Also New Belgium will provide a 1/2 barrel on Saturday. Dinner is provided Saturday at Endicott.

4 great courses. All players play the same layout. Two par 54 courses in Jefferson Barracks and Endicott Park. Sioux Passage is a par 63 and Creve Coeur a par 69.

Am player receive vouchers so you can pick your prizes. Plaques for the top players.

Last year we were the 12th biggest tournament by the number of entrants. I think it was 170 players.

Baskets awarded to top AM players.

We may even have a band Saturday night.

We'll do up to 4 pools at once so we can keep from doing 5 somes.

Hope you can make it.

Mr. Barry Schultz will be in the house.

Possible discs in the players pack from a unreliable source, ie me. The long awaited re-issued San Marino Roc. Discraft is doing the Force. Not sure on Gateway yet. The 4th disc is undecided yet. Oh, unlike other tournaments even the Rec player's get a 4 disc players pack.

For those who have not attended the St. Louis Open, expect great courses, dinner on Saturday and free beer from New Belgium, most likely Fat Tire.

We'll also be doing a bunch of give away stuff from our sponsor Saturday Night.

Oh, yea, we are set up to do 4 pools so you don't spend all weekend waiting to tee.

"If you build it, will they come". We'll see.

Concrete tee pads on all the courses. This is good.

Ok, here is a good reason to come. I'm playing open masters and I'm no good, you come play, you will beat me.

See ya..

Ray gateway will most likely give away a Magic in the players pack!
I'll have to wait and see how many are left after all the auto ship customers are sent their discs.

you only need 150 right?

Mike Robinson and I will be attending. Anyone opening their home for some disc golfers for the weekend?

anyone know of a decent campground somewhat near the courses?

Got my plane ticket this morning, and my pre-reg is in. My nephew will be out of the Army after 6 years, Afganistan and Iraq tours, on the 29th ... he'll be picking me up as a civilian! Looking forward to some great disc golf, a fun event, and seeing my family.

i'm not playing this year; but 3 of the 4 courses are outstanding in my opinion. creve coure isn't my cup of tea. the tournament was very well run. too bad they can't get 3 or 4 1/2 barrels for the party.

1 reason only, St. Johns. Not a good thing for 2 much of anything ;) Endicott is the best short course in STL, by far :o This is home base for the open.

Peace :cool:

PS fence liners, will love the courses :cool: Not any of our courses compare. All of them are their own entity. Not 1 course will you say, wow, that was like, the other one /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Let me look into backyards. Best camping is 20 or so miles out. Gas prices( :mad:) there is a better word. I will get back to you.

Peace

Camping in St. Louis is non-existent. I'm sure you can find someone to crash with. As far a multilple half barrels we had more than one last year and that was one too much. Let's keep it safe. Kind of goes back to the "run very well" you mentioned.

Did we mention 4 discs for the ams and a shirt. Even if you play Rec with the entry of $30 you get double that in value if you player rating allows.

If some of you 720 Blowing Green Ams would like to play some really good courses, with an awesome payout, free dinner and beer, where you get vouchers and you pick the prizes. (We just order a fresh supply from our Gold sponsors Gateway, Innova Champion, Discraft) Plaques for top players in all divisions.

As said earlier, we built it will they come. Ask the players who went the last two years. They will tell you.

Only the first 150 paid ams get the player's pack.

see www.stldiscgolf.com (http://www.stldiscgolf.com) for details.

I would suggest posting on the message board at www.stldiscgolf.com. (http://www.stldiscgolf.com.) More locals read that board than this one...

My camping set-up is very non-intrusive. Tent goes on my truck bed & everthing goes back in the bed with me in the morning. I'm not 100% on whether I'm taking Friday off work yet so I may just need a place to park/camp for Saturday night.

Post/Copy your messages on the RiverCityFlyers message board to reach St Louis golfers. http://www.stldiscgolf.com./
I have 3 or 4 out of town golfers staying at my house/yard already. My wife feels maxed out. As tourney time draws nearer...we'll see.

We will make that happen one way or another.

the STL Open is a qualifier for the USADGC in Michigan for Advanced players
http://www.midgp.com/index.html

And its a qualifier for the Vibram Open at Maple Hill (formerley Marshall Street) for pro players. Only players who wish to qualify are playing for 5 available spots.
http://www.maplehillopen.com/default.html

Come and play. OK....

I'm headed in from Indianapolis. If anyone is interested in car pooling hit me up. So far I'm solo & have a crew cab truck so there's plenty of room.

~Jesse

Is there any possibility that the pro divisions will know where they are playing both days before Saturday morning? I'm expecting to have my nephew drive me to the course, and get me from course to course between rounds. It would be very helpful to know where we will be going so I can plan ahead, and let my ride know what's going to be happening.

Not exactly sure how all this "traveling" from course to course is going to work out. I may be looking for rides ... who knows. I doubt if I will be driving.

Boneman, we do not know. It depends on how the pools shake out. There will be plenty of people who can get you from the players meeting at Endicott to your courses and back to Endicott on Saturday for the players party.

We are having web issues, someone hit our site with a virus.

I am getting very excited about this tournament. Its going to be great.

im looking at coming down whats a close hotel to the 3 courses that dont seem to far apart and anyone looking to car pool

im looking at coming down whats a close hotel to the 3 courses that dont seem to far apart and anyone looking to car pool


There will be 4 courses used in the St Louis open,
There's a Hampton INN at 270 and Dorsett thats very close to Creve coeur less the 15 minutes from Endicott.

JB is way south and Sioux passage way north, so staying close to either of these is not too convenient.

I'm sure we can find some locals who are willing to put players up for those looking to save a few bucks.

if anyone is looking for a place to stay just contact me at [email protected] and I will try and get you a hook up!

The weather is shaping up nicely.
Tired of the the strange weather.
Very nice weekend for golf.

No caddy coming along, anyone looking to split a hotel room? I'm coming in from Indy on Friday.

We will be having an Acoustic Blugrass Band on Saturday for the Players Party at Endicott from 6 to 8pm.

will there be any beer?
Like maybe Fat Tire???

Like maybe Fat Tire???



Need to try 1554, it is good

hmmm... does it say on the flyer?

Fat Tire will be there at Endicott Saturday Night. The beer is free and so is dinner which is also at Endicott.

Player's packs are done. The first 150 paid ams get 4 discs and a shirt. That even goes for the Rec division which is only 30 bucks.

Currently there are 124 player's registered. Last year we had 174 total players of which only half registered before Friday. So does that mean 248 total player's?

Look forward to seeing you all this weekend. Ray get's to play. NICE>>>

First thing in the morning could be noonish getting me in town by 4 if Im lukcy. What time are you guys planning on hitting Endicott?

~Jesse

Ray, the band wants to play at my house after the party. I'll bring the keg(S) back empty I promise.

Mike Robinson and I will be attending. Anyone opening their home for some disc golfers for the weekend?


Mike, give me a call if you are still in need of a place to stay and you don't mind a crowd. 314-583-3340

Played Jefferson Barracks Park yesterday with friends and ran into Barry Schultz. We were playing hole 16 and waited for Barry and his buddy to tee off on hole 13 so we could complete the hole. What do you know but he hits an ace on hole 13 while we were waiting! We gave him a buck each for the pleasure. Inspired, Neil drains a 60 foot putt. Lots of hollering on hole 13 and 16.

The group from Evansville will be arriving at my house around 1pm. We will arrive at Endicott by 2pm. They will probably stay and play and I will go to work. I'll get you hooked up with contact info and directions when you call.

Mike Robison and I are on are way in about 1.5 hours.

LOTS of players signed up today, meaning MANY. Final numbers will be up tomorrow. Gonna be a good one.

Tired, you know whom you are, as to how, its works. Gonna be a grateful weekend, NO RAIN in the forcast, thank goodness.

Peace,

RonSTL

Schults wins by 3 over Nikko and Justin with Boro coming in 4th!

During the last round before the final 9 Nikko was up by 2 and threw a huge roller left of a double mandatory on Hole 6 at CC lake. We have never played this as a mandatory but it was marked really well and is almost impossible to miss ( unless your trying to which nikko was).
Barry said Nikko was was playing very well and quite relaxed before the incident and never really got mad, but also didnt ever fully recover from the mishap and seemed to be pressing from there on out!
He paid Nikko a great compliment saying he handled the mistake very professionally and as well as anyone could have considering the importance of the mistake and the fact it was on one of his home courses.

I heard Barry played very well in the final 9 and at the awards ceremony he had a lot of good things to say about the event and the courses.

ADVANCED AM:
After 81 holes there was a 3 way tie for 1st in advanced with Zack ( your up,,,, I already shot) Asbury talking it on the 1st play off hole Parking his Razor back Wizard on hole 1 for the win over Bryan "sidearmageddon" Johnson.
3rd place was Michael "The machine" Austin.

I TD the Advanced pool and saw a lot of great potential out there this weekend.
Biggest difference between advanced and pro was obviously in the putting, with many short putts missed over the weekend and especially in the final 9!

181 total players 4 discs in the am players package, keg of Fat Tire, dinner, a blue grass band and a very smoothly run and on time event. 2 final 9's,,, 81 total holes and Barry was on the road by 5:00!

Thanks to all who came and hope to see more players next year! :cool:

Thanks to all of you who ran the event, you did a good job! I really stunk but had a good time. Playing a round with Sinclair was a real treat, he is an awsome example of sportsmanship. I also had a chance to play with an am from Bowling Green named Calvin Small. This kid is 16 years old and can really bomb it! Great attitude and really nice kid. Can't wait to see him develope, he's gonna be increadible someday. Thanks for coming Barry and congrats. Good job keeping it close Justin, Nikko, Boro. As the saying goes, "get'em next time." Way to pull it together at Souix in the second round Boro, that was no small task in 30 mph winds on that course! Awesome courses, very nice weather, aside from my play it was a very cool tourney, thanks for all of you who made it happen...

Good on ya!

Very nice tournament, well worth the drive. Mnay thanks to Chris & his family for sharing their home with so many traveling discers this weekend. I was very impressed withe the quality of the courses & what seems like a great relationship between your club & the county parks. I can only hope the relationship with my hometown club & the parks commision there can grow to a level similar to yours.

Again, great tourney & I look forward to coming back next year!

~Jesse

Well run tourney guys! Had lot's of fun and thanks for treating all players with dinner and beer Saturday night. Mike, again thanks paying out right after the last round. I got home before 8 last night which was nice because I'm not dragging my feet at work today. Dave, thanks for allowing us to stay at your home. Congrats again on running a great trourney!

AO even more amazing 180+ people w/these fricken gas prices. It goes to show you what a centralized midwest tourny can do even w/a FUed economy. Good luck in DM.

Peace,
RonSTL

The gas prices are going to be something we may have to accept. I don't like it at all and I'm hearing $4.00 a gallon this summer and up to $9-10 a gallon in 4-5 years. So I'm traveling while I can because I don't see traveling much at rates of $9-10 a gallon.

AO that would S!CK. Let hope not. Peace my friend and fellow DGer. See ya latest KC,NT. I am doing Tulsa and KC. My 16 anniv. is 5/23, my wife put the nix on DM. First time in 5 yrs. I and U can understand why.

Peace and all is good.

I am not sure why this is not the norm. We understand people have better things to do than hang out an extra 2 hours. (It was bad enough wating for the last masters card.)

Thanks for coming down.

I was impressed with the tourney. Very smooth and good players pack. I left an x-out Pro Line Leopard at S.P. name and number and lost a new x-out Pro Line Leopard on hole 17 and Endicott. The new x-out only has the letter M on the inner rim. If any finds them, I will give them a new disc in return. You can give them to Vaz if you find them. Thanks again. Scott
