How awesome was yestarday? I had a blast!! There were close to 40 players. Thanks to Jim for putting on another great tournament. Thanks to all club members for helping!!!!! There more help we get the more we benefit in the long run. I think all the hard work for the past couple of years is starting to pay off. We made $82.00 for the club. There we tons of prizes & cash given away. You can't beat FREE PIZZA for lunch. I was also abe to watch some great Pros throw the final 4 holes. Can't wait for 3rd Annual Widdershins Open.

[CEValkyrie]

Jim & I discussed this on the phone last night. Any feedback on what went well & anything that might need to be modified for the Widdershins.



Here is what I liked.

1. PAYOUTS!! (CASH) & Raffle

2. Format- 3 rounds of 12 holes, excellent temps.

3. FREE PIZZA

4. Got to see some great pros throw at the end.    That was awesome.





What I would do different.

1. Smaller groups if possible. (top scores on 1 card) & so on.

2. Final 4 holes for top 4 from each division.

3. Have Rec players play 2 rounds of 12 holes.

4. OB for the road-] I think that anything that comes to rest completely on the road including the curb should be considered OB. I think that if you throw on the road & it doesn't come to rest on the top of the curb or grass, it should be OB. I think you are rewarded for making a bad shot.

5. Maybe add a few extra temp holes and play 3 rounds of 14 or 15 holes.



What do you guys think?

Looks great Jim!

$117.00

Beats losing $ like we used to.

My basket is available, Craig has a new mach 2 that I should be able to get if needed.  Let me know.

[shawn]

Plan on being there around 7:30 Where do you want my basket located?  I don't have wheels so closer to the lot would be good.

Final Four....not so cool for Paul who is about 200ft shorter then the big arms.  How many spots did he fall in cashing from the last 4?  You play well and then get smoked by big arms on ludicrious holes..not cool.  I would not do this again.  Maybe a skins for 4 holes.  Top 4 open and have a raffle for others to get into the skins as partners and play alternate shot.  or something ..  



Please don't have a final for all players, just the best.  



We had 6 in our group all day following..I mean waiting on another 6'em all day.  Smaller groups..Yes.



OB...don't care either way as long as it is clearly stated.   Kind of liked the rule that we used when I overdrove "C" from the long and had a leaner on the curb on the entrance road.



I also don't like having AMs getting cash....but Jim and I have discussed this before and he likes it that way.  It promotes bagging in the long run.

[Myk]

We could always talk to DR. DYE and see if he'd be willing to donate his dyeing abilities for a couple of discs.

[Myk]

I'll bring my skillshot, too.  we actually need the baskets this time, right??

[Myk]

Why not have each player in a foursome keep track another person's (in the same 4 some of course) score?  Seems pretty reasonable to me.  Or you could just have everyone keep track of their own score and hope everyone is honest.

CE ROC :-) Umm another mini hole I liked that :-)

[myndcraft]

Ofcourse you can count on my help and that would mean Fernandos then too :-)

[myndcraft]

Well me and Fernando will be there I may or may not be playing. Last night on my way home from work while walking to th train I hurt my ankle and leg while going down the stairs. The steps leading into the CTA staition are brick and when it rains(like yesterday) filled with water. So Im walking down trying to avoid the huge pnds and a brick was missing! Ofcourse I didn't see it stepped in it, twisting my right ankle and sending me flying down the stairs. It's okay though because my let leg stopped all my momentum :-( You should have heard what I said to the cta guy downstairs. Too bad I didn't break my leg or something I would sue....



OKay sorry for drifting... Either way though I will be there, is there anything else that needs to be brought?

What do you guys think?

Well I liked everything you liked to start. As for things I would like to see different....



]]I didnt have a problem with the amount of players per card I was always in a group of 4 I think, but if we wanted to do this we would need more..



]]HOLES, I think 14 or 15 per round would be good, but 18 would be even better :-) *insert random suggestion* I think we should sometime someyear have an Iron (wo)man tournament. LIke 6 rounds of 18 holes :-) I know I would play :-)



]]I agree with the OB curb ruling, even thoughit has saved my but once before



]]The Final Four... Hmm thats a toughy... I REALLY REALLY enjoyed watching the pros throw those last holes, it really was awe inspiring. As long as they different divisions were one after another so I could watch them guys through(assuming I would ever make a final four) I like the idea. We would have to come up with different holes I think though, because no am's/adv save Mirth have that kind of D.

[JOsh]

Coun me in to help.  And I'd like to help sponsor something as well if possible, maybe CTP again or something like that.  I'll send you a private message about it though.

[JOsh]

I say we raffle off Kyle.  He's a nice guy and great at designing logos :-)

[JOsh]

Pat-it appears as if you will probably get to keep your tag for another week :-)  I'm not going to be able to make it Saturday.  Too much stuff going on with the wedding and we are closing on our house this week so I think I'm gonna take a hiatus for a little while.  Good luck guys and have fun.

Also, I think we should have a score card for each player. It makes is much easier & faster. This way we don't have to fill out score cards each round.

The only problem with that system is that its a lot of score cards for the player keeping score to shuffle thru on each hole.

I think we should really stick to PDGA rules.



It is cumbersome to flip thru 4 score cards, you can debate how combersome it is, but if you only have 12 holes, you only have to fill out 12 score cards in between each round. That's only 36 cards for the day. Doing a score card for each person would be about the same or possibly more depending on turn out.

[Jon Brakel]

PDGA rules allow for combined and individual score cards. I was referring to keeping the scores yourself is not allowed by PDGA rules. Of course when its your turn you do keep your score, but part of that is to announce the scores after each hole, including your own.



The combined or individual cards is just a preference, and I was just making my preference known.
