the 20+ yr tradition of MD states continues.

there are two major changes though-- 1) this year it will be sanctioned and 2) we'll be playing at the links at druid hill in baltimore instead of pine grove.

singles is set for sunday 10/1
we're trying to secure the fields of pine grove for field events and BYOP doubles on the saturday prior (9/30). if we can't do it there, we'll have it across the street from druid on saturday.

more details will follow shortly. lunch will be provided at no cost to the players and there will be some decent added cash.

druid hill disc golf course is celebrating it's 20th year in the ground and this is only part of the festivities. look forward to details on a vintage class tourney hosted by the course founders in the coming months. the vintage rule being that only molds that were available when the course went in will be used in play. the course will be as close to its original setup as possible.

Call? Whatever happened to impersonal emails and pm's?

Is this the flyer I should print and post at Patapsco or is something else in the works?

hold off on posting the flyer. i have to add info on BYOP dubs and field events at the grove on the saturday prior as well as some sponsor info...

breaking sponsor news.... i've just worked out one of those incestuous deals with the WVO folk to scratch their back if they scratch ours. custom wooden minis will be awarded as trophies for first place open, masters, pro ladie(s) and hopefully advanced and GM as well.

9 days till i get to wap wap!

Nice work Paul!

MD states are right around the corner!

I'm in, but the "Maryland" State Coordinator appears to be chickening out. :o

go figure.

we played the grove yesterday and it's looking nice.

i'm off to druid this morning to do general clean up and play. pre-regs are trickling in.

His in-laws are in town through next weekend, and he needs to do family things to appear reputable. Being Rich you can imagine how difficult this will truly be.

bump

The Vegas line on Hawk going tits-up halfway through the event because he's so old and decrepid: 10:1.

are you kidding me? Our Disc Golf Hero is a paragon of fitness and stamina.

i'll give it 3:1 that he's in the cash and draws close to even in the bet with doc evil.

I'll take some of that action. :cool:

Thanks fan!

What are you...high?

If your avatar was your caddy...i don't think anyone within a 4 hole radius of you would cash.

Just one of the many perks of being <font color="red">Your Disc Golf Hero. </font> Do you actually carry your own bag?

Sadly yes, but those things on her have to weigh about as much as my bag does. Do you carry her bags for her?

They are self supporting. My role involves caressing and cupping.

the course will be freshly mowed and looking really nice this weekend.

come practice at thursday night triples this week (get there by 5 with $3 and a mini).

the course probably won't be in final tourney setup until friday though.

REAL SPORTING OF YOU :p

it'd be one thing if i was trying to outdraw swamp dubs, but that lost it's "SPORT" appeal last june.

i'd have the course set up in tourney layout sooner, but with the inner city youts that we have coming for our disc golf exhibition on wednesday, i prefer the shorter setup. i don't want to promise to have everything moved by this week's thursday night triples.

it's for the youts mr. sherwood, but i know you'll never understand that.

Yeah we only got 123 at the swamp for the Calvert Open. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

coincidence? 123 is just a few shy of how many more folks have been to TNT at druid hill than swamp dubs so far this year! :D

flights are still senseless. especially at calvert.

Yeah that and 2 day turnies. :D

how about 2 day'ers with both days optional?

See you at HH. :eek:

HH and wap wap are both far and away more worthy of 2 day events than most courses around here. the grange and codorus are close.

Yeah, Seneca is such a pitch and putt really boring.

i like seneca. i just have high standards for "two-day event worthiness". calvert on the other hand... :D

note states is two days with doubles at one course one day, then singles at another course the next. you can play one or both days. in essence, these are two seperate events at two seperate courses. click my sig for details.

That's why we tier at Calvert it works out great for that course. Glad you are keeping it sepArated this weekend. :cool:

leading up to this event, we need to thank everyone who has helped get it going. in no particular order-- TE for doing the saturday thing and cleaning up the grove, marc c for continuing states and working so much on both the grove and druid over the years. norm, tony d, rich o for keeping druid the gem that it is. dr. evil for being state coordinator. all the folks who came out for the spring tree planting. bryan and rachel for keeping the druid tourney going. troddy for plastic support. all the volunteers who have helped out at rec and parks kids days. the baltimore rec and parks for providing porta-johns, picnic tables and timely mowing. mark susi and the wvo for our fantastic trophies. dave gentry at the pdga for helping out with our schedule snafu. glen h for keeping us on our toes by moving the baskets at regular intervals and general course maintenance. markmetl for providing www.md-discgolf.com (http://www.md-discgolf.com) and www.marylandnomads.com (http://www.marylandnomads.com) . all MD TDs for doing what not enough people want to. mr. sherwood for documenting it all. all 714 TNT attendees thus far this year for making druid home of the area's biggest weekly. my cat chi (short for chicago) for having been a badass mouser at my pre-1900 built home-- RIP. all people who bought a TNT shirt. all people who plan to come out this weekend. the maryland nomads. the cheasapeake disc golf club. the flyers. the cedar farmers. the t-shirt guys who you'll meet on sunday. hawk for always stepping up and supporting every event that i've been involved with. all the druid O.G.'s for creating and maintaining druid throughout it's 20 year history. and everyone else involved, especially those who i forgot to mention above.

the weather looks great and we should have a blast.

Anyone from the Wilmington Area heading down to this? I'm down in DE for work and need a ride to Baltimore.

Will supply gas $$ :cool:

Thanks,
Sax

at 62 participants, turnout was a little light. it was a beautiful day and the course looked splendid.

results (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=5794&amp;year=2006&amp;incl udeRatings=1#Open) are up.

thanks for coming.

Thanks Paul fun tournament, the discgolfTV guy said he really liked the course, he said he liked it better than Seneca. /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif Of course i don't think he knows any better. :D

Hey Sharky, I'm not the discgolfTV guy, I'm the Disc Golf Monthly guy! lol

I have great news by the way, corporate just confirmed yesterday. Next month Disc Golf Monthly will become availible on digital cable in the baltimore area. Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Howard County, Harford County and Anne Arundel County will have the show availible via Comcast On Demand next month.

I took notice one of the towns in Arundel County is Laurel. If I remember right, I think you tole me you're from Laurel. If so, I hope you get a chance to view the show via On Demand.

Kevin McGorry

Thanks, nice to have choices in our disc golf entertainment. BTW I am in Howard County it sounds like you have that area covered too. Greater Laurel actually is in four counties: Prince George's, Anne Arundel, Montgomery, and Howard.
