Tournaments / Re: Paradise Diamond - May 18th, 2013 - PDGA B Tier

A circle has no sides.

Sure it does, top side & bottom side, you need to think in more than 2 dimensions.  Don't get me started on the 4th and 5th ones.

Or the 12th!

Not sure if I had my names on them, but I lost a Star Orange Xcal and a Champ Orange Destroyer with a Mid-Am stamp on it in the lake.  I will gladly provide some pops or swap some other discs in my stockpile for their return.

Oh Vinnie, you didn't....

I believe he took any unmarked discs to both DD or DGW.

While searching the pond on 15 for a couple of his own lost discs from the RnS, Mark Albers retrieved my errant firebird shot and 50+ other discs, called all their owners, and is going out of his way to make sure everyone has their plastic. Thanks again Mark!

Hole 13, the "grille" shot, Old Pike CC during league - I jammed a Coyote 245ft for sweet sweet Ace #3!


It must of been my night, cause I also hammered a 180ft Field Ace on hole 2.

Fun stuff! Thanks Neenan, Nelson, and Fenton for witnessing.

Dang Utz!!!!

I say we grab a bunch of beat up plastic that no one wants and throw it over the fence on purpose. Hundreds and hundreds of discs. Just keep tossing them in there. It's a great way to get rid of all those DX Stingrays and First Run Lycans that are gathering dust in your basement, garage or closet. We can use the fenced in enclosure as a driving range.

I think it's also very important that we put Jake Bowen's name, number and email address on each disc. Just in case they look.

Yeah that would be really funny.

Wait, what?

I just love that when we first installed the course LS Parks said they would keep the discs they found inside the fence indefinitely in a box in the office. But when we went in the office during the Bluebird event I was told they usually don't keep them for more than a couple of weeks. Sometimes the parks guys start playing with them right when they find them.

The other problem is their crazy hours. I think some days they only work until 3pm and who knows when they're there on the weekend.
Am I supposed to use a vacation day to go during my work hours to get something I can see 20 feet away?!!!

They expect us to respect their fence, but they don't respect the disc golf community.

The synapsis alone justifies the purchase...

"When Justice Montana and his friends go out for a day at the disc golf course, they never expected to find sexy, sultry Nena there! After one of them loses their discs in the rough, busty Nena appears and lets the boys explore her own rough. It's all leads to a dirty, naughty gang bang in the woods that will not soon be forgotten!"

Last week, Masters was $115.00.  Now it's changed to $120.00.  Online fees?

Next week is $125, better sign up now......

Will Open increase as well?

Please charge Jake $300, but he gets a tee sign with his entry.  Thanks!

I'm seriously trying to find a business to do this. I'd like to be able to sell 4 tee signs! Are the donations tax deductable?

 GBO  ($80 vs. $155) and KCWO is ($88 vs. $170) 

This is CRAZY!!

How did the prices for open go up so much this year, while every other division seems to stay near the same?

Masters pays just as much as Open to play. And the players in Masters are taking a bigger risk than the Open players. We are up for the challenge. Unless you Open players think you can take down Arturo on a consistent basis.

LOL!

Sorry, but Arturo makes life as a disc golfer more difficult, regardless which division he plays!

2013 GBO
OPEN - $155
Pro Masters - $105

Who pays more?

they paid 5 in Masters, 4 in Open... and YES HELLA FAIR!!!!

 Add all the cash to OPEN, Here's why...

 Masters can STEP UP and play Open, but we can't step down to Play an age protected division..

 You want to play for added money, play against the wolves...


We need a like button on here.

So - to clarify Tank's point - all tournaments should be two divisions... Open and Am. You either pay a full OPEN fee to play against Schusterick and lose every time; or you play against Palmer and take home more plastic. Is that the idea? Every tournament formatted like the USDGC? And if that were the case, do you think anyone would play those tournaments? Nope. You have divisions to encourage people to play. If you eliminate those divisions, Tank and Cooper, you would be playing alone. Which, coincidentally, is like playing Open.


Nah man, you've got it all mixed up. Age restricted divisions are dandy.
But pay out the added cash to the division that takes the biggest risk and pays the most to play... OPEN.

wyco results from Saturday: 11 open players in the filed and first place takes $337. 12 masters players in the field and first place takes $320. That's with added cash to the tournament. Masters paid the same entry fee as Open players - $60. So, in fact, the Open field DID get the majority of the added cash though their field was smaller. Was that fair?

Is it possible that not all of the 8+ open players that didn't show got their entry fee refunded?

In the Monkey Island open all the greens are ob islands, correct? is worlds gonna have islands

Only a couple of the holes have island greens including the monkey island hole, which is a short stone wall around a remnant of the old zoo. The other island hole that has been used is an old elevated ampitheater stage. I doubt the course will be played like this for worlds; this setup is generally only for the monkey island tourney.
