4th Annual Widdershins Open

[MICHLER]

dude, i thrive in the wind.  i'm pumped it looks like its gonna be warm.  wind just makes it so nobody can make putts, which helps me cuz i wasn't gonna make any anyways.

[tree]

Got an email a little while ago, one more am and another in the women's division expected!

Does this mean there will be more than just 2 Brakels, 1 Chaumont (formerly Brakel) ?

Cool!

I lost a Orange Champ T-bird practicing before the round on 5. It's about 7 or 8 feet in but I couldn't see it.
Landed far enough away from the lake, but the wind picked it up and sent it scooting into the water.
I also accidentally left behind my wife's Leopard near the pin on 2 as I was helping her on the last hole. I'd love to get either of these back so if you find either of these, please be so kind to give me a call (630.357.7265) or send an email to discgolf via the domain krupicka.org

PS Thought it was a great tourney. Just wish that nasty wind wasn't there. Thanks for letting women play free. If it wasn't for that, I'm not sure if my wife and I would have traveled up for the tournament.

Take the advise from thoes who have loved and lost (pro monster, dr dyed banshee, etc.)

Taking the hyzer on 5 with any type of headwind/crosswind will result in a complete loss..

Unless the gods are kind enough to let your disc float upside down untill it reaches the other side (thank you jesus!)

The firebird died in vain today, fan. but it will not be forgotten - for it has taunted me many times at adler, but i shall fear it, nevermore, nevermore, nevermore.

[D]

oh yeah - what the hell happened with tags today? lol

not like it matters, i would probably be keeping mine with the way i shot second round

[Todd. Fanning]

Oh no dtrain im gonna be getting another firebird that is gonna do twice the taunting that ce one did, and im gonna get the same dye on it so ha!

[Jon Brakel]

I also lost one in the pond on #5. Didn't hyzer though. Threw it low and hard it burned rolled and then bounced into the pond. It landed about 8 feet out upside down. Floated about 25 feet from shore and sank. Fortunately it was a Wildcat and Discraft knows how to make more of those.

Mirth normally does bagtags but he said he was busy enough running the tournament. He said we were just doing round tags. I didn't play with anyone with a tag either round.

Mirth did an excellent job running the tournament! I know the Brakels and Chaumonts had a great time.

[Dan Michler]

True that!  Mirth did an awesome job.  I didn't really expect to see 53 players and Mirth handled it very well.  I think most people had fun, although alot of people including myself probably wish there were huge nets surrounding the pond

1st round was not fun; it was actually the 1st time I've ever gone into the water on 5, and it was an upshot   - didn't lose the disc though. Also managed to go into the water on 9 that round; on an upshot     . After I realized there were people shooting worse than I did, the 2nd round went better.    The 8-hole league playoff w/ Nate between rounds probably helped, even though he eventually won.

What a fun day! The wind was brutal but made some crazy shots. I heard Adrian Jr. had a shot on Hole G that ended up on Yorkhouse road . That's 550 ft. +. Saw a disc smack a house. Some some attempted rollers that were just ridiculous. My hyzer on #2 was just fantastic going out then landing on the other side of the tennis courts. The list can go on and on.  

Mirth did a great job & the players packs were cool. Gateway has some awesome looking trophies. Lots of new faces & lots of women. I thought getting 30+ people to attend would be a success.

I found out of bounds 5 times but felt good about 2'ing 7 holes from the longs the 2nd round.

I too lost 2 discs.

Hole 5 on uspshot.
CE Firebird-Orange-Skipped in near the bench.

Hole 9 on drive.
Went right over the bridge.

Shawn & Sergio,
    I sent your baskets with Kyle. He will get them back to you. Thanks guys!!!

Sergio,
    I sent you the CFR Viper with him as well. Your envelope with original bolts are in it.

Shawn,
    Shawn, I forgot your original bolts at home. I sent the bolt with wing nuts with him. I will get those bolts back to you.

I heard Adrian Jr. had a shot on Hole G that ended up on Yorkhouse road . That's 550 ft. +.

Yeah; we were on Hole H when that happened. We didn't see the shot and couldn't figure out where the disc had come from   .

That disc should be nice & flat after all the cars that ran over it...

[mirth]

Thanks for the kind words guys. I hear our area had 55+ mph gusts yesterday!

[Jon Brakel]

I know that good temp baskets (like all the ones we used yesterday) blow over at about 50 mph. I didn't see any blow over, but later Lynn told me that she put I basket back up before her group teed off. So, I guess it was that brutal!

The first round I was contemplating whether to try to go over the creek on number 9 from the concrete tee. There were leaves blowing across the tee pad from left to right, leaves in the fairway that were blowing from right to left and the willows by the basket were blowing from left to right. I had no idea what to expect on that throw. But then I had no idea what was going to happen most of the time!

Baskets?, I don't have any baskets.


I only found OB once, but I hit every tree out there twice, so that made up for it. Saw a disc hit a passing car on H, and a couple of 5 foot putts blown right back out of the basket.
