Ams are expected to fill by this weekend.
Pros will not be far behind.

The 2006 VO is a United States Amateur Disc Golf Championship Qualifying event. Very few spots left and the price goes up May 1st.

Details at : The Grange (http://www.grangediscgolf.com)

Can we get a little more info on doubles? Format? Courses used etc?

Thanks!

Biscoe posted this info in the VA disc golf thread - I'm not sure the entry fees or wha not, but I do remember that ams are playing sunny, adv. ar at the dark side, and pros are at Hawk Hollow.

One round will be best shot and one round will be best score.

Play open and play Hawk Hollow!

But then again there is that comment that Biscoe made last weekend.........

Details at : The Grange (http://www.grangediscgolf.com)



This is just a hunch, but you may be able to find details at the Grange website as Bryan has indicated. Just a wild guess though. Give it a try.

Bryan,
I'm currently registered in Rec. Would it cause too much trouble to move me up to Intermediate? I can get the difference in the mail before the first if you let me know.

Thanks,
Rick

site only has price for divisions for doubles, not what courses what divisions are playing and what format, etc.

I think that's Ted's call and he may not have decided on that yet. He'll probably post it here soon.

Or not. He moved to New York.

Dude, I know that. And they have internet in NY, I think.

in some cities, they do.

They have internet here in New York CIty.

In fact, we have everything! (except disc golf).
I, however, am somewhat internet challanged of late.

Bryan Law is doing a great job getting everyone set for the tournament.

The Doubles format has been stated:

Pros- HH
Adv- Darkside
Am/Rec- Sunnyside

Both rounds. 1st round- Best score, 2nd round-best shot.

All other info is at website.

I may be making Grange apperance this weekend.

Thanks for the 411, my doubs partner will be very pleased.

See, I told y'all The Kid would come through!

Ted, I'm not playing and plan on being there all weekend if you want to play in the tourney.

Who is your partner Scweb?

The Doubles format has been stated:

Pros- HH

So...it says on the website that there is mixed doubles? is that the am/rec division that you speak of?? Sarah and I would like to play, but don't know what division to sign up in...

SIncerely...
One confused juber.

I meant Schweb.

His partner is Mike Moser.

Thats one hell of a dubs team. JJ and CLee beware.

The AM Divisions of the 2006 Virginia Open are Sold Out!

PRO slots are filling fast.

register online at www.grangediscgolf.com (http://www.grangediscgolf.com) .

The price goes up May 1st!

The mixed doulbes in not sanctioned. It is usually a very casual division. All teams sign up at the Am/Rec price.
Payout tends to be deep.

Mixed doubles is slated to play the Sunnyside twice with the AM/rec divisions.

To all the Ams who did not get in:

You can still sign up on waiting list
You can still play in Pro division

This tournament has much more to it that just Disc Golf.
The camping, tiki golf and music make for a great Memorial Day Weekend.

Many Ams played in the Pro ranks last year and had a great time. It also is a great experiance to play with the best players (at least for one round)

True that homie,and if you were to go off everyones ratings in the Open div,i cashed and made a few dollars over my entry fee as an AM in the said divison last year. :p

Deeeeeeeeeeep pay-outs rock! :D

those am spots sold out fast

Hmm did you get my check??? Is there a list posted somewhere??????

Go to the first post on page 1 and there is a link to the Grange website. There is a registrant list and you are on it.

will there be a list of doubles teams posted?

Thanks Mike :D

So how do people get on the waiting list?I don't see a e-mail address anywhere.Do people intrested in getting on it need to pay and then wait?????

Shouldn't the contact on the PDGA be Brian Law,not Ted??

Is mixed dubs registration already closed? I tried to pre-reg Kelly & me today on grangediscgolf.com & couldn't. :(

From the grangediscgolf.com web site main page:

Problems registering or other info contact: admin@grangediscgolf.com

or you can email me directly at: gblaw65@yahoo.com

Either will work fine for requesting to be on the Am or soon to be Pro waiting list(s).

Online registration technical problem with the doubes. They are fine now. The online registration for doubles will go until May 21. Additional registrations will be taken the day of.

Thanks

Thanx, Bryan. Kelly & I are now registered & paid.

Thank- you

I see 4 or 5 ADV. players that are baggin hard,move up and let some real AMs in baggers! :eek:

I'm so glad to be back online with my new pc and I'm soooooo ready for the VO!!!! :D

I know you're intimidated by my gargantuan 908 rating, but I will try not to whoop up too bad!

I'm speaking for friends about friends!

It's not cool to take spots from true AM's when your rating is 950-960ish!
That's why it's called ROOKIE! :eek:

If you will be at the VA open and have a digital camera and have some photo experience, please contact me for a chance at getting some of your work published.

This is serious and only serious people should contact me.

Either do it via PM or email - robertleonard01@yahoo.com

Anyone want to fly me out there and pay for my entrance fee? Anything I make I'll give back to you :) Even if I win it somehow.

Aren't you Sophomore Pro Girlie? :D

Mitch, I can't do it... but I do know of a wealthy philanthropist in the Boulder area that might be interested in funding your venture. I don't have his number, but you can probably look him up in your phone book under Haywood Jablowme.

Awww Whorley, you flatter me. ;)

Thankfully, I have until Worlds to prove myself as a Rookie. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :o:D

Registration for the 2006 Virginia Open has ended.

ended? :( :mad:


I sent an email to get on the wait list.

Current Pro Waiting List for the 2006 VA Open (5/11/06:11:58AM)

1. Chris Lee
2. Tommy Donnelson
3. Wayne-O Brown
4. Luke Butch
5. Brady Smith

The Am waiting list is well over 10 spots. The likely-hood of getting in from that list is now essentially nill. <font color="red"> BUT</font> , If you were hoping to play in the 2006 VA Open and didn't get registered in time, please send me an email and let me know. I'll compile these so that you get included in the information we send out for next years tournament.

You pro mullets!!! Get your money in quicker!!! Or just have the TD add a hole or two...that's how I got into this coming weekends B-Tier in Colorado...Marsha and I were 10th and 11th on the waiting list, along with Joe Klosky and his fiance Shannon, and another pro Tom Hamilton. Hard to turn away pros and women!
But it is the grange, you pros should know better! :)

added holes suck.

Why was the AM field limited to 88? Just curious.

Correction to the 2006 VA Open Pro waiting list:

Brady Smith at # 5 was incorrect. He registered a long time ago. Since the last post Bill Vaughn signed up. Here's the new list as of (05/11/06 - 2:33PM)

1. Chris Lee
2. Tommy Donnelson
3. Wayne-O Brown
4. Luke Butch
5. Bill Vaughn

Added holes do suck, indeed. It makes it more difficult for tournament staff to provide the appropriate level of service to those who were prudent enough to register ahead of time. It makes for longer rounds not only because of more holes, but because of larger groups.

So heed John's word and don't suck.

I was just kidding, I can't stand added holes in general because they aren't good holes (typically) and make the rounds that much longer. The only reason I like them is for this coming weekend because adding holes let me into the event because I'm a pre-reg slacker.

Glow Golf in two weeks! I can't wait. :D:cool:/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

to get in off the wait list

See, I told y'all The Kid would come through!

Ted, I'm not playing and plan on being there all weekend if you want to play in the tourney.



Ted - Just to clarify, I will be there all weekend. If you want to play, I will be the non-playing official.

Thanks Mike. Good news.

Played the Darkside a few weeks ago, I forgot how painful being off on your timing can be.

Special Thanks to Bryan Law for stepping up.
Ben Bartlett for pulling the courses together (they look great)
And Mike Trapasso for building The Grange 10 years ago and creating the Tournament/Music Festivel experiance.

The bands are going to be great again, Smile is reported to Headline Sunday night again.

The sponsor Hoodie looks great and will go fast. If you want one you should register as a sponsor on the website.

The menu is finalized and the outdoor kitchen will be in full swing. All you need in BYOB.

Campgroud space has been expanded to give everyone more space. Camping is along Hole 1 for everyone. Please do not camp in the Parking lot as that is for Daily Players.

This is going to be fun.............

Is there going to be time for guest musicians? I mean, not that I know any personally or anything....

smille is playing, light show, party...man...could be trouble..can someone get that couch ready for me again.

i got you ronnie .

Sponsorships are still available!!

$75 Hole Sponsorships
(The black hoodie with the gold embroidered Grange logo is SWEET! Not to mention the INNColor Grange themed limited edition disc that's also included at the $75 dollar donation level)

Program Ads:
(Programs will be distributed in everyone's player's pack,
I need to receive the text of the ad by this Saturday)
$50 donation gets a half-page ad to promote your club, course, tournament, etc.
$75 donation gets a full page

($25 off if you place an ad in conjunction with your hole sponsorship.)

We will also be very grateful to anyone who wants to show their support by donating merchandise for use as CTP prizes.

Don't forget to register for Tiki madness as soon as you get to The Grange. Seeding for this event is by order of registration. Final- four cash payout. Paying only four? What if 150 people pay $10 to play and we only pay four? Sounds like a sweet payout to me!

Email me at admin@grangediscgolf.com if you are interested in donating for ad space in the program. Hole sponsorships can be purchased online at www.grangediscgolf.com (http://www.grangediscgolf.com) .

Email me at admin@grangediscgolf.com if you are interested in donating for ad space in the program. Hole sponsorships can be purchased online at www.grangediscgolf.com (http://www.grangediscgolf.com) .


Just sent in a hole sponsorship from me and Mitch. Mitch wants to know if the hole can be on the Darkside and the tee sign can say "Mitch's favorite course ever" or something like that... he's a silly one.

Sorry we can't make the tournament this year. The Grange holds a special place in both of our hearts and we will miss it dearly. Derek will have to do triple the partying to make up for me and Mitch not being there! ;)

I will help Derek with the Partying Contribution.

Will there be hot dogs on the grill???



Will the grill work?
Will I be able to stay up for night golf?
Will Leo's mini-bike be fixed?

These and other questions to be answered in 10 days.

i believe ryan is planning a full menu once again.

leo's bike is already fixed- merely a bent brake pedal. my original trail 90 survived many similar incidents.

I'll be bringing up some ctp discs for ya'll. Can't wait for my first weekend at the Grange!

First the business:

Two pro spots came open and I am moving Chris Lee and Tommy Donelson off of the waiting list. Can someone tell me how to get in touch with Chris and Tommy or let them know to contact me. All of my info is further down toward the middle of this post.

The pro waiting list as of these changes is:

1. Wayne-O Brown
2. Luke Butch
3. Bill Vaughn
4. Dean Pfeifer
5. Shawn Groton
6. Jeff Kerns

Now on to other matters...

Here's the text of an email I sent to everyone registered for the VA Open that I had an email for. A few came back undeliverable so If I have your email and you didn't get this you're probably one of them. Except for Biscoe. I have your email but noticed that I didn't type it in. Sorry about that.

The menu for the Two Days in May Cafe is at the bottom.

as did I

also texas hold 'em at my place- friday night (in deference to tiki MADNESS). pm me for info.

Cool. Last time I was there, the mini-bike had carburettor problems. Glad to hear it's been fixed.

And yeah, what Bryan and The Kid said. Behave AND have a good time!

Triple the partying? Hanging with Schweb? It's like my dreams (or nightmares) coming true. :)

Nightmares.......definitely

To people camping at the VA Open:

The avenue between the pool and the house will be open so that you can get to your campsites. Mike will have the areas marked that are not to be driven on.

As you may see, I wrote a full article for the front of PDGA.com regarding the crosstown. I will be doing the same for this tournament!

Kris Henseler was able to get some of his photographs on the front page and you can too. I still have not had anyone step up and be willing to take some photos. All you have to do is take about 20 -30 and email them to me and you have pics on the PDGA website!

Please contact me if you are interested

robertleonard01@yahoo.com

I'll be there and I own a digital camera. I'm playing AM. Will your article be worhty of AM images?

I am a 935 registered AM who is playing doubles with a 959 registered PRO who hasn't cashed in years. Can we play AM doubles?? Need to know soon. Thanks,

Jesse

no - the event is sancitoned and if his rating is above 955 and he has cashed, he can't play am

just a little disapointed that the am doubles are not best shot for both round and that the advanced division is only playing the darkside......i guess i live in the past like last year when it was best shot both rounds one from the sunny one from the dark.....but its the grange and it will be fun anyways

My 959 registered open partner has never cashed. Does this make a difference?

if he is registered with the PDGA as a pro, then he is a pro. If he is registered as am and is playing pro this weekend, then he is an am

Hmmm, didn't know that MTL. I'm a 945 rated player who has never cashed in pro. But since I registered with the PDGA this year as a pro, I'm pro no matter what?

(If I have options for dubs, I'm gonna take 'em)

Derek, the key is to register as an AM, and save a few bucks. Then play what you want. But once you take cash, it's all over.

BTW, anyone still need a dubs partner????? I have never taken cash so can play either. I'd prefer to play AM.

derek is eligible to play am because he is rated sub-955, the good doctor is not because his rating is above 955 even though both carry pro cards.

Thanks Biscoe. I didn't know if DaDR never cashing as a PRO would change anything.

Jesse

he can also request the competition director for a return to am status although the time frame is too short for it to be a help next weekend.

pros get to play at hawk hollow anyway so you guys should want to play pro. ;) i think hoffman is the only c-ville area guy who has ever been there.

Well, I guess Hoffman won't be the only C-ville golfer to play Hawk Hollow after this coming weekend. Now I just have to figure out how not to cash so I can play AM Sunday and Monday ;) Thanks again.

Jesse

pros get to play at hawk hollow anyway so you guys should want to play pro. ;)



fo' REAL!!!

It stinx that Pro Mixed is playing Sunnyside. I guess I'll just have to skip work & play One & Done to get my HH fix!

Pro mixed? I thought it was only mixed. If I wanted to play doubles I would play mixed just to get to practice the Grange. I would probably play Pro doubles if it was at the Grange. I have no desire to go spend one whole day at Hawk Hollow when i have two more days of golf in front of me. I'm old and the body can't take it. I have heard others say this also.

Mixed is unsanctioned, so everybody's a pro. If Kelly decides to retire, you can put on your skirt & make a run with me. ;)

Then go exercise for a week, chubs.

i've heard many people say the opposite and are psyched to play HH...

chris, i thought you were supposed to have been retired by now anyway?

did you retire from Golden Monkey, Ronnie??

Consider it if not...

you think i need to retire?

i thought a round 2 was needed...

How does the back of your head feel???

pros get to play at hawk hollow anyway so you guys should want to play pro. ;)



fo' REAL!!!

Any other decision would be CRAZY

How does the back of your head feel???

got Lime?

keep the limes away from me next weekend.

pros get to play at hawk hollow anyway so you guys should want to play pro. ;) i think hoffman is the only c-ville area guy who has ever been there.



Man...I wanna play HH!!!

Chris - Are you trying to hedge in on my grumpy old man persona? I thought I had that wrapped up.

I think Chris has more of the "whiney" old man persona... :eek: :D

I miss Marsha

Yeah, maybe so. But I think I'm grumpier. And I know I'm older.

come play Kiss the Sky... your old man body can totally handle it. :D

I was playing with Billy Crump at the Crosstown when he dropped out. He said he was skipping Kingsport and the Grange. Has anyone heard otherwise? He is still on the list.

I am calling him right now.

he is playing as of right now, he is geTTIng adjusted by the Chiropractor in an hour.

Nice. He needed some adjustment.

IMHO,if you fail to get in your division before it fills,then opt to play a different division,the waiting list shouldn't be an option for you.
Alot of different variables come out of this arrangement,some good some bad,just depends on what side of the fence your on!

There is a good chance that I will have to drop out of the tournament (pro side) as I hurt my back Tuesday and it is not looking any better this morning (2 days later). I plan on going to the doctor today but very likely will have to drop from the tournament tomorrow. :( BTW who should I contact if I need to drop out?

Nice. He needed some adjustment.

He got adjusted and is feeling good, he will be there, Friday.

FYI...

Deaf Nationals 2006 will be held in Paw Paw this July... the TD's are looking for donated new merch (discs, gear, golf bags, clothing, hats, etc.) and money to help make their event a success. There will be a donation box at The Grange, so if you can part with a disc you'll never throw, or a hat you'll never wear, it sure would be appreciated. Thanks! :cool:

Oh, and WOOOT WOOOOOOT PARTY AT THE GRANGE BAAYYYYYYYYBEEEEEEEEEE!! :D

Well I got in
Is anyone leaving from Raleigh on Saturday, I'm trying to carpool
Also, do you think there will be anytime to play the Grange courses either between or after doubles on Sat? I have never played them and dont want to play totally blind

you might be bale to get a quick non putting round on the sunny side on the lunch break - but probably not the dark side - its the tougher of the two courses.

You could probably get the darkside round in afterwards, but I don't think you could both rounds in afterwards.

Ciome up really early saturday and play doubles at hawk hollow!

My advice would be play the Dark Side fore sure,but atleast walk 2-9 on the sunny side!

My advice would be play the Dark Side fore sure,but atleast walk 2-9 on the sunny side!

and while you walk the dark side remember, skinner shot a 41.

you just need to see 17 on the sunny

what happened to you real jeff?

im still real

The car and coolers are loaded, and I'm heading out of Rocky Town around 3:30ish today. Then around dark I hope to be loaded myself. :D I'm hoping to get a round in on each corse tomorrow while NOT playing dubs. Early morning on the Sunnyside and late afternoon on the Darkside is the plan. Everyone travel safe.

whats the word on those SWEEEEEEET INNcolor discs?

http://www.innovadiscs.com/cfr/2005/2daysInMay.jpg

FRIGGGGGGIN SWEET!!!!

If there is any way I could order one I would love to buy one.

RIGHT
THAT DISC IS HOT
HOW MANY ARE THERE
AND WHAT ARE THEY

Nice to see you're still above-ground, Jason. I look forward to maybe playing with u (and definitely whipping your a*&) again this year! :D

yup im still alive
should be up there, hopefully before dark on saturday night

The darkside is easy to play blind...I did and shot a 48. :-D Whooped up on Moser then. As long as you can throw an accurate 300 foot buzzz/roc shot, you're golden.
:-D

A 340 flat teebird on what I think are 14, 15, and 16 will help too, though I may be off on 14 and 15....16 you'll want to hyzer pretty strong at the end. And if you're Skinner, 16 is an easy park hole :) Along with most of the rest of the course. next time I don't want to see him miss those two easy putts in a row.

WORD! I'm playing mixed dubs 2morrow a.m. & (if my knee feels good) will be Tiki-ing all night. Cya then, my friend!

what time do doubles start tomorrow at HH???

10?

There will be doubles, Lime Boy

It is 4:55 a.m., I am rollin out, see you buncha mullets in a few hours.

V .O . is the place to go.

I'm heading to the Grange now but I have decided that I will not be playing in the tournament as my back is still sore :(
I am pre reged on the pro side so my loss could be your gain another pro spot just opened up for someone. :cool:

Is a Golden Monkey similar to a MH Golden Shower?

Mrs. Schweb here !! I am looking for some scores from day 2? :confused:

Mike Morser was 1st in a playoff with LL

Mike Moser won a playoff against Larry Leonard. Kelly Washburn won Masters.

and what did bagger Hysell do?

What a Great time.

Moser 199
Leonard 199
Craigger 200
Hofmann 200
Cracken 202
Schweb 203

What can i say, fun golf, hot tub, noisey chickens, tiki, pacman,

And number 1 it never seems to amaze me out how great discgolfers are. They know how to have fun, its great when someone your camping next to just offers you food, shares drinks, helps your game, and on courses like those you need all the moral support you can get

VERY good time, thanks crew

Oh yeah and INVASION

What a FANTASTIC weekend. That's what disc golf "community" is all about!!!

Thank you Mike, Bryan, Ted, and all the volunteers (except Mook D, for taking $500 out of my pocket).

Now, to rest . . .

Mook D (http://www.sharkysshots.com/albums/userpics/10002/normal_vaopen20060100.JPG) was so modest when he won :D

Slide show! (http://www.sharkysshots.com/displayimage.php?album=46&pid=2747&slideshow=5000)

I know a lot of you were interested & I spaced them both days, so the Grange half-price special on STAR Gremlins will be extended for another week. Both stamps are available (AMC Gremlin & Ring of Gremlins) 173-175g, as well as some sweet WI-dyes,

If you set foot onto the Grange this weekend, $15 (white) or $20 (dyed), shipping included. PM me if you want to take advantage of this INSANE deal!

Good to see JG's giant purple pimp hat is alive and well :)

a hollow victory

Final scores????????????

Yeah, that would be cool

Great Pics Sharky.

I had a great time at The Grange and was glad to cash in my first VA singles tournament. Thanks to the staff for an all around great event. Congrats to all the winners. Jeb you have now reached super bagger status, good shooting /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Is Linda Fowler John's mom? He said he was from there and I got to play with him and listen to his stories about the Grange.

Linda is John's mom.

Ok cool. :cool:

Also I now can comprehend how ridiculous a 41 on the Darkside is. I shot a 51 and felt good about it. If you don't pure the fairway, you're making a 4 at least.

I want to thank everyone that had anything to do with the VA Open.

I had a great time. I will definitely be staying at the Grange next year.

Quote of the weekend "You are going to clean that up!!!" That was an order, not a question.

Don't puke in Kirks truck - it sucks.

And definitely don't puke in the community corvette

(except Mook D, for taking $500 out of my pocket).




It's okay, Ray. The OB pool gave you the shot at the $500 to begin with. :) But I'm glad to see you went on to better things.

Seriously, the Grange was phenominal. Tiki, ringtoss, two sick sick courses, perfect weather, Camp Esther, hearing the word "Bayville" more than the words "disc golf", hold'em, the SHOWER!!!, jamming on Sunday night....
To EVERYONE involved, thank you.

Thanks to all those who heeded Mike's orders to stop throwing cigs on the ground. Let's see if we can contain even more trash next year.

Other than one or two "bad vibe" incidents everyone behaved incredibly well. No one acted up during the tournament proper. I'm sure the Trapasso's and their neighbours appreciated the good behaviour.

As always, I look forward to my next visit to The Grange.

today's trivia question:
what do the dates november 6,2004 and april 5, 2006 have in common.

pm me the correct answer along with your address and i'll send you a prize. :D

I don't think it was the OB pool that gave me the shot, it was a ****-fool yankee taking an ill-advised shot over it. :eek:

It was a pleasure meeting you (and playing with you twice), Fats. Seeya soon. (Just leave that squeezebox at home next year.) :D

Final Scores Are Posted.

It's worth repeating that Bryan Law did a top notch job of handling the business end of the tournament. His attention to detail made it easier for the rest of us helping out. Kudos to Bryan and a thank you to his family for making the necessary sacrifices.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THOSE ARE THE DATES I ACED WITH MY WASP WITH - WOHOO JOHN BISCOE - YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!

(Just leave that squeezebox at home next year.) :D



Thanks goes out to the accordian guy for getting that stupid song "I Saw The Sign" stuck in my head for the past few days.

if the round ratings don't change much it appears i accomplished my secondary goal for the weekend. :D;)

I've been told that there is now a song called "Chris Hysell". Was someone pulling my leg?

Did you ace at the Grange?

Chris had the first Grange ace and also aced #9 on the Darkside this weekend.

If there isn't a song, maybe there should be.

Cashing EpRoG, where have you been? I have aced at the Grange a few times. Give Mike a few beers and ask him.

Wasn't GoRpE a video game?

Oh the stuff of legends.

The first time I met Mike Trappasso was when I played the Grange for the first time. I kept asking him "has this hole been aced yet?" I'm certain I was annoying as heII since no one had ever aced there. It only took 11 holes to get an ace.

A few years later he mentioned that someone needed to ace #9, the signature hole. I did it for him so he could sleep at night.

I aim to please.

So Mike August, what do you think about the forehand roller on #3 that missed the pole by inches? Legendary.

It will be added to my mental record of all-time legendary disc golf shots.

And if you are still taking requests, I want to see an ace on Hole #4 at New Quarter. I've come close a couple of times, but you should be able to walk up and do it on command.

Chris,

#3 on Sunnyside or Darkside?

Chris,

#3 on Sunnyside or Darkside?



Sunnyside Captain.

He can't reach either of them, in the air. :o

Snoop,

Those who weren't there shouldn't throw stones at old Hysell's.

Kirk

Forehand-Roller park-shot on #3 is SWEET. :cool:
Only old guys in expensive Chevrolets can pull that one off.

OOPS! Per Innova, I have to charge at least $16 for the CFRs, so sorry for the "bait & switch", but the new price is $16 white or $20 dyed thru next week.

finally getting a chance to catch-up and post here...

first of all a big thanks again to mr. biscoe for his and deanna's hospitality every year!!!

thanks to mike trapasso at the grange for letting us play disc golf in his backyard,and john biscoe for letting us play disc golf in his backyard

it sure must be nice to have that big of a backyard :D

thanks to bryan law,mike bonday,mike august,ted z and others for allowing me to help staff,score and hand out prizes to the players that cashed,won ctp's or won the "lucky loser" goodies...as it is always great to see everyone's smiling faces when they come up to the stage


it was great seeing schweberger again along with will lewis and alot of my other "east coast" friends at this event which continues to be a highlight of my yearly tournaments....it is the only event i have been to no matter where in the country i have lived(florida,arizona and now georgia)...something even the great man mittenz can't say anymore :eek:

see everyone next time!

keith

Thanks goes out to the accordian guy for getting that stupid song "I Saw The Sign" stuck in my head for the past few days.



My pleasure. Just wait until some of the other bad covers I plan to unleash at Paw Paw. I'm thinkin' Bel Biv Devoe.

Maybe you can do the Svenge Brothers Greatest Hits :o

Smack it up, flip it up, rub it down........oh no! :D

Fats is gonna do me???

That just doesn't sound right on any level.

Just say NO to Bell Biv Devoe.

How about some Biggie?

How bout the Oscar Meyer Weener song?! :D

I'd give that one a ten, Dick...the lyrics are smokin, and the beat is easy to dance to.
