Sorry to hear about your problems with Revo. Sadly, you are just the latest in a long line of dissatisfied customers. They may have a quality product, except for the dual pack imo, but their customer service and communication are nothing short of awful.

On a brighter note, the tourney sounds awesome! I have only played FS once, but I absolutely loved it. The two layouts that I played (SW/NE or SE/NW?) definitely had their own flavor, but I really enjoyed them both. I'll be seeing you next year when after I get to know the courses a little better (and when I'm not totally tapped out after 3 A-Tiers).

Best of luck!

His product is excellent, but I will not put myself into a position again where I’m relying on him to be punctual or even informative.

Anyway, I do appreciate the deal REVOLUTION did give and I’m happy I will receive bags before the tourney.

REVOLUTION is sending me 55 bags (was expecting to have 100 ready to receive printing on the 17th). A few have been promised to volunteers, so I’ll probably have around 50 for the 72 amateur players. I have put together a contact list for the first 45 amateur players that have signed up. If you are one of those first 45, you should receive an email soon, if not, contact me. There are other things I have available for player’s packs and those on the list of the first 45 amateur players will get to choose whether they want one of the bags or one of the other products I have available. Every amateur signing up from here on out will get their choice of player’s pack in the order they signed up.

Man, Steily is looking fantastic right now. Fairways are getting freshly mowed and the sun is finally coming out a little. Lots of info will be coming soon.

That might just be enough to help!!

Mike,
just wondering if the layout to the southeast and/or northwest courses are going to be changed for the fso. I keep seeing some stakes out on the southeast course and cant help but think those may be alternate basket placements.

For example is hole 3 going to be over the road with some ob making is an island? Is hole 13 going to be moved about 60 feet further and to the left of the orginal placement?

Just like to be a little more prepared if there will be changes.

[Rideout]

By the end of the day today –

I should have both courses completely flagged. I will put a flag on each tee pad with the course initials & hole number. I will also put a flag on each basket or temp location with the course initials & hole number.

The hole number will follow the map. These holes are organized differently than normal – so make sure you use the map. The course specs will explain all necessary details for each hole.

Map

I just adjusted the course specs. Sorry, I hope not too many of you have already printed a copy. I changed the info on SE 6. I took out all the weird ob rules and simplified it to be a little more uniform. I hope this ends up creating less confusion in the long run.

Course Specs

A flagged stake with ribbons will be in the location of the basket position.

The SE course looks epic. Can't wait for this weekend. Thanks for posting the maps and course info beforehand and for all your hard work Mike. Nice talking to you Sunday at the BSF.

After getting the thumbs up from the Pierce County Disc Golf Club, I'm pleased to announce that

Jay & Des Reading will be taking over the Fort Steilacoom Dubs on Thursday night!!!!

Jay & Des will be giving a free clinic to sharpen up your skills at about 5:00. This should last about an hour and then they'll host a random dubs at the course.


More details will be coming soon.

So My girlfriend and I are driving up from Portland late Friday afternoon. Im playing advanced and she has to sit this one out with a sprained ankle. We are looking for camping recommendations, friendly locals willing to put us up for two nights, or a yard to set up a tent (maybe with bathroom and kitchen privileges).

What are other out-of-towners doing? Haven't seen any discussion on this.

Thanks for any help. -Aaron

this is awesome, Mike. so THAT's what you were waiting to talk to Jay about when I saw you sunday at the Fling...

were they planning on coming up for FSO anyway or did you talk them into it on the spot, you sly dog?

Are dubs still on for Friday or just Thursday?

[Rideout]

Yes, BYOP dubs will still be going on Friday.

[Rideout]

I made an adjustment to the course specs. The link on the earlier post will go to the correct course specs now too.

The only change was made to SE 6. I simplified it by taking out the weird ob rules.
