how am i lowering the bar? by defying your predictions of an easy victory on my way to an overall win in the bet? i'm just keepin it real.

i imagine by the end of march we'll have a better idea where this thing is heading, and for you i'm guessing that will be a downward spiral.

Hey since you're speaking of a downward spiral I see that Bluemont (the course you hate more than any other) is having the Cherry Blossom tourney in April. I'm in for the very reasonable $20 advance master division so feel free to join me since I manned up and am going to Seneca on Saturday.

Amusingly it's on April 1st, so come on down and make a fool of yourself in NoVa land again.

Sure it will be tough to get over that first hurdle of playing smart, but I'm just trying to point you in the right direction.

We could still go to Bluemont in the fall, (unless you have some grandmothers 103rd birthday in Phoenix to go to) but I should have easily crushed you by then and be retired.

Have you heard the reports on the poor conditions at Seneca? Good call on making this event a go. After your stunning doubles performance last weekend in the slop at Druid I'm thinking that this could be another Codorus pounding for you.

Dick
Feb 22 2007, 05:44 PM
hopefully the tees are cleared. if not, since we aren't pre-reg'd we could just go for a practice round at rockburn. you going to check after work on friday?

Feb 22 2007, 05:57 PM
Excuse me Dr. Evasive. I seem to recall a conversation along the lines of:



YDGH: Do you want me to go out to Seneca on Friday and see how bad it is?
my opponent: Don't bother checking. I'm going **** the conditions. I'm a man blah blah blah.
YDGH: I'm smelling victory.
mo: I'm smelling a BK broiler. Gotta go.



You threw this out there so it's on. If you want to forfeit and no show no problem. I'm ahead 3-2 at the end of the day regardless of your attendence. I'm looking forward to more scenes of you tumbling down slopes for 36 holes.

Should we expect to see you on a course somewhere in late April?

This just in from a Seneca Creek insider:


Seneca conditions suck. They didn't open the roads to the park until Wednesday. 3-4 inches of ice/snow w/slush at the bottom. The tees [as usual when wet/icy] are going to be dangerous, but the fairways will be slop.



We might need to start a secondary poll on how many times my opponent goes down on Saturday.

i am only pointing out that you are trying to weasel other conditions and rules into the bet AFTER THE FACT. and that as the person who actually crafted and posted the terms of the bet, which are real simple, you should at least be able to understand and follow it. or is your 3rd grade education preventing your comprehension of the terms? :o

Based on your performance at Codorus I don't think warming up is actually necessary anymore. As a matter of fact I could probably skip the first couple of holes, take the penalty, and still win.

Dick
Feb 23 2007, 06:23 PM
ah, a boast! care to back that up? call me if you need me to sign you up and get you set on a hole. you start in your car when they call start and walk out there and catch your group a couple holes later...a few 7's will do you good.

actually from the description, there may be some strange conditions and high numbers like druid the other day.
"The fairways are a fairly tightly packed 2" of snowy ice. when it melts, it'll be slush city everywhere. Most everyplace I walked today was pretty firm, with only the areas that were in direct sun being soft enough to sink in. So it may start to get a little sloppy tomorrow afternoon, if we reach our projected high of 46 - but it should otherwise be a day of clean shoes and slick fairways "

In my stars I am above thee, but be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon �em.



I awoke this morning and began preparing for today's showdown with my opponent. I selected my Nomads (http://marylandnomads.com/index.php?topic=3.0) polo with the green lettering as a subtle jab at my opponent. After consuming a well balanced breakfast of whole grain cereal and soy milk, I showered and dressed for todays Z-tier ratings based divisional tourney at Seneca. (http://www.pdga.com/course/courses_by_city.php?id=392) We were going to face off in the middle Silver division. Naturally I arrived first to find the course covered in a generally smooth layer of crusty ice as I had predicted conditions would be. So much for my opponent's meterological skills and his prediction of:


The 45 degree days and 40 mph winds will dry things out in no time.
- The Load
Tuesday of this past week



With 15 minutes to the players meeting I exited my vehicle to applause from the assembled masses and began to warm up my putting. My opponent continued to cower in his minivan fearful of the 24 degree temps and gusty winds. TD Gangloff (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/playerstats.php?PDGANum=4010) recognizing my celebrity status started me on hole one with his fiance' and a couple of influential locals. My opponent was sent off to start elsewhere with some of the common folk. Going into today's battle I went to an even greater minimalization of my bag and carried only two Starfires/SL's, two TeeBirds/Tl's, two Roc's and two Rhyno's. ;) Things were interesting and I was playing solidly until I took a nasty circle six on the infamous hole 11 when I went macho and ran the bucket from 50' out on my third shot and skated OB into the creek. Everyone on our card went circle something on that hole. Finishing up on #18 I see my opponent driving off in search of fuel for himself and his vehicle. Both items were doubtlessly dangerous for human consumption. I took this as a good sign of a bad round for my opponent. Checking the scoreport I see that the first round ended with:

<font color="red">Your Disc Golf Hero:</font> 59
<font color="green"> my opponent:</font> 64

Knowing that my opponent has absolutely no comeback potential I began to notice that I was tied for third with four players ahead of me. Hmmm...could I win this? Gangloff mentions to me that first place Silver gets a #$*&$!' red/black Revo Bag! (http://www.discgolfer.com/club.html) Now here's a prize I might actually hang around for if the fisherman could reel in four skilled discers instead of the usual blundering buffoon. In the second round I'm on the second card with Nomad Brown (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/playerstats.php?PDGANum=11288) (as a matter of fact there might have been more Nomads at this event than any other club) local Paul Bunyan Larry Arnold and Bryan B. one of several deaf discers having a go at it today. Off we went to hole #7 to start our march to greatness.


I am convinced that nothing will happen to me, for I know the greatness of the task for which Providence has chosen me.



On our first hole George drives and deuces, and then makes a fantastic 100' putt/approach to save his three on the next hole. I'm cruising along. Larry starts to have difficulty and gradually tumbles out of contention. The softened ground on #11 allows me to execute a face saving four under the watchful eye of fan Smith. (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/playerstats.php?PDGANum=12292) Picking up a few deuces along the way things are going smoothly and the Blue Brick (http://www.innovadiscs.com/discs/rhyno.html) and I are nailing 100' foot approaches hole after hole leaving myself putt after putt under 10'. Larry has two shots of the day when he hits an early tree on #15 landing about 60' off the tee. He steps up and tomahawks his second shot past the basket! It's a mullett shot! (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/playerstats.php?PDGANum=12989) Larry does the same shot as his drive on #6 and bounces and lands 4' past the basket for a drop in deuce to close out his round. Back at tourney central we are awaiting the arrival of my opponent and his quest for greatness.


Destiny is an absolutely definite and inexorable ruler. Physical ability and moral determination count for nothing. It is impossible to perform the simplest act when the gods say �no.�



Scores after two rounds were:

<font color="red"> Your Disc Golf Hero:</font> 53 (112) /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
<font color="green"> Nurse Naught:</font> 60 (124) :o

In typical fisherman fashion I managed to reel in the lead card and walked away with first place among the 20 Silver participants. The Revoluton Bag and a ca$h stuffed envelope is mine. Nurse Naught got a new chew toy. (http://www.dtworld.com/Go_Balls_Out_Super_Puppy_p/g51-spgbo.htm)

In other interesting sidenote action Nurse Naught apparently took one good tumble trying to mimic my graceful and powerful run-ups instead of his usual stand and stumble. It was interesting to note Nurse Naught clutching a blue blankey (http://www.clivebanks.co.uk/Tom/Blankey.jpg) after the round that was apparently used to keep the Leaning Tower of Failure upright in the second round.

The current bet standings are:
<font color="red"> Your Disc Golf Hero: </font> 3
<font color="green"> Nurse Naught: </font> 2

I've won the last two events by a total of 21 strokes. Someone needs to step in and put Nurse Naught out of his misery quickly.

maybe since your are such a "hero of destiny" you will be able to close me out quickly. i doubt it though.
my strategy of having my evil cohort ice the farways today seems to have backfired. today's event was more a combination of curling(which i apparently suck at), ice skating, mountaineering and disc golf. i must admit you played well, but i doubt you will be able to pull away. you will need a new line of boasting and bravado after you lose next week at loriella.likely the only destiny you have is a dogfight the rest of the way. and an eventual loss.

Dear Mr. Zink,

Please allow me to first say what a honor it is to have you post on this years version of The Thread. I'd also like to congratulate you on your victory Saturday that along with mine a division below allowed the Nomads (http://marylandnomads.com/index.php) to punk the Cedar Farm boys on their home course. That coupled with the Cannabis Flyers ducking out (the two that did show actually got beat by Nurse Naught) made it a big day for the club.

With regards to your proposed experiment I can certainly understand the position you find yourself in. I slapped your boy around for 12 months last year (yes he won the bet, but lost the war and his pride) and things are looking mighty bleak at this point. However I'm on a mission to get to eight wins as quickly as possible so that I may retire from having to play PDGA events until they design a respectable divisional structure. Since that will never happen I believe this will be a non-Hysell like retirement. As a side note I'd like to point out that in addition to wearing my green lettered Nomads polo as a jab at Nurse Naught I actually did stop and consume three old fashioned at Dunkin' D.'s on the way to the course. At this point the only thing I can do to further mimic Nurse Naught is to gain 70 pounds and bang his wife. Sources tell me that his wife is not oppossed to this idea.

In other medical news Nurse Naught's best chance at a window of opportunity got shut this morning when my annual cancer follow-up came back squeaky clean. Bad news for him as my being treated and out for awhile, and then an attempted heroic comeback (oh wait I did that against md21954 three years ago) was probably his best bet at making this a competition.

Another record setting night at the gym lifting as some of my training partners were heard to exclaim:


I don't know what that #$*&$! in the black bottle is, but I want some.

It's like kissing your sister...if your sister was an overweight bald guy.

As Nurse Naught mentioned I was rather unmotivated to actually go to Loriella today, as I'm already prepared to leave the Association behind me. However since I had told Mr. Biscoe that we would be bringing The Greatest Show In Disc to his event I felt I had a gentleman's obligation to show.

Arriving at Nurse Naught's clinic at 0730 this morning I merely had to wait 10 minutes for him and his child bride to come out for the 90 minute jaunt to Loriella. Upon arrival Nurse Naught busys himself with ordering us lunch while I go out and warm up. He wasn't feeling particularly confident today as he believes he might be experiencing the onset of pneumonia. This vs. my listless attitude towards playing a sanctioned event made this an interesting showdown. The wind today was howling at 40 mph during the first round. Pre kick-off I met one of my fans who expressed confidence in a sound drubbing for Nurse Naught.

So off we go to round one. I felt like I was playing pretty well in the coveted Advanced Masters ;) field and handled the wind pretty well. I would get occasional glimpses of Nurse Naught around the course or hear him attempting to get some distance on a drive with his patented grunt that sounds similar to someone who has eaten to much cheese and is a little backed up. Scores after the first round:

<font color="red"> Your Disc Golf Hero: </font> 59
<font color="green"> Nurse Naught: </font> 61

Regular readers will note that Nurse Naught has never defeated me when trailing after the first round.

At lunch Nurse Naught procured each of us a box of girl scout cookies, and then embarassed himself when the ice cream truck rolled into the park, as he managed to out run the herd of children from the adjacent playground to be first in line. To his credit he didn't actually throw any elbows. I find myself in second place one shot behind our lame division's leaders with Nurse Naught carded one group behind us with some of the common folk.

Round two saw some slightly better wind conditions, but from the longer tees and some longer basket positions things got interesting. My most entertaining shot was on hole #12 where my second shot found me 30' from the basket with a maze of scrub trees between me and my three. I took the Pro Rhyno and did a severe hyzer shot simply trying to get through the trees, but it banged into the top of the Discatcher chastity belt, shot straight up, and then came down through the top to nestle into the chains! I was able to hear Nurse Naught bellowing his way around the course on the hole(s) ahead of me with several:


Oh no!




Crap!




Goddamnit!



so I figured my steady play was going to stand up. With two holes to go I close to within two of the division leader (by going 3 to his 6), but we both have good drives on the last hole leaving me no chance to garner the win. I actually botched a 10'er on that hole for my three costing me dearly. Scores from the second round:

<font color="green"> Nurse Naught: </font> 69 (130)
<font color="red"> Your Disc Golf Hero:</font> 71 (130)

I was stunned to see that Nurse Naught was able to rally and snatch a tie from the jaws of defeat. I was convinced that he would come in with a mid 70's score like the other half of the lead card, and as it turned out the rest of his card. While the 10' debacle at the end might be considered the death blow for my victory, I lay it squarely at the feet of hole #3 where I took a six in the first round (from the short tee!) and then a five in the second round from the long tee. It's a long tunnel shot that is perhaps 10' wide and played 263' and 377' today. Both times I tried to drive the Champion Rhyno down this mother, and both times I kicked into the leftside woods forcing me to do a turnover into the next open fairway and then jam my way back in. Obviously this was less than successful. I lost the tourney and the Round VI win on that hole.

Standings after six events:

<font color="red"> Your Disc Golf Hero: </font> 3
<font color="green"> Nurse Naught: </font> 2
<font color="purple"> Ties: </font> 1

Next event is most likely the Nomads Z Tour this Saturday. Though Nurse Naught is on his way to Patient First this evening to confirm his self diagnosis, so he might be out of action come Saturday.

I think the confidence of hack and his fans was shaken yesterday after i managed to avoid a defeat before being forced to go for medical attention later that evening.

feeling ill i also rushed out of there and almost gave hawk the technical win, but i was able to contact the TD and straighten out the scores. i would have felt worse for my cardmates if my illness and stupidity had caused them trouble, but luckily it all worked out. i'm sure hawk will get on railing about scoring inconsistencies and such, but i suggest to his fans that the real trouble is an inability to perform consistently and win. hawk barely held me off yesterday and has only beaten me at 2 ice bowl and a ratings based event played on a hard coating of ice. assuming i cam post this weekend, expect a win for the dr of love.

69 was a good second round yesterday Dr. Evil. Maybe infection/virus is a good strategy for you.

hawkgammon
Mar 04 2007, 05:05 PM
Excuse me but let's be clear about what you revealed to me this afternoon.

1. You never turned in your groups second round scorecard.

2. The TD or other official running the event never confirmed the scores thus certifying your comeback.

3. 804.03 F.
All players are responsible for returning their scorecards within 25 minutes after completion of the round. Failure to do so shall result in the assessment of two penalty throws, without warning, to each player listed on the late scorecard.



4. You have yet to turn in the scorecard in question, and certainly didn't make your paniced call within 25 minutes.

Sounds like this tie is rather dubious. Curious how this all happened. Hmmm....

Dick
Mar 04 2007, 05:53 PM
luckily the TD made a ruling due to the circumstances and allowed the scores to be relayed over the phone. i believe the TD's ruling would be final, but i could be mistaken.many of the shoulds having been replaced by shalls make it unclear if the td has final say. i will accept the td's judgement regardless.

obviously i made a mistake. if you are desperate enough for a win, go ahead and count it. i will beat you anway. having tied you while seriously ill has confirmed my suspicions that you got lucky a few times, but overall I will be able to beat you.

Mar 04 2007, 07:45 PM
After that round, your signature should read:


Hawk is a better player than me.

and better at curling and ice skating.

And following the rules.

Dick
Mar 04 2007, 11:00 PM
i wouldn't say he was better at following the rules. i'm sure you have never violated the rules yourself there mr. wilson. no foot faults. always throw within 30 seconds...whatever. we both know that nobody is perfect.
i obviously made a mistake and didn't turn in my card. i am following the rules by reporting my mistake to both the td and hawk. i think yourrepresentation of me as someone who doesn't follow the rules isn't well thought out.

upon further consideration since my card was never turned in it wasn't actually late, so there is no 2 stroke penalty. rather it is a dnf. since hawk rather explicitly spells out it is "Head to head finishes in the same division during 2007." and i didn't technically finish, this weekend results in a no contest, but still a moral victtory on my part. especially since hawk has failed to clearly spell out specific terms of the bet in detail that now cost him his victory on a technicality he so deeply desires.

hawk, i await your response as to where in your original post you spell out what happens if one of us does not finish. too bad, better luck next time. ;)

Mar 04 2007, 11:23 PM
I'm confused. If the Doc went to the Doc after the round (and was in such a hurry he didn't turn in his card), than how did you guys go to Hooters afterwards? The public wants to know.

hawkgammon
Mar 04 2007, 11:37 PM
Clearly a DNF would be a loss. I don't think anyone in a sporting competition (admittedly disc golf only marginally qualifies) would say that an opponent who starts a competition, but doesn't finish it did anything other than lose. Therefore if you DNF for not submitting your scorecard that would clearly be a loss. Obviously you will skate by on the old "The TD has final say" out which again proves how bogus all of this is, and that the rulebook means nothing. Stab your opponent to take the lead? No problem if the TD is cool with it.

The other interesting point is while Nurse Naught claims to have been to delirious with his cold to remember to turn in this apparently tainted scorecard, he did manage to remember to go back to tourney HQ after we were all loaded up in the minivan of shame ready to roll out to claim his complimentary 1080 disc for "winning" his second round card. Hmmm...

Wasn't it about this time last season that Nurse Naught developed that toothache that kept him from competing in an event or two? Hmmm...

The other real question is what kind of chance do I possibly have to win in the Nomads Z Tour when he is the TD? Talking about pointless efforts!

To answer Bigs query, we rolled out of Loriella as soon as Nurse Naught staggered out of the woods with the "tie." Except for when he, as mentioned above, went back for his free disc. We hit a Spotsy Hooters which was packed and smoke filled, so we then went back to Maryland and the Hooters near his free clinic in Laurel. Back to the free clinic, and then I departed, and Nurse Naught and his moll went to get their dogs from the sitters. It was after the dog run that Nurse Naught went to Patient First for a baby aspirin. I think it was at this point that the "missing" scorecard was "discovered." A call was made, and collusion ensued.

Was there ever any doubt that this thread would be awash in controversy again?

Mar 05 2007, 02:00 AM
Ok, then, how about this:

Hawk is a better player than me.

and better at curling and ice skating.

And turning in scorecards within the time allotted by the rules.

hawkgammon
Mar 05 2007, 07:32 AM
The irony here being that I actually did turn in the scorecard for my group after round two even though I was third on the card to start the round. The card winner Mr. Shattuck had to go move some baskets back into casual round positions, and Mr. Henry the head of the card going into the round was disinterested in the score after his less than satisfying performance in the second round.

The major flaw in Nurse Naught's


If you DNF if not's a finish



theory is that whichever one of us is losing late in the second round can simply not complete the round to avoid the loss. We'll never get any results with that kind of thinking.

Not sure about Nurse Naught with regards to that since he's apparently willing to bail on anything other than a ten stroke lead with five holes to go.

well, it was a tie if i just turn in the stupid scorecards. and functioning on only one lung, i still managed to tie your disc golf goober during regulation play. unless he can consistently play like he did at seneca and calvert, both open courses i might add, he is doomed to failure again.

In a bet related matter, Hawk calls me nearly every day asking if i'm going to concede. I think deep down he is afraid that he can't win the bet the old fashioned way. Likely his inconsistency will doom him to another close loss this year just like last year.

Again you mistake my compassion for weakness. Like many great religious leaders through time I often am misperceived this way. I'm merely thinking about you. I'm 17-8-1 against you since January 2006. I don't see the point in continuing to drag you through this swamp of misery when you can just walk away instead of taking this constant pounding over the next couple of months. Due to your inability to make three events in a row, we could be looking at July before I put the final bullet in you with win #8.

Dick
Mar 22 2007, 10:26 AM
last year is last year. this year it is 4-2 with one of your "wins" being a tie that turned into a win with a post round penalty for forgetting to turn in the scorecard. otherwise we are still 3-2. i think you are dreaming if you think you can sweep me out from here on. it's more likely i will make a comeback starting this weekend en route to the overall win.

hawkgammon
Mar 22 2007, 11:14 AM
I look forward to your continued whining about how:


If I weren't an idiot I'd only be down one...



the rest of the bet. The reality is you are down 4-2, and your poor play coupled with your ability to find creative ways to sabotage yourself and innocent bystanders (disc collateral damage) makes it difficult to see you making a match of this. Good luck though. I'm sure the fans enjoy your blundering.

And by the way shouldn't you update your "pithy" editorial comment regarding your bet standing? The winter reference is two losses ago. Perhaps something like some of the fans suggested would be in order:

Hawk is a better player than me...

and better at turning his scorecard in.

and better at playing hurt and delirious.

and better at making excuses for his losses.

Etc.

i admit, hawk is killing me head to head over the last year, but this year it is 4-2 and we'll see how it goes from here. i should get blown out. he drives farther, me can midrange farther. he can putt better than me. he's in much better condition physically. if he doesn't win it will be an embarrassment to all his fans. and likely they will kick hiim out of his gym! :D

Mar 22 2007, 03:40 PM
Much like your claim that Seneca is wide open; this who drives further is open to debate. I remember going to the field behind a school one time and over many throws you seemed to be consistently further. You are certainly the better putter when we compare your best vs. my best. I'm the smarter player. I've been in better shape the whole time you've known me. If your body was a house it would have been condemned long ago.

actually it's only about 15 minutes to the hooters if you go the back way. and also we need to run up to dover to pick up my wife at her friends house in dover which is 5 minutes from the hooters. counting both ways, it's more like 30 minutes extra. and we get to test an entirely new hooters. not that it could possibly live up to towson. nothing beats a hooters in a college town!

Dateline 3-24-07

HANOVER PA:

On a day with many storylines, the big question was whether Hawk would take advantage of a recovering Dr. Evil and move one step closer to victory? Or would Dr. Evil give Hawk a little "Bad Medicine"?

Waking up to a steady rain, i commented to my wife that even with my illness, i felt ok, and i thought that hawk's limited rain skills would play into my hand. How prophetic this would be!
In the meeting before the round, the TD asked who wanted to play the muddy am tees and who would rather play the mostly better pro tees. I voted am, but only 4 of us did. Hawk got his wish as the long tees usually play into his distance advantage.
First round saw us paired on the same card with a local (Bill?). Jokingly I mentioned to bill how many times i had hit this branch which sticks out into the fairway of 10 from the long tee. Bill execuites a great turnover drive and then hawk slams right into the branch and plows 40 feet left into the brush. i rip a roller but it's a bit left and clips a tree halfway up the fairway and stops. i execute the up and down for the three while hawk valiantly gets up near the basket in 3 but misses the putt and takes the 5. i proceed to pile up a decent 5 or 6 stroke lead through the first 4-6 holes, but hawk starts closing and my low putting combined with an inexplicable ability to approach left me a stroke behind at the end of the first round. ouch! luckily the rain had stopped about 6 holes into the round and it wasn't raining as it ended.
during halftime i ate lunch to hawk's boasts about how i had never recovered for a win after being reeled in. i doubted the factual basis of this statement, especially considering "the druid incident", but allowed him to bask in his self-confidence.

round 1
hack - 64
evil - 65

to start the second round hawk again stumbled out of the gate 5-4 to my 3-3. i continued to pick up strokes, with a memorable doink and roll for a 6 to my 3 on one hole. as we arrived out at the open part of the course with me leading by 5 or 6 strokes, hawk came to the realization that strokes were going to be hard to make up on such open holes. he put up a valiant attempt at "doug flutieing" the rest of the way, but i played solidly and easily held him off for the 5 stroke victory! a little bad medicine for our DG loser i guess!

round 2
hack - 69
evil - 63

totals:
evil - 128
hack - 133

after the round i collected my gas money from my 2 nomad sidebets and proceeded to hooters with hawk after picking up my wife at her friends house. after much consideration our consenus was 3 on the question of how many hot waitresses there were in the YORK HOOTERS.

current standings:
Hawk - 4
Evil - 3

amusing anecdote #1

Rich after BIll misses a putt and we realize it isn't his normal putt'r but some weirdly dyed disc. i look briefly at the stamp and remark:

"Is that a unicorn?" :D

Rain=bad.

Coming out flat=bad.

Yipping putts from 15' and out=bad.

I entered this event anticipating a weakened adversary and thought I could stroll around the courses for 36 holes and mail it in. As noted things started off badly with me hitting trees and kicking way off course early and often. I attribute this to the reasons above, but also to deviating from my successful formula this season of (if there's a tree within 200' of the tee throw a Roc!) playing smart. I managed to reel Nurse Naught in after a debacle beginning and at lunchtime felt confident.


Okay he's playing better than expected, and showing no signs of after effects of his illness, but I came back and he's never caught me after losing the first round.



Unfortunately the second round starts much like the first and when my acknowledged correct putt strategy on the elevated #2 blue basket blew up and rolled OB for a brutal three stroke swing on one hole what has now become known as The Druid Syndrome set in. The Druid Syndrome is the ability to reel the big fish in once, but if he gets back off the deck before you gaff him, he can't be reeled in a second time. I made one last move on the wooded part of the course, but as we moved onto the red course to play the less dangerous (OB wise) back nine I stood on the tee to #17 waiting for an adjoining hole to putt out and swept my gaze across the essentially wide open fields below that were coming up and thought:


Sure I can out drive him 20'-40' on these, but he'll just up and in for threes. How many of these can I park and deuce considering all my putts are going left, and I need to be about 2' away to convert?



The drive on #17 went about 50' of the tee low and into the ground. The subsequent 250'+ Roc shot landed 2' away, but it's a meaningless three. I did start to outdrive Nurse Naught badly as he claims I can, but not well enough to gain any ground.

Time to get back to business.

Amusing anecdote #2:

On the short (197') uphill 6x Bill whips out an Orc! and hauls away. He ends up out compared to Nurse Naught and myself. He misses the deuce putt, and stomps over to the 20' comeback. I mumble to Rich,


He can miss this...



and he does. A four on that hole leaves one with a very dirty feeling.

Amusing Anecdote #3:

Nurse Naught lays down a roller (he did this more than usual today in the first round) on 16 blue and as the disc lands it hits a root, and shoots straight up about 10' in the air, lands and starts to curl left and back towards the tee.

Would calling an unplayable lie perhaps have been a good move ?

I'd have had to make the same scary putt again where running at it from OB was a safer two. Besides I'm not as much of a dirtbag as Paul/Nurse Naught with regards to what is "unplayable." Nurse Naught did suggest that immediately though.

Dick
Mar 25 2007, 06:45 PM
since his disc had rolled out of bounds anyway, there woudl be no need for an unplayable lie. when your disc goes ob you can always rethrow from the previous lie after takign your penalty stroke, just like unplayable lie.

personally i don't think using unplayable lie makes you a dirtbag, it is basically stroke and distance form ball golf. you take a penalty stroke and replay from the previous lie. calling it unplayable is probably a bad idea, though that is one situation where it could be used....

Hawk, on the positive side you did manage to beat intermediate grandmaster Jeff Turley who had to play up to our division, so you weren't DFL. ;)

I own Jeff Turley!

I'm be coming out with a renewed vengence on the 14th. I took this last event too lightly.

Besides that's three weeks away. You'll have some new medical malady by then resulting in you having to play with an eye patch, or one of those open toed inflatable foot casts or something.

Amusing Anecdote #4

After i point out a foot fault on the IDGC, but fail to get a second because our other group member is off in his own world, Hawk calls a foot fault on me on the next hole:
HC: Foot Fault!
Evil: i second, you're right(of course my shot also sucked)
HC: actually i was just kidding..
Evil: I wasn't, you called it and i seconded it per the rules.
HC: Rules? This is a Z tier, there are no rules!
Evil: actually there are doofus, what do you think we are doing out here?
HC: uh, well, I was just pointing it out, not making a call.
Evil: Whatever, next time if you make a call and it is seconded I'm throwing again.
HC: but i wasn't making a call....and this is a z tier....
Evil: ...... :p

Amusing Anecdote #5

At the hooters after the round there were these weird local guys dressed like some loser english band in the 90's. I'm sure they thought they were cool. one guy even was wearing a blazer with his jeans and had his glasses on the back of his head. Anyway, thinking it would be funny I tell the waitress that i think that is Oasis over at that other table and she should ask for an autograph.
Waitress: Who?
Hawk: A third rate english band.
Waitress: who?
Hawk: Green Day
Waitress: oh, i know who they are!
Hawk: .... :p

Evil: ...... :p



Actually it went something like this...
I'm jammed up against some tree/brush action on my left after my second "shot" about 100' out. I make a fantastic third shot to land 3' from the pin. Upon witnessing this greatness the following ensues:

NN: Dude you totally foot faulted on that.
YDGH: ?
NN: Your foot landed a good six inches to the right.
YDGH: Really now?
NN: Totally. [starts calling to our third Bill who is already 50' up the fairway] Bill you saw that right?
B: No I'm over here pondering my own misery and sporting fate.
YDGH: Looks like you're out of luck loser.
NN: [continues to mutter to Bill as he slumps up the fairway behind him]

Next hole:
Scene: The infamous roller that lands on somethings and shoots 10'+ in the air then rolls left and back. NN, shockingly, is out and stumbles up and let's loose with his "power" grip resulting in his plant foot landing left and forward of his disc. The resulting shot is less than desirable.

YDGH: You missed the mark there Cowboy.
NN: I second that. I'm rethrowing.
YDGH: No you're not.
NN: Why not?
YDGH: I'm not calling it.
[Bill is again ahead of us and oblivious to this interplay]
NN: You just did. You can't call it and retract it!
YDGH: I didn't call it, I merely pointed it out. Subtle difference.
NN: That's #$*&amp;$!. You can't call it and retract it.
YDGH: I didn't and besides why not?
NN: It's the rules.
YDGH: What rules?
NN: The PDGA rules.
YDGH: [smirking openly] Like that matters...here? It's a z-tier. Players are using hubcaps as minis.
NN: The TD said all PDGA rules apply.
YDGH: He said that when.
NN: ummm...at the players meeting?
YDGH: Really, now?
NN: Well I'm rethrowing the next time you call that.
YDGH: You're announcing your intentions to foot fault repeatedly the rest of the round?

Amusing Anecdote #6:

With about five holes to go I'm totally out of it. I've just gone OB on a Doug Flutie approach.

YDGH: Okay I'm out of here.
NN: What do you mean?
YDGH: I'm going to DNF as you suggested you did at Loriella so this doesn't count.
NN: Oh no we agreed that can't be done.
YDGH: I don't think we agreed so much as you got shamed after receiving great heckling from the masses.
NN: Yeah whatever.

Amusing Anecdote #7:

The aforementioned Mr. Turley has lost his keys prior to the start of the second round. The three of us have conducted a grid like search of his recent wanderings to no avail. We tee off and continue to search as we mosey down the fairway.

NN: [standing in some light rough] Hey Jeff I've got them right here.
JT: Thank you bro. Whew that's a huge relief.
[NN still standing stoically next to the found keys]
YDGH: You could pick them up #$*&$! it's not a disc in play.
NN: Uhhhhh....

Dick
Mar 26 2007, 05:07 PM
actually i wasn't right next to them. they were 15-20 feet away in the thicket. which i didn't want to walk into after picking a tick off my head at the break.

oh yeah and you forgot the part where i mentioned that if you had any integrity you would second the call on yourself for that blatant foot fault. :eek:

Amusing Anecdote #8:

We're sitting in the NN mobile eating lunch. He's just returned with soup that he somehow managed to procure out of nowhere in the middle of a state park. How does he always find food? We're chatting and I glance over and a good sized tick is clambering across his bald sweaty head.

H: There's a tick clambering across your bald sweaty head.
NN: [laughs] Yeah right.
H: No seriously.
NN: Well get it.
H: I'm eating here, I'm not touching your bald sweaty head.
NN: [grunts and positions himself in the rearview mirror and removes the tick] This is good soup.

I plucked another one off his shoulder after the round, and he reported discovering a third after his post tourney shower. I'm the chick magnet, and he's apparently the tick magnet.

With regards to his ongoing fixation with this alleged foot fault, I never noticed where my foot was post throw as I was watching my follow thru on a flawlessly executed shot.

<font color="red"> Your Disc Golf Hero </font> defeats <font color="green"> 2% </font> to Win 2007 Battle.

By Bob Crane
Saturday, November 17th, 2007

On a cool sunny fall day one athlete and one bloated addict came to rural Virginia in the culmination of a two year battle. HawkGammon was leading this years rematch 8-6 over his "rival" Ocean Master with just one more match needed to be played to reach the agreed upon 15 minimum. Dr. Load had suggested The Grange (http://www.grangediscgolf.com/) as a suitable location as he had never lost to Gammon there in two previous matches. Gammon graciously agreed knowing that the match was pointless, victory was already in hand, and this would be merely a victory lap for his legion of fans. Talk drifted among the attendess over whether Gammon would even compete, or merely walk the course with a putter. Asked before the match his intentions Gammon replied:


The people are here for a show. As an entertainer I'm obligated to give them what they came for...a bloodbath.



Round one was played on the Sunnyside with Gammon playing in the group behind The Load. The Load struggled mightily as he hacked his way through the course collecting a smattering of fives, sixes and sevens. Meanwhile the International Disc Golf Celebrity cruised along gathering deuces like some singers (http://www.jasondunn.com/archive/tomjones/amazing.gif) collect womens underwear. Scores after the first round were:

<font color="red"> YDGH: </font>54 :D
<font color="green"> 2%: </font>68 :o

After easing out to comfortable first round lead Gammon was heard laughing maniacally at halftime like an Association bored member discussing membership dues. Tied for second place among all players regardless of "division" Gammon spent halftime eating lunch, playing Tiki, and text messaging his massage therapist (http://images.buycostumes.com/mgen/merchandiser/19189.jpg) to arrange a late night session.

Round two on the Darkside was a little tougher for Gammon who stumbled in with a less than stellar effort, but a lack of motivation could certainly have been a factor. Naturally his "opponent" tried to Doug Flutie his way back in to the match in a desperate attempt at some degree of face saving. Unfortunately that was for naught. Scores after round two were:

<font color="red"> YDGH: </font> 70 (124) ;)
<font color="green"> 2%: </font> 74 (142) :mad:

This left Gammon leading 9-6 in the "competition" and the bald and gameless Myers with no chance of victory. After the match Gammon was asked what his record of 21-12-1 over the past two years said about the man known as Dr. Evil. Gammon replied:


Who?

Way to Hawk. Still a fan and not surprised you prevailed in my home state. How's Dr. Evil's ticker doing these days? Low-calorie Fig Newtons on the menu for him these days? I still remember him limping around Loriella this past March during and after the rounds, but strangely had enough energy to sprint towards the ice cream truck when it arrived.
