2010 DGCR Mid Atlantic Meet
Hawk Hollow (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=3252) – Spotsylvania, VA
October 1st, 2nd, 3rd

All DGCR members are invited to the 2010 DGCR Mid Atlantic Meet being held at Hawk Hollow (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=3252), a private course maintained by our very own John Biscoe. This 27 hole course plays over 90 acres of scenic Virginia country farm land filled with elevation changes and water hazards and is regarded as one of the best courses in the country. Come see why DGCR members have said:


“Hawk Hollow is an excellent example of course design. "Risk versus Reward" is a necessary requirement of a great course and it's very apparent that a lot of thought went into every hole. “ – Zenbot
-----
“Hawk Hollow is my favorite course out of the 350 or so courses I have played thus far; the design is fantastic, the scenery beautiful, and the aura is friendly and relaxing.” – cefire
-----
“Get used to saying wow, you'll say it again [and again].” – tmahan



Yes, all DGCR members, their families, and a guest are invited to come, however if you are not from the Mid-Atlantic region, we ask you RSVP an event organizer with your intentions so we can plan accordingly.

Please post below with your questions, comments, concerns, and intentions on attending.

Be sure to mark the poll with the most accurate chance of your attendance.
Mark your calendars now and break it to the significant-other early.

[gottafixit]

I should be able to make it out for a day if not more, think this is a great choice in local.

[RussMB]

I want to, but it's too far out to make a definitive yes or no. This unemployment thing makes it hard to plan too far in advance. I'm definitely going to try!

[solomon.trenton]

do you have a schedule for each day set?

[jkdisc]

do you have a schedule for each day set?

a schedule hasnt been set for each day

[prerube]

Ofcourse the date chosen is my daughter's 1st birthday :(, but I'll still be there.

Skip that day, bud. It's cool.

[jrawk]

a schedule hasnt been set for each day

This will be figured out as we get a better idea of attendance.

It will make most sense to have the Course Walkthrough Saturday morning.

[bikinjack]

You can put me down for a definite maybe. I might be able to pull that off, but I don't know.

[Beable]

I voted Maybe. Definitely interested, but no idea if I'll be able to make it.

[G Bud]

Gotta work Friday but glow golf would work. I know I will be booked Saturday until mid afternoon. Best chance is Sunday. That's our usual golf day.

Great idea!! :thmbup: Even greater it will be close to home!! :clap:

[prerube]

Skip that day, bud. It's cool.

I'll make it up to her :)

[Kwick]

would love to make it. I heard great things about the area, as it has a pdga event. the grange, tiki course, glow golf, nothing but great reviews about this place.

hopefully i can make it, sounds like a blast

[Terry C]

I would be coming from Michigan so its a long hike, but I'm definitely thinking hard about it.

[jrawk]

Good response so far. Prerube didn't mark the poll yet, tho. *cough*


Also, we're exploring the idea of printing up some basic t-shirts if there's enough interest?

(We're trying to keep the donation as low as possible, so these would be ala-cart options).

[Disc Dog]

If you miss out on this you would have to be on some real bad stuff. It would make the posts Apothecary makes in a certain thread look like a perfect 10.

[justin]

I'm in. My Va friends are the ones who got me into this game. I make at least one trip down each year and I'm visiting them next month so chances I won't make it are extremely small. I'll be able to drag one of them to the event. Not sure if we'd want to camp or just stay at his place in Manassas. I'd love to see some sort of fund raising for the site/Tim even if it's $1 for each participant and we send him a small check.

I'm in for shirts or whatever. Keep the ideas flowing. I might be willing to front some cash for a DGCR custom stamp order.

[prerube]

Are you happy now :p

[Disc Dog]

What kind of items are you looking for to use as prizes. Do they have to be stricly DG related. I often get great deals on tools and stuff where I work. Would something like that be okay.

[jrawk]

What kind of items are you looking for to use as prizes. Do they have to be stricly DG related. I often get great deals on tools and stuff where I work. Would something like that be okay.

While we are having competitive events, the main theme of this meet is to socialize with fellow DGCR members while playing disc golf. It really isn't intended to see who could win a "grand prize."

I'm hoping TimG *cough* and maybe a few DG stores would donate a t-shirt or something small to give away as prizes, to those who win the doubles and one-disc competitions. I guess they don't have to be DG related. But we're trying to keep away from any extra expenses as possible. So purchasing tools for prizes isn't really on target.

For example:
I had the idea of everybody donating a used disc to put in a basket. We'll hand out raffle tickets to everybody and we'll draw one out at a time. When your number is called, it's your turn take one disc of your choice from the basket. You could take your own back or you could take one somebody else put in. So maybe if there's a DG Retailer out there that wants to donate a disc with their stores stamp/ink on it, we can add it to the basket. And the store would get some easy and direct advertising out of it.

[gottafixit]

I think the disc idea is great, because I'm sure most people will have at least one disc they could manage to get rid of if they know they are getting one in return. I think the DGCR fund would be good thing to. So i see one disc and doubles what else is on the event list?

[jrawk]

Have any ideas?

[justin]

I wish we could band together to build a nice 9 hole course during the weekend like a Peace/Americorps sort of project. You know, some way to give back and spread the good word of disc golf. I know that's impossible but maybe we can try to schedule a group cleanup on a course that needs it. Didn't Loriella loose its biggest advocate a year or so ago? Maybe a course like that could use some help or another course could use an improvement.

It would be nice to see the DGCR weekend leave an impact on a local course.

[jrawk]

*scratches head*

why not Hawk Hollow?

[justin]

Are you implying HH is not flawless? ;)

Whatever. John's hosting us so that would be the least we could do. It would be great if we could build some tee pads but I don't imagine he's looking for that.

I prefer the idea of fixing up a public course that the general public would actually see though.
That's just my opinion. I would love it if other people were into volunteering someplace though.

[jrawk]

As far as HH, the goal is to leave the course sunday with it in better shape than when we got there. So late in the day Sunday we'll get volunteers to walk the course with trash bags and divot repair tools. ;)

And I think you have a solid idea. Maybe we can do it at a different course on a completely unrelated date. Bryan Lake in Richmond or Burke Lake in Fairfax would be great candidates. Tons of exposure. I'd be willing to help plan and coordinate this with you if you are willing. Shoot me a PM.

[jkdisc]

let me know about those other canidates as well, im not too far away!

Sounds good. I'm glad I'm not alone in the desire to improve.
Look for a PM soon.

[gottafixit]

I think its a good idea but it would depending on what we are considering, if we are just talking walking a course and picking up trash and stuff thats easy and would be a great thing to do before playing a round or during, before playing the hole everyone walks it picks up then you play the hole. If your talking making a constructial improvement that would take some working with either a local group or the parks dept. I'm for the cleaning slash playing idea.

[justin]

Oh I want to do it all ;) I think with 10 or 20 people you could clear out a fairway and essentially build a single hole in less than a day.

I've ben thinking about it and I think it might be best to just get an idea of how things are going during the weekend and discuss something like this for 2011 if it still seems appropriate.

But yes, if we go play another (public) course I think we should make a point as a group to not leave a piece of trash behind. I'll bring trash bags :D

[jrawk]

Bryan Park (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=776&mode=ci) still has natural tees and no tee signs. You'd think a group of 10+ volunteers would make short work at installing the Tee signs at least. And depending on the material (crushed stone or rubber mats), new tee boxes wouldn't be hard either. Those improvements would significantly boost DGCR review points.

[justin]

Boosting review points? I love the way you said that.

That's along the lines of what I was thinking. If there was grunt work to do like installing materials already purchased I think we could make a real impact. If this could become a standard of DGCR Meets then maybe we could talk courses into volunteerism like this on an annual/semi-annual basis in exchange for putting a DGCR sign at the kiosk or something.

Plus, I haven't played any Richmond courses so if it adds a course to my list I'll do whatever's needed :D

[jrawk]

Standard DGCR meets is a little rash... it'll certainly be a variety of one. ;)

But lets face it, this site revolves around reviews. If a majority of reviewers notice a specific flaw at a certain course, why not get a team together and explore fixing it?

What's the worse that can happen, the park and rec says "no thanks".

[jrawk]

this stuff needs to be split into its own thread.

[kerplunk]

If I am still living in NC at that point I will come for sure. I'll try to be more definitive if/when I get a job.

[justin]

C'mon Kerplunk. We can rehash ye olde Wedgie/DROT discussion.

Although a fantastic Idea, Bryan park(the city) I don't think wants better tee pads, or at least doesn't want to pay for them.

As for posting a DGCR sign at the course, if your local course has a kiosk and doesn't all ready have one then shame on you. I designed my kiosk around the DGCR sign(not really but it sounds good and the sign is a major focus). Take a staple gun out there and do what is needed.

[DiscJunkie]

That's the weekend before the USDGC.
It'll be tough to make both events.
I'm still a definite maybe.

You can do it! I've heard it's the time of year when the course is at its best. ;)

[jrawk]

Prerube, Myself and Luv2throw played all 27 holes at hawk hollow yesterday. This course is a Disc Golf experience nobody here should pass up.

I urge everyone mildly interested to come for at least one day. Hawk Hollow will not disappoint.

[jrawk]

Anybody want to take a crack at a t-shirt logo for this event? I whipped up the header logo in 10 minutes, but don't think it lends itself nicely to T-shirts.

http://www.dgcoursereview.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=604&pictureid=4309

Whoever makes the agreed upon logo will get their shirt free!

[sloppydisc]

Thanks to those that have planned this event. Great work. I will try to make it. Once it gets a little closer I'll give you a definite answer. Kids or work could screw me up if I plan too far out. I hope to be there. I might be able to help with food and cooking if you need more help. I have been known to cook some mean wings. Let me know if any help is needed.

[Kwick]

Thanks to the organizers for setting this up. I want to be there, but can't give a yes so far out.

I know the drive is doable, as several friends went to the PDGA in spotslvania (sp?) a few months back and had an amazing time playing all the local courses (including tiki golf into the wee hours of the morning)

Hopefully I can get a car pool going (bcr123psu???). I don't think i've ever wished for october to be here already until now.

[jrawk]

Just a heads up: from your direction don't do the drive on friday. Baltimore, DC, maybe Philly too. What might take 4 hours will easily be 7-8 hours on a friday. I'd suggest late thursday night or early saturday morning.

[Kwick]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll look into my options when the time comes. I do know that 95 south will be a nightmare on a friday.

[adlacro]

I might be there, too far out to tell. Looking to get out and play some new courses, a lotta variety being in the Valley but after playing the same courses over and over and over again you want something new.

[keltik]

I'm definitely interested but I'm going to wait until the end of the summer to cast my vote. How close is this to the USDGC?

[mrjohnahawley]

I have wanted to go to this course for years. I have been to all of the surrounding courses, I just never had the opportunity to get there. Unemployment, money, availability, babysitting, and wife will determine if I get there. Tooooooo soon to tell yet, but I REALLY want to!

[prerube]

Ofcourse the date chosen is my daughter's 1st birthday :(, but I'll still be there.

For the record I did acknowledge it was Coraline's first birthday. So when my wife says I never told her, she's full of crap (gets smacked by nosey wife reading over sholder)

[jrawk]

This'll be the perfect chance! :hfive:

Just come out for one day. Within the next month or so we'll be plotting the schedule of events and start asking for RSVP's. Looks like at least 25 people will be coming by (i'm sure this will increase as time draws nearer) so the donation to cover expenses will be nice and low. :thmbup:

[Beable]

Pfft, if there was ever a birthday to skip, it's the first one. They don't know wtf a birthday is yet.

[Disc Dog]

Just a heads up for everyone.

I talked with jrawk and I have contacted a friend that owns a company, Peace Frogs (http://peacefrogs.com/) , that can professionally design and print the shirts. He has agreed to do them at a discount. I will be meeting with him on the design next week. Once we finish the design I will submit it to jrawk, jkdisc, prerube, vegan ray, and biscoe.

If I have their approval then to everyone else.

I have had this guy help me before and he does great stuff.

[Disc Dog]

I forgot. The reason I brought this up is because I need a rough count of how many t-shirts we may need. So please chime and let me know.

[jrawk]

cheaper the better, Dave. Solid color shirt with one color print.

Thanks a lot for the help. :thmbup:

Oh, and i'd say at least 25.

[G Bud]

I'll come just for the tee shirt! :)

[jrawk]

I like this design:

How far is this, how much time, how easy, etc, from Middletown, VA?

[Disc Dog]

How far is this, how much time, how easy, etc, from Middletown, VA?

The course is the best in Virginia and is private. You will not find it on the map here on this website because you have to have permission from the owner to play there. Who is a great guy and a very active person on this website. He goes by biscoe.

His love of discgolf and the people here has prompted him to offer us the chance to meet and play there.

The course is near The Grange (which has 3 great courses) is all I can tell you, and that is in Spotsylvania county. The approximate distance is about 70 miles from Middletown.

[jrawk]

The course is not far from Lake Anna State Park (http://maps.google.com/maps/place?cid=78216820964128377&q=lake+anna+state+park,+va&hl=en&cd=1&cad=src:pplink&ei=4XoiTPntC4SuNavc2PMI). You can estimate your travel time to the course by mapping its location.

If you mean the Middletown, VA east of the Chesapeake, it is quite a long and expensive trip. Google maps says 4 hours via the tunnel under the water.

As long as you mark the poll on the front page, we are going to send out RSVP invitations via PM's in another month or two.

I know it's almost July, but October still seems sooo far away.

I will be responding to the poll now.

"Post count doesn't matter"
That's funny considering all of the add-nothing comments out there from people who have been on here for a few months with post counts over 1,000.

You know, comments that don't help with the discussion at hand and are just an excuse for someone to....talk... Hmm, I'll shut-up now.

I did a really dumb thing and got engaged recently. We're getting married the weekend after the HH meetup so I fear what this will probably mean for my attendance.

Here I was ready to order a Bouncy Castle.

I like your idea better... I'll make it for two bouncy castles!

Make it a bouncy castle & a slip 'n slide. Ask for extra hand sanitizer, as well. (my usual order)

[justin]

You guys are awesome. I will try to play that angle though. I really don't want to miss this and the time I was there in 2009 I only got to play 1-18 so I've got some unfinished business with the Hollow.

27 at HH will beat you down so bad you'll feel like you've already been married for 20 years.

Or you'll enjoy it so much you wish to remain single for another twenty.

Yeah I know MD is south of the mason dixon, but I consider the MD/VA line to be the real line. As soon as I cross the line into VA its like another world and people can't drive!

[Disc Dog]

I forgot. The reason I brought this up is because I need a rough count of how many t-shirts we may need. So please chime and let me know.

Just a heads up for everyone.

I talked with jrawk and I have contacted a friend that owns a company, Peace Frogs (http://peacefrogs.com/) , that can professionally design and print the shirts. He has agreed to do them at a discount. I will be meeting with him on the design next week. Once we finish the design I will submit it to jrawk, jkdisc, prerube, vegan ray, and biscoe.

If I have their approval then to everyone else.

I have had this guy help me before and he does great stuff.

cheaper the better, Dave. Solid color shirt with one color print.

Thanks a lot for the help. :thmbup:

Oh, and i'd say at least 25.


My friend has all of the pictures and slogans and is working on the shirts. I'll let you know when they are finished.

[prerube]

This is coming up quickly. Once summer is over we will be frantically planning and promoting.

[jblough]

I'll most likely be there, barring some weird teaching commitment.

[prerube]

Ok, I have a big ass tent for anyone who wans to camp. I have 4 beat up tents for the event, but one is a canvas military style and may be too hot to camp inside. I also purchased and easy up and a water cooler for the event.

its in Spotslyvania, VA, camping on site is probable or nearby lake anna state park or the grange. travel time shouldn't be too bad for you

[jrawk]

2 hours from Baltimore if you time traffic right. Just map Lake Anna State Park.

Exact address will be sent after RSVPs are sent out and returned. (couple more weeks)

The 1st is going to be mostly "do your own thing" and social things. Friday night might be a pilgrimage to the Grange for Tiki Golf.

We'll start working on the schedule of events this weekend.

Grange glo golf has a $10 entry fee.

[jrawk]

Grange glo golf has a $10 entry fee.

is that for glo on the full courses or simply the tiki course at night?

[Vegan Ray]

There is random-draw glo dubs every Friday night. Back 9 of Sunnyside + 18 Tiki. I guess if somebody wanted to come & play Darkside of Sunnyside front, it'd be $5 (but pretty bad form & stupid, to boot).

[aPfaff]

the doubles on sunday will it be random teams or do you have to find a partner

[aPfaff]

Do you have to pre register for everything?

[jrawk]

Sunday, 1pm, Random doubles - just bring your own body. ;)


Saturday's doubles are determined by the singles round results in the morning. Still wouldn't need a partner, but you would need to play the singles round.

[jrawk]

Do you have to pre register for everything?

As long as you've marked the poll, you will get an RSVP invitation via Private Message (PM) when we start sending them out. We have not started sending them out. You will have to reply to the PM, answering some general questions, and then also provide the donation (to be determined). When we receive the donation, you will be sent the directions to the course.

The donation will kept as low as possible. And it will be per day. So if you want to come only one day, you are only donating for one day. All donations will be used for the events expenses (job-johnny, food, etc.).

The more people that RSVP back intending to come, the lower the donation will be. I don't expect it to be over $20 total for a 3 day stay. Probably half of that for one day.

[aPfaff]

final question how much will it cost me to play in the sundays double after the donation thank you

[jrawk]

The donation. That is all.


know that this is a non-profit, social event. Prizes will be limited and rather underwhelming. lol

The whole purpose of the weekend is to meet other forum members and play some disc golf with them. :)

[sloppydisc]

Great job. Good to see it so well organized. I will try to make sure me and my underwhelming skills are there. I will give you a definitive answer as we get closer.

[Disc Dog]

Wow that is a great schedule.

The design for the t-shirt should be done by next week. I will keep you up to date. You may want to consider including that in the donation once I have the final price.

Also, I am taking vacation for the event. I can come over a day early if you need help, I only live about 80 minutes away. But I need to know to get in on the schedule asap.

Thanks Dave, Help friday morning is appreciated. I will be arriving at 9am.

As the event draws closer, we'll discuss things people can bring that we'll need to run the show and also ask for some volunteer time for a few of the sessions.

[jrawk]

Oh and anybody that can stay for the cleanup Sunday (6-9pm) would be humongous help.

[Vegan Ray]

Your schedule has some fatal flaws. You need to get into contact with Biscoe ASAP.

[jkdisc]

fatal?

[prerube]

Did Biscoe double book?

[Vegan Ray]

There is no way he'll be available before noon (at the absolute earliest, probably more like 2pm) on Saturday. He makes a significant portion of his living at Saturday morning farmers' markets & will be at one that morning.

[jkdisc]

let zenbot be the guide

[Vegan Ray]

I'm sure he'll do it if you pay to fly him in.

[jrawk]

Okay. No problem. We had discussed it way back when we first dreamed this all up. John had agreed to it then. But times were not mentioned. So instead, i nominate Ray. :p

[G Bud]

Due to commitments on Fri & Sat., can most likely only play in Sunday Doubles. :( But will come with camera in tow for the Saturday afternoon activities. :thmbup: Thanks for all the efforts! :clap:

[Kwick]

Great job to everyone that is organizing this. Can we switch our vote? I'm currently at 50% and would like to bump it to 75%.

I might also be looking for a carpool coming from a little north of Philly.

The events schedule looks great. I'd likely use the free time to hit up darkside/sunnyside. I know the events schedule is tentative, but I'm not sure how I feel about tombstone tourney (I have never done one, but understand how they work). If we have a big group, it seems as if there is wasted time since we all have to tee off in same spot, and only 4 start at a time. It might also make a long walk for people that finish early.

[jkdisc]

as far as the tombstone round, right now there are only 11 definetes, the number will go up but right now the time doesnt look like an issue.

[Kwick]

say we have 30. we could have 6 groups of 4, and 2 groups of 3.

I think it would waste time in this example to have a group waiting for about a half hour before they tee off. It will also create a log jam if the event any group is slow/lost discs, when most of the course will be open.

Obviously 11 wouldn't be a problem, but at some number of players i think it would make sense to do a normal round. Just my 2 cents. can't wait for this event and to play Hawk Hallow.

[jrawk]

Keep in mind how early the tombstone round starts. The first people to tee off will be those camping on-site the night before. Then as people arrive later, they can tee off. It takes 2.5 hours for a group of 4 to play 18. The tombstone round will take less time for the group of 4 to complete since everyone is limited to the number of throws. And if there is enough time after you 'die', just keep playing.

We can't stress it enough. This is a social event. Cmon out and play. If you want to play a normal round of golf during the tombstone rounds, go for it! :thmbup:

[jrawk]

Also there will be two divisions (you choose which one you want to play in division).
Two groups will be teeing off at the same time on different holes.
Advanced get 58 strokes and will start on hole 1 (just an example).
Ameture get 70 Strokes and will start on hole 10.

[jrawk]

And lastly, there will be no wasted time.

Things to do while you wait to tee off:

Take some throws on the Ace Run hole while you wait (extra donation required).
Play some tailgate games i.e. cornhole, washer toss, ladder ball, etc
BS with other DGCR members.
Help Ray prepare lunch.
Help Biscoe churn butter. :p

[jrawk]

While i brought up the Ace Run hole, here's what I had in mind.


We mark a tee off area to one of the baskets near by.
For $5.00 extra you get 10 throws, using your own discs.
If you make the Ace, you get 75% of the total end-of-day pot earned.
25% automatically goes to Hawk Hollow as a donation to the course itself.
If more than one person Aces during the day, all split the 75% evenly.
Play as many times as you'd like. Every 10 throws is another $5.00.
So if 30 people play the ace run, the pot is $112 and Biscoe gets a $38 donation.
If nobody gets an ace, Biscoe gets it all as a donation to Hawk Hollow for course upkeep/improvements.

[Kwick]

Gotcha.

I didn't want my comments to sound negative, just throwing out an opinion.

This seems well organized and should be a blast.

Possible Prize: furthest traveler.... It would be interesting to see how far some people come for this.

[jrawk]

Nope, no negativity. Sorry if i sounded like a preacher.

And i LOVE the furthest traveler prize idea! Of course, since it was your idea, you're disqualified from the winning :p

[Kwick]

I'm sure there will be someone further than 4 hours (no traffic, fingers crossed)

[chrishysell]

Also there will be two divisions (you choose which one you want to play in division).
Two groups will be teeing off at the same time on different holes.
Advanced get 58 strokes and will start on hole 1 (just an example).
Ameture get 70 Strokes and will start on hole 10.

How many strokes for pro's?

I guess it really doesn't matter because there is a Pro Only PDGA event in Charlottesville that day and it's also an ODDS event. It's my burden. Who needs a ride?


So, how will Saturday's doubles work? Best round paired with worse? Create a reward for best round or else there could be some bagging.

[chrishysell]

Also, someone should get an award for being the farthest traveler

If ya'll really wanna win Vegan Rays 2nd hand jock strap that much, go ahead and bag! :hfive: If you're a 1000+ rated pro, i'm sure all of us will be wishing you were in our 4 some anyway, so go ahead and bag! :D

Again, this is a social event. A meet and greet. A mixer, if you will. A chance to play at one the most heralded courses in the country with all of your online buddies at DGCR.

Prizes, for every competition, will be rather underwhelming unless somebody catches wind and donates some nice prizes. The suggested donation to attend the event is to cover the price of logistics.

[chrishysell]

Nope, not a 1000 rated. I think i've only recorded one 1000+ rated round all year. I'm the guy who shoots the hottest round in a tournament and because my rating is low it's rated below 1000 and all of the other pros complain that I lower their rating. Call me the spoiler.

I'll eat Ray's BBQ but you guys can fight over his jockstrap.

I'd watch out for Biscoe at his course. He beat me by a stroke when I played there a few weeks ago.

[jrawk]

Right on! C'mon and play. You can gift his boulder holder to second place :p

[Kwick]

Any update on Invites being sent out, possibly with a FAQ on camping, things to bring, etc.

Really looking forward to this event

[chrishysell]

travel tag play?

Would you need any additional baskets for extra activities like the ace hole? I have an M-14 that is a piece of cake to toss in the truck and bring along. Just drop me a PM.

Invitations will most likely start going out the end of August or beginning of September. We want to get a good feel for food prices and a rough head count.

If you plan on staying overnight at Hawk Hollow, consider it primitive camping with no electricity or water. There is local camping at Lake Anna otherwise. I am not aware of amenities there, but click here for the website (http://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state_parks/lak.shtml).

What questions do you have for camping? we can start addressing them now.

Some things to bring if you can:
- Extra coolers
- Portable tables
- Portable chairs
- Portable canopies
- Tailgate games (beanbag toss, washer toss, ladder ball, etc)

This stuff will be listed for response on the RSVP if you can bring any.

Different places to camp?
Hawk hallow
Lake Anna
The Grange

Maybe a general time it takes to get to HH from them

That link is good and I'll need to research that when I get some more time. I, like most I assume, will be looking to camp and will base it on :
Price
Ammenities (water, showers, electric)
Set up tent or have cabin
Location (distance to HH, grange, loriealla (sp), etc)


Maybe there is a cheap hotel/motel close by that people could split for two nights. I'd probably prefer to split a hotel for friday and saturday night if the room would be $100 or less a night.

Maybe also knowing where to pick up ice, food, gas (i have no idea what spotslyvania consists of).

Perhaps a list of course rules. no alcohol or drugs for example. if allowed, where do you get them or bring your own (alcohol that is).

2 more months, make sure to put those PTO requests in with work and the GF's/Wife

[Disc Dog]

Upon approval by the organizing committee here are the t-shirt design and prices...

The minimum order for shirts is 48 and they will be $10.00 a piece. If we hit 100 they go down and if we hit 144 it is only $6.00 per shirt.

When sending invitations can we include how many and what sizes as part of the invitation? Also, it may be a good idea to plan for those who do not order ahead, do not have the money yet, and those who show at the last minute.

The second one is from Peace Frogs, the company that is doing the shirt. He is keeping the price down by putting this on the front. These are the first shirts made with this design. You will be seeing it in the future, a lot, if all goes well. More on that later.

This one will be on the back.

As stated in early posts (i know 160 is a lot to page back into), both Lake Anna and the Grange are less than 10 minutes driving time using the speed limit. We have been telling everybody that mapping directions to Lake Anne will be a great way to estimate distances. We wouldn't tell people to do that if it was not very close. Heh. I can't get any more explicit than that.

Please go back and re-read the original post in this thread. It should get you pointed in the right directions. Spotsylvania near I-95 is a shoppers oasis.
Hawk Hollow is roughly 30 minutes from those attractions, however there is a local grocery store.

We are not organizing lodging for anybody. If you know of others coming you can make plans with them.

The brown shading can go bye-bye I was not real up on it. The reason I did not go with the big bird was because either the banner cut up the wings making it look, well, cut up or the wings covered over the banner making it hard to read banner.

As for the other one I wanted an unbiased opinion so I let it out there as I did. I do not like the term FROLF but it was a decent play on words with frog and golf. As for the Ching it does not sound right.

How about these.

attaching the one above again incase ya'll can't see it.

[Disc Dog]

The designs I came up with are not contolled by anyone but me. If we want to they can be used where ever jrawk can use them for $5.00 a piece. I did not know it was possible to get them so cheap.

[G Bud]

Both are cool! :clap: I am leaning towards Disc Dog's mainly because of two sides. I won't gripe with either one or the cost. (build up of excitement begins!) :D

[Kwick]

Having two sides is sweet, but I'd rather have a side blank than have "peace frolf" or "PF CHING" on it.

Maybe have the hawk from post 174 (but remove "mid atlantic meet up) on the front. Either big across the chest or as a small picture on the left chest side.

than on the back have a big picture of the Hawk on a basket (post 169),or the black hawk catching a disc (post 169) with the "DG.. meet up... etc" with it.

That'd be a sweet shirt that i'd be proud to wear and would get a bunch of use out of.

great idea and feedback. thanks

[Kwick]

Would anyone be interested in getting an ace race players pack? I should be able to pick up some ace race players packs, but would want to know if there is any interest. i can bring them down to Hawk Hallow for the meet up.

[prerube]

This is coming up REALLY soon. If you are coming and need a tent to crash in PM me. I am far less homoerotic than Frank. Costs will be posted soon, but bring ones (no not for strippers) we will be selling soda, water, snacks, etc.

[jkdisc]

confederate money accepted

[prerube]

If I can deposit it into an M&T bank, I'll take it. Loonies, wompum, shillings what ever.

[gottafixit]

I'm sure there will be someone further than 4 hours (no traffic, fingers crossed)

I'm coming from DC and there is a good chance it could take me 4 hours to get there.

[gottafixit]

I'm a fan of this one.

Were there any other peace frog designs worked up? I gave feedback on that thread but lost track of it.

I think we're going with the hawk head logo. As much as I'd like to do double sided, it'll be a bit more for that. Maybe next year. :)

Also, invitations will go out this weekend. So keep your eyes on your PM boxes.

Everybody will be required to answer a questionnaire and submit the donation (paypal preferred. or mail a check). When both the answers to the questionnaire are received, you'll get another PM with confirmation and the all important address/directions.

More details later.

[Disc Dog]

It is getting close.

[Disc Dog]

I am staying in a hotel. What is closer? Thornburg or Fredricksburg? I have a sleep disorder and need to sleep with a machine so I need to do this.

[jrawk]

Pm'd ya

Hey you are voting for yours can I vote for mine? :D

Your vote doesn't count. :p


Honestly, i'm choosing the hawk head logo for the sake of simplicity and sanity. But don't worry, you earned the free shirt for helping the most with the design process. :clap:

[Kwick]

Can't wait for these invites. officially less than a month away.

[prerube]

They are being drafted now and you should get one by the end of the weekend :)

[biscoe]

thornburg by a smidge.

[Disc Dog]

Thanks biscoe. I have made my plans accordingly.

[Ripper]

This still open sorry been wanting to play Virginia or West Virginia and have those days off. Would love to make the trip out!!!

Yes sir, put a mark in the poll above and you'll get an invitation when they go out later this weekend.

Note: newcomers to this thread can still mark the poll after this weekend. we'll notice and get you an invite. This'll be in effect until Oct 1st.

[Kwick]

the suspense is too much. everyone i talk to raves about Hawk Hallow, with 1 con of cow pies, and not the chocolate kind

[jrawk]

Prerube, JKdisc, Kachtz and myself are play'n tomorrow :)

[jkdisc]

Prerube, JKdisc, Kachtz and myself are play'n tomorrow :)

i'm totally stoked!

[jrawk]

Invitations are going out in PMs today (monday).
If you haven't received one by midnight, post a reply with your email address.

[jrawk]

Invites went out. PM me if you haven't received it.

[Ripper]

Pm sent back! Camping situation does it cost anything extra I have a tent and sleeping bag etc. Also, any Mountain Bike Trails around there !

[biscoe]

entire course could be construed to be a mountain bike trail

[WillACarpenter]

I love this idea, wish it wasn't the same time as the NE Ohio Roc Vs. BuZzz tourney.

I'd like to do both, may not do either...we'll see.

Anybody from Rochester, Syracuse, Buffalo area looking to go? Wanna go together?

\/\/

[prerube]

Just watch out for the Bovine landmines :)

[prerube]

If anyone NOT going would like to still donate prizes (maybe even a gag prize) let me know.
This is not going to be like a PDGA tourney where the winner of each event walks away with an arm load of discs.

[Beable]

What's the feeling on young uns being around? I'd like to come, but not sure if I should bring my wife and two year old or not.

[prerube]

We do not discriminate, but if you are camping, the wife and chillins' may get bored while you are playing hours of disc golf. Most PDGA courtesy rules apply, except I think you will be able to drink while you play as long as you don't litter.
The atmosphere should be kept suitable for children, I do not know if anyone plans on bringing any illegal substances, but personally I would say it would be pretty rude for anyone to assume our host would risk having illegal substances on his land.

[Beable]

Yeah, entertaining themselves goes without saying. I just wanted to check so I don't show up and irritate people with the kiddo.

[chrishysell]

Am I the only one worried that Vegan Ray may add some special spice to the food he prepares?

Lake Anne state park is not far away. Biking trails there. I'm sure it would keep the kids and spouse entertained for at least one day as well. There is a huge (HUGE) shopping complex about 30 minutes east that can easy consume another day.

We were scheduled first, you know. :p

[kachtz]

this course is awesome! the cows do a lot of work on it too!

Jrawk whooped up on Prerube when we played there...and they played 100% by the rules especially on the last hole =-O

He always cooks the meat there

BS!!!!! Jrawk took a mulligan to beat me the first time, I won. The second game I won fair and square. I also won The Grange after a Triple tie breaker!

[prerube]

HAHA shows what you know, We scored in the 40's!
every 9 holes

Hawk Hallow vs NE Ohio. No brainer Will. Come south.

[kachtz]

i believe par on the course is 63

[prerube]

What to expect: THIS IS NOT A PDGA EVENT! This is a DGCR meet and greet. Food should be good, but prizes will be like the forums, 80% junk and jokes 20% good stuff. It should feel like living on a hippie Dg commune for the weekend.

[chrishysell]

i believe par on the course is 63

It's okay to shoot under par.

[biscoe]

if hysell has shot in the 50's out there it escapes my memory.

[gottafixit]

I'll be bringing my box of extras and I can donate a few prizes.

[sidewinder22]

Im not gonna make it this year, injuries are just killing me. You all should have a blast at Hawk Hallow!

[chrishysell]

if hysell has shot in the 50's out there it escapes my memory.

well then sharpen your memory. Two years ago Tim Barr shot probably a 56-60 and I think I shot a 58-59 to finish 2nd. You made some smart remark about thinking I would never shoot in the 50's at HH. It was in the USDGC qualifier or something. I can give you the dates because I aced hole #6.

[jrawk]

Good response so far. Thanks to everyone that has replied. Still haven't heard from a bunch.

[G Bud]

Looks like my schedule may only allow for attendance on Sunday. But I gotta have the T!! :thmbup: Will make official reply soon. Thanks for the efforts. :clap:

[Disc Dog]

i believe par on the course is 63

63 if you play the regular 18 but 94 if you play all 27. The average score for 18 is 74.

[kachtz]

my goal is to shoot in the 80s! rawr!!!

[Cyclops]

Well, if I can get in on the car pool with Kwick? I'm in. I have 3 tents, and a Camper, cots and anything you could ever imagine for camping. But staying in a cabin or motel would be nicer and less work. I'd prefer to spend my time playing DG and not doing camping chores.

So as soon as I find out the details from Kwick, I'll be able give my word.

[jrawk]

Cyclops, I'm PM'ing you the invitation now. Lodging/camping (even if at Hawk Hollow) is entirely your decision and own responsibility. If you haven't, shoot Kwick a PM about the carpool.

[Beable]

Hopefully there will be other nooby noobs for me to play against. :P Screw you guys talking about going under par.

[biscoe]

jerry- what did you shoot yesterday? i gimped my way to 76 forehand.

[DISC_combobulated]

Anyone from NC going/camping... maybe carpooling? I have a small motorcycle camper I was thinking of draggin up with my car. Go up Fri (maybe hit a dg course on the way) and come back Sun night or hang out and come back Monday and hit a different dg course on the way back.

Let me know...

Stay inbounds and a noob can beat an AM players at Hawk Hollow.

There is an OB on every hole except for #2. I guess you could hit a tree and roll back down the fairway into the water. That would be evil.

[jrawk]

Finished at 74 with a circle 6 on 15 and circle 7 on 18. The wind was playing tricks with me. Could have been 68 if i were more attuned to mother nature.

Is it ever not windy on that end of the course?

[Cyclops]

Yep, been talking with him about the details. The car pooling is no problem. As soon as the details are clear I'll reply to your invitation. Thanks

[Kwick]

As long as cyclops isn't referring to one-eyed willy i'm sure there's a spot in my car.

[Disc Dog]

LOL:D! thanks I needed that.

[jrawk]

I want to thank everybody that has responded to the invitations so far and everybody's willingness to lend a hand (and donate some prizes). Truly outstanding!

As time draws nearer, we'll start to sort out who can bring what and shoot ya'll a message with what to bring.

Also invitation reminders will go out sometime this weekend to those that haven't responded yet.

[sloppydisc]

Yeah I know MD is south of the mason dixon, but I consider the MD/VA line to be the real line. As soon as I cross the line into VA its like another world and people can't drive!

I have lived in multiply states, and the only thing worse than certain ethnic drivers in CA, are MD drivers. You guys, you know who you are, are not a NASCAR driver, and are also Not an Ice Road Trucker. But you DO suck on the road!

[BrotherDave]

I'd love to come, but I need to find out my school schedule and what not.

Maryland drivers have maryland education that means that drivers close to DC really do not know that 70 is more than 55. PG County people always speed, run red lights, and never follow basic right of ways. This doesn't make sense because PG has the most red light and speed cameras.

(PG = Prince George's....or Pretty Ghetto. It is bassically DC, Do not park your car anywhere in the county)

[jrawk]

It's just as bad inside the beltway. everybody feels the need to ride the bumper in front of them. If there is no bumper in front of them, it's petal to the metal until there is one.

And 20 feet of separation is an invitation to get cut off.

[jkdisc]

driving is the only thing i hate about living here

To any Pittsburgh folk - I'm driving to this and I don't think my wife will be coming. If you need a ride, shoot me a PM and maybe we can figure something out.

It would be great if you can be there!
