Mr. Duke, that would be grand. Historically, we have had the following participation:
2005- 2 teams
2004- 4 teams
2003- 3 teams + one staff group.

It would great but in order to have any type of field, I think we need to work on generating more female players, that's why supporting TWC is so important for the long term growth of the ladies divisions.

We appreciate all the support you guys have been throwing our way, and thank everyone who helps cultivate more girls on the courses.

I didn't say it was here yet, but with the growth of the TWC and the increase of ladies in the sport, the day may be just around the corner. :cool:

Has the burn ban been lifted down in Wimberly? And/or will campfires and grills be allowed?
Sorry if this question has already been asked and answered, too lazy to read :D
Temple has another women team going :cool: That makes 5 teams for Temple, not even close to last year though. Slacking :( :D

Hays County website still shows burn ban in effect.
http://www.co.hays.tx.us/

advance masters team of mike harrell and mark bryant, will be playing at wimberly on saturday at 10am to practice for world doubles. We will be playing three rounds one best lie, one best score and one alternate If any teams want to come practice with us, we are looking for someone to play against. You can post or just show up, we will be teeing off at 10.

My partner and I will be there at 9:00 but, will tee off at 9:30. Can you move it up 30 minutes?

Bert, I thought your partner was doing the scores at Red Rock this weekend?

My partner for practice (not for AM WORLD DOUBLES).

albert we will be there before 9:00 am tee off at 9:30 sounds great. looking forward to it

Mike, you can call me Bert. Look forward to practicing with you.
The Pro Shop opens at 9:00. Bring extra $$$ if you can. They have some great new plastic at good prices.

Woops, sorry Mike. I just found out we will be there the following Saturday.

ok bert from now on there will be another person there if u know someone who wants to play

A majority of Wimberley if not all is in Blanco County not Hays.

Who cares which county its in, from one side of the street to the other, nothing really changes. Guys, we got rained on last weekend a bit, and my observation would be that a week's worth of gully washers would have to appear in order to elimiate the dry conditions.

Hey, the fire at Snow Farm was started by an electrical spark. Just imagine what a campfire could do at Circle R. I don't think everyone wants to melt their shoes stomping out flying embers.

RUMOR OR FACT?
Heard today that if the burn ban is in effect that there would be no camping at all at CIRCLE R for AM DOUBLES weekend. If so, could someone please send me info for other available campgrounds in the area.
Also does a burn ban in those counties restrict gas grills or Bar-B-Q pits?
My home county, BELL, does not restrict grills and pits during burn bans.

it doesn't restrict gas grills or b-b-q pits.

Woops, sorry Mike. I just found out we will be there the following Saturday.


Ok mike, I got it worked out now and will be there at 9:00 this Saturday. See ya then.

Camping should be allowed, but if the burn ban is still in effect....absolutely NO flame of any kind will be allowed. That includes gas grills, bbq pits, candles, etc. Please email [email protected] with any questions regarding camping.

Just wondering if anyone knows the schedule for the event by division. THANKS. :D

signing up soon...out of retirement...my old partner Keith May and I will be joining the adv. master division. looking forward to seeing everyone again.
any idea of how many adv. mst. teams?

Maybe we could take donations for a sprinkler system at Circle R!!!!! Camping without cooking???? Nah :(

I totally understand and agree with the fire safety issues at hand but I am sure that myself and others who will be camping at the ranch do not want to eat cold steaks, chicken or whatever for supper.

May I make a few suggestions for options....

1. Have a designated cooking area for dinners. Everyone could bring their pits and grills to this area for dinner cooking. It could be close enough to a water hose for emergencies. I can also bring several fire extinguishers for this area that I would leave for you guys at the ranch to keep. (Yes my occupation is in fire safety).

2. Have a food vendor who could supply hot meals for dinner.

3. We could all cook in your kitchen...Ha Ha! :D

Even in a situation like this a safe and intellegant option is always at hand.
Please let me know your thoughts on this and let me know if I need to bring a few fire extinguishers.

If the FIRE BAN is still in effect for AM weekend there WILL be NO open flames of any kind. That includes cig. butts on the ground, BBQ Pits, gas grills or even pit fires with plenty of water and extinguishers. This does not come from the crew at Circle R, but from the Fire Marshall in Hays County, and yes, Circle R is in Hays County. I ran registration for the PRO weekend and everybody had to sign a sheet of paper saying that they would support the burn ban or be ticketed by the Hays County Fire Department and risk expulsion from the tournament and grounds of Circle R.

If the Burn Ban is still in effect then you need to support what the governing body of that county has set forth. This is not a time to try and question or circumvent the rules. Over 800,000 acres have burned in Texas this year, including several towns. This is not something to be taken lightly. Do you want to play disc golf or ....

Hopefully by the time AMs weekend rolls around enough rain will have happened and the burn ban will be lifted and water will be in the creek, water fall and ponds.

hey bert thanks for the heads up we will see you there on sat at 9:00 am

whats up Ricky Wright, thats great news, u and keith will be a hard team to beat. but you know me, and ill be asking you for a side bet so think about it and remmber the last time i ask you, you said no and you would have won.

Yea, I remember Mike. We will see about the side bet...

Get it Done Round Rockers!!!

Ya'll count us in. :cool:

OK ladies,
In the past there has only been one division for AM women at World Doubles. This year, an Intermediate division will be offered with the understanding that if there are not at least 3 teams, those signed up in Intermediate will be asked to play in the advanced division. Please email [email protected] if you have any questions regarding AM World Double divisions.

Hutchinson and lund are in :D:D:D

They'll have the dumptruck full of sand ready when you get there to fill your bags with.

Ricky I have a big FAT TAG with your name all over it. :) I know we are on, right??

absolutely!!!!

Advance Masters team of Mike Harrell and Mark Bryant will be playing at Wimberly on Saturday at 10am to practice for world doubles. We will be playing three rounds one best shot, one best disc, and one alternate. If any teams want to come practice with us, we are looking for someone to play against. You can post or just show up, we will be teeing off at 10.


Advanced Warning to all Adv. Master Division !!!

"I predict this team to win !"


:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Any takers?

I would definitely be there to practice if I could. STL is a long way from Wim. As for smack talk, the disc will do the talking!

We got some big time baggers coming in from Temple to clean up in the INT. div. :o:D :D:p

We got some big time baggers coming in from Temple to clean up in the INT. div.



Yes we do, in the Int. Womens division :o:eek: :cool:

Saw that its suppose to rain all next week :D Burn ban may be gone by tourney time :cool:

Hope me and my partner Ken can hang w/ you 2 baggers, David and Jim



Come get some :DIf you dare :o:D

bring it on!! Temple baggers are like glorified rec players.

Taylor and Brockmyre are in!

They got to come up with two more ladies teams before there's an intermediate division. So, ladies you better start beating the bushes or you'll be playing up with us.

Saw MIchele Williams at RRS this weekend, and she and Shannon are signing up soon.......Advanced that is.

Does anyone know of any other ladies who are considering playing?

We need more girls, period. :D

bring it on!! Temple baggers are like glorified rec players.




I guess we shall see. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Yes we do, in the Int. Womens division



Hate....how many times have we told you that you do not count as a woman.....that is as far as Disc Golf goes....so stop trying to play in our division!!!

I know that there is another Int team of girls signing up. That means only one more team to go!!

Also....doesn't your PDGA dues have to be current to play?? I had heard that they do so was juz wonderin :confused:

bring it on!! Temple baggers are like glorified rec players



So that would make you a glorified int. player:confused:

I got a spot all lined up for Hate's solar shower, :o:D:)

Yes, you have to be current to play in a Major.

Missy, you know the sad thing................if there's three intermediate ladies and two advanced teams. Just takes the fun out of things. I paid my dues, and just don't see where there's enough of us to split us up. I'm sure I'll catch a lot of flack about this comment, but I do want to go on the record as saying that this change of policy stinks, period.

Do they offer Intermediate Women at Am Worlds?

PRESSURE :o:D
I read when SueMac first started :Ddisc were made from stone :o:Dj/k

I know you like a larger field, isn't that why you are playing intermediate at this event? I just want a reasonable number of teams to compete against, 2/3 versus what historically would have always been a 5!

WHOPPING NUMBER THERE GUYS.

Hey, given you're a Grand Master, you must have been one of those amoeba that mutated and crawled out of the swamp (eventually) I'm only a Master, so you, my friend, were out in the world first. :D

j/k SueMac just kidding :Dis something sticking out of my back :o:DOUCH

Me too, right?

So, please answer the question. "Why are you playing Intermediate instead of Advanced Grandmasters?" You played that division at State Doubles a few weeks ago, as my old feeble mind recalls.

Will be seeing you soon like in two more weekends :D

because my rating allows me :o:D

I'll be there, if we get another advanced ladies team signed up.

its rainin outside and its supposed to keep on rainin.
moisten ground. moisten. may the rainfall till the creek flows and the grass grows greenly.

all i ask from the weather is for it to cooperate with my schedule.
crazy bass weather.
catfish too. this weather makes fish crayzy. if you eat a crazy fish do you get crazy fish disease?

We are going to WIN BEER LEE!!!!! :D

Well, I for one hope you make it Sue :D

ditto here:D

Yes, if past policy hadn't been changed in midstream, that wouldn't be an issue.

Calling any and all advanced ladies, or any team that isn't skeered to come step up to the plate and play where the ladies action should be.

Are you all afraid to play with Dee and me? :o Sure seems that way! :Dj/k

For anyone that is not doing anything else this Saturday come out to Live Oak. We are doing a 24 hole Doubles round that will feature 8 holes of worst, alternating, and singles.

All the details are on the Live Oak Club thread.

is there a update to this list yet :confused: :D

What's the date on that ?

I've received confirmation for the Duke/Dorsett.

That list cant be right, Im signed up but you dont have me on the list. I dont see KING BAGGER anywhere on that list :o

No McCrackhead I'm asking for a updated list :Dstep away from the pipe and let the air clear :o:D

Sue.....since you are stressing so much about the situation i already stated that if we had to move up we would. My partner and i both just want to play some golf and have a fun weekend. But why have divisions or ratings at all at tournaments and why OFFER different divisions if you are going to feel pressured to play above your rating and/or skill level? Christin and I are not skeert to play in the advanced division and like i said we just want to play.

No McCrackhead I'm asking for a updated list :Dstep away from the pipe and let the air clear :o:D



That would only make it worse :D

It's not really stress my dear. It's the fact that Intermediate has never been offered before to the ladies, and after conversation with Mr Houck, I was left with the impression that this had in fact in offered in error, and would be corrected. Now, he's changed his mind, and opened the door for the division. If we were brimming with gals, I'd be the first to endorse the addition of a second division. However, we are thin in ranks, and it just doesn't make sense, IMO.

If you had played Advanced Doubles for several years, contributing each time and appreciating the experience, and then without any increase in participation, they diluted the group by offering a second division, I'm sure you'd have some of the same feelings.

I played the Pro weekend for the experience, and I'm glad I did. I won't be posting about this again, and just pray it works out for the best.

Bottomline, let's all have fun.

I think if I had D as my partner I would be talkin smack too :o

Any word on the Bowman/Pierce Team in FW1? :confused:

Sorry I've been silent on the women's issue. I'm currently in Tulsa reviewing the courses for Am Worlds. Fortunately, PDGA Tour Manager David Gentry is here with me in case I have questions.

Amateur World Doubles has always offered just one division for women: Advanced Women. This year we thought we might have had enough teams for two divisions, but that appears not to be the case.

So for now we will stick to the policy we've always used. There will be one division called Advanced Women.

I hope that in the near future we'll have enough women to make more divisions. And I hope everyone who has signed up will still want to come play.

We apologize for the confusion.

I'll be back tonight, and we'll post an updated list of teams by Friday.

By the way, anyone coming to Tulsa has lots of good golf to look forward to.

This is my first year playing tourneys...and I am not looking to make enemies in the disc golf community but!!!!!

This is an AM event...by only having ADV women division, we are detering AM women from playing. The only way the womens pay outs and competition will improve is by inviting more Rec and INT women into the CLICK.

Most women I talk to around the courses and tourneys have never played in a sanctioned tourney for 2 main reasons. 1 being cost (most have a partner that also plays) and 2 the average beginner or rec player doesn't want to pay $50 to $100 with little to no chance of winning.

Weekly minis are great experience and there again, I live in DFW and showing up to a mini and having another women there to play with is unusual. Tourneys are usually the only time women get to compete against other women...most of us INT women will pay our entries and have a great time learning...it would also be nice to have the opportunity to win at our skill level.

It seems to be about the money? Paying of dues ie; how many years before you earn the right to win? how many times does one get to hold the AM World Titles?

I may never be good enough but I will continue to try and all this insanity about divisions is @#$%. If the players are signed up and there is a card---there should be the division to support it.

I have never seen the INT men have to play ADV in a Major Event.

What about the women that have now signed up in INT, will it cost them more as they now are forced to play up.

Whew----I feel better!

The price is the same no matter the division played.

If you plan to go to Tulsa this summer for Am Worlds, you will find the same situation. Luckly, some of us can hide in age protected divisions. But no intermediate ladies offered at worlds, period. And let's keep in mind that this is a World event, plain and simple.

<font color="red"> That's what so go great about up and coming events catering to the ladies like TWC. </font>


And I hope I have not come across like I'm mad about the whole situation, I don't want to create any enemies due to this whole mess. But a mistake was made, and has now been corrected. I too wish there was enough of us to support more divisions.

Now, back to the real world of disc golf. Bottomline, cultivate more ladies to play. Many times we have to beat the bushes to come up with a division. Like last weekend, thanks to both Kim and Baby for stepping up and playing advanced.

http://www.co.hays.tx.us/

Is this the right county? If so it looks like the burn ban has been lifted.

I called Hays Co. Fire Marshall. They said the ban is lifted, but to call back on Thursday or Friday to check again. :)

Oh yeah, Wimberley is in Hays CO.

I agree with you 100% on growing the sport for women. The thing is that this is a World Championship. This is not just a regular tourney. If you look at Am Worlds in Tulsa there isn't an Int division for men either. There are other doubles tourneys that you can play that offer int women like a-z dubs and like Sue said there are tourney's that I can't even play in like TWC. Not that I want to because Dez will hand it me my butt.

Are there any dress code requirements for this tourney, such as collared shirts for the men and wet tee shirts for the women?

I was told that the Pro weekend was following dress code, but the Am weekend was not. But, hey, that could have changed.

Mr. Houck?

I heard the dress code for the Am weekend is FORMAL ATTIRE :eek: :D:o:cool:

Yes Tye Dye Shirts and shorts :D

Maybe we could get more women to show up if we all play naked? Well maybe, ....most of us !!
:D:D:D

The X step might get a little tricky if you were naked. :o:( :p

Stay away from the cactus!

besides it gets a little chili on the hill. It's misrepresentation.

Stay away from the cactus!



And reach for your disc with your non-throwing hand.

Wimberley was in great shape for Pro weekend. If you haven't been there since '02 you will be pleased to see the the cactus population has been significantly reduced. Kyle Power and I both made sure of that. :D

And reach for your disc with your non-throwing hand.



Was that directed at me, or a tip from your own experiences ?

Stay away from the cactus!


AND THE SQUIRRELS !!! (ouch) :(

Good queston. I was gonna ask that one myself.
In 2004 we had to wear collard shirts but in 2005 we did not.
Also the last 2 years lunch was provided at no charge. Will this be the same for this years?????????

How about a players list?????????

Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only 8 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eight days and Two hours !!!

Here is a list of teams as of last night. Three more came in this morning and need to be processed.

We're oh-so-close to having enough women to make two divisions -- what other women want to come play?

The PDGA has relaxed the dress code for Am World Doubles. I'll post the exact wording and lunch details this weekend. Schedule will be ready Monday.

Wow Billy Lund and Chris Hutchinson are playing. You Texan boys have better watch out. Billy is a big favourite to win Worlds and can throw a MILE!

I hope to be out there Saturday morning to do a little filming for www.discgolftv.com (http://www.discgolftv.com)

Yummmm, lunch! Would you like me to bring down some REAL barbecue sauce from Kansas City with me?

OK, why wait for the weekend? Here is the dress code and the scoop on lunch .

The tournament will be providing lunch both days at no charge. The Fajita King will be with us again. They will have breakfast tacos, migas, and coffee for sale Saturday morning and Sunday morning starting at 7:00 am.

The King is thinking about a pasta dish for lunch Sunday instead of fajitas both days. I'd be interested to hear if players would prefer that.

Here is the dress code:

Because this event is outside a busy city park, the PDGA has relaxed the dress code for amateurs. The main concept is to keep it clean and neat.

No cut-off or ripped shirts or shorts.

Sleeveless shirts are fine. Tank tops are not recommended for men, but they�re legal.

No bare midriffs.

No sports bras, unless they're underneath a conforming shirt. Tank tops and �spaghetti string� are fine for women.

Looking forward to another great weekend.

Thanks,
John

Migas (pronounced MEE gas) is a Tex-Mex tangle of eggs, bits of corn tortilla, and a host of savory ingredients, from black beans, chorizo and cheese to salsa, avocado and chiles. A dish that many professed egg-haters relish, it probably can thank its existence to thrifty cooks looking to use left-over tortillas, since tortillas are an integral part of the dish. The word, migas, in fact, is derived from the Spanish word for crumbs.

I had to look it up -- I'm figuring maybe some of the yankees attending would be curious too.

I have no problem with pasta.....or fajitas :D

Billy's partner has a pretty strong back after carrying him thru Green Country Doubles with all that sand in his <font color="pink"> pink </font> bag. :D:D:D

just do it!! don't be scared!!j/k! :p

John you have Ryan Ringnald team playing IMT when he has a rating of 932 :o:D

did someone loose to much plastic in BG. Come on down and play with me in MA2. They say it's better the second time.

Is there a meeting time yet :D

Rumor has it there will be 2 PDGA marshall walking around.
This event maybe for the ams....but you better know the rules!

I think he's calling you guys out. I mean they did shoot a 46 at RRS.

Marshal smarshal. They don't scare me none :cool:

V, I think I know the rules and can call them when they are broken.

Player Ray

BTW if our team name "Father Dave's Altar Boys" had been taken, Gordon and I would have used "TD and the Marshal" just for laughs :D

word!!etc. :p Are you Marshaling and playing?

If it happens to be the same one that walked around on our card all weekend you better know the rules and you better be ready for him to tell you all of the infractions. This guy also if a group was playing slow he road them big time. This was a very nice person but took his job very seriously. It was the first time I have personally had a marshall watching the group from start to finish including the final nine. Keep in mind this guy was very nice but I also learned a few things from him. My guess it is the wave of the future and we are living in it.

See all you worlds dubs boys Thrusday and cannot wait other than just pushed 670 miles round trip from BG last weekend and now probably tripple that by a week from today.

Peace,

Priceless! :D

I'd like to know how many warnings and or penalty strokes were called agaist their card.

0 he was way cool but no GAMES. All business.

I'll see you in a actually 3 days, we will talk.

I met your buddy Mark, one tough golfer, and totally good guy.
I know they had snowball size hale last night around Little Rock, I was worried. We drove home Clang and I in the worst storm I have been involved with in years. SCARRY! 10MPH on the interstate, could not even see. If you hear from him let me know. I am still worried obviously.

Mark is a great guy.
Don't worry, he probably headed back to South Carolina- where he lives now.
When he lived in Fayetteville, Mark and I hiked hundreds of miles together in and around the Buffalo National River, Hurricane Creek, and many other Arkansas gems. He is a mule! A recovering Ultimate player, he's only played disc golf a little over two years. He got the bug- BAD! :D

Have a great time in Wimberley, Ron. There is a great Mexican restaraunt there. It's about 50 yards off the main road, at a trafic light that is near the bridge. Lit up with little tiki lamps and stuff. Good food. :D

Play smart, throw far. :)

John, any updates to the players list? Just wanting to check if you have rec'd my partner and my entry yet. Sorry for the late sign up. See you in a few days

A schedule would be great,too.

And what format on what holes. :confused:

Jared Christopher needs a partner.....PM ParRoll if anyone's interested? :D

That was white's...asked for blues!!!! :p Not Ian's...cough...cough....cough :p

Do we get to play the "Blues" this year John ?

You know we hate it when you treat us like old men! :D

No he was headed to Little Rock to his parents house!
Thanks Jeff the time is getting short, I am ready to go now, just work today, league tonight, and work tomorrow and then headed for the big Texas state.

That has been a big topic in STL town. That will be our competition, definitely.

Tell Jarred to play with Kris Hartley. They can play MA2 together. lmao

John, I lost a disc on the hill. Its a red spider and I'm positive I left it on #5 in the bushes off to left. I forgot to write it down before I left last weekend.

Do we get to play the "Blues" this year John ?

You know we hate it when you treat us like old men! :D



Act your age Duke :eek: :o:D:cool: It'll take some of the big guns out of the equation

Well, y'all are just "wanna be old guys" :D

You know we hate it when you treat us like old men! :D


No we don't. Whites, Whites, Whites :D

Edman

That's why I asked. I don't think the <s>ringers</s> OMBs coming in from out of state want to either. :cool:

I remember this argument from 2002 -- the only other time that I've played in Texas. Oddly I was a younger OMB and I remember having an opinion . . . . now I'm not sure I care.

I say only PDGA members with numbers less than, say 4250, can vote. :cool:

and I vote long holes!! (er, uhm please John)

LONGER HOLES, My partner doesn't know how to throw short even with that <font color="pink"> pink </font>bag and all . :D:D:D

Sorry guys but there are a couple short holes you have to play no matter what :D

Meadows #2, #7, #11, #13, #17. There's only 1 tee and those holes are less than 300'. You just gotta learn to throw those types of holes as well as #10 and #18. Circ Hill has the same situations, you can't go and change the Masters course just cuz you thinks it's too short. You must learn other types of throws besides raw power grasshopper :D

Okay, but the rest long :p

If it's too long, you're too old, and I'm not that old yet.
Besides, with the sirius plastic, even the blues are getting short. :cool::D

These are John Houck courses. The white tees are plenty long enough :D

Come on Gordon, don't you know you are supposed to make sure at least one of the team members has an arm ? :eek: :cool:

Gordon has two. I'm sure he'll be using the RIGHT one ! :D:D

Anybody know what is going on Friday? is it tough shot? how much? are friday greens fees covered for tourney players??
thanks :D

Why isn't there a updated player list on the PDGA Tour link..this is a huge event and should be updated continually?

The OMB field looked huge last post from Houck, as well as the YGB field, but shouldn't this be updated and online like the smaller events that are already listed?

I expect something in the next couple days if I weigh in what I saw on the PRO WORLD DOUBLES thread. :D

The live online scoring (what the TD submits) still does not correctly handle doubles events. The official results page does. I haven't had a chance to get it corrected.

Looks like that will make five teams. Let's find Missy D. a partner so we can be six!

Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend!

And welcome back Dee!

Here is the latest team list, with pool assignments. Right now we have 86 teams, which means we have room for 22 more. I would not wait until the last minute.

The biggest news right now is that the BURN BAN IS BACK IN EFFECT. Unless we get a bunch more rain, there will be NO FLAMES allowed on the property. No campfires, no charcoal/propane grills, no candles, etc. If you're planning to camp, please be prepared. If you violate the burn ban, you can be ticketed... not to mention the fact that you put the whole property in jeopardy.

We are looking at the possibility of establishing a group grilling area in the parking lot -- we'll see what we can figure out.

It's exciting that we are very close to having enough women's teams to make two divisions. One more team in each division would do the trick.

We're sending schedules and directions to everyone who provided us with an e-mail address when they registered. We'll also post that information here.

Looking forward to another great weekend.

Thanks,
John

Will the AMs need collared shirts, as the pros did, for this event?

OK, why wait for the weekend? Here is the dress code and the scoop on lunch .

The tournament will be providing lunch both days at no charge. The Fajita King will be with us again. They will have breakfast tacos, migas, and coffee for sale Saturday morning and Sunday morning starting at 7:00 am.

The King is thinking about a pasta dish for lunch Sunday instead of fajitas both days. I'd be interested to hear if players would prefer that.

Here is the dress code:

Because this event is outside a busy city park, the PDGA has relaxed the dress code for amateurs. The main concept is to keep it clean and neat.

No cut-off or ripped shirts or shorts.

Sleeveless shirts are fine. Tank tops are not recommended for men, but they�re legal.

No bare midriffs.

No sports bras, unless they're underneath a conforming shirt. Tank tops and �spaghetti string� are fine for women.

Looking forward to another great weekend.

Thanks,
John

Well that dress code will make it real hard on Steve King. :D

Thanks for the update John :DI'm really pumped up for this one :DJust hit my First Ace last night :eek: :Dand put new Tennis Balls on the ends of my Walker :D

John, can you let us know ASAP if your going to be able to get a grilling area going? And if it will be available to use for breakfast and lunch.

So, if we end up with three teams in the two ladies divisions, will the third team of advanced have to play with the bottom team from intermediate ladies or will they be allowed to be paired with Adv Master or Adv Grandmaster team?

Just don't understand why this is happening. :confused: :confused: :confused:
I'm sure this is going to make me seem like a complainer, but this waffling stuff is for the BIRDS!

You do have one team on there twice.

Looks like dirtyfeets and Anderson are play with the yunguns this weekend ;)

John,

Any chance of seeing a schedules for round times before Friday since we're having 3 flights on 2 courses?

Thanks in advance for all your hard work on this and the upcoming World's Biggest :cool:

Looks like their are manning up, since us old farts are going to have to play the short tees.

I haven't seen that stated officially yet, don't just give up.

Here is the letter we just sent to all registered players for whom we have an e-mail address.


Hi, everybody --

Looks like we're heading for a good weekend. The weatherman says no rain later this week, but I�ll believe it when I see it.

If it doesn't rain -- or doesn't rain enough -- the Hays county burn ban will still be in effect. That means absolutely NO FLAME of any kind is allowed on the property. No campfires, no charcoal/propane grills, no candles, etc. If you're planning to camp, please be prepared. If you violate the burn ban, you can be ticketed... not to mention the fact that you put the whole property in jeopardy. We really appreciate your help on this one.

We are going to see if we can set up a communal grilling area in the parking lot.

The jumbo player package for this year includes two hot new drivers, a t-shirt, lunch both days, a mini, green fees, and free camping. The discs are Millennium�s new Sirius Orion LF and your choice of a Star Sidewinder or Star SL from Innova.

Note that most cell phones don't work at the course. If you need an emergency number to give people, it's 830-833-1227.

If you need any help with lodging or driving directions, they're up on our website:

http://www.circularproductions.com/content/category/4/76/60/

Because this event is outside a busy city park, the PDGA has relaxed the dress code for amateurs. The main concept is to keep it clean and neat. Here are the details:

Sleeveless shirts are fine. Tank tops are not recommended for men, but they�re legal.

No bare midriffs.

No sports bras, unless they're underneath a conforming shirt. Tank tops and �spaghetti string� are fine for women.

The schedule is below. We have pool assignments posted on the PDGA discussion board. Basically, here�s how it works:

Pool A is the first 36 Advanced teams signed up

Pool B is the first 36 Intermediate and Women�s teams signed up

Pool C is Advanced Masters, Advanced Grandmasters, and overflow from Pool A and Pool B

Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend.

Thanks,
John

Here's the schedule.


SCHEDULE


Friday, April 7th

11:00 National Championships of Mixed Pairs
3:00 World Championships of Worst Shot (Tough Shot)

Saturday, April 8th

8:30 Players' Meeting, Pools A & B
9:00 Pool A Alternating (Rolling Meadow), Pool B Best Shot (Circ Hill)
11:00 Players' Meeting, Pool C
11:30 Pool C Alternating (Rolling Meadow)
2:00 Pool B Alternating (Rolling Meadow), Pool A Best Shot (Circ Hill)
4:30 Pool C Best Disc (Rolling Meadow)

Sunday, April 9th

9:30 Pool A Best Disc (Rolling Meadow), Pool C Best Shot (Circ Hill)
12:45 Pool B Best Disc (Rolling Meadow)
2:00 Advanced Final 18 holes (Circ Hill)
4:00 Intermediate, Advanced Women, Advanced Master, Advanced Grand Master Final 9 holes (Rolling Meadow)
6:00 Awards

And here are answers to popular questions:

* There are fewer than 18 spots left. If you snooze, you may lose. We will take registrations Friday night until 9:00. Register on Titledisc.com, or call us with a credit card. 830-833-1227. No Saturday registrations.

* Your team will not be in the tournament until BOTH PLAYERS have paid.

* My bad on Anderson-Brenner. They are in MM1, Pool C (not MA1 Pool A).

* No more waffling on women. If we have enough teams to make two divisions, we will make two divisions. We must have three in each division in order to make that split. Otherwise, there will be one division called Advanced Women. Obviously our goal is to get as many women as possible by offering divisions appropriate to their skill levels.

* In keeping with World Doubles guidelines and PDGA guidelines and the principles of good course design, Intermediate, Advanced Master, Advanced Women, and Advanced Grandmaster will all play from the White tees. Advanced will play from the Blue tees. This policy has nothing to do with anyone's age, gender, race, religious preferences, disc choices, or net annual income. It is merely about how far and how accurately people throw.

is it best shot or best disc that plays like singles you just take the low score between what you and your partner shot on that hole

http://www.circularproductions.com/content/category/4/77/58/

Best Disc is like singles.

Best Shot is like the tradtional scramble or "regular doubles."

grumble, grumble, grumble.... I don't have an arm and I beat most of the Advanced field (most with longer arms) at Pecan Park! ;)

Oh well, bet I still have fun.

John......glad you ain't sexist or anything, but glad you are letting us really old guys play the White Tee's :eek: :D :p :cool:

Those measurements were made long before the latest batch of long distance drivers came out.

Those measurements were made long before the latest batch of long distance drivers came out.



True, but I think the scorecards will still prove the policy sound.

As an example, hole #18 on the Rolling Meadow did give up three 3's Pro weekend, but it's still a legit three-shot hole for pros from the Blue Tees. It is more than a three-shot hole for Advanced Masters from the Blue Tees. Even more so for Adv GM's and Adv Women.

Sorry I don't have time to get further into this, because it is a valuable discussion (maybe Chuck can save me). What I did want to say is this: we hope to have a small number of fundraiser discs available this weekend.

If they arrive in time, we'll have maybe 40 brand new blank Sirius Omeags. $30 each -- all proceeds to World Doubles. Limit two per customer. E-mail me to reserve yours. [email protected]

Sorry John,

I know your reasons, and don't want to drag you into an argument or even a discussion about it here. I would love to come down and spend a few hours discussing it at your leisure. :cool:

Yeah Gary, way to distract John when he needs to be concentrating on other things. :D

Besides, I still contend that on a Houck course with 3 sets of tees, the Whites (middle) still have plenty of distance.

Thanks, Gordon !! I agree with you 100% !!! I have been practicing on the whites and there are plenty of distance shots. :cool:

So, if we end up with three teams in the two ladies divisions, will the third team of advanced have to play with the bottom team from intermediate ladies or will they be allowed to be paired with Adv Master or Adv Grandmaster team?

Just don't understand why this is happening. :confused: :confused: :confused:
I'm sure this is going to make me seem like a complainer, but this waffling stuff is for the BIRDS!




I thought you were done crying about this? :o

The Arklahoma entry is already in Wimberley.

This was overheard as they played Rolling Meadows today-

"I wish I knew how to quit you" :D

Burn ban ! :mad:Man, that bonks!!
I guess we could all just sit around the glow of Hates sunburned head . :o
And another thing, No waterfall either /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
Thats Tejas for ya,

There probably won't be any water coming over the waterfall but, OB string will be in place. :D

Qoute of the day:

It gets so hard to keep within the bounderies when the ob's wind the way they do.


:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Three days of practice . . . .?? That would be nice -- maybe spring break will fall on the other side of World Doubles the next time I'm heading to Texas and I can get there early.

From what I've seen from weather.com the weather looks crazy good . . . .?? Is it to early to think the forecast may actually be right?

I played a round with them in Austin on Tuesday. They were walking kind of funny but I thought it was the long car ride that did it. :)

Maybe I missed this, but what is the possiblity of getting our hands on a T-Rex this weekend?

There is a cold front blowing in right now that might bring some rain but that should all blow out by Friday evening. Welcome to Texas.

Wow -- that's way exciting. I play in . . . . well, basically no PDGA events, but when you're traveling in from a distance (Philly) the weather is one of those things that can really make a great trip into a "well, we made the best of it" kind of a thing.

I know Guy Boyan brought home a couple of first run T-Rex's from Bowling Green last weekend...he might be interested in an offer...

Billy got one at Bowling Green too...he mentioned he doesn't really like it though...it flies "too much like a Wraith" he said. Not sure if he'd be interested in trading though, especially since it's <font color="pink"> </font> PINK!

i could be wrong but i thought they hit the shelves april 1st

yup!! they have been out!! i acquired 4 with the proto star stamp about a week ago!! :D

Have you thrown it yet, Efrain, or are those purely "investment" discs?

Your brother only beat me by three strokes at BG --- funny thing is, he's probably dissapointed in his finish, while I'm mostly thrilled with how I played.

I was thowing one in BG with a 20 mph L to R crosswind and it held an overstable flight way better than the Star Wraith.

Oh and yea i was dissapointed on how i played, Every time i got on a good birdie run i would somehow hit a wall of bogeys :(

personally the T-rex is very wraith like with more stability and less glide / speed so less distance stick with the wraith

We have plenty of TeeRexes, including some with the World Doubles stamp.

Now here are a few more updates:

1. We will have 50 very special discs available as a World Doubles Fundraiser. These are blank, hot off the presses, Sirius Omegas. These discs are so new, we haven�t seen them ourselves. They�re $30 each, and all the profits go to World Doubles.

2. Friday�s events (Mixed Doubles and Worst Shot) are just for fun. They are not part of the tournament itself. You can register up until tee time ($20 per team).

3. We will allow campers to grill in our courtyard until 9:00pm Friday night and Saturday night. Otherwise, NO FLAME anywhere on the property. A flame anywhere else can get you removed from the property. We hope this accommodation will make your weekend more enjoyable.

Cranky, crazy Sue was curious as to how many slots are still open? :D

Are there any women out there that need a partner for mixed doubles tomorrow at 11:00 AM?
Please PM me !!! :D:D:D

As of late this afternoon we had just 10 spots left. Sounds like we'll be full by mid-day tomorrow.

If you know anyone who hasn't registered yet, tell them to call us in the morning with a credit card. 830-833-1227. You must pay for both players.

We will start a waiting list. It's normal for 2-3 teams to drop out Saturday morning.

John - I am your PDGA Marshal for this weekend...what time do you want me there at the course to assist you? (I'm staying in San Marcos.)

ALRIGHT LARRY !!! It will be great to see you again. It must have been about 14 years since we played tree golf down in Houston. I will have Harry Kalthoff as my partner. Can I get a membership with HFDS this weekend? :D

Hey this is Kim Kosina AND I NEED A PARTNER CALL ME 972-310-8402 I am in Wimberley.

Hey Kim, just tried to call you. I guess the signal is not to good. Can I call you at the Pro Shop?

Hey this is Kim Kosina AND I NEED A PARTNER CALL ME 972-310-8402 I am in Wimberley.


She needs a partner for the tournament. Not mixed doubles.

I need a fri only partner for ma1 or ma2
anyone, anyone?

Slut!! :p

In 2002 the hot disc was the Archangel. I remember watching the truck pull up. Seems like forever ago, now.

Worst shot -- wow, I'll save my horror about that format for after everyones' paid their $10 . . . or maybe I won't. I ran a marathon once in my life and after I finished I explained to my other brother that I'll never do that again -- he (a running fanatic) said -- "you'll be back". I haven't. When my other brother and I finished worst shot doubles in 2002 we promised each other we'd never do that again. We'll see everyone Saturday morning. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif <--- I think that's my second ever smiley.

Hey Todd, do you know what course Int. will play for worst shot doubles tomorrow? Do you still need a partner?

Represent ROUND ROCK!!!!

Represent ROUND ROCK!!!!

The old men will too :p

You're not that old yet, Matt. :D

Old enough for the WHITE TEES :D

I have no idea what int will play, and yes but just for friday. I have my regular squeeze healing up for sat.

My partner won't be here 'till tomorrow. I'll call Andy at the Pro Shop to find out what course. If we can play "Rolling Meadows", I'm good to play. :D

I will be there today. My partners pass from the state school will not start untill sat. :o

Hey Kim Kosina! <font color="red">I STILL NEED A PARTNER, TOO! </font> :D I tried your number, but I am not sure it was correct. Please call me at 832.654.0464. I will be coming to Wimberly this afternoon! ~Michelle Deering

If anybody sees Kim - please tell her to call me! Thanks!

I just called Kenney (Kim's husband) and left a message for you Michelle. I gave them your number to call. :D

Thanks from MIssy!

Michele (and everyone else), as of 10:41 we have just 7 spots left. One team is on site waiting to produce a crdit card number.

If you are not registered, I would call immediately with a credit card. You will not be in until you're paid -- don't call just to say you're on your way.

830-833-1227.

<font color="purple"> Hey! I talked to Kim Kosina and we are definitely playing. Thanks to all of you that helped us get in touch! Smooch!! I love you guys! (sniff sniff) :D</font>
Yeah! I get to play!! (singing) :cool:

John, can you please clarify which course will be played today?
Thanks :D

glad to have you join us

ah hell yeah!! we will be out there shortly!! :D

Tough Shot is meant to be a fun practice round with a competitive edge. The format helps you learn where not to throw during the weekend.

We normally go with consensus on which course to use. If the players have a preference, we're happy to accommodate that. From what I'm hearing so far, it'll probably be the Meadow.

ah hell yeah!! we will be out there shortly!! :D



everybody hide your daughters

On my way there. I won't be bringing my daughter.
