The Bowling Green Disc Golf Club would like to invite you to the amateur championships at Bowling Green, KY. We are very excited about this year's event and can assure you that this will be the best yet. Payouts will be the highest they have ever been! The players pack is also looking to be one of the best ever as well.

So far, we have 5 disc golf vendors that will run events throughout the week at 6 of the courses being used.

We will also have a huge flymart during the players party.

This year all competitors will have the chance to check in at tournament headquarters beginning on Tuesday. Players packs will be available at that time.

We will also be holding a raffle for 2 chances to win entry into the tournament.

We will be doing the three day format once again with play starting on Friday afternoon and ending on Sunday.

Stay tuned for more information. We will not be monitoring this thread, but will try to keep this thread updated. Information will be updated on a frequent basis on our website. Please check the forums section for info and to ask questions.

Very Nice Jarmiller(sp),
The more information the better. Keep it coming.

RonSTL,

I'll do my best to keep people informed. I know that there was a lot of complaints about that last year, so hopefully it will not occur this year.

Did I mention the raffle? $15 for the 1st ticket and $10 for each extra. $15 is not a bad offer to win a $60 entry. Plus if you don't win the spot you could still win prizes at the players party!

Do we have the dates yet?

I hated missing this event last year, but should be back in 2010! Now to decide on advanced master or GRANDmaster!

The dates are April 9-11. Online sign up should be available by Jan 1st. In the meantime, if you want to send in your pre-reg go to this website http://www.bgdgclub.com/ and click on the forums web link. Do not click on the forums tab. The address is listed in the BG Ams thread.

Russ,
I lost all of last year because of injuries. Come on and practice for 1 last time at ADV Masters. Maybe we can finally play in the same group, on the top card. I will be practicing!! Guarenteed your competition in GM is not much from STL right now. Just wait until my time, it will be Pro GM, if the lord keeps me healthy.

Peace,

This year is going to be EPIC!!! I talk to the TD at our poker league, and he has his stuff together, and pretty much everything planned out with his I's dotted and his T's crossed. You CANNOT miss out on the 2010 event!!!

The sponsers continue to roll in! May have another huge sponser on board. More details to come.

I'm really excited about going again!

Can't wait!

This year will be a blast. I have to keep quiet about some things that are in the works, and it's killing me. Can't wait to see you here!

Already got a couple registered! I'm sure these will start rolling in quickly after the new year!

I think once course assignments are out you'll def. see more people registering. I'm still on the fence about whether or not to play Intermediate or Advanced.

If i'm playing advanced, you're playing advanced

If i'm playing advanced, you're playing advanced

You're wanting to come to MY hometown and tell me what I should play?? I think you and I need to go heads up on the four primary courses.

You need to play Adv JD, so you don't suffer another loss to me. Just yankin your chain!

You need to play Adv JD, so you don't suffer another loss to me. Just yankin your chain!

Because I DO NOT want to play Phil Moore and Franklin I think I'll stick with Intermediate unless my rating goes up due to the first two Green Series tournaments. Just gotta keep it under 934.

Since no one else has posted the information...

Pools A,B,C,and D

Kereiakes Park (long pads)
Hobson Grove
Nat's at Phil Moore Park
Franklin-Simpson (short pads)

Pools E,F,G, and H

Preston Miller
Basil Griffin
White Park
Lovers Lane

There is a contingency plan in place in case Phil Moore is unplayable due to weather. If Phil Moore is unplayable, lovers lane will replace Phil Moore for pools A-D and Chalybeate Springs will replace Lovers Lane for Pools E-H

i would like to know what % of this tournament money goes to the pro's tourny later on in BG

i would like to know what % of this tournament money goes to the pro's tourny later on in BG

From what I remember talking to Chuck ALL the money goes out to the Ams this year I believe. Dont think there is going to be a pro tourney this year.

i would like to know what % of this tournament money goes to the pro's tourny later on in BG

Well since there is no Pro Tourney in BG this year associated with the BGDGC, 0%. I don't know what the case was in years past, but I can promise all Am's that 100% of all money, sponser and entry fees, is going towards BG Am's.

I will say this again, this will be the biggest payout's for BG Am's ever. The players pack is coming together and it will be fat as usual. World's is the only Am players pack that can compare. The biggest difference between this year and years past is that no Pro's have had their hand in making the decisions. This has all been put together by amateur players.

I'm hoping to play BG Ams this year. Here's my promise, assuming I play: If you keep your promise, I'll tell the world. If you don't, I'll still tell the world.

I only saw three tournaments meet or exceed those standards in 2009, in chronological order:

Harbin Rat (Cincinatti)
Roscoe's Revenge (Medina, Oh)
Am Nats (Milford, MI)

I had not heard the big pro BG event wasn't happening this year. That was always a big event. But I had heard money raised in the Am event went to the pro weekend, reducing the Am payout. Honestly, the players packs are so sweet, nobody should be too ill by the payout. Sure, everyone would like to see a fatter payout, but just cashing (as high as possible) is something to be proud of. Took me four events (in the "modern era" ;-) to accomplish that and I'm hoping I can do it this year. Gotta stop losing all my drivers in the ponds on the new course here tho! ;)

I was just wanting to put my vote in for Lovers Lane over natural teepads at Phil Moore.

I think that would be safer.

Thanks,

There are concrete pads at Phil Moore. Always has been.

Isnt Chuck valuing payout barely above wholesale prices in order to fatten it up?? I could have swore he said something similar, or was that Josh's plan for the Green Series??

There are concrete pads at Phil Moore. Always has been.


Oh, well in that case i'm happy either way

Is this considered a major? IE. are pros rated under 970 allowed to participate??

Not a major. Pros under 970 can play Advanced.

To answer some questions:

This is not a major, it's an A tier. The largest for AM's.

JD answered the one about Phil Moore. All courses in BG have concrete Tee pads.

Not sure how the TD is valuing the payout but I beleive that it is just a little above wholesale. Don't quote me on that though.

On a side note Disc Golf Shop and More is running a series called the Green Series. If you can play in these it would be a good preview of BG AM's. Plus they have a great players pack planned.

I agree with the comment about Harbin Rat and Roscoe's revenge. Theses were great tournaments and BG will be on that same level if not above it.

I've only been to Bowling Green one time and it wasn't for this tournament. I haven't played Phil Moore, but I was quite fond of Lover's Lane. That being said, if it comes to a vote I'd much rather have Lover's Lane in the Advanced Field. That or all rounds in Franklin, that was my favorite course.

Lovers lane reminds me of a true Kentucky course, with the blue grass all over the course, the length, the cow pastures by hole 2 and such.

All in all, that was a beautiful course.

Richard: I would try to make it to BG once before the tournament to play Phil Moore. There's not a lot to it except that it's super long with OB's and some wooded holes. The reason Phil moore is used for Adv is because it's more of an adv course then Lovers.

Trey: If you think Lovers is a great looking course, wait until you play some of the others. Griffen is not that eye catching but has a beautiful pond/lake that runs through it.

I plan on attending this tournament this year. My wife and kids are on spring break that week so we plan on coming up a few days early. I heard that Phil Moore was a beast. I just can't wait for my first and probably only crack at this tournament. I'm glad advanced gets to play Kereiakes because I loved it too.

You picked a great year to participate. Can't wait to have you here. And yes, Phil Moore is a beast but a beautiful course to play.

So when you think of cows you think of Kentucky, Trey?? Nevermind the fact that cows are all over the country! I swear Trey, you east coast elitists always looking down on us hard working Southerners. We're a proud people and we will not be demeaned and degraded like this!

You caught me JD, i'm sorry man. You playin advanced right? RIIIIGHT?

I need someone to ride to each course with!

Depends on my rating. I want it to go up, but I just dont want to play Phil Moore and Franklin. You really dont know how much I despise those 2 courses. You cant score there. You just huck it and thats it. Now I managed to shoot a -6 and -5 at Phil Moore one summer day, but I was really fortunate to have no wind at all both those days.

With this be an Am Nationals qualifying event?

I live in Arizona and am thinking about coming out. Is the nearest airport in Nashville?

that would be the airport to fly into,about 1hr drive to BG

It's an easy drive from the Nashville Airport to BG. Right up I-65.

Kid, you gonna be able to make it?

I live in Arizona and am thinking about coming out. Is the nearest airport in Nashville?

Unfortunately this is not an AM nationals qualifying event. Wish it was and maybe in the future it will be. Nashville is the closet airport to BG.

Some things that I have failed to mention:

6 of the 8 courses being used will be having events leading up to tournament play. 6 of these courses have been locked in by course sponser which are;

1. Dynamic Discs @ Preston Miller Park
2. Sun King Discs @ Kerikus and Lovers Lane
3. Poor Boy Discs @ Hobson Grove
4. LS Discs @ Basil Griffen
5. Disc Golf Shop and More @ White Park

Each of these course sponsers will be running doubles and other events. This is a great way to play the course and win some cash. Most will offer some kind of players pack.

Vibram is sponsoring both rounds on Sat. The TD is working on all the rounds being sponsored, like last year. Win your card and you receive a disc or something else.

So not only do you get a fat players pack, but a chance to win something after every round. Plus the biggest payouts ever for BG AMs.

Remember only the first 500 will receive the premium players pack.

Also, if you can provide a $100 cash sponsor, you receive a free entry.

rWc3523 wish i could russ,but i live in KC now and that would be far of a drive for me,but hey KC has alot of great courses to play so i'll stay busy playing here

Wonder why.

I'm not sure who makes that decision. But it never has been, although, it should be. Maybe next year something can be worked out, but usually it's done by a percentage. So the top 10% would roughly be the top 20-30 players.

Hey Kid it's only an 13 hour drive.

This just in:

I may have missed this in a previous post. Is there any word on a host hotel for this tournament?

The TD, Chuck Ridgeway, is going above and beyond to make this tournament something very special....thanks for stepping up, and taking it to the next level.

It's amazing that over 500 players each year pack this town of 50,000+, and at one point there are at least 4 players on every hole in town, on 8 courses.....epic

We have some of the local course pics on our site....not all of them, but it's something:)

They are in our Photo/Video Gallary.....Area Courses

Can't wait to see everybody!!

THE AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIPS
@ BOWLING GREEN
April 9, 10, 11, 2010

To the players of 2009: Thanks for attending last year, and based on your feedback we have a few changes and additions!

Back is the great players’ package: 5 disc, plus shirt, & other goodies!
Back are the Round Winner Awards – each round each 4-some winner will win a disc!
Back is the huge Fly Mart Saturday!

Added is a BBQ dinner Friday night!
New is the ability to pick up your players package anytime the week of the event!
And the payout will be FAT!

Complete info on schedule, courses, sponsors, and registration here: http://www.bluegrassdiscgolf.org/BowlingGreen.html

We are limiting the number to 72 per course (all 4-somes) and only the first 500 registered prior to March 8th will get the “premium” players package, so sign up early to insure your spot in this epic event of 2010.

Thanks for all of the info. Is there any word on hotel options for this tournament. Something centrally located and convenient to the courses being used in the Advanced field? Any information will be appreciated.

Best Western Motor Inn said they were offering discounts for this event. The number is 270-782-3800. Holiday Inn offered discounts last year, you might try there too. Sorry, I don't have that number.

Our communications officer is working on a host hotel, but no info as of yet. We have a meeting on Thursday and will try to get this resolved. The best bet for now is to go to hotels.com or orbitz.

73 are signed up so far. I'm telling you guys that no other tournament except Am Nationals and World's will you find a players pack and payouts this big! Get signed up soon, March is the cut off for the premimum players pack. I'd like to hear some feed back negative or positive. Feel free to pm as well.

BTW we have 3 new course sponsors this year. Dynamic Discs will be at Miller Park, LS Discs will be at Griffen rolling out some new apparel and other items, and Bowling Greens own Disc Golf Shop and More will be at White Park which happens to be down the road from their new shop. I know each one, as well as the other long time course sponsors, will have events scheduled for the week. You don't want to miss out. This is a great chance to check out the courses plus win some swag or cash before BG starts.

I'll try hotels.com, but I was really just trying to figure out a hotel that is convenient for all courses being played by MA1.

Best Western and Holiday Inn at the plaza are offering deals. 59.99 for BW, I think. $99 for Holiday Inn.

The Sales Director at the Courtyard by Marriott across from the Holiday Inn has a block of rooms set aside for the tournament, and the rate is $80.

To book: Call 270-783-8569 and ask for the "BG Ams disc golf" group rate.

More good news and sponsors keep rolling in. DGA is on board and will be linking events with the Sat Vibram moving day. If you win your card on Sat and receive a Vibram Putter you will be entered into the DGA putting contest that will occur on Sat night at the fly mart. You will be competing for DGA Gel strapes and special Vibram Golf Discs!!!

So what are you waiting for? Get signed up today!

FYI; I just called and reserved a room at the Super 8 motel on the North side of town by White Park and Kereiakes for $60. I used the discount on the back of my new PDGA membership card. Just call the number on the back of the PDGA card and they will give you the discounted rate of $60 instead of the $75 internet price. Thought this was a nice deal. This hotel is a little further away; but it is newer than the BestWestern and still has a hot tub.

See you all in April......

What hotels are the tourney hotels??

Thanks

Holiday Inn, Best Western, and The Courtyard by Marriott. These are all centrally located in Bowling Green and close to where the players party and fly mart will be. Here's the info for Marriott: The Sales Director at the Courtyard by Marriott across from the Holiday Inn has a block of rooms set aside for the tournament, and the rate is $80.

To book: Call 270-783-8569 and ask for the "BG Ams disc golf" group rate

Holiday inn is $99 per night and I think BW is $60.

How far is the micro because their rates are $40.
Thanks. We are not at all familiar with the area and will be coming from NC


Thanks for the help

Micro will be right off Interstate 65 on exit 22. It's convinent to the interstate but might cost you an extra 5-10 mins due to traffic. I know alot of people stay there and it's not really out of the way. You'll just need to plan for traffic. The morning drive shouldn't be bad. I'd say it's about 5-10 miles from the host hotels. Hope this helps.

Over 140 are now signed up. The players pack is starting to look sweet!!! Get signed up before March and receive the Premo players pack.

The players pack so far will have a Vibrahm putter and the new Discraft Nuke. This will be on top of Gateway and Innova. As well as the other goodies that will remain a secret for now.

More good news! Gotta go Gotta throw and phenix are now sponsors. So don't wait any longer, get signed up today.

Any idea when the baskets will be set in there tournament positions. I can't make it up the week prior to the tournament so I plan on coming up the 2nd week of March for a practice run.

Any idea when the baskets will be set in there tournament positions. I can't make it up the week prior to the tournament so I plan on coming up the 2nd week of March for a practice run.

They're set in the same position all year. About the only holes that could possible be moved at Holes 3 and 16 at Kereiakes.

Blader is correct. The TD is wanting to move those baskets after the March 13th Green Series tourney. They will be moved to the long position. As of now, they are the only two that will move. Jay if you want someone to play with when you come up, let me know. I'm available most of the time.

Thanks for the info. and I'll probably take you up on that. I have played all the courses before except for Phil Moore, but I always like having a guide. It's been 3 years since I've been there.

Huge announcement!!! Innova will be running the Big Drive competition on Thursday at Lovers Lane.

1st place will receive 20 Innova Discs of your choice with your signature on them.
2nd place will receive a disc catcher sport basket
3rd place will receive a discatcher traveler basket
4th place will receive a Discatcher mini

All BG AM players will receive a free entry.
Quailfying will be Thurs 4/8 from 10-5
Finals will be at 5pm

Can we throw our discs? Or are they providing plastic so that everyone is on an even playing fiedl, Just curious.

I think it's your own disc.

Figured as much. That's how I did it when I went to World's. I knew they provided discs in the finals showcase at the USDGC, so I wasn't sure. I should be in town just in time to throw some bombs on Thursday.

Do you have a tentative time for the distance competition on Thursday??? We are going to be traveling from NC and my man has a 600' drive and would like to compete. And is it for everyone or will their be a men's and women's??

Thanks

Happy Golfin'

Qualifying will be from 10-5 with the finals at 5.

Not sure about Men and women.

Forgot to mention, Disc Golf 365 will be broadcasting from BG AM's.

Over 180 signed up! Keep it coming in.

Big Gun

Thanks for the Big Gun post. I couldn't get the flyer on here for some reason. Thanks to Innova for once again provideing a unique prize. I wish I had the arm to win 20 custom disc.

BG open april 24th..................i wonder how money will be slipped over to that tourament?.........i bet they say none of it will,but hey ,been there none that

From what I remember talking to Chuck ALL the money goes out to the Ams this year I believe. Dont think there is going to be a pro tourney this year.april 24th BG OPEN

BG open april 24th..................i wonder how money will be slipped over to that tourament?.........i bet they say none of it will,but hey ,been there none that

The club has already decided to cut the tournament a check from their own funds, not the tournament now.

For the past 2 yrs all I hear is you complain about the tournament. Why dont you actually come up to BG and try to improve it if you think you can instead of criticizing behind a computer?

Also, nothing ever indicated with 100% certainty that there was or wasnt going to be a pro tournament. I do know initially there were no plans, until the Pro TD decided he wanted to run another event, so you might want to get off your high horse while you still can.

Kid, why do you even care? You complained about world's last year, then signed up. Let me spell it out for you; Z E R O of the BG AM money is going towards the Pro tournament. I've already stated that once on here before. I've been personally involved with handling the payout, and players pack. This will be the biggest BG payout ever! The players pack could be the best ever as well. I don't understand where the negative comments are coming from. If your not playing in the tournament, why do you even care. You should sign up, and come play. See if you can prove me wrong. Otherwise stop bashing something that you have no idea about, it makes you look like a jerk.

Dang, I wish the Long Drive competition wasn't on Thurs. Makes it hard for us in school/work...

How far is Cumberland from the Central Tourney hotels??? Thanks for all of your help. I know that those of us that are traveling out of state for this event REALLY do appreciate it!! I know I do!
If you do a seperate distance competition for the women I know I would participate. I can throw far for a female disc golfer, but not 500+!! I cap around 420'. What is the cost for the distance competition on Thursday? We have made arrangments so that my fiancee can compete. We are very excited!!
Thanks again for everything.

Happy Golfin'

Innova let us know on Friday that they will have a seperate division for women. Not sure what the prize will be. Cumberland? I'm not sure where that it is. Check with mapquest. As close to I-65 is where you want to be. Thanks for the comments.

Will, sorry about the Thurs deal. It makes sense though since the tourney starts Fri afternoon. Hopefully it will be 2 days, 3 rounds with a final 9 next year. At least that's what I'm pushing for.

Awesome!!! I can't wait!!!! What is the additional cost for the competition if any?

The flyer says Free Entry for All BG Am Participants.

Blader is correct. All BG participates have a free entry. As far as I know it is only open for BG players as well.

Hi, I sent out my registration via snail mail last week (3/2). However, the check has not cleared which makes me concerned with the March 8th deadline for the premium players' pack. Since the player list is only at 301, are there still 199 premium packs left? Or is today the final day? My registration will definitely show a postmark of early March-if that makes a difference. For the record, I am registering for Advanced Masters. Thanks, Scott 'Bernie' Burnham #23932

Cumberland Brews possibly?
That is in Louisville, Ky. Sweet
micro beer from the Derby City.

Bring your own (beer that is) to Bowling
Green. Beer selection is Sierra or worse.
Just my opinion.

Hey Bernie,

Don't worry about the premium players pack, its offered to those who register before the March 8th deadline AND the first 500 players registered. So you are in it to win it!

Correction, The deadline was March 8 online, and any snail mail postmarks dated I believe today. It was either the first 500 or March 8. Whichever came first.

Well were up to 301 and still counting. The push for 500+ continues. What are you waiting for? You won't see a players pack like this anywhere, except maybe for world's. Just got word today that Innova is adding something sweet to the players pack!!!

Get signed up!

Uh oh,

well now i'm concerned. I registered via the online on March 7th... am I still good for the premium players pack?

I NEED IT!

Bernie can't wait to see you guys. I saw that George was registered. Is John coming too?? Phil and I are looking forward to seeing some Michigan golfers!!!!

Trey- FYI off subject. Phil and i are getting a group together to go play in Charlotte either the 27th or 28th. I am taking the girls to the women's league that Casey runs and Phil is taking the boys to another course. It should be good times. Let us know if you want to go.

Yup all day. I think that it will be good times. I need to get ahold of Casey because there are about 6 or 7 girls that want to play. I am not sure what course for you boys but I think that the women's league is at sugaw. (so sorry for the poor spelling).

Happy Golfin'

I'm coming up this weekend for some practice. I noticed that there is a tournament this weekend. Is it full? What course are they using? I may try to play in that tournament Saturday and then play the other courses on Sunday. Thanks for any information.

The amateur division is filled up for this weekends tournament. Kereiakes and Hobson Grove will be closed down for the competitors to play.

Well, I guess it will be Franklin and Phil Moore Saturday. Then Kereiakes and Hobson Grove Sunday. Thanks for the information.

Uh oh,

well now i'm concerned. I registered via the online on March 7th... am I still good for the premium players pack?

I NEED IT!

If it was before March 8th, your good to go. That goes for postmarked before the 8th as well.

Wasn't there mention that if we were riding together with someone that we could get put into the same pool? :confused:

I signed up for this on March 8th so i could get the premium Players pack. But my name still isnt on the registered names list, should i be worried? Or have they not been able to update the registration page since Monday?
Not a big deal, as long as if im in the tourny and im getting the Premium Players pack!

What distance will likely win the bowling green big gun contest?

thanks.

What distance will likely win the bowling green big gun contest?

thanks.

Depends on if David Wiggins Jr. is going to compete in the distance event. I think that kid can throw like 700+ feet. If he isnt competing then I'd say 550ft. is going to be close to winning.

yea 530 or 540 won it last year

If you signed up on the 8th or before, your good for the premo players pack.

It's never been stated about people requesting the same pool. What has been said is that the PDGA will be handling the pool assignments and I believe their doing it by ratings. Plus there will be no pool shuffles. If you start out in Pool A, that is the pool you will remain in.

Bring your cash!! BG AM's will have, what I believe to be, the only second run Echo Star Kantana's with the tounament stamp. These will be a limited run and only available during players pack pick up nights and Friday night. We will also have regular star Katana's. As far as I know the only Echo Star Kantana's that are available is for the President's cup which is sold out, unless you want to pay $40+ dollars for one on ebay. Plus I think the only star Kantana's I've seen are the fundraiser's for Pro World's. We will also have Pro and Champ Kantana's.

Where are there more details on the big gun contest? I saw qualifying was from 10-5, but can you come whenever you want before five? and how many throws do you normally get?

thanks guys.

Should i be worried if i signed up on Monday and i still dont see my name on the Preregistration list? I just want to make sure they got my info.! Sorry for posting this twice, im just hoping they havent updated the list since monday.

Rock: You can show up anytime before 5 to quailfy. Not sure how many throws you get. I think last year it was 3.

Gorilla: Stop worrying, if you signed up on Monday your good to go for the premo pack. The TD works long hours so he probably hasn't had a chance to update the list.

I need to state a correction, we will not have Champ Katana's for sale just Pro, Star, and Echo Star. 2010 AM world's will be at the fly mart selling the Champ Katana fund raiser discs. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanx JAr, its my first big tourny out of town, so i just want "all my ducks lined up" before i get there and find out im a spectator becauze you guys didnt receive my payment! So sorry for asking so much!
And i completely understand the TD has an actual job that he has to work, so i was just seeing if anyone else knew if it was updated or not. No big deal!
Thanx for keeping us out of towners updated on all the info. its a big help!

Each thrower is allotted 5 throws per turn in 2 minutes or less. Throwers are welcome to get back in line as many times as they like. Throws are measured where they first contact the ground. Foot faulted throws are disqualified. Top 4 throws plus ties at 5pm make the finals.

No worries Gorilla. Glad to have you on board. Let me know what your name and PDGA number are.

Thanks for the info ZRC. That sounds alot better then how I described it.

Click on that little blue line that says player stats for anyone on the discussion board and you'll get your answer. Of course for me it's a non issue as my name is my name. :)

I am really excited about the event. This will be our biggest tourney that we have ever played ( as far as the number of golfers playing) .

Thanks for all the help and we will see you in about a month!

Thanks for the info Keith.

Gorilla boy: The TD has not had a chance to do the update but will get to it soon. Sorry for the inconvinence, I spoke with him today and he is going to try and get it done this weekend.

I'd like to say thanks to everyone that has signed up. Right now were working on food for the players party/flymart for all BG players. This will be provided to the players in their players pack in the form of a ticket.

Innova has announced that they will be provideing a moisture wicking shirt with a nice BG logo on the shirt in the players pack.

Thanks for the info Keith.

Trying to plan some things for my family to do in Bowling Green while I'm playing disc golf. I'll have my wife, 4yr old, and 8yr old with me. Are there any suggestions for things they can do while in town. We will be staying at the Hilton Garden Inn near city center. The closer the better for them. thanks.

There's the Corvette Museum. That's one of the biggest attractions there. Might be others the locals can suggest.

After hitting this event four straight years, I'm glad to be returning after missing it in 2009. This players' pack is looking super sweet, guys.

Lost river cave should be open. It's in BG and you can take a boat ride through the cave. Check out this web address:

Glad Dubya mentioned this. Just an added bonus to come and play early at BG AMS. Plus this gives the pool/divisions that aren't playing Hobson a chance to play one of the oldest best courses in the world. This tournament is already listed on the PDGA.

See ya soon.

Thanks for the tips guys. Luckily the hotel has an indoor pool that should keep the rugrats quiet for a while. Lost River cave sounds pretty cool, they may check that out. I guess Bowling Green isn't quite the metropolis my wife assumed it was. She's used to the hustle and bustle of Atlanta.

I just wanted to say a quick 'preciate ya to the TD and staff. Sounds like BG Am's will be a blast. Thanks for all of your hard work.

NP Jay. If they want to make the drive, Nashville is only about an hour away.

How many signed up so far?

How many signed up so far?

350 so far. I think the Rec/JR pool is close to being full.

Just got some more players pack stuff in today and it looks sweet!

Get signed up ASAP!!!

I think my wife decided to take a day trip to Nashville. Hopefully I can find a ride that day.

So how many left to fill Advanced? How many Pools will Advanced be divided into? I know there are 4 courses and 4 possible pools including Advanced Masters.

I know that the economy is crappy and everyone is doing whatever they can to save a penny. Well I found a promo code to save $50.00 if you book your hotel thru Orbitz. The stay has to be 3 days or more, but heck $50.00! It's kind of like paying for 2!

Promo Code: RESTCOM50

It expires 4/30/10. If I find any other decent discounts I will post.

Happy Golfin' and safe travels,


audi

So how many left to fill Advanced? How many Pools will Advanced be divided into? I know there are 4 courses and 4 possible pools including Advanced Masters.

I'm not sure how many spots are left in Adv. I think there are 4 pools of 72 available. 3 pools for Int and one for Rec/Jr. So there should be plenty of room for the Adv field. Good question and I'll check on it.

On a sad note, Rec will have to play Lovers and White on the same day. The reason is if Phil moore gets rained out the the Adv pool will get switched from Phil Moore to Lovers. Int and Rec will get switched from Lovers to Chelbyte.

Just got more of the players pack stuff in. So know we have half of the stock and I'm out of room in the garage. Storage unit here I come!

Will this affect the Advanced Grandmaster pools? Lovers is my favorite course and I don't care for Chalybeate. But I'll play just the same. ;-)

I'll have to check on that. For right now it looks like the weather here will be mild for at least the next 10 days. Rain is suspected for four days out of the next ten, but it's spaced out. So there should be some time for it to settle.

I'll find out ASAP.

haha. Oops. Didnt realize Jason already posted it. :) Just read back in the thread. And yes to the 2 different teams question. If you play on the same team more than once than you only have to pay $10 per team after the first round but if you switch teams around then it's $20 as it's that teams first round. I figured it would be cool to allow people the chance to play more rounds or switch partners if they were unhappy with their other rounds.

Grand Masters will play the same courses as INT and REC.

I also want to clarify something. Food will be provided on FRIDAY NIGHT only. Due to logistical issues we simply do not have the room on Sat night. Sorry for any confusion.

To get this out of the way, the top 40% in each division will be paid out. The exception will be womens in which the TD will try to go deeper then 40%, more like the top half.

Pre-reg for BG Ams Warmup at Hobson Grove is now up at www.poorboydiscs.com, about 20 registrations have come in so far and we will update the player list in the next week or so

You forget JD I grew up south of Nashville where the weather almost has the same tendencies. Not quite as extreme but pretty close. BG can be crazy at times, wasn't it just in the 70's a couple of weeks ago? Will see how the weather shapes up in two weeks.

Question regarding players packs at BG Ams...
Cant wait to see and try the Ninja. Will it be in the players package at BG or just available for purchase there?

Were hoping that it will be in the players pack. If it's not then I doubt it will be available for sale. I know Gateway is hard at work to get it out.

Gateway is working constantly to perfect the mold, but it is very difficult, as are all wide wings drivers. He's also trying to debut his new Scout midrange.

This question has been answered, but I'm too lazy to scroll back and find it, so I'm asking again. For those of us that are coming into town in the late afternoon Thursday, where do we go to check in and collect player's packs? Thanks, can't wait.

Still drooling over the CFR TeeBird+ discs. I want mine now!!!

Forgot to mention the CFR Glow Teebird+.

I was also asked about discs being sold out before Thursday or Friday.

We will only set out a certain number each night at the check in for sells. This is to give everyone a chance to get their hands on some limited edition discs. On Friday night all discs will be available and it will be the final night for sales. This is to not create competition for the flymart sponsors.

For those of us coming from out of state for this and aren't familiar with the area. Can we please have addresses.

Also is there a set schedule where and when everything is going to be held or is there one central page I can find that on? We don't want to miss anything!!! :)

Thanks Audi for posting the pools. Sorry I was a little ignorant on the pool assignments.

For everyone that is coming please try and visit some of the course sponsors and thank them for being present. They are all offering some great deals for doubles. I can't really say who has the best because they range from awesome players packs to awesome payouts. Just a recap of who will be here at which parks:

Dynamic Discs- Preston Miller Park pools E-H
LS Discs- Basil Griffen Park pools E-H
Sun King Discs- Lovers Lane and Keriekus Pools E-H and Pools A-D
Poor Boy XC Tier event- Hobson Groove- Pools A-D
Disc Golf Shop and More Green Series (Local company)- White Park Pools E-H
HB Clark disc golf designs and AT&T series- Phil Moore Pools A-D

On top of everything that has been going on, we already have at least one major sponsor for next year. Several other companies have already contacted me about sponsorship for next year as well. Thanks in advance to everyone who will be coming!

I'm getting extremely pumped for this tournament. It's the 3rd time I'm coming and hopefully the best. Any word on where the Final 9 will be held at yet? Thanks.

Not quite yet. What were thinking at this point is to use riverview as a starting point and playing some safari holes at Hobson. There's also something special for the ones that make it to the final 9. Can't say what it is yet.

We do have a small hiccup with the players pack. The nukes will not be here till next week but we should have them all by Thurs or Friday. If you don't get one you will receive a coupon to receive yours before you leave BG. So no worries!

Just got the discs in from Innova that we will be selling during check in and on Friday night. We have a ton of specially tournament stamped disc:
Echo Star Katana- Limited number
Star Katana- Limited number
Pro Katana- Limited number
Echo Star Mako- Limited number
Assorted Champ Glow disc
XG Champ Boss
Star Roc+ one of the hottest disc on the market!
Champion Katana

Do you know what the prices for the above will be or is that yet to be determined? The last thing I want to do is so up in BG without enough to buy my discs. I mean after all it isnt like I have enough already. LOL (recovering disc-a-holic)

B,

I'm glad that you've taken the first step in admitting you have an addiction, I do to. That will be determined by this weekend but most likely were looking at $15-$20 per disc. If you plan on $20 then you should have some extra cash left over to buy more!

We will also have some extra BG Innova moisture wicking shirts and BG T-shirts for sale.

Do you know when you'll be updating pre-reg? I pre-reged three days ago but it has not been updated since.

Do you know that you have three players pre-reged for lower divisions that are rated too low for those divisions? I checked to see if they were good under the "recent ratings update" rule. They are not. I sent the names to an e-mail address associated with the tournament but did not receive a response. I understand it is crunch time for a big event like this. I don't need a response. If you need the names again, I could look again.

List has been updated.

This tournament has been running
very smooth for years now. You all
are doing a great job.

We have had several questions coming in about the BG Am's warmup at Hobson, although you are able to register online it is not mandatory and you can sign up any time the day of or friday before noon. The warmup will be broken down by division, so players will be playing against others at their skill level not against the entire field. There will be a prize payout with roughly $10of each entry going to the payout which will be vouchers redeemable from Poor Boy Discs at the flymart or at Hobson throughout the weekend. Anything I didn't cover please continue to call and ask, see everyone next week, it is going to be great...

These are the two remaining players signed up for a division for which they are not eligible:

Recreational:

CHARLES ADAMS 38886 Yes 901 Bowling Green KY USA
901 rated since October 20, 2009

ANDY DOBELSTEIN 14116 919 Bowling Green KY USA
Rated 919 since sometime in 2009

Unless being from Bowling Green is an exception to the PDGA ratings-based divisional format.

Thanks for letting me know I am not the only recovering disc-a-holic and thanks for the pricing update I really appreciate. Love this tourney and how awesome a weekend you all make it out to be. Cant wait!

giving out rain for opening day :mad:

I'm glad Bruce is in charge of the BG AMs this year....maybe the ams will get crazy hats in their players packs!!

Let the TD"s take care of it, and worry about your game.....

Peace

I'm glad Bruce is in charge of the BG AMs this year....maybe the ams will get crazy hats in their players packs!!

Let the TD"s take care of it, and worry about your game.....

Peace
When they do, I will. It is just a little strange that the recreational division is full with local intermediates and out-of-town rec players have to sign up for intermediate.

ha, just messing with you......the td....the club....the pdga....the players in question....are all aware of this situation. The players in question are going through a pdga petition, for various reasons, to find out if they can drop down to rec.

If you would like to be involved in that decision making as well, please contact Dave Gentry at the PDGA.

No reason calling out td's and players in wrong divisions when you don't have proper information, and it's really none of your concern...save that for the court room, council:)

see you and your epic hat in BG!!

How is this different from any other tournament?

But to answer your question, two rec players were waiting on a decision from the PDGA to see if they could play in the rec division. Why you ask? One had a severe injury that in the past HAS allowed PDGA approval to play down. One player had one or two high round ratings ever, thus he had an inflated rating. Case in point, last year an adv player had one round rating, 975, coming into BG. The PDGA said that he could play in INT, he chose to play in ADV where he was crushed. The third player your referring to is somewhat of a casual player and has not been current with the PDGA since '09. The TD did not know his rating until he signed up for the PDGA. He is also not a "local." BG is following the PDGA protocol as has the 80+ other tournaments that I've been to. It was made very clear in the beginning what the cap was for the Rec division. If someone procrastinated, as disc golfers do, to sign up and could not get into their desired division we cannot be blamed.

These problems are being worked on and the TD verified today that he has responded to all email's.

So far this year we have had positive vibes on this board, let's continue that. If anyone has a problem or concern send me a PM. I will answer it within a timely manner.

Today is the last day for reg. If you want in today is the day to do it. For those of you that are coming down, at least 450, THANK YOU!!! Chuck has put a lot of time and effort into this tournament and you will not be disappointed!

Thanks for letting me know I am not the only recovering disc-a-holic and thanks for the pricing update I really appreciate. Love this tourney and how awesome a weekend you all make it out to be. Cant wait!

Right now it's looking like:

All CFR Glow and CFR Champ Katana's will be $17

All Tourney stamped Star disc will be $15-$20

Most likely this means the Star and Echo Star Katana's will be $20 as well as the Star Roc+.

Bruce I replied to your PM. Please contact me ASAP through PM.

I would hope the PDGA would not approve the request for a 919 rated player (from Bowling Green) to play down in the Recreational division. There are only 19 players in the 139 player Intermediate division that are rated higher than him!! Of course we don't have access to the stats (as he is not PDGA current), so we can't see if the rating is a fluke or not.


In my experience, the PDGA only approves division dropping when the rating is within a few points of the cut-off and there are other circumstances.

The 919 player was not the one in question. He's already been moved to the Int division. The one that was in question due to a severe injury is still being determined by the PDGA and I believe his rating was more like 905 or 909. I know that I played in one event where a guy was rated 920 with a cast still on his leg that was allowed to play rec. He crushed the rec field with a cast.

Wow, what a jump in registration and still the rest of the day to go! Very nice, BG! Looking forward to arriving Friday afternoon for the first round, then on to get some of those Champion Katanas!

see you and your epic hat in BG!!What division did your 880 rated daughter want to play that is full with players rated too high fior that division? It is not much of my concern, but certainly more mine than yours.

Note to self: Bring funny hats.

I've seen your daughter play....trust me, she is much better than that 919 player you mentioned in rec.....he has just started playing again after a long long layoff....he might have a total of 5 tournaments under his belt since 1999...lol

come check out our new store when you get to town...I hope she gets in

peace, love, and Big Shots!!

Bruce your 880 daughter smoked me and several others at the Harbin rat. I think she may be ready for adv women. Plus now there is only one player rated above 900 in rec that has approval from the PDGA to play in Rec. Now please understand that I'm not trying to be rude but, the rec division was still open 2 weeks ago. Registration has been open since January so there has been plenty of time to get in on the division of your choice. With that being said the TD is still going to check if it's possible to get her in Rec. Be sure you say hi when you check in, I'll be there all week. I'd also like to know about that dye job for cat in the hat.

I need to get this out there for all who are keeping tabs.

Please be sure when checking in to check your bag for the correct items. I will have a list of what should be in your players pack. I either counted wrong when setting out the players pack premo items or missed a couple, notice I said a couple. If you walk away without checking your bag there's nothing I can or will do about it the next day. The reason is I don't want someone coming to me two days later saying they didn't get something when they did. I have an est of how many were left out, and yes I was near perfect with a 1% failure rate. Nonetheless I DON'T want someone getting short changed on their players pack. We worked hard to get it, and you paid good money to receive it.

Also check your shirt size, if it's wrong you can switch it out anytime during the tourney.

Can you say yet what the sequence of courses will be played by A pool etc?

thanks!

Which divisions are having a (dreaded) Final 9 holes? Which divisions are not having a Final 9 ? I say dreaded as I have about 8 hours to drive home Sunday night. In my lame opinion, the lowest score obtained for 72 holes over 3 days is a very worthy accomplishment. I don't know who benifits from a Final 9 after 72 holes in a Am only tournament. These words are spoken from an old man getting older faster than he really wants to be.

Thanks.

BG all the way.

in my opinion the more golf the better
i have to take off work to play so i wanna play
all i can but thats my opinion

and i was at this tourney last year and
the final nine was awesome probally the
best part of the tourney just wished id played
better to make the cut for it

Guys, come on!. This will be the first time back there in a few yrs. I was hurt all last year. I love the idea, 1 round fri, 2 rounds sat., and 1 round sun, with final 9. I like final 9 with this format. Can U be there to showcase!

Peace,

PS it is almost like a pro tourny but CATERED(sp) to the AMs.

Night!

If anybody is in town wednesday, we will have a Chamber Ribbon Cutting Wednesday at 4pm. We will have an inflatable speed pitch radar gun set up......stop by to see how fast you can throw a disc!!

I think feldberg and a few others have the record of 72mph.....if anybody knows about a faster speed.....let me know.

Stop by anytime Thursday for a free gift, and epic chocolate cake!!

"We are on the same page. Just so that we could have directions printed out ( to courses from hotel, etc.) before we left on wednesday."

The program will have directions and addresses to the courses.

"when will we no who plays in what pool? would

The PDGA will be assigning pools by Tuesday, I think.

84 mph for me... NOT!!!

I'm pleased to announce that HUK Lab is on board. They will have a fly mart table and I believe they are adding stickers to the players pack. What I'm really excited about is that they are adding something special to the womens players pack, sorry fellows. He wanted to do more but I dropped the ball in getting in contact with him in a timely manner.

If the ladies could please go by their fly mart table on Sat and say thanks it would be appreciated. I think Liz Carr will be running the table. I'm jeoulsy of what Huk Lab is providing.

ADV, ADV Masters, INT, REC, Pretty sure ADV Women not sure about the other women divisions.

Not Advanced GRANDMaster? That division has the same, maybe one more player, than Advanced Master. Just curious. So long as we know going in, it's all good.

LOL! You're probably right, Steve! I've been trying to practice for this one, but I'll probably be ready to spectate after Sunday's round! I'd probably be watching the other old guys play THEIR final! Weather looks good, so that will be on less excuse for not performing!

Thanks Bruce. I remember you from the 2004 Worlds. I'll look ya up.

Hey Jack, you guys be careful driving up.

Russ C.

Russ watch out for that guy Ernie, he's a bagger and a half.

Hey Bruce, do your girls take dad's advice or do they know it all now? ;-) Have a safe trip down from Michigan.

rWc3523

Drive safe everyone - I'll be pulling out of Lexington in the morning.

Leaving first thing in the morning. Should arrive by lunch. My first trip to Bowling Green to play. Can't wait! Gonna be an awesome weekend!

You have a chance of rain tomorrow, but Friday through Sunday will be some of the best weather for a BG Ams. I've played in some nasty conditions at this event, but this is going to be sweet. James, we're in the Red Roof Inn on Scottsdale Road. Sweet PDGA Discount! You'll want to come back next year!

We're packing tonight to leave tomorrow early. Printing the maps and such.

I should have mentioned this earlier, but maps will not be needed for the courses. We have a great program this year with maps, directions, and addresses.

I would like to apologize in advance. The last couple of days we've had difficulties with the players packs. I'm hoping to have that resolved tonight. The problem has been finding the right one so I have not been able to get people in and out in a timely manner. I hope to break that chain tonight.

is the players pack individualized with our names on them
last year we just went threw a line and they handed us one of everything
