I just went from 6 to 12

The USWDGC is upon us and on behalf of the NNDGC and CR Electrical we wish all our Ladies from Virginia a safe journey and Good Luck is this weekend's event. I know you will represent well and hopefully have a great time.

Representing Advanced Division is our own Wendy Boettcher, and You Betch-er she's gonna play well.
In Advanced Masters we have Dee Proffitt who is looking to add a USWDGC win to her World's title.
In Advanced Grand Masters we have Carol Silverthorn, who it seems has more wins in PDGA events than Tiger woods in the PGA.
Sherri Morris will be playing for the Intermediate title and the other ladies in her division better be on their game. Go Sherri !!
Finally Jenn DeVries will be representing in Recreational Divison and she is playing well and often of late. Jenn will have her caddy, Walt Winnington, winner of the Elk Creek Classic along to support and advise.

If you see these lovely ladies, wish them well. This is a very cool thing and I'm confident all our Ladies will be deep in the cash.

Great job Bob Cannon. Looking forward to next year's challenge.

Well i'm sorry I missed it. I'll blame it on Mike Bonday this time.

Alright fellas you gotta give it up for the Ladies of Virginia who took part in the USWDGC this past weekend. We sent 5 to the event and they nearly all cashed. Congrats to Dee Proffitt and Carol Silverthorn for their wins in FM1 and FG1 respectively, Wendy Beottcher cashes in FW1 taking home 5th spot and a 2nd place finish for Jenn DeVries in FW3. Sherri Morris gave it her best shot and represented well in FW2 but finished out of the cash.

We are all proud of the effort and hopefully you guys had fun.

Good Luck next year.

Here�s a primmer for those unaware of the symbolism behind the bruiser artwork.
http://i536.photobucket.com/albums/ff323/BluemonTimber/Bluemont/squirerockwell300dpi.jpg

Base photo of "the" tree was was taken just after the grass had sprouted on the mound. Photo-shopped it to make the grass look more even and did some serious cut/paste & contrast enhancement to make the basket more visible.

Squirrel tail and thumber disc are taken from a �peach� roc Spencer Thurman did in the late 80�s. Artwork was hand drawn by Randy Lahm�s father. It wouldn�t work on the discs but at least it made it on the shirt.
http://i536.photobucket.com/albums/ff323/BluemonTimber/Misc/squirreldisc.jpg

Pretty sure she won the fight! Best quirky bruise symbolism I could come up with. Considered asking Mike Trapasso to "drag up" for the pic but never got around to it.
http://www.artexpertswebsite.com/pages/artists/artists_l-z/rockwell/Rockwell_GirlWithBlackEye1953.jpg

Da�dog is Super Pretzel (Logic) belonging to former DGCNV club president Andrew Rivers. Pretzel is DGCR member #15608 (209 courses played) and I just set him a friend request.
http://i536.photobucket.com/albums/ff323/BluemonTimber/Bluemont/pretzellogic500.jpg

The Hawk represents the resident hawk(s) living at Bluemont.(Within the DC Capital beltway) The image was copied from somewhere since the photo I took did not have high enough resolution for the stamp.

So.....Sunday's Fall Colors event is "All Open Divisions". That is just two divisions.....Open and Women's Open. There will be no pro masters, pro grandmasters or pro senior grandmasters?

For some reason Tim's entry is blank from this computer. Is it a flyer for the tournament?

Shirts will NOT be an option for the Wind Up.
PDGA signup should be operational later this week.
Future flyers and entry fees will denote a $10 discount for PDGA members.

So.....Sunday's Fall Colors event is "All Open Divisions". That is just two divisions.....Open and Women's Open. There will be no pro masters, pro grandmasters or pro senior grandmasters?

Ummm.. No that would be incorrect. We will offer Men's and Women's Open (or Pro), Open Masters (or Pro), Open Grandmasters (or Pro) (C'mon Will, Scotty, Jeff, Lewis, etc.). We haven't had Open Senior Grandmaster players in the 9 or so years I've been involved, but hey, they are more than welcome. As is everyone else. Check it...

As usual NQ will open to all tourney players on Friday before the event for FREE!

We are looking to host an Open (or Pro) Doubles Tourney on Saturday at NQ with the course in the tourney layout. We will pay out according to turnout and the remaining money will be added to the Sunday Open (or Pro) event.

Questions?? Just call.

"We are looking to host an Open (or Pro) Doubles Tourney on Saturday at NQ with the course in the tourney layout. We will pay out according to turnout and the remaining money will be added to the Sunday Open (or Pro) event."

Is Saturday Doubles BYOP or random draw?

Jeff

I had planned BYOP and I'm thinking one division, but that is subject to change. I want to get input from the players. If there are only 4 Open players and 10 Masters I would say one division but if the Advanced players play up that could be two divisions. Note the careful use of the phrase "OPEN Doubles Tourney" instead of PRO. Open to all players.

Nothing wrong with naming a tournament "Open" which offers professional and amateur divisions, including age-based / gender-based divisions. "Open Masters" or "Open Grandmasters" is incorrect because those are not open divisions. Referring to "open divisions" instead of "pro divisions" is a common mistake made by folks all over the globe.

I'm just sayin'....;)

NQ is now in the Tournament layout and ready to play. All pins have been moved, temporary signs installed and Blue markers for each tee are complete. There is still a little here and there but overall the course looks and plays AWESOME!!!

Forgot that I never posted the buzzz and mini fundraiser artwork on this forum

I have a pic of the $20 buzzz but I'm too scared to go back to the site that gave my last computer a virus. R.I.P.

There's a nice sized Open field at that event.

Over forty percent of the registered players are in the Open division.

OB has been flagged

It took nearly five hours to mark the entire course.
Thanks to Tom Coffin for flagging holes 1 & 2 and Tom Usselman for helping with the remainder of the course.

OB is marked with three different methods.
Orange flags and OB Stakes on holes 1-3
White Flags and OB Stakes on holes 4 and 18 (Hole 4 has some safe areas behind the thorns on the left and In the trees on the right)
The remainder of the course is white flags only.
We tried to get as close to the thorns as possible but many locations were flagged at the mow line to improve flag visibility.

Latest Weather Channel wind forecast is 8 MPH out of the SSW so expect 10 to 15 MPH winds on the higher course elevations.

Late Fees go into effect at Midnight.

I will be there on Friday to interpret the flags

I will be there on Friday to interpret the flags

It's always good to have a certified flag interpreter on site.

Late registrations pouring in for the Wind Up, waiting for call backs from 4 players, 15 spots remain.

So, what time do we tee on Sat, for the pro doubles at New Quarter?

Scores are up!

Thanks to all 62 players that came out and supported Fall Colors the 13th AM. To everyone else, sorry you missed it.

You still have a chance though......

New Quarter today!!!

Now do it one more time

I just want to make sure everyone knows that Tim Dempsey is the one responsible for the current beautiful, manicured look of the New Quarter disc golf course. Yes, I was in charge of getting it built, but Tim has taken a keen interest in carrying out the little landscaping details that make the course look so distinctive. He also drew the new signs that include the long pin positions.

To Tim and all those who assisted him in that effort, thank you so much!!!

Thanks John (http://www.sharkysshots.com/albums/userpics/10002/DSC_8144.jpg) great weekend I (http://www.sharkysshots.com/albums/userpics/10002/IMG_0369-1.JPG) had a real good time at both events. Locals (http://www.sharkysshots.com/albums/userpics/10002/IMG_0377-1.JPG) Fall Colors (http://www.sharkysshots.com/albums/userpics/10002/IMG_0371-1.JPG) for sure! Slide show! (http://www.sharkysshots.com/displayimage.php?album=203&pid=9702&slideshow=5000) (A couple few pics from Poorhouse Farm in WV slipped into the show ...)

Wowser...

Mark the slideshow is awesome. Great shots. I forgot how pretty Newport News can be in the Fall, I appreciate the perspective. Thanks to you, our winners, the ladies for lunch and all the other folks for coming out and playing our event. Please come back and bring lots of friends.

Fall Colors has got to be one of the prettest tournaments ever. Great shots Sharky!
John; wonderful job of dealing with the rapture of running a tournament.
Tim; The course was emaculant!!!!! I do not think I have ever seen New Quarter look this great. New Quarter is deffantly one of my top 3 courses in the state!

OMG.
John. what ectasy did you get from running a tournament? I want some of that.

Any GMs planning on playing tour de richmond? I guess the question would also have to be asked of the TD - do you plan to have a GM division if 3 or more sign up?

Jeff
rumor has it that mitch hopner; scottie bowman, lewis g. and will is debating the issue. I am pretty sure that will knows what mitch and scottie are doing. I can give you will's number if you want to txt or call me. I think you have it in the club stuff.

OMG.
John. what ectasy did you get from running a tournament? I want some of that.

Hovey crushed the Open by 8 (95)
Britt and Liddell tied for 2nd (103)
Coffin won GM by 3 (104)
Matt Rice won AM by 2 (104)
Carol Silverthorn also crushed FW1 by 10 (84 : no final nine)
...
Article in the Lorton Patch can be found here:
http://lorton.patch.com/articles/perfect-day-for-panic-at-pohick

Hovey and Erik Smith tied after
18 at -9 - in the playoff Hovey took it
I came in 3rd with a -6

we (nova) took a hit on glowhick
only 10 showed up - but it was really fun!
I think it was just too much disc golf for
folks after playing the super course layout all day

for future glow events which we will
have because the park was excited about
it all and we have a lot of leftover material
- we'll target a friday evening

What is the best PDGA CTier payout strategy?
I've tried several options
50% field
40%
players packages
trophy only in the mix
top 3!!!

what percentage of entry fees do you use?
(we have a lot of facility costs up here in DC and
then there's the pdga sanctioning, insurance,
and players fees)

should tournament directors and officials be paid
for their work?

pay? never. It costs time and money to run an event. You get paid with smiles and pats on the back.

WOW! I really liked Hysells post. I now see why the Battlefield is the BEST payout tournament in the state!

Hi everybody! The BRAWL is starting on December 18 at Elk Creek. The second tournament will be on a SUNDAY on January 2nd at Big Branch. Tee times will be 9:30 just like last year. The remainder of the schedule and details will be released ASAP once myself and the TDs set it. Thanks for your patience. Let's get ready to BRAWL!!!

should tournament directors and officials be paid
for their work?

When there's plenty of added cash I like the idea of spreading the wealth a bit and paying 50%. That way everyone gets a taste, and hopefully feeds their hunger. Also, makes it less stressful to a Pro in a small field worried about losing money all the time.

At this moment in time I don't think there's enough money to go around to be paying officials and TD's. 1st place at a c-tier is still only $100-$200.

Trophy only division should only be an option if their money goes into the Open purse IMO. Why else would it be offered?

Trophy only division should only be an option if their money goes into the Open purse IMO. Why else would it be offered?

couple of reasons:
trophy only is for ams that want to play pro without
impacting their am status

or really anyone that just wants
to play but cannot afford the higher rates

but more importantly, the lower entry of 'trophy only' helps
to cover expenses of the tournament which might
not be met if there's a low turnout in the field.

Their numbers should not impact payout #'s at all.

here is a great sumation of the fun going to happen this weekend by Mark from the Cedar Club:

******* Seneca Ice Bowl this Saturday ******

Details: http://www.md-discgolf.com/phpbb3/viewt ... f=2&t=3269

You should come out. Entry fees go to the Maryland Food Bank, which is has particularly strong need this winter with the struggling economy.

This is the first day of a MD vs. VA competition. If you can make it both to Seneca on Saturday and to Giles Run (a great course near the old Lorton Prison in VA) on Sunday that would be great, but if you can only make it to Seneca on Saturday, we need you. Everyone who comes out helps us beat VA no matter how you play. We particularly want women, juniors, and seniors (60+), their contributions are doubled. The contributions from legends (70+) are doubled again. Women legends would be the bees' knees. Bring your wives, girlfriends, children, and parents. What could be better than playing outside as a family in the winter.

Lunch will be provided. Last year a good time was had by all.

The course is at its best:
* no ticks
* no gnats
* no mosquitoes
* no stilt grass
* low humidity
* not too hot
* well groomed
* perfect for rollers
* can pretty much guarantee it won't have rain

Plus, if you have not been out recently, the tees signs are in and look great! Come check them out.

The gate will open at 8:30. 10:00 tee time.

THIS EVENT WILL NOT BE CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER

Any of y'all know what the closest USDGC (or whatever name you want to call it) qualifying event is going to be for Virginia? I know Atlanta Open is one, but it sure would be nice if there was one here or in NC or MD.

And, how do the qualifiers work? Do you play your normal divison or do you have to play open? Just wondering...

Thanks in adavnce!

The Virginia rep is usually chosen in the summer with the lowest combined scores from two events. One is at Hawk Hollow and the other is at Loriella. There are usually a few qualifiers on the east coast throughout the year.

that is likely to change this year... bob and i are working on it currently- may simply be the "something other than the grange" open...

Folks I'm pretty sure I've just been part of some Virginia Disc Golf history. If not, oh well it was still worth it.

The clubs of Newport News and Bayville just hosted their 14th Annual Ice Bowl, which is pretty cool by itself. But the related numbers are just as awesome. Check it...

6 players to a hole
3 ghost groups
120 players
Over 500 pounds of food
Over $ 2500 raised for the Rick tortone ALS Fund

It will take a minute for it all to sink in but I'm just amazed. Thanks to everyone that came out and supported and everyone that made it happen. You guys are the finest group of humans I've been around. I think we just raised the bar.

Please come!

Are these Ice Bowls PDGA Sanctioned? When I see something on the PDGA site I would think so.

in an effort to get as many $'s going to the foodbank
we decided not to sanction the superclass
icebowl with the pdga this year
it is, however, registered with the icebowl hq.

also wanted to see how the scoring would go at bluemont
thinking about traveling the tourney each year to a different
nova course. if superclass ratings survive another year, we'll
likey sanction next years superclass icebowl...

BTW it's this Sunday - come on out!

Kicking around the idea of having a "C" tier tournament on one of the longest lighted days of the year (Saturday 18 June). One day tournament would consist of FOUR, yes FOUR rounds at Loriella Park:
0730 - long tees
1100 - short tees
230 pm - long tees
6 PM - short tees

Any interest in something like this?

I'd be up for it, I like the idea.

Am day of the Loriella Challenge is full....

Will Pros play New Quarter on Sunday for the Killer B's?

i dont think so ...

Sunday 1/2 of Killer B's is at Newport News Park for ALL divisions. Format likely to be long tees both rounds for the open/master divisions and short/long for remaining divisions. We don't want Newport News to become the forgotten park. There would likely be time to play New Quarter after the tournament. Rounds at Newport News don't take very long as compared to NQ. We have "No Quarter at New Quarter" coming up in the beginning of May. Flyers for NQ@NQ will be posted soon.

Sounds good. Glad there will still be two B-Tiers at New Quarter this year. Always willing to travel for that course.

APRIL 3rd --- SHERANDO SPARTAN - ODDS Tournament - B-Tier

There will be NO LUNCH available for the tournament - the New Town Tavern closed last year. Anyone who sent $$$ for lunch will be refunded their $$$. Please spread the word about NO LUNCH being available....Thanks.

For the sans lunch flyer / information please click link below...

http://www.spotsydiscgolf.com/images/2011sherandoFlyer.pdf

Please note that there is a $10 off entry fees with PRE-REGISTRATION

PDGA registration list will be up tomorrow (Thursday) for the Sherando Spartan

__________________________________________________ _____________

Other news from the Shenandoah area - We now have 5 courses - Sherando / Signal Knob (Landon's course) / Signal View (Maurertown FLY course) --- and a new Courses in Franklin Park - Purcellville + Jim Barnett Park in Winchester.

The Maurertown course will be 18 holes by next year and will be hosting a B-Tier event.
I will be running a tournament at Jim Barnett this April 23rd (Non-PDGA) as a fund raiser for the course + introducing a PDGA sanctioned tournament in 2012. Also, I will be introducing a PDGA event at the Franklin Park course in 2012 - depending on the course and park director, it may be an AM only event the first year. I am also considering running a "Shenandoah" series which will include all five courses. At the end of the year (At the final of the five tournaments) I would split a pot of $500 (maybe more depending on participation) for the top 4 Pro spots and Merchandise / Prizes for the top 4 in each AM division. Of course, trophies and a traveling trophy for the top PRO which will be engraved with their name each year. Basically, a "Mini-ODDS" series to improve participation and the overall disc golf scene in the area. Any feed-back on whether this would interest people would be appreciated.


Peace,
Brandon

50 Pre-Registered....

With the "I have sent a check" and people saying they are going to send entry via Pay-Pal - I would estimate 20 spots left.

Pay-Pal is accepted through Saturday night, please try to send it at a reasonable time. I would ask for anyone sending Pay-Pal to do so by 9PM - I would like to try to get some sleep.

The record for the latest entry to the Sherando Spartan was by Brian Skinner - called after mid-night (Sunday morning, day of tournament) and I had to tell him he was on the "wait list", along with the other 2, or so, people coming with him. They decided to make the trip from the VA Beach area, and made it in due to no-shows ---- AND --- I believe Skinny' won the tournament. NOTE* - I will NOT be answering my phone this year after mid-night...or even after 9PM.

Rain Saturday - SUNNY SUNDAY - Rain Monday

Peace Brandon

Please inform friends that if a wait-list is needed, it will be posted here, and on the VirginiaDiscGolfer board.

All right... a week away now... a few notes for Sunday at Newport News.
All Open/Masters and Advanced (MA1) only will play long/long (reds) both rounds.
Remaining divisions will be short/long or short/short depending on division.
We will have 20 holes.. we are going to use 15b and 15c from last year though
the azaleas.
We know a lot people don't like to pre-register. If you would like to come we will not
turn away anybody. We will add holes if necessary as we already have more ready if needed. But, if you know you want to come please just e/mail John Roy at rottown@cox.net to give us a heads up you are coming and we'll take care of the entry fee when you come in. So far the forcast is low 70's, partly cloudy, and no rain..
Hope to hear from you......

Is there a web site or does anyone know the schedule of events for the VA States this Sunday!

Here's a taste of the trophies, a little dusty and still under construction, but gives you an idea of what they are looking like.

The event will use the shorter Red Course (50 rating), the long and challenging White Course (60 rating), and the even longer and more challenging Blue Course (67 rating, the hardest permanent course in the state of VA since it’s creation). The event will consist of 72 holes (four 18 holes rounds) over the course of the weekend.

On-site, primitive camping will be permitted at the course, but please keep in mind that while the park has nice restrooms, there are no shower facilities. The park is also closed to auto traffic from dusk until dawn.

No One Will Be Turned Away at On Site Registration

----
Looking at the pre-reg numbers if Duck Golf was only a one day
event the tournament would be almost filled. The numbers
justify keeping Duck Golf as a 2 day Pro/Am event for 2012.

news update!!!
Casual Adventures donates $100 cash to the MPO payout.

...
Duck Golf now has $600 added cash to the pro payout and,
using pre-reg numbers, has a purse of ~$1000. This is
expected to grow on the day of the tournament, as nobody
will be turned away!

2011 Tour de Richmond in two weeks have about 50 that have responded that they will be attending 40 more spots to go.

Call me if you have any questions

Anyone know if Randolph Park is having a PDGA this year? If no one wants to run it, I'll volunteer.

Pre-registered people up to 63 let me know if you are going to come the event I will cap at 90 people. If you have told me you will be attending and you are not going to make it please let me know so I can let someone else into the event. I am hoping to fill by the end of the week.

Bridge closing for everyone who uses Rt 29 to get to the park!

The bridge on Red Hill road coming from Rt 29 and before you get to Old Lynchburg Rd is closed for repair. If you turn onto Red Hill Road from Rt 29, a detour will take you down Dudley Mountain Road, and it will add almost 20 minutes to your drive.

From 29 South/Lynchburg
Turn East on Plank Rd (at the Crossroads store)
drive 4.4 miles
Turn North (left) on Old Lynchburg Rd
drive 2.6 miles
Turn right into the park

From North (Greene Co) and West (Staunton)
Get on 64 East
Take exit 120/5th Street
Turn South (right) onto 5th Street Extended at the end of the ramp
Drive 7.4 miles (road changes names to Old Lynchburg Rd)
Go straight at the stop sign
turn left into the park

From East (Richmond)
Use exit 120/5th Street

Thanks, Dan

Good times at the Hawk Hollow Open, thanks John! Fabulous weather, great food, epic hot pepper eating contest, and maybe the best course anywhere! Tennesse sweep, congrats to Zack and Tim Barr ....

Slide Show! (http://www.sharkysshots.com/displayimage.php?album=210&pid=10135&slideshow=5000)

am event is full... 7 people on wait list as of now...

Please check this out and pass the word...

Due to several contributing factors and in the best interest of the players, the host club and PDGA standards for Tournament play, as Tournament Director I regret to inform our players at this late date of a change of venue for all Amateur players (except MA1) for the 14th Annual Fall Colors Disc Golf Tournament. All AM players are to report to New Quarter Park on Saturday, November 12, 2011 instead of the previously scheduled event at Newport News.

This change of venue will not affect Open and MA1 divisions scheduled for play on Sunday, November 13th.

If you were planning on playing the 14th Annual Fall Colors at Newport News Park on Saturday, November 12, 2011, you will now play at New Quarter Park in Williamsburg. All registration, Player’s Meeting, and start times will remain the same.

There will be no rounds played at Newport News this year.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact me right away. I apologize for the inconvenience to all players. New Quarter is looking pretty good right now as is the weather and I’m sure it will still be a great time so please come out and play.

Thanks for your support,

John Roy

For those of you who don't know there is a bring your own partner doubles event at hawk hollow on nov. 19. This promises to be a real hoot. I have a feeling there are going to be some strong teams there. Don't miss out if you live within a 5 hr drive (like I do). Gonna make a weekend of it and play sontag on fri. morn and charlottesville on fri. afternoon. Can't wait!

Thanks to all 70 players that came out and supported the 14th Annual Fall Colors. We had a great time and hope you'll be back next year.

Oh yeah......

Scores are UP !

How lucky are we huh?

Two great days of weather, good folks, good times and Fall Colors. All the elements came together for a memorable tournament.

Thanks to all all the guys that worked to make the course special and worthy of a fine group of players. Hope you all make it back next year, we appreciate the support.

Scores are up..

Great job John and folks! New Quarter is always fun. Which tourney was it we did the BYOP the day before? I would love to do that again back to back.

Ian Liddell snaps Erik Smiths 4 year reign and wins
The 2011 NoVa Disc Golf Championships
at "The Haymaker"
(Camp William B Snyder in Haymarket VA)

The weather was picture perfect
First round was played on the "red loop"
All seeds held except one.
Ron Smith shocked the crowd by
Taking out Eric Smith the 4time champion 2-0

Then we all had an AMAZING lunch of BBQ
And Mac&cheese provided by Sean Mooney of
Restaurant 3 in Arlington
The food was EXCELLENT and plentiful
There was so much food we had another course
After the finals and doubles

the final four was spectacular. BIG shots by Naved, Chris and
Ian dominated the tee on the "white loop"
But, as always, it came down to putting
As Ian Liddell put on a clinic starting things off with a shocking
60-70 footer on hole 2. Ian never looked back and held
On to take the win even after taking a circle 4 on 5.

This year the MAWO is being hosted by the county of Powhatan and its legendary par 72 Fighting Creek Monster.

This is a legitimate pro par 72 9300' course.

This is the first time that the course is going to see a sanctioned event and so it will be great to see just what kind of round ratings can be had. It would be so wonderful to get a 1010+ rated player to come out and set a benchmark.

Schwebie...I'm calling you out.
