So, who does the world think is going to win the USDGC this year? What do you think ..

Sep 30 2006, 03:16 PM
Who is your favorite underdog?????
I say keep an eye on Coda Hatfield, Steve Rico, and a little known golfer Dave " HEMI " Hemmeline.

This is just the most asinine post I've ever read.

You picked the last three world champs, the defending champ and a guy who finished 3rd at the worlds!

If you had done what you had said, your list would have included Mike Moser (4th at worlds, 4 super tour wins this year), Brian Schweberger ( top 5 last two years, 2 super tour wins this year), Josh Anthon ( 2 NT wins this year), Steve Rico (Japan Open winner) and I could go on and on.

How about a guy like a Markus Kallstrom? How about someone like Adam Olsen who just won a supertour. Michael Johannsen finished top 10 the last two years. What about Scott Martin who was leading after three rounds last year and finished 2nd?

Now, in your defense, unless you list every single registered competitor, then your poll will not be fair. But just listing who you did and then explaining the way you just did is rediculous.

Excuse me for being generic, I was basically looking for players that would come close to being disc golf household names. You and I know that there are plenty more competitors that could win this year. I was basically looking to start a thread that would give every crybaby in the world something to complain about. :D
I would like to point out that there are plenty of quality disc golfers pre-registered for THE event of the year, not complaining about not having their names on the poll! Perhaps they are secure with their game, enough to forego any recognition. Do me a favor cheeseburger, go out this year and win this mo-fo. Mabey next year I will put you on "my pole" :D

MTL21676
Oct 03 2006, 10:22 AM
I really don't like a course with a lot of OB. I don't like the fact that I could throw a good shot and then you could throw the same shot about 2 inches from me and I'm OB and you are IB. I don't think that 2 inches should change a great shot into a poor shot.

Also, I don't like some of the gimic effects of the course (i.e. clowns mouth, bambo wall, hay bales on 17). Just play the course, lowest score wins.

Plus I don't agree with how who is qualifed is determined. I think instead of TD's and state reps, they should look at some B Tiers as qulaifying events. It helps get some nicer B Tiers to be larger events and makes it more fair to players who live in an area (like myself) where the qualifying event is early in the year.

If I get the qualifying spot this weekend in Charlotte, I will decline it.

Please no one read this as "he's just ,mad b/c he didn't qualify" or anything dumb like that. I just don't want to play for these reasons. Also, I would prefer to play the worlds and see new courses. The selection process for who gets into worlds is more fair to everyone and does not penalize a player for mainly playing smaller events.

How is an OB rope and your 2" any different than missing a tree by 2" and kicking 40' into the woods (usually a 2 stroke penalty)?

There are plenty of good merits for how things are done now, and your idea also has plenty of merit.

How are bamboo walls, ropes, and haybales and more artificial than sandtraps, ponds, streams etc in ball golf?

very good point but at least when you kick somewhere in the woods you have a chance to recover by making a great shot. OB prevents the golfer from even getting a chance to recover like he could in the woods.

ck34
Oct 03 2006, 11:11 AM
I agree with MTL regarding the 2 inch difference costing another shot. Unfortunately, we don't have an easy way to create a proportionately more punitive penalty the farther offline you are. Trees are the natural way to produce that effect but Winthrop doesn't have enough of them. Thus, the artificial OB. I think if Harold could produce variable penalties, he would. The bamboo works that way. If you hit it, you don't get a penalty but you probably have a tougher shot and the potential to overcome it with an excellent long putt. It would be nice if we had an easy way to temporarily set up something like ball golf hazards that aren't automatically a penalty but usually make the next throw tougher.

Instead of hazards, you could force players who throw ob to throw their next shot with one knee on the ground. . . that would be somewhat of a penalty in most cases, but would not be an entire stroke.

ck34
Oct 03 2006, 12:09 PM
Forcing a particular type of throw when landing in an area has been rejected by the PDGA course group (of which Harold is a member) as not in the spirit of the game. Creating hazards like deep bunkers where your most appropriate shot selections are limited by the situation is fine. It's just not something you can easily do temporarily for a course setup.

Oct 03 2006, 01:35 PM
The issue of a two inches and one being a good shot and the other O.B. comes up frequently. While mp3 and reaL make good points (that is, you've made a good shot if you're in the middle of the fairway, not close to O.B. and the course is the same for everyone) there is another point to consider. Luck.

I have yet to play any sport where luck does not play a role. As MTL points out, same throw, slight difference, I'm in he's out. Here is the reality. First, to some extent we make our own luck, again, stay in the middle of the fairway and you're O.K. Second, luck balances in the end. Ask any "real" gambler who plays Vegas and they will tell you, over time, the house wins 51% of the time. It's an average. The same thing happens in a tournament. The longer you play, the less that two inch difference matters. This is why many players argue that anything less than a four round tournament leaves too much to random factors.

Over time, all the random events balance and you come to the true winner. MTLs notion that there is "something" wrong with Winthrop misses this point. The course is fair, it's hard, but it's good. The proof is in the pudding. Who wins? Do you see random players who get breaks from the OB rope, the CM, the hay etc. No, the same guys who win big elsewhere win big here.

There are really only two criticisms that merit a look, how you get there (I'm still not convinced that it isn't fair enough) and do you like that style of course. There will be some who don't like the course structure, well, some people still don't like the beveled edge (it has changed the sport you know). I think the best measure of this is what the people who've played say. I've yet to read postings from a large number of participants that say anything but the most glowing things about this course.

But in several of these cases, there's no additional penalty for crossing the line. If you swing and miss or hit a foul ball, it's still a single strike and not an extra strike for landing 2 inches outside the line. Likewise, if you run OB in football, they mark you there and continue versus losing an extra down or getting a 10 yd penalty.

the penalty in hitting a home run on the outside of the foul pole is a penalty of sorts, it costs you a homerun (or 2, 3, 4) and could even cost you an out (if it's your last strike).

No, it's not the same, but then there's skiing, where you get penalized for not going through the gates, or not traversing the course correctly. In skiing, a 2 second penalty is the difference between 1st and 18th.

Oct 03 2006, 02:43 PM
That's not really a fair comparison either if you think of the reasons why we have OB lines at many of our courses.

Many OB lines are there to encourage players to throw in an area we have designed to keep other park users safe. If there were no disincentive, other than a placement back near the area where your disc went OB, as in your football analogy, then more players would throw over these areas with little concern for penalties. This could lead to more unpleasant incidents (hitting cars/people, intrusion in to environmentally sensitive/protected areas, straying on to private property, etc...) which could lead to courses being shut down.

OB lines are not always evil. Sometimes they have our best interests at heart.

ck34
Oct 03 2006, 02:48 PM
I don't think some of us are arguing against "natural" OB, especially in the case of safety. But it's unfortunate that artificial OB with the penalty seems to be our primary option to add challenge to a temporary course layout.

An innovative TD can always come up with something novel when it comes to creatively designed drop zone tee pads for certain types of OB throws. Such multiple drop zones could force a variety of throws, varying it on different drop zones, which would make a very-OB prone player demonstrate that they've got the game to recover from OB by their mastery of the type of shot(s) that is/are forced upon them by the skill-testing Drop Zone Teepad

Oct 03 2006, 03:04 PM
IMO, ob's , mando's and schtuff like that are a true test of the disc golfers ability to control their flight of the disc. Call me crazy, but I was raised with the mind set of "MAY THE BEST MAN WIN" Artificial hazards are just another way of weeding out the best. Anybody can get lucky, not just anybody can be a skilled competitor. If the rules outline specifically that you will be penalized for going o.b. - so be it! We are not playing for participation ribbons. We are playing to win. If you have a problem with that , get back in the welfare line and I will stop by with your ribbon!

There is a solution to all this OB talk. throw discs you can control distances you can control them. Throwing beyond your limits of 100% safety have benefits and consequences. You wouldn't throw across the water 400 feet if you could pitch up 250 feet for a 200 foot across the water shot would you?

It's the same with the OB at Winthrop. If you don't want to go OB, play the hole smart and get your par. It can be done.

I wasn't trying to say anything negative about the course or the best tournament in the world. I was simply answering a question to why I had no desire to play USDGC.

why was that question even asked? oh yeah, this completely unprovoked comment
just for the record, I will not be playing in USDGC nor do I ever want to.

was it necessary to turn a USDGC Prediction Thread into the why doesn't MLT like the best tourney in disc golf thread?

and "for the record" i think this tourney will finally be TTrimmed... the TThumber Pro is on fire-ahhhh

well discboomer basically asumed that I was mad b/c I wasn't on the poll. I then said well I'm not playing nor do I want to. The question was then asked why and away we went....

Not blaming anyone, just stating what happened.

I could say I wish the best of luck to everyone (which I really do) and someone will be like MTL wants everyone to lose.

I learned at a tournament I ran this year that matter what I do people will complain and look at me negatively. So I don't even care anymore. I am super close to not helping any more tournaments just to prove what a valuable assest to the sport and the area I am (I think this was proved at Zebulon when me and Mike Norris refused to do the scores and they were not posted. Instead of asking the TD why they weren't, they immediatly got mad at us).

I'm done, maybe with everything. Who knows.

discboomer was referring to schweb when talking about the poll, that why i was confused as to why you would post that random statement unless you were looking to start a tangent based solely on your "negative" feelings towards the Open.

"for the record" 3 NC pros will finish in the top 10, and 1 LCJ in the ca$h... but where?

I give up. We were having a good discussion on here about OB and yellow rope and everything. My feelings are not negative at all. USDGC is the best tournament in the world, there is no doubt about that. It has by far the highest purse to the winner, a good percentage of players making above 1,000 dollars and treats all the players like true pros.

However, I do not like some of the aspects of the course or how qualification is handled. That is all I have said on this thread, any thread, out loud, anywhere.

I don't put words in anyone's mouth and I would appreciate the same respect.

I admit my imperfections, always have, always will. You on the other hand continue to make drug references during PDGA rounds and continue to slow down the growth of this sport while keeping your cockiness about who you think you are.

Sucks you aren't playing in Charlotte. Good luck at getting ready for the USDGC. No matter what, I will always root for my fellow North Carolinians. I am mature enough to root on my fellow competitor and not try to work another golfer like you did to someone (not me) this weekend.

MTL21676
Oct 03 2006, 06:26 PM
You know what, that was a little over the top. I apologize. However I will leave it up there b/c I don't hide behind what I say.

Anyway.....

One time someone got mad at me in my group b/c I was playing good and didn't talk. One time I was having a horrible round and didn't get angry and just laughed most of the round. I was then told that it got old hearing me laugh. One time I went off and kept talking to myself. I was told it was distracting to the other players to do that. One time I just stepped up and threw my shots and sat down. I was accussed that round of bringing the group down b/c I wasn't caring. One time I asked guys in my group questions about non disc golf things and talked about non disc golf things and was accussed of trying to work the people in my group.

It's a never ending cycle.

Yes, I will admit that this weekend during the third round I was not on my best behaivor. When you tell yourself you need this putt to get going and you pure it and cuts through, it is frustrating, however no excuse for me getting angry.

I'm just gonna do my own thing from now on. I'm not gonna let peoples inability to play with someone who doesn't smile after a bad break change the way I feel when I get a bad break. My approach will be different, but I will always feel the same.

Seriously. I am not trying to be mean. Get some professional help for your selfishness.

And no, making drug references during PDGA rounds is not against the rule, however using illegal substances within a park where it is illegal after the rounds and before the rounds are.

However refering to it when you have someone in the group who does not play disc golf following you like we did Sunday is very rude and makes the sport look horrible. I'm not trying to say my actions were a great representation either. I'm not saying I should be the poster boy for disc golf b/c I do not use drugs. All I am saying is instead of criticizing others, take a long hard deep look at urself. That is if you can remember to do so. Keep on living off the government while you are on the road. Nice noble job you got there.

And I will choose not to tell you who you worked. I want you think REAL hard about that third round and something you may have said that you should never say (not the drug comment). Oh, what is that? You can't? That's right, you're perfect.

MTL's actions on the course are nothing that I would ever want to learn from, or any of my 12-year old fans to copy.

Last year I made a small friendly bet with one of Disc Golf’s LONGtime greatest on who would win at the USDGC. I took Feldberg he took Climo, I won. At World’s this year I made the same bet, same person. I lost and will square up at the 06’ USDGC. This year at the USDGC I will try to work the same bet BUT will put Jenkins or Feldberg against Climo or Schultz. I think Avery truly has the game to take the victory on the Winthrop course and claim the title, but would also be stoked to see Dave become a 2 time Champion and show the world his continued consistency. Longshot to win, and my vote for rookie of the year (and young gun of the year) Nate Sexton.
Team Oregon has my prediction!

As A side note that is when Andrew and first meat _MTL_. Both He and Schweb where great to Andrew. They Talked to him like Grow up about Disc golf, and encourged him keep play no matter what. These two where First real Pro's Andrew ever talked too, For that reason I will also admare these two Guys.

MTL...I like to play rounds with you...I like a little cookiness to distract me and help me remember that it is a game we play because we enjoy the ups as well as downs... Btw, if you look for things that bother you during tournament play, you will find them...I think your reputation is based on after round stories, and the people who havent played with you are on radar duty, looking for their own. So give them stories MTL...just not ones where you can be stroked. LOL...i am serious though...First round at Jo's Nest: MTL, Stan, Sjur and swede. Fine group for me....

I had the chance to bunk up with sprauge in athens this year, what a good guy. Good golfer too, he is soooo level headed. I love watching him switch up lefty/righty.

No disc-respect to any other golfer,but my prediction is Brian Skinner you better watch out for him ,he will sneak up on ya..
remember he shot the highest rated round EVER 1117.He is also ZONED to the max for this tourney.Plus he will have the caddie in the world Zilla

BIGrock, You just made it hard for me to predict a win. I would love to see the ring come to NC. I Had the honor of taking pictures for a ript tournament last year on spectator day that Brian "Schweb" Schweberger won, "Most likly he don't remember me" But, what can I say, he a great Guy, I wish him all the luck, But it's had not to pull for the CHAMP.

>>>Insert several beers here.... "Timmy made me do it!"

As A side note that is when Andrew and first meat _MTL_. Both He and Schweb where great to Andrew. They Talked to him like Grow up about Disc golf, and encourged him keep play no matter what. These two where First real Pro's Andrew ever talked too, For that reason I will also admare these two Guys. Mabe it's a father thing Andrew had been Playing only 6 months at the time of the USPDGA Championship last year. Look at Andrew now.

There is no pre registration for qualifying. It's just show up and try.

I know that Craig Leyva (who was on the lead card in the final round the year of Kenny and Barry's playoff), Justin Jernigan and Larry Leonard will all be out trying to grab a spot.

I'm not trying to be cocky(so ease up on slamming me please?) I have a very confident attitude, which every golfer should have in this type of situation.

Kris KO Orrick is playin' great golf lately and I know he wants redemption for last year: and BigMan Will Schusterick has already told his teachers he's going to be out all week. Only 14 years old, but can play with anyone. Represent fellas. We'll see ya on Saturday for the finals.

It may be time for Steve Rico to break through and get a major. Also as far as darkhorses I will take Haney and Schweb, I think they are ready to take the last step into greatness. And you know what? Could not happen to better guys.

The yellow ropes are a WHOLE different ballgame. The playing field changes drastically when the potential to go out of bounds lurks on nearly every shot.
