I remember standing on hole 2 thinking "was that Sjur again?"

I'll be out at Zebulon this weekend to take registrations.

I guess I better come.

and defend?

yeah, you don't got to much of a choice there

pre-reg list should be up shortly

went out and played the course yesterday.

Awesome job getting the longs cemented!!

I don't like the new long 8 as much, but I understand the property line issue.

The new long 16 is an interesting hole. Should be a good strategy hole (go for 2 and risk a big number or take an easy 3) once its clean. At this point, the layup is the only thing I could get to work.

Thanks Rob.
Ed K., Norm W. and a few other club members have been working hard to get them poured. I think all but four will be concrete by BVC. 5, 11, 15, 18 will be the crush and run.

Is 5 not the same as it always has been? (reg. tee long basket)

oops your right. I mean 6

Update: Two more of the long pads were poured today so that makes 15 and 18 the only ones with crush and run. Once again, big thanks to Ed K and Norm W for all their hardwork.
Matt Keatts is working on putting up the pre-reg. list. Should be today or tomorrow.
Also, big thanks to Mike Norris for the help with Paypal.

How many pre-registered so far? Will Norm be stackin' da rocs?

Course looked good yesterday, first time out.

Those longs look interesting. Lookin' forward to a good time in the woods.

Pre-reg list is up at:

Thanks Tyson.

i wanna come up, but need a place to say. anyone feelin generous?

I've not yet heard about any Friday dubs as of now but we always have them Thursday for anyone looking to get in some practice at the Valley. The front and back tees vary depending on how the dice are roll'n. *6:00 & a 5 spot gets ya in the ace pool.

Thursday doubles are going to be played from the long pads for those who want to get some practice in. We'll be out there to registrations

I'm up for the long pads... some of the toughest holes in NC. I wish I could offer a place to crash, but I have an aunt coming into town this weekend, so the couch is full as it is.

sounds like everyone is signing up early saturday. Jerry- I have some CTP prizes and a hole sponsorship for you. remind me at dubs tomorrow.

Thanks Alex. See everyone tonight!

Well, DP is out. He has to work...I am going to buy his spot from him today to avoid a refund situation. So, after someone confirms with him, I guess I will be pre-registered...?

Pre- <font color="#666666"> RORE </font>gestered

There will be a shot at a special prize for anyone named "matt" who plays this weekend. the matt only CTP will be one of the most highly valued prizes of this weekend.

no one has contacted me back yet, but rory bought my spot. hope that's okay. somebody let us know.

Doubles was fun. Those new pads are scary! :eek:

What won from the longs in Doubles?

There was a tie with two 52's. Eddie/Don Moore and Robbie Dunn &amp; his partner. EOG &amp; Don won it on the 4th playoff hole. Some very tough threes out there on the LONGS now.

No problem Rory. See you Tomorrow.

Alex. what hole do you want the Matt CTP on?

We actually took a 5 on a hole. I can't remember the last time I took a 5 in doubles. Def some tough holes out there.

Good luck to all!! Wish I could be there but those darn bills keep on coming!

I designate Patrick to take my place this weekend as the thorn in Danny's side! ;) :D

Play hard, play smart and most importantly everyone have fun!

I agree with the Snapp, and I appoint Patrick, and Toom to bag for me while I bag here at the sanford monthly.
Good luck all

AM WORLD BOUND, 142 hrs

results please!

Halton is leading by 5 over me. Halton smoked the longs shooting 52. My 56 was the second best round.

Fred Moran is in 3rd 2 behind me and Beave rounds out the lead card 3 back of me.

Kyle Jackson smoked the shorts with a 43 and was leading by 4 going to the second round. I imagine he's still leading.

yay scores are up!

thanks Durham crew!

scores are up
9am tee time tomorrow

nice 26

Miss any tap ins?

Looks like you missed some tap ins. Good thing you're the TD. Last Cash!

I can't remember the last time that there were this few local players at a tourney, especially pro's. And, not one 1000 rated player in attendance. What's the dealio?

that is what happens when it is put on the schedule at the last minute.

Halton got me by 4. I cut it to 1 with the hot round of 55 in the morning on the longs and then started 3353 on the shorts and that pretty much did it.

Its not like I gave it to him, he still played a very solidround to take it.

Beave came back and grabbed third, Fred 4th and McQuay was last cash.

Kyle won advanced by 13.

Thanks to all the BVC guys for throwing this together and getting the long pads almost completely poured for the tournament.

Had a blast!

scores are up...

I got a big ole screw job for my 55.

1010 at the lowest.

Oh well, thats what happens with a weak pro field.

kenneth martin from intermediate has a round rating of 26 for his first round is that legit or some sort of glitch?
I've never seen a double digit round rating before.

I got a big ole screw job for my 55.



SSA for Valley Springs has been consistently near 55-56 for the past several years and big shooters have played it. Be happy a 55 is 1004.

Right.

The course is harder now. They took 2 birdies and made them both tough 3's.

Bull City in Nov 2006 shows 54.83. Add 0.5-0.7 tougher and you get the score you shot for 1004.

i would say its almost 1.5 - 2 harder.

13 was a very easy three and good chance at two.

Now its a possible blow up and a very good three

16 went from a pretty good two to a a pretty good three.

Either way, I guess I'm perplexed how I can get the same ratings for two different scores (I mean, I know the answer, I just don't agree with it).

Oh well, I dont need a rating to tell me I played a good round.

Tell me everyone threw the same disc the same way on every hole both rounds. That the lighting was the same, the wind the same, that player energy was the same. Courses will always play slightly different every time and our system accounts for that, something a fixed number can never accomplish. And in fact, a fixed number wasn't available because the course was changed as you pointed out. That happens everywhere with slight course tweaks every year including just simple growth of the foliage.

like I said, I know the answer.

I still don't agree :D

See ya in 13 days Chuck

He did not play the first round.

A score of 126 represents 72 over par (4 plus par every hole missed).

The system doesn't understand that you shouldn't rate that.

It will be fixed at the offical ratings.

Good shootin Robert, and congrats to all the winners. Missed you guys, and gals this weekend. Kyle shot the mess out that time. Can anybody get hold of him and get confirmation if he is going to Milwaukee? Have him pm me. Thanks

he IS going to worlds.

where were you?

congraTTs HALton... NC win #2

Thanks Juff! And thanks to Jack, Jerry, Skeets, Ed, Norm and everybody else who had a hand in pulling this thing off at the last minute. You guys did a great job, especially considering the short amount of prep time and limited experience with sanctioned tournaments. I was very happy to hold on for the win this weekend, I got my first adv win here at the 05 Big Valley Challenge. That was the same year Sjur took out Diamond Dave and GTW; some all-time record round ratings were set by Dome, Special Ed and Sheffy; and Kyle Jackson won intermediate (on crutches). :eek:
Congrats to all of this weekend's winners, and Good luck at worlds Kyle!!!! Bring it back to NC!!!

once again, congrats hal.

man it was a fun battle we had this weekend.

Even though the start I had did me in, it seemed even when I got hot I couldn't get a stroke on you. You threw the shots when it mattered, signs of a true winner.

Thanks to everyone that came out. Even though the field was small I think everyone had a good time. We learned some valuable lessons and we'll have our stuff together for the Bull City Showdown in November.

Big Halt!!! NC ROY

Good luck at worlds Kyle!!!

I had a great time playing this course, those longs are great. I would like to thank the whole Bull City Crew, especially Roachman...It was good to finally get some rounds together.

Congrats to Erike on the his 1st tourney/win (someone get that kid a bag).

Also want to say special congrats to Stephanie for taking down TJ! ;)

has this event been turned in to the PDGA yet?

If not, if you guys have any questions about the TD report, please feel free to get in touch with me.

Keatts mailed it in I believe.
