The B-tier that pays like an A-tier......

Ok, turned in the paperwork yesterday on this years event.

Have talked with one possible Asst TD. Hopefully this one comes though, HOWEVER I always need help. It takes everything I got to keep the tournament on time with 200 players.

Last year having the players fill out the cards work out so good we will be doing it again this year. It just takes too long to organize 200 cards with not enough help.

2006 was the 1st time I did not have to add money to Guarantee the $1000 Ace Pot.

So this year lets do more :D (TBA)

I am working on entry fees and payouts % right now. Looks like the PDGA is going to force me to change the way I have done things in the past.

however most things will not change.....

Basket for 1st place winner. (all am's)

Glass Trophies for 1st place in each division (that has someone signed up by August 31st)

$1000 (or more) guaranteed ace pot.

I am going to say this right now.

1st place pro is GUARANTEED $1000 CASH.....................

Things worked out pretty good last year. I have lots of cash on hand and have not even worked on this years sponsors.

will try to get the the web site update and go ahead and get Titledisc and maybe other on line registration worked out soon. (have to finalize entry fees)

can you promise us another monsoon for the final rounds this year? oooohhh and can we please have 5 feet of water on 1/4 of Porter at the start of sundays round again?

seriously though, while it made for tough conditions and tough decisions for the TD... that tournament will always stand out in a good way because of it

:) I will be there......

Sorry, we are due for a good weather weekend this year. Only one time before have I seen that much water on either course. Luckly both creeks drain quickly so by the time the rounds started, it was not as hard to get around. (just very muddy)

Don't forget, the winner of the open division, Eric "Sprout" McCabe, tied the course record at Jimmy Porter on Sunday morninig and was only 1 stroke off the course record on Greenbelt on Sunday afternoon. Those 2 rounds gave him the 1st place cash of $1015 :Dh

All I have heard are good things about this tourney, I guess I am going to have to try to make this one.

Bryan does a good job and it is one of the tournaments that I consistently hit year after year.


All I have heard are good things about this tourney, I guess I am going to have to try to make this one.

Jerry is one of the reasons the tournament has kept going the last few years. I have to beg, help cover his entry fee, plead, give puppy eyes to and other things that posting would get me banned on this web site :D

eewwwww


anyway what happened to PIAS for the title sponsorship this year?

$1000 is a lot of money. It was great they personally donated $500 last year though. I don't think they are going to be able to do that again this year unless everyone goes to Play It Again Sports in Carrollton and buy discs, then say, "Hey, thanks for sponsoring the Carrollton Open last year, are you going to sponsor BIG again this year??" :D

Can do..I should go check the used box for all my stuff :p

Ok, I need someone to step up and help take some workload off my shoulders.

Again, I have taken on to much and need to take a step back and disc golf is going on the backburner

The tournament will still go on, but to make it bigger and better, someone is going to have to step up and take some of the leadership role.

All I want is this tournament to still be run for the players. That means that all income from the tournament goes back to the players in one form or another.

Please send me an email or PM if you are willing to step it up and keep the old time Carrollton tradition.

(I will either stay as TD or will give up that roll if someone has the same vision as I always have, I still want to run/help run the tournament, I just need some weight lifted off my shoulders)

Too the 1000's of players who have played this tournament in the last 10 years, thanks. No matter what, it will happen again this year and will be what you have come to expect from the Carrollton Open.

I'm looking forward to it!

What course is this event at? Is there a website or flyer for it?

Will use both Greenbelt and Jimmy Porter.

the entry fees will be the same as last year.

The web site is

www.carrolltonopen.com (http://www.carrolltonopen.com)

God I love living in Dallas.

will the basket at GB be replaced by the tourney?

I could buy one and have it installed by tournament time. I was thinking of having the tournament pay for it. (and make sure the city knows it)

I have one of the Carrollton 9 I can always put in there. (actually Shane has them all at the moment)

so who is going to step up????????

I will have the boy scouts doing water again. They will also be the charity of choice. (I donated $600 last year, they got there trailer repainted. boy it really needed it)

BRIAN WHAT KIND OF HELP COULD YOU POSSIBLY NEED??? ARE YOU TURNING THIS TOURNEY OVER??
I WOULD LIKE TO HELP....(AS MUCH AS I COULD) BUT I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT KIND OF HELP I COULD BE!!!!! LOL I WOULD LIKE TO PLAY IN THE TOURNEY SO AS LONG AS HELPING DOESNT GET IN THE WAY OF PLAYING I WILL DO AS MUCH AS I CAN!!!!!!

THIS WAS THE 1ST TOURNAMENT THAT I WON IN MY DG CAREER SO I WOULD LIKE TO DO WHAT I CAN!!!!! SO JUST LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN HELP WITH!!!!!

What I am going to need help on is getting the course back in shape (ie tee signs and making sure all the holes are fixed in the baskets)

Help getting sponsorship.

Saturday morning rush and between rounds rush.

As far as my store, it is looking pretty good on having enough managers in place by then. But things could change again by then.

Bryan as always you can count on me. If you need it, I will not play, but TD or assist. You know between rounds I will be there to help as much as I can, assuming I play. I would prefer to not TD because I believe a tournament should be run by the locals, as much as is possible. If you have to work I will step in to cover though.

I guess I am going to ask for someone to loan me a bed for this event now. I believe I can pay my entry this year ;)

it would help if you listened to your signature more!!! lol

well you can count me in for the morning rush and the afternoon rush. if i didnt work so many hours i would be able to do a lot more. closer to the tourney i will go out and check all the t signs and baskets!!! not a problem!!!!

i will try to get some "beer girls" Strategically placed through-out the course.
it will be a tough job, but someone has to do it. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

only problem with beer girls is that this is a PDGA even and all city of Carrollton parks are drug and alcohol free.

Now we will have the Boy Scouts handling the water again this year.

beer girls, boy scouts, same differance.
so you're saying it's taken care of??
sweet, glad i could help /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

6.5 weeks to go.
can't wait to get alittle redemption for my crappy shooting last year.
lets hope for better weather conditions. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I have been busy with other things right now,

I will get this up on Titledisc soon.

The info has been sent to Titledisc, however he is out of town till next week, so it will be a while before it is ready.

I will get the www.CarrolltonOpen.com (http://www.CarrolltonOpen.com) web site updated this week.

You should try to get some Hooters Girls out there to be the water girls.

mmmmmmmmmm water ;)

Sorry, we will have the Boy Scouts handling the water again this year.

mmmmmm boy scouts..... wait srry
nevermind :o

we are live Titledisc.com (http://www.titledisc.com/Events/Carrollton_Open_XI.php)

Sign up NOW to get a T-shirt. I have seen the draft of the shirt and it looks pretty good.

Remember, I AM PAYING FOR YOU T-SHIRT, it does not come out of your payout.

But to get this FREE shirt, you MUST register BEFORE midnight of August 31st.

Pizza, you need to run this tourney on "not U.S. Masters weekend" one of these years so that you can come out to U.S. Masters. ;)

Right now I don't even have enough money to play a local tournament, one in CA is out of the question. Some year though.

For anyone wanting an appetizer before the pizza main course,

ACE RACE @ GREENBELT is happening!

Saturday, August 18
Flex Start anytime ~10am-4pm

If you want to play or need more info please contact either me:

BrianVCox@gmail.com

or Clay Coleman:

clay_coleman92@yahoo.com

of send me a PM for my or Clay's phone number.

I think Clay is ordering the packages this weekend, so you need to email or call to reserve yours ASAP.

We will either do 3 rounds of 12 holes, or 4 rounds of 9. The holes will most likely be in the area of #1, #2, and #11-#17 up and down the hill.

Winner gets $300 worth of stuff.

Ok, I am going on record right now

The Ace Pot is going to be GUARANTEED $1500

Of course all aces split, but even a 3 way split will be $500 each.

NEXT

I am going to GUARANTEE 1st place Open Pro $1000 again this year. If I can get some more cash sponsorship, I will increase this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

on that note

SPONSOR THE CARROLLTON OPEN.

T-shirt sponsorship is only $100 cash.

Sponsor a Tee sign for just $25.

Help by donating for the CTP in the final round. Last year it was way over $2000 in cash and prizes. If all goes well, there will be some cash CTP's again this year.

pm discboomer.
maybe funkytown can help with some sort of sponsorship?
can't wait till this event comes around. need a little redemption for my performance last year.

thanks in advance pizza_god for running this event again. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

bump

yep, call for sponsorship. I will be working on this all week. (along with coordinating a sign wave for Ron Paul at the Sean Hanity Freedom fest on the 14th)

1 :D

Thanks Mr Jon Lee, see me when you check in.

2

got woken up by a phone call from the city this morning. They want to fix up Greenbelt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

more info as I get it (I was half asleep talking to her this morning)

sweet!!!! i wonder what they want to do... :eek:

Maybe they want to take out more trees

There are WAAAY too many trees at GB..that is why we don't play..lol

a month away.. wonder what the temp will be like?

and yes.. I prayed about it:) muahahaha!!!

Don't forget, If you want a t-shirt for free, you must pre-register before August 31st

4

Weather, usually wet, but who knows :)

5 :D

For those that have email or asked, you must pay to pre-register, I can't just take names and you pay later.

What your entry fee covers

82 chances of wining part of the $1,500 ace pot
20% or better chance of winning a $50+ CTP in the final round
players package for all Am's, players package for all Pro's who pre register
A chance at cashing in one of the best payout tournaments left in the country.

BTW, this year the payout will be going by the PDGA recommended payout sheet. (not my choice)

However, in Carrollton tradition, the payout will be better than entry fees in all divisions. (note, most added cash is put in the Open Men division)

I will try to get these listed on the PDGA web site this week. I am VERY busy this week with the Texas Republican Straw Poll. We are doing everything we can to win. :cool:

14

15 - Lloyd stopped by the store today.

just 4 days (till Friday at midnight) to get that free t-shirt

how many do you have signed up so far?
Will you be at your shop Thursday between 4 and close? A buddy and I will be playing the course till dark then and would like to turn in our entry in person if that is OK.

I just signed up! Can't wait!

I just sign up! can't wait for this tournament :cool:

Is there a master division?

yeah vinnie there will be a masters div.

and thanks for the putting tips at crowley its like second nature now lol!!!! it truely was a pleasure to get to play with such a great golfer!!! i hope to get carded with you again some day!!!next time it better be on the leader card!!!!!!

my pleasure!
I enjoyed playing with you and look forward to playing with you again

Vinnie, you know the drill, most all the money is added to the Open Men division (same $ amount per player to pro women too) if I am able, I will try to add a little to the Masters/Grand Masters, but it is usually not that much when I have.

I have guaranteed 1st place open men $1000 and the Ace pot is guaranteed to pay out $1500 this year.

I also have a Basket for 1st place Adv, and the smaller baskets for MM1 and Am.

I GOT LIKE 17 TITLEDISC ENTRIES TODAY.

That doubled the number of people who are registered.

I will try to get an actual number later tonight.

when are the minis at greenbelt and porter any this weekend???

when are the minis at greenbelt and porter any this weekend???



Check out the OMB vs YGB discussion group. They are always playing one of them on any given day. Otherwise I know they do doubles on Thursday and rotate back and forth between both courses.

What's the prize for women???? Mini Basket????

If enough women played in a division, I could order one.

The only divisions with enough players to pay for the baskets are the main men's divisions.

You should take care of the ladies first. :D

Thanks Mike..I completely agree, we pay the same amount to play yet our payout is way less...yeah yeah I know not many play but heck..take some pro money and swing it our way!

Actually I pay out a better percentage to the women division than to any other division.

Also, in the past, no woman has left the Carrollton Open empty handed.

Last year the open women paid $60 each, 2x 60 = 120 - $10 x2 for PDGA, ace pot, charity is $100 paid out

$155 for 1st
$95 for 2nd

You do the math

Master women

3 x $50
$150
- $30 for fees
$120

paid out
1st $100
2nd $60
3rd $50

Again, you do the math. Plus a glass trophy for 1st place.

1 Am woman

$30 - $10 fees
$20
Won $24 in discs, (think got a trophy worth way over $20)

plus got a players package worth $11 and might have been worth $26 if she signed up before the 31st of August.

Rec Women

4X$20
- $40 for players fees
= $40 for payout

all got $11 players package ($26 for any signed up by the 31st)

payout
$15
$15
$9
$9
$48 plus a trophy.

You figure out how much I lost on having women at the tournament.
:D

thats marvelous

He'll make it up at the A.C. :eek:

Anyone know where the current entrants list is? :)

nothing posted yet

Pizza,
stopped by the store today and left you a check. I'll take an XL t-shirt. Parker also stopped by and paid.
Mike Anderson
21704
MM1

I will be at the store Saturday. today i was busy meeting out next president.

http://hometown.aol.com/BJames1033/pgrp.jpeg

back in the saddle again.

I will be working either on tournament or the store for the next 2 weeks. (well Wednesday night I might go out to watch the Republican debate with fellow Revolutionaries.)

75 (exact number not finalized yet, there is still at least one in the safe at the store i have not pulled out)

The T-shirts have been ordered, a long with the Trophies

next is port a potties, i need to get those ordered tomorrow.

Took a little creative finagling of my finances, but I finally got registered today! Can't wait for the 15th! Fingers crossed for no rain this year :D

I've been dreaming about the alternate holes at Porter all week...hopefully its a sign from the almighty disc gods /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Got signed up for this one yesterday myself. I haven't played since 2003, so I am really looking forward to tackling this tournament again.

For those that are playing the event do not forget about the Dunn Memorial Java Classic the following weekend. Great one day event in McKinney at the Harmony Hills Temp course. Cash payout for all divisions.

yep, got 11 more via titledisc this morning.

That puts the total somewhere near around 85 players already.

The 1st place trophies are being taken care of thanks to Scott at Addison Glass and Mirror and Brice Longerbone of Crowley.

Did I mention the $1500 ace pot and $1000 guaranteed 1st place open pro men.

BTW, there are 4 women already signed up (that I know of)

2 pro
1 Int
1 Rec

There are also 2 Adv Grand Master signed up.

Bryan,

Is the ace pot covered in the entry fee? I don't remember seeing an option on titledisc when I signed up...but then again, I may have been blinded by pure glee at the idea of getting to play again this year :D

yes Ace pot is included in the entry fee.

$5 to ace
$3 to PDGA
$2 to Charity. (Boy Scouts Troop 114, the guys filling the water all weekend)

I will match $2 per player from sponsorships/disc Sales. Last year we donated $600 to them.

How many are Advanced signed up already? Rec?

entries are coming in faster than I can count them.

My goal is to get a list up on line today, either my own web site or the PDGA web site.

:D

Don't think I am going to get to couting the entries tonight. I have them all printed out and all the ones that have been mailed or paid for at the store together. I have been working on store paperwork all day (10am till now) and I still have payroll, schedule and my food order to go.

shoot, I forgot to mention, the innova discs came in today.

they are for pre-tournament sale at my store till Wednesday of next week.

Get the first pick and support the tournament (as you know, all disc sales go right back into the tournament)

Can someone give me the name of some hotels near the course?

Recommended

Roadway Inn
Days Inn Farmers Branch
La Quinta Inn Farmers Branch

OK
Lone Star Inn

Others not recomended
Delux Inn
Royal Inn
Guest Inn

those are all the ones close by in Carrollton/Farmers Branch

there are a few nice places in Lewisville at 121 and 35

there are also several in Addison that are not that far. Just stay away from Super 8

You will get the best prices on Orbits or Priceline web sites. When I have gotten group pricing, people got better rates online than I was able to get them, so I stopped trying.

what no talk, biggest B-tier in Texas and nearly 100 people signed up so far.

the discraft discs came in today. :D

post who's signed up so far and that may start some talk. Rumor has it that Joe Baginowski will be playing MM1. If that's true, it may bring some responses.

Nate Bitner is playing!!!

chirp...chirp...chirp. (not quite the respnse I was looking for) :D

yea, not being able to see who is playing kinda hurts the chatter in the forums.

I know you are busy but its true.

just finished putting them in my laptop

99 players so far :D

wow

i will get them loaded in the pdga web site next.

2007 players (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=7063)

that was pretty easy. 1st time I have done that.

we have Austin
California
Oklahoma
Kansas
all in the house

are you still planning on setting out the alternate holes tomorrow and fixing #11?

I can set aside some time for both if you want. If you don't have my number let me know.

had to drive out to ZBoaz for tournament business today, I do plan on putting in the 6 added holes and installing the sleeve for hole 11 Sunday from noon till 4 or so.

call me if you want to help 214-674-9516

which course are you going to first?....we will most likely be playing both courses tomorrow at 8am to start so I can meet you at either one.

Maybe I can talk Phillip, Bucky and Sean into helping out also...we can know that out in 1 hour and 1 more to put the new bucket in.

Jimmy Porter is looking ready, I played with some Locals I shot a cool -16 :eek: Thats right lets do it ;)

i will put the baskets in at Porter first, then end up at Greenbelt to dig a hole and install the sleeve.

baskets are in at Porter and b and c are in at Greenbelt.

After 1 hour, we still could not find the sleeve for the A hole.

it is covered by 4 inch sprinkler valve cover. It is overgrown and we could not find it. I even went home and got my 30 year old medal detector and looked for another 30 min before I headed to work.

Please, if you are in the area, see if you can find it, I always have a hard time finding that one every year.

I tried to get a hold of you twice Pizza...did you get #11 back in the ground and how about the sign for #4 at GB?

Is A the hole by the apartments or out by #12 and #13?

you called me before I woke up. I called you when I was out on the course.

I had problems finding all the sleeves. With all this rain we have had this year, all the sleeves were grown over.

it is the a hole between 12/13 that I was unable to find. I spent all my time looking for that and didn't have time to dig the hole for 11 or for the sign on 4

Can't wait till this one, 5 more days and I am there.... Pizza god puts on a stellar event so if you aren't there you are missing out big time!!!! Let the "SPIT OUT GODS" be good to me this year!!! ;) Should be there around noon on friday, is it bring your partner doubles???? :confused:

BYOP Coda - see you this weekend brother

how many spots are left for this tournament. i haven't registered yet obviously and I'm most likely gonna be able to make the trip as long as there is room.

hey Za, can i switch to Masters? if so, when do i need to let you know by?

mucho gracias (thats american for "thank you") :)

Weather looks promising for this weekend

so can anyone give me an idea of what the courses are like? maybe a link to some pictures or something? if i get to play i don't think i'm going to be able to make it there soon enough to practice so anything i can see in a picture would help

I don't know of any online pics or anything. For a quick description or comparison with something that your familiar with I'd say they are similar to the first 4 or 5 holes and all the temp holes at Crowley. I see you played there so that's close. These two may be a bit shorter overall though. Not sure what the temp holes are like, haven't ever played them.

There should be others who play there more that can much more detail. And with two courses and a current players list of 90 then I'd think there would be plenty of room for you to sign up!!! :D

That's an interesting comparison...I don't think you can use Crowley in the same sentence as either Carrollton course unless you're talking about a mix of blue and white tees.

Both courses are pretty short; almost all holes are within 340' and reachable. Most are fairly open, with just maybe key trees. Most also have a creek in play to the left or right. Most have a righty backhand hyzer route to the pin. Most are fairly flat, but there are a couple of downhill holes.

The baskets spit like a dirty pornstar...old Mach 2's that you want to throw a soft, slow putter at.

All of the holes play fairly easily when playing blind. Just stay out of the creek and you should do well!

I have yet to ever turn anyone away.

There is room for 230 before I switch to 3 flights, Ben told me he had another 10 for me via titledisc.com, that puts the total entries at 111 right now.

we had 200 last year.

hey Za, can i switch to Masters? if so, when do i need to let you know by?

mucho gracias (thats american for "thank you") :)



when you show up on friday or saturday morning to check in, give me the 10 bucks and we will take care of it.

That's an interesting comparison...I don't think you can use Crowley in the same sentence as either Carrollton course unless you're talking about a mix of blue and white tees.



Probably not, just a quick comparison of the holes that I thought would be somewhat similar, fairly open with a few trees.

95% are reachable with a RHBH Hyzer. If you can throw a hyzer within 30 feet of 95% of the basket and are putting well, you can win this event without ever seeing the courses.

yes, the key to playing good at the carrollton open is staying in bounds.

the courses are not very hard, 8 plus down per round is a must in the pro division. 21 holes per round.

course records 49 at Greenbelt from Mike Kennedy in 2003

Jimmy Porter course record is 50 by
Joel Kelly 2001
Jess Palmer 2001
Mitch Mac 2004

tell you what, I am going to set a new bounty on these.

new course record at Greenbelt 200
new course record at Jimmy Porter 150

set course records at both 400

thanks to everyone so far for the info on the course. there aren't many open signed up yet...do you think that there will be a decent field by tee time on saturday?

There were 30 in open last year.. bigger this year most likely..

YEAH!!!! but JD just shot 16 down in 18 holes in singles last week at porter!!!!! and i know only 1 maybe 2 of the 3 alternate holes are birdie-able but this year could be crazy!!!!

hey bryan how many are in advanced so far???

yes, the key to playing good at the carrollton open is staying in bounds.

the courses are not very hard, 8 plus down per round is a must in the pro division. 21 holes per round.

course records 49 at Greenbelt from Mike Kennedy in 2003

Jimmy Porter course record is 50 by
Joel Kelly 2001
Jess Palmer 2001
Mitch Mac 2004
Mitch Mac 2005
Barry Shultz 2006
Eric McCabe 2006


tell you what, I am going to set a new bounty on these.

new course record at Greenbelt 200
new course record at Jimmy Porter 150

set course records at both 400



YEAH!!!! but JD just shot 16 down in 18 holes in singles last week at porter!!!!! and i know only 1 maybe 2 of the 3 alternate holes are birdie-able but this year could be crazy!!!!

hey bryan how many are in advanced so far???



Another Course Record added to the list !!!!! :D

If I remember correctly, All three of the alternates at Porter are birdie-able.

thanks to everyone so far for the info on the course. there aren't many open signed up yet...do you think that there will be a decent field by tee time on saturday?



most pros wait till the last minuet. should be pretty tough field. JD, Coda, Eric who shot 50 on both courses last year on Sunday in the rain and mud, Smoking Joe, The Giggler just called me, and I am sure there will be more.

If not the pay out could be more than 200 percent of the entry fees :D

Rules on the course records.

If you set, not tie, the course record at the end of the tournament, the bounty is yours. If someone beats your record, they get the bounty. If two players tie for the new course record, even if they do it in different rounds, they will split that course bounty.

for setting course records for both courses, you have to set the record for both courses during the tournament, if you set the course record and someone beats you the next round, sorry. If they tie you, that course bounty is split, but you get still get the extra 50.

Just Signed Up

Anderson just located A for you at GB - I gave him your number, but if you missed him, it should be easy to find now...just go by the small tree and at the crest of the hill towards the water

Any ideas what the singles record at Porter is for 18 holes??? Anyone??

:Dyea, Mr. Anderson just called me, he found the sleeve and uncovered it for me. I will install the A hole tonight on my way home from work. :D

Also, the my contact with the city called me today, I only left him a dozen messages over the summer. He actully asked me how the courses looked mowing wise. I told him I don't think they would be able to mow this week anyways. Jimmy porter was a lake this morning, 5, 6, 7, and 16 all have trash in the baskets.

however, I drove by a little while ago and there were people out playing the course.

Pizza,
call the city back and tell them to get the mowers out, especially at greenbelt. i was out at both courses this evening and they may have to skip a few areas but for the most part it should be pretty dry. by thursday and friday it should be great.

a hole is in the ground

player list is updated, however i have not bumped the two players from Int to Adv yet.

115 players already

Any ideas what the singles record at Porter is for 18 holes??? Anyone??


I've been playing Porter for about 7 years and I've never heard a score that beats -16 in singles for 18 holes. Of course, even for JD, casual play is easier than tournament... still, I'm willing to put a dollar bet on one of the MJCO records being beat this weekend.

I put lot more than that :D

yes you did... but I can't afford to match it :D

I am going to have to sign up Saturday morning......in the open

See you then Vinnie.

Playing for the big money :D

I'll bring you a lil something from the R&R

Cool, love those RR guys.

Just got off the phone with the port-o-potties guys. We will have one at each park. (only $235.98 for the weekend )

Wow, crap hauling is lucrative, and it doesn't suffer in recessions. ;)

Any word on getting the grass mowed, I was out there 2 weeks ago and it was pretty long then. I was also wondering what the doubles schedule was going to be like my schedule is a little time sensitive..... Will we be able to start @3 or will you be getting there @3 for sign-ups?

just registered and excited about the weekend :)

we got a crap load of rain yesterday. Both creeks were over flowing there banks. When I talked with the City, we didn't know if they would be able to mow this week. (too muddy)

I will leave him a message tonight asking them to try if they could on Friday.

Casual play is easier than tournament play no doubt. After a 3 on hole 6 I birdied the next 12, and during that stretch I felt like I was in a tournament, knowing that I felt that way and still finished out birding holes 7 through 18, I feel that when I play a tournament I play better than in a casual round. <font color="red"> </font> SOME COME ON PORTER AND GREENBELT !!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

ya ya

:p

Missed you at worlds Bro! you making it to the Open?

Hey Pizza....The glass trophies for the MJCO are finished and ready to go. They look great. I hope the people like them. Give me a call and let me know when you want to come pick these up.

i will call you when I get up in the morning (usually around noon)

Heading south in 15 min.!!

Denton is not that far!

I tried to tell all of these peeps that you SUMMER in Denton. Home is still where the JayHawks play. :D

Home is still where the JayHawks play. :D



I'm sorry..... :D

trophys look very good.

I still have a ton of things to do.

Come on Sprout, Back to Back baby...!

dug a hole for number 11's basket last night at 1am

just finished installing the sleeve about 15 min ago before I came to work.

I need someone to dig a hole and plant the number 4 tee sign. I have the sign and shovel in my truck right now at work, but I will be unable to get back to the course today.

if there is anyone who could get it done, I sure would appreciate it. The ground is real soft. It wont take much.

BTW, discs are for sale today at my store, Mr Jim's located behind Albertsons next to Jimmy Porter. Sold 150 bucks worth yesterday.

swing by to get first pick.

I will be out at Greenbelt before 2pm on Friday for doubles, registration and disc sales.

Hey Bryan,

Will there be water available on the courses?

I think he said that the Boy Scouts would be taking care of water on the course.

What time is the players meeting on Saturday?

Website says 9:30. (carrolltonopen.com)

I am still sitting on about 15 Glow Ontario max weight Rocs that we are selling as fundraiser discs for the Dunn Memorial Java Classic. If anyone is interested I will have them with me this weekend at the tournament. They are only $15 and all of the proceeds go back to funding the tournament.

hahahaha now thats funny!

will post scores shortly, just got settled at the house, we hope to have wireless available tomorrow.

and it is true, 3 aces so far spliting the 1500

Eric McCabe shoot course records back to back, if no one beats them tomorrow, he will win 500 on top of his guaranteed 1000 1st place.

Back in the day (late 90's, early 00's) if you shot 4 rounds of -8 (-32) you would finish in the top 3. Emac almost did it in one day. LOL.

for some reason, the scores are not loading into the PDGA web site
