Staff is reviewing my availability to perform at your event.

sponsorship money is rolling in and i haven't lifted a finger. gotta love it.

BIG GOLD DIVISION! NO AGE PROTECTION, NO ADVANCED DIVISION, ONE ENTRY FEE FITS ALL! $20 GOLD, SILVER, BRONZE!

bump!

course looks great. there will be some decent added cash for the gold division at a low price. i'm planning post tourney kegs for everyone of age.

Are you prepared for the media and public frenzy my appearance will cause?

we've acquired the appropriate # of of spot-a-pots.

If you need me to pose with fans etc. for photos or sign autographs I'll be available to do that during a 15 minute window during halftime.

the forecast has turned for the better.

That means shirtless and oiled up at halftime!

hey look! there's a c-tier in baltimore tomorrow.

no age protection. no advanced division. just the way god intended.

Sure if God believed in competition...unlike the Association.

what a day! the light rain stopped as registration began and the sun brought blue skies before the end of the first round. it turned out to be a warm and sunny november 8th. 73 players and numerous spectators,

we had a lot of generous sponsors. hopefully bradley will post a complete run down. but thanks to everyone who helped out for making this a fun tourney. scoring registration volunteers included joe k., hawk, rich, ski, badger, te, and the eventual gold division champ the otto who did most of the card counting at the half. i know i'm forgetting plenty, but thanks to everyone who made this tournament run easy and smooth.

badger ran ctps and a bag raffle. bradley won the basket on a dark CTP final. joel and bryan did am payouts from the DOF rig. thanks!

yes, will the otto bach won the gold division in a super nine playoff against kevin gleason from the eastern shore. he was awarded with the dumping of a tub of ice cold water from dub and i. priceless.

will's first pdga cash is an open win! gold had a good payout for only a $20 entry.

i'll post these scores to the pdga as soon as i'm able...

thanks to our generous sponsors, we were able to provide free post tourney refreshments, cover pdga fees, have bountiful ctps, am players packs, 100% am payout, give away a basket and a revolution dg bag, and provide a 135% payout to open with all divisions only paying $20 entries.

Looks like Maryland is the leader in bucking the divisional status quo (way to go Paul!!) Just goes to show that innovation by TD's, a quality venue, amenities, and affordable entry fees mean more to players than having their own "division". You just got to BELIEVE!!

Come on America! Learn from the Swedes!! Learn from Maryland!! Play together!!

are tournaments that have a significant number of players take cash for the first time considered "pro"creation?

high five, craig!
