You too Lee.
Highlighting the post does not draw any attention. :p



BUMP!

Anyone want to predict what your average rating will be after the 4 rounds at CH this weekend?

for just those 4 rounds or our ratings all together?

I predict my average rating for this weekend to be around 980.

Well for this weekend it is! I hope to shoot 1000 rated golf. Having played the courses for the first time today, :eek:, and shooting reasonable rounds, is 6 down on the coyote good? I think this is definatly possible. But as far as predictions go. I think I will shoot 981 golf! :D

6 down on the coyote is smoking hot !

Why set your goals so low?

I feel confident I can shoot 6 down on both courses consistantly. My goal is to win my second tourney and beat the crap out of you! Now I know those arent loftly goals, but I will do my best! :D

6 down on both would be around a 1040 average not 981. :p

Think Brice shot an even on the back course and it was 990.

Good luck.
There is a firt time for everything.
Took Brice about a year longer to finally beat me in a sanctioned event. But I wish you all the best luck. :D

i plan on shooting 1020, then 890, then 960, and finally 970. sounds like how my rounds usually are. :(

check it out , it is a start !

check it out , it is a start !


what the hell you talking about????
some times i think you make no sence.
well sometimes i'm just a tard though

so lee what do you plan on shooting this weekend??
wait i forgot you have to work :D
srry bro couldn't help it.
at least you will making some scrilla.. :D

I am a member of this club and am not on the members list.

That list is temporary and was automatically generated from an email Lee sent out a while back. I'll add you in, and anybody else that wants to, until we have a process in place to share the members list.

Nice!
I like how you catagorized the list. :)

Hey Andres, how's the view from down there ?


at least i haven't hit a brick wall with my ratings mr 991.
and lee the view is great, well you should know. you were here last week.
seriously guys congrats on the addition of points to your ratings. wait sorry chris, that's right you lost some points too /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :eek: :D ;)

I moved the leaderboard (http://www.funkytownflyers.org/leaderboard.html) to its own page to help reduce confusion about membership.

Also made a few updates to it. :D

LOL.
Based on ratings, i'll stay at/near the top. Base it on spare time/events played and i'll be at the bottom. :D

Brick Wall?

I was 997 mr 939. Z-boaz and Ardmore jacked my rating up. We will see how much trash you are talking after this weekend.

don't get mad chris... just hand over that # 1. :cool:
just tring to ruffle your feathers.
you seem to play well p.o.'d.
it's been a while since i've talked smack, so deal with it pansy boy.
j/k :p

BTW, I heard that the number 2 is at the Q house since last night.

Choose your words wisely MC..... Bigbuck is not a big fan of his dirty laundry being aired out on this MB.





That didn't bring more attention to it or anything :( BigBuck has mad forehand skillz, that's really all the matters.

U know better than that :(

Is anybody going to Okie doubles this year?

i will be going to okie dubs. everyone that can make this one should. it has always been alot of fun.

I was out there yesterday. Very muddy, grass is ok..

Any flood damage to the course? The ball fields took a beating in that 3" of rain/flooding last week... :(

Minor damage to the course, there is one major tree down on
one's fairway that will dramatically change one of the best hole's on the course. From what I understand, the baseball fields are being torn down, due to the damage sustained .

with a little mulch , and some funkytown baskets, this will become a local favorite. Especially with all the shade in the park!

coldtoe, d. hall and ike played there yesterday.
one is ruined, as a tough hole. now it's a 200 ft straight shot, booooo. but the unused land out there will make for a very fun course, once the other 9 holes are in there.
surprisingly there was a game/practice going on at one of the ball fields. although the ball fields rank of moldy water. overall was a good time.
we playied dubs and coltoe and i whiped those bc'ers by 5 or 6 strokes. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Thought that tree was in a bad place.
Should prob move the basket.

When is Okie dubs?

As far as flow of the course, I think you should start at hole 2 and transgress from that point toward the back of the park and end on hole 9 being 18 with that water at the back of the bucket! I cant wait to see where you guys put in those baskets!

Tuesday night mini tonight in Crowley.
The course has been changed and is ready to play. I will have maps for everybody. Start time 6:15

so.. when's the work day???
lets get this ball rolling.
i want to play the haltom course as a 18 holer...

I really wish it was that easy... There will be more involved than planning a work day, and puting baskets in the ground ... Patience.......

The city of Weatheford is eagerly anticipating our involvement with the course.....

As soon as we have baskets ready for them , they will be in the ground...... Big up's to the BIGBUCK for all the leg work...

Updated the leaderboard (http://www.funkytownflyers.org/leaderboard.html) to include previous rank and adjusted the "on fire" status to use that new information.

Also added non-current/non-rated members and fixed a bug with how rating change dates were calculated.

Love the "on fire" icons! Burn baby burn!!!

HOLE 2 at the HC can be corrected by moving the t pad closer to 9's basket. it a hyzer shot but will be challenging with the road and the creek and beyond OB. That course WILL be pimp. The fact that you can go out and own the course by yourself is super FAT!!

super-duper-fat
does anyone plan on making it out to the mini on friday????
if so what time and how much if you know??
thanks /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Little Seabolt, are you ready for sponsorship?

yeah

I've talked with your Dad about this. Ask him what you need to do.

you did

about wat

getting sponsorship

LOL. Sorry it was time for the drive at 5. Just go talk to him. :D

ok

I am ready for sponsorship! Can I talk to his dad also?! No offence Mr. Lefty, but I think I am slightly more qualified! :D

You are not a 900 + rated 14 year old ( impressive in my book ). Dalton has a higher rating than the bulk of the FPO contingencey. You are a pompus arse, with a friggin cannon..... Almost a dime a dozen :D :D

Almost a dime a dozen :D :D



Then what does that make you? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

i have to work on my putting

From what I have found out that makes no difference. You need to bag in Adv and win or be 1000 rated for anybody to talk to you.

Almost a dime a dozen :D :D



Then what does that make you? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif



Not as cool as you Miles....

We will not have mini on this day (7/22/07), go play Arlington. Fahrenheit Fling is back and as of tradition NO Z-Boaz mini :p.

Arlington still has minis during others tournaments. We encourage everybody to play the tournaments, but not everybody has the time to play a 2 day, so we suspend the big ace pot and just shoot at the ace money from that day. If nobody hits it, we throw a ctp for it. You should still have the mini to accomodate those that can't play the fling. Just suspend the big ace pot that day. Same with Cedar Hill.

Yeah. I never understood why we dont have minis at the Z when other tourneys are going on. I mean, who would'nt play a 2 day sanctioned event just because they would miss a mini?! Makes no sense to me.

I have to work on Saturday so I can't play the Fling but I will be out Z-boaz on Sunday if anyone wants to play singles or doubles round for money but THE ACE POT WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE.

Thanks for showing up on Saturday partner

Stupid to me that we don't have a mini because of a c-tier in A-town.

I'm down for doubles. Doubt I will be able to beat my 48 I shot Sun with 9 birdies. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

You should save those -6 rounds for the ZB open! As for the mini, or doubles, being canceled, it's not. Just the $2000+ ace pot is canceled. We should still be able to shoot at/throw off for the small pot that accumulates for this one Sunday. Speaking of, see you Sunday afternoon. :D

Thanks for running it Tang!

anyone want to go to haltom ******* for a round?? i'll be heading that way about 5ish. i gots no phone, so see you if i see you. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Don has been curious about that course. I was wondering, since you are planning on going out there 5-ish, what is the best way to get there without getting tied up until 6-ish in the 820 traffic?

My Bad :( I lost my phone Thursday night at the mini, I will be off 7/28/07 staurday I promise . It is on the schedule for me to be off. Sorry about the confusion I really thought I was going to be off.

it is tough to get around 820 traffic, but i will try to help. i work on the west side so shooting up 820 east isn't bad till 530pm or so, but coming from the other dirrection is hopeless. if you don't mind the lights you could, (heading east on 820), exit 35 north bound and take western center till you get to denton highwayand head south,(right). when i leave it's about 515pm when i get to the traffic and it usually isn't bad enough to prompt me to exit. i tend to just stick it out and go through the 2 miles of traffic i hit.
hope this helped. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Take beach to 377, which is the first or second light north of 121. 377 then turns left straight to the course. 820 is a joke and would not recomend taking it anytime of day.

thanks, Chris, that is what I was looking for.
Thank you, too, Andre.

good luck to all of those funkyones heading to worlds... bring me back a little something ;)

I got something for ya Dre ;) http://www.cartoonstock.com/lowres/cgr0336l.jpg

I bring lessons learned (relearned) this year:
1. Do not play 4 rounds a day for 3 days before a tournament. (even if they are "just birdie courses") Do play the courses though. Be prepared, but don't over do it.
2. Do not form and follow a detailed game plan that makes the experience boring and non-fun. This is just ridiculous. But the engineer inside me couldn't resist for some reason. Nevertheless, a game plan is not a terrible idea, especially for new courses that you haven't played before. Just don't be overly detailed and don't force yourself to follow it. Every throw should be thrown with a new look and complete confidence. Only consult the game plan as a last resort if complete confidence is lacking. (I'm sure many of you have heard the saying: Plans are nothing; planning is everything.)

I didn't lose to anybody at worlds this year except to myself. And boy, does it hurt.

The courses were great, and I hope to post some pictures/videos later on the funky website.

I want to thank my dad for being there for me as a caddie and for support. Not having to carry the bag probably saved me many strokes after the excessive practice rounds.

Well, there are the lessons. Pretty basic ones that I thought I had already learned. Please don't repeat these mistakes funkytowners! It's just disc golf. And it's fun. There's no need to turn it into anything else. Especially at the championship level.

Awesome man.... I bet it was a cool experience. Im going next year...

where is next year's AM World

Kalamazoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, MI.

thanks :Dhow far in advance do they plan world usually?

Notice the next 2 worlds are combined!!! That is soooooooooo pimp!

Tuesday night mini TONIGHT
Start time 6:15
Open $12.00
Ams $8.00
Ace Pot will start at $70.00
CTP tonight is hole 11

what are they combined with? :confused:

Combined means that both Pro and Am worlds are held at the same time and location.

Landis, how do you feel about Kalamazoo, MI next year? When a pro and am worlds is combined it's twice the fun. In that kind of atmosphere I can see BIG BUCK getting laid at least twice a day.

I really could see myself going next year! I am working on a plan to get laid at least that often, sounds like a winner. I would like to take Little Dave if I can get him to the A tier at Tyler. As long as I stop getting hurt i WILL be there. Let's make a go of it!

I am going to try and make Tyler this year as well.

they did mow out there

Funkytowners. Just a little personal opinion. I recently went to Play It Again Sports to buy a disc golf present for little Dave (quad shocks). They did not have any (no big deal) so i paid up front because i was told that they would be there in a couple of days and that i would get a call when they came in. I called once a week for 3 weeks and finally they had some in with no call. I felt like at least a "sorry man" should have been laid down ... FAT CHANCE! I also asked in the beginning if the owner would like to sponser a basket and was told that he would contact me .... again like the quad shocks FAT CHANCE! That experience has left me with a BAD taste in my mouth and a feeling that Play It Again Sposts is full of tools! Ask me if I will purchase anything in there again or turn anyone onto that place .... FAT CHANCE! Ask me if that guy has any desire to see disc golf grow in Ft Worth .... FAT CHANCE! Ask me if that guy should be included in the future growth in Ft Worth Disc Golf .... FAT CHANCE!!!!!!! Just my opinion!

FYI: THE EXTRA 9 HOLES HAVE BEEN LAID OUT . THE HOLES FOR THE SLEEVES HAVE BEEN DUG. THE SLEEVES ARE ON ORDER, SHOULD NOT BE TOO MUCH LONGER BEFORE WE HAVE 18 IN THE GROUND IN HALTOM CITY.....

Sorry Chuck! I can't fix that one.

There is a new rating system in the works though (just for funky members). It might show better results!

Looks like me and John have a few to spare. :D
Time for Miles and Brice to get those ratings up there in the 90s.

Seabolt is having a disc golf pool party on Sunday. There will be lots of beer and lots of water volleyball.

GOOD TIMES

This just in .

The city of Ft Worth Parks and Recreation department has
purchased 9 baskets to be installed in the community center due east of 820 on hemphill rd here in FUNKYTOWN.

This will be a Funkytown Flyers design and installation.

The primary focus will be designing a course for the children, but there will be advanced player level TEE PADS ( yes tee pads ) for all of us to enjoy.......

Sleves for Haltom City should be in next week.......

Be prepared for @ least 18 more holes in Funkytown coming to you soon!!!!!!!

BTW- the course on Hemphill will be very easy to navigate with minimal amounts of " irritant foliage " . The terrain has rolling elevation, whick will make for some fun downhill and uphill drives ....... This will be a fun park to play.

More to come !

All right! I've added the Funkytown Rating to the leaderboard (http://www.funkytownflyers.org/leaderboard.html). This new player rating uses the same round ratings the PDGA uses for their player rating. However, the end result is not quite the same because a different (better IMO :D) formula is used.

Also, the columns are now sortable by clicking the header of choice with the left mouse button.

Still working on the previous rank bug.

I reallyy like what you have done with the leaderboard mike. Do me a favor and clarify the difference between your
ratings formula and the currenty system in use by the PDGA.
Please .

Do me a favor and clarify the difference between your
ratings formula and the currenty system in use by the PDGA.




The primary difference is that averages are calculated on a per-tournament basis rather than over all rounds individually.

The secondary difference is that instead of double-weighting the most recent 25% of rounds, a curve fitting algorithm is used to generate a general direction of performance (based on the tournament averages) and is used to adjust the final rating forward as if another tournament has been played. This is the first public draft and I'm open to suggestions for improvement!

A more detailed description of the formula is at the bottom of the leaderboard webpage.

Miles wins the Twisted Flyer Open. Shooting a 1058 rated final 9 to come back and get the victory over Coda Hatfield and Kevin McCoy.

Great Shooting Miles. That is an impressive win.

Sho' Enough!!

good job miles

Thanks to all you guys for your support. It was a good win, thats for sure. Everything played into my hands the final nine and I capitalized. I also beat Coda in a distance comp. That almost as cool as the win! All in all it was a great weekend!

good job

how far did u throw it

Hey Miles.....Is Flesner a good caddy?

Yep! It was awesome having someone who beats me most of the time caddy for me! To bad the skins didnt go the way I wanted, but my partner was great and did everything she could. I had so much fun playing with pros I have looked up too and never imagined I would play with. They were all cool and even helpful at times. This weekend was one of the best of my life.

After I walked it off my wining throw was somewhere around 525, give or take a few feet.

Congrats there Miles...Great Win!!!

Most if not all of the sleeves are in the ground.

Time to move some baskets. Will have an update soon.

We are close!!!!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAY TO GO LEE!!!!!!! The good thing is that all you have to do is move the baskets from your garage! Time for another round of fund raising. If you would like to donate money for baskets or know of someone .... find me on a course near you! Time to do BIG things!

Be expecting a " re grand opening " soon.......

How is the Haltom course fund doing ? Will they let us know when they have the money to to pay us back for the basets so that we can put more in the ground on the RIGHT side of the metroplex? WE DOING WHAT THEY SAY COULDN'T BE DONE! Way to go FLYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 9 holes closer to becoming the MECCA that we should be.

Their course fund was almost enough to cover the locks
for the baskets. Our biggest challange to overcome will
be building an amature following at the friday night mini's. We do have one big advantage with this course...

excellent night golf course!

Traffic seems to poo poo on my haltom friday parades.

A couple of website updates:
<ul type="square"> Added prize winnings to leaderboard
Added individual player pages (click your name on the leaderboard to get to it) [/list]

Who is this guy?

I know that guy. :D

Thats cool ColdToe, but I think the ratings per tournament are a little bit off. Don't think I could be a 1000 rated player with only 3 1000 rated tournaments.

It looks very cool though. Don't know many clubs that track there members like this. FunkyTown Rocks!!!!!!!!

I will check the averages, but I expect the funky rating to be a bit lower than the PDGA rating because a tournament average will not be as "hot" as the tournament rounds themselves unless they are all the same. All it takes is one bad round (or a couple of not-so-great rounds) to really drag a tournament average away from the hot rounds.

Now, the formula does drop rounds that the PDGA drops. I wonder if the Funky Rating might benefit from a different scheme of dropping bad rounds. Or, maybe the trend calculation can be improved. I'll explore these ideas a bit tonight after double-checking the averaging code. Suggestions are welcome!

Oh, and thanks for the feedback! :D

To all the funkyones out there..... PAY ATTENTION !!!

Something FUNKY this way comes.......

The funkytown baskets are almost ready to see some action.

Be ready , there will be a club meeting up coming , possibly followed by something just a little , well..... FUNKY!!!

The sleeves are in the ground, fo sho.... Baskets soon to follow.

Expect to see something going down in the next couple of weeks. We will give as much advanced notice as possible.

Spread the word, let those w/out computers know......

SOMETHING FUNKY THIS WAY COMES.

Fixed! You are right. There was a bug in how averages were calculated for the tournament list that was caused by a side effect in the round rating distribution code. Tournament ratings should be correct now for everybody.

there are 16 baskets out there at haltom city
very good holes
we are not done yet but the other 2 baskets well be there as soon as possible
we will be there at 6 come on out we will show you the course
and we will be playing it on friday night mini too

Correction : There are 17 holes @ haltom city, it will be a few days before hole # 12 is installed

http://static.flickr.com/68/169433225_666df8ef2c_o.jpg SWEEEET :D

FYI : the one missing basket will be an elevated basket
nestled in the trees... It is a uber-cool shot .

The course is marked right now , but with this rain, prolly not .

The seabolts will be @ the course around 6 if anybody wants
a tour of the facility

they moved the practice basket back in to the practice position

Happy Birthday Jason Chamberlain.

More leaderboard (http://www.funkytownflyers.org/leaderboard.html) updates:
- Added Funkytown Rank column
- Adjusted the funky rating to be normalized for women based on median difference within a class using worldwide data. (more details on website)

Thats awesome!

Could one of you guys PM me a way to get a hold of Stacia. Need to talk to her and cant find her user name or number anywhere. Thanks

Will you guys being holding an end of the year bag tag event?

Since the OMB/YGB's don't get out to that side of town much and we have some of your bags tags, I was curious.

Tags #1 and #5 are in Dallas

Tag #98 is in Crowley

Way to represent Hall :confused: Have the number one tag from wed to fri and let some dallas boys walk home with it. We should be having a year end bag tag challenge some time before Jan.

I second this.

I assure you all that there will be a funkytown bag tag challange before years end. December is always a busy time of year, so I would plan on having the Funkytown Final sometime in November..... Schedueling for November is also a little crazy with VPO and the NTS series opener. I will be working on this , and plan on giving as much advance notice as possible.

I WILL EXPECT ALL BAG TAG HOLDERS TO BE IN ATTENDANCE. WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANYBODY PULL A BEYOTCH MOVE AND CAMP OUT ON A LOW BAG TAG. IF YOU CAN NOT MAKE IT , EXPECT A LASHING ....

I am planning on hosting this at the metro area's newest 18 hole facility HALTOM CITY . Great opportunity to introduce the members to our new course. This event will get a little
funky, so plan on a good time !!!!!

the opener is the VPO.

I say Dec. We have VPO, DD at the Lake, Teams, Thanksgiven. Don't see how you could have it in Nov.

Possibly Octobre!

how about new years day?

how about new years day?



That could work, we could call it the FUNKYTOWN HANGOVER CLASSIC !!!

now your talking sir,

I vote for this one big time! :D

I second that.
This should be a stroke play total score event. The way Brian ran it you could suck untill the last 9 holes and still walk away with the #1 tag.

Found this article about a new John Houck course being put in at the Texas Christian University (http://media.www.tcudailyskiff.com/media/storage/paper792/news/2007/09/12/News/Hall-Of.Fame.Disc.Golfer.To.Oversee.Campus.Course.Desig n-2962320.shtml) campus.

Check out the ridiculous comment left after the article. :mad:

I responded. Hopefully he'll get a dog park nearby soon. Sounds like he's been wanting one for a while!

It's great that TCU is getting a course. I wonder if 9 holes would be enough though! :D

While we are on the subject of stories. I was given the chance to be interviewed for an article in the TCC NE campus paper which was published in early september. I never got the link to it, or made it all the way out there to pick one up. All I have is the copy I was sent in an e-mail that was sent to me late. I was hoping the writer would quote me saying that the campus there would be an ideal place for a course. But he didnt. Oh well, hopfully this will generate some spark there. Just thought I would share it with you guys.



Imagine Tiger Woods breaking out a disc on the 18th tee instead of a driver. Now, try to
picture the world-famous golfer winning one of his many professional championships with a
single flick of the wrist instead of having to sink a 20-foot putt.


Now, you have just a little bit of insight into the burgeoning world of the sport known as
disc golf.
The spherical cousin of the universally known sport of golf, disc golf, is a niche sport
that seems to be gaining popularity daily.


" The first time I went out to play, it was because of a friend inviting me,"
former TCC student Miles Seaborn said.


Seaborn, who plays at Z Boaz in Fort Worth and Bear Creek in Grapevine, had played ball
golf before, so he knew the concept.


" Disc Golf is the exact same thing except you throw discs into baskets instead of
hitting balls into holes," he said. "All that I had to do was throw the disc.
Once I learned how to do that somewhat effectively, I was hooked."


Using baskets often supported by chains instead of holes in the ground as a means to score
on a hole are hardly where the similarities end.


Using discs similar to Frisbees, but aerodynamically designed for the different throws
needed in a typical game, the modern version of this up-and-coming sport began in the
1970s.


Disc golf courses are often found in public parks and are free, which would seem a nice
alternative if you can't afford all those pricey greens fees.


And it is also a sport that can be played by people of all ages.


" Try taking a 5-year-old to a ball golf course and saying, 'Here is a ball, now hit
it with this thing.' It's going to take a lot of practice to get them to do it well,"
Seaborn said.


" Take them to a Disc Golf course and show them how to throw a disc, and they get the
idea and are able to do it with just a few tries."


Not only is disc golf fun for the whole family, it is also a good form of exercise as most
courses wind up and down hills, through woods and around water. Most golf courses are
usually devoid of any nature if you keep the ball in the fairway.


In ball golf, a player has drivers, wedges, and putters. In disc golf, a player has many
different throws to execute, both back-handed and fore-handed to achieve the goal of
getting the disc into the basket in the fewest throws possible.


However, the challenge of adapting to disc golf after being a ball golf regular might
catch some people off guard.


Seaborn said the main difference is the course.


" Ball golf courses are generally open fairways with trees on the side and possibly
one or two in the middle," he said. "Some holes in Disc Golf seem like someone
said, 'Here is a tee box, there's the pin, now all you have to do is throw it through 200
trees, over the creek, stay on this side of the road, and you're there.'"


Seaborn claimed he was not exaggerating.


" Because a disc can be thrown in so many different ways, we need obstacles to keep
it interesting," he said.

That seaborn guy is good but not disney world good. :D

LOL :p :D

This reminds me, wootang. I played a Z-Boaz mini about 5-6 weeks ago. I was so disgusted with my performance that I left as soon as scores were added up, and in doing so, inadvertently left my bagtag. Do you still have it? If so, can you send it over to Veterans with someone heading this way? Thanks.

Greg

Yes, I do have an extra abandon bag tag and I will be playing the course championship and I will bring it then. Unless someone comes out to the mini this Sunday that's trustworthy. :D

Twin Oaks Open, all the funkyones out there.....

For any of you that cannot make what sounds like an awesome tournament in Duncan, OK, there is an Ace Race going on in Denton next weekend (the 6th) with pick your partner doubles afterwards. Here is the info!

Northlakes Discraft Ace Race
October 6, 2007

No putting, no approaching, JUST RUNNIN' AT THE CHAINS!!!
A PDGA non-sanctioned Event.

The Race Is On! Each Autumn disc golfers from around the world gather at their local courses for one purpose: to throw aces! No putting... no approaching... just runnin' at the chains. Players all throw the same model disc: a brand new and never-seen-before Discraft prototype disc that is introduced each year especially for the One Disc Ace Race. All players get one of these discs to throw and one to collect. You'll be among the first players to ever throw this new disc design.

$20.00 Entry fee pays for your Player Pack Two identical never-before-seen Discraft prototype discs plus a SuperColor mini and a Discraft hat. A $55 value!

Rules of Play: Players are required to use the player package discs and only these discs. If a disc is lost the player has the option of using the second disc from the package. Only one throw per player per hole. There will be a total of 36 holes played. The person with the most aces will win the event! For more info: http://www.discraft.com/events_acerace_07.html

I realize that Northlakes is a very large park but only about a 3rd of the park will be used and ALL holes will be UNDER 200 feet long (temp tee pads will be created).

Prize package: Grand prize for the event is a Discraft merchandise package valued at or above $300!!!!!!!

Schedule:
9:00 AM 10:00 AM Check in for Pre-registered players and open registration 10:00 AM 11:00 AM (flex start)

2nd part of the day (this is optional):
Bring your partner Doubles!!!! It s time to show us what you and your buddy have got. The start time will be determined by the group as a whole (to allow for a brief lunch). The entry fee is $10 per team and the payouts will be determined by the amount of players...but will follow normal payout standards.
The round will be 24 holes (6 of the temp holes will be used remember that these are ace/birdie holes!) There will more than likely be few CTP contests during the round.

Please note: Those of you that pay through titleDISC or get in contact with me and pay by NO LATER THAN September 22nd will be entered in a drawing and get to participate in CTP (closet to the pin) contests for various prizes!!!! This will take place after the contest.

Big up's to Mr Brownlow, took home some sweet $$$ this weekend! WTG mike!

Whats his player rating?

If it goes up anymore he is open for real. :D

Way to represent ColdToe. He has been getting some mad distance the last couple of months. Smoked the rest of funky town on the wide open ball golf course.

Chris, you didn't see the added holes. They were anything but wide open. Precision golf was required on holes 14 thru 20.

And most of the other holes too! I now know I can throw A 480 foot hyzer onto a ball golf green with a predator........ :confused:

And most of the other holes too! I now know I can throw A 480 foot hyzer onto a ball golf green with a predator........ :confused:



You can also throw a 50 foot upshot , 15 feet in front of
you . :oNice putt!

I think that's a double <font color="red"> Oooops! </font>

I did this in both rounds on the same hole from the same distance. Put my upshot right into the ground..... Thank goodness I won some money throwing Gateway plastic! Long live the turbo putter!!! :D
