The two-column part describing the Blast looks a little messed up.  Maybe you need to go back and look at that.

Only for people with little monitors or big monitors with small resolution.

OK, I changed it so that people who are looking at the page at a resolution of 640X480 or whatever it is that Bruce has his 14" monitor set to might be able to see something meaningful.

[Bruce Brakel]

Thank you.  It is totally not messed up now.

I have some CTP's to add to the event.

1. Innova Hat & Innova Mini
2. Discraft Hat & Discraft Mini
3. XL Milwaukee Open Shirt & Pumkin Mini
4. 2004 PDGA Course Directory & Gateway Double Mini
5. Marshall Street DVD & Towel + Discraft Mini for Ams
6. Marshall Street DVD & Towel + Ching Mini for Pros

Dan has a few items he's adding as well. I'll post those at a later date.

[Bruce Brakel]

That is cool and generous.  Maybe we could run donated in advance CTPs as morning CTPs, and entry fee paid for CTPs as afternoon CTPs.  I'll look around for what I can donate.

Dang was just looking at my soccer schedule and I have a game at 1, which means bus leaves at 11, leaving no chance to make the tourney.  Looking forward to the tourney at Fairfield though.  I want to try and play both days there to make up for missing this one.

That is true only if you choose to play the soccer game and not the disc golf tournament.  If you are reaching the basket in two throws at #18 Fairfield, you probably have a lot more potential in this game than in soccer.

either that or this boy belongs in the MLS.

Yeah those are valid statements but I have played soccer all my life and play all game every game at Harper as a freshman.  Plus not all of golf is long drives.  It is more consistancy and focus.  You do not see the long drive ball golfers in any of the major tours doing well usually.  I love both games but I am on a team and I can not let them down.  I like disc golf because it is an individual sport but if you miss a tourny you can only be mad at yourself, not have a bunch of peaple pissed at you.

Well, how do you think I feel. I don't even have the long drives to help me. Now to work on consitency and...

I have 5 portable baskets at my house right now. Sergio said it's ok to use his i'm getting Fred Vroman's.

I need 3 more baskets. Shawn, are you attending the Blast? If so, can I barrow Craig's & your basket?

Spike, can I barrow you basket?

Greg, you said you were going to attend and bringing your basket. Is this still the case?

I saw this at the PDGA website:
-------

PDGA to assist Hurricane Katrina Victims
The PDGA and disc golfers everywhere join the nation in expressing concern for victims of Hurricane Katrina. We are grateful to the many members who have contacted PDGA HQ with offers of assistance. This is to let everyone know that we are in the process of organizing a charitable event structure kicking off with the Southern Nationals Pro Championship, Sept. 3-4/05 in Holly Springs, MS. All player fees will be donated to a charity providing relief to Katrina's victims. Stay tuned for more details.

Since we are not paying too much in entry fees for the Blast would it be worthwhile to collect some cash for a donation?  I know that we are all getting hit in multiple places and asked to dig into our pockets, but this might be worthwhile.  Just throwing this out there as a suggestion.

I borrowed my basket to Roundhouse for his event in October...  wasn't sure if I'd see him before the event again....

I have 2 Chings if you want them.

Here is the course routing for the Blast. Safair Hole #3 for the pros is SWEET!

[Dan Michler]

yes that is a very fun hole.   make 1 good long drive to set yourself up for another 400 or so foot shot over the pond to try to get to the basket.  2 great shots can get you a 3, but its probably a par 5 since most people would rarely get a chance to really go for the green in 2.
