The 2010 Las Vegas Gentlemen's Club Challenge is set.

For mail-in entries, go to www.lvbagtag.com.

For on-line sign ups, Am weekend, go to http://www.pdgasignup.com/Qstore/Qstore.cgi?CMD=011&PROD=1256887014

for on-line sign ups, Pro weekend, go to http://www.pdgasignup.com/Qstore/Qstore.cgi?CMD=011&PROD=1256887786

On-line sign ups should be linked to the PDGA Tour tab, Schedule line, once PDGA approves our sanctioning agreement (which was mailed last week).

Future updates coming shortly...including major sponsorships for our little A-Tier Event.

Sponsorships - The Las Vegas Disc Golf Club will be donating $1,000 to the tournament. The Syndiscate as donated $500! The 2009 Las Vegas Halloween classic donate $500. At $2,000 so far.

But wait...there is much, much more!!!

East-Coast Innova has approved 120 INNColor discs. (We did sell all 150 INNColor discs last year!). Same design, but three slightly different color schemes. (Go to PDGA on-line sign up page for one of the INNColor images.) Will sell them for $30 each, locally. (I know this may seem pricy, but we did sell all 150 last year for $30 each, and have around 300 players coming to our tournament and over 100 local club members!) All proceeds, over $2,000, goes towards the tournament. No on-line sales, but a few may be listed on EBay.

West-Coast Innova has approved 200 CFR Glow discs and 50 TFR discs. These 250 discs will have a slightly different hot-stamp logo than then DX, Pro, and normal Champion order. Will sell these for around $20 each. All proceeds, over $2,000, goes towards the tournament. For sales, go to www.discgolfvlaues.com and local sales.

West-Coast Innova has ALSO approved the 2010 GCC to be the ONLY tournament to receive their test-run Pro Grooves! (Thanks to Dave Dunipace and Mark Molnar!!!) The Pro Groove turned out to be more stable than the Champion and Star Groove, so likely will not be ran again in the Pro pastic for quite some time...if ever. We get around 200. Will sell for $15 or more. (We are the only guys to get these, so you can't get them anywhere else!!!) All proceeds, over $1,000, goes towards the tournament. For sales, go to www.discgolfvlaues.com and local sales.

We also expect West-Coast Innova to send us the Diamond Support Package due to our very large order. This adds another $1,000!!!

But we still aren't done! We ordered lots of hot-stamped Champion, Pro, and DX discs with a second GCC 2010 logo (slightly different than the CFR Glow and TFR logo), and much of that proceed will also go towards the GCC payout...another $500 or so.

Add this all together, and we're around $8,500.

Many hole sponsors available at $40 each. (I know this is more than last year, but you get it posted for two weekends this time!!!)

On-line sign ups now linked to the PDGA Tour tab/schedule.

Ams will definitely play one round a day of 27 holes via tee-time. (Or 54 total holes, similar to playing 3 rounds of 18 holes over a two-day period.) There will be at least one island hole! (This is an A-Tier event, so lets make the course just a little tougher!)

www.lvbagtag.com site updated to include (1) hotel list, and (2) "Escorted by a Pro" Silent Auction list. If you (and one friend) want to get some playing tips from one of the top players in the world, check out the "Escorted by a Pro" Silent Auction page. Val already up to $200!

More silent auction items coming...

Sign ups coming in and being updated. Out of town for 10 days so next update in December.

Innova sponsorship officially at $7,200...if we sell all their discs. LVDGC sponsored $1,000. Syndiscate sponsored $500. 2009 LVDGC Halloween Classic tournament sponsored $500.

Jeff Jacquart sponsored $100. Keith Johnson (as always) sponsored $40. Jeff Kennedy (righty) sponsored $40. Steve Ganz sponsored $40. Jessica Hilbrecht sponsored $40.

You can order a GCC XI polo (from ApeWear) before the tournament and pick it up when you come (or we can ship it). A polo order form will be posted on lvbagtag soon. Cost is $35. ($40 if shipped.)

So will Ams not be playing the "traditional" gentlemen's club challenge layout?

No. Ams will be playing one round a day of an extended 27 hole course...including an island hole.

So any idea what the set up is going to be? What are the extra holes?

Working on set up.

Extra holes are #A, an island hole between holes 15 and 16, and an extra hole between 21 and 22 near the dog park.

does this course have 1 set of Tee's that all AM divisions will use?

The course will not change either round for the Am weekend or for any of the rounds pro weekend.

The Am course will still be hard...trust me. This is an A-Tier event!

Is it yet known what discs will be available in what plastics as hot stamps?

Everything will be brought out to the 12/12 bag tag event and 12/13 bag tag payout event.

Eight different glow discs, 4 different champ discs, Pro test run Grooves, Pro Wraiths, Star Makos, DX Valks and TeeBirds, and TFR SLs and TLs.

Entries updated.

Can't wait for this years tourney season to start out right with 2 weeks of play here in Vegas followed by the Memorial....Who could ask for anything better.

You are 100% right!! The only thing that will make it better is winning an escorted round with one of the many pro's or the Kilted Men!!
My Bids are in, check it out at http://www.lvbagtag.com/gccxi.htm

Hey Jeff;

Do you have any pics of the sweet Tourney Shirts that people can order? Maybe post one on here so everyone can see them?

Canonico

We are an USAmatureDGC qualifier again, but no word if a USDGC qualifier. I told Howard at USDGC that we'd like to be.

Entries updated. About one-third full for both weekends. Handful of entries coming in every other day. We will fill up!!! DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO SIGN UP!!!

Looking at the registration the out of town response has been awesome! Where are all the locals at though. Lets go Vegas get on the ball and register for the BIGGEST A_Tier in the country.

I will be working in Vegas for three days next week and will be in town on Monday evening. Will I be able to sign up in person while i'm there or do I need to sign up beforehand?

I'd sign up before hand. I am not at the park that often. We will fill up.

Entries updated.

Had our first drop out. Sam Ferrans is affraid to be beat by me at my home course, so will see how bad I kick his rump at the Memorial. But, Sam and Hero Discs came through with some pretty cool donations for the Am raffle and Pro Silent Auction.

Speaking of the Silent Auction, go to www.lvbagtag.com for updates. Bids are coming in every other day. More items will be added this weeked.

Also, two more Escorted by a Pro players added (soon). Steve Wisecup (or the Best **** Old Man You Ever Played With) and Cary Trotter (Vegas's local hero) are selling themselves. If you win Steve, I'd bet he'd buy you a lap dance at his (or Vicky's) favorite establishment!

Player packages coming together. Raffle items up to over $1,000 or so in items. Silent Auction is going to rock.

You are a fool if you miss this little A-Tier event!!!

Silent Auction items updated at www.lvbagtag.com. Three (3) items incorporated into shadow boxes. Pretty cool metal mini added from Disc Golf Values. Two (yes...TWO) Jon O'Connell hand-made mini baskets added too! 2010 GCC mouse pads and clock added as well. Soon to be added items from Sam Ferrans and Hero Discs. Let the bidding wars get tougher!

only 24 days till the AM competition begins. Can not wait for the early tourney season to start. 3 weeks of outstanding disc golf! I better get my kilts dry cleaned.

ha, why's it dirty Jon? lol

Look forward to seeing you guys, I'll be at both GCC and The Memorial. I'll see ya then!

Are the caddy books going to be posted online before the event like last year?

Caddie books should be posted soon. The file is huge and am having a very hard time making it web readable.

Another hole sponsorship...from Rory Self!!!!

Entries update. Almost half way full for each weekend.

It's great to see all of the out of town sign ups. It is also encouraging to see 10 signups in the rec and novice divisions. This is where the sport grows from! Where are the locals at......Come on vegas and get signed up OR if you are not planning on playing contact the tournement staff and volunteer to help out. The more volunteers we get the better and smoother things can run....plus you get a really cool package for helping out!

Looks like we must be doing something right because the Memorial is finally going to keep the tee time ranges the same for each day. Kinda sucks for me because I don't tee until 1:22 in the afternoon the first day. Oh well party time at THE DUKES! Woohoo!

Entries updated!

Two more hole sponsors!!! Cary Trotter and his Wednesday Night Doubles Crew ($40) and Yvonne & Scot Jamison ($40). Thanks Guys!!!

Should have outline of caddie book up soon. Need a few more distances for the temporary holes.

Entires updated.

Draft am caddie book posted at lvbagtag.com. This version does NOT include any logos. (Only way I oculd get it to be less than 5 MB.) Also, will measure the remaining holes today unless it rains.

Hey all. Wondering if you can help me out.... This tourney will be my first. Im not sure which division i fit in to as i don't have a rating currently. Im from Cali and i generally shoot around -3 @ Sylmar and a -4 @ Lake Casitas... can anyone give me some help on this.

Thanks so much. Look forward to hearing back.

Matt

(pS i registered for MA4 just cause that seemed like the thing to do being my first tourney)

Matt,

Might want to try Intermediate (MA2), unless you beat Bamba at his home course (which I heard EVERYONE can do), then Advanced (MA1). Any of our SoCal boys signed up already for the GCC so you can see what division they are signing up for?

P.S. Really doesn't matter what division you play because EVERYONE wins at the GCC.

Jeff

Entries updated. Almost 100 for each weekend so far.

Where is my good friend Anthony Sendejo?

What course it the AM weekend at?

What course it the AM weekend at?

All of the Las Vegas tournaments are held at Sunset Park.

Thnx 95impss, I guess you have to be a local or have played a Vegas tourney before to know that, I swear I read an' reread the flier, the website, PDGA Tour Event Info, this forum... ?

All of the Las Vegas tournaments are held at Sunset Park.


EXCEPT THE CLASH AT PECCOLE!



and Jeff/ John ask me this weekend to give you money for a hole sponsorship.

Jeff, I noticed my buddy Side Arm Dave has his nickname up on the reg. list. You realize that this means you have to recognize mine, his arch rival Carl 'Beanieman' Renda, just for posterity. This event will be the first battle between Dave and I in a sanctioned event in 17 months...

Love all the hard work you guys do to make this an awesome event. Can't wait to get there, this year I'm bringing lots of the San Diego crew with me. GCC is one of the best tournaments out there son, if you're on the fence get off it and sign up already you won't regret it.

Entries updated.

More sponsorships!!! $0 cash and 300 minis from ABC Discs; $40 from Luke Butch; $40 from Thursday Night Doubles Crew. 400 plasic 40 ounce 2010 GCC beer bottles/banks from Arek Whitmyer and Progressive Glass...valued at $7 each! Hear more is one the way!!!

This is an A-Tier event. If you are not a 2010 PDGA member, or pay me before your play, you will not play.

That was suppose to be $80 cah from ABC Discs...not $0!

who would i need to talk to about moving up to the proper division? i registered for MA4 and apparently should probably be in MA2.... help me out plz! thanks!!!

E-mail your name, old division, and new division to [email protected] and I'll get it changed. Just bring cash to pay the difference in entry fees.

Jeff

thanks. email sent.

Monday morning, restless with visions of birdies.........
Tuesday morning, restless with nightmares of bogeys.......
Wednesday morning, eager with anticipation of whats to come......
Thursday, can not wait for tomorrow.....

Isn't disc golf great, 5 days til tee off!

So close yet still so far off. Looking forward to playing this tourney for the first time.

Isn't disc golf great, 5 days til tee off!

Unless you are playing PROS and then you have to wait 11 days to tee off. :)

Can't wait to make it out to Sunset Friday for doubles to play the course layout before the action starts. Too bad theres so few people in Intermediate and such a big field in advanced. Im happy for everyone in advanced competing against so many people, but I'm a little surprised theres only a few more than 20 in Intermediate. Regardless me and the other guys from Lake Havasu can't wait. Time to redeem myself at Sunset.

I left Northern California mid January, played a tourney in LA, played a tourney in Phoenix an' now I'm here in Vegas for the GCC. I hitchhiked to Vegas from Phoenix, an' I need to be in California for the Vintage Cup the weekend after Am GCC; if anyone is goin' to or through Nor Cal, after the Am weekend, I got gas money on a ride. Or I gotta ride Greyhound which is slow an' I can't smoke or be in good company. If anyone is down, let me know, thnx a lot.

Plus I'd rather give $75 bucks to a disc golfer already headed that way, 'stead of throwin' it at Greyhound.

I was wondering if you had the distance for the island hole. Thats one of my bigger concerns and I was wanting to practice the distance before getting into town.

I think it's 187 feet.

5am and I am already up and ready to go. See all the AM players out at the park today!

131 AM PLAYERS! 59 in MA1 alone. That has to be one of the best turn outs ever, Jeff? It is great to see that the economy can not slow us down.

Round 1 am scores posted. MA1 field first place a tie after first round. All other fields close. Pretty nice weather with a little windy and slight rain for about 10 minutes.

137 players...59 more players than last year. Getting 125% payback. They got a $35 players package!

119 Pros signed up so far.

Oops...131 Pros signed up so far...11 more than last year already.

Barry Schultz in town to help out with the tournament and has offered to carry the live scoreboard for the top MA1 card!

Jeff, can you please tell me if Blue Ox will have the tee times available and posted Thursday night?

I don't arrive until Thursday evening and I'm guessing that being in Grandmasters - That the block of time will be early morning tee times, but you know what they say about assuming.

I will NOT have free internet access, and in OCT it cost me 11 bucks to get my tee times from the Hotel we were at, as they don't do FREE internet time in the business office anymore.

Sorry to be a pain, but it would be MUCH appreciated if you could let me know.

Thanks in advance,
Keith

see ya friday morning..... early!!! the bright side is we finish early too.....so we can go spend our hardly earned money at the casinos :)

Thanks for putting on another great tourney LVDGC. Laurie and I had a great time even though the mild wind played games with our heads. :)

Or not :(

Martin - that is the one thing that was nice about Masters -staying up late with the family and still be able to sleep in, have breakfast at the buffet and still get to the course in plenty of time for the 10:30-11AM tee times.

Now I'm prepping for it to be just like a work week as with Vegas and the Memorial I'll be in the 7:30-8AM tee times which means getting up at 6 AM like I do every day now. :)

Vegas during the daytime is NO comparision to Vegas at Night!!!

46 hours till touchdown! :)

Yes, tee times will be posted at the Blue Ox.

Update - Player check in NOT required, but preferred. You can also get your players package on Friday before your tee time.

Thanks for putting on another great tourney LVDGC. Laurie and I had a great time even though the mild wind played games with our heads. :)

Was great having you both here and we look forward to the next time. Thanks Again

Thanks for the info Jeff!

Hey John Ricker,

If I need to resend, please let me know.

Also is there a layout of the 18 hole course we are playing anywhere - it has been 21-24 holes the last several times there and I'm trying to figure out which other holes are combining to make 18.

He did shoot a very nice 1st round...but he will be wearing the "Pink Butterfly Hat" when it's all over......:p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p

Nice Win for Liz. Way to Go!
