General Banter / 1985 Discraft Phantom

« on: April 05, 2013, 11:17:49 AM »

Playing with a co-worker last night in preparation for the KCCC at the end of the month.  He hasn't played DG for 5 years.

He pulls out a 1985 Tulsa OK Pro Worlds Discraft Phantom and throws it almost the whole round.

That beats my 1987 Discraft Cruiser that I played with in 2005 as the oldest disc I've seen still in play.  My Cruiser is now retired and hanging on my wall.

He also had 2 old Rocs.  One was a big bird red roc with a lot of ink all over top and bottom and a couple others I didn't recall.

Cliff Drive / League 3/25

So, I'm guessing either league Monday night is cancelled, or not?  I'm guessing Holes 1-6 would be very nasty.

General Banter / Emporia day trip Friday 11/16?

« on: November 14, 2012, 04:26:03 PM »

Harold and I are considering going to Emporia, Friday, 11/16.  We would play 2 rounds between Jones East, West and Peter Pan.  We would probably stop by the store there as well.

I live in Lawrence, Harold in Olathe.  Tentatively, we would meet up in Ottawa, probably at the Wal-Mart store on the south side of town just off I-35, exit 183.  If you are interested in going, let us know. 

I would like to met in Ottawa at 9am, or even 8:30.  Let us know if you are interested.

This is tentative at this point.

« on: November 08, 2012, 02:51:51 PM »

Harold and I (Rob Martin) are planning on playing 2 rounds at Smithville Friday 11/9.  At least one of them will be the gold course, not sure about the second one.  We'll get some lunch up there inbetween.

We will be leaving Olathe about 8:45, I think it takes 1 hr to get up there.

If you want to get ahold of me, my mobile is
seven . 8 . five - 7 . six . 4 - twenty two twenty nine.

I know we will have 2013 tags 55 & 56 in play.

Tournaments / GBO - NT calendar issues

« on: November 05, 2012, 04:37:32 PM »

If you were aware of the scheduling issues, then this may interest you.
If you weren't aware, I guess it doesn't matter.

Due to circumstances beyond the control of the disc golf world, there has been a change to the 2013 National Tour Schedule.  The "Steady" Ed Memorial Masters Cup in Santa Cruz, CA will now be held on April 26-28, two weeks later than originally planned.  The Hall of Fame Classic at the IDGC in Appling, GA that was to be held on that weekend will now be pushed back a week to March (edit: May) 3-5.  The revised schedule is shown below.

Prairie Center / Beer policy

« on: August 29, 2012, 06:32:13 PM »

How big of a deal would it be to have a rather large container (5-gallons) of beer for Old Settler's afterwards?  Any known issues with authorities?

General Banter / Wiggins New World Distance Record

« on: April 17, 2012, 12:17:05 PM »

Otter made reference of this in different thread, but surprised there isn'y much discussion about this:

http://www.innovadiscs.com/home/492-david-wiggins-jr-sets-new-distance-record-with-blizzard-champion-boss.html

"On Friday, April 13th, 16 year old David Wiggins Jr. launched a 134-gram Blizzard Champion Boss high into the desert sky. When it returned to earth, spotters confirmed the disc had traveled 836' (255m) and had broken the world distance record. A record that stood untouched for nearly a decade. David was competing in the the High Desert Distance Challenge III in Primm, NV (elevation 2618'). David's throw bested Christian Sandström's record of 820' that was set way back on April 26, 2002 with an Innova DX Valkyrie. "
