2009 Disc Golf World Championships

[Flash]

I am going to Worlds for the first time in my career of playing disc golf. I have heard about the worlds event since the first year I started playing but could never seem to make it happen. There was always work, school or family that prevented me from going. I almost did not make it this year either but with constant reminders from Mr. Hagerty and the graces of my boss at work I was able to get the mandatory week of vacation switched from the week after the fourth to the last week in July for Worlds.

This year the worlds is in Kansas City and people that attended the 2003 Amateur World Championships still comment about worlds in Kansas City. I knew that if I was going to make it to a worlds event this is the one to make. The courses are what people are excited about and from the preview of the courses that I have seen I can see why, compared to the worlds courses used in the past few years, especially for the Amateurs, theses course will test not only accuracy but distance and course management.

The reason why I am writing is to know why more people are not going from Oregon. I would have expected more Pro players to make the journey given the location and courses being used for the competition.

I see that we have Six Pros from Oregon going: Dave Feldberg, Avery Jenkins, Ben Van Dusen, Kirk McAllister, Melody King and Jeff Hagerty.

On the Am side we have 5 going: Peter Belizi, Jason McGrew, Kevin Watson, Terry Schuler, and myself.

See you guys in KC!!!!

[OneDarkRebel]

I was planning on going via a sponsorship which fell through so I'll have to wait for next year...Darn! This was my first Worlds invite too! :(

[DexterHawk]

I just signed up today... I'll see you guys there

[SMOKIN JOE]

still not believing that i'm going, so maybe the last two weeks won't be such a wait, wish i could take more time off work so i could drive, planes make me very sick, just driving in the car can make me sick, so hopefully i wont need to recoupe time before golfing, the last time i flew to vegas i spent the first three days in my room because i had no equilibrium, great to see another person representing the northwest:rockon:

Time & Money! The two just don't always allign. I'd love to attend Worlds but probably not as a player. I'd love to represent the NW Disc Golfers as an Ambassadour maybe. Shake hands, kiss babies, hand out stickers, sign autographs, AND see some amazing golf. :cheers:

Is it due to your vestibular system in your ear?

It's going to be super sweet. We might not be many but we'll be manly and womanly (in Melody's case).

It might take both to tame the 11,000 foot monster called Blue Valley!

Here are some seriously cool and decent maps of the courses used at worlds this year.

http://kcfdc.org/forum/index.php?topic=3587.msg23144;boardseen#new

Second post from the top, just click the links for the courses you are playing. These are the same one up on the PDGA now but these are a little easier to get to and move around in.

Mike

[SMOKIN JOE]

well I am driving after all, yeah, hope to get there in time for the field events on sunday, worked a couple days off work with pay, yeah, as it stands it looks like I'm the only one from Oregon in my division, hope to represent you guys well, getting ready to go exept the dentist that is taking all my money, does anybody know where to see or have heard what there might be as swag we might recieve or have recieved in past years, hopefully I'll be watching someone from Oregon playing in the finals, just to place would be very rewarding to me, hope to see some of you there:cool2:

[Scott]

Holy cow! Blue Valley looks insane! My arm got tired just looking at the map.

[Mystjava]

I've already checked out Swope (in person!) -- it's a wowwie.. Almost as if you're riding a swing back and forth between the tee and basket.. Whoo!

[SMOKIN JOE]

by this time next week I will be making a game plan of a course that I have played while holding my mini challenge trophy( somebody has to win) with the proper refreshments included, are we there yet:rockon:

[GettinBetter]

How did you forget about Nate playing in worlds?

[kdub1981]

Hopefully the humidity isn't killer! I'm looking forward to it all the same though.

:laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:

Good Luck on THAT one......
1) Its SUMMER
2 Your going to Kansas City
3) Its ALWAYS Hot & Humid in Summer in Kansas City

You can BET on LOTS of bugs, Rain, Lightning, maybe even a delay or cancelled round due to EXTREME weather. :wink2:

I would suggest requesting a room that faces to the west, that way you can watch the "light show" as it moves closer to you. VERY impressive if you have never been to the mid-west. :jumpspin:

Good Luck to ALL Oregonians.....bring home some hardware.

:trophy::trophy::trophy::trophy::trophy::trophy:

[snap7times]

Ummm since we just had nationals in south illinois, the humidity was a huge factor right off the bat... Drank about 40 oz of water every 9 holes and still felt dehydrated and my urine was dark yellow the whole way, I even drank tons of water a week before to get into good hydration and it wasn't enough. The body takes up to 7 days to be hydrated and less than a day to get dehydrated... drink that water and be careful with the beer...

[SMOKIN JOE]

hopefully nothing will change to much as far as the forecasts are going, looks like mid to lower 80's for highs and low 70's for lows, some days have possible thunderstorms in them, very lucky to not have higher highs and lows, humidity will still be there I'm sure, I have already started drinking a little more water than I usually do. I drink a few glasses a day already so I'm hoping that will help me, the light bugs will make a good night light for anyone camping, just put a couple in a jar, they usually don't make it till morning so that may not be animal friendly, I'm getting so stoked, my wife has some things packed already, :chug:

[SMOKIN JOE]

if your going the pool assignments are up:yay:

if your going the pool assignments are up:yay:

Pro Side:
Pro Pools (http://www.pdga.com/tournament-results?TournID=8104)

Amateur Side
Amateur Pools (http://www.pdga.com/tournament-results?TournID=8105)

[Flash]

Interesting,

I downloaded the player lists and sorted the 4 advanced pools L, K ,M & N by rating and the top 4 Advanced Amateurs are all in Pool K. Coincidence or do you believe there is some prediction here as to who will win the event.

The pools are well divided and have equal skill levels across all pools so I am not worried about ratings being skewed but thought it interesting that the best are in the same pool. Rumor is that David Wiggins Jr will be our next champion but I am guessing the higher rated locals will not go down without a fight.

[snap7times]

4 oregon in same pool? special treatment requested? lol

[TreeLove]

Yes, you can request to be in a pool with your statemates, or whomever you like. There is a spot for it on the entry form, you fill in the names of others you would like to be pooled with. It's fun, you get to see more of friends both local and distant, and facilitates car-pooling: at least until the Great Shuffle! (Hint: make sure your friends also list you on their entry forms!)

Thanks for the info Gawain, unfortunately I registered well after Jason did but it all worked out.

I did request Jason McGrew as a travel mate as we are sharing a car but just thought it funny we all made the same pool out of 4 possible pools. I am glad we are all in the same pool as I have never met Kevin Watson and Peter is a cool dude and shoots some pretty hot rounds!

[snap7times]

I guess that makes it easier for us to track how y'all doing... 1st, from oregon, 2nd from oregon, 3rd from oregon... i wish... it could happen, MAKE IT HAPPEN! no pressure guys, have fun... ;)

[kdub1981]

I'll be around. I have a ton of family in the KC area so I plan to make those rounds and play a little disc golf at the same time. Looking forward to meeting up with my fellow Oregonians though.

I'm borrowing my cousins 1992 Toyota Camry with no A/C so that should be sweet.

Kevin Watson

[all2common]

Good luck out there Watson!

[SMOKIN JOE]

I will be heading out friday early afternoon, I plan on hitting I-84 about 3 o'clock, stops at pendleton, boise, ogden for the night, cheyenne, lincoln, then k.c. around midnight, I-84 to I-80 to highway 2 to I-29 , only four switches not bad for 1800 miles, anybody wanting to switch info in case of a problem or saftey in numbers just send me a messege :cheers:

Hey Guys,

I started a Blog under some intense suggestive prose from my family to document my adventure at worlds so if you are interested here is my blog

Flash's Worlds Adventure (http://2009amateurworlds.blogspot.com/)

I hope to provide multi-daily posts and updates. I will include as many pictures as I can to help those back home understand what disc golf is like in KC.

I fly out tonight at midnight with Jason McGrew and we should be playing sometime around 11 am on Friday. I think we will go play Shawnee Mission and then head up to WyCo disc golf course for their Friday league night, Fact has it that their Ace Pot is up to $1017.00 and they pay it all out for an ace.

Here are the maps of Shawnee (http://www.kcfdc.org/docs/Course_Maps/SMPoverhead%20copy.pdf) and WyCo (http://www.kcfdc.org/docs/Course_Maps/wycooverhead.pdf)

[LakeStevensBA]

Myself and Kevin Prosser will be in KC representing the Adv Masters from Washington. I'm flying out Sunday morning, 12 hours after our Aquafest Open is over.
http://aquafest.com/events/discgolf.asp

I am staying at the host hotel (Westin). I will be the guy at the bar in the evening trying to figure out why the 7 beers haven't rehydrated me.

Make sure you find someplace to stay in Ogden before you get there or at least be prepared to spend money on a named place. The worst motel I ever stayed at was there. It is a horrible place to stop and it is the only time I have gone to bed scared for my car and my safety. The shower was also too nasty to even think about stepping in. I really wished I would have stopped in SLC when I was on my way though.

[bvdisc]

I just finished man slamming Andy To the max-out in our hotel room. Nate an Kirk tapped out early. :wink2:

Good luck to you and all the Oregon dudes!

From Mike's blog:

...Jeff starts up the Bagerty Machine and cranks out some insane distance on this course...

Great stuff.

[SMOKIN JOE]

wow some of these courses are unreal, some are where you don't wont to be afterdark, didn't do to well in my field events, didn't get there till afternoon and the wind was not good , putting was hard, skills were hard, mini golf went well just to many o.b.'s, seen most the oregon boys to wish them luck, lightning is just awesome and the humidity is not that bad. I'll try to represent the mm1 boys the best I can:cool2:

[bvdisc]

Day 1 looks like it's going to be very wet. We're off to buy umbrellas.

[Sam]

Oh holy crap... How old is this Wiggins kid again? 15? And he threw 567 feet. No biggie... except that it looks like he threw farther than any other American there, Avery Jenkins included. He would have finished 3rd in the Open Men competition.

Oh... and he finished the putting competition with 225 points - 2nd only to Yeti Reading - beating Feldberg and some other pretty good putters.

Unreal... and there is only a RUMOR that this kid is going to win?! Foregone conclusion sounds like a more apt description.

At first it might be easy to conclude that the dude is just a long drive freak - but he's nearly a 1000 rated player (988)! The kid seems to have a pretty complete game. Incredible.

[Sam]

And how old is he?

[Scott]

And how old is he?

Looks like either 14 or 15. Wow.

[Sam]

Yeah... that's what I was thinking. I hate that guy. :laughing:

[Scott]

From his web site (http://davidwigginsjr.com/) - the dude is turned 14 in April.

[snap7times]

hehe, you think that's something. I met a Deaf disc golfer, he's an oral Deaf kid but we exposing him to the other Deaf disc golfers as much as we can... Anyways met him at Deaf nationals, apparently he a real good golfer for his age, check out Brock Dowell, he's like 10 or 11, he was hucking some nice long drives in the LD competition..

[zippyboy]

:puke:

Wow.

:headbang:

[Jet]

In the pro division there is a Legend golfer with a PDGA number of 9. :cool:

[DexterHawk]

Round one in the books... Avery shot a 53 on a 11,000 ft course (average hole length over 600ft)... He's an animal!

Didn't Nicco have a big lead after a few rounds last year? Good thing Avery has the mental game that Nicco lacks. Will be an interesting next few rounds.

[Scott]

From the PDGA Twitter feed:

"Avery Jenkins unofficial 1080 rated round at Blue Valley falls in the top 5 best ever rounds on a course in the 60-66 SSA range."

[Sam]

WOW!

[RonTheWhip]

GO Nate and Avery! Its Your Time!!!

[Brian]

Who is this 15 year old kid throwing like crazy and how do I find his website?

[Scott]

Who is this 15 year old kid throwing like crazy and how do I find his website?

David Wiggins, Jr. Just turned 14.

Here is is web site (http://davidwigginsjr.com/).

[Scott]

After two rounds, the kid is tied for first in his pool.

[snap7times]

Flash had a great 3rd round, made up alot of ground with a 970ish rated 3rd round, go Flash!
As for Wiggins Jr, the guy's been around for a while and is expected to do great things...

[all2common]

Maybe we should call him Ender.

Both Ulibarri and Doss are -7 after 8 holes... will they be around the -14 or -15 mark when the round is over? YIKES

Actually Cale stayed shot for shot with Avery, coming from 5th back to 2nd and the lead is 6 strokes. Nikko had the hottest round and is in 3rd now... Nate is tied for 11th! Heck Yeah! Break it out!

[all2common]

Hagerty breaks off a 1025 rated round...I knew he had it in him. (He must be putting with his feet closer together.)

[Sam]

I want to say it louder - it's what I do.

Oregon's Nate Sexton is currently sitting in 11th place - beating at least two mutli-yeared world champions.

Dude... I mean... DUDE... Keep doing what you're doing. :shooting:

:bowing:

And Mr. DexterHawk! A pro just a short couple of years (I remember playing against him in Intermediate! :waaah:) and sittin' top 50, tied with Schweberger. Very nice, very nice! :rockon:

McCallister and Van Deusen ready to make a run to bring up some more of that Oregon love!

Holy crap! Val has been chasing Des all tournament long. She was down by about five strokes in round three and finished strong to be only one stroke back going into round four. She dropped a stroke to Des early in the round but came back strong. Val is currently leading Des by FIVE throws with five holes left to play. :yay:

After a tough stretch on holes 7-10 (bogey, bogey, double bogey, bogey), Des has settled down and parred holes 11-15. Val gave up a bogey on 15 and is holding a four shot lead over Des.

Nate Sexton is currently in 8th place:bowing:!!! And Paul Wright, the Premier Washington Advanced Grandmaster is killing his field by 6 strokes:trophy:!!! Does anyone have Paul's number? Just PM me if you do.

[snap7times]

Nikko is making up ground big time... he got mad skills, just like we saw at the memorial, once he turns on the afterburners, ouch... come on avery and Nate!

["Over the Hill" Bob]

Hole 12, Avery picks up two strokes on Nikko, Feldberg falls into 4th place.

Avery -45
Nikko -37
Anthon -36
Feldberg -35

Yeah... let's hope he keeps a plant point behind his mini every time... :whistler:

["Over the Hill" Bob]

Hole 15 in the books, Anthon picks up another stroke on Avery, Nikko looses one and is tied with Feldberg for 3rd. Damn, this is taking a tole on my old heart. :shocked:

With one hole to go:

Jenkins...-44
Anthon...-40
Feldberg...-39
Nikko...-37

We got us a close one!

[snap7times]

Yeah... let's hope he keeps a plant point behind his mini every time... :whistler:

I don't get this one.. you referring to Greg Barsby? or there another story about Nikko?

And damnnnnn about Avery, a double bogey, ouchhhh... Anthon is an unexpected contender... Hope Sexton moved up a few slots...

[all2common]

How many rounds are left?

[essjay]

One more round before semis and finals

[snap7times]

Ahh i can't wait till ESPN sobers up and covers our major events... Hole 18 hasnt got uploaded, someone says there was a fight on the lead card?? a blue bird? ... see see... Avery vs Josh? LMAO...
:chug::posting:

[GettinBetter]

Fight???????? Please tell more!

GO NATE!!! Hope he had a good 5th round!!!

Anthon had a HOT round! Made up 7 Strokes!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Mystjava]

Ouch.. Avery's score dropped down compare to the other guys.. He's in close 2nd or 3rd along with David Feldberg...

Come on Val and Des.. keep up the spirited game!

[snap7times]

ok, guess bad joke on me with the beer drink then post about the fight but anyways... avery just choked on the last 2 holes, just needed to par par and hold a 6 stroke lead, but double bogey, bogey and now only leads by 3... Orum had like an -11 or so round, nuts.... It's going down to the wire...

[GettinBetter]

matt o. had an AWESOME round!

[Flatroc]

Dave's been hangin' around playing steady. I think he will make his move manana!

Paul Wright was my doubles partner at Dalaiwood two weeks ago, we were -11, great player. I lucked out in the draw. :) Good Job Papa And Paul. :)
West Sound Disc Golf is the way to go. :)

update for those who dont know flash is keeping a daily blog spot and is very enjoyable to read

[Scott]

Holy crap!

Anthon has birdied eight of his first nine holes. He is now -8 after 11 holes and is tied with Avery. Orum and Feldberg are tied for third.

[Scott]

Damn!

Anthon resumes his surge and takes the lead by one with three left to play.

C'mon Avery! :cheerleader:

[snap7times]

Avery redeems himself with a birdie 3 that he got a 6 on yesterday, makes one up on Josh.. .The borg is falling apart. 6 strokes behind orum after being tied after the 9th hole... yikes..

[Scott]

How many make the cut into the semis and then into the finals?

[Sam]

Do they play more today? Semis? Is there a schedule for when rounds are happening?

Where is Worlds next year? Why am I at work? Why 42?

I need answers, dammit!

["Over the Hill" Bob]

Hagerty in three way tie for 37, sitting at -1 after 6 rounds. :yay:

No, two.

Nate is sitting at 311. Fourth place is 309.

[killa]

That's a very interesting quote, Scott. Where'd you run across it? It's a bit loopy, and seems like it's probably based on some... questionable statistics... but I'm sure there is some truth the logic. Hey, at least someone in India with some clout is talking about curbing over-population, right??

And man, how excited is everyone that Nate Sexton is in a position to secure himself a final nine (read: top 4) showing at WORLDS if he can find enough strokes to move up two spots in the semis!!! This is some good shit, right here! Stay tuned, and follow the action live tomorrow to the extent you can -- it's really fun! Whatever happens, I'm sure nate will be receiving a very warm welcome home, and many slaps on the back at Calapooia next weekend... that is, if he doesn't decide to take a month off to recover from putting it all out there at worlds!

[killa]

I just happened to notice: Nate was 2 strokes off of Dave's first round, then exactly 1 off every round after that, until today's 1051 round gained him 5 strokes on the Berg-man.

also, 3 OR golfers in the top 6??!! :shocked: No other state is representing anywhere close to that well! :trophy: ... well, I guess who else really could besides CA? WEST COAST!

[chanman]

NATE IS IN 6TH PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aND pAUL HAS THE LEAD BY 8 STROKES IN HIS DIVISION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

[NWDiscer]

Come on Kenny catch Nikko and put a whoopin on his azz again :shooting: :shooting:

I cannot verify this quote or vouch for its authenticity in any way. I just thought it was pretty damn funny. I lifted it off of the Daily Doonsbury (http://www.doonesbury.com/strip/dailydose/index.html) site on Slate.com.

Check out the Tourney this kid is having...

Oscar Stenfelt #8658
45 1031
51 998
59 944
42 1044
48 983
51 1000

-34 296

I should probably mention he is playing in the
Under 16 Division &
has a player rating of 1000!
He is obviously crushing his division...
But would be leading Advanced by 9 strokes.
Scary!

[Tim]

Yeah, looks like the kid is pretty much a Swedish version of Wiggins Jr. I foresee some good rivalry in years to come.

Check out his drive at the 2:53 mark in this vid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DFP44Eogio) (pretty cool video as it is anyway.)

Yea he's good AND from Sweden....BUT you cant really compare to Adv Men due to they are playing VERY different courses.
Water Works is the ONLY course that they both play.

But still very impressive... :whistler:

This is why we need to find a crew that will use three cameras on each hole. The editing then becomes the key. I think Crider is close to being able to put out some of the best DG video there is right now. He just needs a couple more cameras and good cameramen/women.

Yeah, yeah...I knew someone was going to call me on this.
What you can compare is that he has three rounds
that have been rated +1000
while the leaders (top 4) in AM1 have 4 rounds
COMBINED in the +1000's

Just saying...

[GettinBetter]

Go nate sexton ! ! !

No longer just a name the northwest knows ! ! ! !

Go lead card ! ! !

[ChUcK]

I feel it is impossible to overstate the support for Nate. I wish I was there caddying for someone on his card so I could watch the smack get laid down.

Has anyone heard about Nate's semis round, and the rest of his card?

edit: never mind, the PDGA page is finally unscrewing itself.

[essjay]

I think that you're talking about Brad Hammock. A real piece of work, that guy.

[snap7times]

so what is the story on that guy? i keep watching the video so funny..

[Nate Sexton]

Hey Everyone, just got back last night and I want to say thank you to everyone for the support and the messages of encouragement throughout the Worlds. It was great to have so many behind me back home. I still can't really believe I ended up 5th, but now I feel like with practice I could someday win the Worlds. I've had alot of people tell me I could do something like this for a long time, and don't know if I really believed it. Now that it is in the books I can't thank the people who have been believing in me from the beginning enough. Certainly my proudest moment in disc golf, can't wait to see everybody this weekend.

P.S. - I posted a cool Video Kirk shot during the Semifinals to youtube, check it out if you haven't already. It is my group on hole #8.

That and the fact that you crushed your rating and shot 1034 rated golf might have contributed. So Nate is this finish better than the 5th place finish at the 2008 Japan Open?

[Nate Sexton]

Yeah this 5th is way better, the field is much stronger at the Worlds and nobody has the excuse that I beat them because they were using 150g discs. I think once the 3rd round gets rated correctly (the shuffle messed it up) and the semis are included I will have a 1040 average for the 7 rounds at Worlds, 1020's here I come!

[snap7times]

so that's what good putting looks like... heh.. and ummm oh yeah i understood everything avery said, just read the back of his head the whole time... pfllttt... Anyways Look forward to seeing y'all at euguene celebration and hope not everyone is shooting way above their rating ;)
Sexton is on da map now, no denying that... USDGC??

Sorry about the quality it was shot with a hand held point and shoot camera. I just wanted to show that the gallery was large and very involved in the feel of the event. This was the final hole of the regular 9 holes where Avery and Josh both parred and went to sudden death.
