If you want physical fitness and health, try White Oak. It makes most other courses feel like a walk in the park.

Just as FYI, this is not in support of anything at OP, however you would be supporting the Georgia Games program.

Some Oregon Park ladies were wondering if there will be a Womens Division?

[Georgiagames51]

we will be adding a womens divsion , remember if you want to register do it online at georgiagames.org . if you are not part of the PDGA it is an extra $10.00 fee

Question...

what is the differing format being that it's an "X" tier event?

Only 4? Ok, i was planning on coming out and playing but I guess it wont be any problem to sign up the day of.

[Dr. Manhattan]

i guess Ill still be there. This is Patrick Kellner. Hopefully there will be a xxl shirt there for me.

[Dr. Manhattan]

Sorry to bring so many questions but there will be an open division if some show?

[keith johnson]

I talked with him today and asked if it was ok since PRO wasn't offered, and that it's an XC Event with no cash payout if we could run side action (like we do at Perkerson Fundraisers) and he said it was ok with him - so I'm game if anyone else wants to put up 10-20+ a head.

I'm bringing my scoreboard and offered to help him out with check-in and setting up scorecards - but I'm hoping since he's allowing day of signup, that it doesn't end up the c/f that Dogfest did with 3 people going nuts signing people up 15 minutes after check-in closed because 1/2 the field showed up day of and 1/2 of those 15 minutes before check-in closed.

Oregon Park has LOTS of players and I can envision where they all show up at 8:55 SAT morning wanting to signup.

[BP]

Unfortunately I would not be worried about that. So few are interested in tournaments. I would be more concerned with the kids that will try to play during the tourney.

Since this is a sanctioned tournament, why is it squeezed underneath all of the GSSS info? Just asking.....

[keith johnson]

Because he didn't sanction it until this week, and I didn't think about it, but since I made the first post, I guess I'll have to be the one to sticky it.

Why did you remove yours (PRIMO PLASTIC) from sticky after I stickied it when you sanctioned yours?

That's the interesting thing since this was rushed together within the last month and sanctioned within the last week - what will be the turnout? - It seems most of the OP crew will not be there and as Bob mentions - not many play Events, but they do support OP, and the Evnets held there in the past seemed to always have a decent turnout, so it will be a crap shoot that will get answered Sat morning I guess.

[grease]

I think Kieth is right and there will be a mob scene as usual day of just like every event at OP. Too bad there is no way to sign up say, tonight at dubs. Or is there?

[Georgiagames51]

You can sign up online at Georgiagames.org click on the disc golf tab and register that way. We are excited about brining Disc Golf back into the Georgia Games , and we hope there will be a good turnout.

[BP]

Which events are those?

[grease]

Friends of OP, Ace Race, etc. Not saying it's unmanagable, just lots of people showing up morning of. Easy cowboy!

[Georgiagames51]

We are now offering an open mens division as well as an open womens. Hope to see everyone there tomorrow bright and early .

[grease]

Am I to assume that this will be normal times (8-9 am sign in,9:30 am players meeting, 10 am start) with tourney central being on the new side of the park? 2 rounds? Sorry if I missed it, but I did scroll up to check and haven't actually checked the official Georgia Games website. That information could be beneficial to those like myself who are too lazy to check the other sight and usually just frequent this sight for tourney info/stalking. I plan on being there and will be more than willing to help with sign up or whatever.

[Georgiagames51]

yes the plan is to have registration 8-9 players meeting and maybe get everyone on the course by 9:30. We will have registration up at hole 1 and we will be playing 2 rounds

[grease]

Thanks for the clarification.

[Dr. Manhattan]

Results? Scores? Curious to see how this went down and see what everyone shot.

[djester]

i guess Ill still be there. This is Patrick Kellner. Hopefully there will be a xxl shirt there for me.

Didn't you go?

No. I had a friend come in from California and he wanted to play and wasnt going to jump into a tournament. Dont get too many options to pick up a round with him so did that instead. Also it really wasnt clear there was going to be an open division until kind of late.
