I would definitely pre-reg. I am almost 100% positive no sign-ups Sat morning. This is going to be a good one. The players packs are awesome :cool:to say the least. The courses, food, and fun had by all is all that is needed, for this one. The bonus is you will get to see 4 out of the 5 courses we are going to use for Mid Nationals in September. :)

I'm coming if I can find a place to stay.

i'd really like to come as well. have anywhere i can stay dave?

This should be a great event, hopefully there will be about 60 or 70 advanced player's. :cool:

Peace to all :cool:

Talk to DaveMac, I know if he is not full, he will certainly entertain discgolfers. Know he will try, and wake you up in the morning if he can find you /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif If he cannot, and, all the cars go to the course(s):eek: you might as well go back to bed. Do not over sleep :D:D I am full :D

L8r :cool:

7 Adv Grand Masters what a field that is going to be. Where are the rest of you. No Sat. signups. Last signup is Friday at Endicott.

Hey Devon, are you planning on coming up? You are WAY better than you showed last year /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

My money will be in the mail cant wait for this tournament 4 sweet courses

I should be able to find some beds for those coming in.
Please email directly at [email protected] if you are coming and need a place to crash!

Can't wait this tourny should be fun... Should be bringing a car load from OKC. Never stopped in St louis before!!! How are the courses????

I'd love to come up early and check out the shop and the courses. You've got e-mail dave.

When will you post the new entries receved so I know when mine was. I signed up with the link on the internet.

Coda,
Bring it on. The courses are awesome.

You want to see 4 different courses, w/4 very distinct personalities. You will not regret. We have a bunch of players on the bubble thinking about coming to STL. Do not pass it up. Want long flat w/big oaks, 8000 ft plus, go to Creve Coure, want 6-10M+ feet depending on the placements and mainly elevation change, go to Souix Pass, Want 5M to 7M+ w/BIG trees all along the way, go to Jefferson Barracks, Want 5M+ to 6M+ of all you want, placement golf, go to Endicott. These are the 4 courses that will be played for the open. I promise you one thing, you will be tired of your brain going, what do I do next. This thing personally, takes your golf game, and test all you got. Also, personally, Endicott is the toughest I have ever played. You must throw 2-250 accurately just to have a great upshot at 75-100 just to par. Also, if you can shoot par at Endy, meaning 54 you are pushing 1000+ rated rounds. CC ATA Creve Coure 60s lowerish even upper 60s. SP AKA Souix Passage, now this is the one of the nicest layed out courses in STL area. Awesome layout, long, challenging, very nice. Any thing <60 is AWESOME. Come on down, you will not be dissapointed in the courses and hospitality. BTW food on Saturday is not bad either :)

I wish I could make it but I don't get out of school until the 24th. I will be making the trip to STL again this year though but not until after the Majestic.

Good luck to everyone playing.

I talked to Boro and Geoff this weekend they said you were thinking about hooking up w/them after you get out of school :D

Coda,
Glad to hear your coming, you might want a lap around each course before if you can.
do you like to throw big?
2 of the courses are Huge ( Creve Coeur and Sioux passage and you will surely get your chances to go big.


BTW,
did you register on line?
you dont have to play but it could help our draw if some top guys were to get signed up early!


Hey Fritz can you post the distances right here on this thread>?

The courses are in full bloom :cool:seems like they get more colorful everyday. See if you can get Rotan in that car coming this way ;) This is gonna be a good one.

Looking forwad to taking the test. :D

No question try and shoot 54 at Endi. If you do it will be a 1000 rated round. Then try and break 60 at both Souix Passage and Creve Coeur, tall orders unless you can throw 500. JB is getting tougher by the day w/the greenery in full bloom. :cool: A couple down there will be a nice score. You coming up thrusday night? I have Friday off and can show you Souix than have to go to work at Endi for the rest of the day. Definitely DO NOT want to play SP or Endi blind. :D

I don't know if I'm coming up late Thursday night or just leave about 4am on Friday. I'll let you know as it gets a little closer to next weekend. ;)

I talked w/Joe Ro a couple of days ago, not sure if he is getting you some stuff to bring up for me or somebody out of OKC is bringing it.

I'm pretty sure he will send it all with me. ;)

I'm pretty sure he will send it all with me. ;)



Cool see you next week.

Just watch, we are already preparing for a barage on Friday. They know we have the courses and room so they will be signing up Friday when they warm-up on Endi. You will have plenty of competition. ;) Almost 100% positive that Dan B. will be bringing a car load from there also.

Thanks fritz;

even though Creve Coeur is the longest by far, playing it to the par of 68 is not that difficult unless its windy.
a good score here is -10

Sioux Passage for a big arm is not that hard but it still requires some course management and accuracy from start to finish.

JB can be shredded, especially by a good putter, but if your putting is off you could end up over par very easily.

Endicott is definitely the most " homie" course.
play to the green and not to the pin and DO NOT PRESS!

If you can only practice one course it should be endicott.
On paper it looks easy, from the tee, it looks easy, but for some reason Its really hard to score. :) the 1st 6 holes are fairly easy and then it just keeps on getting tougher.
The best advice would be to play smart at Endicott or you will wind up way over par. A good score here is anything under par, a great score would be 50 (-7)!

Predicted winning totals: ( assuming we have decent weather):
open -25 (-10 at cc. -7 at SP, - 5 at JB, -3 at Endicott).
Advanced - 8 (-6 at SP,-2 at SP and even at JB and endicott)

I posted some maps on the St. Louis River City Flyers message board here: Maps (http://www.stldiscgolf.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=749)

With a sweet players pack and awesome courses, this "A" tier should be awesome.

open -25 (-10 at cc. -7 at SP, - 5 at JB, -3 at Endicott).

I'll take the under on both divisions.

OK, with the greenery I do not think your scores will hold up :eek:

And :cool: JB can be cut apart w/good accurate 1st throws ; Shot flat, after, doing things today ;), after that, U must make putts. If you hit trees :( then 3 is best you will get, almost every time.) Hole 17 is playing up to its potiential, 3 or 4 there is hugh. Made a 5 w/30 ft putt today. :cool: Cannot wait to see the scores that come off these courses after the Open/msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Time is getting short. If you are thinking about coming a National Champion then, you will definitely see 4 of the 5 courses, planning on being used for the STL Open.
Guarenteed, the pins will not be the same for Mid Nats.. 3 pins per pad here is :cool:, it gives us some variables :cool:

Peace :p

care to make a friendly wager ron?
if we are calling 245 par, i'll take the under for sure.
i'll even make it 29.5 for pros and 12.5 for ams.
final nine not included...

This guy is coming to win Brian Wease /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif we shall see :) so is this guy Allen Hermosillo :eek: you go 15 for ams, not knowing how long or accurate. CC and Endi, will be the toll tellers /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif SP and JB will be lines. Hit them lines and all is good. W/O Nikko or Devin in AMs, I will take that them odds if you can mange -15 for AMs. Tall score out there :eek:, maybe not. Also straight up, do not care about final 9. Let me know, JB is looking sweet :cool: Here is another one David Rosenbalm :D lets see if rating means anything amongst the AMs :eek:

Peace and L8r,
Ron

Glad to hear you're going to make the trip Coda. Can't wait to see you rip the plastic again!!!

[/QUOTE]

I am going to try my hardest to be accuate, but I pinched a nerve in my throwing shoulder last thursday. Been out of work since and threw a singles handicap mini yesterday. Didnt do that great. I had no putting inside 30/ electric out of 40, but could only throw backhand. NO sidearm, no thumber, nor roller. Its not feeling all that great right now. I know allen is feeling great though.

Kid turned an ankle today during the finals......was hobbling pretty badly. Hopefully it's not serious.

You couldn't actually see the ankle, but he went down right after
he released the disc, was an awesome shot....final 9 to be posted soon.

Oh..and Kid went on and won the tourney...
DD

You never know, the pinch may be gone after 4 rounds here. There is a pretty strong AM1 field out there and the open field is getting stronger by the day.

We are also bring one of our local pro's. He should be up in the mix. I am about to sign him up right now.

Glad to hear you're going to make the trip Coda. Can't wait to see you rip the plastic again!!!
