Yep. The Fling has a title sponsor this year.

Sports City (http://www.sportscitytso.com/)

Very soon, you will be able to purchase one of 50 Supercolor Buzzzes with the art shown below. I will post here once these arrive. Get your $20 ready for these--they will move fast.

One other thing--registration is set to close at 90. If the event fills early and there is a long wait list, we will open up 3 additional holes to make it two rounds of 21 to allow a total of 105 players. Be sure to pre-register. I will not expand to 21 holes the day of the event. If it does not fill ahead of time, registration will cut off at 90 the day of the event.

PM me if you would like to register by cash or check and I can get the sign-up sheet to you.

Just to entice you a bit more to fill this event early, the three holes I plan on adding if necessary are from the extra loop we added on day 2 of last year's VPO.

Also, many thanks to Don O'Connell for helping with the line art for the tourney-stamped discs and for being the first to register!

The line art was just submitted to Discraft! Thank you Sports City!!!!!!!!!!!....and the ADGA.

Thank you also to My_Hero for getting the Discraft order in for the club.



Registration update: A sign-up sheet is now available at www.arlingtondiscgolf.com (http://www.arlingtondiscgolf.com) if you wish to pay by cash or check. You can see me at the Sunday minis or contact me with the info on the form if you want to send it by mail.

Another update and yet another perk of playing the Fling:

LUNCH WILL BE PROVIDED

Don Q. has secured 100 plates of food from Razzoo's to be served to the players and staff of the Fahrenheit Fling.

BIG THANKS to Razzoo's and Don Q. for helping out!

:p

Looks like i will be playing open in this one. :D:D

Crawl before you walk young one!

Thinking about heading up to this one. Never played a tourney in the DFW area so why not....Hopefully I'll be able to bring a few more from the area.

What kind of course in "the Vet"? Looks mostly open with some tight holes from the course tour?

This course offers a little bit of everything. Winding turns, open shots, long throws, and The Dave Covalt Moon shot. A favorite amongst the fairer sex. :cool:

Here's info on the Friday Doubles:

We'll do rolling starts beginning at 2:00 PM. As soon as 2 teams show up, I'll send you on your way. $30 per team for Open Divisions, $20 per team for Amateur divisions. Teams can start until 6:00 PM. You can either hang around for payout or collect the morning of the Fling.


Also, GET BUSY SIGNING UP. :D

Will there be a dunking booth with scantily clad TD's?

its a great course!!! you have to play smart golf to shoot well there! it can be a crazy round or it can play smooth....kinda depending on the wind. you will need to be able to throw some good control shots...but there are also some big boomers, so let 'em fly!!!

heck ya dude, bring donovan and cody, i had a blast with yall at COTO!

Thanks for the descriptions guys...I've heard a lot of good things about the course. Only thing I have played up that was is Z-boaz.

Powerofpancakes, I'm pretty sure Cody is coming, Patty(donavan) as we call him is waivering. At first he was going to come, but I think the wife may have stepped in. We'll see, I'm trying.

word

SuperColor discs are scheduled to arrive Thursday, July 3. I'll bring them out for the WOLFpack Friday morning to get first crack at them, and then I'll have them at the minis. $20 each. PM me if you want one but won't be able to make it before you think they will be gone (there are only 50!) and I can hold one out for you.

On July 12, 2008 the City of Crowley will be hosting their Celebration of Freedom event at Bicentennial Park. There will be lots of food vendors, kids rides, wrestling matches, bands playing all day, and of course a disc golf tournament. The city has also spent over $10,000.00 for the fireworks display for that night. They guarantee that it will be the best Fireworks dispaly in Tarrant County.

Our regularly scheduled Saturday mini will be moved back to 1:00 p.m. due to me having to be in the parade. The format for this mini will be flip doubles. We will play red, white and blue tees. The City of Crowley is going to offer $150.00 added cash for this event. The top three teams will get some of this cash. There will be an $8.00 entry fee as usual and we will be playing for the ace pot as well.

Inserts the funny/sweety/sanfran Grand Marshall pictures and quickly exits the thread...

can you say you tube :D

Techno Viking..... I can see brice doing that....

Anyone who wants to pay by cash or check can get the registration form from the Arlington Disc Golf (http://www.arlingtondiscgolf.com) web site, or you can see me at our Sunday minis and sign up in person.

When are we going to be able to see who is all sighed up.

I'm sigh-ing. :D

i'm thinking about sighing up...usually i sigh down...

Teagae, do you have a partner or are we going to have to take this one?

Thanks greg. :D:D:D:D

Wow!

Its looking like we might have a good open field this year. Who else is gona step up and test the waters?

I might test the water.

the water is poisoned, dang ol industrial revolution :mad:

Teagae, do you have a partner or are we going to have to take this one?



dang man, are you asking me to think ahead or somthin? :confused: :D

Hell no, there is not to be any thought involved. I was talking about this weekend in Crowley, but turns out it is a flip doubles so don't worry about it. Whoever is the lucky one is to be my partner.

plan to play this event. Possible to reserve 3 spots and pay Friday @ doubles ?

18 players signed up as of today. Sign up soon or you just might miss out!

is there going to be dubs on friday before the tourney?????

What do yall think a 1000 rated round will be.

Well it depends on the SSA of the layout and what everyone(the propagators) shoots. I'd be willing to bet that a 1000 rated round on the regular 18 is -2 to -3.

is there going to be dubs on friday before the tourney?????



Yes. Rolling starts from 2:00 to 6:00. $30 per team for open and $20 per team for amateur.

hey dalton you wanna partner up and play sum dubs on friday?????

and last year i shot -4 1st rd which was a 999 rd, and -5 was a 1009 rated rd!! i remember it to be in all of the long pins except for #8 .

It will vary depending on the conditions and what the propagators shoot.

whats a propagator??? where im from in the south...its usually an alligator in a tuxedo....so how does that relate to dg????

LOL.

Your rating for each round is based on how well you shoot relative to a scratch player who is defined as someone with a rating of 1000. The Ratings Committee can calculate your rating even if there are no 1000 rated players playing that round. In fact all that is needed are 5 players with ratings over 799 playing the same course whose rating is based on at least 8 rounds of information. These players are called "propagators."

well there werent any 1000 rated players but a few 990's so were they the proper-gators????

and are you playin this year???

im debating on playin pro again this year!! i want to play a little more advanced tourneys to get my self-esteem back up, what do you think???

your self-esteem shouldnt be affected by your golf game in the least, but your confidence, thats another thing ;)

hey dalton you wanna partner up and play sum dubs on friday?????




I dont know.My dad and me mabey hooking up.

All players who have at least 8 rated rounds and are 799 or higher are considered a propagator. You were even a prop last year.

You're a good looking guy, shouldn't have any self esteem problems. Besides, C-tiers (cheap entry fees) are when the up and comers SHOULD be testing the pro waters. The way the rules are written you can accept cash and still play ADV in bigger tiered tournaments so long as your rating doesn't get above (something like) 970.

Don't worry about what i'm doing. Worry about the 1 shot in front of you. Not the shots in the past, not the holes in the future. Take it 1 shot at a time and you'll do just fine.

Remember what i told you on #5's tee a year or more ago; this game is a game of probability. Throw shots that are more probable to go your way than not. When the basket is down to your left why throw a flippy roc off of the elevated tee pad when you can throw an overstable crow/drone....or even a predator that is 99% of the time going to fall towards the basket. :D

Keep giving away all your secrets, John, and pretty soon we'll have guys all over the place that aren't rated 1000. :D

With some help from Chris Flesner, our Competition Director, we have decided on the layout for both rounds of the Fling.

All Divisions will play from the concrete tees in the first round.

For the second round, Intermediate and Recreational divisions will play from the concrete tees again. Open and Advanced divisions will play from the concrete tees with the exception of Championship 1, 13, 17, and 18. IF we have spotters available, we will also play Championship 8.


All baskets will be in the long positions except the following:
4 (1st round only)
12
13 (first round only)
14
18 (first round only)..

Were will 18 be.Will it be at the top of the hill or the middle.

Were will 18 be.Will it be at the top of the hill or the middle.




1st round - regular short position (top of hill)
2nd round - long (near the sidewalk)

We won't be using the middle placement.

Flippy ROC? :)

John - you should make the ROC VS BUZZ Challenge in OKC

Flippy ROC? :)

John - you should make the ROC VS BUZZ Challenge in OKC



Can't remember what event it was, maybe club championships, but Phillip threw a flippy Roc off of #5 and it ended up waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the trees near #7's tee. He made a great 5 from there but with the level of players that play Vets you can't afford to give away 2-3 strokes on 1 hole.....ever!

I would LOVE to play the Roc vs. Buzzzz challenge but until these kids are older you won't see me traveling very far. I wonder what Discraft would say about that anyway? :D

The buzzz would win.

Keep giving away all your secrets, John, and pretty soon we'll have guys all over the place that aren't rated 1000. :D


preach it, brotha maxwell! :D

In my defense, i was 1000 rated when i instructed Phillip. How many of EWES guys have seen the 4 digit rating? :p :D

I will have to keep all of that in mind! i think im going to copy/paste it to word and print that out and keep that in my bag for future reference!!!!!

Anyone want to play some dubs on friday?

In my defense, i was 1000 rated when i instructed Phillip. How many of EWES guys have seen the 4 digit rating? :p :D



I have!!!!!!!!!! :D
Only 1000 rated player in Texas who isn't sponsored :confused:

Yea, you were screwed when keith left Discraft. All of your stuff was on his desk ready for you to sign. :confused:

In my defense, i was 1000 rated when i instructed Phillip. How many of EWES guys have seen the 4 digit rating? :p :D



I was just playing on your credo ( no longer a 1000 rated player ). You're the one putting it out there, John. There's no doubt in the minds of anyone of us ( your good friends ) that you're one of the best. You're just a better Dad and that has it's price. You should be commended for your choices.
You'll be back one day I'm sure.
In the meantime you're just another homie and subject to our sharp witicisms and ridicule. Love you man.

Received the line art discs today from Discaft. They look/feel sweet!

i want 10 :)

We had a good work day this morning with about 15 people participating. We did alot of work on 18's fairway hauling in mulch and wood and securing the erosion near the basket. Also we cleared champ 8 tee and strengthened the sleeve for champ 7. Another team went to every tee box and swept it and replaced any bricks out of place. All in all it was a very productive day. Looking forward to next weekend. :D

I cannot express enough gratitude for everything you guys did this morning. I had a plumbing fiasco occur at 5:00am and I could not get away to be there, and for that I truly apologize. I owe each of you guys big-time.

Im looking forward to the tournament. This will be my first foray into the advanced division since my game has improved. Hopefully I won't dissapoint myself and my mentor.

We are officially at the halfway mark of filling this event!

Where do the championship 1, 13, 17, and 18 holes play from? I'm guessing they will all be going to the long pins.

Yes to the long pins, but only the Adv and Open divisions will be playing the champion tees.

I was just wondering where the champ tees will be at. I haven't had the chance to play them in that format yet. I assume that the pins will be in the long position but where are the teepads for those holes?

They are all essentially moved straight back from the concrete tees. I'll be out there Friday morning marking the Championship tees.

Where do the championship 1, 13, 17, and 18 holes play from? I'm guessing they will all be going to the long pins.



one is on the sidewalk to the left of the shade tree that is behind the regular teepad

13 is next to the shade tree that is behind 12's long bucket

17 is next to a tree that is sort of between 15's teepad and the pavilion


18 is the dirt right behind the sidewalk that leads to hole 8, so if you are walking from 17 to 18 you would walk down the sidewalk to the bridge, well the champ tee is on the left side of the sidewalk before you get to the bridge, essentially right behind, a long ways behind the regular tee pad.

looking forward to seeing you out there

Where are the tees for people that feel like they are senior citizens?

come out on wed and i will show you :D

HEY GREG! sign me up i will pay on friday at dubs!!! just save me a spot! if i need to meet you somewhere this week to give you cash just let me know!!!

Same for you, Phillip.

This puts us around 55 entries right now.

Just trying to enrich everyone's day sir. Commonly, people will use the word "epitome" in the wrong sense. Contrary to popular belief, it does not mean "to exemplify or be the best of" anything;

epitome: a typical or ideal example

In this sense, what I was trying to convey was the fact that though Mr. My-sear-o at one time was the "typical" golfer, he is no longer even that. Probably on the same level with other past typical golfers, such as Mr. Bacon, or Brandon, the gentelman that attacked Hamster-o with the bat when he took off with a basket that was not his for the taking.

:cool:

thanks greg!!!

A "typical" golfer who shares "typical" pictures with his friends. :D

Is there much water at this course? Wondering how light I can pack my bag for the weekend....

Can't wait, come on friday!!

Oh, I was also wondering if there is a brewery somewhere close to the area?

The only brewery I can think of is in Fort Worth and it isn't that good. There are a couple of good bars in the area that offer some microbrews though.

If you can drive 20 min I would go to the Flying Saucer down town fort worth. I think the have over 300 beers to choose from, with a good portion of them being on tap.

right above the Bass Pro Shops there is a good restaurant and microbrewery called "Big Bucks".

charles cox and i own a bar really close to the course, its called the south parking lot, check it out!

I've been to Big Bucks, it's been a while...but it was pretty good. I'll go back if that's the best one, was just looking for a different one if I could find one. Anyone ever been to a place called Humperdink's/Big Horn Brewery? Says it's in Arlington...


charles cox and i own a bar really close to the course, its called the south parking lot, check it out!




:DI'd like to hit it up maybe twice, is this bar open during lunch and after the rounds? ;)

you know it ;)

C'mon Friday.Hey Jason anyword on a ride yet.Just need to know if i need to get my truck ready!!

Humperdink's has locations all over DFW, but not all have the microbrews. Call ahead to be sure. If they do... the Big Horn is a good micro. At least as good as any "microbrew" / local chain can be :)

I may be having some second thoughts on expanding, simply for safety's sake. Saturday is looking to help this event truly live up to its name, and an extra 6 holes in that heat may not be the best of ideas. I'd like some feedback from you guys before I make the final decision.

I could maybe justify one or possibly two ghost cards.

Can we hold the FF @ Wet n' Wild?

42 holes from the concrete and championship pads in the heat is too much. Especially since the senior citizen layout won't be used.

I'll be there regardless, but don't get mad at me when it takes 10 men and 10 horses to carry my jiggly as[/b]s off when i collapse. :D

We had a guy go down at an event out here in West Texas....looked about like the guy in the bottom picture, but instead of using cool towels to cool him off, they dumped a full cooler of ice and water on him, basically sent him into shock. But we had played 54 holes the day before and another 27 sunday in 100+temps. (81 hole tourney in Big Spring)..Scary stuff, he had to spend the night in the hospital from it.

What is the cut off number? I wont know what kind of shape I am in for atleast a couple more days.



Welcome back Miles!!! Sounds like the trip was a good one.

Last I heard the cut off is 90.



If it fills before Friday, I'll expand it to 105.




I may be having some second thoughts on expanding, simply for safety's sake. Saturday is looking to help this event truly live up to its name, and an extra 6 holes in that heat may not be the best of ideas. I'd like some feedback from you guys before I make the final decision.

I could maybe justify one or possibly two ghost cards.



Kelly Park



You bringing 18 baskets, setting them up, and taking them down afterward? :D

We only have food guaranteed for 100 from Razzoo's, so that is where I am setting the cap. No extra holes, but two ghost cards if needed.

I was thinking object golf :DHas anyone thought about this for the VPO?

How can I sign up? I see the form, but won't be out that way before the tourney? Any online sign-ups? I am not real connected in the Dallas DG scene yet.

Kelly Park



The 1996 VPO was held on two courses, Veteran's and Kelly Park. :p

We are not either :p Title disc has online sign up for this tourney :D

cool, i have used them before, thanks!

Contrary to statements made by my business partner, Co-Eague's Bar and Lounge is only open on Wednesday nights and Sunday afternoons. :cool:

[/QUOTE]

Hmmm - I could have sworn I have seen a traveling version of this here Co-Eague's Bar on Tuesday nights and on some Saturday afternoons. Mabey it was a mirage of some sort or even a traveling medicine man show like the one in the wizard of oz. :D

Only 21 spots left (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=7900)

My outfit? Isn't this a great example of the pot calling the kettle black.

Let's not forget your outfit. Shall we?

Nice, thats has to be one of the funniest things I have ever seen, Long live King Charles the MMXXIII

As one who was a Paramedic for 5 years, let me tell you all what you should or at least may know already.
Taking in plenty of fluids during the round IS NOT ENOUGH! You must hydrate prior to exposing yourself to possible dehydration!! If you don't get plenty of fluids in your system early by the time you realize your dehydrating it is usually TOO LATE!
The more you sweat the more fluid you need to take in. If you stop sweating your in deep trouble friend.
Just a bit of friendly advice hopefully taken in the spirit in which it was meant. No one wants to see anyone go down.
Lets all have fun and be safe.
Good luck and see you all Saturday.

At least it's only one day now, the first 2 years of this event was like playing in a convection oven.

Just signed up. Hope I am ready by then!

Miles, you got in just under the wire.


85 players registered (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=7900)

I also want to give a HUGE thanks to all you for pre-registering. Doing so will help us make sure we get started on time and can get out of the park and home at a reasonable hour.

This is my first PDGA event to run, so forgive me for any glitches in the process. I'll do my best to make sure everything is run as smoothly as possible. In return, all I ask is that everyone be on their best behavior. PDGA Rule 804.05 A(4) will be strictly enforced. We do NOT have an alcohol permit for this event, so in between rounds, you need to keep your beers out of the pavilion.

when i pass out Matt, can you give me an iv, better yet, can i get one before the round starts :D

Hey Greg ~ Titledisc is not accepting entries any longer. Can you put me down for one of the last 5 spots? Fills at 90 right?

Thanks
Matt Dumke
pdga 33555

Well, no Patty or Cody...but I did get Brandn finally talked into coming. So that makes 5 of us from San Angelo heading that way. Thought we were going to have one "old guy"(grandmaster) coming also, but titledisc says no more spots and I dont' see Carl's name....so I guess he isn't going to make it.

Can't wait for this weekend....come on friday!!!

Bring the old greezer along! haven't talked/seen Carl in some time. :cool:

Hey, Why isn't O'Connell playing ADV MSTRs? Don't tell me he's scared of Cox and Brumit on their home course? We know he owns them away from their home.

In his defense though, it is best to test the pro waters in b and c tier events. That way when you get your butt handed to you it wasn't too costly. :D

My goal starting with the PIO was to play Masters at all one day events this year to do as you say, "test the waters." And I think I've held my own. Actually finished higher than I did when I started as a Rec/Int last year. :eek:

But if we don't get anymore players then I'm going to have to let Rob duke it out with the big boys and I'll play Adv. Masters. :D

THE TOURNAMENT IS OFFICIALLY FULL.

I have 100 entries. Any other inquiries will go on the waiting list in the order I receive them. Thanks to everyone for signing up early!

yay!!! pudding for everyone!!!!!!!! :D :) :cool::D

Bring the old greezer along! haven't talked/seen Carl in some time. :cool:



Well I just talked to Carl, said he called and they let him in. Told him you were asking about him...said he can't wait to beat you. :eek:..no just kidding ;). Said he can't wait to see you guys up there. Should be a fun weekend!!

thanks for not putting us through the 21 hole layout!!!!
i love that course but seriously 42 holes at 100+ isnt fun at all!

hey greg should i pay teague tonight or should i wait to pay you on friday???????

hey greg should i pay teague tonight or should i wait to pay you on friday???????



I'll be there tonight. You can pay me before the mini.

But if we don't get anymore players then I'm going to have to let Rob duke it out with the big boys and I'll play Adv. Masters. :D



Why dont yuo "duke it out" with the big boys? You are more then able. Could be fun!

You bring up a good point. I'll be thinking about it.

who has predictions, i say Miles, Pepper and Cfles in the top 3, with Brownlow as a possible spoiler.

Charles (c3) will defeat Don O by half a keystone and Stacia and Misty will get the most spectators ;)

Ya MyHero sucks. I don't think he has a chance to be in the top four. :confused:

teague you are forgetting mr. LONGER-THAN-YOURS-BONE!
i will say my moneys on MY-HERO!!
but you never know miles pepper fles or blongerbone all have
it in them to win!!! i am sure it will be fun to watch

blongerbone who? and hero will catch a mighty rash and have to 4fit :D:p

While i admit that i'm only conditioned for 18 holes every 3 days, i'll gladly take the dark horse spot. This old, 5x club champ, still has a few tricks for you young whippoorwills. :cool:

I think my hero will win.or pepper.or miles.or fles.And i think teague will pass out.

Teague will definitely drink more beers than birdies carded. :D

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:;) ;)

Teague will definitely drink more beers than birdies carded. :D


there's a proportional correlation between the two, although I'm not sure if it's direct or inverse :)

Glad to hear that he is coming up here....I don't think that he has played the Vet in about 50 years!! :D

Teague will definitely drink more beers than birdies carded. :D



36 holes, hmmmm, so the goal should be one to one, 15 birdies and 15 keystones, i could live with dat!!!! :p

Don't forget that you've only carded 6 birdies to my 13 in the last 2 minis. What are you going to do? Go on a birdie hunt?

by the power of keystone, i will slay you /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :p

Glad to hear that he is coming up here....I don't think that he has played the Vet in about 50 years!! :D



He hasn't, but to hear him talk it was last week... :confused: he's still the same old Carl :p

Hey Jason, how about Andy taking 3rd in the Alaskan State DG Championships. He said it was the hardest course he had ever played. It must be nice to play DG in 50 degree weather this time of year. It's only going to be double that this weekend. My buddy is a brewer at Humperdinks in Arlington by the ballpark, he says he has a new Scotch ale on tap that he brewed. I tried it and it is a good one. He also just replaced guiness with a porter/stout that gives guiness a run for the money. Try them out if you get a chance.

Rumor has it we are going to 21 holes and will have an even more competitive open division. :p

I'll take My Hero to win this one. :D;)

Make that 110 (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=7900)


And with that, we are capped. 21 holes, 1 ghost card, 110 players.

If you are on the waiting list and haven't heard from me, I still have your info. If anything opens up, you will get a call.

when i pass out Matt, can you give me an iv, better yet, can i get one before the round starts :D



David, I wish on many occasion that I still had a supply of IV fluid like in the old days

To my knowledge however Keystone still does not come in 1 liter IV bags

Goodie! Beating Nolan and JD will look WAY better then beating My_Hero! :D

I haven't heard that, that's kick [censored]...Andy's a good guy, and fun to play with. Can't wait to ask him about it at the Ice Bowl at the Brewery in Eola, you should come down for that. It'll be a 2 disc challenge, on a short, but fun course with 2 holes by the door for refills :D It will be 50 degrees for that probably....maybe..... maybe not...

Anyway, thanks for the info on Humperdinks, looks like that is the place we will go to Saturday night, wanna come?

i dont think the people who got in on the wait list should be partaking in the Razoos lunch, let them eat cake!

wow ...NOLAN, JD, MY-HERO, FLES, MILES, BLONGERBONE, CLAYTON, AND PEPPER?!!!!!!!
now thats a nice open division!!!!! all of yall testing the waters this year have fun!!! you normally wouldnt most of the best in tx all playing a 1 day c-tier!! this should be a great event!!!

wow ...NOLAN, JD, MY-HERO, FLES, MILES, BLONGERBONE, CLAYTON, AND PEPPER?!!!!!!!




chumps :p

Chuckles, What happened to My_Fiero?

http://www.fierofarm.com/images/crash.jpg

So where will the extra holes be for this 21 hole event? Similar to some for past VPO's?

that was my-fiero :D

12 different cities in the Open div.!

Pretty cool!

looking forward to a course I've heard a lot about

Stay hydrated - I had a scare in Waco you want nothing to do with!

Glass trophies are etched and ready to go

So where will the extra holes be for this 21 hole event? Similar to some for past VPO's?



If you are familiar with the "old course" it will be Old 1, Old 2, and Old 9. If you are not familiar with these, it is a loop of three holes following hole 17 on the other side of the sidewalk, going up toward the restrooms and back down.

wow ...NOLAN, JD, MY-HERO, FLES, MILES, BLONGERBONE, CLAYTON, AND PEPPER?!!!!!!!
now thats a nice open division!!!!! all of yall testing the waters this year have fun!!! you normally wouldnt most of the best in tx all playing a 1 day c-tier!! this should be a great event!!!



I believe this will be the first time I play Masters. :DAnd I'm not Kidding. :o:o;) :D

You better be kidding. You play the long course too well to beat up on the old men like that!

Glass trophies are etched and ready to go



That's what I was going to ask you at Crowley, why no etched glass trophies for your tournament?

I'm serious!!! Why not? I shoot 2 down to 4 up out there. Plus Look at the Pro Field. I believe I am not skirt'n anything. :) :o:D;)

I will play Masters for those type of Gifts :D

Wow. Two days ago it was 90 players and 18 holes, now it's 110 and 21 holes. I don't have computer access at work. So, would somebody please call me if either of those two numbers goes up. Don't get me wrong, I can battle the heat and the long rounds but this is beginning to feel like playing a whole weekends worth of golf in 1 day.


http://www.huffingtonpost.com/theblog/archive/toht.jpg

PS: This was me after last years PIASO

We do live in Texas. How about those coming from out of state.

True. I just know that all day in this heat is about my limit. If it had been a two day I wouldn't have played for the simple fact i probably would have left the course in an ambulance. As it was, I battled severe dehydration for three days after this year's PIASO. Ask longerbone about how well I do in the heat. He had to watch me puke all over the Pizza Hut bathroom in Shreveport a couple of years ago! As it is, I'll be playin. I just wanted a heads up early, so if I didn't play it would be that much easier to fill the spot.
On to better things. I didn't see anyones predictions for ADV but,I think Dalton has a real good chance for two wins in a row. That being said, I now know how it feels to have someone half your age beat the snot out of you. OMBs got it easy! lol

Hey!! The San Angelo guys are coming out.

I like those guys...

We're trying to spread our wings a little....Most of us haven't played in any DFW area events. So we figured why not this one....Patty(donavan) was suppose to be coming, but his wife planned a family camping trip....so he's out on this one.

Hear ye, Hear Ye! The time is neigh and the heat is waiting for you. I beseech all those within eye shot of this post, come on out today and do your dasterdly deeds under the Friday afternoon sun. Let's show Doc B why he'll never run another sactioned event again. Let us all, to the man (and woman) show up and play doubles today. I assure you that most will want to kick him in his Guinea nads Saturday, when the battle has ended, but will not be able to muster the strength. So come out today, starting at 1600, get your doubles round in. Once the battle has ended and we all have the ability to draw breath, let us all gather around him and pummel his family jewls like Gerry Cooney. Looking forward to seeing all the faithful at the Vet today with their boxing gloves.

drink water, start right now, drink more water, saturday drink gatorade, and then more gatorade

as they say in basic training, BEAT THE HEAT! DRINK WATER!

Man, I keep seeing all these post about the heat...and how hot it's going to be, and all this stuff. Is it really that bad? I mean is it just that there is no shade on the course? It seems to always be 100 degrees out here in West Texas during a tourney. In Big Springs we play 2 of 27 in 100 degrees, then another 27 on sunday....Abilene is 100+ normally...Heck even our biggest singles event here in San Angelo(the crush..plug...plug :p) in March sometimes gets that hot(normally it's more like high 80s though)...it has been 50 before though :confused:

I guess what I am asking is....are you guys putting heaters around the course or what? This is just a normal Texas summer day right..... :D


Day of...can't wait to get out of work and on the road!!! We're 4hrs away!!!

Is there any reason for us to check in today? We probably won't get there till 8ish.

west texas doesn't have the humidity that we have here. 100 degrees in Arlington and 100 degrees in San Angelo are very different things. It's really not going to be insufferable, but you will need to prepare yourself. Like Fah-Teague says, hydrate yourself!

I would recomend frezing some water the night before so you arn't drinking hot water all day. This really made a difference for me in Crowley since you can't count on the water jugs to be full when you get to them.

We will have at least 5 water jugs out on the course Saturday, possibly 8. I will also have 80 bottles of Powerade and 100 bottles of water available for $1 each at the pavilion so you can hydrate before hole 1 and hole 5.

I have at least 5 water jugs that we can use if you need them.

70% tomorrow

yeah 40% is a low day for most of the summer. And yes, Houston is more humid, but I was trying to prepare him for the difference.

Average relative humidity for DFW is historically higher than San Angelo's. It's something to be aware of. If this weekend is supposed to be near 70% humidity, the heat index will be much higher than it normally is in West Texas at the same temperature.

humidity tomorrow is supposed to be around 40-45%...if the air temp was 95F and the humidity was 70%, the heat index would be 120+F and we'd all be dead by lunch...the max heat index tomorrow is supposed to be less than 100 so it shouldn't be too bad.

however, for some reason the vet ALWAYS seems alot hotter than anywhere else...maybe it's all the rock on those hills that absorb the heat, but even when it's in the 70's you can feel the heat out there.

disclaimer: i failed thermodynamics...got a B the 2nd time though

Humidity can start out at about 70% in the morning. But once the sun comes up and the air heats up the humidity will drop. At the worst of it you can expect about 40%-46% humidity on typical days. Get a small shower and that all goes out the window.

And what Brian said since he was quicker with the submit button than I was. :)

Given your forecast, the chart a few posts above reads a heat index of 110*-115* if it's 100* with 45% humidity.

100 deg at 70% humidity is a heat index of 144, red - heat stroke likely with prolonged exposure :cool:we should call it the heat index fling not the Fahrenheit Fling :D

the high is supposed to be 96 or 97, and at that time the humidity will be down to 30% or so...which leaves the heat index almost identical to the air temp...so the heat index is supposed to stay below 100 all day...there is an inverse relationship between air temp and relative humidity...when the temp rises the humidity must go down.

The "THI Fling"; classic! Of course some people would argue that THI was the misspelled version of THC. I just hope everyone knows that this is a pdga event and that T stuff is illegal so don't even try it! Just grab a Keystone or 12 and you'll be alright.

Mr. Covalt has requested I repsond to all this heat talk. For those willing to acknowledge his greatness, he will pray for your personal coolness tomorrow. :cool:

the average relative humidity for DFW in the afternoon in July is 52%, according to the NOAA. Since teague said 70% in the morning I (without looking it up to be sure) assumed that 45+ was viable for the afternoon.

I'm just trying to prepare a west texas type for the steam we have in DFW :)

Mr. Covalt has also given me authorization to share with the masses what the fashionable golfer (himself of course) will be wearing tomorrow:
