The First Hobbit Huk (10/11/08)

[JMan]

One disc to rule them all ...
If you haven't heard I, and lots of helper Hobbits, are hosting

The First Annual Hobbit Huk
Saturday the 11th of October
At Horning's Hideout
Check in at 8:30 and T right away

the format is as follows:
Choose just one disc from your bag and then take one shot at every basket at Horning's, two quick rounds, 36 shots.
Metal hit = 1 point
Ace it = 2 points
highest score wins.

But this is not all! There will be a distance, putting, and touch event; as well as some old school lids for TRC and MTA. I'll even have the makings of a DDC if folks care to try their hand at that, and last but not least I'll bring along the old IFA throwers proficancy manual if you'd care to see how you stack up compared to the throwers of the 70s.

This is going to be a fun day of mixed disc sports, don't miss out.
And best of all there is NO REGISTRATION FEE! All you have to pay for this day of Hobbit Hukin is the $3.00 (per person) day fee for Hornings. We would also ask that you bring a disc collecting dust for the gift table, as this is a Hobbit celebration and everyone gets presents.

I hope you can come out, and yes, style points for Hobbit costuming.

[Sam]

J, thank you for doing this. I am stoked that after all that happened that you are not shying away from running fun disc events.

In fact, may this be the first of many. :cheers:

[Ol' Bob]

A little acronym mercy for us old relative newbies with short term memory issues.

Get Poor Charlie off the MTA.

[Adam Schneider]

TRC = Throw, Run, and Catch.

MTA = Maximum Time Aloft.

I don't know DDC.

Double Disc Court

[JMan]

And I almost forgot, Samwise Gibson will be putting together a round of random doubles (full bag) in the afternoon; five dollar buy-in. And if you over imbibe, as hobbits tend to do, you can camp that night (Hornings camping fee of course).

This is going to be a wonderful day of mixed disc sports you, won't want to miss it. And for those of you wondering, yes, there is a great chance of a glo round Friday night for those of you camping.

See you at The Ard-galen (aka Horning's Hideout)

[shonfry]

I'm really looking forward to this event:rockon: :rockon:

J-Man, maybe we should see if people want to do a potluck lunch.....or maybe a chili cookoff:drool:

[Trozzle!!!]

If I have the means to do it, I will cook up some of my Fajitas for lunch. your ass will be hating you the next day, but they are very tastey :drool:

also I heard there are some sweet ass dyed discs up for grabs :whistler:

[Sam]

BUMP

J, what will the course be like? The same course that has been there all along or will the new dinker course be ready by Saturday?

Should we put a time on when the doubles should start? 2pm? 3pm?

[Scott]

Bob H. Estimated that the second course won't be ready until the end of the month.

If the regular course is used, will some of the holes be shortened? Throwing for an ace on holes 13, 18, and a few others doesn't make a lot of sense for most of us...

[Sam]

Um... on 13 and 18, I think you could be a little more liberal and include all of us. We could totally shorten those holes, though...

[JMan]

Almost here:yay:
We'll be on the original course, and yes we'll be adjusting the Ts on 2, 9, 13, 17, and 18; let's face it, we want to hear those baskets ringing out!! The distance T will be on the 13/18 hill shooting toward the small pond and the putting and touch events will be...well I'll scout out something nice on Friday afternoon when I'm out there, most likely by the first T and the barn.

Registration and T-offs begin at 8:30 and will run until 10 (show up with your group, check in, get your card and head out) then take a go at the other events and bring your lunch as awards should happen around noon. Then we should be able to get the dubs going around 2 Sam. This is going to be fun... Remember that costumes are encouraged, and I've got a special present for the best dressed Hobbit. Pass the word, you don't want to miss this.

[Trozzle!!!]

PSSSSSt J-Man, the first disc is completely done :biggrin2:

The rest will be finished in the next couple days

[Micah]

Sounds like fun I plan on heading in from newberg, anybody want to tag along.

[Trozzle!!!]

3 of the discs are complete :biggrin2:

[larsonjeff]

what time are people gonna show up? Anyone wanna see the Breeze in action :dancing:

[Pizzel]

what time are people gonna show up? Anyone wanna see the Breeze in action :dancing:I plan on getting out to Hornings around 9am. I will bring a couple extra XDs if you would like to borrow a proper disc for the tourney!

[Sam]

Hmmmm.... I believe it will be a flat Roc for me. Or maybe a KC Pro. Haven't completely decided yet.

[Scott]

Would love to make it, but it will be a day-of decision. The morning is out, but Matthew and I may come for doubles in the afternoon.

[smobro]

Hmmmm.... I believe it will be a flat Roc for me. Or maybe a KC Pro. Haven't completely decided yet.

I second that. Which one...., which one...., or should I bring the.............COBRA? Or wait.....maybe the....... FRICK! eeeny, meeny.......Darn I wish Innova did an Ace Race.

[JMan]

Well this Hobbit will be Hukking a Pro D Buzzz, in my kilt of course:biggrin2:

[Bluedisc]

what time are people gonna show up? Anyone wanna see the Breeze in action :dancing:

I would be honored to witness a Breeze versus XD showdown...9am it is--if MY one disc is worthy such supreme company. :bowing: Anyone want to guess what my choice would be? :whistler:

[Pizzel]

I would be honored to witness a Breeze versus XD showdown...9am it is--if MY one disc is worthy such supreme company. :bowing: Anyone want to guess what my choice would be? :whistler:A red 150 Panther?

[Darr]

I would be honored to witness a Breeze versus XD showdown...9am it is--if MY one disc is worthy such supreme company. :bowing: Anyone want to guess what my choice would be? :whistler:

Let's make it a Breeze vs XD vs ROC vs (McGrewzle's)Cheetah!
that's a foursome. :D:D

[Sam]

I want in on this group...

[Bluedisc]

A red 150 Panther?
:nono::rolleyes2:
Right, goof ball.

[larsonjeff]

I'll go for 9am sat... unless something else comes up.. I'll be there then.

[Darr]

I want in on this group...

Fivesome! Sam can you pick me up?

[KenGilmore]

Since there is only one shot per hole, you could have a six-some and wouldn't know the difference! (hint, hint) :whistler:

[Sam]

Sure, Pat. Call me Friday night.

[Magilla]

Well this Hobbit will be ......, in my kilt of course:biggrin2:

Ive never heard of a hobbit in a Kilt before....Dwarf maybe...but not one of the Shire.

:biggrin2:

[Sam]

Nerd alert! Nerd alert! Nerd alert!

[Pizzel]

Hey J.......what happens if you loose your disc during the round?

[Adam Schneider]

Nerd alert! Nerd alert! Nerd alert!
Oh, that ship sailed when this event was first proposed...

[Magilla]

Nerd alert! Nerd alert! Nerd alert!

:nono:

Beware fair dwellers of Ard-galen. He who is known as Samwise Gibson of Mirkwood..his kindred are those particular to trolls and wolves....and his oath is to Minas Morgol alone.

Fanghorn watches with much interest..........:laughing:

:nahnah:

[Brody Cannon]

Oh, that ship sailed when this event was first proposed...

LOL :bowing::laughing:

[zippyboy]

I second that. Which one...., which one...., or should I bring the.............COBRA? Or wait.....maybe the....... FRICK! eeeny, meeny.......Darn I wish Innova did an Ace Race.

If they did, then we'd have to worry about which color of disc we got, though. :slapface:

[Darr]

Since there is only one shot per hole, you could have a six-some and wouldn't know the difference! (hint, hint) :whistler:
So the six-some makes: Breeze vs XD vs Cheetah (Right?) vs 3 ROCS!
Money!!!! :D
:rockon::rockon::rockon::rockon::rockon::rockon:

[Sam]

If they did, then we'd have to worry about which color of disc we got, though. :slapface:
Come now... do you think that Discraft plastic would be any different? That different? I don't.

[larsonjeff]

Since there is only one shot per hole, you could have a six-some and wouldn't know the difference! (hint, hint) :whistler:

totally.. I'm cool with 6.. I'll be there by 9am.

[zippyboy]

Come now... do you think that Discraft plastic would be any different? That different? I don't.

Please to be seeing the discussion regarding disc color (in the thread of the same name - ON THIS VERY FORUM). To that end, I stand by my previous comment. :biggrin2:

p.s. Dodgers suck.

[Trozzle!!!]

here is a blurry sneak peak at the disc for winning the main 1 disc event

Please to be seeing the discussion regarding disc color (in the thread of the same name - ON THIS VERY FORUM). To that end, I stand by my previous comment. :biggrin2:

Hmmm... I'll have to get back to you...

p.s. Dodgers suck.

Pffft... better than your... uh... stupid team... whoever they are. :cheerleader:

[Scott]

Pffft... better than your... uh... stupid team... whoever they are. :cheerleader:

His team is the Heartless Heathers. Duh.

And they'd kick the Dodgers ASS. :laughing:

[zippyboy]

His team is the Heartless Heathers. Duh.

And they'd kick the Dodgers ASS. :laughing:


Ding, ding, ding, ding!!! Winner! Scott Hill! Don Pardo, tell them what he's won...

Yes, the Heathers would in fact kick the Dodgers assess... Mmm. Heartless Heathers... :drool:

Now, back on topic.

Will the doubles be random, or BYOP style? My beloved will be making the trip down with me for the single disc event, but I'm not sure how she'd feel about throwing in the doubles if it is a random draw. Just curious. Can't wait to throw Hornings this weekend. My weapon of choice is down to an Avenger SS, an FLX Buzzz, or the new Ace Race disc I got in the mail - which I have yet to throw...

[JMan]

Doubles will be random draw but she should play, hey I'll be happy to throw with whoever I get. Pro D Buzzz for me for the one disc, bring it.

[Tbiz]

Just wondering if it's too late to hop on. I'd like to join, but haven't pre-registered. Are you doing same-day registration?
By the way, how many people are you expecting?

Thanks,
Tony

Just show up and sign up and then have a great time. There was no pre-registration for this event. :cheers:

I hope everyone has a blast. :cheerleader: Unfortunately I am heading up to WA this weekend and will not be able to attebd. :waaah:

However maybe I will find a short course up north and run my own Lost Hobbit Huk.

Watch out for Golem out there in them thar woods.

:cool:

[Brody Cannon]

If I can make it, I'm trying to decide if I'm on team breeze or team buzzz. It depends on the hole lengths. Right now I'm thinking breeze unless some of the holes are over 300 ft.

[Sam]

I might drop out of this sixsome if Jamie comes. Her ankle is still bothering her but this sounds like a really fun day. Toby wants to dress up as a Hobbit and play doubles.
:cheers:

[Micah]

My money is on a roc to win this event, followed closely by a breeze, personally I would be surprised to see an xd with any points at all I believe they are actually metal repellent.

[Pizzel]

[Micah]

nice vocab, we'll see come saturday

[jevon]

I'm bummed that I have to miss this. We had to walk away from the house we were going to buy and now it's back to square one. Hit a tree for me while I'm house hunting.

By all means come, there is no pre-reg; this is a casual let's have fun day, the only fee is the Hornings day fee $3.oo. Custom dyed discs for event winners and I'm hoping everybody brings some disc or two they aren't throwing so everybody leaves with a disc.

[Sam]

Your post is risible!

I was wrong...

NERD ALERT CHAMPION! :trophy:

[Pizzel]

totally.. I'm cool with 6.. I'll be there by 9am.I am thinking about bumping my arrival time back a bit due to the cold weather expected this evening. How does the group feel about a 9:30am tee time?

[Adam Schneider]

I was wrong...

NERD ALERT CHAMPION! :trophy:
WHOA. :nono: Do not conflate us vocabulary nerds with people who want to dress up like elves. :jumpspin:

[Sam]

Odd. Seeing it from my perspective, I don't see much of a difference. :D

[Jet]

WHOA. :nono: Do not conflate us vocabulary nerds with people who want to dress up like elves. :jumpspin:
Exactly. Etymology is not synonymous with short woodland critters. :laughing:

[Bluedisc]

I think Jeff had the biggest time constraints...I'm flexible, and in it for the day for doubles--9 or 9:30 works for me.:dancing:

[Sam]

Oddly... I found a study and a chart...

http://www.nwdiscgolfnews.com/images/nerd_chart.gif

[Adam Schneider]

This may be the only time I ever say this, especially in an election season, but color me red. :biggrin2:

[larsonjeff]

9:30 tee time is OK by me... should work out OK. I think it will play pretty quickly.

[Ol' Bob]

Hobbitual nerds.

[Jet]

This may be the only time I ever say this, especially in an election season, but color me red. :biggrin2:
On the above chart, I'm all red.

[KenGilmore]

Unfortunately, I can't make it tomorrow. For fear of actually having to play disc golf without injury, I wrecked my body playing baseball this week. :pullhair:

[Sam]

Hmmmm.... Jamie and I will be ready to tee off with the sixsome whenever it launches... or...

[JMan]

Easy, we Tolkienphiles consider ourselves history and language mined...wait did I just call myself a geek? Crap! Oh well, kena le yal i Ard-galen.

Oh Ken, come on out for the putting contest at least, don't put any other discs in your car, just a putter.

[Magilla]

Unfortunately, I can't make it tomorrow. For fear of actually having to play disc golf without injury, I wrecked my body playing baseball this week. :pullhair:

I hear ya there....:blush: Last week I found out that at 43, breaking up a double play hurts a bit more than it used too.:slapface:
It worked, but having 200+lbs land on top of you :bricks: hurts.
:blush:

:rockon:

[zippyboy]

I hope everybody had a blast out there today. I so regret not being able to go. Sometimes other things have to take precedence over disc golf - though I hate when it happens... :rolleyes2:

[Jet]

Had fun today! Thanks J-man.

[Trozzle!!!]

Here they are. The trophys for the Hobbit Huck. Not my greatest work, but they got great reviews at the event:

[larsonjeff]

Where did I finish? I had to run after putting and touch shots... what were the best scores for the events?

Thanks for doin this J-man... great time!

[Trozzle!!!]

I dont know for sure, but I think you tied for the win in one of the contests, or possibly tied for the win in the main event? Im not sure though, I could be wrong. If you did tie for a win, i think you lost the trophy because you left. J Man can give a better answer on that, but I thought I heard your name during the awards part.

cool.. I'll check back later.. I was just excited to get the ace on 13!

[Trozzle!!!]

If you tied for a win for the main event and didnt get a disc, I will gladly dye you one of the ring discs as well if J-Man has another one to throw in for it.

[larsonjeff]

That wouldn't be necessary.. thanks though, they do look nice.. so much work to make I'm sure! I'm just glad the event was run, and I was able to come play... and it didn't rain!

[JMan]

Jeff, you and Ryan tied with an Ace a piece. And Troy I do have another disc, so that would be great if you'd do one for Jeff.

J. Brill won the Putting hitting 16 of 18
W. Odom won distance with 492'
And S. Bass (?) won touch with 13 points.

The weather really helped out and it was nice to have a day where choosing bold lines and getting close were rewarded with oohs and ahs. J. Pink and his partner won the afternoon dubs with a -12, but I don't know what the cash pay out was. The gift table filled and emptied with folks giving discs they weren't using and taking either a back up to a mold they like or a disc they wanted to try out. Bob Horning spent the day with us on the course, his first day off since like May; thanks so much Bob! For all the maintenance and upgrades. Mark your calendars for this weekend next year and we'll do it again, but then we'll have a larger set of holes to choose from. And if you all are interested I'll set up a T shirt order enough ahead of time we can have them for the day of, (you just pay the cost of a shirt if you want one). Thanks to everyone who came out, and don't forget Bob has year end passes for $15, and a 2009 pass is $60 (what a deal, that works out to just 5 bucks a month) for what will soon be 54 holes, oh yea.
Thanks again Bob!! :bowing:

[Trozzle!!!]

just let me know if you want me to make that other disc for Jeff, since he did tie for first. I will gladly dye him a "One disc to win it all" disc too :trophy:

[JMan]

Say the word Jeff and it's yours, or you could challenge Ryan for it :wink2:

[Trozzle!!!]

Ryan said his is up on his wall already, might be hard to get him to take it off for a challenge.

[brillo]

Ben Steele won the touch contest.

[larsonjeff]

I was 16/18 on the putting too... I guess that will teach me to leave early.. tie for first in 2 events... but no glory cause I had to leave... j/k.. it's all good.

Happy Birthday J-man!

[JMan]

And it was great to have you come too Jeff. Next time I'll leave instructions for folks to play off any ties. Thanks again to all who made it!
