Anything official on this tournament yet? Something? How many spots remaining? I get a lot of phone calls asking if I know anything about this when the lines of communication are down. I honestly don't know everything.

According to a local board, there is less than 30 spots remaining.

Spread the word about the 72 limit, the tourney is right at 50 paid pre-reg's and looks to fill day of. You don't want to miss out! The course is looking real good.

Any updates on the course? Looks like it's gonna be soggy tomorrow, but I still cannot wait.

Outstanding turnout, great weather....if only I could putt.
The player package for todays event was way above average.
A Pro line disc, T-shirt, Lowes lanyard, beer huggie, I mean...drink huggie, milkshake, pencil, bumper sticker (Innova too, not one of those tacky Discraft yengs) cap, gloves...
it was HUGE..

Special thanks to Brad Allison and Jimmy Johnson of Lowes (no really, thats the guy) for all the sweet bling and all 40 players who came out and supported. Spiritworks Foundation is a worthy cause and a good time was had by all. Thanks again!

thanks Ray :)

who were the big winners at timber ridge??

Toney repeated his title this year with a comeback from the second card. I believe he shot 55 from yellow and then a hot round 55 from blue tees. Ian got second with 53/58.

Kevin Clark got his first Advanced win and Sheila won the women's div.

Not sure about masters and grandmasters but they all seemed to be shooting hot.

The rain held off until the awards ceremony when some large storms started to roll in...other than that the weather was fantastic and Timber Ridge was, of course, awesome.

Thanks again Vince!

Tim Barr won masters and Scott Bowman won grandmasters.

It was a nice day on a great course, and I played both rounds with some really cool golfers. A big thanks to Vince for all he does for disc golf here in our part of the state.

For all of you who are coming from out of town for the Mid-Atlantic Wide Open this Saturday.

There will be a Friday night Doubles event to showcase the course for those that have not had a real chance to get to know it.

Lookn forward to seeing everyone.

yes hysell i am playn am masters i havnt accepted any cash yet......... :D

man im glad i was a division winner

I'm hoping one day it will sink in to people. :D

And now with Pitts and Zilla both playing PRO Masters, my continuing to cash at the Virginia Open is going to take MUCH better play and not losing my main discs right before the start of each round. :eek:

i thought losing your discs was why you continued to cash...

Great job with the tourney Randy. I had a blast. KP

word KP

Great job Randy and to all the volunters who helped out during the day. There were waders to retreive discs out of the water holes, beverages on hand for break, and the event itself was run in a very timley manner. There was two seperate playoffs and the awards ceremony still started just before 6:00pm. Efficient work like that is appreciated by all, espically the travelers.

I cannot wait to get down and play Bryan park again. a great park with an awesome, fun course that will still make you play golf and do some work.

It was great to see so many people come from all corners of the state. Kudos to Virginians for stepping up to make this a really great tournament. I look forward to seeing all again in the coming events.

Props go out to everyone that helped make this a tournament to be talked about...You know who you are!

Thanks Randy! It was fun...

By the way, on a lost and found question... did anybody turn in a game? I seem to have lost mine between the first and second rounds...

Wow......severe tornado damage in eastern Virginia yesterday. I hope all of our VA disc golfers/families are okay...

Silly and crew are all good in VA! Suffolk seemed to take the brunt of the bad weather...how 'bout all you folks out by Ace Run and Bennetts?

from the looks of it bennett's probably got it worse than ace run since don and frankie are a little south of town.

All we had in Mathews was a 2-hour power outage. Some trees in neighbouring Gloucester got topped and one fell on Route 17 during rush hour at Gloucester Point, right across the bridge from Yorktown.

Other than that, all is good here. Haven't heard about any other damage.

if you're ever at southpark mall in colonial heights and it gets so much as cloudy get the hell out of there. this is the second time it's been hit by a tornado in not too distant history. last time it was the walmart that got blasted.

Nice! :cool:

from Andrew on another board:
Even with the beautiful weather, turnout was terrible to say the least Although there were quite a few tournaments we had to compete with (seneca, paw paw, loriella sunday doubles ). If you were looking to get off the waiting list or switch over to the am side, you definitely missed your opportunity! However, NOVA local Robby Kennon is our DGCNV sponsored rep for the Virginia Open shooting a 56 from short tees (RRRating of 955 b/c of mostly longer baskets and lots of tree growth). Congratulations Robby!

More geezer's than whippersnapper's :D



...and whippersnapper geezers like you, zilla, and keirn.

Is this where the TD proclaims "No way at one of my events does the Masters winner get more $$$$ than the Open winner."

stirring the pot...... /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

you won't hear that bs out of me. added cash will be awarded at a rate of 1.5 to 2 times as much per player in open compared to per player in masters- both divisions will pay out 50% less one. if the masters champ makes more $ then so be it.

So much for competition and reward being about the best score of the day. Lame

no, not lame. i will not artificially prop up the open division because the masters were more on the ball when it came to registering. open and ladies will get a larger slice of the sponsorship pie relative to masters/gm. other than eliminating masters/advanced and herding everyone into one division (heard it before- don't agree for a variety of reasons) what would your suggestion be? i am still of the opinion that age is a more valid means of dividing players than an obviously flawed ratings system.

plus the open champion will be the one who leaves with the biggest trophy.

Mid-Atlantic Masters Tour

Has a nice ring to it... :D

^^ is that another note to self?!? :o

You and I haven't really had this discussion John (so I don't know your reasons for using age as a criteria for divisions)- but it's lame for alot of reasons - none of which have to do with how fast someone can register for an event. And it's not your event that's lame (not even close :) ) - It's the whole system that allows inequitable reward for THE SAME SCORE THAT IS LAME. Make sense of that for me and perhaps I will change my opinion.

My suggestion - see MSDGC : Men - Men over 50, entry fee scaled by rating. Give trophies to "shadow" division winners (the prize for the best over 40 guy you're giving a rock to anyway) - pay deep. There's no logic in giving a guy who shoots the same as the #4 Open guy twice as much money just because he's over 40 - none.

I understand the want and need of age separated divisions, but 40 just seems absurd to me. If it were up to me, 50 is where the Masters division would begin. These guys that are well capable of kicking my butt get to pick and choose where to play based on their competition and payouts. A 40 year old shooting a worse score than me certainly did not earn the bigger check in my opinion. 40 is no old man. I'm with Craigger, lame. Also, the ratings system isn't THAT flawed. It's a fairly accurate account of how you play in PDGA tournaments. While not everyone's rating is accurate, I strongly believe most are. If you play a decent amount of tournaments your rating is a pretty good representation of your skill level.

40 is when the effects of gravity begin to show their effect on a body. Some bodies age better than others, but I think 40 is still a good age for Masters. Remember when 35 was Masters? Now that was absurd.

If I recall correctly, Mr. Biscoe was having serious back issues in his late 30's. I think it would be unfair to expect him, or any other person similarly afflicted, to continue competing in Open until the age of 50.

With all due respect to the valued opinions of others, I feel that for various assundry reasons, both social and physical, that 40 years of age is a good minimum for Masters.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

An impressively logical argument PP :)

I'm 29 and have a bad shoulder, can I have a new division please? :-)

There's no logic in giving a guy who shoots the same as the #4 Open guy twice as much money just because he's over 40 - none.



I don't know where "twice the money" is coming from in this discussion, but simple math shows that if you have more Masters than Open, then it is logical that #1 MPM is going to win more money than #4 MPO. :D

TD's have a number of choices when it comes to hosting an event: traditional age-based divisions, select age-based divisions (like MSDGC), ratings based divisions and, of course, one division (like USDGC). Likewise, players have choices as to which events they decide to compete.

Ian, you are playing far too well lately to be in a protected division.

The answer is no. :D

yes but it also makes just as much sense to add the most money into open where the most and toughest competition is.

I will be attending this event simply b/c I love the course, I fully support what John does for disc golf, the meal is incredible and I just love playing tournaments....

BUT

more masters than open is pretty lame, esp when I'm a pretty good open player and there are 4 masters rated with or higher than me and 2 more with 2 points of me.

Ken Climo is forty.

more masters than open is pretty lame, esp when I'm a pretty good open player and there are 4 masters rated with or higher than me and 2 more with 2 points of me.



So let me take a stab at this....

I'm guessing you would consider it less lame if:

* Biscoe had limited the number of players eligible for the old men's division.
* Biscoe had lowered the entry fee for MPM so even if the geezers outnumbered the whippersnappers, their payout would be less.
* Biscoe stipulated that any geezer with a rating higher than MTL would be required to play open.

:)

An impressively logical argument PP :)

I got more where that came from :D

Well said.

based on current field make-up and projected added cash it appears to me that first place will be approximately the same for masters and open.

:eek:

I can't wait to play this tourney!

Deadline for getting your name on the ballot is fast approaching. Who's going to replace the venerable Mr. Biscoe?

wow more masters than open nice sounds like all u young boys need to hurry up an get old oops i mean older.ive been reading some threads ,man i was called bagger in my advaced days now im bagging so to speak at 40 come on man...............oh yeah i hurt too

Climo is baggin in the Open division!

most people seem to care more about cashing every time than competing at the level that they are actually capable. i think in too many divisions, people are getting used to cashing while playing bad or just cashing regardless of play. theres no real incentive to become better, or to have a great weekend. why try to play your best in open and get rightfully rewarded, when you can play alright and make the same money. its like tiger dropping from pro because hes sick of not winning every one. why stay in open, he might get third. theres no reason for that, when he can dominate the ams everytime. fortunate for us, he likes to compete at a level hes at.

i also believe people of a high caliber play better when faced with higher competition. either because they have to, or are inspired to. with great players shooting good golf instead of great golf, the sport actually slightly suffers.

Here is the current flyer. The limit for the tournament is 90. If I capped it at 72 it would probably fill. With the current popularity of disc golf in the Richmond area our weekly series sets records every week. Last night we had 63 players. Get your entry in now to insure your spot.

14 years until I can play masters!!!! I can't wait! Can I pre-reg for the 2022 HHO yet? Master's please. My 2 cents: 40 is arbitrary. Why not a 30 and up division as well? Very arbitrary.

Wingspan divisions are where its at. Then the mini me's like melt (sorry erik, its true) don't have to play against these monkey armed giants.

Erik claims to have over 6 foot wingspan. He can tie his shoelaces without bending over.

I must have the weakest sauce in town, then. My hyper-simian wingspan is just over 7 feet &amp; I am ecstatic to crack 350 with a full-blast huck (downhill, of course). (And can't hang with either cefire or cowlover in the scoring department).

enough whining from the young and able-bodied...bump.

I invented and perfected whining.

Biscoe, Jerry Henry showed up last night.

cool! he works for a company out of richmond these days- i saw him a couple of months ago at the zappa plays zappa show.

how do ya'll finish edge league in daylight with all those people?

14 years until I can play masters!!!! I can't wait! Can I pre-reg for the 2022 HHO yet? Master's please. My 2 cents: 40 is arbitrary. Why not a 30 and up division as well? Very arbitrary.

Tom will be playing in Columbus, Ohio and Knoxville, Tennessee, 6/28 and 6/29. Tickets go on sale next Friday, May 16th. It has been a dream of mine to see Tom live for years, but I've never had the chance. His last tour sold out in minutes, I expect this one will as well. Ticketmaster has a system in place to try to prevent scalpers, since there is such a high demand for his tickets. Tickets will be limited to two per person, and will be will call only. I haven't decided yet which of the two shows I will see, I'm gonna try to plan it around some nice disc golfing. Probably whichever area has the better courses, or courses on the way.

If anyone is interested in such a trip, or has any input please feel free to post or give me a call.

Wingspan divisions are where its at. Then the mini me's like melt (sorry erik, its true) don't have to play against these monkey armed giants.



mini me? coming from a man your size you absolutely must be referring to my driving distance. in that case, until all the courses are wide open with 480 ft holes, i have no problem with competing with the monkey arms giants
:D

John, we finish easily in the daylight. The problem is that the scoring and payout happens after dark. The majority of the people are usually gone.

I dare not insult your D minibarry. I only refer to the fact that you are one of about 5 people on tournament day who I see at eye level. I also plan on competing in the minime division in 2009...

i dont think you need a minime division distance finalist

walked through hawk hollow with vray and benry this morning- the flood which mauled everything vti weekend 2007 was nothing compared to the chaos wrought by the 6 inches of rain we got 2 nights ago.

all bridges washed out- the 2 steel ones are still not found, hopefully they are merely submerged rather than in lake anna. they only weigh 400 pounds or so after all. the 2 telephone pole ones are found and won't be a huge problem to move back into place with the tractor.

baskets of holes 15 and 16 both washed away but hung up in trees and are found thankfully.

for those familiar with the course- the basket of hole 10 has debris in the chain assembly!!! water was approximately half way to the tee of hole 13!!!!! we estimated that the creek was 250-300 feet across at it's widest and likely 15 feet deep in some spots. absolutely freaking insane.

course is closed to casual play until further notice- i hope to have it playable sometime in early june.

also found a 2006 pdga tour player pin today, let me know if you may have lost one down there at some point.

once the h2o recedes i imagine i'll find lots of discs that were lost long ago.

for those familiar with the course- the basket of hole 10 has debris in the chain assembly!!! water was approximately half way to the tee of hole 13!!!!! we estimated that the creek was 250-300 feet across at it's widest and likely 15 feet deep in some spots. absolutely freaking insane.





holy crap!!

That is INCREDIBLY disappointing. PM or email me if I can be of help.

water down some more this a.m.- one steel bridge found submerged near it's point of origin- water still too deep to tell on the one from 7- hopefully it's right there too. smaller bridge between 11 and 12 still unaccounted for (and likely in the lake)- more heavy rain tonight. fun fun fun.

big down tree which used to go across fairway of 8 conveniently moved.

I get to be in Norfolk next week, are there weekly's at Bayville or Newport News? If so, when? Thanks

I think they do a doubles thing on Tuesdays at NN around 5:30 or 6 PM.

Yes Jeff, we do have weeklies on Tuesday night about 5:30. We are doing doubles now, but start singles soon. I'll be in Carolina all next week but Tim Dempsey is usually around. $ 5 entry and $ 1 ace pot.

OK thanks. I probably won't be able to make it Tuesday. There's a planned activity that I have to be at that night :(

Man, I have been really pleased w/ myself with setting my personal best (49) at Pratt Park at States until . . .
I got the results in the mail today, showing me w/ a 58. I confirmed w/ the TD, then I got to thinking, how is that possible? Now, I had visited Laszlo's quite a few times before that round, and I started on 4. I'd bet my right thumb that I added up the card after playing 18 and waiting at least a half hour for accuracy (I kinda remember doing that), finished the round, then walked back up the hill, mentally blacking out three 3s on 1, 2, &amp; 3. What a drunken tool. Kinda reminds me of looking for my drive for 5 minutes at The Grange on Friday, only to discover it already picked up &amp; in my bag. PBR = bad!

Now I feel like a jerk-store for not exactly bragging, but at least proudly acknowledging a score that I didn't even come close to attaining on that day. Sorry to everybody (including me) who mistakenly thought that I was a decent disc golfer; I really didn't mean to mislead. :o

Nice shooting ray ! I think. :D

I like to add up all of my two's and say I shot a four for the round.

You still get twos?

as ren would say i'm an eedeeot too. looks like i'll remain as sc.

praise be to biscoe. what made you come around?

i'm powermad. i can't bear the thought of not continuing to rule with my iron fist!!!

John,

I am sorry but I cannot believe you are powermad. Your personality does not lean in that direction.

I am convinced that you are a control freak that cannot imagine anyone being able to perform to the level that you and everyone else in VA has come to expect from their SC.

Kirk

Glad you are sticking around in the position John.

...also, it gives me something to complain about...

John,
Glad to hear you are continuing on as SC. I can't imagine a better person for the role. You may be an eedeeot, but we're all rooting for you.

John and several others lobbied extensively for me to take this position, but I felt I was not the right person to take it on. I appreciate the confidence they have in me, but I think someone more in touch with the pro scene is the right person. There are others who meet that requirement, but none better than John.

It's all going exactly as I have planned.

Glad you are sticking around in the position John.



Me too!

Players may not decline the invitation and pass it on to the next highest finisher, even if they know that they can�t attend. Prizes at the BRI will be proportional: The Open division will receive two shares of the prize pool (40%), while the other three divisions will have one share each(20%).

First candidate for Hawk Hollow Brew contest hit the fermenter last night. In honor of the Seneca VTI squad - it is called the INB Red Ale :)

Sounds like a winner to me.

First candidate for Hawk Hollow Brew contest hit the fermenter last night. In honor of the Seneca VTI squad - it is called the INB Red Ale :)



So what's the original gravity on that baby Craig?

1056 - And I got some yeast from a local brew pub that got it chugging away overnight. I think I'm gonna try and recycle that strain into another batch.

I'm brewing 2morrow. No name yet, but an old ale style. Shooting for OG of 1085-1090 or so w/ 68 IBU. Got the french oak barrels ready for puttin' her up until October.

The gold medal winner won't be brewed until my blackberries come in, though.

Test batch of "Hollow Pale" is in the tanks! Broke my hydrometer...oops. My guess is 1060(ish). Thinking about a nice Carmel Porter as well...yummy!

I need to look into being a non-playing official at the HH Open and perhaps a beer judge. Sounds like there will be some great brews.

The gold medal winner won't be brewed until my blackberries come in, though.



You're not expecting fruit beer to be ready that quickly are you Ray? I don't have much experience, but I did a Cherry Porter using Paw Paw cherries - and it took a year before it was ready.

It'll be perfect. I use very little fruit (just enough to tease) &amp; very aggressive on-yeast aging (using my secret yeast suspension technique) to get to fully ripe flavor in 100ish days for both fruit/veg beers &amp; hi-gravs (which is 95% of what I brew these days).

Cool,
sounds like you have more experience with it than I do. What exactly is a "yeast suspension"? (Please note - I didn't ask what the secret technique was - as it is obviously a secret :) )

Isn't the reason fruit beers take longer is because of the complexity of the sugars?

How much fruit is very little?

Yeast suspension is keeping the surface area of live yeast/green beer contact maximized for as long as possible, as opposed to letting the yeast settle to the bottom of the fermenter (or skimming it from the top). This can be done by agitating the fermenter periodically, but I have found that to produce off flavors, besides being inefficient. My technique is no huge secret (except to people I choose to keep it from); PM me if you want specifics.

Fruit beers tend to take longer for several reasons:
1) I tend to add fruit to my secondary fermenter, so that makes the effective OG higher with more sugar being added
2) The complexity &amp; variability of the sugars in the fruit, as well as the physical structure of fruit, makes the fermentables less available to the yeast
3) The acids in fruit just seem to need "mellowing" to not have an over-assertive character in the finished beer, something that, in my experience, contact with live yeast seems to mysteriously hasten.

In the mid-90s, I was a commercial brewer for several years &amp; teacher of yeast management &amp; cask conditioning seminars, so these techniques are really more a product of hundreds of trials &amp; errors (and those of my colleagues) more than rigorously scientific study, but they have worked to my complete satisfaction over the years.

I'm an OG yo

I'm getting the urge for a Lindemans Framboise or Kriek.

THANK YOU for supporting the SHENANDOAH SHAG!

Tee time 10 AM. At least 3 divisions with 3 players required to open any division. 2 rounds on one of the best public courses in the state of VA! This is not a PDGA event, so I will now return you to our sponsors...



Why do you guys plan tournaments when i'm on vacation?

Yeah, you too Brandon.

We're planning on one each month in July, August, Sept, and Oct at NQ. Surely you will be able to make to at least on of them. See you Saturday in the blazing heat!

I'll be on vacation in late August and early September. Please adjust your schedule.

Chris is just scared of NQ. :D

...and paw paw.

I'm not scared. I'm trying to play more and more every day. I just can put it in my schedule right now to play events out of state.

Chris Hysell's B.O. is just hours away... Can you smell it? :D

Was it hot today or was it just me? Fine Richmond weather for sure. Bang bang beaches.... Even the ticks was sweatin'...

The Golden Ticket series is comprised of four PDGA C-tiers and culminates at the Blue Ridge Invitational at Elk Creek in Appomattox on August 17.

Players may not decline the invitation and pass it on to the next highest finisher, even if they know that they can�t attend. Prizes at the BRI will be proportional: The Open division will receive two shares of the prize pool (40%), while the other three divisions will have one share each(20%). Two dollars come out of each entry at the four PDGA events. All unclaimed Ace Pots will go to the BRI prize pool.

Just a reminder that you can show off your disc golf skills at the New Quarter Monthly on June 22. As a bonus, the NNDGC is adding $100 to the ace pot!

Sorry, News was at 11, missed it myself

Looks like Tommy D is playing hookey. You are busted dude! :D

that was a great segment. Good camerawork, which was better once it was snipped together later. Never saw the second clip though.

so did somebody loose the scores for the shag? Did your dog eat your homework, or did you fall off the face of the earth.

just surprised to not see the scores posted after two weeks.

Scores are up! Big thanks to Jason and Daniel for their help! I couldn't do it without y'all.

Congrats to Tyler Lemcke, Sherry Barlet, Mitch Hoeppner and Chris Argue for earning Golden Tickets to the Blue Ridge Invitational.

Tyler destroyed it and cruised to victory in the second round including ten straight birdies. He was on FIRE!!! Congrats Tyler!

If you've never won a PDGA in the Open division, come to one of my tournaments! I've run seven PDGAs and had six first-time winners in the Open division.

Us Ncians had a great time with you Virginians, I will be playing AM2 in Rocky Mount!

The Sontag Disc Golf Course is Virginia�s newest 18 hole course located inside of the Franklin County Recrecation Park just south of Rocky Mount, VA. The course measures over 7000� from the white tees and is a stern test of your disc golf game while being fun to play at the same time. There are Red (4800�) and Blue (over 8000�) tees so the course can be enjoyed by players of all skill levels.

DIRECTIONS
FROM NORTH OR SOUTH, TAKE US 220 TO JUST SOUTH OF ROCKY MOUNT, VA, TURN ONTO ROUTE 619 (SONTAG ROAD) AND FOLLOW FOR NEARLY 3 MILES. THE ENTRANCE TO THE FRANKLIN COUNTY RECREATION PARK WILL BE ON YOUR RIGHT, TURN IN AND FOLLOW THE SIGNS TO THE DISC GOLF COURSE, PLAYER CHECK-IN AND MEETING WILL BE HELD UNDER THE BIG PAVILLION

Golden Ticket Series 2008
Timber Ridge Open, Bedford - April 20

Two dollars come out of each entry at the four PDGA events. All unclaimed Ace Pots will go to the BRI prize pool.

Come on NC guys, the Sontag Course is only 70 miles north of the Triad area and is guaranteed to be worth the ride.

Likewise all other Virginians, you all need to come down check us out down here at Sontag as well if you have not done so already.

The course is in it's finest shape ever as of right now, as all fairways in the woods have been re-trimmed of sapling growth, and the gravel tees have been groomed within the last week as well. White tees play 7220' and the red tees play 4820', both par 65. Par is easily attainable from the reds but not as much so from the whites. Plus, if this is not challenging enough, there are blue tees play to a legnth of 8745', and is as challenging a round of disc golf as you'll ever want to play.

Hope to see you out on 7/20.

8th Shenandoah Shag results are up...

Thanks to all who came out to play...hope you all had a great time!

AS for the delay...ALL tournament information in my car...car decides to break down...car goes to garage with tourny information...get car back...post results.

I apologize to all, but 1, for the delay.

Brandon

The Triad will be represented well. I will spread the word at Tuesday Twilight tomorrow, which will be held at Lake Reidsville at 6pm (random Dubs). Lake Reidsville is 20 mins south of Danville, if any VAs can make it out.

We all look forward to playing Sontaq, as Jeff tells us it is super sweet. Perhaps we can get up there this Sunday for a practice round. To early to tell.

See ya 7/20 for sure.

For those who haven't played Sontag, it is worth the drive! It is definitely one of the top 3 public courses in VA along with Loriella and NQ. It is hands down the most challenging public course in VA. Come see what the hype's all about. There's a huge shelter that has a hundred picnic tables where the tournament headquarters and lunch will be. This park is first class, too. This course raises the bar for public courses in VA. Come check it out!

i will be coming up Friday morn to play in the qualifing event at hawk hollow and loriella.im bringing my a,b and c game with me

Who will be this yeers' Dark Horse??

I haven't seen anything posted about the Bash...is it on AUG 2nd (AMS) and AUG 3 (PRO)? B tier?

Who will be this yeers' Dark Horse??



Count me in. I just need the mercury to climb to about 110 and I've got a chance -- wait for the heat to drop everyone else in their tracks and I've got a chance... I've never shot well at HH (though I love that course), but Loriella from the longs is all mine.

Are you coming down, Tony?

make sure you are hydrated well before coming and bring plenty of water- Hawk Hollow in the summertime has already claimed 2 victims.

i'd say ian is the favorite as well as he's been playing lately, tone tone has always done well at these things too, melt gibson would be my dark horse pick if he can stay away from the ladies...errr...i mean cattle.

make sure you are hydrated well before coming and bring plenty of water- Hawk Hollow in the summertime has already claimed 2 victims.





:(

well im glad im not mentioned i may be the darker horse

...or the old nag.

deg why i got to be an old nag

I will be looking for some floor space for the Bash!? I would like to come down Friday night and sleep in a driveway, hallway, bath tub, where ever anyone can spare some space. please PM me if this is possible. Thanks

Ian Liddell dominates both days winning by 4 or 5 the first day and 7 today to take the Virginia USDGC spot. He shot 2 55's at Hawk Hollow and a 58 on Loriella long to long- very impressive.

Tom Coffin won advanced both days, Vegan Ray won intermediate on saturday.

my feet hurt.

Dorey Doubles...

Jeff Keirn and John Roy teamed up and shot -17, -15, -17

James Camden and myself also managed a -17 but ****...couldn't hang with them NN boys.

Congrats, Ian!

way to go ian im sure you will represent va well good shootn

We love coming up there and playing with you guys, always a good time. Hope we can make it to Big Branch, that place rocks as well.
