Just starting thread, the ad in the last magazine was correct, but the dates on the tour calendar are wrong...

event is on March 26 and 27, and kicks off the TEXAS SWING, four consecutive weeks of huge events in TEXAS!!!

Victoria Open will be played on the traditional course and also the Fox Run course on the other side of the park. We will be posting maps and distances soon...

This event will be on TITLEDISC and registration will open on or around February 1st. With the two courses we are capping this event at 160 players, 80 in pool a (pro pool) and 80 in the b pool (amateurs). We understand the fact that the b pool is gonna fill up quick and some will be left out, on March 15 we could be adding some ams to the a pool, I know that brings up some questions, but both pools will be full at the event. If there are a lot of spots in the a pool, we could move advanced, advanced women and/or advanced master into pool a.WE WILL NOT BE DOING ANY REGISTRATION THE DAY OF THE EVENT!!!

Riverside has been doing lots of work on both courses. They also are working on some awesome players packs.

more info to come...

getting lots of calls, tournament is on titledisc, but we arent enabling registration until february 1st.

man i can't wait for this one!!!

Who from 3C is going up there anytime soon to play a Sunday mini up there? Let me know

Riversides sunday mini is at 9am, done by noon, back to corpus in time for the west guth 3pm mini. ROADTRIP!!!

for those paying attention, you can now register for the vic open at titledisc.com.

Here is the link to the registration site: <a href="http://www.titledisc.com/node/4453">2011 Vic Open</a>

I forgot to mention that online registration is required to get in the Vic Open.

Only 130 slots remaining....

couple of world champs recently registered...

I noticed that some folks are waiting until the last minute to sign up. This can lead to the possibility that you will not get on the list. Please keep in mind that this tournament at any moment will fill up. This is the longest running event in Texas on one of the best courses in Texas. Just to let ya'll know a little bit about the Fox Run course it is longer than what last years course was. We have it both technical and long. Not technical like Ingleside Red Course, but technical non the less. The course will be available to play the week preceding the tournament. Don't wait until then to sign up though cause you will not get a spot. We ARE NOT taking registration the week of the event so "get'er dun"

Is there a mail-in form, or is titledisc online the only way to register?

As the Texas State CO I would guess that you should know where to find a players list for an event but in the chance that you forgot how to find it please follow this link: http://www.pdga.com/tournament_results/62473

Just kidding with you Scott, congratulations on the appointment. BTW, I don't see you on the registration list yet. What are you waiting for?

I knew where the list was, that was my way of encouraging you to post the link, each time you have an update, in the thread someone lazy like me can just click the link versus having to click the schedule link, then find the right date, then find the tourney ... you get the idea.

Not sure if I can play, gotta a little girl at home now :D

less than 100 spots available...

Count me in i will pay via titledisc on the march 1st, also put down sean rose -adv and daniel temple - adv

Thanks for the help Mr. Chesterson! Congrats on the new member of your family!

Here is an updated players list. We are at 55 now

http://www.pdga.com/tournament_results/62473

To Ione Maldonado, Joshua Dufrane, Mark mhwalkabout Hamilton you need to join the PDGA! Those of you that are not current you need to renew before the event (this includes me and me-wife!). YOU/I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY AN A-TIER EVENT if you are not a member of the best-est organization in the world, well besides 3rd Coast that is! Thank you in advance!

Paying almost $500 in entries months before these upcoming events is tough......heck paying $150 for entries this weekend is tough enough.

I will sign up but not until after Red Rock.

Are you aware that the Vic Open is March 26th and 27th? If you wait until after the Red Rock Show you might not get in. Then again I am not sure when red rock is. I don't see it on the calendar.

they might not know about this thread on the PDGA message board if they don't even have a membership number.

Mike can you please move me to the Pro Grand Masters Division, someone put me in the Masters. Thank You.

my bad, u will be in the right division on our next update, sorry...

lots of exciting things coming together!

the ish's are paid!! 35612 - 44943

Thanks Mike, and if we do not get any more Grand Masters I'm sure that we will play Masters

i plan on signing up next week.

bill, i'll tell ione about joining the pdga.

B pool is filling up fast....
reminder, March 15th we will possible adding more am spots to the tournament, which means putting some ams, advanced, adv masters or adv women, may be going to a pool A. Pros, you need to get signed up, not guaranteeing much after march 15?

Change in format, pool B will be playing the original Riverside course twice and Fox Bend once, that is it, three rounds of 18, 54 holes. Pool A will be playing four full rounds, two rounds at each course.

Schedule, (tentative) Wednesday nite, 5pm Pro clinic/meet and greet, details coming soon... 6pm Nite golf mini, Lunar lunecy, 9 to 12 fun nite golf holes...
Friday, March 25 Mixed Doubles- Fox Bend 10am til 2 pm sign up, must have at least two teams per card.
Regular, bring your parter doubles begins 1pm until 5pm-Riverside course, doubles hosted by Riverside disc golf...
Saturday, 9am players meeting
Pool A Fox Bend 945 am Pool B Riverside 945 am
Pool A Riverside 2pm Pool B Fox Bend 2pm
sunday March 27
Pool A Fox Bend 9am Pool B Riverside 9 am (final round)
Pool A Riverside 130pm (final round)
Final results posted pool B, approx. 3pm
Awards ceremony approximately 430 pm

Why the change in format to 3 rounds for pool B?

I would hope that the Adv and Adv Masters move to pool A if that is the case.

i thought riverside was 21 holes? which ones are being skipped?

Riverside is 18, they ussually add an A, B and C hole for the tournament when they don't use Fox Bend.

i've never seen it that way. i thought 11a, 15a & 15b were part of the permanent course. Complete with concrete tees and all.

This year holes 15B, 15c and 15 are the first three holes of the Fox Bend course. That leaves the remaining 18 holes, including 11a as your Riverside course.
Holes with alternate placements will be in the short position on Saturday and in their longest positions on Sunday. Fox Bend holes will remain the same except for perhaps hole 3 (15).

Mike / Bill get with me on the EMAIL I sent you all

Riverside course is actually 21 holes, this includes 11a, 15b and 15c, all permanent holes. We will not be skipping any holes. When you play the Riverside course, after playing holes 14, you go to hole 16. 15b, 15c and 15 are holes 1,2 and 3 of the Fox Bend, that means holes #4 to #18 are in the Fox Bend portion of the park. 6 of the holes are the same, but there are a few surprises, to include lots of ob string and mandos. The total distances of both courses are surprisingly similar.

My bad, it has been a couple of years since I have been there. I guess I am still old school when it come to Riverside.

Looking forward to getting back down there and playing.

ob string and mandos? ...sweet! ...crap! ...either way, thanks for the heads up mike!!!

If anyone here knows Mark Hamilton please let him know that he needs to join the PDGA ASAP. Thank you.

i plan on signing up next week.

bill, i'll tell ione about joining the pdga.

Thanks for passing the word to Ione for me. For your great deed I added you to the list.

Bill- mr hamilton joined pdga....
Less than 10 slots left in pool B....

What about Hotel/Motel information? Are there any recommended places or places offering a discount for players?

is camping allowed again this year? i'm sure it's an obvious answer, but i want to make sure. got a car full coming from san antonio

camping is allowed in the park for all weekend, there are a few choice camping spots, get with a local for the best spot

host hotel is looking like the Quality Inn, I will post more info tomorrow...

pool b is almost full

What about Hotel/Motel information? Are there any recommended places or places offering a discount for players?

The Quality Inn will be the host hotel for the tournament. They have reserved 20 rooms for us until March 19th. Their regular rate is 84.99 per night, but for 3/25 and 3/26 if you mention discgolf tournament when you register you will receive a rate of $65 per night.

Lots going on in Victoria tournament weekend, so rooms will be a bit of a challenge to find. Reserve your room now at 361 578-2030.

B pool is almost full, will not be taking amateur registrations until March 15th...

Juniors will not be included in either pool, we are setting up two 13 hole rounds so they can get a round rating. They will be playing during lunchtime and possibly after 2nd round.

Amateur registration for this event is currently closed on titledisc. The number of pros that register between now and March 15, will detemine whether we open the pool A for an amateur division, but currently we are not taking anymore amateur registrations.

call mike at 361 947-2498 if you have any issues...

A final change for pool B.... the top half of each division in pool B, will compete in a final 9 holes on the Fox Bend course, while the pool A completes their final round on Riverside.

Pool A- Pro divisions- 33 spots remaining

Pool B- Amateurs- 73 golfers, pool is full....

email [email protected] if you would like to be on the waiting list for amateurs only.

We will have some limited edition Nukes as well as some full colored minis. Might even find some first run Vulcans???

Calling all you Pros! Where is the kid, brad, olse, etc........... We are waiting to see if you have what it takes in Vic! Come on down.

Last ams in, Daniel Temple- Int and Smokey Valdez- Am Master...

Waiting list is 5 people deep, beginning with Neal Martinez....

Titledisc is only accepting pro and junior entries at this time...

Calling all you Pros! Where is the kid, brad, olse, etc........... We are waiting to see if you have what it takes in Vic! Come on down.

Trying to spread out the amount of entries we have to pay at once. Like I said before paying for 3-4 events at one time is difficult for some of us.

Brad and I should be signing up Monday or Tuesday.

any chance of getting a fox map up early (with distances)? i'm sure it won't do the course justice, but i've only seen it once many years ago and now it's different. with mandos and ob and all thay scary stuff.

Posted January 17th...Victoria Open will be played on the traditional course and also the Fox Run course on the other side of the park. We will be posting maps and distances soon...

Gonna try to head out there to see these courses for the first time this wednesday. Any chance on this happening before then?

25 in open and there are only 3 spots left for an A tier?


Yea, what's the deal? You guys have 90 players in the pool and only 25 spots to MPO....which BTW anyone can enter.

I was under the impression that thee was an AM pool and a Pro pool and it is sad to see that an even that could have pulled twice as many Pros will be limited to 25.

25 in open and there are only 3 spots left for an A tier?

r u serious? I have no control over how many pro men sign up. There are actually almost 60 in pool a.
I have a list of 20 ams waiting to play. Everyone has been able to register for this event for the past 7 weeks.
This event has filled up the last 6 years, everyone knows that if you want to play in this one, get in early.
Are guys actually waiting to see if they win money at Moodys before they commit?Matt?

Yes......$300 spent today on entries

The flyer mentioned no Pro spots would be given away until the 15th. I counted earlier today and there was still around 15 spots in the A pool so I don't understand why only 3 of those go to MPO.

Concerning the post above.....Brad and I registered around 2pm today and I am just trying to make everything went through.

Not sure if there was an update tonight or not.

Brad is on list, not matt hall....

I will keep my word, pros have until 3/15 or until their pool is full to register on titledisc.

currently 8 slots available...in pool A only. Sorry Ams, doesnt look like everyone from waiting list will make it in.

Correction, 7 spots available for Pool A...

Brad is on list, not matt hall....


Any reason for that? I mean we signed up withing 5 minutes of each other........

Should I contact titledisc or something?

Apparently, Brad has better credit than you.

Wll my computer didn't like the site and was trying to prevent me from using it so I'm sure that was part of the reason. I just sent everything again and this time I got an confirmation E-mail.

Nothing planned sat nite, except staying at course for a while trying to float a keg or 2.

This is an A-tier... where are the scores so far? Would like to see how our Deaf players are doing... go Ashton!

I agree. The lack of scores has been frustrating.

I heard through the rumor mill ...
1st Doss
2nd Jenkins
3rd McBeth
4th Gurthie
5th Williams

Not to disrespect the hard work of the td's, committee or volunteers... But if you want to host a big tournament and gain national or even regional attention and respect, speedy score posting or even some sort of media post somewhere to get the updates out there to the public who want to follow the tournament is mandatory this day and age... Almost 10pm in Texas Sunday night and yesterday's scores should be up as a minimum??
Delegate responsibilities to people who can help get the job done... Keep up the good stuff...

WOW!!!!!! - looks like a local 942 rated player won... oh, never-mind - scores not posted yet.

First and last trip to this event... two thumbs down.

Sure hope the other Texas Swing events make up for the terrible start that was Victoria 2011.

Where are the results? I know that it is alot of work to put an event together, but this is an A-tier. Should of had scores up for Saturday, and Sunday should already be posted!

ATTENTION 3rd Coast -

As the State Coordinator I'm getting a lot of complaints via facebook, email, and text about this event. Looks like a lot of complaining about how the tourney was run and the payout. Who should I direct these issues to from a 3rd Coast perspective?

I would like to thank the persons responsible for getting the courses ready for the weekend, especially the Fox Bend course.

I would also like to thank Steve Dufrane for bringing 18 of his baskets, it was nice putting on something from my generation!

PDGA Tour Manager should be assisting in areas that are requested of him, ask and you shall receive. But there should be plenty of PDGA knowledgeable people helping the Victoria Open staff get tasks executed...

To Scott,

There is a TD. Why are you asking who to direct stuff to?

I know nothing about payout. Did it not meet the requirements?

As to the tourney. I have no complaints. Sure, there were some mistakes, but overall, none that would detract from my enjoyment. Thanks to the folks at Third Coast for their efforts.

agreed James!

I have no complaints other than my poor performance.

Thanks to Mike, Bill and the rest of the staff.

i had a great time. i sure would like to see the scores, but i can wait......i guess. to be honest it wasn't the smoothest run tourny i've played, but not near the worst,if there is such a thing . can't think of anything i'd rather been doin'. i think when you put a-tier in front of it people expect a few things, i get it. but don't forget about the love of the game itself.

[QUOTE=james_mccaine;1451913]To Scott,

There is a TD. Why are you asking who to direct stuff to?[QUOTE]

The TD isn't always to person who I should be directing questions too. Typically with big tourneys there's a big staff that helps out with "issues". Also its a polite to try and get someone from the tournament to come on the MB and answer people's concerns.

I'm a TD too and am not looking to enflame anything, just trying to hook players up with someone who can answer their questions.

ATTENTION 3rd Coast -

As the State Coordinator I'm getting a lot of complaints via facebook, email, and text about this event. Looks like a lot of complaining about how the tourney was run and the payout. Who should I direct these issues to from a 3rd Coast perspective?

Also, get the scores posted already, there's no excuse for not having the scores posted yet. That should always be the last thing you do each day as TD, regardless of the size of the event.

Scott you know exactly who to speak with and you know my email and phone number. I havent heard a thing from you for a few days.
Thanks to SADC for letting us use their scoreboard over the weekend, it made a big difference.

Scott- I would expect better from you, not everyone lives on facebook and this message board and to throw us to the wolves by saying you are getting lots of complaints and you havent tried to contact me.... Wow, you are going to use this forum and our event to flex your muscles as the newly appointed state coordinator of Texas! WOW!!!

There ARE excuses for not having certain things done...

we had a couple of issues this past weekend, but we all survived and most everyone seemed happy. There were 146 golfers in victoria this weekend, is it fair for the opinion of a couple of people override the majority of golfers who had a great time?

Scores should have been posted sat nite and sun nite, but they werent, they will be up soon.

The players pack was valued at $44, two discs,double mini, disc nation cert, stickers, etc.
Players were charged only $30 from registration.
So payout issues in a field where 50% of field is paid, i am not surprised.

my email is [email protected] if you need further verification or have any comments, questions or concerns. You can also voice concerns with the pdga and the tour manager.

"Scores should have been posted sat nite and sun nite, but they werent, they will be up soon"

if they should be posted then post them... not that hard.

ATTENTION 3rd Coast -

As the State Coordinator I'm getting a lot of complaints via facebook, email, and text about this event. Looks like a lot of complaining about how the tourney was run and the payout. Who should I direct these issues to from a 3rd Coast perspective?

Also, get the scores posted already, there's no excuse for not having the scores posted yet. That should always be the last thing you do each day as TD, regardless of the size of the event.

I agree with this being a little shady for a PDGA rep, much less a state coordinator. This is a discussion not needed to be done in public.

You sir have lost my vote and respect.:eek:

way to go mike and bill! you know as well as i do that i'm usually the first one to come on here and complain. but really, i have NOTHING to complain about. in the years i've been playing maybe only one or two players' meetings have started on time. over all, you guys met or exceeded my expectations of an a-tier.

payout-schmayout... a bunch of peeps just want extra stuff for free. although only $24, last cash in my division got well over my entry fee worth! (payout, players pack, pdga fees... you whiners do the math)

thanks again!!!

I volunteer to be the PDGA Complaint Coordinator (I've already Fedexed the gas receipts for my HUMMER, please send mileage reimbursement ASAP!!!). To expedite this process, please specify to which of the four departments you are submitting your complaint:

1. Petty

2. The Usual

3. LISTEN TO ME!!!!

4. Miscellaneous (Including, but not limited to, spit putts that were in no way your fault)

The scores have not been reported for The Professional Open Division because Double G threw a spike hyzer that has still not landed. It's looking like a park job, but it could be an ace. Currently we estimate the landing to be 5pm CST.

As for the rest. I can only speak for my division.

Matt Hall beat me in a 17 hole play off to become the 2011 Victoria Recreational Mens Champion. Congrats Matt!!!! Brad Williams was actually beating us by 15 strokes going into the last hole of the fourth round. Brad then noticed Micah Winters watching him tee off on hole 18. Brad threw a fit about how only the players on his card are allowed to watch him play during any PDGA sanctioned event. Brad subsequently left to meet with his sports psychologist and failed to putt out. Lucky us!

I had fun...................

Every event has some complaints. The Victoria Open is too much fun to complain about. I had fun playing Adv. Masters for the first time. If I cared about the scores I would have looked at them at the event.

The scores are posted. When I uploaded them on Saturday night it never went through, my fault for not checking and daddy chester I am sorry! When we got home last night I had to get my kids fed and get things ready for work on Monday and help my kids finish their homework. So at 3 am I just wanted to get to sleep. It took us all day to recreate the scores due to the PDGA provided TD report. I had lost every score in the program as well as the players. Luckily we keep all the score cards and were able to work it out. Once again sorry for the delay and to the fellow that will never come back, it happens. You should not take things so seriously as you will never get out of this world alive, unless you are an astronaut. And you just have to come back down to Earth.

I would like to thank everyone for coming out to the 2011 Victoria Open. We hope to see everyone next year!

Last years tourney was awesome! This year not so much. Why there was so much difference? Also I would like to point out that an A tier comes with high expectations for a reason, after all it is an A tier. Just look at other A tier events and compare. The bar is high. If you thought nothing was wrong you weren't paying much attention. I love 3rd Coast and the many contributions that they have made to Texas Disc Golf. That is why it pains me to say I was surprised at the lack of everything at this tournament.

Scott you know exactly who to speak with and you know my email and phone number. I havent heard a thing from you for a few days.
Thanks to SADC for letting us use their scoreboard over the weekend, it made a big difference.

Scott- I would expect better from you, not everyone lives on facebook and this message board and to throw us to the wolves by saying you are getting lots of complaints and you havent tried to contact me.... Wow, you are going to use this forum and our event to flex your muscles as the newly appointed state coordinator of Texas! WOW!!!

There ARE excuses for not having certain things done...

we had a couple of issues this past weekend, but we all survived and most everyone seemed happy. There were 146 golfers in victoria this weekend, is it fair for the opinion of a couple of people override the majority of golfers who had a great time?

Scores should have been posted sat nite and sun nite, but they werent, they will be up soon.

Mke - My bad. I shouldn't have posted that here. I just did it out of convenience as in a span of like 2 hours I get hit with some texts and some emails and some facebook messages and I was at work so I wanted to know who to direct them too. Didn't know without looking if you where the TD or not, just wanted to get a speedy resolution. I was at work and just posted. I should have known better. Lesson learned.

I'll direct opportunities for improvment directly to you Mike.

BTW- The cool black rocs we gave out as trophy discs, were paid for by 3rd coast. No ones trophy disc came out of their payout.
The two juniors not only received a $40+ players pack they received a trophy disc and picked out a disc of their choice.Vinnie Miller also hooked up both juniors with a cool Vibram Disc.

Chris Vandergriff did awesome in pro open, BUT HE DID NOT ACCEPT THE CASH!!!

just have to say that vic was another great year. not sure what others problems were but me and my kids had a ton of fun. just have to say thaks mike for taking such great care of my kids at there first event. they cant wait for the next event they get to play.

special thanks to you too vinnie for hooking them both up with discs.
