discVENTures · #1 April 22nd, 2011, 03:32 PM

The Pine Jam is a PDGA B-Tier event at Hyzer Pines DGC, in Sisters. Narrow gaps and densely wooded fairways meander through the Ponderosa forest next to Sisters High School. All divisions will play three rounds on three different layouts. Lunches provided and a player's pack for all pre-registered by May 21. Camping just a mile down the street and plenty of lodging options.

I don't yet know if I can make this event, but I'd like to throw out a big cheer of support. This was by FAR, the most underattended event I played last year, the courses were fantastic! The tournament was run very professionally, they gave us food, everyone was really friendly, and I hope that word of mouth support can help do a better job of filling this event this year. I will do my best to attend.

Also, just a note, on the website, to see the flyer you have to scroll over the registration button and click on the mail option, hitting the registration button takes you to last years flyer. Took me a minute to figure that one out.

I'm really looking forward to playing in this tourney! I've heard a ton about the hyzer pines course but have yet to play it... Hopefully people start jumping on board and sign-up!

Hey Ryan, Are we responsible for making individual reservations at the campground? I'm just guessing that we may need to be on top of that since it's Memorial Day weekend.

essjay · #5 May 3rd, 2011, 03:12 PM

Um, nevermind. Just saw the first come, first served status.

Well put Joshua, and I agree wholeheartedly... This was a great Event and deserves to be full! Sadly, I won't be able to attend this year.

I think you better be early to get a spot at the campground. There's also a mountain bike race in town that weekend. They are limiting the race to 500 people!
From their website:
"And camping sites are available in the city campground near the start/finish."

What are the odds I can get away with sleeping in my Westy at the course? Oh, and did that rec center have a shower?

discVENTures · #9 May 6th, 2011, 07:40 AM

Westys can park wherever they want, but it might be worth the mile long drive down the road for some companionship. We have a primitive (free) group camp area just across the road from the Cold Springs campground. Yes, there are showers in the Coffield Center which will be open in the mornings around 7AM.

discVENTures · #10 May 9th, 2011, 12:26 PM

Pre-Reg list is here.

Please RSVP so we can update our schedule, pool assignments, and lunch plans.

Player's Packs include choice of: Echo Leopard, Echo Roadrunner, Champion Ape. We'll also have some Champion Makos and Champion Glow Monarchs available as event fundraisers.

There will be a $5 late fee assessed to all registrations received after May 21st.

Yes, there are plenty of good hotels in Sisters. It's a pretty busy travel weekend and most of Bend is sold out already. We called around to check on rates in Sisters, here are your best options (both within a mile of the course):
Ponderosa Lodge: From $134.99
Sisters Inn & Suites: From $79.00

Also, plenty of Rebels would be thrilled to host a Gausnell trio at their house. Are you scared of getting dirty at the campground?

Made reservations at the Ponderosa today, thanks for the info. My brothers can't get the

wardens

to let them out for the weekend. Camping in the dirt never scares me, I'm bringing me a hot date and want to get her in to a hot tub. Scotty and I won't be leaving until Saturday morning so we just need beds for one night. If a Rebel wants to put up with 2 Misfits for a night speak up and save us $134.99.

If you voted against him and so did I, spencer and devin both voted against him how did he get in?

discVENTures · #19 May 20th, 2011, 09:10 AM

Schedule - If we end up with 64 or less we'll just have one flight of players with all playing 2 rounds Saturday & 2 Sunday. If we have more we'll stick with the 2 flights and all Amateur Divisions will play 2 rounds Saturday/ Pros play 2 rounds Sunday. If you will be joining us, but are not on the pre-reg list please dial now to secure your spot.. Thanks!

Huk'nGeiks · #20 May 20th, 2011, 01:49 PM

Hey Ryan, if we have just one flight will the schedule for tee times change? I guess we could eliminate those early morning rounds in favor or playing late morning and afternoon. I could also see that we might not know how many will play until the day of...(depending on late registration)
