thanks to Andrew Lofstrand for helping me out with a great logo for this years event. Word has it I will be printing up some full color t-shirts for sale at the tourney. :shock:

this is what will be printed on your mini.

by **Funky Bobby J** » Wed Jun 29, 2011 3:35 pm

Make sure that the shirts say disc golf on them somewhere. It is a cool logo - I get more questions from strangers about shirts that actually say disc golf on them somewhere. It is a good way to promote the sport.

Nothing says disc golf like "DISC GOLF".

To put your mind at ease under GDGO it says "Gwinnett Disc Golf Organization"

So if any one wants a shirt for sure let me know and i will order your size shirt special just for YOU! yeah thats how i roll. i'm going for TD of the year :lol:

Thank you to Brad Traylor our first hole Sponsorship!!!

by **monsterboys76** » Thu Jun 30, 2011 3:56 pm

Thanks to Gwinnett Community Church for their hole sponsorship

by **monsterboys76** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 9:23 am

just want to tell everyone online registration closes July 23rd. If possible please register before this date. All TD's know it gets a bit ridiculous when everyone wants to sign up day of tourney. Thank you everyone that has signed up already!

by **jamnation** » Sun Jul 24, 2011 2:14 pm

greg....you say its ridiculous the number of people that sign up the day of the tourney...but even more ridiculous is shutting down registration 2 weeks before the tourney!!!

i've been out of town for 2 weeks and i wanna sign up for this...can ya let me in please

thanks man,
T.J.

by **monsterboys76** » Sun Jul 24, 2011 4:39 pm

online sign ups were going for a moth now man! of course you can still get in, and the reason why i had the registration closed down early is because last year we did not get the check from the online company in time so we had to use other funds. I'm sorry if i hurt your feelings when i closed it early but that what i chose to do at the time. send me a message with your info name, what division and i will get you a spot.

Thanks
Greg

Actually, closing online registration 1to 2 weeks prior to the event is the norm for just about every tournament. As Greg said, the TD has to allow the online company time to send a check to him/her or the TD will have to do payout from his own funds.

by **jamnation** » Mon Jul 25, 2011 11:48 am

Well I must admit this will only be my 5th tourney and every one before this the registration was open til the Wednesday before that weekend. I apologize for my lack of knowledge on what it takes to be a TD. Greg is a super stand up guy and let me in and I appreciate that. He also runs the best dubs this side if the mason-dixon line!!!

Thanks Greg. You rock dude!!

by **monsterboys76** » Mon Jul 25, 2011 1:56 pm

no problem T.J.! just don't let it happen again :lol:

by **monsterboys76** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 9:47 pm

that's right never mess with chuck norris. oh and please no checks or debit cards are accepted day of tourney. PLEASE CASH ONLY!!!

by **monsterboys76** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:05 pm

word out on the course is hole 1 is going to be an island hole......could this be true? find out Aug 6th!

by **Bhuff** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 12:35 pm

Sweet, a 10 ft circle island? Re-tee if missed...would mix things up...

by **mrpbody33** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 1:18 pm

10 foot island circle....wow Bryan...why don't you make it the broad side of a barn.

What Mr. Pothier is alluding to is that Hole 1 will be completely transformed come Saturday. Everything but the tee box and basket will be surrounded by a moat of molten hot magma. You might think the basket and tee box would melt under the temperatures of the lava but Greg has the ability to suspend the law of physics for this tournament. A special permit was granted to him by MC Stephen Hawkings. Your only chance to card a decent score on this hole will be to ace the basket right off the tee box. Discs that land in the liquid fire will be lost for eternity or until the lift the ban on Derek to dive for them using his flam retardant speedo. Successful shots into the basket can be retrieved via the newly installed Vietnam area Pibber retro fitted with asbestos and lead-based paint. The boat will skippered by no other than Steve Irwin selling his custom stamped CFR Stingrays. Competitors failing to land a disc inside the basket after ten throws will be immediately pushed into the lava by the next player waiting to tee off. The deceased will receive a DNF for the tournament and all remaining discs in their bag will be divided among the competitors at the award ceremony.

:twisted:

by **Bhuff** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 3:59 pm

Whew, that sounds much better than the island green I had pictured, and safer...start me on 2 please.

by **monsterboys76** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 8:04 pm

Barry you are pretty much on the right page. I guess the word that gets around is kinda like that telephone game the story gets bigger and bigger. If i knew how to post a picture then i could put up our Putting Trophy and Big are trophies up

Greg are you planning on switching up the pins after 1st round?

by **Rubiks** » Fri Aug 05, 2011 8:20 am

I actually played a round of disc golf with Steve Irwin five or six years ago down in Florida.

by **ricker112** » Fri Aug 05, 2011 2:12 pm

They are where they will be tommorow right?

by **monsterboys76** » Fri Aug 05, 2011 9:34 pm

Everything is all set for tourney tomorrow. could not get the lava so we just sprayed a circle instead, sorry to let everyone down. I did order a bit of sun, rain, wind, and heat for tomorrow. I would like to get most of the elements in one tourney. To me that is a real test of skill

SEE YOU TOMORROW!!

by **Rich Meade** » Fri Aug 05, 2011 9:42 pm

whooo weeee...

a few of us decided to test out the 'island" in some serious wind this evening...
I think out of a 50+ shots from the blues... only like 7 made it in...
Of course there was a hellish left to right/tailwind at around 25+mph...

If conditions are anything like that tomorrow, #1 is going to be one hell of a hole...

Congrats to Greg and the GDGO guys and gals for doubling thier doubles field. :mrgreen:

Wish I coulda played on my birthday, as I like ALEX and the AAA, but finishing up getting ready for the flight to CALI is more important!!!

by **gvan** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 9:33 pm

It took some time to decipher the scorecards for the results. I should have taken the board cards.

Please check your scores and post a comment if I need to check something again.
