Anyone can tell me about American Sign Language interpreters provide for AM World? During Player's meeting, announcements and etc? I want to know what's going on during the whole week because I am Deaf. So are two more Deaf players, too.

DGA has stepped up with a pretty unbelievable deal regarding the chance to win 18 blood red Mach III baskets (http://discgolfassoc.com/discs-am-squall.html) for the Am Worlds in Wisconsin. Everyone should buy at least ONE of these squalls so you can say you have the chance to win an entire course (while supporting Am Worlds at the same time).

That leads us to an Am Worlds dilemma ... what in the world do we do with this basket (http://www.2007amworlds.com/files/07AmWorldsBasket.jpg) which is a one of a kind, hand made, collapsible, portable disc golf basket which actually has the wording 07 Am Worlds embedded around the basket?

The number plate alone looks like a piece of artwork you would want for your disc golf memory shop. Tom Holsten has been featured in Disc Golf World News for his fine craftsmanship as well as his unique eye for art in many forms. This fine collectible item needs a home and we are just not sure how it's going to find one.

Raffle? Silent Auction? Ebay?

Post some serious ideas on here because we are not sure what to do with it. The pictures simply don't do it justice.

::Examples of ideas that will not be taken seriously include:: "Give it away to the first person that responds to this post" or "Give it to the 2nd place finisher in the Junior Girls under 13 division" or "Whichever competitor takes the most 7's during Am Worlds week will win it".

Am Worlds begins in under 2 weeks - are you ready?

P.S. I just posted Mixed Doubles (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=6915) & Junior Doubles (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=6916) teams.

I know there are some new updates with regards to various doubles teams but I figured I'd post the latest file that I had in my possession.

My doubles team did not show up in the junior doubles page, although the money was sent in several months ago... do I need to be contacting the PDGA office or can you take care of this?

Ethan Wellin (doubles partner Sam Green)

NO.

You are fixed. I had you in the MJ2 field and I already moved you to the MJ1 field.

Thanks.

Have an Ace run. set it up at the field events. at a distance that the Jr players have a shot at. the first person that aces it gets it. if no one can ace it. set it on the final day, mark CTP's if still no ace the CTP gets it.

How about an online raffle. Get something setup where anyone can purchase raffle tickets online, or in person at the event. Then draw the winner the last day of the tourney and have the results posted live just like the scores are. This could help drive traffic to your website as well as open it up for a lot of ca$h. Then maybe you could donate the ca$h to a charity of choice.

I like the raffle idea.
The only concern I would have is that if the winner would need to be present or would you be willing to ship the basket? My vote: Be There!
Sell the tickets early in the week when people still have money! Raffle it early so the winner can play/practice on it during the week. This way you won't have to worry about having it shipped. You could start selling tickets online as well as when people check-in and up until the player's meeting or party.

I don't think Tom reads this post but tremendous job, again, on the basket.

With the amount of cash generated from an online raffle you will easily be able to take the cost of shipping out of that.

*cringes* I was afraid you might get confused on that one Terry because of it being all last names. My little brother's doubles partner is my partner's little sister, so you should have a Wellin-Green pair in MJ1 AND MJ2. sorry, I hope thats not terribly hard to add... but like I said the money should be in.

Thanks so much for all of your hard work.

Terry, I'm still waiting on confirmation from Risbee on a doubles partner for my dau, and myself. Are those discs going to be made available at the flymart, and offer a chance to get in on the 18 basket delimma.

Rizbee_jr (AJ Risley) will be partnering with Dawn, but he needs to pay when we get there on Sunday.

Tour de Rizbee begins in 3 days!!!!!!!

I didn't go to bed last night. We have things being printed today, boxes of stuff so big that I can't get out of my front door, and last minute adds and drops every other second. It's GO time baby! With all of that being said I will just throw out a few thoughts here.

We have a bunch of raffles going on already which might be an issue or pose as a problem. Maybe it won't though.

The BLOOD RED DGA raffle which is one of the best of all time - 18 holes people! Each disc is 1 in 1000 chance of winning. Only 1000 discs made!

A Funjet Raffle which consist of only 100 Innova INNColor discs with a sweet design on it. You can win a trip for 2 by purchasing one of these discs. Your chances are as good as they can get with 1 in 100 for each disc bought. Only 100 were made.

We just finalized the details on an official AM WOLRDS BAG TAG program. Still working out the details there but people will get a sweet tag to start and we'll have prizes that are both random and according to how you finish. A bag tag and another goodie probably for $20. We just may raffle the $1500 Kicker Car audio system with that program. Only 200 Bag Tags are being made!

With some support from Innova we'll be giving away some pretty sweet packages at the Flymart on Tuesday night.

So we are back to this Tom Holsten, 2007 Am Worlds basket. I like the idea of it raising money somehow. We take that money and give it right to a great charity. Leukemia and Lymphoma is my ideal recipient and we already have a line item in the budget to help them out!

Did I mention that these player's packs are going to be worth about $160 each? Too bad you can't all come to my house right now to get a little sneak peek! I wouldn't want that because you'd all wet yourselves right in my front yard.

Ter

As part of Funjet Vacations Sponsorship, we have an INNColor Disc available with a beautiful background showing downtown Milwaukee and the world Famous Milwaukee Art Museum by Calatrava! With the purchase of this disc, you will be eligible to win (2) round trip tickets to Cancun, Mexico! Since this is a VERY limited disc, with only about 100 being produced, you have a very good chance of winning yourself (2) round trip air seats to Mexico for as long as you wish. You could go for 3 days, 14 days or anything in between, your choice!
Discs will be available at the Am Worlds Merchandise tables all week, and the Flymart which is slated for Tuesday, July 24th
We have Wraiths and Aviars available in this VERY LIMTED RUN! We have already sold a handful, so get them while you can!
Wouldn�t that be something, by supporting the 2007 Am Worlds, you have the chance to Win a 18 Hole Disc Golf Course (DGA Squal Promo) or Round Trip Airfare to Mexico, by just picking up a few discs!
Please Support the Am Worlds!

Thanks

Terry, we can't handle much more of this excitment. Will we be able to buy tickets at registration, or the fly mart. I would like to have each of those, not good with etc money exchanges. I will sign Dawn up with team Resbee when I arrive.

186 hrs, maybe, more excitment, and I may move that up

Wow! No one answers my question and it is not a hard question. I guess you all are dumb or biased against Deaf's request for ASL interpreters. You think I sit down at the player's meeting or etc and know nothing's going on? Jeez! I feel sorry for you!

No worries, I think I have a better idea. If I throw wrong hole, disc on OB, miss mandatory or etc then I should not get 1 stroke penalty because NO ONE tells me about the rules at the meeting without the ASL interpreters /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif :D:D

Hope you guys can find an answer to my question before I land at Milwaukee.

Tan ...

I'm partially deaf myself. The local deaf disc golfers paid for me to take my first 2 intro to ASL classes. I gave a disc golf demonstration at the Wisconsin School for the Deaf. I am co-hosting a Deaf Disc Golf Outing with Deaf Empowerment in August. I would say that I am closer to the Deaf Disc Golf Community than any other disc golf promoter in Wisconsin. Deaf Disc Golfers ARE a priority to me and to the 2007 Am Worlds!

I am working on the details for ASL interpreters and plan to have them for the meetings and other functions. I didn't answer your questions because the details are in the works. The long and short of it is ... one way or another we will have some interpreters at the player's meeting.

Local deaf disc golfers, Mike Maffucci and Scott "Space Cadet" Kendziorski wouldn't let me have it any other way.

I'll see you here in Milwaukee!

182 hrs till we act like mice and head for the cheese

Both my son Andrew and my wife Sherry have taken many ASL classes. I know they will help with deaf players in a non official way. Like at the hotel, at the courses when every they see a need. Like most languages, they may be a bit rusty. It's been a year since there last class.

Will we find out our pool assignments b4 the players meeting? Trying to coordinate some rides...Thanks!

My son is hard of hearing and my be able to help a little.

Geez - how many of you guys have "roc" or "rock" in your screen names? It gets confusing trying to keep you all straight!!

Is there any way to reserve or pre-pay for either of these raffles or will this just be a first come first serve thing? What would be the earliest option for getting these? I would like to get in on the Funjet disc and the bag tag.

Geez - how many of you guys have "roc" or "rock" in your screen names? It gets confusing trying to keep you all straight!!



I wanted to put ROC in my name but all the good ones are taken. just wait until you meet these guys. papparoc is a great guy. I can't wait to see him. Bigrock well he will be in a bad mode when you meet him. this weekend I going to beat him like a drum at his monthly. But after he recovers you well see he's a great guy as well.

Plese tell your son he is a lucky man. partnering with Dawn.

This Girl ROCKS. She came to a tournament of mine. We had a CTP accross a lake. after she put one accross the Guys wouldn't throw any more. and I'm not talking about boys these where advanced men. Yes she won it.

Terry, I just wanted to thankyou for all the energy and excitement you are putting into this worlds. It's clear from your posts that you are giving it everything you've got. That is noble and a shining example for others. Please remeber all of this when the crowds start pouring in and a few folks (and there always will be) start trying to take the bloom off the rose

I second that, It's a tough job running a tournament like this and you are answering all the questions and doing all the work. You have the excitement at a fever pitch and you are doing a great job.

ROC ON
Mama,Pappa and Kid ROC

I second Big Wigs commenents, and Lil Roc's. The excitment and thought of all that you have put into this make us want to leave early and just stand by a tee pad and wait for someone in the distance to yell. 2 MINUTES. Then I can put my cheese and crackers down, grab my firebird, yell fore and pick up my cheese and cracker again. No really, Thanks to Terry, David and the Milwaukee Staff. Carolina on the way.
Big Rock was named after Rocky Marciano, therefore the name

177 hrs, and this mess departs, unless Terry excites again, then that might change

Is anyone going to Indaina State Championships on Sunday July 29. Yes that is a tourny right after 5 days of tourny play. It will be my first official Pro tourny. It will be at Lemon Lake County Partk. in NW Indiana. If anyone is interested in goin just let me know. I will have some room at my house for some golfers.

To Terry and to people who answered,

Thanks for the answering! :) I apologize for being so blunt or an a** recently!! I tend to get a demand because I am living in a big world where I am always the last person to know the news before hearing people get.

Yes, I appreciate it because I sent the first question a long time ago and Scott sent me a pm about getting interpreter for AM World and ??? I do not know if he or Wisconsin Deaf Golf actually find the interpreters for AM World. So, I am trying to get an answer from one of the AM World committees, not him. I do not mean to push Terry on his hard working for the tournament. I do not want to make him overwhelm since he is very busy and I thank him for his excellence work to make sure we, the players, will enjoy there real soon :D Also, I want to say my apology for being upset since when I saw the comments of some people are worried about where to stay at camping or RV or where to find cheese. Are they most important? Come on, they can find thru website. No offense :cool: :D Actually, it is no big deal to discuss because I am trying to get a point, though.

That is an awesome to know that some of you took the ASL courses... I have two friends who will go to the AM World, they are ASL learners, too. Frankly, I do not want to use them or you who are ASL learners to interpet for me because you are players and suppose to have fun, not workers :D

I want to be honest with you guys, if the AM World or Wisconsin Deaf Golf Assocation cannot find the interpreters to provide. No worries and just give me a player's meeting handbook and I will read it because I am cool with that. If I win the AM World Championship, you better find an interpreter at the award because I wanna say something to congratulation, winks!

By the way, when you meet me... Please do not think I am an a** lol!

To 2007 AM World, here we go! *Cheers*

I can vouch for Tan - he is a great guy, hard competitor and always looking to have fun. He currently co-holds the doubles record at Emerald Isle Golf Course in Oceanside, CA, so he is also a good disc golfer.

Earlier this year there were some problems at tournaments in SoCal with getting player information signed for hearing-impaired players. That has since been corrected, but a few players were penalized because they missed some info. It's good to hear that this won't happen at Worlds!

Tan Thank you for the post. I believe most people will see your point. I told my wife That I posted that she would help. She and Andrew are going to review. Sherry is a RN, She took ASL on her own for her job. Andrew attending class with because it thought it would be nice to know ASL.

I believe that with the great job Terry and his crew are doing that you will not have anything to worry about. I also believe in the Disc Golfers of the world.

In closing I agree with David Wiggins, BigRock and Popparoc. Great job guys.

Tan, you'll be fine brother, and you'll find most discgolfers are very understanding. As of this moment, 1 week from now, or 168 hrs and counting down, team FFF,Coast 2 Coast will be on the way. Weather looks fair, 2 days have projected rain, thats why we carry towells. Wisconsin, here we come

And thank you, Wyatt and Big Rock for being support :)

Looking forward to meet you all there within a week or so!!

Geez - how many of you guys have "roc" or "rock" in your screen names? It gets confusing trying to keep you all straight!!



People started calling me "John Rock" in 1983 because of the work I do. In fact, at the big company I worked for, I used to sign my timecard as "John Rock" and never failed to get a paycheck! ;) A lot of the people in the Disc Golf world have no idea of what my real last name is. So when I registered on this site, "John Rock" just seemed like a good screen name, since that's what most people know me as.

Wow, we could have our own Rock division. Starting to look like a quarry, but I know you all are just a bunch of pebbles, Here is the Real Rock. No nicname, 100% pure, now lets play

Another registration update by David Gentry at the PDGA. Check out his post (http://www.pdga.com/msgboard/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=714685&an=0&page=0&gonew =1#UNREAD) in the official PDGA announcement's section.

We now have 551 registered players (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=5831) at this exact moment! How awesome is that?

There will be NO DAY OF registration for the doubles events on Monday. If you wish to compete in doubles you must get yourself registered before Monday! Saturday or Sunday at check in are your best bets to get that done!

Back to work,

Where does it specify in the rule book as to the dress code? I can not find it in the current PDGA rule book.

Then can the shirt be a full-length-button-up shirt like a dress shirt? What about shorts? do they have to be kahaki? or work out type shorts?

Hey Eric,

Are you supposed to play at Pro World, not in Milwaukee or your girlfriend plays there? :D

If so, it would be good to see you in Milwaukee since the Memorial in Arizona.

Yes, it is my gf playing in Milwaukee.. :D So I will be seeing you Tan! Looking forward to it!!

Anyone in the area have room for a recently stranded player to camp on their yard? I have a place to stay in Madison, but I don't feel like commuting an hour each day, each way. The person with whom I was originally splitting a room decided he wasn't going to register/go, and I can't afford a room on my own.

I do not know if anyone already answer or not. Am wondering about require to wear polo shirts? I just want to make sure I pack enough :D


3.4. Dress Code
A. All competitors and staff are required to wear a shirt.

enforced at all PDGA National Tour and Major Events. The
PDGA also recommends that this dress code be enforced

tournament staff are expected to dress appropriately
and to maintain a clean and well-groomed appearance
at all event sites and associated functions.

be allowed.
(4) Shirts that hang down lower than the bottom hemline
on the player�s shorts shall be tucked in.
(5) No ripped shirts, shorts, pants will be allowed on the
course. This includes unhemmed, torn or cut �vents�

(6) No offensive, profane, or obscene slogans or logos
shall be allowed on any clothing. Junior players may
not wear slogans or logos referring to alcohol or
tobacco.
(7) This dress code will be in effect from start to finish at
each event, including all tournament rounds.
(8) Players who do not make a cut, but wish to remain on
site through the duration of the tournament, will be
considered spectators and will not be required to
conform to the Tour�s dress code.

I copied that from the NT handbook.

I do not know if anyone already answer or not. Am wondering about require to wear polo shirts? I just want to make sure I pack enough :D



Tan hope this helps.

My son's Sponsor http://www.night-owlgraphics.com/ found some collard shirts that are tee-shirt materal very light. I have no Idea of the cost, All his tournament shirts are part of the sponsorship. I think they are made by Gildan, Anvil and Jerzees - Golf. Andrew is very hot natured so we need something cool. the above brands all have the light Collared shirts.

If you follow the link, click on apparel, then Generic Catalog. At the top you can pick Brand and style. You should be able to find all these in your area.

I'm looking forward to meeting you next week.

Oh boy ... do I have a treat for you guys!

I hope most of you checked out the maps that were posted regarding the courses. They had my handy work of some Google earth stuff then some points plotted over the top of it to depict the holes, etc.

Needless to say those 'adequate' maps are a thing of the past because we have John Dorn on staff and he's ready to knock your socks off with new and improved, 2007 Am Worlds MAPS. (http://www.pdga.com/documents/2007/07AmWorldsCourseMaps.pdf) I will tell you this right now - maps do not get much sweeter than these!

Thanks so much to John Dorn. Many of you have seen his stamps including the two Super Roc designs from this year, this year's Pro World's logo, and hundreds of other stamps. Feel free to check out his website (http://www.throwingart.com). John is pretty much, 'the man'.

Thats kinda B.S. that thats not (nor is it mentioned that there is another rule book) in the standard rule book. Of course now someone will go prove me wrong on that last statement...<shrug>.

Also, the Am Worlds are not listed on the NT website.

Terry, I warned you before, now listen. Any more exciting news and we may start showing up earlier. Its all I can do to just sit here and watch move tick...tick.... Now those are awsome maps. Here we come milwaukee, good job Terry and Staff

Am Worlds is not a National Tour event.

The dress code is found in the Competition Manual, which is going to be printed in the same booklet as the Rules of Play next year.

Am Worlds is a major so the longer dress code rules apply.

But note that the PDGA does not have a collared shirt rule, per se. Crew necks, v necks and henleys do not have a collar and they are allowed. T-shirts are allowed in preliminary rounds. For those of you who don't know what a crew neck is, its the neck you see on most t-shirts. So the rule is contradictory and incomprehensible.

Welcome to the PDGA.

At Am Nationals Pad Timmons told me I could not wear my T-shirt. I asked him if he had a copy of the rule. He did not. I suggested that he might read the rule and get back to me.

TD Miller

Nice revised course maps. Thanks for your efforts.
Counting the days.

Speaking of days, only 2 weeks left to cast your votes for the PDGA board of directors. VOTE please.

I personaly think collared shirt should be worn at World's. any thing we can do to bring the sport up. The World championship is the sports best chance to get news coverage. The nicer the players look the better Disc Golf looks. This is from non-invitiee. but I require my son to wear a collored shirt every round. As stated before it easy for us, his are supplied.

Those upgraded maps are very cool. I'll be printing these off for a quick study before heading up there next week. Thanks for all the hard work!

All of my tee shirts have collars. :) They do not have Byron collars, which is the style on most golf-style shirts.

Basically, the BOD thought the "collared" shirt rule was too restrictive. At that time, it was even more restrictive than even the PGA Tour with respect to shirts. The PGA Tour's dress code evolved from the dress codes of the country clubs they played their events at. Most public parks have no dress code that I'm aware of (other than the standard public indecent exposure laws). Remarkably, even though Bruce says the rule in incomprehensible, it seems most players are comprehending as well as they comprehend any other rule. Always ask the TD if you have any questions. Probably this message board isn't the best place to ask the TD.

No golden arch....the Arch in St. Louis is silver colored, seeing that it's made out of stainless steel and all.

Nothing wrong with the Missouri Mule....it may be sterile, but it's stubborn, just like the rest of us Missourians. :)

And I grew up in NE Missouri (Hannibal). I agree, it's a beautiful place.

Chap

I second that, being from SE Iowa I spend alot of time in NE MO, beautiful.

Now I hope I got this right. I just got some of our sponsors t-shirts. Is that going to be alright?

After looking at the pics from past am worlds I see everything from t-shirts to polos. So then it must only matter what the shirt has on it.

So then Terry what is the TD's ruling on the dress code? Also then does that mean I can wear sleeveless shirts as long as they are appropriately tailored?

Team Rizbee will be sporting brand new Tour de Rizbee Cooltek shirts (polo-collared and tee-shirt collared) provided by Apewear. Cool, comfy, and very fashionable at a reasonable price!! Linda can produce custom embroidered shirts with a quick turnaround. There's still time - PM me if you want her contact info.

BTW, the Day 2 Tour de Rizbee update can be seen at:teamrizbee.com/blog.html .

Men must wear shirts with sleeves. Only women can wear sleeveless shirts.

There are no toll roads in Wisconsin. Unless you are coming through our neighbor to the south (Illinois), you won't have to bother with tolls.

I think collared shirts should only be required if there is one in the players pack

Why Thanks Matt, just trying to plan ahead, and that came up. So the only one will face is on entry from the South, (United States) LOL. Great. stayed outside of Tulsa, and was faced with Tolls often. Save us some Cheese Brother, and thanks for all the Milwaukee Staff has done.

<font color="red"> Correction:</font> There might be a toll of one adult beverage per volunteer / staff member. Anyone looking to pay that toll to a staff member is welcome to do so at any time during the week when the participant and worker are not on the course!

See everyone soon and by the way ... I have a secret to share ... the pool assignments are posted!!! (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=5831).

Please do NOT call or e-mail myself or the PDGA to request a pool assignment change. The PDGA spent hours upon hours to organize and orchestrate these pool assignments. We even took requests up until a few days ago. They did their best. We certainly tried to accommodate every request that came in on time . We apologize if someone wasn't accommodated but know that it wasn't from a lack of trying.

Are you guys pumped yet?

Which pro Disc Golfer have volunteered for this years Jr/Am Worlds? With last year being Andrew first Wolrd�s we where both surprised at the Number of Pro�s that Came out to help, and make appearances.

Good question Wyatt, that was pretty special, and with Pro Worlds being the following week, I would guess several. Oklahoma had several, and some of the tips were very helpful to the CupcAce. She has never forgotten Juilianna comments, and advice, along with i believe Courtney. Do't for get the Toll's as mentioned before.

There is always good adult beverages in the KC cooler, and staff is more than welcome to some (within reason....hehe). Hey, I get to play instead of work this year, so all is good. :) This is my 5th Am Worlds in a row I've attended, but the first one I've played in since 2000.

Chap

the winner better come out of the B pool with all the wisconsinites, so much for playing with people from different areas or that i dont already know. all the more reason to make the semi's. cant wait, great job Terry and staff!

Hey everyone ... let's put it this way ... you will not be disappointed with the caliber of top professionals that will be around during the early part of the week.

Many of them are on their way to Highbridge so they won't be around too late because they want to get up there to practice but we'll have some here!

Gee, I wish as a pro I could get up to Highbridge to get some practice in next week. Do you think the event would miss me if I took 3 or 4 days to head up there? :DI wish I still got to play disc golf!

dretzka original is one of the easier courses for the event this year, even though when on the long settings it can kick your arse, but we are all playing middle or short tees so bring your duece game.

If you would have stayed in the Carolina room during the Horizon Classic. you would have seen the First Run JK Putter Andrew won 13 and under putting with Signed by JK herself It hangs over his bed. If I remember She signed a Jk for Dawn as well. You are Juilianna was great. By the end of the week after using the putter all week the signature had faded a bit. She even took the time to touch it up for Andrew.

Will there be the little books with detailed drawings of the courses this year? Last years books were awesome.

Good question Papparoc. Last years Caddie books where great. As the Winning Caddie in 10 and under division I am counting on you to defend my title. This year I'm up against My goodfriend David Sr. I will have hide his water bottle and towl to have a chance this year.

I'm a big fan of the NC boys and even bigger fans of their caddies. I wish there was a camera crew following you guys so I could wach your rounds in real time. I'm shure NC will rule the 13 &amp; under division. Anrew has a tall order to fill facing young Mr Wiggins. I don't know when but I bet he gets the 13 &amp; under hardware to sit besides last years trophy.

Thanks Popparoc.As you know Andrew and I are KidRocs biggest fans and think the world of his Dad. With the Age Differance. when David Jr. moves up Andrew will Bring it home. I hope we can work it out to see Brock play this year.

Keep an eye on the NC Girl. She ROCKS.

Tulsa raised the bar for Am Worlds with their caddy books last year. Let's just say this ... Milwaukee will NOT disappoint you.

Our player's packs will be worth nearly $160 (and counting). We are putting some final touches on making this event the best event you have attended to date. Some people have already arrived here in Milwaukee and they are out playing the courses right now. It's exciting and I'm just as pumped as any player at this point. I'm 28 and I have attended the last 11 years of am or pro worlds so I'm right here with you guys!

Let's get it on!

When I went to Iowa I had to play with 2 people from Milwaukee my first round.

Yes they were, and I still have mine. Some real thought and hard work was put into those. Little things like that, 10 m circle around the baskets, painting the bar on the bottom of the basket that is pointed in the direction of the next basket, and all the volunteers, with a good sense of humor, and a smile, were all positives in Tulsa.I'm sure Wisconsin will be awsome also. Can't wait to get moving, with all the disc golfers coming, we'll put a stop to these incidents of women coming up missing. Just another good thing we do in the parks, Protect the Envioronment. Maybe some of the NC pro's will stop in!

Brett's in Mississippi riding the tractor. Either that or filming a cameo in "There's Something About Mary 2".

just noticed that pete may was playing adv senior grandmasters.

the guy got 2nd in pro senior grandmasters last year (he was actually leading going to the final 9).

That is pretty wild that he's playing am worlds again...

he must have used the amnesty rule. :o

well obviously, I wasn't questioning whether he was able to play to play, just whether if its right or not.

any word on who won the distance contest?

any word on who won the distance contest?



Mike Batka won Advanced, but the long throw of the day came from someone in the 16 and under division if I remember correctly. It was a tough day for distance as the wind switched over to East/NorthEast and ended up being just about a direct head wind for the throwers.

Chandler Fry is a 16-and-under animal!

It looks like Jaimie and Ziggy won the junior doubles: -11 alternate shot on Dretzka Original in the morning and -9 best shot on Dretzka New in the afternoon, a -20 on the day.

I think Sheila and I are tied for 10th out of 31 mixed doubles teams with a -5 on the day.

Carolina update, CupcAce, wins jr women long drive contest 312 ft, Lil Wig, and Lil Cog 1st U13 Doubles, Mini Thumber 2nd Putting. Mini Thumber proud of the cupcAce, played great doubles with A.J. Risley, 7th I think, not bad for 2 jr,s playing in the open Mixd division. Competition begins tomorrow. Honey, pass the cheese.

Mini and CupcAce Thumber, Proud Members of team FFF

Ken Gilmore just won the putting competition. Look for the rest of Team Oregon to dominate at Worlds.

I was thouroughly pleased watching team Coast-to-Coast, Dawn and AJ play as well as they did in the mixed doubles today. A seventh place finish would be pretty good for a 14- - yr-old girl and 15-yr old boy.

Also enjoyed all of the company involved - the other groups of players and the Geists. What a great day!

Look out for Will Schusterick (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/playerstats.php?PDGANum=29064) , the 15 year old prodigy from Knoxville. He played some hot golf in Hotlanta before heading up there.

Is that really Pete May who almost won pro SGM last year in GA playing ams? If so Why?



Pro amnesty is a concept only a few people seemed to understand. It was available to any pro.

BLASPHEMY! RHODE ISLAND FOREVA!

Pro amnesty is a concept

some call it a concept others call it a JOKE!!!!

just cuz he could doesn't make it right.

just cuz he could doesn't make it right.



Agreed!

Pete May was on the board of directors when this amnesty was approved. The real reason to have pros play ams was So that Pete May himself would now have a chance to win a world title without Peter Shive snatching it from him on the final nine at the worlds 06. On his home course! I guess Pete's odds would improve to win a championship if he was playing with people with 700 + player rating or someone who is legally blind like myself. I withdrew when I saw that pros would now be allowed to play in our world championship. I highly suspect that 5 or 6 other of my friends in the senior ams withdrew or did not enter for this very same reason. Pete May took 2nd in the pro worlds last year an won $800.00. What was the board thinking when they allowed this to happen? The seniors now do not have an Am World tournament!! You pros that are playing ams need to man up, grab your gonads and play PRO after all It was your decision to take the money.

preach on!

Yeah Charlie!

I'm more disappointed that the new Dineen Park course wasn't tweaked after the Last Call of 2006 and Greater Milwaukee Open tournaments to make it a little tougher. The SSA at these tournaments varied from 45.3 - 47.7. Imo, courses used in Worlds shouldn't allow scores of 43 - pitch 'n' putt is supposed to be a thing of the past. Whoever wins Worlds shouldn't come down to who can putt the best.

wow you guys on this thread are reading my mind. another pitch and putt worlds...... nice :confused:

Does anyone here know if the schedule on the Worlds website from 7/11 (v1.3) is still valid? I'd like to head up there to watch some people play but don't want to drive 2 hours just to find out that they aren't playing there and then. Thanks!

wow you guys on this thread are reading my mind. another pitch and putt worlds...... nice :confused:

I saw a few 999 for some people...anyone know what happened?

Pete May took 2nd in the pro worlds last year an won $800.00.



Actually it was $1200, and Hot Tub waxed him today.

wow the guy leading adv A pool is going on his 6th year of playing adv :confused:

I wonder how much Terry Calhoun has turned down over the years to maintain his Amatuer Integrity? Some people want there cake and eat it too. Kinda sounds like Pari Hilton Opps I mean Pete May!!

wow the guy leading adv A pool is going on his 6th year of playing adv :confused:



Yup and I don't think he's even 18. He's lost alot of weight in the last year and is in the best shape I have ever seen him. Jamie is a really nice guy and a good player. He had plans to move up after this tournament or this year.

Well then I will tell you!
$310 from 2 out of many tournaments. He has never been a pro.

good for Jamie his game will only improve once he starts playing with better comp. sure wished I would have found this game when I was 12 :D

sure wished I would have found this game when I was 12 :D



I just hit 14 and a half years playing.

I turn 24 next month :D

His dad helps and volunteers at local tournaments, and has ever since I started playing.

He had a chance at the National Title in June. His low-ceiling putt from 40 or so spit out on hole #18 to force a playoff! It was disgusting to watch because it was such a great pressure putt. I'm pulling for him to grab a title this week.

I turn 24 next month

you young turd ;)

you know it

Thats ok the guy leading the D pool has been playing Advanced a minimum of 7years

wow the guy leading adv A pool is going on his 6th year of playing adv :confused:

He's older than 18 because we had to play &lt;19 in 04' dubs because he was older than me so I think he is 19. Anyway I'm pulling for the big guy.

I think that he and Ziggy played junior doubles together on Monday.

Try a 41 temp rated at 1051.



Wow. The Dretzka New Course and Dineen are playing to a SSA of about 45.0. Dretzka original is playing at 46.2. At least Brown Deer is playing to an SSA around 51.8.




wow you guys on this thread are reading my mind. another pitch and putt worlds...... nice :confused:



It sure wasn't that way in 06.



It will not be that way in 2008!



That's what we like to hear! I sure hope the Kalamazoo Worlds organizers are watching and make for some courses with some par fours and par fives and multi-drive holes and some distance. An Am Worlds with 3 out of 4 courses with an SSA lower than 47 is NOT the direction we are supposed to be heading.

I think that he and Ziggy played junior doubles together on Monday.



Yeah and 19 year olds can play JR. BTW it think its kinda messed up that you can follow some of the Jr cards and see people smoking cigs.

Technically couldn't a a 17 year old be DQed for smoking tobacco?

C'mon Nate Fellows and Chris Hoeg...under 13 is the only division I am watching! :D

Technically couldn't a a 17 year old be DQed for smoking tobacco?



Only between 2 mins and the end of the round! But a 18 year old in the same division can smoke. Not to step on toes but Jrs should he &lt;18.

wow the guy leading adv A pool is going on his 6th year of playing adv :confused:



Yea, but he started out as a 770-rated golfer and wasn't above a 900 rating until 2003.

How about the guy leading the D pool?

7 years in ADv and he was rated 940 in 2000???

Keep an eye on Iowa boy Alan Wagner. New to the game and catching on quickly. I will predict a top 5 finish and then he is moving up after the weekend!

Hey now, what about the guy who is in 3rd place in the E pool who won a tournament two weeks ago in Pro Masters and accepted the cash???

If he's a Pro Master rated less than 915 he can play Advanced Masters, right?

where are the distance competition results posted?

I don't know why I never realized that, in disc golf, good sportsmanship includes spending time picking at people who are competing well. Doesn't sound like much fun but, hey, to each his own. Maybe that explains why I am not a sports fan. I just like to play.

Tell me that when Pete beats you!

If Pete beats me, the smile on my face will be as genuine as the one on my face at 11 am this morning :cool:

Fair enough! I wonder if it would be the same if barry moved down to win ADV?

Bogus!

Nice round, Terry. Go Rob(Bro) Lee, you can catch Terry!!

:D

Hey, if Barry loses his skills due to injury or dis-use, I would not cry to see him in an advance division some day. I really see the future of the sport containing a huge number of really, really, good Ams with a handful of really, really, really good Pros who make lots of money! :D



But what if he didn't lose any of his skills?

Well, then he'd win a lot of plastic, wouldn't he? That would be satisfying.

No he'd win a World title. That is what Pete is trying to do and it is pretty LAME! Now if he was playing Masters or ADV then it would be ok but he almost won the PRO world title in the same division he is playing now as an AM.

And if it's a year later, and he hasn't competed this year, and he made the decision to go Am based on his physical condition and ability/time to practice?

You are assuming that winning a world title is a motivating factor for him. I not only don't make that assumption, and I know Pete personally, I am certain that is not the case.

Plus, he's not gonna beat me. :cool:

The fact is that I would have absolutely no problem with this if he indeed had an injury or moved to AM and competed in ADV but he didn't and he is competing in the SAME age division that he took 2nd in Pro last year. Seriously it is lame and I have lost most of the respect I have for him as a BoD member.

He took advantage of the system and in such a way that is unsportsmanlike.

If he knew he wasn't going to be able to play then why not just stay Pro since he wouldn't be playing many events anyway instead of trying to take advantage of the system which he had a part in implementing?

You're worried about stuff that doesn't worry me. Sorry 'bout that.

Just like some things that worry the membership but not the BoD?

Alan Wagner (from Iowa) is going to win. You heard it here first.

That's stale, and you're stretching :D

Damnit AO you beat me.

And I'm getting ready for the Flyyyyyy Maaart!!!

That's stale, and you're stretching :D



How so that's the same type of reply you use when referring to the BoD.

Here are some photos from the A and B pool today.

You know Matt Hall, Pete May has been an All Star contributor to disc golf and the PDGA these past few years. The amnesty rule was available to all last xmas. He went for it. As someone who knows him personally, I confirm he's played dg maybe 5 times this year, and he had an "older man's" operation recently.

Sooo to you I say ... whatever. Pls find something or someone worth howling about, if howl you must, rather than posting BS about a real giver to the sport.

Thx

BDH



What was his reasoning for going for it? He was a top competitor in his current division in the 1st place so why move back to AM? I see no reason why he should have moved back down and I see it as taking advantage of the system. The amnesty rule was put to use to help those guys who were no longer competitive become so once again but this is NOT why he seemed to go for the Amnesty because he was very competitive within his own division.

Why couldn't he have just stayed Pro and played a few times this year instead of moving back down? Couldn't he have still gone to Pro Worlds?

I think the Amnesty was a good idea if and only if it was used for the intended purpose and in this case I feel that it was used for other purposes.

Thanks for all the photos keep them coming.

Sorry but if the amnesty thing was intended to allow players who have suffered injuries and such to move back down then why not have an amnesty every year?

did Pete know about his surgery before the amnesty vote :D just Kidding..

KEEP KICKING [censored] ANTHONY !! and LETs GO ROB LEE TAKE DOWN calhoun and may :o



and is pic 027 a foot fault?? :D i think thats rogers DOH

I think one of the points Pete made in deliberately doing what he did was pointing out that most pros are truly amateurs, and many in the older divisions are actually ams playing for cash. I believe he would encourage the rest of the Sr GMs to move to Am also because he still would like to compete with Peter.

Of course, those like Peter Shive believe in a Pro Tour for seniors and more power to them if they can legitimize it. On the other hand, there's nothing wrong with the best player in the world in any age bracket, man or woman, being an amateur.
