Ate at Spot Coffee in downtown Rochester tonight.  I highly recomend it!

So who is coming from Chicago/Illinois? I know from the Charlotte and surrounding NC region we have 25 or so players going up with a nice mix of Advanced, Masters and female players. It looks like it is going to be nice weather (at least compared to what we have had down here lately).

[CEValkyrie]

Just got a text from Steven. Kyle and Steven are Doubles World Champs!

Hey, good luck all you near-chicago mid-westerners, and congrats to Kyle and Steve! Where do we find those doubles results, anyway? 

[JakeJacobs]

Oh, and congrats to a couple of folks I've enjoyed casual rounds with: Ryan and Colleen on their mixed doubles win...World Champions from greater Chicagoland!

[dana]

Way to represent.

If it isn't someone from IL, I bet it will be the kid from Bama or Dan Hastings that wins.

I will say the MMA fighter turned disc golfer

I will say the MMA fighter turned disc golfer

I would also like to see Ben Askren do well.  Because he is more famous than any actual professional disc golfer, he may bring some additional exposure to the game.  His many achievements, including being in the Olympics, are listed on his wikipedia page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Askren

Matt Travis and Kyle Chapman posted on facebook....
Matt is almost in LAST place of his pool.
and Kyle said he shot like dogshit, and way back from 1st place.


doesn't sound good. Kyle might still be on his high from being crowned junior world champ?

Didn't realize they were playing U-19.

Also didn't see that Billy Dunne was playing.  He def. would have been a pick.

[Dan Michler]

Several big gunners in the B Pool.  I see player ratings of 997, 991, 988, 987, and 982.  Pretty good odds the winner is coming out of that group.  Right now Billy Dunne (991) leads with a 1022 rated Round 1.

Spencer Wilken with a 1030 rated Rd 1 to pace the A pool.  Kenny 5 back of that pace with a nice round.

Steven with a solid 962 rated Round 1.  6 off the pace.

Good luck in Round 2 guys.

[CEValkyrie]

Steven just texted and said he shot awesome. 2nd place 3 shots back.

[dana]

Good to hear Steven had a good 2nd round.  Spencer in 1st? Not bad.

Billy Dunne has been playing pro for a few years, turning down cash.  Really solid forehand.  He throws big distance backhanded.

Should be a fun week watching the scores roll in.

[pdga#7648]

after 2 rounds, Dunne is -10

Spencer fell to -4, while KennyG moved up with his 1001 rated 53. he is -3
