I know it's a little late, but where's a good place to camp?

South Bend KOA
Potato Creek State Park
Elkhart County Fair Grounds

Hey, if you just realized you are free this weekend you can still register for the Michiana Open Friday night before the players' meeting. Tournament staff will be at the host hotel from 6pm - 8:30pm to take late registrations.

Camping options are filling up but I checked with Elkhart County Fairgrounds and they have ten camping available for $10 a night which includes showers. 574-533-3247.

Mini Mountain is nice and not too far out of town. I think it is on Route 20? You can find it by googling it, I'm sure.

A few years ago Jon and I spent two cold, fall weekends there designing an 18 hole course. It would have been so cool too, because they have golf carts for rent. They ultimately decided to spend their money improving the east end camp sites so they could sell the place and buy a camp out west.

I hope that all worked out for them. They are/were really nice people.

Qualifying rounds from Saturday at Ox Bow:

Barry Schultz (-14)
Doug Chilcote (-12)
Matt Blakely (-11)
Brad Hammock (-10)*
*won playoff over Don Houseman

Above players automatically entered in "J-Bird Discs $1,000 Winners-Take-All Best Shot Final Nine" and will draw for their partners on Sunday.

Showcase will begin Sunday afternoon at Rum Village following conclusion of final round.

Final 9 Best Shot Skins

Yes it was sweet to watch!!

Unfortunately I slightly rolled my ankle that I had surgery on this past October on some rough areas of Ox Bow during the 3rd round. It was minor but enough for me to pull out and DNF. Not like my game was getting better either that round hehe. That was my first ever dnf and I hated it very much. So I dunked my ankle in my cooler of ice for 20 minutes and took some Motrin. Then I walked it off awhile and supported my buddy Larry in the final 9. It was amazing. I remember one hole they played 10's tee to 12's basket at Rum Village Park. Just nutz!!

Believe it or not Larry held his own. They did take a few of his drives and a few of his approaches. Very impressive final 9. WISCONSIN REPRESENT!!!

Great tournament!! We're come again. Now for those disc golfers who didn't go and were sitting at home get off your butts next year and go!!!!! This had a very low turnout for an A tier event. Allot of people missed out on a sweet event!!

Thanks again to Jason Samuel and his staff for putting up a excellent event!!

Josh

Nice win yourself Mr. Lindsley. ;)

Why thank you Tanner! :)
