I have no idea. Where is this women's team going to compete anyway. Sounds a little on the creepy side if you ask me.

That's kind of strange. Looks like a veiled attempt to get people to the web "sight" or to the store.

Interesting. The link in the Craigslist post takes you to Discraft's "store" on their site. Curious.

ANd not to mention the spelling and grammar. "Throughing". You would think anyone who plays disc golf could spell throwing correctly.

Sounds like a scam to me. Or someone who doesn't play.

I think the store on Sandy is real, but pretty new -- it shares an address with Rip City Skate. They have a one-page Web site, a MySpace page that lists every Portland high school under "Schools," and a probably-fake "review" on InsiderPages.com. Sounds like they're just desperate to do anything to get some buzz (I almost spelled that last word with 3 Zs!); the question is why she chose disc golf.

A team of women disc golfers? I think some of the men's heads just exploded.

Hmmm, sounds like a unique idea. Never heard of a group of women getting together to play before. Perhaps someone should organize something like this.

Great idea. They could have their own tournament and everything. But what to call it.

No, no... that's NOT what I had in mind, at all.

Below is the response I received to my emai.

"Cindy it would get to that at some point some day. with my self promoting events but just like cycling,running skiing, kayaking* there are teams even if you race as an individual .* but my idea was more to from a group for women that's all. would you like to be in ? it has no start cost and only benefits.

I Need a leader with some time behind the disc"

Well that certainly clears things up, doesn't it?

I sent an email as well, but one that is much more suspicion-laden and a little ruder than I'm assuming Lego's was.

Ok, I called the store and talked to JP. Garrett was out and Garrett is the one heading up the disc golf side of things. JP runs the skate of things and the disc golf side is just beginning. Garrett is a disc golfer but has not been in the tournament scene. His feeling was that disc golf may be growing in the area and a niche might need to be filled. (yep) They currently carry Discraft and Huk Lab (they know Jay Harbour) and are waiting for the shipment from Innova. (aren't we all) JP is going to have Garrett get back to me as they are really interested in growing in the sport and in return helping to grow the sport. I'll have a meeting at the store next week with Garrett to talk to him and see how "we the disc golf commuity" can help them, help us.

Sure Bob, that's one way to go about it. But wouldn't it be much more fun to just sit behind our computers and make fun of their grammar?
