West Sound Bag Tag Challenge

[Yardbird]

2011 West Sound Bag Tag Challenge.:yay:


The time has finally come to start another season of Bag Tag. I have received all the Fundraiser discs, the rules have been updated, and new Bag Tags are made. It is time to play.

This season we have decided to announce the West Sound Bag Tag Challenge to everyone. So, to all the players outside of the West Sound area, come join us and make a day of it. Play the Monthy in the morning and sample our other courses in the afternoon.

The first event is at NAD park on April 23rd. 9:00am check-in:cheers:


What is the West Sound Bag Tag Challenge? It is a series of five Monthly events (one round of 18 holes on Saturday mornings) at the various courses in the West Sound area. Participants will receive a cool wooden Bag Tag with a number on it. The goal is to challenge other players with Bag Tags and win the lowest number possible. The Monthly events are considered a group challenge and all present Bag Tags are up for grabs. Trophies will be awarded to the overall points leaders at the Final event (Open, Amateur, Women). :trophy:

The purpose of the Bag Tag Challenge is to encourage friendly competition and to raise money for the West Sound Disc Golf Association. Everyone is on his/her honor to conduct themselves according to the rules and within the spirit of competition. Have FUN. It is only a Bag Tag.

The West Sound Bag Tag Challenge will start on April 23rd at NAD Park @ 9:15am (1 round of 18 holes). Scores from that round will determine Bag Tags. Lowest score gets lowest Bag Tag number. Ties will be won based on last year's final standings. Players joining after the first event of the season will receive the lowest available Bag Tag number.

Sweet! Can't wait for the opener!

To All,

The start of the 2011 Bag Tag Challenge is only a few days away. Please pass on the word to anyone that you know that might not have heard about the West Sound Bag Tag Challenge. All levels of players are welcome. There will be trophies for multiple divisions for the Final standings.

The first event(Monthly) is going to be this Saturday, April 23rd @ NAD Park. We will be playing the red tees to the current pin configuration, which is even holes 'A' pin and odd holes 'B' pin. One round of 18 holes.

Player check-in will be at 9:00am with a players' meeting at 9:15am.

The cost is $20 for the entire season and includes a limited edition 'Z' Glow disc (Buzzz or Stalker).

We will also be collecting WSDGA dues for renewals or new memberships. Please support the WSDGA.

Non WSDGA members will be required to purchase at least one fundraiser disc ($15 each or 2 for $25).

Fundraiser discs are 'Z' discs (Nuke, Force, Avenger SS, Surge SS, Buzzz, Hornet).

Funds raised from the disc sales are going to be used towards purchasing baskets for the new Bud Pell course. Currently, the WSDGA still needs approximately $2000 for the basket fund. The club will also take donations and provide tax receipts upon request.

Payout for each event(Monthly) will be $50 to the best score and five prizes raffled off to the players.

Anyway, enough for now. See you all on Saturday.

Later,
Sam

:trophy:$50 to the best round at NAD on Saturday!! :yay: Sweet!

Any of you Shelton boys up to the challenge? :nahnah:

[EnigmaSquad]

Sam, Are you still doing some sort of side pot for those who wish to "make it MORE interesting"?

[Yardbird]

I was going to bring up the optional side pot idea at the players' meeting this Saturday. If there is enough interest then yes.

$5 optional side pot. All money will be paid out to the players that buy-in. Payout will probably a little flat to the top 40%.

I wasn't planning on having the optional side pot at the first Monthly, but that could change.

[Skookum]

You are assuming the Shelton boys use the internet? I think that challenge would've been better delivered at doubles yesterday, in person.

[Yardbird]

You think computer usage in Shelton is bad. West Sound players are only a few steps above you.

Maybe that is why our local courses are in great condition. More time playing/working and less time surfing the internet.:yay:

[Kenny B]

You are assuming the Shelton boys use the internet? I think that challenge would've been better delivered at doubles yesterday, in person.

But what about that secret government computer system you guys have down there that got you all signed up to play the BSF last year in like 0.7 seconds?

[Yardbird]

For all you stats junkies. I'll also be providing round ratings for all the scores in the Monthly events.

[NW DiscGolfer]

Looking forward to this, anywhere close to NAD to grab breakfast....not familiar with the course. Also what is the membership price for WSDGA?

[Yardbird]

The WSDGA membership is $20 for one. Add $6 for each family member.

lol case in point everyone was at my house to pull that feat off. Where is the justice I ask you since this year all the Mason County crew that wanted to get in did except me. Lotteries are dumb...(picture frowning emoticon here)

[Yardbird]

Thanks to all that participated in the kick-off event for the West Sound Bag Tag challenge. There are currently 33 players signed up for the challenge.

The winner of the $50 best score bounty was Tony Beckett (After a three playoff with Brian Jacobs).

The next Monthly is at Van Zee park (June 4th).

[YoDaddy]

As always, "Good Job Sam". I'm looking foward to being able to hit a few saturdays this year. Thanks for making the weather perfect for the day as well.

John:cheers:

The June Bag Tag Monthly is only a few days away. Please pass on the word to anyone that you know that might not have heard about the West Sound Bag Tag Challenge. All levels of players are welcome.

June 4th @ Van Zee Park.

Payout will be $50 to the best score and five prizes raffled off to the players.

[Kenny B]

I'm so bummed I can't make this one. :waaah:

Just hit an ace for me, will you?

[NW DiscGolfer]

I would have come out but I'm already registered for the Rizzle that weekend...

[Yardbird]

Wow, what a busy weekend. The weather was perfect for disc golfing. The June Bag Tag Monthly nearly filled the limited capacity Van Zee course. The added OB flags created some needed risk/reward on holes 6, 7, and 9. The Island hole on #9 painfully added strokes to some players that went for the deuce. Scores were all over the place. I was really surprised at some of the scores that were turned in.

The SSA ended up being 46.

The greens at Van Zee can be very tough at times. Missed putts could result in bad rolls, which means that a potential deuce turns into a bogey. You can argue that it is not fair, but really it is up to the player to make the right decision for the shot.

Thanks again to the Papas for donating the dyed discs for the raffle prizes. Super cool.


The next Bag Tag Monthly is July 16th at the Fairgrounds course.

Results/Report for the July Bag Tag Monthly held last Saturday at the Fairgrounds DG Course.

John Carter had the hot round and earned the prize for 1st place. The five custom dyed discs were raffled off to the other players.

A special thanks to everyone who stayed after the Bag Tag challenge round and helped at the Weed 'n' Feed work party. A lot was accomplished and the Fairgrounds course is looking great. It is in the best shape that I have ever seen it. Also, thanks to Brian Jacobs and crew for the food preparations for the Feed part of the work party. Awesome food and plenty of it.
