'm a contender.

Except my arm is hurt just now,
and I'm not attending this year,
and my putting is very inconsistent,
but if I was there, and I was playing,
and I was healthy, and putting well,
I'd show them a thing or two.

Sniff :(

I will never be a contender for Am Worlds. :mad:

Wait, that is because I didn't play many tournaments last year, don't have the money/time to go this year, and will be moving up to Open in 2006. Unless I cash, which will be likely at least at B and C Tiers, I will not be able to go to Am Worlds.

But if I don't cash, then I will be a contender for the 2006 Am Worlds. :D(Which would be the only Am event I will play that year).

/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Matt Hall will bring Gateway their first Worlds title...even if it is an AM Worlds. I played with him this weekend in MO, and the kid was making shots durring the final 9 that no one else was, and that includes the 3 1010+ golfer in the final!!! When he puts in on, he can not be stopped!

Matt Hall in 2005!!!

Do you have scores for Columbia?

Did he accept cash?

Matt Hall, mills, couple other golfers :cool:

Matt played in Columbia at the Mid-America, not at DGLO.

I'm gonna pull a Coda and say screw am worlds, I want cash!

I'm gonna pull a Coda and say screw am worlds, I want cash!



That's what everyone who is mentioned on this list should do.

It takes Open Pro caliber play in order to finish top-10 at Am Worlds. Isn't that how it should be? The best of the second team duking it out for bragging rights? I don't have a problem with that, and I'll never be at that level.

That said, a top 10 finish at Am Worlds should be a pretty strong sign that you're ready for the first team. If you check the stats, you'll see that's how it usually goes, too. So no problem. :)

So where's Milllllzzzzz in this whole discussion? No one supporting him? Not even pimping himself?

Hmmmm....guess he's gonna bag another year?

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I don't know if doing anything in the advanced division deserves bragging rights. I wonder how many years it will be until a 1000 rated golfer plays am worlds...rediculous!

So where's Milllllzzzzz in this whole discussion? No one supporting him? Not even pimping himself?

Hmmmm....guess he's gonna bag another year?

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D



Mills will not be playing am worlds.

How you livin' Jackie Smalls?

gotta be livin'n NC

If Jared Pennington from OKC would go he would definitly be a major contender, Sorry but I think it is going to be an underdog this year.

Advantage has to go to the person with the best thumber

Ahem...

I'm going with "The SevenSixOhhh", Dirty Dave Vincent. I didn't realize he was 5th on the rating list. He is on a pretty good upswing in his game, so I'm sure that rating is lagging a little too. He has a good thumber and a great game. He's also serious about it because he has been heading out to Flag to scout the courses.

Barring a mid-week meltdown, he should be in the hunt (if not leading the charge) come Saturday.

How you livin' Jackie Smalls?


Yeah
I'm going with the DON!

WHAT!?!

I'm goin with the dark horse of the Pacific Northwest...Jay Harbour /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

WHAT!?!


EOG...OhhhKaaay

Might want to look at Frank Gonzalez, Woulda gone 4th this weekend behind Walt, LL, and the reigning am champ JJ. I didn't get to play with him, but he carted his kid around in a stroller. If he brings the kid to Flagstaff, ya'll be in some trouble.

I edged out Frankie in VA (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=4707). He's a very good playa and a definite contenda. It's gonna come down to who is on that week and who is not.

If Kyle McClure plays well he will have a shot at it.

Everyone keeps forgetting me.

Crap, I took cash.

Nevermind.

If my boy Brathwaite (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/playerstats.php?PDGANum=26416) plays, he'll contend.

talk about rating,arn't those kinda high for ams.well the top two or three anyways :confused: :D

The 6 way combo threat from NorCal :D

And thats only the Men /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif Watch out for Stacy Pauly.. :)

i thought norcal had some kinda bump rule,guess not :eek:





:confused: NorCal no longer has a "Bump Rule"

The "Rules" prohibit them :DAnd we ALWAYS follow the rules /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :)

GO NORCAL!!!!! Represent!!! :D

So I guess the thumber is a key shot at these courses?? :eek: So that's why I've seen Steve practicing it... ;) I know Mr. Wood has a sick thumber too... :cool:Good Luck to all!

only 33 more days till worlds

I'm gonna pull a Coda and say screw am worlds, I want cash!



O Yeah!!!! Thats what I did, Cashed in my First B tier, then my next 4 after that. Best move I ever made, at the time I thought I was doing the wrong thing cuz I wanted to go to AM Nationals. My game has improved 10 fold, and I owe it all to the best disc golf state, WISCONSIN!!! :cool:

Zach, can you name something you can do in 49 states, but not in NC?



Cash in my First B tier, then my next 4 after that.




Very good!

I noticed that you were cashing often, way to go man, it is good to see the up and comers start off on the right foot. See you next time i am in wisconson.

Freakin Hilarious MTL! sorry about your Zebulon debaucle

Kim Scott-Wood from Toronto has got A LOT of game and should do just fine at AM worlds ;)

Kim Scott-Wood from Toronto has got A LOT of game and should do just fine at AM worlds ;)



I agree...played with him last year at *Cough*Junior*Cough* Worlds and he has some serious game, that no doubt has gotten even better since.

What area will take Am Worlds?

NCackalacky - Smalls & EOG
NorCal - Smutz & Lohnart
SoCal - Brathwaite & Vincent
Orygun - Harbour & Skellenger
Ontario - Hartford & Nelson
Tejas - Garcia & Hall

or somewhere else?

I'll be a homer for my home state and say Orygun. The state had such a strong showing at Worlds last year. It's all subjective depending on where you live. I live in Orygun.

Cant a PIMP get some love???

Or do you guys just like to HATE on me???

Doesnt matter because I wont be attending unless someone wants to pay for me to go :D

Good luck to everyone :D

I'd definitely put you in the top 20 /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

If I had the $$ I would pay for you to go since you are so great. :o

Matt,

Why don't you sell some of the plastic you have won at these tournaments??? lol

I sold a basket this weekend :D

Regarding Oregon players:

I'd also add Mike Suchocki and Colin Sexton (not sure if he's going) as strong players.

Colin? I think you meant Nathan...last year.

Collin is Nathan's younger brother. You'll remember him from last year (http://pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=4022#Junior%20<%2019%20Boys) at Junior Worlds. When he beat you, I believe.

No names, but I'm predicting 2 world champs coming from High Point, NC! well, one is from Sophia, but we'll claim him anyway.

I'm staying with my home state of Cali...Question is whether it will be NorCal or So Cal.

...at what, my worst tourney of the year? Before I could putt? But yeah, I know who you are talking about...I got them mixed up, my bad.

At the BC Open last weekend up in Vancouver Mike McMillan From Canada somewhere finished 3rd beheind me in Open and declined cash. I played with him the last round and the final 10. He is a guy that seems a little newish but is a really good player! Not a tourer so you won't see what he has got until worlds but I put him top 10.

Nice to hear from you Dario!

Steve Lonhart from Santa Cruz (Dr, Steve that is) may very well crush.

Steve's home course is Delaveaga. 27 brutal holes. He usually plays running, with 2-3 discs? We call him "running man". Typically we'll be on about hole 8 or 9, and we'll see Steve drive by on his way to the parking lot, he usually plays through our group on hole 11 or 12.

He been around the course for a while, but a regular of tyhe club just the last few years? And I think he started tournaments this year or last?

Steve is also one of the nicest people you will come accross. He is very sharp, very motivated, and also very humble. He's been a great addition to the club and is helping us with statistics on course usage.

We really thrilled to have him around, proud to have him represent for DDGC, and we wish him the best of luck.

He'll be schooling Rhett and the rest of the field in Tahoe this weekend :D

Lonhart is good...But it's a week long event, and there is a grip of competition /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Das right Dirty D! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Thanks for the very kind words, John. Playing at DeLa means a lot to me, and I enjoy all the folks up there, and especially the hard-working DDGC members like you!!

I think California will have a very good showing in the Adv. Men division. I know of several excellent NorCal players planning to attend, including:
Dave Haning
George Ross
Jonah Schmidt
and Dan Corbett (among others)
I know from personal experience about each of these guys--when hot, they are among the best.

and from SoCal--definitely Phil Brathewaite. I've been in a tournament with him and he's awesome! Super long distance and accurate.

Among players I have not played against, certainly it looks like Matt Hall and Steve Mills are hot players right now. Especially Matt--he seems very focused on winning, and is on the right track to do so.

But as Dave Vincent points out, it's a long tournament, and anything can happen. And ratings are, in my opinion, not a good indicator of actual skill and ability.

My goal is top 20. I hope I have the opportunity to meet many of you. As Steady Ed said, the most fun wins! :)

Cheers,
Steve Lonhart

No worries Steve, you deserve them.

Dave Hanning is an excellent bet, I wish I knew more about the others. I'll take your word.

I understand Dave was crushing in Tahoe this weekend? Good for him, he was a Dela regular back when.

Sorry you were not feeling well.

I was in Flag 2k3, can tell you where to find some pretty good eats.
Like the health food store near NAU :D :D

I'll be happy with anyone from Norcal but for loyalty's sake have to be backing our homie Jonah Schmidt -- great guy and has all the tools. Him winning it would be a huge boost to disc golf in San Francisco.

I think I played with him at the Memorial in 2004. Heck of a nice guy.

Thanks for all the support guys, nows as good a time as any to put my first posting on the message board. Eric we had a blast at the Memorial that year, those are the kinds of rounds that you remember for a long time. I have to say that California is going to tear it up at Worlds! I met SoCal ripper Dirty D in Hawai and that kid has every shot in the book. I still think of those Maui mountains when I miss a putt, calms me down in a good way. NorCal is going to light it up! I've been getting schooled from these guys every week - James Wood, Desmon Knibbs, Dave Haning, Steve Lonhart, the Napa Crush Crew, Chris Robinson (his home town course is 5000ft elevation), and of course George Ross . If I had to put my money on one person in particular it would be him, he has been playin good golf for a last couple years. Can't forget the East Coast ripper Eddie OG from NC, played with him all over the country (World Doubles was understandable, but hey can you leave MTL at home this time :)

I just found out that Armando Garcia is going and this guy has an incredible thumber so I would keep an eye out for him. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Welcome to the board Jonah! Don't worry, I'll leave him here in NC. Thanks for the support. Can't wait to see all you guys at worlds. Hopefully I can learn how diff my plastic flys in elevation before the tourney starts...

I thought you werent going to worlds this year??? I wish I could go but chit happens and I cant afford it or get the time off work this year. Looks like my next worlds will be the 2006 Pro Worlds. Where ever that may be :D

I doubt anyone is going to run away with it -- I suspect it's all going to come down to whose mental game is strongest...

What division are you going to play Matt?

Whoever winds am worlds is the world's biggest bagger

I'd say the Worlds Master Pro winner is the biggest bagger since he'll likely have a rating 25-40 points higher than the Advanced Worlds winner.

Gordo actually throws a "tomahawk" as well as a forehand roller as well as back hand, as well as being the fastest player in the country. :D

No but for real, the man has an array of shots!!!

fear not jonah - that whole accepting cash thing I did will probably keep me away from Arizona

Zilla is fast as in he does not stop to think about what he is gonna do- he just steps up and throws. Talk all you want, you won't distract him. No matter how much rides on a putt, he just steps up and BOOM!

When I have the box I am on the tee before the other guys have gotten to the bench and taken scores. Sometimes I wish that the slowest guy on the card was stroked or something but then how would all the OMB's survive?

Is Gordo playing ?- Please look at the pre-reg list or the post two slots up.

I have got to give my vote to Steve Lonhart. It was cool playing the CVS with you Steve. Good luck!

AM worlds contender Kim Scott-Wood is currently sitting around 37th at PRO worlds!

SEEMS ttO ME ttHAtt ttHERE ARE SOME SERIOUS BAGGERS PLAYING WORLDS ttHIS YEAR.

Doesn't look too bad to me in the bagging department. Notice how many PDGA #'s above 23000 there are in that list - lots of brand new players. Several are youngsters and most were <950 players 1 year ago - probably guys who want 1 more shot at AM Worlds.

His 5th round (1073) was the highest rated round of the event :p

I ain't skeered!!! :D

That rating is wrong. He was in the B Pool when he shot that. No way he shot a 55 at Nox.
