The Woodshed & The Whippin' Post (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=paw+paw+wv&ie=UTF8&ll=39 .569176,-78.403244&spn=0.006997,0.014462&t=h&z=16&om=0)

that dude in the woodshed's small pond looks like last years champ Mike Moser.

yes it is...with his RED NECK showing. He also had a RED backside..but that story is for around the campfire at the WVO 14th II.

Now, how would you know that, Susi? Wait a minute....maybe I don't want to know...

Some things are better left to the imagination :D Was up this weekend Tony and Spencer were mowing men for sure.....courses look W O N D E R F U L

1 PRO spot remains and 25 Women, Old, Real Old, pro spots remain.

Get in now!!!!!

1 PRO spot remains



that's AWESOME!

Calling all Angels.... WE need hole sponsors! Anyone with an extra $50 can get on our special list!

And of course there will be a nice parting gift for all the sponsors.

www.westvirginiaopen.com (http://www.westvirginiaopen.com) click on sponsorship....

no BOB and no Kevin, who's going to entertain me during my rounds???

which course do the old folk play twice?

John it doesn't mattter...you'd forget anyway.

The older I get the more I suffer from CRS.

CRS= Cyclone Rescue Syndrome

Susi - I keep finding cyclones w/your name on them in the absolutely deepest part of the pond. what up wit dat? Pretty salmon color

That cyclone has got to have been in that pond for a good 8-10 years...I'm trying to remember the last time I threw a cyclone! Again the CRS prevails!!!

we are still Trolling for Angels...get off your money and send it to the WVO.

Looks like the PRO field has filled...but Des is still listed in the Male ranks...if you want in...you'll need to lobby to Des and get her to move back into the Women's field.

And Des - We have some competition for you in the Women's ranks...Kristen Weidle (rating 944 and current WVO Woman Champion)and Mandi Hoffman can play PAW PAW with the best of them!!!

do we know if open is playing WS/WP/WS or WP/WS/WP?

I believe Open plays the Woodshed twice.

That is correct..asked Tone tone that same question this past weekend.

Lady is correct the OPEN players will be playing Woodshed twice and ALL the other divisions (Babes, OLD and Really OLD) are playing Whippin' Post twice. Many of the returning players will get to play a seldom see hole on the Woodshed.

Good news the OPEN division is now full and the waiting list has now opened up. Click www.wvo.eventbrite.com (http://www.wvo.eventbrite.com) place your name on this yeers' OPEN Waiting list or to Register. We currently need 25 additional players to complete a full field of pro players for this yeers' event. Things should flow much better at this yeers' event playing in foursomes.

Friday August 31st 11:00 am $50.00 a Team BYOP DOUBLES. If you did not know Lady and Cragger will celebrate their vows at 7:00 pm Friday at the Upper Pond.

Many of the returning players will get to play a seldom see hole on the Woodshed.




Huh? :confused:

that should say "seldom seen" hole...in other words on sunday you'll play a Woodshed hole with a pin placement that hasn't been used in a while.

hint - It's NOT hole 3...and it is a potential birdie.

If it's Sunday, I'm guessing only Open will play the "seldom seen" hole?

And for the record, every hole can be a potential birdie....it just depends on whether it's a birdie 2 or a birdie 3 or a birdie 4, etc. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

OK here's the commercial ...
Nate Doss steps up the tee on the last hole of the Worlds with a 1 stroke lead. Nate has a difficult up and down shot left to win the tourney. He's got trees all around him and only a tiny hole to throw through. Some dude comes out of nowhere and starts telling Nate to throw a tomahawk over the clearing in the trees and park it next to the hole. Nate asks if this dude is another pro. He says, "No but I did stay and a Holiday Inn Express last night."

I'm Qualified as well



Schick's in too! :p

so if your already qualified...does that mean you can bring your "B" game to Paw Paw?

I beg your pardon!?! We West Virginians a far too cultured to reduce ourselves to using "miller high life" cans as torches. Now if that were a PBR can, I'd be woo-hooing right along with you...obviously the photo is from Missouri and has been upgraded with the WV logo!

Hey now. Miller high life isn't the <font color="red"> campagne </font> of beers for nothing. I always thought West Virgina was a big fan of the Old Milwaukee's Best Ice Light.

West Virgina

Did you do that on purpose?

and drinking Milwaukee's Best Ice is like kissing your sister...oh wait, bad parallel...

i saw the whole movie like 15 years ago on a tape from a friend who got it off pbs, it's great- seek it out if possible. jesco has gained more minor league celebrity recently because he's been adopted by fellow minor league celeb (but one of my favorites) hank williams 3.

i think they also hold an annual jescofest out there somewhere. maybe we can bring him to the wvo next year, although if kevin is back we may not need him. :D

A few more tasteless jokes...

What's the difference between Virginia and West Virginia?
In Virginia, Moosehead is a beer. In West Virginia it's a misdemeanor.

Why did God invent armadillos?
So that rednecks can have 'possum on the half shell.

Nice, Susi. :)

Coming from Texas, I always heard it as:

Why did the chicken cross the road?
To show the armadillo it can be done!

your work MUST be slow Mark...sheesh....anyway question...Are there going to be infamous "pizza rolls"?????

PS Great picture Gotcha, Look how young they all look :D:D:D

Yes Lady there will be Pizza Rolls...which reminds me...I need to get them ordered.

And I'll make a double decker pizza roll for you to serve as a WV wedding cake!

...with shotgun shells for candles!!! :D

...with shotgun shells for candles!!! :D



Cigarettes last longer and aren't as dangerous.

how many west virginians does it take to eat a possum?

2--one to eat, the other to watch for traffic.



A West Virginian hitchhiker was picked up by a guy in a big Lincoln Continental. The West Virginian noticed a bunch of golf tees on the front seat and asked, "What are those things for?" The driver said, "They're to hold my balls while I drive." "Boy," exclaimed the West Virginian, "these Lincoln Continentals have everything, don't they?"

...with shotgun shells for candles!!! :D



Cigarettes last longer and aren't as dangerous.



yeah but whoever heard of a "cigarette wedding"?

Cigarettes last aren't as dangerous.



I'm sure some one will beg to differ.

"so i was on circles and i, like, hit a tree, and it went way over...."

http://www.sharkysshots.com/albums/userpics/10002/normal_wvaopen20060006.JPG

Craig would surely "beg to differ" OMG Let the count down to wedding day begin.......7 days........... :D

Beth...one question... ARE YOU SURE?

Because you are getting married in WV and we know that you and Craig are not Bother and Sister...we may need to get special dispensation from the local juridiction to perform the this slightly irregular WV wedding!

Cigarettes last aren't as dangerous.



I'm sure some one will beg to differ.



I know. But they are only dangerous if you inhale the smoke :D

What I want to know is when people get divorced in WV, are they still considered brother and sister afterwards?

Thanks

77 hrs, 18 minutes to ETA

Due to the popularity of the Survivor shows, WVU-TV is planning to do its
own show entitled "Survivor: West Virginia Style."

The contestants will start in Paw-Paw, travel down to New Martinsville
and on to Parkersburg. From there they will head over to Ripley and Odessa
and Summersville. They will then proceed up to Buckhannon, Clarksburg and
Fairmont, then west through Barrackville, Hundred and Bannen; then up to
Cameron, Lone Oak and back over to Paw Paw.

Each will be driving a pink Volvo with New Jersey license plates and large
bumper stickers that read


"NASCAR Sucks"

"Go Pitt"

"Copenhagen is for idiots"

"Hillary in 2008"

"Deer Hunting is Murder"

"Say No to Budweiser"

and

"I'm Here to Confiscate Your Guns."

The first one to make it back to Paw Paw alive wins.

I'll have tony post the waiting list.

But even though we have a waiting list, the folling usually happens...

A field fills...

A waiting list starts...

Tournament day, all the pre-registrants fail to show...

The waiting listers figure they won't get in, so they don't show...

We end up with 8 shy of a full field!

moral: YOU SIGN UP - SHOW UP

Open Waiting list is as follows...

Graham Bob MPO 6341 (signed up as master, would like to switch to PRO to try and qualify for USDGC)
Todd Hunter MPO 26052
Denhardt Phil MPO 21944
Bartlett Ben MPO 12883
Britt Derek MPO 27255
Morano Michael MPO 19583

so if you are on the list, you're as good as in!

see ya there, gump.

hope not to jinx, but the weather looks to be sublime (http://www.weather.com/outlook/events/sports/weekend/USWV0062?from=36hr_topnav_sports)

72 hr 42 min

Since signing up, I've heard some stories about the camping at Paw Paw. Will there be a family friendly camping area (i.e nothing more than a moderate amount of legal beverages per person)? If not where is the nearest hotel? TIA Dave Wiggins

it's a big place. i'm sure a relatively quiet place can be found. i believe the closest hotel is about 1/2 hr away in hancock, MD.

Yes Dave there is a family campground...much quieter than the rest and specifically geared toward kids being around.

The nearest hotels are in Berkely Springs, WV about a 30 min away.

there are various cabins available for rent through this company /www.berkeleyspringscottagerentals.com
304-258-5300.


this cabin is about 1/2 mile away...but I don't know if it is available for this weekend or not...

http://www.berkeleyspringscottagerentals.com/cottage.asp?code=SH

Thanks so much for the reply! It looks like the family camping will be just fine

Thanks again
Dave

David is your son coming, Master Wiggins Jr....as it will be a pleasure to meet the man I've read so much about over the years!

Now don't think I don't want to meet you...but i'll save that explanation when I meet you this weekend

And bring a babe with you so you can play mixed doubles against me and Kelly Boyce on Friday

Mark,

Yea, we're both coming. Thanks for asking. David wants to try to bag one of those USDG slots. He realizes it's a long shot, but we have heard it's the best tournament around dude, so we just wanted to be there. If he plays great and gets a USDGC slot, fantastic. If not we'll still have a great time. I'm sure. Looking forward to talking more when I get there.

Dave

It's one of the best tournaments period and in the words of Joe Mela, 'Heck, anyone can win PawPaw.' It's true, I did.

another installment of WV funnies...

Sam has been in the computer business for 25 years and is finally
sick of the stress. He quits his job and buys 50 acres of land in
West Virginia as far away from humanity as possible.

Sam sees the postman once a week and gets groceries once a month.
Otherwise it's total peace and quiet. After six months or so of
almost total isolation, he's finishing dinner when someone knocks on
his door. He opens it and there is a big, bearded West Virginian
standing there.

'Name's Enoch... Your neighbor from four miles over the ridge...
Having a party Saturday... thought you'd like to come.'

'Great,' says Sam, 'after six months of this I'm ready to meet some
local folks. Thank you.'

As Enoch is leaving he stops, 'Gotta warn you there's gonna be some
drinkin!'

'Not a problem... after 25 years in the computer business, I can do
that with the best of them.'

Again, as he starts to leave Enoch stops. 'More 'n' likely gonna be
some fightin', too.'

****, Sam thinks... tough crowd. 'Well, I get along with people.
I'll be there. Thanks again.'

Once again Enoch turns from the door. 'I've seen some wild sex at
these parties, too.'

'Now that's not a problem' says Sam, 'Remember I've been alone for
six months! I'll definitely be there ... by the way, what should I
wear to the party?'

Enoch stops in the door again and says 'Whatever you want, it's just
gonna be the two of us!'

Just checked the forecast...Looks like we may not have any storms this year - Sunny, Upper 70's / Lower 80's during the day and Upper 50's at night - ALL WEEKEND, PERFECT!!!!!!!

Stupid friend getting married...

Almost heaven, west virginia
Blue ridge mountains
Shenandoah river -
Life is old there
Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growin like a breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

All my memories gathered round her
Miners lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrops in my eye

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

I hear her voice
In the mornin hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin down the road I get a feelin
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, now country roads
Take me home, now country roads

Looks like BOB is in. LL out!

Here is some educated and cultured info on WV and a poem to follow by Louise McNeill who was born in 1911 in Pocahontas County, West Virginia, on a farm that her family had lived on for nine generations. She said of herself, "Until I was sixteen years old, until the roads came, the farm was about all I knew: our green meadows and hilly pastures, our storied old men, the great rolling seasons of moon and sunlight, our limestone cliffs and trickling springs." Louise McNeill was appointed Poet Laureate of West Virginia in 1979. She died in 1993.

West Virginia
Poem by Louise McNeill


Where the mountain river flows
And the rhododendron grows
Is the land of all the lands
That I touch with tender hands;
Loved and treasured, earth and star,
By my father's father far--
Deep-earth, black-earth, of-the-lime
From the ancient oceans' time.
Plow-land, fern-land, woodland shade,
Grave-land where my kin are laid,
West Virginia's hills to bless--
Leafy songs of wilderness;
Dear land, near land, here at home--
Where the rocks are honeycomb,
And the rhododendrons . . .
Where the mountain river runs.

&lt;singing&gt; going to the pond at Paw Paw and we're going to get married....going to get married......YEAH BABY!!!!!!!
:D:D:D:D:D;) ;) ;)

And a double wide pizza roll for a wedding cake...hoooo weee

this is gonna be a hoot-n-nanny!

i was wondering...a few years ago I attended the WVO, and someone had Bocce balls that had blinking LED's in them. You just had to bump them together to get them to start blinking. Very cool. Wanted to buy a friend of mine a set, and was wondering if anyone knew anything about these? I have looked online, but find nothing.

Good Luck to the players this year. The weather Looks great!! Go Girlie! Go Lugo!!

dubbs

I think Marshall Street has those

Hey Dubbs,

Jay and Des had them and they were custom made for them. Since then I think they've been made but not sure. Check Goodle, Craig'sl list, eBay...

This is the longest work day of the year for me!! I've already gone to WV in my mind... In fact I know a bunch of people are already there!

Tick, tick tick...the clock is mocking me.

Headed out tomorrow, looking like better weather than last year! Wap Wap...here we come!

How many WVians does it take to post the scores?

None too busy drinkin various moonshines with out of towners!

Just one Nude one

SCORES!!!!!!!!??????? por favor.

so?

be iTT

Is WV in differant time zone. let's see some scores. I'd like to know how my friends did.

not A different time zone but they R int he middle of nowhere. 45 mins on dirt roads to the nearest town.

They might be able to dial-up the internet out there in paw-paw, but I doubt anyone is worried about it at this very hour up there. Check back tomorrow afternoon or catch your buddies when they come out of there themselves and have bars on their phones again.

Moser, Myers, Weidle,GM?

thanks PP. Definitely Mose's year. I'd predict he's top 3 easy in the USDGC...along with me and some other guy. Maybe I should sign up.

Can't get the scores out of the Creek, or Paw Paw. Must be a Virginia thang. For an A tier i thought it would be alot quicker. We eventually will get more live scoring. USDG will have it, another week of computer work.See ya at the Slap Nuts Wyatt.

Mini Thumber

Missed you this past week Bigrock, another week from you know where. andrew and are headed out to play some where. he killed me at reidsville yester day.

So who got the USDGC spots?

I know that Devin Frederick (http://www.sharkysshots.com/albums/userpics/10002/normal_IMG_2693.JPG) got one of them. I think Craig Gangloff got one too but I'm not 100% sure on that. It was a great weekend, everyone had a lot of fun. Moser (http://www.sharkysshots.com/albums/userpics/10002/IMG_2563.JPG) dominated and got his just reward. (http://www.sharkysshots.com/albums/userpics/10002/IMG_2698.JPG) slide show! (http://www.sharkysshots.com/displayimage.php?album=97&amp;pid=5367&amp;slideshow=5000)

Hot shootin Mose - congrats to you and the new USDGC reps..

I'd be happy to share all the scores with you on Saturday night...if some one is willing to provide Gabi and Spencer with internet service...the budget up there is tight and Gas for the mowers is first priority....

Should we just let the grass grow to make a few non attending geeks happy?

Scores ar posted in the "PDGA tour" section. Biscooe got the USDGC qualifiers correct.

And Sharky..what? no pictures of the bachelor party?

<font color="red">CONGRATS TO BETH AND CRAIGGER!!!!!!!!! </font>

That was an incredible West Virginia style performance by you nude who, glad the camera was left behind not that we will ever forget. /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

...no matter how hard you may try.

Man, is that a proposed dress code for A Tier events from now on? I need to get sponsored by the Mens Wearhouse.

Yes, Tuxes and formal gowns will now be the required dress code for the WVO...unless it is at night in the Barn and your name is Tony.

Funny...I believe Craig and Beth's Wedding will be showing up on You Tube and or Disc Golf Monthly.

And yes we did actually hold an A tier Disc Golf Tournament this weekend

And Sharky..what? no pictures of the bachelor party?



I heard Tony made $8 during his on-stage performance...

Thanks Marsha....you and Solarspam were surely missed. Words can't explain how
W O N D E R F U L the whole weekend was. It was perfect. even Tony in a short skirt...holy crap that was funny......and Craig looked scared. ROFLMAO

Are you making that observation by looking at the photos or my tournament scores?

What a beautiful weekend it was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best WVO I have been to yet. Kinda quiet, which was nice.....And we had a personal camp chef who made us food the entire weekend. The only thing I had to do was play golf. CAMP PIITSBURGH!!!

Check out the high-def satellite image of Spencer &amp; Gabi's farm:

The Woodshed &amp; The Whippin' Post (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=paw+paw+wv&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=39 .569176,-78.403244&amp;spn=0.006997,0.014462&amp;t=h&amp;z=16&amp;om=0)

Zoom out to see the remoteness of this place....and zoom in to try and find the nude golfer... :D

It is cool how you can see the mowed fairways and roughs!

That picture is at least 2 years old...as the house is too small (it's their orignal house pictured)

The nude golfer was smaller then, too... :D

Kinda quiet



That is because Kevin Stewart is serving his time!

Don't fret...he'll be back next year, I'm sure.

I'm not so sure we will ever see Kevin there again.....kinda sad!!!! Definitely missed him there. COPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HIDE YOUR BEER

It seems that the payouts are inflated!!!

Everyone got less money then it says. What up with that???

Sorry, My spread sheet crashed and I had to start from scratch. I think I only problems in the open division please send me an email with the amount received and I will adjust.

director@westvirginiaopen.com

I'm confused, do we get more money or something? I think I got $325 like it says, but it did seem a bit low. I realize there are tons of expenses out at Spences, but it didn't seem like a 100% payout. If you add all of the payout up, it totals around $6500ish, but I thought there was a minimum $7200 in entry fees? Please don't think I am complaining Tony, just confused. I will be back next year to get revenge on that gauntlet. :p

What would Kevin do?

:D

que?

yeah

OK, let me break this down for everyone. When Spencer ran the WVO in the past he would have the entry fee for the event; when a player would arrive he or she would HAVE TO pay greens/camping fees. Now I can't speak for most of the Disc Golfers, but for some reason it was really hard for them to come off of an additional $10. When Susi and Myself took over running the WVO we clearly state that your Entry Fee "includes all extraneous fees" which include, the PDGA Sanctioning &amp; PDGA Player fees, Greens/Camping and Don Johns(and trust us...we need the Dons Johns), course maintenance and mowing fees.

So when you break it down the $100 fee your only playing for $81 per person, there for this yeers' WVO total Pro purse is $5832 then we added money to each of the divisions via sponsor and the WVO minis.


Understand that Running Tournaments is NOT a money making endeavor, in fact it always turns into a losing proposition!
I can't calculate how much time and money I have personally put into the WVO. Susi's mini making, in which he spends countless hours making minis at no monetary gain to himself! As well as Spencer and Gabi's gas expenditures for course maintenance. (which the $10 paid doesn't dent the yearly mower fuel bill) Most nights I end up taking WVO related phone calls and an doing some sort of WVO related data entry and then on weekends I drive 2.5 hours each way to Paw Paw to work on the courses and even though I'm there just about every weekend, I rarely get to play the courses...I can't understand how I got into the finals !!!

...I can't understand how I got into the finals !!!


The same reason Ronnie got in last year---Because I wasn't there!!! Just kidding. Belated Congrats!

Tony,

Please don't take my comment as though I thought you were making money off this tourney. I realize there are tons of expenses and didn't know you took money from each players entry. That is a great idea! I just didn't understand your previous email and after I added up the money noticed it seemed a bit low. I didn't know how much added cash you had, thought you might have gotten some from the AM weekend.

You and Susi do so much for that tourney, most of which goes unrecognized. Thank you both and thanks to all the others who make Paw Paw what it is. The reason you played so well is because you played every round with me punk! :D

I was starting to think "I don't want to do this #$%&amp; anymore"...but Brad made me feel better. (he always does!)

I feel the same as Brad. I was just curious. It was my first time at the WVO and I had one of the best times ever!!! Everyone always told me to go and I finally got there and it was the best Discgolf experience. Thanks for keeping the course manicured and BIG UPS for running a great tourney.

WTG Brad and FriZZAk you guys are good :D:D
Eat more cake :p

Thanks again Tony, Susi, and the Thurman's...........it was a most excellent tournament!!!!!!!!

We'll keep on, keepin on... Thanks to all that came and hope to see you back next year...

Tony and I are think we may have to allow more pro's (more than 72) next year...and not go to five somes. Looks like we may go to a "gold pool" on Sunday morning the cut would be 72 players.

Always looking for ways to accommodate everyone.

For years one of the most common things I would hear from mid-Atlantic golfers was "you gotta go to Paw Paw", etc. I even tried to find the place (by myself) back 1997 or 1998. I was using the directions in the course directory, but I never could find the place. I drove around for more than two hours, ended up deep in a valley near a river which led to envisions of the movie "Deliverence"! I kept my windows up in fear of hearing dueling banjos...

After moving to Pittsburgh in 2000, the local steel-city golfers kept telling me how great Paw Paw was, especially the West Virginia Open. I finally went in 2005 and I have since regretted not going all those previous years. Not only is the golf contested on two of the most fun, challenging and frustrating courses out there, the WVO experience is unlike anything else. It is absolutely my favorite tournament to attend and I am looking forward to the following yeer's event as soon as I take a left out of Spencer and Gabi's driveway.

The West Virginia Open would not be what it is without the likes of Tony, Mark, Spencer, Gabi and anyone else who makes this event happen yeer after yeer. I think I speak for many when I say it is an honor and a privilege to play the WVO and spend Labor Day weekend camping with friends (and family) at The Woodshed & The Whippin' Post (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=paw+paw+wv&ie=UTF8&ll=39.569176,-78.403244&spn=0.006997,0.014462&t=h&z=16&om=0).

I can't wait to go back... :)

It was the best event I have been to in my limited experience. I thought it was very well run and of course the venue is impecible. I was amazed at the number of people who wern't there to play.

them fur-i-ners from CT and OH was tryin' to make truble

lmao.....that's me! ;)

Editing of Disc Golf Monthly's coverage of the West Virginia Open is close to wraping up. I need to get some info quick if anyone knows it..........

I know that pretty much eveyone in the group had caddy's
Bard had Nick Schneider
Pat Pitts had Tom Kim
Tony Ellis had Mark Susi

But of the remaining 3 players on the lead card, who was caddying for them?
I would like to give them mention in the show.
Thanks to anyone who has any info.

Kevin

Jordan Rauch Started to caddy for me, Than switched to caddy for Brad Schick. Craig Law than caddied for me.

Does anyone know why the WVO is showing up in latest cash update?

I meant to say " isn't<font color="red"> </font> ".

Um, what are you talking about, PP? Your indiviual statistics for cash taken?

I just looked and the payout is listed.

OK...I wasn't very clear. The results were posted a long time ago but.........its not showing up in the latest cash update by the PDGA, which was done today.

In other words...your year to date total is not updated...therefore your ranking in the PDGA money list is suffering... :D

Not sure the reason...maybe because the WVO was in Sept this year instead of the end of August and the PDGA cut off for this update was August? :confused:

Does anyone know why the WVO is showing up in latest cash update?

I meant to say " isn't<font color="red"> </font> ".



Maybe it's because you haven't made it out to Pittsburgh, yet..... :D

But the Calvert Open, which was played the following week, is already listed

WVO results are shown as Unofficial online so either the TD report has not been sent to the PDGA yet or Dave just got it in the last day or two after the latest points were posted.

Next year.........I'll be able to play in your division.

What Chuck said.

Mark - Can you tell Tony?

He know's I already told him...and he said he has submitted everything and paid off the PDGA...Although I can't verify the timing...so what Chuck said may be the answer.

Dave said the other day that he had processed 150 reports and still had 50 more to go for this ratings update. So, WVO may be in that last 50.

OK...I feel better now. Thanks Mark &amp; Chuck.

You're welcome...It's the least I can do...the VERY least.

And thanks to Chuck for coming to my rescue with FACTS!

This is the 1st of 4 Video clips that will be comming out throughout the month.
The 2007 WVO will be seen in December both here and On Demand with Comcast in the Mid-Atlantic/Potomac area's of the US

Enjoy-

Whatch out old people :D

Gentry indicated he has not received the WVO report and not even the WV Ams from back in June. Neither will be in this ratings update.

Thanks Chuck!

Mark - Please tell Toney this :(

Hmmmm........not bad news for me considering I shot well below my rating during this event.
Bad news for Mr. Pitts.....that smokin' red-hot score of 58 he posted on the Woodshed is unofficially reporting as a 1044 rated round. :o
Is that your highest rated round, PP?

I let Tony know...

And so you all know...we are doing this just to irk PP!

I had to use the word "irk" so I wouldn't get censored by "Big Brother"

You could always say you're trying to PP him off. ;)

Nope.... have plenty in the 1040's. I think my highest is 1061.

I was hoping that those rounds would be included, to bring up my rating and what not. O well, next update maybe????

The good news is that all reports have eventually been submitted by the final yearly update in January for the past two years so no ratings have been lost.

Chuck are you now saying he (Gentry) HAS the reports??


This is all so confusing :confused: ...I'm going to start running the PTWPA (pro tiddly-winks players assoc.)

No, just that even the TDs who are tardy all year eventually get the reports to Gentry before the yearend deadline.

Funny, we've been doing this for 14 years and never had a problem...I know Tony has submitted both reports (WVC and WVO) in a timely fashion!

The problem lies with the Administration...Don't fault the messenger.

Thanks 4 watchin',

All I want for Christmas is the WVO.... :D

SO the 2008 WVO is not a USDGC Qualifer? Why is that?
