Ahh, I was ready to fork over my membership dues and sign up for this, until I realized its at 9am on a friday morning.  I cant call in sick and play disc golf twice in a week.

[Chainmeister]

If you call in sick today and play disc golf it would be three times and thats ok.  

[CEValkyrie]

The good news is I actually won some cash by doing it...  Now that I'm on salary I got paid for my job AND for playing disc golf.  Not a bad arrangement    

[CEValkyrie]

We only need 8 more players for a 3-some on every hole.


The putting contest will work like this.


There are 5 spots. You get 2 shots from each spot. Each spot has a point value next to it. The most points possible are 30 if all 10 putts are made. If there is a tie for fisrt place it will be a do or die playoff starting at the first spot.

You get 2 rounds from the 5 spots. Your best round will count.

1. 15ft. (1pt.)
2. 20ft. (2 pts.)
3. 25ft. (3 pts.)
4. 30ft. (4 pts.)
5. 45ft. (5 pts.)



The driving competition will work like this.

You will throw 5 drives. Your best drive will be taken. The top 5 players with the longest drive will get 2 more attempts. The best of the 7 (5&2) drives each player attempts will count for overalls.

so is that 1 shot from each spot per round then? or 2? If the 'most points possible' is 30 but only your best round counts, it sounds like 2 shots per spot per round.

[Jon Brakel]

I'm pretty sure it is 2 rounds, 2 shots from each spot per round. Best of the two rounds is counted. So, you'd take 2 shots from each position and add up your score. That would end round one. Then you'd take 2 shots from each position again for round 2.

[CEValkyrie]

Jon is correct. 2 shots from each of the 5 spots consists as a round. You get 2 rounds & take the highest of the 2.

That looks like a cool thing you got going.  Just talked to my brother and we are going.  Do we go to adler at like 9?  We both need to get memberships to how much will it cost for me and my bro to get them.  Any family discounts  lol  jk  but seriously.  Oh and little biotch Schuboy is here and said he is going.  Oh Brett and Dan I am going to smoke both of you!

Neal, how old are you & your brother. 16 & older is $15.00 for a membership which includes a bag tag. If you brother is 15 and under he gets a tag for $6.00.

We'll tee off at 9:30 so get there a little early to sign up.


I'll be at league tonight to discuss more if you'll be there.

It wil be fun!!

[Jon Brakel]

I think this is posted somewhere but I'm just confirming...

Since it is no entry fee and no payout, it is just one division, right? Assuming that is true, can we all play Open? Terry will need to play Open but since the rest of us won't need to decline the payout, then Terry will get points and the rest of us would get Open points which would be kind of cool. This would be especially cool if I manage to not come in last because then I could say that my pro debut was not DFL!!!

There are 2 divisions, Advanced & Pro.

Pros will be playing for an entry fee. If there are 2 pros, they will decide how much they want to play for. If only 1 pro shows up, I might make his entry fee $1,000,000. It will be the first million dollar payout in PDGA history . There is a good possibility 2 pros are going to be playing though. Sean Butler said he would probably play.  

[Bruce Brakel]

If two pros play make their entry fee $1,000,000 but give them a cash player pack of, oh, $999,975 or so!  Let them decide on the size of the player pack.  

If they price it low enough I might play pro.  Tell them that.  Bruce will add cash if they keep it cheap.

[Jon Brakel]

If Bruce is playing Open then I'm playing Open as well. I have a 50/50 shot at beating Bruce.

I thought I was for sure coming and bringing a junior buddy along with me but it doesn't look like he can go now.  

Is my favorite caddy going to be there?  I hope traffic doesn't suck in the morning.  I have only played Libertyville once and I have never played Warren.  I assume the directions from the PDGA site are good for getting to Adler?

The PDGA directions are good. Once you turn at the light into the park drive around the pool complex counter clockwise until you get to the big parking lot toward the back. You'll see tee number one there and a bulletin board.

Bruce is making a midnight run to come to this one so I doubt that he is bringing any kids.


Warren is a fun course but I don't think you'll need any previous play to do well there. Except for the toboggan hill it is pretty easy to play that course the first time.

[Cannon Boy]

Hey brett or anyone I have an eye appointment tommarrow at 1:30 So Can I just play the first round at adler?  After that I got to go look for a new car since mine is broke down in my driveway.  Then after that I have to go to harper soccer practice from 5 to 7:30.  I can not go to any of the 6:00 leages because I have practice every day of the week.  I was going to start going to the sat leage at fairfield but my first game is this sat  and the bus leaves at 10:45.  

Life Sucks with little time for disc golf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


PS: Dont let my brother con you into telling you he is 15.  He has his licence and is 16.  Oh and his car actually works.

[Dan Michler]

once u pay for ur membership its pretty much up to you how much you want to play.  i'm sure its cool if you want to play the 1st round but have to leave afterwards.  at least you'll get 1 free pdga rated round.  

[Dan Michler]

can't wait for tomorrow!  so glad i don't have to go to work, plus i get to play 5 tournament rounds this weekend.  thats pretty sweet.
