SUMMER BEST SHOT

[vanmaster_b]

mirth (04-08-2002 12:04 a.m.):



One question regarding handicaps & midwest - Lets say an Am gets bumped up to the higher pool to satisfy pairing requirements or whatever... Is the player still considered to be AM or lower for handicap purposes, or does that player assume Advanced status for the round?

I would suggest that even though a player was moved into the upper pool for partner selection purposes, that player still retains his/her status (Adv, Am, Nov, Jr) for paired handicap scoring and midwest handicap scoring. Thus, an Am. in the upper pool will still have an Am. handicap. Is that fair?

Sorry the spacing is screwed up. It was fine when I wrote it.

[vanmaster_b]

Any guesses on how many people will show up to play today?



I think we will have about 14 (possibly 30).

How many do you think we'll have next week?

That was lucky! For the record I'll say 12 for next week.



I had a thought about ties and playoffs. Maybe we can just do playoffs for the first 3 places because those have prizes (junk is a prize........really!).



Then if two teams tie for:



4th place - both teams get 2pts. plus 1 for showing (total=3), and no one gets 5th place.



5th place - both teams get 1pt plus 1pt for showing (total=2)





What do you think?

Well Brett, to put it mildly, the park was packed with people!! Suprisingly we still finished in the daylight, and no one got injured. There were also quite a few groups of non-league players out. Yesterday was the most packed I have ever seen that park, partly due to the first great day we've had in a while, and partly due to a group of folks having a party out of the back of a U-Haul.

   Al dominated again! I don't know what the scores were, but when Jim e-mails them to me I will put them up on the web (Saturday night or early Sunday). Personally, I had some terrific drives, but went from a 2 to a 4 on about five holes. Someone please send me to a putting clinic!

  The course was still a little muddy. We had to play #9 from the cement tee both rounds because of the mud. Some of the crew from last summer showed, and all of our favorite folks from the Navy Band as well.

   There are a lot of people going to be playing Best Shot this summer, which will make for some great competition (tough competition).

A quick update on last Thursday's Best Shot since Jim was out of town.



Myk and Jojo took 1st in a playoff CTP against Adrian and Angela. Al and Jay took 3rd, while Matt and myself crapped out  for 4th (and last), but hey, it's still 4th!

   Anyway, a good afternoon of disc golf by everyone.

First off, for the record..............

Good with me.....

As for Jojo being an Advanced or Amateur, that's usually left up to Jim. If someone WANTS to move up (as Matt did from Junior to Amateur), they can do that no problem.

[vanmaster_b]

...........so actually, if Jojo was playing as an Amateur on last Thursday, then Myk and Jojo would have won 1st without the playoff CTP (because of the handicap scoring). This is what Al doesn't understand. Maybe we can all gang jump him with shaving cream, crazy string and permanent marker so that he won't forget. Just an idea.

Best Shot for Thursday 5-24-02



I wasn't there, but showed up after everyone had left. Adrian saw me as he was pulling out and was kind enough to turn around and give me the update.

Adrian, Al, and Jojo showed. They played individual with regular handicaps. Adrian came in 1st, Jojo 2nd, Al 3rd. They played fast because they were gone by 7:30.

The soccer players were out in full force. There was a baseball game going on, but it could have been a scrimmage because they weren't announcing names over the P.A. No police officer was present. If there were, I would have mentioned something about the soccer players, just so it wouldn't be brand new news to him/her.

Last week was so quiet and peaceful without them there, I forgot how great it used to be to play disc golf there. This week I dropped one right in the middle of some mothers with their kids who were with the soccer players on #3 fairway. Luckily no one got hit.

[vanmaster_b]

Adrian mentioned that the soccer players are not there on Fridays (probably because they have games on Saturdays). I would not mind playing the league on Fridays.

Tuesday would be good, with it being a travel weekend the turnout would probaly not be so good for anything after the 4rth.  By the way anyone want to take a trip up to Mad City to play Elver and Token the weekend of the 4rth?

[Myk]

Thanks to all who helped me out by donating to my worthy cause of me.  Rest assured that I will be back each week to help build the pool up for the next lucky/skillful individual to hit it.  Who knows, it may even be me again.  :D

[Myk]

Does anyone know if Jojo actually moved to the upper pool last week, or if he was just "filling in"?

[Myk]

Jojo and I will most likely be there at or around 5.

[Myk]

Man, sounds like I started a trend!!



Congratz Jim!
