Halili, I dont see your name yet in the am1 division. Are you scared of what Texas is bringing?

Go G.

masters cup is a must go to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

masters cup is a must go to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




De La knows how to run a Tourney as well as Team Justice!

Halili, I dont see your name yet in the am1 division. Are you scared of what Texas is bringing?




Someone in Nor Cal please tell Halili and Bruner theres a package waiting for them in Santa Cruz, April 18th. A little pay back from the Memorial for Bruner

So who is favored to take AM 1 this year? A local DeLa player, someone from CA, or an out-of-towner? :D

I'm rooting for Krash!! :cool:

For the Ams..
Someone from Cali...probably NOT a local.. :D

For the Pros...

Kenny.. /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

I'll be rolling in, in 15 days :cool:

Hey Mike!

You may be right for AM 1--last few years it's been:
2007 local
2006 San Jose
2005 local
2004 San Jose (I think)
2003 local
2002 local

Could be the year for a non-local CA winner... :D If Patrick Brown plays well, SF could crack into the winners circle.

For the Pro side:
Berl will have her hands full with the competition, but I give her a solid edge on her home course! ;)
I'm pulling for Nate to win it this year, though the Open field is solid.
And yes, Kenny Lee gets my vote for Pro GM!

See you in a couple of weeks!
Steve

My goal is to just cash in that pro field. I played with Nate, Anton, and Rico the second round last year and they smoked me bad. Those guys are awesome! I don't see my self ever shooting -12 from the longs out there. Can't wait to get back to the best course in the country. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

And yes, Kenny Lee gets my vote for Pro GM!




/msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif SANDBAGGER /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

:D



Sandbagger? I don't even feel like I'm the favorite to win the very tough GM division. There will be lots of players there that have played that track hundreds of times. I've played maybe 20 rounds at DeLa. And I don't have time to practice it :mad:since the Ams are there this weekend and next weekend is Motherlode. :cool: I 'will' side-bet Masters players though. :D

I just got off work and am preparing to drive up to Santa Cruz tonight to be there early in the morning. I am very excited to be playing this one and look forward to playing De La.

On a side note...is anyone planning on watching UFC 83 up there Saturday night? Willing to pitch in funds if someone is watching it.

AND they are OFF!!!

Good Luck to the AMS.... :D

13 days to go for me... :cool:
:D

I hope we get to play at least one round together, Magilla.

Scores!

Ganz!!

Anyone

Ganz!!



Stan is doing the scores - Ganz is just winning Am Masters!

Hey Matt,

I was spotting on #18 for most of the afternoon and Ganz had the best drive I'd seen over a 4 hr period. He made it to the edge of the 10 m ring (deep position on right) and went for the birdie, just missing it. Very cool to see!

The spotter before me said he saw only 4 players get birdies in the 4 hr prior to my arrival... :o

See you in two weeks!
Steve

Scores: http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=7430

Highlights:
Tim Messer aced 26A and followed it up with by canning a 60ft putt on 27 for birdie in front of the gallery.

That was my best first round ever at the Masters Cup. Missed only one inside the circle, but didn't make anything outside. Could have been even lower.

It's gonna get cold and windy out there tomorrow. I can't wait. :)

Why are so many pros playing in the am division?What a bunch of baggers.6 players have a 950 and over player rating what is the problem?This is not a division for 950 players.These player should not be able to play in this event ,the numbers dont lie ,only the players.....When is this going to stop .....Bagging is a big problem the TDs or the pdga needs to adderss this issue now!!!!!!!!Time to push the bird with feathers from the nest ......Dont worry they can fly... :(

No bagging going on here with the official PDGA ratings break at 970 for sliding between pro and am. If anything, we're solving the opposite of "bagging" called "dreaming" that you can contend in top tier pro events with a stable 960 rating.

Come on Reese...Since when are we allowed to tell an AM when they MUST play Pro??

At least NOT since the ratings intro AND the abolishment of NorCals BUMP RULE, which worked VERY WELL and was VERY fair. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

:D

Kudos to local boy Jamie Tuckey taking it to the rest of the field over the first two days! Keep it rolling Jamie! :D

It's interesting to note that even though there are six AM 1 players currently rated over 960 (and two over 970), that no one is shooting under par. Granted, the course layout is about as tough as it can get, but in two weeks when the Pros show up, I can guarantee LOTS of under par scores, even in the Master's and Women's divisions (no slight intended).

If there are AMs 'bagging' in this weekend's event, they would simply be fodder for the Pro purse--NO chance of cashing.

As Magilla points out, there is no mechanism to force players to jump to Pro. And winning the Master's Cup is truly an accomplishment, on the level of any of the big A-tier tournaments, and a real feather in the cap.

I hope Jamie adds one to his hat! :D Go DeLa!
Cheers,
Steve

Way to go Krash with the 3rd lowest score of the day in your division. Way to catch ChucK!!! Delta Windjammer Duane Fuller holds on to 3rd in the Intermediate! I'm proud of you guys.
Intermediate guy shoots the best round of the day! bump...Norcal rules.

Congratulations to local golfer Jamie Tuckey for winning AM 1, taking it by 9 strokes (and the ONLY player under par for the whole tournament)!! :D :cool: The hit parade of local talent continues for another year. :cool:

Sean Ulrich, another local, takes his first win in AM Masters! And Steve Ganz was right behind him--good job!

And local Rob Brox improves on his 3rd place finish last year to edge out other local Mark Caton in Adv Grandmasters.

Chasidee takes Int Women by ten strokes!

Quite a showing for the locals, and there's a lot to be said about knowing the in-and-outs of DeLa.

Looking forward to the Pro weekend.
Cheers,
Steve

Looking forward to the Pro weekend.

Steve



Likewise, but I'm not looking past The Motherlode. :D

Hey Kenny,

Good luck at the 'Lode.

All the pins at DeLa are in position for the Pro tournament, so folks can head into SC and see what the first two days will be like. Fairly brutal... Hole #17 is currently in play, with the pin from #20 removed to fill the #17 slot. Hole #20 and 22 will not be in play during the tournament to allow for more parking, per usual.

Cheers,
Steve :D

Fairly brutal... Hole #17 is currently in play, :D



SWEET...I like "gravity"... ;)
:D

Hole 12 (The chimes) is in the short spot right now, which isn't the tournament position. We'll move it on Tuesday of next week. Too many rec players spending time at the refrigerator during the weekend.

That hole needs an alternate right by the fridge. :D
I can't even imagine how many strokes I've lost to #20. I am so glad that's a parking lot for this tourney. I don't have to park down the street.
Gravity is good, Magilla. Gotta get it every round to make a move. That one, 21 and 8a. There's -9 right there (in a perfect world).
Wait...Motherlode, Motherlode, Motherlode. Can't look past you.

Not that I want to keep you off track, but...

For the pro weekend we are removing the rest of the parking lot holes. 20 - 24 will not be in play. We will use the additional space for more parking and a larger practice/warm-up area.

The course will be long all weekend. Some of the holes will change, but none of them will be moved to their shortest positions.

See you all in a week at the skins match!

That sucks.
Those were the only holes I birdied.

So will we be playing 5 and 6 and 27a?

Yes, 5, 6 and 26a will be in play. They will all be in their long positions.

Ha Ha..

I knew that before YOU did..... :p
:D

What? Are WE playing for some skins while the BIG match is going on?

Bring it, Stan...AND your money.. /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
:D

Is that the top pro skins on Friday like last year with Kenny, Dave, Des and Steve? I heard that was a great match to watch...... If it is... what time does it start?

Not sure it has been on a friday before. We are usually playing that day... /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

It is on Wednesday, I think at 1pm.

$50 per Hole - Ken Climo, Avery Jenkins, Nate Doss & Manabu Kajiyama

Not sure exactly how many holes...

Should be AWESOME :D

26A is short right now, but it will be moved?

Hey Matt,

My understanding is that it will be in the long position all tournament.
Cheers,
Steve

Sorry Magilla, I was in on the decision making process. Way before DT asked you about it :). Now let's put em back in our pants and take out the wallets.

When are you up here? I'm down for some money rounds, or maybe even a side bet on the our tourney scores.

And, just that quickly, the 21, 22 and 23 are back in play for Friday and Saturday. Our esteemed TD caught too much flack against it and not enough support for it, so he's decided to put them back in play for Friday and Saturday.

Tune in Thursday just in case saga isn't over.

How soon will the tee times be posted for Fridays Round?

Tee times will be posted Wednesday evening on the tournament page (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=7284).

They will also be posted at DJ's Mini Mart and at the course that evening.

This gonna have live scoring?

nm.

That's a good question. I believe there will be for at least the lead group on Saturday and Sunday. Steve Ganz would be the right one to ask about this, I'll try to see what he has to say.

Steve says yes, there will be live scoring. He will also be updating scores as the cards come in.

Tee times for Friday are up. :p

Just finished watching Climo, Doss, Jenkins and Manabu battle it out in a $50 per hole skins game sponsored by Hall of Famer Tom Schot. I watched in horror/amazement as Kenny, Nate and Avery all ran it for a birdie on hole #21 (shortest on course), whereas Manabu's upshot (worst drive) parked him about 10 ft from the pin. Then all three missed their par putts and Manabu dropped in for a par--and $300 cash (6 holes)!! :o:eek:

Kenny finally got two skins two holes later on #23 as his roller was parked and everyone else floundered their drives. He picked up another $100 on #25--he was the only one to go straight at the pin--the others took the anhyzer route to the long pin position.

Congratulation to Tom Schot Sports and all the folks supporting this event. We had about 50 people following the foursome the whole time. :D

Cheers,
Steve

Thanks Steve for getting the live scoring up for the Am's. And congrats on a great finish. I am looking forward to next year! I heard there was going to be a strong Delta Windjammer breeze blowing in Santa Cruz this all weekend.

Can anyone tell me if live scoring is available for the pro weekend, and if so, can someone post a link on here for those of us who are computer illiterate?

Scores are now streaming:

http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=7284

I'm uploading each card as they finish. In addition to that we'll have live leader card scoring on the weekend.

This just in. Magilla deuced the infamous I-5, joining only a handful of players who have ever done so.

Oregon Represent! Way to go Magilla.

With regard to Mike's 2 on I-5, was it a skip shot or did he go over the top on his second shot? Not sure what the other options might be.

Thumber over the top.

Is this a 27 hole course?

Yep. 27 holes. Par 81.

10 Chris Flesner 77 -4

Nice....

Way to start NORCAL players!

Today I saw something very rare. I was spotting on hole #7--in the long position. Over the course of 2+ hours I saw lots of pars, multiple bogeys, and a few birdies. In one group, Climo and local Jon Baldwin both birdied.

A few groups later, the lead card came through (Avery, Micah, Josh and Nate). All four drove within 10 ft of the pin!! :eek: Drop in birdie frame! Spectacular! :D

I am proud to say I birdied #7 in the long on Day 2. My drive, which I thought was not that great after it left my hand, ended up about 25ft on the right hand side under the small trees. I parred it on Day 3 when they shortened it. GOOD LUCK to all of you NORCAL players on Sunday! :D

Anyone from the second or third cards doing some damage?

Playoff between Rico and Jenkins.

Rico birdies on the 1st hole to win, WTG Steve and Avery. Must have been pretty dramatic. Details....

text from my bro (c. coates) "avery bogeys top of the world by hitting a tent pop up, rico bangs 70 footer to win playoff"

Rico's putt was about 35 feet uphill. He was ready to putt and then a bunch of cameras started clicking so he backed off. He went thru his routine again and nailed it dead center. Avery putted first. He was about 40 out and didn't really throw a very good putt. Real low and safe.

In the Women's Div. Valerie's pink skirt was the difference in edging out hometown favorite Burl.

Geoff Lissaman appeared to just be taking a Sunday stroll out there in a big win over Jim Oates and friends.

J Michael Barry is the King of Santa Cruz with a sweet double digit victory over some frustrated GM's. This 56 year old stud just qualified for the USDGC!! Way to go, my friend.

Phil Gansert easily outdistanced the rest of the SGM division winning going away.

Awesome weekend in Santa Cruz!!!! :cool:

J Michael "bagging" you GM's. He's hard to beat in Open at DeLa.

Hey Matt!

After watching you throwing that 2001 USDGC Roc at the Worlds I pulled mine out of the garage and put it into my bag. What a friggin sweet disc! I wish I had bought ten of them! Who cares what it goes for on eBay, watching it hold a straight line forever and ever from Top of the World was priceless!!

Are you heading to Kalamazoo??

Does anybody know who made the magnificent trophies for the Master's Cup this year???

DD

Dave,

Great drive and nice putt to birdie out the last hole! I loved watching you step up to your mark and just 'play on'--guys in my group said your were fast but I had no idea! Great shooting on Sunday.

Trophy maker is--I'm fairly sure--Mike Suchoki (sorry if misspelled), a Pro up in Oregon, who has a glass art business, making everything from glass markers, small art pieces, to glassware for tobacco. :o:D

Cheers,
Steve

Yup, Mike did the glass baskets on the trophies and Santa Cruz local Faith Green put it all together with style.

Nice throwing there yourself DD. I plan to go to Worlds, but I have to wait I did not get an invite. :confused:

I look forward to slowing you down again. :D

This just in. Magilla deuced the infamous I-5, joining only a handful of players who have ever done so.



/msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

:D

WOW that is a SICK deuce....Congrats Gilla

Yep, I think we're all pretty amazed by that one.
:eek:

You're in the history books now, Magilla.
I heard you also parked #25.

Nice shootin'!
:cool:

- JPB

I went 4-4-4 on that hole :(
Congrats Magilla on his luck shot. J/k I hope you liked the picture I left for you on the info board by tee 23.

Thank you, Kenny Climo, for picking up my 175 RR. Last time I saw it, it was 100 feet above the "chimes hole".

Thank you, Marty, for selling me two gold, CE ,heavy, first run Cobras at market price. I will use them and not sell them on E-bay.

Thank you, Daviar, for running a smooth tourney with the help of all of the Vols. You looked good in a suit out there. Very professional.

Thank you, CA and Tom Schot, for creating one diabolically mental course. :cool:

So, who were thee usdgc qualifiers beside JMB?
