this is gonna be cool.
hooray for Cris Hicks and staff!!!!!

The flyer states charity event for the Tulsa SPCA but I'm wondering if this could be a secret conspiracy on the part of Hicks and the TDSA to raise public funds to have me neutered.:(

Hey Cris am I reading this right? No fee for non members? And yes Furdog I would be very afraid...

This tournament sounds awesome.

Hey Cris am I reading this right? No fee for non members?

.
.
... that would be correct ... the "Pro/Am by LS Discs" has a somewhat-similar non-member / non-fee option ...

Charity Competition Endowment Program from the PDGA, one of the better things I've seen the org do in awhile

charity must be a 501c3
$2 PDGA C Tier Fee donated to charity, must be matched by event
25% of entry must be donated to charity

this allows the option of no $10 non-member fee (TD may charge and donate also if they wish)

pretty cool program to allow a charity event to get sanctioned - same program I've utilized for to sanction the Ft. Smith Ice Bowl - all required from the PDGA is normal sanctioning fee ($50) plus you can get the insurance for 50 more if required/wanted

http://www.pdga.com/files/documents/2009CompetitionEndowmentProgram-Details.pdf

LS Discs event is offering a "Casual Division" - non sanctioned div., not a bad idea to attract new players with a low entry that wouldn't care about ratings, ect.

.. .Evan 'nailed it' ... Hicks' tourney in May covers all-divisions (like Evan's Icy Bowl) ... the LS Discs tourney in April has one 'special' Division (casual) offered to enter-and-compete for non-pdga-addl-fee ...

We just made the next PDGA ad LOL! Yep, I have checked it out... Gotta love it! Are you NON current players reading this? Get in while you can!

The Am Jam team is drumming up sponsorship for the tournament!

News flash: Hobbytown USA at 71st and Memorial is the presenting sponsor for the tournament. They have a great inventory of discs - pay them a visit and be sure to thank James or Ellen for their support of the Am Jam.

The Oklahoma Disc Golf Foundation has also thrown down some cash, and is the first Ace Sponsor.

Here are some sponsorship levels that are still available (and the perks that go with them):

$200 Ace Sponsor: Full page recognition in program. Banner displayed at tournament site. Booth or table at tournament headquarters. Name/logo on back of t-shirt.

$100 Birdie Sponsor: Half page recognition in program. Booth or table at tournament headquarters. Name/logo on back of t-shirt.

$50 Par sponsor: Recognition in program. Name/Logo on back of t-shirt.

$20 Am Jam Friend: Recognition in program

Come on! You know you want your name on that t-shirt! And you pros could set up a table and sell signed, autographed photos, highlight dvds, and collectors item discs! You can't play in the tournament, but maybe you could still make some cash at your booth.

Support the Am Jam. I predict that in 2015 it will draw more players than Bowling Green! This is going to be a first class event.

Jim is doing a great job on getting us sponsors for the Tulsa Am Jam and I have had people from Dallas telling me they are coming in for this tournament, so I am very excited to kick this thing off!
I also visited the Tulsa Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals shelter in North Tulsa before making them the charity for this event and I can tell you personally that they are doing good work on saving abused and neglected dogs and cats. They gave me a tour of their facilities and were over joyed that we (disc golfers) were going to help their shelter. This is a win win situation if you are an amateur disc golfer.
Also be sure and make Dave Wise' all amateur one day tourney, The Centennial Cup, on May 1st. If you know Dave, you know he will make it worth your while for coming out and playing.

� Cris-o � you Champion Pro Master-o � check your e-mail-o � kick-me-back some detail-o � thankin� yo �

Cris, people are askin' - where is the sign-up? Hunter?

... yesterday , he wuz mulling that over ...

"I predict that in 2015 it will draw more players than Bowling Green!"

If only the world wasn't ending in 2012.... :)

I will be taking sign ups on Friday at McClure from 5pm to 9pm across from hole 17 (MC's front yard). Big Nic's Friday night doubles will also be held there that night (8:15pm sign up).
The order of play will be Haikey (sign ups that morning from 7:30am to 8:15am), Hunter Saturday, then Dovillio and McClure for the final rounds on Sunday. The TSPCA will be out at McClure at lunch time on Sunday with animals for potential adoption (I think Furdog needs a pal).
We have HobbyTown USA as our presenting sponsor and other sponsors include The Oklahoma Disc Golf Foundation, TDSA, The Line, Twisted Flyer, and Wayne Forest.
Now we can only hope that the world doesn't end on 2012, or if it is then make sure you get in this year or next!
Online sign ups at pdga.com. First 50 players to sign up will recieve a tournament t-shirt.
Cris

Sunday. The TSPCA will be out at McClure at lunch time on Sunday with animals for potential adoption (I think Furdog needs a pal).

Don't try and Buffalo me buddy. I know there is a conspiracy going on in the TDSA to have me neutered so I will shut up and just stand around and stare at everyone.:eek:

Big Nic's Friday night Singles will also be held there that night (8:15pm approx. tee-time)


.

... gotchya corrected above ...

I was out at haikey briefly on Sunday and they had freshly mowed the park.. it looked beautiful... and I only played the first four holes (the ones that are normally wet'n muddy).

This got me thinking, when is the next time you can play this sweet course in a tournament format???

TULSA AM JAM... not only that, but there are already multiple sponsors contributing to this tournament. AM ONLY means this will be a treat to all of the amateur players in the surrounding area!

Don't let it sneak up on you and just at the last second have to make other plans... SIGN UP NOW ... http://www.pdgasignup.com/Qstore/Qstore.cgi?CMD=011&PROD=1269369391 ... that way when someone asks you what you are doing on May 15 and 16th... you can respond with "playing is the first ever (of many to come) Tulsa Am Jam!"

How cool would that be... in 15 years when all the new up and coming players are just getting involved with the biggest AM event in the midwest, you could say... yeah.. I remember the very first one!

GET PRE'REGGED!!!

Thanks Paul

... yes , Paul ... very well put ...

Thanks for the plug Paul and for backing up your interest in this event. Paul is paying for an entry into the Tulsa Am Jam to be given away at Dave's event The Centennial Cup this weekend (another all am event). So be sure and make it out to Owasso this Saturday.
Also Jason Schwake is providing a free entry into the Jeremy Martin Memorial tourney in OKC to be given away at the Tulsa Am Jam. So thanks to both those guys!
Sponsors keep coming for the Am Jam which now also include: Dr. Jim, Mike Treat, and Tom's Bicycles. It should be a good one!

Who won the entry into this event at Centennial this weekend? That was a great donation Dorries, I was really wanted to win that...You should have donated your services as a caddy....wait, scratch that...If you kicked my bag I might get upset;)

Sorry to miss this one but Valerie my youngest daughter is graduating from OU that Saturday and I will be in Norman to see her get her first two degrees have fun at the jam!:D

Despite me being an OSU grad I will say congratulations to Valerie and kind of like a hallmark card moment I will say "cherish the moment". See you at the next Tulsa Am Jam unless you got more daughters graduating next year.

So we get to play Haikey Creek Park Saturday morning...sweet! I'm so looking forward to playing the new layout of this course in competition...
I think if I manage to par hole 6 your all in trouble! And I will par it Saturday! or at least in my dreams on Friday night!:D

Duff, Like I tell Mike and Norm...
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while :):):)
That hole sets up great for you Duff I am sure you will be fine ;)
Good luck to all the Ams this Week at the Am Jam
Looks like I will be down to help out
D.P.

Glad you are going to be able to help out Dale, thanks!

Players' meeting at 9:30am and 1st round at Haikey at 10am. Everyone will need to check in to get their players pack (tourney shirt to 1st 50 players and everyone will receive a DX Roc) and program/rules/sponsor sheet.
We will also be video taping this tourney and plan to get everyone in the tourney on film. We will be selling $5 videos with the money going to next years Am Jam. We will take orders this weekend if you want a video and can mail you one if you live out of town.
The Tulsa Society for Provention of Cruelty to Animals will have their RV out at McClure Park from 12:30pm to 2pm with dogs and cats that are available for adoption (you might not be able to adopt that day, I'm not sure of their screening process).
Good luck to everyone this weekend!

WELL EFFIN DONE on the 1002 GAAAAWY dirty baskets robbed my 1k :)

and had there been more higher rated players there, it would be safe to say that 1002 would probably be 1020... -5 is so solid out there on that layout

that was a very well run event, thanks to all who showed up to play and those who helped out. it was a really great tourney. spread the word about the 200% payout! this tourney should be very well stacked for years to come and hopefully only get better.

Thanks again to all the players that made it out to the first Tulsa Am Jam. We didn't get rained on, it looked like everyone had fun, and you all helped donate $520 to the Tulsa Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals! That's a good weekend in my book.
The tournament paid out $3,402 worth of merchandise, giving the players (like Paul said) over a 200% pay out. Here are the sponsors that helped make that possible:
HobbyTown USA, Oklahoma Disc Golf Foundation, Dr. Jim, TDSA, The Line, The Lodge & Jeremy Taylor, Treat and Family, Furdog & Lil' Moose, Twisted Flyer, Joel Woody & Crow Creek Tavern, Cool Daddy Slick Breeze, Wayne Forest, Westport Apartments, Tom's Bicycles, Paul Dorries, Jason Scwake, Dave Wise, Dale Patterson, Tony "Sky" Walker, and Bill "Slim" Moyers.
Most of all I would like to thank my staff for making this tourney run so smoothly and making me look so good on my first try as a TD! They are: Jose' Mendoza (if you played in any of his events in the past you know why this one was on time and well run - he was for all intensive purposes my co-TD) and his family Rebecca, Connor, and Miranda, my wife Mary Beth (always supportive), Wayne Forest (always helping disc golf in our area), Michael Treat, Dale Patterson, Dan Bougher, Paul Dorries, John & Carla Barton, Gary Nail (for taking some great pictures), and Doug Dough (thanks for lending us your generator).
I will keep people posted on when the DVD is coming out. Let's make this even bigger and better next year!
