everythings set. we are insured and sactioned. i've passed the officials test and i recieved the td's packet from the pdga. so far i have 20 pre-regs. thats means 30 discs left. if you would like to pre-reg before the tourney i am off work mon and tues. wed you will need to come by marketplace after four. that morning i will be in fayeteville around 830 or 9 todo a delivery at the express in the mall i will have about 45 minutes where i can take regristration money but you will need to meet me at the mall at the unloading dock by the food courts. look for the big van with marketplace all over it.
thursday come by marketplace in the evening friday also in the evening. if you have any questions fill free to give me a call 479 522 6340. if i dont answer it means i am at work just leave a message and i will get back to you.

if there are any leftover will they be sold or gave away as prizes or whatever

yes if i have any leftover discs they will be for sale proubly round 10 bucks. if they dont all sell i will throw them in with the ctp's, ring of fire etc. etc. 26 signed up so far with four more days to go.

I will be out at BG about 4:15 or so on Friday if anyone wants to play a round. Let me know and I'll be looking for you.
Does anyone know if holes are in short now? Haven't played the shorts in several months now. Definitely need the practice on them.

all the pins are in the shorts except for #2 and #4. hopefully if everything goes well tomorrow i will have the problem fixed. if you are going to be out on friday keep an eye out for a pro out of tennesee. i talked with him today and he said he would be in the fort sometime on friday to play the course before the tournament.

SuperDave, when is the players meeting? And remember we have people comming in from a good wayz out-of-town. But I need a specific time. Thanks.

for far as specific time 8:42 on the dot. no sooner no later. :D
as long as we have the players meeting before the first round its all good. first round tee-off is scheduled at 9. but if we know for sure there are more players still out there we can push back a little bit.

went out to the course today and worked on hole two and four.
linked up with bobby faulkner the parks maintence guy and they ended up making wafda an auger that worked like a charm to drill and pull all the mulch that was jammed down the tubes. so all the baskets are in the a positions for the tournament. :cool:

we will have two the three more trash cans in the lot for the tournament and bobby is hunting down some orange cones so we can close off the parking lot when it fills up, and it will fill up. also bobby is tracking down the tournament banner that disapeared after the hell on the borber. :o

also ran into mithcel at the course and he informed me that chuck kennedy will be in the area when am worlds is going on. he will have a full week to drive to different locations and play the courses. so chuck kennedy will hopefully be out at the ben geren and the course in alma. :D:D:) :cool:or was it nick knight? :confused:

I sent my $ for pre-reg with one of the NWA boys. Would you mind posting the pre-regs so I can make sure I'm good to go for Sat. Thanks :D

if anybody wants to put together a fri night draw doubles or anything like that before the tournament its all good here. i cant do anything i will be at work from 0800 to 2200. :(

ok folks here it is, the list of pre-regs as of thursday night at 1115.

great show and loads of fun great job dave
cant wait till the next one

neither can i, hopefully i will get to play in the next one and let someone else worry about running the thing :D

That was a great event. Everything ran without a hitch. When everybody threw for the CTP that was awsome.
Great job dave. Hopefully you learned Ganzel something. Thumbers do go left.

Dave

awesome show for your first time. It is always hard trying to get through and make everybody happy at the same time I think you did an awesome job. Can't wait to the next ones. I would also like to thanks the Joplin guys who traveled all the way down to play yesterday. You guys are awesome and we would love to have you guys show up for more WAFDA events.

Peace out yo I have to prepare for league this afternoon lol

:cool:

i hope that everybody had a blast and that the payouts were good for both the pros and the ams. for as far as my next td event hopefully it will be the 2nd annual ben geren blowout. i do have some better ideas on how to run an even more smooth event on my end. there were a lot of things that i could of done different that would of caused me a lot less stress.

my sister had a blast out there. it was her first time to be fully enveloped within the world of disc golf. :Ddon't know if she will start playin but keep an eye out for at the park.

As has been said several times.......
GREAT job Dave!
I wish I would have had a camera to get all those discs in flight during the "Line of Fire" for CTP!! If you weren't there you would have to see it to believe it!! 50 or so discs launched at one time for a single pin 100-150 feet away!!! Crazy stuff man, but loads of fun!
I can't wait for the next tourney!! Thanks to everyone that helped support my disc golf boys from the club who made it out. A few slowed us down and a few came real close to showing us up!! That is our future. Remember the day you helped them when you see their name on top of the World's leader board.

Great tournament!
Excellent job Dave!!
Many thanks to the volunteers and basket changers.
I have a more detailed post written but it's on my home computer.
The disc golfers of Fort Smith, and WAFDA, should take pride in a job well done! :)

I've heard great things about the tournament, wish I could have been there. Congrats to all the winners, now lets see those scores on the pdga site. You know I'd have them up by now, so I'm allowed to whine :D

I was wondering how long it would take for you to start busting thier chops about the scores? :o

No kidding.BUTT! They should be up soon after the tourneys end I agree.Dave,You pulled it off.And yes there are ways of making it smoother.You'll figure it out.Good job buddy.

I've heard great things about the tournament, wish I could have been there.



Here's some more about the tournament-

What a great day!
The success of the Ben Geren Blowout exemplifies the efforts of Super Dave Hudson, the Fort Smith area disc golfers, and the WAFDA members/volunteers.
The larger than expected field flowed through both rounds at a comfortable pace, and were able to play Ben Geren�s 18 holes in both the �A� and �B� pin placements. Many thanks to those involved in moving the pins between rounds.
I had the pleasure of playing the first round with Jerry Fendley, a former Fayetteville resident who now lives, and teaches, in Oark, Arkansas. Jerry�s love for the sport of disc golf, his desire to improve his game, and his selfless attitude are just a few of his numerous positive attributes. Jerry has recently come to terms with an issue that many disc golfers are reluctant to confront. Jerry, long a �closet� left handed player, has now committed to playing full time as a leftie. For a teacher in a conservative rural Bible Belt community to openly admit that he used to be a righty, but now chooses to live his disc golf life as a leftie, the consequences could be tragic. Instead, the community of Oark has openly accepted Jerry for who he is, not what he was. My eyes welled with tears as Jerry told me of his struggles. I hugged him as a fellow leftie- trying my best to hide my genetic superiority.
Anyway� back to the tournament.
I also got to play the first round with Richard Mitchell. I guess he�s from Tulsa. I�d never heard of him before but he seemed like a pleasant enough fellow. Kind of quirky, but cute- in a teddy bear kinda� way. I think he�s a �closet� leftie as he threw a lot of right-handed two-finger shots. Jerry and I prayed for Richard during lunch.
Due to one-hole blowups by the two other players on my card for the second round I was able to garner my first PDGA victory as a Pro Master. The last PDGA event I won was as an Advanced Master at 2003 Am Worlds. I will forever be indebted to Tommy Eddy and Shawn LaMastus for the generosity they displayed this weekend. :o:D

:D Now that was funny!

Your a NUTT!!! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif But congrats anyway.By the way.I coulda shot 108 with my eyes closed.Better step up(As I will have too for sure)If you ever wanna place in a real master field.ESPECIALLY if you want any HOTB $$$ That Master field will be a MONSTER. :cool:Good luck there fellow leftie.

But congrats anyway.By the way.I coulda shot 108 with my eyes closed.



Well you shoulda opened them up and SHOWN UP TO PLAY!!! :p

Scores Please :D

Since you're so impatient Boobs, I'll give you my scores.
1st round (A pins): 53 (-1)
2nd round (B pins): 54 (E)
I could've shot alot better, but I didn't take any chances. I played safe, fairway, par golf and if I missed a putt, i had no more than a 6-10ft comeback putt...and it was good enough to win.
I compared my rounds with the pro's rounds at HOTB last year and those 2 rounds would be rated at (i think) 909 & 950. However, accounting for the wind on saturday, those may go up. I said as soon as I win Am in a sanctioned event I would move up, so I am. My goals for this year are:
Top 3 in Adv. at a C tier
Top 5 in Adv. at a B tier
Top 10 in Adv. at an A tier
and Top 20% at Am Worlds (if i get in off the waitlist)

Congrats on your win Colin. :cool:

Good shooting, those are all attainable goals, just dont' freak out so much about how you throw an you will be fine. ;)

I also got to play the first round with Richard Mitchell. I guess he�s from Tulsa. I�d never heard of him before but he seemed like a pleasant enough fellow. Kind of quirky, but cute- in a teddy bear kinda� way. I think he�s a �closet� leftie as he threw a lot of right-handed two-finger shots. Jerry and I prayed for Richard during lunch.




LOL!! I've never heard anybody call Mitchell a teddy bear :D

Scores Please :D



for everybody that is asking. the scores will be taken care of on saturday. i will be getting together with shawn lamastus and we will be going over everything. remember everybody this was my first tournament to td. i dont want to make any mistakes even in turning in the scores. now i could do a rush rush job during my hour brake from work but there is always the chance that i would turn in something wrong and a few ratings and points will be messed up then i would be getting grief from everybody. so everybody PLEASE BE PATIENT.i work 12 to 14 hours a day i am off work on saturday and i will have help. the scores will get done. until then play golf dream about aces and plan the next tournament.

so everybody PLEASE BE PATIENT.i work 12 to 14 hours a day i am off work on saturday



Well that leaves 10 to 12 hours available to do scores, each day and Saturday will have been a week, so you have wasted about 70 -84 hours that you could have had the scores done, sorted, cross referrenced, and up loaded.
:o


How's that Boob's? Feel better now? :D

common guys give him a break its his first td
and remember in that 10 to 12 hours a day off work
he has to eat and sleep, so i dont think a week is too long

TD's dont get breaks, thats just the way it is. :D

Its all their fault, it always is, it always will be. :o


I lay in wait for the day Boobs becomes a TD.
I will be there. :DJust to ask questions though. :o

lmao, I was a TD at the NW Doubles Challenge, remember, you didn't show up, you didn't ask question, maybe next time :D

This is true but there has been offers to help to make it easier for him from experienced TD's. So we can get just the unoffical scores posted on the website.

tommy eddy was competing as pro grand master only one on the card.

unoffical

all right guys i had a few incorrect scorecards turned in.
one of the questions that i had was is it just the player on the card that get the penalty strokes or the whole card?

this will change up the unoffical scores. the mistakes were on two am cards and one novice card.

superDave, rule 804.03 states:


G. After the scorecard is turned in, the total score as recorded shall stand with no appeal, except for the following circumstances:
<font color="blue">(1) Penalty throws may be assessed at whatever time the infraction is discovered until the director declares the tournament officially over or all awards have been distributed.</font>
(2) If it is determined that the total score was incorrectly recorded, either by an error on a hole score or by an error in totaling the hole scores, including omission of the total score, the director shall add two penalty throws to the correct total score. These penalty throws are not added when the TD (or an official designated by the TD, such as a course director) corrects a player�s score for other infractions determined after this player had turned in an otherwise correct scorecard.
(3) Late Scorecard. See 804.03 F.



So, by rule, you can't assess penalty strokes anymore. But it would've been 2 strokes to the person who's score was incorrect. You can change the scores to the correct scores, but you can't assess the penalty strokes.

gotcha

Super Dave this is Burelflyer,I shot a 116 if that even matters.Idont know.Anyway great blow out i had a blast cant wait until next time.THANK BURELFLYER ANYBODY SEEN ANDY :confused:

jeff ash....................53.............55.......... ...108
james diel................53............55.............. 108



This is gonna get good!!! :o:)

Thanks for the scores Dave. Now can you get to the scores form that tournament in Florida that Boobs is concerned about? ;) :D

The way i read the rules it says penalty shots can be added by the TD. Does anyone else read it the same way?

Not that i'm wanting to argue or stir things up, but just out of curosity, the TD can still add the 2 penalty throws as per section 2 of that rule....correct? Section 1 of that rule doesn't apply to Section 2 right?

lmao, I was a TD at the NW Doubles Challenge, remember, you didn't show up, you didn't ask question, maybe next time :D




You're still trying to call that cluster_ _ _ _ of an event a tournament? Now, I'm LAMO! :D

Boobs, you talking about this (http://www.pdga.com/schedule/event.php?TournID=5334) tournament? The one with 11 teams?

Isn't this the one that got an Am classified as Pro?

Is this the tournamnet you're basing your TD experience on??

Are you sure you want to claim that? :o

Randal was on fire and I had the shanks :o.
I did have a good time though :D.
Thanks Dave & staff.

Well you had Mitchell on your card also so I imagine it was hard to concentrate during his "Talk Show". ;)....Next time, bring ear plugs. :D

:D

What did Andy shoot? I thought he won the worm division.

Isn't this the one that got an Am classified as Pro? :o



yeah it did, not only me bailey had the same problem.
it all got fixed though except for the points and the invite to worlds :mad:

Well you had Mitchell on your card also so I imagine it was hard to concentrate during his "Talk Show". ;)....Next time, bring ear plugs. :D



Dose he ever shut up? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif.

Ok it is now 4:42 on Saturday afternoon and the pdga website is not updated yet. My offer still stands to help Dave.

Give the guy a break.....

I'm sorry but I have to say it SCORES Please :D

If only Andy were in charge of scores... :o

Ok it is now 4:42 on Saturday afternoon and the pdga website is not updated yet. My offer still stands to help Dave.


Maybe he'll post the scores when you finish the nwadga website ;)

Are the scores ever going to be posted???? :( This may be the only tournament I ever win and no one will ever know except the people who were there?? SuperDave, if possible, PLEEEEEEASE get the scores to the PDGA before March 30th. :confused: :confused:

scores were turned into the pdga yesterday.

Why aren't there round ratings for them??
