Rnd#1 @ lakewood
 

its coming up quickly

im looking at the dgcr page for lakewood and it looks like #1 and #9 are out over water
my question is how far is it to dry land?
my noodle arm is nervous just thinking about having to shoot out over it

Last I heard two of the water holes (Hole #9 and #10) had been taken out at the end of November. I am not sure what will be replacing them. It is possible that #9 and #10 will be played with temporary baskets. In that case, if you can throw 230 and play safe, you should stay dry. Hole #1 the carry is even shorter, but if there has been a recent wet spell before you get to play the shoreline can change drastically (~20' ). Good Luck!

other than that, i think im ready

matt, have you been up to play lakewood before?? if not i am looking for ANY good reason/excuse to go play before we start team golf so let me know if you want to go up there.

i have never been there
lets go i am ready, just say the word

today is no good for me, but either tommorrow or friday would work just fine. what day and time would work best for you? i dont have to work until jan 2nd so i am pretty open for the next week or so.

pm sent

tomorrow it is
anyone else?

i dug out a beast, an archangel, and a nuke
if they go swimming i dont mind

Thanks for the tour gentleman, nice to meet you, sorry you could not stay, Mr. Anderson

Now I am ready to go

as for the water, its the trees, not the distance!

And the rest of the course, if I can remember to take the elevation changes into account, I will be ok.

is it always this quiet around here, this close to the start of team golf?
I figured there would be a little more "we are going whip your butt" going on
I cant really say much, because I dont know anyone well enough to really stir things up
plus all my sarcasm and dry sense of humor always gets lost in type

looking forward to it
but, please go easy on me kitsap
just remember i havent even been playing a year yet, i guess is what im saying

what i mean by this is ^^^
i am hoping to get some guidance and mentoring from you seasoned, more advanced players, in a competitive yet also casual (non tournament) fun environment.
and i ask for your patience as i am learning to play this great game

can wait to get started, matt

Matt,
I suggest trying to play a few rounds with Chris Gilberts. He is a very patient mentor in the game of disc golf. By playing a few rounds with him, I have learned how to talk while others are putting, opening "beverage" cans while others tee off, and how to laugh at you and not with you during the round. If he is not around to play with, Todd Bates can also be available to provide positive guidance.

Well said BA, and thank you. I would like to mention a couple of key points of my mentoring strategy that you forgot; A 4 or better means sign the basket. Make sure all benches have a "disc charger". And most important, never pay to park at Blue Lake.

And back to your regular programming...


The SSA for Lakewood is going to be right around 50-51. We will use 10 Rating Points/ Stroke for the handicap.

The scoring sheets for the Lakewood Event are now posted on the website.

Any questions on how a Player's Handicap was derived can be answered in person at the Lakewood Event.

I'll have all the proof that I used in determining the Players' Handicaps with me at Lakewood.

Go West Sound

We probably don't have to worry about me out throwing my rating.

Kudos and Ideas for the season
 

Thanks Sam for getting this up and running. The new form looks great. I predict your data entry time will reduce by 40%.
