Henry Pfau Callahan Memorial Disc Golf Tournament

[Jon Brakel]

Whatever you decided, Mr. TD, I'll be there to help out! I plan on playing but can lend a hand before/after/between rounds. And I will have my basket there. If you need my basket for the Widdershins, remind me before the event and I can it to you or Brett or someone. Flip City has 24 baskets in the ground, so I won't need mine that weekend.

[Jon Brakel]

I will be there Jim with my basket volunteering as per my post.

[Jon Brakel]

I would like to suggest that even though this isn't a PDGA event, that we do play by PDGA rules. OB would then be defined as completely surrounded by OB, rather than the rule that is often explained with the curb.



Jim, if you are using mandos, have you read the PDGA mando rules? They changed last year. Now you don't "unwind", you play from a drop zone.

[Jon Brakel]

Since scoring will be between rounds, I can help with that also.

I'm glad to hear it went well.  I was a non-officiating player on Saturday, and the non-playing official on Sunday at that B-tier at Kensington.  I played with 50 players on Saturday and officiated 88 players on Sunday.  I also was the transportation chief for the junior girls division.  Otherwise I would have been at the HPC, I think.



Illinois boy, Jason McKinney, won in advanced and left a very good impression



Jim, at the No Foolin' this coming weekend, March 29 and 30, Hudson Mills Metropark, Ann Arbor, MI, they will be offering a Pro 2 division.  I understand that you have life issues that are keeping you close to home, but I thought I'd mention it.  You could eat and sleep free at the Windcroft B&B using Jon's reservations.  The Windcroft is 45 minutes from the course but the proprietors are disc golf friendly and will even do early breakfast for players.  It is a no-smoking facility, however.

no matter how hard I try I can never get someone to work for me on Sat mornings.  So, unfortunatly I will not be attending.  Good luck to all and see you on Sunday.

Website is updated on the HPC Memorial!

http://discontinuum.org/Events/HPCMem03.html

arrgh, wish I'd seen this last night, was out in Lombard today. (how'd I do? depends on which round....)



I should be out there again in the next couple weeks and will post flyers out there.

[damonshort]

Are the alt tees being played for the 2nd/3rd rounds?

[damonshort]

I put a flyer up at Buffalo Grove today.

Or you could just have everyone keep track of their own score and hope everyone is honest.

that depends on who shows up ;) (present membership excepted, of course...)



Shuffling through the cards is not that big a deal, IMO, esp. since it's only a 12-hole round. Could come out to 3 holes a player.

[damonshort]

Jon Brakel (03-06-2003 06:57 p.m.):





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.

I don't really care either way, but is that really a PDGA rule? I know I've played at least one pdga event where the individual scorecards were kept separately...

Jim (03-18-2003 11:33 a.m.):



I'll be bringing 2 coolers with ice, but we could prob use a few more.  Any volunteeers?

I can bring a cooler, but probably won't have time to pick up ice.



Although looking at the forecast, may not *need* ice...;)

[damonshort]

are there actually mandatories for this? where??



(they were mentioned on the flyer...)

Any feedback on what went well & anything that might need to be modified for the Widdershins.

I had a great time too (in spite of anxiety over my car situation, which actually may have been enough of a distraction to help my play ;)). I'll probably miss the Widdershins only because I'm hoping to play Peoria that wknd, but my .0002 anyhow...



I liked everything that Brett liked. I would also like Brett's arm, but that's another topic.









(well, I'd prefer Dave Keel's arm, but I'd settle for Brett's....)

What I would do different.

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

I thought some of the groups were a little big, but after thinking about it, smaller groups assigned to 'more holes' would have increased the chances of groups overrunning one another (or whatever), and there's the situations where certain players want to play together (or maybe *not* want to play together ;p ). Might be a moot point when the next tournament gets a max turnout....

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

That could be interesting if a bit time-consuming. Perhaps get someone in scuba gear to retrieve the drives across the pond...

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

Absolutely. $15 for 12 holes of DG seemed a little steep to me.

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.

Seems to me that the outer edge (street edge) of the *top* of the curb should be the OB line, not the part extending into the street (the 'cement crack').



i.e. if a disc is flat on the street (below the *top* of the curb), it's out if it's not touching the vertical part of the curb;



on top of the curb (flat) hanging over the street, it's in;



resting against the *vertical* part of the curb from the street (.....  |\ ) at any angle, it's in (line of verticality or whatever).

The HPC Memorial will be on Saturday, March 22nd.

Any help members can give would be EXCELLENT and appreciated!!!

I'm basically pretty useless first thing in the morning, mostly I communicate with grunts and by pointing, but count me in to help, too.  If nothing else, I'm good for carrying heavy things and being a gopher.  I'll be happy to help with setting up temps, marking OB, helping with registration, whatever you need.  Unless I hear different, I will plan on being there around 7:30(ish).

[ochreogre]

We'll JOsh, if it's any consolation, this is the week I was gonna whup you anyway, so you're lucky you aren't going to be there.  ;)  



Seriously, good luck with the house and all the other fun stuff.  :)

[ochreogre]

Jim (03-15-2003 09:47 a.m.):

I also need a volunteer to buy a mix of bottled pop, bottled/boxed juice, and bottled water. You will be reimbursed the day of the event.

Do you have a volunteer for this yet?  If not, I'll be happy to grab some 2-litre's of everything.  Some regular soda, some diet, some apple juice, some orange juice, some bottled water *not* from France, and whatever else we need.  :)

Let me know!

[ochreogre]

My pleasure!  Glad I can do something to help out!  



I've got one big cooler I can bring, and I will stop for some ice on the way down that morning.  I think the Marathon right there on the corner of Sheridan and Old York Town Road sells ice, so that will work out pretty well.  Anything else, let me know!

[ochreogre]

York Town : Yorkhouse



Potatoe : Al Gore



As long as someone knew what I meant!  Thanks for the tip, mirth!
