Is the player's party, flymart, band, etc., not going to be at the KofC this year? I had heard it was going to be outside?

Held at the JC Pavillion this year. It's off Old Morgantown Road in Lampkin Park literally 5 minutes at most from Preston Miller.

true that. i posted the same thing here some time recently.

they're like the patriots except all the patriots players aren't a bunch of pricks and belichick is more likable than krzooski.

John, coming from ACC country, surely you"ll cheer for the ACC team that makes it to, and remains in the tournament. Say, so
When we land in Kentucky, we will be down to a few. My mind will be on Disc Golf, mostly.

Mini Thumber

i wouldn't root for duke or uva if they were playing the irani national team.

true story- back in 1982 or so uva (with sampson) played the russian nationals (with sabonis)- i was the only kid at the pizza/beer joint rooting for the russkies.

...and now back to your regularly scheduled bowling green thread- great tournament run by great people. kerieakes is one of the 5 best short courses i have ever played.

When your running down my country man, your walking on the fightin side of me. You should move, Ill help you pack.

Hold your Vodka brother, Hold it.

Mini Thumber, Coach Ks advisor, and true American

i love merle haggard- i just hate duke.

I understand, It's OK See ya in BG

For those that want some photos or videos of the BG courses, here is a link to the City Parks that give a lot of shots of Lovers Lane, Hobson Grove, and Kereiakes Park on the video. Also some course maps.

Almost? lets see National Championships

lets look at this year
SEC 1 team in the top 5
ACC 2 teams in the top 5

Can't Compete? come on man.

SEC Football > ACC football.
ACC Basketball > SEC Basketball

Pac-10 is better than both

Come on people, this is the BG Ams thread, not the college sports thread. rWc3523

I slacked and now both host hotels are full. Does antbody have any information on a hotel that is convenient to either host hotel? I want to be close to the action so I can find a ride each morning. I'm traveling with some Masters players and will need a ride with someone in the Advanced field. Thanks in advance for any information.

Best Value is right next door to the Best Western and the Comfort Inn is in the parking lot of the Best Western

Pac-10 is better than both


Basketball? maybe back in the 60's. sorry RWC

Best Value is right next door to the Best Western and the Comfort Inn is in the parking lot of the Best Western



Also, close by are- Econo Lodge, Quality Inn, Home-Towne Suites, Fairfield Inn, Sleep Inn and the Ramada.

Across the Expressway are- Hampton Inn, Baymont Inn, Drury Inn and the Red Roof Inn

Thats the best I could come up with on such short notice :D

Oh, that's alright Dave, I'll let ya slide! I'm partial to the SEC, but I'm talking football. We're not too hot in basketball this season. I'm a Memphis basketball fan myself! ;) rWc3523

One more question. What is the name of the road were all of those hotels are located? I'll check out hotels.com, I just want to make sure I get the right facility. Thanks for the help.

BTW The Big East is going to do it this year in March Madness.

scottsville rd is like the main road thru there by the interstate

One more question. What is the name of the road were all of those hotels are located?



Richard,
most of the hotels are on Mel Browning St. that is where we stayed last year. on the other side of 231is Cumberland trace rd. there may be some there as well. 231 is the main street threw bowling green (mall restaurants etc.) we stayed in a motel last year on Mel Browning and it was fairly wasy to get anywhere in town based from there. hope this helps.

Thanks for the help. Is it fairly easy to find a ride from the host hotel to the courses? I'm traveling with people that play in different divisions and will be in different pools.

and well the Big East and Big Ten trump both lol
Go Badgers

not sure there man. i drove and my buddy was in the same pool the whole weekend. i do know there was a lot of scrambling going on every morning at the different hotels and i gave mulitiple people rides to and from courses.

I think that's 11-10. Not bad for a football conference! Also you need to check Rivals for the number 1 conference in bball recruiting. It's not the ACC or Pac 10.

Sorry but I had to get that out. No more non disc related talk from me. Just don't get on here talking smack about the SEC when your going to be in SEC country.

Thanks for the help. Is it fairly easy to find a ride from the host hotel to the courses? I'm traveling with people that play in different divisions and will be in different pools.



When they announce the pools start asking around. I didn't see any problems last year with people needing rides. You can also request to be in somebodies pool.

Wave, I think he has been inserting his Q-Tip too deep.
Mini Thumber

Oh, well. I'm sure that myself and all the other Novice rated players that are forced to play Rec will be happy enough just to contribute to the payout for the Rec division. I just feel fortunate enough that they are giving us players packs that are anywhere close to the Advanced packs. And we get to play the same courses we played last year so we'll have had practice. I just hope I'm lucky enough to get an 890 rated player in my 1st round group. That way I will shoot around 890 instead of my rating of 790.

Ralph,

You are not forced to play. I understand that each of us have our own goals, but I do not play tournaments for the potential of winning the tournament. If I am competitive, that is a bonus, but I like the idea of learning from better players and having fun.

Thank you,

Steve

There are only 86 spots left in the Int/Rec. division so if you havent signed up do so now!!!

Who do I talk to about this request? Should the request be made prior to checking in for the tournament?

[/QUOTE]

Contact the TD. The request will have to be before the day of. JD: can you give some insight on this? I know that they were doing it last year but I can't remember when you had to make the request.

last year you could change what pool you were in right after they put out the boards. I think you need to switch with someone else though. It was fairly easy. Just asked around who would switch. Shouldn't be a problem.

If you just email the TD and tell them you are going down with other people and ask if you can be put in the same pools (if you are playing in same division obviously) they will do it. The sooner you let them know the better your chances will be. There are 6 of us going down together (so far) and we are making sure we are all in the same pool to make rides easier.

Yes, just contact the TD and I'm positive arrangements can be made to accomodate everyone.

What is the TD's screen name on this message board? I'll send him a PM with my info, if that's OK.

Send him an email at fivesmalls@insightbb.com

This will reach him faster.

Thanks for the help.

There are now 78 spots left in the Int/Rec/Jr, division. Once that fills you will need to sign up for Adv. if you still want to play in the tournaments.

UPDATE!!!

58 spots are now left in the Int/Rec/Jr. division. There will be no mercy so sign up now or play Adv.

It's gonna fill, Int/Rec/Jr. that is. rWc3523

Oh it'll def. fill. I just hope Adv. fills up as well. Everyone is moving down.

First, let me say that this tournament is simply great. This will be my 4th and it has been improved upon each year. I would like to extend thanks and congratulations to all of the BG volunteers who make the largest AM event happen!
Ok a couple of questions that I haven't seen answered in this thread:
�I know the players' party has been moved but what about the players' meeting?
�I will reach that magical age of 40 this year so I am playing in the masters pool. Are the age protected divisions lumped in with the Adv. or Int./Rec. grouping? If we are with the Advanced, will we be playing the same tees? (This way I know how much icy hot to bring since all of my buddies are calling me OLD!!)

Thanks!

I think this was a little premature unless you were looking for a specific type of room. I just made a reservation at the Best Western. According to the nice lady taking reservations, they still have a few rooms with one king-size bed available at the tournament rate.

I think this was a little premature unless you were looking for a specific type of room. I just made a reservation at the Best Western. According to the nice lady taking reservations, they still have a few rooms with one king-size bed available at the tournament rate.



I've been through the run around with this hotel and it's managers every year and keep saying that I won't go to them next year. I just can't beat a room for $55 a night with an indoor pool. It gives my 5 year old son and 10 year old sister something to do so the whole family can make the trip together. My wife called for reservations at or befroe the beginning of the year and they said they we're full, but could give us a single king room with a roll-away for $55. I then called the next day and talked to the manager after getting availible rooms on-line for $69. The manager told me they had overbooked the double rooms and woudl have to give some of them single kings with roll-aways. She said she was glad I told her that their was doubles still available online, and that she'd check into it. More then a month later after discussion of this on the boards someone wrote that they talked to Best Western and were told they had over 50 rooms available. My father called and got a reservation for the weekend in a double room for $55. :confused:

I called last week and they said it was fully booked. I received an email from the TD yesterday stating there were 30+ rooms left. Last night I called again and they booked me no problem. Not sure what happened, I just hope that I have a room when I get there. You're right $55 a night poolside is hard to beat.

Who can tell me what courses the Recreation Players will be on.

Mini Thumber, Graduate of Novice University :p

god i hope i reged in time to make it into int/rec...

is there online reg for this anywhere?

Michigan is gonna rep strong



I am sure there will be at least 3 people in the final nine this year i am gonna be playing to win this year no second again i wasnt gonna play but i am gonna play am for worlds so i am might as well give it a shot being that there is a lot of really good players signed up.

MICHIGAN IS GONNA TEAR IT UP :) :) :D :D

Who can tell me what courses the Recreation Players will be on.

Mini Thumber, Graduate of Novice University :p



Hobson,Lovers,Miller,Griffin. This was the last I heard.

Thanks, now do you have any Idea if it's long or short pads, or all the same?
Thanks Again
Mini Thumber :cool:

Mini Thumber, Graduate of Novice University :p



On the Bowling Green website it states that no one will know what courses they will play until the players meeting.

No one can say with 100% certainty but the best guess is that it will be the following...

Adv- Phil Moore, Kereiakes, White, Franklin
Int/Rec/Jr.- Hobson, Lovers, Basil, Preston

I cant say for sure and that's the best guess I have, and would be surprised if it's not so if anyone is ever in town practicing your best bet is to go by that.

They will tell us which courses, at least several days ahead of time. They are just waiting for registration to end.

It'll really just come down to whether Phil Moore is ready or not.

If its ready:
AM1- Keriakes, Phil Moore, White, Franklin
AM2/AM3-Lovers, Hobson, Griffin, Miller

If it's not ready:
AM1- Keriakes, White, Franklin, Hobson
AM2/AM3-Lovers, Griffin, Miller, Chalybeate

hey, I may have missed this above...

any preview on the players packs?

I also remember, in years past, that the players packs cut off at 500 players or something along those lines... but I haven't seen anything about it this year. does that mean you guys have something for everyone? :D

They had something for everyone last year... at least that I can remember...

Well, the ones who weren't in the first 500 got a so-so player's pack. But it was my fault for procrastinating. rWc3523

As of 8:30pm the Int/Rec/Jr pool is full. There are 83 spots left in the tournament, but for Adv. only.

About the players package...

Everyone will receive a great package. The only difference being Adv. will receive 1 additional disc. What's in it too early to say.

Awesome.

Thanks, now do you have any Idea if it's long or short pads, or all the same?
Thanks Again
Mini Thumber :cool:



Long pads where they apply (Kereiakes, Franklin)

On a side note, just wanted to present the numbers so far in each division so you all can get a sense of the competition you'll be facing...

Advanced Men- 187
Advanced Women- 15
Advanced Masters- 44
Advanced Masters Women- 1
Advanced Grandmasters- 25
Advanced Senior Grandmasters- 6
Intermediate- 200
Intermediate Women- 7
Recreational Men- 141
Recreation Women- 5
Junior <16- 3
Junior<13- 4

Looks like I'll have to show the other 199 Intermediate men how to play golf! ;)

Remember, there are still 82 spots left in the Advanced divisions so get going and see you here in BG!!!

is kevin dray #27607 supposed to be in intermediate? his rating is showing as 939. just a bit too high.

Long pads where they apply (Kereiakes, Franklin)




Does that mean the Senior Grand Masters and the womens masters will all be playing the Long pads at Franklin? I'm in the advanced division and not looking forward to it, can't imagine most of them are either.

I'm in the advanced master division and I'm NOT looking forward to it. Not to mention the drive between Franklin and White Park. Lots of gas involved. If gas goes up as they're saying, I doubt I'll be back next year. But you never know. rWc3523

I love franklin and the long tees from what i seen will make under par almost impossible considering i think the hot round was a 50 last year

Just went through the reg i feel like a real bagger the only higher rated player's are a guy with three tourneys and marc and i think he won this tourney three years ago.and i didnt do to bad last year :confused: :mad:

But as we all know ratings dont mean chit so everybody better bring there A++++ Game

Let the smack talk begin!!!!!!! :D:D:D

I thought players over 970 weren't eligible...http://www.pdga.com/msgboard/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Will this be reflected on the registration page soon? There are only 28 spots left (looks like), and if ADV fills up then where would he move to?

I was just advised that this is a one disc / ultimate disc tourney. Can anyone verify that? I sent in my registration already but prefer to play a toruney that allows me to play with Golf Discs.

Don't know where you heard that but that is about as far from the truth as you can get. It is 4 rounds of disc golf goodness!

I thought players over 970 weren't eligible...


Only pros playing am can't be more than 969. No other sport we've found ever requires ams to turn pro no matter how well they play.

I heard we are only allowed to use square discs during this tourney...I already paid but all I have is round ones. Is that ok? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Then you throw those discs as hard as you can into any and all trees and rocks.

Is it filled yet? last I checked there were 692. Could be full by the end of the weekend... shoot by the end of the day! Not bad for an event that's still a month away. I have two other tournaments before then!!
WHOO! rWc3523

Not bad for a tournament where you can only throw a square ultimate disc you get at registration. :D

this players pack is starting to sound sweeet, i think now if mine doesnt have one of these new square ultimate discs, im gonna be disappointed.

At least we're not throwing boomerangs! :D rWc3523

glad i got in. i was already pre regd for river cities but due to the canclation had to go with plan B. rooms are still available at the days inn across the street from the host hotel if anyone is still looking.

If anyone wants to semi-rough it we still have the KOA which is right across the street from Basil Griffin. Probably cheaper than a hotel, and near a course!

If anyone is having trouble finding a place, or are working on a tight budget I can ask my dad if a person or two can crash here at our house. Just PM me, and I'll ask but no promises.

Who all is staying at the Americas Best Value Inn? There are 6 or 7 in our group and we will only have two cars. Just trying to get rides squared away early so were not scrambling around Fri. night or Sat. morning tyring to figure it out. Also how far away from the hotel is the place the party is Fri. night? Within walking distance, or will we need to drive?

You'll be driving all the way across town, but it only takes like 15 mins max to get anywhere in BG.

Plus I just saw that the tournament has filled up and MAN I CANT WAIT!!!

29 DAYS LEFT!!! Glad all of you are coming down!!!

Me too, this should be a great time. Counting down the days till we leave. Wish we could make it down Thurs, but we going to try and roll out around 5 or 6am Fri. morning so we can make it to at least one course to get a practice round in. Out of the 4 courses the Int. will be playing, which would be the best/needed for a practice round?

HB once said, "The tournament will be won or lost at Hobson Grove."

Advanced wont be playing this course right??? I am also disapointed at the way they are running things this year by adding a rec divison in all years i played there were no rec which totally cuts into the advanced field last year 300+ advanced no this year maybe 220 i also know alot of good players that are not gonna get in beacuse these other divison's but they did have plenty of time to sign up

Not a hater
Just a few opinons plus does anyone know maybe if there will be a waiting list

i also know alot of good players that are not gonna get in beacuse these other divison's but they did have plenty of time to sign up





It wouldn't have mattered if Rec was offered; the people playing Rec could have just moved up to Int, still preventing advanced players from getting in.

Well, remember that they changed the rating breaks. I would bet that many people that played Advanced last year are playing Intermediate, thus less people.

I would also assume that is why that they added the Recreational Division.

It's because of the ratings changes that Rec. was added. This creates a fairer challenge because a 915 rated golfer cant compete with the Super Ams and an 875 rated golfer cant compete with the 910 rated golfer.

Final Numbers

Advanced Men- 255
Advanced Women- 21
Advanced Masters- 50
Advanced Masters Women- 0
Advanced Grandmasters- 27
Advanced Senior Grandmasters- 7


Intermediate- 199
Intermediate Women- 6
Recreational Men- 142
Recreational Women- 6
Junior <16- 3
Junior<13- 4

I cannot wait!! My 5th year in a row!! What a great tournament!!

All of us here in BG have been practicing together, and working our butts off to keep the title here at home. It's going to be very exciting, and we cant wait to see 720 golfers converge down here.

On another note, if you would like to see this tournament extended to a possible 3-4 day tournament then please submit your feedback to run2disc@insightbb.com

it will be good to see"old" friends,and make some new ones
looks like a tough group in the adv/master division
good luck mr bose,dana(bagger),brett,scott,billy,VERN,mike and the rest of ya'll not so old peeps

Right on Mark - Just remember the Advanced Masters are playing this as an Ultimate One Disc Challange. No use carrying all those silly golf discs in our bags and messing up our backs.

Remember that it needs to be square too!

i hear that the baskets are square also...is that true as well?
VERN it will be good to see you again
hope we make it till the end

I heard that we're actually not going to be playing disc golf this year at BG. Something about a giant game of Flip-Cup?

I just got a call from our Parks Laison (sp) and the tee signs just came in. I am going to try and help install them this week, and if I do get a chance to go out there I will try and describe the course as best I can.

As far as the expanding the days for the tournament. I am against making the main event longer than 2 days but I would be for having another event during the week leading up to it. I think that making the main event longer would cause difficulty for some people getting extra time off and therefore not allow them to come. However if you have a seperate sanctioned event on Thursday or Friday that would allow those that want to come early and enjoy even more disc golf the opportunity to do so without penalizing those with jobs that have difficulty getting off.

I think I will be in the minority on this issue and make take some flak for this sugguetion. I really, really don't think their should be a final 9 for Blowing Green Ams for several reasons but the first being that only a small fraction of the other players really want to watch the disc golfers in final 9. Have 4 rounds, then disc golfer at the courses a little time to get to the good but short awards ceremony with the Advanced Top Final 4 players getting some good trophies, prizes, and a photo taken of the group and sent to them. Plus they will get some recognition from the other players waiting to get their prizes. Finally people want to get their prizes and get on the road. I think this is a great tourney and like how many events are taking place on Friday. I have to give credit to all the BG disc golfers help make the tourney possible. :)

If it went to just 3 days then it could reach upwards of 900 people. More people AND more golf, that would be freakin sweet.

If it went to just 3 days then it could reach upwards of 900 people. More people AND more golf, that would be freakin sweet.



I am all for more people and more golf but my problem is the difficulty with real lives and jobs. I know that some people plan a big portion of the week to come and play. However a % drive up on Friday night or Saturday morning without interefering with their jobs or responsibilities. At my job it it is diificult to take off the day before long breaks like spring break without a very good reason. Whereas another sanctioned event during the week allows those able to come early to have more fun and those that can't don't have to miss the main course just the appetizer.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. 720 people can't be wrong!

A sanctioned event in the days before would also be good.
Since you have enough courses now, you could have it at one not being used during the weekend, that way the event wouldn't interfere with people practicing for the Am Champs.

I'm for keeping it like it is. I'm already taking Friday off to get some practice in. Every additional day equals another day of expenses and more time off work. The additional expenses might not be bad for some, but there's normally three members of my family so it's three times the food, beverages, etc. This trip is already fairly expensive, but it's worth it. Not sure if we'd be able to make it if it becomes a mini-worlds... which it basically already is. rWc3523

russ you know your hooked,you'll be there no matter what

Why would you put family before BG Ams? You used to be cool. :p

Family before BG ams? We're going :P

P.S. - We should have a handful of the ShamRoc (http://www.sunkingdiscs.com/)s leftover for sale at BG

I thought there was a long drive contest. I saw the putting contest on the Tournament Schedule but no long drive contest. If there is one what was the winning distance last year, and when and where will it be held this year?

Where is Phil Moore Park?

is this puppy full yet? still trying to decide if I can/should go or not and wasnt sure if the point is moot or not

Discraft was running something at Keriakes last year, but it wasn't really a long drive contest. You could try some new plastic and they would give out prizes if you threw over 400 feet or something. That's all I remember. rWc3523

Poor Boys (I think) put one on at Hobson, as well as a driver speed contest or something. It was pretty nice... They gave away all kinds of minis :D

Google map with all BG am courses. (http://bgdg.org)

INNOVA is hosting a putting contest, and Discraft will be putting on an driving contest.

I think it is full. Can't wait to make my first trip down there.

It was just over 500...505 if I remember correctly. The area was a tough spot to throw long air shots so they allowed rollers and a roller won it. I wasn't there but I know the guy that did when and heard all about it :cool:

Thanks Shawn!

They weren't allowing rollers, and the winning shot was not a roller. It hit a tree in the air and was stopped just over 500.

do we know what courses we(adv master) are playing yet,the field is full,shouldn't we know be now......would you think so

Unfortunately, we're not getting a lot of "official" info from the actual tournament directors. It would be nice to know some of this information ahead of time. I'm gonna get ya anyway! ;) rWc3523

I was playing the courses we (masters) played last year and the TD told me I was practicing the wrong ones. ;)

Russ,
Remember you are playing AM division. You wonder why ;)

Peace

Geeze! Just show up ...it's Bowling Green Ams!

Their concerns are valid. Even I would like official word as to what the courses are. I know when I go to a tournament I hate having to play blind.

I would like to be the first to thank Ernie & crew. I know I'll have a great weekend & your work is appreciated.

Hey all give Ernie a little time, I was over helping him out yesterday with the pools which are now set. He now has to move around those that have requested riding with other players for the first day. I have asked him to make sure and start posting some "official" info on here so you guys/gals can get ready. Just be a little patient there is still plenty of time before the event and for you locals you know the courses already so shouldn't even matter. Most courses for each division will be played as they were last year with the exception of not using chalybeate and adding the new Phil Moore Park. He is taking time to get everything ready so once again please be patient.

pool are posted

pools are posted

nice!

hey, does anyone have a suggestion for a place i can park an RV for the weekend, other than the KOA. is there anywhere i can park and just sleep? i dont need water or electric hookup, just space. any suggestions?

A parking lot could do at Wal-Mart.

Phil Moore Park is to be used pro weekend at least, where is this course? Directions and a description would be nice.

where is the information on the host hotel

Will it be posted where each pool play, and when so we can start making plans?

Mini Thumber :confused:

Host Hotel to Phil Moore Park: Left out of Host Hotel onto Hwy 231 (Scottsville Rd) go 2.5 miles to park entrance on the right. Very easy to find and cannot be missed.

The Host Hotel info is...

Best Western � 270-782-3800
Microtel � 270-745-9922

**Mention BG Ams Championships for discounted rate**

Trying to find out if anybody is staying at the Host Hotel that may have a daughter playing in the Intermediate Women's division. Need help with transport. PM me

Have a couple of questions:

1. Since this is an A-Tier are collared shirts required?

2. Is the Players Party mandatory to attend?

Collared shirts were not required last year. I am not for sure if the players party is mandatory but last year you had to go becuase of the pool reshuffling.

Most people I saw didnt wear collared shirts last year so I'd say no, but the players party is not mandatory. The players meeting however is, if that is what you were referring to.

vern,do you even have a collared shirt?
see you at BG

Have a couple of questions:

1. Since this is an A-Tier are collared shirts required?

2. Is the Players Party mandatory to attend?




Yes, collared shirts, ties, slacks with a belt and dress shoes. Socks and under wear optional, but we don't want to know about that. :D Also every one dressed like that get's to play all four of their rounds at Natcher where they'll provide helmets in case you bump your head.

Something like this should be appropriate.

It'd be nice if everyone wore a collared shirt. People might start to think this is a legitimate sport played by people that don't fall under the stereotypes that we all know exist about discers.

I have a tie dyed collared shirt I might wear! rWc3523

Rule 3.4 Dress Code Page 14
Majors, NT (yes)
PDGA also recommends that this dress code be enforced
at Super Tour and lower tier events, but this decision lies
solely with the Tournament Director

I really hate to wear a collar when it's cold outside. rWc3523

I really hate to wear a collar when it's cold outside. rWc3523



Just flip the collar up and button it up all the way and it will protect your neck from the wind and cold. :cool:

It wouldn't be a bad idea in my opinion to dress somewhat decent for the tournament. I agree, for our sport to be more accepted by the masses, dressing more "professionally" might not be a bad idea. All too often I talk to people about disc golf and they kind of "shrug it off", they realize the fun of it, but don't comprehend it being more than throwing frisbees. Granted, it is throwing "frisbees" in essence, but it's so much more than that. Strategy, skill, wind, luck, disc selection, etc.
Might as well look "professional" even if we aren't, for the BIGGEST DISC GOLF TOURNEY IN THE WORLD!! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
end rant

I have GREAT news! We booked Joan Rivers to tell all of us how to dress for the tournament.

Collared shirts are only required for Pro players... I am wearing collared shirts this year but thats just because I got some pretty cheap and they look nice. I don't think I will ever have to wear cotton shirts to golf in again :)

I think we have to wait for the announcement at the players meeting. I've heard the Friday before, and the week before. Granted, it doesnt affect me cuz I'm a local, but I know how frustrating it is for you guys coming out of town, esp. the ones who have been driving here and practicing. I wish I could help you guys out more.

Since we are trying to find out information that we know isn't available yet... any knowledge on what could be in the BG players packs this year?

I was thinking possibly the Force from Discraft and DX San Marino Rocs from Innova but I don't know about anyone else. Obviously I am only guessing since I am asking the question.

I was hoping for a Daredevil Beaver from BG :p

Amen, expecially since my daughter will probably be on one course, and me another. Maybe Ill get lucky and her and I's pool will be on the same course.

Mini Thumber

Discraft Force - Would be Good, Maybe Innova will debut the new XCalibur (Believe that a run is complete and ready to be stamped, if I understood another post) - And that would be good. Just Please no more Green Beavers! One of the locals put in a new course nearby recently and the course was delayed and redesigned because of Beaver Dam (probably need to reverse the last two words) issues. He now finds it humorous to have Green Daredevil Beavers in the payout whenever he runs a tourney. At one point I had 5 of these things.

So how about Gas Cards in the Players Package?

XCalibur



I didn't even think about the XCalibur! Last year we got the DX Ontario Rocs which is why I was thinking about the DX Sannies but an overstable Destroyer would be much nicer :)

I was thinking maybe the Magic from Gateway but I don't know as much about them as some do on here. They might have a new disc in the works that I don't know about.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Surge SS in the players pack since they are coming out at the same time. I already ordered 2 forces so something different would be nice!

So how about Gas Cards in the Players Package?




:eek: :cool:, but interesting :)

A new Sannie Roc and a Discraft Force would be nice. Toss in a sparkle Rogue and a Magic and I'll be happy. ;) One overstable driver in the players' package is enough! :D

I have NO idea what is in the packages. Even when I knew last year I was sworn to secrecy, and wasnt allowed to have mine early. I can only take my best guess based on last year and say we'd get an INNOVA, Discraft, & Gateway disc. At this point, I'm about as informed as you guys.

A new Sannie Roc and a Discraft Force would be nice. Toss in a sparkle Rogue and a Magic and I'll be happy. ;) One overstable driver in the players' package is enough! :D



If I had to take a shot in the dark I'd put my money on a San Marino Roc, Magic, and Force. That would be a sweet enough package for me at least.

Well, Dude, I hope you're right! rWc3523

Well, Dude, I hope you're right! rWc3523



Be nice if I was right, but I wont know unless the TD asks for volunteers to set them up. And even when I know I'll be sworn to secrecy upon pain of death.

I just want to know what courses are being played by what Divisions. I'm driving in Wednesday the 26th and would like to beable to play 2 courses that day or at least walk them. Anyone need a ride on the way thats not out of the way? I'm comming from Florida up I-75

Hmm... I haven't been on this thread much...

[insert obligatory trash talk and self glorification]

There, I've officially done my part for this thread.

Nothing can be confirmed, but your best bet is going by this, and even this is not set in stone...

Adv: Kerieakes (long pads), White Park, Franklin (long pads), Phil Moore (not yet ready)

Int/Rec: Hobson, Preston, Basil, Lovers.

No one excpet the TD can say with 100% certainty so that's all I can tell you or anyone practicing here. Since I'm a local I just choose a course and drive out.

http://www.bgky.org/bgpr/athletics/images/phil_moore.gif - Map of Phil Moore, no distances listed but its something. Don't know if it has already been posted or not, but just in case figured I'd get it up.

alright, looking at advanced here's the way i see it shaking down. someone from ohio takes it this year. I don't even think it'll be estenbagger (AM1- Baggin -if anyone saw that t shirt last year it was awesome). Too many good players registered from ohio from north to south. kentucky gets smacked around because thats how kentucky rolls. michigan is so far north, they might as well be canadians. I don't know about you, but I've never met a canadian who could throw (no offense to the canucks, i just don't know very many canadians). I didn't mean to shut down the trash talking before it even got started, but there it is. Ohio is just too strong this year.

arent some of the highest rate players playing bg from MI. dirty glove love!

There are also a couple of MO boys this year that can climb that mountain. :cool:

Course information is up!!!!! The TD put this up on our boards.

In deed there will be a shuffle on Saturday night, A and B, C and D, E and F, and G and H. The PDGA expects the players to be placed together based on their scores. Coordinating rides may be an issue we know, sorry.

Courses played by pools, as follows:

Round 1

A Franklin
B Kereiakes
C Phil Moore
D White
E Griffin
F Preston
G Hobson
H Lovers


Round 2

A Kereiakes
B Franklin
C White
D Phil Moore
E Preston
F Griffin
G Lovers
H Hobson

As has been mentioned before, if weather does not allow us to use Phil Moore, then Advanced will play Hobson and Intermediate/Rec/Juniors will move to Chalybeate.

Anyone in the Intermediate G pool want to switch with me? I'm in the Intermediate E pool. I would like to switch to help with car pooling. I realize it's a small list, but it would help things out.

don't tell me that we will find out what courses we play on friday night(the night before the tournament),thats crazy,
i know the locals will know before that,and you got a course that isn't even ready yet.....come on boyz,let get it together
we all have been waiting and waiting,now it's time to let the cat out of the bag

did you read the post with the courses you'll be playing?? it's the one two above yours.
The comment of possibly not playing Phil Moore is due to the weather flooding it. It will be done before the event, if it wasn't going to be they wouldn't even advertise it.

So when do we find out what courses we are playing?


































just kidding...haha!!! :D

It'd be nice if everyone wore a collared shirt. People might start to think this is a legitimate sport played by people that don't fall under the stereotypes that we all know exist about discers.



Disc golf IS a legitimate sport regardless of players' wardrobes. Skateboarding (another unconventional sport of similar age) never forced participants to wear "uniforms" and ,partially, by embracing its counterculture roots, has become a multi-million dollar sport.

Do we really want disc golfers to look like Judge Smells?

p.s. Some of us actually DO fall into the stereotypes about discers. And I, for one, am proud to be a long-haired, hippy discer.

And, oh yeah. I have a room at the Marriott (Thurs. through Sat. night) if anyone still doesn't have a place to stay and wants to split the sweetest room in town with me. I'm paying $120 per/night but $50 per/night gets you a double bed. Let me know if interested.

You can be a long haired, hippy discer and still look respectable.

Disc golf IS a legitimate sport regardless of players' wardrobes.


Ultimately, we're not the ones to decide but society and the media outside our sport.

In response to the Canadian comment... Kim Scott Wood, and I think Elaine King - both Canucks.

You forgot the best Canuck pro... Nick "Biggie" Cassidy :eek:
None of them are AMs though, so they don't count :)

Hmm I just noticed Blair Bose in the field... I'd forgotten about him. Isn't he the same age as Wiggins and like 20 points higher rating? I'm surprised we never hear his name, at least not nearly as much as Wiggins.

Blair's a well kept secret from the south. I've seen him play. He's for real. I guess we're even. I have no idea who "Wiggins" is. rWc3523

Ah Wiggins is the under 13 world champ and holds under 13 distance record, I think he's on Innova's Scout Team too and he's been tearing it up in Open this winter from what I've seen down in the southeast. He's going to be a sick player, but I had forgotten just how good Blair was I remember playing on a card behind (or in front, not sure) one of the first two rounds of BG Ams in 2006 in Intermediate. Watching him throw was sick, he was so **** small and was outhucking me easy lol.

I am a procrastinator and am looking for a (cheap) room to split with someone for Friday and Saturday. I am in Intermediate (Pool E?) if that matters. Otherwise I will be sleeping in my car or popping caffeine pills all weekend, and spend my "sleep" time practicing the courses, any of these options work for me, but I prefer something indoors :-)
Please PM me if you have anything.
Thanks, your friendly host of PDGA Radio News

Blair knows the BG courses really well too! He'll be a force to reckon with both at this tournament and in the future.

I've had the honor of being beat by Blair at the rocket city super tournament last year, got to play 3 rounds with him on the top card, it was hard keeping up with em! (I finished 5th)
http://pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=6334

I can say i did beat him at a wooded course once :P a couple years ago

I think the AMs should be allowed at least one sweet course. Like Lovers.



I think the AMs should bee allowed to eat sweets and bring their lovers.

Ratings dont mean nothing if u dont bring your A+ game cuz there is 250+ advanced that could have a couple good rounds

I've played with Blair and his dad and if his game is on he could be a contender. He brings a crazy variety of shots flipping from lefty to righty.

Can we get him tested for Sports Enhancing Drug's?

Two last questions:

Will there be any homeless dudes available for caddying services? We often hire homeless dudes to caddy for us here but usually not during a sanctioned event. I think the PDGA has a few rules about caddie conduct but I was wondering that since it is basically charity that we do this, could we get a special homeless person exemption and not be penalized for some other person�s consumption?

Also, is there any way we can get Bob Evans added as a sponsor and have Biscuits & Gravy at the courses in the morning? We don�t have them here.

Are you kidding? That's how Kentucky rolls? I know plenty of people from Kentucky and the south that would tear up those wimpy courses in Ohio. The proof is the struggle I had to stay in the top 50% in the southern tournaments but the Ohio tourneys have been a breeze. There not as hard as the south. The only struggle in Ohio is the wind and cold. So bring your A game, yankee!

Something one of the older local guys put me up on a good idea for the BG Am's. Before you leave town to come to Kentucky, go to the bank and cash in for a few $2 bills. The more the better. Then while you're in town for the weekend, start slipping them here and there wherever you stop. Gas stations, restaurants, liquor stores..... If enough of the disc golfers did this, the local businesses would raise a brow. After the first day, people would wonder where all these $2 bills are coming from. In the long run, it would prove what a force disc golf can have on a community from an economical view. I'm hearing all the time how much more exposure DG would get if there were more revenue circulated. We as the players know how much it means to us. But the folks in your town council who have never heard of such a sport may have something else planned for that unused park property. My town is starving for more courses, we just have to prove the benefits to people who aren't very interested.
So, get a wad of $2 bills and bring them to Bowling Green. Spend them sparingly, so you can spread them around. Thats planting the seed. Soon, you should be able to use the news articles or commentary to your advantage. Let them know you're a disc golfer when you spend the $2 bills. If each registered player takes only 1 $2 bill and spends it somewhere down there, thats already $1,440 dollars you contribute back to their community, almost trackable since nobody really spends those things now days. Just food for thought!
I think if my city knew that if they were to build a few more courses close enough to link a tournament like this together, and the results could bring in an extra $500,000+ EVERY YEAR, it would be done. I say $500,000 because I know when I come down, other than my tourney fee, I'll spend $100+ on hotels, food, gas, and other stuff. Take that times the minimum 720 people that come in town. You do the math.

Too many good players registered from ohio from north to south. kentucky gets smacked around because thats how kentucky rolls. michigan is so far north, they might as well be canadians. I don't know about you, but I've never met a canadian who could throw (no offense to the canucks, i just don't know very many canadians). I didn't mean to shut down the trash talking before it even got started, but there it is. Ohio is just too strong this year.



Are you kidding? That's how Kentucky rolls? I know plenty of people from Kentucky and the south that would tear up those wimpy courses in Ohio. The proof is the struggle I had to stay in the top 50% in the southern tournaments but the Ohio tourneys have been a breeze. There not as hard as the south. The only struggle in Ohio is the wind and cold. So bring your A game, yankee!



I am pretty sure that last year ONE city (Columbus) in Ohio put two players in the top 5. I can't remember but how many players from Kentucky took a top 5 spot?

Careful Gentelman. Lil Wiggins is the real deal. He is maturing as we type. He throws 484ft, 5'2, weighs 125lbs, and is the real deal. 13yrs old. All that along with a great attitude, and you have a messto deal with. I'm sure Blair is great, I don't know, but Lil Wiggins, not so little anymore, is a great kid, and is awsome for this sport. He is a total joy to play with. If you get the opportunity to be carded with him, cherish it, you'll see what I mean. Just his personality brings life to the game. He never boast's about himself, he just brings it. If you see him, get his autograph, and follow him through his endeavors. You'll thank me later. Love the Kid, and so will you.

Mini Thumber, proud to have beaten him in one round in 2006 only :D

Man, I'm loving that $2 idea. I'm gonna do that for sure. I can afford to get $20 worth of em. Banks still carry those?

Disc golf IS a legitimate sport regardless of players' wardrobes.


Ultimately, we're not the ones to decide but society and the media outside our sport.

Back to the best AM tourny in the courntry(PERIOD).

Been there, done that, the tallest order no matter what, is #1.
Good luck to the warriors. #1 is still the tallest order.

Peace,

PS Chuck, no challenge, just trying to get the new AMs on our page.

i dont understand how placing 7th of 9 and and 19th of 26 means that ohio courses are "a breeze". actually, i dont see how any of that can even bring any sort of conclusion at all. that statement doesnt make much sense to me, for or against KY, OH, or 'the south' as you put it

There is a pretty strong contingent coming from Carolina playas, pretty strong.

It breaks down like this. Over the last 3 years, here's the top 5 states and how many fifnished in the top 20:
07-MI (6); KY (3); IL (3); OH (2); TN (2)---IA (1-1st place)

06-KY (3, 1st place); IL (3); OH-TN-OK-AL-MI-IA (2 ea.)

05-KY (4, 1st place); IA (4); MI (4); OH (2); ON, CANADA-NC-KS-ME-IL-OK-AZ (1 ea.)

I see exactly how Kentucky rolls. Pretty **** tough. And last year the MI boys locked up nearly 1/3 of the top 20. Thats representing right there.

Says a guy whose best finish in Ohio sanctioned events has been 15th out of 30?

Burn!

Burn!



You need some ointment?

Something one of the older local guys put me up on a good idea for the BG Am's. Before you leave town to come to Kentucky, go to the bank and cash in for a few $2 bills. The more the better. Then while you're in town for the weekend, start slipping them here and there wherever you stop. Gas stations, restaurants, liquor stores..... If enough of the disc golfers did this, the local businesses would raise a brow. After the first day, people would wonder where all these $2 bills are coming from. In the long run, it would prove what a force disc golf can have on a community from an economical view. I'm hearing all the time how much more exposure DG would get if there were more revenue circulated. We as the players know how much it means to us. But the folks in your town council who have never heard of such a sport may have something else planned for that unused park property. My town is starving for more courses, we just have to prove the benefits to people who aren't very interested.
So, get a wad of $2 bills and bring them to Bowling Green. Spend them sparingly, so you can spread them around. Thats planting the seed. Soon, you should be able to use the news articles or commentary to your advantage. Let them know you're a disc golfer when you spend the $2 bills. If each registered player takes only 1 $2 bill and spends it somewhere down there, thats already $1,440 dollars you contribute back to their community, almost trackable since nobody really spends those things now days. Just food for thought!
I think if my city knew that if they were to build a few more courses close enough to link a tournament like this together, and the results could bring in an extra $500,000+ EVERY YEAR, it would be done. I say $500,000 because I know when I come down, other than my tourney fee, I'll spend $100+ on hotels, food, gas, and other stuff. Take that times the minimum 720 people that come in town. You do the math.



heh, I like it...
2weeks til our crew does the 8hour gettin there, hotel checkin, tourney checkin...

Nice burn! Since every tourney I've played in Ohio sanctioned or not was the 1st time I played those courses. As the record shows I still placed in the top 50% in Ohio. I'm not trying to bash Ohio but don't talk trash about how Ohio has more dominate disc golfers. I have seen some nice courses in Ohio and so far every one that I have met has been very nice. To me though as a sub par disc golfer the lay out of the courses in ohio, that I have played, are mainly wide open with very few trees. In my opinion this does not make a challenging course. Once again as the record shows Kentucky rolls with the best and usually has the top spots. Remember something CW, I showed up and played the courses without practice or even knowing the layout. I think that's pretty good, for a sub par player.

i hope your (censored) means atheist. because referring to someone with a different sexual orientation as defining who they are is simply idiotic and ignorant. i know you are quoting, and trying to alleviate the situation, but even the same it sounds prejudiced.

and i will second that the post above be fixed or removed. i know the smack talk is in good fun, but when you use someones race, gender, or sexual orientation as a demeaning generalization, you're not only being childish but also making a mockery of this site.


back to buisness, would you kids suggest that someone who hasnt been there before and has limited time,

1 walk as many of the courses as i can in the time i have.
2 play as many as i have time for, which means not see them all
3, play the doubles at a course to get a tiny bit of experience there,
4 screw it and just go in blind

i wont have alot of time, i may have time to walk them all, but not play any. should i just play one course or a few holes on each? im playing am2 so that factors in.

thanks

The funny thing is I have seen JD do most of those thing all at the same time. One time he was hugging a tree, while drinking a latte, trying to light a flag on fire and sing Marilyn Manson at the same moment. Unfortunately all he did was get a splinter and second degree burns from the flag and coffee.

I'm just keeping this bumped to the top every now and then. This isn't the only place us golfers check so for this to work better, tell anyone you can get ahold of. myspace, your local club message board, or where ever you may bump into anyone attending this event. It's for the game, folks!

Ok, here's a little Cincinnati recent history at BG Ams:

'06 - 2nd Zeigler

13th Estenfelder

'04 - 1st Diemler

The joke went way over your head dude. You obviously dont understand the irony of me being a southernor, yet making fun of southern stereotypes about what we think of the north.

You act as if mainstream society rejects disc golfers because we're all neo-cons, and its holding the sport back yet at the same time you come onto this site and ramble like a drunken sailor spewing out curse words for children to read.

At least it became a YouTube hit!

Ummm, yeah I do. By making a joke about southern stereotypes, and their ignorant views on the north I've used Socratic Irony.

So, is it illegal to just write "DISC GOLF" in big letters across the front of the bills? Because that would make people aware of where the money was coming from while not messing with the clerks at your local stores (your standard cash register only has 4 slots for cash, right?).

I also like the idea of drawing sunglasses on the presidents before spending the money.

Then again there is no reason that couldn't just be done on $2 bills!

(But remember, don't spend 'em at the flymart!)

I was wondering about that. He started another thread about someone wanting to ban him from tourney play for talking too much on this site. I actually defended him saying he should be thanked and what-not for the info, until I read what he wrote. I personally think that was very tasteless of you "dude" despite whatever reasoning you have for writing that. I think you may have just embarassed the whole Bowling Green Disc Golf community. I do agree though that whoever responded with the f-in d bag was lowering themselves with that response. Unneccesarily.

This must be the head honcho who wants to ban him. If anything, I think everyone appreciates his information because it seems he is the only one in Bowling Green letting everyone on the outside know anything. HB has gotten on a few times and that was awesome of him. Other than that, no "official" information seems to be coming from the club with the exception of the vendors that are running your doubles.

Within the last two weeks, official info was posted as to pool assignments. A few days ago, course assignments were posted. If you think you can coordinate 720 players and 8 courses before you even know how many people are in each division, then you get my vote for TD of the year. Lighten up on the BG club. They are working thier butts off trying to make a huge tourny run as smoothly as possible.

There has been a lack of communication for the largest AM tournament around...

Fine, he is not the "official" spokesperson. Someone SHOULD be and be posting here.

ahem, Kim came second to Estenbagger at this event in 2005, and while Marcus is still playing the Am field, Scott-Wood was last years PDGA Pro Rookie of the Year.

Elaine continues her strong play winning the USWDGC in 2007.

No offense taken, come north and we'll even accept your greenbacks at Par! :D

All information about the BG Ams is available at www.bgdgclub.com (http://www.bgdgclub.com) and the tournament directors email and the club presidents email is available. Sorry for any miscommunications

Just wondering out loud...how soon should I saddle up to get to Kentucky? I will be coming from Austin, Tx...yall.

I've got a good horse, my favorite cowboy hat, a canteen, some chew, one spur, leather chaps, a change of drawers, and a couple frisbees.

Did I mention my red ropers?...and my red ropers to match my turquois belt buckle.

Dont worry, Josh Dobelstein, after this tournament and BG Open I'm through with all of you.

cant we all just get along

: ) :

More people go to the PDGA website so why not put any info here for us to see. Thanx Dude for all the info if it wasnt for you and HB alot of us would be in the dark.

I just got done talking with the TD (Ernie Small). He is sorry that he hasn't been on posting. He has been using the BG website to put all the info. I have asked him to come on here and post so you would have official info not info second hand from others (especially JD). I will try and help him out with that as I am now so if you guys need info and can't get answers let me know. Here is the pool listing by course.

The Bowling Green Disc Golf Club appreciates dude trying to keep people informed. We will make sure the club appoints someone to mange it on the pdga site next year, to avoid any miscommunications......thanks for the input. We just wanted to clarify certain comments/opinioins don't represent the club.......no hard feelings.
