http://www.shaveyourhead.com/2007/103_goat1.jpg


Someone hung a goat on the harry statue outside wrigley today

That isn't for the message board, nor the USDGC thread...that's messed up.

I can't get the scoreboard, live radio or DOTS to work...any sugestions?

(sitting at 13 tee)

I think they are picking it up on 14's tee. :p

i cant even get to the site

Radio guys just said there was going to be some site maintenance and the main page would be down for a bit. If you had radio open already, it's still going, but I can't get to the rest of the site yet either.

Hey radio guys, let us know when the site's back. I needs me some dots.

Web radio said the site will be down for a few minutes as they try to reset/reboot.

O.K. - Dots are back
Can't get the radio show though.

Looks like Franks is giving back a few on 10.

The site is back up now

The site is back up now

Great job guys, listening here are there whenever I get a chance.

I cant even load a page from the site. :confused:

Brinster cans a big uphill putt on 12
Barry clips a tree on his 13 tee but stays inbounds

Updated scores are here...the leader and second cards will be updated in about 5-10 minutes...leader card is aproaching 12s basket & update occurs at 13 tee
http://www.discgolfunited.com/index.cfm?DGUaction=Leaderboard.Overall&thisLayout =YES

Scoring is so cool, when it works. Think scaling.

Appreciate the work though.

Good to know...So they are updating at 7 and 13 during the rounds?

The entire third card keeps their drives inbounds on the 13 tee

Mace, suggest mentioning the full name of the person you're talking with every few minutes so that those tuning in know who they are listening to.

Thanks for these updates Alex!

Leader card is being scanned right now...

Somebody has upset the DOTS, we have no more DOTS, somebody get some new DOTS, where are the DOTS.

Mini Thumber :(

This is way more fun then my triple circle 9 on 17. :(

Are you out there with a blackberry or something Alex?

Robert, and Alex, go....find....some DOTS

Oops...Brinster misses the island on 14...makes a good recovery shot from the drop

I love snowboarding down Solitude Hole #18! That's AWESOME....and yes its an awesome DG hole as well!

Schwebby & Brinster bogies 14
Climo gets his bird - Not sure if Avery & Feldberg hit for birdie or par

He must be on his IPhone.

Rico pars 14 -
I'm blind...looks like a par for Rico & Jenkins. (disregard Feldberg post above)

dots are back.

Nate eagles 12.
Randolph plays safe gets a birdie
Tank goes for eagle, throws ob, but saves par
Jesper missed short eagle putt

current lead card

nate - 12
ken -11
Jesper and Mike - 10

Third card is putting on 14...

DOTS not working anymore?

DOTS not working anymore?



nevermind, they're back.

Matt O hits the basket from 55 & gets his 3
Mela 3s
McCray 3s
Gurthie kisses the chains and also 3s

13 off the tee

tank ob

rest are safe

Matt O hits the basket from 55 & gets his 3
Mela 3s
McCray 3s
Gurthie kisses the chains and also 3s



Thanks for the real time updates Alex!

I think if they were to take out all the local tournaments it would stop a lot of casual players from being able to compete. Would only cater to the Pro players.

Alex Rocks! :cool:

Canada Eh?

Franks only one inbound @ #14?

That smokin 58 is now a 1067 rated round,... going down in rating as more scores come in.

Hit the Crusty Button Again

Grab that Cash and Run YETI!

I'm staying in my dorm room instead of going and doing something else.
Are there any chances that they could change the tournament like a ball golf tournament and do Thursday through Sunday so us that have to go to class or work can make it down two days? I'm sure it has something to do with ♦Winthrop rather the actual tournament.

:) And it is pronounced von Drell

As soon as 5:00 hits i am going to play doubles leage at oak park in wichita ks

Sorry i wont stick around



I wish i could get one of those Rocs but i dont know anybody out there.

It has to do with the Spectator Day on Sunday

Ah makes sense.

Questions for Brian Graham tomorrow:

1.Got a Asst. Course Supervisor Job for Fish?!

2.Should I start Monday?!

I've stayed late to listen to you. Great job! I wish I could make it to NC. Brian why don't you play tourney's anymore?

Do you feel that the weather conditions earlier contributed to the split that we are now seeing with all these low scores starting to come in?

that 58 today drop another rating point,.. it's now a 1066 round.

Being burned out is the reason I have become a caddie. Being there with my son is much more fun although just as stressfull.

Anybody mentioned that with the live dots we don't get to see the putting? At least *I* don't.

Running tourneys isn't just a weekend thing. It takes alot more time than the 3 or 4 rounds takes.

Ya I'm only seeing the putting after they finish out the hole...I have to go to archived and even then its a crap shoot

you can see the putting in the hole archive. Dot out

Definitely. I know the TD of our tournament in Hickory, Dan Mitchell, starting working on things a good couple of months before the tournament.

Do you know if they going to do the distance over the water like they did last year.

they do that every year

WOW, Climo is back.

Question for Dave G.:

Have you noticed as you have *matured* over time, has there been any affect on the types of discs you use or the weights?

For example, do you see many other younger pros throwing as many Sidewinders or other unrstable discs as you?

Thanks!

Dave needs to get just a little bit closer to the mic.

Double circle 7 on 17, TanK, ouch!

Have fun man, have fun!!

Did Randolph hit the basket on 17?

GO Team Gateway!

All scores are in! Nice rounds coming in at the end of the day.

Should be an exciting lead group tomorrow.

Did Randolph hit the basket on 17?


Wondering that myself... the dot looked like it.

Get Mikey in there to interview! What's he throwing w/ the altitude change? Is the sky streak in the bag? :)

they dont do distance over the water at winthrop anymore its at a lighted field

This Dot stuff is nifty, and my fried Mike Norris is helping with it. Go Mike, Thanks for allllll yooooo doooo.Maybe I should be a Dot for Halloween. LOL

Mini and Multiple Thumber

Last year they just did like a fun distance thing afterwards. I don't believe it counted as far as the distance contest goes.

I think they still do the Kicker Distance Shootout over the water on Saturday before awards.

still throw across the water at the finals

Hey Mace, ask Nate about the Chains movie!!

Why isnt there ant lefty's in the top 50 players that i have heard of?

and go nate finish strong Go discraft!!!

Why isnt there ant lefty's in the top 50 players that i have heard of?

Geoff Bennet should count as a lefty, and he's in the top 10

You rock Brian!

Geoff Bennet should count as a lefty, and he's in the top 10



But if he isnt a true lefty...
and thats 1 of 50

That is the funniest thing I have heard all day!

Thanks Brian!

For all you out there that dont know Paul Bellier, he is
the man! One cool canadian!

Why isnt there ant lefty's in the top 50 players that i have heard of?

and go nate finish strong Go discraft!!!



John Child, one of the two folks to shoot a 58 today, is a true lefty... he's also from Nate's part of the country(although about a two hour drive away). Go Norcal!!

Joe Mela is a lefty, he's in 21st

Why isnt there ant lefty's in the top 50 players that i have heard of?

and go nate finish strong Go discraft!!!


Because hay bales and Scott "Retirement Home" Martin just don't get along.

Did Randolph hit the basket on 17?


Wondering that myself... the dot looked like it.

Get Mikey in there to interview! What's he throwing w/ the altitude change? Is the sky streak in the bag? :)



Does Randolph carry a Sky Streak? I thought I was the only person left who carried one of those. Hooray for old school!!!!

Joe Mela is a lefty, he's in 21st



by top fifty i i wasn't talking about this tourney more over all. Dont get me wrong there are some good leftys just not many of us :(

I just left the DR's Office, he said I have Dotmania, and Rx a weekend at USDG. HooRay

Mini and Multiple Thumber

From a prior Rocky post:


This Dot stuff is nifty, and my fried Mike Norris is helping with it.



I know you are a big guy Rocky, and it takes a lot to fill you up, but did you have to fry Mike Norris? As a physician, I could have told you that ingesting that would lead to Dotmania. Jeesh, that's probably why you had to go to the doctor isn't it?

Looks like the top rated lefty isn't playing. That's Keith Warren from Wisconsin at 1016.

Thanks Doc Wig, as you know in the south, we fry everything. Thanks for the observance. Yes that prob caused Dotmania, Mike was a good friend and person, as are you my brother. LOL
Mini and Multiple Thumbers

We are live now>

Crandolph did hit the pole on 17. Said it was pretty nerve-wracking after watching the other 3 go OB, but he's good for stepping back, refocusing on his own shot and then executing with beauty. At least in A-tiers and majors :o:D

And yeah, he does carry a sky streak. We all accuse him of cheating when he throws it (in jest, of course).

Any of you there, take a look at Mikey's legs and see if they're the same size :) He had a blood clot in one of his legs after a mtn biking incident. That's why he now claims that hard boiled eggs and a bottle of white wine is an acceptable breakfast.

Good Advice Mace!!!!


What is EMAC throwing off the tee???

Mace, Sandstrom with the hot round.....64!

Mace- Rico with a -13 on reg baskets and -8 on champ baskets both records on Monster.

hole 1

Mike birdies

everyone else pars

Hole 2

Mike hits tree, early left.
Nate and Kenny Roller, Avery air shot - all three in great shape.

Ken -15
Nate -14
Avery - 13
Mike -13

dots also reporting great weather and great gallery

mike 2nd shot OB
avery is short
ken and nate look perfect.

probably going to be mike 5 avery 4 ken and nate 3

and that is exactly what happened

after 2

ken -16
nate -15
Avery -13
Mike -12

hole 3

mike and nate OB
Avery in the woods
Kenny is perfect

Rock has carded back to back aces on the Monster course during worlds, 5 and 6.

Mike throws another OB and takes a 6, Nate parks re throw, Kenny misses

After 3..

Ken -16
Nate -14
Avery -13
Mike -9

dot notes indicate a group backup on 4

4 good drives on 4

Avery is a bit long of the perferred landing zone and could have a tougher shot.

mike pars

rest of group birdies

Ken -17
Nate -15
Avery -14
Mike -9

and like usual, 3 group back up on 5.

this is always the biggest backup on the course.

Just a quick note on the dots. The performance is vastly improved over yesterday. Whatever tweaks or changes were made has paid off! Thanks (again)!

glad to hear performance is better today. We added a new processor to the machine and also added another 2 GB of ram.

Still a backup on hole 5 right now. Weather is great today with temps sitting at 84 currently. There is a bit of wind here at the lake with speeds approaching 10-15 mph blowing left to right tailwind across the pad.

this just in MTL is agitating the dots.. ;) :p

i agree with stan, things are much smoother today.

dots rock!

Ahh. I knew it couldn't be your software, it had to be the hardware.

:)

2nd card updates.

Greenwell safe off the tee
Feldberg safe off the tee almost to the ditch
Orum with what looked like a putter off the tee safe
Rico using some of the dirt to get a good grip and throwing a forehand and safe.

down to a one group wait.

Mike do you know why the radio feed is not working?
I can get the player and it just says "ready" by the play button.
I was listening all day yesterday.

Avery Jenkins (blue dot) drops off his umbrella with DOT2 cart as it does not appear it will rain today. Val is now caddying for him.

friday dots (http://www.usdgc.com/leadgrouplive/friday/index.html)

First time I've been kicked out :confused: :eek:

leaders are teeing off on 5

Mike do you know why the radio feed is not working?

not really sure not able to listen from the course as we are too close to the players. It works fine in the tech trailer though.

Update on top card though Mike Randolph is not currently with the group it seems he is off for a jog.

randolph has returned to the group he just came running down the road.

mike did you get any ideas of anyone tearing it up on the 2nd or 3rd card during the backup?

4 good drives off the tee to start one of the best and most famous holes in the world

I am on PC and getting the same error as prarie dog. I can't even get to the USDGC home page. Just barely cut out to this error page.

Dots are Moving

Could somebody out there get Mace a Monster or Red Bull


Those Yawns are Contageous

Harold has said hole 5 only rates an 8 out of 9 even though many who consider this hole the best in the World because of the road on the right versus a river along the right side. I agree with Harold that it could be better but still no other hole tops it and it's probably a 9 on the current disc golf scale for holes.

The dots are in the box. :)Rub the box slowly and the dots will appear. :D

climo and avery look perfect to get over the water on thier 3rd.

Nate and Mike have longer shots and may be forced to play safe.

the reason 5 is a great hole is the lack of rope.

The site must be down.

nate plays safe

mikey goes for it and looks good

kenny and avery are good too.

Nate looks to have about a 100 foot upshot, others are putting for birdie

Where did you get the information that the top 135 will make the cut?

Is it written somewhere?

could someone post a link of the scores snd the dots, scine I cant get onto the site. I am also having problems with the radio, it cuts off, and I have to try to restart it every few minutes. FRUSTRATING when Im so excited.

scores...

after 4

Kenny 3333 (-2, -17 overall)
Nate 3343 (-1, -15 overall)
Avery 3433 (-1, -14 overall)
Mike 2564 (+3, -9 overall)

C'mon Mikey!!!!!

it appears all players parred 5...

on 6...

mike a ways out - could have a decision to lay up or go for it
Kenny and avery appear to be about 20 - 30
Nate looks to be parked in the sand

Any word on the 2nd and 3rd cards? If so, could you deliver the scores in a Howard Cosell voice?

once again, no birdies on 6.

I'm not sure if they are missing these putts or just the scores on the left hand side are not correct?

Nate hits the fence on 7, others are putting.

Do you have the 6-hole score update for the lead card to see if it matches the dot scores?

the usdgc site is not working, so no.

once again, on to hole 8 and the scores appear the same.

I just cant imagine that all these guys have missed a short putt every single hole....

The putting green is not showing up on 5, 6, or 7 and that is where the overall scores not updating started.

I enjoyed watching Dr. Doug in the Marshall Street videos.

I'm gonna send a text message to one of the dot guys and ask about it.

Shout out to Dr. Doug! Great round

theres a score update...

Through 7
Kenny -20
Avery -17
Nate -15
Mike -11

Which means that on 5 6 and 7, Kenny was -3
Avery was -3
Nate was E
And Mike was -2

Text read that this stretch was the hardest to do the dots on (I'm asuming b/c the holes play quick).

backup on hole 8

usdgc is back up

jesper is -6 though 6

Barry Cale and Dave are -4 through 6

4 great looking drives on 8

looks like nate has a second dot right beside his tee shot - not sure if this is an error or a second shot that hit a tree really early.

kenny and averys 2nd look perfect
nates 2nd / 3rd looks good as well
mike is short and will have to throw an approach

talk about padding your post count :D

I enjoy doing this...

I've already an email from someone telling me they are glad I am b/c they can't see the dots.

on to 9, no score updates on 8 quite yet.

well it appears the extra dot was an error for nate

nate kenny and avery birdie, mike pars.

Ken -21 (-6)
Avery -18 (-5)
Nate -16 (-2)
Mike -11 (+1)

nate OB on 9

Kenny and Avery are perfect.

mike lays up on the shorter part and is IB.

all upshots looks good on 9.

all putting for birdie except nate who is trying to save par.

no score update quite yet.

nate ob on 10, others are good.

Thanks much for keeping us updated Robert. With usdgc site up and down I've just settled into following the MTL report...... :cool:

no worries!

its making the work day a little quicker!

yeah this is great! thanks for all the hard work with USDGC live updates- im sure youd rather be at work or something....

kenny and avery another great birdie chance
nate looks to have saved par with a great 3rd shot.
mike throws the best drive but shorts his upshot.

this basket is elevated and even tap ins can be tough, so no telling what can happen.

Nate and Mikey sure have had a lot of OB shots today.

Looks like Mike needs to take another jog...

Anyone know how Greenwell is doing?

Scores are now showing as...

Kenny -22 (-7)
Avery -19 (-5)
Nate -14 (E)
Mike -11 (+1)

Not sure if this is after 9 or 10.

In the Live Hole by Hole page, it says that Klimo shot a 2 on 5. Didn't he show a 4 or 5?

all 4 drives are in bounds on 11.

Nate looks to be in the best shape, Kenny in the worse shape as Kenny will have a lot of OB to throw over no matter what shot he chooses.

update from 9...

Nate three putts for a double bogey 6.

mike avery and Kenny all miss birdie putts.

on 10, Ken is parked, tap in birdie

Mike misses from just outsdie the circle, easy par.

nate misses for par, takes a bogey

avery makes birdie

scores are now what they are posted above.

Nate goes OB on 2nd shot on 11.

Avery appears to play safe.

Mike will have a downhill long putt for birdie

Ken throws roller over the OB and will have an uphill look at birdie, still a long putt.

slight drizzle coming down now.

Nate ob on 12

Everyone else is in great shape.

Nate ob on 12

Everyone else is in great shape.



Twice!?!?!

nate ob on 3rd shot
Kenny OB on 2nd shot

both of these near the basket, should be easy up and downs

mike plays safe

avery has an outside shot at eagle.

more than likely Ken will pay, avery and mike will birdie and nate will bogey

Nate bogeys 11, rest par.

Avery has a chance to actually get a stroke on Kenny now.

nates 5th shot doesn't look great, may just look further than it actually is.

he will be in that spot where it is dead headwind and has a big drop off behind the basket.

with him struggling, this is a huge putt.

hole 12 is over, not sure of the scores just yet.

they are on 888, get ready for a backup.

nate misses his putt on 12, takes a double bogey 7.

Avery and Mike birdie
KEnny pars

Ken -23 (-8)
Avery -20 (-6)
Nate -12(+1)
Mike -12 (E)

as expected, 3 card backup on 13.

and my work phone just rang this very moment...

I love good timing :D

sprinkles have stopped.

nate misses his putt on 12, takes a double bogey 7.

Avery and Mike birdie
KEnny pars

Ken -23 (-8)
Avery -20 (-6)
Nate -12(+1)
Mike -12 (E)



Avery was -13 coming into today. A -6 today would put him at -19.
Is he actually at -19, or is he at -20 (-7 on the day)?

Thanks Rob!

Now that I look at it again, Nate's scores don't add up right either. He started at -14 today.

The official board says that Nate is at -11, Mike -12, Avery -20 and Ken -22

the totals are right..

just got mixed up with the round totals.

nate and mike can't both be at -12 if nate's +1 and mike's e. ?

They aren't....Nates +3 and Mike is even

http://www.usdgc.com/leaderboard/

well then that settles it

Ken -22
Avery -20
Mike -12
Nate -11

That IS the totals after 12.

Hi Marsha :)

on 13

avery is OB left

rest are in good shape.

I'm listening to the radio show from Ramstein Germany
US AIR FORCE

kenny and mike throw rollers btw

I'll worry about the Wings in June...how bout them Lions!!!

Thanks for the up dates MTL

no more updates from me....

im done with work and heading home!!

Yes I am following the dot stuff online. Wish I could be there. Maybe next year.

Woot Finally back in Hickory. Can't wait until tomorrow...

well one more

avery OB again

rest are good on 2nd shots.

this could distance climo from his group with Avery at best taking a 6, more than likely a 7 or 8

Avery is OB again on 888

Gotta love em, eh?

I posted some hole stats from round 2 in 2007 versus 2005 on the Courses thread. Strong case for hole 11 being a true par 5, especially when you consider the few number of birdies. In fact, even if hole 11 was reassigned as a par 5, it would have fewer eagles than hole 12 does now.

You guys are doing a great job. Almost as if I was there.

**** what a shoot by Kenny

could be see climo run away with it...he's just ok at holding leads :D

What is the favored bag of the pro players?

Northern Lights

Kenny still carries Innova

Which Revolution bag?

Any of them.

I know Schweb likes to use the backpack. I've heard they are all good. My next bag is going to be a Carolina Team Bag.

I watched Kenny throw a 235 ft eagle at the Euro Open

Ken is like Tiger Woods in ball golf.

Is there any pros that use the Gorilla Boy Bag?

Dave uses the backpack

I watched Kenny throw a 235 ft eagle at the Euro Open



???..they throw putters 375...

Meaning he 2 a par four

Guys can you give me the rundown on rocs? A ROC a Classic Roc and others. Whats the differences

sorry....long week

With a old beat turnover Roc check out www.discgolftv.com (http://www.discgolftv.com) euro videos I was there filming for them.

What about Dave

Is there any pros that use the Gorilla Boy Bag?



i just got one of those in August. I absolutely love it!

Go MIkey! Go Colorado! Go Team Twisted! Coda, that will be 888 hole to remember! Brian Mace, keep it going! Thanks
