THE SHOWDOWN II

* July 21st - 22nd, 2012

* Shelton Springs DGC, Shelton, WA

* PDGA sanctioned B-tier, Pro/AM event

Last years Open Champion was quoted as saying "you guys gave me too much money to play golf"! We already have a $1000 cash sponsor and we're looking to blow it up this year!

Info will be posted as it it finalized. Questions to chrisgilberts@msn.com or morganrothrock@gmail.com

[Rolly]

Definitely a must play. After last year, it will be hard to beat the experience, however, we have the right people in charge to put it over the top.. I will be counting down the days.. To quote last year, "It only keeps getting better!"

[Danni]

I'll post it on forums and I'm sure Whidbey's Disc Addiction will be there!

[Yardbird]

You can count on a large group of players from the West Sound.

Looking forward to playing a sanctioned Event at Shelton Springs.

[Kenny B]

Sweeeett!!

[emmarose]

damn damn damn! morgan... you promised y'all wouldn't conflict with worlds again this year... what the heck, homey?


... i know it's not all about me, but come on... can't everyone just work around my schedule anyway?

[Bullseye]

No kidding. What a total bummer. I've been wanting to play Shelton in a sanctioned event since my first (and only) trip up there!

Emma, the following weekend is the Aquafest Open in Lake Stevens. It's non sanctioned, but I think Cajun will give you an appearance fee of at least 2 bottles of fine Walla Walla red wine. :chug:

p.s. Shelton Springs and Mason County Disc Golf rocks! I am IN!

We have a hard enough time working around our own schedules! I hope you make the right decision and we see you in July!

[Bullseye]

We have a hard enough time working around our own schedules! I hope you make the right decision and we see you in July!

The right decision? A B-Tier at a great course in Washington... or a combined Pro/Am PDGA World Championships with over 800 players. Hmmm... Well, hopefully you guys run another event there this year, because this schedule conflict is a damned shame.

[LJ Jubner]

... Well, hopefully you guys run another event there this year...

The series hopes so as well.

We are looking for interested parties to TD series events at Shelton Springs, in Spokane, Seattle and On the Peninsula. Assistants in The Tri Cities and Walla Walla

Be a member in good standing within each respective club

hey now, this isn't about right & wrong, this is about me... :p

seriously, tho, given the opportunity to make it to another worlds i am sure you can understand my decision to make that happen. shelton is a very special place for me and was before y'all built a stellar disc golf course up there... some day the stars will align and i'll make it to an event...

p.s. cajun, lakestevens... thanks for the invites and enticing bribes... i am running low on argyles...

[Cajun]

p.s. cajun, lakestevens... thanks for the invites and enticing bribes... i am running low on argyles...

They're not bribes silly :nahnah:...its an appearance fee...for a true athlete & well spoken advocate for all things frisbee :cheerleader:...

Hmmm...will have to think of a way to up the offer....

[olydiscgolf]

If you liked the camping for the Showdown last year, your going to LOVE it this year!

We have reserved the group camp at Simpson Employee Rec Area on Mason Lake! Picture a private campground on Mason Lake with all of the amenities you can imagine! Hot showers, clean bathrooms, a huge covered shelter with power, water, charcoal grill, a huge fire pit, private boat launch, and all sites have electrical and water hook ups! All this and its only 10 mins from the course!


Camping will be available from Thursday the 19th of July, to Monday the 23rd.
Special thanks to Rex, for setting this up!

[Rideout]

That is fantastic!!!!

[ski2man]

god i can't wait for the second showdown. is there going to be any possible preregistration for mcdg members? I know this is rather selfish, but damn i don't want to miss our event.

[BIGARMBRANDON]

I think I just decided not to go to worlds thanks emma

[Big dawg 99]

And the camping sounds great,sign me up! worlds is much too far, i have played 5 on the east coast .It will run sombody about 1500 to 2000:slapface: Lets have fun at home this year:chug::trophy:

just reposting as I'm still wondering...also, any ideas on when registration will open for this bad boy? I'm way too excited to get my ars kicked.

I also noticed there is another tourny June 2nd for the WSS, will ours be sanctioned? I know riversides isn't...will that also be day-of sign up? I have heard no mention of it so I thought I'd ask on a thread that I know MCDGers should look at.

[Yardbird]

If it is anything like last year, Mason County Disc Golf members will get priority in preregistration and then it will open to all players after a week or so.

Stay posted for future announcements by the official TD's.

[olydiscgolf]

Registration will be opening on May 21st.

There will not be priority registration for MCDG members. There will be capped divisions. I encourage everybody to sign up early!

I will be posting details soon....


Glad to hear your going to be making the trip Emma..... I think you made the right choice!

... daaaannnnggg... word travels quick 'round the disc golf community!




... gotta be honest, tho, that the choice was made for me due to work related responsibilities and a stupid court case (that since has settled! i'm no longer being sued for $128,000! i don't have to go to court for three days!)... but, that being said, knowing that i was going to be able to go to shelton for the Showdown definitely helped lessen the sting of not being able to make it to Worlds... i mean, who wants to go to North Carolina in the middle of july anyway, right?



pretty stoked to get up there and meet the whole MCDGC crew and, in person, lavish my praise and appreciation and awe of your beautiful course on y'all and get to experience what i know will be an absolutely top notch, first class event...


yeeha!!!

[maco capo]

I think for the showdown, everybody should have there own theme music playing while they are walking up to the tee. Just like major league baseball or the WWE.

[emmarose]

... in my head.




i'm totally down with this idea.

[SPIDER-DAN]

How about celine dion "my heart will go on"....is that ok?

[olydiscgolf]

Well, unfortunately we will not be able to offer theme music for the players on the tee......

We will however, be able to offer final 9 skins worth $100 each!

Details to come....

[spanky11]

It's a raffle this year??? And not top 4 ams???

[emmarose]

How about celine dion "my heart will go on"....is that ok?

no, dan. that is not okay.

[maco capo]

I'm thinking rocket man by Elton John. But the William Shattner version

[Lund]

I'm thinking rocket man by Elton John. But the William Shattner version

Funny. thats the song and version I would have picked for you too, Capo.

How much time will we have for the intro song? I'm thinking medium pace by Adam Sandler but that one takes a little while to, um, unfold.

[Skookum]

Fly Like an Eagle
Bird on a Wire
Hit me with Your Best Shot
Chain of Fools
Working on the Chain Gang
Free Bird
or of course "U Can't Touch This" accompanied by the Hammer dance across the Tee Pad.

[TYVEK]

morgan, you need something that will accentuate your growls and shouts of fury that you like to release while playing. :whistler: a piece that helps you release the beast within. :biggrin2:

i know you hate emoticons sorry. i just needed something that says "im poking fun at you in a good natured way"




on a more serious note, a perfect song for Morgan would be Rhinestone Cowboy!! LOL

i can just see it now.

Okay ready... when does it open :) ??

[maco capo]

Hahahaha. One td is probably chasing a kid in diapers and the other one is still sleeping!

[TreeLove]

I just signed up successfully, thank you!

[olydiscgolf]

Hahahaha. One td is probably chasing a kid in diapers and the other one is still sleeping!

Diapers are changed.... registration is open....

[BAKE]

I have regesterd !!!!!

was thinking : Hypnotzie, Notorious B.I.G.
Killing in the name of, Rage against the machine
Click Click Boom, Saliva
Drop dead legs, Van halen

Capo, I think thats a great idea

[maco capo]

I think if we keep pestering the tds we have a shot at theme music. If not for on the course, how about the awards ceremony? "next up on the main stage, bake.". And then the stripper music ensues.

[olydiscgolf]

I already added $100 cash skins... I thought that would take your minds off the music. How about a brand new Chainstar Portable basket for the Adv. Men winner? Will that take your minds off of the music?

[Kenny B]

Yeah, I'm in!! :shooting:

[Kenny B]

Diapers are changed.... registration is open....

Wait...yours or his?? :laughing:

[EnigmaSquad]

I am in. My not so secret goal is to not come home with Bob the Builder.

[LakeStevensBA]

I just signed up but was unable to pay for the camping spot. I assume that was on purpose? Because of that, I am planning on sleeping in Gilberts kitchen.

[olydiscgolf]

BA you are always welcome in my kitchen!

Did you really have an issue paying for camping?

[Danni]

WOW look at that... before NOON on the first day of sign-ups it's already 30% FULL, nice!!


BTW, we paid for camping with no issues.

[Rideout]

I'm also curious - BA, did you have an issue paying for camping? Several players have already purchased a camping spot and no complications are showing on my end.

Wow - players have been chomping at the bit for this one.

Pro side has lots of space left, but I have already sold HALF the amateur spots available online!!!!

It's nice to see a Washington tourney in high demand. Well done MCDG, Chris Gilberts, & Morgan Rothrock... well done!!!

Thanks Mike, That means a lot coming from you!

Last years MPO winner was quoted "You gave me too much money for playing golf this weekend" If that isn't persuasion enough for the Pro players to sign up........ then we might have to reconsider theme music!

[LakeStevensBA]

I did have a problem with the camping section. I would select it, but when I checked out it would always say it wasn't selected. I hope it may be possible to pay for this on Friday? I have the bloody marys, so hopefully I am allowed in the campground.

well, with all this excitement i sure hope my dad got us signed up... that's right, chris gilberts... you don't just get one hanley... we're both coming! now, if only we could get david hanley (no relation) that would be way cool... but i heard he won't come unless he gets a theme song for sure... ;)

[TREX]

I have the bloody marys, so hopefully I am allowed in the campground.


I am running the campground here so ya, Bloody marys will get you in as far as I'm concerned =] :rockon:
Although Gilberts will prob still want some money hehe :bowing:

and a couple of bloody mary's

[Yardbird]

Who knows, the campground might sell out too.:cheers:

You better sign up soon.

[Rideout]

Half full in half a day!!!


BA - sorry about that. Hopefully this is an isolated glitch; I can't figure out a reason for that happening.

Has anyone else had any trouble with the online registration?


Just a reminder to those signing up for a pro division - the shirts are for amateurs only. It's not a big deal if you give a shirt size because there's no extra cost - just know you won't actually have a shirt waiting for you.

[Yardbird]

I registered this morning with camping option and had no problems.

Thanks for the great online service.:yay:

Mazza you should have one of those many sponsors pay your entry fee for you! As much as I hope you get to play, I'm hoping that we fill up before the day of. With only a handful of AM spots available it looks to be the case....

[Stimpi]

I definitely want to play this one, as I love this course, and it gave me my first ever Par 4 Eagle, and I thought I'd impose on some disc golf friends in the area, for accommodations, but with this camping setup, I'm thinking even the locals will be camped out.
Looking forward to it!

i can talk to them but my main sponsor just hands me cash to pay for the event

[Stimpi]

for accommodations, but with this camping setup, I'm thinking even the locals will be camped out.


Speaking of locals, I didn't sign up for camping. Is there a chance of campsites selling out? If so, I'd like to change my order to include a campsite, or pay when I get there on Friday.
What's the scoop?

[ski2man]

Pumped I got in! Make sure to post work parties on here or the work party threads and I'll be sure to come with weedwacker in hand if I'm in town. I have a to leave a couple times before then, but if you post it I will come!

That is rather field of dreams-ish eh? Shelton Springs is my field of dreams...but I digress.

[Mr. Anderson]

The nearest PDGA event on the same weekend as the Showdown is in Minnesota. If you cannot afford to buy a plane ticket to North Carolina and play in worlds I guess you could consider the Showdown "West Coast Worlds". Should be fun.

[Getty]

No Pro GM division?!?!? Show us old coots some love! And Stimpi...my gittar is coming along.

[olydiscgolf]

Plenty of love! Unfortunately, we are limited by space. We had to pick our divisions carefully to be able to offer something for everybody.

We have plenty of room in the camground. I will be able to take cash payment day of, and Morgan can except debit and credit transactions.

[olydiscgolf]

PDGA registration updated from yesterday. I will try and update again tonight.

The amature field is down to only a few spots left, so don't hesitate......

yes todd we will have a few work partys, I will post time and dates......

[mazza]

well if there's no room for me in MA1 then i guess i can try my hand at open

[FISH]

No Getty, It's not Panda for dinner. We're having Sockeye again this year. Panda tends to dry out to much when you BBQ it. Unless you know of a great marinade that would keep it moist.

Hey Rich

I don't show any transactions made by you yesterday. Please check your records to make sure your order was placed.

If your records show a transaction was made - please call or email me and I will get to the bottom of this right away.

Do you have to be a registered player to enter in the long drive comp.?

[olydiscgolf]

No, If you wanna come stretch out your arm, you are welcome to. Its more of a bragging rights thing.....

[Yardbird]

Where is all the open players?

Is there going to be a cap on the amatuer side? IMHO, there shouldn't be.

Once 72 players are registrared, then the event is full. If that means only 10 open players get in, then so sad for the late attempt to get in.

Of course, that is a decision for the TDs to make to fit their target market.

[Skookum]

We are holding Open spots, but not for long. We will x-fer Pro spots over to AM spots 4-8 spot a week and pulling of the AM wait list to fill them. PM olydiscgolf to get on wait list or email him at chrisgilberts@msn.com.

[spanky11]

i extremely happy that i checked this post today, otherwise i would miss out on this event. i am glad i checked it out and took one of the last spots.

anyways, can raffles be purchased day of? like at Aloha? didnt have the money now and i want about $50-60 worth. so im hoping i can buy some later?

thanks

please continue holding for the girls... i am doing my very best to bring a few gals with me so i can actually have a division... otherwise i guess i'll have to play advanced grandmaster with my dad since there's no intermediate division offered... but that would be kinda cool...

There is no WAY you could possibly qualify for Advanced Grandmasters - CHECK HER ID! :nono: :cop: :nahnah: ;)

Just kiddin' ya. As an option, perhaps, if it was OK with the TD, you could enlist in an allowed division of your choice, even if unopposed, but then be grouped with a suitable card (hopefully mine! ) from another division. I have seen it done at PDGA events in the past, most often by women.

[BAKE]

Thanks Mike and Chris for helping me get regestrtion handled (dint push the right buttons)

[emmarose]

There is no WAY you could possibly qualify for Advanced Grandmasters - CHECK HER ID! :nono: :cop: :nahnah: ;)

Just kiddin' ya. As an option, perhaps, if it was OK with the TD, you could enlist in an allowed division of your choice, even if unopposed, but then be grouped with a suitable card (hopefully mine! ) from another division. I have seen it done at PDGA events in the past, most often by women.

but i feel old, gawain... ;)




however, rumour has it carie "hulk smash plastic" coleman gonna come and play...


... zoe andyke... you're next on my list...

[Danni]

I heard the plastic for this years showdown is off the chain

I've heard the theme and logo for the tournament is pretty sick!

I've also been working with Chris to design a custom "trophy disc" for the long drive Champion(s)... loads of great things happening, is it July yet??!?!!

Chris is also allowing me, to once again, do ON THE SPOT custom dye discs at tournament central. If you'd like to pre-order a disc (especially if it's a new design or a COLOR disc) please PM me. Or you can look over some of my current designs at www.DiscAddiction.com I won't have time to do an "unlimited" number of discs, so please see me EARLY saturday, or even at the campsite friday to arrange for your dye job, THANKS!

Hey Chris can you do me a favor? We have a person here on the island that said they have a receipt for payment to the tournament, but I don't see him on the list (Ryan Lange) can you see if he got overlooked maybe?

THANK YOU!

Half full in half a day!!!

Hopefully this is an isolated glitch; I can't figure out a reason for that happening.

Has anyone else had any trouble with the online registration?



Had some issues last night with camping.. I was hoping to pay day of or prior to the tourney.. I signed up without camping just to ensure I got my spot.. No worries, but I would be bummed not to camp with the rest of the players.. Let me know if there is something I can do, or someone to talk with to help resolve this..If not, well Chris, then it's me and BA in the kitchen. I cook, he cleans:yay: I'll bring you a bottle of fine whiskey to boot:chug:

Also, regarding the skins... At the Aloha there was bit of issue. So, hypothetically, If my status is an AM player (No cash accepted/ Open events played before) and I am paying open for this tourney, and I DO NOT make the 4 spots. Will I still be eligible to enter the raffle?

Thank you Chris Gilberts and MCDGC. Always a pleasure and honor to play your events.

Yes Rolly, You can pay for camping the day of. I do have some cute little maid costumes for you an BA, so maybe be thinking about that diet....

The skins will not affect an Am's status in any way. The tourney is over before the skins starts, the skins is just a side game.

[Mr. Anderson]

I think Rolly is wondering if he is playing Open and he is not one of the top four, can he still buy raffle tickets?

[olydiscgolf]

The raffle is open to anybody and everybody.

[Rolly]

I think Rolly is wondering if he is playing Open and he is not one of the top four, can he still buy raffle tickets?

Yes, and no..

I suppose a better way to ask this question would be this. Are Open players (Those that didn't qualify top 4) allowed to buy raffle tickets? And if not, what can be done about making sure none do.

My question relates to an issue that happened at Aloha this year.
It was billed and advertised as top 4 open players and 4 AM players (chosen by raffle) 9 hole skins.

The first place winner in Open picked a raffle winner than was actually a Open Grandmasters player and winner in his respected division. They cleaned up winning 8 of 9 skins. $130x8= $1010/2= $505 each player.

Correct me if I'm wrong with that info..

I like the format, I think Shelton is a great place to showcase these talents too. Just don't want to see that happen again.

[Rolly]

The raffle is open to anybody and everybody.

Boom, to the point.. Thanks Chris..

[Danni]

The raffle is open to anybody and everybody.


I agree that REALLY changes the dynamics of skins if by chance 2 pros end up together.

Stay Tuned !!

[LakeStevensBA]

Todd Bates wants to know if you will be giving trophies out for 8th place in Adv Masters. I told him I wouldn't think so, and that maybe he should just not suck so much. If you do have an extra trophy, can you just put "participant" on it and give it to Todd? He still has a lot of those from his little league days.

thanks,
Todd's friend....Brian

First of all does this mean you have reached the agreed upon amount?

Second what we talked about was theme music for Top 3 trophy winners in each division to be played as they get their trophy. In which case they can get it to me Saturday night if they are "in the hunt"

Third my clippers are ready when you are E-Rose. I'm thinking Liberty Spikes...

Thanks to Chef Terry Surratt, it will probably be the best Salmon many of us have ever eaten! And thanks to John Arrant, owner of Giannis Cucina, for donating use of his kitchen. And one more special thanks to Perrisa Grey for making her "not quite famous, but pretty well known" baked mac n' cheese.

Oh baby, it was spectacular last year.. We as players got it so good at the Showdown. I think last year it was something like: maple syrup, dijon mustard and dill marinate. So good I keep trying to create it at home without much success.THANK YOU TO ALL VERY MUCH FOR THE HARD WORK AND EFFORT.

I noticed that 5 of the 16 Open players are Juel Park Alumni too, a note worthy statistic. Hopefully one of us will slip into the skins match to represent. OR hold down the bottom 1/3. :wink2:

[olydiscgolf]

It looks like the winner of the Advanced Men division will be taking home a brand new fire orange Bentley portable basket! All other AM divisions will be walking away with an Innova Disc Catcher Sport portable basket!

Thanks to Kevin David and Package Express with helping us acquire the highly sought after Bentley! Thanks to the West Sound Disc Golf Association for supplying us with one of the Discatcher Sport baskets!

[SheilaT]

Our big hiking trip got cancelled, so I guess I'll add myself to the massive waitlist. Here's to wishful thinking!

thank you for asking... i thought about last time i was up there with my dad... there's no way we can fit everyone into that tiny parking lot and there are CLEARLY no parking signs on the sides of the road (which it appears no one really pays any attention to, but i personally wouldn't be comfortable tempting fate and the local law like that).

Played shelton springs today and the course is looking very good. Several members were out there getting things done and i have to give a big thank you to the mason county disc golf club especially the ones hard at work to make sure the course is prime.

Question about the camping spot.

Google maps points to some trees just off the side of the road. I see what looks to be a shelter, dock and open area just south of what google points too. I'm guessing that is the spot, but want to be sure because we are headed down thursday and want to set up in an appropiate place.

Thanks

The area we will be using is Group Camp #2. There are signs to get you to the group camp once you're in the park. The gate will be locked, and the key code is #1212.

There will be signs along the way from the course to camping and vice versa.

The city has allowed us to use the field West of the course (look for signs) to park in. Please be respectful of the area.

The city has allowed us to use the open field accross the street from Shelton Springs DGC for event parking. Look for signs and please be respectful.
Please do not park on the street!

Whoa whoa whoa. I never said such a thing. Keep it up and those breakfast sandwiches will turn into burnt toast and sour milk.
On a side note, I started eating chili 2 days ago and there's no lookin back!

[olydiscgolf]

I'm heading up to the course and campground. I won't be available to answer anymore PM's or questions here, so if you need something (360) 359-5206 (text's work great).

I'll be on-sight dying discs... if you would like a design other then the ones I have at www.DiscAddiction.com please feel free to IM me and I'll see what I can do about getting your design ready before we head to Shelton tomorrow!

If you want to be sure to get your disc dyed we WILL be camping, so look for Tim and I friday night.

I'll be able to do a limited number of discs on sight over the weekend, BUT if you can "part" with your disc for the week between I'll be at Aquafest and you can pick up any unfinished (or colored ) disc there.

Remember I can ONLY do black disc on-sight, but I can do a variety of colors if you let me take the disc(s) home.

We're looking forward to seeing everyone at Shelton again this year!!

i have a pink champ spider that i would love a sexy wonderwoman sillouhette dye on. i don't have much dyed plastic... and i need the disc for the tournament... any chance i could have it done on saturday night at the player's party?

I won't be able to do anything AT the players party since it requires a fair amount of equipment to do a disc on sight, BUT I might be able to do it during your lunch break one of the days... I sent you a PM too!!

Thanks for the interest, I hope we can get it worked out for you... I love it when people want new art!!:kissflowers:

Never, and I mean ever listen to anything Troy says and only half of what Chris says for that matter.

[emmarose]

lesson learned. one might have assumed i would know better considering it was like 3 o'clock in the morning and we had all been drinking ourselves silly for the last several days previous... ah, well. hope my dad likes surprises.

[Skookum]

So just in case you are thinking about pulling out of the tournament at the last minute I thought you might like to know that:

The combined open payout is $3,700 (This total does not include skins round)

1st MPO - $700 (field of 16)
1st MPM - $500 (field of 8)
1st FPO - $300 (field of 4)

And of course the top 4 scores from Open players for the weekend will receive a random partner via a raffle for 9 hole Double Drive Alt Shot Skin worth $100 a hole. (after the 60/40 Pro/Am split a sweep in skins could potentially net the MPO winner a grand total of $1,300.)

FYI We are taking care of our Ams as well so no pulling out of that side of the tournament either.

Courses looks amazing, Trophies look heavy, Payouts look fat, Kegs look full and cold. Salmon looks red. Weather looks, well, cooperative (hey, it's Washington that's as good as it gets.)

I am excited for "Mason County" to host the 2012 Showdown not just the club but really this local community is giving us so much support it feels more like a county wide effort than just our small band of hard working hillbillies.

Now where did I leave my bugle......

To add to the offerings this weekend..

If you're having a disc dyed by Danni this weekend, or maybe if thats not you're thing - then maybe you'd also like to pick up some collector disc golf posters. If all goes well, and we're not in a thunderstorm thunderdome event - Hopefully I'll be at a West Sound Disc Golf Association tent during the lunch break with a portfolio of 12x18 high quality art poster prints I'll be offering personally. Some inventory with all the events so far in the West Sound Challenge series, including...

plus, some older events including some past Whiners posters.

$10 ea (tax incl.) and you can take it away in a clear plastic sleeve tube so it can get home safe. Limited to my inventory on hand.

And we should have entry forms available for this years Whiners in the Woods III:West Sound Championships Hit up myself, Sam H., Kenny B, or Brian J.

BAKE!!!!
I left my poster in your truck...damn I suck. I can't believe how much stuff you hold for me. Sorry dude. Can you hold on to it? Any chance of getting it at the next tourny? Or perhaps you'll play this week sometime?

I just realized how funny my last three posts sound together :)

[Big dawg 99]

I want to give a great big shout out to the Mason Co. club.
There is nothing i would change about this weekend.
You folks made alot of disc golfers very,very,very happy!
One of the best disc golf events i have ever been a part of.
Chris you and your crew roc. The N.W. should stand up and applaud your efforts and outcome.
Lunch was one of the best! where do you get Salmon,salad,and pink lemonaid cup cakes? In shelton thats where! Dont forget dinner at the group camp.
And some good :chug::chug::chug::cheers::cheers::cheers:
I just want to know where do i sign up to be part of your club.:rockon

P.S. can i sign up for next year early? I wont tell anybody i promise.:whistler:

ALL I CAN SAY IS JOB WELL DONE!!!!!!!!:bowing::bowing::bowing:

Thank you all . BIG DAWG

[maco capo]

That was fun. Thanks to all the players, volunteers and tds. Awesome weekend!

[ski2man]

so i heard there were 3 aces on saturday. anyone able to tell me where, which tees? also, where there any today (sunday)?

[Danni]

WOW, where do I start? I guess at the top...

First I want to say what an amazing job (again) the MCDG club has done to that course and the event known as the showdown!

Of course a huge pat on the back goes to Chris Gilbert for all he (and his wife do) and I'm still awe struck at the job Morgan does with his LIGHTSPEED scoring!!

The course was stunning

The payouts were amazing!

The camping was 4 stars

and the sponsors were generous!!

On a personal note I want to thank all of those that came over to me with interest in my disc dyeing... it's always a fun event for me because of the PLAYERS!

Finally a HUGE thanks to Kyle Crabtree for winning $600 worth of skins with my husband, Tim Baugher *Yammits*, so we actually came out ahead on a disc golf weekend that takes 5 hours to drive to and 1.5 tanks of gas to attend :yay:

Until next year Shelton...

[Lund]

I said it at the players party last night but I think its worth repeating. The combination of the killer courses themselves and their condition, the best food I have ever seen served at a tournament (by a long shot), the flawless organization and the flow, the scoring updates as the cards came in, the huge payout and added cash, the campground with more food, the parties....

The Mason County crew and the Shelton Showdown have absolutely raised the bar for what I would consider a top-notch event and weekend. I had a blast.

If I were to play 2 events per year it would be the BSF in Oregon and the Shelton Showdown in WA.

Thanks MCDGC. Sleep well tonight!

[Rideout]

What a great weekend!!! Course looked great, played smooth, and there were plenty of spotters out there for all those who sailed off the fairway. Well done Chris, Morgan, and MCDG crew!!!

Personally I have never played as well as I did on Saturday. Not only did I have my highest rated round ever, but I put two (unofficial) four digit round ratings together in one day.

I don't know what to be the most tickled about: my golf, the great course, the great organization, or that simply superb mac n cheese.

I can't wait for next year!!!

Mike

Lundy, it was a real pleasure to play with you this weekend!

And You beat me to the punch. I think the highest compliment I can give to Gliberts, Morgan and all the hard working MCDG crew is this: If I were only going to be able to play in one tourney a year it would the Showdown in Shelton.:cheers:

[Yammits]

I will continue the heaping of praise onto everyone at MCDGC and especially Chris Gilberts/Morgan Rothrock, the best one/two punch TD combination in the state. I could not have possibly had a better weekend, played some of my best golf ever, (highest rated round ever on saturday) won $600 dollars of skins with Crabtree, got tons of people newly dyed plastic thanks to my wife Danni, tirelessly dyeing discs as she has become so proficient at, and just overall got to spend two plus days with lots of people I really enjoy being around. You guys deserve every ounce of kudos you've received, it can't be said enough how great this event is, and I could easily see it becoming a National Tour event somewhere down the road, that's the level MCDGC can attain with Shelton Springs. I can't wait for next year, thank you so much!!

[guitodd]

Wow!!!! What an awesome weekend. My gut hurts from all the laughing we did. Oh and from gorging myself on the endless supply of killer grub. That mac and cheese was TOP notch. Best ive ever had from a white man. B.A. even said it went down real nice with all the CROW he was eating. Next year I will supply B.A. with the custom tee shirt. Frisbee Golfer?!
Gilby, you and your crew are top notch.You guys did it all. I hope you guys continue to do this kind of stuff for years to come. MCDG, great group of guys, be proud of yourselves on a job well done.

[SPIDER-DAN]

I AM TRYING TO THINK OF A BETTER DISC GOLF WEEKEND AND I CAN NOT. THE COURSE ITSELF IS AMAZING WITH BOTH FUN AND TOUGH FAIRWAYS THAT CHALLENGE YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. THE TEEPADS AND TEE SIGNS ARE ABSOLUTELY SECOND TO NONE!!!

I SAID IT BEFORE....I AM PROUD TO BE A MEMBER OF THE MASON COUNTY DISC GOLF CLUB EQUALLY TO THAT OF PIERCE COUNTY WHICH HAS BEEN MY HOME FOR 18 YEARS OF DISC GOLF.

$500 FOR FIRST PLACE MASTERS IS MY BIGGEST PAYOUT YET AND THE ACE ON HOLE 13 RED HELPS A LITTLE TO. EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO SO WELL I WAS WONDERING IF I ACCIDENTLY SOLD MY SOUL TO YOU KNOW WHO.

GOT TO GIVE IT UP TO LONNIE AND THE AMAZING SETUP HE HAD IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK FOR SCRIPT..........I JUST WANTED TO MOVE IN THERE WAS SO MUCH PLASTIC.............:drool:

DEFINTELY BE THERE NEXT YEAR!!!

[Stimpi]

I don't usually chime in, after an event, because I usually have a great time at all of them, but... the consensus is... this was an extraordinary event in all ways, and I agree completely. Run on time, like a Swiss train, great eats and drink, and courses, and the whole scene itself.
It was worth the trip from Spotucky, and I suspect you'll see more Eastsiders next year, when they hear about how fine this year was.
Stimpi

[emmarose]

wow. wow wow wow.


you want to be treated like a princess? come to the showdown.



i'll have my blog up in a couple of days and will post a link here and then you will know how i really feel... my only regret is that at the awards ceremony i talked too much and too loudly to actually hear my theme music playing...


i love MCDG.

[LakeStevensBA]

my only regret is that at the awards ceremony i talked too much and too loudly to actually hear my theme music playing..

It sounds like you "Gilby'ed" it.....



Hey Mason County, you guys put on a great tourney on an awesome course. Sweet player's pack, incredible salmon lunch, and a party I have a hard time remembering. Campground was so fun I ended up spending Sunday night there too (despite camping between Todd Bates and Gawain).

Shelton Rocks! See you next year!

Brian Anderson
Frisbee Golf Participant

[olydiscgolf]

First off, thank you everybody for the sentiment. It sounds like everybody had a good time at the Showdown!

I have to give a BIG THANK YOU to everybody that helped out this year, especially Co TD Morgan, he really is the man behind the scenes that makes it all happen, Bake Baker, the most dedicated person I have ever met, and Chris Auseth, the guy with the resources. These guys are extremely dedicated to Mason County Disc Golf and if it wasn't for them, there wouldn't be an amazing course there, let alone a tourney.

A BIG THANK YOU to all of the volunteers that spent a LOT of time on getting the course ready and a lot that came the day of to help spot, cook, take pictures, and set up/ break down TC.

A BIG THANK YOU to Rex and Perissa Grey for the camping setup and the players party on Saturday night. Terry Surratt for cooking up all that salmon that Ray and Jay Rothrock donated.

And one more BIG THANK YOU to our sponsors and the City of Shelton, WA. They gave of their resources and bank accounts to help make this a success.



We have completed the TD report and it should be part of the next update.
Here are the results and payouts http://www.pdga.com/tournament_results/79229


See ya next year at The Showdown!








PS We will be starting another thread for the Showdown III real soon, so keep your eyes peeled!
