Jeff, this is Jim from The Lodge, all you have to do is show up and play, the course is open for play 24/7/365. As for directions from Wichita, take hwy 60 exit off I-35 thru ponca city to Pawhuska. Continue thru Pawhuska on hwy 60 to a Tee intersection 1 mile east of the (only) stop light. Turn south here and go 5 miles. You will need to be watching on the west side of the road for a sign that says Taylor Services.
If you happen to reach the intersection that turns east to Barnsdall, you need to turn around and go 1/2 mile back north. When you turn into the drive, take an immediate left and go to the end of the drive, you will be near hole one tee pad. :cool:

Jeff, send a Pm and I can meet you up there.

Take Conners with you. :o:D

Thanks for the directions, Jim! :cool:

Thanks for the directions, Jim! :cool:



You are welcome, look forward to having you here. :D

VOLUNTEER DAY AT THE LODGE

I am thinking about having a volunteer work day at the lodge, or weekend. The work will consist of carpentry, plumbing, electric and course work if needed. Basically, one good weekend with a lot of volunteers would probably put the lodge in good enough shape that I can punch it on out myself. I am letting my carpentar and helper go tomorrow. The work has just been way too rough and slow. I am not sure what weekend would work best so that we can get some volunteers. Input here would be appreciated. Also, may need someone who likes to paint and stain. If you don't want to work but just show up anyhow, you can always keep the volunteers supplied with liquid refreshments which I will most assuredly have plenty of, along with plenty of good food. IT's A WORK PARTY!!!!! :D

PS. here is my schedule.
This weekend Horseshoe
Next week, NE Texas, work
Next weekend, The Players Cup
The following week, South Texas, work.

The first available weekend I have will be two weeks from this weekend so we can look at any weekend after that.

VOLUNTEER DAY AT THE LODGE

I am letting my carpentar and helper go tomorrow. The work has just been way too rough and slow.

Anybody interested in having a party at the lodge this year? Christmas? New Year? If enough people are interested we will look at putting on the dog. (Not you furdog) Live Band? Karaoke? Dinner and dancing or, all of the above plus whatever else anyone can think up. :cool:

Wayne, that works for me. Would like to know how many would come up for a TDSA/Lodge/Twisted party Saturday night. Would also need to know who would be requesting sleeping facilities other than camping.We have the RV, the cabin, and 2 beds in the house and lots of floor space. Plus all the living room furniture reclines and sleeps comfortably.


Somebody start a poll. How many people would attend the
TDSA/ Lodge/Twisted party Saturday night?

Also, do we have contact info for most of the TDSA members who have long since quit being active? Lets make a push to renew their involvement by inviting them to this party. If so, do you want to furnish me with the info and I can do mailouts or how would you recomment proceeding.

i will be there and i will call a few volunteers i mite know thanks jim

i will be there and i will call a few volunteers i mite know thanks jim



John, I think you and Carla ought to just leave your camper up here. It seems like anytime we need anything you guys are right there. I know I speak for a lot of dgers when I say THANK YOU GUYS for ALL you do. :D

You know I am there....or already am.

Finally, we have a website thanks to Bobby Brown. thelodgeattaylorranch.com
Check out all the pictures. :cool:

Is anyone else having trouble with the PDGA discussion board? Posted by JimmyG on December 5, 2008 at 7:13am in Tulsa Disc Sports Association TDSA
Back to Tulsa Disc Sports Association TDSA Discussions
Ever since the redesign of the PDGA website, I've found that using the Discussion board is painfully slow. Is it the extra time for the ads to load? Did they upgrade their hardware to match the new software demands? Anyone have any info on this?


Here's an idea, somebody start a poll, how many would like to see the PDGA moved to Tulsa where our IT guys really care and can keep the discussion board running smoothly.
Dave Wise could be our new leader. :cool:

O.K., I better put on here that I was just kidding before somebody with no sense of humor takes offense and thinks I am a radical.

[censored] em buckey if they can't take a joke!

I have been trying for a while now to convince everyone that the discgolfersrus site is much easier to use, more reliable, doesn't require a paid membership, doesn't sell you a magazine you don't get, lets you build your own page, lets you load up your music, photos, ads, just about anything you want. The chat feature is great too, it shows you who is online and you don't have to got to another page to get to it, its right on your page.

I know change is hard but why do all of you keep accepting this site as the only change available to you? The only option out there? Give it a try, use the Tulsa threads for a while and see how you like it. You can always come back here and wait for tournaments and ratings to load up. :p

You guys act like they are the only phone company in town.
If Tulsa moves over, the PDGA board will lose a great source of entertainment in information that many other clubs come in here to see. If we move, they will start to move also, just to see what is going on. At least give it a try until the PDGA gets their head out of their arse and gets this site fixed, if they ever do, because as it is right now, they couldn't give a crap what you think about how they are handleing things. :o

AMEN, Brother Dave. You speak it but we all think it. That is why you da man. :cool:

Not the man but a pro arshole with a big mouth. :D

I would be at Discgolfersrus if not for big brother at work blocking it out. :(

On another subject, I kicked Twoputts butt at Wii Boxing last weekend. :).....He just couldn't keep his big mouth out of the way of my left hook. :D

He had the game rigged, its the only way he can win at anything. He has been practicing that game for months and my wife kicked his arse at bowling on her first try. :D

Thats right, i had my wife kick his arse for me. :D

The game wasn't rigged. Boxing is a lot of work so that should tell you right there that I never practice. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Just be glad you didn't go up against Lil'Moose. She would have knocked you out with all four hoofs. ;)

I must admit to everyone though that Dave did win the Hoola-hoop competition. That was an image I never want to see again.

The women seemed to like my effort and think they were having nasty thoughts of me though. :D

Where are the Moderators when we need them??

Come on guys, Wise forcing that visual on us should bring some type of probation, if not an out right ban :)

Just got back from The Lodge and a full review will follow later. But suffice it to say that after playing disc golf for 13+ years and nearly 200 courses, this was the one of my top 10 disc golf experiences ever. Course owner Jim Taylor provided for simply outstanding hospitality, setting me up with the Mule and then giving me a private tour of the new Moccasin Creek course and clubhouse.

This place is disc golf utopia. :cool:

Somebody start a poll about something. Let's get something started on this board before it crashes again. :D

Hey, cool stuff guys. Man, this weather is getting to me. Deb is in D.C. till sunday and I am housebound because of the weather. Kinda feel like a kid that is staying home from school, went in and took a nap and just woke up. I vote Happy Holidays. :D

I voted Happy Holidays also, it covers alot more than just Merry Christmas.
I'm trying to get a bunch of Norman/OKC golfers up to the Lodge for the day, during my time off. Dec.24th-Jan 5th.

What can I say, Great minds think alike. :)

(from Chief Jim at The LODGE) :

You might put on the board that The Lodge will be hosting a holiday party the weekend of the High Noon Flights, the 27th.
Nothing fancy just some sandwiches, beer, music and golf. We all love to play "dirty santa". Everybody brings a gift, it can be anything from something nice to something comical, I once brought some tampons. We draw numbers and the first person to go gets to pick a gift. Each succeeding person gets their choice of choosing from the unopened gifts or selecting one that someone else has already picked. Obviously the last person will have the luxury of choosing from the gifts that everyone else has already opened or the last remaining gift. It is fun. Just a little something extra to make the trip more worthwhile. Everything is free, including lodging for those who may want to spend the night. ...
.
.
p.s. a "Special Edition" of "High-Noon-Flights" will be out there that Saturday , Dec. 27 ! ...

Bad day for Ranger, broken hip. Sure wish Jim lived closer. :(

Just talked to Chris Wagle, he is planning on being up here by noon and play starts about 12:30 or 1:00.

Just talked to Chris Wagle, he is planning on being up here by noon and play starts about 12:30 or 1:00. Also, we will be having a ring of fire competition. This will be a very special ring of fire, We will be celebrating an old time tradition or better known as "Christmas Re-gifting"

So far, Deb has put on my desk a jar of her homemade peach jam, a gift basket full of good stuff like a coffee cup, Italian Chocolates, honey, coffe and more, an under the cabinet wine rack and a carpentar combo set including a level, square, carpentar pencils with carpentar pencil sharpeners, and another small level. Bring a token gift for dirty santa. :D:D

So how was it? I couldn't make it, I've had family in since Thursday. :p

So how was it? I couldn't make it, I've had family in since Thursday. :p



Ton of fun. :D We had a ring of fire afterwards and gave away some neat prizes, including a full assortment of monkey butt stuff. Best I can recall, Mitchell won a chili mix and a jar of Deb's homemade peach jam, I think he also won the musical football cookie jar. Teresa won a chocolate martini mix and an under the counter wine rack. Wagle won a cool gift basket and a carpentar kit.

On saturday I actually played my first full round of disc golf. Me and Barton against Wayne Forest and a young gun named Gary who happens to be Rob Davis' nephew. I think me and Barton had the most fun, not sure what the score was. :D

had a blast sat too jim i thank we shot a 56 all i can say is redbeer /mule ride +discgolf =fun

The board sure is quiet today so I will put up a post.
GOT A NEW DOG. I named him MUD. He is a chocolate lab.
A lady in town gave him to us. He is six months old and
at first was a little bit timid but he is coming around now.
Just got him yesterday. Apparently her boyfriend bought him for her and now they are broke up and she couldn't keep him. We seem to get a lot of dogs that way. Didn't mind taking him as we have lost 3 dogs this year, Burt, Rhonda and Ranger. They all had very good lives while they were here. Burt was a show up. Deb found him in the middle of the road when she came in one night and we could never find someone to claim him. Rhonda was a Rot that we rescued from animal control and Ranger was the son of Hunter and Shelby. Anyhow, that is The Lodge Report for now. :cool:

Well cool I can't wait to meet him...

Looks like tonight is going to be a three dog night....

Sorry but tonight is an AC-DC night! :D

A lab huh Jim...have him hang out with Jeremy while he's fishing for discs...maybe he'll learn to retrieve them...Mud the spotter on the island.. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Have you seen the video Bobby did of Jeremy disc diving and Hunter keeping a keen eye on him from the bank? Pretty cool.

My friends are looking for a chocolate lab. Let me know if you decide not to keep him.

He's already stole our hearts, he's family now, sorry. We are always hearing of dogs though so next time something comes up I will check with you and see if you might know someone that would be interested. We kind of have a network of friends who are all dog lovers and we place a lot of dogs in new homes over time.

No problem

OK, I've been overruled. Mud is now Deuce.

OK. Today's topic boys and girls is look-a-likes. I wish I knew how to do more on this computer. Somebody start a poll. Who do you think bears a more striking resemblance to their celebrity counterpart? Dave Wise/Kenny Rogers or Furdog/Jerry Garcia? :D:D:D

Garcia and the HairBall are a perfect match.

Proof of this occured in Vegas. You know how there will be an Elvis impersonater on the street, asking you to take your picture with him? Kind of like a side show barker. Then when you do, you have to walk all the way through the casino for 200 blocks to the back to get your FREE picture. :(

Well this guy saw us coming down the street from a block away and I thought he was going to break into a full run trying to get to FurDog. He was hollering JERRY, JERRY, please let me take my picture with you!? Pleeeeeze Jerry!

This Elvis was so excited to get his picture with Jerry, that he didn't pay attention to anyone else on the street.

I am preparing a power point presentation on disc golf to take to potential sponsors and advertisers for the NT. The PDGA sent me some really good information awhile back, (hope I saved it on my email). If anyone out there has something that you feel may be a helpful marketing tool, please contact me. 918-724-3121. Our first presentation will be this Friday with Arvest Bank in Bartlesville. You can also email Bobby Brown or contact us on www.thelodgeattaylorranch.com (http://www.thelodgeattaylorranch.com)

I am wanting to make up a music cd that we can play in The Clubhouse when we don't have live music or something else going on. I am looking for songs that get your blood pumping and make you want to go out and wrestle a grizzly bear. Or, maybe just some good feel good songs. Something that keeps the atmosphere flowing not a good song or two then a downer. If you know of some good songs that you would like to hear while at The Lodge, send your suggestions this way.

The Lodge Report
The Lodge did not get nearly the weather that Tulsa did so consequently, the mini tomorrow should provide for a very enjoyable day of golf. I have had some calls to ask about course conditions, the course is in very good condition.

4 of those songs compliment your softer side!

I hear that place drains well :D

63 Days until the AM GREEN COUNTRY OPEN

83 Days until the NT GREEN COUNTRY OPEN

We don't have mini's every sunday but we generally have players every day. If you want to make sure there will be plenty of players just post up and I am sure there will be several golfers willing to oblige you with a game. Or, you could go to Tulsa Disc Sports Association and check out the mini schedule. If you just want to come and play, you are welcome anytime. :cool:

Virus Alert! Every time I go to log on to DiscgolfersRus I get a virus alert that recommends I don't log on. Just thought I would pass that along. :(

Not me!
must be a Pee-DGA pop up

Hey Big Jim,

I've got some days off next week, and I am definitely wanting to help out at the lodge. So I figure I'll put the two together and offer any assistance you may need out there.

I'm pretty much a licensed arborist. Okay, not quite licensed, but i do have my own chainsaw and equipment.

Let me know what I can do to help.

Awesome Crowley! Come on up whenever you want. Bring whatever tools you have and we can find something for you to do.

The Lodge Report.
Just got off the phone with a local cable TV company out of Bartlesville. They will be here next sunday to do interviews and shoot some video for an upcoming program, probably to be aired first part of April but well before the NT. I would like to encourage everyone to show up next sunday so we can have a really good turnout for these people. Also, we leave for Chicago on the 10th to meet with the ESPN people so keep us in your prayers. :D

Jer shot a 935 rated round today. He's comin on. Playing in the Pro division at the Gentleman's Club Classic :D:D:D

Way to go JT!!!

Jim,



Here is the announcement � see attached Word document, as well as text below.



Give us a call or email if you have any more questions or other information.



BTW� we�re meeting with Bobby tomorrow for lunch and to discuss how we can work with him.



Sharon & Joel



************************************ START ANNOUNCEMENT ***************************************





Hosts from TV Show �Live . . . from Bartlesville�

Will Be Interviewing Disc Golf Players and Club Members

Visiting the Lodge at Taylor Ranch - - March 7th and 8th, 2009



Co-hosts Sharon Hurst and Joel Rabin, from the TV variety show �Live . . . from Bartlesville�, will be conducting video interviews with Club members and Disc Golf players visiting the Lodge at Taylor Ranch this coming Saturday and Sunday, March 7th and 8th.



Sharon and Joel recently visited with Jim Taylor at his Lodge . . . along with a discourse from Jim on the sport of Disc Golf . . . and got a teeth-jarring Jeep tour of both tournament quality 18-hole courses that are being rapidly developed at the Lodge. Aside from having their brains flattened by hitting their heads on Jim�s bouncing Wrangler Jeep, they also left the Lodge with a great interest and desire to help promote the sport.



Sharon and Joel will conduct interviews and videotape action shots of everyone at work and at play during the weekend, with the intent of developing several segments for their upcoming TV Shows about the sport of Disc Golf, its players, upcoming national tournaments and the Lodge at Taylor Ranch. They will also offer their video interviews and TV segments to the Lodge for promotional, marketing and advertising purposes.



�Live� from Bartlesville� is shown every Thursday evening from 7:00 to 7:30 pm on Tri-City TV�s cable station 59, serving the Bartlesville, Dewey and Nowata area of northeast Oklahoma. Their TV show can also be seen on Tri-City TV�s Internet site: www.tri-citytv.net. (http://www.tri-citytv.net.) All shows are available �On Demand� 24/7 at the site. Registering for site access is free - and be sure to log-in each time you go there.



The video interviews with various people on Saturday (a �work day�) and Sunday (a �play day�) will be relatively short and run about 1 to 2 minutes each. The interviews will cover a variety of topics that will be of interest to both the general public and Disc Golf fans. Sharon and Joel plan to ask those of you willing to participate to talk about two or three of the following topics (don�t worry . . . no one will be asked to respond to all of these):

1. The history of the Disc Golf sport.

2. How and why did you first became involved in the sport?

3. What do you enjoy most about the sport?

Thanks to everyone who came up today and help set tee pads today at the Lodge!! We couldn't have done it without you. Dave Wise, did you leave something here? Range finder??

What a kick butt day at the LODGE. Thanks to all of you volunteers that showed up. I was stoked to roll in from the ol' day job and find pads in progress... grass getting green and Jim's new tour of the Lodge was enlightning. The Lodge is looking more and more like a nightspot each day. Baskets all in and aligned in boxes waiting for the right seeding time. Finally starting to reek NT reality. Still needing 6 staff members for the event (mostly spotters).

The Green Country Open is soon upon us. Get signed up now!

Way to go guys! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Gonna neck it up Sunday my first NASCAR race.

count on m e joe for a spotter

Hey guys-

I plan playing the DD event at the Lodge here in a few weeks. I will be on spring break the week before the event. Would there be a good/bad day to make a road trip from Winfield Kansas to check out the courses?

Thanks in advance

Smitty

I would say any day at the lodge is a good day!

You are exactly right. There probably isn't a bad day to play at the lodge.


I do have a couple of ideas. I shared a third with Jim.


The first is on hole 17. Man that is a tough hole. I noticed a few things during the 2 days I spent at the Lodge. If you hit the island with a bee line drive you are going to skip off the back, which you should. You can skip it on to the green from the water. This happened from both the drop zone or the tee. If you hit the basket or the pole from the Drop or the tee, you are going into the water.

I don't think it would change the hole at all, but make it better if there was a ring of basketball sized rocks around the perimeter of the island. This would slow down and maybe stop some the roll offs, it would also stop the water skip shot, mainly from the drop zone.

The other idea that I thought would be pretty cool is if there were a couple of bigger flat topped rocks close to most of the tees. Give people a place to park the backside while you wait. There would then be no need to carry a stool.

Smitty, you must be doing something wrong I have hit chain and basket and pole (all 3) on hole 17 several times and have not had the shots go off into the water.
Now I have never hit the top of the basket and I am sure that that would skip off into the water but that hole is the one I use as an equlizer hole to make up for the strokes I gain on the long holes.
my scoring average on that hole is 1 par and the rest are all birds even from the blue.
I would not mess with 17 it is too good as it is.

WOW!!! Great weekend at The Lodge. Great weather, Great tourney, Great bunch of guys. The only thing that didn't come off perfect was the TV at the clubhouse. Probably got damaged by the big hail storm and I didn't know it. I had them come in a couple of months ago and pre-wire before we put the ceiling in and everything worked perfect. Wouldn't you know it, didn't work this weekend. Can't get a service call till this thursday. Had plenty of room at the house though, and it was more comfortable seating too. Had many, many compliments on the course and progress so I proudly pass them on to the deserving TDSA and Tulsa players who truly deserve the credit for an amazing amount of support and volunteer labor. Looks like the fever is building and we should be over the top by NT. Are there some TDSA banners to hang in the clubhouse? I think we have finished sawing and making a mess inside so we can now proudly display banners, Twisted Flyer, TDSA, Innova, PDGA. Thanks TDSA, Joe the man Rotan, all the volunteers. And, Kevin, we are doing you proud back here man. Getting it twisted for the big day. :cool::cool::cool:

Martin I myself have hit chains and have stil gone in the water. I mean not a lil chain about 90%, smitty may have a good idea.

as long as off the island is still OB I see nothing wrong with making disc recovery easier but the joy of the hole is that I can birdie it while others splash. :D
I need all the catch up I can get on that course. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
I love the course and love the island for some unknown reason it seems to love me back. :)

Here's the scoop on the island. We have already discussed putting up a net to save some time in disc recovery. The rule will be, If it hits the net, it is wet. I just haven't gotten that done yet. I am trying to stay with an all natural theme. I want to use fish net since it is on the water. We discussed this at the last NT meeting and everyone was ok with it. Sorry I didn't have it up for this weekend but now even more have had a taste of the island. I just think that by putting up a net, it sure takes a lot of the intimidation away from the hole. I think that was the plan in the beginning. It is not a difficult shot, at all. But, my oh my how it does seem to intimidate. Kinda funny when you think about it. A lot of really good players seem to find themselves unable to get within 20 feet of the pole on what is basically a simple lay up shot. That's the beauty of the hole.

How about a net that lays just under the water and out of sight but can be pulled up after the round. A base around the Island that the poles could be mounted to and the net to the poles. Then lift it up like a shrimp boat pulls up their nets.

While they may know the net is there, it is out of sight, it would still be a double circle 6 for me but at least I know I'd get it back aftewards. :p

http://www.lacoast.gov/education/classroom/shrimpboat%20in%20Vermilion%20Bay.jpg

Come on Dave, tell us some of your old shrimp boat stories :cool:

submirged is better than exposed.
this will still maintain the pucker factor.

Just knowing that there is a net would take away from the hole. And doing it for the NT, why, aren't these the best players in the world

I really think that a ring of rocks around the perimeter would make it a much better hole. It will keep many shots that catch a wheel and roll on the island, it will still punish bad shots. It would be much easier then any net, and it would still look great.

I could probably even get a couple of people to make a trip to carry them over the bridge and do the work. Oh, and play the course of course.

I think the island is fine the way it is. I have played it about 30 times and only missed it 3 times. I think a net for easier retrival would be nice but no rocks please!

I would bet big money that Ken Climo could't put 27 out of 30 on the island. I would let him throw 30 discs in a row and never leave the tee pad.

He would maybe have a pretty good chance at it from the white tee.

He could probably do it from the red.

i guess big kenney needs to come play the lodge then and out of the 30 rounds i have played 10 been from blue and the 3 misses were from the white tee

Bear in mind I am only the maintenance man, a role I cherish. Ultimately the decision will lie in the hands of Kevin, Joe and TDSA. I will do as I am told. Having said that, I am enjoying the feedback, keep it up, as Joe would say, "It's all good". :D

Kevin did a great job designing this course and when people who never play tournaments there come from out of town and play one or two tournaments then think they have the right to redesign it. Thats crazy!

And as for Kenny tell him to gome and go up against the McClellans.

rocks may prevent the hole from playing the way that kevin told me to play it.
he said the best shot for the hole is a skip off the water onto the island.
he threw his borrowed wasp down to the water ,skip,skip,skip ,splash.
i threw my firebird skip, safe.
if rocks were placed at waters edge it may save some overagressive shots from rolling shots from unfortunate shots from getting wet.
however the spread that that hole gives the course is why it could be the signature hole.
i did not play it well this weekend but have successfully navigated it twice in another tourny so think that the hole is designed to punish the bad shot but tempt you to run the ace or lay up approach and put.

I like the hole just the way it is! I just always know I may need to bring a couple extra rocs, just in case.

Kevin did do a Killer job, that is for sure. I don't want to redesign the course at all. I think it is a very cool hole. I was just giving an idea that I had.

I will play it a few more times before the NT, and work and the skip shot.

I do think it would be very interesting to keep some stats on this hole at the NT.

1-Birdies
2-Pars
3-Circle 3's
4-4's
5-Circle 4's
6-Worse then 4

What type of shot and result?
Hyzer
Straight
Airball
Skip off water
Green and good
Green and skip off
Green and roll off

Helk maybe I will get a 12 pack of cold ones and sit on the hill with a clipboard during the NT and take some notes. :D

This net idea that is floating around, I think is very bad. I don't know how you can do it, and make it look good? I also don't know how you can do it, and make it safe. One "dumb" person gets stuck in the net, trying to fish out their disc and we could have a bigger problem.

Make it a 30 pack and I'll sit with you. :D

Also bear in mind that when Jer is here, he is generally in his wet suit after every round and does a pretty good job of disc retrieval, even thru the winter. (like 4 a.m. this past weekend) :cool:

One "dumb" person gets stuck in the net, trying to fish out their disc and we could have a bigger problem.



No, we would have a smaller problem.....one less dumb person. :D How do we get Mitchell out on that net? :D

i guess big kenney needs to come play the lodge then and out of the 30 rounds i have played 10 been from blue and the 3 misses were from the white tee



I bet we could get Winsworth to put on a clinic on "How to throw the Island" Super Ace Greg. No Splash, Just Cash :D:D:D

Two rounds no lost disc how about you wise mr no name on it who is dummer I think you good thing it was black and knowbody checked it mr twostrokes not twoput !!!!!

Who is dumber? Read your post back to yourself and see how that sounds. I think you good thing?

Me theenk you fingurs too big 4 key bored. :D

Aww come on Mitchell, I was just starting to have some fun. :D

Did not mean to spoil it !!!!!

there is no doubt that the chicken way of laying up with an approach then another approach and a putt helped RAMone beat me this weekend . the strokes that i burnt on that hole are equivilent to the number he beat me by.

On another note, Bobby Brown has posted a bunch of really good photos on DiscgolfersR.us. Go to The Lodge at Taylor Ranch clubsite and look for Bobby's post. He is working really hard to help promote us all. :cool:

Now who would be silly enough to fish for discs in the middle of the night? Oh. Right. I guess guys named Jeremy!

I know of a few at Rock Hill. :D

OK! It took some serious arm twisting. I have found a volunteer to take my spot on the hill between holes 18 and 1 during the NT at the lodge. The sweet part, is that it will only cost me a 12 pack of cold brews. Since I know that Big Jim is going to want in on the action, I will boost it to a 30 pack. I just hope the two of them don't get to drunk to keep accurate stats on the hole.

What I really want to know is what percentage of the Pro field can land on the island from the long tee.

My main man Chris Tyler is up for the task. Between Chris, Jim and probably Rusco. We can maybe get some accurate stats for at least the first 3 groups that play the hole. :D

first 3 groups or first 3 beers? :D:D:D

I figured you guys might be done with entire 30 pack after 3 groups. :D

How about just rocks along the back half and to the sides. That's where most discs get left anyway. The ones out front are easier to get to it seems.

All this talk of beer is making me thirsty.

I figured you guys might be done with entire 30 pack after 3 groups. :D



3 guys - 30 beers, 3 groups, might need a relief counter for me cause I know I will have to take a nap in there somewhere. :D

How about just rocks along the back half and to the sides.



That would help, and would still allow for the skip shot.

This skip shot you all refer to, how is a lefty supposed to skip it?

Another K McCoy design flaw.....righty special. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D

Flick it! :cool:

That is a hella lefty shot for sure.

Kind of evens out all the other shorties. 4, 6, 12, 13, 18.

Evens out? If you miss on 4, 6, 12, 13 or 18 do you go in the water with an OB stroke?

He did the same thing to us at black hawk with holes 8 and 10. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

The mystery of the faulty TV at the clubhouse has been solved. Apparently my guys shot a nail through the cable when they were putting up the ceiling. :confused:

Ah, that makes sense. I was wondering the the cable hadn't been cut somewhere.

Yeah but it works good now. :D

Disc Golf on TV tonite. www.tri-citytv.net (http://www.tri-citytv.net) at 7:00.

Nice work.

As for the Island Hole. It is just that... an Island. One could draw reference to the famed "hardest hole in disc golf". Hole #17 at Winthrop Gold, home of the only true Championship in disc golf, the USDGC.

Hole #17 at Winthrop is about the same size and shape. Bales are placed in front to prevent a skip off of the lawn. The Lodge has a real waters edge bank, either way a skip must be well planned and executed. If you clear the bales and go hard at the DISCatcher Pro, you pay the price of OB off the back. Same scenario with the Lodge. Island holes are touch and go but can be conquered. I watched Jay & Des throw a Orange Star Aviar on #17 at Winthrop and land approx. 25 out of 30. Practice will be key for #17.

Every year MANY Pros of all ratings have had game shifting moments on this hole. It's about RISK and REWARD, Planning, Practice and execution when it counts. I say leave the Island a true Island and rest assured you will most likely get your disc back before you tee again. The Island is a Lodge signature hole that does what the Lodge does, expands on and furthers disc golf traditions and challenges.

Nuff said, thanks Joe. The Island remains an Island. Jeremy will be retrieving discs after each round. For maximum assurance of getting your disc back, simply watch it down. Then you can direct him to the area more accurately to look for your disc. I think to have someone go in the frigid water after rounds is quite a courtesy. :D

Two rounds no lost disc how about you wise mr no name on it who is dummer I think you good thing it was black and knowbody checked it mr twostrokes not twoput !!!!!


Mitchell I just saw this post...you have no right to proclaim no lost disc...you laid up!!

your halarious Mitchell... :p

It looks like we are getting the video stuff worked out pretty good. I have been watching birds in Bobby's back yard flutter around while he talked to me. We may have a trial run ready by next weekend. :cool:

Looks like everything is getting sweeter at the Lodge... fancy chairs, new course, A Tier action this weekend... Forest... please step in here...

If anybody is available to help today, please give me a call, I can help with gas money if you have time. 724-3121.

Its nice to see a Lodge thread up on top of the discussion board. I have noticed that there are not that many...if any, tournments up in pawhuska this next year. This has just boggled my mind that these beautiful courses have not been scheduled for any big tourneys. I say lets put the politics aside and schedule some tournaments at the lodge this year.

i heard okie dubs at the lodge :D

Ya I heard that too. Im talking about Sanctioned tournaments. It doesnt even matter what "tier". Im starting to get T.L.W. (The Lodge withdrawals)

Ya I heard that too. Im talking about Sanctioned tournaments. It doesnt even matter what "tier". Im starting to get T.L.W. (The Lodge withdrawals)

careful, asking for sanctioned tournaments around here is very taboo. ive had my wrists slapped so many times its starting to affect my driving accuracy and my putts.

I am also in agreement with you on THE LODGE. What a great place for any kind of tournament... ESPECIALLY doubles... that is going to be a BLAST. Dorries and Triska going to be competing as a team for the first time since last year's Okie Dubs! Looking forward to that.
