[Dr. Zaius]

i have yet to receive an email from pdga signup so i am not sure of the number we are at. i am hoping by early next week i will have a better idea with an updated registration list.

this is my first sanctioned tourney with an online signup so i am not exactly sure how long it takes to be notified of updates from pdgasignup.com. Anyone on here have an idea on how fast these guys with updates?

There usually pretty fast, most of the time from when someone signs up to email sent to TD is around 24 hours. At least for the tournaments we have used them for. The Whistlin Disc Open is also waiting on them to open our registration. It is several days past when we expected to hear from them.

Regristration List Updated!

[chainsmasher]

Hey Will, just wondering if hole 1 will be in its new position, and if so, if any o.b. will come into play?

[Dr. Zaius]

a great question! and to answer, here is the complete layout!

Hole 1 SHORT This is a change to help with flow on the course. perhaps in the future we will have this figured out.
Hole 2 (reg)
Hole 3 (reg)
Hole 4 RIGHT (ob marsh and path, drop zone yes) Another change. The marsh is DEADLY right now, and I'd rather have people yanking their shots right than shorting them left.
Hole 5 SHORT (OB, WATER AND BEYOND!) Change. There IS water in the gully right now, and in and across will be ob. The shot is shorter now, which hopefully means more controlled shots with less ob.
Hole 6 long (OB, WATER AND BEYOND, no drop zone) OB Change. Since there IS water in the gully, we will use it as ob. Remember, your disc must be fully across the water, or fully surrounded/submerged by water to be ob.
Hole 7 (long (new pin position)) **If there is no mow, this will be moved back short**
Hole 8 double long (will be considered a par 4, ob right of creek) **If there is no mow, this will be moved short left**
Hole 9 center short (ob path, drop zone no, re tee with stroke if you never cross the path)
Hole 10 left (ob path, same as above)
Hole 11 short (path and left ob) **no triple mandatory**
Hole 12 short
Hole 13 left
Hole 14 long
Hole 15 left in cove
Hole 16 left (no ob)
Hole 17 reg
Hole 18 long (no ob, this will be considered a par 4, hole 1 is moved short so there will be no conflicting fairways)

The course will play as a par 56 if we get a mow. If not, then hole 8 will be short and it will play as a par 55.
any other questions?

I really think that you have to make the creek on hole 5 OB to prevent the slow down of people trying to play from the far side of the creek... It sucks and there are plans in the works to re-design the hole, but for now I think the OB really effects the play...

I'm also a huge fan of the triple mando... turns a hole that is an easy deuce into a sphincter clincher!

I also think you should rope off the fairway past the road on hole one and make it an island green for that hole and OB for hole 18 to define the fairways better and up the pressure on both of those holes, but that may have to wait for the next tournament.

PS. These are all pretty strong statements... you are running the tournament... you should lay it out how you want! Basically ignore the ramblings of the gangaly guy in the corner...

I completely agree, ignore that gangaly guy.

As far as speed of play on Hole 5, people going over to retrieve a disc takes just as long (more or less) as going over the creek and playing from there.

While I think most leftie/rightie hole discussions are kind of silly, in this case I would bet real dollars that a leftie would never, ever layout a hole like this one. Opening an alternate fairway to the left, raising the ceiling on the existing fairway, making the area across the creek in-bounds, or moving the tee across the creek would all improve this hole.

None of this should be an issue for better golfers. I'm thinking of the Ams and Ints.

Unless the leftie had a mean sidearm...

[DexterHawk]

I agree with you Jimmy J... and Tom and I have been making plans and provisions (or revisions) but for this tournament it seems like we should try to at least discourage people from trying to throw over there...

Come on outta towners, lets fill this thing! Very nice looking flier, kudos to whoever designed that. Where you at Luoma?

[Dr. Zaius]

The course will be set up in tournament positions by Friday and we're trying our hardest to get the city to mow in the next week.

That was done by myself and the artist at Ninkasi, Tony. And thanks!

Smasher is calling you out Luoma! Where's our Corvallis contigent!?

nope.
10 bucks goes to the LCC Club, and the rest goes to payout.
plain and simple.

Should be a fun time and a great way jumpstart the LCC team.

I'll check the garage and pony up some discs and whatnot for CTPs or ROF. I've got some decent stuff buried in there.

Since this is a college-centered tourney, any U of O or OSU players going to make a showing?

Go Titans!

re: Reg List

Jim "Air Bounce" Johnson?

Hmmmmmm.

Could be worse I guess. After all, it is a fund raiser. And if I recall Will said that anyone without an assigned nickname before the tourney will take a turn riding the pine over the dunk tank during the lunch break.

Hope it's warm that day.

This is all truth.

I'll also play around with other nicknames if you've got one, just to keep it legit. You've got to admit though, you've got a pretty nice little 40 footer flicky air bouncy putt. i've seen you drain em with my own two eyes.

Course Update: Spring has sprung at the grove!

A mow is scheduled at the grove sometime this week. How certain we are of this happening we are not sure, and back near 7 and 8 it is HAIRY to say the least. With that that said, changes are made on a few positions (check above) and more will be made if the mow does not happen.

All of these changes are to make for a more enjoyable tournament and to help flow. I hope everyone understands!
