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.

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.
