PDGA DISCussion Board

[drdye]

Man, you guys....

I think this is discussion forum... not an argument forum.  I think that anyone taking these discussions personally to the point of argument is ridiculous !!!  I dont think that non-Discontinuum members(or members for that matter) are coming here to read our discussion page for the purpose of club members bickering at eachother!!!  It really think that it looks poorly on us as a club, and my personal opinion is that if you dont have something nice to say, dont say it at all!!!  

Sorry for the thread drift, but come on,  this is really BS!!!  Isnt there a Officers only forum???  You guys wanna fight, put that shit in there, I am sick of reading you guys fight!!!  If you have something constructive to say about the PDGA discussion page say that here!!!  If not, move it somewhere where I dont have to read about it!!!


Nothing personal on against any parties involved, I am just tired of it!!!

I have been trying to participate in constructive discussion. If I have failed in that and it seems like I'm argumentative, I appologize. If your comment wasn't directed at me, then I say, hear hear!

Let me make it very clear.
I am sick of Bruce's didactic and judgmental soapbox preaching all the time. ... And it is NOT behavior a PDGA State Rep should display.

Actually, it was my platform when I ran for state coordinator.  Dale Noel was the nice guy, go-along-get-along candidate who everyone could count on to stay clear of controversy.  I put in my rather brief campaign statement that I would continue to be a gadfly to those who think the amateur divisions should be run for the benefit of the pro divisions.  When I ran for state coordinator I was already a message board prick.  I promised not to change my tune.  

But I'm still looking for answers to those questions:

Did any of you play Tower Ridge?

Was there a $25 player pack?

Was it worth $25 in the sense that you would have paid $25 for it?

What was in it?

Instead of answers all I get is invective about my style.

Bruce, I played Tower ridge a few years ago and got a cheap tag for a players package.  It was ran quite poorly, I remember that it was running an hour late because the TD's kid ran out of gas...he wanted to play.

I'll never go back to this event as an AM again, maybe when I turn Pro, 5 years from now...masters baby!


We should talk about how it is not worth it to go Pro and get into slightly friendlier topics.

I think "turning pro" has created a bunch of our current PDGA tournament directors. I'm not sure how many, but there are a bunch of TDs out there that are pros who haven't played tournaments in years. Since they couldn't compete, they started running tournaments. I know for Gary Lewis it was an injury that took him from player to TD, but for some it was turning pro after playing well at a small tournament and thinking they were ready for the show.

For me, I like being one of the only Rec playing TDs. I just keep telling people that I'm a better TD than a player!

Bruce

My guess? That's Nick Kight and he was googling either tower ridge or player pack or both.

The KCWO Rip-off Thread finally got started at PDGA.com.  If you enjoyed the No Foolin' Rip-off Thread, this is another not to be missed.

For Diron and other new players, every year that there has been a KC Wide Open and a PDGA.com discussion board, there has been a KCWO Rip-off Thread that starts a day or two after the event and goes on for a week or two.  

[Jon Brakel]

I got the full Klemrock treatment. I tried to be as nice as I possibly could.

I replied at the same time you were Jon. I encourage anyone that attended the event to post on that thread. We have nothing to hide. How about the 1st Place Advanced player walking away with $150.00 funny money plus $15.00 more from him choosing the funny money player pack. WOW.

The thing I find most amusing is that 3 of those questions a certified official and someone that has run a pdga event should know.

Whatever.  If the thread stays fresh, more people learn about the series.  If people ask questions, even bizarre questions from left field, you get a chance to repeat your talking points.

Bart Zandstraa is not shy.  If paying the juniors 46 and a trophy on 46 in entry fees did not work for him, we would have heard.

A Wisconsin player said nice things about IOS #2 at the pdga.com discussion board under the Discontinuum topic area.  

[Bruce Brakel]

Under "Players" the Cam Todd thread has been interesting.  I have been restrained in what I have been saying since I'm one of the judges of the issue, but that iqbal sure is full of it.  He is not helping Cam Todd by confronting the evil conspirators on the PDGA BoD!  

I just figured out what the    face means!  Google is so useful.

[mirth]

Heh. I was going to mention that thread, but decided against it. Its a funny read, all however many pages of crap it is...
