Oops! Posted a little too fast. The new movie will be up later today- at least that's what I'm told. Everything else should be good.

at sugaw on holes 2 and 8 is it played sidewalk and beyond ob?

: ) :

at sugaw on holes 2 and 8 is it played sidewalk and beyond ob?

: ) :



it is played this way throughout the entire course if I remember correctly

for the points banaza that is how they played it friar. hole's 1, 2, and 8 it was sidewalk and beyond. i got 1 real lucky kick (right kick not left kick) on hole 2.

friar and big wave you guys headed this way for the open?

wouldn't miss it monty.

: ) :

I'll be at the Open this year!

ME TOO!!! Then ill be trying to Monday Qual for USDGC!!! Anybody want to help a brother out and caddy on Monday???

1,2,8 and 18-sidewalk and beyond is OB. Also, all roads are OB. I love Sugar Creek. Have fun playing it!

ME TOO!!! Then ill be trying to Monday Qual for USDGC!!! Anybody want to help a brother out and caddy on Monday???


do you really want a caddy?

Yes!!! I wouldnt ask if I didnt want one.

He needs a little fella on each shoulder... <font color="red">"Go for it!"</font> - <font color="green"> "Don't listen to him, lay up!"</font> - <font color="red"> "Ignore the fraidy cat, be a MAN!" </font> - <font color="green"> "Oh dear, this won't be good..." </font>

Don't forget about the mando on 9 and 17 plus the big OB garden on 9. Road comes in play on 1 (3 and 4 with really wild shoots) 10, 11, 12 and 18.

Plus the path is OB on 3. Seen many a disc end up over there.

Yes!!! I wouldnt ask if I didnt want one.


i might be able to be talked into helping you out

bump

saw the list was up and wow did it get a lot of people fast!

Put my check in the mail today!

Can I get a bump? 78 playas with 3 weeks to go.

3 weeks! Gonna be great fun!

check is in the mail, looking forward to playing a great course..

JJ

CAnt believe Im gonna miss this great event on one of the best courses in the world!! boooo on me!!! Hope everyone has a blast kickin it with the best volunteers in the SOUTH!! North CArolina ROCs...Take it down STAN and BArd and JO JO!!!

There is a spot up for grabs to the US Disc Golf Championship



Any plans on identifying by some method the players on the "currently registered" list that are already USDGC qualified?

48 of 72 for the Pro's
50 of 90 for the Am's

Only 19 days too go!

i saw the new 9 on the virtual tour, and i was wondering why the basket is so high? it looks like i couldnt even reach it to get my disc out of the basket...

JJ

you cant, you have to make a human ladder to get anything out of their

There are 5 cheerleaders who will be there the whole weekend to make a human pyramid (you on top)

Oh yeah, forgot... they are male cheerleaders.

i saw the new 9 on the virtual tour, and i was wondering why the basket is so high? it looks like i couldnt even reach it to get my disc out of the basket...



The hardest eight foot putt I have ever taken. # 8 is the same way too.

Thinking my chances of Monday qualifying have dropped dramaticaly, might have to play the Nest.

The front of the Nest is playing real easy right now. Shot a 23 and missed 1, 2, 3, 6 (bad putt).

The back is playing as it always has, cost me some strokes, but they were my mistakes. Went 2,3 (gack), SEVEN, 4 (doh!), 2, 3, 4, 2, 2. It's all there and my 52 could have EASILY been a 47.

It's there. Holes 6, 7, and 9 are now 6, 8, and 9, and I would say that anyone could birdie all three, whereas before it was pretty much Power, Lefty, Lefty for the old holes.

just wanted to wish everyone playing good luck! i'm gonna miss playing this tournament this year unfortunately :(

money is been sent by pay pal to CDGC@CharlotteDGC.com
See yah soon

Just making an enquiry on the off chance that someone can help. I'm playing Pro Masters at the Charlotte Open, and looking to work out travel and accommodation.

I am flying from Britain into Charlotte on Thursday and would love to hook up with someone to share accommodation and transport. Might be someone living locally or someone staying at the tournament hotel. I would much rather share some costs than hire a car and try to navigate my way round Charlotte whilst jet-lagged.

I'll be heading off to Rock Hill on Sunday.

the field is looking great - I love the large field!!

Any word on 6, 8 and 9.

Will they be the same as they were during the PBs?

yes 6 will more than likely be a temp basket that will play to almost the old hole and 8 is the same and 9 will be a little longer but not much due to the construction in the park, but we do atleast have fly pads for those holes now
mj

only 5 spots left on the Pro side!!! The kickoff to CHAMPIONSHIP WEEK is almost here!!!

lets start some predictions (score for the win... score for the qualifier spot)

win - 190
qualifier - (whatever Stan shoots)

does anyone know if the payout has or will improve.

I thought last year was weak for the winner.

no....

here is what is posted on the charlotte message board...

"69 in Open (1 spot left....there are some unconfirmed rumors of some dropping out, though)

79 Amateurs. (only 11 spots left).

Mail has not showed up yet today."

However, I asume he meant there are 3 spots left, but not sure.

You should def. try and play. One of the best courses in the world and the perfect mix of open and wooded golf you will ever see.

Eric If you are going to make it.....call me (I can pm you my number) It would be nice to be around friends.

um.........bump

Is there anyone that can provide a ride for me from the airport to Microtel North Wednesday? My flight arrives at 2:50 in the afternoon. I appreciate any help!

I cant wait to play the course again! It is definitely one of my favorites. :D

Has any of the notables dropped out yet ? I heard from a few of them that they were thinking of not playing.
Cary

Pretty cool to offer the spot. Go get it MTL!...nice 1st round. Good luck w/ the rest.

thanks John!!

Struggled the second round, but still having a blast!!!

Sadly even if I am lucky enough to get a prestigous spot in the USDGC, I would not be able to accept it. Gotta work...

oh well, Next year!

Looks like Mcracken will goin for it. Country Course representin.

Mini Thumber

just got done watching the Renny Clash DVD... good stuff!

see everyone on the course tomorrow and my $ is still on Stan for the USDGC spot.

yeah HAL

1. Bennett- you're supposed to win the DGC, not Charlotte. Cool it.

2. Climo and Feldberg DNF? First missed cash for champy since 89?

good shootin Doug and Andy!

HEY, my people.... If anyone out there can do me a favor, it would be really great. I am in a hotel in Bergen, Norway and I have a crack-a-dawn flight...You guys are 6 hours back from me soooo...Can someone call or tell Bard that I missed the first flight to Copenhagen and I will be arriving in Charlotte at around 6:30pm on Monday instead of 8:30 am...Tell him i will call from somewhere to let him know the exact time..
bard: 203-247-8625...

Congratulations on the win MJ

... Geoff Bennett takes the USDGC spot by 1 stroke over the Mule by shooting a 46 in the final round!

MJ wins Pro
Libby wins Pro Women
Stan wins Masters
Rusty Earle wins Advanced
...

ten seventy five Bennett- yesssir thats some throwin!

thought maybe he needed to win a place in the dgc since his name had no "Q" next to it....

thanks to the CDGC for another great event!!

Maybe one of these days I'll cash in Charlotte and get to thanks Craig and Lisa for putting me up in the awards AND on the board instead of just on the board...thanks guys!!

Good luck to everyone who is town for the open and it was great playing with some out of town guys this weekend!!

I lost two discs today at the nest that I would love to have back.

A Glo Eagle on 12 (about 50 - 75 feet left of fairway about 50 - 75 short of pin high - imagine a bad agressive second shot)

A White Champion Orc with a green stamp across the road on 7 ( a sky roller that cut left around the 2nd tree).

The Eagle has a RADL stamp on it and has myname on the inside lip.

The Orc has my name on the inside lip and LL 3832 on the top ( I bought it off of Larry).

If someone finds them, please contact me.

Yea KING, looks like another best round ever.

How many strokes did he beat the old course record by?

well the record is 44, Geoff shot 46.

However, this technically is the record b/c there some changes to the course.

But the course is easier than it was before :D

A great round none the less.

MTL... so you took 2 stroke and distance penalties?! that wasnt in the same round was it?! OUCH

will let you know if they turn up

and as of a week before the tourney MJ had shot a 43 and a couple 44s out there (on the new layout)

MTL... so you took 2 stroke and distance penalties?! that wasnt in the same round was it?! OUCH





no thank goodness!!

the eagle was between rounds and the orc the entire group saw the disc go out of bounds, therefore I played it as an OB stroke.

It is the same thing as a disc going in a lake - you lose it, but you play normal OB rules.

A tasty 46 it must have been. Geoff told me last week he wasn't planning on having to qualify on Monday. Guess he was right.

Leaving with Critter and Liz later today. Woo Hoo.

DS, hold down the fort tonight. Toss a few bulls for me and say hi to the clubhousers.

Joe

guess that takes the sting off a little... nothing like losing your discs and getting stroked for it.

nice start-to-finish michael

FYI- Since all rounds were on the same layout, scores from all four rounds will be used to determine the ratings. So ratings in R1 &amp; R4 will be a little lower and R2 &amp; R3 a little higher. A score of 51 will end up about 1026.

well the record is 44, Geoff shot 46.

However, this technically is the record b/c there some changes to the course.

But the course is easier than it was before :D

A great round none the less.



Ah, too bad. 1075 is his highest rated round yet. Hopefully it does not drop hard.

Joe, the fort is safe. Have fun down there! Hopefully the lead card footage will include the KING.

I'm thinking the 1075 might ease back to 1071 or 1072. Still very hot.
