Unreal how hot this tourney is; good course, good people, good times....makes sense.

DG,

I just had a thought......no there's not smoke coming from my ears :)

I think others would agree that people on the wait list for tournaments get aggravated when they see people DNF after the first day at a tournament like this.

Maybe you should discourage this by not allowing DNFs to play in the following year's Azalea (there would have to be an exception for people DNFing due to physical reasons or family emergencies, etc).

I would like to see something like this to discourage people from quitting as it makes me aggravated for those that really wanted to play having to watch people quit because they had one or two lousy rounds.

Just my two pennies.

-mus

I understand the sentiment, but I don't think TDs want to get involved in deciding which DNFs are justified.

Maybe they could publicize the names and encourage ostracizing those who quit in anger, or just because they're playing poorly.

I'm in!! See ya there BIGWAVE!!

I think that is an interesting idea as well, but actually implementing it would be tough.

Looking at last year's results there were only 6 DNFs which seems actually low compared to other tournaments.

One of them was the TD

Yeah.....just a thought.....and the TD has the "mental stress" excuse :)

Anywayz......hopefully this will help people think twice before dropping out this year.....but prolly not ;)

Considering the PDGA doesn't even recognize the difference of a withdraw and quitting. this won't ever be the case.

I can also say that the PDGA does not discipline someone for quitting with class and professionalism - and nor should they.

In the end, the person who chooses to quit is not hurting the tournament or the event. It is their money and they can choose to use it how they see fit. As long as the DNF does not disrupt those who choose to use their money for 4 rounds of serious golf, there is nothing wrong with it and no penalty should occur because of it.

2nd.




I think it is often more professional and even showing a sense of class to walk away, DNF, or quit Rather than stay and Show your "@$$" because your not playing up to your own expectations. Of course it would be great if people would just shut up and just step it up, but sometimes you just cant. So if your not Having fun playing, then don't do it. But most of all have respect for the other people around you who deserve the same chance to play and have fun. Why ruin it for them because you suck?...lol GET OUTTA HEEahh !!!!!!! Peace!!!!

Did I really just Agree with TiBBlet?

I cant wait to play this event. I haven't been there in years. whats the current course record BWD? I'm feeling a 48 comming this year... You wit me Dave?.. Just curious what it is.

"May The Force Be with You"

"May The Force Be with You"

Here's a link to our records page CLee. Schweb has the Tourney record at 52. Rory-Boy has an unofficial 48 course record. Glad your making the trip this year.

http://www.newhanoverdgc.com/records.php

Wow....I sparked a conversion!

I agree with all these points....especially when someone isn't doing well and complaining through an entire round....that's never fun listening to.

I see it from both sides and I now withdraw my previous suggestion because your right.....someone shouldn't be punished for making a withdrawal from a tourney they aren't playing well in when they are gonna bring everyone else down by complaining.

It would be the right thing to do as well as professional to just separate yourself so as to not interfere with the others that paid to play.

Thanks guys,

-mus

Now lets talk about how awesome this tourney will be!!!!

I for one can't wait!!!

And good luck to those on the wait list.....

CLee Your 56 on 2004 was hella tight when you think how gnarley the castle was back then. with the trampling of the last 6 years and lost trees the castles teeth are not as sharp as they used to be. i would love to see 50 this year.

What is the official par for the course?

I'm counting 65 with 15 being a par 5.

Course Par Mus is 64. Hole 15 is a fair par 4 in the shorts and a hard par 4 in the longs.
score card can be found at www.newhanoverdgc.com

Yeah.....I saw that on the score card after I asked.

I should look around before asking questions.....at least that's what I tell others!

Anywayz.....now it's easy info for others to see.....yeah.

haha no worries adammus. You know even if par is relative there are arguments on both sides about 15. I am reluctant to change par out there because of tradition. but in my opinion hole 15 is much harder than hole 12. so mentally i play 12 as a par 4 and 15 as a par 5. either way if i play the two holes in 9 shots or less i consider that a success

Not to start a huge par argument...

But assigning par on a course like this is VERY important. Yes it is relative and in the end, lower number wins no matter if you call it -30 or +30.

But since we have a rule that penalizes people based on par, we need to make sure it is always correct.

I'm fine calling it whatever you want, just make sure it's consistent.

IMO...The castle is...
Front 9

333433453

Back 9

445335443

66!

C'mon Rob......16 isn't a par 4!!!!

That's one of the group CTP holes!!!

Oh.....and based on the penalization thing that you are talking about.....let's just make all holes par 3! :D

I could probably go back and figure it out Dave but it is easier to just ask. How much notice did you give before you opened up registration? Thanks!

Joe,
I am so glad that you asked this. Consistancy is a big thing with me. i think it goes a long way to creating integrity. lsited below is a run down of the Azalea Disc Golf Tournament with me as a TD.

2009 we went live with the registration the day i started the thread which was Feb. 12th. the second week of the month....we filled in 5 days

2010 with the event filling so quickly i moved the registration up 1 week to the first week of Feb. i posted the thread, flyer and paypal link on Feb. 4th.....we filled in 3 days.

2011 i had a lot of interest this year so i started the thread a little earlier on Jan. 19th to announce that registration would go live on Feb. 3rd......we filled in 75 minutes

anyone who contacted me got a reply the same day with the details about registration. from here on out as long as i have anyhting to do with the Azalea Registration will open up on the first Thursday of Feb.

Our club meeting is the first Tuesday we deicide Azalea Details and that gives me 2 days to get ready for the madness. i don't think there are very many disc golfers out there that don't know how to get in touch with me one way or the other.....there are many avenues and i think anyone that really knows me knows how quickly i reply. Thanks for asking Joe and i hope this answers your question. Holla if there is anyhting i can do for you!

Not to start a huge par argument...

we need to make sure it is always correct.



I feel confident that my response to hole 15 is correct. it is a fair par 4 in the short and a hard par 4 in the longs. and in relation to your scenario of having someone show up late on that one particular hole i am fine with him or her recieving an 8 if they miss it entirely.

and i would have to aggree with mus. Hole 16 is the easiest par 3 on the back. I know hole 16 has made Christian "big daddy" Coursey over $600 in ace pools the last 4 years:-)

I have no idea why I put 16 as a 4. Clearly a 3.

It was early this morning when I typed that...I'll blame it on that.

hahaha i have been there.

Well as long as you have a scapegoat it's OK!!

Oh.....and Dave....you and your club run an awesome tourney buddy!! Keep up the good work!!!

I for one would never support regulations against dropping out. :)
I heard someone asked after the first round at Buckhorn this year if I had already dropped out since they hadn't seen me that morning. LMAO

: ) :

They are starting to drop like flies.
Spiderman and
Kirk Yoo are in the tournament.

Russ Wilson is on deck
Bert Williams is in the hole

It's a long shot, but, I have a chance.

Hey, I figured this would be a good place to ask if anyone has a floor for me to sleep on during the tournament. I "could" pay for a hotel.. but saving money is always a little better.

PM me if you can help a brother out.

Registration update. Some people are getting closer.

I may make it to On Deck, or in the hole. Then I can make plans. If your not going to make it, let the Wave know.

Just wanted to spread the word.....

Schweb unofficially posts his second 1100 rated round at Zeb during the Pro Crosstown today.... just thought you guys might want to know. Congrats Big MulleTT.

Where was everyone?????

Another Registration update. Some people are getting closer. Check it at

Awsome, Azelia bound. Hemi time sat 0545.. Unfortunately, The Cupcake wont be able to play, she has a soccer tryout at Cape Fear CC on Sunday.

Another update and the wait list gets shorter. we may have one more drop in the next few days. so stay tuned.

Quick question BWD, do you remember how many spots opened up Saturday morning last year?

Sean,
No one got in day of last year. But that doesn't mean it won't happen this year. i got my fingers crossed for you!

Thanks for letting me know. Trying to decide if I should start getting my hopes up. Thinking maybe a few of the fellow wait-listers may have already changed plans. Most likely coming down anyway for the party at Papa Bellas friday (unless I'm mistaken?).

Maybe I'll bribe the weatherman to give a bogus forecast...scare some people off.

Bring your own partner doubles....Tuck style!
Twenty dollars per team, ie 10 dollars per player.
Captains choice doubles at Castle Hayne Park.
Long layout (the same as the Azalea)

I need to know. Will the wonderfulclub be cooking up some burgers/dogs for sale between rounds on Sat/sun?. In other word, will we have the opportunity to eat at course, or bag it.

Yes, Carla and Zeke will putting on the grub both Saturday and Sunday par excellence! Can't beat the taste, price ($5), supporting the Club, not sweating the rush of going out to eat and being able to relax and enjoy the tournament atmosphere. Look forward to seeing you Rocky and all!

Just a reminder to all that are coming to the Azalea Disc Golf Tournament this weekend we will have lunch offered both Sarurday (Hamburgers) and Sunday (Hotdogs) for just $5.00

Yes, Carla and Zeke will putting on the grub both Saturday and Sunday par excellence! Can't beat the taste, price ($5), supporting the Club, not sweating the rush of going out to eat and being able to relax and enjoy the tournament atmosphere. Look forward to seeing you Rocky and all!

These are all reasons that make this even more special.

Home cooking, Zeke the grill master, Carla running a tight ship and the price all for $5 The Azalea Lunch is a good deal anyway you slice it. Bring your appetite and stay at the course. its an easy decision.

Looking at the weather forecast.....this should be interesting!

Another great event. Thanks Wave and Crew!

And the ratings on this course are a joke. There is NO way Dave Nikko Kenny etc would average 52 or 53 here.

Congrats to all the winners, and speaking of ratings I'm anxious to hear who earned the USDGC spot. There wasn't much talk of it this weekend.

My thoughts and support also go out to all the players that were affected by Saturday's storm in any way, especially Henry Trier whose home suffered major damage.

Max, your family was in our thoughts as well. Hope to see you soon!

USDGC spot. There wasn't much talk of it this weekend.


this was intentional

this was intentional

Gotcha!

DG and the rest of the Port City Crew....thanks for a great event!

I had a blast even though I played poorly.

BTW.....Lee at Papa Bellas found the disc that everyone signed.....it was behind the liquor glasses!!!

Classic! Great having you and jenny this weekend Mus. and thanks to all the G-vegas crew for supporting our little shin dig down here. see you in Oct. at the latest.

I'm anxious to hear who earned the USDGC spot. There wasn't much talk of it this weekend.


Not sure if there was an 850 minimum rating for the spot or not, but if there wasn't Victoria should be a shoe in.

The USDGC Criteria that was posted should be used to determine who will get the state rep. spot. Mike should know within a few weeks.

anybody know where/if any pics were posted?

here's some from from Chad Parker

These are troys. I think you have to be his friend to see them maybe. There are Saturday Pictures here
http://www.facebook.com/media/set/fbx/?set=a.1797756876488.95540.1616743228

The USDGC Criteria that was posted should be used to determine who will get the state rep. spot. Mike should know within a few weeks.

I did some math on some of the winners/standouts and came up with:
Victoria averaged almost 50 pts above her rating
Zeb 30 pts
John Vee 30 pts
Clay Held 46 pts
Borjes 38 pts
Layh 47 pts
Hagerty 44 pts

Can I register now for next year?
