[Nathan]

Yes! I love this tournament. Its great to have something during the winter to play competively in. Thanks for running it in advance. You can defenity count me in.

[mazza]

sweet mike count me in...worse case i'll help again

[TYVEK]

how much does it cost? and how much does the the "cash cow" cost? thanks.

[JR Stengele]

Do they do player packs or does it all go to payouts?

[Rideout]

There will be players packs for all ams on Saturday. No players packs on Sunday.

Entry fees will be officially posted when registration opens.

Mike

[Ode]

looking foreward to playing this event again, will you be playing your challenge layout again or the SE/NW?

[Rideout]

Sorry for the late response; I’ve been out of town.

The plan right now is to play the northwest and southeast for the Chilly Smack on Saturday. I had to turn people away last year using only one course, so this year we will see how many people we get with two courses.

Phantom Dubs on Sunday will use the challenge course we used last year. This limits the amount of players to one course, but it didn’t fill last year. One of the coolest things about the doubles last year (since people were already in town for the Chilly Smack) was watching teams from Canada, Oregon, and Washington compete. Normally doubles is so casual that I don’t get to see such a regional variety of competition. I am hoping to get the same effect this year.

Mike

[REDFIVE]

When do you expect online registration to begin, if at all? Can we buy into the cash cow the day of?

[sillybizz]

I'm also wondering when online registration is going to start as well. ?????

BUMP!

[Rideout]

Sorry for the late reply. I’ve had a rather unpleasant time with my sadistic dentist this week. Me being doped up on pain killers right now is going to keep this reply short with much more to follow next week.

Online registration should be open by Friday the 13th. I will be sure to post here when it opens.

You may sign up for the Cash Cow up until the start of the first round. Once you sign up for the Cash Cow, there are no refunds. I will refund an entry fee, but I will not refund the Cash Cow. The Cash Cow is a side bet available to any player in a pro division. The Cash Cow forms a single pot for all pro divisions, meaning that a pro master player and a pro open player are competing against each other in this side bet. Of course, they will be playing the same course at the same time in order to make this fair.

All ams will be getting a glass mini in their players pack. Little hand-blown glass basket trophies will be awarded to first place in pro open, pro women, and pro masters.

Things are moving forward as planned. We will have more delicious chili this year with some of my sister’s fabulous cornbread.

Will extra minis be available?

[Yardbird]

For the right price, you can buy one of the glass minis from an Am. Good luck on that. All the glass minis that I have seen are pretty sweet.

[Rideout]

They are pretty sweet.

Chris, I have your name at the top of the list to buy an extra mini (if there are any).

Online registration will be up this week.

[Rideout]

Online registration is now open on the PDGA websit.

Mike

[Rideout]

Last year Mike Cain won the Chilly Smack Challenge and Chris Waugh came in 2nd. The next day at Phantom Dubs, they won as a team. That is sweet. Here’s the deal – if this is repeated (by anybody, not just Mike and Chris), Challenge Disc Golf will kick down an extra $100 to each player. I don’t care if the players that come in 1st and 2nd on Saturday ditch their current partners in order to partner up themselves and try to win the extra cash. If the players that come in 1st and 2nd are partners the next day and win, they will each receive an extra $100 on top of their payout. This applies to the Pro Open division only.

I will start the Chilly Smack Challenge registration list this weekend on the PDGA site.

Phantom dubs reg list

Chris Waugh and Mike Cain (returning champions)
Chandler Fry and Kyle Crabtree
Coury Coats and John Ollis

[GettinBetter]

Registration is in the mail!

[Toby Puttzinski]

I'm predicting a Fry/Crabtree sweep for the bonus bucks. I'm crop-dusting just thinking about this event. Man, that last one was ripe!

[REDFIVE]

looking forward to this one again.

[RonTheWhip]

I'm predicting a Fry/Crabtree sweep for the bonus bucks. I'm crop-dusting just thinking about this event. Man, that last one was ripe!

I disagree.

I predict a Sexton/Arlyn sweep!

Can't wait! Thanks Mike for making it happen :)

[Toby Puttzinski]

If I had known that team "Sex-Whip" was going to be in attendance, I might take back that statement...
Here's my revised prediction... a Washington player pulls out the win on Saturday, but team Sex-Whip edges out Red 5 and Crabfry on Sunday, and there will be NO 360 Aces.

[REDFIVE]

Green light biatches!

[Rideout]

For Saturdays Chilly Smack Challenge, there is only one player (Nate Sexton) that has stepped-up to the Cash Cow side bet.

Here is an updated Phantom Dubs list with some outstanding pro competition.


Pro Men

Chris Waugh and Mike Cain…Team Greenlight...(returning champions)
Chandler Fry and Kyle Crabtree
Coury Coats and John Ollis
Jefferson Panis and Jay Burghardt…Aqueduct Aceholes
Dion Arlyn and Nate Sexton…Pinky and the Brain


Amateur Men

Jack Lorber and Adam Plueger
Kenny Benjamin and Sam Huff…West Sound Basket Case

[mazza]

is there still room to pay on the day of the event?? if not let me know so i can pay u before then

[Rideout]

Mazza, good to see your still in the game. As of right now, there is still plenty of room and I don't think that it will become an issue.

Mike

[DoubleDees]

your going to make me come play in the rain and cold... if the pass isnt too bad ill try to hitchhike over the friday before ^^

[Rideout]

It'll be perfect December golf. Cold Rainy Snowy Pass

Pack your sled and just tie up to a semi. Fun ride.

[GettinBetter]

I already know who's winning Saturday....... but I predict that someone will dump their partner for a shot at some cash.

[Nathan]

Nah. I don't think Dion will leave Nate. :wink2: Good luck Dion. Wish I could play this weekend. Darn state soccer.

[REDFIVE]

There are three washington pros out of eleven so far. There's Crabtree but he carries an umbrella during a mist so I'm not ready to say he's a washington golfer yet. Where are the washington pros?

[Tim]

There's Crabtree but he carries an umbrella during a mist so I'm not ready to say he's a washington golfer yet.

Haha, and yet I've seen Washingtonians carry an umbrella when it's sunny. Similar to the tendency of braking at green lights, wtf is going on here? :chinscratch:


Any ams looking for a partner for phantom dubs? I may be up for it, but I can give no guarantee of my level of play.

[REDFIVE]

Similar to the tendency of braking at green lights, wtf is going on here? :chinscratch:

Marijuana.

[Nathan]

There are three washington pros out of eleven so far. There's Crabtree but he carries an umbrella during a mist so I'm not ready to say he's a washington golfer yet. Where are the washington pros?

They're waiting to see if the weather will be good. Theres enough spots to not have to pre regester. If its anything close to today, it will be a good day for those of you lucky enough to play. But it will be a good day for soccer too.

[mazza]

Similar to the tendency of braking at green lights, wtf is going on here?

it becuz us here in washington state pause for the cause. so when we see green we stop then go:cool2:

[all2common]

There are three washington pros out of eleven so far. There's Crabtree but he carries an umbrella during a mist so I'm not ready to say he's a washington golfer yet. Where are the washington pros?

Yes, very curious indeed.

[GettinBetter]

Tim, Im looking for a partner.

[mazza]

hey mike.

looks like i won't the $50 to play saturday...so at this point have fun

[REDFIVE]

The good news is, it's supposed to be dry.

[olydiscgolf]

The Adv. field is looking to be pretty competitive, 28 signed up so far!

[GettinBetter]

What does the astrisk by some of the players names denote?

[Rideout]

The * means I still need to collect from he/she or the third party.


Mike

[douglaselvis]

Yeah!

My last Tourney as an AM2!!! Finally old enough to move up to an age protected Div! No chance of public humiliation from my son anymore.

But he can still beat up on OTH BOB though!! :nahnah:

[olydiscgolf]

Looks like a good pro field also... but where's the Mike's?

[DMajor]

Looks like a good pro field also... but where's the Mike's?

Fear of commitment.

But I bet they both show up.

[Rideout]

I just got one Mike on board, now I just need the hopefully "returning" champion to sign up.

There's nothin like watching Spencer put the smack down on his old man, or any old guy.

Mike

[DMajor]

I just noticed Mike Werth is signed up for masters. We may need an age verification on that one.

The advanced division would be an interesting bet. Lots of good golfers. One day tournament. Nice chilly weather. Anybody's day

[all2common]

Anybody want to start a cash cow for MA1?

[REDFIVE]

Mike Cain will not be playing on saturday, he couldn't get the time off of work. Why is werth playing masters? Bagger! Where is leslie? Mike, mike, and mike?

[DMajor]

My guess is Mike Leslie is the one Rideout was talking about

[killa]

Anybody want to start a cash cow for MA1?

I'd gladly throw in $5 or 10. Good idea!

[DMajor]

I would hate to see you guys forfeit your amateur status for an am1 cash cow

[REDFIVE]

I would hate to see you guys forfeit your amateur status for an am1 cash cow

Side bets are not sanctioned. Don't give the money to Rideout.

[olydiscgolf]

Im in for $10

[killa]

Side bets are not sanctioned. Don't give the money to Rideout.

That's what I figured. It may qualify legally as sports gambling, but if the TD doesn't coordinate it, then I'd assume it's outside the PDGA's jurisdiction, and has no bearing on amateur status.

[Rideout]

Nope, the two Mike's I was talking about were Mike Werth, who's complaining about not being able to keep up with all the young whippersnappers , and Mike Cain, the guy who won the Chilly Smack last year.

Mike Leslie should show up, he did win the last big event at Steily. But I guess Nate will also be around and he won the last really big event at Steily.

Here is an updated dubs list.


Chris Waugh and Mike Cain...Team Greenlight
Chandler Fry and Kyle Crabtree
Coury Coats and John Ollis
Jefferson Panis and Jay Burghardt...Aqueduct Aceholes
Dion Arlyn and Nate Sexton...Pinky and the Brain
Justin Romito and Justin Hiatt...House of Justin
Jeremy Hornbeck and Joshua Babcock...Sticky Cornbread
Ryan Deroche and Casey Olsen...Tacomendo


Jack Lorber and Adam Plueger
Kenny Benjamin and Sam Huff...West Sound Basket Case
Dan McCormick and Scott Nufer
Jason Van Proyen and Josh Bohling
Ron Stevens and Ron
Ron Bolan and Zack
Kyle Sutherland and Ryan Bartell...Rhyno-Mite!
Chris Ozanich and Sam Campbell
Trevor Werth and Andy Pinney

[olydiscgolf]

You can add team "Tacoly" to the list. Me and Garces.

I guess I have to put a cute little laughing emoticon to make a joke around here:kissflowers:

Yes, I only fully understand the english language when smileys are involved. Anybody wanting to speak to me this weekend or any other day should bring their emoticon flashcards. Thank you. :merlin:

[RonTheWhip]

Can't wait for the first round, I've really wanted to play this event in years past!

Also, I brought a box of discs both new and used with some great items that I'd like to sell. A few interesting items people may be able to find:

New:
First Run Str Cro
Star Classic Roc
First Run Star Xcaliber
Proto Type Star Viking with Champion Stamp (Black, really cool looking)
Various Discraft and Innova drivers, mids, and putters

USED:
Japan Open 06 Star TeeBird
Star Classic Roc
First Run Star Cro
Both Innova and Discraft

You'll get good prices this weekend, since I am low on funds, and will take almost anything for the used plastic :)

See ya all there!

[Toby Puttzinski]

So who won? How was the chili?

[Trozzle!!!]

I dont know if you were being sarcastic or not, or just didnt read the date, but the event isnt over yet. 1 day to go

[Toby Puttzinski]

Actually, it's singles today and phantom doubles tomorrow... I'm playing in the doubles tomorrow.

[sillybizz]

I dont know if you were being sarcastic or not, or just didnt read the date, but the event isnt over yet. 1 day to go

I thought today and tomorrow were two separate events.

[mazza]

I thought today and tomorrow were two separate events.

they r sat was singles(i placed 13th in the am1) and doubles is sun

[olydiscgolf]

Jamie Garces with a playoff victory for the Adv. title!

[DMajor]

The chili hit the spot and the weather was perfect. Scored
poorly but had alot of fun. Thanks to Mr. Rideout and friends for putting on a great tournament

[Toby Puttzinski]

Results are up... http://www.pdga.com/tournament-results?TournID=9199

[killa]

Does anyone know where a map can be found online for Rideout's Challenge layout? I was hoping to have that be the last image I see before going to sleep, but that ship has saile..... zzzzzzz

[mazza]

man today was a blast personaly. the weather was freaking awesome. the people where even better. and for my first tourny i could not have ask for anything better(well besides taking first place). now that i got my first tourny jitterz outa the way. i can only go up from here right??(guess i'll follow the smoke from my lungz:cool2:)

[Flash]

Nice work Dion, another 1050+ rated round. It must be nice to be playing some really great and consistent golf lately. See guys and gals running a larger event as a TD is really good for your game.

[killa]

We had 13 people try their hand at the $5 MA1 cash cow, and paid out the top two finishers. They were: 1st - Chris Ozanich (3rd in division); 2nd - Chris Gilberts (5th in div.)... congratulations, Chrises. (:chinscratch:)

So, are we going to see some certain pros switching up their doubles partners, pairing up the 2 hottest players from yesterday AND the 2 highest rated players here?? Throw in returning champs Green Light and we got ourselves a rodeo!

[mazza]

sooooooo who took the doubles. with this wind today there had to be some bad shots and i bet someone pulled as"mazza: afater a bad shot or two

[GettinBetter]

Honestly that was some of the best chilli Ive ever had. The weather was absolutely insane, if you were there you know what Im talking about.

Kyle and Chandler took 1st
Nate and Dion took 2nd
Chris and Mike took 3rd

[REDFIVE]

IT WAS FREAKIN' CHILLI! Thanks Mike! Good shooting Saturday Dion, good shooting Sunday Chandler and Kyle. IT WAS FREAKIN' WINDY!

[olydiscgolf]

I've never been so afraid of a 10' putt! And never missed so many 6' ers!

[REDFIVE]

Atleast we will have carts at the next rideout freeze yer balls off winter shindig.

[killa]

Would anyone disagree if I claimed that Mike's "Challenge" layout plays 2 or 3 strokes harder than NW or SE?

Would anyone take offense if I claimed that I think the Challenge layout also makes better use of the land AND is more fun to play than those other two?

I guess what I'm trying to hint at is that it'd be nice to see more tournaments make use of the HUGE variety of golf holes out there at our beloved supercourse, i.e. the Pro18, Pro27, Challenge layout... whatever. Let's just take a cue from Mr. Rideout and mix it up a bit, folks. For what it's worth, I would particularly like to see more Steilly tournaments run like the '07 and '08 FSO -- 1 round each day on Pro27... or maybe even on the Challenge layout plus a few extra holes to boost the player capacity. :chinscratch:

***1 great course > 2 good courses*** you heard it here first, folks.


P.S. capacity-wise, 5somes on 27 holes is essentially equal to 4somes on 36 holes.

[killa]

Atleast we will have carts at the next rideout freeze yer balls off winter shindig.

Yeah, and I bet that's going to be a blast because (as far as I can tell) everything Rideout touches turns to gold.

OK maybe we don't need to deify him yet, but the guy sure does have some creative ways to make events fun across all divisions.

I'll admit that the amount of land and holes possiblities are immense and unmatched. TD's are only limited by their imagination.

[Rideout]

Heck yah, more info coming soon for The Winter Flurry at Sumner Meadows on Feb 13th. A one day PDGA C-tier on a ball golf course. We will shoot two rounds of thirteen holes. More in a couple weeks.

Saturday was Chilly, but Sunday had the true Chilly Smack weather. It was 30 to 40 degrees with very strong winds. Nate Sexton had a tree limb come crashing down on his head; he looked alright, so we sent him on his way.

I should have some descent photos to share soon. I saw my buddy out there with the camera, but I haven’t actually seen any pics yet.

Again, it amazes me how much chili a tourney of disc golfers can go through. I tell my buddy to make more and more, but the more he brews up, the more they keep wolfing it down.

Saturday ran well. A little behind schedule due to fair weather golfers waiting to see if the forecast is still for, well, fair weather. The more the merrier. I was stoked to get 90 golfers in 30 to 35 degree temps; I could barely feel the heat coming off the big propane heater we had set up. By the end of the day, I was beat. I feel that I did the award ceremonies in a rushed and disorganized fashion. A few more minutes of preparation could have gone a long way.

Throwing a novelty style event on Sunday with a “developed in theory and supported by a few semi-practical test runs” scoring technique proved to take a little more time than I anticipated. I certainly felt the pressure all day of making sure that the players didn’t finish in the dark. Starting the second round at about 1:30 in the afternoon Sunday was cutting it way to close, but the last card came in about 15 minutes before the grove started to blacken and freeze.

I need to say Thank You to many folks out there.

Kathy (wife) was posted at tourney central from check-in through the awards ceremony both days. She did the check in each morning and was ready to help do anything needed the whole weekend. She answered as many questions as possible for players all weekend.

Anthony is responsible for shopping, prepping, cooking, delivering, serving, and cleaning the whole chili program. He doesn’t pay cash into the event, but he provides an outstanding service to the weekend. Each year he contributes a lot of free time to the chili for the players, about five to six hours a day for four days. It takes his whole weekend and he loves doing it.

Ryan Gwillim, Rob Smith, Jeff Hagerty, Dion Arlyn, Nate Sexton These guys helped count cards and put cards on the board, help with rulings (Gwillim), hand delivered the players packs on Saturday morning (Hagerty), helped with the awards ceremony (Arlyn), wouldn’t leave Saturday night until he knew that things were done (Smith), helped ctp out the ace pot cash (Mike Werth sat and Chris Waugh sun).

My biggest surprise helper was Chris Ozanich. I don’t recall how it started, but he totally took the bull by the horns Saturday between rounds divvying out the players packs. I gave him a list and supplied a quickly delivered bowl of chili and he spent most of the break helping in the tent. He seemed happy to do it and willing to help more if asked. Thank you Chris, you were a huge help.

Mark Kilmer – let me borrow a portable basket and a table.

Janel – she made 150 cornbread muffins (most where gone by Sunday)

Rob Dean – Put out all the tee signs Saturday morning for two courses.

Kyle Sutherland threw in a little appreciated cash.

I am sure that I am forgetting many people. Sorry and thank you.

[Toby Puttzinski]

Got home tonight, washed my hands and wondered why it felt like I had put lotion on my hands.(ok, save the dirty minded jokes) I wrote it off as just being cold and slippery... then I started thinking as to why I was struggling to grip my discs so much more than the others in my group under the same conditions... sure my discs were frozen and my hands were a bit cold, but I couldn't get a grip for the life of me.

Does anyone else use W-D40 to ensure a 'smooth' release of the disc? DOH!!!

LOL... OMG... I made a 'pull cart' in the wee hours the night before the tourney, and sprayed a generous amount of W-D40 all over the squeaky wheel bearings and wheels-- guess I didn't wipe up well enough.... I must've avoided getting much on my hands before the first round, but I think that I got a little too 'lubed up' for the second round when I loaded/unloaded the cart out of the car, grabbing it by the wheels each time. I struggled gripping the disc so bad that it was actually comical...I've gotten the shanks a time or two, but this was REALLY 'out of hand'... three slippery early releases followed by a compensatory MAJOR cling on, then repeat. I even said a few times that there must be something else going on that I couldn't figure out...WHY can't I get a grip.
I really felt bad for my partner-- he was playing good.

The good news is my hands will be nice and smooth for another day or so... and I can snap my fingers like never before...
