I have a couple in mind but nothing set in stone as of yet. Have a suggestion, Don?

[drkstr]

I'll check out some placements next time I'm out there ~ #7 could be on the service road close to #8 basket ~ #9 could be shot from #8 pad ~ lots of options

[sillybizz]

interesting, I'll take a look next time I'm out there. Thanks.

You probably already thought about this, and it's too late now, but, maybe next year you could order up some CFR Champ Glo Coyotes with silver hotstamps for the event.

Hadn't thought of that! I will keep that in mind if indeed this event happens next year. Awesome idea, thank you.

[LakeStevensBA]

can you change the name to the silver sidewinder tournament for next year?

[sillybizz]

I want to hold the Floppy Putter Open next year at Lake Stevens, what do you think of that name?

[TYVEK]

i say the "metallic Meteor Open" !

Alright so I went out today and figured out the alternative tee pads for this event for the afternoon round, I even measured them and the original pads and uploaded those to DGCR. As for the alt tee pads, they are slightly different with some being longer and some being technical. Total of 2,516 feet for nine holes or 280 feet per hole, average. I tried to make several different routes to the basket that were fair and did very well; all of the holes have paths for RHBH/LHFH and LHBH/RHFH people.

Alt Hole 1: 471 feet. It's behind the regular pad exactly 200 feet. Regular Pad: 271 feet.

Alt Hole 2: 191 feet. It's closer and to the left near the two trees next to the water. Regular Pad: 276 feet.

Alt Hole 3: 253 feet. It's behind the regular pad on the trail close to the fence, three fence posts in. Regular Pad: 223 feet.

Alt Hole 4: 217 feet. It's in line with the regular pad up the hill on the pavement next to the fence. Regular Pad: 212 feet.

Alt Hole 5: 284 feet. It's behind the regular pad where the moss grows and where the fences meet. Regular Pad: 242 feet.

Alt Hole 6: 239 feet. It's to the side of the regular pad on the pavement. Regular Pad: 215 feet.

Alt Hole 7: 303 feet. It's behind the regular pad on the pavement. Regular Pad: 263 feet.

Alt Hole 8: 360 feet. It's behind the regular pad with the canopy in play, Regular Pad: 324 feet.

Alt Hole 9: 198 feet. It's to the side of the path towards hole seven. Regular Pad: 202 feet.

So my question is why did we need really ned to redesign the entire course? The next thing you'll want to do is make the pavement ob. I guess from now on any event at Silver Lake must use existing course. In fact I am going to push that idea NOW.

gosh jub, it really sounds like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed! you are the one that is usually making up courses at weird secret locations and stuff.

it sounds like silly is still using the course, but coming up with alternate tee pads for a second round, whats wrong with that???! ALOT of courses do this very same thing for tournaments. and what is wrong with pavement being OB? this is also a VERY common practice for tournaments.

JUb go back to sleep and wake up on the right side of the bed PLEASE!!

Here is a link for a walking tour of Excalibur. You will notice that
A. there is a lot of pavement (hence the handicapped accessible holes)
B. the city has spent time and money designing and installing the holes
C instead of adding 20 ft here and dropping 15 ft there. Why not play the planned 6 500 ft safari holes. *
1-*2, 1-7, 1-5,1-8

Thomas,
I like this idea. I would much rather mix up the 2nd 9 hole rounds than play 4 rounds of the same layout.

Jub,
There is nothing wrong with the existing layout. When you TD an event here, that gives you the right to say what layout will be played. Be glad I am not involved because I would be pushing for all pavement to be OB.

Peace!

[DMajor]

I would definitely make all pavement ob and across the pavement on some holes. There is nothing like seeing your almost perfect birdie putt spit out and roll thirty feet down the hill across the pavement and then loop back around to the pavement to give you a nice 4p try that you miss because your pissed you got a bad roll out. You can then spend the rest of the day beating yourself up over getting a 5 at silver lake. Sado masicism is what golf is all about. Seriously though if it were me I would make the pavement OB but I understand why people like to keep an easy course easy.

[sillybizz]

Jub, I'm not trying to say you didn't do a good job with the original layout, because I love the layout but I thought it would be fun for everyone to throw something a little different for the second round, even a great course could get boring playing it four times in a row. I'm not sure if you're upset because I changed the layout or because of my layout changes, maybe you wanted a say? I have put my own time and money (currently over $100) into this tournament that I may or may not get back and if I want to add extra tee pads for the second round then I'm going to do so, in fact I think it's my duty to the players that show up to shake things up and make it fun for them. I wasn't planning on making concrete OB knowing how you feel about it because I respect that but honestly I feel that's a fun way to play it. This tournament has only a couple of purposes; Raise money for CDGC, create a camaraderie amongst players and have fun and that is my sole intention for this tournament and if you can't let go and look past your own petty bullshit and see the bigger picture, well I'm not going to feel sorry for you. Sorry to be so harsh but I feel that I have done nothing but try and do positive things with my first PDGA tournament as a director and it seems as if people are only trying to make things hard for me. It's frustrating. Maybe you could have called me or sent me an email/PM when I announced extra tee pads a week ago instead of lambasting me on the forum. I would of never done that to you.

I support 99% of this post. If not for the grammar at the end, I would have given you 100.

Don't sweat Jub too much, Thomas. You got off relatively light (so far). Be glad you haven't seen some of the stuff in the series discussions.

[JR Stengele]

I thought the real reason for the tournament was for my birthday Thomas? Oh well, I guess serving the dg community, representing CDGC, and trying to run your first tournament will suffice.

PS. I am with Tim, your grammar sucks.
But hey, keep living the dream buddy!

Hey, John! I appreciate your honesty, but leave Tom's grandma out of this. After all, he plays just like her...

So playing a "jub-approved" safari course is ok (despite the disaster that crossing fairways would create in a tourney), but changing up tees a little bit is out of the question.

This constant shutting down of anyone who is trying to do something positive is getting old, really old
