We have seen so many Okies in this area!!! Every course we have been to we see okies! We are digging the area BIG TIME! It is nice to hang with friends of the flyer from around the globe!

Wish I was there.:(

Wish I was there.:(

Me too. I'm soooo jealous!

If any of you okies venture over to Country Club Plaza I sugest you stop by Bucca cafe for some fine Italian eats. Also... do not miss... I repeat do not miss gettin' you some Arthur Bryants BBQ. The walls look like a history book come to life and the food is "OG".

KC is one fun place!

We are getting rained on here at blue valley

Why are you at BV when Jeremy is going to Shawnee Mission?

Here is a strange one for you.

Oscar Stenfelt PDGA #8658 from Uppsala Sweden, he is rated at 1000 and shot a first round score of 45 which is a 1032 rated round

in...............now get this part of it

He is in the Junior < 16 boys Division!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PDGA #8658? Heck, I started 6 years ago and I am #21242, what did they do, sign this kid up at birth?

numbers in the 8000's are/were reserved for non-united states members

I've heard that you can reserve/buy future numbers also (don't know if that's true)

Andrew Treat in 23rd Pool N He shot 2 strokes worse than his rating.:(

And Teresa Duff rated at 720 shoots a 684 +32 strokes. Come on girl get the heck out of DFL!

Well rain does that to people. At least the guys get a wet tee shirt contest out of the deal. :)

Is she still carrying your stinking pinky 100?

Shhhhhhh.............Duff's not supposed to know its not his.:D

Looks like they're still getting hammered.
http://i.imwx.com/web/radar/us_mkc_closeradar_plus_usen.jpg

Wilkes in wth a +7 Nikko was at +3 and the others on the card at double digits.

Just in....CODA IN at -1.

Joe Rotan in with a 56, he said a 53 was best on his card.

Looks like they're still getting hammered.
http://i.imwx.com/web/radar/us_mkc_closeradar_plus_usen.jpg

****, I hate playing in the rain. :( It's bad enough that I'm normally working on another DFL but to be constantly pelted with water balloons from the sky doesn't make it any better. It takes away any game I've got, and any game I was ever going to have.

Is it supposed to be like this all week? :confused:

Why are you at BV when Jeremy is going to Shawnee Mission?

Doing some filming for some other projects.

puddles of rain at Blue Valley

Last Pro card just went out. Rotan saw Coda, he was 1 up with one to go.

Pro scores aren't posted but I just heard there are 15 players in at -1 and kalstrom at even through 12.

here are a few more #'s from pool p : myself +10...ouch, hoi +7, treat +5, stacey +3...
everything in my bag is soaking wet... it's tough to throw a turnover when you can't even grip your putter. And backing up a circle 6 with a circle 5 really doesn't do much for your confidence..:(

Come on Dough, I know you know how to grip your putter....or is that polish your putter. Always get that mixed up.

Thanks for the scores, the PDGA doesn't have the Adv master or Grand masters up yet.

Poppa Treat shooting 77 above his rating!
Tied for 22nd in pool P and only 6 back of the leader in his pool!

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice going for all of our ADV MAsters. Seems to be one of our best performing pools.

[QUOTE=numbers in the 8000's are/were reserved for non-united states[/QUOTE]

I met some guys from Germany and they both have 8000 #'s

Great the illegals get the good numbers too.:cool::D

First pro scores coming in. Coda leads by 5 with a 1062 rated round!

Poppa Treat shooting 77 above his rating!
Tied for 22nd in pool P and only 6 back of the leader in his pool!

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Dave. I had an easy birdie on 17 that hit basket dead center and rolled 40 feet, ended up with a 4 or I would have only been 3 big.

Tough rainy slippery hilly long course..

But, a ton of fun.

NICE ROUND CODA! 1062!!! Keep it up!

Are some playing 2 rounds a day?

Some did play 2, adv. ...the adv. grand master div. where supposed to play 2, but they cancel their afternoon round at rosedale down under "TO MUDDY TO PLAY"... now they have to play that course twice tomorrow....darn

If it drys up some they could have an advantage. Its not too hard to score a good round in there.

Happy Birthday to Joe Rotan!!

Happy Birthday Jo Ro! Isn't it #40 or something like that :D Good Shooting yesterday!

Congrats to all the OKIES for getting off to good starts!
This is the perfect Worlds for CODA in KC, the courses are perfect for his game should be in the mix the whole way.

The Crowler in the mix!!! Keep it up and more & more impressed with Adam Hunt, looking forward to seeing his game more at USDGC.

The Dude begins his march forward today!

Rooting big time for Daryl Johnson, he's got some TOUGH competition but I think he will be in the mix as well.

The Masters Trophy is coming back to Georgia, Phil Arthur is on a mission this year to win that tourney. I have played against Phil in 4 events this year and he's got me 2 times and we tied once. He is playing great, and the Hammster will make a run and be in the mix probably scooping up 2nd.

Devan didn't show for his first round, he thought he didn't play until 2:00. That would be his second round of the day.

What a dumb arse!:mad::mad::mad:

And we're supposed to support him on a National Tour??

devan didn't show for his first round.


please say your kidding!!!

I think "The Dude" needs a road manager to get him where is supposed to be.

well this is devan yeah i didn't show up for my first round.YEAH feel like a **** *** also let alot of people down. i will learn from this and grow as much as i can from this mistake.

Wayne Forest ACED hole 1 at Rosedale down under today!

If the Doosh isn't coming home he should have to caddy for Coda the rest of the week!:eek:

and yes, after that stunt he is back to being the doosh and not the dude.

Way to go Wayne !!! Keep it up Coda, stay focused. PD,there's still lots of golf left, keep your mental game tight. Jeremy way to hang in there and show those "haters" whats up.

Joe Ro at the top, representin'. Steve King in th middle of the pack. Cameron not lookin' too shabby. The Macs doin' work.

Andrew "OPIE" Treat with a 1003 3rd round and moving up!

I told him he would like Wyco.

Man this thing is starting to look rigged.

How do guys with 988, 982, 979,& 977 ratings qualify for advanced AM? :(

there is no ratings cap for advanced ..if ken climo never played pro he could still be playing adv

Rotan has taken a 2 stroke lead on the leader card. He shoots a 50, the others a 52 and 53. Still waiting to see what the second card has done.

The boy is on his way aand shooting hot!

2nd card is in with a 47, Joe is in the lead by 1.

nice to see aces from okies. wayne forest, mitch mac and joe teferteller

Anyone friends with Juliana on Facebook or Twitter? She is giving the play-by-play of the Open Women lead card! It's great! Better than watching live scoring! Would be fantastic if there was someone following all the leader cards!

Rotan in the lead by 3 after 5 holes!

Just leaving now to go watch the finals tomorrow.

Jo Ro keep your blinders on and stay focused! YOU THE MAN!!! We are rooting for you!

The Georgia Master's players are killin it, Phil is up by 10 and Brad is positioning himself for 2nd. It's kind of weird thinking Phil a masters player because he always plays open but he is a great golfer and a hell of a dude.

GreaT job Joe Ro!!!! Keep focused and play shot by shot...

What a week... 2nd after the first round, next round half way thru I slip and pull a muscle in my back... ouch!! I keep fighting and work with what I can but it still sucks... making almost every putt inside 45ft but I can't throw Far and as accurate as normal... But still in the mix... Hopefully tomorrow I can put down a great round of disc golf... Wish me luck!!!

Keep your chin up Coda! You're still representin' Oklahoma well! Rootin' for ya!

GO JOE ROE! Bring it home brotha!

Keep it up Coda!!!

Way to go Joe!!!

What a week... 2nd after the first round, next round half way thru I slip and pull a muscle in my back... ouch!! I keep fighting and work with what I can but it still sucks...

Get a back massage and find a hot tub this evening.

good luck okies

Good luck tomorrow Twisted - I know you got it covered...one smart round and then kill 'em in the finals :)

I'm not an Okie, but I probably play more in Okla than I do in Texas so up at World's I've felt like a transplanted Sooner State son.
Congrats to Twisted man for sure. That's awesome. Some good karma from running so many events. And Forest and Mitch and Joe with aces.

Coda is keeping it together mentally very well with an injury. That's impressive. That 56 he had while healthy at Blue Valley in those conditions was awesome!

Congrats to Josh Crowl for his World's debut. And Kyle for some great golf this week.

And it's always good to see the Camera guy.

We Texans make cracks about Oklahoma for its turnpikes, poor teacher pay and a host of other reasons.
But they got some great guys who play disc golf.
Well done, Oklahoma.

And it's always good to see the Camera guy.



good to see you too...how about more pics

Can't find tee times on pdga. Could someone post or text me what Joe Rotan willplay final 9.

918-876-2332.

Congratulation Mr Twisted, Advanced Masters WOLRD CHAMP!

WOW, way to go JOE RO.

First of all congratulations to Joe, great week of disc golf and great win.

I had a blast. KC has some great courses and I thought the tourney was ran really well.

I was a little suprised at no dress code enforcement. If there is a requirement for collared or dry fit shirts that should have been enforced, but no biggie to me.

One thing about playing all those rounds on courses that are for the most part very different from Tulsa is it will show you where you need to work, you know holes in your game.

The courses like Swope and Prairie Center is where I played best. Round ratings from 956 to 920.

Cliff Drive and specifically both Rose Dales gave me a lot of problems. I do not think Rose Dale down under should be a World's course. It is so different than the other courses I just didn't think it fit. On top of that the rain made it almost unplayable a few days. The Adv Grand's played it twice as did several of the older divisions. You can throw a perfect shot, barely clip a tree and end up way down a cliff. I had a 40 foot lay up, my rock landed under the basket, stood up and rolled all the way down the hill. Very frustrating rounds. Sometimes I couldn't even get a stance going because I kept sliding down the hill, literally.

It would be nice if we had a course like that here because a lot of golf, especially the more east you go, are on that type of course. I plan on searching out a location to build a down under type course. The closest thing we have is Copper Head but the penalties there still don't compare to down under.

Overall a great experience. I had a great time spending the whole week with my Son's. Andrew played well and Matt was a big help caddying. Oklahoma golfers showed the world just how good they are. Division by division is chocked full of Oklahomans who played very well.

It is good to be home, my bed felt great after the board I slept on all week.

Great job to everyome who played..

added a few more images from the semis at cliff drive and the finals
congrats to joe, wayne and brad and all that brought home trophies, cash and plastic

congrats joe ro for a big win and congrats mr. crowley for cashin at your first attempt at pro worlds!

the ratings are still messed up for my division, they are comparing all pools scores so prairie, waterworks, wyco, and shawnee all are being compared together, not going to like my first day ratings at all... worlds was awesome but im sad i couldnt rise to the occasion and play in the final 9, 9 strokes out... pretty far off for a week of golf, plenty of chances to make the first day up. probably going to stay am and rack up some wins to prove i can excel at the level im at and not fake it in the pro division, there is always time to go pro

Look at that smile on Joe's face, knowing he has it in the bag!:D

Congrats to all my okie buddies that played and big congrats to Mr. Smiley Joe Rotan on his win!

Way to go Joe Rotan!!! World Champion!!! Way to putt the smack down!!!

Worlds was a blast!!! Great disc golf courses... Pretty nice weather... Getting to listen to Mitch Mac's stories... And lots of disc golf...

Funniest thing there was listening to Mitch's Pdga Worlds "tip of the day"

Tip 1
If your putting low...... Start missing high...

Tip 2
If your looking down...... Throw down... If your looking up..... Throw up....

Tip 3
If your in the rough... pitch out...

Tip 4
If you have a Tee Time.... Show up for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tip 5
If it is raining outside...... bring towels

Not as funny if you don't get to see him act them out!!!! He is a riot!

coda would have loved to been there to see it. Good job to all the okies! ( that showed up for tee time)

After a few days of letting the past week sink in that's all that I can think over and over again. I must say the folks in KC did a GREAT job! This was the best World's since we did it in 2006. The courses in KC ROCK! I am a BIG fan of throwing downhill!!! Danielle and I got there early so we could take a look at some of the courses and it paid off at Cliff Drive.

Starting off the first day I played like pooh, finishing the day in 8th. Day two I got revenge on Swope AND shot the HOT round at Cliff drive to finish the day tied for the lead. Day three I was able to hang on thru 36 to finish up by 2. Day 4 was another 36 hole ride that found me with the professional caddy services of Jay Slack and I ended up 4up by 4. Then the disc golf gods smiled on me and sent us back to Cliff Drive for the semi's!

When I tee'd off in the semi's I was surrounded by my girl & friends from the good ol' OK and the TDSA. Those friends watched me throw 3 bogies in 4 holes! Wise told me "calm down, your almost out of the tree's boss" I managed to struggle thru a couple of 3's until we hit open land. That is when something inside of me said "crumble or crush" and I just went off!!! On hole #12 that plays 375 feet to a fairway about 80 feet wide, with cliff on right and road o.b. left, I bombed a hyzer over the road and sat 15 out while they either threw in the road, over the cliff or in a bush. I took a 2 and they took 5's and 6's. After that they just worried about eating each other up for second place. That is how I got so far ahead on the last day. I won by exactly the strokes I got on everyone at Cliff both rounds I played there.

Thanks to everyone that has supported Twisted Flyer along the way and THANKS to my friends that either showed up, called, text, emailed or other. I am glad we could experience this together. I am a lucky dude to have friends like you. Thanks to my sponsors Innova, Revolution (lovin' the new ATOMIC colors!!!)Kicker and Danielle.

Haven't been able to post on here until today.. I just wanted to give it up to all the Okies who put it down at the 2009 Worlds! Congratulations to Joe Rotan (ADV Masters WORLD CHAMPION), BVA, Coda, Dorries, Mr. Crowley, Jeremy Taylor, Logan, the Treats, Wayne Forest, Hunt, Chris Stine and anyone else I forgot. I played in the 2009 KC Wide Open so I know how much fun those courses are! Wish I could've been there. I'll definately be at the 2010 Worlds!:D

oooo baby! What a week!! I had a great time in KC, once again. KC is on my list of cities I would be willing to move to if I chose to leave T-Town. Big props to JO-RO and C-Hat for really representing okie golf. Twisted1- complete domination. And then just seeing Coda's anguish between rounds after trying to play with that injury. I can't begin to think to know what he was feeling. I was healthy and he kept smashing me.

My play at worlds was...the downside of a rollercoaster. I started really well. I was on card 6, then 9, and then 7. I was in route to win a USDGC spot and then just continued to fall farther and farther from the front. But all in all, I made the cut and cashed. I can't be too upset. Probably the coolest, slash made me the most nervous, thing that happened for me was as at Water Works. My card is getting ready to tee on hole 10. We had a little bit of a wait before we were able to tee off. I was nervous already because I had the honor to play with GreGory Barsby, Steve Brinster, and Joe Rovere. Then when we were getting ready to tee, I looked behind to see the next group walk to the sitting area for 10, and there he was. The Champ was on the card right behind me. I was only 3 strokes behind Ken Climo after 3 rounds. WTFT?!? (what the french toast) My brain couldn't comprehend this, and this is where my worlds took a turn for the worse. I fought to shoot even this round, but it never seemed that I could get over my nerves the rest of the week.

My goal after worlds is to take the things that I think I've learned, and apply them to the tournaments of the future. Will I be able to do this? We'll see...hah. I hope to see even more okies at Worlds next year.
