Thanks Mitch. 

Hello everyone-

Registration closes in a week - Thursday, 5/31. Anyone planning on registering through USPS should get it in the mail by week's end. Remember, no mail service this Monday. Online registration is also available at http://www.s-curvediscgolf.com.

This event should payout about 170%. The players' packages are great. This year's raffle has $2,000 worth of great merchandise including 5 baskets!!! Plus, there will be almost $1,400 in ctp prizes including a couple of surprises.

I will be at the Greater Milwaukee Open this weekend and would be happy to take anyone's registration there

Please contact me at mike@s-curvediscgolf.com with any questions.

Thanks,


Mike

Mike,

This might seem trivial, but are you planning to have TD results in by June 12 so that WBTYA results will be included in the next ratings update?  Might be a bit more incentive for me to come out.

[Mike_Batka]

Yes - the results will be submitted to the PDGA within a few days of the tournament. 

Hope to see you up here,


Mike

The event is just a few days away. Registration has picked up considerably over the past couple of days. Online registration at http://www-s-curvediscgolf.com has been extended and will remain available through Friday. On site registration will be offered on a first come, first served basis each day beginning at 8:00 at Sussex Bowl.

The raffle is not limited to tournament participants so anyone is welcome to take a shot at winning fantastic prizes including 5 baskets. Also, keep in mind that you do not need to be present to win. If you can make it, the raffle will take place at Sussex Bowl following the awards ceremony on Sunday.

Please contact me at mike@s-curvediscgolf.com with questions. I hope to see a lot of you there.

Thanks,


Mike

Can't wait for this!! It's been hell being inside at work all this week.

Wham Bam was great fun.

Thanks to Mike Batka and his staff for well run show

I'll second that.  It blew me away when he said if it rained during the morning round that he would take wet towels over to the laundromat to dry them out during lunch! 

I enjoyed the Sussex Village course.  It may not be the toughest in the world, but the elevation changes and pin placements made for lots of fun.  A great, well manicured park setting.

Thirded.

Thanks to Mike & crew for running things well & thinking of the players. Very fun despite my scores.

I'd have to say my first round card was probably the most fun I've had in a tourney round. We were trash talking the whole way through.  Thanks Marie Schwinn(on the juice  ), Kyle Scuglik, & Steve Cohn.

Special thanks to Steve, who, after noticing my last name from an Ebay purchase, put 2 & 2 together, & messaged me the night before that he would bring the disc & give me back my shipping $.

This is a good event for Am players to keep on the look out for next year.Sussex is a fun course that has some different shots & some great elevation changes, especially for players from IL. The fact that he caps it makes sure that it moves smoothly. I think I only waited to throw a hole about 2-3 times throughout the day.

More on the event later. Just wanted to post that scores should be online tomorrow (6/04). Also, I will be calling everyone who won raffles prizes, but was not there to claim them.

Results are now online for your viewing pleasure. Thanks to the players, sponsors and everyone else who helped make this year's event a big success. There were 226 discs given away in the players' packs. CTP prizes included 79 more discs, 2 pairs of Quadshocks, two $25 gift certificates and 2 baskets. Plus, the raffle included well over $2,000 in prizes including 5 more baskets. Marie Schwinn and Carla Gomez both shot a new women's tournament record -4. Ben Singer and Chris Bunke aced holes 7 and 13 respectively. The official results will be submitted to the PDGA prior to the next ratings deadline of 6/12.
