Festivus 2010 - January 30, 2010

[discgolfgreg]

Hello all,

Registration is now open for Festivus which will be held at Adair County Park on January 30, 2010. I hope mother nature is kinder than the ice dropped on this weekend's Ole' at Adair.

I'm not planning on opening an on-line registration. You can save the fees and spend a few cents with the post office.

You can access a registration flyer at the WDGC club website. Please note the desired division as I did not include a specific space on the tear off part of the form. http://www.kaser.com/wdgc/tournaments.html

To those unitiated this the WDGC's 9th annual winter event which started with the inital 10 hole layout that we started with at Adair. Evil temporary holes have will continue to be part of Festivus. The USDGC style island hole will be back. Not sure what new twists I will throw in this year.

The club will provide the traditional awesome hot lunch with cool beverages for all players. Courtesy of our friends at Calapooia Brewing for those 21+.

It will fill up fast even without on-line registrations, so send them in early if you want to be sure to get in.

Happy Festivus! :cheers::chug:

Greg

[Reichard]

I'm not "Diskgolfgreg" but we did have our club meeting tonight. Unofficially over 1/2 full with 4 weeks to go.

Is that what you were looking for?

[RonTheWhip]

Here is an update: Sign up and play the festivus because its a freaking awesome event! Yeah, less then half of the field is still available, so hop to it!

[Celeste]

woohoo I'm sending mine in today! I didn't see this original post so thanks for bumping it.

[SMOKIN JOE]

Race you to the mailbox.

[Celeste]

Well I'm stealing a stamp from the machine at work so I don't have to race anywhere. timestamp sukkkkaaaa

[runnaman]

Would anyone be able to give me a ride to this? I'm at Western Oregon, not too far from Adair.

[discgolfgreg]

Sorry I have not been monitoring this forum. For some reason the feature to send me e-mails when someone posts a reply got turned off. just turned it back on. When I checked back before I saw no replies.

Festivus is full as of January 12th.

I have a couple of names for the wai list.

I need to contact defending champ James Moore who has the Festivus Pole trophy. Does nayone have a phone number or e-mail for James?

Best regards, Greg

[DexterHawk]

I'm not sure my registration made it in time...

Are you going to post a list?

[SMOKIN JOE]

I'm not sure my registration made it in time...

Are you going to post a list?

That would be very appreciated by myself as well. Thank you for this great yearly event. My little gingerbread dude is one of my favorite trophies. Being hand made makes it special. See you all on the 30th.

Those trophies were cool. I have shifted to more function trophies. Unfortunately John Kinder from Bend can't make mugs/cups for a few months. This year I'm going with Calapooia glassware etched with the tourney logo. Thanks to Mark and Laura at Calapooia for their continued support of this fun event! Greg

[SMOKIN JOE]

Thanks for the quick response. Can't wait to see ya there. Got one of them cups myself. Different logo but still cool as well. Good choice. Looking forward to playing with Mr. Reicherd as well.

see above for my snarky bagger! commentary.

[discgolfgreg]

I messed up and should have had Matt B. and Ryan Lane's wife Gretchen on the in list based on when I was contacted so I will fit them in. I guess I should have published my list when it was 75% full.

As for mighty Sam, he will be playing lefthanded due to recent rotator cuff surgery on his normal throwing hand.

I talked with Jason and I'm not really of the mind set to force anyone to play Pro so I said OK to playing Advanced.

:cheers:

Greg

[discgolfgreg]

John Bain MA2 - is the mostly casual player and part time bar tender at Squirrels.

Thanks Greg - just some friendly ribbing. It all makes sense now. There really ARE two John Bains. Sam is brave to play offhanded in ANY division. And Jason.....well....Jason - you're a BAGGER! :biggrin2:

[Phatjay]

Ya I agree Matt the guy is such a bagger. Atleast he has those ruggged good looks and a great personality.

He's a personality bagger too!

[DexterHawk]

So, what is the weather prediction on the disc this year?

[essjay]

I'm pretty sure it includes an umbrella...

[Casey]

Yea, there was quite a bit of rain on it if I recall correctly. Thanks a bunch Kelly.....

[SMOKIN JOE]

Starting to get pumped up already. Can't wait untill saturday. After last weeks rain it can't get much worse. I still played well. So bring on the rain.

[CarlitosBonitos]

so anybody want to give me there spot??? I finally found a baby sitter, seems like a shame to have a babysitter and not be able to play Festivus?

[SMOKIN JOE]

Hey gangsta there's always room for a caddy.

[Flash]

WDGC,

Have you guys considered going to concrete tee pads at Adair? Its only been like 5 years or more since the course went in. I think the pads are nice but they are definitely showing their age!

[discgolfgreg]

WDGC,

Have you guys considered going to concrete tee pads at Adair? Its only been like 5 years or more since the course went in. I think the pads are nice but they are definitely showing their age!

Considered yes, but not permitted due to hypothetical master plan for the park. We have reconstructed 3 with new frames and treated plywood deck. Check out holes 5, 12, and 13. We will replace more in the next year.

Now back to thread topic!

This is the 9th year for Festivus kicked off by the first tournament in January 2002 when we had just installed the first 10 permanent baskets, I think we had the Fly 18 pads in year 3 when the course got expanded to through the woods to 18 holes.

Hey we are down to a 50% chance of rain Saturday and 40% tomorrow. That's an improvement over a couple of days ago KC the weatherman's forecast appears accurate once again.

:trophy: are sweet, etched Calapooia mugs and glasses with Umbrella logo, division and place. Thanks Mark & Laura for the glassware donation.

:cheers::chug::chug:

[SMOKIN JOE]

My home computer was not being very nice to me and I was surprised when I got to work this morning that no thanks had been giving out. Thanks Greg for another great event. Especially what you get for your entry fee. Great job Jesse G. even after my gift of playing the changed hole wrong. Thanks again Greg. Can I sign up for next year yet ? My wife and kid say to thank you as well.

[ChainBanger]

Same here. Thanks. It was my first Festivus and hopefully not my last. The extra holes were a ton of fun. The Willamette Club rocks!

[HoopSauce]

Thank you to greg and all the people who helped put on the event... I had a great time and can't wait for next year. The chilli was awesome and thank you to mark and laura for the great beverage.

[Nate Sexton]

Thank you Greg and the WDGC, another great one in the books.

Congratulations to my brother Colin on his biggest win to date! :trophy:

[DexterHawk]

Yeah... Colin is a great golfer and I'm glad he got the win...

The course was way fun... They had a new feature that I would recommend to other non-sanctioned events... on three holes they had multiple basket placements that they allowed us to play to... you could choose... a neat wrinkle.

I really like that idea too. Cool.

[Jester]

Festivus Rocked!!!! Hats off to Greg and the WDGC crew!!! Thanks for the great time!!!

[senegale]

Thanks for all the effort Greg, as always an awesome tournament.
Mark and Laura- i'm surprised you don't get tired of supplying beer for such a group of raging winos. Many many many thanks!

[Sausage Fingers]

Call me when everybody putts out and THEN you find out which was the correct basket...:pirate:

I love it when people do this!!!

The island hole averaged better than a par and I saw pros take 8s on it... cool!

Plus Mt. Everett #3 played pretty tough.
