Possible course record for Randolph if he finishes strong?

Go Mike Go!

Current record for this course is 60 by Baca since almost a half dozen holes are different.

theres a new record every single year b/c the course is different every single year.

However, I think no one will argue that the best round ever on this course was the 56 KC shot in 2004.

Didn't Hammock shoot a 56 at some point?

Here are the four highest rated rounds on Winthrop Gold which are the 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th best all-time for courses in this SSA range (66+). KC has the second best on Vista Del Camino at the 2006 Memorial with another 1078. It will probably take a 56 to top 1080 on this layout but we'll have to see how the SSA comes in.

<table> <tr> <td>Climo</td><td>Ken</td><td>1078</td><td>69.9</td><td>10/14/2004</td><td>56</td><td>Winthrop Univ. Rec. Area 2004 USDGC R1 (2004 United States Disc Golf Championship) </td></tr> <tr> <td>Schultz</td><td>Barry</td><td>1076</td><td>71.4</td><td>10/11/2006</td><td>57</td><td>Winthrop Univ. Rec.

Yeah he did. Go Mike go!! CO representing strong so far with Roddy at 60 and Mikey at...???

Looks like discgolfunited isn't handling the load. Either that or someone tried to sort the scores by under/over par. :-)

Live scoring every couple of holes is definitely one of the coolest things about the USDGC. Thanks to those who make that happen.


JINX!!!

You guys find a flat spot and been practicing with yellow rope out there? It's not like Winthrop terrain is like CO. :D

Too many customers looking up their handicaps today? :cool:

I can't believe Feldberg really carries that many discs.

I found a way to bypass the scoring page that is not loading correctly.

USDGC Overall Leaderboard (http://www.discgolfunited.com/index.cfm?DGUaction=Leaderboard.Overall&amp;thisLayout =YES)

Randolph is in next.

Looks like a 56 should yield a 1081 this round which would be best all-time on a 66+ SSA course.

Way to go Tim Skellinger......Oregon making a showing :D

Sure are a lot low player ratings in the field; 890's, 900's, 910's, 920's, 930's, etc. It would be nice to see a ratings based tournament of this caliber. Maybe that's where the Player's Cup is headed. It's ratings based this year, and hopefully from now on.

competitors: http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=6283#Open

Randolph shot 60 and is currently tied with Baca for 1st.

Randolph shoots 60 (-8). He was (-9) after 12. Maybe he finished birdie, birdie, birdie, birdie, sextuple bogey, birdie. That would humor me.

Sure are a lot low player ratings in the field; 890's, 900's, 910's, 920's, 930's, etc.

Nice round Mikey! Keep it going!

It just kind of bothers me that "The sports best tournament" doesn't have the sports best field. It certainly does have MOST of the best players in the sport, but not if you look at the entire field.

You should get the interviewie's closer to the mic Brian. Kinda hard to hear them.

Nice round Val! When I grow up, I wanna be like you ;)

61 for pete wyngard

Take your pick of any ball golf championships and there are former champs, sponsor exemptions and amateurs with the top dogs. FedEx eliminations, Firestone Worlds and PGA tour championships are about the only ones with really limited top tier fields.

There is also a CUT after the rounds.

Val shot a 74.

schweb -5 nice finish


That 63 from Schweb was very impressive. He didn't deuce one, had a bogey and a double within the first 4 holes but recovered to fire even par on the front nine. He then went on to rip the tougher back nine a new one carding 5 birds with no blemishes. Very Nice Start!

Wasn't responding to you MTL but the comment about the lower rated players in the event. If anything, having some of those TDs that get in can help improve events all over the World by getting to see it from a player perspective.

What's this about Player's Cup and ratings divisions? I see that that's how they are allowing new groups of people to enter but they're still having just Open and Women's divisons, correct?

Val shot a 74.


which means she shot -1 on the final 6. hoTT

Don't want to really get into the PC on the USDGC thread but this year, and hopefully from now on, the PC is inviting players in batches based on their player rating. Still only 2 divisions though, men and women.

Back to this great tournament.

What happened with KSW?

Wher are you all getting score updates.Sorry if this has alreday been covered. The sites I am checking USDGC and pdga, seem to be behind. (I just got out of bed worked last night.)

Looks like the tournament is open to anyone now rated &gt;= 915 for pro men, and &gt;= 850 for women.(instead of the qualifying they had previously), but the earliest date you can enter is based on your rating. There's still only 2 divisions to my knowledge.

Double G just eagled hole 12.

2nd Eagle today on that hole.



The wind must be good for it...Bratten should have a real chance at it too.



Good prediction Tony. :D

Ken Franks (the other Kenny) is 7 down on the front nine with an ace on 7. Not too shabby.....

if you must know ..
i left work early to watch the rockies game
and started listening to this and have not even turned the game on the tube but i do have the xm going

thats just plain stupidity!

barry is in next....he was -1 through 12

Watch out for Mr. Feldberg. He is quietly moving up the leaderboard; showing up now at 6 under through 12. A nice mix of birdies with no bogeys.

holy!... did anyone see that someone carded a 26! on hole 17!!!

fixed.

Cale finishes -1 (67) after qualifying yesterday with a -5 (63). Tony Gerling shoots +8 (76) after qualifying yesterday with a -4 (64). Ouch. Only on Winthrop Gold Baby!!!!

Ha! I was thinking #12 was 888. :)

If you talk to him, tell him to quit with the 6's!

wow...scott martin took an 11 on 17....

for a lefty that's rough.

thanks Wyatt - double secret carolina access is great ;)

barry in at 64. Not bad considering he went 5 8 and 11 and 12 (+4)

holy!... did anyone see that someone carded a 26! on hole 17!!!

thats just plain stupidity!



Yeah, that's unfortunate for Marty Hapner. Looks like there were several people struggling on that particular hole!

Coda, nice eagle on hole 12!

so how does one get a score of 26 on Hole #17? that was recorded by Marty Hapner.

is this poor design or a result of poor decision-making? if one chooses to play safe is it still possible that one can score a 26, or does this happen because he chose to continually attempt the risky shot over and over, not willing to concede and play a safer shot?

that puts a damper on your round.

markus next...

he was one of the ones shooting really well after 12.

wow...scott martin took an 11 on 17....

for a lefty that's rough.


17 is definately affecting rounds to varying degrees. J Reading still shot 6 down with a double on 17.

holy!... did anyone see that someone carded a 26! on hole 17!!!

thats just plain stupidity!



I can imigine, I just looked. Mind melt down. The question is, did he just keep 1 disc for hole 18?

WOW :eek:

I'd wager poor decision.

Martin taking 11 on that hole makes me wonder if the wind kicked up, blowing right to left.

Maybe after a few missed throws, Marty decided to raise the score so it was just bad enough to drop the round from his next rating AND set the record for highest USDGC score on a hole.

markus in at 66...

must have been a rough finish.

I got to watch Val play today, this girl has got some game!

BTW Val, thanks for letting me be your caddy today.

I just checked Olse's score, Bogey free. Wasn't there some kinda of bounty?

Bounty is for OB free i think

Was it a bogey and OB free round? How much?

Baca had 1 bogey, hole #15, and misses the bounty?



the bogey doesnt matter...its only OB and ending the round underpar (the idea is to NOT GET OB... i think the overall underpar idea is that someone could play it uber safe and shoot a 80 and take the bounty otherwise)

1st player to finish OB free and under par. I think that was Wyngaard.

$500 for no OBs and finishing under par (68) overall...

Its believed that Wyngaard got it already

I know... i've read the rules... just giving MTL a hard time. And against the rules or not both things you mentioned (changing quotes and posting PMs) are bad netiquette... MTL as a moderator I would think would try to lead by example. Then again speel chkecking wood heelp too! :)

Leading us to believe you indeed thought it was against PDGA DISCussion Board rules. I'll agree that it's certainly very poor netiquette and bad form and a moderator should try to set a positive example and not do it, but there's nothing ILLEGAL about it.

......and where in all that does publicly criticizing another moderator fit? Just curious. :o

i never actually thought it was 'illegal'... there really isnt much of anything you could do on here that is technically illegal. It was a JOKE and if there was any issues it would be breaking the rules... not illegal.

if there was a BIG issue I would've contacted him via PM... but I didnt and there wasnt.

I was giving MTL a hard time as he has me before.

does it suck to have your words changed and have someone make it look like you said one thing when you really didnt... sure... but its really not that big of a deal

what is a big deal is a lil' ol' tourney going on in Rock Thrill right now that should be more important than worrying about things like this.

ON WITH THE SHOW

joking is illegal ;)

Hey guys: Nobody cares. :)

Can anyone tell me why John E McCray has a 61(-7) on the USDGC site and a 63(-5) on the PDGA site? Did he turn in the wrong score and get stroked or something? Or is this a simple error? I didnt notice if it had happened to anybody else.

Nevermind. I just found out he took a circle 4 on 17 and not a 2 which is stated on the USDGC site. Stinking typo's. :confused:

No pressure Ken, great round.

Sounds like we got a Texan in the Distance Finals... Robbie said he was in 2nd place around 7:00 eastern and thought that would hold up. His best throw??? A Z-Predator. :)

Thanks for the info Jim. I was looking for it and couldn't find it. That was the result I was hoping to see.

I thought they all used the same discs (Innova) in the competition. Is that incorrect?

Not in qualifying or in the finals (someone correct me if I'm wrong)... I think they throw Innova plastic in the "Showcase" on Saturday night. However, the distance contest will have been decided already at that point.

Anyone nitice it says Justin Bunnell scored a ZERO on hole 8 in USDGC 2007 round 1 http://www.discgolfunited.com/index.cfm?DGUaction=Leaderboard.Round&amp;thisLayout=Y ES&amp;round=1 And his total is correct including the ZERO? How does THAT work?

I noticed it while developing this analysis http://home.comcast.net/~accuspeed/USDGC2007analysisRound1.htm of the round 1 scores:

Anyone know how they're breaking ties for tee times? I know Rod was looking forward to getting to play with Mike tomorrow, but Rod got bumped to top of the 2nd card. Granted yes, one of those 4 had to get bumped, just wondering how it was chosen. I thought it was rating, but then the other ties aren't consistent with that.

I think its by the score, if they are tied, then it goes by the last name.

Seems arbitrary, but I'm sure there's a rhyme to it

Looks like pairing ranking is based on the order the scores came in with the last person to score a number getting higher ranking than first person in with that score. This would be the oppposite of ball golf (if it's true) which gives the first player who shot a score the higher ranking for pairings on the weekend.

K Franks they plump when you cook em.. ;)I know you want out of onb the west side is the best side.

Curiosity: How tall are those surrounding trees on 4? Just curious if the following sequence sounds like a good/legit strat on it: turning roc/mid shot, grenade to the basket area.

I don't see how, even with the OB, that hole is a Par 4? It looks like one of those 3.5s that one thread is on about... getting a 2 is **** tough (I think only Bennett did it last year?) but getting a 4 feels like a total flub.

I just saw on google that Dave George was robbed at Knifepoint yesterday at boyd hill. Looks like dave stayed cool and calm and got a great description of this loser and the cops caught him within ten minutes. DG if you read this i am glad your OK, dont let this get you down and win that bounty on Sat.

http://www.wsoctv.com/news/14262535/detail.html

scary!!!

glad you are ok Dave!

man... was wondering why someone mentioned on here the other day about big wave dave and boyd hill. I know i've always been cautious of playing that course... sketchy doesnt begin to describe it.

guess it explains where they got the term 'shootout' from in the Par 3 Shootout!

glad you are ok dave... and also amazed and glad that they caught the guy so fast!

Justin must have had a 3 on that hole(#8). The pdga.com score page put him at a 67 (-1) for round 1. The dgu scores at times are different than what is on pdga.com

is it a real test or a fake test? The real question is did you take the test, and the next question is did you pass or fail the test?


Christian Dietrich, Dan Sisk, Hans Tegebach and Scott Marting took the disc golf "test" yesterday and did very well. They just didn't know that there was a lawn-dart "question" near the end that counted 50% of their grade.

NEVER give up

true that now kick some [censored butt] today

Speaking of the test. if you care to test your skills on the course. I have 4 tee times at 1:10. if you are interested please pm me. I turns out these times are free now.

Thanks, partner. I appreciate the invite, but, if you're talking about Sunday, I'll be a little too busy for a 8hr roundtrip drive. If I drive that far I'd rather play Renny or Hornets instead.

I'd like to reciprocate in kind and invite you up to my place for a round anytime. Winston-Salem isn't that far from here. In fact, there's a new course going in in Rocky Mount, VA very soon that won't be too far from y'all or the High Point folks. That course is going to be unreal and it's in a huge, secluded park with an airplane hanger-size shelter.

Alright B Skinner from VA, Schwebby, and the NC boys!!! Meet or beat those scores today!!! Represent! C'mon Naved!!! We're rooting for you, buddy.

Yes the Tee times are for sunday. and should have made it more clear any one interested can PM me.

Sorry if this has been answered before, will the dots be up today? If so, when?

where do we go to see the dots? I wanna see dots. I swear i won't agitate the dots. I just wanna see them.

the dots should be up today if all goes well! might be interesting if it rains.

So happy the DOTS originated in Raleigh.

Where do we find these dots?

How do you card a "�"????? I've hit an ace and had to write down a "1". So far, sandstrom has 2 "�"s.

On the course map it looks relatively painless, but if you open up the caddybook and virtually flip to page 7, you'll see it's another Tin Cup scenario like 17.

Even with that in mind, seems to me only a stubborn player or hurricane could cause a player to throw a 20 on the hole.

Robbie Bratten. Starting out hot.

btw. I'm asking, I don't know.



probably the 26 on hole 17 yesterday!!

Oh, didn't know 21 was beat.

I'm sure this has been explained in a rules thread, but if you run out of discs during a hole, what happens?

Yes, please, someone explain the ZEROs !!! Bunnell had one yesterday, Sandstrom has two today - what gives? I emailed the USDGC yesterday, received no reply yet...

I can see if the hole had to be played later due to weather, but even that does not explain this...

Could be a provisional, in which case the score would not be determined until the end of the round when it is taken up with the TD. Not sure, but that's my guess. Then again provisionals on 2 and 3 don't make much sense, unless there was a question on where the player was last IB.

not sure, but the guy who threw the 26 was down to his last disc and luckily made it.. Mace is interviewing him now!!

dots are saying 22 MPH winds!!

and if the direction is right, it would be straight head wind on 17 and 3 - wow!

Where do we find these dots?



Go to the USDGC website and hit the "Lead Group Live" link.

good drives on 4 from everyone but Mike who is OB

Now there aren't 0's on the scoreboard, there are just blank spots where hole scores should be? Zuh?

when can we get an update on scores

wheneva ju get down here

Curiosity: How tall are those surrounding trees on 4? Just curious if the following sequence sounds like a good/legit strat on it: turning roc/mid shot, grenade to the basket area.


I don't see how, even with the OB, that hole is a Par 4? It looks like one of those 3.5s that one thread is on about... getting a 2 is **** tough (I think only Bennett did it last year?) but getting a 4 feels like a total flub.



The trees are tall 50-60 feet and you can only two it if you THROW it in..........Your never going to get a putt at it.........You have to throw out to an area then play over the top of some 50-60 ft trees that you cannot see the basket threw..........Oh and the green is an Island so if you dont land inside the OB you go back to the drop zone and try to go to the green again..........I played it twice during Monday Qualifying and took a 3 by throwing thumber Tommy and hitting a 32 footer for 3.........Second round I threw thumber tommy again and missed my 35 footer from under a tree and took a 4..........But let me tell you if your the litlest bit off on your drive you laying up to the drop zone to try and go over from there so its a great par 4 and 3 is a GREAT score because the only way to 2 it is by throwing it in and that pretty hard when you cant even see the basket from your drive!!! PS Bennet got a glimpse of the basket from his drive then threw a sidearm THREW the pine trees when he got his 2 last year!!!

write threw the pine?

About 10 being an "island" green..Well, 17 with the bales and the water..ok I get it. I walked with 3 different groups on 10 and in each group there was at least one OB and when informed that it was an "island green" rule honest to god, no one believed it. Each time we had to verify it with the caddy book. No water, no hay bales. The pin in-fact is in a low lying area. I guess given that, one might think of it as the first "anti-island" green.

Now I really try to avoid being one to criticise because I know the great deal of thought and work put into designing the course. I'll grant that. In this case, though, I'd say given the gut-reaction of most players and the look and feel of the hole, making 10 an island green is sort of superfluous. Unlike 17 which is sort of exciting, this one just comes across as irritating.

C'mon tivvle, we need scores as they happen! By the ways, thanks for the updates thus far :)

The reason its an Island green is because if it was not it would become a much easier hole.........The 3 on 10 is much more difficult to score knowing you HAVE to say on the green of your pretty much re throwing from your previous lie.........It makes people swing the hyzer a little wider on the right side so they can keep it in bounds. If it wasnt an island green the worst score you could take on it if your a decent player is a 5.........Drive.......OB second shot.............missed putt.........very short putt for 5...........But with the green being an Island you can take higher numbers and it also makes 3 a GREAT score and 4 a good score.

Just my 2 cents

yeah it was fun while it lasted.....sadly I'm working now and can't really keep up with it :(

You'll get no argument from me on any of that. Nonetheless, I don't think it changes anything I described either.

What happened on 8? Dots aren't showing them putt out. Also are the scores updated on the left? just curious

Click live action, or view archive for 8, they putted out and have teed on 9 now.

Bratten in with a 62, per the PDGA Tour page.

Solid comeback from the opening round 71.

John Child shoots a 58 and jumps to -9!

Barsby shoots a 60 and jumps to -7!!

Two GREAT rounds!!

NorCal

Ill Try, the shot was sooooo goood that the basket kept it, and since he couldn't retrieve the disc, he gets a zero. How's that?

Mini Thumber

They said on the radio that Christian's son became sick at the child care area. He left the group to check on his son and missed hole 2 &amp;3. After much discussion, they ruled that he would get par+4 for those two holes since this scenario wasn't directly covered by the rules.

par +7?

Do they just grab these rules out of thin air?!?

Where in the PDGA rules is ANYTHING remotely close to this mentioned?

Thats absurd....give him a 7...thats the rule if you miss a hole...who was involved in this "discussion" to make it par+7?

actually the rule is par +4, not a 7.

You think 7 b/c most holes are par 3 and are minds are trained that way anyway.

He should receive an 8 on 2 and a 7 on 3.

He took an 8 and a 7. It's obvious that Chuck meant Par+4, which is the rule for showing up late, not a 7 as commonly thought.

edit: beat me to it Rob, you are too fast!

Sorry Par+4. My mistake. I changed it.

Robert, in that section that states, the TD can make a ruling on any situation that is not covered in the by laws.Now, go find some dots, they ran out

For the Kids
Mini and Multiple Thumbers

mccabe 60
cale 61

johansen and Bunnell - 62

Thanks....that makes much more sense

Go Schwebby Go!

kenny comes it at 58 - puts him at -15

I really hope someone was filming McCray scoring a 3 on hole #5. I know it's been done twice in practice rounds (Brinster &amp; Grider) but I don't believe anyone has done it in the actual tournament yet.

Day 2 scoring average: 70.94047619

Day 1, Day 2 combined scoring average: 71.19047619

Brilliant, day 1 tougher then

No 3 on 5. It was a circle 6 and mis-scored online according to John himself.

Preliminary day 2 round rating average: 991.5059524

Which is what it should be every day since that happens to be the average rating of all players.

does anyone know where the distance finals are being held at tonight???

its listed on the USDGC site as TBD, 8-10pm

That should put a smile on your face Chuck!

Yeah Sug Nasty...keep it up!!!

go Matt O!

yeah scott "scowbags scoward" howard from NJ....

awesome finish to his round....

the only player in either round to birdie the last 4 holes of his round....finished 15-18 in 3,2,2,3....

Thanks Millz. Thats the clarification I was looking for on how the hole plays. You just don't get the same feel for how hard it is without being there. I can't wait to be there and play on Monday next year.

Bennett holding strong with another -5! Only the 17th best round of the day (yesterday it was 12th best) but the consistency has him jump five places to 7th place! Go King! Avoid those doubles and triples and quadruple bogeys and a sub 60 is there for the taking!

garret gurthie is winning right now with a 558 in the distance comp

That should put a smile on your face Chuck!



The average round rating should always be the average rating of all players, considering round ratings are based on a player's rating and what they shot. If I'm not mistaken, the average round rating HAS to be the average rating of all players playing (barring any *fixes* like they had for ams at one point).

That's true. However, the catch is that only propagators are used in the calculation and you can't tell who they are at most tournaments. However at USDGC, it would be unusual to have more than one or two who were not props. Remember that rounds more than 60 points below a player's rating are also not used. But even if you miss one here or there, a single player's score with 168 at USDGC impacts the overall SSA only 1 in 168 and most players on average shoot closer to their rating on higher SSA courses.

Yesterday, there were 27 bogies on hole seventeen. As well as 27 doubles. And 27 triples (or worse)! Weird...

(There were 29 birdies, 58 pars, and no eagles or better.)

Hook up Scwheb!

I can't get the radio feed. Are they on?

Radio's been on for a bit.

hey Kevin and the rest of the doTT guys, can you use the "dot notes" section to note what each player actually took on the hole? It's kinda difficult to count the bounces on some holes.

I am getting an error message now.
Still no radio

I hear there is a topical cream that'll treat those raging infernos.

Just think of what he could have done with a wraith ;)

KO is on FIRE! Keep it up!

Maybe it's already been said, but I just saw that Lundmark birdied 1-8!! Eight brown boxes in a row on the online scoring! As well as 9 out the first 10. -9 after 10 holes. Scorching!

gangloff in at 60 and moves waaaaay up.

Coda also in with a 60, move to 15 from 55 for now.
