almost all of our top pros won at least 3 adv before moving up... I've only won small tourneys, not big ones.

Alright, fair enough.

5 new pin placements went in last weekend at the course. The layouts will be awesome for the tournament.

These are the trophies for the tournament. Also those TD's out there wanting bad ass trophies from the NW, this guy Gary does them cheap.
Sign up people, i take cash in hand.
Also hole sponsorships go a long way to help us out.

"Top Pros" being the key phrase here. If the standard was win three in MA1 before moving up the pro field would be eight "top pros". I'm not saying you should move up Snap, I'm just sayin'. It's sad to see guys winning big tournaments in MA1 or consistently placing in the top ten, and still coming back year after year without moving up.

[snap7times]

i have every intention of improving and then moving up... this is my first full year of advanced...

The layout of the tournament is going to make you PLAY DISC GOLF!

1st round will be 21 holes, par 74-75
2nd round will be 18 holes, par 56
3rd round will be 22-23 holes, par 77-80...
Donuts Sunday morning, 10am tee off means done by 2, then throw off for baskets, awards, everyone is back on the road by 330 at latest...

[snap7times]

Trophies are bad axxed! The discs are going to be awesome!
The layouts will be super awesome! Dont miss out!
Hole sponsorships will help this tournament in a great way, so if you can't come play, but want to help the tournament fundraise and be a great success, hole sponsorships are the way to go. Anyone who sponsors a hole gets the 10mm hard laminated sign after the tournament to keep.
$20 for 1 hole, $30 for 2 holes, $50 for 4 holes.

A lot of work has gone into this course over the past 6 months, and more is coming in the following weeks leading up to the May 14-15 tournament. The course will be closed basically from Memorial weekend to Labor day weekend due to summer camps. Get your rounds in now! Will be rotating the baskets on a weekly basis the whole month of may.. As you can see two reviews on dgcoursereviews have been updated to reflect the improvements on the course over the last 6 months. If only cefire could get up here soon...

[snap7times]

The ADV field grew a few players this week, where are all of ya? You are missing a good one, this tournament will make each player a better player overall! This will not be duece or die like last year.

The old review versus the new review by "the birdman"/"chainbanger" on the Jerry Miller DGC

-----------


Pros: This is great place for hearing impaired youth. For the purpose of a camp activity and getting kids involved, this course rocks. There were nice signs and spray painted arrows letting people know where the next tee was. The caretaker has done a nice job of clearing the fairways. It has a lot of ace runs, and I find that fun, once in awhile. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This place has really improved over time. The course "Pro" has really put a lot of work into making this course fun for disc golfers. With alternate baskets he has added over 1,000 feet. This area of Oregon is densely wooded, but the course is clear and well maintained (just keep it in the cleared fairways).

Cons: Advanced to pro players will find that it is a fun course to work on the mid-range game. There is no point in bringing all your discs, it can easily be done with five. If not your mid and a putter. I do think that if they have
tournaments out there, they should have some alternates set up. There are definitely some holes that would have to be lengthened.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BAM, they did all that!... I think the caretaker was listening. bring your full bag! The only con during my round was the inconsistent weather. We had rain, sun, and hail during our short 18 hole round. That's Oregon.

Other Thoughts: Like I said in the beginning, It is a fun place for the kids. They won't have to throw a whole lot, and can have fun. Experienced golfers will wish for more. The course could be a lot more challenging. For instance I am an OK advanced player and shot a -4 the first round and -8 the second time around. All in all, it was scenic and fun with all the ace runs.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is a course where a seasoned golfer could come out and shoot -10 and the next day shoot a +5. You really need to hit your lines to shoot well. It's not a forgiving course, but it's very playable. I had some really cool birdies, a few bogies and my third ACE....Make the drive, it's worth the trip.

Is there another event going on that weekend that I am unaware of or? Pm's encouraged... looking forward put on champ event. The trophies and discs are on their way to me now...
extra baskets, rubber mats, carpets, glow sticks, new basket placements, wooden disc trophies, extra prizes like shirts, towels, hats, discs, and ctp contest for a mini basket... gonna be great.

The layout will be similar but will have several key differences, and major twists to 3-4 holes like elevated island and new placements etc... Scores from the November fundraiser with 18 holes. Temp holes will be similar. Course will be set up early this year.

[snap7times]

Round 1 scorecard for the May 14-15 tournament is attached.

21 holes. 8200 feet of improving your game! Hole E is a 8-12 foot elevated hole with the river 20 feet behind it and will be an island hole. The island will be a 45 foot radius around the basket with a lay up zone another 90 feet shorter. So concept there is a 90 foot river going through the hole and a real river behind the basket heh... Hole F will be on the bonfire stage, elevated.
Holes 6, 17, B, E, F, G will be elevated baskets. Hole 14A will be the opposite

Round 1 - 21 holes, par 74
Round 2 - 18 holes, par 56
Round 3 TBA

14A has a new placement now, dug it out and poured it today. Will move it next week a few days before the tournament...

[snap7times]

Pic of some of the swag for prizes, CTP, and Raffle. There is a gold mini basket that is up for the CTP contest after the final round, $1 per throw for 30 minutes. The basket will be around 175-200 feet, a normal sized basket that is. There will be seperate round CTP's as well.

Any update on registration?

If I came down on Friday morning to check out the course (for the first time) which course would be in place (regular or safari)? Is it easy to find your way around? Where would I find directions to the course from Portland? Is it public or do I need to seek permission to play?

Any answers to the above questions would be greatly appreciated.

[snap7times]

Registrations are still coming in person. More than 15 golfers said they would pay on friday or saturday morning which is fine with me, the more the merrier. A more detailed registration list is on the tournament page on discgolfscene.
http://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/2nd_Annua...1/registration

I will have the 7 temp holes set up fully by noon friday. The regular course is in place all the time, however baskets will be moved around in their pin placements. The regular course is EASY to find your way around.

http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=3617

Usually polite to call the caretakers as in the dgcoursereview directions but I will be there for part of the day Thursday and most of the day friday getting everything ready.

There is a final work party tomorrow (monday), to wood chip the last of the fallen wood and spread it out on greens and teepads. The teepads will be mixed between carpet (2-3), rubber mats (12), and wood chip. The worse teepads currently will get carpet and rubber teepads.

Hope that answers your questions, if not, ask again and I'll do better...

This layout will make you a BETTER golfer physically and mentally!
