Personal Best!

[snap7times]

the 9 holer that was at WOU when I went there as a Grad student rocked! ;)
And Yang's, rice time and burgerville are the only 3 places worthy of eating at in monmouth... especially Yang's!

[erp]

Dangit - I was out there yesterday too - would have been nice to catch up with you - played the little course and twice around the middle course netting out at even over the 54 holes of the day.

Now I know why that short course is really there...


I had my PB rounds on all three HH courses yesterday.

I've never been to rice time, but Yang's is the greatest eatery of all! :trophy:

Even better than KFC, huh? :shocked:

[snap7times]

oh yes big time, and so cheap too! gosh me wants yangs now! ga ga ga drool

[Ol' Bob]

Trust me, Colonel Sanders would have to rise from the grave and pick me up in his limo to get me into a KFC.

[vapor]

Today is the first time I shot under par at Lakewood (-1). Birds on 3,7,9 and an OB double bogie on 12. A week ago I shot a personal best -7 at Juel. I think I played better getting the one under.

[Trozzle!!!]

You played HH yesterday Bob? should have gotten ahold of me, I would have met you there

[Ol' Bob]

I didn't have an ETA, Troy, because I had to meet a guy from Beaverville to pick up a purchase I was making from Craig's List. I took loocid along to show me the way and drag me through all three courses. My feet hurt so bad... I was gone from Mud from 8:00AM to 9:30PM. Long day.

[Chad_from_BC]

While I havn't played at courses in your areas (soon!!! May can't come quick enough) my PB at my main course in town, Kamloops BC, is a 50(-4) and at another one of our courses it's a 46(-8). For some reason I can't seem to get close to that -8 again though. Played a solid round there last week with little error and i was only 2 down.

lol wtf

Wanted to find out if this was in Monmouth.

Discussions in Dyed Discs led me to Bansky's art (http://www.banksy.co.uk/) and that image there sent me back here because of the KFC link.

Funniest thing since college kids in Astoria cut the life-sized Colonel Sanders statue off at the ankle and hauled him from the bench outside the KFC, for whatever college kids do with those things. I'm sure that was their personal best.

Thats to funny.

[XandorF]

woot. just got back from playing the groovie cottage grove course. i shot a -6 (with a 5p on hole 4)

[DiscGolfOregon3]

I have never shot an under round at Whistlers Bend for one reason or another. My personal best is 1 over in the original settings. Yesterday, I shot a 1 over, but this 1 over was a little more hard-earned . . . EVERYTHING is pretty much as deep as it can go right now. These more difficult pin settings really make ya work for it . . .

I was pretty darn happy with my round . . . double boge, single boge, and two birdies . . . and 4 coulda-been birdies that glanced off the basket or chains :pullhair:

Whistlers Rocs!!!

[General Scales]

Shot my personal best @ Cherry Hill in CDA yesterday @ 3 under.

Also shot my worst at Downriver on Saturday with a whoopin 13 over. Don't ask me how but it was bad.

[RonTheWhip]

James Hooper and I set the weekly doubles record at Adair last Sunday. (-15) 39. Birdied our first 10 holes (Hole 3 in the Mt. Everett position) - hole 12 in the left. Missed a forty footer on 13 for bird and then a thirty footer on 17 for bird. Took a 3 on 18 and then finished out on 1 and 2 with birds.

Magical round! hit four putts outside the circle between the both of us.

[olydiscgolf]

I can't say much about the overall today, but getting the duece on hole #5 at Trojan was a step in the right direction. I wonder what the distance is on that hole? Anybody in the know?

[Ol' Bob]

Deuces on #5 Trojan are awesome, period. I be happy wit de four.

[snap7times]

played lagoon valley in vacaville for first time today in the steady rain off and on. Left after the front 9 cuz my boy was soaking wet.. had 5 birds...

[mazza]

white river red course -3 with birdie on red 17 long pin placement

[erp]

I finally threw Rooster negative yesterday after years of trying (-2).

Had an amazingly crappy West 9, coming out even where a good round is usually -2 and my best is -4 on the 9.

Then I went over to the East (wooded) side and threw a bogey free -2 for the final score.

Ironically, I played the first nine alone and a friend that rarely plays the back (west) nine rolled up to see if I was out there as I was walking up to one, so the actual heroics of the round were witnessed...

:cheers:

I'd like to dedicate the score to my new Pro Leopard. How I golfed for 5 years without you I will never know...

[Adam Schneider]

Then I went over to the East (wooded) side and threw a bogey free -2 for the final score.
Counting everything as par 3??

[erp]

Yep and I parked my second shot on 2 and 8 East so I was within 6' of the basket...I had to work for #1 with a 20 footer.

Counting everything as par 3??

[Adam Schneider]

Well that's impressive. I can't imagine getting a three on both #3 and #8. Even #1 is tough without a perfect drive.

My best round at Rooster East was also -2, but I did it by going 4, 2, 5, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4, 2!

[ChUcK]

The other day I took my 2nd shot on Geezer with a putter...but failed to card a 3. Still, the longest tee shot of my life was fun to see.

[erp]

Nice flock of birds there Adam - Rooster East giveth and taketh away, definitely, but it gave me the weird ones - I'm usually good for at least 3 birdies back there, but I don't recall ever hitting that many!

I never figured I'd get my first negative round for the 18 by dropping strokes back there - I've never seen anyone par all of them, and I've seen at least one open player take a snowman on 3...

Things can get brutal out there.

Chuck, where is Geezer? Is that a nickname for one of the holes?

[Adam Schneider]

Well, I pretty much expect to get #4, #5, and #6. #7 is easy if the big tree doesn't slap you down in the gully, and #9 isn't hard if you execute your shot correctly. #2 takes some luck.

[ChUcK]

Geezer is hole 12 at Lakewood Park, it's a 650-ish monster that's tough to 3. Never seen a deuce, but I hear stories...

[TreeLove]

The other day I took my 2nd shot on Geezer with a putter...but failed to card a 3. Still, the longest tee shot of my life was fun to see.

Yep, and it looks like we all need to work on our upshots instead... :(

[XandorF]

so i bested my PB at Cottage grove with a -8... then Tom says "oh? your right! i should move all the baskets to the longer harder placements." and thats exactly what we did... sigh :-D

[bthoma1]

I just moved to this area about 8 months ago, and love playing Dexter. When I moved here I was averaging +10, my best is now a +1 with myself averaging +5 ish

[DexterHawk]

It took me two years to shoot under par at Dexter... tough but so much fun.

[captain jack]

All I ever like to do, is make one shot better than I ever had before, each time I go out to play.
One drive thats longer, or one really good 50 foot putt.

At Seatac, on most holes I just try and get close in two shots, but even that can be pretty challenging.

After a disappointing warmup round with another player who posts here, on my second round, I birdied #3 for the first time ever, after playing the course for years now.

This is no big deal for most of you who can RHBH a drive down to within' 50' of the pin, but my best LHFH doesnt ever go past the last row of trees, so its a big deal for me.

And another personal best, so I'm happy for now.
Next challenge will be to birdie #4, that might take a little longer.

[DMajor]

Nice upshot, and way to save it for the first hole after I left.

[captain jack]

Nice upshot, and way to save it for the first hole after I left.

I never play well when I play with you.

You drive so much farther than I do, so I just hurt my arm trying to keep up.
Hey I was happy on most shots to throw it farther than your girl did.

Greg saw my bird, and the two young dudes we were playing with.

Man it was CROWDED out there yesterday, I have never seen so many people out at Seatac, big groups and families, long waits at most of the holes on the back nine, I'm still blaming you, Dan, for telling everyone how awesome Seatac is.

Hey Chuck, did you set up the new seating on 10 ?

[DMajor]

I didn't touch a disc for three days and played acouple windy rounds at terrace yesterday.

First round +7 with lots of bogeys 3,5,8,11,13,18p one double 15 and one birdie 6.

Second round -4 new personal best. Birdied 6,8,11,14,16,17

bogeyed 4,10

[mazza]

river side...blue course...-3

was -5 going into hole 13...hit rim to miss my par. so gave a stroke back there

and hole 15 i hit the yellow rim to miss my par... so gave my 2nd stroke back

[The Ombudsman]

Kenny Clark played Sea Tac yesterday and shot a 3 down!

3-2-3-2-3-3-2-3-2-2-3-3-3-4-3-3-3-4=51

[Jonesy]

I shot my P.B. at Milo today! 95, pro tees - 27 hole layout. Felt like I missed alot of stupid stuff practicing a new putt.

[sodrifter]

shot two p.b. two days in a row.

shot a -13 at riverfront to better my previous record by 1 on thurs.
then on fri. shot a -9 at cottage grove with an ace on hole #16 and a 10 foot bird on hole 8 in the deep setting. WOOT!

[Adam Schneider]

Shot -5 at Ewing Young today, a PB. Birdied #2, #6, #9, #10, #11, and #12. Embarrassingly bogied #7; I blame gusty winds.

[Uhlman]

I shot a 28 (pb) on the "Front 9' at Pendleton and a 37 (not a PB) on the "Back 9" for a 65 which is a PB for 18 holes, while pushing a double stroller with two kids and chasing a three year old.

[runnaman]

Got a personal best today at Pier with a 59 (+5).

[XandorF]

i was in portland for spring break... shot a -4 at pier park (birdies on 1, 11, 12, 16, 18 ; bogey on 17) my new pb

[MOB47]

Tied my best at Whistlers at the SOWS event with a 52. :shooting: it feels good to shoot close to 1000 rated rounds again. heres to practice :cheers::chug:

[Darr]

I shot 59 and 58 on our trip to Whistlers last month. Last week I shot my PB at Timber 52, then today shot a 53 there. I am feeling good for GNO. :rockon:

[runnaman]

Shot a 51 at Willamette Park today. That was pretty awesome, I was -5 going into the last 6 holes, but got 2 bogies.

[cefire]

You dont got to lie to kick it Tom. Way to go man. Thats an awesome score for Arlington.

[sillybizz]

Thanks Jess!

[XandorF]

i shot a 52 at whistlers last week. first time ever playing the course.

my 52 was the third round. (56 1st round, 60 2nd) but i was really happy with the neg score on a new course. love that course

I was there, Brian Wilson was there, and Benny VanKirk was there! Bad Ass round, Ant! :rockon::rockon: It was a pleasure watching you torture Whistlers . . . and I didn't mind throwing further than you the whole time while shooting 12 strokes worse . . . lmao :slapface:

i will take that as a complement:p

[Kris C]

It took me all year, but I finally finished under par at Northstar last month at -3. My PB on the Wreckreator is also -3.

[Raymond]

I have been playing Pier Park since I moved here 3+ years ago and I finally posted a bogey-free round on Sunday. It was also a person best 6 under!

[cefire]

Congrats on the ace buddy. Which hole?:yay:

#2, pretty embarassing actually as it fell in off of the pine right behind the basket. Terrible shot that just happened to be on the right line...

[cefire]

no 4's on timber? nice! does that include a 3 on hole 18? hehe...

Yup 3 on hole 18. and the record has to be way better than that, there are a TON of birdies out there.

Edit: Now I get it, well add three to that for the 19th hole and you get 49 :nono: :blush:

[Adam Schneider]

The record listed on the site here is 43 for 18 holes at Timber.

[DexterHawk]

i shot a -12 at Dexter last night playing Cali... i know it doesn't count, but I really crushed the course. I birdied all of the odd numbered holes including 17 long and 7 short... and had a run of 5 birdies in a row... Disc golf is fun!

wow. see you on sunday partner!

[REDFIVE]

shot a -10 on blue at NAD today. pins were mostely short but the round felt good. Played a buck a stroke shooting one shot from red and one from blue finished -15 through those 36 taking away $3. The two shots per hole was an awesome format. Two and three stroke swings all over the place. I recommend this to anyone near a course that this is possible. I will definately bring this back to whiteriver with me.

[snap7times]

whew... what a long weekend... 3 days of dela veaga, with 2 being in the long the whole way is a lot to handle. Started out good the first round, died hard at the end, then 2nd day complete opposite, +17 and +15, not what I wanted, but the 3rd day a few baskets got moved in a little closer but definitely not helping the SSA by much.. went out and just shot awesome golf, by far the most brutal for me since I had the fewest birds out of the top 10 guys and still had the best score on the weekend for the MA2 division with +3. Was looking at -1 or -2 but had a few unholy spit outs including one from around 55 feet on hole 15 that had me running to the basket and 10 witnesses cheering just to watch the most sick bounce out from dead center and a double bogey on 25. But I am definitely satisfied with the +3 since there were so many good shots in that round including a parked 2nd shot on the famous I-5 from 175ish out of the trees and a few glorious putts from 25-35 feet with cliff like landscape right behind the baskets like hole 2, 21 and 26 with nate and val watching as they spotted 26a. Jumped from 12th place to 6th place for a trophy, good feeling to have when you looking at a 3 and half hour drive back home with the pregnant wife and 4 year old sunburned and passed out heh... Definitely ready for Beaver State!

[runnaman]

Shot a personal best today at Adair with a 59, beat my old PB by 3 strokes. I need to play that course more.

[mazza]

nothing special but i shot a -1 at white river today. and i had to fight back from a +2 at the turn to finish my first round under par at white river

[KG_MCDGC]

After coping with a loss in the family, my loving wife sent me out to get some golf in today before work. Shot a -6 on SE Steilli. My putting is finally coming back after taking the first part of the season off.

I then went to shoot the NW. Needless to say, I got lost. Thanks to Chase, Randy and Matt(?) I played the new holes. Yikes! These holes might end up great, but right now they are just plain mean.

[sillybizz]

I shot a -4 on white tee at Lake Stevens using only an ESP Meteor and a FLX Challenger. :)

I shot a sloppy +2 at the Grove this afternoon and spaced an extra drive on the second to last hole. At 6:45pm I get a call from a guy saying he found my disc. I rushed to the course to get my disc back. I arrived just as the guy was leaving. I decided to try and get in a quick round and ended up shooting a -6. I birdied 1,2,6,7,9,13,14,15,16 and had bogeys on 5,8, 11. My second shot on 8 was nearly pin deep but rolled down the bank and into slough.

[Scott]

Had a great day at Milo yesterday. :shocked: Shot +3 from the Pro tees, 27 holes. I've never been remotely close to that. 2nd round was pretty decent, but not PB worthy. :biggrin2:

[REDFIVE]

I shot a 0 yesterday.

[General Scales]

Shot my best on the D.B.D. at Faragut. Only threw 6 over. Considering the infancy and difficulty of the course (no cement pads yet, pad area's uneven, tons of brush that's being dealt with, etc) I'll gladly take it.

Also tied my P.B on Wreckreator with a 1 under. I've shot it twice in four rounds there so I'll take it. Of course, the other two rounds were abominations of what disc golf should be. The video from those two rounds should be entitled; "Disc Golf and You; How Not to Suck Like Me."

Beware of that slough. It looks like it is about 6" deep but that is just the silt layer. It is quicksand and you'll sink up to your waist. I found out the hard way.

I am sorry to hear you had to go wading. I am not sure if it is silt or sediment from the treatment plant! That sh*t smells nasty.

[General Scales]

What about the NS? Everybody says that's the easier course, but I finished the Wrek under par 3 times before I threw -3 on the NS.

I have thrown a couple 2 downs on Northstar and I would agree that it is the easier of the two original 18's. It was just last November I believe that I even shot my first par on Wrekcreator. I do know a lot of people that have a lot of issues with all the dog legs on Northstar and that's what keeps them from shooting a hot round.

[mazza]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tonight in the rain out at steli. i shot my BEST round ever. so while playin Ronnie B for a $2 dollar round on the alt course. i shot a -2 for all 18 holes. i birdied hole 7,9,14,and 16. but i boggied holes 1, and hole 8. but hey thanks for the money ronnie. i alrdy used it to buy a blunt wrap( man the sweet taste of a win :cool2:) and kathy and alisa were playin the league round at the same time

I took him to Vance because it was short and only nine holes.
I didn't even think he'd play the entire thing.
Well, since this is his first round of golf he did score a personal best.
Sure, it was an 87, but he's only five and he sure made his dad proud.
Now we have our sights set on the 2018 WBDS!

I dropped a 9 down on Willamette this morning. I started with a bogey on one and that was the only one.

wow, nate's first post brought tears from my eyes, it made me realize i suck and there is nothing i can do right this minute because it's dark outside.... whyyyyyyyyyyyy did he have to post those numbers while I have to wait 10 hours before I can go out and play some dg and try to break my PB.... WHYYYYYY!

I really have to agree... not that I could beat any of those scores as of yet... practice practice practice

Obviously, that -1 nine days ago was a flash in the pan. I immediately went back to my regular scheduled program.

Obviously, that -1 nine days ago was a flash in the pan. I immediately went back to my regular scheduled program.

I would think you would have your home course (literally) down by now. Having all the ins and outs.

[Ol' Bob]

My average round here is +5. It's been a struggle lately to get that. I usually get around +15 at your home course.

[sillybizz]

-6 in one lap or two? 6/9 = :yay: 6/18 = :yawn:

Nine holes through :yay: 1 ace, 5 birdies and a bogey

Shot a 64 at HH Meadow Ridge today, which I guess is... +5?

At any rate, it was 3 strokes better than my previous best... which is to say, 3 better than the only other time I bothered keeping score!

Shot a 64 at HH Meadow Ridge today, which I guess is... +5?

At any rate, it was 3 strokes better than my previous best... which is to say, 3 better than the only other time I bothered keeping score!

64 is a solid round on that course. Congrats.

[Scott]

64 is a solid round on that course. Congrats.

64 is very solid. Nice job.

[Adam Schneider]

And here I was thinking it really wasn't very good; counting everything as par threes for simplicity's sake, I had a +10, and I was like, eww.

The 3 on #7 sure felt good though (my only birdie), as did the 5 on #16 (first time I'd managed that).


Afterwards, I totally stunk up the Canyon Course, even though everything was in the short position. :rolleyes2:

[sillybizz]

+5 is a good score on MR, well done!

[runnaman]

I dragged my brother and sister out to Hoover Park today and shot a personal best with a 22.

Not bad.

[Mikk]

played even at HH Meadow ridge!! birdie on hole 7, bogey on 11. bogey on 13, birdie on 18 cuz of a massive roller!! First time ever played at HH, this was on my 2nd round through for the day. I felt realy damn good during the whole round. Every shot had a good flow even the bogeys oddly enough..

[TwiZ]

Finished Bryant last week at +10....Adair +7....gonna try waterloo tommorow. Not sure what I got the last time I played(the only time) there was, but im sure it somewhere around +20

[Scott]

Played Pier with Matthew tonight, and he shot a PB 67. I bogeyed my last hole to miss tying my PB.

[chris7graham]

played timber today tied PB at -5 with 7 birds and 2 bogeys:nono:but still managed to get a great game out of it

[mrDROCK]

Heheh, finally broke par at Pier Park...

Shot -1 while guiding my bro around the course for his first time- a very relaxed round.

Was close to a -2, but went a little right on #16 and got attacked by a pack of bees while making my upshot.

Dead serious- be careful, they live in those bushes just short and right of the pin, and they are mad. :angry: :shocked: :waaah:

I will remember that on my round this morning.

[Ol' Bob]

The bees was framed! I'll bet anything that wasps were behind this despicable attack.

Par at Pier? I've never even gotten close. Good work, Grasshopper.

[Adam Schneider]

Probably yellowjackets. You ought to notify the Parks Department; they like to take care of stuff like that.

[runnaman]

Bested my personal best at Pier today by 7 strokes, shot a 52 (-2).

5 Birdies, 1 Bogey, and 1 Double bogey.

[erp]

I just love that everyone is getting a piece of pier these days - I shot a -2 there last weekend for a PB but was only 3 strokes down from my previous...I'm thinking it was the signs.

Thanks for the new signs stumptown and co!

Bested my personal best at Pier today by 7 strokes, shot a 52 (-2).

5 Birdies, 1 Bogey, and 1 Double bogey.

[mrDROCK]

I tied my personal best at Pier this morning at +4. It feels good to know I have come a long way since February when I was hitting +30 at Pier.

[sillybizz]

-4 today with a double bogey and a single bogey at NAD on Red Tees with short basket positions. Also had two metal hits at the Ace Race which were my first two in the four years I've played. :)

[snap7times]

hit -8 at Timber during the first round of ODDGA summer open this weekend... PB before was like -2 or -3...

[mrDROCK]

Blah, once again I tied my personal best at +4. Things were looking good in the front nine and then after 14 it was downhill. I do feel better about being consistent.

[Wes Hansen]

Here's a different kind of personal....
I think I just had my best 3 tourney rounds in the 10 years I've been playing.
The EC 2010.
Here are some things about those three rounds...
They ONLY gave me a 3rd place finish- though the best I've had in years.
This was only the second time I've managed to keep all three rounds over 900 rated in 10 years!- they were all over 920. I usually throw in a mid-800 round to demonstrate my lack of focus.

I didn't play great, but I played in a way I rarely do- consistently.
I only had 5 birdies all 54 holes. With NO birdies my final 45 holes! Not one at Dexter!?!
Mostly I felt in control of my game- for three rounds. That's rare.
It's not a typical personal best, but it sure felt personal and it was the best I've played in a couple years.

So I am happy.

[TreeLove]

Thanks, Wes, that was encouraging to read. That is, especially for someone who is playing so badly, he has quit 2 tournaments due to lack of fun this year. I have heard other masters talk about reaching a stage where the body simply will no longer do what the brain tells it to, and I think I have reached that stage. Say it ain't so, Wes!

[Wes Hansen]

I guess I'm having the opposite year.
4 things seem to be different.
1. It's taken a few years of beating myself for not becoming a better golfer to actually learn to relax about my game. But that comes from NOT winning, not once, in 10 years. I no longer see not winning as failure. And I don't dwell on past throws. One of the advantaging to this aging thing is I can't seem to remember the last hole I played, so I no longer get down on my game because of a poor throw.
2. 10 months ago I got a 5 minute putting lesson from Tim S. Only about the placement of my feet. I paid attention and have kept applying what he said. I now miss less and, for the first time in 10 years, FEEL and KNOW I can putt. That's been kinda huge.
3. (For Gawain). 2.5 years ago I got laid off and went from working in an office to the first labor I've done in 20+ years. Other than being a full time vagrant that plays DG all the time, getting more exercise and getting in shape seems to be the next best thing. I don't feel as run down during a tourney as I used to. I know I've increased my power from what I had when I started at 38. There's hope. (Quit your office job and start digging ditches. You'll play better!)
4. My personal life is better. I am happier.

I still can't believe I birdied 4 of my 1st 5 holes (5 of 9) and then not one for 45 holes.

We're not getting older and lamer, we're becoming Legends.

[luckylaurent]

I got my best score so far on this course yesterday on this amazing, and very difficult course. I shot a 64 which is +2 from the amateur tees, but my overall score for the day got me first in the rec division. YAY!

[runnaman]

Shot a personal best at Adair today with a 54. Straight par (or -1 if you want to consider 18 in the short a par 4)

[Sam]

48 at Willamette. 6 birdies. 0 bogeys.
It seemed that every time I was outside of the circle, a jump putt went in. And there were a couple of close calls on putts from 80-120' where I hit the cage or the chains without sticking.
Good fun.

[runnaman]

Got all sorts of personal bests this weekend:

Adair Par 60, shot a 63

Willamette, shot a 49, 7 birdies 1 double bogey

Bryant, shot a 63

[snap7times]

Personal best would be willamette at -5 since I haven't been there in 2 years with no practice and a -2 at Bryant was solid Gold for me

[The Ombudsman]

I shot consecutive rounds at FDR (Par 58) of 56, 55 and 54.
The 54 would have been rated 998 at last April's Fool's Fest

Yesterday I shot a 68 on the Animal Course (Blue to Blue Par 67) at Warwick to finish 2nd and win $40.00 at their Monthly.

[runnaman]

Not a personal best on the course, but on the field.

I broke my distance record today: my previous best was 432' (walked off) and today I threw 483' (walked off).

[XandorF]

i shot a -8 at lunchtime short tees yesterday. 2,2,2,4,3,2,2,2,2,3,2,2
fun 3rd round for DGOD tags. and this is my new PB for short tees. yay for short tees :)

[jshrack]

I finally beat par!!! Sadly it was at Highbridge (short pins.) Still counts!!!

I followed it up with a -2 the next day in Moses Lake (9 hole)

I was stoked, one bogey each round though.
Next goal... a bogey free round.

[Mikk]

Threw my best today at white river from the blue pads. 4 birdies and 4 bogeys. par for 18!!!!

[ChUcK]

For my first time golfing since playing in the SuperClassic, I was amazed at how relatively far and fast the smaller golf discs fly. I managed to put my Destroyer exactly pin-high on Seatac #3, best drive ever on that hole.

Also finally broke into the fifties, carding a 59 w/ deuces on 1,3,5,9,10 and a three on 12 and 14. If only I knew how to putt, I coulda been a contender for 54! Someday....

[Will of Doom]

Just shot one of the best rounds of my life. Timber park in the rain and got -10 :yay::yay::yay:

[Will of Doom]

Whaaaat the What? That is so sick! I wish I could have seen it.

I even missed 3 birdies in the 25-35 range. Each one of those hit chains. Was by far the best I've ever played. Drives were deadly accurate and putting was the same. :trophy::trophy:

If you wanna see the round

[Fancher_503]

Back in July I shot an amazing -8 on Rooster West. I pared on hole one then birdied out. I got 4 putts outside the circle, and 3 right on the circle and 2 tap ins. Now if I could just get that duece on hole 1.

[Will of Doom]

Can anyone tell me what a 47 at timber in the rain would be rated. This has me very curious.

[snap7times]

http://www.pdga.com/course-ratings-by-course?RatingCourseID=244

[Will of Doom]

Thanks snap. From what I'm seeing it'd most likely fall between a 1007 and i think it said 1029

Either way it was a freaking wicked round.

May not have been in a tourney but that would be my first round over a 1000 if it had been. :D

[lokirising]

-2 at Orchard playing 18 holes.

[snap7times]

May not have been in a tourney but that would be my first round over a 1000 if it had been. :D

probably more in the 1030-1040 zone since a -8 is 1010-1020ish...

[JK_Aviar]

got a 48 @ Dexter last week, super fun round!

[Bruce]

Last winter a 47 was a 1019 round. The positions played slighty harder than current Timber setup, but still a 1000 rated round for sure, Will. Nice shooting!

Thanks Bruce. Considering the rain it was amazing that I did so well. I've known for a while that I could do it but puting it all together for one round had been eluding me for a long time. Feels great to have finally put out a round that good. Now to see if I can put one together like that at Hornings for team golf this weekend. :D

[chris7graham]

I shot my personal best at trojan today of 53:dancing::yay:

[Kris C]

Today out at Farragut I finished the Northstar at 53. Previous PB was 58.

[Will of Doom]

Shot 2 great rounds at Hornings today. Morning round of -3, and an afternoon round of -6.
My new PB. Old one was -3. :D

[OneDarkRebel]

I shot a 49 at Horning's Hideout yesterday at the Canyon Course. This is a personal best for that course since it's the first time I've ever played it. Also aced 16, which I posted in the "aces" forum. Not bad for my first round in 2 months since coming off an injury.

[cefire]

We took a roadtrip down to Dabney/Milo/Timber today and I had a trio of solid rounds :)

Dabney Superclass - 54
Milo Pro Tees 27 - 80!
Timber - My usual -7 for a 50 - third time in a row I've hit -7 there :)

[sillybizz]

You were super annoying today parking drives and hitting putts. If you keep that up I might have to go Tanya Harding style on you!

I buried a pressure thirty footer in front of a crowd at Chainbangers today, with my trusty Ridge, to get my free premium disc ! :yay:

[Toby Puttzinski]

Congratulations... did you post it in the Aces thread as well?

[Uhlman]

Yesterday I shot a -1 for my first round of the front nine at the Pendleton course. Not a big deal for some as it’s a par 28 and fairly open and short, however solid putting and some killer upshots made this round one of my best, a birdie on a hole 6a, which I have never birdied before, helped too. Hole 8 was my only challenge of the round. I had a bad drive across the creek and had to get out from behind some woody edge of the creek brush that likes to grab discs and generally wreak havoc with your throw. My get out of trouble shot landed me about 60 feet from the basket, at this I decided that I would try a step putt and when it brushed the chains I thought they were going to reject my disc but instead it was slammed in to the basket. There was much rejoicing.
My second nine started out good with two pars and a birdie on hole 3 but after an awesome drive and what should have been an easy birdie on hole 4 turned into par my game went downhill from there and shot a 30 for the second 9.

[A.T.]

Just shot a new personal best 46 for an -8 at Tom Pearce Park in Grants Pass, previously my best there was a 50 with the new pin placements. This is cause for celebration. :cheers:

[runnaman]

My first time playing the 18 hole layout at Dallas I shot a +4 (58, not even sure how that's possible). But today I shot a -4 (50). 8 strokes better!!

[Darr]

59 at Hagg today. Finally under 60 my previous PB! :rockon:

[Trozzle!!!]

+3 using holes 10 and 18 as fours like we do. Not bad at all Darr. Only 8 shots off of Feldberg and the course record of -5

[mazza]

so for my first time in Oregon...played hagg +9...grand lodge...-5.....horning hideout Canyon course 26 hole layout....-10(with trozzle)

[chris7graham]

Thanks for the scrambled brain with my morning coffee... sorry, I tend to Bogart the site's punctuation marks... here, take a period or two
There you go, put it right there:wink2:

To avoid thread drift, I believe I shot my personal best 'rated' tourney round(1026) as part of a DNF. It was more of a 'pressure-free' casual round though, as I had showed up at half-time of the Pretzelbowl, paid in, and joined a chill group. I thought I finished -2 or 3, but I ended up -7 due to four par 4's. The tourney round that I'm actually most proud of is a -7 (1000+) on the SE course at the Steily Spring Classic in '09-- tying Feldberg for the hot round of the day, on that course. For the record, I gave it all back on the NW course with a +7, and Feldberg had just finish slaying the NW course with a -9 or something(16 strokes diff. if you're counting).

Personal best at the memorial in tournament play all 3 rounds. But in different ways. The first round was my best score at fountain hills in tournament play with minimal mistakes and freak incidents. The 2nd and 3rd rounds were my best at both courses with all the freak things that happened showing that I have improved in my "get out of trouble" and "rebound" game.... If a bad round can be 945 rated, I'm happy.

[Ol' Bob]

Most all of us play disc golf with a drive to improve. Few of us would care to put in no effort in this direction. It would be nice (somewhere, a disc hits a tree here) if this spread to all aspects of our lives. Spelling and grammar should not be a point over which we whip our fellows, but not caring to improve in this, or in anything in which we engage ourselves, might.

There's no doubt that the best of us fall short in presenting our thoughts in writing, and self-proof-writing is harder than proof-writing others' work, so we should all be slow to criticize. I will, however, remain a critic of those who don't care to try to improve. I guess this is because I, as a dyslexic and ADHD failure in my early scholastic days, had much to overcome. I still don't know (or understand) all the rules of grammar. Spell-checkers have taught me much and I rely heavily on these. But, I'm willing to improve, or at least try at my own level of ability. I honor others who do likewise.

A local watering hole is a pretty good analogy for what a message board boils down to. A place to come shoot the shit, see your friends, other regulars you don't know as well, sometimes new faces.

Accepting that then the question becomes; What type of bar do you want to hang out in? As Yose mentioned, should it be a place where newcomers are immediately mocked because they look or talk different?

I'm sure most anyone who has experimented with random bars, in random parts of the country knows the feeling of making a tactical error and feeling unwelcome from the first step in the door. To save face maybe you buy one cheap beer, pound it, and get the he'll out. Or maybe (started sentence with "or" :-p ) the uneasiness dies back and you get comfy, and have a conversation and another drink and by the time you leave your already thinking about goin back again.

Now imagine instead of just dirty looks and whispers you get a, "Ohhhhh we got a cracker," or, "Loook sir-ee at this city boy walkin in here," or whatever scenario you can imagine. Many would just leave immediately. And what is the end result? The new patron never gives the place a chance. Conversely the bar has less customers, diversity, and color.

Of course being called on bad grammar and abrasive socio-ethnic labeling are not analogous, but what they do share incommon is when done amongst strangers they are rather offensive and off-putting, but when done amongst friends can be much more benign or even funny.

Know your audience. Is it a regular? A buddy? A rival? A stranger?

What kind of bar do you like to go to??

[Bryon_Harris]

And just to rein back on the thred drift a little bit....hmmm when was my last PB? I guess the +5 at Wildlife in the afternoon was my last round I was kinda proud of. Also that day I shot the front nine at -2 for the day ( slightly cushining my +14 on the back, scuffling and dragging my way to the best overall score that day. yikes that back is fierce)

Not too sure if I completely agree with your analogy (spoken communication is way different than written communication), but it is close enough to work in this context so we will go with it: So what if the new person who came up to the bar was unable to communicate with anyone in the bar? Now, if that person is not a native of the country and an obvious visitor most people would do their best to at least try and understand enough to serve them a beverage but there certainly won't be any deep philosophical discussions taking place...
But if the person grew up in this country and still can't communicate effectively, on even a basic level, what are you left to think?

Personally, I didn't realize that my quick one-off comment would start such a firestorm. It was just shocking to see such a lack of coherent communication, the likes of which haven't been seen since the old days on the previous board from a semi-famous poster named Herm.

So I will apologize for the lack of restraint on my part, welcome the poster with the hateful handle and just be glad that he enjoyed a good time at the Champoeg and Dabeny courses.:kissflowers:

[runnaman]

I shot a 47 yesterday at Dallas playing the normal layout. Previous PB was a 50

[Ol' Bob]

Damn it, back on topic.

[KG_MCDGC]

I shot a 57 from the Black/Pro tees at Shelton Springs DGC on Monday (3/7). I had 6 birdies, and 0 bogeys! This is my best round by far at the Springs. I think that this round was a testament to how well you can score here if you play smart, meaning hitting your lines and birdie opportunities. My other scores here, since MCDG put in baskets, are a 63, a 64, and a 67. Shelton Springs is unique in that every hole can be birdied; only little do you know, that birdie is a carrot at the end of a stick.

Just wanted to say got a ace at whistlers yesterday (hole 3) first time. that makes my 4th ace at the Bend. I've got holes 1 twice, 3, and 17. What golfer out there has the most at whistlers?

P.S. can i get one of the arrogant A**holes to check my post for spelling and grammer pleace?

[Sam]

Sure... the words you were going for were "an ace", "grammar" and "please". Anything I can do to help one of my favorite triplets. :)

I had to make some mistakes if I was going to make a get my point across.:headbang::headbang::headbang:

[Adam Schneider]

You missed "Whistler's" and "gotten" (unless he's British).

[Scott]

I had to make some mistakes if I was going to make a get my point across.:headbang::headbang::headbang:

And I assume you were making a second point with this sentence as well?

[NextLevel]

You missed "Whistler's" and "gotten" (unless he's British).

Whistlers Bend County Park, including Whistlers Bend DGC, has no apostrophe in the title . . . unless you mention Whistlers' baskets, as an example. Just thought that I'd share that. :biggrin2:

-Derek :wink2:

[Adam Schneider]

I guess that's true... for some reason the U.S. Board on Geographic Names has apostrophobia. It's almost like, back in the day, they didn't have that key on their typewriter or something. So we get silliness like Marys River and Pikes Peak.

It's definitely capitalized though. :biggrin2:

Grammer ranjer merit badges for everyone!

shot +3 at peir park on saturday with mik..trozzle..and two other locals...i had a bird opp on hole 15(missed) bird opp on 16(missed) bird opp on 17(missed)and a bird opp on 18(and missed)

[wyattearp67]

[Scott]

Actually, you had a birdie oportunity on every hole. Some were just longer than others.

[XandorF]

birdie on hole 13 LONG at pier today.
huge anhyzer boss to the left put it about 20ft behind the basket.

not my personal best round but it was my first birdie on 13 long and i thought it was worth mentioning. :)

["BEAST"]

My personal best at any course is -6 at Keizer Rapids with 4 bogeys. Others I only rememer my local courses; -4 at Cascades, -4 at Woodmansee, -6 at Taloali and -9 in a doubles game with my bro. I'm most proud of the -4 at Woodmansee on all 18 t-pads. That is the most technical course in Salem area bar-none. VIVA WOODMANSEE!

[Bryon_Harris]

I want to type up more about a quick blast of a trip my bud John and I rallied but here are the quick hits...

Fundraiser Tourny Doubles Round
(Epic Invitational Masters Championship Kick Off.)
Meadow Ridge: 55

Actual Competition
Rounds Worth One Point. Aggregate Worth One Point.

Day 1
Bryon John
Meadow Ridge: 64 67
Stub: 59 63
Stub: 63 59

Day 2
Milo
(27, pro pads) 96 96
Milo (same) 94 94
Timber 54 52

I went bird, bogie, bird on final 3 holes at timber to win the aggeragate by one stroke. This is after 126 holes. 430 to 431. Wild.

Other Notes... Saw Camo Ace hole 2 Meadow ridge. Saw Aaron shoot -10 at Timber. Shot video of John hitting a 120 foot flick for bird from shule on hole 3E at Milo. 3 near Aces between John and I. Great courses, Was physically exhausted by the end of day 2. Nice bumping into friendly faces at all the courses. Enjoy my D-Zone I left in the parking lot at Stub!

[mine all mine]

Shot a two over at Seatac today. Nothing to really brag about, but it was my personal best so far

[cefire]

Nothing wrong with a +2, nice round :trophy:

[XandorF]

just finished an awesome trip to bend and humboldt and did a bunch of discin. played a round at lake selmac and shot a -5 on my first round there ever, so i guess its my new PB :)...though, it was only 17 holes. i couldnt find the last basket and figured the area it was suppose to be was flooded so it was taken out. still a great course and i shot ok, but i hit some great puts and i only had one bogey which was nice. cant wait to play it again some day!

[Bryon_Harris]

The other placement for 18 is back East across the field the way you come from. Less than 50 yards from 16's basket but further North. It is normally the B placement but like you said, is all that is used when the field is wet. Nice round! Go to the SOWS thread and check out scores from recently. The weather was bad that weekend but you'll see that -5 compares nicely.

[runnaman]

Had a great round today at Adair. Shot a PB 50! The best part, it felt like an OK round. I missed some stuff and made one ~60-70 putt for a birdie.

[Bryon_Harris]

We took our little rouge valley "invitational" crew on the road to whistlers for our first tour stop of the season today. We played a point system over three rounds, dubz, singles, dubz so we could of course have a champ but also decide the seating in the packed car for the ride home. Of course as the driver and with no chance to improve my seat I took home the win. The PB was my singles round of 2- to tie my record there.

Sweet furthest from pin contest to break the tie and decide who sit's middle for the ride home. John was very excited to not lose. As unofficially official TD I can attest to being fitly rich in juicy whistlers sights and sounds, being accused at least a dozen times of wrongdoing on the format (thanx Tony, your turn next), and plundering all the sticky whistlers clay smeared on my discs.

Way to park 7 chase. My personal highlight was birding 6 with a backhand roller with a archangel.

Where for the next invitational?

[the flogging putter]

There is a new course record at Whistler's Bend. Spencer:cool2: shot a bogey free 43 with only 19 strokes on the front 9:yay::cheers::trophy::cheerleader:. He beat the old record by 2. 11 down, amazing round brother. On the OG setting.

[Huk-DMC]

Was super stoked to be a witness to such a sweet round. :yay: :chug:
Spencer started 8 for 8, and birdied 10, 15, and 17.



---On another note I played my all time record for holes at WB in one day. 3 rounds and 1 extra safari Hole from 2 tee to 3 basket.

[Nate Sexton]

Sweet round! About time that 6 year old record went down. -11 is a tough score to beat, could be another 6 years...congrats!

[snap7times]

PB for me at my own course Jerry Miller DGC @ Camp Taloali with holes 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11-14, 16-18 in the longs for a -7. Watched Tyler Blais ace the new elevated 17, that was sick.

[Pineapple]

All hail the new king! Nice round!!

[Tim Wenrich]

My PB WAS ON APRIL FOOLS DAY 2011 with an ace at Timber on #14 and a -6 on the 18..By far the best round of my Life!

you mean 19 CONGRATS

[Sam]

Set my PB at Pier yesterday with a 49, -5. Many baskets in the long, it was a really smooth round. Started out hot - in the circle on 1 but came up short on the putt. Birdies on 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 put me -5. Chain out on 8 after a great upshot for a bogey. Birdies on 10 and 11 and then pars until 18 (though a spit-out on 16 for birdie) where I got another spit out for another bogey. Good fun round. I want more!

[runnaman]

Beat my personal best yesterday at Adair Handicap League last night with a 49. 8 birdies, a double bogey, and a bogey.

[Denny]

Personal best at pier park the other day, 8 down.
birdied 2,4,5,6,8,10,12,14,16,....bogey 17 :pullhair:
Everything in the long except 16.

[sillybizz]

-2 @ Terrace Creek with 9 birdies! :trophy:

[sillybizz]

Right after my personal best of 52 at Terrace Creek, today I shot a 62 at Seatac, new personal best for me again! :)

[the flogging putter]

Devin and I shot a 19 down in 19(turkey's 2A new) holes at Riverfront this week. All birdies

[ryanajanes]

i shot a 64 at stub stewart. my second round ever there. and i could have easily shaved off a few more. hopefully next time i will shoot even.

[willbeme]

Man you guys are way better than me. Took me a long time just to finish the game, let alone a decent score. I am a beginner though.

[HarrisonH]

Shot -5 at Greenway yesterday... definitely not gonna complain! Birdied 2-4, 7 and 8. Hole 6 counts as a par 3, of course.

[sillybizz]

[YukiYamani]

Just got done throwin my best ever here. 27 hoes. Par of 88. I managed to throw a 90. As well as a birdie on hole 4. Anyone who's played this course knows how incredible that is.

[Bryon_Harris]

[runnaman]

Not counting my 2 stroke scoring error penalty, I shot my Personal Best on the BSF East Course this past weekend with a 58.
