I can't wait to finally get back to Duncan, this course will test everything you have, especially when the wind comes in off the lake. And as always, the camping and night games are a blast.

The 10K hole in one is a GREAT added treat to this event. :D

Is the little cafe by the lake still doing breakfast?

I am in!!! roadtrippin with Ken R.....

Yes they are doing Breakfast and Lunch on Friday, Saturday and Sunday... Just like always both shower and restroom areas will be open. We have a work day on March 8-9 to get things twisted... Volunteers will get VIP access to the weekend festivities... Be looking for more added value announcements for this event. :cool:

Load the car cut the costs! 3rd Coast is ALWAYS WELCOME in TWISTEDVILLE. I would love to see someone hit that 10 G's...
Come one... Come all... The Twisted Tour is set to begin. :cool:

We might be able to squeeze in 1 or 2 more...Erron may want to come try for $10,000!!

That is my home town, if work allows I will be there. Like I told Joe if I can't be there I will sponsor something.

****THIS JUST IN****

As of right now the Duncan Lake HillClimber is now a Southern Nationals qualifier. This year the Southern Nationals will be held in Ft Smith, Arkansas. If you want some of that action, come get you some Duncan HillClimber action.

Close, but not in Ft. Smith. SN Pro Championships are in Little Rock, AR on Aug. 30 & 31 and the SN Am Championships are in Pensacola, FL on Aug. 16 & 17. Glad to see more SN Qualifiers.

To play in one of the 2008 championships, you have to collect your points before May 31, 2008. So, get to Duncan America and see the lake.

Ooops, Thanks for the correction. I was passing on a message from higher authorities.

**** and all this time I thought you were the higher authority. :D

Just to update this thread (for more entertainment visit the Tulsa threads).

This event is now...
An EDGE charity certified event

A SOUTHERN NATIONALS QUALIFIER

and to top that off...
Sally Majestic has agreed to play the event... Live music!
Check them out on myspace.com

Sally Majestic will be worth the trip alone, these guys rock!
Not to mention what a special place Duncan Lake is.

Special thanks to the Twisted 1 for having the vision for the future of disc golf in Oklahoma teaming up with the new EDGE Tournament Charity Program (http://www.edgediscgolf.org) . :D

Who is taking the challenge of 10% of their $10,000 hole-in-one to EDGE? Don't worry, it will be a deduction against the other taxes you'll have to pay.

So, Jay, are you playing?

It is definitely on our radar :D

I'll do better than that Jay, If I hit it, I'll put 50% of it to the edge program. ;)

You might want to get a lottery ticket instead, though. :DChances are probably better.

So will we get one or two shots at this hole? Do we know which hole it is yet?

Well, you should! It's a great tourney. I played it last year and had a blast. I'll definitely be up there this year, too!

Yo M2daC!!! Everyone gets one shot at it during your round. TwoPutt it is possible to hit... Just ask Neil Dambra who splashed slowly out of the last 20,000 hole in one I put up in Live Oak 2 years ago. Had he had a older disc it would have stuck!!!

And yes Yeti... SALLY ROCKS! :DHope to see you Readingsters at this one... do I see three trips to Oklahoma for you 2 this year? Duncan... GTO... Oklahoma Open! (another EDGE event) :cool:

http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u161/twistedflyer/duncanfinal.jpg

Thanks to Kelly "Keldog" Watson one lucky DLHO tournament player will win a FREE entry in to the OKLAHOMA OPEN in October... as well as another shot at the $10,000.00 dollar HIO via the Oklahoma Open 10,000.00 Hole in One!Thanks! Keldog!

Johnny Z will be out mowing and brush hogging the courses this THURSDAY... SO... This Saturday we will be having a workday / funday at Duncan Lake. We are looking for a few good weed eaters and a crew of loppers. We plan on working and then busting a lap on the new tracks... you know how I do... It will be joyous and festive.

And that's just what we did... HUGE TWISTED LOVE goes to the following unselfish people who realize to play hard you have to work hard.

Jake Christian
Don Cook
Jason Schwake
Jose Mendoza
Brad HOI
Doug Maxfield
Joe ED
Danielle Vargas
and the Twisted1

We had crews on Saturday AND Sunday. The grass was over our heads in some parts and there was some serious trimming to do... But we GOT'R DUN CAN... JohnnyZ will be in the Park Weds or Thurs. finishing off the second course and last minute things we missed. It's gonna be a sweet weekend. ESPECIALLY for those who helped out this weekend. THANKS AGAIN.

I am finally back. I forgot that you couldn't post on here if you weren't current. I was going to try and slide by this year without re-upping but couldn't stand not being able to answer some of the peoples questions about the Hillclimber and to try and help get you all PUMPED UP for it! I needed a little nudging this year to get me feeling like working on the course. It is easy to get burned out when you work your butt off all day several days on a course that is on city property and they don't lift a hand to help. If you ask them for anything you get a slap in the face response. Example: Last year a player got stuck in the mud the day before the Hillclimber. We just happen to have a flash flood come through that day. I called the lake patrol to see if he could maybe get someone to help pull him out. I figured that was the least he could do since they don't do anything else that has to do with the course. He said " No! And I might just have to give him a ticket for getting stuck out on the course" ( like he cares anything about the course ) I told him that the player that got stuck wasn't on the course when he got stuck but ended up out there trying to get out. And then I told him I was going to just quit taking care of the course if I couldn't get anymore help from the city than that! He told me that I should just quit then. I told him that I will but then cooled down for some reason and decided I should at least try and get along with them a little bit so that we could keep the course and the Hillclimber tradition even if they were always goling to be asses. Anyway to make a long story short, I needed some coaxing this year and boy did I get it! The Twisted1, Jose', Jake Christian,Danielle Vargas,Jason Schwake, Doug Maxfield ( who also helps out every chance he gets and has been to every DLHO so far), Brad HOI, Don Cook and Joe Ed did alot of work out on the course last weekend and boy was it nice to get that help. THANK YOU! It was awesome of you guys and gals to travel that far to help out. The TDSA and Jose' also helped out with the funds for the upkeep. I really appreciate it! It is hard to spend that kind of $ when you have a family with two teenagers who always have there hands out wanting more and more of it. :) And the GAS PRICES! ;(
Anyway, I really appreciate all of the help. I brush hogged all day today and finished both courses except for some detail work like new tee flags, new tee signs for alternate course, a few new trash cans, a little more touch-up weedeating around the baskets and tee signs and some lopping work on the alternate. Marty Dayhoff said he will do some of that stuff this weekend. I am looking forward to another great DLHO! Joe Rotan will pick up right where Jose' left off and TWIST it up a little. A live band at the DLHO and a $10,000 hole in one! Woo! Hoo! What more can you ask for? You have got disc golf, camping, food, live music and a chance to win big $. What's not to like.

I took the 26th and 27th off today. I was already off the 28th through the 3rd of April. That gives me three days before the tournament to get the finishing touches done. I hope to see some of you start the weekend really early like wednesday or thursday. Make it a three or four day weekend if you can.

so is anyone camping? i may have to cruise up there by me lonesome if i cant get some of these DFW slackers to roll with me. and i dont wanna camp all by myself. i'd be a skeerd

Hopefully you can get some of your DFW buddies to come with you. If for some reason they can't come you should anyway. Don't be skeerd. :) Just about everybody camps. There will be tents everywhere and a few campers mixed in. Hope to see ya' there!

Britt said he was coming :D:D

Over the weekend Mike & Kim Click donated a FREE TEAM ENTRY IN TO OKIE DOUBLES 2008!!! That's 2 entries for FREE! Thanks from all to the Click's!

So just to recap... there is a
FREE Spot in to Oklahoma Open up for Grabs...
Free spot to OKIE DUBS up for grabs...
Free spot in to the Twisted Flyer Open up for grabs...

and that little ol' Hole in One...

Johnny will have it looking sharp and the Staff and I are ready to make sure you have a very Twisted Weekend.

It has been confirmed as of today that THE BAND WILL PLAY SATURDAY EVENING / NIGHT... Sally Majestic AND friends will be in the house early Saturday to set up and get us rocking. You know how I do... Sally is there because I dig them... and I know you will too.

And just when you thought... Geez... "How much more TwisteD can it get?" I PROUDLY announce the JAY SLACK TACO BAR on Saturday Night as the band rips on... Yep... If you know me you know a Taco is a food group. Jay and Co. will be in the house SATURDAY NIGHT... As with Sally the Taco's are here because I dig them and I know you will too. So no need to pack all that food, support the Taco Bar! Thanks JAY!!!

The latest disc models, The newest gear and the 2008 USDGC Fundraiser hats will make their debut at the DLHO ! Please plan ahead for the "Keldog's EDGE Raffle" that will directly benefit OKLAHOMA SCHOOLS... a dollar or two could set you up very nice!

The disc gods have given US a lake for the weekend and I plan to take full advantage of it!

Pantycake..we are camping, if you want to camp with us you can.

word ;)

Tacos sound good.

I can't wait!

is anything going on friday? what is the schedule on saturday and sunday? two rounds each day? how many holes? one course or two? etc. any info would be appreciated.
thanks

I believe there will be Friday afternoon doubles. The plan right now as far as I know it is two rounds a day alternating between two 18-hole courses on sat and sun. As long as we don't have a flood like last year we will be able to play both courses. Joe will be able to confirm this. Looking forward to this weekend!

"Is the little cafe by the lake still doing breakfast? "

The cafe is not inhabited right now. Kim Bingham and her crew that has been keeping us fed the last few years should have breakfast available as usual.

Will it still be ok to sign up on Saturday morning? We are planning on coming up Friday after work.

You can sign up Friday from 2:30 til 8:00pm on Friday (please ;)) or sign up Saturday morning from 7:45-8:45am.

We will also be there Friday for FLEX START DUBS. Bring your own partner. Tee off 2:30-5:00. $10 per team.

$10 per team

do you mean $10 per man?? $20 a team

Sup See Ol'Chap? $10.00 per team ($5.00 per player) is the recession proof fee to enter. You plan on making it to the gig? I've seen you get SUPER FREAKING CLOSE to a big money hole in one a time or two in my days. Not as close as Neal but close.

I think that 10 per team would mean 5 per person...

Weather Forecast


http://www.weather.com/weather/weekend/USOK0164?from=tenDay_topnav_undeclared

WOW!!! With weather like that we just might see the ol' 10 grand go POP! I look forward to seeing the mix of folks we are going to have at this event. Pre Reg is ROLLING in and will be updated later today... I see Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas and Arkansas in the mix already.

And NO this is just a bonus Ace Run... the event will still have it's regular Ace Pot. So that's roughly 10,360.00 to be made in Ace's and a boat load of goodies from Innova, Discraft, Gateway, Revolution and KICKER to be won on side games.

Keldog will be awarding one random winner a paid entry into the Oklahoma Open in October before the first disc is ever thrown!!!

The staff is ready to GET'R DUNCAN for you!

i tried mapquest and i could not find plato rd 9 or duncan lake, can someone give me precise directions, we are coming up I-35 from Funkytown. thanks

http://www.mapquest.com/maps/%5B1-159%5D+E+Plato+Rd+Duncan+OK+73533/

Scroll right a few miles and you will see the lake.

I was asked to give direction by someone. Here was my reply:

Take Hwy 81 to Duncan. On the North side of town, go East on Plato Road. The intersection of 81/Plato has a stoplight, I think it is the second light coming into town from the North (from OKC). Take Plato Road for 9-miles East until reaching Duncan Lake Road. Go right (South) for about 1/2 mile then turn right again (back West) into the park. Last year there were tournament banners at the park entrance. The campground is about another 1/2 mile down the park road.

Good job with the directions krazyeye and Sports_Fan_Stan. Thanks!

Wish I could be there this year. THIRD COAST!!!!!!! Hit that Ace!!!

I worked out there a little today. There is already a few players camped out! Getting an early start on the fun. Come on out the weather is great. I will be out there all day tomorrow to put the final touches on the course.

Online registration will close tonight at 5:00pm. We are gettin close!!!!

Are no women signing up for this tournament?

And just to make sure. If we show up on Saturday morning will we be able to sign up? I don't want to drive all the way to be turned away.

I know of two who are planning on it...

good, I was thinking about playing rec men

Online reg is closed. Bags are almost packed. Bright and early we are ready to roll! See ya there.

DUBS and tournie sign ups Friday afternoon.

(play pro women :cool:)

Worked out there all day today and boy am I tired. That 89 degree heat and the fact that I am not yet in Duncan Lake shape just about did me in. On a brighter note, I am just about finished with both courses. All I need to do tomorrow is get all of the portable baskets for the east course and paint direction arrows for am pads and wherever needed. Looking forward to this weekend! There are already alot of players camped out. This maybe the most I have ever seen camped out so early. We should have a great turnout!

Thanks JohnnyZ!!! Loading up... see ya in a bit!!!

Let's...

GET'R DUNCAN!!!

7 more hours of work then time to haul bass, my friend is scared of oakies but i told him you guys are cool, so no worries :Dwe'll bring the tx beer ;)

Is it possible to go 35 N to OK-7 to OK-7 West turn right at N2940, left at Old OK-7 and right at Duncan Lake rd.

Instead of going all the way around through Duncan.

THE OMB/YGB's are on the way across the River and with real beer in tow :)

More Texans are pre-registered than Okies - come on gang get some computers up there

See you in a bit Joe and Danielle

Yes that will work.

I am pretty sure I am dragging my old ***** up with my oldest boy in tow.

The way you are asking about above would be much faster.

how does it compare to taking 287/81 the whole way?

Yeah it cuts out about 20 miles.

It depends what part of the DFW area your coming from

287/81 is only 2.5 hours. DO IT

we are starting at 35 and 820, so we should just stick to 287/81 then?

Finding Duncan Lake road on Hwy 7 is a pain. It is much easier to go through town then out Plato.

send me your address and I will google it and tell you which is faster

ITS A TRAP!

shut your face or you will be staying home Mr.

Google maps (http://maps.google.com/) punch in your adress and then check out the new street view.. sorry does not look like Okla has street view DOH

Duncan is at least 10 maybe 15 years behind most major cities in the U.S. I lived there for 18 years and I am still not over it and I have been gone almost 20.

Woo! Hoo! 169 players! A new Duncan Lake record. Joe Rotan is doing a great and twisted job! Sally Majestic played tonight and I am now a Sally Magestic fan! They are some very talented musicians. I had seen David Nicholson play the national anthem on you tube and it was sweet but to hear it live at the lake was killer sweet! I was out on the alternate course putting the last portable basket out while Rotan was having the rules meeting and all of a sudden I heard the national anthem start up. That was so cool to hear that while I was out in the middle of the course with no one in sight! His version sounds so much like the Hendrix version. So sweet! I have a sinus infection, sore throat and all but I have been having a blast.

Wow, what a list of players! Eevn if the golf isn't going so well for some (Big Nic) :o, the party will sure be a blast.

Tied for 8th Cambagger...Rotan kept it TWISTED

One amazing weekend...!!!!!!

I am glad you enjoyed it Adam! Hope you come back next year.

Man that was a trip. After being out there for days with a bad sore throat from a sinus infection on the last day I couldn't talk at all. It was crazy! I never have lost my voice that bad. All I could do when someone asked me a question or just wanted to talk was make a squeaking noise. :DI finally figured out if I just whispered as loud as I could People could at least figure out what I was saying and it didn't irritate my throat as bad. They did however wonder why I was whispering all the time. My daughter helped out a ton when she showed up by being my voice. I would just whisper in her ear what I needed said and then she would talk for me. I had to have her and one of the food girls answer my phone for me or make my calls. What a deal! Some of the craziest things happen to me. I can just imagine if I would have been the tournament td. It is a day later and my voice still hasn't returned. Of course my wife doesn't mind that at all. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I am glad you enjoyed it Adam! Hope you come back next year.



I will be back next year for sure Johnny...great tourney

stick with just posting for a few days..take it easy on the voice :)

I will be back next year also!!! I havent been humbled like that in years, cant wait to redeem myself!!!
Toughest golf I have ever played, but what beautiful holes!!!
Joe Rotan ROX!!!
Great shooting KEN R!!!

Thanks for coming Michael! It is so cool that you guys travel that far for it.

what he said, im bringing a microwave for my dinner and a refrigerator for my beers next year, electricity at my tent, what???

hey, who took pictures, i want to see them, that course was beautiful.
cyall next year

we got our butts kicked and it wasn't even windy!! imagine if it had been. ouch. hope to see you okies again next year.

how bout the scores of mitch mac, incredible.

I liked seeing so many Texans in Okie territory. Hope to see ya' again next year! Thanks again Joe Rotan for a killer fun tournament. Also thanks to Jose' for helping me get the portables out Sunday morning and getting them back in and dis-assembled Sunday evening!

Man, did that last 9 wipe out anyone else? That, staying awake for 48 hours, and having to pick ticks off the nether regions won't stop me from going next year. Hope this tourney stays around for a long time. On to the flightline and then the glass blown.

Congrats to the winners, wish we could have made it.

Props to Kel-Dog for rockin' the EDGE raffles and to all of you for supporting this great cause. YOU WILL see the great affects of your efforts over the next year in Oklahoma and Arkansas.

I hit the pole on the $10,000 ace run down in Texas a couple of weeks ago. Any near riches at the Hillclimber?

Hey Jay, hope you and Des can make it next year. Yeah there were a couple of ace runs through the air that got us really excited. Didn't miss by much. There were also two that skipped and hit metal. They wouldn't have counted but they were still exciting to watch.

any pics from the event posted up yet or the video of PeeWee getting taped to the tree? :)

any pics from the event posted up yet or the video of PeeWee getting taped to the tree? :)



I would like to see that too. :DI don't have any of Pee Wee getting taped but I have a few others. I haven't got them developed yet. I have an ancient camera.

That's okay Johnny..I told one of the young ones with his digital camera that he was a shutterbug after watching him take a few hundred pics and he had no idea what that was :)

Sometimes it's nice to be the old school golfer out there

2009 will be 20yrs for me and Duncan will be on that list w/o a doubt

To everyone that came out to the 9th annual DLHO... it was a record setting year. 169 players converged on the toughest track in Oklahoma to see exactly why it was called "the hillclimber". All in all it was a blast and everyone behaved for the most part.

I can't thank Johnny, Jose, Barb, Kim, Karla, Danielle, treats and the Watsons enough. It takes a TEAM of folks to make a event run smooth and on time... This team pulled it off and afforded me the time to do the things that make me and my events TWISTED. Thanks again friends.

It was very nice to see Friends of the Flyer from Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma. It was also very nice to see all the TD's that stepped up to donate entries to both the "your already a winner" and "Keldog's E.D.G.E raffle". As I said at the event we wanted to spread the riches over the field as much as possible and I feel we did that at this years DLHO. Between the raffles, rings of fire, the band, the $10,000.00 Hole in one, PHAT players packs and the added cash and prizes there was something for everyone.I would like to thank Innova, Gateway, Discraft, KICKER and Revolution DGB'sfor their continued support.

Even though I rolled the "free discs for 5 years" E.D.G.E Hole in one over to Hole #1 all weekend NOBODY HIT IT AGAIN... 2 weekends in a row. And as we all know by now the $10,000.00 hole in one wasn't hit either... SO NEXT YEARS WILL BE $20,000.00

I would have posted sooner but I came home to the "Spy Killer Pro" bug... :mad:

I appreciate all of the love and support everyone has given along the way... it helps keep it TWISTED! :cool:

Even though I rolled the "free discs for 5 years" E.D.G.E Hole in one over to Hole #1 all weekend NOBODY HIT IT AGAIN... 2 weekends in a row.


Sammy Shumaker on my card rattled the basket on #1 Saturday. He had visions of free discs for a second or two...

Sound's like I missed a fun weekend. Work and weekends make a bad combination. Maybe next year. What's up with all the low scores in the low divisions from players without PDGA memberships ? What are these people afraid of ?

The Fee.

Thanks again Joe Ro and Danielle! Get your cameras out this evening. Supercells are suppost to converge on Okieland. You might be able to get a good twisted pic for a disc or something. I have a few twisted pics. You can't beat amateur storm chasing for a good rush.

any pics from the event posted up yet or the video of PeeWee getting taped to the tree? :)

Are there any discs left over from this event? My buddy brought me back a CryZtal Avenger and the stamp is nice. I like the jeep logo on it, what's the signifigance there?

Hey Bird! We have a couple discs left with that stamp. An ESP Wasp.

Since its called the Hillclimber the joke is you need an SUV (jeep) to get through the second day. Long tradition I guess.

Want one? Coming in town today. Also have the new Xcalibers.
