2ND ANNUAL BEVIER BLAST

[shawn]

I would not do more then 5 a hole.....

[shawn]

looks like it might t-storm 6 would really be slow.

Hey Al, what is up with your brother Adrian?  I saw a post that someone saw him playing at parkside when we were there.  Why didn't you guys stop to say "hi."  I think this has gone on to far, your the 1 that shunned him at leagues that day not us.  I looked at the confirmed for the blast and saw your name but not his.  Tell him that Shawn said to stop this childish behavior and show up for the Blast, let's forget about it and move on.  I don't want to hear about Adrian sightings, I want to see him back on top of the standings again......

How about I bring my basket to bevier Friday afternoon and drop it off with somebody there.  Maybe that somebody can give me the 411 on new hole locations for the blast, I really would like to play them.  I'm also not going to be able to make best shot, I'll be up at Devils Lake.

What time you playing Parkside?  I have the day off and will meet you if you want to shot a round together.  Otherwise, I should be at Bevier at 2...

Day before a tourney, I wash the disc I plan on using, trim nails, get water, snacks, chair, get clean towels, umbrella if chance of rain to keep disc and towels dry, cash and most important walk thru the course in your mind and know what your going to do before you step foot on the pad and don't let anyone change your mind by thinking that "he used a valk, I should probaly use 1 too."  Know your game, relax and most of all just have fun.  When it is no longer fun your game suffers.  Hope this helps.

Every tournament that I have played in, we braved the elements.  Have played in sideways rain/sleet mix that had people not having a good time, but if you prepare yourself for it you might accually have fun and laugh at others being miserable.  The only reason to stop is if sever weather is happening and then horns will go off to stop play and then start up again once it has passed or rain has slowed down.  If it rains I find that a golf umbrella, plenty of towels that can be hung in the umbrella to dry off, a wide brimmed hat and my secret is a hand warmer to keep hands dry.  Keep disc under your shirt until you are ready to throw, it is important to keep the grip on the disc dry so that it will not slip out before you want it to.  Also if it is wet out, play from behind your drive.  What I mean is don't put a mini down unless you need the extra few inches.  Every time you put 1 down and move your disc you are getting your hands wet again.

Scores?? Does anybody know who won what?

[Myk]

I can take Kenosha and Libertyville if no one else wants it.

I have two flyers, but no sleeves or anything.  I was going to hang them at Parkside, but it's been trying to rain all week and I didn't want to waste good flyers.  I can bring some to the Parkside league (which plays on Mondays) and try to get the word out to those guys.  Do we have flyers for the club and league as well?  I think some of the guys at the Parkside league would probably be interested in playing with us as well.

[Myk]

I know it would take a lot, but we could use string to mark the out of bounds if we needed to.  Or we could get that stuff that the city uses to mark water and power lines.  Or we could ask the soccer players to line up along side the holes.  They can practice passing while we drive!!

[Myk]

Jojo and I talked about it the other night and I'm almost certain that he's going to play in the Advanced division.

[Myk]

That's beautiful!!!  The big yellow van is always loaded with a ton of plastic.  I can't wait to play!!

[Myk]

Jojo got the day off work, so he's in!!

[Myk]

I got $1 that says 60+ people show up.

[Myk]

Stellar idea!!  I've got a couple discs that need to be replaced, too.  Hopefully they'll get there early enough for us to get some plastic and throw it for a while to get used to it.  I don't think I'd buy something that I intended to use without throwing it at least once ot twice first.

[Myk]

Hey Mirth, I can volunteer for myself just fine.  :P



Seriously though, I have absolutely no problem picking up an extra pin from somewhere.  Just let me know where to go.  I'm sure Jojo can bring his pin too if you need it.



Hey Brett, what time are you getting to the course on Friday?  I have the whole day off, thank god, and would love to help out and play a bit.  Let me know when to be there.

[Myk]

I'm probably going to play a quick round at Parkside when I wake up, and then head over to Bevier.  I figure I'll be there between 2 and 3.

[Myk]

I'll probably be at Parkside sometime around 11 or so, and then heading to Bevier straight after.

[Myk]

Although Allison can't play the tourney, she said she'd come down after work, which gets done about 12.  I'll ask her again about what time she can get there.  if it's the right timing, I'm sure she wouldn't mind being a spotter/measuring type person.
