I'm assuming Gateways addition to the players pack will be the new Scout or something from Nikko's up coming line up.

Let's hope it isn't those not :wallDGA approved first run Ninja's from last year!!

For as long as I can remember the Gateway disc given out was either a mid range or a putter.

It was the Diablo a few years ago.

Nothing will ever bet the year it was phenix straps and a CE disc of your choice. That year was AWESOME!!

I hope they do that again this year

Seriously though, I am very close to signing up for this one. Does anybody have a SO or buddy or something that would want to watch a dog for the weekend (I don't have much to offer in payment, maybe some plastic? or like $20) I'd rather not have to leave him in the car (possibly tied up at tourney central) (or possibly be allowed on the course? most likely not, as I know it's against PDGA rules, some TD's won't mind as long as the card doesn't mind, but for such a large scale event I'll assume otherwise). I'd also rather not have to pay to board him, but am willing to consider that option if there's an inexpensive local place.
