One worker driving silver dodge pickup said he knows Mike D.

I don't think we should hold that against him....

Are you suggesting a section of the forum set up specifically for photo sharing? That would be pretty easy to do. Either a separate section or if someone started a thread under Genral Banter it could be stickied to the top.

Tournaments / Re: 32nd Annual Mid-America Open - June 24th - 26th

Been thinking maybe.......ugh.....Intermediate ....ugh but our ratings allow......and doing Sat/Sun, then skipping final 9 to play the Houck course....

Hmmm..... that's a thought for sure. If you decide to do this let me know and I will likely join you in Int and for the Houck course round on Sunday. I was planning on playing this until I saw the Friday rounds. hadn't thought about the C pool. Hell, I could play Rec for that matter....

What did you want to know about it?

http://www.pdga.com/tour/event/26332

I've been thinking about playing it. I understand they intend to use the new course, Harmony Bends (Strawn Park), this year. I drove by there just over a week ago though and they seem to have quite a bit of work yet to do. Only two pins were in so far I was told at the time. It looks to be a pretty nice course though. Might be a parking challenge however. I counted exactly 16 parking spaces and didn't see anywhere promising for additional parking, even temporary. I suspect they will have that covered somehow.

Here's more info from Disc Golf Scene: https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/32nd_Annual_Mid_America_Open_2016

Entry fees are pretty steep for a B tier if you ask me.

Check that....  I guess I won't be playing. They have changed it to a three day event with doubles on Thursday. I have work commitments that won't allow me to get away in time on Friday to get to the first round. They appear to be reaching for the big-time with it this year to introduce the new John Houck designed course. I'll have to play it some other time I guess. Bummer.....

Found and Lost / Swope Lost and Found

« on: May 09, 2016, 10:30:14 AM »

An abnormally high volume of lost and found gear came in after the Wide Open this year. Likely due to the confusion caused by all that rain. If you lost a stool, umbrella, towel or disc(s) or anything else, check there. I suspect it will be opened Tuesday and Patrick plans to be out there today.

Saw a Leopard in the lost and found box in the shack. Not sure if it's yours or not but there are a lot of lost and found items at the shack.

USM / Re: USM Ace Fund League - 2016

« on: April 12, 2016, 12:03:36 PM »

April 5th was not quite as windy as the prior week but still quite breezy. Eight made it out and finished all 18.

Scores:

Tyler Forbes - 55
Anthony Todd - 55
Brandon Forbes - 57
Travis Daetwiler - 59
Steven 'doc' Norby - 60
Kevin Pike - 60
Kevin Montgomery - 63
Phillip Brice - ? (doc recalled all the scores but Phil's)

6pm start tonight!! Please be here by at least 5:45pm.

Ace fund now stands at exactly $156.

This evening should be much calmer but sunny and cool. We will be playing the newly modified layout again this evening.
#6/15 is being pulled and #9/18 is moving toward the woods and the original #9/18 is becoming #8/17 and moving south to get away from the baseball field parking area. After holing out on #5/#14 there is now a walk to original #7/16 which now becomes #6/15. This became necessary due to softball and baseball activity. Plans are int he works for even more changes to utilize some ground we have not used in the past.

A little behind on getting scores posted but better late than never. Here's March 29th:

Scores

Anthony Todd - 57 (need confirmation)
Brandon Forbes - 57
Travis Daetwiler - 59 (need confirmation)
Peter Tady- 59
Tyler Forbes - 60
Steven "doc" Norby - 62
Kevin Montgomery - 66
Tracy Walker - 68
Phillip Brice - 69
AJ Todd - DNF

It was very windy, which sort of explains some of the high scores. Did not get a scorecard for Tony, Travis and AJ so this is from memory. Ace fund is now over $150.

So many choices...  Right at the moment my putter is the Macana but I usually use an Omega SS. Go-to mid-range has long been a flat top Roc (180). Driver depends much on the situation but my stand-by in most cases has long been the Valkyrie, current favorite is a 157 Star Valk.
