Goodluck to all players this coming week at worlds!

Look for these okie names at the TOP of the leaderboards!!!

Paul is at it crunching numbers and soon it will be time to throw some discs and forget about work for awhile. I hope my finish is a little better than projected so I can make the cut. We got a good group going from T-Town!

I think if you all wore OU shirts you would definetly intimidate the field, lol!!! Good luck to you all.

Good luck to all competing from Oklahoma!! Drive safely and bring home some cash! Crowl, be careful on Sunday!

Devan and Paige Pierce finished 2nd in the mixed doubles competition.

They lost by 4 strokes to King/Feldberg...

scores are starting to roll in... take a look at that masters field! mitch mac is 1 back, jose is 2 back, cris is 3 back! nice opening rounds guys!

and as of this post, the dude is sitting in the top 5, two strokes back. but half the pro field has not finished their round yet.

good shootin adam !!! keep that up and you'll be the new champ.

Great job...all the okies are playing well!! Adam on the lead card...awesome!!

Did you notice that Devan Owens and Paul Dorries

Hopefully everybody keeps their cool.

The Angry Clown and Detonation Dorries on the same card!:eek::D

I haven't heard of any problems since his return....
but I was the personal recipient of his anger at the KC Wide Open one year.
Worse display of unsportsman like conduct I have ever seen displayed towards another player.
and no I didn't do anything wrong.

Lets hope he has turned it around.

Way to keep it real fellas! This is proff TTown has some world class golfers. I'm so proud of all you guys!

It's Cool to see the Homies in the hunt at the Pro Worlds, it's especially prideful for me because your starting to see what good courses can do to your local talent. Good courses train the homies to be able to play anywhere. The Dude has proven it all over the place, the ORU crew and what happened to big fish little pond, why the hell is Hatfield not at worlds?

It took alot of in fighting with the club to finally be able to build some pro style courses, but it's paying off.

Good job Big Fellas!

I miss seeing CrackAttackMitchMac out and about and great to see him in the hunt. I'm looking forward to 3 years from now, cuz If all I have to do to win it is beat June Bug Hammock I can't wait to move up.

hatfield is there . just not shining yet

Looks like Devan is on a cool Card today.
Barry Schultz and Ken Climo.
Go get em Devan.
All the rest of you OKIES its moving day.
Good luck today.

hatfield is there . just not shining yet

ooops yeah now I see him

I guess that will happen when you leave the small pond and jump in to the big pond with all the big fish get eaten up.

I think this is going to be a big day for Crowl and Hunt and another solid round for Dorries and the Dude is going to get in the top 5 today....
The dude has got to better my performances in Worlds 8th and 2 10ths, come on DUDE!!!

The LEGEND speaks!!!

Good to see you posting here Kev!!

Devin the Dude -10 48 beat Climo, Schultz, Brinster combined

So, Dale, you didn't go?

No,
My big vaction/DG trip was to the US Masters in Georgia.
Spent 2 weeks vacation and a few $$$ on that trip :)
I really like the courses at the IDGC.
I will likely go back if it is hosted there in 2011.

Finish Strong Devan.

Dale,

I played at the IDGC in 2007 when the opened the new HQ bldg. I loved the Jackson course, but struggled on the Headrick. The third course was not yet open. How was that course compared to the other two?

I have to confess that I only had time before the tourney to play the two courses that I ended up playing during the tournament. Which were the Jackson and Headrick courses, But looking at the map,The Werner course appears a little more open, shorter and a little more technical, more turns ect.
I intend to find out :)

I've got about 20 rounds on the Jackson and Steady Ed course and 6 rounds on Warner and all of them are very similar when it comes to "open". The Jim Warner course needs about 3 more years of play but it may turn out to be the best course there, but really all the courses are still below what I think the standard should be at the IDGC. They are ok but the headquarters should have amazing courses.

By the Way Good job DEVAN Top 10!!! Hell yeah!

Kevin, what would you consider the 2 major weaknesses of the Jackson and Headrick courses?
I like the setting for sure and I know alot of work went into these courses.
What would you do to make the existing courses "amazing" ?

I am not asking you to impail yourself on your own sword.
As a course designer I respect and would like your imput on these courses.
I saw a well respected Golfer/Designer make a comment that on #9 on the Jackson Course the tree about 35 just short and right was really in the fairway and should be removed.
Just one example of a possible change that I heard mentioned.

I would give all the courses 6 out of 10. They are fine and adequate but since they are at the PDGA HQ they should be some of the best in the world. Some of the holes had good intentions but they didn't work and they are too stubborn to change them #4 Steady Ed & #3 Jackson as example.

There are still way too many stumps and "debris" in the fairways, which of a course at that stature they need to bring bulldozers in and completely scrape the ground and smooth the fairways out. It's frustrating to nut the fairway and be up against a stump.

If your gonna carve out courses, why leave random trees in the middle of fairways? Take holes 14 & 16 at Blackhawk, they could both fit in on any of the IDGC course. There is a definite clear fairway without random trees which brings less luck facotr and more skill factor. IDGC still has a lot of luck factor.

The Warner was designed mostly by Jim Kenner of Discraft and he is a excellent course designer. It just needs some time, it's barely over a year old. They were the 3rd course in and didn't get to use the prime land and had to make due with the land that was left. It's seems cool but there are still a lot of rough areas.

The courses are all still relatively new and I'm far from giving up on them as being great.

I am big fan of all the holes on the lake, but go figure I love the water holes.:D

Regional favorite Eroc McCabe is our new champ!!
Devon 10th
Josh, Paul, Coda 48th-52nd range
Adam and Taylor did not make the cut.
Good job boys!!

I think a tight anhyser opening on #4 headrick for that back pin would be cool.
Same thing on # 3 Jackson, make it a risk reward, option.
Play the big fairway play for your 3, or risk the tight line to shoot for 2.

I completely understand the occasional stump in the fairway.
Hopefully they can continue to groom the courses as time goes on.

I understand the random tree issue in the fairway landing zones.
A good example is #1 on Jackson.
I believe they intended there to be one landing area to the right, about 20 -30 past the 1st fairway trees, to be rewarded consistently with an open shot.
You can cut off some distance to the left and maybe miss the trees...
or get kicked left into the woods. agree its random luck IF you go left.
I really believe the concept of these trees is just like fairway bunkers.
If you hit the designed line and distance no problem, but if you stray they are definitely in play.
Just like ball golf fairway bunkers...

Love the lake holes as well.
Not to mention playing in the Georgia Pines :O)

Thanks for your imput.

If you can make it back, I can show you some sneaky lines on some of the holes to make birdies on those par 4's and 5's out there. It's my good Homie Josh Childs home courses so between playin about 7 events there and some practice rounds with the Rooster, I'm getting to know those courses really well.

The Augusta Classic is just 8 weeks away make it another trip out there ;)

I'll probably be back next year.
I sure would like to come in 8 weeks but it is unlikely.
Sounds like if its there again next year you will be in the mix ???
