I'm sorry Jeff. I didn't know you were injured.

BIG bOOOOOOOO.
I heard there was a beer fest in myrtle beach that weekend.

WOW THATS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN U SLEEP IN THE CART

no, thats what happens when you get thrown out of the cart apparently. was a reinjury though, so cant blame the driver. probably some buckeye hating going on anyways.

Maybe you'd find greater acceptance in the friendly confines of Yadkin County. We've actually adopted a Buckeye as our mascot. Of course he thinks he's the club president, but it keeps him happy. :D

Jeff, U should come down and be a caddy. U sure are a great cart driver. 10%?

getting closer. need some more charlotte players at the beach.

getting closer. need some more <font color="red">playaz right near da beach, BOYYYYYEEEE. </font>

gots a registration list yet?

Do ams need carts if they are only on the short course? Would love to see a lower price for ams without carts. There's no reason to have carts on the short course, they only get in the way.

Is peckham allowed to drive the sprinter van instead of a cart?

Wow. I hope some more people decide to register. As it stands right now, we'll pack half the tournament in the Suburban for the ride down.

Maybe this will encourage folks to sign up....

We have over $1,000 added cash so far. I am shooting for $2,000 added cash.

I will have more CFR Champion Destroyers tomorrow. I have been told that there are some very sick colors in the box including some clear ones infused with some cool colors out near the rim.

Kirk

Kirk, did you get the email I sent to your mindspring account Tues?

Yes I did. However, because of my schedule (work 9 hours each day and school 4 hours each day) I haven't turned my home computer on in more than a week. I will try to look for some reference materials for you this weekend.

No problem man. I appreciate the help.

Stay tuned...I have just spoken to BKS @ The Players Cup. We may have some big names coming to Tupelo. Besides the big name locals.

groovy. easy to convert em when they are playing on a ball golf course!

You do know I'm going, don't you Cap'n?

Matt,

I knew that!!!

For those of you paying attention there are very few Champion Destroyers left.

Please pre-register so I can give them a count of how many carts we will need.

We may have to stop registration on Friday next week and may not be able to allow registration the day of the event.

is the pre-reg list current?

No, but it will be tonight.

I was going to ask the same thing.

Also what is going to be the rule on warming up before the rounds? Is there going to be a driving range. :)

The driving range will most likely be off limits before rounds as there is no real safe way to retrieve discs. The last 2 years there was a slight delay due to frost on the course early in the morning. If there is no frost delay players will be able to warm up out on the course. I hope to set up the course earlier in the week (Monday or Tuesday) if they will let me. I will know by tomorrow. The last 2 years I was allowed to set-up on Thursday morning so that should be the latest. The back 9 holes are lighted up until 10:00pm.

It's tonight where i live Captain, WTF is the hold-up?? :D

To bad there seems to be no promotion of this event in the town or even the course where this will be held. We are trying to get a public course in the MBeach area instead of this miserable 9 hole pay to play course. If you're gonna bring the show to town it would be cool if someone at the course knew something about it. Especially after the big post that Disconcepts posted as the kick-off for the event.

it is a guy from N.C. who has speerheaded this event and took a ton of time and effort to put this thing on. the majority of players coming to support this event are coming from N.C.(all but one right now) If you are from Myrtle beach why don't you try to Promote it. It is not up to the course to promote it all they want to do is make money off the event. or at least not lose money. you are a local you know about it why don't you help spread the word??????????

Werd TTsunami..

dont know much about the politics/history of things but it seems to me that someone local should be running this tourney so someone from out of town wouldn't have to... then someone local could be advertising things and getting the word out.
Kirk seems to be stepping up and running things because nobody else wanted to and instead of letting the ball drop and not have this 'player favorite tourney' he's putting himself out by running the show.

like i said... dont know the history and what you or others might've done in the past w/ this tourney or with trying to get a course in Myrtle ... just wouldn't want to see anyone down someone for volunteering to run an event

and the discgolfconcepts post that started this thread is regarding last years tourney

its kind of like what happened in Charleston with Innova.

They ran it for years and now Jonas runs it. Sounds like Pat / Kirk are doing the same thing, planting the seed so others may run it in the future.

It's tonight where i live Captain, WTF is the hold-up?? :D



I am finally home from work and the list is updated.

http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=7336

Thanks for the support.... :confused:

Just ribbing at Kirk, no offense Mike. ;)

Let me clear some things up.

I asked Pat Farrell if he were going to run Tupelo Bay this year. He said he didn't have time this year. I asked if he would mind if I ran it this year. He gave me his blessing.

I pulled together a team.

Mike Norris is handling registrations (PayPal, mailed in registrations and posting the pre-reg list on the PDGA Tour page).
Mike will also be my MVP when it comes to handling scores and figuring out the payout.
Pat Farrell is handling course setup.
Paul Bergey is handling fund raising through Zonedriven.
Innova is supplying the baskets, they are the same ones being used in Charleston this weekend.
Zonedriven is handling CFR sales.
Vince Cronkey is the Tupelo Bay Manager and he is excited that we are having it again this year.
I am managing the entire project via phone, email and the Discussion Board.

I do not reside in Myrtle Beach or SC. Nor do I know any players that reside there. So, drumming up support for the event in that area is nearly impossible for me. That is why I posted all the specifics here. Hoping that anyone that might be interested would use the information to drum up support.

As for promoting the event the easiest way for me to promote the event from Raleigh was to post it here on the Discussion Board. Also, I have been announcing it at all of the PDGAs I have been to during the last month.

It isn't easy running an event locally. Running an event remotely is even tougher.

If anyone has any complaints or problems with anything to do with this event please bring them to me. Please do not harrass the volunteers that have been kind enough to step up and help me pull this together. I will try to fix any problems that may occur. Please keep in mind that I cannot and will not make everyone happy. However, I will try to fix any issues that are brought to me. If you don't make me aware of any issues please don't bother to complain about it after it is too late.

Kirk

Let me add some reasons why I am running this event:

I like this course.
I like getting to ride in a cart for the entire weekend.
I like playing a course that is over 9,000 ft. and not being exhausted Sunday afternoon.
I like not carrying my bag all weekend.

Now, back to my regularly scheduled tirade...y'all need to sign up in advance. I need to give the folks at Tupelo some idea as to how many players are coming.

Starting in 2008 any event that I run will require pre-registration. There will be no exceptions. I will not accept any excuses why a player couldn't pre-reg for an event. If you can't plan more than 2 days in advance then you won't be playing in any event that I run. Right now that will include the Pro Crosstown and the NC States.

Kirk

Never been to Myrtle Beach. Sounds like a quiet little coastal town. Anything to do there?

And Kirk, I can fix you up with a cracker jack cart driver. Do you know Jason Land? :) Quite the cart jockey, keeps at least three wheels in contact with terrafirma at all times. Not sure if his driving style will be inhibited by daylight though. He generally prefers cover of darkness, glow stick head lights and dodging trees by feel. Whhhhummmppp...... "That was a tree." ;) :D:D:D Looking forward to it Pig Jammer!!!! :cool::cool::cool:

Kirk,
Thanks again for taking on this wonderful event! I too LIKE the course and venue for the reasons you listed. Can't wait to play in my 1st Tupelo Bay Open. Yes, it is quite a juggling act hosting an event hours away from where you live. Your organizational skills are top notch and I am happy to be able to help in any way. The best thing that disc golfers in the Myrtle Beach area can do to promote disc golf in their area is show up at the event. Bring your friends and have a good time. All skill levels are welcome and course layouts will be adjusted to your division. Bring your families out to watch the action, call the newspaper and radio stations and tell them what's going on. Come out Thursday and Friday and play the course. Sign up to play.
Sidetrack....
The Myrtle Beach area while being one of the top golf destinations in the world is without a public park disc golf course? Land is very expensive and has been snatched up by hotels, golf courses and strip malls long ago. Brent Taylor who is the Horry County, SC (Myrtle Beach to Surfside) Parks Director is VERY pro disc golf and well educated about the construction of courses. If there were local disc golfers looking to try and get a course going at the beach, contacting Brent would be your best bet. Also look into getting disc golf installed on OTHER ball golf courses in MB (preferably a long technical course with loads of water, elevation, and wildlife). If you find a course that is interested and needs help selling the idea I would be glad to help or you could contact the guys at Innova in Rock Hill as well. There are over 100 golf courses in the Myrtle Beach area go find a new one we can PLAY!

Sign up for the Tupelo Bay Open and come play this incredible layout!

Sign me and Bergey up. Our money is tied up in Charleston.

Pat,

I am just glad you agreed to let me run it.

Matt,

If your money is tied up in Charleston how are you going to play in Myrtle Beach? I mean you're not going to cash in Charleston are you?....lmao

I will have Mike put you and Paul on the list.

Kirk

no, my money was SENT to Charleston, but I withdrew, and the money has not made it's way back here, since one check covered a lot of people (many are not going). It gets confusing, I am confused. What day is it? Captain?

Are all the holes a true delight to play and watch others play?

Day? Hmmmm, no clue. I only concentrate on making it to the weekend.

This is a great course from a players and a fans perspective.

It is too bad we can't get a video crew down here.

I have heard great things about Tupelo
I would definitely be there but I have exams on the Friday before the tourney and the Monday after.
Booo everyone enjoy themselves safely

DisConcepts... Thanks for your reply! Do you have Brent's contact info.

Capt. Kirk, I'm not sure why you felt the need to ask me not to harrass your volunteers. I'm just asking for some exposure at the local level. This website is great, but not everyone is in the PDGA or even knows what it is. I only recently joined myself (August). I literally live around the corner from Tupelo Bay and play it very very regularly and I had no idea there was a tournament coming up until I saw a CFR disc on ebay last week. When I walk into the Pro Shop with the disc and inquire about the tournament you would think I asked if I could buy a bootleg copy of an alien autopsy video. One staff member actually told me the disc must be a misprint. I don't think a poster on the wall is too much to ask for an event of this caliber.

Guys, Myrtle Beach is no quite little beach community, we have 2 local TV stations, a very well read newspaper, as well as at least 6 major market radio stations. We have well over 100 stick golf courses, over 50 baseball/softball facilities including Cal Ripken Experience park. We have 2 large State Parks, a large Municple Golf course that was a Land to Park grant from the closing of MBAFB as well as extensive public and private redevelopment of the remainder of the MBAFB land. This redevlopment has already included a lot of recreation areas and more are coming. We need to be strong in this next wave of planning.

With the addition of the Hard Rock theme Park &amp; new Sports Arena at Coastal Carolina things are only getting bigger, while MB is tempoarily focused on more diverse recreation we need to make sure we are on the front page whenever possible.

Yeah Cal Ripken!!!!

Will this event be one of my favorites for years to come?

as long as you don't play that 9 hole course for $10/18 holes with idiot stick golfers covering the course in parties of 7 while its 105 outside.... YOU'LL LOVE IT

The request not to harass the volunteers was not directed at anyone in particular.

The facility manager was emailed a copy of the tournament flyer. I cannot control whether it gets posted or not.

I am not trying to be difficult (everyone knows that I can be when needed) however, if there were enough of a demand for this event from the LOCAL PLAYERS then this event would be held and run locally rather than remotely. Having spoken to the facility manager the majority of inquiries (and there haven't been that many) about this event have come by phone and most of those were not SC phone numbers.

Believe me, I would love it if MB or the MB area were to get another course. I was extremely disappointed when Harbor View was pulled. It was only 20 miles from my in-laws in Brunswick County NC. I am down there fairly often. I would love another course to play besides Castle Hayne. No offense to the House of Payne folks, as it is my 2nd favorite course in NC. I just like a little variety. The facility manager at Tupelo told me that Harbor View was pulled because it had NO activity.

Nothing will happen ANYWHERE unless there is a core group of LOCAL PLAYERS constantly trying to get courses installed. It may even come down to the point where someone will give in just to get you to leave them alone. That means making phone calls to city and county officials, going to Parks &amp; Rec meetings, city council meetings, calling local golf courses etc. etc. etc. I know all of this can be frustrating. I have been trying to get a course installed in a park for 10 years. That is 10 years while Disc Golf has been on the Master Plan for this park for 11 years.

I am sorry that it seems like I am not doing enough to promote this event in the MB area. I guess the bottom line is I am selfish and I am running this event for ME!!! I want to play this course. I want to ride in a cart all weekend. I don't want to carry my bag all weekend. I don't want to be tired after throwing 9,000+ feet. Does anybody see a pattern here...I, I, I, I It's all about me and always has been....lmao

Kirk

Sorry, I�m not even playing this event, but I have to say something.

Is someone from Myrtle Beach honestly complaining about lack of publicity for an event when a guy from 3 hours away has to step up and run the event?

I agree, something should be posted in the clubhouse, given to local media, all that jazz. Feel free to mention that 2 time world champion and 3 time USDGC champion Barry Schultz has come to this event. USDGC champion, European Open Champion and Players Cup Champion Dave Feldberg has came. 4 time Masters World Champion Brad Hammock has came.

Don�t sit around complaining about lack of publicity for an event in your home town unless you yourself have done something about it. I know I�ve seen Kirk post the flyer on this very thread about 6 times � just copy and paste it into word and post it at the clubhouse, email it to some news people.

I�m sure Kirk would have posted flyers at the clubhouse if he wasn�t, I don�t know, 3 FREAKING HOURS AWAY FROM IT!

w3rd

Is the risk reward at this course completely viable on every hole?

Guys, Myrtle Beach is no quite little beach community, .


Bro you are in for a lot of greif on this website if you keep posting the way you do. have you ever heard of sarcasim?? i am sure jamie (riverdog) was using it when he posted that. Once again it is not up to us here in North Carolina to promote an event Kirk is running in your town YOU PROMOTE IT. Kirk and his staff are doing enough. Kirk is throwing this event for one reason so we can come play a tournament on a great course Pat (disconcepts) created. if you don't feel like it is getting enough exposure do something about it instead of pissing and moaning on this thread. Get with it man.

Do bad drives and poor putts/upshots get punished on this course?

when u comin home homie??

and yes risk reward on every hole bad putts are no good and hard boiled eggs make me prrrrrrnnnnnnnttttt

After this weekend, so no poker or sushi for me tonight...I might be back on monday...And the boys come down on wed. night. whats a prrrnnnnnnnt?

What the hell is sarcasim?

you wouldn't know sarcasm if it was in this post ;)

you'll be back Monday?... so you are def. out for Charleston then? Boo.

and i like the questions... keep em' coming!

Will i have to carry my bag around this long course?

wednesday huh we need to ball it out then sun. we will have to cutt your teeth at the beach bars then. show CT a good time!

Dats right...
Are there any roped off OB areas on this course, or are they all fair; consisting of water, sidewalks(on and over), and putting greens?

This is a great course from a players and a fans perspective.

It is too bad we can't get a video crew down here.



I might be able to get some good pictures assuming good weather. Will not be able to get any of the open players though unless there is going to be some type of distance or other contest on Sunday.

distance on hole one. Pure distance, rollers and skips included.

The tee locations and target placements offer a nice balance of shots needed to score well. Most of the holes have nothing to do with crushing it off the tee but more to do with placement off the tee and accurate upshots. A player who throws 300 to 375 accurately off the tee should play this course well. Water comes into play on 14 holes and all greens will be out of bounds. However sand traps, cart paths, and three fairways over are ALL INBOUNDS at Tupelo Bay. It's fun to get a little reckless and risky on this course to find a line that works. Yanking a shot into the next fairway and saying you were planning on the route are part of the strategy here. In the last two years I can't remember one single complaint about the course but can remember scores of stories about the shot that made someones weekend.
A good number of the target locations are set on mounds surrounding the (ball golf) green. So many putts and upshots challenge the player to take into account for a roll to the lake or onto the green factor. 2 holes in particular #4 and #12 are some of the best par 5 holes in the game. Challenging and accurate tee shots with placement 2nd shots will net a birdie and the occasional eagle can be had. But these holes will also punish with a hockey stick, snowman, or worse. Scores of 7,8, 9, 10, and 13 have been had on hole #5. Aside from the challenge of the course and the beauty of the property the course sets up fun for just about any skill player; even if you end up throwing 12 of you favorite discs into one of the lakes, you will have a memorable time. Par is a great score. A few open players can shoot 5, 6, or 7 down. And freaks like Schultz, Schweb, and Feldberg can go as deep as 12 down! But even the best disc golfers will get eaten on this course and head back to their car looking for replacement discs. Are you in ???

Awww hayell Chewbaca. Nobody said nothing about losing no discs. But, yup, I'm in. :cool:

Let me break this down so the flame squad can understand it. I DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS EVENT UNTIL THE FRIDAY AFTER THANKSGIVING. I'm disappointed because I play Tupelo Bay every week, usually more than once a week, never heard a word...I even asked about it. I WOULD LOVE TO HELP, but I can't just up and start promoting this on my own with no info. Instead of �Hey glad to see there�s finally someone in Myrtle that�s fired up about the sport�we could use another hand� all I have gotten here is a bunch of overly defensive rhetoric about how I should keep my trap shut.

I've only been a PDGA member since August...there was no big arrow pointing me to this page to keep up with tournaments happening right under my nose. I have already started my efforts for a public course here, meeting with City &amp; County Councilmen &amp; the Chairman of the County Planning &amp; Zoning commission. When I joined the PDGA I asked for some help in the note portion of my application...not a peep...but I did get my dues renewal reminder.

By the way my �quite little beach community� comment was not directed at the Riverdog I just used his terminology�I was pointing out that MB had some very good media possibilities.

message board is confusing.

I'm not sure if I made my points very clear.

1 - The facility was emailed a flyer. I have no control over whether they post it or not.

2 - With no known organization or players I had no one that I could contact in that area to get the word out.

3 - With no public courses in the area I had no place to get a flyer posted.

4 - I used the best methods available to me. That was getting the event listed on the PDGA Tour page, posting the flyer on the Discussion Board (which now seems like a mistake) and last but not least word of mouth at PDGA events.

Michael, I am fairly certain you called me. When we spoke on the phone I believe I was very excited about the fact that there was a group (no matter how large or small) that was interested in Disc Golf in MB. I still am excited and I am more than glad to offer assistance.

I do understand your concerns about no promotion for the event in the town where it is happening. However, given the circumstances (short time frame, remote planning, no known organization to work with, no contacts in the area, etc.) I did the best I could with what I had to work with. I will not apologize for doing the best I could with what I had to work with.

Kirk

wednesday huh we need to ball it out then sun. we will have to cutt your teeth at the beach bars then. show CT a good time!

PINK PONYYYYYYYYYYYYYY !!!!!!!!!!!!

Jamaica still works there.

where am I staying, FRIZZIES???

It's your year to put ME up.

I won't even leave Bidis on the porch.

Welcome to the fray Michael. Don't be put off by the message board responses. It's easier knowing where folks are coming from and interpretting tones/nuances of words on the screen if you've actually met the other guy. Can't speak for anyone but myself, and not very well even then, but if my lips are moving or I'm punching keys, assume I'm being a smart arsch and, usually, not in a mean spirited way. I'm pretty sure it's a genetic thing. My mama always argues that point. Daddy's dead and has ceased to provide input on the subject. On the other hand, could be environmental. I spent an awful lot of time with the old dude. :cool:

On a related note, would you mind if I refer to you as SC Moondoggy? This would avoid confusion with Burlington NC Tracy "I-didn't-know-they-sold-beer-at-Bojangles" Moondoggy. Catch you Satiddy week in MB. :cool:

Jamaica still works there.


Has she had her kid yet

Instead of �Hey glad to see there�s finally someone in Myrtle that�s fired up about the sport�we could use another hand� all I have gotten here is a bunch of overly defensive rhetoric about how I should keep my trap shut.


WOW i would have suggested your first post have been "it is great someone is bringing and event to my town. How can i help?" as opposed to getting on this thread and complaining.

I will not apologize for doing the best I could with what I had to work with.

Kirk



I never asked for an apology.

Let me see if I can make this even more simple. Can you possibly, with no further defensive jargon, send me a copy of whatever you sent Tupelo Bay... I assure you, with the amount of money we spend there, that friggin' flyer will be posted. If you have any signage please send that. I have several large format printers at my disposal and a few places that will let me put small 11 x 17 posters. Anything you can give me that would help me get my friends at WBTW to send a camera crew over, who what when where, best times to cover etc. Sponsors, sponsor artwork, yadda yadda yadda.

This goes out to SK8BRD Head.....Maybe on next years sign-up sheet you could have a box... check here if you would like to beg to be a volunteer

that's the way to make freinds. at least I know you understand sarcasim. :D

Michael,

Another point of clarification...this event wasn't even approved until 10/26/2007. All of this has been very last minute.

I really am not trying to be difficult here but....I can't send you the flyer without an email address.

However, you can look back a few pages on this thread and see that I have posted all of the information about this event 5 times. Also, the PayPal link has a link to the flyer as well.

Here is all of the information again (now posted 6 times on this thread):

Michael... dont see you or any other Myrtle Beach guys on the prereg list yet... are you going to be able to play or know any others that might? it would also be a great way to support the event.

one other thing I was thinking of would be to start a Myrtle Beach Disc Golf Club (if there isnt one already)... it would help to give you guys a central voice and give people like Kirk trying to help a place to go to with information on a tourney like this. Shouldnt be hard @ first... really good way to start would be to get all your friends together that play... then post a flier @ trophy lakes and start spreading the word on the message boards and to everyone you see out on the course.

that's the way to make freinds. at least I know you understand sarcasim. :D



Dave do you remember the old Seinfeld where he's at the rent a car counter at the airport trying to get across the point of "making a reservation" and the woman at the counter says, "Sir I understand the concept of a reservation" and Jerry says, "No, I don't think you do." I'm thinking this is a little like that...... except different. :D Headed over to Cranberry Disco in a few for the Wednesday afternoon round. God I love Yadkin County disc golf. :cool: Teeing off at 2 Dave. Come on. And if you run into Joe Noble tell him to send me a fax # and I'll send him a copy of tone pole construction and dimensions. Later coastal taters.

Yeah, you better give me the insurance. Because I'm gonna beat the hell out of this car.



:D

:D:D

Jamie,
Man you are always good for a laugh!! Know the episode well and yes it is a little like that but different :D" you just don't know how to hold the reservation. and that really is the important part. holding the reservation" man wish i was closer to the mountains. i would be there in a second!! you guys have some beautiful land up there buddy. also glad to see Yadkinville Open was huge success! sorry i missed it Yadkinville is a GREAT Course!

I heard there might be some propagators at this event. I wish we could finally put a stop to this kind of behavior, we don't like that kind of thing down here. :D

i think you have to have a MD from MIT just to talk about propogators. that thread was great.

Propagators... wasnt that a Warren G song back in the 90s?... "Propagators... Mount Up!"

or are you talking about the plant growing device...
propogator (http://www.progressive-growth.com/proddetail.php?prod=34015&amp;cat=7)
http://www.progressive-growth.com/prodimages/plantlife/propogator.gif

or is this a prop a gator?
http://www.syix.com/rvaldez/sara%20gator.JPG

im confused... maybe I should go to MIT (or go to the right thread @ least?! )

ok...ok... one last prop a gator...
http://z.about.com/d/urbanlegends/1/0/b/E/big_gator.jpg

HOLY CRAP that was HUUUGE picture!!!

I'm sure that there will be more later on, but I just want to pat myself on the back for currently being the only SC player on the pre-reg list.
;) ;)
Didn't Pat Farrell mention earlier that he was going to get to play for the first time this year? He's from SC, too.

Good on ya Jay. Pat doesn't count. He's a man of the world.

Indellible afternoon at the Disco, Dave. Fifteen holes now and all killer. Ten or eleven of us on a beautiful, coolish Weds afternoon.

And excellent huuuuge pic of "gator" tail. :cool: Any "gators" in MB? :D

I really am not trying to be difficult here but....I can't send you the flyer without an email address.

I didn't realize my e-mail was not attached to my profile...its fixed. Bring a large cross to the beach, I hate being crucified with my feeet touching the ground.

We have a Gator or two around here, not as many as Santee. Just got back from Orangeburg, SC, played Edisto Mem Gardens DGC this afternoon... very nice, beautifully maintained course.

The Edisto Memorial Gardens is a great course and happens to be my home course.

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

"See that Bears game last week?"

This is the kind of stupidity TD's have to deal with:

A player leaves a message on my cell phone. I call him back. Here is the conversation:

Player: "How long is the drive from Washington D.C. to Garden City SC?"
Me: "I don't (expletive) know. I have never driven from Washington to Garden City."
Player: "Is it right off from I-95?"
Me: "Not even close."
Player: "Oh, so Garden City is in the Mountains?"
Me: "No, do you know where Myrtle Beach is?"
Player: "No. How far is it from Durham?"
Me: "About 3 hours. How did you get my name and phone number and how did you find out about the tournament?"
Player: "From the PDGA website."
Me: "Oh, so you have a computer?"
Player: "Yeah, I have a computer."
Me: "So why don't you go out to the (expletive) internet and type in Garden City on (expletive) MapQuest?"

That is an actual conversation that I had with a player while I was driving to Charleston this past Friday night.

Kirk

Cap'n Kirk, I think a switch to decaf is indicated. :D

Jamie,

You have to admit that in the internet age that kind of a conversation only means that the Player is either extremely stupid, lazy or both.

It did make for some great story telling. 100% of the people I told that story to this weekend suggested either MapQuest or Google Maps before I got to the part of the story where I suggested it.

Kirk

I most definitely know what you mean. My attitude when confronted with idgits isn't far from your's. That's why Frannie answers the phone when 2 a.m. "emergency" calls come in.

Idgit: We have a "wild bunny" on our porch.
Frannie: (Takes five to ten minutes patiently explaining
why a wild bunny on your porch does not
constitute an emergency)
Idgit: So your saying your not coming out?

Not kidding at all, has happened numerous times over the years with the wild bunny being substituted for everything from flying squirrels to 'possums. Idgits.

Jamie,

My wife won't let me post any of my napalm attacks on idiots on the discussion board anymore. She reads most of my posts before I send them in an effort to keep me from hurting some poor little adult disc golfers feelings.

Kirk

This may already be on here but, does anyone know of a nearby campsite? So far google hasn't been very helpful. Thanks

We'll discuss some deep breathing exercises next weekend that are supposed to help reduce tension. They've proved quite worthless to me, but, hey, you never know. :D

Rore,

Myrtle Beach State Park has a huge camping facility and is (I believe) in between Myrtle Beach and Garden City.

Kirk

How far is myrtle beach from garden city?

geez rory, ever heard of mapquest?

Obviously you have a computer if you posted here.

Hey Rory, there are rooms for $45 dollars a niht about 8 miles from the course...We are filled or else i would bring you in, but i think there are people looking for roomates. Hey Peckham, where are you staying. Call Jimmy, about the name of the place. Our room has Bard, ME, Jeff, Bobby, Kym and Jackie. Chock full o' nuts.

Robert,

Have you ever used Mapquest? It isn't going to tell you if there is a campground nearby.

Sjur,

At least you didn't waste my time with a phone call to ask me a seriously stupid question.

Kikr

how far is the course from the <font color="pink">pink pony</font>?

2 miles...I think its Cahills birfday this year. sorry Jimmy.

how fast do the carts go?

If your on four wheels, well, faster than me.

The pink pony is gonna be crazy if we get five TTrim and 4 ZZ in there... A pure UniTTy masacre. Bring your singles, and some baby formul for the dancers...Dont eat the oysters!

I need 60 more dollars in winnings thanks to the choke job in Charleston.....to play this event or not to play....

Ju can do it...$60 more for what? breaking even on the year? You should have gone to marshall street. It helps.

2,500 in PDGA winnings - then I would get the title of "touring professional" next year - not a big deal (although it would be cool to be able to vote for ROY, player of the year, etc), but it was a goal I set for myself at the start of the year.

Cashed for 75 in charleston putting me at 2,440.

I'm leaning towards going at this point.

Rory I have your 06� CFR Wraith with me. Come get it. The golf carts are NICE. No passing gear but zippy just the same. I�m hoping to get to use the PINK 8 passenger as a beer cart! I doubt they will let you drive it to the Pink Pony but it you could ask. I can picture the drive home now Frizzaks and strippers rolling down hwy 17�.
MTL suck it up and make the trip. Congrats on the 06� cashing so far finish it up son. 70�s sunny and breezy at the beach today shorts and t-shirt weather. Looks like great weather for the week.

looks like I'm coming afterall...

All I need to do is finish in the money and the card is mine!

The INNOVAN is en route with the DISCatchers.

The DISConcepts truck is en route to meet the INNOVAN. F350 on Sprinter who will win?

geez rory, ever heard of mapquest?

Obviously you have a computer if you posted here.



No, do you mind doing some research for me?...let me know what you find.
...Thanks Kirk

Seems the path rule would come into effect on hole 5 too, Captain. Wasn't sure if you wanted that path OB, definitely adds a bit of chance if you happen to throw too long (SOMEBODY can do it).

Matt

sarcasm my friend,sarcasm

Course is UP and will be OPEN for play starting tomorrow. Big thanks to Mike from Innova and the mighty INNOVAN for helping with the transport of the targets. I will set the tee locations tomorrow morning. A few holes may change a little but overall most will be the same. #7 will be 60� longer, further right, and closer to the edge of the lake. #9 will be longer bringing the hidden water behind the green into play. #10 slightly shorter and left. I�m also making some changes on the Par 3 course. Possibly expanding #3 and #8 into par 4 holes.
Anyone interested in Doubles on Friday?
If people are interested Kirk and I would be up for hosting doubles starting at 3:00pm on Friday. The plan is to play the Executive Course front 9 holes, stop for burgers and drinks (all you can eat on us), play the Executive Course back 9 under the lights, play the Par 3 under the lights, and pay the winners. Should be done by 7:30pm. Courses will remain open until 10:00pm with holes 10 -18 lighted on the executive course and 1-9 on the Par 3. $10 per person plus greens fees. Burgers and Drinks at the turn FREE for doubles players. Find us in the Sand Trap Lounge between 2:30 and 3:00 on Friday to get signed up.

I have invited the Horry County Parks Director Brent Taylor out to the event on Saturday. He is excited about disc golf and understands course design and construction. He is interested in talking to players about the sport and how it could best fit into the Myrtle Beach Parks program. If you are playing in the event and get a chance to talk with him feel free to share your thoughts about the sport in the area and make suggestions as to how the game can be included in the Horry County Parks system. If you live in the area use this opportunity to talk with some of the guys from Innova about how to bring the EDGE Educational Disc Golf Experience into your school or club activities.

check your email pat, need to make plans :Dthanks!

This may already be on here but, does anyone know of a nearby campsite? So far google hasn't been very helpful. Thanks

Rory, there are some really cheap hotels right on the beach. We got ours for 29 bux a night.

Exxon

LMFAO

Schweb...where did u find the room for under 30$?...thanks!!

Tizz...Yeah I caught that...I was just messing with you also.

Thanks Schweb and Sjur. I am a big camper so I kind of wanted to, but it's probably going to be $20ish to camp, I may check out the hotels.

And Pat, I am in for doubles. Any danger in waiting till then to bring my check?

I'm in for doubles. I'm making the long trip from Hotlanta. Anybody have the name of the closest hotel to the course? I've never been to Myrtle Beach and am not familiar with the area. Looking forward to a great time.

My first trip to Myrtle too. Moondoggy says it's a quiet little town. Bring a book. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

20 opem Playaz already, and still 3 friZZaks not in. Yeah!!!! a good field already.

Rory,

We will be able to accommodate 108 players. You should be safe to pay myself or Mike Norris on Friday.

Kirk

I am hoping for at least 30 Open players.

I'm taking my second stab at the pro ranks. Haven't won in am but I don't need any plastic. I might as well donate for a while.

bring the Dollar with ya, or Rand or some other Georgians.

What this course needs is some LEYVA!!!!!!

Bring everyone.

I would love it if we had 40+ Open Players.

I've tried. None of them want to come. Flying solo. I think they are afraid they won't be able to tame the beast. Or they are afraid of Schweb. I even offered to pay for the hotel room.

That's crazy. This is one of the most awesomest courses ever. No real golfer could turn down a trip to MYRTLE BEACH and PLAYING AN AMAZING COURSE.

And to hang with Schweb and the Frizzaks, priceless....

I don't know any of the people signed up so far. Does anyone have floor space? If I can't find a travel mate that is.

It looks like the weather is going to be awesome!!!

As long as the weather doesn't change between now and then we will be teeing off promptly at 9:30 AM on Saturday.

random draw cash doubles?

Just consumed 22 ounces of sweet relish, got my room paid for!

Pittsburgh Trip canceled due to scheduling conflict. the Wave is Back in for the Finale!!!!!!!!!! yeeeeeee haaaaaaa

so instead of haning out with some "professional actresses" you get to see me?

talk about your ultimate let down.....

Just consumed 22 ounces of sweet relish, got my room paid for!

Nice, slightly impressive

Pittsburgh Trip canceled due to scheduling conflict. the Wave is Back in for the Finale!!!!!!!!!! yeeeeeee haaaaaaa

Tooo Bad, But SweeeeeeeTT

NEWS FLASH

In an effort to help the course manager plan for the weekend we are no longer offering any Am divisions below Advanced. To re-phrase that the only Am divisions offered will be Advanced divisions.

At this point in the process it really shouldn't be an issue since there haven't been any Intermediates that have signed up.

All Pros (Open, Masters, Women, etc.) and all Advanced (Advanced, Advanced Masters, Advanced Women, etc.) will play 3 rounds of 27 holes. We will play the 18 hole temporary and the 9 hole permanent course in one loop. 2 rounds on Saturday and 1 on Sunday.

For those of you that may be upset with this decision please don't waste your time and typing skills. If it were that important to you then you should have signed up before this.

I need Johnny Storm's suit. Flame On!!!

Kirk

Dude, that's the best possible layout. I have no complaints! With 3 rounds of 27, we get golf at less than a dollar a hole! 81 holes for 80 dollars!!!!

yeah, other tournaments are less, but do you get golf carts and manicured fairways? Ehh???

You are crazy if you miss this, especially with a hotel nearby for $30 a night.... for THREEE beds!!!

EXACTLY.....yeah CarTTs and TThree Beds.

If you play the course before Friday, play from where the white tee markers are. I just finished playing the course and have to say that it is in the best condition I have seen it in from last three years. All of the low marsh areas that are typically wet, are dry and trimmed clean. The waters edge on each of the lakes is clean and defined, and the grass is GREEN and lush. The course is lighted until 10:00pm on holes 10 - 18. I will be adding some length off the tees and revised target locations on a few holes but the overall layout will be the same as the last two years. The Par 3 (permanent 9 hole course) will have longer tee locations and holes # 3 and #8 will be par 4�s making it par 29.

Executive layout Par 65
Par 3 layout Par 29
Par for the 27 hole layout Par 94.
Playing 3 rounds of 94 = Par 282 throws to stay even with this course.

Random draw doubles are on for Friday at 3:00pm. $10 per person + greens/cart fees. Kirk and I will be hosting burgers and drinks for doubles players FREE of charge (at the turn) in the Sand Trap lounge and new outdoor patio. Sign up between 2:30 and 3:00.

Is it snowing where you are at today? The Myrtle Beach airport is 5 miles from Tupelo Bay in Garden City. A cab ride from the airport to a beachfront hotel and to the course are all within a few miles. Get on it, claim an early Christmas present, bring your family for shopping and fly�.. YOU CAN DO IT!

How far is it from Apex to Garden City?

maybe 3.5 hours.

use google.

Still looking for the name of that cheap hotel. Anybody, McFly? Found a travel mate so it's Tupelo Bay or bust.

Seriously, I don't know the area so any help with a hotel name that's cheap and close would be greatly appreciated.

How far is .....lets say poughkeepsie ny to garden city?

Kirk ??

Jeff,

LMB

Kirk

Nice....

I try.

Are you coming to 2 Pillow?

i am back in. no "actresses" for me this weekend but plenty of skin at the <font color="pink"> pink pony </font> Make it rain sun make it rain

We need to get some more old farts registered for this thing. Come on! You'll still have two weeks to Christmas shop when you get back. AND THERE ARE CARTS!!! :D

They are scared!!!

They are scared!!!



Nah...just can't get out of town this weekend.

WOO-HOO! Just signed up today !!

GA Prisons have a sweet weekend release program. It adds a little more to my sentence but it is worth it. Richardhead and myself will be in the vehcile with the Wide Load sign on it.

I just hope the kids weren't actually planning getting gifts from Santa.

I want to go sooooo bad. But, with nobody to travel from Augusta with, nobody to share expenses (room) with, and a Christmas party Friday night that I cannot miss that ends around midnight, I'd have to leave my house at 4AM Saturday morning and drive 4-1/2 hours on 3 hours of sleep &amp; hungover and play 2 rounds of 27 holes on a very long course that I've never played before. Oh, and I'm sure I couldn't miss hanging out with TT and ZZ at the Pink Pony that night so sleeping Saturday night is out of the question. I'm not sure my 40+ year old butt can hang like it once could.

Kirk - If I get crazy and decide to drive down Saturday AM, would you guess that there should still be a spot left.

Mel Shuman

Mel,

We can handle up to 108 players. I would be amazed if 60 more players signed up before you get there.

If you decide to come give me a call. You should have my digits.

Did you get the pics I sent you?

Kirk

Kirk,

I got the pics (they look great). Any of the entire collection/area?
Did you get the links I sent?

Anybody know of any hotels in the area? I stayed near the Sprigmaid Pier at the northen end of Surfside last year. I found a couple of places but would like to know if there is a host hotel......

Thanks - I think. Nothing like sleeping with 10000 friends :)

See www.flickr.com/photos/disconcepts (http://www.flickr.com/photos/disconcepts) for some new pictures of the Tupelo Bay tournament course I uploaded. There are a few shots from each hole on the front 9. I have to explain that the file title �surfside trash net� refers to a water quality trash net device I was inspecting and photographing in surfside earlier in the day and has nothing to do with the disc golf course. Duh� Enjoy the photos. 4 3 3 5 3 4 4 3 3 (31)

Check your PM Mel, I might have a solution

I keep roughly 80 disc in my car. After seeing some of these holes I fear I may not have enough. :(

added captions to some of those photos, Pat

Jeff,

Kirk

You need to make it easier on Mike and myself and go ahead and sign up. That way we can get the leader board cards printed out in advance instead of having to do them Saturday morning.

Climo needs to come... he needs $65 to push past $40,000 for the year in PDGA winnings.

Impressive.

I wish but my parents feel that during Charleston and Tup. is the best time to visit before heading west to my brother's pad to hibernate. But atleast I'm getn some free labor. Next year definitely making Two Pillow.

Wish you could make it Brother Bradley.

there's BS everywhere. ;)

If you have not registered and you are planning to come to this event please call kirk, or PM me so that we can go ahead and get the leaderboard cards ready for saturday morning. We also need to let the management at Tupelo Bay know how many people they will have so they can schedule tee times around us.

The pre-reg list is being updated as we drive down to the course.

8 hours and I'm gone!!!

Hope there are enuff carts for spectators like last year.

I'll be rollin in Saturday around 8AM. Will I be able to practice a few of the holes before the tournament? I'm going to be playing the first round blind. I figure the holes are pretty straight forward, but judging distances (especially when crossing water) might be an issue. Dinner is either going to be at the Sea Captains House or Drunken Jacks. I hear they're both great. Any suggestions?

23 hours and 10 minutes till the players meeting...

Nice Mel Good to see you are coming in for the event

just thought of this but w/ Mike_ro_Dot there and golf carts... does this mean there will be DOTS! @ Tupelo?

Good luck to all playing this weekend and keep it in the fairway (wish I was there!!!)

Dick's Last Resort :D

Sea Captains House on 30th Ave N and Ocean Blvd in MB is usually always good but may have a wait.I usually eat with my family when I am home at least once a year there and it is on the ocean. I have not eaten at Drunken Jack's in several years but it usually is also good as well as Divine's Fish House in Murrells Inlet. All three have good reputations and are all owned by families who grew up in Horry and Georgetown Counties.

Five minutes to ignition.......... contact.... six, five.......

i wanted to clear something up real quick. i am not sure if everyone here knows but work sucks on beautiful winter days in the Carolina's. i mean my job is pretty darn cool and i am straight hateing life right now. man is it 5 o'clock yet?

Thread drift over...

Step it up Germ and you will only get better and learn the mental part of the game!

congrats Schweberger nice win... and good showing by MTL way to go..

If you missed it, you missed an awesome event. Hope we can run it again next year. I will always be back.

what a fun weekend - thanks to kirk and mike and stick and pat and innova for making it happen!!

Congrats to Schwebby for bangin a 22 footer left handed for the win - lol

I said this in the awards and I truly mean this - set goals for yourself, b/c it is awesome when you accomplish them.

07 out.
