Since I played in the final 10 I wasn't able to do nearly as much photography as I usually do but I did take PICTURES of my group during the finals and caught the lead card toward the end of their round as well.

I still haven't seen a rattlesnake at four mound, hope to someday. Did see a wild Turkey flying down from the top of one of the mounds while we were milling about up there. The pygmy nuthatches are still nesting in the dead tree by Jumanji's hole 25 teepad too. Beautiful weather all weekend made the tourney a real pleasure to play.
Cheers, Eric

thanks for the pictures, ERic. You got some great ones.

Thanks to all who helped out and made this event possible! And thanks for the upcoming video, that is awesome and much appreciated. I know I'm not technically a local, but given that my first PDGA event, first PDGA open event, first PDGA cash, and first PDGA A-Tier win all came at Four Mound, I think I half-count. Plus I'm on Team Stimp

Courses were much improved since I'd seen 'em last. Nice shootin' to all. Thanks again for the great weekend, I'll be back!

Of all the times I've hoped someone would do this for us you're the one to finally come through. I can't wait to see how it ends.

I'd say more local than some of our locals. You are well loved in Spokane, I sure treat you like a local! By the by, that Summer Honey was delicious. Sucks I can't play Zoo Town but it's awesome that one of my favorite libations supports Zoo Town. Next time, bring more beer

Yeah, well, I can tell you that I was trying to get three camera's all filming. I couldn't get a hold of the other two people that were going to film. Pretty much was trying to make a professional, dvd quality video of Spokane disc golf in full swing. Best part being we just let the camera roll the whole time so we got a lot of off color stuff that, of course, will not be making the final presentation.

The Country Cup will be filmed with at least three high def camera's. Hopefully by then I have enough money to get each of my friends a couple of extra battery packs so we can film all the rounds and the finals!

By the way Gordy, it ends with a putt. Much like all tournaments. Thought you would of known that

Any progress ever get made on this LCO video?

[General Scales]

Yeah I am currently buying another video card as trying to convert it from my hi def camera to my old computer keeps crashing the thing. It does look great however, especially some of the tee shots off the top of the rock and you playing from the water on the second to last hole.

The most impressive things on that video are as follows. The 18 year old from B'ham throwing that crazy side arm hyzer that planted 30 feet from the basket. Feldbergs diving putt through the tree's to save par. And of course, your birdie on the last hole to seal the deal.

Didn't get to go to country cup however as I was stuck working so no Hi Def video there. We are planning on doing it all over again at the Farragut Open where I will make sure to have at least two camera's running on all shots. Hopefully I can get three or more and cover all angles on all the shots. I'll keep you posted Christian

Any chance you could make it to the Global Event?!? August 20th, High Bridge DGC
I would be happy to run a camera or find others who will help.

I believe that I am going to be playing at the Global so I would say yes, I will make it to the event. My buddy Casey is actually the one who ran the camera the last time. I have a few friends with some really nice hi def camera's so the more the merrier.

Schrack, are you going to be at the Vader Challenge? If so we will figure out a game plan there.

Peace
