Default The Memorial; first NT of 2009
There are 5 Deaf Discers registered for this event including myself and the 2008 Deaf National champ, oh man am i so pumped for this one. Am sure you know how hard it is to just get Robinhood and myself to go to a Oregon series event as compared to a NT event! whoo whoo...
Who from oregon is going? I remember that Dion was trying to go to this one as a Discraft player??

This is a very fun tournament and a great way to start the season. I wish I were going; unfortunately, I will be in the middle of a big project at work and can't make it this year. *cry*

curious, for those who have played both trojan tournament format and the two courses for the memorial, which course are you most likely to lose the most discs?

It is the bomb event! I played it last year and had a blast. My wife and I rented a house in Fountain Hills and we are both playing it this year.
I never lost a disc at Vista, but you can. I lost a couple at Fountain, by making throwing errors. You don't have to lose discs. It is totally risk reward and I would say that OB is really more the concern. They tighten the fairways and pins are often protected by OB and difficult come backers.
It is truly a great event. I recommend that you play both courses ahead of time. I have never played Trojan, so I can't be helpful there.

Go Oregon!

If smo goes and plays Trojan this weekend he won't have any disc's left to play the Memorial.

well, what if he decides to snorkel for lost discs, he might leave with more discs than he arrived with.... by the way my gator on tournament 2 and viking on tournament 15 are still less than 5 feet from shore, look for me?

Sean,

You registered as an Amateur, and I think you are the highest rated. I think with your game you would have much rather liked playing in Pro.

I would much rather take Vista twice instead of Fountains twice!!!

Good luck though and maybe you can do what Eric Wilson managed to do in 2004, and bring the trophy back to Oregon!

and what Jay almost did in 2005,

And what Justin and the crew in 2007 almost did

We will be waiting!!!!!

I have heard horror stories about Fountain hills... like don't get the spray from the fountain on you... oh yeah and avoid the LAKE...

Anyone else have any idea how the course plays?

Definitely Trojan. You might lose a disc or two at the fountain, but it's no where near as much of a disc eater as Trojan.

Oh, and sign a big "hello" to my buddy Tan Nguyen while you're down there, Nate. (I'm trying to convince him to come play the Beaver State, so push him about it a little for me )

Yo you know Tan? that is so cool, yeah i talk with him often, I am defnitely trying to get them to come to both the Beaver State Fling and ODDGC. ODDGC happens the weekend after BSF. So its gonna be tough if they have to make a choice on one weekend only cuz ODDGC is gonna be hugee in terms of a regional Deaf tournament.
Anyways back on topic, so Trojan is tougher, I am gladdd to hear that. Latest I heard is that the Fountain is a par 54 and Vista a par 61 this year. I would rather lay up than risk losing a disc and get the penalty on top of it. We will see how it goes, am glad I'm going with 4 other Deaf guys who are more into the PDGA pro scene than I am.
See how we all do.

Yeah i did mention that about sean being the highest rated in ADV Ams somewhere on this website or on odsa... either way yeah, he looking to dominate the boys instead of playing with the men? Or he didnt have the extra cash to register for Open? Either way, just hopes he dominates anyways.
