The 2009 PDGA National Tour makes its fourth stop in beautiful Pawhuska, Oklahoma at �The Lodge� on April 25th & 26th. The Green Country Open is presented by Twisted Flyer.com , powered by Innova Champion Discs and hosted by the Tulsa Disc Sports Association. This event will be co-directed by Joe Rotan, Oklahoma State Coordinator and veteran Tournament Director and Michael Treat whom has been a major influence in the Tulsa Disc Sports Association. Both of these men have been at the helm of large tournaments and are both administrators in the TDSA, the club that brought you 2006 Am Worlds.

The ranch is owned by Jim and Debbie Taylor who are both cordial and accommodating hosts. The property features two courses designed by veteran Tour Pro Kevin McCoy and are set in the hills of Osage Indian country and feature many awesome views and challenging shots. There are many elevation changes and varied terrain to consider when playing the courses. Errant shots are punished so bring your �A� game and get ready for a great time in a beautiful slice of the American heartland at a fantastic private Disc Golf getaway!

We are pleased to announce that Kevin McCoy and Courtney Peavy will be married on the green of the Island hole Thursday evening at Sunset. The ceremony will be officiated by none other than Jay Reading.

There will be more than enough to keep you busy as the TD�s have some great events and activities planned. Area legend Jeff Ash will join forces with VictoryFireworksInc.com for numerous displays over the weekend. There will also be a Big Money Doubles presented by the Tulsa Disc Sports Association on Friday, with the qualifying round on Thursday. This will be a great opportunity to check out the two tracks. The Innova Groove Party will be held in the Bar and Grill which is also where professional chef Jeremy Taylor will be satisfying the Tour�s culinary needs. There will be live entertainment on the Bar & Grill stage and there is a casino about 10 miles down the road as well.

This event is powered by Innova Champion Discs. The Green Country Open will debut new and exciting products from Innova. From the new environmentally friendly tee signs to the soon to be hottest disc on Earth, the Eco Star Groove. A limited number of these discs will be released with the official tournament stamp designed by Skeet Scienski. Discs will be available at TwistedFlyer.com.

For those who aren�t able to make it, but still want to check out this great course, the Lodge will provide a live Webcast of the event which will provide a great opportunity for the folks back home to monitor the tournament progress.

The host hotel will be the La Quinta Inn in nearby Bartlesville, Oklahoma which is a short 40 minute drive from the course. This hotel features an indoor pool, free high-speed internet, continental breakfast, and a fitness center. We have secured a special rate of $60.00 per night.

For further payment options or questions about the Groove, please email PoweredByInnova@cox.net

Andrew / Michael Treat a.k.a Team T-N-T will have the ECO STAR GROOVE and other exciting models in Tulsa this weekend. If you live in Tulsa please purchase yours from them and save shipping and state taxes.

Also... never one to preach or steer anyone...

If you need a disc over the next 2 months please try to purchase it from Green Country Open stock or hosts. In these economic times sponsorship is VERY HARD to get. The proceeds from your disc purchases make up for what sponsors have tightened the belt on. Your support of the very attractive, quality, well priced discs will help ensure our traveling friends leave TULSA... AMAZED as always.

Joe

These new grooves are sweet! I know they are a fundraiser for the NT event, but if you are debating on getting one due to the cost, you may want to reconsider. 1st, I have it from a very reliable source that in the last three days since they were put up for sale, they have flown out the door and continue to go fast. There were only 500 to start with and that number is going down about as fast as this disc is. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

So if you were thinking about waiting until they go into general production, you may be waiting until the summer sometime. :o

Get-em while you can!

I have thrown the test models and they are like a super fast straight to long turn over. I compare it to being a Roadrunner or Sidewinder on steroids.

Are Michael and Andrew running a mini this weekend in Tulsa or are they heading to The Lodge on Saturday for the mini up there?

I think it flys like my old CE TeeBird, but with a motor on it. I threw one 310 feet FLAT FOOTED (if you know me I can only throw 350 back handed. Dave is right, these are SWEET! And going fast.

Not sure SkinZ 'bout the Treaters...

Neither are the Treaters....

Hey Opie, I could use a good caddy if you want to go to Texas today. :D

Hey Opie, I could use a good caddy if you want to go to Texas today. :D



Andrew, before you go to TX to be Wise's caddy... ... /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif... ...sell me an Eco Star Groove!

Somewhere in the 168-172 range...if that is possible...I know the 172 is possible...

Nope, no caddying for me today.

And I can probably hook up with you tomorrow George.

Are you and your Dad heading to the mini at The Lodge this Saturday? I have a few things to get done this Saturday, so the mini at The Lodge is iffy for me...can we meet somewhere in town if I don't have the extra time for the mini?

I have also sent you an email to your cox.net addy (and your Dad's) if you prefer to talk that way...

Got my 2 star echo grooves in less than 24 hours after ordering Thursday. Great Job Joe and the Twisted crew. These discs look amazing and I love the way they throw. Keep up the great work.

Nope, no caddying for me today.

And I can probably hook up with you tomorrow George.


The people want to know where the Treats will be so we can get some grooves.

So is it the lodge or will you be around Tulsa?

This money in my pocket is starting to burn a hole.

Thank you and thanks for supporting the Green Country Open! I LOVE the ECO STAR Groove... and I'm not saying that because they paid me to! A FAST DISC!

Penny and I did some testing of the Eco Grooves up here at the lodge today....results were pleasing. My 173 is flying very straight, very fast, and Joe is right the actual groove on the bottom of the disc seems to make them finish straighter.

Just booked our first RV spot to Bill "Old Man" Wallace. Spots with full hookups remaining (4). If you need one or know someone who does, have them get with us.

When we told them about it at the USDGC they were on it! It will be good to have the young'ns back in Oklahoma.

I am sensing that this is a revered couple who have paid their dues and deserve the royal treatment, right?

JT,
They are a wealth of knowledge. Remember or look up USWDCG for the last few years other than 2008. That is when the torched was passed.

Peace

We will take good care of these wonderful people. I just decided to comp their entire stay. It's kinda nice when something you have supported for so long gives a little something back. :cool:

Joe,
Is this tourney for Pro's only?

the nt tourny is for the pros
2 weeks earlier is the atier for those of us that want to expierience the great tracks at the lodge

Brad is right. The Am event has been upgraded to an A Tier for Am's and a C Tier for Pro's who want to come out and practice the tracks. The official NT Course will be lined out a few days before big money doubles.

It has also been confirmed that once again Sally Majestic will be on stage in the Lodge at the Innova Groove Party.

Current added cash is sitting at $5000.00 if you are interested in sponsoring a hole or a course please let me know.

Any damage at the Lodge from last nights storms???

I talked to Jeremy earlier...they said they didn't have any major damage. He said they had some golf ball sized hail that knocked some limbs down.

I'm in the kansas city airport waiting for my plane to arrive. Been sitting in the same seat for over 3 hours now.

Ready to get back home to T-town.

We had another great meeting this weekend at the Lodge. The NT group reviewed work in progress and ongoing needs. The Taylors and the Bartons have been doing some great work out at the Lodge. The Lodge exterior is now painted, the new holes have been cut in and tee pads will be done on the Island course by the first week of March. We also filmed a few more commercials, I can't wait to see Bobby's latest work. All in all it is shaping up to be SWEET.

THERE ARE LESS THAN 40 ORANGE ECO STAR GROOVES LEFT!!!

Live in Oklahoma for 30+ years and never had a tornado hit within 20 miles of me and we live in Georgia for 1 year and miss one by a block and a half....go figure!

It was a little one but the locals are freaking out around here :D

DId you show them how to run outside and watch it, like they do here? :D

Dave, that was in the old days.

Nowdays we grab a sixpack and a couple of buddies and get in the car and chase them down ;).

Yee Haw
did that in a VW bug once but got too close and had to quit for health reasons.

TFS,
that first picture is bad.

Peace

We got EF2'd, we were watching American Idol so we saw the little radar box in the corner of the screen, and we knew we were under a Tornado Warning but no sirens what so ever.

I'm the kind of guy that wants to go out and see it, but it was dark. So when we actually heard the noise of the wind plus just a very slight shake of the house, my hair on my neck was tingling .....YIKES!

We live 3 miles from my future inlaws and it went between our houses. It was on the ground for 5 miles. :o


I mos def got that OH $h!t feeling for a sec. :D

The Lodge Report.
Just got off the phone with a local cable TV company out of Bartlesville. They will be here next sunday to do interviews and shoot some video for an upcoming program, probably to be aired first part of April but well before the NT. I would like to encourage everyone to show up next sunday so we can have a really good turnout for these people. Also, we leave for Chicago on the 10th to meet with the ESPN people so keep us in your prayers. :D

Jim,



Here is the announcement � see attached Word document, as well as text below.



Give us a call or email if you have any more questions or other information.



BTW� we�re meeting with Bobby tomorrow for lunch and to discuss how we can work with him.



Sharon & Joel



************************************ START ANNOUNCEMENT ***************************************





Hosts from TV Show �Live . . . from Bartlesville�

Will Be Interviewing Disc Golf Players and Club Members

Visiting the Lodge at Taylor Ranch - - March 7th and 8th, 2009



Co-hosts Sharon Hurst and Joel Rabin, from the TV variety show �Live . . . from Bartlesville�, will be conducting video interviews with Club members and Disc Golf players visiting the Lodge at Taylor Ranch this coming Saturday and Sunday, March 7th and 8th.



Sharon and Joel recently visited with Jim Taylor at his Lodge . . . along with a discourse from Jim on the sport of Disc Golf . . . and got a teeth-jarring Jeep tour of both tournament quality 18-hole courses that are being rapidly developed at the Lodge. Aside from having their brains flattened by hitting their heads on Jim�s bouncing Wrangler Jeep, they also left the Lodge with a great interest and desire to help promote the sport.



Sharon and Joel will conduct interviews and videotape action shots of everyone at work and at play during the weekend, with the intent of developing several segments for their upcoming TV Shows about the sport of Disc Golf, its players, upcoming national tournaments and the Lodge at Taylor Ranch. They will also offer their video interviews and TV segments to the Lodge for promotional, marketing and advertising purposes.



�Live� from Bartlesville� is shown every Thursday evening from 7:00 to 7:30 pm on Tri-City TV�s cable station 59, serving the Bartlesville, Dewey and Nowata area of northeast Oklahoma. Their TV show can also be seen on Tri-City TV�s Internet site: www.tri-citytv.net. (http://www.tri-citytv.net.) All shows are available �On Demand� 24/7 at the site. Registering for site access is free - and be sure to log-in each time you go there.



The video interviews with various people on Saturday (a �work day�) and Sunday (a �play day�) will be relatively short and run about 1 to 2 minutes each. The interviews will cover a variety of topics that will be of interest to both the general public and Disc Golf fans. Sharon and Joel plan to ask those of you willing to participate to talk about two or three of the following topics (don�t worry . . . no one will be asked to respond to all of these):

1. The history of the Disc Golf sport.

2. How and why did you first became involved in the sport?

3. What do you enjoy most about the sport?

4. Do you have some personal stories about your involvement in the sport? The funniest? The scariest? The most heart-warming?

5. What about the overall design ands special features of the Lodge�s two new 18-hole courses? And how about the experience of actually playing on them?

6. What do you think about Kevin McCoy, the designer of the Lodge�s two courses? And what about his upcoming wedding at the lodge next month?

7. What about the upcoming national Disc Golf tournament here at Jim Taylor�s Lodge on April 25th and 26th? Do you plan to participate or come to watch?

8. Have you been to Jim Taylor�s Lodge before? If yes, why? To play golf? What else?

9. What do you think about the Lodge facilities and all of the different activities that are offered here to families and individuals?



************************************ END ANNOUNCEMENT ***************************************





Sharon M Hurst

What time should I plan on arriving Saturday?

We need to know how many guys can work on Friday to pour concrete. I know plenty of you can work on Saturday and Sunday and you are needed but the problem is, we can't get a concrete truck on the weekends. Firday will be the best days to pour. Not sure if they all can be done this Friday or not but its a start and we should be able to finish all of them in two days of pouring.

If you can be at the Lodge on Friday, please either post your name here or give me a call. 918-232-8562

Thanks

We will begin pouring concrete at 11:00. If you can be there earlier it would be great. Wagel will be there heading up things in the morning, I will get there around 11.

i will be there as well.
on a side note does any of you fellow volunteers happen to possess a bull float that you did not purchase?
i still have my handle and brush but i dont believe i came back with the bull float after worlds.
it is a large item about 12" by 4FT with a threaded swivel attachment for the handle.

what time is everyone going to be there this weekend?

I hope all goes well with the pouring!

More concrete will be arriving today at the Lodge. First load is scheduled around 1 with a second load two hours after that. While Jim has not asked for help, I'm sure they could use it. So if anyone has some time today and would like to help, I'm sure it will be appreciated.

A couple of guys from KC are there and some of the DD crew are there to work but I know more hands will make for lighter work.

So if you can help, please head up to the Lodge.

Thanks

after my doctors appt at 1:00 ill be heading that way.
gary nail is coming by my shop for some much needed tools and is headed that way.
i spoke to Mark Martin and he said they have some of the forms built and are building more this morning.

First off, don't listen to Mark Martin. If you have any questions, ask Jim. There are enough forms in place to handle 1.5 trucks and if Mark will get off his butt, they will have the 3 or 4 left finished.

Again, if you have any questions, please contact Jim and disregard any other phone calls from people that just don't know.

understood.
there are some hands down there donating their time right now i was just relaying my conversation with one of them.
i,m glad somebody is there anyway.
i,m hopeful that there will be some good work performed today.

First off, don't listen to Mark Martin. If you have any questions, ask Jim. There are enough forms in place to handle 1.5 trucks and if Mark will get off his butt, they will have the 3 or 4 left finished.

Again, if you have any questions, please contact Jim and disregard any other phone calls from people that just don't know.



WORD to that!!! Mark Martin....I just saw the dude at the Atlanta Motor Speedway last weekend....he gets one week off the track and now he's helping call the shots at the Lodge? Dude is a hell of a Race car driver (although he wrecked with no one around) but I couldn't imgaine the guy being able to throw a disc out of his shadow. Dude drove the VIAGRA CAR PROUDLY when he was like 30, Come on wtf :D

I have adapted into a Southerner quite easily :D

i was glad to see Coda, Gary,Josh, Jim, Deb, Ron , Mark and four others that i don't know their names.
when i arrived at around 3:00 there were 2 concrete trucks there and Jim was running bucket fulls of concrete Deb and others were mucking and screeding,Mark and Gary were magging and edging as fast as they could.
With an inexpierianced group of people the pads didnt turn out half bad. the only pad poured that we couldn't save was the white tee on hole three it had set up too hard to mag by the time we could get to it.
i don't know the total count completed but i would say progress is good.
maybe for the next pour we can round up some more help as this was an immense undertaking for the crew there today i applaud everyone's efforts today.
thanks to the Talors for their efforts to provide a top notch facillity for all of us to enjoy.
and thanks to the men and ladies that were there today.

Brad H.O.I.

A big thanks to all that were there to help. I know it didn't end until after sunset. Thanks to the Tulsa and Kansas guys for helping. Not getting to only one pad and a white pad at that is great,no big deal we can go back to fix that one.
I knew it would be a huge day with two trucks coming and a lot of work for those that were there.

Again, THANK YOU! ;)

and as always thank you Jim and Deb! :D


Sorry I couldn't be there, I had to stay at work. :p

just returned from the lodge, the tee pads turned out real nice considering the the amount of concrete poured vs the available help. turns out there were 3 that we were unable to finish properly 17 white, 3 blue and white, while they don't look nice i think they will work ok, and on another note we will be pouring another 6 pads on thursday those will be more manageable than the 20 on wed since we will be done during daylight hours and not working by truck headlights. there were grass fires in all directions wed, the drive up looks a little charred now. going home you could see the orange glow and east of barnsdall the fire line appeared to be at least a mile long

Treat & I have finalized the Players Pack and the items are rolling in! The TDSA and Twisted Flyer have pulled yet more strings to deliver the goods to the players. I would pre register if I were you! (Hint of the Day).

Thanks to those already on the event volunteer list. If you want to be on the list... contact me.

Sorry to have missed the work day on Tuesday. I don't monitor the boards everyday. Are people working today?

The concrete truck is showing up at the Lodge at 10:30, not 11:30 as originaly scheduled.

Geez, It's 10 o clock now. I don't think I can make it in time to be of any use.

once again just returned from the lodge, 5 more pads in the ground, 9 blue and white, 13 blue, 16 white and 18 white thanks to jims crew shorty, carl and rick, the kansas crew of mark martin and ron klein, thanks also to carla barton and brendan hickman for coming out to offer their help

and thanks to you gary

Many THANKS to my teammates at Innova for once again coming thru for The GCO at Lodge! The UPS guy dropped off 36 new Innova tee signs made of GREEN ECO plastic! Once JT and the crew get the mapping done and drop them in these frames, they can be spiked in the ground... GREEN style. very flexible and can be used over and over again.

Good job on the Tee's and Thanks to all that helped!

It looks like we are getting the video stuff worked out pretty good. I have been watching birds in Bobby's back yard flutter around while he talked to me. We may have a trial run ready by next weekend. :cool:

What time do things get kicked off Saturday morning?

Can't wait to hit moccasin again.

I know we have asked a lot, but we need to ask a little more.

Jim has two concrete trucks coming tomorrow morning.

Hopefully we can pour all 18 pads and be done with the major construction part on the courses.

If there is anyway you can make it please do.

All of your help will come back to you in good karma!!!

Please post up if you can help so we can get a feel for the # of people coming.

I am guessing around 10:00 but Joe or I will post a definite time soon..

Thanks again, we really mean it!!!

I told joe I cant make it this week. I might be able to swing a day next week if you still need someone just let me know.

I ditto what Treat has said above. Having just got home at 8:15 from the Lodge tonight, with plans to go back after my first delivery in the morning (yep, all this and a day job!)we are entering the home stretch. You guys KNOW me... I call it straight out and go BIG at every opportunity and this is one we all must seize.

As Treat said we (Taylors, TDSA and the event) have asked a bunch of you since the beginning of this project, and everyone has come thru to the best of their abilities which I / We TOTALLY appreciate. It is at this time I feel it best to point out that this is the LAST day / chance to get these pads in on the Creek course. We really need all the help we can get. We have 3 events this weekend that will pull everyone in different directions so that leaves manyana and Monday.

As someone who puts in HUNDREDS of hours each year growing, promoting and volunteering for our sport I know what I am asking of you and I would not ask if I did not feel it was absolutely what we needed to do to put our best foot forth.
Numerous World Champs will be here and EVERY USDGC Champion will be in the house, let's show em' our swagger! Sure the courses already rock, let's just go the extra...

Post here, call Treat or myself or simply just show up at the Lodge tomorrow... we all know where it's at. If you have a homie without a computer, let em' know for us.

Thanks!

Joe

Heading to work now and will be out at the Lodge about 9:50. Call me if you need anything 405-206-9558.

HOPE to see everyone out that can swing it.

It's "Swagger Time"... time to get "Beastin"

18 Pads in the ground... 13 volunteers, my hats are off to you guys! Thanks for the concrete edging lessons Nail! It was fun to get to yet again knock some stuff over and burn it before I left!

THANKS AGAIN VOLUNTEERS AND TAYLORS.

Happy Birthday Deb!

might be spectating on saturday any advice on where to go or where to hangout at?

Depends on what course is being used for the pros but you may ask Joe or Mike Treat if they need any spotters. I know there are a few holes that it would help speed up play and get them through there.

I'll be there spotting. Every tree that I can hike a leg on. ;)

I hope they don't put me too far back in the woods or I might have to leave a "Dogpile" also. :D

Can spotters dirnk adult beverages??

THAT WOULD BE A BIG FAT.....


NO.

:(

Guess I'm going back to the Prozack.

Prozac is not on the list of performance enhancing drugs... yet. Look forward to seeing everyone there.

Well if I took Viagra you could always use me as a bag or unbrella holder. ;)

Maybe for this umbrella........... :o

Viagra IS a performance enhancing drug :D

I just watched the Wrestler last night and I have found Courtney and Kevin's wedding march song: Balls to the Wall :o I wish I had seen the movie before I got married. I could have went out with a bang ;)

UPDATE FROM THE LODGE!!

Everything is going great.

We started right on time after a feisty rendition of the Star Spangled Banner by Big Dave, which was most awesome.

The wind has picked up so it's going to be a challenging day.

Everything is running smooth.

Did everyone have to escape to their fraidy holes yesterday evening, or did the severe weather pass by Pawhuska? I imagine tornado scares are quite pleasent for out of staters.

live web cast of the island hole is on line right now

Big shout out to my boy A Hunt! First place after round 1, played with the top players in the world all weekend, final round he's carded with Feldberg, Jenkins, and Rico, goes for the island on 17 while everyone else was laying up, makes it on after OB dispute, sinks birdie putt with hundreds looking on, takes down some of the biggest names in our sport, places 9th is his first NT ever, and wins his spot in the USDGC for '09. And shoots 59 points above is rating average for the weekend to do all of this.

This cool operator did his duty this weekend. He does team Johnny Parkman proud. Way to go Adam, you deserve it!

I would like to thank Joe Rotan, Mike Treat and most of all Jim and Debbie Taylor for opening up their land and their home to so many from all over the country. This had to be one of the most fun tournamnets I have had. I had the best three cards a guy could ask to play on, with some of the best players in our division. The weather stayed nice, with the exception of the 40mph winds but we all had to play it and it was interesting to say the least.
Thank you Jeff Ash for the fabulous fireworks display on Sat night. ;)

Hats off to Tony Walker for walking over knee deep in mud to get his disc. If he hadn't had boots on he would have lost his shoes in there for SURE! ;)

Thank you Staff, volunteers and everyone that made this event possible. :D

Tony Walker afterwards. :D

I second that. I know there was a lot going on in the past months to get everything ready so big thanks to the the Tayors, Joe Rotan, Michael Treat and all the other volunteers that helped to make this happen. :cool:

I must say the same, Good job A hunt. You will love Rock Hill!! Get that money in for your spot soon!! ;)

On another note: the only good break I had all weekend- Hole #9 on the Island Course, I throw my drive just short and a little right. I am left with a knee putt thru limbs on the edge of the fairway!! Big slanted rock about half way to the basket and I must just miss it to go in. Well I hit the rock proceeds to skip on the same line it was on and went right in AWESOME!!!

Just wanted to say a few words about the weekend.

First and foremost, a BIG THANK YOU to Jim, Deb and the rest of the Taylor Family. You guys went out of your way to make everyone feel welcome and at home. The work you guys put in that not everyone saw was HUGE. Thanks!! (Jim looks like your gonna have to go back to your day job now ;) )

JoRo and the Treatster. You guys were working non-stop to make things very smooth. I know how much work it is to run a big event and you guys did a great job! It was really a good time!! Thanks.

To ALL the volunteers who spotted and manned the Hospitality tents, THANK YOU!!! You guys gave up your weekend to sit out there and watch us get to play. Good things will come to the givers, thanks.

Good golf, great food good times.

Thanks to all who had something to do with pulling this one off. It was fun!!

Big shout out to my boy A Hunt! ... This cool operator did his duty this weekend. He does team Johnny Parkman proud. Way to go Adam, you deserve it!



i second that sir! big props to Adam this weekend!!! we all knew you could bust out some sick rounds, congrats on playing with the biggest names in the sport and holding your own!

U S D G C ... WEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Just wanted to say thanks to the Taylors for the course and great time. Thanks to all the staff for the preperation, and thanks to the volunteers. What a great time it was to be among friends again, it was great to see all of you.

It was great seeing you again Cam, you need to come out more often.

Thanks to Mr Twisted Joe Ro, Michael Treat, the Taylors, all the volunteers and people who helped get The Lodge ready for this huge event. I don't think I have ever seen so many high quality pros in Oklahoma!
Congrats to all the winners and especially to our local boys Adam Hunt and Devon Owens on some great golf. Proud of you both.

Green Country Open (NT) and the Dogwood Crosstown (A-Tier) are in the books. Doss' win strengthens his #1 ranking. Schwebbie gets the win and his 10th event point at the Dogwood and catapults into the top 10.

The biggest jump is Adam hunt who went from 900+ (aka, not ranked) to just inside the top 150. Keep playing the big events Adam, you could break the top 50 without a sweat!



I copied this from another forum, Adam moved up 809 spots to 141st position! WOW, now that's a move...........................

What the hell, everyone afraid of the new big bad board?

I like what I see so far. It has a cool new look and even I can reply.

Why did you change your handle good buddy???

i second that sir! big props to Adam this weekend!!! we all knew you could bust out some sick rounds, congrats on playing with the biggest names in the sport and holding your own!

U S D G C ... WEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Adam! We are proud of you buddy! A USDGC berth and a sponsorship offer! Way to step up and play with the big boys!

Congrats to Adam!!! More Okies at USDGC than ever this year! Way to go!

I know the Champ didn't play his best this weekend but it's got to feel nice to put that kind of thumpin on the 12x World Champ, Good Job!!! :grin:
