I've not been able to play there yet. I think that works for me. I love the Ace Race though I do poorly.

There will be a few added prizes to this so that there are more winners... get your $ or confirmation email/pm/post on here so I can order the right amount of packages from Discraft... The money raised from this event goes to help our USDGC first Deaf invited player have fun at USDGC! Plus raise money for course improvements which will happen in October, we have 4 alt pin placements planned for 2010.

We will be there on Saturday as well drilling 4 holes for 4 new alt pins on the course.. Jerry Miller came through for us on the alt pins as usual... More details on the work party later...
So show up at the "door" and play!

Show up when you want, should take hour and half to 2 hours to do your 2 rounds. Just need to have 2 other people on your card to play with. I'll be there early, start at 10am until 5pm so up to you to come in at 11 or 12 and get 2 rounds in etc... just come and bring your friends. I'm getting more packages.

You could use my club on DGscene. I have a club called OR/WA DGC. I made it so I could post a tournament. I will post it for you or you can join and I will add you as staff. Or you can just start a club for the course out there, its easy.

The auger bit on the motor snapped in half while drilling, had to get a new one and drill holes late. Going to be at Taloali around 8am putting cement in the holes around the course then be out front of hole one at 9:30. The course is already set in the ace race format with the discraft flags marking the teepads, most of the holes are 150-180 feet. Expect 40+ players! Yahhhie... See y'all tomorrow..

Snap,

We had a great time today at the Ace Race. Thanks for putting it on.
I'm happy I didn't get shut out like the last ace race I played. I ended up with 1 ace and 2 metals. Not good enough to win, but it's better than getting a zero.:cheers:

What's in the players pack

This was so much fun. I didn't have much cash and could only afford one, so I signed my 12 year old up. I figured this would be a great first time experience, and it was time I caddied for him. He was the only one to hit metal in our group, and man was it close to going in. He was super stoked and I couldn't have been happier. Thanks Nathan.

I kinda like the discs. Nathan, what kind of weights do you have left?

snap7times
October 5th, 2010, 08:19 PM
Players packs are
2 ace race discs - these are overstable mids that have nice glide to them, almost everyone I know has added these babies to their bag, I have too.
Ace race key chain with the swivel ace in the middle, actually very nice.
ace race mini disc
discraft sticker
discraft pencil
discraft hat

Will look up the weights, am sure I have almost all the weight groups left from 145-177+ but will check it out tonight...

October 5th, 2010, 10:54 PM

4 alt pins been moved... as noted in the jerry miller dgc section...
Hole 2 is 110 feet longer
6 is a blind lefty route now
8 is 50 longer to the right for a straight lefty shot or slow turnover for righthanders at about 305 feet
hole 14 is 145 feet longer into the woods and now goes from the easiest hole to top 3 hardest holes.

Next spring, holes 1, 15 and 18 among others will get pro tee pads that will be 30-80 feet back from the current pads. Hopefully more people go to play over the next 8 months and money is raised to do all the projects we want to do in a timely manner so that 4 more alt pins go in next fall or even in the spring... GO PLAY THERE NOW ;)
