Fort Walla Walla Open Oct 23&24

[Cerrgurry]

Hello,
Information as of right now and flier is attached.

Acepot- if no one hits an ace during the 3 rounds we will have a ctp for 50% of the pot.

Final Nine- We will be raffling the chance to pair with a top 4 pro in the pursuit of 9 skins in a doubles format. Regardless of who threw the last shot all pros will be teeing first on odd holes and the raffle winners will be teeing first on the even holes.

Good call on the final nine format. That's a fun way to do it.

I forgot to mention that I have opened up my basement and backyard to those that may need a place to stay during this event. Contact me if you wish to know more and there will be a limit as to how many etc :)

Will the Blue or Black course be played for this event?

Blue will be used in at least 1 round (more than likely 2).

We are going to attempt to get black ready to go so that it can be used in conjunction with blue. However, it is not a guarantee that it will be ready or that I will have the baskets to use it, therefore, I don't want to advertise it as happening.

If black is not able to be used, for whatever reason, we will have 3 rounds on blue.

The great city of Walla Walla has came through and have cut down the tall grasses.
The black course has been groomed and is ready for the baskets and paint.
The blue course is set to go minus painting the island and chalking.
Trophies are en-route...thank you discdiva.
Discs are en-route and the cool new minis are here.
Sponsorships have been adding up and we should have a great payout.

I hope we get a great turnout since the weather is calling for sunshine next week.....crap the weatherman is never right...perhaps this time he will be.

those interested in playing contact me to get you on the players list :)

[Cerrgurry]

Just a reminder that we will be setting up tournament central on the Museum side of the park.
To those not sure think the side of the park where blue 3 starts.
I will attempt to have a sign saying other side of park etc there at the blue 1 parking lot.

Two reasons for the move: Covered Area and parking.

Hmmmm so tempting. The weather could be great for an epic fall classic on a TPC caliber course.

For all of you who didn't make it to this event, I don't think there could have been more of you :nono:, you missed out! The courses were emaculate, the format challenging, and everything inbetween was smoothly run.

Great job Kris! Next Year's Aloha is in good hands.

I concur, great job Kris :cheerleader::yay:

First of all thank you to Scot, Clyde, and Tony for all the assistance that you have given me over the past 2 years and the work all three of you put in making the FWWO a great event. Secondly, thank you to ALL the players. I would like to thank Adam for making sure we had some great pictures. A thank you to Elsom Roofing, Inland Cardiology, Walla Walla University, The Dance Center, PBL, and Hutson Imaging (http://hutsonimaging.shutterbugstorefront.com/g/fort_walla_walla_open) for your donations. Lastly, thank you to the Tri-Cities for allowing us the use of a few baskets to make the ‘black’ course possible.
With the weather report being ominous we were limited to 18 die hard disc golfers and a cash payout to pros equaling $625. YES!!!!! 625 dollars and yes they got a player’s pack  did I mention there was only 11 pros and we paid out 1st-5th.
Not only did the top for pros take home 225, 155, 105, and 80 dollars they also qualified for the alternate shot doubles skins. When the tickets sales were tallied we had enough to do $38 dollars a hole or $342 total. Tony and Brian were the big winners taking home 4 skins on the 5th hole and 4 more skins on the 11th hole of the final 9 after a miracle shot by Tony getting out of thick cover giving Brian a gimme putt.
Thanks to the kindness of the Fort Walla Walla Disc Golf Club, Clyde, Tony, Scot, and myself we were able to provide enough discs for 9 CTP’s and still had enough left over to raffle them off in a second chance drawing. A few highlights of the second chance drawing include a first-run star destroyer, a mislabeled either T-rex or X-Cal and a “lava launch’ roc…yes that one.

The weekend weather held out better than anyone could imagine with even some sunshine both days. The players all showed respect for both the course and each other. For my first event as a TD, my only regret is that only 18 others got to enjoy a great course…I am sure the weather report hampered turnout.
Thank you again to all the players, sponsors, and others who made this event not only possible but made it a great time.

Other notes:
We used a semi-protected CTP’s. It means that lower divisions can move upper division flags but upper divisions cannot touch lower divisions. It means that intermediate had 3 chances per round for CTP, advanced 2 and open had 1 per round.
Ace Pot- we had a $5 buy in but we guaranteed 50% payout using a CTP after the third round if we had no aces. Congrats Ken on your great CTP giving you ½ the pot.
