2007 Shenandoah Shag....

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

Around 50 players...beautiful weather...and FUN !

Results will be up this week...

Want to thank some folks....

Revolution Disc Golf Bags and 1080 Discs
BiteShoes
DGA

Landon Furlong...course was wonderful !
Eddie Foster and Travis for hard work on course.
Steve Jewell for help with scoring...
John Biscoe for sponsorship...
Carol Silverthorn for the cookies...
And all who donated a CTP' - or just brought a smile.

Hope - Pros enjoyed added cash...and AMs the huge payout.

Glad to hear so many people say "I heard this was an easy course...no way!"...as they turned in the many rounds in the high 70s' on this par 66 course.

Just wanted to say, that I though it was a nice thing to see so many people just relaxing after the awards, and not running to their cars to get home...Landon and I, were watching the end of the US OPEN, and people were still playing the course hours after the tourny' was done.

Thanks to ALL.......see you next year !

Brandon

and YES...Sherando and the Shag WILL have PayPal' in 2008

...other than years ago with no baskets...

We're playing the back nine of BB at 6:00 as usual. Meet at my house by 5:45. We'll play a couple of rounds. Then we'll have BBQ at dusk and play glow at dark. Let me know if you're interested.

big branch=timber ridge??

grange monthly/crabfest saturday 10:00 grange time, HH work/play on sunday 10:30 HH time- bring weedeaters, rechargeable screw guns if you've got them- we will be installing 2 bridges at the least so be prepared to get your feet wet briefly as well. also hope to get the 27 hole set-up in the ground. will probably not bush hog course until closer to the event 7/14 but we've had so little rain that the grass is super thin anyway.

big branch=timber ridge?


Big Branch formerly Timber Ridge North
Timber Ridge formerly Timber Ridge South

Most disc golfers aren't smart enough to understand directions so I changed the name.

Live music will also be provided.

Yep, the new course is in and beautiful. They are also having a tournament on Saturday with food(crabs) afterwards. It's $5 to play and the entry fees will go to the Friends of Bryan Park. Tee time is 10:00am.

one round or 2? i will probably be down there saturday afternoon but if it's a one round tourney i may come early.

It's just going to be a round of 9 from the short tees and then a round from the long.

can't make it until later anyway- welding HH bridges is now set for tomorrow a.m.

welding? /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

i can't wait till HHO!

Anyone know anything new/recent about this one? There's a 4 year old flier up on the site http://www.flyingdisc.net but I wanted to make sure the dates were still 7/7-7/8, not much more than a week away. Gonna be my last tourney in Northern Va

Cheers,
Jeffrey

OK. A few announcements. Big Branch will be set up nearly the same as is was for BRAWL #1 in December. It is a par 58 course with a 1000ft par five and two sweet par fours. I had announced at the Golden Hills Open that we would play a par 54 course, but since the grass isn't growing that much I'm playing the real course. This course is awesome and some say it's better than Timber Ridge. Pass the word.

Any word on Duck Golf?

i received an email from the td several weeks ago that it was occurring- no other evidence of its existence has been seen. i'm guessing that if you show up there saturday a.m. there is a tournament. td's phone number from last years event info is 703-969-8372- i suggest everyone call him.

this will not occur again next year. i will not approve it again under current management.

Dave asked that anyone coming that has a portable pole hole to bring it with you.

Lookin forward to my first VA tourney!!! Hoping to bring some NCians to the Big Branch Open!!! Cannot wait.

Greetings,

I'm heading to Chesapeake, VA for work. What courses should I play in the area? I'll have a car and probably some down time so I can reach courses up to 60 miles from there.

new quarter outside of williamsburg is the best. newport news is nice too, bayville in va beach is historic (one of oldest on east coast) and gets tons of play. ace run ranch (private course) in suffolk is good too and has one of the best holes in va (#1).

There will be a workday/playday at Big Branch in Bedford on July 7th. All those who read this message and don't show up will receive a personalized [censored]-whupping from Frank Gonzalez at a random time next week when you least expect it. We know who you are.

You could also play Bennett's Creek, if you like tight, wooded fairways. It's probably closest to Chesapeake. If you go to New Quarter, which is the best, make sure to take loads of insect repellant. Ticks and Chiggers are in full force out there this year. When are you going to be in the area?

Whatever you know that Gonzalez is a lover not a fighter! What time are the workday festivities starting? Can we play also? You know I Gotta throw some 1000 rated rounds to keep up my rating!

Did I mention that there will be a full color tournament stamped dx "Ontario Roc" in the players pack for the first fifty ams that register



Sweet, I'll take the heaviest one you got.

Camping up there? I have the weekend free.

looks like tone tone is registered in pittsburgh so he's off the list. is andrew rivers a va resident?

current odds to qualify for usdgc:
miller 3-1
whorley 4-1
turner 5-1
liddell 5-1
mangus 5-1
mullins 5-1
donelson 6-1
smith 6-1
hasnain 6-1
jones 7-1
pelchat 9-1
bonday 10-1
weidle 10-1
hysell 50-1
biscoe 50-1

I am 99% sure that Andrew Rivers lives in Maryland.

John,I would put Derek Britt and Hunter Todd in there somewhere. I think my odds are more like a billion to one.

hunter todd- definitely a contendah!! he's played well at both venues in the past...

current odds to qualify for usdgc:
miller 3-1
whorley 4-1
todd 5-1
turner 5-1

britt 9-1
pelchat 9-1
bonday 10-1
weidle 10-1
hysell 50-1
biscoe 50-1

whorley's odds to actually finish usdgc would be much higher than his odds to qualify. :p

It's going to be hot hot hot

it is indeed, everyone should try to be well hydrated from the beginning and bring/carry plenty of water- at least mtl will be safely at big valley. hopefully ronnie won't be up all night the night before this year either.

Low turnout this year but I did attend.Next year will be much better.

why is that?

so elk creek is finally getting tee pads. this weekend we are hoping to get some in the ground. so anyone willing to help come out and join us. there will be plenty to do out there. if you are going to come join us please email me or pm me and let me know

thank you

Duck Golf is part of the ODDS series and I need to get the results. I do not see it as a PDGA event. Any idea how I might be able to get the scores?

Thanks

Was there a tourney? Anyone....? Help a brother out.

Dave said he was sending the results to John. No Open division. Advanced was won by Travis, Sharky won GM and a lucky Chris Hysell won Masters.

I have had some good times @ Duck Golf...but it would make more sense to me to move the Battlefield Open into this date. The battlefield Open is held too close to VO.

With a better date, Richmond's central location, the format of the "2 killer B's" (somehow integrated to work with ODDS points) and a little help given to Chris. We could make the Battlefield Open what it once was.

Bonday, I second that!

I'd vote for that!

Camping up there? I have the weekend free.



Sorry. I missed this post somehow.

I'm not promoting camping, and I'd rather people not camp. But if it's the only way you can come then I can definitely work something out. I don't want to turn anyone away.

current odds to qualify for usdgc:
miller 3-1
whorley 4-1



Why aren't Miller and my odds the same? We basically tied at HHO and the VO! Just kidding.

I can't come, but I think Frank is.

If Jim Conrad comes he'll be a serious contender. IMO he's the 2nd best player in the state.

Spots are filling up! PayPal now or risk being left out! I got another dozen registrations this weekend and I received another handful today and yesterday. Don't miss this course. It is easily one of the top 6 courses in Virginia in my opinion. Last chance for a Golden Ticket and paid entry fee into the prestigious Blue Ridge Invitational which is the following day at Elk Creek in Appomattox.

It looks like I'll have better odds in Atlantic City at the poker tables than at Hawk Hollow/Loriella this weekend..Good luck to all that go..Hopefully NOVA can take it down.

I'll wait till paw paw to qualify...

Spots are filling up!



How many have pre-reg? I got a couple maybes down here.

I'll be traveling to Norfolk, VA for business next Tuesday, Wednesday, &amp; Thursday. Are there any minis or leagues I can playing in on those days?

If you have wheels, Newport News plays 5:30ish on Tuesday nights. $5 and $1 acepot. Format changes week to week depending on participant levels. It's a great course to play and relatively easy to play for a first time. Let me know if you'd like directions. The other courses in the area either don't have any organized weeklies, or play on other days (Monday evenings at Bayville - VA Beach).

I might be able to make the tuesday timeframe ... can you send directions?

Directions are in the course directory.

But... from I-64 East, take the Ft. Eustis Blvd. (Route 105) exit towards Yorktown (Exit 250 I believe). Take a left at the light onto Jefferson Ave., then down about 0.25 miles and take a right into the park.

It's a pay to play course, but I don't know if the fee for the weekly covers the greens fee or not.

I just reserved my flight and will get in at 3:00pm to Norfolk Airport. This is a pay to play course? What is the cost to play besides the $6 for the mini?

Check that ... I saw it was $1 per day. That is reasonable. How many participants do you get on an average night? Do you have Open and Am?

Scott-
The directions to Newport News from the airport is take I-64 West toward Richmond. Take exit 250B (Jefferson Ave. Rt.143) and at the end of the ramp take a left, proceed past the Main Park entrance across from the Fire Station and continue west on 143 just past the lake on the right and make a right into the campsite office. I believe the fee is $2 a day now. But if you play the weekly it comes out of your entry fee. Tuesday's weekly start around 6:00 depending on the turnout. We offer Open and Am Divisions.Good luck with the traffic on I-64 between the airport and Newport News, afternoon traffic is usually terrible in either direction. Just be patient an bring lots of beer. Hope this helps. If you have more questions give me a call. My cell is 757-254-1185.

Golden Horseshoe Open- Hawk Hollow
Open- 1 Ryan Lugo 120 , 2T Naved Hasnain and Hunter Todd 121, 4 Erik Smith 124
Masters- Mark Boyce 125
Ladies- Kelly Boyce 140
Advanced- Brandon Kilby 128
Advanced Masters- Jeff Shattuck ?

Naved shot 56 the first round. Kelly shot 64 the second round which I believe to be the women's course record. She beat both Mark and I as well as beating or tying the whole lead card in open..

Spotsy Summer Open- Loriella
Open- 1 Stephen Miller 2 Naved 3 Erik Smith 4 Derek Britt
Masters- Me
Advanced- Chris French
Advanced Masters- Jimmy Stanley
Intermediate- Ron Mattingly

Erik and Naved shot course record 56 on long to long the first round. I beat Pelchat in our second playoff of the year at Loriella in 2 events. New long pin on hole 13 is great!!!

VA Rep to the United States Disc Golf Championships will be Naved Hasnain!!!

VA Rep to the United States Disc Golf Championships will be Naved Hasnain!!!

56 on the long-to-long Loriella set-up is HOT.

Congrats you NoVA mullet

Congrats, Naved! Enjoy the United States String Golf Championship. While you're near Charlotte, try some real golf courses like Hornets and Renny.

those look like quitter scores..... ;) :eek: :D

The most prestigious disc golf tournament of the year, and it's not even played on a disc golf course.

I liken it to playing the entire NFL season on a 100 yard rectangle and then playing the Super Bowl on a 60 yard oval. Or playing the World Series on a 60 foot rhombus. Different field, different sport.

I think Harold's the best designer there is (besides Mule), but, in my opinion, that ain't golf. Sorry.

I didn't quit by the way. I had to withdraw due to an injury--sprained pride. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Me too. Far too many urban intrusions. That event should be played on a pretty course!

Thanks, Mr. Tormet!

I got 2 definates coming with me to Big Branch (they have not pre registered) and 2 maybes (likely to come). That is a full car full of Greensboroians!!!

Looking forward to a good time!

Looks like we'll finally get the chance to meet Tyson. Seems like everytime we were going to play in the same tourney something comes up for one of us. See you Saturday!

Sweet Snapp,

You need to play advanced if you want to play together...I trying to get the Golden Ticket. ;)

I have some intermediates in the car though.

Tyson

...trying to get the Golden Ticket.



Same here :D

What course will we use? Any map ? yardage ? sorry i have the open on my mind/

I just sent pay pal.

Kozak.

I couldn't disagree with you anymore Vince...I think it's golf at it's finest...Every shot is a pressure shot and there is so much risk/reward in that course it's amazing...It's impossible to be off your game and come in with a good score.

I find it hard to believe people who have actually played in the USDGC wouldn't think it was the best tournament they've played...Besides the stellar golf, the professional atmosphere and the work those guys put into it tops any other tournament.

The yellow rope is the same for all...don't throw there..

Can't wait to get back to Rock Hill..hopefully it's this year.

Congrats Naved, you'll love the tourney...It's an amazing GOLF course.

Actually, we feel the same about everything but the course/rope. I think it's the best tournament of the year. It's the most prestigious. It's hands down the most professional. The amenities are absolutely amazing. Thank you Mr. Poole and staff.

I make a distinction between the tournament and the course. Tournament-first class. Course-too gimmicky.

Don't you think Harold would trade all the yellow rope for wooded rough if he had a magic wand? I think he would. Having all that rope means that Harold doesn't think that his course is a good test for a championship as-is.

If they would just plant a few trees along the fairways each year, they wouldn't need all of that rope eventually. They've been playing the USDGC for almost a decade now. If they had planted some vigorous trees like Polonia, Catalpa, or Pin Oaks, for example, then they would be huge trees by now, and there would actually be some rough on that course. In my opinion, a few well placed trees on holes 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16 and 17 could be equally as penal to poor shots without using any rope.

The tournament is the standard of excellence, I just wish that the course was also. Either move the tournament or plant some trees. Just my opinion.

What course will we use? Any map ? yardage ? sorry i have the open on my mind/

I just sent pay pal.

Kozak.



Thanks for the PayPal.

We're are playing Big Branch which is on a separate part of the farm than the Timber Ridge course. It's a mostly open course that has a 1000 ft par five and three other true par 4s. I'm working on the course map, and hopefully can measure some distances before the tournament.

Let me know if anyone has any more questions or need directions. Thanks

Remember, Big Branch is played on a working cattle farm with a small creek. Please wear appropriate footwear, bring tick repellent and, as always, PACK YOUR LUNCH! Pass the word.

The weather is supposed to be just about as perfect as late-July, Southeastern Virginia weather can be tomorrow, everyone should come on out to the Big Branch Open and play a very enjoyable course. Glad to hear alot of the NC guys are coming up, I cannot believe there is not a tournament down there this weekend. See everyone in the morning.

Ditto. I just hate seeing all the man-made garbage out there. Buildings, roads &amp; asphalt, etc. I think golf should be a park-like experience where you don't have to look both ways before walking to the next tee.

You guys are awful hard on the course down there, I find the course quite scenic (http://www.sharkysshots.com/albums/userpics/10002/usdgc20050003.jpg) and the OB rope fair.

My car (4 or 5) deep have never played in VA!!! Its gonna be fun.

No doubt, it has its scenic moments. Perhaps Vince and I are spoiled by playing private courses so much.

Hey, I'm spoiled too. :D

wow, "gimmicky" and "garbage"... nice. maybe the course design has something to do with the spectators in mind... just maybe

Taking comments out of context, heh? My "garbage" comment was about the surroundings on the course, not the design.

The design is all about what Duvall had to work with, which was a very scenic university campus. Scenic university campus does not equal ideal golf course.

Please excuse the diversion. Now, back to Virginia Golf........

Scenic university campus does not equal ideal golf course.




Especially without carpet teepads

wow, "gimmicky" and "garbage"... nice. maybe the course design has something to do with the spectators in mind... just maybe



Hi Juff. I'm still alive

context heh? you as well... i didnt actually say you're garbage comment was about the course design, though my phrasing may have eluded to that. it does still relate to course flow.

Hi Juff. I'm still alive

thank god... and its looks like you've been playing more than me lately.

context heh? you as well... i didnt actually say you're garbage comment was about the course design, though my phrasing may have eluded to that.



Bingo. Phrasing is a big thing in communication. Sorry I misunderstood you in any event.

Hey, how about that Virginia Disc Golf?

Speaking of Virginia Disc golf...


The weather is supposed to be just about as perfect as late-July, Southeastern Virginia weather can be tomorrow, everyone should come on out to the Big Branch Open and play a very enjoyable course. Glad to hear alot of the NC guys are coming up, I cannot believe there is not a tournament down there this weekend. See everyone in the morning.



Not that the USDGC discussion wasn't interesting...

I been fortunate to enjoy a few victories in my Open career, and I am proud of that. That pales to the pride I feel from directing a PDGA tournament that produces a first time PDGA winner. A year ago Adam V got his first victory at the Timber Ridge Open. This year Erik Smith won the Walnut Creek Open, and Rusty Wilhelm also won first Open tournament at the Golden Hills Open.

Following in that tradition, congrats to Tommy Donnelson on his first Open victory! Tommy beat a stout field. I'm proud of you, buddy! Congrats!

The Blue Ridge Invitational field is set. Tommy joins Erik, Tony Ellis and Ryan Jones in Open. Mitch Hoeppner won Masters to join Rusty, Jim Conrad and Johnny Brown at the BRI. Mike Richards also garnered a Golden Ticket to accompany Frank Gonzalez, Greg Clemons, and David Stowell in the Advanced field. Char Jarret and Wendy Boetccher tied for first in the Open field--Char declined the money to retain her amateur status, but did win a Golden Ticket to compete with Laura Clark tomorrow.

Thanks to each and every person that came out to the Golden Ticket events. I appreciate it.

It's on! Tomorrow at 10:00.

Results to follow.

Tommy D wins Open, Rusty Wilhelm wins Masters, Char Jarrett wins Ladies and Frank Gonzalez wins Advanced. Scores to come soon. Thanks to everyone who came.

Thanks for a great time Saturday Vince. Glad to hear all went well today. See everyone at the Blue Ridge Open on Sunday, August 12.

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.

<font size=5> Bryan Park opens new disk golf course</font>
Richmond.com
Wednesday, July 18, 2007
Friends of Bryan Park, a non-profit group of city and county residents dedicated to the improvement and preservation of Joseph Bryan Park, recently announced the opening of a new disc golf course at the park on Tuesday.

Laid out in the east and north portions of Bryan Park, a 266-acre city park in Richmond's Northside, the new nine-hole disk golf course was a massively volunteer driven project. Volunteers raised funds, laid out the course and installed the disc golf "baskets," which were purchased by the City of Richmond's Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities Department.

Disc Golf is like the game of golf, but flat discs, similar to Frisbees, are used. The game is also commonly called Frisbee golf or "frolf." The sport is growing in popularity and can be enjoyed by players of all skill levels.

Friends of Bryan Park works closely with the City’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities to fundraise, educate, improve and manage Bryan Park, which was given to the city in 1911 as a memorial gift in honor of Richmond leader and businessman Joseph Bryan.

Results to follow.

I'm not sure...and I bet someone on the boards can fill in the details...but your stellar second round may not receive a rating due to the lack of propagators (not enough people with established ratings played the same layout you did). Regardless, great shooting!

Does that mean that the round won't count towards the next ratings update? It would not be cool to have one of my best rounds ever of disc golf to count for nothing. :confused:

How has this worked out in past tournaments? Anyone?

Thanks in advance.

Dan is right, only 3 rated players played that second round from the shorter tees, therefore this round does not get rated. You should have played advanced.

Thanks for the clarifications, Dan. UVA grads are smart! I don't care what Biscoe says.

The weekly at Timber Ridge on Thursdays has been cancelled due a pending baby! Spread the word.

Blue Ridge Open this weekend!
Elk Creek B-tiers in September!

Come out and support these tournaments, please!

Vince;
Are you and your wife expecting? Have you signed him or her up for the PDGA yet?

No weekly's at the farm? What shall we ever do? I guess i will have to start something at peaks view! Any takers? Taking it back to the old school! Great for the upshot game!

Just because-

The main event in on Sunday but there is a full day of disc golf fun on Saturday as well:

Gold Tee Singles Challenge - play the challenging Golden Hill Gold Tees
Sat Aug 11. Registration 11:30, Tee 12:00
Pro and Am divisions - not sure of the $, maybe $10 pro and $5 am?

Random Draw Doubles - White tees are the usual for this event
Sat Aug 11. Registration 3:30, Tee 4:00. $5.00 per player.

Fun times were had by all today. The course was in top-notch shape but still showed it's teeth at time like only it can. Contrary to what some people might say, the Golden Hills course is a very great, very unique course that will test every part of your game, espically your patience. I encourage everyone in the region to play this place at least once.

Congrats to soon-to-be-father Whorley for making it 4 years in a row in the open (with cell phone in his pocket all day) and big props go to MODG for getting his first ADV win over baggers Clemens and Foster. Rrrruuuuffff!

Whorley and jim conrad both ace as well to split the pot. Not sure who won the 3 baskets in the CTP competition, as I split out early to listen to the end fo the race on the radio.

The Elk Creek Classic AM event in Appomattox, VA is less than 3 weeks away, hope to see everybody there. Info can be found at www.elkcreekdgc.info (http://www.elkcreekdgc.info)

Baskets go to James Conrad (son of ace pot winner Jim), Brian Sward, and Dan Lassiter. More to come.

Thanks, JP!

Don and Julie Wetzel announced they were going to step aside from running the BRO after ten years. They're handing the reigns over to Jim Conrad, who I'm sure will continue the fine tradition. Thanks for the memories, Don and Julie! Don't be strangers.

The course was in great condition! Thanks Mitch and company!

I had great groups all weekend and couldn't have scripted a better day. Hitting my first-ever PDGA ace on one of my favorite dg holes was certainly a cherry on top!

Quote of the year "That's the first bad kick I've seen you get here in 4 years." --Tim Barr

I'm still laughing at that one.

Hey JP. Anyone that says Golden Hills is anything other than a great, challenging course just doesn't get it. It is on my short list of favorite courses and if you make it to Ramcat you'll see little bits and pieces of it's influence there. BTW my local informants say Y'ville's King Matthew, errr, Matthew King was in that mix in Advanced tied for second. Y'all come on down to Yadkin County when you get a chance. :cool:

Hitting my first-ever PDGA ace on one of my favorite dg holes was certainly a cherry on top!





what hole did you hit?

congrats on winning this tournament AGAIN.

Thanks Don and Julie for a fun event. The course is different than any other I've played. I'd like to go back and try it again. Congrats to Vince on his Open win, the Hammer and I will hit you up next year. Way to go JC! Rruff!! Nice win brother. You earned it out there. Great Time, Great people. Advanced Masters was the coolest division again. Thanks for everything.

The results for the Blue Ridge Open have been posted. It looks like the second round for the Intermediates do not have ratings and I am not sure why. All players used the White tees the first round. Pro and advanced used the Blue tees for the second round and the intermediates used the white tees again.

The scores do not tell it all, of course. For example, Vince Whorley tied the tournament record that he set back in 2005. Mitch Hoeppner and Will Lewis tied for first in Pro Masters and had a play off starting on hole 18. Will won the flip and threw first. His shot hit a branch and fell to the ground leaving him a difficult shot with OB between him and the basket. Mitch�s first shot looked almost the same; however, he got thru the tree and way up the fairway (not bad for someone who says he never gets a break). Will�s second shot looked like it was going to make it over the OB; however, it was just inches short. Mitch�s second shot ended up less than 25 feet from the basket so Will had to go for it from about 80 feet. It was a grand effort but was not to be. Mitch laid up for his drop in 4 and victory. His disc stood up and looked like it was going to roll away, but he got another break and it stayed by the basket. James Camden playing in the advanced division came from the second card to win. His second round Blue Tee score was 3 shots better than his competition. Steve Keighton�s advanced master score would have won the Pro Masters division. Steve said it was his best Blue Tee round ever. What a great time to have a hot round. Rusty Wilhelm was playing injured. He had to use a crutch for both rounds. If you are familiar with the Golden Hills course, you know how tough that had to be.

Thanks to everyone that came. A special thanks to Chris Hysell for providing the discs, to Mitch Hoeppner and Josh Taft (and many others) for all of the work on the course, to Innova for providing a good deal on the 3 baskets that were given away, and especially to my wonderful wife, Juli, for all of the help and support. It has been a great 10 years and Juli and I have many wonderful memories. Thanks to all of the people that made the Blue Ridge Open what it is and thanks to Jim Conrad for making sure it will go on.

The results for the Blue Ridge Open have been posted. It looks like the second round for the Intermediates do not have ratings and I am not sure why. All players used the White tees the first round. Pro and advanced used the Blue tees for the second round and the intermediates used the white tees again.





A round requires 10 ( I think) players with ratings over something like 600ish for the round to be rated playing the same layout.

The first round with everyone playing the whites obviously has this.

The second round with jiust those few people playing the whites, does not.

Just thought I'd pass it along!

Thanks so much for running such a great tournament Don and Julie. I played last year's tournament and that is what really got me in to playing tournament golf. I had a great time.

By the way, I think Vince's ace was on hole number 3 from the blue tees. That hole is about a 160ish feet long with a 60 foot or so drop from tee to basket. Blue tee requires a bit of a turnover shot for righthand backhand throwers. It's a fun shot.

yeah I've played this tournament in 05.

I def. remember hole 3. How could you not?

Hey Don, Excellent job. Thank you and Julie. You guys are awesome!! Vince, nice golf dad2be!! Impressive Tournament Ace. Also, thanks to Greg and Ed, i had fun playing both rounds with these baggers, um, guys. It was awesome fun. Appreciate the hospitality too, Greg. You too Chris, thanks for the ride!! RRruuff!! JP Thanx man!! Peace. :D

You need five players with established ratings over 799 to get unofficial ratings online. However, that round without ratings will be combined with the one with ratings so that both rounds should get official ratings.

Chuck - Thanks for the info. Appreciate all your efforts on keeping us straight on ratings.

How does that work exactly and will it be the same for the Big Branch? Thanks!

Thanks MTL, John, and MODG.

MTL--Yes, the ace was hole 3 from the blue tee.

Snapp--I'm rooting for you to get your round rated!

you a dad yet??

Vince, you can't be me until you start playing in all of the ODDS events and unseat Skinnnnner as the Open Champ. There is more involved than just winning one event year after year.

My middle finger is a beautiful shade of purple/maroon. My right shoulder and arm are still numb from playing disc golf for two days last weekend. Will I quit? Eventually, but i'm trying every day to relearn this game and become a factor again.

Hey all you Virginia Am mullets. 2008 Am Worlds in Michigan - August 2008. Next year we need to get some Virginia representation!
2007 there were 5 Virginians, 3 of which ended up playing in the semifinals for their respective divisions. Let's get some more folks there next year! (California was definitely talking trash this year about how they were going to win all the divisions!)
For you Disc Golf Clubs - maybe we need to coordinate and consolidate some funds in order to sponsor some youg stud or studdette that can't afford to go.

I can't believe the Virginia page has slipped to the third page of the discussion site again! What's up - everybody sleeping out there on vacation? No comments? Nobody wants to go to World's next year?

This Virginian is up for it! John Roy is throwing together a group of us from Newport News to head out there. It's only 7 states and maybe 20 hours away.Hey, no problem!

it's way less than 20 hours- maybe 13-14 to the news.

Yup it was like 11-12 hours coming from Ann Arbor to Spotsy, and Kzoo is 1.5 hours west of us.

I'm checking on a block of rooms at a central hotel but it's still a little early. Right now, I'm thinking 15 rooms for 30 players. I'll get more details as the time gets closer. Maybe even some transportation issues can be looked at. I will keep all interested parties informed.
Mental Note:
Don't let JS navigate.

hmmmm...might have to keep the possibilities open if I can travel with a big group from VA! Also need to get an invite again...I have for the last couple'a years...so...

It was 14 hours to Milwaukee from Fredericksburg. I believe it will be about 11 or 12 to Kalamazooooo.
Let people know that even if they don't earn enough points this year, they can still go after they open up registration as long as you are an Am and a PDGA member (at least I think that is the only criteria).
John Roy - what do you think about the Virginia DG clubs pooling some $ to fund a young lad or lassie that otherwise would not be able to afford to go?

Dude, I'm great with maps. I can totally navigate. At least I can get us through Maryland and into Pennsylvania. After that, I may have had too many beers and then, well, there could be trouble.

Oh yeah, how many points do you need to get the invite?

Hey John I would be interested in this trip!

Congrats to all again and thanks to everyone who came out to enjoy a great course and some extra fun on the side.

Dan

Dan, thanks for the info. I tried to e-mail David Vance earlier this week and it got kicked back. I'll try again. Any chance you or he can post an address here where mailed registration forms can be sent? Thanks!

David Vance said his e-mail should be working, but here's the mailing address for the Mountain Jam pre-reg just in case:

Crozet VA 22932

John Roy - just thought I would let you know you can pick up free ODDS points on me this weekend at High Noon. However, bring da "A" game to Mountain Jam and Fall Colors!

Have I just been called out? Methinks .. perhaps.
There ain't no such thing as free points, my friend. Look forward to seeing you again next month and K'Zoo next year!

Thanks to everybody that turned out for High Noon 3 - we had 62 people for a C tier...awesome! Thaks to Bayville, Newport News, Delaware Disc Golfers, Schumaker Disc Dawgs...just everybody. The weather was great, the play was great, my wife (the real TD) was great...Thanks again! I hope to see ya'll again soon! The numbers are posted.

Oh, Oh, maybe I should be calling out Mr. Dempsey!!

Seeing that I have been just called out, I can no longer be an anonymous viewer of the boards........
How's it going Jeff... I just prereg. for the Mountain Jam.. looking forward to seeing you there....

Things are going well. With your win at High Noon, and John's third place finish, I think the three of us are going to be neck and neck going into the last two ODDS events. Unless of course John doesn't make it to Mountain Jam.... I am pre-registered, should be fun. See you in a few weeks.

Remember to pre-reg for the Mountain Jam in Charlottesville, VA. It's a PDGA C tier event on October 6 and is part of the ODDS series as well! We already have 25 people pre-registered -- it looks like this event will fill. Make sure you get your money in soon to avoid the late fees (and to assure yourself a spot!). More info found at http://www.avenue.org/brdgc/

Also, camping (possible carpet space) and an additional 9 holes located at my house less than a mile from the course! All are welcome, call with any questions, 434-426-8391.

See ya there

Jeff, when I hit every tree, I thought of you bro. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Watch out for my boy Tim, :Dhe's a smooth playa'. NEWPORT NEWS!

Jeff, when I hit every tree, I thought of you bro. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif



Ouch - now that hurts!

I do thank you John, for leaving me a few trees to whap on...let's not forget, I am in 4th place in ADV Masters for the ODDS... I might just sneak up and say boo to some of you guys!

The latest word:

38 paid pre-registrations -- don't be left out, this is not a tournament to miss!

Anyone seen the bridge? Check it out at http://www.avenue.org/brdgc/

Where's that confounded bridge?...

Can't wait for the Jam. I'll be bringing my newly acquired #2 BRDGC tag with me.

You picked on Kevin? Kevin picked on me. I'll be bringing the coveted #35 to the JAM!!

Oh yea, Congratulations on your new addition Vince!

See ya in a couple of weeks.

Franchesco.......there will be no registrations accepted after the players meeting starts! Arrive on time. Besides there is a great chance we are going to fill before October 6.

BRDGC memberships are available for $20 and are good for next year as well. Don't let Vince walk away with the #1!

BTW We have brand new bridges every where needed.

Schedule conflicts prevent me from attending the Jam once again. The bridge looks really nice and was a long time coming. Glad to know you don't have to risk falling into the abyss anymore!

I thought that disc golf was growing, but apparently that�s not true in Virginia. Two of the nicest guys I�ve ever met, ran the first ever Elk Creek Classic this weekend�and they did it with money out of their own pocket!!! The course is SWEET�but it�s very tough and it will challenge you both mentally and physically. The sad part is that only TWO people (who drove over 3 hours each) showed up for this B Tier event!!! In my 10 years of playing disc golf I have never known a tournament to be cancelled because nobody showed up! Way to represent�Virginia Golfers!!!

i want to thank the two people how actually showed up. thank you Mangus and Tortone for want to participate in our event. but at the same time WOW i never expected to see this at an event. i dont know if any event has ever cancelled due to the fact of not enough partipants. its not like this course is out of the way or hard to get to. but we still plan or running an event next year for the pros. maybe more will show up next year.

it was the same day as the druid hill open in baltimore. 95 people, including a large NOVA contingent were there.

I had 15 people show up at my XBox party this weekend. 2 flew in from Canada, 2 drove in from St Louis, 4 from NC, one from Colorado, 2 from Maryland, 2 from Kentucky and 2 from Va.

XBox is growing

Hey Chris, sorry you guys drove so far for it to be cancelled. I had planned on being there, but work,life, etc. Anyway, i am planning on attending the jam in c-ville. hey VA pros, appomattox, aka da ox, is an awesome wooded course!! Don't be skeered!!

i was just bummed and suprised nobody came

WOW, I dont think I have ever heard of this happening anywhere. Sorry it happened to you. I thought all Virginia tournies filled?

Hey Dan, whats the count up to now? Seeing that you seem to be the only one privy to the prereg list. Thanks. BTW I can't wait!! Pics of the improvements look awesome. :D

David Vance, TD is posting the PreReg list today or tomorrow. We are up to 45 or 46 and they keep coming in. Don't wait. We are going to have some upset procrastinators. Don't forget anything postmarked after October 2 will pay an additional $10 for late registration.

Jesse Pritchard

Actually that's postmarked after Monday 10/1/07.

If there actually is any space left by then...

Hey John Roy - are you playing Intermediate because you are scared of the rest of us old guys?

We are at 55 as of today for the Jam!

Thanks Jesse. I am in. :D See you guys soon.

Shouldn't you be playing open MODG? I'm stepping up and playing open for the JAM.

The latest word is 57 pre-reg'd players! As if you needed any more convincing, here's some items to look forward to:

--FREE chance to win a DisCatcher sport! During lunch you get 1 FREE throw for the CTP contest. If you're not close enough, you can buy your way closer after the second round :cool:

--Cheap and delicious lunch! Dr. Ho's Humble Pie is hooking us up. For just $5 (sign up in the morning), you get 3 slices of tasty pizza and a drink!

--You get to see a mix of what Walnut Creek has to offer. White tees play to both short and long positions first round, then pins will be moved for the second round.

--Don't forget the after party! Glow holes at my house, located .9 miles from the course! Camping available Friday and Saturday, call 434-978-1719

Dan

The Battle of the Blue Ridge Team Championship will be held on Saturday, November 24, 2007 at Timber Ridge DGC in Bedford, VA. Five person teams. There will be no restrictions other than that. Men will play blue tees, Ladies will play shorter tees. Just like last year everyone plays one round of stroke play in the morning. A team's best four scores count toward qualifying for the match-play round of playoffs.

Last year we had five teams--Home, Lynchburg, Charlottesville, NOVA and Roanoke. This year I'd like to see at least eight teams, hopefully more. Staunton? Christiansburg? Team GC? Team Nut? Amherst? Team Sherando? Team Spotsy? Team Richmond? Team NC?

Last year team NOVA won and nobody wants that to happen again.

I'll be in contact with prospective team captains soon. Contact me via e-mail if you have questions or want to be a team captain.

VA Match Play Championship at Timber Ridge Sunday, November 25, 2007. Match-play, single-elimination tournament format. $20 per head. Players will be seeded according to PDGA player rating. Registration ends at 9:30. Tee time 10:00 sharp. Women's bracket depends on attendance. Details coming soon.

I may add 10$ and play open. I wanted to possibly get some points on Ed and Bob in the ODDS race. Theres one more after this one , right? Fall Colors? Anyway, after Januaury I can play open masters. :D

Mountain Jam VI is officially full.

adding ancillary (look it up) events (with $ prizes)- antique pie pan distance contest, hot pepper eating contest, possibly haybale mini golf as well.

Congratulations on filling the event.

tossed the pie pans today a couple times- they are very understable- i'll be surprised if anyone throws one 275.

some movement on the HHO waiting list- Ian Iverson and Chris Mangus are in.

since hho is sold out...when are the names gonna end up on that cool pdga tour site? :D

wanna check out the competitors please

registration is up...

For your discin' pleasure!

Question - how are points tabulated (I need to know what I have to do in order to beat Mr. John Roy :) I think he is 2.5 points ahead of me....)

1 point for playing plus one for each person you beat, bonus points as follows for placing top 5 in your division: 1st=7, 2nd=4,3rd=3,4th=2,5th=1

hmmm...if John doesn't play his own event (being the last of the 2007 ODDS events), looks like you just might have the points you're looking for.

John - Is it true that the Pros will only play New Quarter?

By the way, I will TD for you so you can play in the Am tourney. You have done so well this year and you need to play in this last event to keep the competition on their toes!

That is correct Mike.
All Open players will be at New Quarter all weekend. It will be great. :D

Thanks!



I've had several people ask about hotels for the event and after a couple of minutes I was surprised more than a couple of hotels in W'burg for as low as $ 39 a night. I could'nt find a room cheaper than that in the whole ODDS series. Book early!
Wendy, Dee you hearing me?

There's a small Rodeway Inn right dead smack between the 2 parks on rt 143 (Jefferson Blvd) $36 bucks a night.

oops, I booked early last week, now the rates have gone to $39...still, you can't beat the location

Party at Shane's Room!!! :cool::D

havent been to this great tournament since I won it in advanced back in 04.

Making my return this year!!

That's right Robert. We didn't have New Quarter to play either. I know you will like it, its a great course. Looking forward to having all the gents from NC in town. We have notified the proper authorities. :D

I found two Rodeway's neither one says Jefferson Blvd. I show 7224 MERRIMAC TRAIL &amp; 1413 RICHMOND RD

There are lots of others to choose from, if I find one close to Busch Gardens am I close to where I want to be?

Darn it wish I could be there for some VA,,Kick A@&amp; time....
See ya'll soon....
Spin iTT

Jeff:

It's Jefferson Ave. at Newport News Park and it turns into Merrimac Trail once you get up closer to Williamsburg where New Quarter is. So give the Merrimac Trail location a try. In the alternative, anything close to Busch Gardens is going to be about 10 minutes from New Quarter and perhaps 15 minutes from NN Park.

What Mike said, it's the one on Merrimac Trail. Sorry for the confusions...I might give out my room number for the party!

I think Jesse P is considered a pro now. I may be wrong

Good luck to all at HHO! I hope your event goes as well as I hope ours does also. If there are any golfers that don't think they are going to make it off the wait list and still want an event for that weekend, we have spots open down in NC at the DEPC.
I wish I could be in 2 places at once that weekend.

Exactly.

I don't think the the world is ready for two MTL's. But you could double your chances of getting whacked with a disc.

Unfortunately I'm not playing HHO, but I probably would have played PRO.

Question: my player rating is 943 and I am a registered pdga am. I did accept $23 at the Jam. As long as my rating stays below a certain number 955(?), am I still able to play as an advanced player?

Secondly, how will the expert division affect this status next year?

Again, this is just for my education. I would have played open at HHO.

If there were two MTLs, then their enormous heads would revolve around each other like the Earth and Moon due to gravitational attraction.

Since you accepted cash at a PDGA, you are now permanently considered a pro. You must register as a pro next year.
Yes,per the 2007 PDGA Competition Manual, in 2007 you may still play am for the rest of the year since your rating is below 955.
Rule 2.4 Pros Playing Am
(A) Pros rated less than 955 may now compete in Amateur divisions offered at PDGA A, B, C, and D Tier events, for which they qualify based on rating, age, and gender.
(1) Pro Men and Women
&lt;955 can play Advanced (MA1), &lt;915 can play Intermediate,....


Secondly, how will the expert division affect this status next year?


Good question, I don't know. That, I assume, will be explained in the updated Competition Manual if it exists yet.

I sent Schneider's info if you didn't have it yet John.

The next question is what is the monetary difference in registering as a pro and am with the pdga? Have I just accepted cash that is less than the extra amount I will have to pay as a registered pro??

Do they really want no one in the pro division???

BTW, big hit in VTI Vince;)

haha I love you vince.

Sounds likes you already know the answer. I think it's $55 and $75.

Have I just accepted cash that is less than the extra amount I will have to pay as a registered pro??


$30-$23=$-7. So, the technical answer would be no. :Dj/k



Do they really want no one in the pro division???


Feel the dark side of the force, Luke. Let it flow through you. Mwu ha ha ha!


BTW, big hit in VTI Vince;)


No Duh.

ancillary events update:
antique pie pan distance contest will be saturday at lunchtime

hot pepper eating contest saturday night

texas hold 'em saturday night.

we also have 20 gallons of hawk hollow homebrew pale ale for saturday night and for the gallery during the final.

burning through the pro wait list, i will try to update the online pre-reg later today.

also- we will be stuck with the cattle for the weekend- the creek in the other field where i usually lock them out of the course is completely dry. if this presents a problem for anyone i will be happy to refund your registration. the cattle are docile and generally will do their best to avoid the people/stay out of the way.

on the other hand- it is unlikely there will be a bridge washout this week.

ancillary events update:

hot pepper eating contest saturday night





Rectal first aid clinic Sunday morning.......

hopefully my current record of near death experiences (2) at Hawk Hollow will still be in tact after this weekend.

That's a concussion and heat stroke for those keeping track at home.
