Chick Flick Saturday Mixed Doubles?

[darrl]

Hi all, I just signed up for the Chick Flick and am looking forward to a great time. I'm not planning on attending the clinics on Saturday, so I was hoping there might be some other couples interested in playing mixed doubles with my husband and I (Patrick) during the day? :chinscratch:
Let me know if you're interested...

[Sam]

Mixed doubles sounds like fun to us! Count us in. :cheers:

The clinics on Saturday are going to be very helpful. They will be split up into groups according to abilities, so the more advanced players will receive instruction in more advanced technics. The newer players will have instruction in the basics. What could be more fun than hanging with a bunch of other Chicks learning and sharing together. :yay: The mixed round after the clinics will be mixed divisions to give the new players their first tournament experience with other players who have played in tournaments before, so hopefully we will have enough experienced players to mix with the newer players. :wink2:

Yep. That's what we are talking about. 3 couples in for mixed doubles over clinics. I hope we get more.

No offense to those running or attending the clinics. Some will just not be interested in them. :cheers:

(sound of throat clearing) I do believe the course is reserved and paid for and therefore closed for the "Chick" Flick. I do understand that a round of mixed Male/Female doubles would be a lot of fun, but lets save that for another day. Patrick and Sam.......I bet your help would really, really be appreciated shagging discs during the "Driving Clinic". Shoot I think I'm being volunteered to do some cooking or food prep. Let's be men enough to fill supporting roles and give back to the ladies for all of their support to us over the years. It's only one weekend out of our disc golf lives, but will have an impact, with rewards, for years to come.

That's Bobs 2cents! ;)

I agree. Whereas I would also like to throw some in some sort of couples doubles, I will be helping out during the clinics - however needed. I am quite sure there would be time for such a doubles round at some point Saturday evening (did somebody say glow?). Besides, are there already enough women to run the clinics? Might they need some additional help?

Bob is right. This is an opportunity to help grow our sport - especially the women involved in the sport. Amy just mentioned the Chick Flick to a couple of ladies we ran into out at Leverich last night - and she stressed the clinics at the event. Hopefully they are able to make it.

[Darr]

While I agree that the clinics are worthwhile, this is my first tournament. I am the type of person you are all talking about. I have supported my husband for years, but this is my first foray into tournaments. We are all adults and I believe we can all make a choice as to what we want to do that weekend. I really want to have a great first experience with the tournament scene and I hope that we can all just go out there and have a good time. Let's just have the clinincs for the people that want to have the clinics and let others play the course that want to play the course it's not the end of the world for people to want to do different things. :dancing:

[Trozzle!!!]

Pat, or Pats wife, whoever it is. grt Pat to wear the Equity Man costume during the round and maybe that costume will help him get the caddy award? hahaha. Ive seen Pat in the Equity Man costume, not a pretty scene. :laughing:

I am speaking on behalf of the Chick Flick committee, who happened to meet for the 6th time tonight in as many months. This thread was one of the topics we discussed. We have been putting a lot of time, effort and money into an event that we love and see great value in. We have a grand plan of what we would like this weekend to be. When we open the forum and see an event posted under the Chick Flick that conflicts with the schedule of the weekend, we believe that this creates a divide in our small, women's disc golf community.

Please either consider not playing during the clinics or play elsewhere. There is plenty of time to play later that evening if you and your partner would like to play doubles with other couples. You can play mixed doubles any day of the year and at any course. Please give the ladies one weekend to shine...there are 51 other weekends for you to play as you please.

[Sam]

OK. On second thought, I think that we can help out with the tournament and work with the tournament directors to maybe also have a daylight mixed doubles round. Clearly during the clinics is being frowned upon and I think we should do all we can to support the efforts and the ladies.

Thank you, Sam. We appreciate it! :cheers:

Plus, we need Jamie to teach us how to throw those sweet anny shots!

Thank you Sam your support is much appreciated as well as all the Flock :bowing:

I would love to give advice on forehand throws, and I have done before at Worlds Biggest, but Carie has me beat there. Her forehand throws are much better than mine

Sam, I know you take a lot of $hit from people on this forum about your attitude and the way you come across online. Maybe some of it is deserved :biggrin2: but you have also been known to compromise when needed, and I thought that should be pointed out, too. Well done, sir. I look forward to hanging out with you, Jamie, and everyone else that weekend.

I will try to have a supply of IPAs with me. Yum.

[Mystjava]

I would love to learn how to do the forehand shot -- that is one of my weakest area and I appreciate everyone being understanding in making this a wonderful event for everyone to learn and enjoy!

[Sam]

Bob... please go back and read who started the thread - not Pat. I then spoke to Jamie and asked if she wanted to attend the clinics or play mixed doubles since ONE OF THE OTHER LADIES had suggested it. She wanted to play mixed doubles so I posted as much. Not Pat's decision. Not Sam's decision. Their ladies' decisions.

I appreciate all of the hard work and all of the planning going into this event and I am sure it is going to be awesome. That said, I find the tack taken here an odd one - the ladies who sign up for the event are not allowed to play on the course during one of the activities that they might not be interested in? That's like closing the course during the ring of fire to get more people to participate in that.

I am fine with not playing doubles. I was just getting on board with one of the shiny ladies' ideas. I just find the tack odd. I can see the edict - participate in the clinics or don't bother coming - being taken in a way that maybe it wasn't intended.

Sam, I know you or Pat didn't start the thread and that you were only "getting onboard" with the idea of mixed doubles. Without looking back I believe there was somebody else "getting onboard". I didn't want to see EVERBODY "getting onboard", and this snwoballing when the event is being planned already. If someone signed up for Rose City Open, then thought it would be more fun to not play the event as planned, (singles) and decided they wanted to play doubles during the tournament, I think I would have to say, sorry folks but you can't do it.

darrl..........I do appologize if this all sounds like we are piling up on you. That is not the intent. If you don't want to participate in the clinics that is fine and I'm sure not a problem. As I said before, I too think playing partner doubles sounds like a great idea and I'm all for it. Just not here! I did a couples only day at Timber in February which was a lot of fun and maybe we are overdue for another. I believe that because of the work, planning, and success of last years Chick Flick, my couples day was able to be a success, as many of the ladies started playing or were motivated to keep playing because of their involvement in the Chick Flick.

I really don't even feel comfortable having to reply on this thread since I am not part of the Chick Flick, and want the ladies to do it all themselves as they have shown they are able to do so well on their own. I just want the guys to understand and realize that this really is ALL about the ladies.

Bob

[Sam]

Just so we're clear... the course will be closed during the clinics and women (playing without their men, even) who are not interested in participating in the clinics are supposed to... not even be at the course? Saturday was supposed to be a casual day, right?

I do not want to sully the Chick Flick thing either, Bob. And I wouldn't have posted again but you keep coming back to the "guys need to understand" which is more than a little silly considering I have stated that it was the women who wanted to do this and their men were being supportive of their ladies' desires on what was supposed to be their weekend. I am having a hard time understanding why that is being missed here, Bob. Should I try saying it a different way?

I understand both sides... but feel the heavy-handed nature of the responses - not to even mention trying to pin it on Patrick and I - was more than super lame. Seriously... the phone call from T-Bell would have been enough and I would have jumped to your guys' side without a moment's thought. I did that before I read Carie's post and really absorbed your post, Bob. But... telling people to not even bother showing up at the course if they want to play doubles will probably result in exactly that which will mean a lower turnout for the Chick Flick.

Please enough already this is getting way out of hand, and putting a negative spin on what is suppose to be a positive event. For those who do not want to take part in the clinics or help out with the clinics that is perfectly fine. The intention is to have a causal day for the LADIES to play together, and to learn together. However the canyon course will be closed for we may be using parts of it for the clinics, and later for the causal mixed division rounds. The Highland course will be open for casual play, and for those who choose not to take part in the clinics or casual mixed division round. The Canyon course will be available for play after the clinics, and casual round for the rest of the day. Really guys & gals lets try to work together to put on the most awesome disc golf weekend. There are a lot of people who are working really hard towards that goal, and this stuff is just really discouraging.

[Sam]

The conversation is discouraging? I think you might want to evaluate what I said and wonder if the edicts were discouraging. I know of at least one lady (not Jamie) who is discouraged enough to withdraw her entry over the responses seen in this thread. I know that was not the goal of the committee's edicts so maybe a little introspection is called for here?

I'm done. I will be supporting my lady that weekend. If she wishes to play mixed doubles or attend the clinics or go to the beach or have a picnic or go for a hike, that is where I will be.

[darrl]

Well said Sam.

[Minordiety]

Well said Sam.

Your questions, concerns, and whatever else you might think of should be addressed to the Chick Flick Committee at thechickflick@gmail.com. They have the answers to the questions you want to ask.


And gentlemen, please feel free to PM me with your concerns, questions, and whatever else. But please note that I do run EVERYTHING through the Chick Flick Committee before I answer (since it is their event.)

Darrl (I'm sorry but I don't remember your name,) please contact the committee. They are an awesome group of women, who I'm sure you will enjoy disc golfing with.


John has left the building.:cool2:

[Steve McMahan]

I'm really looking forward to this great event and can't wait to help out in every way possible. I'm behind you all the way ladies and my hat is off to all of you who have spent many hours of hard work to see this happen in the grandest of fashion :kissflowers:. I'll see you all there!

[Sam]

Yes... I am sure that Pat and I also feel the same way. Sad that this thread turned out as it did where Pat and I are looked at as the bad guys for supporting our ladies and their decisions. Maybe some of the guys who responded this way control their wives too much and don't imagine that they would make a decision like this on their own? I don't know... but the whole thing turned out pretty sad, in my opinion.

Sam, just let the whole damn thing drop, will you. If your wife or any other woman has a concern or anything let THEM talk to the Chick Flick Committee and THEY can sort it out amongst themselves. They don't need you, me, or anyother male involved in this any further!

And if they do not choose to work this out amongst themselves then it is not OUR problem.

Now go get ready for the Bad Monkey tomorrow.

[Sam]

Actually, no John. I think that Pat and I were unfairly maligned in this thread and we did nothing more than try to show our support for our wives. If this is really about the ladies and not about a small group of ladies trying to control every aspect of the weekend, I would think our wives would count in that and should have had their desires respected a little more rather than they were treated. And this shouldn't have been painted as if Pat and I were trying to inject our desires into it as that was definitely not the case.

Simply put, there was at least one woman who was not really interested in getting better but was planning to attend this event to take part in her husband's passion and spend some time with him. She doesn't want to learn how to throw forehands or get better at putting. And seeing as how Saturday was set up as a casual day, she didn't think that anyone would mind if a couple of couples went off and did their own thing at the time the clinics were running. At this point, she is probably not going to bother showing up because it seems like the CF committee decided to come down a little heavy-handedly with their edict about the course being closed and those not wanting to participate in the clinics should not bother to show up. In other words, the committee's efforts to increase attendance will backfire in this case and will cost them an entry fee, probably. She will probably also never wish to participate in another CF event, as well. If that is no big deal and we should just stop talking about it because it is not the feel-good story people want to hear, fine. I don't think that that is the case, though, and think that the committee should rethink their approach.

Lastly, this is not the Chick Flick thread so I don't see how us discussing this should be a problem for anyone. Don't like what those of us who are disappointed have to say? Don't read the thread. Seems simple, really.

Since I feel responsible for this thread I just wanted to clear a few things up. It was me (Lesley) not my husband Pat that made the post, it was also me that wanted to play mixed doubles. I did not think that I needed to email anyone special and ask permission because I just wanted to play a casual round with some friends. I was not trying to set up some seperate event. It is not as if I am trying to take away anything from this event. When it first began I was so excited at the fact that there was an event for women where we could share in something that is so important to our significant others. I just feel that the perspecive of this weekend is being lost. I am coming to meet new people and play for fun. I am not really interested in improving my form. I know that the clinics are a valuable part of the weekend for people that are interested. I had no idea that starting my first thread on these boards looking for other couples wanting to play a "casual" round on the "casual" day would cause such an uproar. I do value the amount of work that has gone into such a great weekend, but come on this has become crazy. I am planning on attending the event, playing in the tournament and playing a casual round with friends on saturday I see no reason for anyone to be upset about that. If you want more women involved in disc golf make them feel welcome instead of feeling like they did something wrong.
:rolleyes2:

[Celeste]

Wow! Just checked back in here. Not that surprised, but wow!
Darrl- I hope you don't feel like any of the women are in any way upset with you or upset that the idea was thrown out there in the first place. Things tend to get blown way out of proportion here. I too really enjoy mixed doubles and can't wait to play the next event.
See you all at the Chick Flick! Hope everyone has fun, even if exactly what you are looking for isn't offered on this weekend.

[Pizzel]

Looks like another case of an idea and thread being "Samrolled".:bricks:

[Darr]

I think it's more of a case of being "ChickFlickBODrolled"
Honestly, if men were meant to be "outlawed" from casual day that should have been advertised in the flyer. I know most of you ladies take disc golf VERY seriously, that's not the case at all with my wife. If she's not interested in the clinics, that shouldn't be taken as a slight to the work going into them.

A few mixed couples on the hillside course (not playing for money) during the afternoon aren't going to ruin the event, and I think it's funny what a big deal has been made of this. I do apologize for this TERRIBLE TRAVESTY!!! :rolleyes2::rolleyes2::rolleyes2:

More passive-aggressive crap from Pinkal. YAY!

[Celeste]

Good lord fellas. Can this be over with already? I know how people like to draw this crap out but we get it. I know this will be twisted into me trying to control people and freedom of speech and all. I just think that everyone's side has been explained. This kind of stuff is a huge reason I make sure to never direct a new player to these boards for info. Too bad, cause there is a lot of good info here you just have to wade through so much negativity.
Be sure to put this on the list for the airing of grievences at Festivus.
Last word from me on the subject.

[Sam]

Cindy, it might have had something to do with the mixed message received from you and Carie and Bob. Carie's and Bob's posts indicated that those who were interested in a casual round during clinics would not be welcome at the course as it was closed. Your post seemed to contradict that which is why I asked for clarification that was never given. I appreciate you bumping it and bolding the parts that are applicable to the conversation.

Say... I would really like to be done with this conversation. If no one wants to respond to the thread just to tell us how the guys need to understand this, that or some other thing that is not relevant to the subject being discussed or how I am "samrolling" this thread, I believe it can be left alone to die. That would be swell. :cheers:
