5th Annual Widdershins Open

[mirth]

yeah, that's totally the Widdershins Wizard. silly

Mostly sunny.  High 62.  About the only downside here is the possibility of intermittant White Sox Victory Parades?  Y'all watched it on TV.  Skip the parade.  Play Widdershins.

There will be a couple minor changes to the usual tournament layout on Saturday.

Turns out WPD recently resodded the base lines & infield in the ball diamond, so F's basket will be where G's tee is on the map, and G's tee will be more like left center field instead of center to right center field. Drop zone will be in the same place, and while the infield won't be declared a stroke OB you will be strongly encouraged to avoid it to your best ability.

Cleaned up 4 bags of trash from the woods this afternoon. Course looks great!

I will be out tomorrow afternoon after 2:30 putting out tee flags & marking basket locations/tee lines if anyone wants to preregister or come play the course.

[mirth]

Course is all set up! All we need are the temp baskets in their locations & people to throw at them.

Weather.com says tomorrow will have highs in the low 60s w/SSW winds 10-15MPH.

Night forecast has lows around 40 w/SSW winds 1-5MPH. The moon sets tomorrow afternoon at 4:23PM. It will be *dark* in the park.

Tournament went great today! Thanks to all 58 who came out.

11 of us stayed around for glow this evening. No aces were hit during the tournament & glow, so the ace fund rolled into glow doubles payouts.

More info after I've slept...

Mirth, great job on running the tourney. Thank you for all the hard work. The only thing that could have been better was my score  

[Chainmeister]

just wondering...did you ever post results?

[mirth]

results, schmezults....

Actually, I've had very little free time since the Widdershins. I'll try to get them posted next week when work will be fairly quiet.

[Chainmeister]

results, schmezults....

To tell you the truth, that was my initial reaction.  Its sort of like putting on a tight pair of pants after eating a pizza.  You know you really don't want to know but you ask anyway.  

Whenever sounds good to me.  If you can make tomorrow's weather remotely close to the weather we had at Widdershins, I would be plenty happy.

I thought I saw a post a few weeks ago about the Wizards from 2005 Widdershins cracking. Can't find the post but figured I'd put mine here.

Mine just cracked, too. Just putting in the back yard, either off the top of the basket or off the brick wall of the house. Neither with a heck of a lot of force, and it's about 40 degrees out.  

Alert Quality Control....

[Cannon Boy]

I had a black one that also cracked on me.  That plastic looks sweet but will not last 4 days.

[Schuboy]

Hey Mirth you still have that red hooded sweatshirt that is mine.  Also when are the results going to be posted
