Hmm, no camping for the actual weekend though?

[sillybizz]

I have a question. Just wondering why Intermediate Men isn't being offered? Not trying to offend, just curious, thanks in advance. :)

Yes Tim, camping is available Friday through Monday of "the actual weekend"!

Because we can only except 72 golfers, we felt we could better serve the players by limiting the divisions offered. The divisions we chose, will not exclude anybody from playing.

[Skookum]

Please believe me when I say we agonized over this decision. I think we are making the right call and hope next year we will honor all divisions and take 144 players.

Oh, derp, was frantic at work and read "Monday through Friday." :slapface:

No worries guys, just curious. I'm hoping to get to play this. Haven't played the new tee pads yet but looking forward to it. :cheers:

Is there a way to become a club member other than finding someone in person? I checked the website but it just said find a club officer at the next event you attend. Not trying to be a pain in the butt, but I live 2 hours North of you guys and it's hard for me to get down there but I would love to become a member and assure my spot for this!

Also which pads are being used for this? I want to get to play the black pads (pro pads? :\) as much as possible so I'll play which ever division that is. Again sorry for all of the questions I'm just super interested in this event and I haven't time to play much tournaments this year. I appreciate it! Can't wait to play the new tee pads. You guys ROCK!!! :cheerleader: :cheers:

Thomas, we are working on getting club member signups online. It hasn't happened yet, but we should have something concrete in the next few days. Keep checking back here for more info.

Most likely, the black pads will be played twice by all divisions.

[BAKE]

Gilby, was thinking i could take the water tank out to the camp area (the one that we have used for the tee pads) for washing and what not? I wouldent drink out of it ??? Let me know :rockon::rockon:

[Rideout]

Registration is now live

HERE (http://store.northwestsignup.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=36)


Registration is only open for current club members until July 11th. If you sign up before the 11th and are not a club member, your transaction will be terminated. Current club members are listed on the registration page.

You may pay your club dues and become a club member while registering for this event, and that will keep your transaction from being terminated.

That sounds great Bake. I will have a 5 gallon drinking water jug available as well.

[olydiscgolf]

If anybody is interested in volunteering for this event, please message me. The Springs will be in great shape for tourney time, but there is still some pretty thick rough that a couple of extra eyes could help avoid some lost plastic.

[olydiscgolf]

Everything is falling into place, the sponsors keep rolling in. Thanks to our major sponsors; Beau Legs Fish and chips, TAG Vending, Ashby Homes, Rich Baker Construction, and our Tittle sponsor MCDG!

The Spring's will be in its best shape ever for this innaugural PDGA event. The concrete tee pads will be finished, the rough will be rough and the fairways will be SWEET! It sounds like the permanent tee signs will be in place by then as well!

[BAKE]

You know it, we have 11 of the tee signs built so far and we are pouring 5 more today (heavy)
still have a pour on the 23rd tee boxs 7,8,9,11 and am 3

It is possible to have a map posted again with the pars listed for both the red and black courses by each hole.........just setting up my scorecard on one of my apps and it would be nice to have it ready to go by the showdown and for any casual play in the near future. Thanks!

[Hohman]

Was wondering if there is a count on how many have signed up for this yet. I am interested in playing but won't know until the first of aug.

Here you go Dan, please note, there have been a couple of changes in tee pad placement, I don't think they have altered the par though.

The boys will be out there soon with the range finder, so we will have distances as well (at least by tourney time).

One or two of you might be glad to know Black 11 (the Island(of doom)) has moved. For those of you who thought the old tee was the best thing ever... what is wrong with you?

In case you didn't read it in the work party thread our concrete pour this Saturday has been cancelled.

We will still be having a work party on the 23rd to do weed wacking, back filling tees that have already been poured and installing the sign post that have been finish. We will also be setting up the forms the remaining pours that will happen

Monday July 25 @ 3:00 PM and
Tuesday July 26 @ 3:00 PM - THIS HAS BEEN CHANGED TO Wed July 27 @ 3:00 so come early to Dubs and help out if you like.

We will be pouring 5-6 tee boxes each afternoon and could still really use the help of anyone who can attend.

[SPIDER-DAN]

Thanks Chris............perfect! Really looking forward to coming out.......have not scored so well the last couple times.........need some revenge.

What!?! You moved black 11? Well, really didnt matter due to fact that I pretty much made the island from either pad 99% of the time and then went OB on the putt 50% after that.....:eek:......:confused:........:explode:

[olydiscgolf]

I'd like to welcome Shelton Floor Coverings/ Olympic Disc's as the Co-Title sponsor of The MCDG Showdown in Sheltown! Not only are they setting the standard in floor covering quality and selection, they will be the premier spot in Shelton to buy all of your disc golf swag! That's right if MCDG didn't already have everything going for them, now there is a full line pro shop moving in!

Shelton Floor Coverings/ Olympic Discs will be handling all of our scrip for the Showdown. We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with them.

[olydiscgolf]

And it just keeps getting better....

Can you say Pro/AM FINAL 9 SKINS!!!

Can you say $50 per skin!!!!!!

Can you say THANK YOU Shelton Floor coverings/ Olympic Disc's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[all2common]

Bummed I'm missing this one. Keep on rollin!

Olympic Disc Shootout - following the third round of the Showdown in Sheltown

The top four players from the Open divisions paired with the top four players from the Am divisions. $50 a hole alternate shot doubles skins played on a final 9 layout unique to 70+ acres of madness we call Shelton Springs.

That sounds like a much better idea than a raffle.

Is there any idea to stop the intentional missed short putts to get the pro driving for the next hole. Maybe a payout bonus for top two overall scores?

[olydiscgolf]

Everybody drives.

[killa]

I take that to mean that each successive hole will be driven by all 4 Pros, or all 4 Ams, in alternating fashion? So for example Pros might take the tee shots for all the odd-numbered holes and Ams would take the tee shots on even-numbered holes? I assume that's how it would work, since in skins some pairs don't even need to putt out if the hole has already been won or pushed...

this is an incredibly exciting format, guys. Bravo! I mean come on, pairing the top 4 players across ALL Open divisions with the top 4 across ALL Am divisions?? Brilliant! (specifically, I'm envisioning how cool it'd be to see a lights-out Paul Wright/Jeff Elliot helping a red-hot Mike Werth/Scott Papa/Kurt Bayne take down a $300 skin...)

congratulations and nice work on the latest, greatest sponsor!

[SPIDER-DAN]

I think it would be more in the line of all four pros and all four ams tee off on every 9 holes then the next shot after that would be in alternating fashion until hole is finished.

For example, S. Papa and C. Gilberts are a team and they both tee off on hole one. C. Gilbert's tee shot is obviously a little better than S. Papa's so S. Papa would then take the next shot from C. Gilbert's lie. Then after S. Papa throws somewhere in a different direction and they spend 2 minutes and 59 seconds to locate it C. Gilbert would then throw from S. Papa's mistake......I mean lie...... and so on and so forth until the final putt is made (more than likely by C. Gilbert). Then on hole two both players would then tee off and rely on C. Gilbert to carry the team once again.

This example in no way reflects any actual disc golf players or how the outcome could be determine. The names in this example is purely fictional and any living persons with the same name would be coincidental and not use in any intentional manner.............:biggrin2:.

You are correct Dan, all players (both Pro and Am) will tee off on every hole. It will play out as alternate shot after the tee.


Are you sure that example is fiction? I think I know that Papa guy.....

[olydiscgolf]

I hope everybody likes fresh caught Alaskan Salmon, because courtesy of Ray "Fish" Rothrock, that's what we are grilling up for lunch on Saturday! How much will this delectable meal cost you say, how about we include it in the cost of admission!


It just keeps getting better.......

[killa]

I like the skins format. and I like salmon. holy smokes! or grills, or frying pans or whatever

[Skookum]

Wow, nice looking payout and tee signs! They do look heavyish..

[DexterHawk]

I'm thinking about coming up from Oregon for this event... A couple of questions... I play pro so I guess I need a guarantee that there will be a division for me and I was wondering if I should pay online or just wait until I get there next week to pay?

I guarantee there will be an open division for you, we have had a bunch of new entries into the open division. It would be great if you could pay online. It really helps with the logistic of everything if we have our numbers in line before the day of the event. And BTW, it looks like there is only about 15 spots or so available.

[Yammits]

TEAM DISC ADDICTION will be there! We are looking forward to coming down for the fun and camping!

The TD will graciously be allowing us to take registrations for the August 20th RISING ISLAND OPEN as well. Full details can be found at http://www.nwdiscgolfnews.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7409

We're looking forward to the SHOWDOWN!

[GrummyBear]

Update on the PDGA registration?

Thanks, it has said 44 players for a while now! Assuming there is more...

[Yammits]

Disc Addiction will be there dying discs during the tournament. I don't think we'll be able to CUT designs on-site, but if you can tell us the design(s) you'd like ahead of time we can get them cut and will bring them with us. To see the available designs visit www.DiscAddiction.com OR if there's a design you want but we don't have shoot me a PM and we can often do special requests.

We look forward to playing next weekend!!

[mazza]

i have a nuke that needs the Scorpio dye on it....but i'm still working on my entry fee

[Rolly]

When I signed up it stated there were only 3 units in stock. Is that all the remaining spots?

[Skookum]

Its getting tight for sure we have been holding a few back because we have been taking one or two offline sign-ups but we are getting close. So we will look at everything and if we find more spots we will increase the quantity but it won't be by very much.

[olydiscgolf]

MCDG will be hosting doubles Friday night. $5 gets you in.

[Yammits]

Just wondering how the rounds are gonna shape up as far as which tees for which rounds? Two red rounds and one black? Opposite of that? My 29 year old arm feels 40 sometimes and I wanna gauge how many 900 foot holes i'll be shooting :)

[Skookum]

Red - Black - Black

[ski2man]

Hey Morgan, this is Todd. Sorry I jetted out yesterday after weedwackin, but had to get going.

[maco capo]

You can be if your score is in the top 4 of all open divisions. breathe easy big fella

[FISH]

HEY, WHY CANT PRO MASTERS BE IN ON THE FINAL NINE SKINS?


The top four scores from either Open or Open Masters will pair up with the top four scores from the Advanced, Advanced Masters, or the Advanced Womens divisions in the shootout for the Skins. Everyone from any division has a chance to qualify for the Shootout. Just need to be one of the top four scores from either the Open (Pro) or Advanced (Am) groups. Pretty Cool Ya?

[TREX]

Pretty Cool Ya?

Ya is good.. Ya :cheers:

Really happy with both of these numbers. Great job today Mason County.

Allow me to be first to compliment The MCDG club for an outstanding tournament this weekend. The Course was simply amazing and challenging, The tourney - perfectly organized and professional. Above all, It was great to hang out and play golf with my cool neighbors to the north ...that is to say, MCDG rocks!
"Showdown in Sheltown" has definately made my "must play" tourney list.
Thanks for a great weekend, and look forward to next year! :)

I echo the sentiments of my fellow competitors this weekend! Excellent job and thank you gentlemen! (and their wives who let them disappear from home in recent weeks!)

Hope to see you all at Whiners in a month where you can relax and play!

Gilbert, I forgot to pick up my Epi-Pen, but I would like it back eventually. No rush, just hand it to any West Sound guy the next time you see one of us. Hope it can give a little "emergency" peace of mind to Mason County in the mean-time.

[Rolly]

I wanted to thank the club and crew, I don't know names, I just saw faces and lots of them that were there to do nothing but serve us. Your time was very much appreicated.

Chris-- It was obviously a mind boggling amount of effort and time spent getting every detail right, I Hope you are extremely proud of your hard work it was well thought out and executed. It was an honor to play such a challenging course and be treated so well. A BIG tip of the cap, I hope you get some rest sir.

A special thank you to Spider-Dan for all the great plastic, it's always a pleasure seeing that treasures you may bring.

Thanks Rolly, and everybody else who came out to support us, I slept like a baby last night!

I can't take the credit though, I just happened to be the lucky guy/ loud guy that got to do the announcements! Morgan was the brains behind the operation. The guy is a computer wiz, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't require sleep!

It was the behind the scenes stuff that made it work so well, niether one of us could have done anything without the rest of the crew....
Rich "Bake" Baker, Chris Auseth, Ray "Fish" Rothrock, Rex Grey, Troy Ciganowski, Jason "The Chef", Scotty Flemming, and the rest of the MCDG Crew!


We are already talking about next years Showdown!

[FISH]

Everyone kept asking, so here it is one more time. Take the salmon filet and squeeze some fresh lemon juice on it. Salt and pepper, then some Dill weed. Let that stand for awhile so the lemon juice will break down the spices and soak into the fish. When you place on the grill, spead on the sauce. Just mix half Stone Ground Mustard with Pure Maple Syrup. YEP, it's that simple.
DON"T overcook it!!!!!!

[BAKE]

Ha Ha Dill Weed thats Funny still the best fish i have ever had !!!

[DMajor]

Thanks to all for a super smooth tournament experience. Communications, camping, course conditions, food, and everything else was well planned and executed perfectly from a player perspective.

The course is phenomenal and lived up to all of the great things I heard about it. I enjoyed it more each time I played it and more than any other course I've played. Par fours and fives should be mandatory for all new course plans. I expect some very good golfers to be coming out of that area in the years to come.

[Yardbird]

How was the "The Shoot- Out” Pro/Am Skins?

Was there any amazing shots / highlights?

Did all eight players get a piece of the pot or did a couple of teams clean house?


Sounds like I missed another great event. Hopefully, next year's Showdown won't conflict with my schedule. ;)

Chandler Fry and Paul Wright got teamed up for the final nine skins.. :shocked: :drool:

There was some very nice shots and a pretty big gallery. Was an excellent way to finish out the tourney, $50.00 a hole skins.

[Yammits]

Thank you all!

It was a wonderfully ran event and you made all of us from Whidbey Island/ Disc Addiction feel at home!

We look forward to seeing some of you down here, in our neck of the woods, for the RISING ISLAND OPEN on Saturday!

[WestsoundBT]

Final Nine skins - it was actually nice to see most of the nine being standard layout holes (vs crazy safari, there was one(?) safari version of 16). It works at the Springs since the selected multi-shot holes on the course offered some with scoring spread opportunities, good viewing options, and it served as reference for gallery players who played these exact holes minutes earlier.

I know its never good to be encouraged by the challenges of others... but there were comments of relief by many gallery members when virtually all skins players failed to really get out of the tunnel well on 10 black.

[WestsoundBT]

Oh, ...and 18 black,... but lets not speak of it again.:slapface:

[Skookum]

The safari version of 16 was because I felt with the double drive format that regular 15, 16, or 17 might anyone of them just be a push hole. but didn't want zero holes to play between 14 and 18 (boring) so 16x was born. I'm not in general a huge fan of crazy safari holes so next year may spend more time on finding the perfect 9 hole DDAS Skins layout. (blind folded from AM 11? I'd pay money to watch that.)

[WestsoundBT]

Safari 16 was a wise move. It provided the linkage to 18, and had a serpentine fairway there with the road. It wasn't safari in the "over the tennis court, around the jungle gym, over the bus parking area, then button hook right" kind of way. I agree that 15-17 standard would have pushed.

[mazza]

blind folded from AM 11?

that is it that's the shot i'm tryin next time i'm there

;)

Well let's just say that a portion of every skin went to a westsound club member!

[EnigmaSquad]

Does anyone know why this tourney was not included in the most recent player rating update as of August 30, 2011?

[Sam]

TD Reports were due August 16th for this update. My guess would be not enough time. Another update will be done in two weeks.

[Bullseye]

Does anyone know why this tourney was not included in the most recent player rating update as of August 30, 2011?


More often than not it is due to the final TD report/TD Fees not having been submitted before the ratings deadline, which was the 16th of this month.

We will be finalizing our TD report and closing out the books for this tourney on Thursday. I appologize for the delay, I have been on a much needed vacation!

[EnigmaSquad]

And a much Deserved vacation! I was just asking out of curiosity. Wasn't sure how things worked, that's all.

[LJ Jubner]

I am so jacked about a 735 rated round. thankfully when your mid 800's it gets dropped the other two were OK. red par is 56-57* black is accurate at 63
*this includes the OB'd green on #11?

The event went really well but no surprises there. A bunch of first timers nailed the track and then it's maiden voyage !!!!

I still say 18 would make two epic holes

one eyed jub

[Skookum]

one epic hole + one epic hole = 18... one really epic hole.

we are not so great at the math in MaCo.

[Bullseye]

one epic hole + one epic hole = 18... one really epic hole.

Ignore JubJub. Hole 18 is a great hole. I played it twice on Sunday and despite the fact that I 5'd it both times, I wouldn't change it.

I should have had the 4 the second time through, since I pimped the drive out to the field, but I screwed up the upshot and didn't leave myself with a putt.

Jeff

PS: To me, the par 60+ means you guys are doing just fine on the math ;)

I wrote down 4 twice red and 2nd time black, same way two to field third inside 30 ft key 3rd big hyzer past basket, short is death!!!!

5 first time black same but doink'd putt

I took an 11 on that hole on black. threw into shit, found, threw, lost disc, went back to last throw, two throws to get out, hyzer to within 50, putt missed miserably, mad putt back that missed, mad putt that didn't missed that bad, made putt!

I am sorry to all that had to witness that, but the course was awesome despite the fact that I wasn't playing well!

[Skookum]

Its a though provoking hole you can take an brutal 11, birdie it only using putter placement shots, or anything in between.

Harsh. I am only getting 10p counting that back, but harsh, nonetheless. I have a PDGA 11ppp on the books myself. Windy River, temp course, can't recall the hole #, but it's all about river right, and road left, trees, and long.

[ski2man]

So can anyone tell me why the second update since the tournament doesn't have the Showdown scores in it? Just wondering, would like to see it changed because I should go up. Looks like next one isn't until October. Thanks!

[DMajor]

Pretty sure this is the answer to your question.

Give em a break, those guys worked hard.

Play better in your next tourney and your rating will go up even higher in the next update!!

[ski2man]

I did give em a break, I wasn't trying to be a jerk, just asking since it has been two updates since the tourney. Thats all. Missing the first one made sense and I was just curious about the second. Its nice to see your rating do stuff since that's pretty much what you pay for with the pdga when you suck like me. I saw the previous post, it was August 30th...figured they would make the other deadline but I guess not. I know how hard they worked, I helped a little, very little, and I do know what they were up against. This is part of why I hate Facebook, email and texting...nobody gets your intent through writing. Your always seen as an ass. I will patiently wait for the next update which will probably not include more than one tourney because that one will be late too I bet. Oh well. And my ratings don't exactly skyrocket. :) I apologize for coming off as a prick.

[CMC206]

I dont think you came off that way. Personally I think that part of paying to play in any sanctioned tournament that it should be the TD's duty to post saturday rounds and Sunday finals the day of. So you can look at others in your division and determine what you need to do the next day in detail and what you could have done better in retrospect. As far as finalizing it for the PDGA that should also happen ASAP to get it in to an upcoming ratings update. Hopefully the PDGA will make it easier for TD's to do this with the new improved site they are working on. It's pretty sweet to come home from a Saturday round and see the standings. At the Beaver State Fling I got daily standings in my tent at the campground. I dont hold out hope that this will happen but it's what I expect for any tournament over a C tier that I enter.
:confused:

[LakeStevensBA]

I got daily standings in my tent at the campground. :

Dude...that's WAY too much information........

[CMC206]

Trust me. I was barely able to stand up. However I did play a mean staggering glow round. It would have been better if my wife was there. That would have helped my standings!

[Yammits]

Can anyone confirm if this event has shown up in their PDGA standings?

[olydiscgolf]

I appologize for the delay, we are working out issues with the TD report. We hope to have this resolved asap. Again, sorry for the delay.

[GrummyBear]

I appologize for the delay, we are working out issues with the TD report. We hope to have this resolved asap. Again, sorry for the delay.

Wondering what the issue is that my round ratings from mid-August haven't been noted on this latest November update.

It's quite frustrating to have not seen these scores reflected on my overall rating.

Should I send the PDGA some sort of message? Not a threat, but the reason why I play sanctioned tournaments is to increase my rating.

Again, thanks for running the tourney.

I apologize again for the delay. The TD report has been submitted to the PDGA. It was my understanding that the ratings were to be included in the latest update.

I totally understand your sentiment, the rating updates are what keep me coming back as well.

You have my word that this kind of issue will never happen again with our tourneys.
