The Mighty Yadkin Open
A two day, 72 hole, PDGA C Tier Disc Golf Tournament
at Yadkin County Park, Yadkinville, NC
Saturday-Sunday, 11-12 November 2006
Player meeting Saturday 9:30, Sunday tee 9:00

All PDGA Divisions with three or more players will be available. Entry fees: $40 Pro divisions, $35 Advanced divisions, $30 all other divisions. Non PDGA members add $5. First place trophy awarded for each division.

There will be CTP's on all holes, five of which will be Mark Susi, WVO style, custom maple mini's sporting the "shield Y" YDGC logo inset in glow acrylic. Go to the WVO site if you aren't familiar with Mark's beautiful work. A sponsor has added $100 cash to the Open division. All total over $500 in sponsorship for the event thus far. A dollar ace pool fee is included in entry fee with $70 carry over in ace pool from last years event. If you have other questions please contact the TD, Todd Gillihan, at (336)760-1410 or trgtaxman@aol.com

Right now we are set up to go with either an 18 or 24 hole configuration depending on the size of the field. A few changes to the course over the last year, nothing major but more pin positions and a new soccer field encroaching on the hole #9 and #10 area. If a large field requires temp holes I think you will be pleased with what Mole and Todd have come up with. A fair bit of activity in last few weeks with many teepads being reshaped and in some cases rebuilt.

Accomodations - There is a Days Inn within a mile of the course and camping is available courtesy of a couple of local private course owners. :cool:

Really looking forward to doing this again. Y'all come see us!!! Should be a big old time.

can't wait for this one again

Yet another amenity the club has added for the MYO is beer sales within the town limits. :eek: ;) We lobbied heavily for the passage of the referendum on beer sales and an ABC store. Well OK, all we did was talk about it a lot on the course and say that'd be nice if it happened and we'd definitely buy some too and most likely in town since we don't like to drive very far.......... Actually I don't think any of us even voted.... But we thought about it. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D Anyway now we have beer in town. :D

Thanks for keeping it in mind maybe you need to become Mayor

No doubt you are from the Tejas chapter of RCU........ River Critters United. :D

Are the baskets currently in the "tournament " position? If not, when will they be there? TIA Dave

I'm betting they will use several variations of basket placements for this one.

Good morning Dave. How was the golf at Winthrop yesterday? Y'all were coming off #16 as we were walking from #6 pin to #7's tee. Heck of a course isn't it. And you couldn't ask for a better setting or better weather to play it in than we had yesterday.

The pin positions for the tournament will actually be decided by a couple of different factors, not the least of which will be the size of the field. If the field is large enough and we need extra holes to accomodate, then most of the pins will stay in the same positions for all rounds. Without the temp holes the pins will most likely be moved between rounds or at the end of the day on Saturday. Those decisions will primarily be made by James "Mole" Wallace and Todd. That being said the positions that the pins are in right now are probably what you will see in the first round with only a couple of exceptions. If things change I'll try to post. :cool:

Thanks Jamie! Unfortunately, I was not there Sunday, but David was lucky enough to have Wyatt Coggins offer to take him. I had to work otherwise, I'd have been there too :-(

Next year, I'll have to set some more time aside. Thanks again for the info on the course layouts. I hope to take David and play the course a couple times before the MIGHTY Yadkin Open lol

Regardless of the pin positions, the course is playing hard right now! My last round there was double digits over...Ouch!
Everyone thank the local boys for the work they have done on the T-pads. I hear they will be back at it this Saturday...Sorry I can't make it to help :(.
Mayor Riverdog! I agree it has a good ring, maybe we should skip Mayor and go straight for Pres....there is an election coming up in a few years. You have 2 votes and a few bucks to start the campaign. :D

A little bird told me that you guys had a successful workday this past weekend. Thanks to all the folks who "putt" in there time! I'm looking forward to getting down there someday this week and fully appreciating all the hard work.

The Yadkinville Open is only 3 weeks away, Oh my!

Can I sign up for Adv. and play right handed because my left is recked for the year or longer. BS

if you renew with the pdga right now you can go back to ADV and do whatever you want

That's not likely buddy.

BS, bummer to hear about your arm. I'm hoping that regilous stretching practices before throwing keep me in the game for a long time. Then again, there's a lot more to worry about. Maybe Dr. Arnold can help you out with that? :D

Look on the bright side, throwing righty side arm will only make you a better player!

On the dark side, you may someday have to throw in the towel and live the rest of your life volunteerly promoting disc golf events for the PDGA. :D:D

Awwww maaaaannn.... I can't literally feel your pain, but you are getting older, young feller...... ;) :D Just a little humor to knock down the prostaglandin level and raise your endorphins a bit. :cool: If you're going to be throwing righty you might want to get down to Y'town and do some right hand tamping on the teepads to build up your strength. Course you've probably already moved to right hand at-home 'tamping'. Yup, I know, comedians are a dime a dozen, but a smartass with over fifty years experience is a work of art. :D Seriously though BS, sorry to hear about the bad wing. PM me if you need quality control advice. I work cheap.

Just shot the back nine at Glen -3. Righty turbo putt was on. the front was a different story. BTW I get right on promoting those tournies. DiscRoast this weekend. First official righty tourney (tourney is stretching it)

Should be at the park tomorrow around noonish. If anybody is interested in caddying? :D

Just got mail from the TD and the MYO is over half full at forty. If you are planning to come, do your best to pre-register by election day so we can make plans for plan B or plan C, extra holes to be added for over 72 people. We'll need to have those hole locations approved by Park Director, etc. Looking forward to it boys and girls. :cool:

Had a fun time playing the course the other day. What a peaceful and beautiful park! The course and teepads are looking good!

Only 2 weeks away til the ALMIGHTY YADKINVILLE OPEN!

bump ta da bump bump

Anything going on this weekend?

wish i could be there jamie :(

Sunday dubs at, I think, 2:00. AcePool over $300, not sure how much over. I was otherwise occupied. Some pretty righty flicks BS. Take care of that other wing. I take it the car held together long enough for you to get Mutt back from whence he came. :D

wish i could be there jamie :(



You can. It hasn't filled and I-95 still runs south. ;) /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D Come see us when you can. :cool:

May come out there on way to charlotte. (not really on way but 300 is nice) Didn't shut it off until muks house.

I plan to get in but still waitin on the check in the mail. :( I'll send off to TD by the big day to ensure a new direction! Hope the DR wasn't to taxing on the limited resources.
I'm looking forward to seeing the new T-boxes and hangin w/you Yadkinites! :cool: Sorry can't make doubles; work @ the Bay calls.

are there gonna be friday doubles on the 10th?

Hi timmy. it would have to be early with daylight saving time. Jamie

yo brad, you really playing advanced righty side-arm? lol..

i also have a disc that you might be interested in next time i see you.

It looks as though the High Country will have four representative's this year! :) I predict a win!

My check will be in the mail tomorrow.

But aren't you worried about your blood sludging at these low elevations? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D

We're all abunch of flat lander transplants so that shouldn't be the excuse for our sludginess. :D Atleast this time of year the playing conditions down yonder should be better.

Just in case though, I also plan to come prepared with a few tasty pints of my favorite anti-sludge formula. :)

fx

WHY ARE YOU PLAYN NOVICE BECAUSE I KNOW THE YADKINETTES HAVE SOME INT BAGGERS AND I'VE GOT ADV ON LOCK

Bradley, I'll be playing advanced as well. Your lock is gone. I make more money selling plastic, it's my new career. :D

Good morning boys and girls. Registration rocking on along, over 50 now. If you are thinking about a practice round, First Sunday Singles, ordinarily held at Ramcat, will be held at Yadkin County Park this Sunday at 2:00 pm. Sunday Ace Pool is over $300. Come see us! :cool: Test the fit of those Advanced shoes maybe PP? Maybe wade into the deep end of the Advanced pool Bradley? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D

Singles this Sunday, even better.

Boo. Atleast I was going to play righty. Are you playn left handed?

Boo. Atleast I was going to play righty. Are you playn left handed?



PP, have you seen him flick righty? The boy has some game. :eek: :D

All I need now is the FX that went off his ankle for my Tommy and I'm atleast a 915 rated rightie. Are you going to be there Sunday? May try an early Ridge round b4 Ted Williams.

Yup, come on by the ridge. I'm on call and should be there. If not, you know your way around. Enjoy. As long as things are quiet I'll be at singles.

I got some lefty action for ya BS, but my flick lefty suxxx! Guaranteed 5 at least per hole if I have to bust that out. I think I will be heading up Sunday. C-ya then boyz! Oh yeah, can I pay then to save the money for a stamp????? :D

You've seen my lefty sidearm (maybe the worst ever but the grunt is amazing). Second on paying Sunday.

I'll check in with Todd to see if he's going to be there Sunday. Either way we'll get the coin to his purse.

Also the Days Inn is giving a special Disc Golfer rate of $55. Just mention the Yadkin Open.

I like to smoke lefty :D

Third on the Sunday pay.

What is the address to mail checks to?

You obviously never found it.

TRG Professional Services
2821 Hall Lane
Winston Salem, NC. 27127

$40 Pro, $35 Adv., $? everyone else :D

I'm still thinking about bailing on Sunday at Ashe Park and going down to Yadkinville? You still interested? If you're still coughing up a lung, no thanks! :D

e-mail TD at trgtaxman@aol.com I'll check to see if I have a physical addy when I'm at work tomorrow.

Starting to fill. If you are wanting a spot be sure to use trgtaxman@aol.com and let the TD know.

Address for entries and checks is Todd Gillihan, 2821 Hall Lane, Winston Salem, NC 27127

And as I said, it is filling up. Last year even some locals didn't get in because they thought things would still be open the morning of. Don't risk it. Holler, e-mail, see ya Sunday, whatever......... don't miss it. It'll be a big old time for sure. :cool:

One more for Adv in the mail today. See ya'll Sunday

One more for pro masters- check is in the mail. See ya next week.

Good deal Rob. As a Pro-Master you'll definitely get to see the Chicken Wang Thang. :D

What's the deal on Sunday? Other than a chance at $300!

Entry fee? Divisions? Payout?

Just curious, I think some of us High Country folks are going to invade Yadkinville!

Senator Glenn is handling that. At Ramcat it has been Pro and Am, but the crowd will probably be larger with the MYO coming up and the acepool etc. Fees will be nominal with a small percentage going to the club and the rest in payout. No PDGA formula applied for club singles. It's a work in progress with fairness to competitors and common sense drawing the lines. :) :D

Senator Glenn is handling that. and common sense drawing the lines. :) :D


Glenn and common sense are you serious

Gotta stick up for the honorable Senator on this one. He is the resident "idiot savant" when it comes to numbers and directions. The boys head is a veritable atlas, containing all the courses he's ever played on, homegrown and public. And when they worked on basic fractions in the third grade in Kingsport he was apparently taught at gunpoint, because he definitely took it to heart. :cool:

He looked like a genius Sunday morning or was that afternoon

....ahhhhh. Touche, mon-sewer... You do, of course, have a point :p

:p :D

What do you want? See if Todd can put us in same group

Missed you at DR Rizzzzzzo. On the other hand, it may have saved us having to send out a search party to find you with Big Air and JG when they were "stuck" on #2...... :D:D:D

Oh I didn't hear about that one. You'll hav3 to fill me in.

How's the shoulder BS?

So what's the dealio this w/e? sorry I'm late to the post. :D

First Sunday Singles at Y'ville, 2:00, ace pool $300+, all DR details require "need to know" :cool:

tHE DEALIO IS being in Yadkin County Sunday.

A small contigent will be making the drive from CLT. OK, a large one.

PS Watchout for that BS Wright guy in advanced. He ain't even got a PDGA #. He must be baggen. :D

If you like to gamble, I imagine you have a better chance at hitting an Ace in Yadkinville this Sunday, then winning the lottery! If you don't play though, you can't win! Ace Jackpot over $300!

You better bet we're all going basket high tomorrow! :)

I'm IN...the wright check is in the mail to TD or Todd G. :D Bring it BS & TP
I have to second the support of Senator Glen, usually sense and JG don't mix kinda like oil and water, but when it comes to golf he's opperatin wit a full deck. ;) Musta been the learning at the end of a shotgun shack.
Put me on that card with the Willie Nelson fans; I need some of them stacks! :p

See ya'll next weekend Carolina; Friday doubles at 3pm?

Good deal "Yustann". How 'bout we put you on the card with the North Mississippi Allstars fans? :cool::cool:

Not sure what's up for Friday dubs. I'll post though when I hear one way or the other. You gonna bed down at the ridge?

I'm down with the Allstars, anytime! Do it to it!:cool:

I'll probably stay out w/ Mr. Stack and the hanging target.

Big old afternoon of First Sunday Singles. Thirty seven folks showed with 19 of those being Pros. The Real BS took low round of the day with a five down throwing primarily righty flicks apparently only stooping to lefty throws five or six times. Maybe the course will play easier with the warmer temps we are supposed to have next weekend. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

63 signed up for the MYO so be sure to let Todd know if you intend to be there. Looks like right now he will be going with Plan C - three rounds of 21 holes each with a final nine hole round played by the top fifty percent of each division. The three temp holes are very cool with the first of those being a "short" downhill 380' parallelling #9's fairway. This is followed by a short uphill tunnel shot and a long flat shot back across to old tonepole #17 position. All in all a fun and challenging layout. Don't miss it. :cool:

so BS beats out all the pro's in singles and is still playing advanced in the tourney? lol

BS, for when you really need an Incorrigible Invalid. ;) /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D

Don't worry Timmy I'll be playn Open this weekend. Alot of the the people that played Pro yesterday are playn ADv in the tourney. Just hope the wind doesn't kick up but will still throw mostly Wright handed.

I played with Mr. Wright yesterday, and he's still putting lefty. As long as that happens, he could flick it with his toes and be a factor. :D

yeh i figured. its already a very deep adv field anyways, even without BS. i can't wait!!!

anyway, what do you have of mine? And do I need to bring something to trade for it? Because it could change the whole outcome of the tournament.

Thanks for the great round of golf yesterday RiverDog and JG!

3 out of the 5 High Country hurlers cashed, 3rd in Pro, 2nd in Adv., 1st. in Int.! Just had to throw that in!

Good shootin BS. You freak of nature boy with your left/right arm controversy and new hippie VW wagon. :D

Registration list is looking impressive in deed! Can't believe Warren Haynes is playing int. JG must of been plucking some strings there. :D

Looking forward to it!

i have recently acquired a new 175 soft wizard. i figured you might be interested.

Thanks Timmy, I'll take it. Still looking for a beat Fx. Don't want to use a new one yet with all the leaves on the ground.

Speaking of losing discs in the leaves, Todd Lion lost a brownish/reddish Beast on hole 11 yesterday.

Probably not the best color to be throwing this time of year.
I guess you get what you deserve. Sorry TL, it should be kicked up eventually and hopefully returned to soon be lost again. Sometime's you just need a new disc!

it was just a warmup now i know what discs i need to throw out there i can't wait

It's a nice thought Todd-1, but Todd-2's disc is most likely gone to the elephant graveyard. If it was terrestrial it would be found eventually, but his was probably subaquatic (under the bottom detritus) or sub terrestrial (under the stream bank). Creek trolls like camo discs. :p

Enjoyed the round yesterday. Good vibes all around. Except for those throwing camo discs of course. But shoot Todd L., now you can just concentrate on throwing that yellow JLS. You throw it so well you don't need any other discs. :)

For some reason im in Masters on the pre-reg list
its only 21 years away

Keep them cards and letters coming in. TD says we will move to Plan B if we clear 90 preregs before the day is out and right now that looks like a strong possibility. Plan B is three rounds of 24 with 6 temps holes. Still gotta clear the six hole plan with parks director. We shall see. Yeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! :D

thats sick.. this is shaping up to be a really good tournament!

hooooooahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Bo Rat. :D

TD just decided on Plan B which is the three rounds of 24 using the standard eighteen plus 6 temp holes. I'll give you details on the temps as soon as we have them. Gonna be killer. :cool:

The more the merrier! :)

It looks to be a sunrise to sunset Saturday! JG better pace himself! :D

what time does all this start on Saturday. With all that goof on Sat., Sunday will def be righty.

whatd you do to your arm anyways brad?

"The plan is pretty simple. It is going to get dark on us during round 2. When the sun goes down I will suspend play. Since it's not an emergency, all players will finish the hole that they are playing on. We will collect the scorecards, and pass them back out on Sunday morning. At 9 AM round 2 will continue. There is a chance for thunderstorms on Saturday, so it might get suspended by something other than darkness anyway. CTP's will be for Round 1, then new CTP's for round 3. There will not be CTP's in round 2. We will try to get in as many holes as possible on Saturday. Tee times are 10 AM, Sat, 9 AM Sunday. If you haven't pre-paid, please check in by 9 AM to keep your spot. The players meeting is 9:30......"

The above directly from the TD's keyboard to your screen. We have four Discatcher Sports lined up for temp holes and need two more. Just holler at Todd and let him know if you can provide yours for the weekend. MYO coming your way. :cool:

Wow That's new

Cam we play through slow groups to get done. It has happened on the pga tour.

It sounds like to me, since light may be an issue, that moving the tee time to 9 AM on Saturday might be a better solution. Just my 2 cents.

Cam we play through slow groups to get done. It has happened on the pga tour.



...ummmm.... ahhhhhh..... errrrr..... How do I put this delicately? You're a cripple, you will be a slow group. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif ;) Sorry that was my best shot at subtlety. :D

R u planning on attending?

No, won't be coming.

agreed, we are gonna need all the daylight we can get.

It still doesn't amount to more than 36 holes which is what we would be doing with two 18 hole rounds, just with time apportioned differently. I'm going to be out of the office for about three hours. All those decisions are going to be made by Todd anyway so, trgtaxman@aol.com It'll all be good :cool:

My vote is to finish round 2 on Sat.

second

I am not sure you can "suspend play" and then allow people to finish holes they were on at the same time.
804.4 Rain or Hazardous Conditions
A. If, in the opinion of the director, excessive rain or hazardous conditions exist that make it impractical or dangerous to continue play, the tournament shall be suspended. The signal to suspend play shall be the same as the signal to start

B. Players shall immediately stop play and mark the lie of each member of the group. A natural object is sufficient to mark the approximate lie from which the player shall resume play. Players shall then return to the first teeing area, clubhouse, or area designated by the director.

C. Players shall resume play from their approximate lies as established when the round was halted. The approximate lie is determined by a majority of the group.

I was thinking about attemding this event but now it looks as though I might be happier to sit out. That sucks too because I have heard really good things about the course.

Scotty, It's a really nice course and environment. Don't let my comments and those of others or format change your mind. This club has put alot of work into this courses and I wish more play would come enjoy it. Eventhough i don't like the idea of stopping in the the middle of my hott second round unless it is weather related. With 21 holes I believe we could get it in and we'd only have 3 unREAL holes. Unless there's more then 105 I don't understand the need to have 24 holes. Temp holes suck in my opinion.

Unless there's more then 105 I don't understand the need to have 24 holes.



ding ding ding!

I love Yadkinville, it's a beautifull course and hole 9 is one the best holes you will ever see.

However, past incidents make me stay away from this event. The club really should appoint someone to run thier tournaments within thier club (like Jamie). If that ever happens, I would love to come back to Yadkinville and play one of the most beautifull courses in NC

Unless there's more then 105 I don't understand the need to have 24 holes.





I love Yadkinville, it's a beautifull course and hole 9 is one the best holes you will ever see.





But with the Temp holes we're only playing 9 short. (It's like 160) Big Fn Booo

Not playing long 9 is a serious travesty.

Brent,

I have wanted to play there for a while just have not had a chance. I understand about temp holes (we used 2 at the DEPC this year). They were there just to get everyone in if needed. We only had 86 players but it also eased up some of the groups from having 5somes. At some point you have to say "no more holes, I am sorry you can't get in this event. You should have preregistered." This is coming from me who has waited to register because of finding lodging for the event (both my hookups are out of town or unavailible). If I had gotten there Friday and been told no because it is full, I would have said "my fault, I should have registered".
I hope to make it to the course on Friday and play a round, but I doubt I will play the event (lodging and round logistics) but who knows I might get lucky and change my mind. I hope the event goes well and everyone has a great time.

Will let Brent Know.

I too have heard it is a great course, however my loyalty is to my organization, and we are having our monthly this Sat, so as a member, I will support it. It is no secret that we too here in Sanford have a great course. For any that cannot get in the Yadkin, Sanford O T Sloan Park, our monthly. 0930 players mtg, 1000 tee time.

Redundancy is good, redundancy is good, redundancy is good..... :D

Jesus Murphy guys, I was only gone a couple or three hours. I'll address the #9 thing and then maybe wander further afield. I agree #9 is one of the more classic disc holes I have ever run across - distance, elevation, vegetation - it's pretty much got most of what you want. I think it was Mole, myself and Big Air standing where #9's tee is now and I looked down the soon to be fairway and said, "Aw man, look at that line down to that cedar." "You mean way to (heck) and gone down yonder?" "Yup!" So I have a vested interest in the hole and would like to see it in there myself. But the short #9 is a great, subtle short hole. Run it too hard and you're struggling to come back for your par and forget the bird. That one was Mole's, and I didn't like it either when he first proposed it, but after playing it, he's right. It's a good short hole.

Now on to the temps. Parallelling #9's fairway and measuring 380' is the first temp hole, a very similar though shorter shot to standard long #9 with the additional feature of a steep slope 30-40' behind the pin dropping onto the new soccer field. Run this hole too hard on your drive and you're struggling for a bogey. Cool hole for an "Fn temp". Some of the others are just as good, some aren't.

Look, I'm not on here to act as an apologist for Todd or the club. I'm on here because I, like a bunch of other folks in Yadkin and surrounds, have busted my hump for a couple or three years to get to the point where we can invite all our buddies in the disc community to come here and do what we wanted to do in the beginning and to the present day - :D :cool:Have FUN!!! :cool::D That's pretty much it in a nut shell. Soooooooo, come on and play some golf with us, relax, laugh and have a good time.

Scotty, It's a really nice course and environment. Don't let my comments and those of others or format change your mind. This club has put alot of work into this courses and I wish more play would come enjoy it....



Thanks Bradley. :cool:

And a clarification just in from PDGA's David Gentry - if the field is divided in half with 1/2 the course being played by people in the same division on the same day and switch to the second half on the second day, no problem, still counts as one round for scoring. This way everyone in the same division plays the same holes on the same day. See, I told you it was a simple game. :)

As the ol saying goes, "You can't please everyone."

Those that aren't pleased, probably aren't going to have fun.

And, if you aren't having fun, then you shouldn't be playin.

If you aren't playin, then those of us that are will have a much better time, and get done a lot faster too! :D

Yadkinville's philosopy is the way disc golf otta be, FUN!

I love it!

so is the first round 24 then 12. With shotgun first how does the same div. play the same holes if it's a random finish time.
ex. I start on 1 (obviously) and play through 12.
third card Pro starts on 3 and plays through 15
how are we playn the same holes?

PDGA events aren't supposed, you haven't figured that out yet. You need to come down the mountain more.

sounds like a disaster in the making

What up wil? Stay to your Newport thread, you don't live here no more.

BS, sorry I didnt recignize you earlier. I was going by the PDGA name associated with the screen name LOL. Good luck this weekend.

Thanks, maybe I'll see ya on Friday. You should really come though, it's always a good time with the Yadkinettes. I trusted them to figure this out. I believe the Mooky's Cup had a load of peeps but more daylight.

There was over 100 and we played 21 holes.

We finished just at dark, but I remember the awards being in pitch black.

What up wil? Stay to your Newport thread, you don't live here no more.



what up brad, I hope I didn't offend anyone, I just don't see how this is going to work without any issues coming up but I honestly hope the TD(s) can get everything worked out cause I got some VA boys coming to take your money :D

That's why I'm discussing it now so no issues like last yr. (which I still don't fully understand) come up. I love added cash send them down.

Brief summary, without trying to create any mess...

A proposed payout was posted that inlcuded the open players recieving 5 dollars for last cash, 10 for next to last and stuff like that.

After the tournament was through, there was a 3 way tie for last cash. B/c of this, the number of golfers being paid changed.

And that is why I and others are not playing this event. It has nothing to do with the club the course or anyone in Yadkin, just the individual running it.

Whatever, I'd play if they paid out in food stamps.

It has nothing to do with the money. In fact, I actually had no problem with the amount of money being paid out other than I felt it was a little insulting to those near the bottom of the payout. Despite that, the money added up and the payout was approved by the PDGA. However, this year, that could not be done due to the payouts being mandated now.

It was the principal of the payout changing.

It's all good. Whenever there is a NC tournament and people like myself and Kirk Yoo, both who play close to 30 event a year, are not coming, that tells you something

Good luck to all involved this weekend!

I can see that it is really hurting them too. Maybe that's why it's so FULLLLLLLLL.

a good course with good people will always draw a lot of people.

however, a good course with good people and a good TD will draw more.

Again whatever, there's already too many! Why are you even on this thread? Never mind because that will require a response.

This is a public forum on a public discussion board that allows anyone with a PDGA membership to post on.

As an active PDGA member, I have this right.

Good luck to the almost 100 people playing the YO this weekend. This time of year may be the best time to play this awesome course.

:)Now by god, we're having fun :D

"is it your RIGHT to bring up old issue and to BASH other TD's?"

was posted by J_SUN and then deleted.

I would like to respond.

There are only 2 TD's I have ever bashed.The close 100 other tournaments I have played I have done nothing but praise TD's for all thier work. All those threads are public as well, and I will be glad to research and pull up all those posts I have made.

You may not like that I do it, but I have the right. It's in the constitution.

No I think it's because you like to stick your nose into everything.

That is your opinion, and it is valued.

It's funny that the people that complain about me are the ones that I never see running events and usually see constantly breaking PDGA rules.

Hickory Classic 05 (run smooth with awesome payout) oh yeah you were there and took 100 for last cash
If I break a rule I quit Ashevile 05
Havent indulged during PDGA event you attended in 2 years. (I try to stay away from them) Anything else.
Get REAL buddy and some facts

I'm sorry you miss tournaments that I play - you are missing some of the best.

Thanks for all your work in the Hickory tournament. At the end of 2005, there was a thread about what your favorite evetns of the year were. I put the Hickory Classic in there and talked about how much work had been done to prepare for the event.

better yet
GET A LIFE!!!

here we go again

See how all the tournament energy has left since he came on here. Bad KARMA and MOJO in that you. Can't wait. Excited about extra holes and finishing early.

hes good at stealing ALL the positive energy from a thread.

Todd G is a friend, and I am playing this weekend, and I will have fun. In that spirit, if Todd asked me (which he didn't) but if he did ;), I'd say that I prefer to play 2 rounds of 18 holes and that if folks don't preregister, too bad. That's life. We're all old enough to see the fairness in that.

Filling a tournamnet just tells me that disc golf is becoming more popular and can afford higher entry fees to support higher payouts for those who do play and to reward the TD of a well run event. It also adds to the reputation of an event to fill it early.

21 holes seems unconventional to me, but not too big a deal. When one adds so many holes that rounds have to be cut in half due to darkness, well that changes everything - literally.

I'm not so good anyway, and play mostly for the pleasure of it, so it will have minimal impact on me. I can see the point others have made here though.

So Jay Land, who is not playing the event, can come on the thread and say negative things about another player but I can't say anything about the tournament?

Find a dictionary and look up hypocrit.

you are making comments about a certain person not the tourney, remember?

and how do you know i'm not going?

This will be my last post on this thread.

Good luck to everyone - a big field on a great course is awesome to see.

I totally agree with what Dave said - tournaments coming close to capacity left and right show the growth of this sport. I am happy that I am around to see something I care so much about grow to the point it has now.

Find a dictionary and look up hypocrit.

you first

Public Announcement
Stay off thread if not playing, however, if 1% unsure please post.

This will be my last post on this thread.

make sure this one doesn't get "lost".

im not playing and im posting. eat it. wolverines suck

The posts on this page alone are worth the price of admission. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D

UMMMMMMMMMM Tasgall

i like TAGale!

2 free ones after nex weekend.

It looks like I missed a lot of FUN earlier!

Another thread infected by the MTL virus :D

MTL, I guess I will use my constitutional right to tell you what an #$*&$! you have been on this thread. For goodness sake you're not even playing! If you want to make a positive difference in the sport, and I know you do, keep some of your opinions to yourself, or give it up. It might actually be good for your health too. You crossed the line, ALL TD's deserve respect (period). Especially before the tourney even begins! :D Ease up dude. The TD might not be perfect, but at least their trying to make us all happy! Which seems impossible with you (at times). I don't give a squat how much you do where you live. You're two year old attitude (at times) needs an adjustment! Stay off this thread with yo negitive bad self!

That said, Yadkinville is the place to be this weekend, and we all know why, it's going to be a whole heck of a lot a FUN! :) Looking forward to whatever format you guys have to do! :)

Man, you are right BS. ;)

OK..that pic is pricelss.

BS, I have to go to Innova first to drop off some stuff so only depends on time if I can play on Friday. As for the event, I have to look at lodging. Also since the DEPC, I have not had a weekend to chill at mi casa. My wife, the dog and I will be in tow so hopefully we can make it out and play Friday.

Heard from Big Air a bit ago and he and Eddie "Roc n Roll" Snody installed five new kick derriere benches on the course this afternoon. Word on the street is they are suitable for waiting out the lengthiest of backups and will accomodate an entire fivesome. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Understood, Sometimes it's nice to relax.
ExACTLY hIPPIE

Good morning. Hope everyone got a good nights sleep. Just relax, take a deep breath and it's all gonna be good. :cool: For the split round the course will be divided in half. The temp holes are Y, A, and D in the amphitheather bowl, and K, I, and N on the back side of the course. If you start the second round on say #3, when you get to #9, or #D you go back to #1 just like you would with an eighteen hole course except we are playing twelve hole halves for the twenty four hole course. Yup, we will be tracking daylight but just roll with it and everything will be fine. The discs are gorgeous, we have CTP's for virtually every hole of the first and third rounds, some of which are really killer CTP prizes with values in the fifty to sixty buck range. Come to the player meeting with an open mind and pay attention and then spend the day having a great big old time outside. :D

It will be a good day, with Coltrane playn all the way to work. Don't worry people I deal with these people all day at work. Just wish I didn't have to with disc golf. Kinda takes the fun out of it. Hope Format works but will be Fun never the less.

Now dat's de spirit!

If you like Coltrane, sample Derek Trucks "Crow Jane". Good stuff!

And the Trizis tryn to get me off here. Alittle "My favorite Things" would cheer him up. GO Yadkinettes. He won't break me. Mayb BS will make a reappears.

Which allows me to say, "Naw sir, but I'd like to." (Also the punch line to the question we get asked a lot, "Have you ever kissed an old smelly, green toothed mule right square in the mouth?") :D

:D:D:D

old smelly, green toothed mole? or mule?

mole wanted to kiss me, so I just kicked over his last milwaukees best; he got all mad and went to dig more pin placements. :)

There's gotta be like, what?, thirty pin placements on every hole now? I've been trying to sell that approach up here. **** yankees won't listen! :D

Heading out for the weekend. Hope ya'll have a great time!

Be well. Please send along my salutations to the YDGC crew.

peace

Awwww man, you gonna make me cry.... I luv you man. :D

Are ju crying??? There's no crying in disc golf!!!!! Unless of course you have to play all four rounds of a tourney with MTL, that's worth a good cry and a look at long-term counseling! :D

Ju coming this weekend. I din't mean with you r little girlie either.

Just did. but I might get up to Yackvegas to say hello and drink Rizzo's beer! You are 100% sure MTL won't be there, right?

BTW AMAZING LUNCH OR BREAKFAST TODAY.

Big old wind yesterday. Unbelievable tournie for Beav, only 3 bogeys all weekend in way less than ideal conditions, especially Sunday. Todd said he'd post scores sometime today.

Hope everyone had a good time. The club looks forward to seeing you all again next year... Shoot, maybe even a few more of you. :cool:

Scores-R-Up

I'd like to thank my sponsors........... :D

Seriously, Thanks to everyone who contributed to making the YO a success and a goodtime! The Yadkinville Club did a fabulous job getting the course ready, and helping Todd G. tackle some of the responsiblities of TD. Despite some irrational opinion's, TG deserves a special thanks for taking on challenge's that nobody else wished to handle (at least to my knowledge). Considerating all the circumstances, he did a fine job. And, like many of the folks I played with this weekend experienced, a few lessons are going to come out of this, and only make for a better experience/tourney next year! :D:)

The high winds definitely were the story this weekend, and the scores are a reflection of that.

Alan B. blew us all away with his stellar preformance! We avoided the rain, but he brought the lighting!!

Congratulations to all the Winner's, and thanks to all the loser's! :D :D

Let it be noted, that for the first time in as long as I have been a mountaineer (7yrs), the High Country of NC has some competitors to be proud of. All 4 reps. cashed! Could this be a sign of what the new Ashe Park course, in Jefferson, NC. is capable of producing? You better believe it! ;)

Looking forward to next year! :)

Jamie,

Thanks to all for the work that went into the MYO. While our wind burnt cheeks and second round confusion may have masked our appreciation, it was a pleasure to play your course and hang out with members of the most hospitable club around. I even learned how to hyzer a Wildcat and get a 90 degree tunrover (25 mph cross wind required).

I know I'm late reading the pre-tourney fireworks, but I would like to make one comment. One should not jump to the conclusion that the requset on the top post on page 16 to "Find a dictionary and look up hypocrit (sic)" was in any way mean-spirited. It was just a plea for a spell check. If the joke was intentional, then well played, sir, you got me.

Congrats to the winners. Looking forward to the '07 MYO.

Dan

Sounds like the Yadkin was a great time wish I could have been there, however , I must support my local club at OT Sloan and our monthly. Did the winds remind any of Jacksonville/Richlands?

The open holes were definately comparable to some of the bad days Ive played in the tournaments at Richlands, it was pretty crazy I had a monster flip way right thrown with slight hyzer.

One last thing!

From now on could you please refer to me as MT.TODD. Unfortunately for MTL, he's undeserving of the title. There's only one Mtn. range in NC., and I'm on it! :p

Unfortunately for #$*&$!, he's undeserving of the title.



You are correct, his name is ROBERT.

One last thing!

I have no problems sharing the title MT. Todd :D

This will be my last post on this thread.



we knew that wasn't going to happen.

Robert Leotard: Disc Golfs biggest ASSet.

I've gotta say I enjoyed the tournament this weekend. The wind pretty much kicked my a** but it was a learning experience. The course looked good.
It was by far my worst tourney, but I still enjoyed the course and the people. I�ll definitely be back next year.

Chris

Course did look good and the pad were Gr8. Hopefully no crossing fairways next year without the Snatcher. must practice 180-230 drive.
