Registration, course, hotel and contact info can be found at The Upstate Disc Golf Club (http://www.upstatediscgolfclub.com). Online registration will be available in a few days.

Will Easley still have the original pin placement for # 10 ? :D

Yes it will. According to the Foothills Disc Golf Club, the course will be "closed" for the tourney. Play should run smoothly at Easley and Greenville. We will have fly pads on the 10th and 11th tee at Easley. They do have a back up hole as an emergency in any case.

Online registration is now available. Click here (http://www.upstatediscgolfclub.com/id15.html)

do you mean where #10 pin is now, or do you mean the original long pin @ Easley.Also , will pros be playing long tees @ Timmons ?

We mean where the pin sits now on #10 at Easley. As of now Pros and Ams will play from the normal tees at Timmons. Hopefully we can use this two-course tourney as a learning experience for possibly doing a similar tourney in early Spring or maybe a four day deal similar to Points Bonanza like our neighbors in Charlotte. With Seneca, Easley, Greenville, Greer, and Boiling Springs, who knows?

Good luck to Zack "Cuban" Rogers and Pat Husted of SC as they get ready for Pro Worlds in Augusta. Represent Upstate South Carolina and most of all, Have Fun.

Why did you have to go and do that Rene? I played with such a vengence on Day 1 because you left me out and so I made it into Pool A.
Now that you went out of your way to wish me luck,... I get <font color="red"> spanked </font> by Riverview and PK.

Oh well. I probably had no business being in Pool A anyway.

By the way, Rene, Bill just walked by and says you apparently gave him the 'kiss of death' as well, so thanks from both of us.

Hey, Rene, PH here, just thought I'd say "hi" and ask about your baby, is he here yet? Congrats on Hotlanta. I'm just waiting for Jay to finish breakfast so we can play Hippo and Lake O today. Hope all is well in Greenville.

Pat Husted

Nov 1 is the due date. She'll probably go into labor during the Upstate Classic if she's a few days late. Kepp up the good shooting Pat. And to all Upstate South Caroilna players, that means you Jay and Bill. Wish I could be playing right there with you guys. C'mon Cuban, let's see a fifty player jump these next rounds. Peace.

Cuban says there will be doubles out at Timmons Park on Friday, August 18, at 6:00 pm. Entry fee to be $10. Meet between holes 1 and 10.

Rene, Do you know if pros and ams are going to be playing at one course or will you still keep the pros and ams at seperate courses? Im asking because i talked to Cuban and he said that was still up in the air. Thanks

As of now the schedule on the flier is what we are going by, but still not written in stone. Schedule is highly subject to change. We have situations that have derived from the past couple of weeks. With local and regional players taking time off work to play Pro or Am Worlds, maybe the UFO does not fit into their schedule, financially or physically. Entries are slowly but surely coming in. We talked yesterday about the possibility of having everybody play one course on Sat and another on Sun. The result was this: On Wed. the 16th, we will make a final decision on the courses used. Online registration ends on Wed at midnight. We expect to have a lot of sign ups the day of also. We want to utilize our resources and volunteers the best we can. Since I am sitting out the tourney to be the "TD", I want every volunteer, assistant and helper to have the opprtunity to play. Obviously if everyone plays one course on Sat and the next on Sun, then number of needed volunteers drops. Just keep an eye out for a message from me on Wed. I will email every entrant of the the status and post the info on every resource we have. We are also prepared to add a hole or two, if needed. Hope this helps.

Doubles at Timmons Park - Friday 8/18 @ 6 PM

Sorry for the late notice, we did have to wait until after Worlds to decide whether we'd be able to make this trip the next weekend. Our dogs and the puppy are just going to have to tough it out for a few more days with the dog sitter - add four more from Charleston - Vanessa, Coleman, Greg and Connor! (but we probably won't make it there for doubles).

Team Chuck going for gold in 6 divisions! Now you're talking INVASION!! Watch Out!

Not a problem Vanessa. See you guys Saturday.

RG

Good luck Team Chuck. Should be some great disc golf weather this weekend.

Im going to have to disagree with you on the whole invasion part. As you know Mike F. will be there and ive got a feeling who ever is playing against him will be playing for the silver medal. Im starting to see De Ja Vu from the last tourney in Charleston. Team Orangeburg on Top!!!!

I have been working Team Chuck hard, they are ready for redemption. I am pretty sure that both courses are Righty friendly anyway. :) Good luck Team O!

Good luck to Team Chuck also. Im sure with a coach like you Jonas that they will do very well . Im sure they are a little righty too but people in orangeburg have all shots in the bag. Good luck, see ya soon

Rene will someone be at doubles to take registrations?

Yes, I will be there to take entries and money.

Thanks

Hey Rene!!!
Save me a spot Bro'.
I'll see you Saturday AM.

See you Sat Woodrow.

Also, Brent J and Chris W, Mark says you guys coming up. See you Saturday at Easley.


:confused:Remember, everybody meets at Easley on Saturday.

Hey Alex Keil, I got your email. My return email to you is not going through. Hope you read this in time. See you Sat at Easley.

Ben Gaddis tore up the competition winning Pro Master and beating the Open field by 1. That is a great competitor and a nice guy. Someone needs to give this guy a ticket to a major.

Way to go on the win Dr. DNA!

Ben Gaddis is the man! He also beat the pro field (by 3) at last year's upstate classic. He def needs a ticket to a Major!
Congrats Ben! yeah Clemson ...!

I appreciate Jonas. Thanks for the support and thanks to all of the Upstate Club and Foothills Club for a great event.

scores?

Thanks to Rene, Cuban, and all the others who helped with this mucho-fun event.

Props to all the women there - Nancy, your game has improved dramatically! Kim, I hope we'll get to see more of you in SC! To the woman who wasn't there - Jenn, I hope your arm heals quickly. And good news for women's disc golf: keep your eyes on Sarah Stanhope - she's the best female sidearm thrower I've ever seen. Huge power and great control. You heard it here first, folks!

Great tournament Rene, Zack, and all others who participated in making this tournament as smooth as possible! It was nice to see all you guys and also meet some of the new ones I haven't met before. I hope to be able to continue playing often like back in '03. Does anybody know when scores will be posted?

Oh yea, I guess I'm a pro now with my big $32.00 cash! , but on Friday the PDGA sent me an invitation to the '06 US Am Championships, can I still go???? hahah

Scoreboard was left behind at Hooters on Sunday night. I heard the Lead Scoreboard Administrator had to take a taxi home and his only responsibility of the weekend was left behind. Scores will be posted when scoreboard safely in the hands of the TD.

Congrats Cuban on 2nd Place, Mark Muren accepting cash and officially Pro (although this is approximately his 6th or 7th cashing without turning down), Sarah Stanhope keeps on winning, Bill Ball representing, Rick Huquembourg winning INT division, Dwayne Davis shooting good, Tim Thompson finishing strong, Dain Sivak cashing in the Open, Choad and David Debois for shooting hot 4th rounds, Chris "DNA" Kilgus on what I believe is his first "B" Tier win. Congrats bro. And Ben Gaddis, once again outplaying the field. Congrats Ben, and hope you do it again at the Upstate Classic.

Thanks to all sponsors, contributors, staff, water runners, course maint crews, and everyone who assisted over the weekend. Most of all Thank you Cuban, for all your hard work, initiative, and passion for Disc Golf. ;)

:(Get well soon Sam. Hope to see you up and running soon. LOL for you at the tourney. Everybody wishes you well and they all send a big What's Up!

See everyone at the Upstate Classic in November, Sign up early.
