BUMP

I think I have my wife talked into playing this event this year. Been working on it for the last 2. She is wanting me to caddy for her though, my question is(and I am sure there is), but is there any caddy rules I should know or somewhere I can read them? I imagine it's just following the normal rules, but just want to make sure....

caddies have not rules....but if you escourt the whole card there is rules.They will be avalible the day of escourting
BRING HER!

from the competition manual:

3.5. Carts and Caddies
A. Players are required to walk during their tournament
rounds at all PDGA events unless alternate transportation
such as golf carts are provided to all competitors
B. Players will have the option to bring a caddie or carrying
device during their round of play. A player�s caddie is
subject to all items with in the PDGA Rules of Play and the
PDGA Competition Manual including all applicable dress
codes.
C. Players choosing to use a caddie will be solely responsible
for their caddie�s conduct. Misconduct by a caddie may
subject the player and caddy to disqualification and/or
suspension.
D. Players must instruct their caddies to maintain a
reasonable distance and not interfere with a competitor
attempting his or her shot.
E. For those players wishing to use a carrying device,
approved carrying devices include disc golf bags, foldable
chairs and push cart companions. No animals, motor
driven or bicycle type devices shall be allowed at all PDGA
events.

from the competition manual::confused:
I think that applies to a N.T.....and everyone knows Texas doesn't have enough players, courses, or money to have a N.T.
littles less USDGC spots.........PDGA????? YAH HEAR ME CALLING YAH OUT!

I've always been told that players are responsible for their caddies. Any rules infractions by the caddie (i.e. drinking, courtesy violations, ect) during the round result in warnings/penalties applied to that caddies player.

Someone give V a Competition manual.....caddies are held to all the same rules....so no drinky

Off topic, but the PDGA did not pull the NT out of Texas.
Texas opted out of the NT schedule.

AND WHOM IN/IS TEXAS TO MAKE THAT CALL.....

Off topic, but the PDGA did not pull the NT out of Texas.
Texas opted out of the NT schedule.



Thread drift. Do you really feel we opted out by choice? Or was it more a difference of style and concrete?

I was under the impression it was a direct result of the
" Good ol' boy network " , something in regards to catering to the need's of the age protected divisions ....

It is a shame that the state with the most dense population of disc golf courses, does not even have a NT on schedule.
WAY TO REPRESENT

Regardless of what happened, this is not the thread to discuss it.

Wingate (the host hotel) will be providing a meet and greet your TD's and staff for Friday night.
Come and meet the folks getting it done and enjoy FREE beer!
Joins us at the upstairs confrence room.
Lot more things rolling in ....we will keep yah updated

The final formal planning meeting for the 4th annual Texas Women's Championship (April 26th & 27th - Round Rock TX) will be this Tuesday April 1st @ Lala & Edman's from 7:00-8:30ish. All Staff, Escorts, Players & Spectators are welcome to attend - there will be food, so please RSVP by 3 tomorrow (byob - sorry). We will continue discussions & finalize several outstanding issues. You input, support, help is greatly appreciated.

If you are not able to attend & wish to make cash or merchandise donations, please mail items to the above address along with logo & company/individual name. If you need directions - shoot me an e mail/PM & I'll get them to you asap. And be sure to remember that TEXAS WOMEN ROCK!!!

See you in the fairway!! Lala

Waterloo Disc Golf Club will be giving away a Discatcher Sport basket to one of the players through our station.

Keep the entries coming in, ladies.

Meeting went very well last night. Where we are short at right now is escorts and girly stations. We need committments as soon as possible from the escorts that will not be someone's caddy. We had a few bumps in the road last year when we had 2 escorts that were caddy's wind up on the same card. So please PM me or Vinnie if you are available for this, we need some guys to step up and help us with this.
We need 3 more clubs committed to running girly stations. If we get this committment then each club will only have to run 1 round on 1 course and won't have to break-down at lunch and move to another course. Let us know, 24 days and counting.
Keep the sposorship rolling in, and thanks to all for contributing to a hopefully historic event for attendence for women.

3rd Coast is trying to round up some funds to send a couple of our ladies. Does anyone have floor space available? And when is the last available time to sign them up?

Yes, we can find the space.

saturday morning ...NO LATER THAN 9AM

Here are some of the details:
Player�s packs are awesome
Two qualifying spots for the Maple Open
Four courses
Big galleries
Lots of sponsors (It will take me all year to thank them)
Cat hollow will be Friday sign up
Wingate conference room will host the meet and greet the staff (free beer!)
Please get a room at Wingate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And Ed and I are so wrapped up in making 70 ladies happy �.we could make coffee nervous/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

How different is the Winter Rock course than the one I played at Outlaws last year?

They take out all four trees in the winter :D

pretty funny for a guy whose home course is all ROCKS!!!!

Emily, to answer your question about winter course the course this year will play 12 of the original holes and 6 temps.

38 ladies sign up on line........now I am freaking out......I know of at least another 15 needing to sign up.
What the heck is the record for female attendance?

I think that would be 78 at the 2006 USWDGC.

TWC held it at 52 for a few months in 2005.

Could you imagin if the P.D.G.A. didn't plan any A Tiers/ NT and the state of Texas could would work together........

Emily, to answer your question about winter course the course this year will play 12 of the original holes and 6 temps.



I have a question,

so we are not playing the original rock course? It will be a little shorter? I hope... Never played this course but heard it was long..... :p

pros and advance play the ROCK the same course the fellers play

Could you imagin if the P.D.G.A. didn't plan any A Tiers/ NT and the state of Texas could would work together........



I generally try to....

The reality seldom lives up to it.

Here are some of the details:

Catt hollow will be Friday sign up





Vinnie, how late will someone be at Cat Hollow for sign ups tonight?

SuperGirl (Nicole) was really hoping to play in the TWC this year. However she is still recovering from a partial tear in one of her quadriceps muscles (where it connects to the hip). She is almost completely healed (she has been out of soccer and disc golf for 5 weeks), but has not been cleared by the doctor to play this weekend.

Although she is very disappointed to be missing this year's TWC, she wants to send everyone her best wishes for this weekend. She knows everyone will have a great time!

Thanks........Rick and Nicole

Happy Birthday Seewhere! Nicole... get well soon Nelle and I will see you next time.

I think I've talked Vinnie into agreeing to wear a tie-dyed dress for the awards ceremony next year if TWC can set a new women's attendence record. Let's see if we can't make that happen.

Does anyone know why the intermediate and rec women's 2nd round isn't rated? The intermediate women through from the same tees the advanced and open women through from.

Sweet Lou scored @ TWC :D:p :D :eek: :DHeheheheheh!!!!

Thanx to everyone that made this weekend so special!!!!
The boyz from the Double R & central texas clubs really rocked the house this year. Thanx SOOOO much!!
I'm goin' to Massachusetts. My 4 th TWC & I've been to Women's Nationals, Marshall Street, & now the Maple Street Open from qualifiers & give aways - this tournament ROCKS!!!!!

Does anyone know why the intermediate and rec women's 2nd round isn't rated? The intermediate women through from the same tees the advanced and open women through from.



That would be my fault, Mrs. S. I thought Int and Rec played the shorter tees at Wilco. I'll get it fixed later today.

Does anyone know why the intermediate and rec women's 2nd round isn't rated? The intermediate women through from the same tees the advanced and open women through from.

It's not rated because they played from different tees than the pros. They may get rated later if enough players in those divisions where rated.

Thanx again for all your hard work this weekend Lou & everyone else!! Thanx to all the ladies for comin out!!

Thanks Lou! Rec did throw from different tees, but Intermediate threw from the same as adv and pro.

:-)

as a caddy i had a blast, this tourney is one of a kind, and something all disc golfers should experience man or women /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D

LALA- Are you making down to Liechester this yr?

Maple Hill Open - Here I come!!! :)

Another fine performance by the TWC staff. Thanks again to Vinnie, Ed and the rest of the crew.

Yes. Thanks to all who helped, played, or did anything to make this possible.
on a side note, if anyone found a ctp bag at Cat Hollow with a twisted flyer Predator, my wife might let me live longer if it's returned.

I have a three leg golf stool that was left in the back of my truck Sunday. It has a Huk Lab sticker on the bottom of each leg.

Congrats Des on the win and that 1003 rated round!! (i remember you said that was a goal of yours)

Sounds like Vinnie's, but his has his name on the seat also... May have been from the putting contest, check w/Parker

Lou has reposted the raffle #'s &amp; a few of these items went unclaimed. Please PM or e mail me if you still have your tickets &amp; won something. [email protected]

Also, one payout item per division was overlooked. All division winners - including Pro's &amp; Juniors - your information has been sent to Twin Parks Country Club - each of you also won a membership at the coutry club - this is NON TRANSFERABLE. (for you, not to sell or trade) :)

Thanx again to everyone for making this years TWC a huge success - can't imagine how badass the 5th annual will be. :)

Cool LALA! Bringing your brother? Maybe we will get to play together again this year.

Just talked w/Butthead about it last night, &amp; he's not coming. :( Looks like this one will be a ladies only trip. :)

The books are closed for TWC 2008
PDGA fees paid and results sent
We are meeting this week to start the planning for the largest women's field ever TWC 2009.
Thank you to everyone that helped, the players, and to staff I consider family.
By far the best TD experience I have ever enjoyed.
Running the TWC is like running no other event....I got burnt out running these men events......(bunch of whinners :D)The feeling I get before, durning, and after the TWC is why I started running events like 100years ago. Every year of TWC bring that felling back. I may have given up running events, but as long as you ladies will have me I will be involved in the TWC.
