A big thanks to Ernie for taking the torch and putting in the time and energy as a volunteer to run the BIGGEST Am event in the world. Larry thanks for posting the info and for running this event the last (3) years that we've been to BG.

I just wanted to add the ONLINE REGISTRATION LINK (http://www.sunkingdiscs.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1449) for the Sun King Disc Sport Doubles at Kereiakes & Lovers Lane.

Mike Barnett

I appreicate the Dude's comments along the way about the tourney, as well as the additional posts from others adding. I have only played in three tourney's in my life ( although I am 29 and have played on and off since High School), and never this biggie. I found going to the BG webiste and coming here was plenty of info - dare I say I feel prepared; a little effort to look for what you need goes a long way. Great work to all, and I can't wait for the weekend.

Cory #34099

the site with course maps is sweet be nice if they also had scorecards with distances on them or can some one local give us that info say for lovers hobson basil and preston just wondering it looks like the first 3 have changed so little from when i play there in the shoe sensation way back been a long time cant wait 2 play them again

I'm sure Dude didn't mean to be dis-tasteful in his comments. They were primarily directed at the North/South tradition that dates back in history. He means well I'm sure. Apoligise DUDE, and let's get back to regulary scheduled programming. This is the biggest tnmt in history, and BGDG is putting on a remarkable event, that is/will not be easy, but they are successful. Thanks BGDG.

Now, are the courses Cart friendly for those of us that have push carts, and can we get them around?, and have we setteled the dress attire collared/no collar?
Mini Thumber, :cool:

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.



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!



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!)



By law it's illegal to deface government property, but we all have received a bill with writing on it. I think if you just write in the border it would catch people attention. I'm in! As for JD, you have to know him to understand his humor. JD is a great guy to know and to play with. There's been times that I've been suckin it up and JD makes a comment that makes me laugh and I forget about the poor play I just made.

i will be up on thrusday,i need a partner for the doubles at the bigK course(kereiakes)
JD is alright,give the dude a break

Forgiven here, and I hope elswhere also. Please players, don't write on $2.00 bills, if the message got through as intended, it could backfire. Give the cashire a sticker or something, or leave a sticker on the counter, and say thanks for having us out of towners.

Mini Thumber :D

Yes, PLEASE don't write on the bills. there's no need. How often do you see a cashier giving you back a $2 bill as change? Or see them spent, for that matter. Most people are saving them for good luck or something. I'm telling you guys, this could be VERY EFFECTIVE! I'm confident this would make the papers, get DG some buzz.

Nats Disc Golf Course at Phil Moore Park is ready to play...........installation is complete. 55 is the course record so far.........

Nats Disc Golf Course at Phil Moore Park is ready to play...........installation is complete. 55 is the course record so far.........



So does this mean that INT/Rec will play Hobson?

what kind of baskets are at the new course?

: ) :

Now that we have the pools settled, courses to be played, hotel arrangements, Thursday and Friday events, does anyone know if any store in Bowling Green has Yuengling? Someone told me that it was available in BG. I may need a few after Phil Moore and White on day one.

Great Job Ernie for taking on this tremendous undertaking!! Thanks for all you do! See everyone in a couple weeks!!

I think I say Yuengling in BG. There's a great, I mean GREAT, beer store on Scottsville Road near the Motel 6 that has so much beer you'll think you died and went to Germany. Well, you get the idea. Single bottles, starting at $1.50 and up. I'm looking forward to a nice chocolate stout. It's nice to get a box and pick up an assortment to enjoy! Ah, BG AMS!

rWc3523

Mach 3's at Nats/Phil Moore........

3523 what would you know about German Beer?, and has it been finalized what courses Rec will play yet?

Mini Thumber ;)

Quoted from Larry Bledsoe from a couple of pages below.


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 guy that was splitting a room with me at the Best Western had to back out. So I am left to a room by myself anyone want to split a room at the Best Western pool side? The cost per night total is $55. I have the room from wednesday till sunday.

Time is counting down. here is the info for the players package disc.

All Adv Divisions: Innova Pro Destroyer, Discraft FLX SS Surge,Gateway Supersoft Magic,DGA Shocwave

All Int/Rec Divisions: Innova Dx Destroyer, Discraft FLX SS Surge,Gateway Supersoft Magic

All Jr Divisions: Discraft FLX SS Surge,Gateway Supersoft Magic

As for Phil Moore that will be decided early next week, the only reason they wouldn't use it is if there were lots of rain that was to come in on Thur or thru the weekend as this coursre will be real swampy. Will let you know or others will once they hear anything but for now plan on playing the courses based on previous post of pool schedule.

Definitely looking forward to the FLX SS Surge and the SS Magic. Dont need the Destroyer, nor the Shockwave.

I'll take them for the kids I work with.

I think I say Yuengling in BG. There's a great, I mean GREAT, beer store on Scottsville Road near the Motel 6 that has so much beer you'll think you died and went to Germany. Well, you get the idea. Single bottles, starting at $1.50 and up. I'm looking forward to a nice chocolate stout. It's nice to get a box and pick up an assortment to enjoy! Ah, BG AMS!
rWc3523



Do you happen to know the name of this place?

Definitely looking forward to the FLX SS Surge and the SS Magic. Dont need the Destroyer, nor the Shockwave.



I'll trade you mine for your Destroyers. :D

There are actually a couple really good beer stores right there. The one he is referring to is called Greenwood Spirit Shoppe or the Cheese Shoppe, the name has changed a few times. It is right on Scottsville Rd across from Fazolli's. There is another great store on down Three Spring Road called Chuck Evans that also caries a pretty good selection of micro and craft brews.

Definitely looking forward to the FLX SS Surge and the SS Magic. Dont need the Destroyer, nor the Shockwave.



I'll trade you mine for your Destroyers. :D



I'm willing to make the trade whenever the tourney rolls around.

i love that surge ss, it makes it look like i can actually throw backhand!

i love that surge ss, it makes it look like i can actually throw backhand!



Where are you guys getting your Surge SS'? Theyre not on the Discraft site so I'm curious.

umm uhhh, :o:o

actually i was working on my backhand, which i dont have much of one and a discraft pro that i know handed it to me. thought i might like it, and i do. oh boy, i do.



i love that surge ss, it makes it
look like i can actually throw backhand!

:D

Guess my predictions on the player's pack were off a bit. I'm happy about the Magic and SS FLX Surge, but not to keen on a pro Destroyer. I'd trade the Destroyer for a Surge any time. But hey, I'm glad they're keeping up the great BG Ams tradition of a cool player's pack! rWc3523

I can only throw (or only choose to throw) Gateway so I'm up for trades come tourney time. Let me know if you want my Surge and my Destroyer! I'll take the magic's.

I'll probably want to try out the Magic, unless it's too slick. I putt with old semi-soft Wizards. rWc3523

i would offer to make trades, but with all the people there, im sure you can trade and get 4 of one thing if you want. no sense in trying to arrange that online.

Russ,

I will take that Destroyer off your hands! You can have any Discraft you want!

Later,

Mike D

Good move Mike trying to line up as many Destroyers as possible. You will need them when you chuck them in the water in Chattanooga at the Grapevine Classic on 4/19....DOH! :cool:

Now that we have the pools settled, courses to be played, hotel arrangements, Thursday and Friday events, does anyone know if any store in Bowling Green has Yuengling? Someone told me that it was available in BG. I may need a few after Phil Moore and White on day one.

Great Job Ernie for taking on this tremendous undertaking!! Thanks for all you do! See everyone in a couple weeks!!



The one that's on Scottsville rd isn't bad but I oerfer the one on Campbell Ln. They have there own brewery there with half gallon and gallon glass jugs that you can fill yourself. The prices are a little bit better too. It's on the way the Preston Miller.

What about Oberon? Can you find it down there or do I have to bring my own?

Now this is what I call truly useful information!!! :cool:

One question: Do you have to bring your own container for the 1/2 or gallon??

Mikey D. You got it! I'll take the Force. I have a first run star Destroyer I plan on using later on. I'm throwing all Discraft drivers right now and loving them! I'll see you at the hotel! Will you have any room in your vehicle? I'll be needing a ride once again. rWc3523

Ok, someone in BG make a map to the good beer stores! Believe me, it would be used! ;) rWc3523

yes it would...and you did say store(s) /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Good luck KDiscn - I have my on order from folks driving down from K-zoo. When are they releasing it this year?

I just secured $100 in $2 bills for BG!

I work in a bank and for some reason they've got several hundered!

E

Ok, someone in BG make a map to the good beer stores! Believe me, it would be used! ;) rWc3523



Seriously, the only one that I know of is Greenwood (or whatever it is called). Not to put it down, I love that place! But if I need to bring a growler, it would be good to know ahead of time so I can pack it.

Good luck KDiscn - I have my on order from folks driving down from K-zoo. When are they releasing it this year?



5 Days 3/24. I am taking the day off work to go to the brewery. It will make up for working on St pats.

USEFUL INFORMATION REGARDING BEER IN KY:

You CANNOT buy beer on Sunday in BG. Make sure you buy everything you need on Saturday or earler. It seems that people always forget this and are left with nothing to drink while watching the Final 9.

Yes, I was one of them last year. had to settle for a leftover bud light. Anyone planning on bring some home brew? I'd love to check out some stuff from around the states. I'll see if my buddy plans on bringing some of his. It's dro!

Watch me get yelled out for this too. :D

As a matter of fact, I am bringing down LOTS of my award winning ales with me from Michigan.

*Cream Stout
*Belgian Dubbel
*Irish Red
*American Brown Ale

Nope! They have them there. I haven't tried it but I heard it was good. T think it's called Bowling Green brewery. They have a huge selection of other beers though and unlike the one on scottsville rd there all in a cooler!

Ok, someone in BG make a map to the good beer stores! Believe me, it would be used! ;) rWc3523



I can't make the map but the 3 I know of are real easy to get too. 1st one is right in front of the mall on scottsville rd. If you go to the 4 way intersection of scottsville rd and campbell ln(to the left) and Lovers ln(to the right) take a left. This is coming from I-65 towards town. Best Buy will be on the left of the intersection. Take a left and go about 2-3 miles till you see a Blockbuster video on the left. Shannigans will be tucked in the last part of the strip mall. If you keep going stright like your going to Preston Miller you'll see the 3rd one to the left right before you get to Preston. It sits across the rd from a service station/taco bell. Sorry I forgot the name to this one but it's where the mico brewery is located. You can't miss it.

Mark where are you stayin buddy :cool:

Hmmmmm. /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif ...I just had an idea


For Sale: Sunday Beer $100.00 each....And I won't accept any of those goofy $2.00 bills with your sharpie stains all over them... :cool:

Chuck's liquors is one of our sponsors, they have great beer selection and their own brew from the Bowling Green Brewing Co. Please support our sponsors, they have four stores in town all close to the courses and the host hotel;
1660 Scottsville Rd
575 Veterans Memorial Ln
386 Three Springs Rd
3513 Louisville Rd
Check them out

the TD

Will they take $2:00 bills. Here we go BG, it's almost time.

Hemi Time 200hrs

Mini Thumber :cool:

Chuck's it is, then! Isn't there a Chuck's within walking distance of the host hotel? I like to patronize the sponsors. Too bad there's not a way to get the $2 bill idea out to people who don't get on the forum. I'll try and pass the word on to some folks on another, uh, regional forum. I'll grab as many as we can and I might grab $10 or $20 in $1 coins just for fun. There are three of us that will spread them around. Lord knows I always drop a lot of $$$ in BG! rWc3523

Mark where are you stayin buddy :cool:



Best Western with all the other guys from Michigan. Of course, the Flint Town Flyerz will have the most fun room... :D

Howz about a beer tasting, Mark? I'd love to try some home brew! ;)

Just so happens I'll be at the host hotel too! rWc3523

I don't care! I am bringing more than the members of my club can drink.

I was serious about the award winning.

http://knaves.org/DMC/victor/VICTORS2008.htm

Category 20 & 27.

I just secured $100 in $2 bills for BG!

I work in a bank and for some reason they've got several hundered!

E



Thats GREAT!. And if you didn't already plan on it, try to get people to buy some of the $2 bills off you. As long as you spread a few around, let some of the people who didn't catch wind of this in on the movement. I firmly believe this will get a strong buzz around town even after we all go back home.


As far as the home brew goes, I'll be at Econolodge. I plan on getting with a couple of the Louisville guys and playing some Hold 'Em as well. If anyone wants to save my number in their cellphone it's (502) 500-9084 and I'll have it with me. I'm cool with any disc golfer who isn't an [censored] so if you wanna play some cards or hook me up with a sample of your brew, give me a ring.

I got a rough draft of the course overviews here, will work on improving it soon:

http://daviesscountydiscgolfclub.webs.com/bgamscourseoverview.htm



Added White and Kareiakas to the overviews.

http://daviesscountydiscgolfclub.webs.com/bgamscourseoverview.htm

A.J. from Wisconsin gave me a Summit IPA, I think, and it was good . Do they have that in BG? If not, can someone bring some down and holler at me?
BTW Thank you "dude" for the info.

And if Mark runs out (which I doubt) there will be at least 1 other brewer with their wares there.

Mine comes in Kegs though.... :o:D:p

SOFT SUPER PUPPIES - 1983/1993 Huntsville Worlds Stamped (some grey, some white)

I'll be bringing a small stack of these for $20 each (as they're officially now a collector's item)

Anyone in Pool G runs into a guy named Jebb you're in the right place ;)

Definitely looking forward to the FLX SS Surge and the SS Magic. Dont need the Destroyer, nor the Shockwave.


Shockwave is the greatest disc to come out this year, followed by the destroyer. (strictly my opinion)

Anyone looking to get that Magic off your hands. Let me know. I'm in Pool G. Will pay $ or trade, etc...

Jebb, is the Shockwave anything like a Roc or A Buzzz. Can't really tell from photos and haven't seen one in person. From what I've read, I might like this one. rWc3523

And if Mark runs out (which I doubt) there will be at least 1 other brewer with their wares there.

I probably won't run out, but Todd makes beer in the more hoppier category. So, if you are a hop-head, he is your brewer! :D

Todd are you staying in the host as well? I have had some of Mark's beer and I look forward to trying some of yours.

Todd are you staying in the host as well? I have had some of Mark's beer and I look forward to trying some of yours.



Yeah, Todd at at the Best Western as well. Unless you like Stout, that beer was probably not for you. I am bringing more of a selection this time! :D

To me a Shockwave is a less stable version of a Gateway Demon. It is much more stable than a Roc or Buzzz.

I very much enjoy your stout, I thought your beer was great. I also enjoy hops and wheats and lambic and barleywine and well you name it and I'll drink it. Home brews are special.

If I knew that you had liked it, I would have brought you some when I was over for Lumberjack...

Hey all, just checking in an letting folks know that Phenix Disc Sports will be out at our sponsored courses (Lovers Lane & Kereiakes) during the rounds on Saturday & Sunday allowing players to "test drive" their new CORE Bag (http://phenixdiscsports.com/). Lovers Lane will have (4) available each round and and Kereiakes will have (6). Sign-ups will be a first come, first served basis before the round starts.

Here is the ONLINE REGISTRATION LINK (http://www.sunkingdiscs.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1449) for the doubles at Lovers Lane and Kereiakes.

Thanks,
Mike Barnett

Any Idea who I need to contact to have someone changed from pool g to pool f - int.

Dude, can you answer the question. Are the Rec courses cart friendly?. Have my $2:00 bills ready. This could be fun
Mini Thumber, official beer taster :p

Cart friendly question:
I've played all but Hobson and here's my take.

Lovers - A Cart pullers dream, Grassy with gentle slopes (other than a couple).
Griffin - Back Nine is open and smooth - the front will present a couple challenging places but it's usable.
Preston - This could present the biggest challenge. Holes are short and in tight places in the woods. Might be ok but carrying a bag is probably easier.
Hobson - From what I've heard it should be easy cart material.

Jerry D

Any Idea who I need to contact to have someone changed from pool g to pool f - int.



The TD. I contacted him via the contact on the PDGA Schedule page.

To answer the cart friendliness...

Lovers- Oh yeah!
Hobson- A few holes would be rough, but all in all yes.
Preston- Sorta. Depends on the hole really.
Griffin- Holes 1, 2, 8, & 9 not really. Everything else is fine.

If you have a cart then yeah you use it. Some holes on the wooded courses may be a little troublesome but for the most part you shouldnt have to worry about anything.

Any Idea who I need to contact to have someone changed from pool g to pool f - int.

I got changed too. If it is for transportation reasons, they're really accomodating. But there's a sort [more comonly called a "shuffle," but its not like they're going to shuffle!] on Saturday night, so it only solves the problem for one day.

so how much rain happened over the last couple days...?
lookin like more's on the way... c'mon sunshine, I'd like to play PhillyMoore

Mar 26 Wednesday
Chance of showers. Highs in the mid 60s and lows in the low 50s.
Mar 27 Thursday
Showers. Highs in the low 60s and lows in the upper 40s.
Mar 28 Friday
Showers. Highs in the low 60s and lows in the upper 40s.
Mar 29 Saturday
Some sun with a few showers possible. Highs in the low 60s and lows in the upper 30s.






Weather.Com showed 2" of rain from yesterday.

transportation is the main reason, I play with those guys often though. I'm lookin forward to chunkin my plastic better than a bunch of strangers! :o

Thanks Dude, have cart will travel, 3 wheel drive, LOL

Mini Thumber, Hemi time184hrs :cool:

I also requested some changes made to accomodate our carpooling, I found people who also needed changes (on this board) and we requested a swap of two G --> H. If you post what you need maybe someone on here can help you out.

CASH PRIZE FOR THE BEST DOUBLES SCORE!!!!

Hobson Grove Doubles � 8am- 4pm flex time signup, (payout for the top 50% for each day) ($20 per team, players packs for each player (MAGIC, WIZARD, WARLOCK), did I mention CASH PRIZE FOR THE BEST DOUBLES SCORE!!!! ADDED CASH TO THE DOUBLES ACE FUND!!! radar gun both days, $1 per throw or 6 for $5, 100% payout in prizes for top 5 fastest throws

BTW: due to the high levels of rain there is no promise of playing Phil Moore, Advanced players don't blow off HOBSON GROVE !!!!

Are the doubles going to be division based or just encompass everyone?

Doubles will be for everyone!!

It would be fun to be Dude's doubles partner. Has the attitude of having fun. That is the focus right.

Mini Thumber :)

One of the sponsors, Wah Bah, a bar and indoor grill resturant with a huge outdoor area (and bar) is setting up a four hole course, under lights, for the week.
Thursday HB will be hosting a putting contest under the lights for the bar.
Time is from 7-9

Friday and Saturday Former world champ Buddy will be playing with his band, and doing putting demos as well.

Plan on stopping in and ask the bartender for the disc golf specials.
This is located at the intersection of hwy 880 and us 68.
That is between Miller Park and Lovers Lane Park (which are both on hwy 880

It would be fun to be Dude's doubles partner. Has the attitude of having fun. That is the focus right.

If you bring me a rug that can really tie my room together then yeah I'll be your partner.

Not sure if this has been done, but could someone please post or re-post a map of BG with the courses highlighted. Also any areas of interest or areas related to the tourney. We start our journey in 5 days and don't want to be lost. Thanks! See ya in BG!!!

CASH PRIZE FOR THE BEST DOUBLES SCORE!!!!




accepting cash in doubles only makes you half a pro, so its okay... ;)

Is there any information on Phil Moore? Only thing I've seen in south on Scottsville Rd. and course record a 55..and a little map with nothing on it..

Sound like it might big huge "D" holes? Feet? what can an 920 rated player expect to shoot?

A 920 player might shoot well at Hobson if the rain continues :) I hear that a couple of baskets were completely under water the other day at Phil Moore.

So, I thought the $2 bill idea was great one. I went to my credit union yesterday to pick up 15 of them. However, they do not offer that denomination unless I wanted to order a pack. Get this, the pack has a minimum of 2,000 bills! Needless to say I passed on that one and am now hoping to buy some from one of you. Why don't those of you with access (or $4,000 haha) bring extra to sell to those who either don't know about this or can't get any. Can't wait till we leave on Wed.!! Idlewild Thursday morning and then BG!! Staying at the host-bring on the hallway mini-dubs! Bernie, Motor City Chain Gang

I went to play Phil Moore today. Muddy and flooded! I had to quit after 5 holes simply because I couldnt walk it. With the unfortunate rain coming in next week I dont expect it to be played. Such a shame too cuz what few holes I played were pretty challenging. It's still the TD's call, but if I were him I'd say no.

I expect that convenience stores and fast food places get $2 bills during the week. If you ask them for change in $2 bills (if they have any), you might be able to collect enough of them before heading to BG. They are probably happy to get them out of their till and might even sell what they have to you.

Selling money for money. That's like one of those paradoxes that could destroy the world. Like google-ing google.

You can get a real deal if you use $3 bills to buy the $2 bills...

that doesn't sound too cool
does phil moore get dumpy before the other courses or should we expect mud @ all courses next weekend?

Go to a different bank and get them

Go to a different bank and get them



I was under the impression that you need an account at a financial institution to do business there. However, I will try the local merchant idea-thanks Chuck

I work at a bank, and I am sure they will be glad to give you their 2 dollar bills. I would

Yes please, and put the WahBah bar on that also if you can. That sounds like a blast. $2:00 bills can be obtained at about all banks. Credit Unions not so much. I found 3-3 banks, they all had them.

Mini Thumber, Cool Vanilla Hemi Time T-150hrs :D

I was at bg yesterday. Played basil (a couple of holes under water). Lovers was not too muddy and neither was hobson. Can't wait for next weekend!!!

Getting plenty of warm up in the wind out here in PA lately. Can wednesday get here any sooner, I am ready to leave now

Any course has the potential to get muddy after as much rain as we have had here this winter. However most drain pretty well on most of the holes. Keriakes and Lovers drains pretty well and I am assuming with the layout Franklin will drain well too, Hobson, Griffin, Preston, and Chalybeate(if played) drain pretty well but have a couple of problem areas if it has rained recently. Phil Moore's problem is that it is at the bottom of some hills with a large creek running beside some of the holes.

Moore is a really nice course that if it is ready I believe will be fun to play. However, I went out today as well and IMHO I think we are going to have to have a week of sunny dry weather for it to be there.

An early secure and definete plan, is better than a perhaps plan on short notice as we are at now.

Mini Thumber ;)

It's kinda funny what this tourney does to some of us. It's like Christmas for adults (and juniors). The anxiousness leading up to the weekend and all. Checking in and unwrapping your players package. Comparing your new goodies to the peoples around you. The stamps and weights and colors. Trying to see who's got what in their bag. And then who's got what in their bag. Ahhhhhh......Bowling Green Am's!

yeah, looking forward to a major tourney is definitely like Chrismas. I'll go through holes from courses for an upcoming tourney in my head before I sleep. the antisipation is killin' me I tell ya!

To anyone interested in the $2 bill things. Go to a local scrap metal yard and or recycling place. They always seem to have a ton of $2 bills and $1 coins for some reason. I'm sure they are willing to trade out the bills.

Getting close, cant wait to get to BG Fri. morning.

They cannot predict the weather, so they are doing the best they can. They want us to play the best courses possible; they just do not know if it will be flooded. They are only going to change 1 course if the weather makes them. I think this is a pretty darn good plan and would like to play the best courses available if the weather will cooperate!

I love this tournament, way to go BG!!!

cleanup day around town today went well, courses are looking really good.......phil moore course has top of the line accomodations, and will be playable 11 months out of the year. our early secure and definate contingent plan has been set for 6 months now........thanks for the input. enjoy the new course......

Good Job Josh (groove), we have had enough rain, now it's time to play. We can drink and be merry LOL

I know I just asked a few days ago , but could someone please post a map of BG with all the courses highlighted, and also any areas that might be associated with the tourney. It's our first time in BG and I don't want to be lost or miss out on any events. Please HELP! Thanks in advance.

Here is an interactive map with the courses on it. Last year there was also a printed copy in the info from the check in.

I am sure its been covered, but are there websites with pictures of the courses in and around Bowling Green. Namely the ones that the Advanced players are going to be using?

I don't care! I am bringing more than the members of my club can drink.

I was serious about the award winning.

OK. Mine's not 'award winning' however, I'll take the "Pepsi Challenge" any day of the week.

Comming down to Bowling Green.
I'll take all challengers.

Forecast across the midwest appears to be 35 mile per hour winds for Tuesday! Anybody else planning on some field work in that to prep? Hah

I was doing field work in 30-35mph winds last week.

Still waiting on word about Hobson vs. Phil Moore.

From the rumors about the muddy and slick course condition, it seems likely that the biggest am tournament of the year would make the right decision to play hobson for the advanced field.

Is there any chance that we'd know before the end of the week?

Erick

hope for the best, and stay positive. everybody was playing it yesterday, and said the course should be in the adv am and the pro tourney. it don't matter where we play, the bg boys are going to dominate all divisions this year..........:) here is the local extended forcast for this week...looks like its going to be a nice weekend after a few showers thursday and friday.

You and hundreds of others as well Chris. We are trying to play out our day on Friday and it makes it very tough when we don't even know where we will be playing for sure.

Watch out for the boyz and lady comming out of North East..
NEFA will be there to represent in full effect..
MARSHALL STREET !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Madc will be nicely represented as well...

I believe at last count there will be about 39 players from the Northeast on their way..

Erick

Sheesh! How does it make it difficult not knowing which of the "TWO" courses your going to play? Go practice on both P/M and Hobson. The others are your regular courses its not like they put in pop up windmills or plaster dinosaurs thats going to make them all super crazy. :D
:D:D

Anyone sticking around on Monday willing to go up to Burlington and play Idlewild? I'm headed up there if anyone wants to join in.

Are there addresses for the courses available? The driving directions and the maps are nice, but for those of us with GPS units, plugging in a street address is just the best way to find your way around town.

Thanks.

From HB's last post on the club website it does seem as if Phil Moore is going to be played after all, even if it's muddy. But he didnt say whether it would be for sure. I wish some word got out so you guys would know, but until then we have to play the waiting game like we did with the pools. I guess everyone just needs to be patient. It will all work itself out, and I'm sure everyone will enjoy themselves regardless of any possible change.

i bet the BG'ers already know
but just in case i'm going to play them both on tuesday,and i have to play white,i hear that it will be WINDY tomorrow

Good advice and I thank you, but the coordinates are not listed for all of the courses. (Plus a street address is way easier to type in.)

Ah comeon Drew, one popup windmill please. LMFAO, during the winter is when the plaster reindeer come out right.

No Plaster Dinosaurs = Boring

Good advice and I thank you, but the coordinates are not listed for all of the courses. (Plus a street address is way easier to type in.)



I have the same problem when I go to the courses I have never played before, I can almost never find the street address for the park and I don't think I can even type in coordinates. I don't know what kind of GPS you have but I usually use that PDGA course link and click on the map. Then my GPS has an entry for intersections and I type in the closest one I can find. I live in the area but honestly I have no idea any of the addresses I just know where to turn.

i bet the BG'ers already know
but just in case i'm going to play them both on tuesday,and i have to play white,i hear that it will be WINDY tomorrow



I know and will send you a PM with the true courses for the low price of $9.95.... But wait if you act in the next 10 minutes I will also throw in where the windmills and plaster dinosaurs will be for FREE. You get all four courses, the location of the dinosaurs, and windmills for the low, low price of $9.95. But act fast supplies are running out.

td says it will be a last minute call.....most of our courses are built in bad, unusable areas, if we get rain, several of the courses have problems.....just man up, and bring your A game:)......

I would think the main concern should be the wear on the course. A few hundred rounds in a short time span on a really muddy course could mean months (if not years) of healing. Save the course, it will be there next year! Plus, Hobson rules...

Just pay shipping!

There is a POI file you can input into your GPS with over 1800 disc golf courses in the US. Not sure how accurate they all are. As I found out the fountain hills course isn't located correctly. But other than that I've found no problems with it. You have to register to download it. And I believe it depends on what GPS you have, how it is installed.

This will be my first BG tourney. From what I hear it will be very woth my while. Look forward to playing locals as well as other outsiders. The cool part about disc golf is I never feel like an outsider when playing in tournaments...that common thread ya know.

Have discs will travel! TEXAS is headed your way and hopefully bringing good weather and this can of Whoop A** I found in the barn. Did I metion this can of Whoop A**?

HMMMMMMMMMMM...DG and BEERRRRRR. Here come the okies! After the muddy marsh that we played in this weekend at Lake Bella Vista in Arkansas, if the parks are half as awesome in BG, we can handle it....

Seriously last year everyone was crying about rain and wind but we all had a great time. Poke 2 holes in a garbage bag,extra if you want to stick your arms out of it, and suck it up and have fun. :cool:

Just make sure the bag is turned upside down or you might drown. :p

I prefer this one.

the course will be fine, wear won't be an issue.... the park is across the street from one of the nicest ball golf courses in the state, check it out...

http://www.golfcoursehome.net/doc/communities/Community-Clubatoldestoneky.htm

and hobson does rule......the last 3 months, and over 500 hours we have spent on phil moore, it has only flooded recently after over 3-4 inches of rain.....the park manager said he hasn't seen it up that high in 3 years......don't worry, I'm sure Hobson will return like an old friend next year (hopefully with a minor facelift:)

try this link, this ball course is right across the street from phil moore disc course.......maybe we can play here one year??

LOL :D

Hey, I've played disc golf on a course set up on a ball golf course! It was GREAT! We had carts and that was the best. It was expensive, but probably worth it. I shot lousy but had the time of my life! rWc3523
I hope we can practice Phil Moore Friday with all the doubles, etc. going on.

In Michigan, we have a new course being installed this week on a ball course. They have had tournaments with portable baskets.

It is 13,000'+ and Par 72.

It is only $15 with cart for a round.

Where is that course in Michigan?

We have an old ball golf course here in town and we're trying to work with the city on locating a course there. We'd only need a small portion of it. The city mows it every week during the spring and summer and there would be minimal clearing, if any at all. There are mounds, ponds, large fairways, some groves of trees. It's by a river and can flood under extreme circumstances, but it's not being used. We're trying to get the city to buy baskets and let us install it. If worse comes to worse, we'll attempt some fundraisers and offer to raise half, which might work. Anybody interested in fundraiser discs? ;)

rWc3523

^willowbrook in byron...

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.

Don't forget your $2 bills....and beer!

I dont know who to trust. One of the local weathermen said it would be raining hard with thunderstorms this weekend, while the weather channel says its going to be sunny and warm. I'm so confused!

Doesn't matter about the weather, the TD says we will play Phil Moore, unless told otherwise during the mandatory players meeting on Firday. I can only remember 1 or 2 of these BG ams in the past 7-8 years that the weather has actually been nice.....looks like another blowing green open to me........bring it on!

The TD also said that anybody that does not check in during the mandatory Friday night meeting, needs to send him an email, fivesmalls@insightbb.com, letting him know, and check in with the course official 30 minutes before the start of the first round, or that spot will be given to the first person on a long waiting list.

I'm not referring to playing Phil Moore. I'm simply referring to the weather. I would hate to have to play in crappy conditions because it'll mess up everyones game and the fun factor will go down.

the 502 (Louisville KY) will be representing for realzz this weekend. I can't wait for this tourney! Biggest in the World!!!

crappy conditions = higher scores = more drinking = more stories (usually lies), I can't see how the fun factor could collapse...we are going to be playing in the biggest tourny in the world. I feel bad for you locals and what a thousand people will do to your courses

Dude, all that means is we need to wear a water proof Thong, whadda ya say dude. Have we answered the Collar thing yet.

Brought to you by our sponsor - BEER


See you there, everybody be safe driving, you never know when a Stingray will jump up and smack you in the head. :cool:

Good news for the BEER fans :

Wah Bah, one of the sponsors is running a beer special for disc golfers! It is between Lovers Lane Park and Miller Park on Hwy 880 atUS 68.

Putting and NCAA party Thursday night!

4 hole 2-par course set up all the time, and playable under the lights. Hole one by outside bar.

Great place to work on your short game while enjoing a cold one, or just setting out on the patio enjoying a cold one and watching those who just can not throw enough.

I guess that's where we'll go Friday night. Anything going on Friday? I mean, other than beer and par 2 golf? rWc3523

ok then.act like little children in a candy store,keep everybody in your hotel up all night,show the puplic just how discgolfer act when they are out of town

I hear you; I learned the hard way at Dogwood Crosstown recently that you shouldn't stay up Saturday night drinking barleywine and moonshine with a guy twice your size if you want to play well the next morning. Day two of Dogwood was the most painful morning of disc golf I've ever played. Can't wait for BG this weekend.

Just praying the rain holds off and we get sunny skies for the tourney. I hate playing in the rain.

Great place to work on your short game while enjoing a cold one, or just setting out on the patio enjoying a cold one and watching those who just can not throw enough.




I hope it is good beer on special, cause I heard domestics do nothing to improve your game...unless they are micro brews. I also heard bud light makes you start to wear pink shirts suck at disc golf.

Good news for the BEER fans :

Wah Bah, one of the sponsors is running a beer special for disc golfers! It is between Lovers Lane Park and Miller Park on Hwy 880 atUS 68.

The Dude will abide by the water proof thong. When I make my entrance into the registration area I want the Thong Song to be playing with smoke and strobe lights for ambiance.



Can you let me know what time you are coming so i can make sure I get there some other time.

Although this is good news for anybody on the waiting list and people owning stock in local medical facilities. I have a strange feeling this could lead to mass vomiting and a few mental breaks.

Any chance there has been people that have cancelled out which means there is a vacancy for an advanced master?

All the time spent online JD could have been out riding a lawnmower. Grass is pretty high out there, a bit disappointing.

Jebb, I HOPE you're kidding!?!? I would hope the largest Am field in disc golf would warrant a mowed course.

Seriously though, can we know if we're going to play phil moore or not? Seriously.

Last I heard, FillMore is on. Unless they change their minds at the last minute. I guess I'll try and play it Friday, doubles or no doubles.

Hmmmm, I heard from a rumor that Innova is providing a new Excalibur in the Am (and pro) BG player's packs. I know the word from the BG ams folks is a Pro Destroyer Innova disc, but I'd like to try this one out. Guess we'll find out in ... less than 48 hours!

rWc3523

Hey all - just an FYI, the BGDG Club website still has the Sun King doubles as seperate tee times...it's actually a FLEX start both Thursday at Keriakes and at Lovers Lane and Keriakes on Friday. If you have any questions, I can be reached via the store phone...352.397.3257

Word on the street is that we may have some of the Star XCalibers (Star Stamp) available as well, stay tuned...

You will want and NEED the velcro grass at White. I remember last year that saved quite a few people some strokes!!! :eek:

What was mentioned previously disc wise is what you will be receiving, along with a few extra goodies. As for the XCalibur rumor, I've heard but cant confirm and even if I did know I'd be sworn to secrecy upon pain of death, and my pink, leather thong wedgied so far up my rectum I'd be bowlegged up to my neck.

If you hear something that sounds like Godzilla or King Kong...don't worry, it's just texas heading your way. Land in Nashville 11am tomorrow!!! Look forward to showing you how the west was won. This is going to be freaking awsome.

I've been ready to share a card, a laugh, and a beer with many other hard core DGrsz for a month now. TEXAS loves Disc Golf, I hope I'm hearing you guys correctly...you can't get enough either.

I dont mind the BG Ams going to a Texan. God's fav. patriots! Just gotta keep the trophy out of the Yankee's hands.

Dude son, my source is very credible. A former world champ! A Team Innova member! And he's from the south! That's all I'll say! I just hope he's right! ;)

If the cards go out like the pools are set right now, I'll play my first round with four golfers I've never met before! How cool is that?

rWc3523

and when your done they'd wish they never met you before,lol
hey russ,don't foget to bring me me disc from the spring fling
remember i ask pretty please for you to save me one,i'll find you at the players meeting on friday night

Kid, it is in the car waiting for you! I wish we had more left over to share! I'll see ya in a couple days! rWc3523

I'm coming down I-65 from Chicago, does anyone know of any good courses within a quick exit from the freeway along that route?

phil moore looks great, we had a boy scout troop help us plant over 50 trees today, the parks guys mowed nice circles around some baskets, we added a few more benches and the main sign. I asked a few out of towners how the course was after their round, and they said it was the new best course in town.......just hope for light rain, and we'll be cool, if not, just go with the flow please.... you boys better bring your A game, cuz I predict 5 Adv Am BG boys finishing in the top 15...........

And I guess you boys know which state dominates the bball....2 kentucky teams in the sweet 16, this town will be going crazy thursday night, and if WKU wins..........it's party time!! I'm going to stop working, and start enjoying, see you boys soon.......

"the course directions from host hotel to courses" on BGDGC
which host hotel, microtel or best western?

Dont go to far on a limb with that prediction...hmmm locals placing in the top 15...ya pretty good guess ...ur a genius...Go N.C. golfers..oh ya dosen't N.C. have 2 teams in the Sweet 16...Go Heels!!

:D :eek: :cool:i be leaving soon also just waiting to also see the Badger sending that Davidson home just like my boys from Marqette sent someone else packing if the Badgers win they get the team that i picked to win it all Kansas but i just cant wait to hit the courses there . have not played there since 1995 my ride will be here in a couple of hours then its the open fairways all the way 2 blowing green leaving the snow behind again see you all there at the players meeting

Hey amusing, I really would not underestimate Davidson. It is a Carolina team, and yes, that should be feared!!

Mini Thumber, Cool Vanilla Hemi Time 16hrs :D

How many of you all have ever mowed a disc golf course for free with your own mower and gas? Most of us pick up trash, remove broken limbs, and general upkeep. However I have only met 1 person that has mowed any part of any course in the above fashion. The parks department here is not mowing anything yet because the grass has just started to grow in spots and not at all in others. We had a low of 25 and high of 44 with snow earlier this week.

The Innovan is on the way to Bowling Green.

sorry but not under estimating The Davidson guys one bit i just got a feeling Curry will not get over 20 points Micheal Flowers should be the defensive player of the Year 3 conference losses in what the last 6 years Bo Ryan could be the coach of the year also either way it will be a good game

I'm coming down I-65 from Chicago, does anyone know of any good courses within a quick exit from the freeway along that route?



Elizabethtown just inside KY. Well worth it.

I actually have mowed parts of our courses before tournaments i have held. With my own little push mower and my own gas. It was just around the baskets but i still did it. Not much fun but i did get a few free beers and many thanks from rec players playing through. Due to budget restraints our city sometimes is a little slow on mowing

anybody know what tees will be used at Franklin. I could not find this information.

Leaving in 9 hours. work sucks

: ) :

Leavin in 1 hour, BG here come the OKIES.

Leaving 7:30 a.m. CDT from northwest Alabammy! So glad BG is only 3/12 hours away! Duff, how long of a drive do you have? Be careful! rWc3523

And virtual. I agree! ;)

About mowing, I've used my own weed eater on our course many times. The last time my buddy mowed he bent his blade. I keep my mower at home! ;) But I've done my share of course work in 24 years. rWc3523

The Discraft RV is in route and at Mile marker 90 on I-75. oh wait, maybe mile mark 89 now that I'm hitting "post"

maybe a better question how many people have mowed the grass the same week it snowed?

10 hr RIDE, I'm in the back seat on this trip. Everyone drive safely, b careful and we'll C ya at dubs 2maro.

bringin Tulsa bag tags Duff--#14, Gieger--#16

Duff &amp; Gieger! Now that's trouble! We are less than 30 minutes out of BG right now. The checkered flag is now visible on the GPS.....10 hours later!

I didn't know that there was a "Rush Hour" in Cincinnati!!!!
What the heck is with all this traffic!!!

Points- For those of you that are flying, call your airline now. Several hundred flight's cancelled over the next 2 days. Confirm flight.

Other Point- Mowing, yes, but not during a time period that produced rain like they have had at BG.

Another Point- Out of the field of sweet 16, 1/4 come from Carolina and Kentucky. This may hold true through Sunday.

Mini Thumber, Cool Vanilla Hemi Time, 8hrs :cool:

Cinci rush hours suck... there are a lot of people crossing th borders to go home in northern KY... Thats why we are leaving at 5:30AM EST to beat the morning rush.

EDT 12 hours and counting!

A couple of sleepers from D-Pool leaving Mob-town right now. See y'all in eight hours.

Has a final decision been made on the courses that will be used, or we still waiting for word on the new course?

Mini Thumber

Guess it all comes down to how much rain ends up falling Thur night and Friday. I'm indeed prepared to 'man up' as someone put it as disc golf is all about adversity! (although mowed fairways would be nice lol)... and for the record I've used my blade trimmer on many a fairway which would destroy a lawnmower, but thats just how we roll in Bama :)

Unless Friday's rain completely pisses on Phil Moore, you're more than likely going to be playing it.

I'll be videotaping each day (look for the kid with the camera), so I may put up videos each night from the days activity if i have time Don't expect anything big saturday (unless rec pool G is considered awesome)
T - 7 hours til departure, sleep time!

I'll be taking pictures for my photography assignment/homework so once I have those developed I'll probably post em on here.

O_O people still use film cameras?!

Photojournalism classes you do here at WKU. This is the last semester though. In the fall everything is switching to digital.

Be sure to look for those Michigan boys cause we are gonna tear it up leaving the house any minute gonna try to play franklin longs and phil moore tommorow pending weather gonna also try to make it to the test drive again so i can bomb that force i still havent tried it yet.

Ok Boy's and Girls, It's Hemi Time.

Mini Thumber, Westbound and Down :cool:;)

I used to know how to develop and print B&amp;W film, back in the day! I love my digital SLR and I'll be shooting here and there. rWc3523

Oh, we're leaving northwest Alabama in about 30 minutes, probably driving in to wet future! Hope everyone has a safe trip! rWc3523
