The Fernburner returns!

[Fletch]

After a much needed year off, The Inn at Lucky Mud is happy to announce the return of the Fernburner tournament on Saturday, August 27, 2011. This will also be the unveiling of our new tee signs with the money raised at last year's "FernEarner" fundraising tournament (thanks Tim).

This year we will open roughly 30 spots to the general public but they will go fast as we cap the field at 72. Differences in this year's Burner will be a second round safari nine (some long par 4's and EPIC!) complete with tee times. These are all new holes and anyone who has played there knows Mud was built for this knd of thing so it should be sweet! We will also be doing a throwbot competition for added fun/chaos!

If anyone out there has ever wanted to attend this tournament this is your chance as it's really the first time we've opened it up! For the record, all the ladies that throw will get special consideration on getting in as at some point we want to hold a very upscale and large women's only tournament, so please sign up ladies!

If you show up Friday there will be random draw doubles beginning at 5 or 6pm.

WOO!!! I haven't been playing much lately, especially tourneys, but I'll gladly dust off my discs for this.

BTW, anyone registering by paypal (for any tourney, or friendly transaction, really), make sure you send the money as "Payment owed" under the Personal tab. That way TDs don't get dinged with paypal fees.

[Trozzle!!!]

5 or 6 of our Hagg Crew has played the Mud a few times and would definitely love to attend this one!!!

[Sam]

Wow... same weekend as NAAC.

Sorry, folk. I will miss this one again. I hope in some year to come that this is not scheduled on the same weekend as other major tournaments. Have fun, everyone. Hope to get back to the Mudd for a tournament some day soon... so I can knock the trophy table over again.

:cheers:

[Toby Puttzinski]

I'm seeing a scheduling conflict here as well-- my son's 7th birthday is on the same day...

I suppose I could sneak in a self serving gift: Legos, nerf gun, wii game, and 2 nights stay at the Inn?

[olydiscgolf]

We will be there Adam. This is my "can't miss" tourney!

[Caprice Johnson]

Question - I'm a girl that wants to play, but I would really need my husband to be there, play too. Is there room?
:seeya:

[Celeste]

Wow... same weekend as NAAC.

Just be sure to thank your sponsors when you do it :chug::laughing:

[Sam]

Oh you know it.... but I am losing my main sponsor (Phillip Morris) when I go to sleep tonight. That will still leave other sponsors like Millstone, Bridgeport, Rogue, Deschutes Brewing, Lagunitas, Russian River, the Cascade Barrel House, Jimmy's Bar, Ninkasi, Plaid Pantry and some others...

It's good to have these sponsors without them knowing it. Saves them some money but ends up costing me...

[Fletch]

Just an update on the Burner we are down to 20 or so spots so if you're thinking about it, do it now or miss out!

Some big news, some of the best damn Sicilian pizza in Portland will be doing lunch this year. Al Forno Ferruzza (alfornoferruzza.com) will be slinging pies after the first round. BIG thanks to Steve for everything!

Sara and I put a solid 10 hrs. weedeating the course last weekend. Bob has been playing catchup but seems to have turned the corner on the mowing and the course looks great! Also built the teepads for the final 9. SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Trust me it's gonna be fun! The teesign are being printed this week and they look sweet!

Dinner menu will Tri-tip, coconut shrimp, pork tenderloin, Doug's famous BBQ chicken, , seafood and veg. linguini, Tasty vegetarian stuff TBD, salad, asparagus, etc. etc. YUM.

Looks like we MAY be doing poker night friday at the cottage if we can line up a few dealers. Either way there will be a red sauce and pasta dinner friday for $5. This will go down after dubs.

So send in those registrations. For the record, it's open to EVERYBODY!

Getting excited!
Adam

[Ol' Bob]

Getting excited!

Easy boy.

(BTW, I found your Classic Roc)

:seeya:

Yes there is still room!

[ChUcK]

I'm in, hooray!

What's on tap, Ol' Bob?

[Ol' Bob]

What's on tap, Ol' Bob?

Rit dye.






...I blew the keg last night. Withdrawals tonight. Picking up more Vortex tomorrow.

[ChUcK]

Rit dye.

Not FDA approved. :puke:

[Fletch]

Only a week and change left. There are still spots open so get those registrations in!!!! One good thing about getting in the Burner this year is you will be on the invite list for future events.

If you've ever wanted to play Lucky Mud I would suggest making the trip now. The course in is immaculate condition and we should have all the final nine baskets and teepads in by early next week. Sara and I both have next week off so we will be down there starting Sat.

As for the dinner, we really need an accurate headcount for the food so if you are signed up but not for dinner and are thinking about changing your mind, let us know ASAP.

Haven't picked up the kegs yet, suggestions?

[Ol' Bob]

Haven't picked up the kegs yet, suggestions?

Yeah, lift with your legs.

Hops = good. Malt = bad. IPAs deliver. IMHO.

[Tim]

Hops = good. Malt = bad. IPAs deliver. IMHO.

Hey, there's room in the world for malty beers too! IPAs are a good bet though, my tastebuds have been especially fond of black IPAs as of late.

[Sam]

PM sent. Salty Balls and I want to come to this. Stay Friday night and potentially Saturday night, as well. Or maybe just Saturday night. Can we play? Can we?? Dinner and the whole works, of course.

[Fletch]

Yes and Yes! For lack of Jub and his Manny's this year, how's about a pony of that, an IPA (not my favorite, insert specific variety here), and a (must be good though, I hate bad pilsners) pilsner or lager for the unhoppy.

Doug is getting a keg for the cottage and you know how Bob rolls.

[Ol' Bob]

Wow... same weekend as NAAC.

Sorry, folk. I will miss this one again.

Hmmmmm?

[Sam]

Whatever, Old Man! Just know that it has absolutely nothing to do with wanting to come to your place and give ya a little payback. Side bet? :)

[Ol' Bob]

Obsessing, are we?

[Sam]

About the Mud? And not winning? Always!

And... where do we stand on that side bet? :)

[LJ Jubner]

I too am disappointed about not being able to attend the burner this year. My excuse is I am going under the knife for a detached retina on Wed the 24th. This also explains why I have been strong side and still missing.

Oh and being a crappy putter does not even enter into it!!!

[Ol' Bob]

About the Mud? And not winning? Always!

And... where do we stand on that side bet? :)

I never bet. I'm sorry for hurting you so deeply. Well, maybe not so much.

See you next week. I may not even be in shape to play, as I've been working way too hard and way too much.

aahh, the ol' detatched retina so I missed the putt defense!

Well maybe next year Jub, good luck with the surgery!

[Fletch]

Anyone have a basket or two they could bring for the final nine so we don't have to move baskets?

[TreeLove]

Fletch, I can bring a good basket. Innova Discatcher Pro: full-weight, double-chain, deep-basket, with portable base. But you will need to move it - it's heavy! :)

[olydiscgolf]

Anyone have a basket or two they could bring for the final nine so we don't have to move baskets?

I've got a bunch of baskets, Ill bring a Chainstar w/wheel, and a mach V w/wheel. Let me know if you need more.


Chris

[Ol' Bob]

Bring 'em all and we'll hide your body in the woods.

If you lose them to Fletch in the poker game, that might not be necessary.

[Sam]

See you next week. I may not even be in shape to play, as I've been working way too hard and way too much.

Sitting here at my desk this morning, I am wondering if I am going to play in League tonight or if I am going to take some time off and let my ass heal. I mean... my sciatic nerve. Yeah... that's what I meant.

See you Friday. Let's just drink all weekend. I'll let you win. :cheers:

Oh... I bet we could get a basket up there, as well.

[Ol' Bob]

Geezo, Sam. Last night I was having a great round. We started on six and I got my first par on ten since I did it for your benefit. I was just about parring everything and keeping my birdies even with my bogeys (two each). Then on alt. 16 (between 20 and 21) Fletch stepped on a crooked 2 inch limb and it flip/rolled and barked my shin, taking me to the ground. The acute pain in my shin covered the fact that I had tweaked my back. All of a sudden, I couldn't do anything right. I went from even par to +5 in the last seven holes.

So today I'm jumping back on the tractor and bounding over the bumps to get the final mow complete, while Fletch is out murdering salmon (justifiable homicide if I get a steak).

Gotta go
Gotta mow

[Sam]

Man... that Fletch sure does play some dirty defense. You were beating him at the time, I imagine... :laughing:

[Ol' Bob]

You were beating him at the time, I imagine... :laughing:

That is a possibility.

I just said, 66 hours ago, on a tractor forum thread about mower deck tire failures, that I hadn't had a flat tire on the mower this year. I even said, "I hate to say it, but..." now a flat after less than three hours of the final mow before the Burner. That led to the discovery of seized bearings in two of the mower deck's wheels.

I friggin' NICED my mower deck! http://www.publicadvocate.com/board/images/smilies/slapface.gif

Fletch just returned -- no salmon.

[Fletch]

Fletch, I can bring a good basket. Innova Discatcher Pro: full-weight, double-chain, deep-basket, with portable base. But you will need to move it - it's heavy! :)

Thanks Gawain, I think we'll go with Gilby's since we only need two!

[Fletch]

I've got a bunch of baskets, Ill bring a Chainstar w/wheel, and a mach V w/wheel. Let me know if you need more.


Chris

Perfect!

Thanks Chris

There are 2 guys up in Seattle who aren't sure how they're getting down to the Burner. If you, or anyone you know, may be able to help these gentlemen, please contact Killa "k-i-l-l-a" via p.m. Thank you

thanks for helping my cause, Dan :bricks: :jumpspin:

[Ol' Bob]

In case anyone has forgotten, please don't bring any dogs.

[killa]

Nate and Jessie came through with a ride at the last minute -- thanks guys!

now, about that poker business... I have two nice plastic decks. what's the usual format? let's burn some ferns

[Fletch]

OK bad news for the hoppsters!

Fort George IPA fell through. In about 3 hours we will have Kona Longboard, Drop Top Amber, and Manny's Pale onsite with maybe tapping the Kona tonight.

Also, word is there are 2 more kegs on the property but their respective owners will need to be bribed in some fashion for the Vortex IPA and Stella.

The pasta dinner is on for about 7 or 8pm tonight at the cottage for $5. Haven't heard from Trojan Nation so unsure of the poker tourney status but if it happens, chances are it will be hold 'em $20 buy in.

Tee signs are onsite and will be going in the ground shortly!!!!!!!

Still spots left, PM or call the Inn(360-795-8770) ASAP if you want in!

Adam

[olydiscgolf]

Hittin' the road! Stoked for this one! (as always)

[Pizzel]

I am super stoked for tomorrow! It has been a few years since I last played the L.M.

[Bart]

Looks like we'll be rollin in there tomorrow morning instead of tonight. Things are never set in stone when you have a 1 yr. old. See you'all tomorrow...

[olydiscgolf]

What a weekend! Thanks so much to the Fletcher's and Ol' Bob! The course was in great shape, the food was amazing as always, the beer was cold and free flowing! Big congrats to Barrett, edging me out of the elusive glass trophy in a 4 hole playoff!


I can't wait until next year!

[SPIDER-DAN]

Sounds as though i missed a really good one chris. Even though you lost.......... Way to make him earn it!

[Sam]

I cannot believe I almost missed it...

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Another fantastic weekend in paradise. Adam, Sarah... you guys are simply IT. :cheers:
