Initial ideas for the courses this year will include:
Blue Valley-Short
Blue Springs

Rosedale
Water Works

Swope Gold

I think that sounds like a great set-up...a couple newbies mixed in with some golden oldies.  I vote yes.

Rosedale needs to be maxed out though, can be such a good course in long positions.

I believe that some people return to NT's year after year so they can play an epic course that they loved and would not otherwise get to play...such as Waterworks, Cliff Drive(Not so sure about Rosey or Swope).               
    I know that if I ever make it back to Oregon to play the Beaver Fling, I damn sure hope they would continue to play Milo McIver...because in my opinion, those are the 2 (best, most scenic, peaceful) courses I have ever played.     But, I also agree with Fred.  If you have a full repertoire of courses, you should rotate them into the mix, to give the locals a change, and show the out-of-towners that there is more than one great course to choose from.

Blue Valley / Re: Too much time to play? Have you tried the alternate course yet?

Great call Andy!!

Looks like some great improvements to shorten the course a bit Jack.  Now I won't dread going to Blue Valley anymore, afraid of my arm falling off mid-round, and not being able to defend myself against the creepers hanging around the parking area staring at me.

Excellent map skills too!!

Just played Blackthorn and Wood henge last Sunday.  Liked them both a lot, but Wood Henge is definitely my favorite of the 3.

I might have to make a return trip this Sunday,  if people will actually show up

Bobby, Adam C. and I were the only Discers on all three courses.....Too bad, you all missed out on the very rare and elusive Snowy Owl sighting on hole 15 Wood Henge

Bag Tags / Re: 2012 BAG TAG RESULTS

« on: October 25, 2011, 12:11:40 PM »

One thing I know a lot of people forget is that when they DNF a round they are supposed to take the highest tag on the card if they don't already possess it so their lower tag stays with the card. This happened to me at WW this summer someone bailed early taking their lower tag with them... Joe.....      I could have had my lowest tag all summer....  Oh well....  I would have just lost it the next round I played anyway....   

That was the worst round I have been a part of all summer, not for my game, but with Dick and the guy from Oklahoma bickering all round, i couldn't help but leave... if you would have reminded me, I would have definitely left it for you....I care about this much (picture my fingers pressed together) about tags anyway, because nothing ever comes from them the end of the year, and it does seem the low tags seem to disappear about half way through the year

We need a better way to track them through out the year, that way anybody can go win that sucka when they want.

BTW, if you still want my #8, it belongs to Brock Barrett now, and I am sure he is defending it fiercely in the disc golf heavens.

One idea is to suggest/encourage/support "all-ins" at leagues once in a while.  That is, everyone tosses thier bag tag into the hat. Then tags get redistributed based on that evenings scores. 

I like this idea, and we used it in Colorado for all leagues....However I will admit, it sucks to have to wait around when you shoot a sh1tty round, for all the slowpokes to finish their rounds....

Take a deck of cards and everytime you birdie you get a card off the deck.  At the end the best poker hand wins.

Exactly.

I got Aces up my sleeve though

So, are there any unofficial official sidebets? I know one year we did the all field skins thing. Maybe a small overall ($5) or something?

I'm in...Coop, if Dick is too busy, you and me will get something going on Saturday morning for all who want in.  We could do $5 per round, and an additional $20 for all four. That way players that aren't playing all weekend could get in on individual rounds.

And additional "birdies for best poker hand" will be going down on my card
