I plan on being there!! One of the areas long standing events at one of the areas best courses.....and NOT in 100+ dgree weather this year :D

Should be fun!!!!

Thanks to th early sponsors...Windriders ($1000), Sherri Logan (time), Carinos/Albert (food), Jerry El Chile Perez ($150), Ron Klein ($250), Marcace ($250), Triple J's Brewery, City of Lubbock Parks department, Titledisc(up soon hopefully), Red Bull, Larry Foster (course maintenance and more), and some I'm probably forgeting and many more to come!! This is my first time to be a T.D. so cut me some slack :D

What would really be cool is to have two good rounds on Saturday and a Tech win over the poor aggies that Saturday evening. Speaking of the aggies, ya'll are all welcome to come to Lubbock for the tourney and still make the game as I think it is to be a 6:00 kickoff...the stadium is a short drive from the course. I think we should add ten strokes to all aggie supporters who play in the BAB...IF the aggies win over Tech. Ha.

BIG BUCKS ON THE BRAZOS is alive and well again this year. This will be the biggest payout ever for the BAB. I must stress that the field will be limited to 96 players. There will be camping allowed in the park inside the compound where headquarters will be located. I am currently working on stamped discs and tee shirts. I am trying to give 1000 dollars to the open winner, a basket to the advance winner, a bag to the am winner, and 500 dollars to the master champ, and 300 dollars to the open woman champ. There will also be trophies atleast to the division winners. Title disc should be up soon. DO NOT MISS THIS EVENT- DO NOT WAIT TO SIGN UP- WE WILL FILL THIS EVENT.

Tech sure beat up on SMU, we'll see about UTEP this weekend (24 pt favorites). Those Aggies are again coming to Lubbock to the tough crowd on October 13. C'mon DG playing Aggie fans, come out and play a good tough DG course in Lubbock. I've played Research Park and the others many times....my daughter is a A&M grad :(...was tough on a Texas Tech Red Raider through and through.

Is the WORLD CHAMP going to be there?? I would love to meet him one day......

You guys are funny!!!

PLEASE tell me somebody wants some of this $$$$$$. It will be given away regardless of who shows up!!!! Don't be askeert. JD,Maceman, ElChile, anyone....bueller, bueller, bueller........

Alittle bird told me Cruzita, PDP, And a few other ex-Lubbock Big Arms are coming home to try and win some $$$$. BRING IT !!!!!

Sponsorship now in the range of 3500-4000. $ 2500 added cash alone. Don't miss out boys and girls !!! Little arms need not apply !!!

if your planning on getting a hotel room for this tournament you better reserve it now. Texas a&m will be playing Tech that weekend and rooms will be scarce. We as a club will put up as many people as we can. I will make a list this weekend of people who are willing to put golfers up. camping at couse also...

I will be at BAB, because that's where the money is. Can't wait! Are we going the play some poker?

Marcus did you get those tickets to the football game?
Tech and A&M?

Alittle bird told me Cruzita, PDP, And a few other ex-Lubbock Big Arms are coming home to try and win some $$$$. BRING IT !!!!!


Are you sure about Cruz? His wife has him by the Balls!
PDP has a gas guzzler it will cost him about $400.00 Dollars in gas alone.

I think we're going to have a pretty good mix of players this year. I know that Tom from El Paso is coming. I hoping that he can coax NM new hottest player out of White Sands to come also. I heard that Rick Kapalco from Albuquerque is coming. I'm pretty sure that Jerry Harrison is coming. I know that many, many NM players said that the BAB was in the plans this year. I'll be headed to NM prior to tourney time, so I'll coax them some more...especially some of the Santa Fe and Taos players. We very possibly will have an advance grand master division if a few players come out of the woodwork. Marcus, who else is coming? I just secured an $800 sponsor! I'll be getting many more by tourney time!

Did ya'll see the article on our very own Rob Lee, Advanced Sr. Grand Master World Chapion in Disc Golf World? Yep, his first tourney was the Big Arms on the Brazos!

Will that bagger play pro grand master? :D

Talked to all the movers and shakers from Lubbock this weekend.....everyone sounds excited about BAB this year. Should be fun....don't miss out!!

Hey, Lubbock players whats the weather looking like?

Weather is gorgeous!!! Course is green. They should be mowing soon. Trophies are spectacular. Shirts to first 75 registered and all sponsors. :Dtitledisc???? :mad:You can mail your entries to 5001 Chicago ave. apt. 412 Lbbk, Tx 79414. jr=20, rec-33, int-43, adv-53, pro-63. add $5 for ace pot, will be divided btwn rec tee's/ pro tee's and add $5 for non-PDGA members. It is filling fast....it will fill !!! Players list soon.. See everyone real soon :D :D

You have me sign up right ;) see ya soon. Tell Sheri that the poker game is on :cool:

I am proud to say that I WILL be making a return to Lubbock this year for the BAB!!! I am soooo stoked! When will Titledisc be up?

Nate are you making it down to octoberfest??

I think the old man, Rob, is content as and am. He and others of vintage age just don't get to play against many peers with the exception of a World's event. It is likely that the BAB will be offering the am grandmaster division....now that would be cool to have 10-12 players over 50!

#@$%! - The TEXAS TECH vs a&m game has been moved to 2:30 pm on Saturday. There goes several players. We must schedule better (hint, hint).

Weather - 12th forcast is at 81/52 (10 days away). Generally, we are a little warmer this year...here are the averages and records for Lubbock on Oct 13/14.

I don't have plans to make down there but you never know!

That stinks. My wife was going to come with me so we could go to the game but I don't think she will come now. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

octoberfest is this weekend in Red Rock tx...you should come down, i don't think the competition's gonna be all that steep considering so many big dogs are at the USDGC this weekend

Ohhh thats right. I remember you saying that to me last week. I am not sure on that homey, I am traveling up to Lubbock next weekend for the BAB. It might be kind of hard to get two in a row.

The poker game is definitely on :DYou better bring an extra arm because the course will play approx. 9000ft. for both rounds Sat. and 10,000 ft. on Sun. morning :eek:

Is that 24 holes or just 21?

24 :p

I was curious of the distance with the extra holes.

The present layout, for the most part, will be used for round 1 & round 2. We are in the MLS, as in Medium/Long/Short (beginning on hole 1) layout. Four the Sunday round 3 we will have the baskets, for the most part, in the longest of our triple basket positions.

So, for round 1 and 2 rec = 6615', round 3 rec = 7850', round 1 and 2 pro = 8746', and round 3 pro = 10145'.

And for those of you who have not had the chance to play Mackenzie...we have about five holes that have considerable water hazard (Brazos river runs through it), three good elevation cliff shot holes (and some with some minor elevation up and down, up and over, or on the side), mowed grass areas, challenging terrain (yes, cactus, mesquite, etc) areas, some tight holes, some tunnel shots, and definetly some big arm areas. The course lies in a shallow canyon area of the Brazos River, so the course is subject to high wind on over half of the course....but usually, this time of year the winds are minimal (likely none to little wind in the mornings, maybe 10-15 mph in the afternoon round).

ok i just noticed that this tournament is 3 rounds with no final 9. can someone give me a decent ballpark guess at when things will be done on sunday so that people can travel home?? i'm trying right now to decide on whether to play the corpus christi tournament or make the hike up to lubbock and having an idea of when things will be over on sunday will really help me out.

I personally love to run and see final nines....so cool to see how to really throw discs. BUT, Marcus really wanted to take actions to get players headed back home as early as possible. We'll try to start promptly on time, get things done as quickly as possible after the round, and send the out of towners on their way. Not having a final nine was an easy way to cut an hour off of the departure times. Basically, were offering/challenging out of towners to take a great payout home...and early at that. We'll do the post tourney partying in Lubbock for you.

Payout will be done Sat. p.m. :cool:I will try to get everyone on the road by 2 or 3p.m. PAYOUT IS LOOKING PHAT FOR ALL....BETTER THAN SOME A-TIERS :o

shoudl that say payout will be posted sat PM?? how can it be done with a round on Sunday? :D

also is this 3 rounds of 24?

SHUT UP!! Yes 3 rounds of 24 :Dwhat do you care Mr. Big Arm who never plays the BIG ARMS :confused:

still debating on this one. you got floor space still?

You can stay in Jerry's room :D Hope you can make it bro!!

OK Frisbee freaks this thing is going to be off the hook :cool:I am getting calls from all over.....can't wait to see everyone and take their $$$

Is Gordo coming down?

Can't wait! :cool:So flex start for doubles?

Ware bring your Poker Face :D;)

Yes, Gordo will be participating in this crush fest :D

titleDISC.com is updated with this year's BAB entry page. If anything looks out of place, please let me know and I'll get it taken care of.

If your going to use Titledisc you better hurry it will shut down on the 10th....sorry for such short notice...it was out of my hands...thanx titledisc :(

I spoke with Ben and he said he was still waiting on a confirmation from you... It doesn't really matter now, it's all up and running. Please go check it out and make sure it's all 100% correct. Since we didn't have the confirmation email from you, we don't know for sure. Hopefully it's okay :)

I never recieved any e-mails or calls from Ben regarding anything but, like you said it doesn't matter now ! Thanx for getting it up and running, everything looks great :D

So flex start for doubles?

??

I just sign up on titledisc.com :cool:

yes flex, flex, flex.....3pm-5pm......$20 am/team...$30 pro/team. ju coming?? :confused:

not sure yet running it by my better half now...

ju got floor space?

Sorry for the miscommunication, and I'm glad it looks good. I'll be making some changes to the site over the next few weeks. Hopefully those changes will improve the way tournaments get set up and activated.

Anyway, I wish I could make it to the BAB this year. it's been awhile since I've played out there in L-Town. In fact, the last time I played, I stayed with MARCACE himself :) (thanks for the couch, BTW.. it was a few years ago but I still remember the hospitality). Enjoy it and if anything changes, I will sign up on titledisc.com ;)

Yes at Sherri's, that is where all the real Big Arms will be....not me though :(

I appreciate the props and the assisstance with everything :)

Not quite the comp as Colorado States but, we have more added cash and chances are better of winning :cool:

We need more open women...Sheila Kirkham,NM; Jennifer Allen, OK, ..... who wants some!! Guaranteed $ 300 to winner :D

yeah i know the added cash is definately a good thing for this tournament....i'm trying to decide whether to make the long haul from san antonio up to lubbock or to just go play in the tournament in corpus christi. that's why i'm asking about numbers of open players and which big names are there.

Word has it Nolan and possibly Coda will be here. JD usually comes but, haven't heard from him. PDP, Vinnie, Joe T., Ellsworth, Pepper, some I'm forgetting.

I am going to win...Mention me...Don't forget, I called it. :D

I am going to win...Mention me...Don't forget, I called it. :D




I'm going to win this weekend. It won't be in Lubbock though. Heck it won't even be in Corpus.

Marcus, is the Tech and Texas A&M game move to a 2:30pm. game start?

yes, the game is moved to 2:30 :(

Matt...Where will you be winning this weekend?

You better sell them tickets

Sold them for $200 a piece :cool:I just recieved word of another $500 dollar sponsor....thankyou Jeff O, a long time friend and Big Arm sponsor :) Can I get a BLING ! BLING! ....$3000 YEAH BABY /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

bling bling donkey man :D

HEE HAW :D

So how's the player list looking like?

I'm guessing 55-60 now but, I've gotten a ton of calls !! Ron said he is going to try and bring some guy named Sprague ?? No worries mate, the less players we have the more $$$ for us to split :DI'm worried it might overfill and I hate 5 -somes but I might do a few :mad:

Joe Torres and I will be heading out friday by 11am.

Thanx my other long time friend and annual sponsor of the BIG ARMS. Who's year is it to win Masters this time ? :o

yes, the game is moved to 2:30 :(

Matt...Where will you be winning this weekend?




Macgregor. :D

Thought you were going to Corpus?

Thought you were going to Corpus?



Nah, I think I will sleep a little this week instead and Play the fundraiser. I have way too much work to be able to finish by Friday anyway.

I hope so my daughter is getting married Oct. 27th. and I need the money ;) :)

Is a players list going to be posted before the tournament??

yes, at tee time :Dsorry!! I heard today that the Grider brothers will be attending this year. J.D. you coming? Noone should worry about the open divisions, with the added cash it equals out to be approx. 50 added players :eek:

do you know the numbers of the open division? i'm just curious how many so far are gonna be there...if you don't, no biggie

I think that the 2007 BAB will be 'top heavy'....there will be many pro and pro master players. Marcus is really pulling all stops, working his tail off at the course, donating money and time. Pro players will be crazy not to make this one. Well, and then us low life am players are already crazy, and we're coming anyway.

Weather:

Fri Oct 12 Sunny 87�/58� 10% From the South 17mph

Sat Oct 13 Sunny / Wind 87�/59� 0% From the South Southwest 23mph

Sun Oct 14 Sunny 83�/52� 10% From the Southwest 16mph

BAB....................................Doooo It!

scores ???? :D

nate whats up??

Scores will be up at approx 9:30 p.m. ...thanx to Jerry Kingston :DWeather man I'm not worthy of your weather predictions :p

dont doubt the waretheman!!! :D how about some top scores for the big dogs?? I might be a sleep by 9:30 /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Scores are up

thanks Jerry

Lets go Perez :confused:

Nice first round Marcus..

Round Rock!

I just heard that Coda won open

Scores and payouts are up...

Wow. :D

Okay, more than 'wow'....85 players that included 29 pro players (19 in open alone, 3 women, 7 masters). Marcus came through with the promise of $1,000 to the open winner, Coda Hatfield. Payouts across all divisions were very generous. I'm proud that we did have the adv grand masters division with seven players....seven players over 50 years old, pretty cool. Vicente and Greg Brooks tied and went to a three hole playoff to an eventual Greg win. What a way to start this division offering! The weather was generall good with a little more wind than wanted on Saturday (only a little on Sunday). I think everyone had a great time. MARK your calendars right now for the BAB in October 2008. (I want to really expand the grand masters and to really expand all womens divisions).

You guys did a great job all across the board. The most impressive thikng was the quickness in which the tourney was ran. Players meetings were short and to the point and cards did not take for ever to be distributed. With the exception of the raffle, I could have been on the road by 2ish!! The Windriders, Marcus, and Sherri did a wonderful job and it was great to see you guys again! Can't wait until next year!

Did titledisc ever get with you Marcus? I will NEVER!!!!! use titledisc ever again that sorry arse company!!! :mad:Titledisc SUCKKKSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never felt so embarrsed.

Thanks to Marcus and Sherri for running a great tournament (it gets easier the second time around :D). Lots of little things that went into making the tournament great (10m cirlces, OB clearly marked, course in great shape overall, etc.). Everything was timly and smoothe, and that makes a big impression (as Nate eluded to). And, everything ran smoothly with EVERYONE on the staff also playing the event.

Payout was BIG! For the Am's, it was roughly 160% of what they paid in, and for the Pro's....a ridiculous 225%!! There was over $2,600 added to the Pro's alone :eek: Those numbers rival some A-Tiers.....

Thanks to Bo Neill for putting me up for the weekend. Thanks to Coda Hatfield and Jennifer Allen for some entertaining converstation Saturday night. :D Good to meet Nate Bitner and his fiancee (sorry, dont remember her name :()

Big props to the Lubbock Windriders Club for supporting the TD's and pulling off a great event. I'm glad I could be apart of it and help out.

She is actually my wife as of August 13th and her name is Amanda!! I wish we could have chatted longer. Maybe next tourney! :D

Did titledisc ever get with you Marcus? I will NEVER!!!!! use titledisc ever again that sorry arse company!!! :mad:Titledisc SUCKKKSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never felt so embarrsed.


Easy there, big fella... TitleDISC is changing ownership this week. It will be in my hands from now on. I don't yet know what happened with your issue, but I promise that it won't be a problem moving forward. I'll be making some big changes to it as soon as Ben and I can finalize the transition. If you have a problem that needs to be resolved, please let me know and I'll get it taken care of. I'm sorry that you had a bad experience, but rest assured that I"ll do everything I can to make it right. Please don't hold it against titledisc... I definitely don't want bad press right as I take the reigns :). Feel free to PM me or email me about the issue whenever you like.

By the way...the new basket I won in the raffle, is super sweet!!! I can putt from my computer room to the formal dining with ease!! :cool:

Look at Nolans last round

Yeah, he tore it up that round. With my best game, I could have maybe shot a 72 on Sunday....a 64 is RIDICULOUS!!! Of course, he is rated about 9 throws better than I am too ;) Probably has something to do with it.....

I was in Lubbock today to do some work and went by to see this course for the first time and I was totally impressed with the beautiful park and the killer course in it. Must have been a crazy tournament. Wish I had been there to see Coda and Nolan duke it out ( which I expect them to do here at the VPO ). Would it be possible for you to post Nolan's hole by hole scores on that last round?
P.S.
I lost my favorite disc of all time on hole 4 when I hit a tree and glanced in the water right at the edge at the start of the reeds. It's a 145 pink ( ) Wraith with Stephanie Cantrells name on it. She traded it to me and I'll give anyone $10 that brings it with them to the VPO.

All I have are the round scores. Marcus has the cards.

Yes, Nolan did shoot a sick round and that was with two bogeys! Here are his scores with hole distances first. 1-389ft.=2, 2-983ft.=3, x-280ft.=2, y-320ft.=2, 3-895ft.=ob5,4-443ft.=2, z-258ft.=2, 5-500ft.=3,6-333ft.=3, 7-290ft.=3, 8-256ft.=2, 9-415ft.=3 FRONT 12=32/ PAR 39 10-441FT.=3, 11-470FT.=4, 12-394FT.=2, 13-373FT.=3, 14-395FT.=2, 15-582FT.=3, 16-394FT.=2, 17-441FT.=3, 18-408FT.=3, 19-305FT.=3, 20-263FT.=2, 21-350FT.=2 BACK 12=32/PAR 36.

If I come across your disc I'll save it for you or send it to you.

No, Thankyou Jerry Kingston. You are the man :) If any other club/tourneys need help with scoring give him a call and he would be a great addition to any tourneys staff. Also, thanks to everyone who helped add/check score cards! i can't thank Sherri enough for all she did and put up with...and thanx for being so fair.....I got stoked for misadding my score card again and Vinnie even checked it for me :confused: Thanks to all the Windriders who helped with moving baskets, water..etc. A special thanks to Jon Lee for donating like 30 discs for ctps. Thanks to all the sponsors again :D We set the bar high for this touney next year...I hope more players will come afterhearing how great the course and tourney was. yes, everyone was on the road by 3:00 p.m. Thanks to all who came from out of town. I'm sure i'm forgetting someone...thank you all, it was a blast !!!

Thanks for those scores, Marcace. That was a sick round for sure. If he had done that well on his last round at the USDGC he would have brought home thousands. :D
A three on #2?? jeeez!!
I'm TDing the VPO and if you have anyone coming that could bring that disc I'd flip out. thanks

Disc found :D Next time your in L-Town give me a call and we can go play a round and I'll give you your disc....bought it back from Play it Again 4.99 :D

I got curious about just how good the payout at the BAB was this year, so I did some checking last night. The BAB has the 5th largest Pro purse and the 3rd highest purse-per-player ratio of all the 304 B-Tier events reported so far! I dont have access to the AM payouts, but I bet they would rank highly as well.

Just another example of the phatness of the BAB!! :D

Heck....I won an A teir after winning the lil B teir ran in Lubbuck and got paid more in Lubbuck
