Registration seems kind of low so far for this event. Less than two more weeks till this event starts, anyone else going to register?

A lot of Pro's will sign up that Friday. It has become a habit.

Being that we have plenty of room we don't have to worry about the filling up problem. I wish we would. Most players just sign up the night of.

I have heard that in the past people who played in BG Ams can get into the pro weekend at a discounted rate. Is this going to happen this year too?

I would play for a discounted rate.

How about some info on what pool will be playing, when and where? This will be my first time there and I would like to know our format. Thanks.

I couldn't say exactly when, except sometime between friday night and monday morning, but you will be playing Ephram White, Hobson Grove, Lover's Lane and Keriakes courses. Lots of technical shots except at White. White is long and wide open, probably averages 380' per hole. The other 3 each have a couple borderline par 4's, but are mostly technical deuce holes.

I will be registering Friday night.

Thanks for the info, and I sign up about a month ago :cool:Are the courses cart friendly?

All except Hobson are cart-friendly. Hobson is cart-possible, but I would just use my bag.

Thanks, I will take my bag and my cart, Thanks again and see you in 10 days.

So are the pro's signing up yet? So how's the weather gonna be like next week?

Only a few days until we leave!
Go Team Tilley's! :)

Is anyone passing by my way that I could steal a ride from??? Found out today that I should no longer drive my truck because the brakes are so bad!!! Was going to meet someone in Ohio for a ride but since my friend will be fixing my brakes while I am gone that has turned into a no go!!!

PM me if possible!!!

Still looking for a ride!!! If anyone can help me that would be great!!!

Leaving tomorrow. Hope the weather on sat. gets alittle better.

Not looking good. 55 on Saturday, T-storms in the AM. I wonder what will be worse in the rain, White or Hobson?
But 57 and Sun on SUnday.

Bringing every bit of rain gear i own.. C'mon Sunshine, you know you want to come out!!

See you guys on Saturday.. hopefully nice and dry!! Theres always that other 40% chance of decent weather! :D

It was supposed to rain during the AM tournament too, but it only rained Saturday night and was over by Sunday morning. The wind sucked.

I doctored up this GOOGLE MAP (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&q=&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=1054354712885476881 72.00000111e0ebdf7f7348e&z=12&om=1) to show the relationship between the 4 courses and the host hotel. It's kinda nice, but I was disappointed when I found out that it won't print the markers that I have added...

Looks like I'm gonna be able to skip class on friday to come up and play this one. What courses should i play if i only have time to play two? Also there shouldn't be any problem with registering on Friday night, right?

What courses should i play if i only have time to play two?



I'd think Hobson and White have the highest SSA. If they don't, I would still practice those.

white is no fun if it is windy, and if it rains it will be even worse! this course is wide open

Tim keith

Map is great, that will help. Do the courses drain well or do they flood?

With limited time, I think it makes more sense to practice as many tighter/technical deuceable holes as possible since that's where you are likely to have the most positive impact on your score. In addition, holes where OB is identified on the map or program should at least be walked to see where the OB is in relation to the fairways and baskets.

Which courses are those Chuck?

i'm trying to recall which courses the Master's pool usually plays in what order. Is it Lover's Lane and White on Saturday and Hobson and Keriakes on Sunday (with Open doing the opposite)?

Which courses are those Chuck?



Hobson and White

:D

10-4.

Hobson has a LOT of shoter, tighter holes. White has a lot of 380' straight shots, but 2 looong holes with OB on both sides and 2 shorter holes with OB on both sides. Play Hobson for sure, walk White, holes 4-6. Keriakes is kind of tight, but not really. I would rather play White because of the wind, but if you know how to throw in the wind, I guess there is no need.

We have plenty of wind at Round Rock ( wide open course), gonna practice the short and tight holes. Come on thursday!

I'll be hitting up Hobson and Keriakes on Friday. Had 5 straight deuces out of the car at Lovers Lane last year during a practice round. Should be good to go on that one, and White is wide open and I know how to play in the wind(knock on wood). :cool:

Lovers Lane shouldnt be a problem with any of the pros. You all have the distance for White, but its the OB you gotta look out for. You'll think you can just hyzer or go straight up the middle, but trust me if there's wind it will knock it out. The key to White is laying up and just go for the par.

The key to White is laying up and just go for the par.



Lay-Up......??????.......Not on the Pro Weekend lol ;)

Hope to see you there Kev....

We (the 3 of us) will be there, just getting ready to start driving that way.

I'm guessing that check in as Kerikas as usual?

Sunny, High in the upper 60s.....

A lot of Pro's will sign up that Friday. It has become a habit.



When I left work today at 5:15 PM, only 70 players had pre-registered. At 10:30 tonight, that number had jumped to 162. Holy procrastinators!

Yeah we're up only a few from last year, but its still up and that's what matters. Kevin, sign up/check in was at Cumberland Trace Elementary School. I dont know if you'll read this in the morning, or see someone you know, but if you do happen to read this you and Courtney should be able to sign up at the players meeting at Lovers Lane in the morning. The meeting is at 9am.

Is there going to be any live scoring for this event?

scores (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=6265&year=2007&incl udeRatings=1#Open)

Brent come back with avengence on sunday. Top 20

Woke up this morning and what did I see on the front page of the Sports section of the Daily News but this: http://www.bgdailynews.com/articles/2007/04/15/sports/sports2.txt . This makes 2 out of the last 3 weeks disc golf has made the front page of the sports section here.

Feldberg is tied for the lead now. 2 holes into Sunday.

now Coda is tied for the lead. Feldberg bogeys to fall back 1.

Lead card is now -16, -16, and 3 at -15.

I call a 3 hole birdie streak for Climo on 6-8.

conditions are rough.

37�F
Feels Like
30�F

UV Index: 1 Low
Wind: From NNW at 12 mph
gusting to 18 mph

At least they don't need sunscreen!

Were they playing this morning?,and were's the 2nd round?

They are brutal, plus it is drizzling as well. Last week I was going to watch all day now I am just going to try and catch the last part of the 4th round and final 9.

Playing Keriakes and Lovers today, I am assuming Keriakes is first because the final 9 is at Lovers.

I call a 3 hole birdie streak for Climo on 6-8.

KC didn't get it,BUT Coda did :D

oops, Coda took the 3 hole birdie streak to move into the lead by 2. Climo gets his first birdie of the round on hole 6. Conditions must be tough, because Kerieakas is a birdie fest. Hole 9 is one of the toughest though, a long narrow chute through the cedars to a wide open green. If you clear the gap you have a chance at 2, but if you don't, a 3 is a good score.

Hole 10 should be a lot of 2s.

It is cold, rainy, and the winds are bad when they are steady but they are flat out brutal when they gust. And I mean they are gusting like crazy it goes from about 15 mph to I would say well over 25 mph in 1 second.

coda messed up a star birdie on hole 11...

Climo is only 1 back now.

Go Coda! Get that 1st NT!

Go Coda! Get that 1st NT!


I hope that Coda Hatfield and Kevin McCoy don't end up on the same card in KY. We all know about the Hatfields and McCoys :D :D :D.

...and they both seem like such likeable fellows....

is it 4 rounds with a final nine?

yes

Any word on score's?

Any word on score's?


They Have live scoring on the link in tourney results for the lead card Hatfield by 1 over Climo on hole 17.

live scoring,one hole left.Coda's up by one :cool:

They are giving rain mixed with snow starting at 12:00 and I am going to go watch at about 1:00, I must have lost my mind.

nice shooting Coda,keep it going :cool:

The wind is blowing... Oklahoma is glowing.

Once again Bowling Green with a 3 hour break between rounds.

Bring on round 4!

are they playing yet?

Dave I would possibly be interested in selling Gateway disc.
I live in Louisville, Ky. No gateway to be found anywhere.
Shoot me an email.
Sammyshaheen@gmail.com

Keep it up Coda! :cool:

The wind is fierce. I've been a course official out there, and this morning was awful. 30 degrees with sleet and light snow. 40 mph winds. But now its warm. Still windy as heck, but the temp is alot better.

So did I read the live scoring right, Coda won by a stroke??

No, right now Climo is up by two going into the final 9. I am not sure what is going on with the live scoring, but it is not working correctly. If you go to the PDGA Tour sight, you can see the scores for round 4.

Climo in the lead by 2. finals to come???

Congrats to Mills for his first NT cash!

and DJ handed the phone to "THE KID".....I hope there is good video of this :D I was able to congratulate him for his play right after Kenny's putt.

Is Hatfield's 1069 ( unofficial still ) the highest of the week..( I haven't checked since the finals.)

Great job Coda!!! :)

Congrats Champ.

It was freezing, wet, windy, snowy, occasionally warm for 2-3 minutes, cloudy, muggy, and any other terrible condition you can think of but it was fun. I feel proud of being a part of the National Tour, and helping out. If things go right, and if I feel ready then Scott McFarland, the TD, is going to let me be the 2008 BG Open TD. It depends on how well the tourney I'm running in the fall goes, and if I feel ready to take on the task.

Who won Masters? Did they play a final 9 as well? We need to have live scoring for Masters, too.

Hope it went well Deano! At any rate...way to go!!!

They only did the final nine for Open Men and Women.

How much was the payout for 1st and 2nd place?$?

Great weekend Coda keep it up!!!!

I am guessing 2+ and 1500 or so..

Eric Roadhouse won a playoff against Deano -- from what i've heard he hit a 40 footer for a deuce on hole 2 (Keriakes).

Looks like the ratings for the 4th round are off -- Open and Masters played two different courses but the ratings are the same regardless of course (there was also an overflow of Open players who played with the B pool at Keriakes for the 4th round...)

where is the payout ???

Way to represent Dollar Bills. You been playing pretty good this year. A win at Atlanta last month and then a good finish at BG. Hope to see you at Toccoa and Seneca.

thanks for posting the payout!!! appears some of those 1000 rated masters should have played OPEN with the big boys for a little better payout. :D;) /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

First I wanted to say thank you to the staff that ran another flawless event! The weather was something else, listening to Nate Doss say that is the first tourney he has ever played in the snow Sunday was quite amusing! :D


On a side note, does anyone else think the USDGC qualifier spot should only go to the Open Men instead of going to both the Open and Masters. Even if they played all the same courses, weather conditions and competition are not nearly the same. I realize this has nothing to do with Bowling Green T.D.s, but it is not right! If you are on the second or third card of the Open, playing with Schultz, Climo, McCoy, Doss, Feldberg, etc....you deserve to get that spot if a Masters players beats you IMO. I am not even sure if Rocky Russell won in the play off, but it just didn't seem right! I wish the USDGC staff would take this in to consideration. :confused:

I absolutely agree, Brad. Comparing the scores of players playing different courses in completely different weather is ridiculously unfair. In the case of the BGO, the Masters played the shielded/wooded Hobson in the afternoon while the Open were getting smacked around by the winds at wide open and stormy White. The idea, I thought, was to have players playing the same courses at the same time to be eligible. This is the same issue that has been brought up numerous times, starting at the 1997 Worlds. In the case of the BGO, where 12 Open players were in the Master's pool, they did the right thing and seeded them, to make things fairer.
Plus, how can Masters, who continue to repeat their mantra that they like Masters better because they like to play with people just like them and because it's more relaxed than in the Open....be compared to the higher pressure of the Open? By their own admission, Masters is more laid back and less tense than the Open. Therefore - it's not comparable!
If Masters want to hide from the best players, and go with the odds and take a more guaranteed smaller winnings rather than less guaranteed bigger winnings, then they should not be eligible for the USDGC spots. I think it would be completely appropriate for TDs to have the Masters play one hole from a different tee, just to make them ineligible.

Well said Caldwell....

Pete you need to be part of the board of directors for the PDGA.

I got bit by this last year when 3 of the five slots were taken by masters in AZ. I was the 3rd or 4th highest in the open that have not qualified. I always thought One division One champion should mean the selection process comes from the Open divisions, Men and women, not protected Divisions. With all the spots that go to state Reps, TDs, and Sponsors, it is rediculously hard to qualify. This keeps players like me who can be "competitive" I feel, out. I haven't been able to play for a long time now. I also learned that if a TD cannot go to the event he can give or sell his spot to someone else. Oh well.....

Did I stumble upon the Ohio Chatboard? 4 straight posts from Ohioans.

Bowling Green was great for players from the O States

Oklahoma 2nd & 8th
Oregon 5th
Ohio 11th,11th, 18th, 25th

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FACES baby! :D
