Any news? Same format as last year?

I'm ready for my third Bowling Green Am experience. NC looking to roll about 15-20 deep.

: ) :

I'm the new President of the Bowling Green Disc Golf Club, and as of right now the dates of the tourney are posted on our website. The tournament will be pre-registration only either through the mail or TitleDisc.com. We are considering limiting the field this year so a cut off is being decided. We may vote on it at our next meeting, but it'll probably be in Feb. before we decide. Right now, the Communcations Director and myself are revamping the club internally due to old wounds between the "old guard" and fmr. members and we are also working on new membership drives as well as incentives so alot of internal work is going on. The BG Ams. while a priority, is not the top priority at the moment. BUT we will post info. about the tourney as soon as any news happens.

can i get a ride?

what you gona caddy? man does not look good for the BG Am. tourney this big is gonna be hard to pull off if the club is not going to get around to planning it until febuary.

We have it planned. The courses are set, as well as final 9 layouts. We're just not sure if there is going to be cut off for registration. I mean 554 players this past yr. was awesome, but it was still 554 players, and very few people as officials to look over the players and courses. Right now we're working on several course improvements, mainly Hobson and Preston Miller so things are progressing, its just that there are other priorities that have to be dealt with. The BG Ams is still months away so we'll keep you updated.

Cant wait to get back and play some of the best courses that i have ever played.

I know there is about 5-6 people from Oklahoma City that plan on heading out there that's never played BG AM.

T-Town will be there with a handfull.

Who plan's on going from T-Town?

Me and Swygert are riding up on Wed...there are always a few carloads from Tulsa going, not sure who all has committed.

I have heard A LOT of good thing's about this tournament so I decided to head up there.....AND playing against 250 other Advanced player's is going to be sweet.

And beside's if I go to Duncan I have to play Pro.

I am planning on making the trip this year, Max, Vee, Poony, DG...............who else NC?

moncropolis will be there with me.

NC looking like:
The Friar, of course
Princess Jenny
Ronnie Huffmann
DG
moncropolis
Nobles
The Mike Norris
JClizzark
Jeff Kryzak
Stick?
Bryan Knight?
Whit?

that's all i can remember talking to so far. and thats just raleigh, gville, ktown, and wallyworld

: ) :

Nobles....Joe Shamrock! ;)

bunch a baggers.

When you all do visit "don't forget to bring a towel!"

South Park fans will understand.

Went to tournament site and couldn't find the entry forms. Checked out titlediscs.com and it isn't there either. When will the registration stuff be up?

Probably not until early March.

Go to www.bgdgc.org (http://www.bgdg.org) then click on tournment then click bowling green ams and there is your flyer and info.

I wonder how long it takes players from Michigan to say that they are all going to be in the final 9........like last years Bowling Green thread.

I'm pretty sure that only one person from MI would be making such claims. Ron, how long do you think it will take Crevice to get the paperwork for Moccasin Lake? My player rating went down because the only tourney that counted was the mini-canyon...So now it will go up like 20 points next time if the local TDs can manage to get those results in by the next update.

count me in

Team FFF will also be on hand. We will have space for 2 if anyone is looking to share gas, and board.

Hopefully this tournament is bigger than last year! :cool:

I think I made that claim as well. I was wrong.

IGO, you will once again get to play against Chris (buttercup) at this tnmt. See ya there

That's gonna be sweet, as long as we don't play as bad as we did at AM World's. :D:confused: :D

I didnt even know our CD put the flyer up. Then again, I'm not in charge of the website. My duties as President are more leadership title than actual work. Oh well, its good to know!

Hey Max, Va. wants to jump in with you guys. I am adopted Carolinian. So i am told. Holla at me, I want in.

is "B"obby"C"ar"POWDER" on that list?

Jeremy Bond will be healed up by then as well!

Maybe Am Worlds should be played in Blowing Green every other year. 554 disc golfers at Blowing Green. How many at Am Worlds last year. Before anyone gets to worked up, I know the events are different, but I would think the PDGA would provide some major support for that tourney.

if that ever occurs, that would be something for the tourism trade in BG to rival the Corvette Factory.

BG ams, then Bell South, then Am-world, then Pro-Worlds.

one heckuva schedule and volunteer time.

WOW, I wish I had been that lucky when I was a club president and I am sure many other club presidents do also. So you just tell people what to do and dont lead by example? :cool:

:D

And as a 1st yr. president I dont want to work that hard. I'm just trying to learn the ropes. I mean I'm still getting my ideas across, but I'm a 20 yr. old college student in a room with 40 and 50 yr old. One of them being the legend himself, Dr. Rick Voakes. Right now I'm trying to get Shawn Sinclair and Juliana Korver back into the club.

ROTFLMAO!!!!

Here is a list of my duties...

1. Provide leadership (Well I'm here NOW OBEY ME!)
2. Supervise activities of Staff (I see you so good job!)
3. Keep myself informed (this one is odd)
4. Conduct meetings (Okay lets get started!)
5. Set agenda (This look good?)
6. Problem solver (my cure: get over it!)
7. Develop budget (all $1200 dollars of it)
8. Conduct bylaw changes
9. Conduct officer removal procedures (exept for me)

I really dont do that much after all. But the easiet job is Club Services Officer. He just simply stores our discs at his house and even he was reluctant to do it LOL.

How is Jeremy doing anyway? I haven't heard anybody say. I hope he is doing well, one heck of a golfer.

What happened to J Bond

And as a 1st yr. president I dont want to work that hard.



who voted for you like that? no offense but if you cant handle it dont do it. i was 20 when elected president of our club in Greenville, now 21. i have most of the responsabilities you have plus i run doubles twice a week in the summer, help run monthly tournaments year round, store discs at my house, i'm helping with our PDGA in the fall, starting a weekly winter league. i also work 40 hours a week and i'm going back to school in the summer or fall. i'm not bragging or anything it's a good amount of work but you aren't gonna kill yourself. jump in head first it's the only way things get done.

when i looked back at my post i read my signature, now that's funny

I dont mean to sound like I'm lazy or dont care. I very much care about the club and want to do a good job. What I mean is I'm not going to overwork myself and get stressed out this year. I too have a job and am attending school which is why I dont want to overexert myself. Most of the work for the BG Ams. and BG Open was already finished before I took office so I really dont need to do much work for those tournaments anyway. I'm still getting my feet wet, and dont want to dive right on in. I am still seeing what I have gotten myself into and if it will be a good or bad decision. But dont let my inexperience sway you from coming to BG. my passion for disc golf is HUGE, and I am making sure the BG Ams and Open are successes. I'm even going to consider a BG Ams. Doubles for either next yr. or the yr. after. So I am working hard, but not to the point where It'll burn me out.

I hope you understand.

How is Jeremy doing anyway? I haven't heard anybody say. I hope he is doing well, one heck of a golfer.



Jeremy Watts? If thats who you're referring to then I couldnt tell you. I know who the guy is, but actually havent met him. Dr. Rick works with him alot on his game, trying to help him go pro.

if that ever occurs, that would be something for the tourism trade in BG to rival the Corvette Factory.

BG ams, then Bell South, then Am-world, then Pro-Worlds.

one heckuva schedule and volunteer time.



Well we dont run the Bell South tournaments. That's HB Clark's tournaments. He is a fmr. member of the club who I have invited back, but for some reason keeps denying. He asked us if we would join the BellSouth series by adding our tournaments but we decided to wait till next yr. before we decide. Apparently the older members dont trust HB, but I like the guy. He's dont alot of great things for my colleges disc golf team.

As for Am Worlds, I think we may have put in a bid for it last year, or it may have been Southern Nationals. I couldnt tell you as I wasnt a member of the club at the time, but we certainly have tried to get at least one major here. If we push hard enough though maybe we'll get one in the next 5 yrs.

And nothing will ever rival the tourism that the corvettes bring. The police have to literally block off the streets to let the long rows of corvettes drive through. The event is huge, and my dad works as the Corvette Plant so he keeps me informed when they are so I know to avoid driving that day.

Count me in too Max. If I could catch a ride with someone that'd be great. You have to go right by me on I-85 too.

Jeremy Bond? The last time I saw him he still had a big boot / cast on his foot, but that was at the Bull City Showdown, I hope he is healing up nicely.

Now, you know team FFF will be in the blue grass state. In prepreation for am worlds. Here is a tip, when you insert the q -tip and meet resistance, Stop

Ohio might bring quite a few quality players next year. Wouldn't be surprised if a few made the final nine!!

Ohio might bring quite a few quality players next year. Wouldn't be surprised if a few made the final nine!!



I am friends with Wil Ennis, the 06 champ, so I'm going to work with him on my game so I can be in the final 9 so tell those Ohio buddies of yours to be ready.

When can we send our money in?

read the beginning of the thread, the way the thread has been going most likely we wont have to send in our money in untill the day we sign in. :D

When can we send our money in?



Whenever Title Disc opens up registration. I dont handle that aspect of the tournament. I dont handle much of it because we've been doing it for so long there's no need for me to be involved in the process. I see Larry Bledsoe on Jan 14th so I will talk to him.

The '05 and '04 champs were both from the Cincinnati area, although one is technically from Kentucky. Will Ennis is a great guy and a great player too. I enjoy every time I get to play a round with him; even though it's always the first round.

There will be a strong crowd from Oklahoma there next year. :cool:/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

What about if were sending a check I don't use title disc I sent in a check last year so was going to do the same

What about if were sending a check I don't use title disc I sent in a check last year so was going to do the same



I'm sure you will be able to send a check to our PO Box. I'll check for you whenever I see Larry again.

Hey all just thought I would comment on a few notes I have seen. Glad to see the info on the tourney already being requested.

1. We are doing pre-registration only for the first time due to a few things, the main one being so that we can let divisions know before they get here where they will be playing. I had the unfortunate (TD) duty of having to move the Adv. Women last year to the others courses. This will allow us to know exactly how many courses we will be using and what all is needed to hopefully make improvements for the overall tournament. I know we may lose some that won't know till that Friday and I am sorry all I can suggest is pre-register and as long as you let me know by Friday night I will refund your money.

2. We are not limiting the field just pre-registration only.

3. The sign-up info is on the www.bgdg.org (http://www.bgdg.org) under tournaments - am championships if you want to do it by snail mail.

4. Title disc said they would have 2007 events up after the first of the year. I will check with them if it is not up by the 1st Friday of that year.

5. You may send your money anytime you are ready to part with it.

6. Am-worlds - We did consider and sort of sent in a bid, truefully we just don't have the Pro players or enough volunteers to put on an event for the whole week. As for Pro worlds the majority of our club currently are pro's we very few but growing Am's and we like the Pro players don't have enough to put on a week long event. We may in the future but for right now we just have to do what we can by hosting the 2 big April events.

7. You can email me for any info and I will try and respond on here so you will get current info. lbledsoejr@alltel.net

Thanks Larry, Cant wait to get back.

: ) :

Larry,
thank you for your post. very imformative. can't wait for my first Bowling Green Experience.

Has it been decided about a host hotel, and what all courses will be played yet, trying to map out travel arrangments for juniors

Has it been decided about a host hotel, and what all courses will be played yet, trying to map out travel arrangments for juniors



Hotel: Best Western 1-800-343-2937

Courses for All Int, Jrs: Franklin-Simpson, Chalybeate, Basil Griffin, Preston Miller

All Advanced Players: Lovers Lane, Kerieakes, Hobson Grove, Ephram White

I will be sending in my money soon and when can we get a room at the hotel?

The exact courses divisions will play won't be posted till the week of the event. More than likely only Adv Men, Adv Women and Adv Masters will get to play the main 4 courses due to there numbers and all others will play sencondary courses. As I mentioned though we may be able to accomidate more just depending on numbers and what divisons we have.

You should be able to reserve a room now if you can't let me know and I will make sure we contact them so they can start accepting reservations.

Sending in my money tomorrow will be checking with the hotel soon too.

This turny Should Be Moved A Week Back :mad:

Last year top 21 made the Final 9... the last spot shot about an avg. of 970 golf... If it sticks around there, on a hot weekend I could slide in. The sad part is that it'd take an absolutely hot weekend for me... for most of the guys there that's just a solid weekend.

T-Town (OHIO!) will be rockin with a good crew. At least ten, by the looks of things thus far.


-Chris.

sent in money today and booked my hotel room

What hotel are you staying at?

The host hotel

Sorry if I'm being naive; but if we're mailing in a check, do we make it out to the BGDGC or Larry Bledsoe?


sleepy

Make it out to BGDGC. If anyone already made it out to me I will cash it and put it where it goes so don't worry.

Will there be a Grand Master division?

Sweet...thanks Larry! I'll drop it in the mail tomorrow. :)

Yes there is always some Adv Gr Masters.

Has my money arrived yet?

How much is the host hotel per night? What would someone expect to spend during this trip? not counting traveling thanks

How much is the host hotel per night? What would someone expect to spend during this trip? not counting traveling thanks



Last year, I stayed at Motel 6 in BG (booked a reservation online), it was cheaper than the host hotel. I arrived in BG Thursday night, and stayed 3 nights, and my half was about $75. $50 spent prior for the tournament, $60-80ish for my gas donation(guessing, I didn't drive and bought two tanks of gas, as I recall). I spent about $75 at the fly mart, and probably another $100 (guessing high) on food/alcohol for the weekend. If my math's correct, that's about $380, which could be trimmed, if you live closer, or don't spend $$ at the flymart, or don't drink, or eat cheaper. The Motel 6 is right next to a WhiteCastle, so eating can be done pretty cheaply, just make sure you carry TP in your disc golf bag for emergencies that I was not able to deal with adequately at Kieriakes.

I think my wife and I spent about $350 for the weekend.
That's entry, gas, food, hotel, and beer.

I only spent $10 at the flymart in '06. In '07 I'll probably spent a lot more!!

Thanks for the estimates on money spent over the weekend. As a first-timer, they're helpful in planning...except for the fact that I had no idea there was a fly-mart...now I have to bring double the funds! :D ;)

LMAO!!

Hey JHBLADER.... Is there going to be doubles at Lovers w/ SUNKING and Maceman at Karieakas like last year? If you havent decided yet, I'd call Mike at SUNKING and ask him because I know he is planning on being there for the am weekend and Im sure he would love to do doubles again.

Thanks

There are planning on being here again and I would assume will run the same courses as they did last year. As soon as I get good info I will post it on are web page and here. I have antoher little thing working for Friday between doubles as well that once the info is ironed out I will post for you guys.

Larry have you got my money yet?

Just a quick question to all you players out there. What is it about Bowling Green that draws all of you here every year? I'm really curious because it amazes me to see over 500 people come to this tournament. I love my hometown and I love my courses, and I'm just taken back whenever I see the amount of people who visit to play disc golf, and how many people love talking about this tourney and the city. So, please, what is it about BG that all of you find fascinating? I love my hometown because of the people. I've been to several places, but nowhere have I been where I find more respect and courtesy than here. And about the courses, while theyre not as challenging as others i have played theyre still fun, and they all offer different varieties.

And about the courses, while theyre not as challenging as others i have played theyre still fun, and they all offer different varieties.

The reason I will be come this year is because I have heard nothing but good thing's about this tournament, the course's look great and playing against 275+ Advanced player's is a BIG +.

The diversity of the courses. From Hobson to White, many different kinds of shots are included. The courses in themselves are good, not great. But as a whole, definetly one of the best. How the tournament is run is excellent and playing against so many other players is just a bonus. The staff is great, one of the best I've been around.

Bowling Green is close to the geographic centerpoint of PDGA members. It also may be big because it's big. That's not to say the event isn't run well and the courses are OK which is certainly true. But many other events are also run well and have decent or even better courses. The question is what separates BG from the others?

The Memorial is another example of an event that's bigger for reasons beyond the solid quality of the event in comparison to others. It's a 'cabin fever' getaway for northerners and it's big because it's big. It's similar to a restaurant that doesn't have any better food than others but it happens to currently be the 'in' place to go.

It is 120 miles from my home in Louisville, Ky.
The courses are all unique. Shotmakers!
550+ golfers is a no brainer.

I would love to see Bowling Green host an AM worlds.

I hope I'm not misinterpreting you, and if so please correct, so what you're saying is that its easy to get to, and its simply the "in" thing to do when it comes to disc golf? I'm not trying to make it sound like youre insulting the tourney, which I know youre not so please correct me if I have misinterpreted because thats what I'm reading.

You ask why BG has such a huge turnout. I'm saying that BG does as good a job as many other events and has courses equal to many other events that don't have 1/3 of the turnout. So, the reason must be something else these other events don't have. My suggestion is that geography, the 'in' factor and probably being early in the year all have something to do with it.

I went to BG for three years in a row from 01 to 03 because it was the first big tourney of the year and to get points to go to O4 Worlds. It is somewhat interesting to play against that many players, but the courses have lost some of the appeal to me. I'm not good enough to make the Final 9 therefore if I go this year it is to see many friends and get points for the 08 Worlds.

I have to agree with Chuck.

I went last year because:
-lots of friends were going
-sheer number of players
-quality of courses
-it's only 4 hours from Knoxville
-it is early in the season

But I am going back because:
-it really is well run
-I met great people
-I can guage my skills/improvement against a big field
-the players pack is awesome
-the fly-mart is huge

The whole atmosphere is the perfect way to start off the season!

BTW, the "big because it's big" factor also has to do with BG being perceived as a points machine for those looking for Worlds invites.

Logistical questions:

1.
Last year I was able to get myself grouped with friends so we could car pool. If the pools are set the week before how do we make sure we end up in a pool with our car-poolers? Will you be taking special requests?

2.
At what point will you know what disc molds you will be selling with this year's stamp? I ask because rather than buy a certain disc before heading to BG I'd like to spend my money and get a 2007 BG Ams stamped disc.

There will be no problem with moving people around - either send me an email with those that need in the same pool or put it in your entry. I would prefer to know before Friday night if possible so I can go ahead and make the changes during the week.

JUST REALIZED THAT THE TOURNEY IS DURING THE FINAL FOUR! DECISIONS, DECISIONS

let it go.
come to blowing green for some great disc golf.
take care

Can anyone tell me if my money has come in yet

Yea I got it! :D

Yes we have it, will update the list in a few weeks - plenty of time- just heard the online registration should be up tomorrow if not wed. We will have the tv's going at the flymart for the final 4 as we did last year.

Thanks Larry I just wanted to make sure. Can't wait

Still cant wait to roll in from the NC. Had 1 out of 6 people make the finall nine last year hopefully the NC will pull it better this year and get even more in this year.

is the trash talking starting? Im not sure if you want this!!!

I went to BG for 3 years in a row (97, 98 and 99)
I went to play golf in a new area of the country, and meet and play with people I have never played with before. At that time, they were getting between 100 and 130 in ADV, which at the time, still came close to beating worlds.
It was nice to play with people that lived some else besides WI and ILL. In addition, being the beginning of the Disc Golf year made us want to go play a in nicer weather (then WI). We had the itch to play!
I also made the finals 2 years in a row, so that was always an extra bonus.
I was only in High school at the time, so It was also nice be away from home without your parents, ya know!
That is why BG was popular to us in WI at the time.

Nice post, wouldnt mind seeing it again

uhm and where are you from? show some love for you home homie

I'm a little confused...where are all of these NC guys in the Top 10? I am pretty sure there are no NC players listed in the top 10 for either ADV or INT in 2006? Maybe Masters?

If you are referring to the BG top ten then yes your right. At BG NC has had someone in the top 20 for three years running. The above posts refer to Am worlds which NC does very, very well in.

Now to my NC homies, Those guys in OK treated us very well last July. Lets play nice.

What, someone from NC has been in the top 4 the past 3 year's and now NC dominate's AM World's? :confused:

First off let me apologize to Larry and BG for the thread drift.

Joeseph, was referring to the fact that since 2002, North Carolina has brought home 7 world championships, 3 out of those seven have been Advanced Am. Champions ( David French, JJ, Jackie Smalls), In 2002 and in 2005 we had 2 in the top 4 of the advanced am field. Plus numerous other top 10 and top 20 places.I am not even getting into other divisons. I believe i have proved what I said, that NC doeas very well at Am Worlds.

Joseph have a little more repect for the history of the game. Don't talk so much trash, u have a good game let it talk for you.

Sorry, last post for me on this topic on this thread.

I never said that NC dosen't do good at AM World's. I pretty much said, I don't think NC dominate's AM World's!

"Have a little more respect for the history of the game"~ooook?~~How am I suppose to know what happened in 02, I have only been playing this game now for 2 1/2 year's!

And I don't think my post of = What, someone from NC has been in the top 4 the past 3 year's and now NC dominate's AM World's? :confused: = was talking trash......To the 07 AM World's thread or a different one.

I think DOINK is becoming the Steve Mills of last years Bowling Green thread. :eek: LOL

Ok, now it makes sense...Am worlds.

Yes, I was referring to BG Ams...it is afterall the BG Ams thread.

I think DOINK is becoming the Steve Mills of last years Bowling Green thread. :eek: LOL



I'll second that. Thanks tree frog for appologizing for the thread drift. and now back to the bowling green am.

Sorry, Just one more. Technically there was more am champions from IN than any other state.

Indiana women domiated the 06 worlds.
Brent Koonts 2nd adv.

I am not dissing any other state, I am just stating the that IN owned 05 am worlds. :D

I just got my ticket in and will be there early friday morning if anyone wants to play a round with me i know its early but still

Who cares about Am Worlds? Go PRO!

Any idea when there will be a players list up?

I want to make sure my payment gets there, but I don't want to have someone look individually for it.

yep u hoosiers got us this year

4 champs to 2
2 in adv to 4th in adv.

And on another point u dont get much more class than the Fraziers. And the way Brent handled the final nine and the playoff earned mad respect.

What do guys think the turnout for the listed U-19 Division will be? My little brother, although a good golfer (920 despite being too busy with track/cc and work to golf at all between tournaments) is a bit money sensitive so if the turnout is good he may prereg for the U-19 division instead of advanced.

And as for me: As soon as I get the ol' paycheck tomorrow I shall be prereged. Hopefully I can make my first true impact in an advanced division more than just locally...


-Chris.

When do we find out what courses we will be playing?

I will put up the pre-registered list the first of Feb.

As for which courses for sure which division will play that won't be posted till after registration ends.

Dont forget the year Jack won Eddie Got fourth! also from nc


I got third in INT two years ago @ bowling green does that count :D

quoting woj from another thread..

I want to be ready for BG Ams... I want to be the best out of the SE Mich/NW Ohio area there...



Sorry Woj, the 101 has some fine AM players this year. Scott White, T BUT, Ian Drukis to name a few. And with my caddy skills, we will have at least 1 in the final 9.

I'll go out on a limb and pick Larry Leonard to win. :D

Yes, I think he would win by about 20 strokes.

I'll go out on a limb and pick Larry Leonard to win. :D



I dont know. I hear that JD Hazel kid from BG is really awesome. The local pro's say he stands a better chance than most of at least getting in the Final Four.

JD likes to fabricate stories though. JD also likes to talk in the 3rd person.

I also hear he likes to do really bizzare things with cinnamon dessert pizza. :confused: :confused:

I didn't say I would be. I said I want to be. And I stand by that 100%: I want to be the best player out of the SE Mich/NW Ohio area in that event. I've been putting min. an hour a night for the past couple of weeks, I've been working incessantly on my midrange game... I'm making an honest effort at true practice now, trying to eliminate the inconsistancy that plagues me. I am capable of 980+ rated golf... I just need to eliminate the inconsistancies that have killed me.

I won't say I will be. But I will maintain that I want to be and I will work to achieve that goal, regardless of your own opinion.

Although I'm thinking of printing out your post and taping it over my computer here...


-Chris.
[and if you feel like weighting my rating against me, eliminate the last four rounds... all of which were played with a torn tendon in my knee: between returning from Wisconsin and tearing that tendon I was a 940 rated player]

Just on a second note: I don't mean to disrespect any other players from the area, or brag about any of my own abilities. Daemon brought it up, and I'm just saying its my personal goal. I want to work for it. I put it up in the first place where people could see it in order to make sure that I worked hard, or I'd look like a fool.

I have a goal, and a strong belief in what I can do if I work extremely hard for the next 2.3 months.

I seem to remember that Bob Dole liked to talk about Bob Dole a lot...and we all know how well he did!!

I think the advanced should play Franklin instead of Hobson.

How about everyone else.

Before any tourny, I only putt for that week prior to the event. I am usually solid. Me personally I will prob practice putting every other day for about 2-3 weeks before the tourny. If I have my 1000 rated caddy again. I will do better, only because I will have a better head game. See everyone there. Quote me if you like. IN/IL will be a force to be reconded with this year. Pro and AM(baggers)
GO BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

eff that, Hobson was my nemesis last year, I want another crack at it. You feel like you should shoot like 4-8 under there, and even par ends up being a pretty decent score. It's a tester, and a course that rounds out the variety of courses played in this tourney.

I've never played Franklin, but my opinion is that of a guy that's only been there once (for the tourney) and wants another crack at the courses I played last year.

I agree with GDL. Ive played @ BG for the last 3 years and I would hate to see the layout changed.
Franklin is a great course, and if you were to use it in place of anywhere I would have to say use it for Lovers Lane.
Hobson is the hardest course of the 4 and Lovers is the easiest.
The only thing that I will gaurentee about my performance is that I will get 1000 points and qualify for '08 worlds

yeah, us Gosh Darn Lefties gotta stick together. :D

I feel you guys on the memories of Hobson. It is a course that you should shoot 4 or 5 down but never do.
Do you know why that is?
It's a lucky course. All the good pros will tell you that. I hear there are rumblings of taking that off the Bowling Green Open event.
We need to move away from luck or at least limit it. The back nine of Hobson can just be silly. Compared to Franklin that course is just out dated.

I respect your opinion. Good luck at the BG Ams. I need to conquer The Memorial before I can talk smack about BG Ams.
Maybe I should become a 900 rated golfer before I talk smack!
Good day.

I'm just talking shiz Chris. You got the skills to make the final 9 with smart play.

I love Hobson. It reminds of northern MI courses. Most of the fairways are tight, but defined. No clumps of trees in the fairway on most holes.

Housejunkie, who's you caddy?

DSpro are you gonna caddy? I may caddy for the FW legend "thrill".

if it is raining I am going to the bar. O'laaaaa.

Housejunkie. Thanks for the props and keep the hot rounds coming out of IN

Brent I can't believe you took my money again. :( :mad::mad:

I guess I will have to bring it at CPC to grab some of that IN cash.
Yes I am caddying for some 101 playas. Or if it's raining, of course I will join you at the bar.
What's FW?

Fort Wayne, baby!!!!
I do like Michigan money, :Dbut I was just getting it back from the "original" the week before.

I will be at the Chill on Sun.

I'll go out on a limb and pick Larry Leonard to win. :D

Guess I don't know you well enough to get your sense of humor right off :) S'all good... all I know is my plan is 975-980 rated golf on average, minimum. If the other A3TAD01 area guys play better, they deserve to be ahead of me.

I really wish I could find time for a week at Highbridge Hills in March... I wonder if I can convince some friends a Spring Break in the Northwoods is worth it, a week at Highbridge is enough to bring anyone's course management skills up to pro level.

Anybody else from the area interested in the idea? :D Haha

JD Hazel / Larry Bledsoe / Somone in Bowling Green...

I attended the Bowling Green Ams last year. because my high school (and track practice) does not get out until Friday, we did not make it to Bowling Green until 11:00 pm (way too late to make registration) Larry told me to just show up Saturday morning at the players meeting and I would be taken care of. I just wanted to make sure before I sent in my money that I would be able to do this again.

Thanks

This is why we're only doing pre-registration so there wont be any problems signing up. It's best to simply go to www.TitleDisc.com (http://www.TitleDisc.com) and register, but ask your parents if you can use their credit card.

I had, and most kid friends of my brother and himself, all have debit cards and bank accounts by 16 as far as I've seen. Mommy and Daddy just need to sign the field trip form these days! :D

Ohhhhh yeeaaa.
Suite reserved. Whats the word on doubles this year? I forget, can I play both Maceman and Sunking doubles, or are they both at the same time, different courses?

You'll have to wait for Larry to answer that. I do not have any info. nor contact with Maceman or Sunking.

I will post info on doubles as soon as I verify it. I have another little suprise or too coming soon as well. Will try and get the pre-reg list up this weekend but trying to iron some things out and play a little myself ( :).

:eek:recovering from my stroke. Uh, is there a reduced rate at the host hotel? $178 for two nights for a poor family like us is a little bit much. We might have to fall back to the Motel 6, even though the owner didn't want us putting outside. Larry, we are talking about the Best Western with the atrium, right? $89 bucks is a little steep. One could almost stay at the Marriott across the street from our course for that! ;) rWc3523

how close is the Microtel Hotel to Tourney Central?

If I recall, it was less than a mile on the other side of the I-65 overpass. Lodging's gonna be costly for this one. I need to know what the tourney rate is at the host hotel. Unlikely I'll be staying there, but you never know. Microtel wasn't that cheap either! :( rWc3523 :cool:

I thought the rate was $55 a night. The best western is just off the insterstane if you are paying that price - don't - make sure and ask for discgolf rate, also the real nice hotel with the atrium was the holiday inn and it is expensive. I may have a couple more hotels with discount rates here soon but will have to wait for there replies.

Thanks Larry, Maybe I was looking at the wrong one. $55 a night is reasonable. Best Western on Scottsville Road, correct? I'll check again or just call them. rWc3523 :cool:

how is Americas Best Value Inn , 250 Cumberland Trace Rd,
it is close to tourney central and CHEAP!

larry or "The Dude"

are there any good hole by hole pictures on the web of the courses we wil be playing? i looked at your web site and saw the few you have listed are there any other resources? just wondering man i am getting so stoked on my first BG tourney. i seriously can't wait

Bath - not sure on that hotle - I would google it.
As for pictures - nothing yet just haven't took the time to get out. If I play this weekend I will try and get a few of where I am playing.

thanks larry

Any word on the courses to be played? I am coming down Monday and Tuesday to practice.
Thanks

Well since I cant tell you the courses for the divisions I can only list all 8 courses used...

Lovers Lane
Kereiakes
White Park
Hobson Grove
Chalybeate
Franklin
Basil-Griffin
Preston Miller (basket missing and no teepads but will be completed by March 23)

Hopefully for next years Ams we'll get to use Phil Moore Park which is still in the development stage if I recall correctly. We were hoping it would be done by this spring, but for whatever reason I think its been pushed back until 2008. There is also a new park opening that is acquiring more land and there was some talk of looking at it as well for a potential course. Hopefully by 2010 we'll have 10 courses altogether and all our other courses fully equipped with new signs and pads. Personally, if I had the $$$ then I'd purchase one of the local ball golf courses, or at least try to co-own one where I could install some baskets and pads. And you can help by sending me $$$!!!

Whenever I start my photogrpahy classes in the next year or so at campus I'll see if I can be the club photographer. Until then anyone who has a camera can just simply take pics and upload em. Hopefully our Comm. Officer will be able to do this on our website soon.

You dont have to own or co-own a ball golf course to install a disc golf course on it. Look at Crystal River plantation inn(Red Hawk) where the PLAYERS CUP is held at. Mike Barnett at SUNKING and Denny Ritner put lots of time into this course and our sport! All Im saying is anyone can do it, you just have to find the right course thats willing to allow it. There is also another disc course on a ball golf course in Dunedin,FL. Sorry, we may resume on the BG thread.

Dave here is my opimion on the courses.

White=== Richlands longer with out the OB Hyzer, hyzer, hyzer,.............
Lovers lane==== is the same with more trees! It would be like Jackson ville front nine but longer holes.

Hobson
Keriaks ==== typical carolina golf but easier! Valley springs Cedar Hills. On one of the courses you can throw over alot of the trees to make holes easier.

Im looking forward to plying with you, you should kill this place!

Stayed there our first year down (2 yrs ago) and for the price its not bad I won't stay there again but it is cheap.

White is richlands on CRACK

Clark, Poony,

thanks guys i can't wait to go man i am counting every minute! look forward to playing with all my N.C. boys along way from home.

Still curious if the U-19 division gets many people generally... my brother is thinking of entering.

Look at the past results.

Yo dave Bowling Green was one of the best places i have ever played befor. so u should have a blast. and like u man i cant wait eather.

Yo dave and clark i just got 2 rooms at the hamtion so now i just need ronny huffman to get his 2 rooms and then we will have 4 rooms and hopefull have all the rooms we need.

As far as I can tell this is a first time for U-19...

you are the man! i will holla at you this week so we can work out meeting up. Me and Montty are leaving Tuesday at some point later in the afternoon so we should be there Wednesday afternoon.

if there is enough people playing U19, I may play it.

Hey everybody,

I went on our website today, and the Super Color Buzzz for the BG Ams 07 can be ordered. It is a VERY SWEET design. Just go to BGDG.org (http://www.bgdg.org/) and order yours today!

Usually <19 play Am 2 to play against more players. If we have 4 I would have the division but <16 is usually where it starts.

Now available Super Color Buzz - 2007 Am Stamp.

And concerning U-19 versus MA2... the argument is U-19 versus MA1 for him. He has a 919 rating so its a $30 differential for him, one he can't really afford with the amount the trip would cost him anyway. (plus he isn't really a 919 rated player right now... hasn't touched a disc since August due to athletics obligations so playing MA1 would be a brutally pointless thing for him)

I'm there again for sure. And this year I think I'll try to stay sober enough to play disc golf. :o

I'm there again for sure. And this year I think I'll try to stay sober enough to play disc golf. :o



I actually know people who play better when theyre drunk and/or high. They're so used to playing wasted that its the only way they know how to play.

The Buzz looks sweet. Hope this year's players pack is as good as the last few. rWc3523

I understand that... My problem was that I was out drinking so late that when I showed up to the course, I was still hammered from the night before, with about 2 hours sleep. Not that my first day's scores were any good either. This year will be much better.

I have lost two discs this week and want to replace them but would rather replace with tournament stamped discs.

Just booked my room and pre registered so I am ready to go.

Is there a pre registration list so far to see how many or who is going?

Larry said they were planning to get the pre-reg up on February 1st, so just a couple more days.

Thanks, this will be my first time going and I debated going becuase of the drive and said the heck with it, i am going and now that I am signed up I am very excited

What state is taking home the title? Or is the title staying in KY?

Jersey, baby.

Usually <19 play Am 2 to play against more players. If we have 4 I would have the division but <16 is usually where it starts.

Now available Super Color Buzz - 2007 Am Stamp.
Here is the link: web page (http://www.sportdiscs.com/catalog/item/1688761/4175308.htm)

What kind of plastic is this disc. I just need to know if i'm going to display this only or if I will be throwing a couple as well :D:D

THe supercolor "z" buzzzes have usually been a white plastic. I didn't think it felt like Z, more like X. They throw alot like the X buzzzes, at least. I don't know about durability.

I've heard nothing but bad things about the supercolor plastic for durability to be honest... But they're absolutely phenomenal for full color stamping and display discs, nothing better. Although I haven't actually seen any of the innova INNColors.

I believe Larry told me its ESP plastic. At first he told me Z then then said ESP, so I would go with that.

Which Division??

Personally I think the Masters title may be headed south!!!

Later....

I meant the AM1 div. But now that you mention it, I'm sure Michigander Frame-O will be down there, either defending his Mastas title, or trying to grab an AM1 as well. Who's your pick?

reggaB? Is that you? Does this mean you're, uh, dropping back down? :eek:Or are ya speaking for some of your Ga buds? If not, I should see ya there. rWc3523 :cool:

Don't any of these guys ever move UP! :confused: Guess I'll be hustling for last place cash once again! :p Of course, that will be a first in itself. rWc3523 :cool:

Russ,

Yeah, I am back playing Advanced. Have not had much time to play since my boys are usually playing sports most of the year (you know how that goes) not many people offer 1-day Sunday tournies. Think I played a total of 5 tournaments last year.

Will I win BG Ams in the Masters division??.....

Probably not, but two of the guys coming with me have a real good chance of doing just that!! Rated at least 20 points above my rating.

DisPro,

I remember Michael Frame from Am Worlds in KC!! He actually got to play on the top card for at least one round if I remember correctly. Tell him I said hi!! If he is playing BG Ams again this year, I am sure we will probably play at least one round together.

Later,

Mike D

Cool, Mike. I'll be there giving it another Shot. I got to play with Mike Frame in Iowa in 04. Really good player. BG's always fun. Tons of people I only see once a year. rWc3523 :cool:

Mike D, will do! I'm sure you will see him down at BG. Tough to miss him at 6'6". :D

Mike D, will do! I'm sure you will see him down at BG. Tough to miss him at 6'6". :D

Or the resounding slap of his disc before every single putt :D or the way the ground rumbles when he Rhyno-Putts :D "BROWN PARK!"

Mike's great, always enjoy being on his card.

I just updated the pre-registered list. Please if your name is not there don't panic as I may not have them all yet. I will try and update every week for sure but will do more as I have the time.

Also the sweet "esp" buzz stamp will not be in the players package at all so if you want that disc you need to order it or hope we have a few left to sell at the tourney. I have another cool stamp that once I know the final disc it will be put on I will post on here for you. It is pretty sweet as well.

Is there a schedule for doubles yet?

Now that the list is up I am just happy to see that I am not the only one bagging in INT (rated 899)

WE have:
912 - with two previous INT wins and a couple of 2nd place
911
909
906
905

Mike D, will do! I'm sure you will see him down at BG. Tough to miss him at 6'6". :D



He he...short people. 6'6" aint' got nothin on me! :cool:

More like tall people got nothin on me! lol and I will quote pat vitale "power to the little people"!!!!! lmao

I love Hobson. It reminds of northern MI courses. Most of the fairways are tight, but defined. No clumps of trees in the fairway on most holes.

Housejunkie, who's you caddy?



Rob sandrick. He'll probably be coming down again.

I've played with Blair a couple times and he is good. He's 14 and will only get better. His little brother is 11 and not bad for his age either.

One of the best disc golf families around too. If Blair has a consistent weekend I would have to say he would have to be one of the two or three picks to win Intermediate at age 14. And I would pick him to win an Advance title before he hits 18 if he stays Am until then.

Is Frame-O ever going pro? I don't think he's gonna learn much from playing Am all the time.

Now that the list is up I am just happy to see that I am not the only one bagging in INT (rated 899)

911

bagging!!!!! 912 is only a stroke above you per round! how is that baging?

yes it is only one stroke above. prolly why he guesses he's not the "only one bagging"

(I didn't realize the 912 rated player was in his teens.)

It's not really about the ratings. It's about the opportunity to play on the top card with some pressure Yet all of these tournaments seem to attract players who have already won in INT and are likely to win again.

I am convinced (especially in INT) that if you have a first place finish under your belt it is time to move up.

Last year in INT there were all sorts of people with 909-914 ratings and previous top-3 finishes. Guess what?...by the end of the weekend they placed in the top 10 with rated rounds of 930-1000.

I understand that the onus is on me to make the top card. However, in my experience my best only gets me to the second card because all of these previous winners are bagging at the top.

I know alot of people don't put much stock in this ratings business, but as far as I'm concerned there is no such thing as bagging in divisions with rating caps. If my rating was 915 or over then I'd play advanced, but since I am one of the ratings you reference (906) I will continue to play AM2.

and you will continue to progress slowly. you are correct the rating is not everything but if you play a few tournaments a year it is a decent barometer of your ability. and just becasue you are rated 914 does nto mean you should play AM2 the reason people bag in this event is because of the sweeeet payout. kids that are fenoms can come here rated 955 plus with out accepting cash and place and get enough discs to take care of them for the year. play where you feel good playing but if you wnat to progress the best way to do it is play with people better than you. and the way to do that is move up. i did and it was the best thing ever for my game.

why would you play am2 if you are rated over 875?
you may win buy who did you really beat?
I am rated 854 and play advanced.
That is just what is best for me. I have enough frisbees.

This debate will always go around and around...

But let me ask you this Williamson:
When are you going to move up to ADV?
When your rating dictates that you must? after you've won an event? after BG?

For most people the answer is probably "when I'm ready". Don't you think you're ready once you won an INT event or two?

(I am still too in consistent in my tournament play to move up - I have a few 930 rated rounds but a lot of 880s. I'm moving up once my tournament and general play levels out.)

I am playing INT at BG this year because I want another run at the same courses as last year. I played like crap...I want to measure my progress over this first year of tournament play.

This chip on my shoulder is based on the fact that at a couple events last year the top finishers were openly bragging that they were going to place high and take all of the loot...and some of these guys already had won an INT event earlier in the year.

I moved up when I was rated 872. But that was because I thought I was ready, and looking back I think that I was.

That said, there's actually a ratings cap for the Intermediate division. Advanced is subjective, but Intermediate has a hard-line number. I say if you're rating is 914 or under, go for it.

I moved up when I was rated 868 because I felt like I played 3 of the worst rounds of my life in a c teir and still took one of the last cahses in INT. After that I decided that if my worst golf was getting me to cash in INT then decent golf should get me to cash in ADV. Since then I have only missed chashing in 3 tournaments. Also, ratings don't mean a whole lot. I won an A teir over someone who was rated almost 50 pts higher than me at the time.

Even though I dont have a rating I am playing advanced because I want to see how I stack up against better players than me. I play with alot of local pros and the advanced players here in BG, but I want to know how I compare to better players from around the country. I always have played intermediate and placed consistently in the Top 15 but never Top 10 so I figured its time I move up to learn from better players to improve myself to where I can get in the Top 10 consistently. This years BG Ams. is going to be not just a tournament, but a learning tool as well.

the reason people bag in this event is because of the sweeeet payout.



I played INT last year... finished tied for 12th I think... top 10% of the field. I got two discs, 1 champ, 1 KC Pro. How is that a sweet payout? My friend finished around 4th or 5th and got about 4 or 5 discs. Again...

The payout at BG is in the player's pack. I felt stiffed last year because I was not able to sign up until after the packs were gone. Before people say I should have signed up sooner, I didn't know I was going to have the weekend off until the weekend before.

This year I am signed up, and I hope the player's pack is just as nice as last year...

But back to my point... I don't think that the payout is what I would call sweet.

I played a C-Tier in Cookeville where I think 3 (maybe 4) baskets were given away across divisions... I placed tied for middle of the field in ADV and took home two Star discs... that's a sweet payout for a tournament.

Well let me clarify also that I have never won an AM2 sanctioned tournament.

I also am very inconsistant take a look at my last tournament.
the new year open on Jan 7th
first round 896, second round 1002 (my best round ever). And I took 4th.

This will also be my first trip to bowling green and I will most likely be playing the courses blind depending on when I get down there.

So yes I'm playing AM2 because my rating is under the cap, which means I can. But I also believe thats where I belong for this tournament.

If I'm lucky enough make the lead card this year and my rating is still under the AM2 cap(which I doubt it will be) then I'll play advanced next year.

I'm not one of those AMs that just play down to win tons of plastic so I can then sell them . Just ask my wife. She wishes I would sell some. The only people that get my discs when I win them is the upstart league I play in that needs discs every year. They are all donated, unless I play with them myself.

Either way I'm going to bowling green to have fun in a competitive enviroment and hopefully shoot rounds I'll be happy with. :)

The payout at BG is in the player's pack. I felt stiffed last year because I was not able to sign up until after the packs were gone. Before people say I should have signed up sooner, I didn't know I was going to have the weekend off until the weekend before.

I am sorry you felt like you didn't get much but for $30 those that got the players pack which was most you got over that in value. For those that didn't you still got a disc for the $30. When you figure all those that got the sweet players package for the $30 and those that got just one disc, there really just isn't much money left over to try and payout the numbers needed. Actually I have to lower the figures for the INT just so I can have money to payout as without it I wouldn't pay any. So to say it is not sweet, to me is crazy. Anyway just thought I would throw that out there.
