Larry,
did i hear you say for transportaion purposes we could request the people we are riding with be put in the same pool (as long as they are in the same division of course)? If so how would you like is to make the request? thanks.

You were supposed to do it when you registered. ;)

Anyone going to the tournament interested in swapping for a used Innova Discatcher Sport? I am looking to get a DGA MachLite (can be used if in good shape).

*I know there is a trading forum, but I posted here in hopes of working out a face to face swap (ie. no shipping cost).

[b]Online Registration (http://sunkingdiscs.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&amp;ProdID=1449)

Mike, when do you expect the first round to be over?

You were supposed to do it when you registered. ;)


I was one of the first 25 people in the event and my traveling partner did not reg. until a month ago. which is why i am asking if there is anything we can do. thanks for your help though.

With the second tee at 3pm, I'm allowing 3 hours, but I would guess about 2 to 2 1/2 hours to play, it's fairly long.

Anyone wishing to be in the same pool may email me the info and I will do what I can to accomidate you. Once pools are posted I will only be able to move players if they can find someone to change with them. Sorry - [email protected]

Frankling course probably takes about 2 1/2 hours to play just for your info.

Thanks!
Larry, at the risk of being whiny, could you suggest to Maceman to move the Keriakes doubles back an hour? It would allow time for players to get from Franklin to Keriakes, and I would bet there are other players that want to play both. If not, I would be happy playing both doubles rounds at Franklin, as it sounds it would be near impossible to play at both courses as it stands now.
Sorry to be a pain.

I second! or at least have Franklin at 11am (allows more margin for error on SunKing's behalf) ??

I am registered for the sunking event but wouldnt mind an opportunity to play the MaceMan event also.

We would be more than happy to move back our first round tee time to 11am to accomodate the players. I think we would've had plenty of time, but no problems here. Also, this just in - we will be receiving a fresh load of huk lab gear for this event, so be sure to swing by the course or check us out at the FlyMart on Saturday night.

That is awesome Mike, thanks for accomadating the playas. HUKLAB! Do you have stools?

Yes we'll have a few.

Need some clarification on directions to Clee Bit

PDGA links gives this as the directions:
I-65; exit, to Hwy 31W north, 7.6 miles to a left on Hwy 2326 (Ottor Gap Rd), 3.6 miles to a right at stop sign on Hwy 734, 0.2 miles to park on left.

* Which exit number on I-65?
* Can't find Hwy 734 on mapquest, yahoo, etc, BUT I can find Hwy 743. Is that sort of the same thing?

Thanks,
Ron

If you go that direction it will be exit 28 (corvette plant) the hwy # is 743 not #734.

A question about the Am1 courses (Hob, Ker, Frank, White)...does play flow well at these courses during events or are there backups and slow holes? I hate carrying a stool but I will if it's a must. Are there benches at these courses?

At the Nat's Halloween tournament, there was a pretty big backup on one of the holes at hobsen. I think it was hole #3, but it is the long one. We were also playing 4somes, and it looks like we might have 5 at the Ams.

I would suggest bringing a stool for at least that course.

I don't remember much backup at Ker.

Hobson will have backups. Stool needed
White park has benches
Keriakes, it goes
Franklin - ur guess is good as mine.

I will be happy to play doubles with anyone if they are looking for a partner.

I might have a partner lined up so that we could create a mixed doubles division. We're planning on attending the MaceMan event. Anyone else for mixed doubles?



If we know ahead of time that we have a division, you can count Sheila and I in.

White Park is the only course that a stool is not needed. However if there is a 5some, I believe one person may be standing. White flows very well so the wait will not be long. The only hole that is notorious for backups is #14, a 400' dogleg right. The turn is more than 90 degrees right, and canopy over the tee so you have to place your shot off the tee. There will be at least a 3 group back up there.
As far as the rest of the courses; if you like to have a seat while waiting for your turn at tee then, bring a stool (you'll be waiting).

Monty,
you just need to get rid of that fishing stool you have and get one of them super cool huck lab stools and your problem is solved.

am i correct is franklin in franklin KY? how far outside of bowling green is this place?

am i correct is franklin in franklin KY? how far outside of bowling green is this place?



Fifteen minutes south.

thanks but 15 minutes south of where keiriakis, white, the center of town? it looks like a long way from franklin to white. and i am assuming traffic will be a factor. no big deal just wanted to make sure i was looking at the right place.

Is this going to have to have to be capped at 720? I don't see any other way unless you put more than 5 people on each card... 5x18x8=720



That is only correct if all divisions are evenly filled. This tournament will split the divisions to play 4 courses each. So it would be 5x18x4=360 and 5x18x4=360.
Making the pairing looking something like this:
advanced+women=or< 360
masters&up+intermediate=or<360
or whatever combonation fits.

Those playing Franklin will play Kereiakes the same day - it will take about 20-30 min to get there from the course.

I just updated the list of players - none of these are any that we may have recieved in the mail - not to worry there is still room - don' ask how !!!!!! - :)

I have also updated our site www.bgdg.org (http://www.bgdg.org) with info on doubles and other nuggets:

Here is some cool stuff just worked out for the event:

I hope the rain is gone my next Weekend.

thanks but 15 minutes south of where keiriakis, white, the center of town?



Sorry, 15-20 mins. south of natcher exit of I65 (exit #).
Or you can drive around 880 south from Hobson turn right on 31W, travel about 20-30 mins. south to a left on 1008 for 2-4 mins. where the course will be on the left. Those directions are a longer travel time, but might be less traffic and you'll be driving two lanes not six.

Can I hook up with anyone for a ride from course to course during the tournament. I'll help with gas.

Amen - i'll prolly have to make a sign sayin

"deaf disc golfer need ride - will pay gas"

to make it easier on the askin portion

Team Haydel (Jeff and Judy) would be interested in playing mixed doubles on Friday if it were to be offered.

i had a dream about Bowling green lastnigt, then i had to wake up and was sad that i had to wait another week to go.

I went to Franklin the other day and to my surprise, it was longer than white. I shot a 56 which I am told is a hot round however I did have a lucky ace on the downhill #14 with the river directly behind the basket. I can see alot of people who dont throw 400' struggling at this course unless they have an amazing approach game. I look forward to playing this course over Lovers this year. It will definitely seperate the field more. Look forward to seeing everyone out for sunking doubles at Franklin on friday. peace

If Franklin plays as long as Ron says it will I really hope I continue to be dead on with my approach game. Or it could turn into a very long weekend.

With the exception of a few long holes theyre all par-able with a few ace runs. It's really the elevation on some holes that make it difficult and the wind doesnt help either.

Did you play the longs or the short tees, because I think they are playing the shorts in the tourney and if they are it is not as long as White. Even from the shorts I believe that it is probably a little longer than Lovers but not much. But the longs are probably comparable to Whites with a lot more obstacles and terain as well.

Is anyone from around Charlotte going to BG. I am looking for a ride there. PM me if you can give me a ride or know of someone who could. Thanks.

I played all the longs. On some holes you had to look back another 100 feet because I would walk towards the am pad first because it was the only one I saw. The holes are very spaced out in some areas, but I found the course very fun to play with a variety of shots needed even for such a wide open course. I really hope they dont play from the short tees. No advanced division and especially this one should ever throw from shorts if long pads are available. I think the longest walk from one hole to another was 10 to 11, it must have been close to 800 feet from 10s basket to 11s pad.

Ron Howell

Larry,

if there are multiple t's on the courses can we get the layouts the AM1 divisions will play for the 4 courses please? thanks. we are leaving in 6 short days and can't wait to play my first courses in KY.

We can sign up for the doubles when we get there right?

Which doubles are you referring to???

Any of them on Friday. I posted on here looking for a partner had one pm but wanted to make sure if its a go we can sign up when we meet up and dont have to sign up now.

You can sign-up for doubles the day of.

The course maps will be in the program for all the courses and yes you will play the short tees at Franklin.

Kereiakes is looking good after the parks did some work with building up some around tees and putting mulch around baskets.

Preston Miller now has nice brand new concrete pads just installed with nice course signs as well. This course was a little rough last year and we didn't want to use it but had to. Now it is in pretty good shape and for those that played it last year and will again this year. I think you will notice a nice difference.

Have some good news just finalized - We were going to give those above the 1st 500 at least a disc now they will get at least 2.

Will post info as I get it and hope to have pools up on Monday but should be not later than Tuesday.

Thanks Larry! I'll still be looking to trade for Ontario Rocs! What should I bring?? rWc3523 :cool:

The course maps will be in the program for all the courses and yes you will play the short tees at Franklin.



Thanks Larry but we are looking to get some good practice in on Thursday and Friday. so are there any other layout details (long / short pads) on Keriakis, White and Hobson? thanks again for the helpful info.

You could always play the longs then if they happen to be shorter, yahoo!

kereiakes will be played from the pro tees as we did last year.

Basill Griffin we will use the short tees on hole #3 and #6 to help with any course wonderers that may come in. That course we can't close to the public so we have to watch out for them.

:Dnow thats just down right funny :D

I have just updated the list with everything I have till this morning.

Online registration will close sometime after 4:00 pm today I believe. If you aren't in by now what are you waiting for. :)

731 !! Thats Insane!

I figured Larry would of cut it off at 720. (8 courses @ 90 ppl)

The way I got it figured, looks like they are going to have to "ghost" groups in on a couple of the courses.

Looking forward to seeing what happens...

Later,

Mike D


P.S. - Russ, I am gunning for you!!

We are definately going to be playing 3 1/2 hour rounds!

Yeah, slow golf for sure. Everybody watch those discs so they don't get lost. One lost disc can slow down the whole field!

Mikey, I'm ready! ;) I'm still bummed about not cashing on my home course last weekend!. Hopefully I'll play well enough to be in one of your groups! BTW, will you have any room in your vehicle. I'll probably need a ride with my wife, son and I going in different directions. Let me know if I can hitch with y'all! rWc3523

Today I'm working, but next week at this very time, I'll most likely be finishing up the first day of BG AMS! Something to look forward to! :) rWc3523 :cool:

Russ,

We may have room in our car for one more. If so, you are more than welcome to hitch a ride with us. I will know by Thursday. If I do not have room, I know of at least two more car loads from Georgia playing Advanced Masters and one of them should have a space for you.

See ya in a couple of days!!

Later,

Mike D

That's cool Mike. I have a couple friends from Huntsville that will be there as well. Not sure who they will have with them. Just trying to work something up early this time since the guy I was going to ride with last time left because I didn't follow up with him at the player's meeting. Not sure how I arrived at the first found! :DWe'll be getting there Friday morning and will likely play Chalybeate and Preston Miller since I know Lovers and most of Griffin. Would like to hit some of the other events as well, but I'd like to see these two courses first! Have a safe trip up! :D rWc3523 :cool:

When you go to Chalybeate watch out for snakes. Larry knows what I'm talking about. :D

When you go to Chalybeate watch out for snakes. Larry knows what I'm talking about. :D



last year there was a 2 foot copper head (thats what it looked like) 1 foot away from my disc at hobson. My caddy tried to croc hunt it. Good times!

Saturday there was a snake on #9 tee. Larry stopped his run up smoother than I have ever seen anyone do it. I also saw a baby on #15. That was just enough to turn a duece into a bogey. But thats ok cause I just hit the ace on #13. :D

That was at Chalybeate.

I haven't seen any at Chalybeate, but I have seen them at Preston Miller the last two times I played there.
P.S. this is our way or scaring off the compitition

on the topic of snakes in KY, I'm over in Corbin showing some relatives Disc Golf outside there home when I let one rip with my buzzz. They all look on in amazement as to how far it goes and I explain to them that it was only a midrange. As I set out to retrieve it from the weeds my Uncle says to me "watch out for the snakes" :confused: I'm like snakes!! what snakes!! I didn't see one, but if I had I would of lost my buzzz that day, in more ways than one.

Hey, just a reminder to keep your afternoon and evening free on Friday... hope to see you at some of these happenings:

Where can we get a map of where all of the courses are?

I made a few calls today, and got some information on addresses, for those of us who will be mapquesting to and from courses.

Keriakes Park:
1220 Fairview Avenue, BG, KY

Hobson Grove:
1200 West Main St.

Lovers Lane:
385 Lovers Lane.

White Park:
6487 Louisville Rd.
42101


I tried looking up Franklin, and was told there is no physical address, but that it is off of North Street (North Street @ community park).

Can any of the locals confirm this info?


Erick

At the top of the PDGA website page click on Course Directory. Then type in Bowling Green and select Kentucky in the search. The first 8 results are the courses we'll be playing on and directions on how to get to them, usually from I65. here's the link to franklin Franklinhttp://www.pdga.com/course/courses_by_city.php?id=1986 (http://www.pdga.com/course/courses_by_city.php?id=1986)


We'll get a course directory Friday night, but I might try to get last years posted online somewhere. Any suggestions on a site to upload it to? I was thinking maybe ebay as a fake auction, but that would cost me.

I'm going to be playing at least 1 of the doubles on Friday.

Well, you can scan it. Post it to a photo hosting site like Photobucket and post it on here. If you don't know how to do that, email the scanned image to me and I will galdly do that. PM me for my email. : )

Mace Man Will be the only vendor at the Bowling Green Am weekend with X-out Champion and Star Roc's from the USDGC 2006!! The speculation is that the entire 2007 run of 3000 Champion/Star Roc's will sell out in pre-sales to partners before the release date witch happens to be next Monday, April 1. This still remains to be seen, but you will see some great roc's from the previous run that are ready to throw at $20 each in Bowling Green this weekend.

anybody know when and where the Pools will be posted

Thanks, that will help out. I already found where the Microtel Inn was on that map.

Are any of the Friday doubles tournmanets set where you pick your own team or are they all random draw?

Friday 5pm BYOP at Hobson. That is all I know.

Okay, thanks. I was hoping the Kereiakes doubles was BYOP but Hobson is fine.

Okay, thanks. I was hoping the Kereiakes doubles was BYOP but Hobson is fine.



http://www.bgdg.org/

front page tells of Keriakes 3pm - $20 per team.

I will get pools up soon, might be in the morning as I am trying to accomidate the car poolers. You should be able to check them on the pdga site.

Here are the courses each division will play for those wondering:

Kereiakes, White, Hobson, Franklin - Adv Men, Adv Women, Am Women
Lovers, Chalybeate, Bassil Griffin, Preston Miller. - All Juniors, Am Men, Adv Mast Men, Adv Mast Women, Adv Grand Master, Adv Sr. Grand Masters.

I know ... just asking about BYOP status.

Usually a flat fee per team (as opposed to per person) indicates BYOP. It would be nice to know for sure though, so I understand.

Good to know. Thanks ... I'll probably just ask around once I get there.

Kereiakes, White, Hobson, Franklin - Adv Men, Adv Women, Am Women



So, by my count that is 378 people on 4 courses (342 ADV men, 17 ADV women, 19 INT women). Are we just going to be playing in large groups... or is there some trick perhaps? Just curiousity, the answer won't change my plans, so the point is actually moot.

Larry, at No Foolin' last weekend, someone told me that he had heard that "pull-behind" golf carts are not allowed at two of the courses. Can you verify this?

I don't know about them not being allowed, but they would be a lot more trouble than they are worth on Chalybeate. You have to climb up fairly steep steps to get to one of the holes, and some rough terrain. And it is a short course, so even if they are allowed on Chalybeate I still wouldn't bring one if it were me for that course anyways.

I looked on Maceman's website (http://maceman.com/calendar/calendar/index.php) about the doubles tournament at Kereiakes. It is a BYOP tournament. I am happy for this.

Justin Main and Jamie Mosier will be teaming up. Were going to hit the 11am doubles at Franklin if thats byop. We will for sure be hitting up the K doubles at 3 though.

Adv Men / Adv Women / Int Women = 378
4 courses x 90 = 360
18 people over means 4 "ghost" groups or 1 per course.

Rest of the Pack = 367
7 people over means 2 "ghost" groups.

"Ghost" group means to insert an extra group (4some or 5 some) somewhere on the course during play. What that means is there would be two groups waiting on one hole to start, first group tees off and proceeds to play the hole. As soon as they are done, the "ghost" group tees off and plays the hole right behind them. What this translates into is some mighty long rounds of golf.

Be prepared to wait!!

But... Who cares!! This is going to be the biggest single event tournament ever!! You will be part of history!!

Hats off to Larry and his crew!!


Later,

I don't know if anyone has said they weren't doing this, but there is always the possibility of 3 flights per day on any course. I know we did this at Bowling Green in 2005 when only 4 courses were used. It was split up so you either played at 8am, 1130am or 8am 3pm or 1130am 3pm or something like that. I wouldn't mind doing that, then you wouldn't have to play with 5-somes. Although I know some people were ticked off that had to play at 8am at hobson grove, in the cold, rain and heavy wind, while the weather cleared up by 1130am for the group at keriakes. :)

I played in the 8 AM round at hobson and it was horrible but later at 11:30 my friend got great weather. Hope its warmer this time around cause that was BS.

Yeah, I thinking that same thing Dustin, but probably wont happen for the very reason the above poster said. Way too many complaints. I know my entire card had animosity for the 11:30 groups after we played Keriekas at 8:00.

Is it really that big of a deal. We play 5-somes all the time in Norcal. Just deal with it and enjoy the biggest event ever.

As mentioned there are no rules against carts being used, just a couple of holes would be fun to move up and down.

As for pooling questions - it will be tomorrow as soon as I can.

We will be playing 1 ghost group on pools that we need to in order to fit the players. Anyone that has been here before will tell you that almost all the courses play in 2 1/2 hours with 5 somes' so adding a ghost pool might push it to closer to 3 hours but that is better than trying to run 3 pools through a course and it allows us to have time in case of weather.

I have some good news for those that were above the 1st 500, Discraft and Gateway have offered to give me coupons for you to come by and get a free disc from them so you will get one disc of our choice and then the 2 mentioned. Many thanks to them and all our sponsors.

Players meeting has changed to 7:00 on Sat. to help us get through everything and get players out playing. Please remember you need to check-in or we won't put a scorecard out for you.

MaceMan,

Will you please confirm whether or not Friday Doubles at Kereiakes is BYOP or Random Draw? My partner mainly needs this info so he can take the day off.

Thanks Larry! :) And thanks to Gateway and Discraft! :) :D Class acts both! rWc3523

So what kind of disc are we going to get from innova?

hey great...more stuff great job larry
did i miss something....where is the players meeting

Players meeting has changed to 7:00 on Sat. to help us get through everything and get players out playing. Please remember you need to check-in or we won't put a scorecard out for you.



Is this a meeting for everyone in one place or does it correspond to what course you start on?

Any word on the pools yet? Or where the link will be posted? I'm just getting a little excited for this event, Woo Hoo BG!!!

I just posted the update for pools and all. Please don't ask to switch pools at this time because unless you can find someone that will switch with you I won't be able to do it now.

The players meeting is for all at 7:00 @ the knights of columbus.
It is off of Lovers Lane about 1/2 mile from scottsville rd.

I know last year Friday we had a check-in time. And thats when we got our players packs and stuff.


I keep looking on bg website and can't find it. I know it was also mentioned in here before but can't find it here either. Are we doing the same meeting on Friday this year?

Anyone who wants to switch from pool C to pool B please let me know I will swap places with you. PM or scottcwhite AT gmail.com

EDIT: I'm all set now, thanks Erick!

Go to where the pre-reg is on the PDGA Tour page. They split it up into the pools there.

sweet so pool b looks like good weather in the morning then travel south for more good weather in the afternoon. way to go pool B thanks for the info.

I'm packing up some stuff to bring down to the Saturday night flymart. I have about 2 dozen pairs of Bite shoes. Mainly low tops and a few high tops.

Please send me an e-mail, [email protected] to see if I have your size and if you'd like me to bring them along. Do so in the next 24 hours since I'm leaving on Wed.

Thanks!

Here is the forecast for the weekend just in case if you think you'll need it so you can pack according to the weather...

Thanks, Larry -- I really do wonder how you do it. This is just so huge. I cannot wait.

So even though we play with our car-pools Sat. we might not Sun.??

yes just like any other tourney :) pools will be done by scores so you could move to the other pool (which means you are shooting good).

Which also means you could be scrambling to find a ride saturday night/ sunday morning if your driver shoots poorly...

what course is edmondson?

looks like pool G is safe though, no one to trade with no matter how good or bad we play.

what course is edmondson?


i think its chalybeate

yeah it is chalybeate -- well time to quite working for a bit and go enjoy a little of this nice 80 degree weather. Be back on later.

I have to go to the players meeting Saturday morning and then drive all the way out to Chalybeate and then back to Lovers. Where excatly is Chalybeate? Im having trouble finding where it is other than in Brownsville?

Have fun Larry, looks like it is about to rain here in Memphis.

Is the players meeting gonna be in the same place? the kfc place could hardly fit last years crowd, dunno how its gonna fit 750+

btw i am gonna try to have a webcam up at the hotel somewhere (if it works ofcourse).

Did the Webcam at the SNAC work? Did anyone outside the event see it? rWc3523 :cool:

It is at the Knights of Columbus I think. 750 people crammed into a KFC, doesnt sound too fun.

\

It worked, dont know if anyone watched it, remember it was SN!

It is the same place, we plan on doing it outside unless it is rainning then it will be standing room. Last year they had table out and there is just no room that way. We will only be inside if it is rainning. Course directory - chalybeate springs sports complex (brownsville) - if coming from the north get off the smiths grove exit (dont know #) and use 101 to get to the course will save you 30min. time to go.

Especially when they run out of chicken! WIll, it's K of C. Could be the boy's expressing his sense of humor! :D rWc3523 :cool:

remember - this being the bg ams.. it will rain. will. this is my 4th year now and every year - at least one course is rained out.

Yes, my buddy needs to switch from the D pool into the C. I am in the C pool and we need to ride together. His name is Dave Kippen in the D pool and my name is Brad Brundage in the C pool. If you could make this happen that would be awesome Son Of The DUDE!!!

Last year I heard it rained at one of the courses but it didnt effect the advance play any. We had some light rain on 2-3 holes but nothing that was close to doing anything to play.

u missed white park for the 3rd round then - tornado weather and downpour rain on about 9 holes. then it cleared up.

Last year was the best, weatherwise (i hope this year gets better!!)

Larry,

Are the MA1 playing longs or shorts at Franklin?

Thanks for all your hard work and see you in a few days!!!!

Yup I was at Lover's when the rain went thru. It wasn't that bad after it was done, but it was pretty annoying for 7 or so holes.

I'm in Pool C, but really need to be in Pool D because I am probably going to need to drive my friend around. Anyone interested?



I am trying this again Son Of The Dude, my buddy needs to move from the D pool into the C so we can ride together. His name is Dave Kippen in the D pool and my name is Brad Brundage in the C pool. If you want to make this switch let me know. I also sent you an email a little while ago.

Can anybody tell me where the fly-mart will be held and when details details details, please. This is my first BG and i am trying to plan my details.

Thanks for any help everybody.

Flymart is saturday night at the Knight of Columbus.

Same place where you will be saturday at 7am for player's meeting

Can anybody tell me where the fly-mart will be held and when details details details, please. This is my first BG and i am trying to plan my details.

Thanks for any help everybody.


,
Last year it was at the Knights of Columbus, same location as the Players meeting.

Thanks for that quick response! Do we know the approximate time for the fly-mart to start.

Does anybody know where Edmonson is i can't find any information about it. Is Chalybeate actually Edmonson?
I need directions to edmonson if anybody could help with that as well.

Thanks everyone.

Hey "B" pool members...

I'm in "C" pool and could really use
a swap in to "B" pool so I can
drive with my buddies.

If you can help out, it would be much appreciated.

Send me a pm or email slater_san AT discgolfontario.com

Thanks, Dave.


BLAME CANADA!

For the love of sweet chain music!!

Why, o'why did you all just not send the TD an email detailing who you needed to ride with before he did the pools?

I need someone to switch my dad so that we can be in the same pool (he is in G, hoping to switch to E) or I guess if you want to go the other way I can switch you (both accomplish the same goal)
somebody out there? pm me or email [email protected]

I thought the flymart began around 7 p.m., but I'm not 100 percent positive on that. It lasts a good while. Then there's food, music, beer, fun, bragging, crying, etc. The usual tournament party fare! :D
rWc3523 :cool:

there's food, music, beer, fun,


this sounds like where i need to be

Thanks everyone.


Chalybeate is the course that is in Edmonson. The directions on the course directory are fine but if you are coming from the interstate. You can get off on exit 38 in Smiths Grove turn right off of the exit and stay and follow the HWY 101 signs, turn left at the stop sign and take the first right toward Brownsville once again on Hwy 101. Then look for a sign that says 743 and I believe a sign pointing toward South Edmonson Elementary and turn left. That road will lead you right to Chalybeate Springs Sports Complex on your right. Hope that helps.

I'm staying at the Host hotel and will probally need a ride. I'm in the F pool.

Also for those playing Preston Miller there has obviously been a lot of work done. I didn't play it until today so I can't compare it with past experiences but I have heard stories and that is why I didn't play it until today. It has brand new tee pads, the missing basket replaced, and the fairway I believe has been cleaned and cleared quite a bit. It is actually now a nice looking course.

anyone in the A pool staying at KOA grounds? please let me know thanks

better yet...for those that have played in this tourney before do you think it would be hard to find a ride to the courses from the KOA ground? do a lot of golfers camp there? im in the A pool, asked someone to switch but dont really want to if I can find a ride to the courses....any help is appreciated.

hey gin i'm sure there will be people staying at the KOA,just get to the KOC at 7:00am on saturday and i'm sure you can find a ride to the courses that you'll be playing.........heck there is 700+ people going to be there

thats right i forgot there is a players meeting the morning of the tourney.

i don't think anybody will be without a ride...but some want to play with there buddies in the same pool
it will all workout in the end...not to worry

Still hunting a swap...

For the love of sweet chain music!!

Why, o'why did you all just not send the TD an email detailing who you needed to ride with before he did the pools?



-Because I switched from Master to AM1 based on course selection.

-Also, my buddy didn't decide to register until some time after I did.

-Over 700 players, you don't think there would be a couple of hiccups?

-And finally, I did make that request before the pools were made. (it just fell through the cracks...no biggie)

is white a better morning draw?
is franklin?
ker & hobson better/more protected in wind?
is wind windy wherever you go?
/questions probably answered many times over...

bigThanks to Larry for organizing an unprecedented event

Message for any two people that can switch from e pool to g pool or viceversa. Please email me asap at [email protected] or [email protected]
Thanks

bigThanks to Larry for organizing an unprecedented event



I would say White is better in the morning just because it always seems to me that the wind is worse in the afternoon. (Just my opinion though.)
A lot of Franklin is pretty wide open so a shot blown around by the wind can be recoverable (as long as it didn't blow you O.B. and there are only a few holes where that is a real danger).
Hobson is the most shielded from the wind with only a few holes being open enough to be affected. You just have to watch out for the 100+ trees on every hole.
Keriakis can be tricky with the wind. On several holes you tee shielded from the wind by trees only to drive and discover there's a fierce cross/head wind in the fairway.

Quite a busy afternoon, the courses are looking good as someone already mentioned - Preston Miller looks real good. They were mowing Lovers when I went by, Griffin is mowed and we have one tee pad they are fixing.

Now have another vendor for the flymart - I think that makes about 8 so you should have plenty of stuff to bye. As always will let you know info as I get it.

For those with pooling questions: I am sure we can get you where you need for the first day, just remember you may have the same problem the next day which I can't control so you might think about that before you go crazy trying to get someone to change with you. I am sorry I missed some of the pool request. I just have a lot going on and wanted to get stuff posted so players would know where they would be and could try and plan ahead. We will try and move players on Friday night at check-in as well if requested. It probably won't do you any good to send me anything Friday as I won't be home long and will have the cards printed by then. Anyway crunch time is coming and I still have some details and stuff to do. Please don't be afraid to ask what you need and we will try and do what we can. It is almost time to have fun.

u missed white park for the 3rd round then - tornado weather and downpour rain on about 9 holes. then it cleared up.




I did play white park 3rd round I guess i just dont remember it being that bad. I shot a +1 so maybe I was more focused on game than weather

We're at the host hotel.

Sheila is in G Pool and I am in H, so one of us will be looking for rides. Since my cart doesn't collapse to very small, it's probably her 'cause I'll need Clifford, my big red truck.

That will leave me available for H Pool riders. (And her looking for G Pool drivers.)

Interested riders/drivers please use the contact info below.

Does any trading ever go on at the flymart? Vendor to player or player to player.... and is this encouraged or not? Does trading happen at the host hotel? Just curious if I should bring my trading stash or not.

Larry, will those players that have organized a pool swap (and emailed you) be updated on the tournament registration page?

I'm sure this has been discussed several times in this thread already but this thread is huge and I don�t really want to search thru it. But I'm wondering what kind of goodies we are going to be getting in our players packs?

i remember hearing dx ontario's, a supercolor surge, a gateway disc? and a DGA Rogue

I will post requested pool swaps soon.
players pack:
1st 500 - onatario Roc, FLX Surge, Diablo, Rogue, tee shirt, mini's
above 500 - dx disc, flx surge, gateway disc,mini

Larry thanks again for everything your doing to get this tournament going.


This isnt an important question so if it gets overlooked thats ok but....... Who all will be set up at the flymart I know you said 8 people just curious though.

What kind of disc is a Diablo???

The disc for the player package in bowling green will be called the Diablo-DT!
We are trying to get a slightly under-stable long range driver similar to a sidewinder. The 1st prototypes are getting ready to be test flown today or tomorrow.
It will be a shallower rimmed Disc like the RIDT with a slightly different dimple pattern. The pattern will have Dimples closer together so there will be more of them.
More dimples means less flat areas on the wing, which = more lift, less resistance and a faster,longer flight.

Dave posted that message about the disc.

Anyone have the weekend forcast for BG

Weather (http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/42101?from=36hr_fcst10DayLink_undeclared)

Let's hope those thunderstorms stay isolated. /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

I'll have some stuff to trade for those Ontario Rocs if anyone is interested. I have some Star and Candy stuff, a couple of Super Rocs with the 11X KC Pro Stamp and other items. Can email pics and provide cell # for contact at BG. rWc3523 :cool:

Thank you Larry for updating the pools.

Erick

Here is the info for the latest course sponsor:
Quest Advanced Technologies will be setting up at Chalybeate Springs Sport Complex. - Will run doubles at 12:00 and will give away a free set of mini's to all players in the tournament.

Hmmmm. Larry, Will there be a problem with practicing the courses during doubles? I'm more interested in playing Chalybeate and Preston Miller than doubles, basically because I've NEVER played them. If we get on the course before Doubles starts, I hope that's not a problem. Of course, we won't be hitting the other doubles courses, unless there's one at Miller and Griffin! Minis for everybody is great! Thanks for all you've done! rWc3523 :cool:

if I am arriving late Thursday night and want to practice Friday and NOT play a three hour doubles round what courses will be open, that is no doubles going on. im playing the advanced courses. thanks

if I am arriving late Thursday night and want to practice Friday and NOT play a three hour doubles round what courses will be open, that is no doubles going on. im playing the advanced courses. thanks



Good question. I am also interested in knowing which courses people would recommend playing on Friday without having to join the doubles. This goes for both divisions.

Well, this is the first year Advanced Masters were moved to the "other" courses and because of that, I'd never played them, except Griffin in the 1990s. But it's been changed. All I know about Miller and Edmondson are what my wife and son told me, which is why I intend to play them. If need be, I'll get on Edmondson BEFORE doubles begins and get ahead of the crowd. I don't think there's anything at Miller or Griffin. Now there ARE doubles at Keriakes, Hobson and Franklin, which might affect you advanced guys (and some ladies) you can bet with 750 golfers there will be a lot of folks on the courses Friday! But they should be open for practice! rWc3523 :cool:

you should be able to still play, with then number or players that are usually out there on friday you will probably have a group a head of you no matter what. You should be fine to play I know last year groups let smaller ones through that were casual. Just be nice and I think all will be fine.

could someone please post a tentative doubles schedule for Friday. that would be great.

Terry, If I can't find a hookup for Saturday, I might be calling you. I'll be at the host hotel as well in Pool H. Russ Corey PDGA 3523, Florence, Ala.

Does anyone know how far they paid out last year in each division? Just wondering where I need to be shooting this year to cash.

is the KOA course still there?
I understand basil's right there too- which I'd guess is closed after dark? ... prob throw my portable in anyway
are campfires allowed at the KOA? tiki-torches?
maybe the most important- closest good coffee to the KOA?
thanks for any local info...

KOA course is no longer there, camping so of course camp fires, should be able to setup portable around back pond, there is a starbucks on scottsville rd I think still, I don't drink the stuff so might not be there. :)

Starbucks:

PS First year I am not there and will not be for AMs in 5-6 yrs. Good times, but time to move on.

Peace to all the competitors. Be total warriors :eek:

Wow, thanks a bunch for the motivation Ron! :) I'll remember it this weekend. I'm really pumped for this one and feeling good about my game. I finally won the SN championships last September (adv master) and I really want to do well here. Final four would be great, but cashing would be satisfying. But why not aim high, right? We'll miss ya! rWc3523 :cool:

Hey I read there is check in Friday Night like last year. I am in school Friday, so if I don't get into town until say... midnight... can I check in and grab my players pack early in the morning?
Thanks.

Q: Are all players required to wear collared shirts since this is an A-Tier?

A: Collard shirts are not required, just tastful attire is.

-------------------------------------------------------------
3.4. Dress Code
A. All competitors and staff are required to wear a shirt.
B. All competitors and staff are required to wear shoes or
other foot coverings. Players will not be allowed to play in
bare feet. Sandals or slides are allowed.
C. The following dress code for all competitors will be
enforced at all PDGA National Tour and Major Events. The
PDGA also recommends that this dress code be enforced
at Super Tour and lower tier events, but this decision lies
solely with the Tournament Director:
(1) All players in PDGA sanctioned competition and
tournament staff are expected to dress appropriately
and to maintain a clean and well-groomed appearance
at all event sites and associated functions.
(2) All players must wear a shirt covering their upper
chest area. A well-tailored shirt with a fold-down,
mock turtle, v-neck, crew neck, Henley, or zippered
collar, and with sleeves covering the part of the arm
from the shoulder to the elbow (commonly known as
the upper arm), shall be considered acceptable.

This post is in honor of all my fellow LURKERS.

I have nothing to say:
I don't need to swap pools.
I don't need a ride.
I have a place to stay.
I know where and when the meetings are.
I don't need to communicate with the TD thru this board.
And I don't plan on kicking anyone's butt.

I feel better now.

Ron "Just a boring Old Fart" Pittman
