4th DISContinuum Blast!

[Bruce Brakel]

That is a gorgeous disc that Dr Dye has for an avatar at this moment!  I wish I had the patience to do that kind of work.  

I'm looking at over a dozen trophy discs here thinking, "Which one should I post on Discontinuum, and how many of them should I remember to bring to the tournament?"  

[Bruce Brakel]

The "White First" is a little more distinguishable than the way it scanned.  I like the herring bone pattern on this one.  I did two or three with the herring bone.

I was really looking forward to coming out to this tournament. Things are just not looking up. After looking forward to lockport tournament saturday, i got done auctioning saturday night and got a phone call from my mom, she told me my brother had got in an accident with her car. Turns out he was drunk and out driving with his g/f and went off the road and flipped the car over a few times (completely totalled the car) and mananged to get them both out alive (remarkably). I can just image how they felt is my son ok is he hurt he was in the hospitol in a neck brace, he was ok and was sent to jail for the dui and other violatoins. His g/f had minor cuts and bruises. My dad just put $1000 into fixing that car to run for a while longer, and had just taken full coverage off 2 days prior. I went through a lot of emotion and thought i could have lost my only brother. Sunday came i headed out to lockport for the tournament in my sisters geo (it gets great gas milage way more than my piece) i got there i felt good had good putting drives were ok. The first round went horible played worst golf, found out chris heerin also played very bad, i was in 10th or so and thought ok i can go out there and shoot a good round, i continued to struggle on this watery, wooded course of confusion. ended out of the money, my first no prize of the year and first out of top 5 tournament. just a horrible day for me got home went to bed and thought ok tomorrow will be ok i will go to the ace race in milwaukee with my g/f and well have a fun day. Driving in my sisters geo once again everything looked good looked forward to the day ahead (so i thought) about 10 miles out of milwaukee the car decided to act up it didnt want to go anywhere something was wrong i pulled over and tried to see what it was, couldnt figure it out (dumb foreigh cars) Went to start the car up and there was nothing, god what could go wrong now. Started walking to the next exit about a mile and a half with my g/f. Suddenly a car decided to pull over, oh man what kind of sicko is gonna pick us up and try to rape us or something the worst things are goin through my head, it was a couple i was releived, they were really nice i told them about my disc golf event, they said they both played disc golf how cool, they talked about differnt parks one with people who fly model planes and then droped us off at the gas station. Tried callin home didnt know what to do it wasnt my car. my dad came and picked me up got there at 1:30 the car died at 10:45. We headed into the nearest town trying to find a place who could work on the car nothing was open (holiday). We ended up thinking we should come back tomorrow. We headed home, i could only think that my sisters car she has done so much to, tomorrow is her first day of school, all she talked about was wanting to have a car to take to school. i told her she can use my van whenever, and i will pay to fix her car even if she says she is gonna pay cuz she says it wasnt my fault. All in all i donated money this weekend to a tournament, gas in my sisters car, and now fixing her car. Just dont know if i will have the funds for this tournament, these are the times when i wish i had a sponsor. Sorry for boring you with my story and my problems. Heres what i think about this weekend 8===D ~ :')

that sucks about your brother, and the geo

my brother had a couple duis, got his license taken away, and kept driving and got caught.

now he has to goto classes and shit and spend a bundle on lawyers. make sure your bro handles the legal situation or it could be a mess.

everything happens for a reason man, dont let it get you down

Justin,

Sorry to hear about your weekend. Hope your bro & his gf are ok.

As for the tournament, don't let it get you down. Even the best pros have a bad day here & there. That course is tough and weird. Were you playing it blind?

Only Bruce has applied for the Brett sponsorship. I think your situation deserves the sponsorship if you want it. I will pay the $32.00 entry fee for you to play silver. Brett sponsorships work like this. You get to play the Blast PDGA Event for free & get a rating/points. You also get to play for a trophy. If you win it, it is yours. Any CTP's won go to you. If you cash, the brass cash goes to me. Let me know if you are interested.

I'll be out at Bevier around 2:30PM today. I'm going to do some weed whacking on hole #27 & C3. I'm also going to try to fix basket A so it's not so high. After that i'm going to play for a while.  

[Bruce Brakel]

I applied for Brett's sponsorship only because I had a funny story to tell about begging.  I'll gladly withdraw my application in favor of Justin's.

That trophy disc looks nice Bruce. How does the Silver Division look?

Whats your plan for fixing hole A? Taking it out of the ground & hacksawing off the extra 6" from the pole and using the holes drilled by DGA

For some reason, Silver Third looks a whole lot cooler than Silver First!

I'm not sure yet. I have to see what I can do when I get out there today.

[mirth]

Gonna be tough if its welded....

[CEValkyrie]

Mike & I did some weed whacking tonight on hole #27 & C. The course is looking good.

I could not fix the basket. It need to be reinstalled to fix it correctly. Looks like we have to putt at a high basket. Nothing like a really low basket on #6 the heading to a really high basket on A .

I will be out at the course tomorrow night painting the tee lines & next tee arrows. I'll be playing afterwards.  

[D]

I'll be out at Bevier tomorrow sometime around 5-6 with my buddy who wants to play the course

I want to get in on tags but I seem to have left it at Round Lake when I got raped by thoes bees. .

Anyone taking care of my big 'ol whatever huge number I now have? I want to get in on Bevier tags

Diron,
    Dan & I will be out at Bevier today. I'll probably be getting there around 3:15pm. I'm going to paint the lines today for the tees. After we get done with that we'll probably play for tags. I'm not sure how long i'm going to stay tonight though.

BTW, I threw your #51 tag in the car & will give it to you.

Since all of our normal Sunday tournament volunteers are busy this weekend, I could use some help. Please see me Sunday morning if you can help out.

Thanks!
