Fun weekend run by some top notch people. Thanks brian for all you do for the north texas area. Hamsterman and discboomer shouldnt be overlooked either.

Has this event ever been run on two weekends? Would be nice to spectate Pro weekend with as many big names as show up. I dont know how realistic that is or how it would change the event.

I did post a couple of times under Flesner's name.

I was disappointed that I came down to play Z Boaz and got two rounds of a temp course that didn't suit my game as well as Z Boaz. I scrapped around a lot at that course and made it out without too much damage, so I guess I don't have too much room to complain. I would have rather seen something difficult set up for a temp course...make people earn their birdies and 3's rather than have several must hit holes. That's what makes Z Boaz so great and why I showed up: it has many deuces out there, but you have to throw a great shot and make a great putt. That's the type of golf I showed up to play and instead played a course that I could have played here in OK and saved 50 bucks in gas.

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



when nearly 1/3 of the field plays it wrong maybe there's a bigger problem than not paying attention at the players meeting...

My biggest complaint about this weekend was the douchebag that has my putter ....I had it at the players meeting and I go pick up the cards and then its gone? wtf???

If you stole it out of my bag like it appears happened, BAD things are in your future Karam's a bee itch. And if somehow it jumped out of my bag, you found it and didn't turn it in, I hope you 4 putt with it every time you use it.

If anyone see' someone putting with my AVIAR with the big K on the back, feel free to throw a roc at him ;)

I think it was better than that. I think it was a better course than the previous temp course.

Well then I guess Chris gets to design the temp course for next year .... Get ready folks, 18 RHBH hyzers coming right up......... My predictions .... CFles in @ -18 par for one round ..... :D

We had mostly good feedback from players about the course, it flowed well considering it had never been played ever ...

I must ask myself, would we be hearing this much from CGF if he had shot better this weekend ???

I'll take responsibility for playing it wrong, I've played that lame-o short tee on 8 before so I should have known, but at the players meeting when the TD is saying play short tees on 1,8,10,8,6,31,19,26 was I supposed to be taking notes? should I bring a pen and paper next time?

The back of the scorecards said something completely different than what was said at the players meeting so who was I to believe.

It's OK to say we may have made a mistake.

My beef, that was more frustrating was about that whole situation that someone put a trash can over the tee after half the groups went through it...who is to say that other groups behind us didn't make the same mistake that 25 players before made if the trash can wouldn't have been placed there. The trash can should have never been placed on the tee so that everyone would have had a fair shake on the circumstance, because there is NO WAY that anyone would have played it wrong if the trash can was on the tee when we got there.

Feb 12 2007, 12:49 PM
Why are you all over Brians nuts lee?



Because, Brian, Brandon, Jason, Ginetta,Ray, Lammyhamster, myself, and several others just sacraficed an entire weekend busting our arses to give you an opportunity to blow up on your home course. WFT man, NOTHING WILL EVER BE PERFECT and you have the balls to jump on here and bash the people ( a staff of volunteers ) that just spent the past 72 hours of their lives trying to provide 209 people with a enjoyable tournament experience.....

You are a true inspiration to all. I guess it take's more than cashing @ an event to be a true professional ...

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.

The temp course was fine. You guys did well with the space you had to work with -- I think it suffers more by comparison to the Z than anything...

The confusion on #8...heck, I had a local on my card and it didn't even occur to him to play the other teepad...the fact that the long box was clearly marked Hole #8 didn't help either...I heard (here comes hearsay and conjecture, y'all /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif) that (one of) the card(s) behind us put the trash can on the long pad (helping the rest of the groups out, and altering the course?) ...I wonder if my card would have misplayed that hole had we walked up the hill to the long pad and found a trash can on it? no sour grapes, I'm just saying that a number of cards did misplay the course in that exact same way, and there was perhaps the potential for more of the cards to misplay the course in the exact same way...oh well, dem's da breaks ;)

...had a great time this weekend, I will definitely be back to the Z next year! Many thanks to Maceman and staff!

I can say with confidence that Team Donkey had a blast. Thanks to Mace and all the volunteers and THE COOK! The brisket was great.
I wish I would've gotten to play the Mighty-Z twice instead of 1.5 times, but I won't lose any sleep over it. For all the people #$*&$! about the temp course, I didn't see that many people "lighting it up". So it was challenging enough for pros and ams alike.
The only suggestion I have is if you tell everyone at the players meeting that everything you are saying is on the back of the scorecards, MAKE SURE IT IS THERE. Luckily, I was paying attention but Mace was blazing through the instructions and such.
1st time Z-Boazer and I will def. be back next year. Good to see all the OK and TX guys. Great event and the skins were awesome. 1st A-tier cash too.

Thanks Mace's and Staff! It's not easy running a tournament, especially when you have 200 + people show up! Can't make everyone happy, and 99% of the time the people complaining don't do ANYTHING to help you out!
I've NEVER missed a ZBoaz event, and probably never will. been to all of them.
Anyway, thanks from the KS crew, we had a LOAD of people there this year..and expect to see some Texans in Emporia for the Glass Blown Open in Aug!!!!!!

Cale won Piney Woods Open, Big Show Cedar Hill, Big Show Z-Boaz open.... WOW.. E-mac got the MJCO months back. Smoking hot Discraft golfers.

The skins match did happen. There was a push all the way until hole 7 when every guy hit early wood except Cale who pured it all the way to within putting distance. That earned Cale and partner (sorry I forgot who the women were paired with) $350.00 each. I believe Coda and partner took 1 skin for $50.00 each and McCabe and partner took the final $200.00 skin. Highlights for me were Cale's drive on 7, Coda's 450 foot spike hyzer with a firebird on hole 4, and Coda's 350ish foot thumber into a headwind on modified hole 12 to park the team's second shot.

I have more Aviars in the vault but the fact of #1 putter missing 20 minutes before the 1st hole tickled my toenails....

I had been practicing all week with that putter and my "dying quail" putting style with it. Then at the last minute i had to get another putter and resort to the "flubbering duck" putting stlye needless to say the flubbering duck turned into a "limp monkey schlong" style putt on my way to posting an AWESOME -1 on the pitch and putt course.

I don't really need it back but if any of ewes see some chump putting with it, please kick him in the bozak and tell him it's not 1991 and It's not cool to be down with OPP (Other Peoples Plastic) :p

The trash can should have never been placed there so that EVERYONE would have had a fair shake on the circumstance, because there is NO WAY that anyone would have played it wrong if the trash can (and the tee sign) was on the tee when we got there.



You make a valid point. I was wondering whom moved that trash can?????



Barry said that he put the trash can on the tee after his group went through the hole.

Feb 12 2007, 07:55 PM
The interesting thing is that Barry could have been penalized for doing that if the situation was reversed and the trash can was put on an unused tee in FRONT of the one to be used. The fact that some players played the hole before the tee had a trash can on it doesn't matter from a rules standpoint because you can change things behind a tee during a round, like maybe moving a bench or repositioning a temp tee sign or putting a broom back in its holder, etc.

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



Bump!


Just a brief note from the gallery: Willy C. and I played the temp course between rnds. Sat. ( taking advantage of a gracious invitation, thnx Brian and Lee ) and enjoyed the heck out of it. On Sun. I had the priveledge of watching some top notch competition by some of the best in the world on that course, and watching them play finesse and talent vs. plain power was everything a gallery wanted to see.
Congrats to all the winners which includes the guys running it.


Brian and myself.

The temp course was fine. You guys did well with the space you had to work with -- I think it suffers more by comparison to the Z than anything...




I thought it was awesome. I did not play, just watched.

There were some seriously long holes, and the pros were really uncorking. Interesting use of the soccer goals.

Saw an ace too.

The temp course was a fine alternative to the Weatherford course that was used in years past. I hope that we don't see to much more complaining or else it might be back to Weatherford next year.

I actually liked weatherford. :confused: The temp course had a lot of decent holes but when I talked to everyone about it the felt like played a round on "autopilot" and didn't really have to think about any shots. Z Boaz on the otherhand makes you think about nearly every shot.

I did not get a chance to make this tourney, my choice. I have read back to page 97 and all I see is alot of complaining. For those that feel they got hosed for whatever reason, come next year 2008 don't play. You had your fun now go away or even better give a helping hand and then you can get on here and complain about your own work. As for those that put in there free time, there are golfers out there that "DO" appreciate what you do. Like I stated I did not play for my own reasons, I could whine about no funds or did not signup last weekend or I had to work etc.
Bottom line folks it turned out to be a great weekend for some and for others not so great. This fella "Discboomer" seems to be one that wants things to be great for discgolf but for 11 pages of text to be alot of whining and crying for these folks to work their arses off, my hats off to ya. I do not know many golfers or there names on this thread but, if I said anything wrong or stepped on any toes I apologize. For the rest I play Cedar Hill and help B.Lam when possible I am not a member of any club,play minis when possible and try to support the sport and those who "Volunteer". I play Intermediate and will play anyone anytime on any course Temp or not whether I beat you or you beat me that's up to the course not the player. Brian Mace,Discboomer,Brian Lam. and any others I do not know great job keep up the work. Later Taters

...but at the players meeting when the TD is saying play short tees on 1,8,10,8,6,31,19,26 was I supposed to be taking notes? should I bring a pen and paper next time?

The back of the scorecards said something COMPLETLY different than what was said at the players meeting so who was I to believe.



I took notes on an old scorecard during the meeting. I would've rather had it in a program especially for tournament of that size. If there is a difference of opinion with others on the card it's easier to point at something in writing that I didn't scribble down myself.

Other than that, I really enjoyed the tournament. Thanks to MaceMan and the dedicated staff. Good times.

I have more Aviars in the vault but the fact of #1 putter missing 20 minutes before the 1st hole tickled my toenails....

I had been practicing all week with that putter and my "dying quail" putting style with it. Then at the last minute i had to get another putter and resort to the "flubbering duck" putting stlye needless to say the flubbering duck turned into a "limp monkey schlong" style putt on my way to posting an AWESOME -1 on the pitch and putt course.

I don't really need it back but if any of ewes see some chump putting with it, please kick him in the bozak and tell him it's not 1991 and It's not cool to be down with OPP (Other Peoples Plastic) :p

If we did that , then they would only get to play the Z one and a half rounds.

As the director of the Funkytown Flyers Club, I feel confident that we will have another course in the ground by this time next year . Possibly the next alternate course for the Z-Boaz Open...... If all goes as planned , the quality of this new course will leave no room for complaints....

Agreed, but they had to come from somewhere. Most of them were well enough, but a guy on my card got robbed of an ace on that portable Discatcher Sport. the lightweight metal of the single row of chains just couldn't handle a teebird from over 250 feet away. One can always adjust one's putting style to compensate for basket quality... but the poor guy aced that hole and it didn't count.

I'm not complaining, I really did have a great time. I did, however offer up my basket (heavy, regulation size, and with two rows of good chains) and nobody wanted to use it. Next year, let's get that sort of stuff ironed out more than a couple weeks before the event :)

Feb 13 2007, 12:47 PM
I know it's been called the Z-Boaz open but the fact of the matter is that the Z-Boaz course really doesn't factor in the final results.

You can't win the Z-Boaz Open at Z-Boaz you can only lose it there.

The only way you can win the Z-Boaz open is KILL the pitch and putt temp course or Weatherford, or where ever the other course is. Just look at the scores from the first round and you see that the players that played well finished well unless they tanked at Z-Boaz.

I would be a big fan of 3 rounds at Z-Boaz and having multiple weekends.... if people want to watch they can still come watch when we play. Cuz it currently plays more like the Temp Course Open

Feb 13 2007, 12:56 PM
I had a great tournament and had a good time even though I got cut after round 3 and I didn't even play that bad. I was blown away by how many good players there were in Advanced. The weekend gave me a ton of perspective on how much work I need to do to move up the ranks.

The temp course was a good use of the land and played quite well. The only problem that I had was with the short tee placements and the small details that no one was truly sure about. I will volunteer my time for next year to type out an extra sheet for the rules and other various notes for the course. I will donate all the ink and paper for the golfers next year. We shot from the short tee on 8 but we were scared that we would get penalized because no one really knew where exactly to shoot. Asking players to take notes during the players meeting is not feasible because even if a player takes notes, there is no guarantee he heard it correctly. The only real solution is to give a handout with rules/regulations on it as a supplement to the course. The map of the temp course was awesome, we just needed a map of the rules and various tournament nuances. Like I said, I had a great time and would have no problem volunteering my services to make sure everyone at the tourney knows exactly what needs to be known. They gave us a sheet at the Waco Tournament and that thing got used on every hole and was referenced for almost every question that came up on our card.

Looking forward to next year and looking forward to playing Zboaz more than once.

Long before you were golfing, The Big Show was 3 weekends, and the Z-Boaz open was played entirely at Z-Boaz. It looks like this is what the players want....again. If i were healthy enough to play, i would have wanted to play Z-Boaz...the permanent 18 hole course, for all of my rounds. Maybe that will happen, maybe it won't.

Feb 13 2007, 01:17 PM
I didn't get to play at Z-Boaz...it's tough enough getting to play at the Cedar Hill event since it's my busy time of the year. I've seen this event go from 3 weekends to 2 over the last few years, and I really think it should stay at 2. It's very tough on Brian, the staff, the travelling players (especially Pro & Am carpoolers), etc. for split Pro and Am weekends. As soon as Mace splits it up, attendence would likely fall again, and the vicious cycle would continue. Hopefully Lee is right that there will be a second Z-caliber course nearby and everyone will get to play 2 rounds at each. If that's the case, the skins match may need to be eliminated, or an hour earlier start time would be needed.

I'll take responsibility for playing it wrong, I've played that lame-o short tee on 8 before so I should have known, but at the players meeting when the TD is saying play short tees on 1,8,10,8,6,31,19,26 was I supposed to be taking notes? should I bring a pen and paper next time?

Barry said that he put the trash can on the tee after his group went through the hole.



just another fine example of sir macealot's unequivocal organization skills. the very first card that started on hole 8 for the tournament played the wrong tee right off the bat. 33 people total played the wrong tee and more would have played it wrong if not for the trash can being there.

it wouldn't be so tough if they started work a little earlier than the week before. you know like year round upkeep. out of towners don't see that course most of the year but i will tell you right now it is a freaking trash dump 51 weeks out of the year and then there is a mad scramble to get it cleaned up right before Z-boaz open. and even at that, it wouldn't get done if not for the people who volunteer to go out and clean it up.

First I would like to thank everyone for all of the good things they said. I would also like to thank everyone who had bad things to say, but knew how to say them. I can appreciate everyone's opinion, and I am doing my best to understand your view point as well as taking notes to make changes that will avoid the problems that arose this weekend.

There are many things that many of you don't understand about running an event of any size. Some of you that are making the most noise couldn't even run a weekly one round event without a significant amount of help....I am not going to name many names but Chris Flesner you are at the top of this list, you need to work on your game (obviously if you had played better you would have been a little more silent) and your image and STFU! You are clueless and your people skills suck. You don't know the first thing about course design and even less about event operation. I hope you don't play next year and you go back to wherever your real home course is because it is not Z Boaz. You came here, you are not from here, and I have heard enough from you to last a life time.

To the rest of you. I apologize for the problems that arose that were a result of something we did wrong.

I will take the blame from the problem on hole 8. I was not in a position to make it clear to the person that put out those tee signs during the first round because I was busy setting up the other course. I also overlooked the details on the back of the score card. The fact is that I overlooked this 3 times. During the years that this event was split we used the short tee's instead of moving baskets, we have used short tee's the first round every year since there were short tee's, and I did go over it and over it at the players meeting. It didn't occur to me that it was unnecessary until this years event was already under way.

Those of you that got cut, I offer my deepest apologies. I personally hate cuts in almost any situation. I knew this would be a source of controversy when I made the decision. I was left with two tough choices due to the technical difficulties on our web site. There were people that were showing up that thought they had paid, but their transaction didn't go through for whatever reason (likely a number being out of place). So either I turn them away today, send them home mad. Or I can let them in, and make a cut later after everyone has gotten to play. I choose the second option because it seamed the lesser of two evil's. Again I apologize to all players that were cut, I will avoid that at all costs in the future.

As for the attendance. I was very relieved at the end of the day on Saturday when everyone played all of their holes long before sun set. Meaning we got away with it. We got lucky. We will not be in that situation again. It was the toughest day I have faced in all of the events I have run. I also apologize to everyone for stuffing all of the pools with all of these players. It is not fair to all of you that paid ahead of time. I was pushed into a corner and had to make a decision that produced mixed results. We will work out the details on the web. We will also stick to the line we drew ahead of time, and accept the results at the time.

Sorry about all of that, it won't be a problem next year. I am not exactly sure what we will do for next year but I am already considering options that will make all of this better.

As for the quality vs. the amount of Z Boaz Golf you played. Both courses are in South Z Boaz Park so all of your golf was Z Boaz this year, just not in the true spirit of Z Boaz DG. Sorry for that, but it was necessary. The one problem with using a temp course is, until a large group of players play it there is no real way of knowing how it will play across the field.

We split these events for 2 years and attendance dropped. The idea with the split weekends was based on the fact that it bothered me that many players were not getting the full dose of Z Boaz, but attendance told me something different. We ran the Z Boaz Open on 2 different weekends complete with a skins match for the Advanced just like the Pro's. There was such a lack of interest from the Adv women (as well as generally speaking) that I had to raffle off the last ladies spot and Jake has not gotten over it yet :D. It is a lot of work to run any event on 2 weekends. It is also significantly more expensive. If there is not enough interest it is not worth the effort.

Every year we have run this event on the same weekend it has filled or overfilled, on split weekends we have struggled to get 70 people. I can't explain it fully but it seams to me that players from across the board want to play in this event when it is all divisions. It is better combined for many reasons.

We will do everything we can to make it better in the future.

Thanks to all that made the trip, from near of far.

Thanks to everyone that helped in any way at any time to make these events happen. It is a lot of work from so many different directions, we couldn't do this without all of you.

Feb 13 2007, 02:38 PM
For those interested in the skins, here is a more detailed description than I�ve seen posted previously. Teams were:

Cale � Mel
Coda � Val
JD � Burl
Eric � Des

Each hole is worth $100.

Guys drove the first hole and all made it through the tunnel. Val threw an awesome high forehand roller from the left woods to about 30 ft. Everyone else hit trees and left long putts. Cale hits a 50 ft. jump putt to put the pressure on Coda. Coda nails it to push the hole.

Ladies drive on two and for the most part leave their partners with pretty difficult shots. The men manufacture shots that leave putts 30-40 ft. out. The ladies hit metal and chains, but no one finds the bottom the basket and the hole pushes to three.

The men awe the 150 or so spectators with booming drives but leave no real birdie putts and the hole pushes to 4.

Des and Val drive down the left side, Mel down the middle and Burl rips one down the right side. Cale throws a perfect S under the big tree and almost skips in the basket. Coda throws a huge hyzer over the road and over the trees to about 30 feet. Eric and JD catch trees on their attempts. Val cans the 30 footer to put the pressure on Mel. Mel calmly hits the middle of the chains from about 20 ft to push $400 to the fifth hole (I�m glad I didn�t have to make that putt!).

Eric throws an amazing drive to about 20-25 ft. No one else comes close. Des for $500 hits high on the left chains, catches the back rim and spits out.

No real birdie chances on 6, but Coda throws a huge high annee with a cactus sticking in his arse up over everything to save par.

Cale nails the drive on 7. JD lays one down the middle and the others struggle. Burl catches a limb on her upshot and leaves Mel with the easy layup and Cale drops in the gimmee for $700.

Holes 8 and 9 seem anticlimactic after that and Coda throws a nice thumber on 8 to win with a par and Des make a putt to win the last hole which was worth $200.

Lots of sweet shots from the men and ladies in front of a great size gallery.

For all the complainers, Whaaa! Great tournament Mace.

I will take the blame from the problem on hole 8. I was not in a position to make it clear to the person that put out those tee signs during the first round because I was busy setting up the other course. I also overlooked the details on the back of the score card. The fact is that I overlooked this 3 times. During the years that this event was split we used the short tee's instead of moving baskets, we have used short tee's the first round every year since there were short tee's, and I did go over it and over it at the players meeting. It didn't occur to me that it was unnecessary until this years event was already under way.




last year we played all longs from cement tee pads every round

I have gained more respect for TD's since I quit playing (taking time off) than when I was playing. It is so much easier to complain when you are playing the tournament. I have played in some really great tournaments. However, none was perfect. All had flaws. I could find something to complain about at each.
Casual observance is better than even volunteer assistance in gaining respect. I sure am glad I am not the person who volunteered my time and put the tee sign on hole 8. I am sure that person feels real bad about what happened.
Only a couple times I was on that side of the tent. Each time Saturday, I heard Brian Mace say he hopes everyone finishes before dark. He was genuinely concerned. I could tell by his demeanor that he was concerned about EVERYONE having a good time.
Additionally, as a casual observer, I am able to walk around and watch people at all levels play different holes. I heard some confusion. I witnessed some confusion and frustration. Some of the frustration came from players I never thought I would see it from.

I guess it is true for disc golf as in ball golf, a round of golf shows a person's true character in life.

Feb 13 2007, 03:16 PM
Thanks, Mace, for a satisfying weekend of golf. I would have preferred warmer weather, but I think I can blame the meteorologists for that.
As for the temp course, it was a nice way to ease into the tournament, knowing what lay ahead for the next two rounds :o. Although there were a number of "must have" holes and relatively few situations that could truly ruin your round (the 5 and 6 i took on zboaz #6 and 2, respectively, come to mind), it was a course that great disc golfers SHOULD have been able to master the first time through, and I think those who didn't are the ones voicing the loudest complaints. Not every round in every tournament must be played on a course that requires marksmanship to get 2's and 3's, and that's what some players aren't willing to come to grips with. It was rewarding to play fairly well on the temp course and get the opportunity to play with Barry and Pepper for the first time during our second round, and for that I am thankful.
Regarding the fiasco at hole 8 (shorts), it was my card that made the decision to move the trashcan onto the long box before we played the hole. We were not fully aware of any groups who had played from that position in front of us, but we realized that others might be confused by the tee sign and relatively inconspicuous rubber flypad at the short position, so we decided as a group to save those behind us from that misfortune if possible. Say what you will, but we were simply trying to help our fellow golfers, not penalize those who had already made a mistake.
Once again, thanks for your hard work, even if you were forced to accomodate for more players than you had anticipated. ;)

I played like crap there is no hiding from that fact, but I do know you should not see 5 baskets when you are playing your hole. Dont worry I will never play another one of your events agian, and you can take that to the bank. :p

Mace (2),

Thanks for the event. I put the trash can on #18 short so no one would go there, and moving the trash can to #8 was a good idea, those that missed it, yeah it stinks, but the back of the card I thought had all the #'s of the short pads. It was my second time on the course, and I did not get too confused, but fortunately I had a local on my card.

I would have preferred to play the big course 2x, was unaware of the format, and am not a big fan of temp courses, but I did not read any information about the event, and headed in the cart down from KC with the 14-16 of us. So I have no one to blame but me, and as bad as I play I was not going to pony up the extra $$, I just wanted to play some warm disc golf, so you guys sucked in that category, and I think that you should move the jet stream when you have a tourney for all of us. Make it happen!!

I think overall none of us played as well as we would have liked, but given the reality that people drove over 500 miles that did NOT pre-register, Mace did not ruin the weekend for a few, he let everyone in. Not sure I would have, but I bet I would be upset with people that drive that far and do not register. You knew you were coming even Wednesday, get in front of a computer and get paid. You can always add holes in a crunch and that happened.

Who knows what is right, but taking time to run an event is never easy, when you have 27 people show up the day before and try to get in, you have a decision to make. Fortunately for us in KC we have enough courses where we could alter the layout of what courses would be played, how many people would complain about that though? No one I am sure!
:)

Wide Open is 25 years old we want to have a great event. ALL Divisions will play 3 days, and we want it to be the biggest event ever in the history of the Wide Open, that means more than 330 people we want, help us make the storied event even better by having you here!

Thanks for the undying devotion to team Mace and staff, it is never easy and I personally thank you for having a cut, the Stars game was a great way to end the weekend, especially from the 3rd row!!

THanks folks!

There are many things that many of you don't understand about running an event of any size. Some of you that are making the most noise couldn't even run a weekly one round event without a significant amount of help....I am not going to name many names but Chris Flesner you are at the top of this list, you need to work on your game (obviously if you had played better you would have been a little more silent) and your image and STFU! You are clueless and your people skills suck. You don't know the first thing about course design and even less about event operation.

You came here, you are not from here, and I have heard enough from you to last a life time.



lol good one Mace, that was funny, I spit up Mt Dew all over my computer.

Back to hole #8...Do all the players a favor and get rid of the lame-o short tee on that hole and bring back the short pin...That's one of the best holes out at Z-Boaz along with short pin #2...You guys spent alot of time and effort building those sweet tee pads, there is no need to play that lame hole...Rubber is meant for condoms not tee pads :p

I know I make this argument every year, but the course designer in me cringes when we don't play the best holes in lew of longer holes...Longer is not always better. Short pins on 2 &amp; 8 are WAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better holes. Long 2 is bad pin placement out there in the middle of the field...rip that pin and tuck it behind the Cedar Tree up on the top level and bring the road into play, now that would be a good hole (GOOD Move on the MANDO on that hole by the way)



Mace you know I'm not mad atcha, I have ran tournaments, one that had over 140 people and I know it can be a pain in the rear. There is always things that happen that you never think will happen.

By the way my putter has been located so no need to throw ROCs at anyone. :D I really wasn't mad I just wanted to hear Mel Gibson say GIVE ME BACK MY SON about 40 times :D


Thanks for the event. I put the trash can on #18 short so no one would go there, and moving the trash can to #8 was a good idea, those that missed it, yeah it stinks, but the back of the card I thought had all the #'s of the short pads. It was my second time on the course, and I did not get too confused, but fortunately I had a local on my card.


The back of our scorecards said play all long tees, but I heard at the players meeting play short tees, just forgot about the ole rubber one.

No worries about moving the trash can on the tee, It's was just $40, It's not like I need it or anything, but whenever my baby wants that new video game I'll have to tell HIM that I couldn't afford it cause some donkey moved a trash can on the tee pad......JUST KIDDIN! Blahhhhhh Blahhhhhhh :D

Feb 13 2007, 04:19 PM
I agree- holes 2 and 8 are better from the short pin location;it makes hole#2 a little easier but on hole #8 IMO it adds risk/reward.oops I just agreed with an Okie. :D

Feb 13 2007, 04:42 PM
For those whom dont know, we have issues with 8's short pin. That lock for the bucket will have to be cut. Easier said than done .......

Brian currently has 9 sleeve's for the Z. Expect things to change.... For example, we should be getting the real short tee for hole 4 back in the ground ( yeah !!! )

I would expect to see an additional sleeve for hole's 1, 4, 5, 10, 11, 13, 16, 17......... These are more or less guesstimates/. Who knows what will eventually happen..

ninafofitre
Feb 13 2007, 04:53 PM
If I had sleeves and a say I would.......

Add a longer pin location on 14 of the little hill so that putting can become a tense situation.

15 could go longer and closer to the creek now ...THAT WOULD BE SUPER SWEEEEEET!! turn that bad boy into a legitimate par 4.

How about another sleeve on 17 move it right and the other side of the creek.....WOWZA!!!!

if you wanted to do more clearing on 16 you could take a left turn about 100 ft from where the basket is now and add another 150-200 ft on it, there's another par 4 to go with 4,12, and long pin 15 :DI want my designer fee :Dj/k

The only reason I even am talking on this thread about the Mighty Z is that I have been there from the beginning and I love how that track has come around over the years.

If you do some digging in there , you will find years worth of plastic. That place seems to be the Bermuda Triangle of Texas disc golf ... I literally watched a disc disappear 10 feet in front of my face one time on that hole..... AMAZING.

I'll beat you guys yet. :DShout out to Jack whose drive on the main hole of discussion; hole 8 (longs) lands about 8 ft. directly past the basket for the drop in bird. I had to hit a 25 footer to get mine! :cool: May see some of you guys in Temple next Sat.

Nope your wrong. :DWe played Longs the 2nd round because I remember Nolan shooting that sick -7.

Remember a 54 last year from the longs is the same as a 57 this year because we had an extra hole. A 57 this year from the shorts was rated 985 and last year a 54(18 holes) was rated 1021.

If that were really true, how can the top players keep their ratings where they are considering that they play more SSA 60+ courses than anyone else? Their ratings are slightly higher in B-tiers and above. Feldberg's, Barry's and Avery's ratings are always hurt more in C-tiers. Why is there a higher percentage of 1000+ rated players in the MADC area where there are more SSA 60+ courses? The myth that higher SSA courses somehow hurt ratings is just an excuse.

The Parks department has restated their strong support for the course and will be working hard to repair the baskets that have been damaged.

We are working to replace the one basket that was stolen.

There will be some rework of 12-15 due to serious erosion problems around the overflow creek.

there are a few water holes, including 2 over the pond and 2 or 3 that go near the creek.
It has some sortof open holes, but most of the course is very wooded for Texas (less open than ZBoaz or Cedar Hill)

Very long holes with tough fairways. I have not played sense last years maceman event, so hopefully it has opened up some more (in a good way)

I look forward to playing the course again, hopefully I can work it out.

The Match Play Event is moved up a week. Saturday March 3 is the date.


Might be a good idea to get some stuff posted here and at maceman.com about this event. I've attended nearly every event in this series this year (all except Crowley - including both days at the PIO) but I'm still kinda foggy as to some of the details for the next event.

Mace, what's the cost, format, sanctioning, location, etc? Inquiring minds want to know :D

Here is a little info on match play according to the USGA

Definitions
All defined terms are in italics and are listed alphabetically in the Definitions section.

2-1 General
A match consists of one side playing against another over a stipulated round unless otherwise decreed by the Committee.
In match play the game is played by holes.
Except as otherwise provided in the Rules, a hole is won by the side that holes its ball in the fewer strokes. In a handicap match the lower net score wins the hole.
The state of the match is expressed by the terms: so many �holes up�� or �all square,�� and so many �to play.��
A side is �dormie�� when it is as many holes up as there are holes remaining to be played.

2-2 Halved Hole
A hole is halved if each side holes out in the same number of strokes.
When a player has holed out and his opponent has been left with a stroke for the half, if the player subsequently incurs a penalty, the hole is halved.

2-3 Winner of Match
A match is won when one side leads by a number of holes greater than the number remaining to be played.
If there is a tie, the Committee may extend the stipulated round by as many holes as are required for a match to be won.

2-4 Concession of Next Stroke, Hole or Match
A player may concede his opponent�s next stroke at any time provided the opponent�s ball is at rest. The opponent is considered to have holed out with his next stroke and the ball may be removed by either side.
A player may concede a hole at any time prior to the start or conclusion of that hole.
A player may concede a match at any time prior to the start or conclusion of that match.
A concession may not be declined or withdrawn.
(Ball overhanging hole � see Rule 16-2.)

2-5 Doubt as to Procedure; Disputes and Claims
In match play, if a doubt or dispute arises between the players, a player may make a claim. If no duly authorized representative of the Committee is available within a reasonable time, the players must continue the match without delay. The Committee may consider a claim only if the player making the claim notifies his opponent (i) that he is making a claim, (ii) of the facts of the situation and (iii) that he wants a ruling. The claim must be made before any player in the match plays from the next teeing ground or, in the case of the last hole of the match, before all players in the match leave the putting green.
A later claim may not be considered by the Committee unless it is based on facts previously unknown to the player making the claim and he had been given wrong information (Rules 6-2a and 9) by an opponent.
Once the result of the match has been officially announced, a later claim may not be considered by the Committee unless it is satisfied that the opponent knew he was giving wrong information.

2-6 General Penalty
The penalty for a breach of a Rule in match play is loss of hole except when otherwise provided.

I have decided not to sanction this event due to the format of this event. Match play is a very fun format, but it doesn't count to your rating so it is not worth it to charge the extra money to sanction it.

Feb 21 2007, 03:34 PM
what do people think about a top 1/3 payout instead of the flat PDGA payouts since it isn't sanctioned? If the cost is the same to enter the payouts could be much better....if you play CH safe. Brian?

Lee - how many funkyones are coming that you know of? My bag tag doesn't get to see many others on our side of town :p

maceman
Feb 21 2007, 03:48 PM
I guess I am in the middle somewhere. I think that it is good to pay deeper than the top 3rd, but not all the way to top half. I am bound to the PDGA guidelines for the most part on the payout for sacntioned events. There is a %5 option in the open divisions, with no option in the am divisions this year.

<font color="green"> Ladies! The Paul Giles Memorial in Athens, TX (#9 on the North TX Series) is being held on April 28 & 29. There's nothing else going on that weekend in Texas so you should all try to come out and play. We hardly ever have a good turn-out of women, so newcomers to the sport will all have a fair chance placing. The course is beautiful and technically challenging, with long and short holes, lots of trees, water on a couple of holes - etc. Got junior boys or girls wanting more tournament experience? Bring them too! It's sure to be a great tournament, what with Maceman as the TD and all. Hope to see you there! While I am relatively new to the sport, I'll be playing Women's Rec - and I'd love to see more women out there in all the divisions </font> :D

Mace,

Were you going to do trophy metal mini's for the top 3 spots in the major divisions for both of these events? If so, are you going to mail them out or do we need to show up at an event somewhere?

Thanks,

maceman

I will be doing Mini's for top 3 in divisions at Cedar Hill that had enough people to warrent that, in others 1st/2nd (smaller divisions) or just 1st (smallest). I will have them available (I hope) next weekend if they come in. I usually make them available for pickup at an event and if they aren't picked up them I mail them.

I am also doing Metal Mini's for The Mid-week. Doing Tiles For Z Boaz.

Not sure if you can provide a players list yet or not, but if so great and what time is the meeting on Saturday.

I talked to a few MM1 players to see if they will be able to field their own division or if we can convince them to play with the young guns.

See you Saturday

Before everyone gets on here and tells me I left off the dates on the 3 other events, I am aware of that oversight. Here is the info with the dates:

this an elimination event, but this year it is not. This 36
hole event is not sanctioned. Entry Fee�s JR $25, Rec
$30, Int $35, Adv $40, all Open $45.

You didn't want to see that mentioned a few hundred times? Don't you just hate it when something like that happens? My coworker mailed out a flyer to about 150 adults that had a date wrong! I'm sure she will get about 50 phone calls about that one. :p

Good luck to all this weekend. Wish I could be there all day. One of the simple sacrifices I made when I became a daddy.

Mace,

My memory is failing me, and I didn't have much success sifting throuh all of My Hero's song lyrics (:-P) and flesner's whining to find the answer earlier in this thread: What is the reward for event attendance during this series? Is there an event after A-Z that some of us get free entry into? I'm thinking that is the case, but I would appreciate some clarification.

Can't play this weekend (family obligations)

Can't play April 14th (to defend my last Masters win) due to a Boy Scout campout I already volenteered for.

and I don't do Doubles.

Hopefully I will make it to the skins match. Proved that you can suck and still make money last year :D
