I don't believe the above is the correct info...

1st thing that stands out is the incorrect date (circa 2006)

Here is the info that was on the flyer Rocky sent me:

YO ROCKY PLEASE CONFIRM WHICH IS THE CORRECT INFO! MY CHECK IS IN DA MAIL! Baggers Unite! ;)

The above is what Rocky sent me.

the prices in the first are different than the prices in the second....that confuses me....

Rocky - what is the deal?

3rd round tee times are different too.

So i paid to much ? 35.00 adv men ?

Rocky,
can you clear up this confusion? I want to send my money in. thanks.

Sorry Guy's, as noted before, the One MTL put up is correct. The one in increments of 5 ie 25,30,35 and so on is the correct one. We want payout's to be better.
Sorry, get your registration's in. Starting to fill up fast

Mini Thumber

Robert, can you correct the output. Players meeting is at 0920 am Sat, 5 May. 3rd round will start at 0900 on Sun 6 May. Prices that are in increments of $5:00 is the correct one. I apoligized earlier for this mistake. Now the critics come out. Doing the best I can. I appreciate Mike and Roberts help these things are difficult.
Mini Thumber

Cool,

I owe you a few bucks ($7 to be exact). I will put it in the mail.

Thanks for the clarification.

Tyson :)

We'll get it straight.....

We've had a few issues with confussion - sorry about that.

This is THE CORRECT FLYER.

I don't think there were any critics, just people trying to get things correct so they can participate. Thanks for getting things straight.

Your welcome brother, Now we got it straight. Now get your registration in, and come on down to the Heart of North Carolina, look forward to seeing someone from the Sun King.
Brian Mcree is going to defend his title. Will be Tough.

Thanks
Mini Thumber

So this is my first year for the Spring Sling. For those of you familiar with the course/tournament, whats the layout like? Is it any different then how the course is now?

It looks like you have to shoot well under par to contend

The course has 17 dueces on it and the 18th hole can be dueced, but do to OB, most people do not try to duece.

The only hole I throw a driver on is the hole mentioned above - it truly is a shootout.

Is there anymore OB besides 18? (thats the one where the pad is in the middle of the circle?)

oh yeah - the parking lot by 1 and 18 and possibly 15.

The road that goes in the back which comes into play on 2 8 9 and especially 11.

The tennis courts are OB too, as well as in the pool.

You are correct with one addition, the road and beyond on hole 5.
Around 35 spots left till we fill. Mike will be updating soon, and emails say more on the way.
Have CTP's from Team TTrim, Kings Cup, Boz, LCDGA, Joel and Christian, Mini and Cupcake Thumber, and Windstream.

Pads looking nice.
See ya soon
Mini Thumber

Course is looking better, have had some great reviews. Have had some complaints from the , well you know em, the ones that always have an opinion, and never time to assist. Tilled up the pads, raked, leveled, ball diamond sand mixed with dirt, now waiting on mother nature for some water. To get au, natural. A great deal of debris had been collected. Fairways have been blown. Come on down to the heart of North Carolina.

Mini Thumber

Congrats on the sponsorship Logan. It is good to see someone from our area playing well.

I think we have enough spots available. The M and Ms have informed me we can handle 90, so that should be plenty. I would be really concerned that one registers by 0845 day of event. I'm a timely dude.

Mini Thumber

Mini Thumber

Hey Rocky

My Check just hit the mail box.
Rooms booked.
See yall saturday.
Never played sanford, hope its nice to me

Sanford is very similar to ECU Vee - just a bit tougher

Good thing ive been keepin my flick warm. Seems ill be needing it.

is there anywhere to see some pictures of the course?

Got your check 2day, bring your camera too so we can have a pic. Doubles Friday Eve 5:30 registration

Mini Thumber

rocky,
what is the hotel called that is right on the corner of Horner and Bragg on the east side of sanford?

Rocky,
Did you ever get jj's check in the mail for our registration??????
THE BEAST

Nope

Well, Justin sent the check on Friday.

Not sure which you are talking about. Try Holiday Inn express 919-776-6600

when you come in on 421 you are on horner then you merge right onto bragg there is a hotel on the left side of the road on horner it is the only hotel in the area right behind the sage brush steak house (i think) does this ring a bell?

Is it a Laquinta Inn? I can't remember Dave.

no rocky's guess was right it is the Holiday Inn Express. where you stayin?

Yes, I just called and that is correct Holiday Inn express

nobel,
do you realize we have split top finishes in the 6 events we have played this year.
3 higher finishes for me (Buckhorne, Cross town, Azalea)
3 higher finishes for you (winter classic, chapel hill, discourse)
looks like the sling will be the tie breaker. let the shoot out begin :D

Vee is crashing at the Days Inn. Dont know if it sucks or not but its already payed. see yall saturday

Like you said it will be back and forth all year. I have a lot of respect for your game, we have both grown a great deal over the last several months. It has really helped me with my game, to have so many new challenges each week. Regardless of the final outcome we will both be better for it. I am trying to make the most out of this opportunity although the funds are getting low and the miles are building up. I may have to start missing a few here and there. I haven't been able to miss much playing "catch up golf". Jessica needs me to be home more but this is my only chance to make a run with the baby on the way. I am staying with a freind of my sisters just outside of Sanford. I'll see you this weekend.......shoot'em up brother!

Vee is crashing at the Days Inn. Dont know if it sucks or not but its already payed. see yall saturday




Ok before anyone else does it, man its been a long day when i spell the word PAID like that. For those of you who dont know any better, its not PAYED its PAID. Ok im done bashing myself now

man you are not kiddin about the miles piling up brotha Ele is taking a beatin. i've enjoyed every round i have ever played with you noble. you are one of the people that make's this sport so fun!!

Anyway, hopefully my game will show up this weekend. i wouldnt mind sporting near the top card.

As far as i know its me. Im not sure of Scotty's plans. or anyone elses for that matter. But anyway, i will invade alone or wiht my other east of 95 peeps

i've enjoyed every round i have ever played with you noble. you are one of the people that make's this sport so fun!!

[/QUOTE]

I feel the same way about you dude, since the begining, you have always been a genuine guy and I know that freindships are important to you. You going up Friday afternoon to get some doubles on?

Hey Joe i will have my kings cup money for you this weekend possibly. so just remind me when you see me.

Will do Mr. White pants!

Joe and DG, good luck this weekend. wish i could make it but need to get my knee taken care of. one of you hit an ace for me.

: ) :

I'll do my best, good luck with the knee and keep us posted. You'll be missed!

nah man i got my practice in 2 weekends ago so we will be rolling in friday night around dark.

that would be great i will see what i can do. get better man you got 2 weeks before the cup. did you get to the doctor yet??

OK Guy's fairways have been cleaned, pads are OK, need some rain to nourish them. Might have to light a fire on them and call the fire dept to get them wet. Water now will doem good. Supposed to rain tomorrow and Thur, will then rake, and smooth again. Weather looks good for Sat, and Sun..Dave, I looked again for your ROC, to no avail. Sorry dude I tried.

Mini Thumber

yes you did and i appreciate it. i got cupcakes t-shirt wit me.

Man, I can't wait to play this weekend!!!! Everyone better bring their A-game with them in advanced. Joe, and Dave; I am playing with you guys the first round!!!! That would be a blast! BRING IT! :D

the bad knees continue.......friar_tuck.......Chase man cmon now you know you already gave up rights to brag at OT.....The advanced field is gonna have to answer to me........lol..jk Can hardly wait 2 see all you guys again.

Scotty is not coming like I had planned. I need this weekend off to get the baby room worked on, plan for a yard sale this summer, rejoice that the semester is over (4.0 I hope), get ready to tutor a new student next week, prepare for 2 summer school classes in the 1st session and have a weekend of not traveling. I was really looking forward to this event also. And I know someone might say do that stuff next weekend, but I am taking Mrs Scotty to the beach for a day or two nest weekend so she can get away also and relax.
And Vee's college freshman friend is a cool chic. Too bad she doesn't like clowns.

Excuse me panty hose, and buttercup, niether of you are even registered yet, and have you not seen the rest of the field. Doubles randum draw fri eve 5:30 registration.

Aye, Aye Captain, right next to the tennis courts.

Pre Tnmt doubles held, Winners with a -10 Logan Sheete, and Wyatt Coggin. What to do with the ace pool. We had a one shot for the ace pool at my cart which was about 180 ft, Andrew Coggins held off all competitors untill David Wiggins stepped up and decided to put it in my cart. Kudos, see ya"ll in the am.

Time has come.

Have fun everybody.....Good Skill

Sheets with a 40 2nd Rd. Leads by 6.

ADV leader @ -20

Scores are up. (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=6765&year=2007&incl udeRatings=1#Open)

Nice shooting Dirty.

Thanks for getting the scores up. Every Pro player including masters shot worse than their rating, except for 1 player...

if I was rated 941, I would have shot above my rating.

Bbooo! Unless you are Logan or Spencer...than WEEE!

Mike, thanks for getting the scores up early, and thanks to all those that have helped. Logan, Spence, GGGggrrrrrreeeeaaaatttt.. -14, R U kidden me, ties the course record, and thats before OB on holes 89, and 11.

Good Job.

Tee Time Sun 3rd round, 0900.

Mini THumber

well if the course is changed and harder due to new OB, doesn't that mean that it's technically a different course and therefore the 40 I shot today would be the new course record?? ;)

mos def Dirty, keep it, make sure you keep having fun no maTTer what. Keep it serious, Focused, and most of all FUN

Thanks Schweb :) I'll do my best tomorrow to keep it all together and have a great time in the process :)

Valuable point, under consideration. Will consult the powers to be, my opinion, it very well should be. Nice shootin.

Mini Thumber

logan i know your happy and all but.......lay off the smilies.jk good shootin

Nice shooting yesterday Logan. Congrats on the Discraft sponsorship as well. Ease up on that pro field there Brian! Keep it hot y'all.

Logan wins by 9 over MTL. JJ and McRee third, Halton gets last cash.

Spencer wins in a playoff against Ben Hailey

Jerry Roach wins intermediate

Course played really tough today - gusts of up to 40

Thanks to Big Rock for a smooth tournament and a good payout.

congrats to all the winners!

2nd...well done Rock

Final scores are up (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=6765&year=2007&incl udeRatings=1#Open)

nice tourney MTL

Great job Rocky and all of the Sanford Slinger crew. Really impressive to start everything on time and also have the awards and scores done so efficiently.

nice sunday you mean :D

naw, it was a great come back for me.

The lead card shot 20 20 20 21 21 on the front nine, me and McRee were the 21's.

We all miss hole 10.

Hole 11 is 405 with lots of "here and there" trees, OB pin high left and the entire right side. Very tough 2. Most ppl play for three.

I just throw an S with my max knowing it will hzyer away from the OB. Well I just ripped the crap out of it and was 30 away, made the putt for the big duece. Two too circle 5's on the hole.

That was pretty much what got me going. It was the best come back I've ever had, considering how poorly I played Saturday.

2nd...well done Rock



3rd...Thanks Rocky (for the kids) Geist and the Sanford crew! Also, lets have a shout-out for the nice womens turn out, 7 lady Disc Golfers. I got to watch the advanced women throw for two rounds (Sat), lots of good shots, and they did what, all but one of the Pro players could not do on the first day, shoot above their player rating average. Nice going ladies.

Congrats Logan!! Nice shootin' buddy.

Nice come back Tizzle!

Great job Rock for running this tournament and for everyone else that helped out. Congrats to Logan, Dave, Brian, Michelle, Gary, Jerry, and Rebecca for their wins. I was very glad to be able to make it out their again and hopefully I will next year!!!!!!! BBBBBBBEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTT!!!!! !!!!!! :D

Thanks Guy's, it was the help of alot of players , Mike Norris, Stick, MTL, and Wyatt Coggins that came in real handy. Special Thanks to them.
It was a great tournament, Logans awsome record setting round, Brian Spencers -20 first day performance only to be pursued by Ben Hailey, Chase Jernigan, and Chris Warf whom kept it very interesting. Jerry Roaches -7 first round to win by 1 stroke to Jamie, and that tight battle in Advance Masters, great weekend playing with Dave, Gary, and Wiz and watching that. Just an awsome weekend.
Thanks to all for being on time, that kept things moving smooth, and all the smiles I witnessed. Hope to see all next year, I learned alot from the powers to be, and soaked up some good advice from our leaders. Thanks

Now we go to sleep

Yes I did, busy week with Cupcake's puppy having a puppy, and all the thoughts that go into a tournament, what are you forgetting, what needs done, did you get this and that, weather and so on.

Is there a blog on the Alamance Shootout, couldn't find one.

BIG Rocky, Thank you for all you did for Andrew and I. Great Job. We love the course and promise to make a better showing next year. let me know when the next monthly is. we would like to come down for it. Tell CupCake I am still her biggest fan. And the Disc I gave her are her's I don't want them back after the distance compatition.

Keep in touch.

You bet, and thankyou for all your help with logistical help. Can't wait to do it again, and improve on it. Just some awsome memories from this past weekend, from Lil Wiggins winning the ace pool on fri dbls into my cart, to all the competition of the leaders trying to defend the lead from the onslaught of players challenging. Just Awsome. Next time we need to get Big Wig a little more tired.
mini thumber

Great Tournament All!!!
I cant seem to do good there, EVER! Oh well, see you guys soon. Hope everyone is in Burlington next week. My groups were great all weekend, they are some of the friendliest guys around (and if you werent in my group, good shootin! :p). Good luck next week!!! ;)

AND Congrats to <u>MR.</u> Wiggins and Rocky!!! Good shootin' baggers!

Great event Rocco &amp; big thanks to everyone who helped get the course in great shape. Good times had and I finally got to play with Little Wig....a cool kid with a great game.
I may have to join team thumber too after 7 birds on #1 &amp; #12 with the old thumb job.

Had a great weekend Rocky, Bones, FFF, and the Sanford crew.
I never could get that hot round I wanted, but it was there. I'll just try again next year. The SSS is my PDGA anniversary tournament and marks a full two years of disc golf for me. The course looked better than ever and I know a lot of work was done. Thanks to Mike and Stick for helping with the scores. Congratulations to all and see you in Kinston at the King's Cup II!

Thanks to rocky and crew for stepping up and getting this event going. Next year I will remember to take my allergy meds so that maybe I can throw without sneezing. Had a good time nevertheless though.

NCPoints has now been updated to include sanford.

rock, is there somewhere online that you can see the article on the tournament??

Its the same article I had taped on the pole at registration. Would have placed a picture in the paper but no one took any that I know of, and the sportswriter didn't show Sat as scheduled. Tried to get a pic of some of the world champs for publicity. Working on a followup.

Pro disc golf tourney coming to Sanford
From pros to men�s and women�s novice divisions, PDGA is open to spectators and has free admission

By RANDY QUIS
Herald Staff Writer
SANFORD � A number of professional golfers will be in Sanford this weekend, but these golfers don�t play on the PGA Tour.
On Saturday and Sunday, O.T. Sloan Park will host the Sanford Slingers Spring Sling III. The tournament is a sponsored Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) event.
�There will be some talented disc golfers on hand,� Tournament Director Rocky Geist said. �We�ll have several top pros on hand along with two amateur champions. It should be quite interesting to watch the skill and technique they use to throw with.� The format of disc golf is very similar to that of the traditional golf game. However, the main difference is that a disc, or Frisbee, is used in place of clubs and balls. A golf disc is thrown from a tee area to a target which is the �hole,� which is usually an elevated metal object that makes an audible sound on contact. Just like traditional golf, the surrounding terrain creates obstacles for the player. Once the disc lands, it is
considered a stroke, and the goal is to amass the fewest strokes.
Probably the most appealing difference between disc golf and traditional golf is that you can play disc golf for free. It doesn�t matter who you are, where you are, or what you have � anyone can play at any time.
There will be a number of different divisions in the tournament for competitors to compete in. Along with a division open to the public, there will be men�s and women�s novice, intermediate and professional divisions, as well as an advanced professional division for both genders.
The competitors will play four separate rounds, the first and second on Saturday, and the third and fourth on Sunday. The first round is set to tee off shortly after 10 a.m. An individual round is usually played in roughly 90 minutes. There is no admission fee and spectators are welcome.
�Disc golf is special because it is something that everybody can do,� Geist said.
�You don�t have to be able to jump high or run fast. It gives you a great chance to get outside and enjoy your company while doing something fun.�
