All of the entries that i have for sure as of today will be listed on the website tonight.
I have 15 or so more but waiting on conformation.
At this rate its going to fill pretty quick!!!

Thanks Jerry

Allright! I made it on the list!

Looks like some really good Masters so far :cool:

If you want to be a part of the action, GET IN EARLY!!!!





ps: There may be another chance at a free entry the day after the Woodmen Spring Fling. Just a friendly heads up! ;)

The Pro Trophies are going to be HOT!!!
I dont know if i can top last year but im going to try.

You cant win one if your not there! Guaranteed to be one of the best tournaments of the 2007 schedule!!!

Just found out that our friends at CHICK FIL-A are going to provide lunch for all players at the Shootout!!!
Saturday the 5th for sure and possibly Sunday the 6th.

Getting better by the day! Thanks to all our sponsors for all your support for the
2007 Discrazy/Budweiser Select Shootout and for supporting the game of Disc Golf

Just a heads up. I will be updating the entry list on Discrazy.com <font color="blue"> </font> tomorrow if anyone wants to get in before then.

Fundraiser coming up soon! Possibly a Match Play Day. Details soon.....

Hopefully we can get all the details worked out for a match play event on the 15th of April. The day after the Woodmen Spring Fling.
Another option is doubles with 3 different formats.
First 6 holes - Best Shot
Next 6 holes - Worst shot
Last 6 holes - Play your partners disc

Were working on the Match Play layout to see what would work best.

Dont forget about the Duke Fest in Albuquerque NM. this weekend.
Always a great time. Looks like a big crowd will be heading that way from Amarillo.
See some of you there

Duke Fest is almost full!!! Call ahead if you want to play!! I talked to John Hahn last night around 8:30 and they were at 80 players, with a cap at 90. Accuweather says it will be close to 80 in the desert this weekend with very light winds. Could it be? Will we get to play the Baca without gale force winds? And sunshine instead of rain & snow?

Beautiful weekend in the Duke City! Most everyone was sunburned. Baby Rock got it twice, at the course in the morning, and then again at the Zoo in the afternoon with his mom and my mom. But with a little aloe vera, all is well.

I saw a bunch of registration forms being handed out Saturday, so there will be more pre-regs coming in soon.
GET SIGNED UP EARLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't wait till the last minute or you may be watching from the gallery.

Thanks to all of you in New Mexico for the great tournament this weekend!!!!!!
You guys really stepped up this year and made it the best Duke Fest so far.
Dont wait till last minute to get entered into the Shootout because there may be no last minute!!! At the rate its going it could be full in a week or two!

Some good rainfall yesterday and this morning. The green-ness is taking over! The creek is FULL!!!!! Starting next month, the Top of Texas area will be busy with lots of action. Time to plan your Disc Golf tour, Top of Texas style! :cool: The Woodman Spring Fling, Big Spring's West Texas Disc Golf Championships, then the Budweiser Select/DisCrazy Shootout at the Disc Creek Disc Golf Course in Amarillo!

I talked to Matt last night, and with the players from New Mexico that have signed up last weekend....there are around 60 players already signed up for the Shootout. He mentioned that he would add up to 3 extra holes ONLY.....

60 players already signed up......only 105 spots.......5 weeks left....

You do the math......sign up NOW!!

The Pro Trophies are HOT!!!
There taking alot of time but its worth it.
For the last 3 years these trophies have arguably some of the most unique and nicest in disc golf!
I will have pictures of the 05 and 06 trophies on the website soon. ( Discrazy.com )

More rain for you guys!! The course should be in perfect condition come Shootout time!!

We're trying to prevent another round of wild fires like we had last year!

This weekend we had to skip #15 on Saturday due to the standing water around the basket. By Sunday it had evaporated enough to play to the pin, but no aces! The grass is thick and green (some nasty weeds mixed in as well)and playing tough for rollers. The trees are leafing (is that a word?) out and it's getting hard to determine which ones got damaged by the ice storm this past winter. The creek is full and raging.

Is the Disc Creek Course tough enough? Let's see how it plays after adding some extra OB paint on a few holes :eek:! That's right, look for some tighter fairways, more demanding tee shots, and some new OB ponds.

Sounds fun...I cant wait!!

Im thinking about putting a bounty on hole 11 in the Ultra Long position!
I am setting up a meeting for everyone (staff) involved in the Shootout on April 13th at 8:00 P.M. The night before the Woodmen Spring Fling. If you would like to be a part of that please contact me.

DisCrazy.com has new pictures up! Some really good ones from the Ice (Nice) Bowl. Just a small sample of what lies just a few miles off of Interstate 40. Those goofy tourists ;) that never venture off the highway don't know what they're missing!

The DisCrazy.com website just keeps getting better! Thanks Matt and Craig! More pics soon from Duke Fest.

Hole 11 ULTRA LONG BOUNTY!!! A Two from the BLUE would be awesome! It can be accomplished but it will take a GREAT drive and an accurate second shot. Hopefully we can make that pin location the permanant long spot and remove the current short position. That hole needs to be a PAR 4 to help balance the Front and Back Nine's.

I agree! Hole 11 would be a true par 4 then. I guess we will find out at the Shootout! The New Plastic is getting longer and longer. The Disc Creek Disc Golf Course will follow suit! Bring your long arm, your accurate approach shot and your precision putting! Why? Because the low round of the course will recieve a nice gift package!
Also there will be a side bet with any Pro. If you want in its $10 bucks. The low round for the the tournament will take all! If 30 Pros get in, thats $300 dollars! You dont have to win the tournament to take home a good payout!!!! Let me know if you want in.
I will be updating the website with all the new entries tomorrow so if you want on the list hurrrrryyyy! :D

Is it May yet?? Im ready for the Shootout!!

Not yet! We still have to get through the snow predicted for Easter :confused: We may not even get above freezing on Saturday.

Don't put away your cold-weather gear yet. It's cold here! NO snow so far this morning, but it looks like it could start anytime.

Gear up and come play the Handicap round today, $500 ACE POT!

ATTENTION!
Discrazy will be raffling off 2 Round Trip Southwest Airline Tickets!!!!!!
$3 per ticket
5 for $10
10 for $20
15 for $30
The more you spend the more free tickets you get!!!
This is open to anyone! You do not have to be present to win.
The drawing will be held the weekend of the tournament.

There will also be a seperate raffle for almost a $1000 worth of merchandise!!! If you have something you would like to donate to the raffle please contact me.

That will make for a very nice vacation (or tournament trip) for someone. We'll take 10 ;)

Well we have a new contender for the Long Haul Award!
I recieved an entry today from Bridger Baxter in IDAHO!!!!!!!

Fundraiser this Sunday? Any details?

Looks like we will have one round of Random Draw Doubles.
3 different formats will be in play.
6 holes of Best Shot
6 holes of Worst Shot
6 holes of Best Score
$10 a person Play will start about 9:30 or so so we can get the out of towners on the road.

Thanks to all of you who showed up for the fundraiser today!
We had 5 teams and 1 cali. 19 holes played.
1st place Matt Smart/ Pat Amerson 48
2nd place John Rock Stewart/ Tom Greensburg 50
3rd place Kylr Norrid/ Steve Fox 52

It was a blast guys (and girl)

The Shootout is only a few weeks away!!! Limited spots left! HURRY!!!!!! or miss out!

Good shootin' during the fundraiser Matt. I was rolling along on the Front nine, but couldn't sustain for the rest of the way. But, still good times. I dont remember ever seeing as many Ace runs in one round as I did yesterday.

Discarzy staff had a good meeting Fri night. The goal was to get input and discuss several issues so as to make the Shootout as fun as possible. The event also should run on time and smoothly. I will have those registered up on the PDGA Tour page soon. Matt mentioned another 20 or so that have/will have registrations in soon. That leaves only about 20 spots....and there is over 2 weeks left!! Dont get left out...sign up today!!!!

Man Jerry the way your round started off i thought i might have needed 2 more guys on my team just to stay up with you!!! LOL It was alot of fun this weekend. You played really solid the hole tournament!
And thanks for all the input from you and the other guys for the Shootout. I recieved 5 more entries today! Limited spots left!

Speaking of playing solid. How about that 10 under John Rock schooled everyone with that 2nd round!!!!! Great shooting Rock!

Thanks! All 2's and 3's from the Blue Tees make for a really good score! After getting rid of all of those extra layers of clothes at lunchtime, things just seemed to fall into place.

Plus, I got to wow my group in the first round with a little demonstration of my telepathic abilities! Thanks D!

77 now entered into the Shootout. I dont think it can be stressed enough that if you want to play, SIGN UP NOW!! Only 28 spots left with 2 weeks to go. Dont be the one to show up Sat. morning just to find out you can be no more than a spectator.

I hope to get all the players on the Discrazy Shootout list under the PDGA Tour page this weekend. The Masters division is going to be very tough. Bring your A game if you plan on winning that one.....

This ones gonna be off the hook! Dont miss out.....

Maybe we can convince $ome of those really good Master$ players to $ign up in Open? Po$$ibly? Maybe if there i$ a big FAT chunk of in$entive? What would it take to get all of tho$e old dude$ to mix it up with the young$ter$?

If Matt could divulge how much added ca$h i$ going to the Open divi$ion, and point out (I a$$ume) that le$$ added ca$h is going to the Ma$ter$ divi$ion, that might get $ome to jump $hip! 15 Ma$ster$ and 8 Open right now.....would be nice to rever$se tho$e number$

As of this morning, 16 spots left!! I think its a given that this is going to fill. Dont get left out. Sign up NOW!!

More entries through the evening yesterday. Sign up quick. You won't regret it!!!!

Even if the event fills, contact Matt to get on a wait list. There will be unfortunate incidents that will cause some to have to cancel. 99.999% chance we won't cancel because of weather, we play in the bad stuff. Tornadoes, wellll, that's another story. But they usually happen in the afternoon and evenings. Plenty of time to get in lots of GOLF!

DON'T WAIT! GET IN NOW!

Players list?

I know there is one on the DisCrazy website (click the link below). I think they are working on getting on the PDGA event page.

Are you planning on making the trek North? I heard there were some others from your area coming up.

Players list is up on the PDGA tour page

Texas Panhandle going "HIGH TECH"!!!!!!!

Get in quick, or come out anyway to help with spotting and other volunteer efforts. Matt may even be generous to volunteers ;)

Ooooh, look at the pretty flowers! ;)

yeah....I heard about some asthetic changes that were coming. :D

More signups last night, and few that had to drop out. I think the count is just under 100 players now. Very few spots left, but with the possibility that some will open up. If you want to be sure and get in, contact Matt Smart TODAY. Lots of good things planned for this event....should be a great time for all involved!!

18 in OPEN? That's the scoop. There's room for 3 or 4 more.

Call now and get in!!

Oh yeah, the flowers are gonna be cool!

Full house!!!

Call now for the wait list. Sorry if you don't make it, it's gonna be cool!!

It was only a matter of time.....

I have the updated players list on the Tour page....as of last Friday. Will get the newest entries up ASAP.

Yeah, now we get to hear all the sob stories about why someone couldn't get in. The flyer has been up for about 3 months now, and the website for a couple. No good reason anyone could not find a way to pre-enter.

There have been a few players that have had to drop out in the past day or two. If you want in contact me NOWWW!

Abilene stepping up!!

I'll get the PDGA list updated tonight....though I think its changed already. Cant wait!!

Players equipment info:

All Pro players (money prizes) play from natural grass tees (except HOLE #15 - 210 feet - concrete tee pad) All other players tee from 18 concrete tee pads and 3 natural grass tees.

There are lots of shade trees, but very few places to get out of the rain, so an umbrella may be helpful.

Limited water is available on the course, so bring hydration equipment.

There are several benches scattered around the course, portable seats are very helpful.

Water crossings: There are no holes where you have to cross the creek, but several where you play beside the creek, so extra discs (or a floater) may be advisable as discs that go into the creek are not always easily retrievable if the water level is up or murky.

Can we get to 20 OPEN players? I think so. Some are having to cancel due to unexpected occurances, so if you're not in now, call to get on the wait list.

Last upload of the pre-registrations is up on the PDGA Tour page. This list will probably change slightly come Saturday, but should be pretty accurate.

Next stop.......AMARILLO!!!

Big rain in the Panhandle last night, but we're still here! We received more than 2 inches in a short time, causing a lot of flash flooding. Does anybody remember the downpour we got last year the night before the Shootout? It made the water level in the lake rise up past the OB line in some spots. Pretty funny, seeing the OB line underwater and knowing that you could land in the water and still be OK. :D

I remember.....very wet day. But, I'm prepared this year!!

Yes, it was a soaker! And of course, it didn't start until my group was as far away from the vehicles as possible! With so much stuff on my mind that day, I forgot to bring my umbrella with me so I got drenched.

This year I am determined to improve on my finishing position from last year's effort. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Any guesses on what the PRO throphies are gonna look like?

Who wants one for their trophy room?

Come get one!!

I believe we will have a guest from Austin this weekend.....I hope he remembers how to play in the WIND....I'm sure he does he used to be a WINDRIDER... any guesses???? He plays in the Open division :confused:

Pete? I heard he was coming. Tell him to be careful between Plainview and Tulia ;)!

DING DING DING .... We have a winner...PDP will return to his old stomping grounds where he was given lessons a long time ago :DToo bad he couldn't bring some of his friends...the Open and Master's fields will be larger than the advanced :eek: WINDS SSW 15-30 MPH :D

Saturday scores are up.

Doesn't get much better than that. Thanks, Jerry.

It was pretty breezy all day. The sun stayed out, the storms stayed away.

We had a big time! 106 players, and there were very few back-ups/waits. Having several PAR 4's on a course helps get more players playing. 11 Women playing this weekend. 22 in OPEN!!!!! The island hole is cool. The creek is murky and running fast. Santos crushes the Long Drive contest - 600+ (could you imagine driving the pin on #4/short?). And, Chick-Fil-A brought us lunch! Yeah, a cow.....riding a mini-motorcycle! Only in Texas!!!!!! Then, after the second round, there was beef and chicken fajitas. And BEER!!!! Thanks, Budweiser!

Time to make the doughnuts.

Final totals are up.

What a time! I guess I need to plan a trip to City Hall and see if we can arrange for a larger parking area for next year. All in all, I think the course setup worked liked I hoped it would. I saw a few players worry about the temp. ponds, and I saw the Flower Beds stop a roller headed for the pin. Simple, effective. The Island Hole was fun. Many players missed, several barely made it in, but the excitement generated from that hole was cool. Our last group all made it in, but not all made the Birdie putt.

Keep checking DisCrazy.com for pictures from the event.

And what about Kathy Hardyman (Disc-Diva)? Leading Grand masters after the first round!!!! That girl can play! Her and Steve also have all the latest, coolest, bestest stuff for all Disc Golfers. Check with Disc-Diva.com for any gear needs you have! And now with their new equipment, they can do lots of cool engraving.

Man, what an event! I think things went pretty smoothly...considering none of us had run an event with that many people. Lots of new faces, some of the regulars were back.....and, everybody seemed happy with things from my perspective.

Mark your clanders for next year...its bound to be even better! I think Matt said we could have had over 150 players if we hadn't had the limited space.

One of the things EVERYONE can do to help out next year is to communicate with the Amarillo Parks Dept. Write them a letter, send an e-mail....tell them how great the facilities are and how much fun you had. Tell them that 4 or 5 of your disc golf buddies could have played, but there wasnt enough space. Spread the positive word about disc golf in Amarillo. If EVERYONE only took 5 minutes to communicate the good times they had, it would go a LLLOOOOOONNNGGG way towards improving the facilities even more (2nd course....concrete tee pads for the blues..., etc.)

Remember next year that there will be NO REGISTRATION ON SATURDAY!! Pre-registration only! Plan early...sign up early...pay early.

I had a great time with everyone in my groups over the weekend. My play declined a bit every round, but overall I was ok with my performance. Maybe one day I can get consistant enough to get in that final group....

Way to go, Norrid!!! I'm not gonna say it!

Good shootin', Marcus!!. Good thing you didn't play Masters!!

2 of my many favorite discers from Texas!!!!

Matt, great job (TD's rule)! I heard/read everyting good about the tourney. I wish I could have made it along with that geeat Albuquerque and Lubbock crowd. I think I would have got my $#$#@@%#^%@! kicked....the score and round ratings were really good (kudos for the good course design). Let's keep the disc in the air (alas, the ball rolling by everyone supporting Sherri's Fathers Day Fling on June 16th and Jerry's Wild Hair on June 23. And...for the FDF I've got room (especially for the geezers).

Thanks for those kind words sir. Kyle is lucky he didn't play Open :oGreat tourney! Congrats to Matt and Discrazy for putting on a great event. I know he had lots of help and thanks to all those behind the scenes workers. Congrats to all the winners and everyone who was lucky enough to get into this event. Payout and trophies were awesome as usual. Props to PDP for coming from San Antonio. Way to represent LUBBOCK....many players and mostly cashers. Great battle in the Open field...thanks Rock, Santos, and who could forget Jeremy and his great game this weekend!! Hope to see everyone again real soon on tour in TEXAS or NEW MEXICO :DOh Yea, Thanks to my daughter Amy and Sherri for being my caddies all weekend :p

Keep checking DisCrazy.com for more info from the event. There will be pictures from the weekend up soon.

And how about those shirts for the players packs? Those are probably the coolest we've seen since the Roswell event. Glow, Baby, Glow!!!!!!!!!

good to see West Texas Disc Golf grow!
Keep up the good work.

Thanks.

This event shows the signs of good things to come for Amarillo DG and West Texas DG. Of the 106 that played, I would estimate one third were new to Amarillo events.

The layout for the Blue tees was awesome!! I never understood how much of a difference the Blues are from the Whites until I played an entire weekend with them. The shortest course configuration for the Blues was longer than the longest course configuration for the Whites!! You had to average about 970 rated golf to shoot under par.

There was only 1 incident that was negative, and other than a few scoring mix ups, it flowed pretty smoothly.

This event really made me feel good about the direction West Tx. Disc Golf is going. My hope is for continued positive steps and good relationships with other disc golf communities.

Mark your calanders next year. DisCrazy Shootout #4 will be even better. Im hearing possibly 2 courses, or 2 pools......who knows :o

There will probably be some tweaks to the course for next year. Namely some MANDOS for righties! ;) In our effort to make the course flow better, we used a few MANDOS. Unfortunately, it seems they all were "Pass on the Left" MANDOS. Some players felt the balance was off, and rightly so I suppose. However, the top scores for OPEN had two righties on top and then a lefty/righty tie. So maybe it was just personal perception.
