my favorite event all year



How many "favorite" events do you have?

I've counted at least 3 now that you have posted just in the last month. Can you even list them???

Points bonanza, VTI, and..............Cha-ching-and-zing? Can't forget knappy brand events, that's his all time favorite event too, all of them.

Nice sig. Might bring some Fakeness to at least 2 (Sugaw, Ren)

Favorite PDGA - Points Bonanza
Favorite Non-PDGA - VTI

I can't believe ppl are givin me chit for saying something positive - proof that it's not me like ppl think

Not givin' you #$*&$! for your positive remarks...just your repetitive ones.

Is the Web getting played?

The Web probably will not be played in the Points Bonanza. It is not ready for tournament action. It will most likely be used for Friday Doubles before the Charlotte Open in October.

Alrighty then.....the Points Bonanza kicks off one month from yesterday. www.CharlotteDGC.com (http://www.CharlotteDGC.com) has been updated with all the tournament information you need including a flyer.

Word to the wise: We came close to filling last year (daily attendance: 64, 67, 81, 78 out of 90 spots max). There has been a swell of interest in DG in Charlotte in the last year (for example 32 at Ironman last year, 50 this year). So, don't take the chance of missing out - pre-register early!

Really nice use of ...... Mike, NOT :p

I'm getting ready. I think it's time for a win! :eek:
Yeah, I said it. My 1st win in the semi-old guy pro division at the Points Banana.....Yes, this year ;)

OK, that's all for the positive reinforcement, at least for now :D

Next Week!!!

26/26/34/31 .... need more than that.

Any way to hold 2 adv spots for Renny and posibly Sugaw? We'll be there with money in hand Satuay morning. Spots would be for Rodney Gilmore-#10891 and Chad Collins-not sure of his PDGA #. Thanks in advance.

Hi Rodney, We'll get your names on the pre-reg list.
But, the only way to secure your spots and ensure that others do not
take your spots by signing up with money in hand is to send in money.
At this point I would suggest PayPal - you can use a credit card. It is easy.
It will cost you $1 per day extra for fees, but that will
beat the money wasted by making the trip from Burlington only to find
out that the tournament is full. Or....you can take that chance.

Man Unit is representing! SNAP!!!

5 more days! :) :) :) :) :)

hahaha, Yes!!! PB is a must play for sure !!!
Can't wait!!!

T-18.5 hours 'til tee time at Reedy!

Almost time!

Is anyone from Greenville, NC or Raleigh going to points Bonanza? I'm moving this weekend and only got a truck going one-way and will need a ride back. If you're not going all the way to Greenville, Raleigh would be good enough.

If anyone you know is going, i've got a place for you to stay in Charlotte and i'll pay for your gas. It's still cheaper than renting a car or driving the truck back at eighty cents a mile.

252-412-7357 is my cell.

Congrats Bill Yandell! First win?

1st win for R Kelly as a pro!
PB @ Hornets Nest- 1st Pro Masters! :D:D

You are welcome anytime. Looks like MTL beat you out for the title of "Mr. Negativity", sorry buddy. I also enjoyed the brownie for breakfast this morning. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I believe LL finished right after me! :o
Nice 360 on 15......Hilarious! :D

Talking about MaTT King maybe? Finished 2nd Advanced Saturday at Renny, been playing a little over a year, the first time he had ever seen Renny..... Not too shabby MaTT. :cool:

RD, please refer to your MaTT King, as MaTT King II. That's how we did in the QC. We have a veteran discer by the same name. Kind of like the Donnie Murphy dillemma for Asheville/High Point. Being second isn't really that bad.

Otay, Buckwheat. Or MKII maybe....... :D

Nice work MaTT !



Obviously NOT talking about me.



He's talking about Matt Smith. Who won overall?

Prolly Jo-Jo.

Nice work MaTT !



Obviously NOT talking about me.

So how bout Libby whooping up on Man Unit's top player! :o They may want to back out of the MSDGC TTeam Competition.

Have disc, will try golf
Loyal players participating in little-publicized sport
EMILY A. BENTON
[email protected]
Even in the shade of Reedy Creek Park's trees on Thursday, the heat rose into the high 80s. But with baseball caps, shorts and sunglasses, nearly 75 people gathered after skipping work.

That afternoon kicked off Point Bonanza 2006, a four-day, disc-golf tournament.

The players remain dedicated to this little-publicized sport after seven years of this local tournament. Some have been playing disc golf for more than 25 years.

The rules of the game are tricky, but follow the basics of golf -- except that disc golf doesn't need a mowed course and players aim for a cagelike chain basket instead of a golf hole.

Alan Beaver, Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) state coordinator, said it takes a lot of practice to become a skillful disc thrower. But after nailing down the art of it, he said, disc golf is just as much a mental game as a physical one.

Beaver practices every day in his back yard, working only a few feet from his target. The sport measures in feet instead of yards. Players get 30 seconds to make their throw, according to the PDGA rule book. It's easier to throw 300 feet than hit a closer target, Beaver said.

"Accuracy is a premium in this sport," he said.

Beaver joined a group of UNC Charlotte students who started playing on campus in the 1970s. He moved to the area in 1976, got a job with Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation in 1979, and soon created an unofficial disc-golf course in Latta Park.

The first regulation disc-golf course in Charlotte opened at Reedy Creek Park in 1990. It has 18 holes that wind around trees, a few hills, ravines and the creek. Beaver said the park is perfect terrain for disc golf, which rewards aiming at targets in short but challenging distances.

The county's parks now have six such courses.

This weekend's four-day tournament, which ends today, is unlike any in the country, Beaver said. Most tourneys are shorter and more spread out. The Points Bonanza uses four parks in Mecklenburg County: Reedy Creek, Hornets Nest, Renaissance and Sugar Creek.

It's another chance for players to gather points toward the 25th PDGA Open World Championships in Augusta, Ga., this fall.

A World Championship qualifying score is more than 1,000 points. Beaver is in the high 900's, and he's played in a few PDGA Open championships before.

Charlotte hosted the PDGA Open World Championships in 1986 and 1997, and the Charlotte Open disc-golf championship in October 2005.

Parts of rounds are videotaped for PDGA records. Players also are competing for a trophy and the money collected from their registration fees (around $320 for pro divisions).

Intermediate players who win will get certificates in exchange for merchandise from Innova Disc Golf in Rock Hill.

The sport is popular among younger men, but it does have a women's division, and athletes vary in ages. Women and children can participate alongside other players, but professionals and amateurs are separated during tournaments.

Diana Singleton, 58, showed up even though she can't play. She quit the sport in 1993, when she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Now, she comes just to follow her husband, Doug, and other players, wearing a big red straw hat and relying on medication to keep her comfortable enough to walk with them.

"It's a lot more fun than watching real golf," she said.

Singleton also has a special way of fighting the heat: She wears a vest filled with frozen cooling pads and covered in decorative butterflies.

"Would you like a cold hug?" she asks other players as they greet her on their way to the registration table.

The soon-to-be sweaty players tote bags full of discs, grip tape, chalk and water into the woods.

You can watch the last day of Points Bonanza competition today at Sugar Creek Park beginning at 9:30 a.m.
