I agree about plastic.  Most including myself don't need more plastic.  And if they're good quality shirts that look cool, then that's a different story.  What do you think about the towel idea?

Executive decision:

Shirts will be given out instead of a disc.  That way I don't run the risk of being stuck with a bunch of custom printed plastic. I'll have the shirts made in two colors. So you'll have a team uniform for the day.  That said, please provide your t-shirt size along with your entry.

I really can't stand having another T-shirt.  I need another T-shirt like I need another hole in my head.  I mean half the time they don't fit me right.  I either risk getting a medium and it being too short or too tight in the shoulders or getting a large and it fitting fine in the shoulders, but it's vanity sized and fitted for someone with a much larger love of beer (if you know what I mean).  If I'm going to get another shirt, I would want it to be dry fit or a polo as that's almost all that I wear anymore when I play.  At least with a disc, I can let my kids have it or give it to a new player.  Not much can be done with a t-shirt you don't want except give it to good will.  I'd rather you just save the money for more trees and not buy the T-shirts.   Or how about a new golf towel.  Mine is looking a little worn.

I'm glad you liked it.  So what did you shoot since you can compare to what Will shot?

Smithville / Re: 1st time at Smithville

Victor Ashe in Knoxville
A 9 hole course in Gatlinburg
The Sinks in Chattanooga.

Victor Ashe is a decent course.  Kinda boring though, long and open.  Well maintained though. I'd play Morningside or Groves Park over it though.   Morningside Park was recently redesigned and is suppose to be really cool.  I haven't played since it was redesigned, but I would try it since the park was pretty cool.  And the Groves Park (Mounds) in Oak Ridge, TN has 27 holes which are really cool, probably about 15 minutes away from Knoxville.  Former ball golf course converted to disc golf.  Best map with new 9 holes are at http://www.pdga.com/course_directory/course/groves-park-0

Have fun!

2.5 hours at both Woodhenge and Blackthorn, w/o knowing the course, is a very brisk pace. I'm assuming you'll have 4+ golfers... 

It is, we'll see.  And as I said we'll limit the group size on each hole which will help with speed of play.

Smithville / 1st time at Smithville

« on: July 10, 2012, 01:45:14 PM »

So some buddies and I have never played any of the three smithville courses and we decided this Saturday (July 14) we will go play all three.  Here's our schedule right now.  We will try our best to stay on this schedule. 

7:45am - 10am Beaver Creek
10:00 am - 12:30pm Black Thorn
12:30pm - 2pm Lunch (likely at Brick House Cafe & Pub or O'Rhilee's Pub & Grub)
2pm - 4:30pm Woodhenge

We're also going to a blind draw partner game for each round for $2.  Everyone plays their own game, then at the end of the round, you draw for your partner.  Lowest total score of both partners wins.  This should keep everyone engaged throughout the round.  We'll also do a bag tag challenge for the entire group.  After each round we will settle up on the doubles $ and bag tags.  In order to keep our schedule, we'll have groups with no more than 4 players on each card.  You don't have to come to all three rounds, if you want to play just one round and head off that's fine.  Let me know if we should look for you.   

By the way, I have bag tag #4.
