Day Use Parking Fee: $3 per boat, I mean vehicle.

Great tourney at Baker Bay, thanks Andrew! I happened to leave without grabbing my huk lab umbrella which was right by the EDGC tent. If anyone found it could you PM me? thanks

[Matt B.]

Thanks Drew for another great layout and a fun day at Baker Bay!

For three years we all wanted to get back into the Lane Co. Parks for some good old one-day winter golf tournaments. So a bunch of people did a bunch of work to make that happen.

So where is everybody? A little rain and everybody stays home? EDGC members -you still golfing? I never thought we'd get back into Baker Bay and have about 25 people show up. You missed out peeps!

Thanks to everyone organizing, running, setting up, and bringing baskets! And Playing!

Hey Everyone,
Thanks for coming out to Baker Bay and making for an awesome tournament. It was by far the smoothest event I've ever been a part of. Thanks to Brad McDougall and Dan Rodriguez for helping with the course layout, Gene Fackler for helping out in every which way, everyone who brought and carried out baskets, and of course my girlfriend Nely for being super organized at tournament central. (Have you ever heard of a TD being asked to 'please go warmup' because everything was done nearly an hour ahead of Tee-Off? I'm usually lucky to get a few drives in and some putts before the 2 min warning)

Baker Bay is an awesome park and I feel has real potential as a seasonal Disc Golf Course. We have been talking about it for a long time.... What if the Disc Golf community adopted some local parks and campgrounds during their off-season? Keeping the gates open and parking fees rolling in during the winter months.... People may listen to any proposal for possible revenue creating sources during this recession. I for one would have no issue with buying $3 parking passes or a Seasonal Pass to play.

Have a wonderful Holiday Season and make sure to keep an eye out for the Orchard Point work party. We're going to head out shortly after Christmas and get the layout set for the New Year's Toss.

Ninkasi should be on board by then so be sure to bring those baskets. Baskets=Beer

I agree Baker was a great course. Andrew I would love to volunteer to help with winter courses it would be great we need more courses in lane county. Let me know

[Reichard]

Thanks for all of the hard work, Andrew. The weather could have been better but the course was a lot of fun!

[DGROGUE]

Cant wait for Sat at Orchard Park. Just wondering will this be another 12 hole course or 18? Wondering how many baskets to bring. See you all there hung over or not!

[DexterHawk]

bring all of your baskets just in case

[ahukingacehole]

Thanks everyone who made this happen. The crazy island layout was brutal and awesome. I was happy just to make it out of that last round without any penalties. Congrats to Andy 8 down out on those 12 holes, pretty badass.

[DexterHawk]

Yeah really fun tricky course in sunny weather. I had my best improvement from round to round ever. Second round lots of obs lead a twelve over... Next round 8 under was an improvement of 20 strokes!

Come On Guys! With the turnout of the ninkasi series last winter where is everyone? This one at cottage grove is one that you dont want to miss!

See everyone there

[purediscgolf]

Here are the results from the last event at Orchard Point County Park. I can't wait to see everyone at Cottage Grove for the first permanent course in the Willamette Valley Winter Series. I apologize for the delay listing the results. The current Points Standings will be uploaded by Friday night and will also be posted at Cottage Grove on Saturday.

I moved a bunch of baskets at CG last weekend... If you want me to change anything for the tourny just let me know. My only request is that we play the triple mando hole, I'll bring a rope... PS I have a really good idea for a temp basket location for hole number 8 but it would slow play down a little bit. What if we put a basket across the stream and played it as a huge anny shot... I'll bring my discatcher if you decide you wanna try it.

[purediscgolf]

I was thinking about Hole 8 specifically because of the back-up we had during the Celebration. I was planning on playing it in the original placement down the center. Not the longer pin or the left pin. I would like most of the pins in the original placements with Hole 12 in the short and Hole 13 in the Right.

With very little prep work needing to be done on a permanent course I will have time to move baskets on Saturday morning if need be. Thanks for the heads up. See you on Saturday!

Here are the updated Willamette Valley Winter Series Points Standings. They are current through Orchard Point. We have 5 events left in the series so you still have many opportunities to come play.

We will calculate your top 5 points totals in the series to crown Divisional Champions. The top 1/3 in each division (who have made 5 or more events) will qualify for the Series Points payout.

ps. The whole file is too large so I had to split the Pros/Adv and the Adv Masters/Intermediate Ams into two separate files to upload.
