2011 Lilac City Open - May 28 & 29, 2011 - Page 2 - Washington Events

purediscgolf · #21 May 13th, 2011, 06:35 PM

I can't wait for this year's Lilac City Open. It's been on my list of WA events to play for a long time. Great job making it into an A-tier and attracting some elite competition.

Are there any locals willing to put me up for the weekend? I'm going to be coming up on Thursday with Tim Skellenger. He's going to be getting a hotel with his girlfriend and I'm looking to crash with a local... Thanks!!

If you're the hearty type you can camp at 4-mound for cheap ($7 or 8 bucks for the weekend with free fire wood). You could probably catch a lift into town for the Sat. events with others if you don't have a vehicle. There will be food (for a price) available Sunday afternoon. Wherever you land, we can't wait to see you.

I've been wondering about this since I signed up. How does the meal deal thing work out? I mean I paid for the two meals that were being offered but how is that being tracked. Does everybody who signed up for the meal get a ticket? Or is it something like the names of those who paid are on a list and the cook will have to check them off as they come through? Just curious.

Also, what are the discs for the Lilac City Open this year? Hopefully not another Vulcan or something flippy as such.

Aaron Baker came out yesterday and single-handedly trimmed almost all the tees and greens on both the Porky '13' and Jumanji. My field mower and I are rekindling a relationship that ended last fall and have managed to pilot a fairway through most of the holes. There's more to do. Some fairways will be left 'long' because they won't support my equipment.If anyone wants to do some hand-held work on 'Final 10' #2 and #9 that would give me a big boost.
There will be all the fresh cold good water we need. The fire wood is split and the camping areas are mowed. Bring repellent.
Practice rounds Through Friday will be available @ $5 per car so carpool . Visitors will also be welcome at $5 per car, especially on Sunday.
Thanks to all who have helped along the way and all those who are volunteering for the weekend.

I had a blast yesterday with Scott W. Your guy's hospitality is always tremendous.

Just a heads up for all the players that are playing this year. The mosquito's are out in abundance. Downriver and Highbridge aren't that bad. Four Mounds is terrible. Standing water in the swampy sections means you are going to get eaten alive. Bring bug spray. Deer ticks are also in abundance. Had four on me yesterday when I went home. Long hair should be in a hat to keep the free riding parasites at bay.

See everyone Saturday!

MTChristian · #27 May 23rd, 2011, 01:11 PM

Glad to be making it back to the Lilac City Open! Site of my first Open cash ever, back in 2006. Four Mounds always has a special place in my heart! Can't wait to mix it up with the stacked player field that'll be making the trip. Way to go to all those who've stepped up and made this an A-Tier event...I sure know how much work is entailed!

I'll have SPECIAL EDITION Big Sky "Zoo Town" Summer Honey, with a just-for-the-tournament label, available at the LCO by overwhelming popular demand. $5 for one (highly collectible!) or $10 for a six-pack. All proceeds to the Zoo Town Open.

Put me down for a sixer. I won't be playing the Zoo Town Open but the sticker from what I heard, has the Zoo Town Open logo on it. I will definitely be enjoying this beer.

how come it seems like everytime i have to register online for a tourney the fee seems to go up? literally every time this year it's happened. how has it gotten so high? why does it have to be that way? am i the only one who thinks this is outrageous??

it can't simply be the credit card company raising their prices. Because i'm only using one credit card and getting charged $11 to register two players. I'm not even a person who is affraid to spend money, i just don't like being taken.

Gordy #21004 · #30 May 23rd, 2011, 10:55 PM

The net pro entry for the Lco currently stands at $3000 mol. This is the gross fee minus the INWS Standard deductions (Series fee, $4 + PDGA player fee,$4+ Host Fee,$2+ trophy fee,$1 =$11). Our added cash to this Super Tour purse is currently just north of $2600 which means the overall pro purse in the aggregate exceeds $5600. If a dozen more pros signed up this week that would put the aggregate purse north of $6600. We are pleased to be hosting the toughest field ever here in Spokane(we've had some pretty severe competition in the past) and are proud to present to all comers our largest purse ever.

' It wouldn't be so bad if Stuart wasn't such a tasty treat.

' Gordy. And besides, look on the bright side: it just helps keep play moving.

Watch out for Mr. Moose, Christian, those swamps just make him drool.

Gordy #21004 · #32 May 24th, 2011, 08:02 AM

Double Dees, Aaron Holly and Bill Clark. One buck only and your disc comes off The Wall of Shame and back to you.

Gordy #21004 · #33 May 24th, 2011, 08:17 AM

The Acepot from The DRO has rolled forward to the LCO. That acepot combined with the ace money collected so far for the LCO is in excess of $430. If no one aces at the LCO the pot will roll forward to the Country Cup at 4-mound in July. If uncollected then, it will continue to roll forward throughout the INWS, ultimately to be paid out at the INWS Finals at Farragut in October.

General Scales · #34 May 24th, 2011, 03:59 PM

All I have to say is nobody better hit my ace!

Yoduh · #35 May 24th, 2011, 10:27 PM

Need to rethink hole 6 at Downriver.. The new hole is bad at best. Marking an ob line between 6 and 9 would take care of the small issue that has never been one in the last 10 years at Downriver. An ob line would make hole 9 tough again like it used to be when we didn't have boss's wraiths and destroyers that make that hole so easy to par. The new hole is an atrocity. I feel sorry for anyone that ends up on the hill right or can't throw over 280 feet through the non fairway. O.B. on the left of hole 6 would also punish a lefty similar to how righty drives get punished on the mysterious OB hole 2.

I played the LCO layout for Hole six on Saturday and was very surprised. I thought it was great. I was expecting it to be horrindous from the comments from a few peeps here. It's a creative use of terrain and solves a big problem.

Keep in mind I'm a 814 rated player who drives in the mid 200's...

I kept my eye on where I usually see (better players') drives land for hole 9 and I didn't see a conflict. Maybe I'm missing something....

I enjoyed the hole and look forward to playing it in the LCO.

Yoduh · #37 May 26th, 2011, 01:01 AM

Creative? um ok. I stand corrected. I know I'm planning on throwing it as hard as I can and hoping to hit my 50 footer

General Scales · #38 May 26th, 2011, 07:32 AM

I played the new layout of six a few times now and it's about 50/50. I have parked it with my Wasp and I have failed to park it with the same Wasp. Seems more like a Merry Christmas/chance type shot. I think it will be a nice break in the layout to have a hole that doesn't require arm power more than it requires technique and luck. Much like hole 4 to me at Downriver.

As a lefty, I can attest to the fact that we lefties get punished enough when it comes to course layouts (especially OB markers and tees). With that said, I am very cognizant of the fact that the courses in Spokane are set up quite well for a predominately LHBH dg'er. Wish I could make the tourney!

Whippetbrown · #40 May 26th, 2011, 09:34 AM

Wow that is a perfectly thrown together A-tier hole there. I hope the safety factor outweighs the suck factor. Not a big fan of that move. I will play it like I'm playing night golf just throw and hope I don't hit trees in the wide open rhbh hyzer route only shot. I can guarantee more people are in danger from 9's tee now than ever before, lets wait and see. Just my 2 cents worth on the new tee, I have a bunch of change left but that hole only deserves 2 cents now.
