You may have beaten us if George didn't take a snowman with a hat on hole 3 !!!! 6 under to 1 under on one hole ............... :confused:

Or something like that.

This maybe the week I work on my handicap. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Well..................I don't think my handicap will move.

I'm 55 under par for 6 league rounds , with a 9 under handicap.

Maybe if I shot digits , then tanked on purpose , I could be maybe 3-5 under or even 1 under par , going into the last week , then shoot digits all of a sudden and be 12-14 under my handicap , per round !!!! :eek: :p

That would be cheating though...............or stealing a win. :eek:

For a some , that's the easiest way to beat the handicap system.:eek:

Naw , I don't steal wins that way. Never had to.
Had some good subs for the team though , but not rigged.

It's pretty tough to beat anyone head to head when they can shoot as Well as or Better than you with a rigged handicap in their favor. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I guess I'll play my best with my Integrity intact. :D

Go Cheaters !!!! or is it Steelers !!!! :D

Good thing this is for only $ 30.00 each.

Ha ha ha. -55 for 6 matches, yeah right. We both shot -10 the first round of the first week and you didn't even play the second round while I shot -9. The second week I shot back-to-back -8, you shot -12 and -9. Don't get mad that I shot -10 when we played you this week while you shot -7. Don't hate on the CARTEL, we came, we saw, we conquered. Simple as that.

Donny.....DVIN�
-38.......-45


BTW...Who's in first place?
































THE CARTEL is...

You smoking again ? Like you ever stopped. :p
Cigarettes are bad for you. ;) Or what did you think I meant ? :eek:

I shot -10 when we played you this week while you shot -7.

Not bad considering I was sick. I did not want to DNF on my team. Doctor was checking me for pancreatic cancer that Friday. Had four bogies too. :p

Then I shot a -8 to your +1 over......................that's right sandbagger. Working on your handicap.

I'm still officially further under par. Check the stats sheet.

Karl Strauss is 4-2

My handicap was adjusted to -9 for a reason.

I shot -10, you shot the weak -7 when we played. YOU need to review the stats, you're the one blowin smoke. Better check your meds...Seems you're too unstable, I mean, maybe throw understable if your too weak to win. CARTEL is collecting bounty on all contracts. We collected big on Karl Stress. See you in the finals...if you make it.

Hmmmmm..........Unstable.........typical Unsponsored Discraft player remark. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Shorkey has the stats.

It does show disrespect to kids and parents and most of the non-smokers.

I guess if the police don't care , but they do...............

Now we can't even play Bayside because of the controversy.

Sad that a few have wrecked it for others. :mad:

Now cost of a temp. permit to play there is $300.00 + for 3 months. :mad: Idiots.

LOOK...I don't know if you're jealous and trying to recapture a bit of your youth by putting others down, but don't start this #$*&$! again. Plus, don't equate your conspiracy theories to Bayside. It has absolutely nothing to do with the facts. The fact IS, Bayside is part of Mission Bay Park, and Mission Bay Park has guidelines regarding organized sporting events. The soccer/volley ball guys have to pay the same permit fees as us disc golfers would if we opted to do so. Maybe you could cough up the dough for permits with all the money you save since you are NOT taking your required medicine.









PS...No one will stop The CARTEL.

Now cost of a temp. permit to play there is $300.00 + for 3 months.


That's the bottom end of what a weekend permit for any SoCal course for a tournament costs, so it is actually pretty dang reasonable.

Any of you interested in making a tourney happen at Bayside? It would be a lot of work, so you might not be willing to do it.

I was going to ignore the comment regarding BAYSIDE and the so called controversy. But it is apparent that some of you, through total ignorance have no clue why BAYSIDE is not happening this year.

First and foremost BAYSIDE was not shut down because of pot smoking or any sort of drug use. Secondly, It was not shut down by the police, the Mission Bay Park Management or the Mission Bay Lifeguards. Thirdly Mission Bay Park does not issue permits for any sort of sporting events, except in specific fields (robb field, fiesta island and a few baseball diamonds).

If anyone wants all the information regarding BAYSIDE perhaps you should ask the organizers, or those that did a lot of foot work and face to face with City Officials and Park Managers to try to make Bayside happen. Ultimately the Mission Bay Master Plan does not allow organised sporting events of any kind (this includes practices and actual events).

In my oppinion it is better to follow the rules of the park, then to break them, especially if we hope to get permission to use the park in the future. I believe the organisers of BAYSIDE made a very logical choice of stopping play, as breaking the rules would just give Disc Golf a bad name.

Just my two cents.

Richard

Ultimately the Mission Bay Master Plan does not allow organised sporting events of any kind (this includes practices and actual events).


How do the 5k and 10k runs get around this?

Do model yacht race events qualify as "sporting events"?

I agree with you about it being better to follow the rules than "break them in the name of disc golf". My original point is that $300 ain't doody for an event permit, and that's how Donny portrayed it. I appreciate the clarification.

In any event, 5k and 10k runs happen in the park. If anyone were interested in running a tourney on a temp course it would probabvly be a good idea to figure out how they get permission if disc golf has been told that "sporting events are not allowed".

"Maybe you could cough up the dough for permits with all the money you save."

Atleast I have money , and I'm not tight with it.
Since I don't buy pot , I can afford to buy Real baskets.

I still split my doubles ace pool money 50-50. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

How many ace's you got for cash ? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I am glad you asked those questions, I had those same questions when I spoke with the Park Manager and also the City Council office that deals with that district. I have been persuing these issue to help the organisers, so that BAYSIDE may be available in the future.

How about the 5K runs and 10K runs? Typically these are held on public streets, countroled by the City, not the Mission Bay Master Plan. Therefore the 5k runs and even the Rock and Roll Marathon, which travels around Mission Bay are approved by the City Council. Specifically Donna Frye's District. Can the Mission Bay Parks Manager allow sporting events in the park in non-designated areas? Yes, but only with a City Council vote.

Do model boat races qualify as a sporting event? That particular portion of Mission Bay was designed for Model Boating and as such they have permission through the Mission Bay Master Plan to be there.

How about the soccer players directly across the street? The soccer players get fined every day they show up. They are willing to pay the fines in order to play there.

As for the $300 dollar permit. Yes you can get a permit for one of the Sports Fields within Mission Bay Park (Robb Field, Fiesta Island, etc...). The area were BAYSIDE is played is not one of these Sports Fields, therefore a permit for a sporting activity is not available. Fines can be issued for participating in an organised sporting event in this area of the park.

It will take many voices to change the Mission Bay Master Plan. Then once the Master Plan is changed the City Council must vote on it. The whole process, if all the chains are followed can take two years.

The questions are being asked of the Manager and the City Council. People are doing the hard work and putting in the effort to try and make this happen. I just hate to see it side tracked cause of mis-information.

Hope that helps clear some stuff up.

Richard

Thanks Richard, I appreciate all the work that you put in over the past 2 years, and I'm glad you could clear that up for everyone...especially Donna O-LIE.

Thanks for the info/update, and thanks for helping with the legwork. :)

So the bottom line is 2 years to jump through all the hoops necessary to amend the master plan once you convince the powers that be that disc golf would be a good thing for the park?

That used to sound like forever, but any more 2 years doesn't sound bad at all. Good luck on the convincing. Don't forget about Rick Bays when hitting up city/county/parks people, if you havn't talked to him already. He's been around the block a couple of hundred dozen times with that crowd.

Other groups would also want to participate in joint land space use. Has to be specific with rules involved ..........................Like no Pot smoking , doing lines or drinking !!!!

Donny,

When the time comes to approuch the City, you can rest assured it will be done correctly.

Volleyball - Already has a designated area in the park.
Soccer - Already has designated fields that can be reserved for a fee
Football - Already has designated fields that can be reserved for a fee
Softball - Already has designated fields that can be reserved for a fee
Kite Flying - Already has a designated area within the park.
Wind Surfing - Has a recommended area
Kite Boarding - Has a recommended area
Sailing - Has a recommended area
Waterskiing - Has a recommended area
Basketball - Already has a designated area
Horseshoes - Already has a designated area
The list could go on.

All this has been looked into. When the time is right and the politics are in place, everyone that needs to be involved will be involved (even other groups). One step at a time.

Richard

That's enough of Bayside in the Morley string. If anyone wants additional Mission Bay Park information you can message me directly.

:D Poor Dead Vincent. Find any sponsors yet ?

Mario's handicap is as high as yours ?

And you still have never won a monthly ..................Even Kevin Gomez beat George Spracklen to take the last PRO monthly.
And neither of those guy's dress like a poor rapper.

Oh , that's right..............you ended up worse than the guy you say you always smoke , Mike Ruzika ? Mike's shoulder was black and blue and looked bad.
He had a messed up arm and shoulder and still ended up 23rd. You ended up ..............what 38th or some embarrassing number :p
Was your brain black and blue from lack of oxygen ?
I'm telling you , for your health reasons , stop smoking cigarettes ( and other things) or you will pay for it later. But , you never listen to anyone , anyway .............so good luck with that.
You don't have to be afraid of yourself ......................if you still are , you can always drop back to AM status. You were never really pro status anyway , so no loss there. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

That is some funny stuff. You guys are hilarious.

On a more positive note...

At 5 weeks post-surgery I played Morley last weekend with Rizbee Jr. I started out a bit tentative, afraid to strain anything, but ended up shooting +2. I went back last night and shot -3 (I just missed making it in time for doubles).

After missing all of the Spring events and lots of late afternoon sunshine, I'm ready to play lots of disc golf!!!!

Wooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!! :D

:D Poor Dead Vincent. Find any sponsors yet <font color="red"> You sponsor me everytime we play a cash game, thanks for the $20 today. </font> ?

Having said that, I also took a cool picture today...











Here's a picture of the scoreboard from the 6/17/06 Morley Monthly. Notice the 18 stroke win over Donny after he opened his man-pleaser...There was another card ot two below, Gomez was somewhere on there :D

http://myspace-820.vo.llnwd.net/00840/02/84/840174820_l.jpg

I hacked so bad I did not even make the picture! Bogey free last round though! too bad i only had 4 birds

Nice playing Dave! you need to give me 9 strokes at EI!

Nice Rounds Vincent. I wish I could have been there to see that. Congratulations.

Thanks Gomez and Mike...See you on Tuesday.

So...........your going to give me 18 strokes , 9 per disc golf round ? Works for me !!!! :D
So much for your league handicap. :(
Oh darn , I'm at par /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I felt bad for Trey. He has the best attitude during some rough times. He didn't give up either.

In two rounds , I had a 3p , 4p , 5p and a 8 double p.

9 Nice penalties. The snowman was on temp 12. I think some Intermediate guys even beat my score. :eek:
I still kept my cool. :D
Every once in a while , even Tiger Woods doesn't make the cut. Happens. It's how you deal with damage control. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Well Dave ..
Someone had to light a fire underneath you to get you started. :DHopefully you can take this win through your next series of tournaments.

Glad I could help you get to the first step. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
That's what trainers do. Your a bit tougher to get psyched up on winning than others , but everyone I help has a different approach and mental game. Sorry If you took what I said to heart. Nothing personal or truly vindictive .This was one way to get you out of your slump. :D
Did it work ? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Now.....
You need to get three monthly scores of 21 or better in a row , then Micah might come out and play.

Congratulations on your first monthly win. :D
Hope you get many more !!!!

Remember , this is just the first step.
It does get tougher.

Gomez needs to ensure that the last week of league matchups are correctly assigned. It seems that there has been some shady scheduling over the last few seasons, but I heard that this week in particular will be specifically set-up to achieve a desired outcome. So if you have a chance to make the finals, lets make sure that we are playing the right teams.

I agree. The scheduling should have balance for all teams.

I make sure we play the teams we need to play. I know karl strauss needs to play ODR and high flyers again.

If you know who you need to play let me know.

My handicap should be the same as George's. :D
This way when we both shoot 12's , it would be Fun !!!!

The HB club has a team in the Morley league? Cool! :)

Yeah, they copied their name from HB. It didn't matter anyway, we used them as scorekeepers since they never had a chance.

Before he has the joy of telling everyone he knows, I figured I'd spoil it for him:

Bobby Martin beat me yesterday by 7 strokes on one round at Morley Field. He shot a solid -7 and I shot a typical (for me anyhow) even par.

By the end of the round I had thrown three tomahawks. If you know my game at all then this says enough about how bad my round was. LOL

Anyhow, congratulations are in order to Bobby, I'm sure he's going to frame that scorecard!

he told me yesterday so this is old news. He wants your bag tag

He can have it, his is lower anyhow.

I wanted to thank Carlo Pelg and George Spracklin for their help in product sponsoring of the 2006 San Francisco Safari.
Alot of players dug the cool plastic and give aways !!!!! Really cool plastic !!!!!

Rob Byers at the awards ceremony and raffle, mentioned your names and everyone clapped. Thanks , also to Innova , Discovering the World and DGA for awesome raffle prizes !!!!!!!

Oh , and the beer sponsor for some cool suds !!!!

If anyone is interested , I won 4 killer seats for the Giants game !!!!!!

Very Cool !!!!

Thanks a bunch !!!!!

It's tommorow don't forget!!!!! Can Gomez get another win to solidify his spot on the team or will he choke again!!!!! :eek:

It's 2 wins and you're on the team right? It used to be 3 when there was one every month.

Let's see if most of these folks play ....................
http://www.morleyfield.com/course/locals.htm

I guess its the guantlet for me. The last 3 monthlies I shot a -53...-18 and the win over Carlo by 5 strokes in June, -15 for 4th in August, and a -20 3rd place 1 behind Carlo and Miker this month. Snapper said I would be a high seed in the guantlet, prepare to be grinded. I mean the leg humping kind too.

You have almost a lock in the gauntlet....................Unless you win the tournament outright , then it's a automatic done deal !!!!!

I also would like to see Trey McKelvey in the mix. Not only can He can Drive far and putt well.............................................. .He has a Excellent Attitude , is always Smiling and Gracious and gets along with everyone !!!!!! Everybody likes Trey !!!!!

He would be my Bonus Pick !!!!!!

Plus , We would also have a shot at something I have never , ever won............................................... ................... Team Spirit Award !!!!!! :eek: :D

I can't make the Course Championship, so its most likely the gauntlet for me.

It's a tough month for scheduling the Course Champs. I guess going up against the Halloween Pro weekend in Vegas is better than going up against the SoCal Champs. Too bad there aren't more weekends in November.

I don't think that I can make the Course Championship, so its most likely the guantlet for me.



Can you play the guantlet without playing the Course Championship?

I can't make the Championship either, but would like to at least try out for the team during the guantlet, but was under the impression that if I didn't play the CC I couldn't play in the guantlet.

Any clarification? And what date is the guantlet?

Richard

I'm not sure...I killed it during the team tourney last year, so I hope there is some leeway for me.

It's all up to Snapper, I would explain your situation to him, he has been graceful with certain people in the past.

I will talk with Snapper and see what he says. Of course all the slots could be filled after the CC anyways, so it may not matter.

Vegas this weekend!

I can't get down there today , but I'll find out the deal for those who have prior commitments.

Here is one of the rating sheets of recent history.

Mine has just changed to 989.

Player Rating Information for Donny Olow.
Current Rating: 989 (as of 17-Oct-2006)

Check the PDGA web site under memberships to see if you have been updated or upgraded.

Here are the standings after the September update...

Hey Richard ,

From what I hear , after the Course Championships are completed , there will be Match Play taking place on Saturday , November 11th , starting at 9:00 am.

This has always taken place because all can not make the Course Championships and still gives a chance for those who want a shot at making the team , even if they play the C.C. Hope that makes sense.

Check with Snapper for more specific details.

The four remaining spots will be filled by Saturday afternoon.

Hey Dave,

Just played Morley today with Micah Dorius and he wanted me to ask you this..................
He does not get on line much and asked me to ask you this message .............Twice.........

" How come you keep Ducking me"? " AGAIN " !!!!!! :eek: His words !!!!!

I told him you had prior obligations with your wife and will be out of town with her and her family for their annual cabin getaway.

Even Micah does not get a exemption. :eek:

So , at this point , these are the folks who are on the Team as of today.

Glenn Triemstra ( Masters )
Carlo Pelg ( Open )
Snapper Pierson ( Grand Master )
Miguel Ramos III ( Miker ) ( Open )
Probably, Emily Hardy ( Womens )

Everyone else has to earn their way.

Nothing against Emily, but how did she lock down the women's spot?

Also, holding the meat-grinder during the SoCal Am weekend might keep some ams from stepping up and being added cash at the Course Championships, since a good enough showing to get them into the grinder won't be worth much since they won't be able to attend grinding day. Something to think about.

Current Rating: 896 (as of 19-Sep-2006) She has played in the Womens Pro Division.
http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=5524#Open%20Women

I think she CASHED in the Pro division with $ 200.00

Nothing against Emily, but how did she lock down the women's spot?



She has two B-Tier or higher wins in Pro.

Oh, and she is undeniably the best female player in San Diego.

True , I think she will play the Course Championships and any match play events needed to Qualify for the Womens Open Seed.

If any AM's want to play , they are more then welcome to play in the Open division at the Course Championships.
If they do well at the C.C. , they will also have a shot at match play , if they so decide , on Saturday , November 11th.

Again , you have to enter as OPEN. Male or Female. Only OPEN players have a chance.

Also check with Snapper on the qualifications needed for Team Match Play.

As I mentioned previously , only OPEN players will have the chance to qualify.

Other players I may not have mentioned will also be playing in either the C.C. or Match Play or both ..................

Donny, did you read my post?

Why don't you just repost a huge graphic another hundred times instead....

My last couple of posts were for the Pro's who have been asking about the Course Championships and the Match Play Availability spots .................................................. ..........................................My apologies if I didn't include you in the Pro loop !!!!!

Are you going to play Pro ?

It does seem like there are a lot of events running into each other. Not that I am at the point where I worry about such things - but it does seem like there are quite a few events in Oct/Nov/Dec and that some overlap...and that it would have been nice to have some of those events in the spring or summer.

Was that the point you were referring to, Rhett?

Was that the point you were referring to, Rhett?


That the Morley Course Championships typically get quite a few ams playing in the pro division in hopes of qualifying for the Morley team or in hopes of getting into the grinder.

Most of those ams are just added cash for the pros. :)

It's too bad, really, but there are a lot of tourneys in November this year so I guess nothing can be done. Las Vegas Pro weekend, SoCal Ams, and then SoCal Pros fill up the first three weekends, so the Morley CC has to conflict with something.

Someone must take Dorius down this year!!!!!! 8 Years in a row I can handle but Nine!!!!!!!!!

Hang on a second George , I have a post for Rhett.

Donny, did you read my post?

Why don't you just repost a huge graphic another hundred times instead....



I did read your post. Did you by chance edit any of mine ? :(
Like for example did you replace this and why ?.....................
Here are the standings after the September update...
<center>http://www.aesthetic-mindset.com/images/disc/sd_pdgaseptember.gif</center>
I know it was you !!!! :mad:


You had stated : " Also, holding the meat-grinder during the SoCal Am weekend might keep some ams from stepping up and being added cash at the Course Championships, since a good enough showing to get them into the grinder won't be worth much since they won't be able to attend grinding day. Something to think about."

Again , not my call on the Grinding date set. One of the reasons is that the Team will be decided on that specific Saturday , November 11th ,The Pro SoCal weekend is the following week , after that is Thanksgiving weekend and alot of players have family obligations then. The week after that is the Team Tournament.

If Any Am's , want to Step up and play Open in the Course Championships , they are more then welcome to.

As Stated on the Flier " ONLY OPEN ENTRANTS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE SAN DIEGO TEAM TOURNAMENT TRYOUTS" !!!!!!!!!!

Which , by the way Includes Match Play !!!!!! So............with that being said , it's pretty much " Step Up or Keep Stepping" !!!!
I do not hate AM's , I just want them to play at their next level that they are well capable of playing at. This way the Novice and Intermediate players will Advance and New players will not feel so intimidated about playing in their first tournament Experience.
It's all about Growth for the Sport .................not Stagnating in a lower division for 10+ years !!!!!!! :mad:

http://www.morleyfield.com/cc2006/entryform2006.pdf

So , maybe you have a right to be angry because your not really considered Pro material anyway. Just being Brutally honest and upfront here because no one will really say it to your face as you may get upset with the truth. Sorry about that , but it had to be said. :eek:

The Team can not Afford someone who DNF's just because the course doesn't Suite them , they don't like or get along with the TD or that they are just playing badly !!!!!

All the players that want to be Team members , are there for a reason. They are the Best in their area's and divisions. It's never a cake walk for me. I have to be on the whole weekend and never give up !!!!!! WORD !!!!!!


Maybe someday like the NorCal / SoCal series , they will allow other divisions , besides Pro to play.

For now , it is what it is !!!!!! :D

DANG!!!!!!!!!!!! But it's true. Well some of it. I like Rhett

I'll try and go out this afternoon and play some.

Team Morley, Good luck winning the TEAM spirit award!

Team Morley, Good luck winning the TEAM spirit award!



Sorry about that Tom. Just trying to wash away the power trip some have on trying to controlling others and their stats.

No worries , Rhett is not on the Team. I like working with real people anyways, who don't fake it and can take the Heat when it really counts !!!!! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Like for example did you replace this and why ?.....................

I know it was you !!!! :mad:


You don't know sh<font color="black">i</font>t, Donny. I'm not an admin here anymore. Plus, I never edited a post without adding a comment when I was trying to make a difference here.

So bleah on you!

Who else didn't like their stats from San Diego ?
Here's the thing , you can talk to me once your Pro. You seem to know quite a bit for a AM ? How many years have you been playing now ?
I like the way you get around the system to use the word sh<font color="black">i</font>t.

Why are you scared to play Pro ? Is it a money thing ?
How much Am crap do you need ? Is a power thing to always be on top of weaker players ?

All I'm saying is I think its about time you stepped up to Open / Professional Division play. Do it for yourself and your reputation !!!!!

Oh........................I think Emily is the only Pro women from San Diego that has Cashed in sanctioned events as Pro this year. I'm still trying to think of other Pro/Open Women players from San Diego that would give her some competition.

Here are the ones I know that play Disc Golf in San Diego.

Emily Hardy
Allison Wylot
Laurie Stroh
Megan Stroh
Christina Brow
Brittany Breed

If you can think of any more , let me know !!! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Who else didn't like their stats from San Diego ?


I like my stats just fine. I was still in the first column!

If you knew anything, you might be able to put two-and-two together and realize that you were linking to a picture on a website somewhere else. Hmmmmm.......where in the world did that list come from originally? Hey, that might be a clue to who changed the picture that you linked to! Whoever controls that website probably changed it. Who might that be Donny?

It's much more fun to jump to conclusions and point fingers than it is to actually think about your own posts, isn't it Donny?

Here's a hint: this is the URL of the picture you linked:

http://www.aesthetic-mindset.com/images/disc/sd_pdgaseptember.gif

Son of a gun if the link didn't change. That means whoever runs that website changed the picture and kept the name the same so that your link still linked.

You don't know sh<font color="black">i</font>t, Donny. I'm not an admin here anymore.




Real nice Rhett, isn't that the exact same word that you had me suspended/banned over, with no warning by the way.

What an arrogant male chicken chew you are. :mad:

Just a clarification:

I think Emily is the best woman golfer from Morley. I also think Allison and Brittney are playing pretty darn good lately and should get a shot at her. That's all.

When Donny posted that Emily was already on the team, I guess I should've figured he was full of crap and that nothing had been decided yet. I only asked because it seemed strange to decide that position before the tourney that is supposed to decide that position had happened. Please don't anybody else besides Donny twist my question insto some kind of attack against Emily, which it was not.

Who else didn't like their stats from San Diego ?


Me - I don't think I'm a "897" player. Looking forward to some sanctioned events in the future that fit into my schedule and budget, so I can raise the rating.

(also trying to get the thread off of flame mode) :eek:

Where is Donny today? Out spreading hate and discontent in the real world for a change? Maybe he's at the police station trying to track who's website he linked to. :mad:

Sling a bunch of mud and then hide? That's pretty bush league....but not unexpected.

Course Championship in 3 days, you guys excited!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D :D:D:D:D

My apologies to those who were controlled for their thoughts.
Sorry about that David , I was just trying to get Rhett to play Pro so he would have the option of trying out for the San Diego Team Tournament this year. Only Open players have this Opportunity in the Men's Division.

My Bad if I hit a nerve somewhere. I can be somewhat direct online. Just like in Disc Golf , you can not be afraid to play, ANYONE.

Some can dish the heat , but have a difficult time when the shoe from someone elses foot , just doesn't fit !!!!!
I would have responded sooner as I'm not always online to rip on other folks posts and play Dictator , General Enforcer of Everything Said online.

I was on the course today , doing Volunteer work on my personal time , preparing the course for the local Course Championship this weekend. I don't get paid , but get the satisfaction of having a groomed course for all the players.

I had picked up glass , trash , cigarette debris , newspapers , broken tree branches , brush , leaves and recyclables.

I don't hate Rhett , Ryan or other players that think I'm a ***** online , I do this to push them to the next level of play that they are capable of playing at. If you were ever to play Disc Golf rounds with me in person , you would know I only want you to play your best and encourage you to do so !!!!!!!

Some just don't want to hear it and nobody says anything to them directly, so all the BS continues. Kinda sad ya know.

What would you say about a player who hides out in a lower division to sandbag the easy money when over the past two years their scores would've put them in the money of the Real Division 80% of the time?

Why would someone do that?

What kind of a sandbagger is Donny, anyway? Hiding out in Masters when he is a 989 rated pro that would've cashed in Open in 80% of the tournaments that offered Open that he's played in the last two years. Why does he hide? Is it ego? Is he on a power trip where he just has to be on or near the leader card? Is he afraid to step up and challenge himself? Why doesn't he play with the big boys when he obviously has the game for it?

Donny, why do you hide in Masters and steal the payout from the people that belong there? Did you know that if you would only step up to Open, where you would've cashed 80% of the time over the past two years, then you would make Pro Masters a more attractive division for old guys who are only rated 930-950 and currently have no chance to cash with all the 989 and up rated baggers hiding in that division? Don't you know that your constant sandbagging is keeping other players from turning pro?

Come on you bagger, step up. The stats speak for themselves. 80% over the last two years.

Oh yeah, nothing personal you #$*&$! piece of #$*&$!. I'm just trying to get you to challenge yourself and step up and quit being a bagger.

It's kind of sad how Donny is such a sandbagger yet is always calling others sanbaggers, don't you think?

Donny, did you ever figure out who changed your post? Or did you ever figure out that no one changed your post?

Are you ever going to mention that again, or are you going to pretend like it didn't happen since you were so friggin' wrong? :mad:

Hey George ,

I was at the course today raking up on hole # 11 tee and saw Monica Judkins !!!!!!! She was playing with Ed Speakman and Ken. I told her about the Course Championship this weekend , so I hope she plays !!!!! She threw her drive on hole # 11 and almost hit the palm trees long !!!!!!!

I talked Briefly with Micah and he seems more than ready. He was playing with Juan Fierro.

He is going to be tough , as he was practicing till dark.

I hope all the Pro's I had Previously listed play as well as those pre-signed up. That would be close to 40 Pro's !!!!!!!

I'm not sure yet on how many Am's are signed up , but the course will be closed to the general public.

I have a feeling Snapper will pay atleast 5 spots if not more , depending on how many actual players sign up !!!!!

Your design should be ready from the silk screeners and the Team design has been re-worked , again.

I'll be at the course again tomorrow , doing some finishing touches on course maintenance.

It's getting close !!!!!!!

See ya out there !!!!!!

Donny O. :D

rhett is a bagger!

I hate Haters :D

Are you ever going to mention that again, or are you going to pretend like it didn't happen since you were so friggin' wrong? :mad:



It just upsets me when someone makes up some crap that I didn't do, claims that I did it, and then goes off pulling in a bunch of unrelated things from a bunch of different directions to attack me about, and then never returns to the original assumption to apologize. :mad:

Good luck to everyone but Donny at the Morley Course Championships this weekend.

Sorry George, but I have to root for Micah to get all the way to 10 in a row since he is so close. Is it really 8 in a row? That is pretty darn impressive.

Team Morley, Good luck winning the TEAM spirit award!

I'd continue but some have said to leave Rhett alone and he doesn't have a clue. :eek:

OK . I'm man enough to admit this . Donny, did you ever figure out who changed your post? Or did you ever figure out that no one changed your post?

Actually I know who did and my apologies to you for using you to spook the Skeletons out of the closet !!!! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

That's not really an apology. :p

[QUOTE]
Sorry for dropping to Donny's level, guys. But I still have questions:


It's a little late to take the hi-road guys. Seems like messages boards are the worst thing to happen to San Diego Disc Golf in a long time
** sniff- Grape Street **

If half as much effort/writing went into "collaborating," we'd already have another course(s) somewhere in this disc golf forsaken city/county; and there'd be less flaming, and maybe more excitement, competition and commradery in this community.

I'm bummed that I can't play (hack) this year, but I still love the buzz this time'O year when everyone is trying to rise up and get noticed, and maybe even challenge the Doriunator. Let's here more about the love for the game.

But hey...that's just my $0.02

Good luck to everyone! I hope each of you represents yourself well.

Speaking of other course? If anyone knows were the land is, let me know. That land could be, Land For Sale, City Parks, County Parks, Canyons infested with homeless, etc.... If you know were the land is, I will talk to and network with whoever is needed to help get a new courses into SD.

Just an FYI, the park manager that shut down Grape street now runs Mission Bay Park and a new manager is controlling Grape street. It may be time to talk with the new manager.

I am sure with a little drive and some support from the local players, that a new course would not be difficult to get up and running.

Show me the land!

Richard

" Good luck to everyone but Donny at the Morley Course Championships this weekend".

Well Mike , I guess I'm going to have to rely on my skills then !!!!! :D

Hey...I didnt say that..it was the "fake" Hippie :D

Im SHOCKED that Snapper doesnt have MORE players that remain on the Team.

Donny has been on the Team nearly ALL 25 times...You'd figure that a spot would be assured...

Dave Vincent played GREAT last year..whooped me :o:(..and I think went 7-1 or 8-0 overall..that should be an assured spot..

Micah goes without question...He is by far the best player in the region...It wouldnt suprise me to see a boycott..like in the "old days".
Ive heard the threats but have NEVER seen the action.
:D

Doesnt Snapper have an "Exclusive" with the City?

Thats the way it used to be....his contract was said to keep Morley as the ONLY course in the City...this may all have changed BUT its what always was the stumbling block in the past :confused:

Would be nice if we could get that going again. I found the old permit they gave me...hehe, just kept it as momento. Anyhow...do you have contact number(s) or an inside track? Otherwise, I can track that number down again.

Let's see what we can do.

Oh...and also any effort on getting a permanent location also

I'll be trying out again...

Jeez...Rhett hasnt posted in about 26 hours....

He must be "Rounding up the Troops" to gang up on Donny.. :o:p

"Start Sarcasism"

Rhett-
Whaaa. He said something BAD about me.........

Moderator-
What did he say this time, Rhett

Rhett-
He called me an AM that wont EVER be a Pro ,or something like that, I cant remember. My hair is in my eyes.

Moderator-
Oh Gosh, Dont worry we'll take care of him.. :p


"End Sarcasim"

:eek: :D

You like to watch, don't you Mike? :)

You should review the thread, though. He said a lot more than that, and then had the nerve to say something about sportsmanship!!!

Is the registration list (so far) for this weekend's tourney available on-line?

Thanks to all who participated in this little tirade. I needed a good laugh. :D:D:D:p

Yeah I wish they would argue on the EI thread to bring the thread count up.....but then again, the Zoo should stay in San Diego :D

Emerald Isle is such a feel good place. We couldn't argue there. Them leperchauns can be mischievious when there tempers flare. Doesn't Donny kind of remind you of a lepercahun. :D :D

Yep, Thank the Saints for banishing the Snakes from Ireland /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

<font color="red"> Yup! Its VERY entertaining /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif </font>

Ive been "Watching" since you brought up the "Why does THAT girl get to play for the Team" HEck the Team Tourney thread I started has NO TAKERS :p and Im bored..Its COLD and RAINING /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Ive seen NOTHING to warrant a message from the PDGA :p

You are the one who used a "BAD WORD" not Donny :eek:

Only FACTS..........Kinda like where you are "Stuck" an AM because your "askeerd" to move up.
OR....
When you called out Donny for playing Masters and not OPEN :eek:

By the way HOW was that drive to Vegas just to play for some Merch???? Talk about "Bagger"....Is that because the PROS dont want you around or What?? :p

As always, the bottom line is...Snapper gets WHO EVER HE WANTS.....playoffs, etc.. only allow him to keep YOU ALL under his thumb. :D

Dont you have a plane to catch for Florida....we have a PARTY to plan. :D

I guess I am a bagger after all.

I just thought I was a trouble-maker playing in the right division. :p

This is just false information, Mike.

Snapper's contract with the city is, and always has been to my knowledge, for exclusive concession rites at the disc golf course at Morley Field.

NOT for exclusive rites to disc golf within the city parks system.

The SD city parks department (and even moreso the County Parks Department) has always been gracious and interested to hear my proposals for new courses.

Snapper does not hold exclusive rites to DG in the city, nor has he ever been a deterrent to the expansion of DG in San Diego (well, once*). He has, in fact, put forth much of his own money and energy to help me on more than one of my course proposals (telling me who to contact when I was getting the run around, giving me direct phone numbers, joining me for proposal meetings, giving me solid advice on what the city wanted to know in proposals - based upon his own contracts, technical information about things I never thought of such as the safety hazards of pole hole sleeves, hosting posters and maps at his Morley Pro Shop to my courses... and more behind the scenes that I just don't have time to relate now).

Don't pass on misinformation.

*there was once a group who were putting together a safari tournament at a course in rancho santa fe. They pasted flyers on every bench at morley field without asking permission - Snapper was offended they didn't bother to ask permission and tore them down. Ironically, Snapper still wanted to see a permanent course put into that park and encouraged me and others to try and get it done.

perfect picture skip!!!!!

i hate to see my pals fighting, just because i moved back east... :eek:

keith



I love it!!

Usuall about now, Im engrossed in a "Discussion" with someone from San Diego... :DUsually someone who has NO chance of making the Team anyway. :p

This is all quite entertaining..... /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Your GONNA lose anyway.. :D



mike....

team georgia isn't in the southwest(much like oregon isn't in the southwest :eek:) so maybe one year we'll get to go represent...until then i'll just watch everybody squabble on the board and wait til the vegas or memorial events next year to smack some people around who need it :D:D

have fun guys and i'll see you all next year somewhere on tour!!

First, It was stated as a question??...Then the line "it was <font color="red">SAID</font>"
I niether posted NOR claimed ANY facts, just what has been "circulating" for ,oh, what 10+ years or so.. :p

Snapper DID show up at a meeting with some "Pals" to protest the Mission Trails course, But then just about everybody protests Reese.

Personally, as I have ALWAYS said, Snapper is doing a GREAT thing with Morley...ANYONE who thinks that the "pennies" he charges to play at Morley is too much has NO CLUE. It is still LESS THAN 1/2 of what ALOT of parks charge JUST TO ENTER THE GROUNDS.......
Come on, Rick, If you havn't figured out by now, that I like to stir it up before Team Tourney. Your not paying attention. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I was waiting for this argument to come up....
:p

Lets break down the "TITLE" of this event....

The "SOUTHWEST Team Invitational".......

The event is held in the "Southwest" kinda like the "Mid-West" that was held at Mike Cousins place in Wisconsin.....That by the way was won by a team from "NORCAL" :eek:

The "Southwest TEAM Invitational".......

Self explanitory.....It involves TEAM play.. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif


The "Southwest Team INVITATIONAL".......

Theres the KICKER, "Invitational" usually means that you are "Invited" to play REGARDLESS of where you are from... ;)

SOOO with that being said....Put your team together Keith...call Snapper, get on the waiting list of Teams (I think "Central Calif" is the next Team in Rotation), and WAIT YOUR TURN :D

BUT dont finish LAST or you'll have to start ALL OVER again.. :o
:D
By the way...congrats on a good finish in Vegas.... :D

It seems to me...that there is always some sort of controversy over "Who" makes the Team... :p

Everyone has thier own way of picking, I Guess....
Personally, Certain individuals should be "Assured" a spot.

Micah shouldnt have to play for it...not like it matters...

Players with "history" like Donny, You, Tremstra, etc.. should have a spot as well...IMO

In my past ,we (Redwood Empire) had NO method of picking the Team.

I was Captain and I picked it......We could of brought a MUCH BETTER team, BUT then we were more like a "Family"...

The rule was IF you had a losing record THEN you were "Subject" to being replaced.......

OR

If you were deemed "Detrimental" to the Team....ie, Actions unbecoming of Team Member.. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif


Heres one for your Message board...Redwood Empire STILL has not LOST a head to head match against San Diego EVER...tie breakers dont count :D

Cant say much about Team Oregon since it is our first year...other than that we EXPECT to be in the Finals. /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
:D

Sure, there's always controversy. But if "lack of controversy" is going to be our measuring stick for whether or not it is a good system, then I don't think we'll ever have a system which measures up.

There will *always* be controversy - there are 20 guys or more that want to make the team every year, and most of those 20 are deeply disappointed by the end of November. :-(

Our system is highly objective (you win a big tourney out of town: you are on; you win X number of home monthlies: you are on; you place top three in the course championship: you are on. Top master and top woman in course championship: you are on. Everyone else: meat grinder). There is still a portion of subjectivity in the seeding for the meat grinder (seeded based upon how you played throughout the year and/or the course championship, and some shuffling based on how Snapper wants to fill out the team roster). But, results are still the only way to get on the team - if you win in the meat grinder you are on the team, if you lose in the meat grinder then you are not.

:cool:
Interesting...San Diego probably has the TOUGHEST criteria for making the Team.... /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Its not suprising that a large number of players want to "defend the home turf" :D

Our biggest problem has always been finding the person that can spend $500 on a weekend in San Diego with the chance to win $200 at best..........
I try to say its about the event NOT the money, so much.. ;)
:D

OK ...no more thread drift... /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

It's almost time for the Meat Grinder! See everyone there, if your ready to GRIND!

Richard

Well ................Rick does have a exact point about this ..............." Everyone else: meat grinder. There is still a portion of subjectivity in the seeding for the meat grinder (seeded based upon how you played throughout the year and/or the course championship, and some shuffling based on how Snapper wants to fill out the team roster). But, results are still the only way to get on the team - if you win in the meat grinder you are on the team, if you lose in the meat grinder then you are not."

This is brutal for some good players. I had to jump in because I'm also in the meat grinder this year as I have not won out of town , did not win two or more monthlies or did well in the C.C. :p

This is a huge true statement I could not even touch ..................."Our biggest problem has always been finding the person that can spend $500 on a weekend in San Diego with the chance to win $200 at best..........probably including sidebets !!!!! :eek:

I try to say its about the event NOT the money, so much.....

This holds so true for alot of players who would like to travel to other out of state tournaments or other countries , just for the enjoyment or experience.

Still ....................having the Experience and traveling with your pals / buds to play different Disc Golf places is priceless and worth every penny !!!!!! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Who from SD will be in the meat grinder? I thought it was a limited number.

There should be 8 people total...

I heard it was:

1-V|N�
2-Devine
3-Bays
4-Trey
5-Olow
6-Speakman
7-Spracklen
8-?

I was told the Grinder is unlimited as long as you had played open during the year. I hope to play in the grinder, unless everyone is scared!

2-Devine
3-Bays
4-Trey
5-Olow

[/QUOTE]

Possible. I have not talked with Snapper since last Saturday.

I may go play at La Mirada tomorrow , as he will be there.

Plus , I need alot of practice !!!! :D

That list does look close to accurate. There maybe some additional names.

The players who were invited , were sent emails / RSVP for grinder sign ups. Snapper would know for sure , who will be playing.

It's possible I may get bumped this year to allow for better players to compete.
:eek: I have no issue with this and will still be there to encourage and support ALL my friends and help out where I can.

I just like the social nature of this tournament , the fun folks have and the camaraderie amongst Disc Golfers !!!!!!

Any word on who will be there on Saturday?

Any word on who will be there on Saturday?



Snapper said he had sent invites to eight people and also has a list of alternates if the original 8 are not interested or don't show up. I am currently 2nd on the alternate list. I will be there Saturday either way.

Richard

Cool...See you there.

:D Snapper did mention your name today at La Mirada as on the list of alternates.

You are correct Richard on what you said.

Yes Dave ,

Here is the current list.

1-DV|N�
2-Dave Devine
3-Rick Bays
4-Trey McKelvey
5-Donny Olow
6-Ed Speakman
7-George Spracklen
8-Tom Olson

These names have been confirmed so far.
I do not know for sure who all the possible alternates are but here are a couple of names I had heard.

1. Charles Van Kempen ( CVK )
2. Richard Hockaday

I maybe missing someone , but I do remember hearing all these names mentioned.

Someone asked me how I calm my nerves .........................................

LOL :D

I usually start my Bad days with four bongs of some serious green bud , followed up by two lines of tweak. Gotta eat right after though. :p

Two eggs , some toast , english muffin , bowl of Cheerios and Total mix , two cups of french roast coffee and a large glass of O.J.

Start diving down to the course with a fifth of Jack& Coke , well maybe a third of that and try to find a parking spot.

I'm good by this point !!!!!






















Just Kidding !!!!! :D

These names have been confirmed so far.
I do not know for sure who all the possible alternates are but here are a couple of names I had heard.

1. Charles Van Kempen ( CVK )
2. Richard Hockaday

I maybe missing someone , but I do remember hearing all these names mentioned.



Does 1 play 8, 2 - 7 , etc..??

Good luck, Donny



Yes, but that can't be the correct seeding.

Yes Dave ,

Here is the current list.

1-DV|N�
2-Dave Devine
3-Rick Bays

Yea by this, Id say that Dave Vincent has the EASY road.. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

And Dave Devine has his work cut out for him.... /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

I havn't seen Ed or Trey play soooo, Its a toss up there...

Looks like Donny & Rick will have to rely on "Old School" SKILLS ;)
ie, Intimidation, Trash talk, etc....... :eek:

Whatever works,eh!
:D

That is definitely not the right seeding. I believe that it would be more like:

1-Spracklen

Thanks Hock...Glad you stuck around.

Dohhhhhhhh !!!!!! :eek:

I hung in there for what it was worth !!!!! The guys who won , my hats off to them. They played to win !!!!!
I should have closed the gap when it was given !!!! Sometimes the course is not kind on tree kicks !!!! :eek:

That's what you have to do in this meat grinder !!!! Play down to the wire sometimes and a bit after if needed !!!!!!! No Ties !!!!

I'll still be at tournament central and help out with the event where I can !!!!!!

Who know's , I could be picked up by free agency !!!! ;)


Oh , I just heard , George lost his cell phone and if anyone happens to find it , please let him know !!!!

Thanks ,

George must have left it on the tree stump near the 11 long pin. I know that is where he hangs out at night. That is a sure bet.

iT'S ALL GOOD!! Hey on the upside you don't have to worry about me wooping up on team oregon this year. I feel bad for team San Diego, they are going to get smashed by you guy's(I heard you guys arestacked with good players). Oh and Gomez is just mad because he sits there every night waiting for me and i never show up. :confused:

/msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif We are ALL reg'd in Oregon, though.. :D

I wouldn't say "Smoked", after all we do have to play against the "local advantage".. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
Now bring it to ANY OTHER COURSE in the world and THEN..Id say SD would get SMOKED....BAD!
/msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif ;)

:D

But not at home.....they will ALWAYS be a TOP team....

I think 2 years ago was the 1st time NOT in a Finals in a LONG time.
:eek:
:D

We would play you guys literally and figuratively, anywhere, and still take you for your cash /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Now bring it to ANY OTHER COURSE in the world and THEN..Id say SD would get SMOKED....BAD!



I don't think there is much evidence to back this up. San Diego as a whole have some of the best "out of town" competitors of any region I can think of. We don't have a good variety of courses here to practice, so we have to be good out of town to survive, and we do. Our ability to adapt and mobilize (nearly 40 SD competitors at The Memorial, almost all of which cashed in their respective division with over half of them never even seeing the courses) is pretty close to phenominal as far as I'm concerned.

If you took SD and arranged a team in accordance with skill level (actually take the best overall competitors) I think we could hold steady with ANY other regional team on any course with the possible exception of NC style stickwood golf. In the case of championship course layouts, I think we would dominate in most scenarios.

However, with Oregon's trifecta of Sprague, Jenkins, Feldberg, followed up with Mason and I'm assuming Sexton, Saulter, etc, it will be a tough battle, and the homefield advantage in this instance may prove to be crucial.

You missed a few... :D

You missed a few... :D


If you'd like to share your complete roster feel free.
I would assume it would be similar to this:

Open:
Feldberg
Jenkins
Sprague
Mason
Sexton
Rich
Cox (I don't think I've ever met this guy)

Masters:
Embree
Saulter
Ruzicka

Grand:
Bayne (If you could find him, lol)

Women:
Bellinger?

That is assuming that these potentials have the $$ to come down. Do I get a prize if I am dead on?

No Cox......hes in Washington now.

No Bellinger..shes working (possibly in Singapore) :(

Bayne will be in SD early....

I could be in the 7th Open spot /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Ive already divulged our "Basic" line up to a SD team Member
/msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
:D

I see your getting more than your fair share of snow and rain.

San Diego should be nice and warm when you guys get here , hopefully above 75 or so.

I'll do what I can to have the place groomed and raked up. Maybe some loose tree branches trimed and eliminate some of those pesky eye poker branches.

Kinda tough this week though , heading up to La Mirada for the SoCal Finals. That course has changed if you have not played it in the last few months.

I hope the San Diego team gets ready for some good competition !!!!!

6|9 > The rest of you.

I must respectfully lodge my complaint with the newest addition to the Morley Field Disc Golf Course: Montezuma's Pyramid (or is it Montezuma's Revenge?) on hole #5. If you haven't seen it yet, it is a 5 to 6-foot high pyramid structure upon which resides the basket for #5. This week the basket is in the C position (I think). I don't know whether the pyramid will stay there, or will move to other positions. I expect to play tomorrow (Wed.) so I'll take a picture to post.

I have a general aversion to contrived obstacles on DG courses. I think there are more than enough natural obstacles available at Morley to test us - we don't need something silly like this. Please, please, please, rip up the plans that Pete Dye developed for the windmill on hole #8 and the shot through the clown's mouth on #19.

Being its basically WINTER here....Ive only 2 weeks left to concentrate on my "Golf game" or lack there of.. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Ive ALREADY got my "FIX" on <font color="green"> Mt Bachelor </font> (http://www.mtbachelor.com/winter/services/dor) ...with only tomorrow morning and 2' of fresh to tackle before its ALL about Disc.

After San Diego..Ill start on my quest for 1,000,000 vertical ft.... :D

On the putting green!!

Thats where you'll find me.....

Hmmmm....That's OB here :D

The ziggurat on 5 is crazy...There will also be one on hole 11, and one on hole 15...The course's new name is Morleypotamia. Normally I don't like artificial obstacles on a disc golf course, but these are fun to play.

Good addition on 5, still hittable for the ace - straight or skip - but makes you be a bit smarter on the putt. Took a par yesterday when I probably would have been two if it was still on the flat. Should increase the spread.

Hey since I don't get down there much :p
How about some pictures :D
Not that I have any thoughts of duplicating
Or is this your idea of homefield advantage for team challenge /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Yeah but can't they put the basket in a tree stump or something instead?

I think Rizbee took some pictures.

Professional Disc Golfer Don Olow demonstrates his putting form on hole #5 (Montezuma's Revenge) at Morley Field. Said Olow after retreiving his disc: "I made the putt OK, but started to get a little light-headed having to retreive my disc from such a high elevation."

As you can see from this second picture, he almost bought the farm pulling his Aviar from the basket...

I disagree about the pyramid increasing the spread, at least among tournament players. I think there will be far fewer 2's, as only those who land very close will risk the wacky putt. Also, some who would have made a run at a long putt and blown by, resulting in a missed come-backer (a 4), will probably now play for the three by running their 2nd shot up against the pyramid.

BTW, my Turbo Twist is a great putting method when you are at the base of the 'mid.

which hole gets the windmill?

Pine Valley . /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Does anyone know when the other two ziggurats will be installed?

I'm sure it will be after the Team tournament.

I'm surprised he doesn't have a pin position yet ,of the basket being suspended from the palm trees on hole # 11. :eek:

Dang , I should never had mentioned that !!!! :D


Here is what I have heard from different people. I'm Not sure what to believe yet.

Hole # 2 Long left and the one by the parking lot. :eek: That could be a OB putt !!!!!!

Hole # 10 on the top of the hill next to the edge. Definitely a dangerous spot. I don't really think that will happen ?

Hole # 11 in the middle of the fairway , just before the palm trees.

Hole # 12 short.

Hole # 15 on top of the hill next to the fence.

Hole # 18 short left making it even higher to putt on the hill , and the short straight position , just past the big fallen eucalyptus tree.

Hole # 19 long.

Some of these may or may not work , but that's what I heard.

I think that it makes the hole EASIER... :p

Bigger Target to hit with the drive. Ill be trying to HIT the "structure". It makes a nice stopping device, where a normal shot would skip past and beyond. :D

That is the tactic that I like.

You can Crush into that position at high speed and it stops right there for a 10 foot putt !!!!!! :D

I just hope those drunk players don't fall off it !!!!!

The basket is on the Pyramid on hole # 5 medium today.

Weather is Awesome. Course is all raked up !!!!! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

That thumber is awesome, if I could throw one I would be at least 3 strokes better per round at Morley!

Way to kick butt at the TeamTourney Dave! I wasn't able to carry your bag, but hopefully the moral support helped out a bit.

It definitely helped, anytime I have friends around it makes me play better. I knew that you couldn't carry my bag because of the ivy, but thanks for rollin.

11 and 15 ????

Out of curiosity, how did the "ziggurats" effect the scoring spread at the Team Tourney? Has anyone broken down the results?

I can tell you that MANY people were just laying up if they were not within 15 ft. I birdied it 2 times and layed up 3 times.

My guess: fewer twos, more threes, fewer three-pluses, especially in the later rounds.

11 and 15 ????

Snapper told me about 15 for sure...not sure about others.

Personally I like the change BUT I also think that SOMETHING needs to be done to "Hide" the structure..ie Build up dirt etc around the pins....so it doesnt look so "Miniture Golfish"
:D

I witnessed the 1st and ONLY ace on #5, Chris Sprague on friday morning /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

I'd like to see a sand covered base and seed the thing to look like a grass covered mound !!!! :eek: :D

The base structure should hold the sand and grass like a golf course green !!!! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Yeah, but the problem is that grass doesn't seem to stand up to foot traffic under a golf basket. Look at all the grass pins at Morley, they typically have a ten foot circular bare patch around the sleeve. I'd be concerned that the grass on the mound wouldn't hold up to the wear and tear.

I was thinking of some kind of low growing ivy or something more durable than grass. I guess it would look funny to have a mound of ivy in the middle of the fairway, though.

I agree. Either way , you would have to put the basket at the other positions for awile until the foundation and growth have matured enough to handle the heavy traffic.

I'll try and be at Morley around 11:30 am today and play a few holes !!!! Care to join me ?

I would be concerned that ivy or another ground cover would be slippery. I see a lot more trouble than it's worth with the pyramids...

Ivy might hold up in the current configuration. Use the "steps" as "beds". IF, (I understand that is a BIG IF) they take hold, they would eventually grow and hang down and cover the stucture making it a little less an "eye sore". This would also leave steps for footing vs building a mound.

Oops, just saw this.
You have my cell #, yes?

Having finally played the course with the pyramid, I must say I don't understand the point either. Morley field already offers a fair share of elevated putts, uphill putts, downhill putts and level putts. I personally think hole 5 was a much better hole, without the huge eye sore. If the object was to make the hole harder, perhaps move the basket deeper, into the canyon or slightly up the hill. This would force a good drive, a well placed mid and a putt. The pyramids are a distraction and I don't think they add much to the play or the course.

Just my 2 cents.

Richard
