I have 25 Candy Wraiths for sale. $16 each. They are CFRs for the 2006 Worlds with the big star stamp. $5 of each sale goes to the EIEIO 2k6 general fund, so you can support two great tourneys at once while getting the latest and greatest super-driver from Innova. :)

PM me in interested reserve your disc. I should be at Emerald on Sunday at noon, where you can pick them up.

Cool Bring some !!!! :D

Thanks everybody for supporting the EIEIO tourney by buying the CFR Wraiths. There are 4 left and they are at the Emerald Isle pro shop. $16 each, so stop by and get yours while they last.

Only 1 left - Pink 175gr

That's good news for the EIEIO tourney. :)

That disc has a tiny bubble in the rim. It's also the darker "manly pink" color. A lot more red in it that the hot pink with rainbow stamp one I have in my bag. :D

I'm working on another fundraising/great_disc opportunity. Should have some news soon.

the supercolor midnight buzzz?????

Candy Glow Buzzzz ?

I now have 10 (of only 200 made) CryZtal Avengers for sale. They don't have weights on them so I'll weigh them later today. They have the red stamp of the Plantation course that will host The Players Cup tourney later this year.

All proceeds go towards EIEIO and The Players Cup. PM me if you want one of these rare discs. $30 each.

rhett selling discraft discs....

that means only one more sign for the apocalypse to come now

Need my help any Keith ? :cool:

rhett selling discraft discs....

I think this is actually the 7th seal, not the 6th, for the trumpets are blaring and the winds are, indeed, already hurting the Earth.

Not that I can afford one [not that they're not worth it], but did you weight the discs, yet? Jimmy the Innova moulder says light weights [6+ grams below max] are tough to 'make' in clear discs.

p.s. Any grief from Innova Diehards about this? :( :D

They are all right about 170g, with 1 that is 164g. That 164 might be mine. :) Well, if my buddy Scot wants it I'll have to settle for one of the 170s.

They are dead clear with a big red hotstamp. No real grief yet, except from Keith Johnson. :) Thanks go to Keith Murray for the chance to raise funds for EIEIO with these discs.

7 left. I'll have them at the Casitas campground this weekend. Let your Discraft throwin' buddies know that they can get one of these and help a SoCal tourney in one fell swoop. :)

When did Discraft start doing Fundraiser Disc's for San Diego ? :eek:

So Keith, do you want one or not? :)





sorry...i only throw high quality---original design---discs from INNOVA :D























i'll take one if you have a 174-175 that's not pink :eek: :D

i'll take one if you have a 174-175 that's not pink :eek: :D


Heaviest was a 171 that sold last night. The rest are all 170g except the light one. Clear with a big red Red Hawk stamp.

When did Discraft start doing Fundraiser Disc's for San Diego ? :eek:


As soon as someone actually asked?

These discs have the stamp for course for The Players Cup tourney. Some of the money from sales goes to that tourney, some of it goes to EIEIO. The deal is just like the one for the Pro Worlds Wraiths, but the prices were different.

Why so much ?

These discs have the stamp for course for The Players Cup tourney. Some of the money from sales goes to that tourney, some of it goes to EIEIO.

How much to EIEIO and How much to the Players Cup ?

The deal is just like the one for the Pro Worlds Wraiths, but the prices were different. $ 30.00 ?

Is there a certificate program , set up , like Innova's funraiser program , with specific numbers and such ?

Is there documentation for each fundraiser disc ? :confused:

Do you want one Donny?

I'm just trying to raise some money for the EIEIO tournament and thought I would give the Discraft throwers around here a chance at the stuff they like. I only got 10 discs as a test market thing, plus that was the max that Keith M would sell me since it was such a limited run. $30 is the price that Discraft says to sell them at. EIEIO gets to keep more than it did with the Wraiths, but these cost more so that seems right.

"No" to all your other questions.

It's not a big deal, Donny. Go ahead and call Tim if you'd like.

Hmmmmmmmmm................just thought you might have different Innova funraisers for sale ?



I plan on getting a design together and getting some InnColor Starfires later. I don't have either now. (Design or Starfire.) The Wraiths and the Avengers were fundraising opportunities that came up now.

i'll take one if you have a 174-175 that's not pink :eek: :D

I did pin that upshot with my first-ever throw of a Buzz after I tried to throw your favorite Starfire in the lake, didn't I? :)

Thanks Keith. Did you get the Wraiths? Send me money for them all. I'll try and ship your Avenger tomorrow or Friday. Ask around and see if any of those guys I beat out there want one. :D

Hey Rhett..................do you have any gateway , fundraiser discs ?

Nope. No Gateway or Millenium or Wham-O or Quarter-K or Lightning.

If you think you can work a deal with any of those guys that will benefit the EIEIO tourney, I'm all ears.

Hmmmmmmmm..............could be interesting if other big name companies contribute. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Hope you all like cornbeef and cabbage :D

Note to self.....Contact Karl Strauss about kegs of Green Brew :p

Patrick Strauss here, I believe we can find some green beer and some bangers and mash!

look for it by the end of the week

One Avenger left. 170g clear with red Red Hawk stamp. PM me if interested.

If you get glow hard Challengers, I guarantee a sell-out immediately /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

What are the Photon Hard Challengers like. I havent got my hands on any yet.

They should be at my office by the end of the week...and then immediately in my bag. I'll let you know :cool:

Where did I 'guarantee' a sell-out for the Avengers?...I said they would be a good sell. The Challengers are a different story, as I would buy your entire inventory.

get me a glow challenger!

I'll give you a glow challenger if the Raiders beat the Broncos on Sunday 11/13 /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I want a Glow Challenger :D

Detroit can't knock Denver out of first place. :D

Threw my photon chall last night and hit pole...just a few feet higher and I would have $125 in my pocket :mad:

What do they feel and fly like???

What do they feel and fly like???


a Challenger.

What do they feel and fly like???


a Challenger.



That was a huge help. The photon stuff feels and flys different in all the other disc I want to know what the flight changes were to the Challenger because I will prolly throw out my Pro Ds for upshots and replace them with these :D

Photon Chall: Tacky new d plastic, med stiffness, glows really long.

These things are sweet, I am picking up a stack of em this weekend. I threw the Photon buzzz once or twice as well and it was purdy sweet, nice grippy plastic and pretty much a flat top. Now I just need a photon soft magnet and and photon Pred/Avenger...Keith? :D

Isn't there an Aviar thread somewhere you guys can take this Challenger-Chat to?

Sure, no problem. But I bet Donny will post something about there being several Aviar / Putter type threads to direct this to, or something similar. Plus, he'll probably ask you about Fundraiser Putters for EIEIO 2006.
You know how Donny is /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Hey Rhett , yes , there are several Aviar / Putter type threads to direct this to.

Since we are talking about putters , are you going to have any Fundraiser Putters for EIEIO 2006 ?

Either : Discraft , DGA , INNOVA ?

InnColor drivers will be the next thing. I'm partial to Starfires, but I'll see what else they have when I'm ready to order.

OK , Glow Starfires ? Pro-Starfires ? EIEIO Starfires !!!!! :D

I'd like to take this time to mention that i hate Starfires. However, as a tournament disc, with a nice stamp, it will most likely be shelved by me, rather than thrown, regardless of disc type. So in conclusion... Do whatever the heck you want! <font color="blue"> </font>

InnColor drivers will be the next thing. I'm partial to Starfires, but I'll see what else they have when I'm ready to order.

As long as they have a InnColor disc of Skip in a Golf cart , next to a Basket !!!!! :D

Thanks to Innova and Discraft for the parterning opportunites on fundraiser discs. I was able to raise $275 for EIEIO with the Worlds Wraiths and the Players Cup Avengers.

Thanks again! It was a win-win deal where people could help out a local tourney and a big national tourney both with a single purchase.

A huge thanks also to all the people who bought discs, too. :D Your generosity is helping make EIEIO 2k6 the best EIEIO ever. Hopefully it will be so good that Keith Johnson, a longtime EIEIO sponsor, will "pull a Hysell" and come out of retirement for one more tourney.

i could be like donny and say that i'm 27% of your total sponsorship so far!
:eek:
:D

How much recognition do you need???? :) :D:)

Hey Keith , will you be able to make it out for Rhett's tourney at Emerald Isle's ?

Talked about this idea with Skip last Sunday. It sounds like a fun fundraiser idea to me (everybody buy in for a set amount of chips and play for trophies or other prizes... all the chip buy in money goes to tourney budget... if we have enough time we could even allow re-buys during the first hour or two to raise more money).

Has Skip set the 7th as the date? We should post the info so people know when-where-how, etc.

Another EI issue to make people aware of: we need a bunch of people to help install the new baskets.

I think Dave got mixed up on a couple events.

Karl Strauss is -not- providing beer for poker night (per Skip).

I DEFINITELY WAS CONFUSED IN REGARDS TO THE MANY CHARITABLE BEER DONATIONS PAT HAS GIVEN US.

But, If Pat can't help with supplying libations this time, I will step up. FREE BEER FOR ALL WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE POKER TOURNEY!!! It will be good beer too.

Thanks to everyone who came out and supported EIEIO via the very fun Texas Hold 'em fundraiser tourney Saturday night.

Congrats to Dean on the victory.

Congrats to my wife Laurie for taking 5th (out of about 32 people) on her very first time playing Hold 'em.

Laurie killed it...I think she knocked out more people than anyone else!

EIEIO2k6 Entry Form (http://socaldiscgolf.org/sub-pages/forms2006/06EIEIO_entry.pdf)

Click that link and mail it in! Max will be about 85 players. (I won't be mixing long and short pad divisions this year, so I won't necessarily get to 90 players.)

About 10 spots are already accounted for with entries on their way to me, and that doesn't even include DVINCENT! This year should be better than ever.

But.....it is still a C-tier. :) It will be fun and a good value for all entrants.

The event website will be updated soon, and once that happens this week it will be easier to keep it updated.

http://eieio.rhett.net

It still has last year's info right now, but bookmark it anyway. :)

Please mail your entry in, and then print some more out and take them to a SoCal course near you. :)

I'm all in...


But what about the new SSA? 6 holes will have entirely new pin/pad settings, with about 1.5 strokes added (cumulatively) in my estimation.

Even Micah Dorius is going to play it this year!

I told him to send in his reg early so he doesn't sit on the waiting list. ;)

Nah, but I'll be at the Ice Bowl on Saturday and I will accept entries there.

With the downgrade of the innova baskets the course will play diffirent.With nubs on the basket ,a band on the top and blowthroughs.And a sound of a car crash.A nice touch on the putting basket ,with some masking tape on the top band to stop discs from getting gouged.12 outer chains 12 inner chains this is old dga style design they have moved on to better.The design is all fly style .

Why did you go and edit out Sandy?

That's just mean...but kinda funny.

Innova discatchers are not downgrades compared to Dr. Fred's...Innova Discatchers have LESS blow throughs than Dr. Freds...Innova Discatcher's have nubs, Dr. Fred's have ridiculous roll-aways. We also bought special weather-stripping, not masking tape to protect from gouges. All in all, I would categorize EI as an upgraded course with a tough new layout...and 8 long has been de-virginized.

crap gonna miss this one! Goin to play the St Pattys again in Orangevale :P


You play pro now, Jon? EIEIO is in the same weekend of St. Pattys pro weekend.

EDIT: Sometimes I post a lot more than necessary.

crap gonna miss this one! Goin to play the St Pattys again in Orangevale :P


You play pro now, Jon?

EIEIO has had an historically low, percentage of field wise, pro turnout. Considering that fact and the available schedule options, I chose the same weekend as the norCal St. Pats pro weekend. NorCal has such a killer tournament scene going on that you can't really not conflict with any of their events, so I thought this would be the least impact way to go.

So unless you play pro, there isn't a conflict.

Plus the whole "Emerald isle/St. Pattys Day" thing goes together really well.


EDIT: ElDo is scheduled up against the St. Pat's Am Weekend, but ElDo isn't on the PDGA schedule right now.


Maybe he meant he couldn't afford to do both?

Rhett, nopeI 8 years of playing tourneys and Im still an am!!! :mad:

My girl is from Petaluma and she got some business up there and I had sooo much fun las year Im deciding to go that weekend!!!! Besides imma need more than a week to recover from the Memorial :D

The new Discatchers and Titans are the best on the market IMO. They won't spit and the Titan has three sets of chains with the two inner being 75% heavier than regular so you CAN'T bounce off the pole. If you are a hard putter these are the only baskets that you can have confidence in. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

About 85. It depends on the divisional makeup. I will not be mixing long pad players with short pad players. It is possible that I'll take 90, but it depends on how the entries come in.

Right now I'm only claiming 85.

Just got out of the hospital today. Went in with Pancreatitis.

Doctor thought I had Pancreatoncus. A tumor.

Also checked for symtoms of Pancreatemphraxis. That is a new one for me. :eek:

Going to take me a couple of weeks to recover. Nice to not have cancer though. I was only in the hospital for 5 days this time.

Registration is at 87 and we are now officially full.

Tomorrow's mail will start the waitlist.

Mail in an entry form without any payment to get on the waitlist. I will finalize the field at 6:00 PM on Friday the 17th. No one will be added on Saturday.

Thanks to everybody that pre-registered. I will be ordering trophies tomorrow. Your early diligence will help this event run smoothly. :)

I think you deserve most of that credit; you're all in; and Happy Birth Anniversary! :)

Rhett...Did you get my check? The site still has no link for me.

Seen your name on the Pro list yesterday. :D

Seen that !!!!! Check with Rhett !!!!!http://www.volnation.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/focus.gif

That's what I did.

The only change was to add your PDGA number, so I didn't bother to update the PDGA site.

If anybody wants on the waitlist, mail in an entry form WITHOUT payment. At 6:00 PM Friday 17th the field will be set in stone. No Saturday fill-ins.

Some folks wanted to know how many on the wait list ?

Over ten, I think. I have all the envelopes stacked up in the order that they arrrived in the mail. I'll try and update the website with the waitlist info tonight.

To get on the waitlist, just mail in an entry without payment. If you don't hear from me by 6:00 PM on Friday the 17th, you didn't make it in.

it rained pretty hard all night long last night, so I think all the lakes at Emerald Isle are probably full to overflowing. :) It doesn't take that much to fill them up, and we got a lot.

Good, then all my competition will lose their discs in the water and be stuck without a prayer!

I posted the wait-list and preliminary hole assignments on the EIEIO website. The waitlist is around 16 people long.

http://www.eieio.rhett.net/

As for the tee-times, they will change. I was just trying to lay out the divisional placements. Open Pro Men start on hole 1, my wife starts on hole 18 so she get back to tourney central and help me. All others get thrown around willy-nilly. Well, the FPMs and FPGs start on the farthest hole because every one of them got a cart. :)

After I print out the leaderboard cards next week I will throw them down the stairs to shuffel the order and then assign the holes for real. The divisions shouldn't change what holes they are on unless I get a lot of drops that are replaced by different divisions.

Be sure to check again next week and then FER SURE take another look when you check-in on Saturday morning.

Rhett...How many spots will pay in MPO?

Rhett...How many spots will pay in MPO?


I'll be using the PDGA pay tables built into the TD Report spreadsheet. I think there are new options for different percent payouts. I'll be using the smallest percentage paid for MPO, which I think is around 40% this year.

Nice...So 3.6 of us will get paid?

Is that for all divisions ?

I'll be using the PDGA Electronic TD Report payout calculator for all divisions, like I've always done since they included it in the spreadsheet.

Will there be a final 9????????????????????

Didn't I put that on the entry form?

...checking...

YES I DID!!!

Final-7 for MPO and MA1 after round 2. :)

I do a Final-7 because the course flows well for it. You play 1-2-3-15-16-17-18.

Final 7 for top 3...or 4? And as far as payout goes, is it 3 or 4 people who will be able to cash in Open?

Final 7 for top 3...or 4? And as far as payout goes, is it 3 or 4 people who will be able to cash in Open?


I'll have to think about that. If the payout goes 4 deep, I'll take all 4 cashers to the final. If it's only 3 deep, I have to think about it. Seems like all final players should cash...

For MA1 I'll take top 4. Hopefully it's really close between 3rd and 4th so that the final will be a battle of who gets a trophy and who doesn't.

No Finals for Pro Masters ? I'm sure Steve Wisecup will have it wrapped up before then !!!!! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Nope.

I'm just thinking about the guy in 4th who may be a few strokes back, and could make an exciting charge at the cash during the final 7...If I'm in 4th, you better believe I'm gonna push hard in the finals. See my final score from last year...

I'll decide before the tourney starts. :) I need to figure out how deep we're paying.

How many MPOs are registered?

Only the cashing spots should make the final 9. That way if you don't cash you can leave early and if you do make the finals you are sure of some $$$$$$. :D

Well Scooter ...............30% of 9 spots , pays 3.
Unless some want to cry to the TD.

30% is how it has always been. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

So yea..............Finals for the top 3. Sounds fair , doesn't it ?

The pdga like the 40% thing but 1/3 is better IMO

Are you scared to lose money in the finals?...Hold 'em might have come Texas, but it sounds like you're a Texan that might not have much to hold :o

Donny, actually 30% of 9 is 2.7...Which is why I asked in the first place. And if you want to go by a "that's the way it's always been mentality" the world will pass you by. I'll give you this though...You're a dumb #$*&amp;$!, simple as that.

No I have always been a fan of cashing spots only in the finals and it gives the people who fought it out to get in the cash one last chance to get a little more money. BTW if I didn't want to chance losing $$ I wouldn't be playing tournaments. :D

Hey Rhett, I heard that there will be NO 2 meter rule for the EIEIO...Is this true? If so, I hope you will be open to the lake/stake concept that I've been hounding you on :cool:

No 2 meter rule is correct. If the PDGA wants to ruin disc golf, who am I to stop them. :D

Stakes will define the OB line, not the water's edge. I hate the water's edge unless it's someplace like the Fountain where the line is well defined. Nooks and crannies and little puddles next to the edge complicate the call.

If the rain this weekend raises the lake level on hole three past the stake line like last year, then like last year the one edge of that one lake will again be water's edge. But if the water doesn't pass the stakes, it will be stake line like all the other lakes.

The bush beside basket 5 will be OB.

The trees on the right and the bush on the left by the lake on 17 will also be OB. If you hit the treeline you have to punch through to be fair.

They will be painted on the 17th.

I think the stakes should define OB, I don't like water's edge either.

A couple of suggestions then. Make sure lines are PAINTED between stakes, since the line of OB is now out. Also, paint a line around the bush on five, since its a bush, the line is not well-defined. BTW I will paint all lines if you let me help. Also, I will have my boys seed the clouds with silver iodide, so the lakes will all be full for the tourney.

Yes, good call Dave. If this is possible it would be very advantageous. I think the rain we will be getting this weekend should be enough to fil the lakes. Want all those hacks in the adv. division to lose their favourite drivers till after the tourney :).

The plan is to paint those bushes on 5 and 17 and to only connect the stakes where it is difficult to do a line of sight check.

I've already been hearing complaints about those plastic fence thingies on hole 3. Enough people are whining already that I'm all for leaving them in! :) The way I figure it, it the fence keeps you from going OB if you nail the basket and bounce on your drive, then it worth the expense of people who don't quite clear the fence hitting it and rolling OB.

I was there working on Saturday in awesome conditions, hopefully they'll be same for the tourney.

Looks like some rain on Saturday. We'll see how much.

Initial hole assignments are up at:

http://eieio.rhett.net/entries_by_hole.html

Of course they are subject to change, so please be sure to check on Saturday morning. I'm not super happy with the way it tunred out, but I have a bunch of 2-person divisions and almost all 5-somes, so there is a bit of ugliness to it.

The registration list by last name, seen here

http://eieio.rhett.net/Web_EIEIO2006.html

also shows the waitlist. Long pad waitlisters will replace long pad players, and short pad watlisters will replace shirt pad drops. I won't be mixing any long and short pads on any cards.

I'm tired of guys like you trying to look like they have shoulders, so when the shoulder pad in your shirt drops out when you throw, you will be assessed a one throw penalty and be required to throw your next shot from the Drop Zone. :)

I really did throw the cards down the stairs to shuffle. My wife thought I was mad about something and Ryan thought I was an idiot. "You could just shuffle them, man."

Looks like a wait-lister will be added, as I have to drop out. I spent last week at Scripps Green Hospital with a perforated intestine (and it wasn't very good company). :(

Rizbee Jr. will still play, and I have offered to help as a volunteer, so I'll still get to see the action.

I am truly bummed.

It will be interesting to listen to some of the scorekeeping conversations on Saturday, as there are several cards that have multiple players with the same first name on them:

Hole 12: 3 Davids
Hole 4: 2 Johns
Hole 8: 2 Ryans
Hole 10: Richard and Rich
Hole 15: 2 Mikes
Hole 16: 2 more Mikes

MA2 could almost have an all-David card, and MA3 an all-Mike card!

I have too much time on my hands...
:p :p :p :p :p

Believe me when I say it was very difficult not to take David Lewis and move him to the triple-David card just because it would be funny. :)

Rizbee, can you get there early and help me with check-in? I probably need three to four check-in helpers, and I'd like for my wife to be able to warm up before her round.

I just want to thank a few people for making EI what it is...

Mike Gandy for keepin the lights on
Skip Winship for being in our corner
Reese for bringing baskets to the course
Carol, Jeff, and Donny for always welcoming us disc golfers
Dave Lewis, Scot Golia, Dusty Bowlo, and Mike Lust for the re-installation of the course pads and baskets
Rhett and Laurie for hosting and TD'ing the event

Thanks...

also include dave vincent in that list...

yes, thanks to all you guys bustin' knuckles out on the course so that I can play with the spreadsheets and think big thoughts.

Rhett, can you remind me what time check-in, player meeting, and first round are Saturday?

(the PDF entry form on your site claims to be damaged, or I'd just download it and check for myself).

TIA!

Let me know what time you need me there - I'll set an early alarm.

Rhett,

Are the Open and Master's Ladies throwing from the long tee pad on 3? Just wondering so I can just take my strokes and head to the drop, too far for me. I think that is the only tee pad that is WAY HARD!

Thanks,
Kathy :confused:

Just lay up to the drop zone from the tee, throw from there, and get your par...#$*&$! taking strokes.

Timmy Gill asked me to locate someone with a digital camera for the EIEIO coverage on DiscTV.com...Does anyone have a digital video camera that they would use for filming the event?

Well Yes I can do that, but I guess I can swallow my pride when I throw my aviar 100 feet in front of me and hope I throw my disc across for the 3. Probably just a 4. Thanks for making me feel like a jerk!

There are a number of holes on this course where most players should consider laying up in front of OB (lakes, greens, and bunkers) with a mid range (or putter) rather than risking OB with their driver.

It sounds like the smart decision on #3 if you can't clear the lake (and #4 if you can't clear green, and #5, and #6, and #8m and #10... I think I see a pattern developing here).

Last year during warm ups, I saw a guy throw seven or eight shots in a row into that lake... I wonder what he decided to do during the tournament round?

Play smart Kat, I bet you knock two or three strokes off your average score on this course.

Well, thanks for the heads up. That pretty much is the only hole that is my #1 enemy as far as whether to lay up or go for it. Of cousre the 2 girls I'm competing against will throw across and make it. :mad: That means I'm jealous! Actually I've only tried throwing across it once and laded about 5 feet from the other side in the water. Someday, I'll grow up and be a big girl. . . Either way, I'm happy to play the course!

hmmm.... with a light wraith, you may have 5 more feet on your drive compared to last year.

Lay up to the drop zone. Best case scenario is you make three... worst case scenario is four. (if you try to clear lake, best case scenario is three but worst case is five or higher).

See ya Saturday.

It's covered, camera crew will be there.

Are the Open and Master's Ladies throwing from the long tee pad on 3?


All the pros are playing from all longs.

I was thinking of the Int men and the Pro ladies when I came up with the "concede the water" rule. I think it is a good option to consider, especially on #3.

If you are within 5 feet of clearing the lake on three, personally I would carry a DX disc that I liked and try to clear it. Maybe you make it maybe you go to the drop zone. (Don't throw a Star CE Valk!) It's pretty easy to lay up from the drop zone and get your 4.

If you can't come close to clearing the water, then maybe lay up or maybe concede the water. You have options. :) It stinks to lay up and then put one in the lake when you could've just gone to the DZ.

Are the cart paths and across OB?

Well Yes I can do that, but I guess I can swallow my pride when I throw my aviar 100 feet in front of me and hope I throw my disc across for the 3. Probably just a 4. Thanks for making me feel like a jerk!



I'm not trying to make you feel like a jerk, actually it was meant in the opposite. I was showing you a way to get a 3 on that hole, or a 4 at worst. If you do it that way, the girls who are trying to clear the lake will probably make a mistake one of the rounds. Remember it's gonna be raining.

Is anyone rollin' out there today?

I'm not butt hurt or anything. I'm sure I can clear the lake but with rain and I've had a low back injury for some time which makes me not throw so hard (just another excuse). I'll see what cheapo discs I can pull out of my bag for that hole. Thanks for all the advice! The worst part about it the other 2 open girls and 1 masters woman will clear it, but not me and possible another masters woman. :p

Kathy-

It is 330 to clear the lake from the long tee. I don't think I will be going for it as to get 330 I need ideal conditions. It is possible to go around the right side of the lake and still putt for a three. That may not be as safe as taking a drop on the other side of the lake, but at least you still have a chance at a three.

In the second round, the basket will be to the left, so I will probably take the drop in that position.

Cart paths are not OB. There will be a sheet detailing each hole's OB with each card. At the player's meeting I will recommend that whoever has the cards read the blurb for each hole before anyone tees off.

On three with the basket to the left you can throw around to the left and then cross the bridge. While these are opportunities to get a three on three, there is still a fantastic chance you will go OB on the second shot and then you are gong to get a five at best. I strongly recommend that anyone who does think they have a reasonable chance to clear the lake on hole 3 just go to the drop zone laying two, get up and down in two and take your 4.

If you think you might get across but might not, use a newer DX disc that you trust and go for it. Using an old trasher disc will probably put in the lake faster than aiming for the middle. :)

The key to this course is managing your OBs. Everybody will get some, so play smart and try to minimize the damamge. You know, play golf. :D

Are we gonna play stroke plus distance on every OB? (ie: if you land in any lake, bunker, green, or cross a stake line you re-throw from previous lie and incur a penalty stroke. Seems this would add a *lot* of time to the rounds on this particular course since so many of the OB lies can be blind from previous spot).

If this has been covered already, just point me to where I've missed it... if you want to cover it with everybody tomorrow then just tell me to shut up and I'll wait.

Hello Suzette,

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to rummage through some plastic tonight to see I can get something. I wish my lower back wasn't hurt or I could throw harder and have a better change of making it across the lake. I know MIchelle and I are laying up on that hole because conditions have to be perfect to get something across that is legal. I can't wait to watch you crush that hole and throw across the lake!

Darn skippy we're laying up to the DZ. Last year I made 3 attempts and did make it across the lake but still OB on the very edge of the darn thang. So Plan B: Throw putter to DZ; park it w/my cobra; don't bang head on basket while picking it up. :D:D:D:D

Her tie-dye was offensive and didn't fit the scheme of the course.



LMAO! Now THAT was funny!!! :D:D:D:D
Poor Sandy....

Nice Michelle! I'll be rooting for you on your shots since I'll be doing the same thing on #3! I didn't want you to get offended if I said you would lay up. We know our limits! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

On three, the DZ is on the other side. Laying up to there with your putter would be an awesome shot!

Are we gonna play stroke plus distance on every OB? (ie: if you land in any lake, bunker, green, or cross a stake line you re-throw from previous lie and incur a penalty stroke. Seems this would add a *lot* of time to the rounds on this particular course since so many of the OB lies can be blind from previous spot).


Uh.........NO!

Why would you even ask that question? :confused:

c'mon it is 7:43 pm and dark in socal...

SCORES??????













:D

Emerald Isle is pretty much all cleaned up. The ribs at Chilis were fantastic tonight. I've been home for 20 minutes and the scores have been up for 10. :D

The kid from LaMa takes them all down. Richard Thompson even survives the pressure of a final-7 ace from Micah on hole #3 and holds on to win! Then he declines the cash.

What a great event! I wish I could have played, but I enjoyed myself nonetheless helping out. Rizbee-ette had fun playing in the traps and helping at the reg. table, too.

Micah's ace of #3 (left) during the final 7 was impressive, as was Richard's composure during the final 7 - a great win!

My new EI Sunday Doubles friends represented well!! Good job all! I was away from the game for 15 years, and today I got a good taste of what I had been missing - lots of fun, good-natured people, camaraderie, beautiful sights...I could go on and on. Thanks again to Rhett, Skip, the Strohs, EI staff, and all others who give of themselves for our fun.

I can't wait to throw again...

What a well run event! Thank you to the kitchen staff for making the breakfast and lunch, the volunteers that spotted, Rhett and Laurie, Skip, Jeff, Carol, Dawn, Ron and Ron, and Mike. Congrats to my boys for a strong finish: Thompson, Brathwaite, Lewis, Golia, Pope, Benefield, Gomez and GWILLIM! Last year's event was the best...This year was the bestest!

Thank you also to Pizza God aka Bryan James for donating a box full o' discs, tee-shirts, and minis.

Play the Carrolton Open. And when you're in the Dallas area, eat at Mr. Jim's Pizza. :D

Hey Rhett,

Unfortunatly I did lose 2 discs in the same darn lake on #9 ( I think that is it?) My lamo self threw 2 discs in that lake and would like to know if you know when the diver will be diving next? Yes LAMO, easy hole, with my crappy shots!

Thanks Rhett!

KD

Here's alink to some nice pics:

:D Yea , a few of those holes , you really have to have Cahones to go for it. Or are you talking about Canoes !!!!! :D

Anyway , the diver will go out and retrieve you discs soon.
As long as you have your name or phone # on the disc or special kind of marking. :D
