Hey tom when I see you next time I'll sign up,possibly tomorrow at joey's and I need to know if you when you are putting the holes at Alma.....thanks.......

Spoke to the Mayor this morning.Told him to wait till next week to move the pins.I still have three more to lay out.I should be getting the chainsaw tomorrow.So this week i'll slide down there to clear a little more.Next week the holes will be moved.I need you guys to rake out the fairways on the new holes.REALLY!!! Just do one a day and they will be done in no time.LOOK GUYS! Alma has the potential to be the best!!! I NEED YOUR HELP. Quit tellin me your gonna do it and get it done.That is your home course and you need to slick it up.Concrete will be in the ground BEFORE the new baskets.But nothin is gettin done till those fairways are cleared out.I can't do it alone.Your Move!!! Next,I'm delivering the sponser packets for the Greens off tomorrow to the Mayor.I have two possable sponsers for the tourney(I want both)I'll handle the tourney sponsers.Start getting committments for the course.$100.00 for the signs,$50.00 for the basket.$200.00 for the practice basket.That's $2,900.00 That's our new baskets.GET COMMITTMENTS FOR SPONSERSHIP!!!We'll get the forms to you soon.Maybe tomorrow night.I'll call Evan tomorrow.Maybe he'll draw up something for hole sponsers for us real quick.LET'S NOT WAIT TILL THE LAST MINUTE FOR THIS.LET'S GET IT OVER WITH SO WE CAN ENJOY OUR NEW COURSE.

Hey Tom it might be our priority but its not like we have time every day to go down there because we have stuff to do to, so when we get the time we will. If you think its such a big deal then back off beacuse I know I might be 13 but since your the one puting the course together supposedly I think if you dont mind I think we and willie would like to help you design the other three holes IF you dont mind but get back to us tonight and tell me or willie what you think about that.THANKS

AND FURTHERMORE I DONT THINK THAT WILL BE A PROBLEM..............THANKS

Hey
I'm not sure what crawled in his head and laid meanie eggs, :Dbut I do not feel the same. While I have been very busy with spring break last week, and keeping my 5mth pregnant wife happy (by not spending so much time on disc golf) I realize this is our course and we need to be doing more. But, as you can probably geuss, when I say work day to 12-14 year olds, they say UHHHH I'm busy! But we are planning on going to Alma today and working and I will try to spend another day or two out there this week. But I'm not going to jeopardize going to the tournament this weekend by spending too much time at the course this week. :)
See you at the meeting tonight! Everyone try and make it out.

Listen here BUSH BOY!I'm not the only one who's had just about enough of your mouth little man.Tell me,Has Joey gotten on to you about the way you spoke to his employee last time you were there?Yeah!!! Be sure to be there tonight,I think it's time for that attitude adjustment. :mad:

Gave the Mayor a sponsership package yesterday.Supposed to give it to Allen Canning today.It would be way cool to see Popeye on the tourney discs.Cross your fingers. :cool:

OK folks,Time to start with Pre Registration.Info is at wafda.org.Mail me the pre reg at 2822 So Memphis Ft Smith 72903.Include your info.Division,PDGA #(If you have one)etc.(Make checks out to WAFDA)Spoke to Mayor Ballentine today.Camping the sat night of the tourney will be OK.(The nessessity of this is to be brought to your attention soon.I think)Anyhow.I've got alot to do and don't want to do it all in the last minute.Registrations will be posted at our web site as they come in.Let's get this thing rolling.

Is there a division for animals? :cool:

There is a fuzzy creature division.I suppose Furdogs fall into that catagory.Just make sure the owner(That's Marie to you Scott)picks up any messes they may leave behind.

with the new course layout there will be plenty of messes to be cleaned up. :D

This Alma thing is starting to sound pretty cool. :cool:

It's cool that the mayor is involved too. I might have to bring some Baby Ruths to float at the water park though. :D

Is there a cheap motel close by?

Arkansas hotel

At least Arkansas has modernized, Check out Oklahoma's 5 star resort, we had to close the door because some weirdo was comforting a sheep in there in quite a weird manner, we're not quite sure who he was but he kept on muttering something about having to putt twice :o

At a BOY! (Hold on there baby,Just one more minute) :D

thats just baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. :eek:

I think that's where Twoputt and his first wife spent their honeymoon. ;)

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~rajwar/base/PICS/outhouse.jpg
Hope it doesn't leak..... :o

I definately need a show of hands on the tourney,I also need a couple helpers.Anybody interested call me after 7:00 pm.Discs will be ordered monday.If you want one you MUST pre reg.otherwise you buy it seperately.Pre reg will end 1 week before tourney.Cut off for day of entry 9:00 am sat morning.Don't be late or i'll have Willie get a switch and beat ya!Seriously.Don't show up 2 minutes before tee time and expect to get a warm welcome.I'll be posting entries and divisions so everybody will know who's where and what's what.Must be 4 to make division.THAT'S FOUR.No exceptions,No Whiners.Oh BTW,My Doubles partner,Tommy Eddy. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

OK , The Tourney Discs have been ordered.The Am prizes have been ordered as well.I have some pre reg but would like to see a few more.(Remember Pre Reg gets the Disc)After that they are for sale.Pretty cool with Popeye on it.The ONLY one "EVER" made with Popeye.I've also ordered some plastic for the Shell Super Stop in Alma.Willie you can get your Special Ordered stuff in a couple days :cool:

Ok. Where is this place at? The boonies? :confused:.... Do I have to drive on 50 miles of dirt road through a bunch of switchbacks to get there? :(.... Where's the flyer? How long does it take to get there from Tulsa? Is there a cheap and sleazy motel close by where me and my woman can shack up? :cool:.....Does the water park allow naked fat guys? :cool:.....Can I pee in the pool? What if I play 1/2 a round and quit? Do I still cash? If so how many chickens will I get?.....If I beat some Arky butt will I end up in the woods tied to a tree? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif....Is there a place I can park my sheep Tubefluffer? :o

I need answers and I need answers NOW!!!! Tom! :D

Alma is approx 80 miles of( We'll rip you off at the toll booths) To I 40 West(That's a LEFT SCOTT)Then approx 60 miles to the Alma (Hwy 71)turnoff,Go North(That's left again)Two blocks to Column Lane,Turn Right.On your right hand side will be the Meadors Inn(Sleezy Motel)Then on the Left will be the entrance to the park.(You'll notice it says ENTRANCE).Flyers were handed out at The ChandlerStock event(That's OK,I don't remember much of that weekend myself :D)It is only about an Hour and a Half drive for someone doing 80 mph.Furdogs should take two,(Don't wanna spill anything)Fat Naked Guys are OK till the Police show up.Peeing is MANDATORY in the kiddie pool.If you play a half round and quit you do get a good razzing for being a wuss.Only the top 3rd get Chickens.Everybody else cooks them WHILE getting the razz.You may end up in a tree anyway.The Tubefluffer can be parked up Dave's canyon.. :D:D:D:D:DAny more questions?Feel free to ask.

The flyer for Alma Greens can be viewed at http://www.wafda.org - Don't worry about being hung from a tree, we reserve that special tradition for the Hell on the Border tournament in September, at Alma we usually drown Okies in the reservoir and your remains will be ate by huge catfish :D

Any Ladies going to be at this tournament?
A couple of us ladies from Fayetteville are thinking about coming to Alma to play.

I personally know of 3 ladies that play in this area, hopefully there are more than I realize, I don't know if they're into competitive tournament golf or not, we would enjoy having any ladies in the Alma Greens Tournament and by all means check out the new Alma course, it is SWEET! Don't forget that sunday of the tourney weekend will also be the Northwest Doubles Challenge. Pre-Register for the Alma Greens if you can
the first 50 pre-regs get the first ever (that we know of) disc with good ol' Popeye on the stamp - sure to become a collectible, Thanks to our sponsor Allen Canning (Popeye Spinach) Registration info can be found at www.wafda.org (http://www.wafda.org)

Since the NWA Doubles will be piggy-backing the Alma Greens, I hope that everyone plans on playing the doubles tourney. ARKANSAS - I am calling you out. Now, show up huge for two people who represent your state well (Pitch and Kyle)

Also, I will be taking pre-regs for the doubles at anytime during Saturday. If you don't know me, look for the Gateway cap.

Hey Pitch
We have 2 ladies coming to play in the Womens Division from Fayetteville. Yeah!! How much is it for Women?
I will contact you tonight to pre-reg.

I've always found them to be QUITE expensive! :o:o


and if your spouse plays, it really cuts down on the man's resources available for dic golf, but in your case it's entirely different. In your case, you're the better player. :o:o:D:D

AR wemon are much cheaper than OK wemon.That's why I likes em.Hot dates here include a trip to Sonic,Block Buster,Then home for the good stuff. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gifI was successful today in my quest for sponsership.Hit the $1,000 mark I was looking for.Shirts are being printed up tomorrow.Trophies also.We're covered.I will be doing the finish mowing myself tomorrow.It should be lookin all kinds of sweet by the weekend.If you havn't registered by mail then just wait till Friday or Sat morning.Extra Tourney Discs and Shirts will be sold the day of and added to the purse.Discs are DX Rocs'(Green with black print)Shirts are the same.Trophies as well.(The Discs are the only i've seen with Popeye on them.)Cool little wall hangers."UP DATE" Twisted just climbed aboard,Look for Rotan to be sending some of the good stuff for the weekend(Said there's gonna be some never seen before Twisted gear)Go Ro!!!

Mowed for 8 hrs straight today.Fairways are lookin great.Now if I could just get rid of this SUNBURN i'd be happy.More fine tuning tomorrow.STUMPS.Yuck!!!

Man I want to give you guys some big props on your WAFDA web site. That map function to find all the local courses is cool. :cool: Tulsa could use something like that. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Tom, how many pre-regs do you have for the Adv. Division?

I've got some adv. guys comin with me from tulsa..

Keldog,Fish and Heath were out today .(Thanks to Keldog for the plastic)I'll be giving it all away sat in the ring of fire.Looks like that could take a while.Rain is in the forcast for tonight.It should be enough to Green up the course a little.Oh Yeah!!! They mowed the Dam today.Looks super.I only found 3 discs.One belongs to this guy Willie :DThe other two I gave away hoping to get another obsessed with our sport.I thought for sure i'd find a couple dozen out there.Looks like those kids have picked the hillside clean.Oh well,Still looks great.One more day till tee off. :cool:

Treeshark and I are hitting the Alma course at 6:30 to 7:00 in the morning for a few hours. WORK not play!! Gonna clean up anything I can find that needs cleaning in the time I have. Chainsaw, rakes, clippers, fourwheeler, whatever it takes.

Also, if you didn't see it, there is a good write-up on the Tourney (FRONT PAGE) in the Alma Journal and in the Press Argus Courier of Crawford County. It has quotes from the mayor and general DG information. It takes up about a quarter of the page. Nice to see DG in the headlines and let people see what a positive thing it is. It also says something about an Alma (ex) teacher that started a disc golf club and really helped promote the course (no names though) :D:D

24 little hrs .Oh Yeah!!!I feel the buzz in the air.Or maybe that's in my head.I need coffee :D

Don't forget to eat your spinach before you go to bed tonight,
you'll need it tomorrow :D

Is there gonna be more than one Women's division? How much is the entry fee for the ladies?

Melissa, the tournament flyer is posted at www.wafda.org (http://www.wafda.org), I guess Pitch, Jr. will decide on if there is gonna be more than one women's div. depending on how many show up and how many per div. - his call as TD :), I personally hope that there will be more than one women's division!! We should get a few from Fayetteville and hopefully you'll bring some, no telling who else might show, We look forward to seeing ya'll there

Thanks, I guess I'll just leave here around six in the morning, show up around eight, and see what happens from there. I just hope it's worth my time/money. See ya in the morning!

Everybody good luck with the tournament. hope everything goes good and there is an awesome turnout. with pitch running everything it will be a good tournament.

:D

I hope you get to read this tonight,There are a few wemon that are going to be here.I even had a trophy made up for the division.Looks like we'll have a outstanding weekend.Right now i'm hanging with the family sucking the heads outta crawfish waiting on the shrimp.Life is good people.Next year I see a turnout that will be unreal(With Worlds being in the forecast this year and so much focus on it).I know with all the support we've had Alma will be a tourney we all can enjoy for years to come.Thank's ahead for everybodies support.I hope you have a great time.

Got it and I'll be there!!! Sweet Thanks! See you in the morning!!

I had a great time at the tourney. Great job, Tom. Had one of the worst rounds of my life first round, (+14), and one of my better ones second, (+4). Part of the game. I think there should be two rings of fire, though. One for Advanced and up, one for Intermediate and down, just to make things fair. Oh, yeah, I threw my shark into the water tower area.... :( :( :( I MISS IT!!!!!!!!!! :D

I had a great time today. I really like the course at Alma. Stacey, it's good to see you again, and good luck with the baby...can't wait to see you back on the course in October! I enjoyed meeting Amanda and Monica...you are great golfers and sweet people! Thanks Tom, for lowering the women's entry fee so we could all play together...that was very cool. And thanks for including a trophy for the ladies division.

As for John's suggestion - Maybe not two separate rings of fire, but at least one single round for each division...especially women and juniors. I'm pretty sure not one junior or woman won, but oh well, I guess I just need to be a better putter! Another suggestion would be for one person to not be allowed to win more than one or two times.

And congrats to Larry Gardner on your first sanctioned Open win!

so who won?,how much skins money was won?and who won it?don't tell me you let them Okie's win everything! :p

Skins? Now that's funny. Heard about those things before the tourney. Even heard top 4 scores would be play'n for 'em. Think it was an Urban Myth, or maybe it wasn't the top 4 expected.

speaking of skins, you wanna do some sometime today?

Had a super time. Always love being being able to play a tourney with my wife. Thanks to Tom and all the WAFDA guys and gals. The course looked great and really enjoyed the changes. Taking the course down by the lake was a great move. And mowing that hillside on the upper ledge made those holes slightly easier but MUCH, MUCH more enjoyable to play. Thanks to the Mayor and Allen Canning for the cool Popeye plastic, plaque and way cool ceramic mug. Can't wait to see next years Stamp-- (Popeye slinging plastic?).

TWISTED FLYER--very cool. Thanks for the added gear Mr. JOE ROTAN!!! Got one of the very cool Twisted shirts--NICE! Thanks to all involved with running a fun, smooth tourney. Great job.

Oh yeah, Good luck to everyone playing the Northwest Doubles today. Water no good, trees no good--Fairways and chains real good. :) :)

I enjoyed the tournament. I wish I could of played better. But I still had a great time. The course is awesome. I love it.
It was great playing with you Melissa. You are playing awesome and good-luck at Worlds.
I enjoyed meeting and playing with Monica and Amanda. Yes, very cool, Pitch to lower the entry fee for womens division so we all could play.

I will be back next year. Hopefully more women from NWA will come. And maybe some women from Little Rock and just more women entirely.

I am sorry I am going to miss Hell on the Border. But I am going to encourage some ladies to go from here. So hopefully there will be a womens field there.

Pitch and all his helpers, thanks for a great tournament.

I'm looking at the board for Alma Greens.1st Place Open went to Larry Gardner in a playoff against Coda Hatfield.(First sanctioned win)Congrats Larry.1st Open Masters to non other that ME in the same type of situation(Gotcha Tommy /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif)1st Advanced to Mr Heath Whitley with ties for 2nd with Justin Bougher and Adam Morrow 3rd place ties with Randal Reisner Jerry Stacey.(I do believe we split all those goodies up didn't we?)I'm so tired I can't hardly remember.1st Am looks like Lee Allen and 2nd going to Jared Strought.(Forgive me if i'm wrong but a couple figures got erased a little)Looks to be correct.Novice 1st went to Kevin Solik 2nd to Russell Ray .Women Melissa Stayce 1st Stacey Whitley and her partner :D2nd.Junior Dustin Watkins 1st and 2nd went to Alex Hoyle.Good job to everybody and thank you all for showing.Next year we know there will be so many more and are looking forward to it.43 showed and the total purse I think should be approx $2,000.Sorry about the Skins thing.I tried to scrape up an extra couple bucks for it but our Mayor needed to show th city council a little something so it went in that direction.It was last minute idea and I think I mentioned that it might happen.First place to Open was $300.00(Not bad for 6 players)1st to Open Masters $180.00 It really didn't have anything to do with the players who were top 4 scores.I really would have loved to give that money away.Next year look for a final 9 playoff and the skins to happen.If all the sponsers just double the money it'll be what i'm looking for.Alma will be a B Tier someday.Thanks everyone,Glad you enjoyed the new layout.Concrete and Alternates will be in place by then.Come on back and see us anytime.We'll keep it up for you to enjoy.Minis are going to be happening more often and i'll get a chance to practice once in a while now(Thank God!)See Ya!!!

Thanks everyone who showed up and played. Next year we will be back up to a two day event.

Good job,Had a blast playing today.Next year we may have another two day Greens.The fields will be a little more packed i'm sure of it.Thanks Jason and Kyle for everything.

Last weekend was awesome!! We appreciate everyone that helped out and came out to play, I'd like to give a special BIG THANKS to Shawna Williams for helping out with registration, score cards and so much more. C tier turnout with B tier pay out, excellent job Pitch!!

As for Alma Willie winding up on the leader card when we were tied and I registered 1st, that'll have to be decided at the next PDGA board of directors meeting :D

My leader card placement was all thanks to the beautiful young lady you were thanking in the first part of your post. I tried to get a seperate card for just me and you head to head but couldn't pull it off. We will get plenty more chances on other days. Maybe Worlds!!!!

Yes I did get an invite and I am going to be trying my best to get there for it. Baby is due the 11th, that is plenty of recovery time before the tourney starts!!! :D Seriously though I am going to try real hard to pull this one out of my magic hat. How's the trip chances looking for you Evan? Hope to see you there.

Any idea when the tournament will be updated on the PDGA tour site?

I finally got the info needed to send in the results for the tourney.I'll be doing this tonight.In the move some things were misplaced.I did contact the PDGA just a day or so after the weekend of the event explaining the lost TDs' package.They've been so busy that last night was the quickest response.It'll get done tonight.Sorry about the delay.

Forgot to mention,Scores have officially observed by PDGA.TD report was said to be great.(That ain't no picnic)Look for the tourney to be recorded soon and on the site.(Sorry it took so long,Lack of communication and missing files :confused:)Next time there shouldn't be any moving involved.(Hope not.That sucked) :D
