We've got preregistrations from NJ, MD, CO and VA, but none from NC. C'mon you gods of disc golf. Come up here for some easy pickins'. You know how bad VA golfers suck. We're practically giving money away up here.

Most of them will be going to the NT that weekend

I'm thinking about coming.

I'll be near Winston Salem that Saturday and Mapquest says its only 2 1/2 hours from there to Bedford and only 3 hours from Bedford back to Raleigh.

And from what I've heard about the course, it's worth the trip.

If it were a 2 day event, I would def. be there. However, 1 day events make me less likely to travel.

i love one day events- 2 day events make me more likely to stay home.

It's just more appealing from out of state to travel and get to play a course 4 times rather than 2

i know... and most people would agree with you i'm sure- i get to play about 5 rounds a month though and still have some lingering back issues so even 2 rounds puts a hurtin' on me. plus i have so much going on at work, at home, in the garden, keeping up hawk hollow, dealing with state coordinator crap (who wants the job in 2008?), and checking message boards that it makes leaving for 2 days difficult.

VR likey the one-day, too. Takes me almost a week to physically recover from a 4-round event (and ancillary events). VA States this weekend, though only two rounds, but plus DDC plus MTA plus Distance plus Accuracy plus Freestyle plus all the partying, might just be the end of me.

Most of them will be going to the NT that weekend


Isn't that just like a stuck up NC player. They'll drive through our state to play golf, but they won't set foot in it. :eek:

Heck, I guess I shouldn't be surprised, NC pros don't even want to play in their OWN state. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

It's just more appealing from out of state to travel and get to play a course 4 times rather than 2


The course (maybe both courses) will be open for play all day on Saturday, so unless you get hit in the head by a disc you can get in as many rounds as you want.

Just kidding Biscoe. I love one-day tournaments more than you do, though.

16.5 hours until States. I'm getting giddy.

Tell Johnny Brown i'm coming and he should hide.

ooops

forgot I was running a monthly here in Raleigh that same day. I'll put the tournament on the calander for next year.

Good luck to everyone competing!

New to the sport (only played two tournys) do tournys get rained out? I'll play in the rain....

--Joe--

playing in the rain isn't an issue (unless you don't like being wet), but rounds can be delayed or cancelled due to lightning...hopefully this won't happen, so bring your scuba gear! game on!

at least you got one part of it right. ;)

rumor in these parts is that the trophy for first place advanced at the v.o. is going to be extra special. anyone care to guess what it may be (according to said rumor)?

I don't have a guess, but I know it'll look great on my wall/mantel. :D

Jerome Bettis?

Something like this?

shark- that looks more like a hawk hollow trophy. bryan law is closest so far.

Johnny, whateva you do, do NOT question the payout. :o

Are you parting with another piece of your antique crystal?

mtl is getting closer...

That Nor'easter is going to hit Sunday with a vengence. I will probably not be out there checking scores if the rain is sideways.

Hopefully TD John Roy will post an update. There's always the possibility that the park will close if the City thinks there's any danger and John will have no say in that.

paid entry into the worlds?

good guess but nope.

hints- it can hold discs or chicks. you can also drive with it.

I want mine in green, like MONEY!! Cha Ching!! :D

another hint: it can make you late for work...

Is it this (http://www.alihessami.com/funny/images/monster-school-bus.jpg) ?

...and we have a winner!!!!!!!!!

:cool:

What's up people!
Just in from SC this morning and haven't had a chance to check the weather yet. I will update weather predictions (or their best guess) after the evening news in the News. Hopefully they will be as accurate as usual. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif As of now, we are a go. As far as the Park..well they don't about the Secret Tunnel. /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif Do they?

Allow me to reply to myself.
Saturday looks good at Bayville. Worst of the weather will be midnight Sunday with rain starting. Calling for 1-3 inches by Sunday night. Winds at NN @ 20-30 and rain (Steady?) during the day. No thunder/Lightning/ Hail ....yet. Possibility of sideways rain..maybe. Can't be worse than championship round at the NN last Fall. Courtesty umbrellas to the first 2 players.
Beat the rush!!!
If noone shows up, I may win my first tourney ever!!!!!!
Tee Hee!
More to follow.
See you at Bayville in the AM!

Oh yeah, calling for @ 55-60 degrees on Saturday, about the same Sunday.

I'm out.

hey now the championship round at NN was great the wind wasnt that bad and the rain was refreshing i cant believe we were the only group to play. but oh well i hope everyone has fun this weekend

A big thanks to John Roy and Jay Lockamy for hosting two great B tiers back to back this weekend. I think I speak for everyone in saying that it was a blast, whether you played one or both. Let's do it again soon!

I want to thank all 51 players who came out today, in the rain and the wind, to support the 10th Newport News Spring Pro/Am. :cool:Special thanks to Jay Lockamy, Otis Mills and Jeff Keirn for helping pull it off. :) These players took to the field early, with a steady rain and breeze and played through the worst of it until the weather broke. Water was flowing fast and pools everywhere. About 5 holes into the afternoon, you could barely see the baskets 250 away for the rain. Golfers with no suits, umbrellas, or hats, throwing plastic in rain. Amazing.. and they played on until another break. During awards there were smiles everywhere. These guys had made it through a monsoon together. Wow!
Disc Golfers never fail to surprise me. :DIt was my honor to play with them today. Thanks again for the support!

The weather was horrible erywhere. Results?? Bayville, Newport News????

it rained at newport news?

it didn't rain at all at va states...beautiful weather all weekend in fredericksburg.

Yea Ron, A lil bit of rain fell south of Spotsltucky. Hey off thread, I send my thoughts and prayers to victims, family members of the many slain on Va. Tech campus today. Also the students who were also injured in bizarre shooting. Stop da Madness!!! :confused:

Scores are posted! Thanks again to all the fine people who braved the elements :cool:. Congrats to all our winners:

Open- Stephen Miller
Open Master- Joe Hewlett
Advanced- Peaches Lockamy (First PDGA victory !!!!) :D:cool:
Advanced Master- John Roy
Intermediate- Dwight Walsh

Overall Champions of the Killer Bees:

Open- Chris Mangus
Open Master- Todd Brogan
Advanced- Peaches Lockamy
Advanced Master- John Roy :confused:
Intermediate- Robert Lindstrom

nice work stephen!! (first pro victory) congrats pete!

did mangus win bayville? (i think that would be his first too?)

He won Pohicky a few years back.

What up peeps? Any1 know results from Bayville? I been in touch with a few people, no one knows results. Macfly??? :D

Thoughts go out to the Hokie Nation and the friends and families of those affected by this tragedy. I had quite a few current Hokies play in the BRAWL this year. Plus Hysell's a Hokie even though he won't admit it.

The TRO officially has more pre-registrations this year than we had total players last year. There's also about 15 people who have given me verbals--Too bad I don't accept vebals! If you don't want to ease your mind, you better pre-register! There will be two lines Sunday morning, Check-in line and sign-up line. The Sign-in line will be long and slow. The Check-in line will be quick. :eek:

Is there Paypal avaliable for this event?

My player rating is so low i'm going to play am.

Tissues are available. :(

Two days until the Timber Ridge Open. It's time for the TD to start getting silly on a friday night and calling out people from NC. That's right. Little skinny ole gimp broken hand whorley calling people out. C'mon you NC gods. All you have to do is have a valid NC driver's license and you know you're good. It's a gauranteed victory. I'm talking to all the NC pros who have never tasted victory in the Open division. I'm looking at you, I'm talking to you. C'mon. Anyone. Please grace us with your presence. No one in the history of VA has ever beaten anyone from NC. Everyone knows that. Don't make me name names. Those who are feeling their shirt collar get a little tight know who I'm talking to.

Virginia--We're basically donating our money! C'mon North Carolinians. It's a money geiser erupting--all for you. It's written in stone. You're better than us. We're not worthy. All we can do is hope you don't show.

It's just like SC. Easy money. You don't have to worry. We're your personal ATM.

Messenger birds in sight
They came up through the valley
Both sides at a time

Charlottesville should bring atleast 5 tomorrow! And yes we will be leaving early because of my procrastination. And yes, after the BRASS event at Walnut Creek today it seems we will be donating our money to the North Carolina pros as well:( I hope to be at the front of that slow line!

65+ people showed at Timber Ridge today. Thanks to all who came. The sun is hot

Pro-Tony Ellis
Ladies-Laura Clark
Masters-Rusty Wilhelm
Ladies Master-Donna Raines
GM-HB Clark
Advanced-Frank Gonzalez (would have won Open)
Advanced Ladies-Seila Teves
Intermediate-Jason Secor

Mike Bonday and Tommy Donelson split the Eagle pot
Bonday aced 13 from the yellow tee and Tommy dueced the par 4 ninth hole with a 200+ foot upshot.

Thanks Vince, loved the course, the scenery, the hospitality. :cool:

was gonzalez the highest rated player at the event (other than lefty vince)?



Yes, but I could have beat him if I would have thrown sidearm on all my drives.

Results are up

Thanks Vince. You are the man.

Everyone needs to check out my scores and ratings. Contrary to popular belief, I was trying on every shot. Please make it stop. At this rate i'll be intermediate by the next ratings update. It's called deranking.

nice job tony...congrats!!!

frankie is 997 and playing advanced - wow

1) MTL, get your facts straight before making observations
2) Ratings and $.50 will get you a cup of coffee
3) Don't hate the playa, hate the system

Congrats, Frank. I'm proud of you.

It's funny. Many people are quick to call him bagger, (especially those who hide in the same protected division as he) but no one besides me probably congratulated him on shooting some of the best golf of his life.

warped

994, and yes playing advanced

if he'd shot it in the open division he would've been congratulated.

I am calling him a bagger - he's been playing good and winning in advanced for a while.

However, I will send a congrats for a great day of golf - two very good rounds, no matter the division.

Daniel, John, Logan and Robert seem to have a problem with the PDGA competitive structure. I suggest that they should send their comments to the competition director of the PDGA. Frank didn't make up all these silly, protected divisions, the PDGA did.

You can never force a player to play pro. If he simply said I have no desire to compete for money, then that is fine.

He will eventually change his mind or get tired of winning.

well no matter how well frank did or didnt shot. il call him a bagger, but i also think he shot very well. i also want to send out a congrats to vince for running a great tourny. good job buddy!

but on the other hand, i thought that everyone at the farm on sunday were friends and could trust each other but apparently there were a few that could not be trusted. i do not know who would have done such a thing but someone stole money out of my wifes car. so to whom ever did this thank you, you are one hell of an individual. i also hope i find out who did it!!!

but to everyone else, i hope they had a great day playing disc golf

That is absolutely unacceptable and I won't rest until we hunt the bastard down. Money stolen at a farm in the middle of nowhere... hmmm. Sounds fishy. Must've been an inside job. I will do everything possible to help you hunt them down and find them. I'm sorry buddy. You and Tab don't deserve garbage like that.

Disgusting

agreed
and again great tourny vince

you have mail

congrats on the win tony

Results are up


VW, My round 2 score was entered incorrectly. It should have been a 77 instead of a 71. I suspect bad sharpie penmanship to be the culprit. And I posted here instead of sending an email to dispell all those conspiracy theories Josh Taft might be brewing up. :D

congrats on the win tony


Wow. A Stephen Miller sighting. What's up buddy?

I need to congratulate Tony Toni Tone. One of my favorite people in disc golf and one of the best disc golfers in VA. He was due. The cream usually rises to the top at Timber Ridge.

He and Adam V (defending champ) battled back and forth on the back nine from what I understand.

I'd once again like to thank Jason, Daniel, Bonday, Hysell, my wife, Innova, Jay at Play-It-Again and all the others who made this event happen. In addition, I'd like to thank Mike R, Char, Mike D, Frank, Greg, Mitch, Dan H and anyone else who helped out on the course.

LMAO!

Thanks, bud. That will be fixed promptly.

Thanks to Vince for opening up the farm for everyone to enjoy. Also big props go out to locals Jason Hair &amp; Daniel Eubank for giving alot (all) of their time on Sunday to doing the sign-in/card/scores/payout. Don't miss the Am tournment at Appomattox Labor day weekend these 2 are putting on.

I really hate to hear about the possibility of theft Sunday, you just never know anymore do you?

Don't hate the bagger, hate the system!




True indeed, but since I am also friends with both said baggers from yesterday, I will pile on with the ridicule anyway. Bagger!

what????

THANKS VINCE! Congrats Tony.

The Champ and his chauffeur(Pat) had beer stolen out of their cooler during the second round or sometime soon after.

I did not see during the tournament Chris, but you were driving really well on the way home!

thats pretty sad that someone would steal beer. hell most people give it away.
i hope that we find out who did this

Daniel, John, Logan and Robert seem to have a problem with the PDGA competitive structure. I suggest that they should send their comments to the competition director of the PDGA. Frank didn't make up all these silly, protected divisions, the PDGA did.



No need to call me out here Whorley, I was just setting MTL straight on his misquote of Frank's rating and answering his question. I made no comment as to my opinion's towards Frank's choice of which division he plays.

A day full of Seconds

Second PDGA C Tier Win
Second Best Round Score in Open (Vince)
Lowest PDGA in Open Division (Pat Mullins)
Tied for Second Round Score (Erik)
Second in Total Score for Tournamt (Frank) - I did show him what he should have won
Second Highest Player Rating in Open (Vince again)

Thanks Vince we did have a great time and Love your place. I know that Pat and I gave a several of the tasty 60 Minutes away but some body decided to enjoy them without asking.

Tony...YOU KNOW THE RULES!!!! You left the cooler unattended, thereby, in effect, hanging a "free dogfish" sign.

a cooler...in the car

I drank them all resulting in a horrible round.

Was the car unlocked? (ie. unattended)...if so I rest my case!

Paw-Paw rules!

that is at least the third incident of thievery i know of in virginia at dg events in the past year. these have occurred at the grange, hawk hollow and timber ridge- much like doing it at someone's home, making it an insult to those of us who have in effect invited guests to our places to play golf in addition to those they have stolen from. how anyone could do it at the grange in particular is absolutely beyond me. if anyone is EVER caught doing it at hawk hollow they will be lucky to leave intact. however, the time has come where this community has grown too large for us to be able to trust all of its inhabitants. therefore i urge everyone to lock your stuff up wherever you are, don't give some idiot whose mommy didn't spank him enough the opportunity to ruin your day.

I 2nd that comment John, except.....I never got spanked...go figure.

I got ripped off a couple of years ago at The Grange. Someone took a few of my favourite discs from the back of my truck, but thankfully did not mess with my minibike.

Sadly, I lock my vehicle now.

hard to imagine the bad karma you'd have after ripping somebody off at the grange or VW's...anywhere for that matter. I just don't get people sometimes.

I'm making light of a bad situation...sorry. I'm drawing from my past bad behavior at a WVO over 12 years ago (I've been sober for 12 years)

the instance was in one of my WVO binges...It was about 2 or 3 in the morning and I was walking by Ted Z's camp and their cooler was just sitting there, so I went to see what libation Ted had left for me...thankfully it had 2 or 3 beers still in it...I finshed those off and stumbled to bed.
The next morning Ted was having a fit about where his beers had gone...I told him I drank them...he asked why? I said "no one was there to tell me not to".

granted this was bad behavior and I'm not proud of it now...but it is something I take ownership of and is a running joke within the WVO arena.

Hence the "Paw-Paw survival guide's" rule number 1...which states: "You did not bring enough beer."

i just recently replaced my soft top jeep wrangler. it's amazing how much money i'm saving from people not being able to just help themselves to my cooler when i had my top down at our thursday weekly /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

i guess they justified it by thinking if they asked, i wouldn't say no (unless it was the last one). fortunately i always (except once) had at least one remaining after the round.

top down at druid- pretty ballsy, although i guess the soft top wouldn't really keep anyone out anyway if they really wanted in.

That's why the MGB Roadster never gets locked. I lock valuables in the boot (British for trunk).

i never locked the jeep either. i'd rather a hooligan just try to open the door than slash the top.

walnut creek open may 13, mommy's day, c tier. hopefully vince can provide further info.

Thanks Vince for running a second PDGA event this year at Walnut Creek! The course is looking great right now, and the park is just as breathtaking as always!

Make sure you know that it's a Golden Ticket event -- check www.PiedmontDGC.com (http://www.PiedmontDGC.com) for more details.

See everyone on Sunday :D

Virginia bretheren, Consider yourself invited to the Lakefront Open may 19 and 20. Kingsport is not that far of a drive and the camping at Warriors is first class. The course has been re-designed since last year with the elimination of holes 1,4,5 and 6 due to the construction of a new handicap access playground. The 4 new holes are very fun and challenging and add 3-5 strokes to your score. The flyer is on our website www.lakefrontdiscgolf.com (http://www.lakefrontdiscgolf.com) . Come on neighbors, send some love down Tennessee way!

Fellow Virginians and the rest of the disc golf world, work has officially begun and the installation of another high-quality disc golf course here in the Commonwealth. Rocky Mount is located 25 miles south of Roanoke, VA and roughly 80 miles north of Greensboro, NC on US 220. The local parks and rec dept here has given the green light and a group of 8 of us led by course designer Mitch Hoeppner had a great day rough-cutting out the front nine, including 3 true two-shot par 4's and 1 2&amp;1/2 shot par4/par5. The course will be similar to Elk Creek DGC in Appomattox, VA, except maybe not quite as tightly wooded, but that all still remains to be seen (this is Virginia). Cant' wait to see you all down here in Rocky Mount.

Jeff;
Please keep us posted on work days.

Is there a Virginia Open page????? I figured that folks would be talking smack buy now!

well anyone know what happened yesterday

Erik Smith - Open
Jim Conrad - Masters (would have won open)
Scott Bowman - Grand Masters
David Stowell - Advanced (beat Clemons in playoff)

erik and stowell.... nice!!!!!!

This will be my first VA Open. As such, I've got a couple of questions.

What is camping like? I've got a friend to stay with in Crozet, but if that is a prohibitave drive, then I'd like to camp if there is onsite camping.

What do I need to bring? Food, beer?

Is there a players party on Saturday night? Friday doubles? Anything I should know about?

I'll be coming down from Cincinnati on Thursday 24th. Don't have to be back until the 30th.

Can't wait to see some VA disc golf!

What is camping like? I've got a friend to stay with in Crozet, but if that is a prohibitave drive, then I'd like to camp if there is onsite camping. <font color="red"> there is onsite camping </font>

What do I need to bring? Food, beer? <font color="red"> in past years you have been able to buy lunch and dinner onsite, as far as anything else you'll have to bring that yourself </font>

Is there a players party on Saturday night? Friday doubles? Anything I should know about? <font color="red"> they usually play glo at the grange on fridays and the players party starts friday and ends when you leave on sunday/monday </font>

I'll be coming down from Cincinnati on Thursday 24th. Don't have to be back until the 30th. <font color="red">you should check out some of the other courses in the area like Hawk Hollow (ask John biscoe before you play), Loriella, Pratt, New Quarter - DO NOT drive to Northern VA to play, keep on going north to MD (Seneca) if you are looking to play courses north of the Grange </font>

will is right on all counts- i wouldn't count on being able to play hawk hollow but stranger things have happened- i need to get some work done on it before then.

...and crozet is definitely too far to drive back and forth, probably about 1:45.

the players party starts friday and ends when you leave on sunday/monday </font>



The Fresh Prince gets the prize for "Most Accurate MB Post EVER"! :D

Scores are up. Congrats to all the winners. Erik Smith with his first ever Open victory over a stout field. He played solid all day and canned a couple of really long putts (60+, 40+) on the back nine during the second round. David Stowell showing why ratings are completely bunk. Jim Conrad playing some dominating golf.

Thanks to everyone that came. Hopefully I won't get hate mail from any mothers. Thanks to all who helped out including Daniel, Mike R, Jim C, Mike D and Dicshof.

Doubles on Friday, 25th
Registration: 8:30AM
TD: Tommy Donelson




If anyone is looking for a partner please pm me.

why would you not do the doubles on Monday?

Sucks I can't play them since they are on Friday

Clarification:

Doubles on Friday is an unsanctioned tournament.

yeah I know, I just wanted to play and was hoping they were on Monday.

Oh well....

Doubles are always the day before the tournament. So my guess is they wanted to keep the same format they've always had. Plus one of the reasons for moving the tournament to a Saturday-Sunday format this year was to give people that Monday to travel home.

Clarification:

Doubles on Friday is an unsanctioned tournament.



Thank Heaven! Allows more time for fun.

they'll be needing monday to finish up tiki madness anyway. ;)

I should be arriving sometime Thursday evening...will be available to partner on friday if anyone is lookin'.

Is the players list current????

Close but not 100% - Will update it by Friday.

I know Billy Crump and McRee will not be there. Billy is going to be calling you soon. McRee is doing the Family Reunion thang

Why was this event moved forward a week?

Going to lose some NC guys (including myself and Schweb and probably a few more) due to the DEP Cup in Greenville.

event was moved due to A-tier at brandywine the following weekend.

it is not my preference to conflict with greenville. i can tell without even going there that they are running top notch, player friendly events, but options are severely limited.

schedule is full earlier and i can't go later than the end of october due to livestock issues. last year there were 9 players who played both events- regrettably they will have to choose. i'm certain most of the carolina folks will choose g-ville, you will be missed but i'm certain both events will fill either way and players at both events will be well-treated and leave happy for the most part.

I figured it was due to Brandywine...

hate to miss your event John, but can't pass up on a B Tier an hour away where I went to college (aka chance to see a bunch of old friends)

that's cool Rob, at least now i don't have to worry about you collapsing/getting injured during the event. ;) :p

Yeah, Biscoe and I being the defending champ for both of these events must go with the 25 minute drive over the 3 hour drive. At least there will be a new winner of the Hawk Hollow Open this year since the 1st two titles went home with me. I will definitely miss playing one of my favorite courses of all time this year.

we'll miss you schweb, always a pleasure to host great players who are great sportsmen as well. see you for vti '08.

John,

I am pretty sure you know that I am going to miss this one as well.

I hate to miss playing at my favorite course. I am the defending Masters winner at both the Down East Players Cup and the Hawk Hollow Open.

Drive an hour or drive 3.5 hours....hmmmm It will have to be an hour.

Kirk

we'll miss you too, goldberg!

at least you wont have to tell me to "Be Quiet" during the player's meeting..... ;) :D

Yeah, Biscoe and I being the defending champ for both of these events must go with the 25 minute drive over the 3 hour drive. At least there will be a new winner of the Hawk Hollow Open this year since the 1st two titles went home with me. I will definitely miss playing one of my favorite courses of all time this year.



he actually moved it forward for me because vegas moved forward a week
:eek: :D

at least without kirk i have a chance to be the champ(only if we play all 3 rounds at the hollow)..
last year i had one of the better scores on the only hollow round

my only regret is missing out on seeing mr. schweberger, kirk, mtl, and the other guys who won't make it...

i just glad that i get to play them back to back again as it kicked off my "winter of keith" disc golf flurry where i never missed cashing from vegas tournament in nov '06 to memorial tournament in march of this year
keith

At least there will be a new winner of the Hawk Hollow Open this year since the 1st two titles went home with me.


You mullet. Why couldn't you have not come LAST year instead? Whoever wins this year will have to thank you for not coming.

I will definitely miss playing one of my favorite courses of all time this year.


I'll see you at the Holler next year on the tee of hole one of the VTI finals.

PS Congrats on the Kinston win.

Thanks Vincenzo

I'm in if it's an ODDS event. Is it?

nope, not an odds event. you're still in though.

Biscoe, not sure if you know who I am, but I want to register Pro in hopes of being on the advanced list. I was at VA OPEN PRO DUBS last year and didn't finish dead last as a Cville AM with my partner Doc Vance. The most eye opening experience of my disc career was when we were coupled with Shweb and Moser for that RidiCUlous first round. MOSER CAN PUTT!! Let me in...pleeeeeaaasssseeeee.

I will be in Spotsy tomorrow evening trying to learn both the dark and the sunny. I hope to find you if you are there and give you my $$$$.

I'm glad you moved it! No home UVa football games that weekend.

Jesse Pritchard

i am glad he moved the date too..the browns have a bye that week which gives me an NFL sunday away from the TV.

dang. ravens @ buffalo that sunday.

i doubt it'll ever happen but if it does i hope the xm/sirius merger happens by then so i can listen (on my xm).

jesse- i know who you are. i know all and see all.

am side is full for HHO- currently 5 on waiting list. currently 16 pro spots available, 17 if hysell drops out. we will be full by saturday night. registration has now been open for 3 days.

tournament will likely fill today- wait until tomorrow at your own risk.

It is a pity that 2 well run events with TDs who are so nice ( I am biased some) have to conflict, but that just happens. I hope that the HHO goes well. I was hoping to play this year since I have relatives right down the road. This will be the 3rd year that DEPC will be on that weekend and hopefully we will have many more years of our event. If HHO fills this weekend, just send the others south and tell them they can play in our event. Good luck all at the Virginia Open this weekend.

Biscoe, contact me if you want to see if Chelsea Joe's can do anything for you at HHO.

Thanks Scotty - you are a class act. :)

I'm certain we will fill this weekend and I will be sending the entire population of Tidewater VA your way as they appear to not have the internet down there. ;)

6 spots left right now.

I wanted Schneider to win, but I'd put my $$ on Moser. Who won? Top 4?

Skinner
Schneider
JJ
Mose

who won tiki?

tiki was still going on when i left.

it was skinner's first a tier win. kelly washburn ran away with masters and qualified for both usdgc and msdgc. kristen weidle ran away with fpo. ed foster won advanced, landon furlong grandmasters for a strong showing from sherando. not sure about other am divisions.

usdgc qualifiers were skinner, washburn, jernigan, moser, and hofmann with a big deuce on hole 10 in a playoff for the spot. msdgc qualifiers were skinner, washburn, schneider.

chris roberts dog bear is amazing- pulling discs out of water with no visibility by finding them with his feet and ducking under to get them.

thanks bryan law and trapasso!!!

who won tiki?



1 Skinner
2 Frank G
3 Hofmann
4 Hammer

WOW Skinner won both tournaments

He had a good weekend.

What a Tournament!! Always is. Thanks Mike, Bryan, and all else that make this tournament what it is. Skinner, You are the MAN!! Steady Ed, nice win, solid golf! My dogs, Hunter and Derek, congrats on Open cashing at a SUPA tour!! Rruuff!! Had an absolute blast!! Thanks eryone involved!! Rruuff!! :D

This was such an awesome event! I'm really bummed that I couldn't finish the rounds on Sunday, but I had a great time while at the Grange. What a sweet setup - with the food, partying, facilities, and 3 great courses, there's no need to ever leave the Grange (if you brought enough beer!).

Tiki was great (2 aces on the first time I ever played it. 3 &amp; 9), the poker was great (even though I was second out - who would have thought 3 Kings is a loser hand - it is when the other guy flops a Royal FLUSH!!!!!!). The volunteers were awesome, the food tasty, and the competitors friendly. I'll definitely be coming back again next year, and I'll likely be bringing some more Cincy/KY boys with me.

Here's a question - I lost a blue wizard in the pond on Sunny 16 with Bear and Chris on Sunday morning. I had to leave before they could find it - is there anyone I can email or ask to see if they found it? It doesn't have my name on it, but it does have a couple of others - it's been passed around quite a bit. I also lost a white wizard on Dark 12 on Thursday, or somewhere before Friday morning. It does have my name on it, and my cell number.

Thanks again to all the volunteers who put on this great event. And a big special thanks to Mike Trapasso for opening up his beautiful property to us for a very memorable weekend of disc golf.

Keith

results from vo? ratings interested. Who won the monday tennis/ball/disc golf?

Big fun at da grange......
Slide show.... (http://www.sharkysshots.com/displayimage.php?album=88&amp;pid=4951&amp;slideshow=5000)

Thanks to Bryan Mike and crew for another fun weekend at the Grange!

Big thanks to Steve Miller's family for putting us up this weekend!

Hawk Hollow Open has been full since Friday night, contact me to get on the wait list.

a C tier filled in 5 days and it's not until 5 more months..

so much for that whole theory about va golfers not pre-registering...

wow.

Thanks to all involved at the Grange this week. :)Mike and Jenny are the most gracious hosts around. Its rare that people can be that open and welcoming and keep on doing it every year. You are truly role models for the rest of us mortals. :cool:Brian Law is the Man. Well done Brian and the whole staff, another terrific event. Thanks to Mike Matthews and Mike Jr., Bart, Billy Bob, Ryan Lugo, and all the rest. Great playing with Jeff, Brian and Brenton and all the Advanced Masters (the coolest division anyway) and thanks for pushing the whole way, we had a fun time. If you only play one tourney in Virginia, you have to make it this one. Can I sign up for 2008 now? :DThanks again for making it happen. :)

results are up.

Thanks Brian Law, Trapasso, and the VO staff for a great tournament. Thanks for the nice group picture in the players pack. Thanks to Lugo and company for the good food.

It was fun to watch Trapasso on fire in the first round. Congrats to "Principal" Skinner who made us all look like little kids this weekend.

Congrats (almost) to Gonzalez for almost winning Tiki. Word on the street is that Skinner was down a stoke after 16 and aced 17 and 18 to win it. What a weekend for him--insane!

I had some great groups this weekend--as usual. Congrats to me for beating Larry Leonard for the first time ever (I think).

A sincere thanks to all who helped me out during the weekend. The Trapasso family for coming to get me and my stuff after the accident, Mike Mathews and his clan for breakfast, etc., Steve Badger for his EMT expertise and prudent advice, Kelly Boyce for picking up some crutches for me, Mike Bonday for taking me back home after it all, and all the many many friends who make up my disc golf family who helped me along. In spite of the change of plans, I still made it to the Va. Open and had a good time.

X-rays today indicate a very severe sprain.

glad to hear that after a head on collision that all you had was a severe sprain!

get well soon and before long you will be out flinging em again!

enjoyed talking with ya too, as usual.

Good to see you, glad you were able to tough it out. (http://www.sharkysshots.com/albums/userpics/10002/IMG_1585.JPG) :D

Thanks to all who hosted and worked the Virginia Open this past weekend. Mike is the best host in disc golf, Ben had the courses looking the best that they have ever looked (Tiki included), and Bryan did one heck of a job running the event. Something must have been up with the MA1 backmarkers and missing the final round, I seemed to have been caught up in that epidemic. :oThis one is a can't miss for me. I can't wait to be back on top of the hill same time next year.

It's over. Thanks to all that came out. The scores are up.

Hey Chris,
Thanks for a great tournament. I had a great time and was fortunate to play with some great players: (Jimmy, Carl, Brandon B, Brandon K, Dave S, Dave M, Tim, Brian,and Bean - you all are awesome at the game!). I hope you all make down to the Hampton Roads area in August for the Bayville Bash.
Go Newport News!
Very Niiiice...
John

And of course, congrats to all of the winners!

I'm with JMS on this one. Thanks for everythimg Chris, it was fun. You took care of everyone as you should and teached me how to add. Congrats to all our players from the News who came out and stepped up. 1st place Open, 1st place Adv. Master, 1st Place Int. very cool. Way to go Hammer, Will Lewis, Ed, Martin and all the rest.

Dang it! Sorry I couldn't be there...first Battlefield Iv'e missed in while. Congrats to all who played and shot well!

John Roy - Two PDGA First Places in a row!!!
Va. Open A-tier
Battlefield Open C-tier

He's on a roll folks - Watch Out!

Congrats also to Jeff Keirn. He works very hard at his game and deserves that win.

Greetings to all the powers that be. I have a question, I hope that someone can help. OK, maybe a couple of questions....
I'm looking for an authorized, approved, planned and official ODDS Schedule. There is much debate about which tourney is or ain't... I have a vague idea. I have not seen such a schedule posted, DISCussed or otherwise available. Why is that? Perhaps there should be a link posted somewhere (and there might be) that interested parties may inquire. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

John,
Congrats John. I have one at work. I will post it tomorrow unless someone does tonight - your best bet is just to follow Hysell around and you will not miss one (although you will not make any other tournaments).

Great job Chris! Congrats to Lewis,Jeff, Colleen and Will.

Maybe next year it can be a similar to the "killer B's" format - with 2 c-tier battles and an overall winner of the war.

Thanks Mike. It was good to see you out there supporting. Chris is hard to keep up with and I ain't so good at this X-Box thang. Maybe he should post HIS schedule and we have like a Hysellpaloosa. That's Hot! :cool:

This is what was posted for an ODDS schedule in February. Maybe someone with authority can verify this as the official schedule???

best 8 events total will count towards overall.


Thanks Chris for an awesome tournament and great payout for a C tier. The Battlefield rocks!! :D

You guys are on it!
Thanks for the quick info. Way to go Wendy on another win! It was a good weekend for sure. :D

Thank you! I thoroughly enjoyed myself this weekend. It was a great time with a bunch of great players. Hope this was the right schedule.

John Roy!!! You're tearing things up brother! Congrats on your recent wins (at least I've been playing well enough to be on your card at least one round) High Noon 3 is an ODDS event. I hope lots of you VA folk can attend...I've kept the pricing REALLY low for a C Tier due to gas prices and bridge tolls to get here, so buddy up and split the expenses.

Wow, the VAO was not part of the ODDS Series??

VA Schedule w/ODDS (http://elkcreekdgc.info/schedule.html)

Wow, the VAO was not part of the ODDS Series??



I agree with "wow".

I brought this up earlier in the year and I was told the large field size and number of non-regional players skews the results. I do not agree with that because there was a large number of "ODDS players" at the VAO. Furthermore, the only difference between VAO and the Loriella challenge was fivesomes at the VAO.

I think it skews the results omitting the VAO (as well as, the HHO). A large percentage of "ODDS player" participate in those tournaments. Therfore, the scores reflect head to head competition. The majority of the other events are one day events spread out across the state that generally involve somewhat local players and Hysell.

If the major Virginia events are included, then the series is more competitive because more players will be able to play more events that count towards their points total - against other "ODDS players". Personally, I cannot travel across the state for a one day tournament, and so I will likely only have a minimum number of events that count(just an example - not suggesting the series should be based on my circumstance)

We need an ODDS website or MYSPACE!

Well put Mike. I agree with you on several points. I've spoken with several players who plan their season around the ODDS series (including myself). A central known site would help increase attendance for most ODDS events if only the info is more accessible.That would benefit the local clubs and ODDS in general. I'd be willing to help anyone that can put this together.
Or .. we could just put a Lo-Jack on Chris.

There are even things I didn't know. The Shag isn't on the schedule this year and I still have plans on going. That will really cause a ripple in the force.

Thanks for the thanks

I have space on my website that I can dedicate to the ODDS...I already have a basic info webs sites for Bayville, Newport News and Schumaker (Salisbury MD) running. All I need is the info that you folks would want listed on it...I'm game, get in touch.

in fact, click here: http://www.esdgc.com/ODDS

Hysell...

...bring me my CTPs for fourth round Holes # 2 and # 7....and Logans' Steakhouse has gone out of business!!!...GEESH!....

If you win any CTPs, I am going to give you an old fruitcake from my 1997 Christmas Party.

(a nice Revolution Bag should cover my CTPs....)

Wow, the VAO was not part of the ODDS Series??



dont quote me, but im pretty sure the idea was to increase turnout at local events. va open didnt need the odds event to attract players, it would fill regardless. you could actually skip a couple odds events if you placed well at the open or paw paw.....the amount of points you get at either could easily double points received for even a first place win at a local c tier. the events didnt need the hype and it also encourages good players to make it out to more local events to try to win it as opposed to playing well at a few to get just enough points. again, im just pretty sure.

Rain does not matter.

Lightning does. In the event of lightning, the
tournament director may choose to shorten the
tournament or extend the time limit to 7:30 if the
majority of the players will be unable to finish in
the allotted time.

I am pretty sure that is right and that works to some extent - if you main goal is to attract players to smaller events. I thought the idea of the ODDS series was about competition. The "bigger" events attract the best players and more of them. If the ODDS is about competition, then it makes sense that it should include a series of the biggest tournaments at the most challenging courses. The current tournaments are fantastic, but VAO and HHO's courses and number of participants makes them among the most competitive tournaments in VA each year.

If anyone has the current ODDS standings or any info they'd like to be known, I put together an ODDS site on the ESDGC page. It can be emailed to me at [email protected] and I'll get on the web. Let me know

Shane

I like the new format due to the reasons that Erik stated. I'm glad that WVO isn't a part of it anymore (no offense toni) for reasons that Hysell bellyached about for years. I also agree with bonday, in theory, and wouldn't be upset if the VAO and HHO came back on the schedule--It would make the ODDS have more of a championship meaning, instead of a grassroots series.

Consider this... maybe the VAO, WVO, and HHO didn't want to be a part of the ODDS this year. They don't need the ODDS--they'll fill anyway. It takes money from their fund. Last year ODDS tournaemnts were $2 a person (I think). That's obviously a big chunk of money.

One thing's for sure. Biscoe's open-minded and listens to everybody. Then he's gonna do what he think's best...and 99% of the time he's right.

Lastly. Don Wetzel (ODDS guru) e-mailed me last night and will give me the ODDS standings promptly. I'll post them on the PDGC website on a special page.

Oops, buddy. Didn't means to steal your thunder. As soon as Don e-mails me the official standings I'll forward them to you. The more websites and info about VA discgolf, the better. Nice website!

Does anyone know anything about this tourney? It's about 3 weeks away with no sign-up/registration anywhere that I can fine. It's going to be my last one in the NOVA area before I move, I'd hate to miss it.

Cheers,
Jeffrey

This is because the TD does not bother to advertise for the tourney, no flyers, no posts here, nothing. I would just show up the morning of and register if you want to play, there is no way it will fill. I believe they add about 6 extra holes in the fields and play both sets of tees with a final.

FYI Jeffrey. This event has been around a long time. But, every year it's the same at Duck Golf. Sanctioning at the last minute, little or no player package, a TWO day "C" Tier and then the final results are slow. ODDS is the only thing saving the Duck. Other than that...It's OK.

I didn't see it on the ODDs Schedule at spotsydiscgolf.com

there is no odds schedule at spotsydiscgolf.com- that is merely the spotsy schedule. ODDS schedule is available at http://www.esdgc.com/ODDS (thanks shane)

anyone wishing to serve on the ODDS board next year please contact me- once upon a time the board made ODDS decisions with my input, that fell by the wayside due to several reasons i won't elaborate upon here. the time is right for the ODDS board to be re-established. imo vince, bonday, john roy, and shane would all make excellent boardmembers, although that may be one too many from tidewater.

to address one point: the ODDS is not strictly about competition- it is also about promoting virginia disc golf and about there being a mutually beneficial relationship between events and the series.

when i started the ODDS there were only a handful of PDGA events in the state- the growth has been phenomenal. the big events have reached a point where there is not really much benefit to them coming from the series. none of the events pulled out- i suggested to tony and bryan that they had in effect outgrown the odds.

my own event (HHO) was removed because i wanted to get back to 10 events and it was my feeling that we had more than 10 deserving events. i also considered splitting into an A and B series with different requirements for each but have not been impressed with the results of doing that from our neighbors to the north.

also- ODDS has never taken $2 per player from an event- it had always been $1 per until this year when i reduced it to $50 per event to simplify the process for myself and the td's.

regarding duck and the lack of info available i can merely say that i have taken what steps i can to improve the situation without results as of yet.

since i'm going to attempt to play the shag this weekend i am off to play my one practice round since the virginia open.

Sorry to onfuse Spotsy DG and ODDS ther John...I won't do it again

John, I know you have enough to do with the Coordinator's work, VTI, and HHO. I would be glad to help out however I'm needed! I am not sure if it matters where we live because we are familar with the cousres and participants across the state - we all want was is best for the series. Besides, I am not really Tidewater, I live 2-1/2 hours away from Shane.

I understand it is not totally about competition and I know some tournaments may not gain anything from being ODDS events, but the ODDS series itself surely benefits from certain tournaments (VAO,HHO). In my opinion, there is no better way of promoting disc golf than to have a series that demonsrates the highest level of competition competition.

With all its problems, Duck Golf is still a good time. I will miss it this year as I will be moving that weekend.

It looks like they will be planting baskets this weekend in Bryan Park

that's awesome (and overdue)- who did the design work?? bryan park has the potential to immediately be a top 5 course in the state.

Where is this Bryan Park? I must see it!

Looks nice, I did a little google work and came up with this:

Editorial Review for Bryan Park � by Doug Budryk
This 257-acre park showcases North Richmond. Featuring picnic shelters, tennis courts, soccer fields, wooded areas and plenty of open space, Bryan Park is a treat for those that like lots of physical activity. If standing around is more your speed, then bring your fishing rod and license and fish in the lake for largemouth bass, bluegill and catfish. Should you visit Bryan Park in the spring, bring your camera with loads of color film to capture the world-famous Azalea Gardens. Lush azalea bushes splash brilliant colors across a beautifully landscaped garden. Everyone will be impressed by this remarkable display. An entry fee may be required during spring.

when you are leaving richmond on 95 north just north of the interchange with 64 westbound there is a large area on your left fenced off with grass/ponds/large trees- that is bryan park. sort of like newport news in that it has large trees and open space but with hills/water potential as well.

they are likely putting in a course to help curb undesirable activity.

didn't realize the azaleas were "world famous" but they are really nice. also have never seen an entry fee charged.

Hopefully it's in a better neighbourhood than Gillies.

I'm still hobbling with crutches, but I'll get up there and check it out soon. With the all azaleas, it sounds like Augusta National!

Nothing wrong with that `hood. I grew up in worse. They don't bother us. The people playing disc golf at Gillies are worse with their drugs and alcohol.

so...who designed bryan park? hopefully you did but i'm guessing not.

also, i agree that the hood at gillies barely qualifies as hood. there is some serious hood not too far away though.

I had no parts in it. It was done by one of the old timer object golfers here in town. I've not seen it yet but I heard there may be trees protecting baskets or defining them. I'll make no opinions or criticisms until I see it myself. I think it will be a nice course no matter how it turns out. Bryan Park has some rolling hills and elevation changes. Plus it's about 3 or 4 miles from my new house.

Oh, okay. That completely changes my mind.

only chance to play hawk hollow in competition before october... there will also be a work day at hawk hollow 7/1 for bridge installation,etc.

Rumour is that at the Grange Monthly on June 30, you will get to hear the band you didn't get to hear at the Va. Open because some idiot ran into me.

My foot is better, I'm able to walk without crutches, and I'm ready to play some drums.

Rock On!

If Rick Allen can do it with one arm, doing it with a banged-up foot should be a breeze. :)

who says rick allen can do it??

As long as we leave the cheese at home.

btw - What kind of cheese was it?

who says rick allen can do it??



Heck, he can't even spell "deaf". My money's on Simon Phillips.

As long as we leave the cheese at home.

btw - What kind of cheese was it?



It was Mobier. And yes, I will leave it home.

I may bring some swiss - a little more universally liked.
