Is this event happening? It's not on the PDGA schedule and with less than a month to go, there's no flyer on the SoCal website.

The TD, Wally Moore, is in the process of getting PDGA sanctioning and preparing the flyer. It should be up on the So Cal site in a few days.

Wally's TDing? It's always nice to see new faces spring up to share the pain^h^h^h^h wealth. :)

any san diego players going to evergreen open?

I might be coerced into making the trip, maybe. Haven't thought about it too much yet.

Three-fourths of Stroh Family Disc Golf will be there.

Anybody know anything about the sanctioning? I don't see it on the pdga schedule?

I heard it was sancationed, but you're right, it is not on the PDGA schedule. I know he was trying to get sanctioned last minute. I

according to td wally moore as of 5 minutes ago, sanctioning is in process and will happen. also plenty of room left for entries.

Hey Kevin , Nice Win at Morley Field today !!!!!!

Your First Pro Monthly Win in San Diego !!!!!

Congratulations !!!!!!!! :D



Didn't I already see this post on another thread?

I'm having a strange sensation of deja vu!


Yeah, me too with the deja vu.

How do you know?

Michael McNamara (the So Cal Webmaster) is working with Wally to get the registered players entered at PDGA.com.

Michael will also be helping out with So Cal duties at the event this weekend.

It is great that Wally is stepping up to volunteer this year.

I'm in.

I don't, I'm signing up though.

I called yesterday to make sure I was in since my check wasn't cashed yet. :) I have no idea how full this event is. I just need revenge on that course from last year.

The course seems very short, is it tricky like Morley?

Yes. There are a couple long holes on the front, then some tight woods, then some nasty marsh.

Cool. Sounds fun.

Who's got a hotel room with room for 4?

Ours only has room for three, and it's full. :)

Try the Super-8 if you don't want to drop $175+. Hotels in that area are expensive.

Anybody know if lunch is being provided on Sunday?

Thanks Rhett! I'll let Gomez, Scot, and Lewis know they need to find their own room :D

Registration is online via the "PDGA Tour" link above. Thanks to whoever got that done. :)

Suzette, there are currently 4 players registered for Rec that have ratings too high for Rec. You might want to help Wally sort that out.

Stay in Carpinteria. It's much cheaper.

Thanks.

That's where we're staying. Less than 20 miles from the course but saving boo-coo bucks! There's a motel 6 (or 8?) off of Santa Clause exit that's not too skanky (for a 6 or 8!).

We ended up getting a room 8 miles away from the course. Now Scot, Lewis, and Gomez just need to get their entries in.

I have asked the TD if Mike Bass were pre-registered prior to April 18. If he was he can remain in Recreational. Mike Babin is probably a mistake. He usually plays Advanced Masters. Ben usually plays Masters or Grandmasters, so that could be a mistake too.


Later in the year, So Cal will again petition the PDGA to allow players who moved up in ratings after July and September to play the remaining series events and So Cal Championships in the divisions where they started. (This is provided they played at least five events by that time, or haven't moved up on their own.)

The petition for baggers is a lame idea. If you get better throughout the year, you should move up and play where you belong. Staying in a baby division to bag and win is pretty disheartening for the players who really belong there.

I believe the people that would request this are doing so because they are in the race to win the SoCal points series, not to play down and bag. I would guess most of these people only play SoCal so SoCal is more important to them than PDGA.
Now this person at the evergreen should not get to play Rec if his rating has gone up, it has been longer than two weeks since the ratings went in, and I read the rule as 2 weeks prior to the event, not registration.

]...it has been longer than two weeks since the ratings went in, and I read the rule as 2 weeks prior to the event, not registration.


Two weeks prior to the event is April 15th, and the ratings came out on the 17th. So if these guys were pre-regged by the 15th they would be okay.

I'm also going to assume that they aren't even aware that their ratings went over the Rec limit. What's the point in assuming the worst, anyway? They aren't PDGA BOD members. So let's just say that they didn't know they were no longer qualified for the Rex division, and we'll drop it and let the SoCal Prez and the tourney TD handle it now that they know. :)

As for the ratings lock, SoCal has been doing that since the ratings and rating-limit am divisions came out. I believe it is fair when the lock is after the halfway point in the season. SoCal Points, Series Champion, and a shot at the SoCal Team for the NorCal/SoCal Challenge are all worth playing for. And if you played over half the season in one division, doesn't that make you a "real" member of that division?

It seems that SoCal should change its policy on points. If a player starts the year in Int. and their rating increases beyond the threshold they should be forced to play up (or where they "really" belong) and be allowed to carry-over the points from Adv. to Int. for the series. They should never be allowed to bag. Think about it from the true Int. player's perspective...If you need help visualizing, let me play Intermediate.

Where'd you get a room? I need to make the call to a hotel before I leave Friday. And let me know if you hear if somebody wants to split a room.

Hope Ranch Inn (805) 967-2901...8 mi. from the course.

Any word on lunch?

Lunch? You've obviously been spoiled by Selinske era SoCal events. :D

Hey now, Pierson, Loken, McNally, Simons, Stroh, and others are known to provide lunch at tourneys, too. :D

I'm not trying to start trouble, I just want to know. If I don't know then I will pack a lunch and eat that between rounds.

<h1><center>Good Luck to all the 619ers heading up!
Show those LA ppl who's boss!</center></h1>

I heard that Wally may start us pros earlier than 3 pm on Sunday since there's only 18 of us. Can anyone confirm - anyone else spoken to or written to Wally? That would certainly ROCK so we could leave and get home by sundown!

Where is everybody??? The Santa Barbara crowd usually does a great job of raising money for payout. I know the am side is hurting because they are scheduled against the Am Masters Cup tourney, but what about the pros?

I don't know how he can start you earlier than after the am second round. Unless the total for the tourney stays under 90 and he groups you into our second round.

Count is something like 72. Kid Kat and I might get to play with LC after all :D:D

Is it cool to be in the park at night?...Not like Morley night time, I mean to walk the layout to get a feel for the course.

You won't have to ask for a reach around, if that's what you mean. :eek:

Woo tah! It's always awkward asking for the first time :D

:D

I shot 18 strokes better from round 2 to round 3 on a course that was set about 5 to 6 strokes easier.

Yeah, I'm a head-case out on the course anymore. :)

Any final results yet ?

All I found.

I'm the BIGGEST HEAD CASE out there! 68 for all three rounds no matter what the darn set up is. SUP w/that??!! :confused: :confused: :confused:

If anybody found a blue 150g Star Valk with an "L" on the top and "Laurie" plus a 760 phone number inside the rim, we would appreciate getting it back. It went over the side and into the creek on number 9.

TIA

So how did this happen?

1st place guy ( in rec) was rated 915 ????

Both players were preregistered (paid entry) before April 15th when the last ratings were updated. Both players were eligible to play Rec before the ratings were updated.

Some one asked if Wrightwood is in or if Tom Bant has new info ?

It is not in yet, but some volunteers are going up the mountain this weekend to do work on theSurnise course. The course will only go in this year if a proper insurance policy can be found. Wish Tom luck.

:D Thanks !!!!
