will the ssa be the same as last year?

Historically, the SSA for the Fairgrounds course is 50.

I'm in talks with the club about using a temp basket on hole 18 to make it longer (~80') to drastically reduce the number of birdies on that hole.

Also, I would like to permanently move the basket on hole 11 (30' longer). I've been discussing possible course changes with the WSDGA.

I'll predict the ratio for ratings points per throw to be 10.

I was trying to calculate what I should throw there
Using my new guestamated rating numbers, and last years round ratings

you should throw your controllable discs. there is not alot of wiggle on the course for shots that go places you didnt intend for them to go. hehe, ya i know you are trying to predict your score, but dont worry about your score so much. bring your controlled accuracy game and your score will work out fine. that course is made up of 75% shrubs/trees/rough, and 25% fairway!! (insert slight exageration)

with that being said, i love the course, i always have fun playing the fairgrounds.

I cant help it, I enjoy stats, and calculating stuff (read over thinking).
just to support my wifes' theory, of me being some high-bred combo of A.D.D. and O.C.D.

the suspense is killing me

[Yardbird]

The match-up part is done.

Just back from a full day of skiing. I'll try to get the scoring sheets up later tonight. You'll just have to wait a little bit longer.

[Yardbird]

Hot off the press. The scoring sheets have been posted for the upcoming TDG Event at the Kitsap Fairgrounds.

Captains, please print a copy of the scoring sheet to record your team's results. Open the file and select current page to only print your teams' scoring sheet.

Thanks,
TDG Staff

Man, you are like a bunch of elves that work while I sleep
Thank you very much, for all the hardwork you put into this!

[Yardbird]

I just spent a couple of hours after work today grooming the Fairgrounds course for TDG this weekend. BTW, the course is looking better than ever.

The new "long" pin is in for Hole 18 (60 feet longer).

Also, we cleared a new gap at the mouth of the woods for Hole 17 to allow a new longer tee pad by the trail to from the road crossing (approx 100feet longer than the concrete tee and will be a true par 4).

I'm going to estimate the SSA at 51/52.

[DMajor]

Suttle course changes sound pretty nice. Keep up the good work Sam!

[matt]

i am ready

[matt]

Tough go for Team Oly. The weather was great, and the course looked great too.

Thanks again to the players that helped carry all the full garbage bags to the parking lot after the second round.

The WSDGA would like the hear any comments on the two new course improvements (a long tee on 17 and the deeper 18 basket placement)?

So far, everyone liked the new pin placement on 18 and the complaints on the long 17 tee were expected and will be addressed to make the tee location a more viable option to reward a good golf shot to reach the perferred landing zone in the woods fairway.

The round ratings will be posted Monday night. I spent to much time reviewing the cards and score sheets. There were multiple scorecards with no score totals or wrong scores and score sheets that were incorrect.

A few the Team Captains will need to be hung.

had a good time yesterday. the course looked GREAT! thanks to everybody that helped get the course ready for play! i have a couple comments for the course changes.
#17- not a bad change, BUT i think that the removal of 2-3 smaller trees in the opening would really make it a GOOD hole. with the number of small trees in the opening it came down to "luck" to get through them. im sure the really good players could actually get their discs thru the small gaps, but hey not all of us are of the Pro caliber.

#18- no complaints, i liked the basket farther back.

one other comment, on the first hole you play after crossing the street (the anhyzer shot). the tee pad is raised up off of the ground, and it has been that way for all the years i have played the course. i would love to see that tee pad get some sort of backfilling or a wider box around it with gravel surrounding the teepad, so that we are not stepping/falling on or off the actuall tee pad.
