Please remember you need to be a member in order to be eligable for a tag. We have the 2011 Stumptown bag tag league on the Disc Golf Scene and I will be taking tags before the event for a little added competition and bragging rights.

I look forward to seeing you all there!!

I am sorry and happy at the same time to say that I will not be able to make this event. I am sorry because I heard a lot of good things about this event and know there is going to be good competition as well. I am also sorry because I knew there were some people who wanted to renew Stumptown memberships and pick up bag tags.

I am happy because it was my 35th this week and my sister surprised me by flying up from California to party for my birthday. It was a cool surprise to say the least.

Have fun and please let someone else have my spot.

You are in.

Thank you Sean and Eric for posting.
Have been out there working all day.
Soggy and muddy in spots. Not too bad for slosh weather.
The name of the tournament should be enough but here's a reminder anyway.
Turn clocks forward.
Did not recieve the blank trophies in time.
Barlows printing made some real quick today for us.
Pro trophy looks real good.
Still a couple spots left.

Hey Terry can you make sure I get marked down for taking script and not cash in MPO division... Thanks, Jeremy Fancher

[CarlitosBonitos]

Miles with his first ever Pro Tournament domination. Okay I understand it was by one stroke over Neon Dion... but all the same congrats brotha!

Total Fail of a tourney if I might say. I mean a basket bunjie corded to a tree?? is this even PDGA legal. I know you tried very hard Smoking Joe to host a good event, however when the conditions get so bad that there is a risk of a golfer getting injured thats not good. There was several t-pads too close to other baskest and thats dangerous. # people on 2 different cards I was on were almost hit with discs, myself included right as I was t-ing off. I almost had to get some dental work.
On the plus side I got to meet some realy cool, laid back disc golfers. Got some chilli for lunch, almost had an ace on hole 5 with a disc I have never thrown before, Got to chit-chat with the DGOD people, had a chance to talk with Dion(never met him before) cool guy. I wont be playing anymore Oregon disc events unless there held at well established disc courses. Wortman is too small for this type of event.

I'll have to visit the chiropractor to get my back put back into place after playing on those mud soup pads!!!

And you had two days of it this weekend!

[couve discer]

Lost my full color buzz ace disc with a skyline disc golf stamp on it. Lost it in the creek by the drainage pipe on hole 18. I think it may have gone in or through the pipe. Has my name and # on it and would love to have it back.
My wife and I had a great time minus the weather but we were expecting that. Thanks for throwing a winter tourny to get us ready for a big tourny season.
Thanks

I couldn't agree more. thank you for hosting this event regardless; however, this was my first pdga tournament and i was disappointed to say the least. Tee pads and the scheduling and over all disorganization and lack of information made it a frustrating day. i think i got 4th in advanced but i dont know because at the end when the TD was calling out names and skript he just didnt see my score or give me a place and just said "oh... give him mmm $28" so i dont know really know what place i got. i left upset. I know this is a very negative post and i try to not do this often this tournament in brought my image of the PDGA down a couple notches. Like i said, this is my first PDGA tournament, maybe i just got off to a wrong start but i hope the other PDGA tournaments are much more Professional.

this was only the 2nd time Terry held this event and while the course condition and layout had problems this was a charity fundraiser.A golfer risks injury anytime they go and while this was compounded by weather and lack of space ,due to the powers to be not giving Terry access to as much room as last time, to call it a "Total Fail" I feel is a little harsh.As far as Oregon disc events, basing your opinion on this event is like someone from Oregon judging your States events on a bad day at Leverich.Play some tourneys at Milo,Pier,Timber,Dabney,Trojan,Hornings,Stub Stewart all in the Portland area or roll down I-5 thru Corvallis,Eugene, Cottage Grove,down to Whistlers playin those courses will give a much better taste of Oregon Disc Golf.

As I was not at this event, I cannot take sides. I will state, however, that it is your responsibility to stop playing if you feel that the layout or conditions are too unsafe to continue.

This was a "C" tier event that was a fundraiser for a worthy cause and was NOT typical of PDGA events.Play some other well established events in better conditions on better courses and you will feel differently.When you do, look and see how many people it takes just to run the tourney let alone the work to get a course ready.I understand your frustration and your post was honest, not that negative compared to some on here.That was just a rough start to your PDGA experience.

Don't let a subpar event like this skew your view of PDGA tourneys Xander. This was a complete farce. I was also almost hit by a drive, I almost twisted by knee out of place on a number of holes, and I posted a score I didn't even think was possible on hole 15. I simply could not get ANY traction in the muck which acted as a tee pad. I have never left a tourney before, and having driven up from Eugene for this event it was hard for me to leave (even if I was DFL) but in the end the safety factor due to sloppy-muck tee areas forced my hand. Events such as the upcoming Great Northwest Open and the Three Player Open at McIver are a much better example of what PDGA tourneys should be like. I mean come ON! A basket bungeed to a tree? How is that even a legal target?

I am not faulting the TD on his efforts, but I agree with a previous post that this should not have been a PDGA sanctioned event. The course is too small and the lack of tee pads, or any semblance of one, should prohibit the PDGA from sanctioning a tourney.

[Scott]

The teepads were a mess. It was evident that Terry spent a lot of effort spreading bark where he could, but the fact is we've had so much rain lately that it just didn't make a difference. Not a lot he could do about the rain, and he did move a few pads during lunch which helped a lot.

While we're on the topic of saftey, the tee areas for holes 14 and 17 were a geniune hazard and should never, ever happen again. For those who weren't there, the teepad for hole 17 was directly in the fligh path of hole 17, about 40' away from 17's teepad.

The layout and teepads may work well for a small weekly with 3-4 groups, but is not suitable for a full-field PDGA event (Even a c-tier).

It's not my intent to bash Terry or his events. It is evident how much energy and love he puts into his events. It is my hope that he takes these suggestions to heart and uses them to improve future events.

[JMan]

Let me start by stating, "I love the lines of Wortman" But you can add all the safari holes, lentghten others or change Ts, to Wortman you want and you still can't call it Pier, hell lunchtime for that matter. It just isn't set up for heavy play, period; let alone a full blown tournement. Sorry Terry I aggree that you work your buns off, but it's a small course and will have these issues until you convince the city to give you room to install something bigger elswhere. Until then, it is a great little course, good luck.

I saw that disc recovered and I "think/hope it was turned in". It was found nearing the end of the 2nd round by a guy on my card. cant remember his name tho, drove out from central washington??
I hope it was given to Terry for the lost/found but I'm not shure.

[hansell69]

I think that it was a good turn out and that the weather sucked but other than getting soaked it was a blast! I was wondering if the results where posted some where? If someone could let me know I would appreciate it.
