-.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to the 2009 Riverside Glide thread. We are looking forward to this year's Glide even though there are a few concerns. The biggest concern is parking. Carpooling is really encouraged. Even if you meet at the 31st and Riverside parking lot and park your buddies car there, it will help. Otherwise it is first come first served with the neighborhood being your next best option.

The decision to keep this a one day C Tier is due to parking concerns. If the parking is bad one day I hated to double the pain.

So, I decided to run the Glide Saturday and a non-sanctioned 36 hole event Sunday at Chandler, the Mountain Glide!!

These two events will provide for a fun filled weekend of both sanctioned and non-sanctioned Disc Golf.

I decided to keep the prices low in hopes most people will play both events. The Mountain Glide will be $25.00 for all divisions which will include CTP's and mulligans. Opting out of mulligans will lower the price a few bucks.

Riverside mini's begin tomorrow night. This will give us a couple fo weeks to check out the parking and get in a little practice for the Glide..

Let me know if you have any questions. More details to come, I'm sure..

You playing 36 at Chandler or 34 holes?

That is a fair question Mr. Wise.

There will be 36 holes available for play, on that particular day..

No Riverside Glide at the PDGA sign up webpage... :confused:

It will be soon enough, if you want to sign up soon, then come out to his mini tonight. I'm sure he will let you sign up.


WHERE ARE MY TEE SIGN DESIGNS?:cool:

You playing 36 at Chandler or 34 holes?

Here's the main number at the Park's Dept at Chandler 591-6052, you can ask for Pat Standingbear or Mike Costa. Maybe you will have better luck than me and Furdog in getting them to complete holes 1 and 4 on the Moose Run.

I swear, that crew out there is like a bunch of lesbians...............no one does dick!


Will they consider just letting some club members finish it? I know we can find the guys with the right know how and we have a great crew of volunteers that I'm sure would be willing to help so that it gets done.

Amen, I am sure that we can fill in the two elevated areas with some thing and plant two baskets. if nothing else we can always supply plenty of bull and make a muffed putt a hazard:D

I already asked them if we could finish the holes and gave them Jerry Stacey's number because he said he would personally help them, but they said they were going to do it themselves. I will call them again...

Well the course would have been done already if someone hadn't insisted on elevated two holes. :(

BTW, it's Mike Acosta not Mike Costa. That might be why he is not listening to anything you have to say. Pat Standingbear is out until the 20th.

You and I need to get together and see what we can do about adding some extra lines to some of the "poke n' hope" holes.

Something needs to be done about # 6. I don't have a problem with keeping it long but it doesn't play well now because you have to basically throw down into the dirt and hope it skips up.

I think for the "Mountain Glide" we should change a few holes around drastically to see what other options and set ups we can come up with. Like maybe throwing from # 2 pad to # 4's basket and so forth.

how about we start at the chandler entrance at the bottom of the mountain and play one long hole down the road or through the woods however you choose to hole 1 basket. since its non sanctioned, every 5 shots you are required to chug a beer, see who wins/lasts.

I have walked with Mike around the course and asked him to make changes to #2,4,5,11,12, and 16 over a month ago. These are small changes but none of them have been done. There are no poke and hope holes on the course in my opinion, only holes that need to be cleaned up or pads that need to be changed. #6 is a roller throw and that hole could be trimmed also to give the airshot a better chance. The Moose Run is probably the last course I would play in town right now because it is unfinished. They have had over 3 months to put two elevated holes in that they have had the materials for, how is that my fault? I'll be glad when the course is finished and Chandler will be a great two course facility, but for now it is simply a frustration that seems to be out of my hands (if you can't tell by my post) or atleast my time schedule.

Hey, you think this is bad remember we once had a course at Hailey Creek park, care to guess how much fun that will be to get back on line later this year?
Bets anyone?:cool:

Hey at least at Haikey, when they have a plan, they get it done. They just don't appear to have it on the agenda anytime soon or ever, just don't know.:confused:


The new Haikey creek moved south to Owasso.:D

Well I’m not blaming you but you need to understand how those park guys think. They work there everyday when they are not scrapping ice off the courthouse steps. They love DG and play all the time. They like the idea of a second course. Then we come along and design something and don’t really even ask for their input but turn around and tell them what we want them to trim, cut, and move. They treat me nice but it might be only because I grease the path with a free pizza, free shirts, discs, and other goodies just like John Green did before me.

We can personally move the tee pads anytime we want and don’t need to ask them to do it for us. We should design in a way as to keep trimming and cutting to a minimum so it doesn’t become an annual work duty for them. Number nine coming out of the woods and throwing through the bush pile is going to become an ongoing maintenance hole just to cut the vines and crap away.

All I really want from them is to mow the grass and maybe cut a limb or two every once in a while. One signature elevated basket was great but the second one is kind of redundant.

Right now I think we should look at the overall map and see if we can redirect a few holes just to see what other design variations we can come up with. The two in the woods wouldn’t change other than possibly the hole number. Is there anyway we could design something to where # 9 ended back up near the parking lot so we could have a front nine back nine set up giving access to the parking lot for water and beer refills?

I’m thinking about going out there this Saturday or Sunday and looking at other possibilities if you’re interested. We can always go back to the current design if we want to.

my only complaint about the Riverside course is that alot of the holes on the front have to stop by the basket or they are skipping OB. Mainly 6 and 7. alot of dirt by the basket and was having a hell of a time to keep stuff from sliding just a few inches out. I got there at 5 30 and my choice of several parking spots so that was a bonus. Loved being able to get a gatorade between 10-11 versus rushing to qt before the round. Beatiful weather and alot of fun even with a 1 down. Thanks to Jeremy Taylor for the CTP donation and Mike Treat for running a good show.

dirt? :confused::confused: brand new sod...:cool:

who was selling gatorade's at the bench between 10 and 11?? i didn't see em :D

there were dirt on the holes I mentioned, did mean between 9 and 10 on the gatorade. And sorry I also posted on wrong thread. Stessfull day ot the office has brain a lil jumbled. I like the freshly laid sod. Will be nice and lush once it matures.

jus givin u a hard time :) hehe

just $40..is their an ace pot..

No Riverside Glide at the PDGA sign up webpage... :confused:

not on the schedule either...

ehhh? wanting local turnout only?

im sure there is some logic (special treat logic) behind these ways

seems like parking was alright at the mini, you shouldnt be worried about that, post this baby up there! :)

I wanted to keep the prices as low as I could so I plan on running an ace pot separate, for those so inclined.

Probably $5.00 each for an ace pot..

The price does include CTP's and a cool players pack..

Riverside Glide Update:

Sign ups are starting to come in. No, we're not close to our 90 cap but there seems to be a lot of interest..

I will have sign-ups available tonight at the mini. I am not sure when or if the PDGA site will accept online entries, I have provided everything they need.

I plan on being at the course for awhile Friday night to take sign-ups. Not planning on doubles, come on it's Riverside! If someone wants to get something going, let me know..

Saturday morning we will take entries until 9:00 am. Players meeting should happen around 9:30 with tee times shortly thereafter.

There are only two rounds so hopefully we will be done semi early. The weather is supposed to give us a heat break later this week.

Sunday, Scott and Wayne are helping me run the "Mountain Glide" at Chandler.

This is two rounds of unsanctioned fun. Entry fee will be $25.00 which includes mulligans etc.

This will be a great weekend. I think everyone will like the players packs for the Glide.

Come out tonight or I will see you later in the week..

That's right!!!

Let's pack 90 in at Riverside and 180 at the mountain!

Michael won't mind!!!! :)

It's Glide Time!!!!!

More is more!!!! That is the tradition.

Come, see people living in vans down by the river!

Then stay the night and party on the mountain for the rocky mountain high!

All 18 baskets are in on the Moose Run and the moose will be loose!!!!

What time did you say sign ups start on Sunday Mr. Treat????

All 18 baskets are in on the Moose Run and the moose will be loose!!!!

Pictorial proof that indeed the baskets for holes 1 and 4 at Moose Run are in place...

Hole 1...

some of us are thinking of coming up from the city with no online signups what are the chances of us driving up and then having to turn around?

I am starting a reserved list. Just email me at [email protected] or send me a pm.

Several other are doing the same. I will hold your spot until 9:00 am Saturday. If you're not there by then I will start taking cash from those who did show up.

I have no idea if this will fill. I HAD to limit it to 90. Parking is a problem

As a TD, I often wonder if anybody will show up, you know, one of those recurring nightmares.

With that said, we had 43 people at the 1st mini last week, and several regulars weren't there..

Bottom line, first come first serve. Send me a note and your on the list. Pay by 9:00 am Saturday and your in, up to 90 people..


Don't forget, Mountain Glide Sunday will not have a limit, two courses and tons of parking..

As a TD, I often wonder if anybody will show up, you know, one of those recurring nightmares.

...I wish my recurring nightmare was about DG... :D

...Michael...you have mail...

M Treat Did you get my PM?

yeah u better be coming eads

Come on now Paul you know I couldnt miss out on a chance to play with you!

we had dubs my first year playing the glide in 07 and again in 08. I understand if your hands are full but someone should step up here and run a doubles event. (WF) just extra money for the OO we could raise.

hell i can rember when the glide was one of the bigest turny in tulsa but now its just a one day over priced minni the parking issue is just a cop out thanks tnt

If you haven't played the course yet or tried to park there, then thats not an infomred statement John.:( When I pulled out last night I had three cars lined up trying to get into my spot. It would be impossible to run the glide as in the past with two flights, unless you John are offering to provided all of the shuttle service from another location.
The parking lot isn't as big and the ameneites that they built attract WAY more people to the river. While the course may play out longer, it is on less land than before.

I think you're way off on this one Barton.

Riverside Glide B Tulsa, OK Sat-Sun, Jul 18-19, 2009?

hell i can rember when the glide was one of the bigest turny in tulsa but now its just a one day over priced minni the parking issue is just a cop out thanks tnt

Parking is a problem down there John. I believe more parking was originally planned but QT for some reason backed off their support to complete it at this time. Even with 90 people on Saturday it will still be bad. God forbid but unfortunately it will probably take a DG'er getting hit crossing Riverside before QT and the city realize their mistake.

im with john on this one, parking .... give me a break. there are tons of neighborhood streets to park on and ive parked in those apartments across from hole 18 before and never had a complaint.

I know Wise won't complain about having to walk a couple blocks to get to hole 1..........

I don't think parking is any reason not to have a 2 day like normal.

Just my opinion

Then you're way off too. Have you been there on a Saturday morning?

How do you think the apartments would react to another 25 cars or more in their parking lot?
On top of that there isn't a neighborhood street to park on for a few blocks north or south on Riverside. When the event was a two day, we would fill the parking lot on both sides and all of the grass areas next to Riverside. Now the number of parking spots has been reduced and the grass areas we used are gone entirely. I think Mike made the right call for this year. Better to see how its going to work out this time through and if it goes well, then YES next year make it a two day. In addition to that, everyone needs to get ready for the one day formats, they are the future for a lot of events.

I know Mike was torn over this decision but with several unknowns, he did the right thing. Like any other tournament, if you don't like the venue, the format or the TD, then it's simple, don't play. Attendance sends the biggest message to an event that they did or didn't do something right.

Thanks for the support Dave..

I almost cancelled this thing. Lets see how it works out this year. We did include Sunday at Chandler so there are two days of golf available.

Paul, I understand you wanting a two day tournament. We are holding two tournaments, just separate.

Hey Gumby, after that one mini you ran in Bristow, all of a sudden your an expert?????????

Amazing what can happen to some peoples attitudes...

I understand being concerned about parking. It is an issue there at that course.

I'm just saying if you are going to have it there on saturday, you might as well do it sunday too. Especially since less park go'ers would be there on sunday morning than on Saturday.

25 cars in the apartments is an exaggeration.

I think if you wanted to keep tradition going and keep it a 2 day it wouldn't have been a big deal.

I'm fine with it being a 1 day, just expressing my opinion. Yeah I think his decision was somewhat justified, but as long as we disc golfers are aware of the issue and expect it. We can carpool, park further away, etc.

I'm just thinking there's got to be more reason than just parking to change it up.

Please don't take my comments as being unappreciative. I am very grateful to all the Tulsa TDs that show up and run the show so we can play.

I am glad you didn't cancel it, I was just expressing what I thought about the whole parking thing, I think as long as it is a known problem by the DGers, then we can find ways around it. Just a mile down the street at the bridge there is a TON of parking. Some of us who are aware of the parking issue could all meet there and just ride over in groups of 4-6.

Thanks for being the TD Mike, you do an awesome job, don't take my comments the wrong way.

Well there could be other reasons besides parking but who is going to be more likely to gripe to the parks department, DG'er's or the general public that calls in to gripe to the city because some drunk DG'er threw up or emptied their beer cans in their front yard.

Now that the place is getting more use by mothers and the little kids you should look at it as if the city stuck a dog park in the place. As always it's women and children first. I doubt whether they will pull the course but with enough complaints they could cancel future altogether.

You shouldn't assume that parking will be any better on Sunday either because you still get jogger clubs and such parking there early in the morning as well.

My thoughts were if the parking is bad to terrible for one day, why put all of you through it for two days.

Thanks for everyone's patience. Lets see how it works and hopefully we will be back to the traditional two day Glide next year...

I understand a young gun like yourself Paul would walk 10 miles to play, and I appreciate your enthusiasm. I needed to look at the entire field, and as Scott stated the other park patrons.

If the city gets a blast for us taking all the parking spots then we will have some damage control to do.

uhh im pretty sure disc golfers shouldn't barf or leave anything in home owners yards, thats just stupid and our own d*mn fault if something like that were to happen.

Yeah, a couple joggers on sunday morning, but this is Tulsa, and most people go to church on sundays. I'm just saying, probably less casuals on sunday, but thats a weak point to begin with. If we can show up and do it on a saturday, then why not sunday too... this is only 1 time a year.. its the GLIDE baby!

If the city gets a blast for us taking all the parking spots then we will have some damage control to do.

okay, I guess I can understand just going the more cautious route. I don't really know how all that "dealing with the city" stuff goes, so I was just giving more of an opinion of a "young" disc golfer who wouldn't mind walking farther to play an event

most people go to church on sundays. I'm just saying, probably less casuals on sunday,

Not out there but if you want an empty course, play Owasso on Sundays, EVERYONE is in church.:cool:

All in all this will be a great weekend and just because Riverside is only a one day that should not discourage anyone from playing because this weekend offers something for everyone.

The cap of 90 people should get people’s attention and force them to get off their butts and pre-register by Friday night. That helps Treat by minimizing last minute entries on Saturday morning. Though Riverside has always been a two day IMO if you can’t get it done in two rounds then four rounds isn’t going to help unless you’re hoping your competition gets drunk on Saturday and doesn’t show up on Sunday.

You should consider Sunday at Chandler your last chance for romance. I don’t get to see my friends from OKC very often so I hope they see that IMO this is still a two day event that offers 3 courses instead of one and two different fun and enjoyable atmospheres.

If you have a CS25 bag tag bring it on Sunday.

Also, I might be available on Saturday to shuttle a few players from the Moose Lodge down to the Riverside and back if anyone is interested.

No Online registration????

No, you can't use your paypal account, go sell some plastic tonight.:rolleyes:

maybee next year we could do 3 rounds, I have played in some 3 round tourneys and everybody likes getting home early. I think Sunday morning we would be able to park all dg'ers as long as we teed off by 830. I don't ever see alot of traffic down there till 10 am most mornings.

I appreciate the effort that TNT did put into this years tourney and I look forward to playing. Just slightly dissapointed about the doubles. I could just use the extra practice thats all. I do believe in the past however it was a twisted flyer promotion.

No, you can't use your paypal account, go sell some plastic tonight.:rolleyes:

paypal debit card... its sweet

you can withdraw from ATM like its a bank account, but it comes from your paypal balance

love mine :D

Most Ams do like them, it makes it easier to avoid being a pro.:cool:

Did I read correctly that we are going to have tee times and not a shotgun start?

I believe it is shotgun but don't quote me.

Ok, I guess I need to quit my job and check in more frequently.

I gave everything to the PDGA for online sign ups, apparently they still are not up.

Send me a PM or email and I will hold your spot until 9:00 Saturday morning.

We will have a shotgun start, not tee times. I am not sure where that came from.

I appreciate all the input, 3 rounds etc, but this deal is set, sanctioning agreement sent etc.

Please take this as a bonus, again I was inclined to just cancel as I don't want the parking to be a hassle for anyone reading this post. Trust me running a bigger longer tournament only works in my favor!!

I was trying to think of all the players. If this deal works easy, back to the norm for next year.

All changes have some growing pains. We played the west side last year, kept the Glide going.

We have a brand new course with zero funds or physical effort from the TDSA. That price is we are running this as a one day C Tier this year. Try to consider the trade offs in the long run.

We ended up with a new course and we get to keep the old 18 baskets, so two courses for the $0 price of one..

Thanks for your patience and understanding. Sunday at Chandler will be a great time as well..

You're doing a great job Michael!!! :)

At least you have a choice to quit your job. Me on the other hand, I have the government doing everything they can to close my business.

We exist in a very fluid environment, I wouldn't count out a little dubs actions just yet.

Any volunteers to run it?? I really need to spend some time Friday night making sure I have things like score cards and sharp pencils!!!

and sharp pencils!!!

How much extra do I need to bring for the pencils? Will $5.00 cover a pencil or two?

Thanks for the support Dave..

Paul, I understand you wanting a two day tournament. We are holding two tournaments, just separate.

Hey Gumby, after that one mini you ran in Bristow, all of a sudden your an expert?????????

Amazing what can happen to some peoples attitudes...

i have been going to and runing turnys in okc be for you were playing disc golf treat
i just watched you give up on every traditon that other people worked long and hard to bring to the gilde and if the course lost that much land we cant run a big turny there it should be pulled and put somewhere we can like the westside just to let everbody know that all thats said on here is from john and not karla

John, are you having a bad day??

I have never had a problem with you. I really don't understand why you decided to post on here and give me a hard time.

Nobody appreciates the hard work counteless people have done over the years and the traditions they have created more than me.

My decision wan't made in a vacuum. I consulted a lot of the members and players before making that decision.

It isn't fair to sit on the sidelines and blast people who are trying to do the right thing.

It was my responsibility to decide how to handle the Glide this year. If people disagree I understand. All I am trying to do is put on a solid, well ran tournament for everyone.

Saying the parking is a cop out in your first post is wrong. Everyone in Tulsa knows that it is an issue, hopefully one we can overcome.

Sorry that you decided to attack me like this. I know you have my cell #, you could have called me to discuss your opinions.

Again, I have always gotten along with you very well. Not sure where this is coming from..

There is less room for disc golf on the west side of the river than on the east John.

And I think that a guy who has been in the sport as long as you have would know that counterproductive posts like the two you have made so far are bad for everyone. Including yourself.

If you really wanted to get something done you should have taken a different approach, in my opinion. Not publicly trashed one of the most reliable and consistent Td's in town.

Pops and I have always been good to you and Karla and for you to think that we wouldn't have run a two day if it was possible is disappointing.

There has never been squat for parking anytime I have ever been there.

The logical choice is to experiment. Throw it out there full tourney style day one, and hope for the best. If all is well then you are good to go for next year and any other potential events, like Woody's crow throw. (of which another edition is shortly ensuing)

If parking does turn out to be a major issue, then you aren't going to have to put disc golfers and other park patrons through that problem two days in a row.


Don't make a problem where there isn't one man.

There is still a tourney, we are testing out new space. Everything will be back to normal next year.

John, you were my former partner in GCD and we are friends but you are wrong. You need to let it go. Papa Treat has never done me wrong or anyone else I know of. Saying that, I don't think he'd try to screw up our long running tradition. He did move it last year so we could still have it at all. I did suggest things to fine tune the tourney, but they were more directed towards the future than the present. Shotgun starts is pure genius and i think it will make things much smoother. Just chill for awhile, we all still like you, just stop the one man assult. Later.

Thanks Bryan, I appreciate your support.

I keep forgetting to mention one of the coolest things about Saturday, it's another chance to try for the state USDGC spot!!

I want to thank Joe for making the Glide one of the qualifiers..

I know several of you are in contention so good luck..

I usually don't chime in to controversial issues, but I have to say I whole heartedly agree with Papa Treat in this situation. In addition to the parking issue (which is undisputedly a HUGE issue), isn't it true that disc golf pretty much took on a "one day sanctioned event is better than a two day" approach a couple years ago. Thanks, Treat, for all you do!

You just do your thing and run this how you want to Mr Treat! Two BIG Thumbs up to you for running this event!

There are alway's a few Odd ball's that want to complain about something!

... I'm sure that Michael will set-up a First-Class tourney for this Saturday ... he always does ... IF ... if parking seems to become 'tight' in the Lot at 41st , 'sno big deal ... I've walked it many times past , and the 'Homeland' parking lot is a "7 minute stroll" ...

Wayne Force!!!!.....You're slacking off on your duty dude!!!!

IT IS NOW OFFICIALLY GLIDE EVE!!!!! :)

Thanks Furdog..

Yes it is officially Glide Eve..

I will be at the course by 5:30 to take sign ups and if anyone want to play doubles we will make that happen too.

This evening I will set up by hole #1, there are different cool bands that play the pavilion every Friday evening, an added little fun thing..

Tomorrow you can find me on the parking lot side of the covered pavilion. There is a nice area with electricity so come there for sign-ups Saturday morning.

We don't have the old spot to do awards anymore so I am planning on setting up down by the practice basket area for awards.

I have received several emails and pm's from people wanting on the pre list.

There is still plenty of room.. Try to swing by tonight if you can, it really helps..

If you can't make it tonight I will be there by 7:00 am in the morning, sign-ups have been well published as closing at 9:00..

The weather is looking specatcular so come on out..

Don't forget this is one of the qualifiers for the state USDGC spot!!!

The players packs have cool stamped disc, including RW-Pro Aviar's and Roc's, those things smell great!!!

Perfect weather, a nice new course and all of our friends out playing Disc Golf, this weekend should be special..

Mountain Glide Sunday, non-sanctioned 36 hole fun on Furdog's mountain..

See you soon..

great disc for the players pack. Good luck to all and See you at the Glide 09'.

Great job Treats! Weather was good and lots of old faces out. Coda dominated with 29 birdies and no bogeys in open. MC on a strong return bests Don Cook in Adv. For those of us that have not run a tournament before may not realize how much of a sacrificebof time and energy it is. I sure appriciate having a pdga event in our back yard. Nice work and thanks for your time!

... nice Glidin' , Michael Treat ...

Thanks to the Treats for a fun day...and to Penny for steppin up to help close out the event...The advanced master pool was alot of fun...it was tight the whole second round with Joel Woody winning by 1 and a tie for second between Jerry Stacey and Sean Young...Roger Knight from Arkansas was there but a 6 kilt him...I'm laughingly typing this because I played with all these guys and pulled a Dorries :D "blew up" after my ace...Cha Ching. See you all tomorrow on the mountain....Don't forget to bring some extra cash for the carnival afterwards!!!

had fun but probably not as much fun as don cook and dough duff.
treat ran a great event. thank you mike.
one day events don't allow much real estate to make up for a bad round.
it looks like parking worked itself out well. i believe an early start time each day would allow for a two day in the future.
overall a splended event.

I really appreciate all of your kind words. There were a few moments of stress but those are to be expected when you have 97 people. I think we signed up 60 in about 40 minutes!!

Ok, here is the deal. I made a mistake in the MPO and MPM divisions.

Sammy signed up for open initially, plain as day on his sign up sheet. Before the 1st round he asked if he could move to pro masters, I said sure. I changed his scorepointe card and moved him into that division, I never made the change in the computer.

For some reason, most likely a typo, I listed Tony Walker as open instead of pro master. In the spreadsheet MPO is right on top of MPM, any way my bad.

Everything is fine in that they both played pro master all day, and their scores we sorted with the pro masters. The problem is with the payout. The system showed two more pros than there really were, and two less pro masters.

Pro payout was over paid. No big deal I am obviously going to let those payouts stand.

However I need to pay more in the pro master field.

Here is how the fist payout looked:

MASTER PRO DIVISION

1 $104 $105
2 $71 $70
3 $49 $50
4 $36 $35
5 $29 $30


Here is how it should have looked:

MASTER PRO DIVISION

1 $115 $115
2 $80 $80
3 $54 $55
4 $42 $40
5 $33 $35
6 $24 $25

So I owe the following:

Clint McClellan $10.00
Sam Nielsen $10.00
Chris Hicks $ 5.00
Curtis Harris $ 5.00
Ray Walker $ 5.00
Bill Pennington $25.00

I will get in touch with you all and settle this all out.

I have a system to keep this from happening, yep, didn't use it today..

So, wanted to straighten all of that out. Andrew and I had a great time. Pennekamp was a BIG help

Special thanks to Brad Hoi for coming out this morning and fixing hole #8.

I plan on telling Innova that we are seeing this a lot, actually 2 baskets at red hawk and now this one. The need to do something to make the basket stronger..

Again, thanks to everyone, sorry about my mistake..

See you soon..

Oh yeah, scores are up..

Some nice ratings for some of you...

Was this a B-tier??? Based off payout I would assume not!!! Man what ever happend to the $500 for first!!! $130 with 14 pro's or not that is weak!! You had a 100 Wood Discs and I don't even get one for a players pack!! Instead i get a pro wraith!!! Good luck getting a good turnout next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With Worlds coming up I kept the price low considering it was only a 1 day C Tier..

There were only 50 wood disc. I wish now I would have ordered 150!!

Not a B tier so no $500 added cash.

You could have discussed this with me at the tournament. Sorry you feel that way.

It all comes down to entry fees and # of players.

I expect the turnout will be fine next year..

Also, it wasn't a B Tier. I double checked my sanctioning agreement and it definately shows C Tier. I will call them Monday..

Sad thing is I could make the same playing two mini's for $24 with ctp and ace pot!!!!

Lol!

You've been clicking on this >>Riverside Glide *C* Tier July 18th 2009<< everytime you check this Thread!

How much are the entry fees for the Sunday Tournament?

Good Job on the tourny TNT. Thanks Penny for helping speed things along and Brad for always having a solution to basket issues. I really enjoyed playing with some unfamiliar people today, the guys from OKC and Norman were very cool. I got there at 830 and there where only 8 wood ROC's left so I know alot of people will be disapointed but thats usually the case when you don't get signed in early. Congradulations to Coda, Conners and WOODY !!! I didn't tear it up but theres always next year !

Your son told me that you guys had 100 of the Wood Rocs and Aviars... And i see that you were playing it as a C tier(thanks Bubba) Just went off what I saw on the PDGA website..

The Glide has went downhill though... No ring of fire either, isn't that wierd, used to be a huge ring of fire. I can remember winning a wheel barrel full to the top of disc golf swag!

Just don't like to see some of our better tournies go downhill, wish it was the opposite...

Thanks Bryan, I appreciate your support and the other 96 out of 97 players.

Chandler will be fun today. 36 holes in a row baby!!!

Total entry fee for everything is $25.00.

Basic entry fee is $22.00, $1.00 for ace pot and $2.00 gets you two mulligans for a total of $25.00 if you want everything

Come on out, see you there...

Nice, I forgot about that one Gary.

Thanks. Ha ha.

I'm glad that one came out so well.

Man what ever happend to the $500 for first!!! $130 with 14 pro's or not that is weak!! year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Maybe instead of hanging around Tulsa for lunch money you should have gone to Texas. I know Devan didn't mind taking off work to go pick up $1,000 for 1st. That sure helps to pay for that new car of his.

What tournament did he bank 1k from?

The 2nd Annual Lighthouse On The Plains Disc Golf Tournament

Wow!!! / Guess someone should change their name from Twoputt to "One & Done". :)

Then you'll have to change to None-n-Done.

Well sorry but I heard you quit only because you blew up the second round and didn't want your blow-up (on a pitch'n putt) to affect your rating. :confused:

And that affects you how?

It should be clear to you by now that I don't give a crap what anyone thinks, if they don't pay my bills. Your opinion matters even less.

Nice, 8,000 posts....quite an accomplishment Wise.

And Furdog, what's up with your measly 4,632?

If you want to compete with Wise on the board, then you need to start posting more, but just not on the TDSA thread please.

I am sure the Norman guys would take you...or OKC they will take anyone.

Wait does OKC even have a affiliate club?

Treat, I bet u've been waiting all morning to congratulate Wise!

It should be clear to you by now that I don't give a crap what anyone thinks, if they don't pay my bills. Your opinion matters even less.

You've lost that loving feeling....oh oh that loving feeling.

Well walking off half way thru the second round and "tanking" on a pitch'n putt just to save your rating is something reserved for people that graduate from "Q" school so I guess that makes you the newest graduate. Congratulations.

Too bad God didn't install a "rewind" button on your forehead. :)

Does the PDGA just pick on tulsans!!! I get a warning for my post with Birdie... that was funny! At least they left the JILL thing! yOU Just had to click the notify moderator didn't you treat...

yOU Just had to click the notify moderator didn't you treat...

Maybe you should try keeping track of the people you **** off, because it wasn't me.

Maybe you should try keeping track of the people you **** off, because it wasn't me.

Oh!! I do... all three of them...

tell me it isn't so Wise. Did you really pull a "Q" ???

Something I would have never done even with a round rating at stake.
I worked till 2am friday didn't get to bed until 3:30 and was up sick as a dog at 7. I played both of my rounds feeling like arse and dehydrated. But I never even once thought about quitting..... Round ratings aren't worth sacrificing your integrity. And if your wondering i had a 867 and 912. shot my rating to hell.

I dont know what OKC did to you guys , but I know of several people from the OKC metro that support all the t-town events that they can . I think that Disc Golf gets a bad rap because of the "STONER GOLF " label that has been put on it for so many years.every time I mention to a non discer that there are tourney's they usually say "they have tournaments for that , I thought that was just for stoners".If we really want it to grow , like I know most do, we should support all the areas that try and have good courses and good people to throw events. I think OKC got a black eye from someone that does'nt even play anymore ( BH ) running an event that did nothing for anyone but take their money. There are people in OKC , me being one , that would love to put more effort into this sport but know that people dont respect public property at all and once a course is put in it is basically just that.I can only imagine what someone like DJ feels , when he puts his time in to his course ie: Benches , mulch , tee signs, landscaping only to come out to see what some jack *** has done to it , be it vandelism ,stealing , or just trashing it out. So I know most things on here are meant to be taken lightly but hearing only negative things about OKC all the time is getting old , believe it or not there are a few good supporters down here . There will always be Q'S and Tom's but we also know that they dont represent our respective towns Disc Golfers.With all that said , I hope all the okies that are going to worlds this week kick some major tail and show what kind of golf we can play , I will be following you all from my computer so make me proud. Red , dont make me get back on my high horse , as small as I am it would hurt to fall off.Back to your regular programming.

Mick B.

Good for you. I guess you didn't read my statement above stating how I value others opinions of myself. But thanks anyhow.:cool:

Well I guess if you only value opinions from those that pay your bills then your wife must be the only one you listen to because DG isn't doing it for you. :)

Good thing you're just a soccer mom and not a soccer coach.

just giving you crap, I'm sure you have your reasons. But if you didn't care what I think, why respond. I'll offer you a hug next week :)

Mickey, I agree with most everything you had to say. You and several OKC/Norman guys support Tulsa way better that a lot of the Tulsa guys support OKC. Not sure as to why. As for the ribbing OKC gets, well thats what happens when there are only two major cities within a state. It us against you in a competitive way. Its even Tulsa against OKC in economics, politics, standard of living....ect.........you get the picture.
Personally, I like most all of you guys, especially the norman guys.

I think the best thing you could do for yourself, your family and your overall lifestyle is to move to Tulsa.:D

I think that Disc Golf gets a bad rap because of the "STONER GOLF " label that has been put on it for so many years.every time I mention to a non discer that there are tourney's they usually say "they have tournaments for that , I thought that was just for stoners".

There's nothing wrong with "Stoner Golf". It is what it is. Where would DG be if pot never existed?

If you want DG to be there with the NFL or MLB then drug test at tournaments like they do and see how many players tumble back to the grass roots sport God intented it to be. :)

Instead of trying to hide the fact, embrace it as part of life and be who you want to be.

More than likely half of the strangers you drive next to on the highway are addicted or partake in some type of mood modifier. Why should DG be any different?

Well said Wise, I dont know about moving up there but I will definetely come up to the Hard Rock Casino when it opens .Who's going on the first ?

Furdog , everyone knows I dont have a problem with stoner golf . I just wish people that dont play or have little knowledge of Disc Golf didnt associate it as such 90% of the time .Me being a Master now with a struggling game that I am having trouble improving on , I think a bunch of colorado holes are in my future.

Welcome to the Masters Division.

[QUOTE=MICKEYBROOKSHIRE;1386590]I just wish people that dont play or have little knowledge of Disc Golf didnt associate it as such 90% of the time .QUOTE]

Well I understand what you’re talking about but I think a lot of the stereotyping goes back to high school or maybe even junior high where right or wrong, as kids in school, most everyone could be labeled as part of one group or another. The sports guys were considered “Jocks”, the academic people were considered “Nerds”, cheerleaders were considered “Sosh”, and guys that smoked were considered “Heads”.

No matter which group you might consider yourself you probably knew people that would or might fall into one of these groups. I was a “Head” back then and disc golf at the park was just a place to hang out and play for those of us that didn’t have any else to do. I’m sure the jocks or nerds that saw me out there back then carried the association throughout their lives and if they were to me now days without knowing me, would consider me to be just the same whether I am or not.

Coming back into DG after so many years I really haven’t found it to be any different so shaking off the stereotype is something I don’t think will ever happen. Disc Golf is better ran and more organized compared to back then which is good but as a TD, I occasionally get people trying to pay their entry with a joint which doesn't work for me.

Personally I believe "Ultimate" has a better shot making ESPN just because those guys have to run and it could be played in a stadium.

I don't have a problem with the "Stoner DG" label because it reminds me of a much more simple time when life was easy and people weren't crashing planes into buildings.

This is no different then general life in which you can be stereotyped into some type of tribe just by your last name.

Well sorry but I heard you quit only because you blew up the second round and didn't want your blow-up (on a pitch'n putt) to affect your rating. :confused:

I quit too ,but they decided to keep my score even though I was'nt there...

I have never seen anyone want a DNF more than the Woodpecker, I made the change, tell all your friends to check it out!!!

The report hasn't been sent to the PDGA yet, the results are "unofficial" until that happens..
