2nd annual Amnesia Open at Bonneville DGC Sunday June 19th.

[columbia gorge discgolf]

Columbia Gorge Disc Golf is happy to bring you another fun filled competitive non sanctioned touney. Last years event was a blast and so will the 2011 Amnesia Open. We had 80 people compete at last years event and hope to have a few more this year. Tee pads will be in on all 18 holes along with some layout changes. Cost is 20 bucks and as always there will be plenty of beer and BBQ on hand for cheap. Working out the players pack and will post when its done. Last year thanks to Amnesia Brewing and the great disc golf community CGDG made enough money to install tee pads. This year we are shooting for tee signs and benches. I will post info as I get it. Please pm me if you are going to make it. Would love to get a ball park head count.

[columbia gorge discgolf]

So far the players pack includes a Tshirt and an Amnesia pint glass. We wont be doing discs quite yet. Also there are tons of CTPs! Last year there were 2 per division per round. Again this is a non sanctioned event so beer drinking is allowed during play! Also would like to start an annual swap meet at this event. We all have plastic and other DG related stuff we dont use. Lets get together and save each other some money with a Buy, Swap, Trade sideshow at Bonneville. There will be plenty of tables and time. Event will be two rounds and in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge so you may just want to stay for a Dubs round later of just keep on enjoying to beer and BBQ. Am trying to create a layed back environment were some great golf is thrown down. Please come enjoy the day with us as is has always been a great event!

[Stephen.Sines]

[NW DiscGolfer]

Is there any RV camping near the course, definetly would like to come down for this tourney. Two of my favorite things.....beer & disc golf! :chug: Pre-sign up of day of?

[columbia gorge discgolf]

I will check on the RV stuff for you. I believe there is RV camping within a mile of the course. Usually I have people sign up day of but if you guys could PM me with you shirt size that would be awesome.

[Stimpi]

Thank you, PM sent.

[columbia gorge discgolf]

Lewis and Clark R.V. Park is half a mile from the course and also offers tent camping. All sites have water and electric. Cost is $20 per night for 4 people and $2.00 for additional persons. The place is never full and is in a very nice setting.

You're a great resource, Gawain. I don't get the connection to the bar in Portland, though?
Another new course in Washington for my bucket list.
Can't wait to play it.

Thanks a lot. I plan on coming down (shirt size XL) (beer size 64oz growler) :chug:, go on vacation for a week following that Sunday so will probably do a little OR. disc golf tour.

Stimpi, that link is the web site of the tournament sponsor - Amnesia Brewing. :chug:

[PDX_Stu]

The official connection to Amnesia Brewing is the fact that the owner happens to live in Stevenson WA. I have seen him in Walking Man before!

:chug::chug:

[columbia gorge discgolf]

The reason Amnesia brewing is involved with disc golf in the Gorge is that the owners are F***ING awesome!!!!!! Walking Man our local brewery not even close. I also thought that since most of our golfers are from PDX it was a nice connection. I approached Walking Man a couple years ago and they wanted nothing to do with the course or disc golf. Kevin from Amnesia goes above and beyond supporting disc golf in the Columbia Gorge. Last year his beer alone generated over $500 for the tee pads you will be playing on. Amnesia is a huge friend to disc golf and I urge all golfer to frequent their brew pub as often as possible.

How much for this event? It has sparked my interest tenfold.

[columbia gorge discgolf]

Amnesia Open is $20.00 entry fee which includes a tee shirt and a commerative pint glass. If you have never played out at Bonneville this will be a great time to do it as all cement tee pads will be laid and we will be utilizing a new lay out. It is also a casual and very fun event.

[The Brodys]

Cant wait. If you guys need any help day of just let me know, or if you need anything else. I will bring a couple discs to donate for CTP's as well. Yeah for Gorge events.

[columbia gorge discgolf]

That would be awesome of you guys to donate some CTPs!! I have a bunch and a couple from you would help me out.

[chris7graham]

Are we there yet??? cant wait.

[Stephen.Sines]

as far as the disc swap goes....
pm me anyone who can provide me with some z breezes
I'm on the hunt.

[The Brodys]

That would be awesome of you guys to donate some CTPs!! I have a bunch and a couple from you would help me out.

You got it! See ya out there.

[*freeskier]

I cannot recommend this tourney enough. It was my second ever last year, and was a very casual, super fun event! Did I mention beer and BBQ.

[columbia gorge discgolf]

The baskets on the far side of the course will be pulled on June 12th for the final pour June 13th. They will not be put back until Friday morning June 17th. The reason for this? Last time we poured some really cool people cut through the barriers and played on my not so dry pads. Unfortunatly there are factions within our sport who think things happen by magic and nobody really "works" to build disc golf, so good people suffer for this. I am sorry but will do my best to get those baskets back in ASAP! So basically, you have until next Sunday to play the two new holes by the river.

[whalekillah]

Anyone going to this from Portland area? I would like to pay for your extra seat!

[The Brodys]

I am going to bring or send the CTP's I have out to dubs this week. I have a opportunity to play in the King of the Lakes tourney in Tahoe and sadly am not gonna be able to make it out this year. If there is anything you need help with leading up to the event just let me know and I will do what I can. Thank you for all your hard work CGDG.

[columbia gorge discgolf]

Thank you for your CTP donation. If I could play the Tahoe event I would prob skip my event as well! Looks like there is quite a bit of interest in this event. I am excited for that. I love to show that we have a strong DG community in the Gorge. Monday is the final pour and I cant wait to have this all be over with. Three years of fundraising and we have tee pads on all 18 at Bonneville. I cant wait for people to try them out and get some feed back.

[GrummyBear]

Whalekillah, if you need a ride still.. PM me.

[Jessenumber1]

I'm thinking about playing this but I'm unsure which class to register for? Are there results from last year or just some any advice anyone has to offer? It would be greatly appreciated.

[NW DiscGolfer]

Jesse, for anyone to have an idea what to recommend, what course do you normally play and what is your average score there?

[columbia gorge discgolf]

The pour went well today and I am beyond happy to report that Bonniville has concrete tee pads on all 18 holes!!!!!!!!! Also due to the size and layout of our course there will be plenty of mandos and O.B. to keep everyone out of harms way during the tounament. I am compling a comprehensive flyer to hand out to everone that describes how each hole plays. The course has also been renumbered to flow much smoother.

[Jessenumber1]

Jesse, for anyone to have an idea what to recommend, what course do you normally play and what is your average score there?

Yeah that might be helpful. :rolleyes:

I usually dance around par at lunchtime, average probably +8-10 at dabney (though i have parred every whole there at least once) and find a few too many trees at pier for me to keep score very often there. I just shot maybe a +15 or something at timber but I played like complete garbage. I blame the hangover.

I'd like to play with some better players so I can hopefully learn a few things but not be a nuisance.

Thanks!

[columbia gorge discgolf]

Jesse come on out have some fun and play in the Rec. division. I think you will enjoy yourself.

[Jessenumber1]

Great thanks for the heads up!

[Sam]

I will be coming to this with whalekillah (Epker) and Graham. Anticipated arrival: 8:45am. Will be loading Stern's pro shop in his car so he can take it out there when he gets home in the morning from his long trip. Will also donate a couple of CTPs.

Anything else we should be thinking about? Any idea who is coming out to play Pro? Sounds like a good time at a fun course.

[jdp11284]

Looking forward to this event! You have been working hard on this course, and it definitely shows! Will be out there bright and early to help out. Yeah boy!

[columbia gorge discgolf]

Sam I know of one person who will be playing pro. . . YOU!!!! No, I have no idea. I know Kilmer is coming down from Stilli and possibly Camo, if I get to play I will also join in the pro fun. Those two player alone will crush me but hey, nonsanctioned! Appreciate the CTPs and you helping out Gawain to make this happen. Painting tee numbers and distance on pads today. Can't wait for this grind to be over and for all the players to enjoy themselves.

[TreeLove]

Sam I know of one person who will be playing pro. . . YOU!!!!

[columbia gorge discgolf]

Two days left till the tourney!!.. Course is looking good. All tee pads are now concrete and have hole numbers and distance painted on them. Just a reminder. . . This event is for FUN!!! Please come out and enjoy your day at a fun course in a beautiful environment. The golf will be high quality with a laid back attitude and atmosphere. Paitence will have to be employed as this is a compact course. I have done my best to ease the congestion of events past but the course is what it is so there is still at least one area where congestion may occur. Most of us are in the middle of our PDGA season and I would like to have this event viewed as a break. Play great golf, relax and have FUN!!!!!!!!!!

[chris7graham]

I can't wait,this is a great course and now all the tee pads are in.Thanks for running this event see you Sunday Justin.

[PDX_Stu]

Didn't we have issues last year - like the TD winning his own raffle or something - it is starting to come back to me : ). We can't let Jusin win this year.

[columbia gorge discgolf]

With the amount of players coming out and how tired I am getting this whole thing together. I think I may just enjoy the friuts of my labor and watch the disc golf community enjoy themselves. Maybe not but im leaning that way.

[PDX_Stu]

Yea, just hang out and drink beer. I could live with that !

[TreeLove]

A TD that enters his own raffle? Are you sure about that? Sounds kind of Breakaway Disc-ish...

Is there any room left in this event? I returned early from my road trip, and would love to complete in it...

[columbia gorge discgolf]

In my defense I have never held a raffle. Stus prob just sore that last year I birdied the last 3 holes to beat him by 1 stroke! I will hold a spot for you Gawain. Im glad you made it back and get to play.

[columbia gorge discgolf]

Also on an important side note: This is a day or registration event. Prob be the last time I dont take pre registration. There has been more interest in this event than I first thought. I plan on capping the event at 90 players. If you have contacted me I have saved you a spot. Im pretty sure everyone will be able to play and am just posting this so there are no surprises and to get it out there. Also people who want to volunteer will recieve a players pack and free lunch.

[GrummyBear]

The TD hit his own ace pot!

[AChivers]

Justin can you save spots for Chain Damage?

[columbia gorge discgolf]

You gotta give me more than that. How am I suppossed to know what chain damage is?

[Sumo]

Hey just giving you a heads up my friend and myself are on our way to the course from lakewood wa. Can you save us a spot our shirt size large for both of us.

[columbia gorge discgolf]

I have a block of spots saved for all the Tacoma golfers coming down. I gaurantee you a spot in this event. Thank you for making the drive.

Hmmm... I think that there were more people than that. The women? Oh... and where is Vince Epker?

[columbia gorge discgolf]

There were lots more people. These are the ones who placed. Sorry guys I am back at work and getting ready for this weekend. Next year I will have a better system in place and pre registration.
