Riverside Park, Victoria, Tx
February 17-18? That's what the LSDGA schedule says, but it also says no series info and it's not yet on the PDGA tour schedule. That's only six weeks away. Anyone know anything?

I know......you, me and Charlie are going :D

I know that the vic open is on and the players just need to worry about getting there. The T.D, club and a few REAL good t.d. ast. will make this the biggest vic open ever :D

It is always a great tourney.....even if the weather is miserable :)

Looking forward to this one, great course even greater people :D

It is always a great tourney.....even if the weather is miserable :)


The weather was awesome last year. :D

I was just lucky that every single piece of clothing I brought with me was able to be worn at the same time in layers. I certainly didn't plan it that way, but it worked out. :cool:

Tried that trick too......couldn't bend my arms to putt :eek: :p :D

Oh, you know that was a special Texas Blast of Fun for you California folks!

Who do I talk to about sponsoring a few CTP's?

Rhett, that was unusual weather for the Vic Open, as I'm sure you've heard. Normally, the weather is pretty nice for this one, though I remember back in '98 an evil wind blew in. One of those where your putt might end up behind you.

A couple of year's ago the course had to be redesigned Sunday morning because the river got bored with following the same old path......

We lost 4 holes due to that (8, 9, 10 and 16).

Some of the tent-campers had some waterfront property when they woke up that morning.

I remember watching the Guadalupe keep rising all day Saturday. Awesome and scary.

Tony...you running the day care service for Vic...we could work on zoo passes for your class :D

so is it official Feb. 18,19 Victoria Open?

What are the dates? and where?

Thread drift!

As always I hope we have a good ladies turnout! I invite some of the Live Oak gals to venture down Victoria way.

Sure there will be lots of goodies for the ladies attending. :)

That's my B Day. :D:D

Sounds like an excuse for a celebration! Camping this year?

Kool! A Matt-bird had indicated that she'd be at TWC with her Mom, but we'd love to see here again in Victoria. I know I'm ready for a rematch! :D

Just think'n warm thoughts for February!
Hopefully this upcoming frosty weather will be out of the way by then.

According to the weatherman the tournament should be this weekend....freezing temps w/wet stuff :D

Harry,

Are the old guys going to make this one? Got an extra walker I can lend out. :D

I know I'll be there...and no I don't need a walker :p

This year, pack your weather.

This year, pack your weather.


Since scoot_er brought rain out here, I guess I should try to bring "sunny and high 70s" out there.

Sounds like a deal to me :cool:

Wassup with MM1/MG1 being $54 and MPG being only $50?

Since when have Ams started paying more than corresponding Pro divisions? Maybe it already includes Ace Pot?

Typo maybe...I usually don't pay attention to other div. entry fees but that does seem odd...

ace pot is not included.
mm1 will have a good field...they always do....lowering the mpg fee may get some of the mm1 to cross over.
the lower fee is to try to get more than the 4 regulars mpgs :D
$75 for fpo?...I have a question for you is FPO a open player?
The days of treating OPEN PLAYERS diffenent cause of their gender are coming to an end.I can understand the lower skilled level...but you step up to the open filds....be prepared to be treated equal :D

And so all know I am the one that set the fees.......

The fee difference didn't make my decision to step up...it just made me happy!

Li'l Crusher will be trying to defend her FW1 title. :p

What kind of rationale is this?

mm1 will have a good field...they always do....lowering the mpg fee may get some of the mm1 to cross over.
the lower fee is to try to get more than the 4 regulars mpgs



What does MPG/MG1 entry fee discrepancies have to do with getting MM1 to "cross over?" I can understand getting MG1s to step up to MPG, but doesn't seem to have any correlation to MM1.

I can even understand making MPG and MG1 the same entry fee, but having the Am side entry fees higher than the corresponding Pro entry fee?

Since you're taking credit for this entry fee structure V-man, why is that some divisions include the PDGA sanctioning fee (hence $54 versus $50) and other don't? Is this being sanctioned as A-tier? Geez...weird entry fee structure...hard to believe that it came from the "Think Tank" of Round Rock! :D

OH I see a donkey comment coming :D

thanks harry...you took the words right out my month.
Some mm1 are of age to play mg1 or mpg.not many mg1's out there so they stay mmn...a lowere entry may make your field bigger.

I dunno about feeling bigger...but a lower and equitable entry fee structure would make me feel better V-man.

1. What level is this being sanctioned at? A-tier?
2. Why are some fees setup on a $4 basis and others have none?
3. Why is ANY Amateur division paying more than a corresponding Pro division?

It seems like this fee structure for MG1 is setup to punish players for being Ams! I don't think I can ever recall seeing an Am division paying a higher price than a Pro division period...much less corresponding divisions. I can understand doing that in the Women's divisions sometimes when you are trying to encourage more women to just come out.

Fix it Vinnie. It ain't right and you know it.

Hey Larry,

If you don't like it, don't play. This event will fill without you.

And tell Megan to bring it on! :D

Hey Susan - I know what my options are. I don't think my complaint here involves you at all. If you don't have a relevant point to make, then please close your donkey.

Whatever Larry. Given I post out here, just like everyone else, I too am entitled to an opinion. My point would be, either pay or don't, it is as easy as that. :p

And DONKEY back to you old man. :D :eek: :D

So, you gunna come play anyway?

Larry just step up and play MPG :) From what I have seen posted here so far you just have to beat me to win :eek: :p
Or is ya skeered :D

1. b tier
2. where due you see a $ 4 fee or any fee break down?
3. I have anwsered
You all worry about becoming a N.T. again. And I will worry about making Texas Golf bigger ;)

Does anyone have an extra crying towel for Mr. Kruse? :D

Larry, have you ever played Victoria? If so, you wouldn't complain about a few dollars, as this event is worth the money.

yah leave Larry alone....he is alright.....he asked a valid question....cause he doesn't agree doesn't make him a bad person.Cause he doesn't agree with me makes n=him a bad person /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Hey Vinnie dont look back cuz your donkey is showing :o:D

chain have you seen how long my middle finger is?
;)

No take it out of your donkey and lets find out :o:D

Vinnie -

MPO/FPO - $75 <-- a multiple of $5
MPM - $60 <-- a multiple of $5 or $10
MPG - $50 <-- a multiple of $5 or $10

MA1 - $59 <-- oddball number looks like $4 PDGA was added to a $55 entry fee.
MM1/MG1/FW1 - $54 <-- oddball number again...$4 added to a $50 entry fee.
MA2 on down are all evenly divisible by $5 or $10.

Usually the only time a TD adds oddball amounts like that is to cover sanctioning fees. So if this is a B-tier, with a $54 entry fee, that means that you're dumping $51 into the payout pool for those divisions? Just seems like an oddball amount which is why I'm questioning the entire entry fee scheme...it doesn't look right to me, especially when I notice that the Amateur Grand Master entry fees are $4 more than the Pro Grand Master entry fees.

I'm gonna have to do a little research tonight when I get home and see if I can scare up ANY other tournament where the Pro entry fees were lower than their corresponding Am entry fees.

Has anyone else every seen this before? (Aside from Women's divisions...but I'm not even sure about that!)

it also appears that while trying to make the MPG at $50 more appealing you will have AMS that will decline the $$$ to keep am Status and that does not seem too fair..

why isn't MM1 more than MPM we need those guys to step first before making the really old guys step up...._PLEASE make MM1 $64 so MPM at $60 looks like a good deal. thanks

LoL!!!


...._PLEASE make MM1 $64 so MPM at $60 looks like a good deal.



Yep...I think we ought to do that for MA1 too...it would only boost the MPO ranks!

Thought we needed a new temporary Subject line change too! :D

because it is an odd number added to entry fee...doesn't mean the pdga fee is the reason why.
Maybe it has something to do with the rounding off of cost in payout plastic to the player, making it easier to do payout for winners of the odd numbered fees. But then I maybe looking to deep into running events.

ROFLMAO! Obviously not deep enough V-man! It would really be something if you could calculate payout based only on the oddball entry fee numbers and before you even know how many are playing in the division.

I haven't made an exhaustive search, but of the 10 tournaments posting info currently under the PDGA Tournaments area, I have yet to find even one that has an Am entry fee higher than ANY Pro entry fee...even comparing Adv against MPG.

Based on your reasoning above...I can almost see the next Outlaws tournament flyer:

MPO - $76.29
MPM - $71.66
MPG - $36.99
MG1 - $102.50
FW1 - .02

Hey Larry,

If you don't like it, don't play. This event will fill without you.

And tell Megan to bring it on! :D



You better hope she doesn't shoot as good as she was when I was in Cali. She was shooting like 870.

Larry just step up and play MPG :) From what I have seen posted here so far you just have to beat me to win :eek: :p
Or is ya skeered :D


At that point, I might just come on down for this one.
Do you think we can get Chinger to play MPG or will he
remain a bagger for life?:D

I did some siffered posibile turn outs. but thanks for pointing out yet another first by the me. you searched and found nothing like this...I could of safed you some time and told you that ;)
Looks like it maybe working the MPG looks to be growing :confused:

There several that need to step up :eek: :p

There several that need to step up

in all divisions not just the old man division :o

Nope...I'm not stepping up to play MPG.

I stepped up back in October and played MPM. By some fluke I won it and had to decline the cash (that was painful too!)

I'm going to wait and see what the TD has to say on the subject.

declined?

There several that need to step up :eek: :p


Now, for real I'm still a wreck. :o
I just want Harry to get more money. :cool:

I can vouch for him on being a true wRECk :o:D

Yep...I turned down the cash (I didn't know the terms of the amnesty plan and didn't want to risk having to play Pro from now on...) Oddly enough, my declined cash didn't push down to the 2nd place player...but that's another story.

Now if I knew that all MPG entry fees would be lower than their MG1 counterparts the rest of this season I'd give it consideration...

I'm just gonna keep complaining about it until the TD gets it fixed. I'm sure I'll get to bend his ear tomorrow morning about it. :D

I won't decline cash....but that is surely not to be even a remote issue as my rating will show....I stepped up at Waterloo in hopes of embaressing a few others with ratings well above mine to do the same and had so much fun with the pros that I intend to stay with them when I can :cool:

I can vouch for him on being a true wRECk :o:D


That would be "Mr. Official" wRECk to you, David. /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

I hope to be an "Official Marshal" wRECk soon. :o

you go ahead and bend his ear.....lets see how that goes.

I'm just gonna keep complaining about it until the TD gets it fixed. I'm sure I'll get to bend his ear tomorrow morning about it. :D


Vinnie had his donkey fixed years ago. :D

things are changing for you ol folks

you go ahead and bend his ear.....lets see how that goes.



I just did...and I think you should expect a phone call later on.

So what the heck are you doing setting entry fees (and obviously doing a crappy job of it at that) for a tournament that you aren't even running V-man?

Rick knows that he messed that up...he says that you are telling him not to fix it. Why is that? Sounds like you could've had something to do with shaping our current Iraq policy too...did you do some consulting work with GW?

things are changing for you ol folks



or should you have changed the words around to say : you ol folks things need changing :o:D

MPO $75
FPO $75
MPM $60
MPG $50

MA1 $59
MA2 $40
MA3 $35
MM1/MG1 $54 has changed to $44
FW1 $54
FW2 $35
FW3 $30




So what the heck are you doing setting entry fees (and obviously doing a crappy job of it at that) for a tournament that you aren't even running V-man?



I got more to do with this tournament than you will ever know. I have had length conversations with the past T.D., the club and the new T.D. insuring a tradition carries on. Unlike many players that just play golf, I want to make every Texas event the best it can be. The Vic open is a long running event and I want to make sure our new T.D. does the right thing. Now for that crappy comment. I have done more with disc golf and played more events than you will ever do....unless you would like to make this a personal issue...I would retract that statement....you're messing with an old wood tick that thinks simple assault is way to settle a disagreement. :)I like you....lets not let that change.
I set the entry fees and he posted them wrong.

he says that you are telling him not to fix it. Why is that?

Because a T.D. should stick to his decisions. Being flexible is ok....but being inconsistent can be a bad thing. It would have made no difference if the entry fee was not changed, except for the inconsistent.
AS far as IRAQ.......GW messed that up. If I had something to do with that, America would have been re-designing the flag to reflect 51 states

You should of seen what the enry fees were going to be....about $20 more for each division

None of this changes my decision or opinion! I'll still donate my money to the MPG cause...cause that's just me :D

Maybe you should pay more for playing AM...you want to play for discs,DG bags,baskets, get players packs (all of which cost money) AND clog up the course with slow play, while I play for my buddies money most of the time and get nothing for signing up and wait on you on tee~boxes during rounds... :D:p J/K...this event will be a good once again no matter who is running it or what they charge. The course sells itself!! I hope to be there this year to play the mighty Vic~O!!

And what was thinking for making the MA1 fees closer to MPO fees than MA2 fees?

And what was thinking for making the MA1 fees closer to MPO fees than MA2 fees?



The short answer is: Vinnie

Geez! The squeaky wheel technique finally worked...

Of course no explanation about why $44 versus $40 or $45 in MG1 or why $59 for MA1 instead $55 or $60. Vinnie's answer doesn't make any sense...it just means that the poor guy taking cash at the registration desk is gonna have to bring a pile of $1 bills! LoL!!! Yeah that makes it a lot easier! :D

I and Riverside Disc Golf Club spoke at length with Rick about fees and what they should be. Before making any final decisions, I told Rick that Vinnie had been a regular Open player at the tournament . So, he was consulted on possible changes to the fees for the tourney. We are new to this thing & Rick is helping us out a lot this year by TDing the tournament and I appreciate Vinnie and anyone else who has given any advise for the betterment of this event.Hopefully this thread won't be an argument about fees because the club has been working diligently for months to make this event the best Victoria has ever had and we want the players to be satisfied with their experience from start to finish & I know you all will. :D

Quick question and I tried to find the answer but couldn't.

Doesn't the PDGA have guidelines for entry fees?

This looks more like an A-Tier then a B-Tier and if this is the way the Texas golf scene is to look in the future then you will see less and less AMs playing total, and that in turn will not cause growth in this sport, rather a decline.

Everybody wants the AM to move up, but if you look back you see that the regular PRO cannot make it on tour as a living. Take a look at the USTA and the PGA and answer me these two questions...What is the largest population in these sports, the AM or the PRO? And do these two sports FORCE the AM to move up?

By the way, I also have this question...

And so all know I am the one that set the fees



If you are not the TD, then why are you so involved?

Seems like there's only one person making an issue, and we all know that there are MANY people that work hard, behind the scene, faceless driving forces that just want to see this event continue to be a Texas favorite.

Once again, Larry you just seem to want to stir the pot and make sure that we all know that you are turning fifty this year. Now, do you feel special? Have you brought the right kind of attention to this thread? Maybe you should have addressed this privately with the TD before airing out your concerns here. But, hey, then you wouldn't have been LLK, right?

Thank God it's Friday! See ya'll in a few weeks!

Just show up and play! & have fun

Or stay home and keep crying :D

If you are not the TD, then why are you so involved?


Cause I care....ALL Players should get involved.
If someone has to ask then....then all they care about is showing up.
I wonder what the the Larrys and the Pauls of the word are going to contribute to the next event they play..............besides there entry fee
What can San Antonio PROviding?
What is Houston PROviding?
I know that Round Rock is doing something and I ain't talking about some disc.

A few more Vinnies and we could take over the world :)

Seriously, Vinnie you do a great job for the sport and it is appreciated!

Just show up and play! & have fun

Or stay home and keep crying :D



Thats the best answer yet :DVictoria is well worth whatever price it cost :D

Ditto on that Harry!

know that Round Rock is doing something and I ain't talking about some disc

and I am sure we will bring some discs as well to donate to the CTP's or whatever the club wants to use them for. :p

Of course we will bring some ctps, things for the players packages and any logistically help we can PROvide.
Ware you playin ol man at Vic?

That's "Wannabe Old Man Division" you young Whipper-Snapper :eek: :D

Yeah...I guess you got me there V-man...I never do anything for this sport...

It should be known that HFDS is stepping up to the plate again this year and laying down sponsorship cash to this event...the same as we have done for the past 4-5 years running...probably longer. I've always pushed for sponsorship of this tournament but so many Houston players go to this one, that it isn't even a push any more...we just ask for a show of hands of anyone that DOESN'T want to sponsor it...and of course there are never any hands or objections for this event. :D

I've played in the Vic Open twice in the past...the last one was the Great Flood of 2005 I think!

I don't care very much about what the entry fee gets set at, what I object strongly too is the inequity of pricing the Am division higher than the corresponding Pro division. Now that it has been fixed my major complaint is gone. However the entry fee structure still looks haphazard due to the $4 increments placed somewhat randomly.

Thanks go out to Rick for fixing an honest mistake rather than trying to justify it with some convoluted logic just to save face!!!

See ya in Victoria.

Ware you playin ol man at Vic?

not sure yet but most likely its a pretty laid back and FUN division ;)

ok just to clear a few things up -- i added the MM1 & MG1 divisions to the price sheet after i spoke with vinnie about everything & early early in the morning -- vinnie didnt tell me not to change the prices -- vinnie said a TD needs to be careful about going back and forth on things -- as far as prices go -- i wanted them to be MPO $90, MA1 $60, MA2 $50, and MA3 $40 with $10 off for all women divisions & trophy only divisions for the Open Fields -- which by the rhett yes there are trophy only for open this year -- the price is 1/2 the regular open entry fee -- why are this events prices higher then the guidelines set by the PDGA -- well for one they are guidelines -- with the flexibility of being more or less -- things such as Camping (only being available this one time a year) allow us to add a higher value to this tournaments entry fees (then i go get a hotel to give us a great deal as well) there is a lot of planning that goes into this & The Guys down in Victoria and myself are trying to do lots of things to make this a great event for everyone involved & much thanks to vinnie for helping me out when I have asked.

Rick I'm sure when it is all said and done everything will work out. I will playing MPG but if you need any assistance from experienced staff between rounds just let me know how I can help.

Ware you playin ol man at Vic?

not sure yet but most likely its a pretty laid back and FUN division ;)



Must be cause they are all on Prozac or Viagra :D

maybe prozac but not the V :D

Sweet news on the trophy-only options for Open Pro divisions! :)

Get off the computer and go play golf!!!! :cool:

This is a planning day for EIEIO. :(

ok yesterday at tom bass - the guys from riverside disc golf wanted me to let everyone know they are giving a room away for the raffle -- so to make this work -- i will be selling raffle tickets for the hotel stay in victoria i will check & find out if it is for one or two nights but i will be carrying raffle tickets around - so if you want to buy one (or 20) just come see me -- YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE PRESENT TO WIN - i will do my drawing for this one at Macgregor -- plenty of time for people to find me --

Uh-oh...is anyone else thinking what I'm thinking about this?

Matt - I think most all of us know the answer to THAT question before it gets asked! LoL! You go spend some time where you need to...there will probably be a poker game at the next tourney! :D Or I'll deal us some heads up!

Matt can do whatever he wants .. if he wants to play poker instead of hanging out with me then thats his choice

AHH :o:o:o:o:o:o

Careful, it's a trap.....

lmao.....

"yes there are trophy only for open this year -- the price is 1/2 the regular open entry fee -- "


Rounded up to $38.

I'm registered.

I will keep bugging Rick to post up a reg. list when he gets one, but as of Saturday night, he still hadn't received any entries from TitleDisc or via snail-mail.

Get those entries in folks...you know how quickly this thing fills.

Rick's got the reg. list posted up...all four of us!

Send them in...let's get this thing rolling! :D

Ware is playing Open????? Oh well I guess he dosn't want to play with Chile. :DI'll be signing up tonight most likely.

that is a mistake unless open is $60 because that is what I sent my check for :D:p

I'll be signing up this weekend /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif How many really old guys will there be?

So far...It's you and me - Harry! Where is Bert?

I saw Richard Lewis on the list as well.

is there going to be an Ace Pot?

If anyone wants to pre-register take your entry fee from above -- add +$5 for Ace Pot if you want it -- add +$5 for NON PDGA

will there be basket?>
how about tee signs?>
when do we tee?>
You know what I would really like to know"will trout fishing ever happen again. that was so much fun."

Sorry check is in the mail, I'll just have to pay for my ace pot money on friday when we check in.Ware have you made our reservations? :)

i thought you were making the reservations ? who is all staying with us as Ricky W wants to go as well..

Pete,Joe,Ricky,You, and myself.= 5. Should we get 2 rooms?

if you get 2 rooms let me know and I will pitch in

Ah yes, Trout fishing in the Victoria Pool, that brings back memories. I even remember Vinnie being really into it :D

will there be a players list? just curious.

Nevermind (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=6493)

So, Vinnie = 6 of us and 2 rooms.

Quality Inn (TX809)
3112 Houston Highway , Victoria, TX, US, 77901
Phone: (361) 578-2030

So Ware you make the reservations?


bump

Room 1=Pete,Joe and myself. Room 2= Ware,Ricky and Vinnie.

Room 1=Pete,Joe and myself. Room 2= Ware,Ricky and Vinnie.



That sounds a lot like segregation if you ask me.:D

No, Jerry just wants to be in Pete's room. :p

no i am not making the reservations so who is driving? and there is a no girl friend rule for my room

no i am not making the reservations so who is driving? and there is a no girl friend rule for my room



So that mean Pete can't o Jerry.

Folks - just spoke with Bannister during my lunch hour...

The host hotel is with LaQuinta and NOT Quality Inn.

The deal is supposed to be: $49/night if you mention the Flyin High Victoria Open Disc Golf tournament. $49 sounds like a pretty good deal.

Does anyone have a phone number for them?

Thanks. Now all we need is a phone number.

How funny, I called and got a reservation right after Rick posted the info and they acted like they knew about it and the rate was good.

Rick, Rick, Rick.

Then why did the Quality Inn accept my reservation for $49 a night and have the Victoria Open Disc Golf Tournamnent listed as a group rate when they looked it up??? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Phone: (361) 578-2030 I just called this # and got a room for $49 a night doble beds and it is quality inn. rick needs to quit smoking during lunch

Just got off the phone with Rick and Rhett, I think we got the right hotel. Bannister is just dazed and confused.

I am calling to confirm with hotel. I will be back to confirm the hotel in a few.

He IS working on a deal for all of his other events with LQ.

Here we go:

LaQuinta: 361-572-3585
Victoria Open Rate: $49

Confirmed and I'm reserved...go get 'em folks. Beware...they aren't very good about answering the telephone there...you might have to try back a couple of times before you actually get their reservations folks on the line.

just confirmned with hotel and it is the quality inn and we should all stay there since they are giving us the same rate.

screw la quinta stay at the quality inn

Okay, Rick asked me to call and confirm the hotel, and I just talked to The Quality Inn and they are the host hotel.

They have the rate, GOOD BREAKFAST and such from what Rick said. They have 50 rooms blocked off for us.

so ching will be staying at the la quinta by himself :D

Larry, you might want change your reservation if you are interested in Poker.

:D:o:D

and so everyone knows now the poker will NOT be in my room

LoL...Good deal then if we've got BOTH hotels in Victoria givin up special rates for us!

I'm gonna have to chew on Bannister tonight...I called him up and specifically asked him if it was Quality Inn or LaQuinta and he was all over the LaQuinta gig as he's trying to nab them for sponsorship for all of the LSS events. He even asked me to post that info out here today for him too!

I think SeeWhere is right...something about those lunch breaks. :D

They have 50 rooms blocked off for us.


Yeah, when I made my reservation at the Quality Inn they said there was a block reserved and gave me one of those.

Ching is the only one saying LQ. Is the deal really set up with both hotels??? LQ was last year and the tourney rate was like $69. I pricelined it for $44 before the hotel deal was announced and lucked out that my hotel happened to be the tourney hotel. :)

Just made reservations at Quality Inn for 49.00.

I just got off the phone with LaQuinta here in Victoria, also. I spoke with the girl there and she said they would honor a $49 a night rate for Victoria Open entrants, if you'd rather stay there. Take your pick. LQ is across from the mall on the north side of town. http://www.google.com/maps?hl=en&output=html&f=l&q=la+quinta&near=Victoria%2C+TX&btnG=Search+Businesses

Not that Victoria is a sprawling metroplex, but it is long and skinny and it is a bit of a drive from the North side of town as I recall.

Figure Quality Inn answers their phone and was the original hotel. Liz, Rick said he deserves thirty lashes with a wet noodle for giving you the wrong information, are you going to volunteer? LOL

His bad and he apologizes.

LQ ripped everyone off last year with the $69, if you got it for 44. So everyone should go with the Tournement hotel "Quality Inn". La Quinta is spanish for ben dover :p

Poker is your room Chris? ;) :D

Is it too early for a good weather report?

ching at L.Q. by himself sounds like a good thing ;)

Am I in a room or what?
and someone at Victoria better get me some artwork....A.S.A.P.

Am I in a room or what

we can talk tomorrow during powling and food

It is supposed to be done and availabe today from what Kevin told me. Wallace?

ok sorry about confusion on that one folks -- i did make a bit of a mistake on the phone today larry -- again i was at the other house & didnt have access to anything -- so i am blaming it on ching for not reading the **** board & making me answer a question before noon today -- LOL -- and to top things off -- for poker night, i have reserved the banquet hall ( at the holiday inn in port lavaca) HA! --

Hey!!! That's more like it! I see 17 on the reg. list now! :D

i am still in the wrong division :confused:

Forget it Chris, they ain't gonna let you play Rec :D

you better hope not for your sake or you will be taking another loss. :D

You're gonna have to age some to be on a card with me :p I'll be signing up MPG this weekend for Victoria :eek:

Harry and crew have hired an EMS team to escort the old guys round the course, too. ;) :p ;) LOL

:D

Sue, if we are the card behind you...........DUCK :D

you better watch out for Ricky Wright than ...

Suemac isnt that like the pot calling the kettle black :o:D

Nope, I'm like a "peri-grandmaster", not quite gray enough yet! But if you all got some extra Oxygen, I'll take a shot!

Ricky Wright playing Pro Grand Master?
