I expect the folks that contacted me and already gave their name to follow through with payment to secure their spot. Some spots are held for tournament sponsors, and club members that are bringing food etc. for participants that I have not gotten around to collecting entry fees from.

I don't know who folks are by their NWDG ID's.

If you want on the wait list send me a private message to discgolfgreg@yahoo.com with your name and division of preference. I'm asking the first few on the wait list to mail me their registration check too. I won't cash it until I confirm you are in.

Thanks,

Greg Johnson

Is it too late to sign up for advanced?

I tried on the site and it was somewhat confusing...

Thanks,

It's full and there never was a website for registrations to allow a more equal opportunity to get registered. I can add names to the wait list but the outlook is not good as I have 8 names already. I need name and division of preference for additions to the wait list.

But that's just the opinion of one person who doesn't actually take holidays popularized by television shows too seriously.

There is a keg of free beer and its at adair.....i am so there!!!

Getting pretty excited to play in this well-regarded event, never having played in one before.

And so I'm interested in some of the added and tweaked holes in previous Festivi.

Dion has always added some fun twists to Adair, so I was wondering if anyone wanted to post any descriptions/reviews of the added/tweaked holes that Greg has used/designed before.

I know that past performance is no guarantee of future results, but it's fun to imagine what we may encounter this Saturday morning.

(Greg, I don't expect you to have to post anything. I know you are super busy.)

But some of the other typists on this board may want to share some thoughts.

Thanks.

Thanks neighbor. See you next weekend (or maybe up at our local Bible College course before then).

All I can say is Wow!! What an amazing tournament!! I want to thank WDGC and Greg Johnson for running one of the funnest tournaments of the year!! I am already looking forward to next year!

[snap7times]

This was really fun, enjoyed the temporary holes and adjusted format. Birded both baskets on normal hole 7, that was unique. Am extremely sore right now. Enjoyed the temp layout alot.

[blang11]

Festivus was a ton of fun. Whoever made the cornbread for lunch is a culinary genius by the way. Great lay out. I really enjoyed the holes, with multiple baskets, and the double mando hole was interesting too. We were sooo lucky to get such nice weather!

[snap7times]

and i might add to the "coolness" of the double mando is that Roy Albert was lucky enough to ace this hole on a skip with a champ gator that has the chick flick stamp on it... pay up everyone, that was a money ace... Roy screamed so loud, I heard him from all the way over by the playground, yes, I HEARD him yelling...

[RonTheWhip]

Awesome tournament as usual! I played amazingly poor in the first round (70) and amazingly well in the second round (55) although I missed plenty of putts in round 2. I apparently needed to shake some rust off in round one, but in round two my driving was the best its been - I hit basket on regular hole 2, hit basket on regular hole 11, and hit the pole on regular hole 12 (left) with my tee shot. I also had birdie putts on 19/22 holes, but only converted 11 of them.

Congrats to Nate for ripping it both rounds, and for Brice and Kirk for killing it as well.

Thanks Greg Johnson and the general WDGC for rocking it in the winter time and producing the best weather for golf in Festivus history, or the history of January for that matter.

[discgolfgreg]

It's the players and the club coming together to feed the participants that makes this event a pleasure through all the hard work that goes into it.

The weather was stellar this year. The umbrellas in the players packs kept the rain gods appeased.

Thank you Calapooia Brewing for your support of Festivus!

Congrats to 4 time Champion Nate Sexton!
Nice second round Dion, hitting the pole on 12 - amazing.

I'll get around to posting the results eventually, but I left the scoreboard and most of the tournament stuff at the place I stayed in town Saturday night.

I'll repeat my perspective of the most notable event.

I was playing in the group in front of Roy, I was walking to the next hole and missed seeing the skip off the road, but turned as it went in. It was Roy's first ever Ace and what I'm pretty sure is the first Ace on my basket. I ran back over and was the first to high five him and signed his otherwise unmarked Chick Flick Pink Champ Gator which he promptly bought from Karl Pilotte who had let him try it out!
