Can you play both days?

It is only one tournament. You will have to pick a division you like best and stick with it. If it were two seperate tournaments then you could play both days.

Looks like you are already registered to play with me and DWjr on Sunday. Just asking for a friend are you?

Good luck, see you there!

2 sanctioning agreements and one tournament but you can only play one event despite there being 2 seperate tournaments?

my head is spinning

It's OK. I'm tired of those advanced masters kicking me around. It's time to let someone else kick me around.

you mean someone younger than you.

which layouts were played at the yadkinville spring tourny and which order were they in?
Trying to figure out if i've played the stout layout before or not.

Calm down you hockey fans! I know the puck slapping season has begun but that is no reason for you head to still be spinning. You will have to contact the TD to get sanctioning specifics, but I know that both days are considered one tournament.

Come if you can; stay if you must. :D

DW - I always feel that if I beat jr. then I have had a good tournament. Teach them well and watch them lead.

As for the layout on the stout course - I can tell you most everything will be long including holes: 1,2, 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17
I think some baskets will be moved at the break (TBD) and hole 10 will probably be a new shot on a temp basket, due to the crowds around the soccer field.

I believe the spring tourny had a mixture of pin placements, but regardless of where the pins are at; A day in the park playing golf is always better than not golfin. :cool:

YO baby 2007 - spread the love!

......my head's been spinning since last Thursday. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif How goes it Big Jammer, or Pig Jimi..... "I can never be sure which one it is..." Jackson Brown

Wish I could make this one. I will be in Minneapolis on business. Who ever heard of working on the weekend???

How does that song go? "Working for the weekend."

Hope you all have fun...will be there for the Spring Tourney to defend. Look out for my Greensboro boys.

Too bad... I was semi-considering driving down to play both days.

Based on the discussion board commentary, there's nothing in the rules banning someone from playing in multiple divisions on different days.

Otay, BuTT-wheaTT, O-o-otay. :cool:

Any recent Mole sightings or have we played all the positions before

is the course just going to be all longs Sunday?

Not sure what Mole has up his sleeve or in his post hole digger. He and Todd G. have been up to something though. The Stout course won't necessarily be all longs, but the perceived most difficult positions. Also the opening of the new soccer field east of #10 will affect play and pins on that side of the course. Not sure what they decided over there. It ain't much, but it's all's I know.

i think i am going to play this one

me too

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Tickled to have both of you in the house Sunday, but I see this as a blatant attempt to scare off BS. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif ;)

In the same vein, I'll pass this along to the Advanced wannabe's. Bryant Austin and Ben Porter doubled for a -12 no bogey round at Ramcat yesterday afternoon.... and they seemed to be just warming up. :cool:

Scared of those two, that's funny. Maybe his scar. I'm more scared of your local baggers BA and BP but they'll probably go for their eight Yadkin title.

me too



I was going to suggest it to ya, but figured it was too far. Come to Charlotte and play on Saturday and gimme a call.

i think im going to lewisborough(sp?) on SAturday.

Tell Cutt to bring my Glo Roc

cuTT, bring his glo roc.

groovy. I actually remember all those holes... except 11... isn't 11 the wide open 180 ft hole with 14 just beyond the basket?

Maybe I should get there a little early....

Correct. It's a crapshoot lefty hole that likes to deposit your disc in the creek. If there's water

They're all crapshoot lefty holes.... /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

#11 - throwing back toward #14 teepad and #13 basket, short position crapshoot, long position skill and arm :cool:

Is there anything going on Saturday at Disco?

Yup, muzzleloader season on disc golfers opens. I won't be playing Saturday, resting this twisted spine of mine, and no one is hunting at Ramcat so playing there is cool. :cool:

"Who's got my extra-If anyone has any of my equipment from DiscRoast please bring to Yadkin. Especially Muckus"

Was that your "rain hat" Mutkus was wearing? That got left under the camper.

playing there is cool. :cool:

Now that's an under statement

<font color="green"> YO!!! </font>

They're all crapshoot lefty holes.... /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

#11 - throwing back toward #14 teepad and #13 basket, short position crapshoot, long position skill and arm :cool:



Gotta love those lefty holes :cool:

Beautiful day on the Ridge today. Saw several deer and not many birdies but might of beat the speed record. Thank you Jamie and Fran for letting us hacks up there with some color left. Will be windy tomorrow. And never throw an extra putt on 4 and forget it.

Oh yeah a -4 was leading int. after first round

No problemo Bradric. You're welcome anytime. Yup, #4 is a cruel hole to forget a disc on, more so if you are on top of the ridge when you realize it. :D

Congrats Andy!!!

You have earned a spot on TEAM TROUBLE!!!

Way to Represent.

Tyson

Anyone with Pro/Adv results?

Just got a note from Bens. MJ took Pro, Jerm took Adv, with David Jr. 2nd Adv. Congrats to all. Enjoyed walking the first round with y'all M.Jo, Brian and Shane. And a big old hooooooooahhh to David Jr. :cool:

Andrew Atwood takes first cash as Pro. I talked to him after the event and he was glowing!!!! Way to go man...

Scores posted now. And a good showing in PRO second by honorary local "poormouthing BS", who I saw near the end of his first round and was shaking his head and shuffling his feet on his way to a four down 50 round. :)

...And Kudos to Jaime Arnold who steps up and donates $100 to the pro payout.

and all the volunteers and organizers you know who you are.

and me whose goal was to not finsh last (which I barely accomplished!!)

Great Tournament thanx to all that made it happen and Great Course. David it was fun playing with you and Jr in the first round.

If you watched that round you would've been shaking your head too. I was luck that I parked so many holes because I still don't know how to putt. Course looked great and Thnaks again Jamie for the added cash and allowing us to play on Sat.

I definitely saw your park job on #12 after the fact. I'm sure it held up for the CTP. What lefty crapshoot route did you take on that one? :D

straight over creek what else

Whups. Sorry meant lefty crapshoot route on #7 ctp. :p

Def wasn't me that was first throw of tourney. Next group parked it and must not have put there name on it. But I did par it both rounds. I still can't par 13

.......shoot, #13's just a simple lefty flick thumb roller. :D

WOW, Lil Wig bringing the smackdown. Good Job little buddy. Big Wig, you got your hands full there.

Mini Thumber

have to say that i had fun yesterday playing the course, and getting up that way. it was a nicely run event that i will get back too if i can and whenever you guys run something there.

I'll pass it on to David, Rocky - yes, he keeps improving. I think all the work we put into the USDGC qualifier showed him the results of playing aggressive but also smart in a way that mere words had not been able to do. That's 2 thousand plus rated rounds and 2 second place finishes in the last two events. Not too bad for 12 y/o.

Not too bad for 12 y/o.



12yr. old? Riiiiight. I know a 27 year old midget when I see one. :D

On the other hand, as fast as he's growing, we'll have to say a 27 year old midget on HGH...... /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

And you've still got a couple of Yadkin County courses you haven't seen MJ, Cranberry Disco (soon to be 18 holes but right now one of the best 9 holes you'll ever walk, climb and slide around) and Ramcat (for comic relief after the Disco :)) Holler at BS. He can give you a tour of both. :cool:

You know Jaime, I know that was just a joke, but as a Dad and a physician, I worry that people would suspect that given David's precocious abilities. I'm pretty sure that anyone who knows me well enough, knows that is not at all what I am about, but given the nature of all that is going on in sports today, unfortunately everyone is suspect to those who don't know them personally.

It's relatively easy to prove a positive, but darn near impossible to categorically prove a negative. All I can say is that it was never about great disc golf success between David Jr and I. At first, it was about naturally sapping some energy from a very active 4 or 5 year old kid and it has evolved into a precious shared experience between a father and son.

I want him to be happy and healthy, and disc golf does that so of course I hope for his success. Along the same lines, I could never bring myself to spike his Kool Aide so to speak. If someone doesn't believe that, I'd ask them to look at his you-tube video to see how skinny he is - like a normal fast growing kid.

Yup, just a joke, as anyone who has ever met y'all would know. BTW antique furniture really gets me started too. ;)

I 2nd that. He's just a remarkable kid with energy, and the love of plastic hitting chains. He also is a great person whom I enjoy being around, and glad I can say, I know, and have played with him, and beat him, 1 round out of . Ohh 60 maybe. Good Job Big Wig, and Lil Wig

.......and just in case anyone missed it, DJr's -7 would have been good for 3rd place cash in a strong, strong PRO field. :eek: :cool:

Andrew Atwood takes first cash as Pro. I talked to him after the event and he was glowing!!!! Way to go man...



Going to have to step up my game. Way to go Andrew and Lil Wiggins. Wish I could of been there...I am following you guys from Minnesota. Be at the G-Town, so hope to see ya'll there.

Cashing in pro is BIG. One day brother, one day. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Hope I can be half the dad you are Doc.

Thanks guys for the kind comments. BTW, I need to get in touch with Jeremy Koling. Can anyone give me some contact info?

Thanks

Dave

just sent you a PM w/ his info

he's also on the www.charlottedgc.com (http://www.charlottedgc.com) discussion bard a lot

BTW... nice wins CHARLOTTE!!!
MJ - PRO
Jeremy - AM (would've finished 2nd in pro)

Jeremy - AM (would've finished 2nd in pro)



great shooting by big germ...

however....

this drives me nuts when I hear people say "i would have finished ________ in _________"

So many factors and reasons why that could not be true. Maybe the open pros were on a wide open hole when a huge gust of wind came through and the ams were on a wooded hole? Now all of the sudden the ams play the same hole without the wind and could pick up strokes.

Also, the chances of seeing a really good round in pro are a lot better - if you are struggling, it makes it more frustrating.

Nerves are also a factor.

Trust me, Big Germ shot it up, not trying to take it away from him - just saying :D

Hey guys, I need a little help. I was up at your course for the tournament a few months ago. I had a blast and learned a little disc golf history when I saw the tone poles. I am interested in constructing a tone pole to place on our course in Kinston. Could someone scratch down some demensions, materials, and a sketch or a photo. I have a student that is interested in completing this project with me for a senior project. Your help is appreciated!

Not in the office right now Joe, but maybe I can point you in the right direction for starting a search. The old Y'ville tone poles were made by Tube Tone Concepts. Try googling that and see what you find. If you can't find everything you need PM me and I can fax you a hand drawn schematic with dimensions.

I tried their number and it has changed or is no longer in service. I'll keep looking but if you have anything to share please let me know. Thanks Brother!

Joe, I've drawn you a schematic with dimensions. PM me a fax #. :cool:

Hey guys,

I hadn't seen your thread till today. I just wanted to thank everyone down for being so friendly. It really makes the 5 hour drive down there feel like I am heading home.

Tommy Donelson

Hey Tommy. Great showing at the YO!!! And you can consider Yadkin Park, The Disco and Ramcat your home courses. You are welcome anywhere around here anytime. Although you might want to talk to Jeremy before you come down again to be sure he's off "local boy" probation. ;) /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D Course he did redeem himself somewhat with the doubles round he and Bryant threw at the Disco on Wednesday afternoon. :cool:
