Well sorry I am going to miss the tournament. I do want to play, but I have some domestic issues that must be taken care of. Have fun all.....

Way to go Matt and Jared @ Cedar Hill! (http://www.eatsleepdisc.com) Good luck to all next week at Z Boaz!

Has it been determined where the mid week event is going to be held?

I think that Veteran's was decided as the location for the mid-week event.

Brian

..Hey Mace, what time is the mid-week suppose to kick off??

For the eleventeenth time it is at Veterans and we will have a meeting at 10am.

Thanks Brian, had a great time playing not so great golf . :mad:

Big kudos going out to the Hamster man Brian Lameroux ( I spell it wrong every time ) . Having assited in the installation of the courses, I have been able to watch this course " grow " over the years. It is coming along very nice, and I look forward to every round I get to play there ... With a little work on the tee-pads, this place will be perfect. Also- hole 13 on the beaver , I got the 3 twice on that pin this weekend, really fun hole !!!

Is it Saturday yet? I'm thirsty to see Mr.B get hammered on margaritas. :D

BTW- Mr B = one cool cat in my book!!!!
Now I see what all the fuss is about !

Thanks for the first time ! I remember seeing that before somewhere on one of the 1000 pages there is to keep up with . :mad:

For the eleventeenth time it is at Veterans and we will have a meeting at 10am.



Hey Mace where's the Mid Week event? lol j/k
:D

CP and I got our entry fees paid for...We're in for Z-BOAZ !!!!

WHOOOHOOO 1st disc golf action in a looooooooooooooooong time for us. ;)

Nice round PJ-3 strokes out of cash!!



thanks Joe! i was close maybe next weekend i can get it done. i got a two stroke penalty after the last round because the cards didn't get turned in, I think Jay just must have spaced it out and left town.are you coming up for Z-Boaz?

hopefully,I have a commission check coming in on friday and trying to get my buyers taken care of this week instead of the weekend.it is in their control,money talks.In case, I cant make it good luck!

Looks like I will be there for the Midweek. I really bugged me not playing this weekend, but things happen. I wish I could play this next weekend, but that is out too.

At least on Saturday, I did a comunity service thing with my Boy Scout Troop Saturday Morning. Makes you feel good to give back to the comunity.

It's Boy Scouts, I think you know what he did. :eek: :D

I wasn't going to say it. Funny thing is I don't think Bryan even has a son does he?
This is how Lamorhootie's hamster rumor got started.

The KC Crew will be there in rare force...looks like about 10-12 of us will be down from KC. Personally, I'm looking forward to playing in temperatures above the teens again, because it hasn't happened around here for a while. First time at Z-Boaz for me, I've heard nothing but good things.

Chap

:mad:God, YES I have a 12 year old son in the Boy Scouts, he is working on his trail to 1st class. I am a committe member and volenteer to drive for this weekends comunity service progect. I had to work Saturday night and worked open to close on Sunday so I had the day time free.

I also have a 5 year old son who is just 2 years away from being a Tiger Cub. (only if he wants to)

I know you have sons, I was just messing with you.

I wasn't going to say it. Funny thing is I don't think Bryan even has a son does he?

IT WAS NEVER ABOUT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAGGGHHHH!!!!!!!

G-mo and I played the VET today as well as Zboaz and I must say that the VET is pretty nice and I wish I would have played it sooner. :DHopefully I shoot like i did at Zboaz this weekend because it wasn't bad. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Yes. They should receive the footage today (except for the 3 shots of the day clips they already have.) If the format works for them, it'll be up soon. If not, i'll have to send it in a different format which could delay things a day or two.

Oh, BTW, i'm a better golfer than camera man. :confused: :D

Don't forget the hockey game tonight, I think Mace may still have a few tickets available.

looks like a small field, going by the pre-regs. I'm in... but if there's only 4 advanced players this time tomorrow, I may just donate to pro and play a round with a world champ :)

Josh, the midweek is fun, there probably will not be a bunch of people there , now would be the time for a little one on one with some world class golfers....

Not sure, I'm scared to watch the footage. Yes, there were times where i swore i hit stop recording only to find it a few minutes later still recording....after some strange things were said. :D

Strange may be an understatement......

There are a few tickets left to the stars game tonight. If you are intrested let me know.

Tuesday night mini at Crowley tonight....start time is 6:15

Brian Mace will be out @ the Z today with a bobcat, he needs help with some course prep. work.

If you can shake loose, or have some extra time on your hands , Brian will be there around 1 o'clock. The course needs to be tip-top for this weekend, please come out and be a part of the solution, if you have the time .....

ALSO.. For the temp course that will be set up for the Open, we are short some baskets. We do have approx. 10 baskets committed for the event , so that leaves us about 8 short. Anybody out there that can help????

Get with me sometime and we can coordinate a time to get together. I will be responsible for the install , so the sooner I can get my hands on the basket, the better ...

Thanks ,
Lee

What the heck are the Stars doing playing in the afternoon on Saturday....was really looking forward to seeing a hockey game. Ducks-Stars on Saturday, Avs-Stars on Sunday AFTERNOON...ack. Great games, both of them. Guess I'll have to wait for the Penguins here next year. (Well, hoping) :)

Chap

Lee I can pull a couple of baskets off the Crowley course if you really need them.

THAT SUCKS!

Why???
That right there my friend is a perfect example of what we are trying to do with the Funkytown Flyers Club. UNITY , it's what we are all about. Crowley disc golf helping a
Z-Boaz A-tier.... Why does that suck, I think it is awesome. Besides, Crowley is a 20 hole course, with the 2 missing it is still 18 holes ( the norm ) .......

Brice, Bring them , they will be needed !

We do have approx. 10 baskets committed for the event , so that leaves us about 8 short. Anybody out there that can help????



There's two in my backyard. Are those included in your 10?

Yeppers, I think it goes a little something like this
Mace - 1 basket
Hero - 2 baskets
Scooter - 2 baskets
Longerbone - 2 baskets
Brownlo-1 basket
Jeff Davis - 1 basket
Peppernutz- 1 or 2 ( i cant remember )


something like that ...... I am sure I am forgetting a couple ....

Count me in for bringing 1 basket. :cool:I'll be there on Friday around 1 or 2-ish.

...enjoyed Cedar Hill and all the guys I played with over the weekend...thanks to Mace for running such a smooth event...looking forward to the Z...

F that!!
I will not play if those krapy crowley baskets are out there. Why would anybody want to play on those baskets with a 3in gap in the chains.

2 friggin holes, come on man..... Can you not find something else to be #$*&$! off about today????????

Perhaps we should just play the Weatheford course again........... ;)

My basket is available. But it doesnt have the inner row of chains, and I dont have the money to put those on right now....... Discatcher sport. Perhaps we could use it for another practice basket?

We can not substitute a practice basket , we do not have a base...
Your's will work fine, plan on bringing it .....

Any word on when Mace might update the Prereg list so we can see who else is coming so far? That would be excellent. :)

Mace will be busy tonight , I believe I can point you in the right direction. Look @ the Cedar Hill event last weekend, in the open division. All of those guys , plus a bunch more..... I believe 10 are coming down from Kansas, a boat load of Oakies, bunch o' peeps from ATX and H town...
This event will probably fill.... It will be worth the drive!

you're welcome to my basket, but it won't fit in my car and my truck is out of commission for now. If anyone is coming from the Denton/Lewisville area and wants to stop by and haul my basket in, let me know. Two rows of chains, to boot.

BTW, I was saying that I *am* playing the midweek, but I *may* move up and donate to pro if advanced is a tiny field. Little chance at cashing there, but I'd gladly trade a few frisbees for the opportunity to play with the level of players the Big Show has been attracting. I just have to figure out a way to not get stuck on the "whiney pro" card :D

I'll have one for sure but I don't know about two since I don't have a place to put it after the round. If you guys have a place then I can bring both a Titan and Mach V.

Have a shallow panned stroke saver I will offer up.. it has only one row of chains, but does catch pretty good...

ce

The Carrollton 9 are missing there bases, otherwise I would offer them up. Shane Powers has them in storage. The bases are in Scott Cooks garage last I heard. If you can get the bases, I am sure I could get some of those baskets to you by this weekend.

My basket base finally broke after 18 years. It does not stand up anymore. I need to build a new base for it.

Please post directions to the courses coming from Houston. Thanks.

the course directory link at the top of the page should be able to help you out there. It's a pretty good resource for finding courses.

I think he means, as he comes in on 1-45, what path should he take to get over towards the course. Speaking only for myself, the roads up there are confusing as all get out. What might seem like the short path when looking at a map..........might end up being the slow road to China. or is that ZBoaz?

Hey Brian, please tell me that we will be out on Sunday in time to watch the Pro Bowl.

We have a ching basket if need be...

if you have a decent basket and have room to bring it than bring it to ensure there are plenty of decent baskets to choose from

it won't matter what time you get out on sunday since the pro bowl is saturday night this year :eek:

must be a bear fan...not paying attention to football stuff anymore :D

11 KCers and 1 Hawkeye Stater coming down with the KC crew, but 4 of us are on the pre-reg list already. 188 people played this event last year, would expect a big number again.

Chap

getting to z-boaz is pretty easy. Just exit Winscott off of I-20 (which is on the west side of ft. worth) and go North. the street you need to turn left on is only about 1000-1500 ft off of the freeway, and I'm 99% sure it's called Old Benbrook. Turn left there and go about another 750ft and turn right into the parking lot. Veterans is a bit more complicated and further from the freeways :(

Here is the update for Z Boaz. (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=6474#Open)

Mace,

Much thanks for a great event. The weather turned out to be beautiful! Everything went very well; I wish I didn't have to work today or this coming weekend!

Will you be mailing out trophy mini's for the top 3 in the major divisions?

I really need to get a job where I can call in sick on days like today; it looks absolutely perfect outside!

We are comming from about 5 hours away and have 4 1st time Z-Boaz-ers, any answer will be very helpful for trip-planning purposes.
1. Is there poison ivy at the courses we'll be playing?
2. Will there be water jugs spaced around the courses or should we bring multiple water bottles?
3. Since this is an A-tier, do we (as adv. and int.) need to wear a collared shirt for each round or only the 3rd and finals?
4. We will be arriving around 5pm, what is traffic around Ft. Worth like on a friday at rush hour?
If there is any other useful info you could give us it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

1. Yes in the summer , no in the winter
2.Only regular jugs, not water.
3. Arkies have access to collered shirts?
4.Not as bad as Dallas. Do not take 75 south if you will be coming in at rush hour. Take I44 to I 35 south.

Maybe the grand masters and the open master could join to make a good size division

:eek: I like this quote

We are comming from about 5 hours away and have 4 1st time Z-Boaz-ers, any answer will be very helpful for trip-planning purposes.
1. Is there poison ivy at the courses we'll be playing? <font color="red"> This time of year is not too bad, but please be vary of the fuzzy vines on the tree, they are dormant, but potent.. Also, keep your eyes open for ivy anytime you are near the railroad tracks... </font>
2. Will there be water jugs spaced around the courses or should we bring multiple water bottles? <font color="red"> Bring water, this time of year it is not necessary like it is in the summer time .. BTW- water could be falling from the sky this weekend, so you can easily look up and open your mouth. </font>
3. Since this is an A-tier, do we (as adv. and int.) need to wear a collared shirt for each round or only the 3rd and finals? <font color="red"> You would only assist in the image of disc golf if your attire was professional, but it is your choice. </font>
4. We will be arriving around 5pm, what is traffic around Ft. Worth like on a friday at rush hour? <font color="red"> Stay away from 183 in the mid-cities, it will be chaos.</font>
If there is any other useful info you could give us it would be greatly appreciated. <font color="red">Prepare for a great weekend, this is a must play event for anybody. You will not be disappointed. For the first timers, I would suggest a couple of throws from holes 1 long, 2, 8, 9 , 14 long. I would hate to play those holes blind. </font> Thanks in advance.

The guys at DGTV are working on bringing Cedar Hill to you. I submitted very large files to them, which slows down on their editing time. However, while we wait, today's shot of the day comes from the Big Show Cedar Hill. Barry nails a big upshot! www.discgolftv.com (http://www.discgolftv.com)

I looked at the updated list and there is tons of people who are not current. Dont you have to be current to play an A teir or can you just renew down at the torunament??

FYI, some of those listed as not current actually ARE current, such as myself. :confused:. Either way, I believe you can renew at the tournament, it just slows things down a bit.

If we pre-registered do we have to check in at any point?

thanks boomer,
If it does rain, how do the courses hold up? are trail shoes gonna be sufficient or do we need to bring the waiters? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I am currently getting as much mulch on the ground as possible , so the muddy spots should not be too bad..
Creek crossing are taken care of , no worries there.
My only concern will be the mud . If you have cleats, bring them just in case. It is not that the course has issues with standing water, but after 180 people play 4 rounds of golf, it will get a little messy. We are working hard to ensure that rain or shine , people will have a good time .

I do believe that Brian will allow people to tee from behind the pad if it gets too messy on the tee's . I do not anticipate many if any problems.....

Now the temp course...........
Different story. Not alot of erosion over there because there is not a lot of foot traffic. SO mostly it will be grass. There will be a spot or two where the city has recently had to do some digging , but the grass is slowly growing back...

I myself would bring
Couple of pairs of socks - because you never know
Wet weather gear- it's Texas, ya' never know
Extra pair of shoes- because you never know
Umbrella- to chase those rain clouds away
Positive attitude- Z-Boaz will break it off in ya' the first time around.

If we pre-registered do we have to check in at any point?



If you have not played one of his events this year, he will need you to fill out a little paperwork. Just check in with Brian, Brandon, or myself when you get there ..

Also, you will be able to renew your PDGA memberships on site..... Nice little extra something for those not current.

HINT : get there early , the parking lot will fill fast.

half time scores should be coming in soon. Just talked to Mace as he was checking the players math.

how many players??

lol

How many players........

Not enough would be my bet ...

yes from looking at the registration link it looked like a small turnout.

Let us be real for a second ...
Take a day off of work- that could cost me anywhere from 200-350 dollars.
Add that to the entry fee and the cost of gas, lunch, and consumables ;)
the grand total =
ONE EXPENSIVE DAY OF DISC GOLF
I played last year, and all I could do is think about work. It was not fun...

I did a little math whilst doing my taxes this year...
I estimate 2500 dollars in lost revenue due to my MB addiction... Such is life... You coming down this weekend ?

The first round results for The Mid-week Event, (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=6476#Open) are available.

Looks like the OMB group is tearing up Masters again -

What course layout is being played? Mostly shorts, longs, or half/half? I would imagine almost all are on longs and it is a little windy out there.

Poor Barry...the lack of competition other than Coda is bringing down his rating from this one!

thank you for the update.

47 players is a great turnout as far as I am concerned. The conditions are as close to ideal as you could ask for in Feb. Most if not all of the pins are in the long positions, with the exception of hole 6, it is in the short.

Check in to let us know you are here, if you haven't played a North Texas Event then you need to fill out a form.

Even with the fair weather players from this area the spots will go fast this week. don't wait to sign up if you want to play, if it doesn't matter to you one way or the other then wait and see.

mace are you online at the course? HI TECH

47..... Wow!

That is a big jump from last year +16 , that is way cool!

Yes Seahorse I am on-line at the course thanks to Verizon Wireless. :D

Last year we had 30 something.

I hope your VZ wireless card is better than my Cingular wireless card....I always seem to lose my connection when I have the best hands in POKER :mad:

Have you found a good site that supports mobile devices? I have a Cingular 8525 and I wouldn't mind setting up a small account for the 10-15 minutes when I'm waiting on something...I have a rock solid UMTS connection throughout most of the DFW area. Ironically there is a large patch of EDGE-only which covers basically the Cedar Hill course!

I have the 8525 also....it's choppy, browsing web pages its fine but live poker not so great.

try the sprint card, I never get kicked off!

Here are the results from today. (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=6476#Open) Now I have to go and do the awards. :cool:

A question so I can have a clearer understanding of how payout works. Not that I'm going to be in the money in the future. :p

Last week at the Cedar Hill tourney, there were 47 intermediate players. Entry fee was $40. 1st place paid out $65.
At the mid-week at Veterans there were 16 intermediate players. Entry fee was $35. 1st place paid $95.

Total money collected for Cedar Hill: $1880
Total money colleced for Veterans: $560

Total Intermediate Cedar Hill payout: $1013 (53% payout)
total Int. Veterans payout: $470 (83% payout)

Average Payout per player Cedar Hill: $21.55
Average Payout per player Veterans: $29.37

Now, I know that Cedar Hill was a B Tier, and Veterans was a C tier, but where does the difference in payout come from? How is payout determined?

Thanks for everyones comments.

All - dont forget the clinic on Thursday at Bear Creek. Two sessions. 11:00 - 1:30 and again from 3:30 till dark.

Later....

Brian

Was there bigger player pack at Cedar and other amenities like CTP prizes, meals? That's all part of payout.

Player's packs?

$10 per player for players pack.... mace said it at the beginning of cedar hill to come spend it at his tables.

that alone changes your figure to $1410 which is a $30 payout per player which is slightly higher than the vet.

Ah, that makes sense. So payout is usually the same at all tourney's, no matter the Tier?

Player packs are required at B-tier and higher for Ams. No player pack required at C-tier. That's why you need to know the value of player packs to even have a chance to determine payout comparisions. Plus, some events include lunch and have lots of CTP prizes which also count in payout.

Thanks, that does explain the difference. My curiousity is quenched.

no we insist... we must explain further... your thirst is not quenched... you just think that it is. You see, when a man loves a woman they do the love handshake. etc. etc. so on and so on.. and that should cover it.

Here is the update for Z Boaz. (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=6474#Open)

In answer to your payout question, the difference is the players package.

From all am entry fee's at Cedar Hill $10 goes to you in a merch credit. $3 to the PDGA. $2 to Cedar Hill. $2 to EDGE. $2 to the food bank. This allows everyone to take something home from the weekend.

Veterans was a C tier. Fee's out were $2 PDGA Fee. $2 to Food Bank. $2 to Edge. The rest went to payout.

Each event is different, and there are different fee's associated with each event for many different reasons. If you want to look over the report I will be glad to show it.

Plus, some events include lunch and have lots of CTP prizes which also count in payout.



Just curious - where in PDGA documentation is it allowable to count lunch (or other similar amenities) towards payout?

Lunch may still be an unclarified issue for Ams. It appears you can subtract it from the entry fee to reduce the base entry fee from which payouts are calculated. Or, include a reasonable value in the payout. It's definitely not part of pro payout. I would contact Dave on specific situations but I'm pretty sure events in SoCal among others have taken lunch cost into account.

I don't include any fair-market value for lunch in my payout calcs. It would defintely boost my payout percentages if I did.

How about deduct that value to determine the base?

From my standpoint, I can't remember going to a sanctioned event where lunch was provided in the entry fee around this region. Lots of events where food was available for purchase in advance or setup to order during the break. That's why I would ask Dave what the scoop is. I know it's been discussed on the Comp Committee but not fully resolved.

Mace - what # of players will you close this event at?

also, what day is the last day you can sign-up on your website?

How about use sponsorship money to pay for it as it benefits everyone instead of just the top 40%? I think providing a meal is one of the best things you can do for that reason.

For EIEIO, part of the facility fee pays for your lunch. So it's not in the "entry fee" number nor is any retail value added for it.

For EIEIO, part of the facility fee pays for your lunch.



So it is deducted in this case if the facility fee is pulled out to determine base entry fee which is specifically allowed.

speaking of lunch, while not a part of any package and separate from Maceman, other than he allowing us to do it, Don Q will be there with lunch between rounds Sat & Sun. $5 per plate. Thanks Maceman.

I can tell you that Don Q's luch is worth much more than $5. That man rocks the grill. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I will take up to 190. That is one ghost card per course. I will take signups online until sometime late tomorrow, unless it fills before that. The last update put us at 128 and I just got 11 more. I will update later today.

Come out to the clinic. It is at Bear Creek from 11 to 1pm and 3:30 to Dark. It will feature Barry Schultz as well as Cale, Jake, Coda, and Eric McCabe in no particular order. If you want to get better then this is the place to go today.

Thanks for all you do Mace! Just got my registration in...............See you this weekend!

T-Town Representin' @ Z-Boaz :cool:

looking forward to playing this weekend
see yah friday bout noon

Here is proof. (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=6474#Open)

This is a little public service announcement, if you are thinking that you will be good on Saturday morning to sign up, I feel safe in saying you will be dissapointed. I could be wrong but you have been warned.

Great turn out......

I probably missed it, but what time is the players meeting Saturday and what is the format- who's playing where 1st?
I didn't see this info at maceman.com.

Thanks!!

sorry I missed the clinic, I just now woke up :D

Oh well, I was pretty tired last night and needed my beauty sleep. (maybe I should go back to bed )

Hey Tammy, you want to be there as early as possible. Parking will be an issue. As far as the players meeting , 9 o'clock sharpish....

Anybody out there that thinks they will be able to sign up saturday morning , best of luck to you...... I just got off of the phone with Mace , the count is @ 151.... 39 spots available for the OPEN.......... Better sign up quick....

9 o'clock sharpish....



;)Got it! Thanks!

any bets on 45min over or under. :D

Mace - Ben Cole tried to get a hold of you this eve for MA2 but your voice mail was full. He already paid for Cedar Hill and wasn't able to make it due to a funeral. He wants to play this weekend and will gladly add the extra fees for the A vs B-Tier costs.

Can you get back with him or let me know if it is taken care of. He is traveling back from PA and was in TN tonight.

Thanks #17684

There are still spot's open for Advanced right?.!

Nope you have to play Open. :D

There are still spot's open for Advanced right?.!



I signed up with mace about 7pm today, and I think I remember him sayin he had 161 signed up. That leaves 29 spots left to fill. I don't think it will matter what division, just first come first serve. I think. :confused:

Here is the new update for Z Boaz. (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=6474#Open) . It is somewhat up in the air what you will play when, but I will be able to tell you for sure at the players meeting. The number is now 170, so you might want to hunt me down or go online and register now. (http://www.maceman.com/cgi-bin/agora.cgi?product=Registration)

I will take the under...way under for $20 Chris.

I was gonna wait till tomorrow when I get to Z-boaz to sign up but by the look's of it now it's gonna fill before then so I am signing up in about 15min's

Mace I know that George Smith and Chris Boro are driving all night5 from STL to get there but I don'ty think they were already signed up. Just a heads up and they will be on the course early tomorrow.

Dang, more Gateway people! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D;)

Great looking prereg list! Just wish there was one more name in the mix. :confused:

What's the old saying?? If you can't join 'em, film 'em. :D

I think we have a bagger in Intermediate. Someone is rated 922. Is that legal?

Oh, yes I am scared. Just look at my rating! :p

Paul Owen ...welcome to MA1....

If it fills you are prob right. :D
Where is Nolan, Pep, Big Brother, Olse, Dagon? Come on guys lets make it 40.

that "bagger" probably signed up for the tournament before the ratings update. Hopefully he knows he's playing MA1 this weekend :)

Doesn't matter. He should have known he was playing that much better. Just look at all the >915 rounds compared to the <900

For those of you interested , majority of the temp course is marked for practice, the last 4-5 holes are missing , but you will get to see most of it . Enter main parking lot , east of hole 4 @ the Z. Walk parallel with vickery/winscott and you will find the first tee. You will have to walk out and find the marking for the pin, but you get the idea... Follow the creek towards the baaseball fields and you will be able to see most of the temp course.

For those that will not get to practice , be prepared to throw a lot of canopy shots. I think people are going to like the temp. set up. Those that can throw true golf shots should have no problem coming in under par. Those that have trouble with tree's off the tee, prepare for a long weekend...

Also, spectators and non-participants will be allowed to play the temp course during the lunch break. This opportunity is being offered so that we can keep an eye on the baskets whilst the tournament is not in progress. Also, this allows casuals and spectators to play a new course...
Win-Win for all....

Here is the latest update for The Z Boaz Open. (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=6474#Open)

We will need everyone to check in tomorrow morning just to let us know you are here. I am expecting a waiting list at this point and if we are going to let anyone in from the list we will have to know that a player is not going to be there to open a spot.

Thank you to all of you that are signed up so far, it makes everything better when you do.

Doubles is flex 3 to 4. All Open $40 per team, all Am $30 per team.

I will be out on the west side shortly to finish marking the temp. See you soon.

http://www.fastdecals.com/graphics/bevisbuttheadmoon_attitude_tn.jpg

Here is the deal people, the 6th annual Z-Boaz Open is full. A wait list has started . So far there are 6 people on the list. Due to circumstances with on-line registration, there may be a little flexibility with entrants. Everybody knows that there will be some individuals registered that will not make the event, so you do have a chance to play . On behalf of Brian, I will ask that all registered players check in ASAP tomorrow... This will help weed out the no shows and help wait list players get a spot on a card. With everybody's cooperation, we will make this event just as special as it has always been...

And this comment is from me " discboomer " . If I catch anybody giving Brian or Brandon any grief about this event filling and not being able to play, we are going to have a little " come to jesus meeting " in the parking lot.... Everybody has known this event was coming up for sometime now , and everybody has had plenty of time to register via on-line transactions, snail mail, or in person with Brian.

On behalf of Brian, I would like to thank everybody for their patience and cooperation. Thank you very much for coming to Ft. Worth, we are always glad to see you. Everybody knows that Brian will be as accomodating as he possibly can be . But it is not fair to punish those that registered ahead of time ....

This is why TD's preach pre-registration......


Good luck to all the waitlisters!

we are going to have a little " come to jesus meeting " in the parking lot....



Here we go again with the parking lot meetings.... :D

Is this "...Jesus meeting" on Sunday morning or is it a bunch of Seventh Day Adventists?
Will there be a prayer meeting too? I guess that would be for the players on the wait list.

You're right!



he was not preregistered before the update which to me is what the rules are saying. Am I missing something else?

Well said Lee, I can act as Holy Hammer if need be.

Those of you that show and don't get in, there is some World-Class talent that would love for you to be a part of gallery. You can learn a lot from just walking and watching, ask Des. That is how she learned how to play next level.

And, you get to play the temp course at half-time, how cool.

Won't you take me to.......................FunkyTown :p

what about that 922 rated int player,,, move up bagger.

the guy signed up for it well after knowing his rating so I dont see any justification for him playing intermediate not to mention this is not a part of a points series which takes care of the second part of the rule. Maybe that is just me and maybe that is because I am playing intermediate too... call me old fashioned.

I was going to take first anyhow, I am just looking out for the guy who wants second.

Players have a 2-week grace period after a ratings update as long as they were pre-registered before the ratings update was posted. In this case, the player would have to have been pre-registered by Jan 30th. Otherwise he has to play in Advanced unless there are extenuating circumstances that Mace would have to get approved by Gentry.

This coming from a guy who's been shooting 930+ golf lately and just told me on WEDNESDAY that he was moving up. If you stay in MA2 this weekend, you'd better win... otherwise Lee will have a whole separate type of meeting for you, buddy ;)

Here is the latest update for Z Boaz. (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=6474#Open)
Due to some uncontrollable circumstances we are going to let most if not all of the players on the list in. There are a couple of people (including Paul) that have limited options, but that is how it goes.

We will be adding an extra hole on each course to accommodate this giant crowd.

Coda's not there??

round 1 open

unofficial...

1 Jake Schlaghec -11
1 Yeti -11
3 Cale -10
4 Emac -9
? Barry -4

Scores and positions that Emac phoned me with....

Here is the first round results for Z Boaz. (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=6474#Open)

Mace - Carrie Berlogar's PDGA number is 13815

looks like Barry had a bad round ; way to go- Vinnie, Big Shawn Smith,and Ed P way to represent the 1 and only ATX .:D

Here is the first round results for Z Boaz. (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=6474#Open)



Mace, those totals are based on 18 holes, par 54. How many holes did you play? More than 18, no?

I bet Yeti remembered to turn that card in :D

209 players, that is great. I wonder how many are going to show up to the Carrollton open this year.

Make it a A-Tier and I would be we beat last year

Here is the results after two. (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=6474#Open)

great event with some intense competition, Brian.
they are playing 19 holes so par is 57 and you can add six birdies to everyones score after two rounds to see how they really shot.
also I know of one ace by the big man Jeff Davis on hole no.12 on the temp course.

we are going to have a little " come to jesus meeting " in the parking lot....



Here we go again with the parking lot meetings.... :D

I was in the lot,were was you?

Were both rounds played on the same course or did conditions change drastically? It seems like the scores really fell off after lunch.

I was wondering if anyone knows why my card got stroked that 2nd round (Lowrie, Fry, McCoy, Garver, Smith)

...just wondering...

Were both rounds played on the same course or did conditions change drastically? It seems like the scores really fell off after lunch.


the first round for open was on the temp course which plays a few stokes easier for most people. advanced started on the mighty Z.

A few strokes easier would be an understatement. It's sad that advanced showed up for the Z Boaz Open and only played one around from the shorts at Z and two rounds on the lame temp course.

MC

Hey, does anyone know what time the first round starts tomorrow? I should have paid attention, but...

Nope...but I don't think it was mentioned at all either so don't feel bad.

not a fan of the temp

good shooting V. and E.P.!!!

Look at the Kansas boys in the mix. Sprout leading Open, Nate 1 stroke out in Advanced.

I am sure that Nate, 2K and Rusco are all not to happy about only getting 1 round from the shorts. I had been talking ZBoaz up to 2K for a year. I guess the course doesn't matter, everyone is playing the same thing.

May have to go 2 different weekends next year.

Where are all the TX boys. Nolan, Dagon, Olse?

It is #$*&$! that we had to play from the shorts after playing that pitch and putt course.

Hole 8 from the fly pad?
Last Time I play z-boaz open and I am a local. :confused:

What is worse is that you can't say g a y on the message board.

It just went from 2 weekends to 1 last year....

Nolan hasn't made alot of events since becoming a daddy. Dagon and Mike...not sure, but if you want some of the Lone Star State up there try Eric McCabe and JD Ramirez at first and third.

Mike was helping Houck at Augusta earlier in the week. Not sure if he was still there this weekend.

I was trying to remember how much better you ran your event and all the fun we had with such a perfectly smooth event, but my senility is getting the best of me, Chris, 'cause it's just not coming to me.
You don't know the reasons for the decision i.e. time, confusion, or anything else that might have a bearing on his choice.
Everyone, for the most part, is having a good time at a GREAT tournament.
Grab a Kleenex...it's your turn to putt. Sink it and make a good show for us. GL

Hey Chuck..I have a question about policy on tournaments. What would be a good thread to ask it on that you would catch it to give me your answer?

Probably the Rules & Standards category.

if you want some of the Lone Star State up there try Eric McCabe and JD Ramirez at first and third.



Eric McCabe is Sprout. That last time a stayed at his house he lived in Emporia Kansas. Did he move to Texas over the winter?

:D

Naw, "Sprout" has just been playing and doing well at DFW area tournament he is starting to feel like a local :D

as far as the layout, if I remember correctly, last year we played the Shorts at ZBoaz and Weatherford on Saturday and the longs at ZBoaz on sunday Morning. Then we played 9 holes at Weatherford.

What is different Chris

Well I haven't played in a lot of DG tournaments so I'm not sure how they all work. This one was only my 3rd and first A tier. And due to a freak accident I was unable to finish. :mad:That's a whole other story.

However, I will have to say that I think Mace and Crew are doing a great job!!!

I can't imagine what it would be like to run a tournament that is already full at 180 players the day before. Only to get setup the day of and have something like 30 more players standing in line asking to get in. :confused:

In ball golf tournaments, which I have played for 20+ years, this just isn't possible. I would have to guess that an A Tier event would be comparable to a state level ball golf tournament or even a higher level tournament considering the world class players here this weekend.

And in most cases those entries are closed a week before or up to a month before in some cases. On occasion a wait list is available. And if your not contacted before the day the tournament starts, because someone did call in in advance and withdraw, then you just have to go to the course and take your chance. And there are only a handfull of players who will even take this chance at getting in.

Another big difference is that ball golf tournaments at this level are started via tee times and not a shotgun start. So you could be waiting around next to the starter all day as he checks the players in 10 min prior to their tee time to see if there are any no shows. If no one checks in then you get a spot. Otherwise your waiting until the next group and so on. I've known guys who have gotten in and others who showed up at 7:00am and then get back into their car at 2:30pm because they didn't get in.

With a shotgun start your forced to check in all players prior to the start so you can see if anyone hasn't shown up and if you have a spot available. What I learned this weekend is that is a tough job when your forced into it at the last minute because you want to accommodate as many players as possible.

Overall I'd have to say that the majority are having a great time and taking the rest in stride.

It's 2:00 I played advanced payed $72 there were 65 or something people in my division. I payed this money in advance to make sure I got a spot. Now I'm at home because of whatever reason it was to let in an extra 20 or 30 people. Those same people will be back next year getting in on saturday. (It worked this year) However I should have played better golf or lack their of but still payed my money to play 3 1/2 rounds. I still had nine holes who's to say I wouldn't ace. So I was sold on something false. My bad. Intermediate divison no cuts were made oh by the way they only paid $52. So where is the incentive. I think the advanced divison really got hosed this weekend. Two full rounds from that crap course somebodys probably going to get hit with a foul ball. Anything can happen in nine holes. Will I play another event probably but very unhappy with the way it was ran this weekend.

3rd round scores are up -

Is the fianals, a final nine, or is it where the men and women get paired together?

Nice Job :D

if you want some of the Lone Star State up there try Eric McCabe and JD Ramirez at first and third.



Eric McCabe is Sprout. That last time a stayed at his house he lived in Emporia Kansas. Did he move to Texas over the winter?


my bad...I've always seen him here for alot of Tx events and had somehow gotten the idea he was from Austin.
Tx would be proud to have him though ;)

I was just messing with you. His bro lives in TX so he spends some time there. :cool:

Cale wins!

sounds like a lot of sour grapes to me. by the way, the only reason mace had to take waiting list entries was due to some technical difficulties on the site. If you paid extra, it's because you didn't sign up early enough. If you got cut, it's because you didn't play well enough. Please, for the love of whatever diety you want to believe in, quit crying and blaming other people. By the way, I took myself right out of easy cash during that final 9, so my experience wasn't all that great either... but at least I can admit that it was *my* fault.

I expect whining from some of the pros, but we ams usually suck it up and deal.

Great show, Mace. See you again very soon.

It is #$*&$! that we had to play from the shorts after playing that pitch and putt course.

Hole 8 from the fly pad?
Last Time I play z-boaz open and I am a local. :confused:




I'm sure you will be missed. Please reconsider playing next year, it won't be the same without you and your #$*&$! ***** comments.

The payout page looks out of whack..Nice 2nd Coda and 3rd Twisted

Way to go Tabor - another OMB win!

Josh . .your my hero. . . . .This weekend was like coming to Pease Park in Austin . . .Playing all short positions . . . then going to Zilker Park playing it twice. . . then coming back and playing the front 9 longs. . . but everyone else . . .enjoy Pease Park short and longs. . . . . . slurp slurp . . . . Wish I could of played Z Boaz for the second time in my life . . . .O well . . . .. . Is it fun? ;)

A few strokes easier would be an understatement. It's sad that advanced showed up for the Z Boaz Open and only played one around from the shorts at Z and two rounds on the lame temp course.

MC



. . ..Well Said . . . .Thank You. . .

by the way, I'm 99% sure that the post under josh mac's name above wasn't made by him. he's rated in advanced, so he wouldn't have been complaining about being forced to play advanced...

Josh, if that wasn't you, you might want to lock your computer so your friends don't make you look bad on the boards. If it was... WTF? I know you better than that...


On an unrelated note, even though I let the final 9 tear apart a somewhat decent tournament showing, I'm having a lot of fun in advanced. Meeting new players, competing with some really talented individuals, making some good friends. For all you baggers thinking about staying in intermediate to get one more win... come on up, you'll be glad you did :). Great showing for all divisions this weekend. Again, hats off to Maceman on a very well run event. Few TDs could have managed to pull this one off, but after a couple (very) minor hiccups, it ended up being a top-notch event.

yea yea... im coming

just need to get the kid to come with me

also, is the final 9 scores going to be added to our results allowing actuall finishing places to be posted? Imagine so, but thought I would ask.

move up you baby :mad:

Who designed the temp course that was played at Z-Boaz? Heard it was the S H I double hockey sticks!

This point always get's proven @ an event of this size.
You can never make everybody happy....
Hey Par Role, get your donkey back up here and I will smear your arse all over the Z ..... You got a place to crash.

CGF- you play Open, what the advanced players did is of no concern to you , at least it should not be .

Anybody else that has a complaint, I look forward to seeing you @ 6:00 Saturday morning for the 7th annual Z-Boaz Open, around this time of year 2008.... Your help will be appreciated ;)

As far as some cards playing the holes from the long tee's on the short rounds , pay attention @ the players meeting . We did have a volunteer put the tee signs in the wrong place, so take it out on him, or, see you @ 6:00 Saturday morning for the 7th annual Z-Boaz Open, around this time of year 2008.... Your help will be appreciated ;)

Thanks to everybody whom made it out ... Cale, you are a stud.
