Scott and I planned on driving over Saturday morning since we had the afternoon round. If it is one flight I guess we will just have to leave at 4 am. I'm not complaining I would just like to know if it will be 1 flight or 2? if that is at all possible?

Wow, I never looked at the schedule before.
Showing up in the afternoon on Saturday would be real nice.
Now I have to think about playing in this tournament.

Colin and I are in, looking forward to playing the Sisters course! Somehow I have never played it. Thanks Ryan and the whole central Oregon crew!

With as much daylight as we have now I am in favor of starting round 1 on saturday around 11 or noon and round 2 around 4 then maybe like a 10 am start on sunday would be cool, could do a final 9 or something after for pro lead card and maybe an adv lead card too, we would have plenty of time, and those are always fun to play in and watch

Totally agree with everything above, that would be awesome

Is this a ORDGC qualifier?

Seems that we , who live east of the cascade range, dont get a qualifier...

Should the event be renamed "West of the Oregon Cascades Disc Golf Championship"

Bummed I cant play in the Pine Jam this year..Closing Day at Mt Bachelor and my work schedule conflicts.

Hmmm... That didn't stop Adam Cooney or Rachel Benton from qualifying.

I think you just need to think outside the "Bend".

You should consider coming out here for the event anyway... you're tall and we can always use a good spotter.

Funny cause Coos Bay is as far away from anything as Bend is and doesnt stop us from traveling to Oregon series events, or 4 hours to sisters for this one.

The schedule for the weekend looks great. Cant wait for this, you central oregon guys need to make sure we get some warm weather though..

So no doubles on friday night?

Not sure if there is an official Doubles or not Friday, but some of us are trying to gather people to play 5pm Friday Random Doubles. Should be a good turn out for the Random Doubles on Friday and WILL be an amazing Tournament!

esquire · #35 May 25th, 2011, 04:20 PM

Hyzer Pines baskets are in the 1st round layout positions. Enjoy.

My 2-cents response to Jeff & Scott:
1) Just because people in Central Oregon travel to the valley for tourneys does NOT mean that they are not at an inherent disadvantage at those tourneys, or at qualifiying for the ORDGC in general. 2 qualifiers each at Whistlers & Milo (2 courses I love btw) is a huge advantage for people who live near those courses (think home-field advantage). There is big difference betwen playing at 4000' (or in the mountains) and playing at sea level.
2) Coos Bay is not a good analogy for a couple reasons: a) Coos Bay/North Bend has a much smaller population than Bend/Redmond/Sisters/Madras and I don't believe there's even a tourney-worthy course there; b) Coos Bay is easily twice as close to Whistlers as Bend is to anywhere in the valley (its a 3-hr drive to anywhere assuming GOOD weather). In other words, no matter where you live in the valley, there are at least 2 qualifiers within a 60-90 min. drive. If you live east of the cascades, there are zero qualifiers within twice that drive time...

Just to clarify, I'm not necessarily saying that things NEED to be changed, I'm simply pointing out that Magilla makes an excellent point (as much as it pains me to agree with him).

So following the logic behind point number one, locals should dominate this tourney...

In MOST divisions...YES. IF Ryan Lane were playing and not running this event, Id put $ down on him, as he destroys the course most days.

With the Baggers that abound in ADV AMS its a tough call but Adam Cooney will be right up there at the top.

Do we even have any Masters AM Baggers in Central Oregon?? I think not. Well maybe 1, but he's in Cali currently.

Hopefully the weather will cooperate, if not the locals will definately have an advantage after this years Winter League play.

Regardless...Its a Ryan Lane run event..what more could you ask for.

chainsmasher · #38 May 25th, 2011, 10:03 PM

Agreed...last year's tourney was very well ran and the course was pretty sweet. The altitude definitely takes some getting used to, so I agree that locals will have an advantage off the tee. I was on Cooney's card last year when he aced, that was some sickness! Looking forward to chucking in Sisters!

sassalicious · #39 May 26th, 2011, 04:25 PM

Ryan, you run a fabulous event and we are both so sad we can't make it out this year! (dang family commitments!!) We hope you have a great weekend... everything rolls smooth and the weather is fabulous! Have fun

discVENTures · #40 May 26th, 2011, 10:47 PM

Thanks for the kind words, I hope we'll live up to the high expectations..

Everything is set for another fine weekend in Central Oregon. It's really the players that make the event so get your smiles on and keep it positive.

Remember the course is on High School property, please obey the course rules.

Doubles are randomly scheduled for 5 PM Friday, $5 per player.
