Mini Thumber

TMI See you there ....UniTTy

the flyer was posted a bit prematurely and that was my fault. A few more things need to be worked on before it is public.

As soon as it is straight, I will repost it.

Sorry for any confusion.

Paypal????

Fee's and mailing address are the same??

no.

the Flyer should be posted later today. I have to get the paypal page up and all info posted online and post the flyer with the corrections.

kewl thanks Mik Ro

B horn....does this mean LArry and Walter are playin?

doubt iTT, but then again Walt will practice for 3 days b4 and finish top 3, Larry will play 12 holes take a par and quit the event.

Walt is hurt (knee)

Last time I talked to him he said he didn't know if he was playing.

Would love to play in this tnmt, but as a begginer, 882 rated, guess Ill wait till I grow up and get more qualified.

Mini Thumber

i'd be surprised if larry made it to the 12th hole

you throwing your left handed plastic at this tournament mikey?

i need to try to make it to this one, if nothing else i need the practice, but i might go to warmer weather that same weekend
and discraft will be coming with me where ever i end up that weekend

Micheal Jo... are you throwin for Disc Craft now?

Yes he is. iTT is official.

Cough....Florida.......Cough

Not on the WaiTT lisTT !!!!!!!!!!!!

Not on the WaiTT lisTT !!!!!!!!!!!!



neither am I!

Neither am I! :)

Are you playin P-ham.

no he thinks it is impossible for a lefty to shoot well there even though he shot a 54 as an am.

I agree with him...sweet setting, just unfair to the south paws...

3rd

I def. feel that the lefties have a disadvantage out there....I just don't like hearing from Matt when he has shot a 54 as an amatuer on that course.

That was before he knew what he was doing. Plus it must've been calm

I do remember that round being calm actually.

4th.............., i actually played last years final round half lefty backhand and half righty backhand (including putting). Righty-HAL won by 3 strokes.

And neither am I,

I wish there was a way to reverse the course so I can stop hearing all the complaining about lefty and righty friendly. The only semi difficult holes would be the 2 water holes. and all oyu have to do is play them for 3's they are not gimme 2's for righties to any extent.

Lefties just need to learn to throw a freakin sidearm and everything evens out.

Former NCSU scholar / afflete Chris Washburn would have done great at Buckhorn because he was "amphibious" :D

Now that I think about it.... the last two water holes are lefty friendly if the usual headwind is present. All of the righties have to worry about turning their discs over and having them end up wet. Lefties can just step up, throw flat, and the wind will roll their discs over onto shore. Seems simple to me :D

PLAY FOR 3 !

5th! Actually 9, 10, and 11 are all extremely difficult for a lefty, even the short tees. "Just try and take a 3" no chit vern...what do you think we were trying to do? The average RH open player probably is -1 to -2 on those 3 holes both pads combined. The average LH open player is probably E to +2. After 4 rnds thats handing over between 4 to 16 strokes. And Robert just because someone has played a good rnd somewhere does not justify competing in a tournament, just as if one were to have a bad rnd does not justify giving up the game. There is some sensible middle ground in there. And yes Schweb the course should have a reverse layout...ever look back down 18, now thats a sweet hole.

The QC player turnout may have just been eliminated for this event, as our clubs vTTi tryouts will be that Saturday.

that sucks

Actually, I think our whole qualifying criteria sucks.

haha what is it?

stroke play @ ho's nest

Our tryouts give everyone who wants a shot at playing a chance. I think its a great idea for our first year.

stroke play @ ho's nest



what sucks about that?

the best format on the best course?

Unless it is only one round or something then I could see your gripes.

stroke play on a course that some may have dialed in and others maybe not = match play on a course that nobody has ever seen? discuss ;)

Its one round (but you can try as many times as you want to shoot a good round ... ala usdgc mon. qual.)

seriously though... i actually dont think we should be hijacking your thread to talk about this... sorry

ok well I agree with Polish, that really isn't a very good way.

And man I really wish you guys could pick another date. We love when you Charlotte guys come to Raleigh

might be a moot point.... anyway... back to Buckhorn!!

Depending on how things go and what work looks like I'm hoping to make it... just a lot of events going on around that time... Decisions... Decisions

Does this thing usually fill and how far before hand?

Hey MJ,

Is it safe to assume:

Comet, Comet, Comet???

And man I really wish you guys could pick another date. We love when you Charlotte guys come to Raleigh

[/QUOTE]

I'll be there. Wouldn't miss a chance to play this great course again.

Two Time Ring Of Fire Champ is in! will it be three in a row?

Does this thing usually fill and how far before hand?



YES

it fills pretty fast.

RD


most of them do... unfortunately its a righty sidearm

Now that I think about it.... the last two water holes are lefty friendly if the usual headwind is present. All of the righties have to worry about turning their discs over and having them end up wet. Lefties can just step up, throw flat, and the wind will roll their discs over onto shore. Seems simple to me :D


10 the "roll" will take them well left and short of the basket where they will then be approaching through trees in head/crosswind to a VERY fast green that slopes severely to water (righties throw a stable hyzer), 11 the "roll" can take them OB short before the peninsula juts out near the basket or in bounds well short. check out the throw from the drop zone or 100-150ft short of the basket on 11 for a lefty in a headwind. fun times (righties throw a stable hyzer harder). 9 is at least better than it used to be, but lefties cant go for it off the tee.

i played with larry w. a bunch in the last group at the first buckhorn windfest- i told him if i were left-handed i would never pay to compete there.

And I continue to play you for money out there. WTF am I thinkn. Thanks for using me as an example

Quit b****in & get a darn sidearm! I've seen ole Fluke park all three of those holes with a lefty Firebird sidearm!

I think I will just learn to avoid lop-sided courses. I'm still gonna voice my awareness however.

One thing that may help lefties this year is the drought in this area. The last time I played there was about 100 feet of land to the right of hole 11's basket. This should give a much larger landing area for all.

Another note we currently have about 20 entries. I will be posting the list later this week. With school starting back I have been a little busy since I work in education.

check is in the mail

good point Mike.

I played out there a few weeks ago and yanked my tee shot right of 11's basket and had a jump putt.

That is how much land is over there right now.

Also on 10 the water is just barely reaching the tall weeds in what was the water - this is hands down the easiest this course has ever and probably will ever play.

Its going to rain. All the lake needs is a night of rain.

so pessimistic there K-zak

first of all, a nights rain isn't gonna help, second, "A course is a course of course" it doesn't matter if your lefty or righty its still golf everywhere you go! you shouldn't duck courses because they are lefty or righty friendly. every course has its variety of shot selections and ways of attacking the holes. 3rd for Clizzark, the answer is a resounding NO! because unlike the last 2 years I will be in the ring of fire..lol. all this crying about "boo hoo hoo, I am lefty so I can not play at this course or that course." WHATEVER!!! as Hoffy said you should aquire the proper shot selections for these kind of moments.. like learning how to throw side arm with the same arm you drive with for one thing.. also you may wanna explore your options, and develope. not give up because you are unwilling to learn.
if I would have refused to learn all the shots I have in my bag
I wouldn't be playing anywhere but Kentwood.. its part of the game guys and girls!!! you have to grow in your game or you will never meet your victorious expectations.. that sux people would actually make excuses not to play such a beautiful course and even attempt to make the course out as the reason.. shut up and learn to throw!!!..lol. See ya in the trenches!

Cleetus.

Chris: When the rain falls around Harris lake the Park opens flood gates from small creeks and other small ponds in the park. The lake cools the tower. One night of rain( about 8 hours) will bring the lake level way up. Not full but close.

Prozak

Yea, but how do you really feel, Chris? (the arm I mean) Must be doing better I sense.

Dave

well Kozak, we will see about the rain, it doesn't bother me if it rains on us the whole time, or Ice's..lol. but thanks for the info, I didn't know that.

Doc Wiggins.. I love you man!!!! yes the arm seems to be fully operational. I have been playin quite a bit, and felt nothing wrong.
I waited longer this time and done the rehab we spoke about
to strengthen the muscels and tendons around the area.
you have been a savior for me, and I owe you big!!! I am very excited about Buckhorn, the course is looking and playin awsome. I hope my last post was not to harsh on anyone in particular, but it bothers me to hear people knock the course for competition purposes. its the best course we got right now.

and what the hell is going on with Marsh Creek? why isn't anyone doin anything out there, I keep hearing they are working on it, but it never seems to get done. its been 10 years in the making. I have seen course's built in a matter of days, so WTF? Raschal or whoever is pushing this course has to push harder! because until then, Buckhorn is our trophy course. so...whats the hold up? who do I have to call?

Doc where are you guys stayin for BH open?

Cleetus.

This will be my first experience at the Buckhorn. Not sure if I want to wear a swimsuit, or not. Cant wait though

Can't wait to play with you again! I don't know if you can hold a groove with my wizzadz, will see about dat!

As far as pushing mash creek, Before i left was a on the phone a lot with the parks and rec guys a lot about the course. Its all on there end, it has nothing to do with us. They are liars and will say anything to snuff out the idea of a new course. Somebody needs to call WRAL and break this story wide open! I can say that all of the people involved with pushing the course are tired of getting [censored] on by parks and rec.

Chris, your power animals are RabbiTTs for your scroggin and jumpin to conclusions, Skunks for quickly being defensive, and a touch of Donkey in there for hearing excellent, but not listening hardly at all...Glad to hear that Monkey arm is swingin freely again.
Your Stubborn Friend

well my stubborn friend, I have a few animals for you too.. first the Bull which you sleep in, and it represents your stubborness..lol. and the Shrew for your timid approach to your disc golf game. and maybe a bit of donkey yourself..for not understanding what I said. I read perfectly fine, and I understand completely what was said, you don't want to expand and move foward, but rather backwards and sideways like a snake in his hole..lol. and the funny thing is your lil hole is on "Kent Rock" and your still afraid to step up, you would rather step down. I kind of understand your veiw, but I just don't agree with it. and if you don't win advanced or play well, how will that effect your USDGC mental game? will it be worse, will you be crushed inside? maybe not outside, but in.

I love palyin with you Cart, I hate to lose you to your own mind. you are a pro, and make to much of the mental side of things. you got game, and no matter what division you play in, there you are!

we will miss you, I just hope you don't fade away like all the others that fell backwards only to find there weakness was between there ears the whole time and just give up.
you are a delight to play with, I hope you can eventually see past your own face Taurus.."the BULL"..lol.

luv ya man!

Cleetus.

Thank you for the reply, most of it is true and insightfull. The only reason I am stepping down is to have more FUN in the game. When I can maintain a high level of enjoyment I will come back to the Serious division.

...and to take down your 24 adv. win record.

I dont take it that serious do I......?

I dont take it that serious do I......?



*honest opinion warning*

I think you take it more serious than ppl think

whatever Cart lol. Good luck. I'll still be your friend, just like I am with Brandon Bailey.."The Lifer". I love him, he's from my old school. just never wants to move up. My fortune in advanced was a learning stage, I had one guy to beat basically for the first year and a half I played, then he moved away, and I played an extra year because of waiting for my shot at the worlds without a crick in my neck... the PDGA
would not allow me to play as an Advanced player in the pro division, for minimal compensation for my efforts to avoid slaying advanced players. I knew I wanted to move up but it became a game. so I reacted accordingly.. and made the transition just as I said I would, I never claimed I wasn't turning pro.

and also .. once I took my pro card, I never looked back. it was never even an option in my mind. one thing mattered.."GETTING BETTER" with better players.

one more note.. I think your last post brings up a good point...
the secret to good golf is being comfortable and not being to serious. you play your best when you are not really thinking at all, and just let your body react, according to numberous golf books. thats why they say practice as you play, and play as you practice. all that time spent is for the 2 seconds you forget everything and just do it. you play better when you are having fun playing..when you go back to advanced, you will still be the same guy Cart, you will be just as serious with the Ams, as you are the Pro's, and its gonna be even harder for you to concentrate..at least the pros give you a chance.

But.. these are things you need to learn for yourself. and I personally can't wait to hear the stories when you come back to us commrad.

this is my last post on the matter.. we can talk at [profanity removed]!!!

Peace.

"I am serious, and don't ever call me Shirley again"

i'll put my money on vegan ray in a hot pepper eating contest with anyone. rusty von thought he could step up, but all he did was step out (to vacate).

bhut jolokia pepper- 1 million scovilles right off the vine.

This just in from the AP wire:

Eastern NC disc golfer Scott Faison has just announced that he will not be playing in this years Buckhorn Open. When asked about the decision to withdraw from this event, he said "it was a tough one but some other issues come first." Further questions revealed that there was a potential schedule conflict that would interfere with him being able to attend. "One of my primary sponsors was not able to get me out of some prior engagements that are very important to our team. To me, in the big picture, the Faison team comes first". Scott also commented on how much he was looking forward to playing this course and trying to atone himself for last years epic meltdown. "It was really frustrating to be tied for the lead after the first round and then watch myself not only drop from contention, but to eventually drop from cashing. That was one of the hardest lessons I have learned on the course". Even though the season started rough, Scott did manage to end it on some high notes with solid performances at the Fall Disc Golf Classic and One Moe. "I was hoping to build from some of the success I had at the end of 2007 and take it into 2008. I guess my seasonal debut will have to wait". Faison still plans on being at the Coastal Plains Winter Open two weeks after Buckhorn and is excited about playing after returning from the Daytona 500.
He was also asked if he was going to come up any for the event he mentioned he had planned on playing Friday but that too has changed. "Originally I was going to practice Friday then play the event. Even after I saw that I was not going to be able to play, I had thought about just playing some on Friday since I will be in Raleigh anyway for an appearance at a tire store (Ronnie White's Tire and Towing). All that has changed now since a very dear and personal friend of mine is going through a hard time. His child who is less than a year old was just diagnosed with a brain tumor. I have decided that I would rather spend that time with him in his time of need than focus on my personal endeavors. There are more important things than throwing plastic at trees" Scott closed by wishing all the best of luck to all the competitors. "This is a great event on a great course. Scott Anderson and RADL run a terrific show at the Horn. I hope I will get the chance to play in this tournament again in the future"
Scott said that any questions asked will be answered and if the need arises, a section in the players area of the discussion board can be created to handle those inquiries.

AP Wire 2/5/2008

Good Luck Scottie, you'll be missed. Have fun in Daytona, see ya at Richlands

The long range forcast says high on Sat. 60 deg. (shorts and a tank) and sunday high if 48. (Zippered fleece and hand warmers ( no ice??? )

I also must announce that I will be unable to MC the Ring of Fire this year. (Sometimes I have to work to buy more stuff for the Crosstown.)

Good luck to all.

You can never have it all at Buckhorn. looks like the premilinary forecast is calling for winds sustained at 17mph w/ gust reaching as high as 30mph. hey at least it won't be sleating :D

One of my classic Buckhorn Stories was 2 years ago hole 10 long. strong head wind. Messiah's on the box throws a strong hyzer right at the basket. the wind gusts catching the disc turning it over then the nose comes up and the disc actually is now travleing backwards. it almost blows it back to the bank of hole 9 but alas it did not make it to dry land. Splash. Messiah looks back at the group and says man that was a tsunami (i guess that is a stable disc by the confused look on his face) :D

I remember Carter parking hole 10 long in a raging head wind. One of the best shots I've ever seen considering he is lefty.

Whats the ring of fire?

30-60 players all putting at a basket at the same time. Make your putt, stay in for next round.
Fun

Mini THumber

Whats the ring of fire?



A putting game designed to keep players out of the tournament directors hair while scares and awards are figured

A Basket is placed in an open area with plenty of putting room. A few rings are painted on the ground around the basket. Every one sets up on the specified ring. The MC says 3...2...1 go. everyone puts! If yours stays in you move back to the next ring. This goes on until 1 person is left. The last person wins the prize for that round. In the past there are 10 or more rounds with various prizes. The final round is a basket.

My personal strategy has been get some one else to pay for your entry. Make the deal that you will give them every prize that you win.
Accept if you win the basket. So far I am the two time champ - looking for this years sponsor ;)

Its fun, you should get in this year.

i donated last year, you're helping yourself sunday lol

i donated last year, you're helping yourself sunday lol



If I don't get the donation it just wont be the same.

Jay, i got you this year, same deal, i get all the prizes except the basket. Make sure you remind me

Jay, i got you this year, same deal, i get all the prizes except the basket. Make sure you remind me



Ooooooo its on Now!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Juan

Carolina remains 2nd in the conference behind 8-0 Duke. with Maryland just 1 game back at 5-3. Uh Oh. Duke beat UNC so bad even Roy passed out.

Thanks Tyson. I have heard rumors about this course didn't know if it was real or not.

I've been out there earlier than 8. They usually open the gates when the sun comes up.

With maybe one exception I have been there every year when they open the gate. It is usually around 7:30 AM.

goodluck all... have fun... keep the plastic dry and watch out for WISCO! :)

Per Mike Norris...

The gates will open by 7:30

Also, he will NOT be on the discussion board today and if you are planning on withdrawing or anything like that, please email him

ncdiscgolf@webassign.net

Also, Chad Goodwin you are in!! Please contact Mike via this email or PM me for his number to confirm.

For all of you with a fever....


There's only one cure....

scores are up

thanks mike!

With the DOT crew on point, you knew the scores were to be soon. Good job Mike, and Stick. Bueatiful day. Competition in all levels is fierce, with a 12 year old, spanking the adults. Great tnmt Scott, kudos to the park crew, course looks great.

Mini Thumber, a pretty good rec player, graduate of Novice U ;)

Bueatiful day.



Rocky, Is that a quote from MTL?

Chang of plane. I will be hepling their tommorrow.

(The Spirit of Robert made me do it.)

Craig

Yes brother, I learned is somewhere. Was a great day, weather, course was in great shape, relaxing. Holes don't interlock, sometimes you feel as if your group is alone. Tomorrow, I hear alot of wind and a bit cooler.

Mini Thumber, a pretty good rec player, graduate of Novice Univ :p

Let's do it some more. Bring the anti wind plastic. Somebody yell 2 minutees.

Mini Thumber, not a bad Recreation Player :cool:

Thanks to Kozack for the (again) wonderful hospitality. OK Rocky......it's on.... :-)

Li'l Wig tearing it up! Who's the lowest scoring lefty out there?

My buddy Jason Hill shot a 58 from the blues as a lefty. That is pretty good, said he went OB 2 times in that round as well.

Jason and Lil Wiggy are both products or Johnson Street, do it to it fellas!!!

I just got word that Schweb took Open.

I just got word that Schweb took Open.



i coulda told ya that on Friday! ;)

Nice win Schweb!!!

He is tough to beat fo' sho'!

Yeah I held on to second only 11 behind Schweb - and I use the term only very loosely.

People were comparing the winds today to the CPWO a few years back. By far the worst wind I've ever played in.

Thanks to RADL staff (Scott, Mike, Stick, countless others) for another great buckhorn open!

thanks Radl staff for such a well run tournament! Nice thumber on 17 Schwebb ;)

you too :D

I was wondering about the wind up there. It sho' was windy down here. Hopefully it will be windy down here 2 weeks from now as well. ;) Congrats to all of the winners, the TD, and volunteers of the Buckhorn Open.

http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournamen...eRatings=1#Open (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=7525&amp;year=2007&amp;incl udeRatings=1#Open)

scores - thanks mike!! u da man

I saw thing I never want to see again. Like 7 professional disc golfers lag put from 30 feet.
The wind was brutal at times. If there was the slightest lull, players would line up on the 11 th tee to throw their drives as fast as possible.
Incredible.

Craig

Huge props and thank you's go out to all those that had anything to do with this event. Scott, Mike, Stick, Kozak, Kevin and the rest of the RADL folks and volunteers. The course was in incredible shape. Even the small things like the cleared pathways between the holes was a welcome suprise.
And although the wind made for an interesting day, overall it was by far one of the best events I've attended in quite a while. 4 groups of great guys helped the fact that I didn't play well. After this weekend I am trully sorry that I've missed this event all these years. A very challenging course that makes you play smart golf. It will now become a must every year.
Huge thanks also go out to my good friends Kirk and Jennifer for once again providing a welcome home to stay at. Overall the folks in Raleigh get 5 stars for a memorable weekend.

I'd like to send a special thanks to Jeremy Bond. I got a close look at the trophy when I got home - it is really beautiful and to me at least, worth more than the expense of the tourney all by itslelf and that by far.

. Like 7 professional disc golfers lag put from 30 feet.




pssh layup.

just take your firebird and watch the wind pick it up and blow it in the basket. its not that hard :D

What he said!

I just got word that Schweb took Open.



i coulda told ya that on Friday! ;)

Nice win Schweb!!!

Thanks Stack

The wind was definitely crazy today and I saw things happen to discs in flight around the water that I've NEVER seen happen before.

I definitely think the course played harder today because of the wind and did some number crunching to see how the days compared....

Robbie

big props to Henry Childres for shooting the low round from the longs this weekend.

Way more impressive, he did it on Sunday! awesome!

Great job Scott, Mike and Stick, and Park crew. This was a awsome tnmt. Congrats to Bigg Wigg on his Victory. Had a great time with a great group. Was proud of my only backhand on hole 11 from the longs, that almost parked it at hole 8 somewhat OB. LOL

Mini Thumber, tired

Excellent competition Rocky - definitely could have gone either way. Thanks again to all the usual suspects.

Check it www.zonedriven.com/schweb/ (http://www.zonedriven.com/schweb/)

nice write up schweb, but did you really have to let everyone know the firebird was blue? I mean, come on, I got sponsors that don't need to read that kinda info :D

Probation will be waived this time due to extenuating cirumstances.

*phew* I appreciate it BWD.

That was a close call.

great play by play!!! almost like watching it.

thanks, I was going to write more but hopefully the Video Fred Moran took during hole 17 will give a perfect description of what else I was going to write about.

haha yeah that was SICK!

Congrats on the W, Schweb! ;) Nice shootin' in nasty conditions.

Sounds like Mcracken and I's drive on hole 11 were about the same. I think my shot from 11s box was closer to hole 8, than my drive on hole 8s box. 168gm T-bird, searching for bass instead of birdies. It was a confused disc, or maybe just the thrower throwing unthumber. LOL

Mini Thumber, a pretty good rec player :p

The video is in the works...

sweet you should put it on Break.com and see if you can make some money off of it.

OK. enough suspense. What happened on 17?

Mini THumber

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d44zea8bNi8

nice shot and video

very cool footage - I still can't believe that my shot was OB and I can't believe that a skip thumber of the water was closer than mine :D

how was your shot OB on that MTL? ... looks like you put it close... and a skip thumber off the water... AWESOME! I will def. be trying that one out soon!

it was OB by about 3 feet.

The wind slammed it (as you can see in the video) pretty quick.

I was in shock. When I released it I thought it was perfect and it look perfect for about 95% of the flight.

very cool footage - I still can't believe that my shot was OB and I can't believe that a skip thumber of the water was closer than mine :D

believe iTT you mullet

hey I ain't mad at ya, you called it - no luck at involved when you call it. Very very cool to see.

My thumber went in and didn't make the video :confused:

So I should have walked with the lead card second round....I did get a round in at the Tarheel course though. Congrats to all the winners and though I wish I was able to play the tournament, I did manage to get home without spending $1000 on getting home with gas in a disel truck.

Where did the video go?

Video removed...DAm....I hate it the way work always interferes with my activities :-) I hope someone posts a new link so I can personally see this Babe Ruth-esque calling the homerun/skip thumber off the water.

Well that is certainly something to be proud of. I wonder if there is anyone else in the world who could do that? My guess is no.

I don't think actually skipping the disc off the water was the crazy part. It would be just like throwing any type of skip thumber shot.

What made it nuts was he parked it.

That is what was so impressive to me.

Schweb... i have to ask more about this shot... was this on the 17th hole in the final round? if so was it a scenario of knowing you have enough strokes to have fun or is it a high enough percentage of a shot where you didnt have to worry either way?
Just curious and think its great you are still having fun out there either way!!

repost the vid....its been removed by owner.

Congrats Sccchhhwww333bbssTTer!

I wonder if there is anyone else in the world who could do that? My guess is no.


Many of us saw Stokely call the skip off the water and park it on hole 17 (~240) in the Finals of Cincy Worlds in 1998.

even lowly me has done it at loriella. the thumber and the tomahawk both skip off the water well when thrown at the right angle. the difference between schweb, stokely and i (well, one difference) is that they could most likely replicate their shots.

And with more money on the line... :D

good points... its those pesky rollers that are hard to get across

Not when it is frozen :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6q4QAWSED0c

good call... you got me on that one!

it is pretty wierd looking when the green algea (msp) freezes. i remember last year i went for it fro the shorts on 17 and threw a bad shot. ti hyzered a little early and i started waiving good bye to it but when it hit the water it was ice got a nice skip right over to the bank. i was pleasently surprised.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6q4QAWSED0c



are you going to upload anymore footage you shot?

I would love to see our 2nd shots on 16.

Mine, Hofmann, McRee, and Schwebs were all really really good shots.

Will try and get some more footage up....

....Would have been nice to have that recording 8-11, in 40+ winds!!

haha man that was crazy out there.

my putt on 10 would have been AWESOME to have on film.

haha man that was crazy out there.

my putt on 10 would have been AWESOME to have on film.


yo mean your lay up that went in? :D

yeah you can call it that.

I'm glad it wasn't on film actually. I played the whole hole with that blue firebird. HAving me on film holing a shot with a blue disc could look really bad.

I honestly think that is the first time I've ever completeled a hole with only disc that I didn't ace or didn't tap in for 2.

i hear ya. i 3'd 17 from the longs with a
Rhyno lay up
Rhyno accross the water
tap in with the rhyno

whats the deal about not throwing blue MTL? you in the bloods and dont want to be associated with the crips?

whats the deal about not throwing blue MTL? you in the bloods and dont want to be associated with the crips?



it's all about <font color="white"> tripps </font>

My thumber went in and didn't make the video :confused:

it is because you did not call iTT

And with more money on the line... :D



they didn't have $ on the line either- schweb was so far ahead it didn't matter and scott was so far behind kenny it didn't matter. :D

I'm thinking "money" as in the embarrassment factor if they messed up in front of folks, especially Stokely. :o

I guess ya larn sumthin new ever day....
