Couples tournament anyone?

[Brian]

OK, here is the plan so far. I have it set for September 5th, however I would rather do it on August 15th. The only drawback to that date is it is over the Discraft Ace race over at Glockwood park. So what i need is for people to let me know if they think the 15th or the 5th would work. I know some people can't make it on the 5th and we very much would like to see them there. So I vote for the 15th since I am not going to the ace race anyhow.

The price will be $10 for a couple and I will buy a LOT of food and the $10 will pay for it. My sister-in-law is Korean and she will cook us up some of the best Korean BBQ you have ever had. I will also make my famous feta burgers, so on and so forth. The round will start at 9am and right after we will hang and eat and after lunch, whoever wants to go out and shoot another round can do so. Over the Hill Bob is going to help figure out the contest part of it and I can do the BBQ since I am pretty good at that. Bob's idea is to have prizes but not a cash/gift certificate thing because we will spend the money on good food for everyone at the BBQ. I think he is right as the majority of us have no chance against the Gibsons LOL

Please let me know which date you can most easily make it to and we can plan it according to when people can make it. This will be a fun time :)

Below is my unmodified original post .. disregard it.










I was thinking of organizing a couples tournament. $5 per couple and depending on how many enter we could pay up to 3 places. Payment would be in the form of a gift certificate to a nice restaurant for 2.

Format would be alternate drives but best lie after that. So both parties are involved in the end score. If you have another idea on how we could format it let me know.

Location I was thinking if we were hardcore we could do Pier, but since my wife doesn't play maybe other wives don't play much either so they might want to do a Vance sized course. But if we do Vance then many serious golfers won't come because it is small. So let's come up with some ideas. We don't need to rent the park out or anything. We can just all show up and start shooting.

If you know of couples who don't frequent the boards here please ask if they would want to participate. it would have to be a weekend day of course.

Just a suggestion Timber park is a good size course but also allows the ladies to get into the action or you could even look into Dabney either one would be nice. I also might suggest that if you do use a vance size course make the men play with a putter or mid that would make it more interesting.

ahh yes, all good ideas.

Also guys it is a good opportunity for a date. nothing to say you have to be a thing yet. if you want to get to know a girl just tell them you need a partner for a tournament and then maybe you will also get a few practice sessions with them. Would be fun :)

I hosted a couples day at Timber in February with picnic lunch. It was a lot of fun and Timber is pretty forgiving of newer players.

[Brian]

Yeah Dabney has that picnic area right by the course too. That would be nice .. but the cliff on the back 9 might not be so good for players like my wife, but we can't let lost discs stop us!

[Scott]

but we can't let lost discs stop us!
Easy for you to say. How many do you have, 1000? :laughing:

[Brian]

My wife throws one disc and she has never lost it then again it's hard to lose one when it is only 150 feet in front of you also just remember the disc isn't lost if you can find it almost like an easter egg hunt same bright colors.:angel:

[LegoRules]

Great idea Brian the McMahan's would be up for this. :yay: We attended the Valintine's couple day at Timber that Bob was speaking of, and I agree Timber would be a good location.

Cindy :)

[Brian]

ok, well let's plan it then. Where is that tournament calendar again?

[Susie Sunshine]

Count The Wilberscheids in too! And the Calendar is at the top of these here message boards. :)

[Ms Thing]

We would be interested as well. It all depends on the date and place.

I have bad memories of Timber, well actually the only thing I can remember is that big huge long hole with the power pole. Leverich is also a good place, espcially if you can get the picnic area right next to the playground.

[Brian]

OK looks like September 5th at 9am at Timber and a BBQ afterwards!

Cost $5-$10 per couple depending how many we get. First place gift certificate should be at least $60-$70 for a nice restaurant, depending what you think nice is. But $25/plate and drinks ..
at $5 per couple we would need 14 couples just to do 1st place. Either way it would be fun and the BBQ afterwards will be awesome! BYOM/BYOB.

now how do we get this up on the calendar?

I need RSVP's also please

[Harpua_OR]

Timber is great. Abell party of 2.

[LegoRules]

Bummer McMahan's can't make it we are out of town that weekend :waaah: Maybe next time.

Brian, given this format we just as well buy Gibsons dinner.:whistler: I believe we could attract as many as 10-15 couples. How about $10 per couple and the money purchases food for the bbq? Early September we would still have plenty of daylight to meet and start play around 9:00, break for lunch, and get an afternoon round in. Play morning round with spouse and do a random draw in the afternoon. People could donate CTP's, and/or we could solicit donations from businesses.

I'd be happy to help out with the planning. (I was going to do it eventually anyway) "Over the Hill" Bob and Motherhucker will be there.

I agree, $10 a couple and donated prizes seems about right. But I also think the format needs to be a little more fair than just 'couple with lowest score'. CTPs would be better. When we did the Valentine's couples event, we had a women's CTP, as well as a men's. A washington/oregon (like at the Bad Monkey) might be a good choice too.

And none of the ladies went away empty handed, because each of us got a rose!

[Brian]

OTHB I would be happy to do a dual planning thing. I have never done a tournament of sorts. Although this will be more of a fun get together/BBQ with some prizes. I think your format would be lots of fun.

[Sam]

Brian, given this format we just as well buy Gibsons dinner.:whistler:

HA! He's seen my wife play! :laughing:

Not even sure we could make this but there are lots and lots of good couples out there. :cheers:

[smobro]

the Smo's are in> we have no opinion at all about the format or the course. just like to hang with the homies any chance we can. We will bring Booze.

[TYVEK]

This sounds like a lot of fun!! Becca and I would love to play in something like this, but unfortunately we live up in Olympia WA. :(

[zippyboy]

I would hope that Brian wouldn't hold that against the two of you...

["Over the Hill" Bob]

If we don't start till 9:00 that give you plenty of time to make the drive. We'd love to have you.

Bob

Yeah we sure would. It will be a fun day of BBQ and disc golf. Can't ask for more than that.

[ptld2001]

BBQ and disc golf sounds like fun. We're interested, depending on the date (summer's always pretty busy). We're real beginners, but it would be fun to see how some of the experts play, and maybe pick up a few tips.

[Sam]

Pretty sure we'll want in on this. We do love us some good BBQ... :drool:

The date is Sept 5th 9AM at Timber park. Yes, I realize it is Labor Day weekend, but it was the only saturday without a major tournament. I could have done it on the 15th of August but the Discraft Ace race was that weekend and not sure if some of the people would be torn between the 2.

[Sam]

There's an Ace Race happening this year? Please tell me it is at Crackwood... er... Rockwood. :whistler:

August 15th would have worked for us. Are you sure you don't want to change it? :wink2:

Cindy :)

[Brian]

We can change it, if the people coming to this will not miss out on the Ace race then we can change it to August 15th easily. i would rather do it on the 15th anyhow.

And yes Sam it is at Glockwood park

[Darr]

Brian, given this format we just as well buy Gibsons dinner.:whistler:
My wife and I should be able to make this one. Please engrave the name DARR on the :trophy:

Not sure the Gorman's will make this one. Will most likely be in the Wallowas,

When people come over and ask us what Darr means, think of the stories we will make up to amuse them. :laughing:

Lundy makes this drive many times a month. He could give you directions even.

[Brian]

*IMPORTANT* I modified the original post to indicate the current plans. However I need you to read it and let me know what would work best for you. We have a couple options.

I'll still help with the planning of this but if the date changes to the 15th of August I won't be able to make as I will be at Whistlers for the Umpqua Valley Championships.

Bob

[Ms Thing]

We are completely out for the 15th (unless Zippyboy finds a girlfriend to take) and a maybe for the 5th.

[Sam]

Let's NOT change the date. I am thinking about Whistler's myself. :)

[Brian]

Ouch .. ok. We will keep the date the same and run with it!

["Over the Hill" Bob]

Way to kiss up to Sam, Brian. ;) Sounds good though! :cheers:

I was more concerned with you hehe
If you were going to help plan it I would love to see you actually attend too. I'd like ot be able to accommodate everyone, but it just isn't possible unfortunately. So we will just have to fix it on the 5th.

[jevon]

Hey Brian, while you're at it why don't you plan another Pier after dark...:kissflowers:

I appreciate that Brian, but it sounds much cooler to say you are sucking up to Sam. :biggrin2: It really is impossible to fit an event into everyones schedule hard as we may try. The 5th for a hoot of a time.:yay:

So what's the deal with this? Dates, time? Is it on?

[Brian]

Yes, Sept 5th which is a Saturday. Starting at 9AM at Timber. I need to collect the $10 up front if I can because it goes to the BBQ food and I am bringing that. So sometime in August I need to start registration. Bob said he will run the tournament part and I will do the BBQ part. We will try to get some prize packs for winners and so forth too.

[Kevin Madrid]

Excellent...You can count the Madrid's in. :cheers:

[Brian]

Excellent...You can count the Madrid's in. :cheers:

WOOT!

[Brian]

ok the time is nigh, if you want to do this let's send in those registrations. The post is in the events section of this forum http://www.nwdiscgolfnews.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2044http://www.nwdiscgolfnews.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2044

I also need a couple volunteers to help man the picnic tables while we golf. We need to hold them before others come and take them so we have to put our stuff there.

Register and also let me know if you can volunteer please.
