I'm not sure a lesson was taught or learned with this, but I do believe it opened up a necessary conversation. Maybe another tour management system is necessary to ensure that the PDGA is properly staffed and present at HQ...
Are you ready to get massacred?
We are looking for some volunteers/hole captains for this year's Massacre. If you would like to design a hole, all you need to do is talk to Mark Dudenhoeffer, set it up, and take it down...let's see what cool/creative ideas you can come up with...the...
Gateway Black Friday
Check out www.gdstour.com (clickable link provided) and http://gatewaydiscgolfdirect.com/specials.html for the Gateway offerings...good stuff! Killer basket deals, new bags, new discs...all sorts of goodies to be had!
White Birch in St. Louis (Hazelwood) has been in since around 1979. It was Steady Ed original design, I believe...massive erosion, but pretty much the same as day one.
JohnE played pro level competitive soccer until his knees started giving him problems. I believe that disc golf became his source of competition afterwards...beating Climo on his own turf for years must have been fun!
From time to time college/professional athletic fields get re-surfaced with the top-of-the-line RealTurf field covering. It is engineered with safety, durability, and all-weather performance in mind. I know that here is St. Louis, David McCormack has had some of this on hand at the Gateway...
I think a bunch of you are forgetting that they have MULTIPLE BASKET LOCATIONS. This makes the rotating bracket necessary, as the next tee is not always going to be in the same direction. Your design is a perfect start as far as I can tell. The players should be able to look at the arrow...
I run some leagues at Jefferson Barracks Historical Park in STL. There is a brand new course, Willmore Park, just down the road (less than 10 minutes drive time) that helps alleviate a LOT of the pressure that JB was feeling, but we still managed to go through over 10,000 scorecards last year...
I am fairly certain that Fatty McRubberpants misinterpreted what Gateway was insinuating. I am sure David wouldn't ask for $3000 unless it was a justifiable expenditure. I believe that he just designed a course in Santa Fe. While I am not sure what any of the design costs were, there...
USA!
I wasn't quick enough to snag a photo, but a bald eagle flew right down fairway 18 at Willmore Park DGC in St. Louis City! I am sure he/she was just looking for an easy meal in one of the stocked ponds... very cool!
I won't have any at the Friday Briscoe Woods Break-In tournament in the morning, but you should have plenty of opportunities throughout the day to pick one up. Let me know and i will point you in the right direction. You will certainly be able to join the largest(?) club in the world at...
Player's Pack starting to come together...
Here is a pic of some of the Player's Pack items...
- custom printed Dri-Fit shirt from Dynamic Discs
- SuperColor mini from Discraft
- Innova mini (GStar plastic I think)
- Prodigy Proto Plastic D3
- high durability, stainless steel pencil sharpener...
Last year we focused too heavily on the Player's Pack. It seemed that a lot of tournaments were going trophy only, or at least indicated that they were, so we wanted to make sure our Player's Pack was at least as nice as everyone else. The retail value of the Player's Pack was well over $120...
It will kick my butt this weekend...
There are numerous brutal holes at the Ozark Mountain DG Complex in Vichy, MO, but Hole 3 on the Spencer-Davis layout is absolutely insane. It is straight up a rocky, insanely steep hill for about the first 350'-400'...it is hard enough just to walk up it...
