I'll be the Assistant TD so holler if you have any questions.

[ScottW]

I have been diligently working on getting sponsorships for the Farragut Open - tough work! I have a few nailed down and a few commitments. Here's what I have so far:

Jack's Rapid Fire Plastics Disc Golf Shop (largest sponsor so far )
UPScale Mail - will be printing the scorecards
Stimpi Ridge Disc Golf
The 19th Hole Disc Golf Shop
Dry Fly Distillery
Performance Physical Therapy
R.E.I.

I have made contact with a bunch of other businesses and am persuing more as well. I hope to be able to add to the sponsorships as best as I can. This will be a fun event with some neat surprises too. Innova CFR discs should be in any day too. Registration is up on PDGA, get signed up.

[ScottW]

The CFR discs are in and will be $20 each and available at Jack's Rapid Fire Plastics Disc Golf Store in Post Falls or you can call him at (208) 691-1126 to arrange something else. Champion Glo Whippets and Champion Katanas. Also have INWS CFR discs as well, Champion Gators, Champion Glo Destroyers, and Gummy STAR Rhynos - those might be going for $18 each but am not sure. You would need to check with Jack for exact pricing.

Tee pads will be in time for the tourney on the DBD.. Can't wait. Gonna run doubles on Sunday morning. Excited!:biggrin2:

[Stimpi]

Having one day and three courses, what will be the format? I doubt we'll be playing three rounds.

[ScottW]

As I am sure you know Jeremy, Keith has assured us that the cement tees will be ready to rock and roll in time for the F.O. We even offered to have an NIRDGC work party to help and he turned us down stating he had it taken care of. Should start going in anytime now.:yay: Yay Keith!

I wouldn't trust a NERDGC work part either! The forms are done on the front 9!!

[ScottW]

Stimpi, we will be playing DBD and Wreckreator.

[tomw]

I hope to play the DBD course this labor D weekend.With My son, an old friend and hopefully the course record holder, B000, you out there?

[Yoduh]

8 pads poured and 4 forms to go.. Gimme a call TW..

(Jeremy, didnt see your post until i got back from the Gutt.I,ll call you on Labor Day!)
Wow! An amazing course my friend. I havent played 2 too many course's but the new double black Diamond has hints of Daliwood, Lakewood, Seatac, Columbia park, Stilly,Troutdale,BMtn,HB,TBst,etc. And of course its all FARRAGUT.:biggrin2:
Dan was a good guide for me, Ben, Dusty, and Joel. All tee pad were poured as we were the first to play on the back 9 pads. Dan and I battled all round long and ended tied at +2. I was even on the par4's, with a bogey on #4 and birdie on #10. Missed 6-7 putts within 50', so there's room for improvement.
This maybe my new favorite out at the Gutt!!
We didnt stop between rounds, and Dan worked me on the Wreckreator course. I was putting for bird on #5(old 16) Hit low and rolled away thrice and saved dbl bogey with a 30' putt. That started a +8 in a 7 hole streatch:angry: DBD 62 Wreck 61
Addition of directional & tee pad signs and Farragut St park will once again be the top spot for the best courses in the inland NW(A tier in the future?) :rockon:NORTH IDAHO ROCKS:kissflowers: A big T Y to the course designers and installers.TW

[Yoduh]

An "A" tier may be in the works for next year.. Keep your eyes peeled for info..

[prospect]

First of all, the courses look great!! Second, anyone who is allergic to bees needs to watch out on the left side of Wreck #12. There are a couple big nests in the trees right on the edge of the fairway. I know, cause I got my first bee sting today...hurts like a sombitch!!! Luckily I'm not allergic, cause that would be a hell of a place to find out I am. Beware the bastard bees!!

[Yoduh]

I will let the parks guys know about the bees.

[tomw]

I will let the parks guys know about the bees.

BEE'S BEE'S there tearing my flesh, Your firearms are useless, Save yourself! (Quote from Tommy boy!) I miss CF:angel:

[prospect]

I always enjoyed the SNL skit with the "Killer Bees"

[Yoduh]

THEY ARE SUCKING MY WILL TO LIVE!! When he died it was a very sad day..:(

I spoke with Keith today about the final tweaking out at DBD. There will be 2 new pin placements before tourney time and you have only begun to see how easy DBD is going to get..:biggrin2: My guess is by May of next year the course we are playing now will be known as Black Diamond and The DBD will play about 3-4 strokes harder:laughing::wink2:

[Yoduh]

Bees will be taken care of soon.

[jshrack]

The D.B.D. Course looks great. All the tee pads seem poured.
One pad was setting but had and alternate to throw from?

Anyway, I will be making more treks to Farragut having seen the light.
Reminds me a lot of Seatac, without the blackberries and the easy front 9.
Can't wait for next weekend... a tourney round there will be epic.

[ScottW]

Yes, I believe it is hole 14 that has two teepads, almost side by side. I am not sure which one we will play from during our DBD round so get comfortable with both. The course is playing amazing. I can't wait either.

[Yoduh]

The one on the right is the pin that is supposed to be the courses teepad. It has 4 options off of the tee whereas the other tee is easier and only has one route. A RHB route.
The Farragut open BYOP Doubles Championship is on Sunday begining at 10:30. There is an Am Division and an Open Division. $20 a team for ams and $30 for Open. We will be playing 1 round of the DBD.

[Stimpi]

I'm having trouble finding info about this event.
It's not listed on the calendar of the North Idaho Disc Golfers?
What time is the players meeting/teeoff?

P.S. I see Pete Wilson is having breakfast and looking for company, at GW Hunters (is that the name?) in Post Falls, at 6:00am if anyone wants to join him.

[Stimpi]

Got a call from Yoduh, who swears the Player's meeting is at 9:30 with a 10:00 tee time.
ALSO!!! Late registration will still be available Saturday morning, before 8:30, so don't show up at 9 o'clock and expect to get in.
See you there.

The flyer available at the Inland Series site shows different info, on the downloadable pdf registration form, located at the bottom of the page. This is the info I've been going by. I guess I'll be early!!

It seems the un-official ratings on PDGA assume we all played the same courses during the same rounds.
As a result, us lowbies have outrageously low ratings for the first round and wonderfully padded ratings for the second.
I would assume the opposite is in effect for the likes of Christian and Big Mike.

Just a heads up, I assume they will figure it out ???

[Gordy #21004]

Justin, I'll bet the presumption right now with the ratings is that everyone played the Wreak in the morning and the DBD in the afternoon. So look at your score for the DBD in the morning round and compare that to the rating for the same score shot by an A Pool player on the DBD in the afternoon and add about 9 points because the morning round was wet. That might help you calculate what your rating for DBD was. Do the opposite for your Wreak round. ie; I shot a 61 on the Wreak in the afternoon so I look at what an A Pool player's rating for a score of 61 was in the morning. Now I subtract about 10 points because it was dry in the afternoon. (caution: this is not a scientific method, its just to get you moving in the right direction) And also more importantly please be patient with the TDs. Jack and Scott did a tremendous job. Thank you very much. :trophy::trophy::trophy::trophy::trophy::trophy: Gordy.

[jshrack]

Thanx guys!

I understand these are un-official, just wanted to give a heads up in case anyone in my pool was confused.
Also wanted to make sure it was even noticed, I know how much you TD guys have on your plates.

Jack and Scott, thank you for the awesome tourney!
Thanx again for the information. Can't wait for the next one.

[Yoduh]

The ratings weren't correct when first posted. The Am pool ratings the round they played the wreck are the same as the open. The afternoon.

[jshrack]

good to know.
thanx yoduh

[ScottW]

We are aware of the ratings mix up. I pointed it out to Jack the other day and he will rectify it soon, before they become official I assure you. Thanks to all. Thanks to everyone who showed up to play and make this a record attending year 111 players. And thanks to everyone who signed up in advance and made running the behind the scenes stuff easy. It was a great event.

[jshrack]

Thank you !!!

[ScottW]

Just wanted to let people know that the problem with the round ratings for the 2010 Farragut Open has been addressed even if it has not been fixed. Jack has submitted the TD report to the PDGA (and he e-mailed me the report so I saw all the info firsthand) and the pools ARE separated properly for each course, soooooo, I do believe that when the results are posted and are official that the ratings will be adjusted to where they should be and this should be a non-issue. I will keep an eye out for this and if it is not corrected will bring it to the attention of the PDGA as it is in their hands now.

[jshrack]

Sweet!!! :bowing:
