This series does trophies up real nice, I lived in Indy last year & played a couple. Good tourney value for your buck for sure. Hoping to drive down from MI for a couple if possible.

I wish I could play in all of the tournies. Pretty much all of them but Lemon Lake are within 1.5 hours of where I live. However, I work most Saturdays and we have a baby on the way and my wife probably won't let me play very many. I might try to do a few, but who knows.

Why dosen't this go more south into Indiana? In Florida they have the Florida Tour http://www.fabflatour.org/consisting of about 15-20 events per year for a points based system. I understand the differences in weather in Florida than Indiana, but you could start in March in southern Indiana, and end in late Oct or early Nov in Southern Indiana. Places like Terre Haute, Evansville, English, Patoka, ect there are all kinds of great courses in southern Indiana, and it would probably draw more competition further north if it was a points based series. It would not be uncommon for a people to drive 5-6hrs for the points based events if we knew they were going to be at our tournament in a couple of months.

[mmyersdisc]

Yeah, I don't know why we don't go more south, Indy is as far south as we go and I think its mainly becuase the TD's associate with the local clubs of those cities to get this event organized. I for one, am helping with the TD at my local course (george wilson). I just picked this flyer up at the tourny I played in on sunday and I knew somewhat about it but didn't know the schedule they had set up. It starts next weekend in kokomo (never played that course) so we will see how it goes! My college graduation is supposed to be that day...but I don't think im going to go considering you don't HAVE to walk to get your degree LOL...

[discflinger]

Dude, I wish I could hit all these up, but no license at the moment. I'm gonna try and hitch a ride to some of these; I'll let ya know if I'm bound.

[zud00]

I'll post here if I am going to make it to any.

The Kokomo course was ok. I did really well when I played it. It wasn't very long or even technical for that matter.

How many of these tournies do you think you are going to play mmyers?

[mmyersdisc]

honestly, I am going to try and play every one of them! I have a cousin that lives in indy..so im gonna see if I can crash and her place so I dont have to drive back everytime!...anyways, ill be in kokomo this weekend as long as I don't NEED to walk a my graduation (that is if I pass all my classes...oops) I know of a few guys from my mini's that will be there as well!

[zud00]

I'm jealous! Hopefully I'll get to meet you at one of these events. What division are you going to play in?

[mmyersdisc]

considering majority of the courses (except my home course Wilson) I do not know and have never played..I will be playing novice...Wilson I can shoot 6 under pro par but I tend to shoot like crap first round (learning the course) then 2nd round I come back with under par...but yeah..lol

[mmyersdisc]

7-Jun Michiana Open Pro/Am Mishawaka Wilson Park Mark Hazlep 574-993-5290


Sorry this is not called the Michiana open anymore, It's called the Power Of Soul....mark corrected me, I appologize for the mis-information

If you're shooting 6 under at Wilson, I really think you would be dipping LOW to play novice at any course just because you haven't played there. 6 under at Wilson says to me your game is good enough to be playing at least the mid to highest AM division.

Don't be 'that guy', who wipes the rec/novice division unfairly. :)

lol it will be my first sanctioned event..yeah i might be bagging...but Ill be more comfortable becuase I tend to blow my first round (learning the course) and then redeem myself the second round but by then its to late...like this past weekend at pieradise first round I shot 10 over..2nd I shot 1 under

[mmyersdisc]

May 9th Old Ben Classic---pro/open-$70 entry fee am/novice-$35 entry fee...players meeting is at 9:30 am and there will be a players pack (at least thats what the TD told me..) hope to see you guys there!!

[djext1]

Where?

[zud00]

It's on the first page of this thread on the schedule mmyersdisc listed-Highland Park in Kokomo, yo.:D

[djext1]

Guess I didn't think that through very well =P lol, thanks.

[mmyersdisc]

its also a C-tier event! I will be there as long as my wrist heals...I think I strained it parking a hole at rum village I can still forarm but that isn't as good of a game for distance...we will see

[discflinger]

OK, I'm trying to get a ride to Kokomo. I've never played the course, but always heard it was a good one. We'll see what happens.

Dude, you're in shape, just ride your bike! LOL, J/K. I wish I could play but I have to work. Good luck boys. I played that course really well the first time I played it; it's not difficult.

[mmyersdisc]

well good, im still gonna play in am3...whether I bag or not! I shot -2 at my home course today (playing with my friends who don't care if there in your way or whatever) so plenty of distractions :-/ and hopefully my wrist holds up tommorow...not doing that bad so far now that I messed with my technique a little...ill see you tommorow jon! im leaving here at like 6 and I should be getting there at like 8 so im gonna play a round before the tourny starts

[zud00]

How did the tourney go today Mike? Lots of people? How'd you shoot?

[AdamH]

I'm looking forward to the Checkered Flag in Indy since it's the closest one to me. Brookside is my favorite course in Indy but it's too bad we aren't playing a round at George Washington also. I think those two courses compliment each other really well.

[mmyersdisc]

How did the tourney go today Mike? Lots of people? How'd you shoot?

I shot 5 over for the day, lost 2 putters in the water and a brand new eagle....Finished 5th and missed the payout (4th spot) by 2 strokes... EVERYONE at bestshot was yelling at me when they heard I played novice :p so I will be playing the rest of the series in Am2/intermediate...we had a total of 89 participants which was a huge success, I hope to see that turnout at logansport this weekend!

Sorry this is not called the Michiana open anymore, It's called the Power Of Soul....mark corrected me, I appologize for the mis-information

Hey whats the scoop on this. Is there an online flyer or anything for the info (costs/divisions/players pack/payouts/times/etc). hook me up if you have one.

[mmyersdisc]

I havn't gotten the flyer yet, call mark hazlep for more info...he has the flyers but I havn't grabbed on yet...its a C-tier event, all divisions will be offered

[discflinger]

Good to meet you, Mike. Sorry I wasn't too jovial, but I was nursing a really bad hangover. That did reflect on my round, too; last spot to cash in Am II. Lost a brand new Champ Boss, but replaced it with a Star one with an Indiana Summer Series stamp. The temp course was sweeet! See you at Logansport, tomorrow!

[ShortBusDiscGolf]

how is the golf in indiana???????

[hilega]

The Haute is a quick drive from Indy and Deming Park is a great course!

ouch...I gave my buddy my champ boss that was beat becuase he lost his beat one AND his newer one....and 2 others of his favorites..im glad I only lost putters :p that temp course was badass...I parked hole 14 (the first one I met up with you and bombed it over the road haha) it was a fun time..I just hope the course isn't flooded tommorow..im gonna take alot of towels and water with me...

[discflinger]

Oh, yea! That was a great day for disc golf. I really liked how they moved the one basket that was in the water. It wasn't too bad other than the extreme downhill shot that murdered my rounds. Two 5's...Gggrrrrr. Took 6th and a CTP...not bad...for 3 1/2 hours sleep and a wicked buzz. Rip up Wilson, brotha, it's your time!

[mmyersdisc]

I better rip up wilson damn it!!! I shot 10 down today doubles at rum tonight...and tommorow they are bumping me up to A pool from now on :-/ so im basically playing pro division at my home courses (damn it haha) but I wish there weren't so many baggers in that division or else I probably would have placed also and you would have been further up lol

[discflinger]

Well, I'll be at Wilson on Sunday; in fact, we're coming up Saturday to get a couple rounds in and doing the camping thing (Mike PMed).

[mmyersdisc]

bump!!! Checkered flag open!! 2nd largest tournament in IN!!! Don't miss out!

[zud00]

What's the first largest? I know I won't be there. I hope I can play in the Ft. Wayne tourney and the Pieradise tourney, but chances are slim.

Indiana state championships at Lemon Lake this year ;)

[martinb]

Indiana state championships at Lemon Lake this year ;)

this is really a one-day tournament? and on a sunday?

[mmyersdisc]

this is really a one-day tournament? and on a sunday?

yep...there are 4 different courses on that land...its plenty large enough for a state-wide championship...its hosting the 2010 Pro Worlds, anyone that has ever played there knows of the caliber of that course

[martinb]

yes the worlds are gonna be there, and thats why im bummed you only have a one day tourney in august. if it was a two day tourney i could justify going out there this year to get ready for next year. :(

[zud00]

Mike-are the series points and standings listed anywhere? I know a couple people who have been playing and am interested in seeing how they are doing.

[mmyersdisc]

Jon is doing alright ;)....they only have the series points at the tournaments...no-where online has it posted that I know of right now...

[mmyersdisc]

How did everyone do? I know a few of you went to brookside..I was unable to attend :(

[AdamH]

I wish I could have made it to the Checkered Flag this year, but I couldn't pass up vacation.

Anyone know who I should talk to about getting more tournaments included in this series next year? I believe Indianapolis is the furthest south those tournaments go, but there are some great Southern Indiana courses like the Fun Farm, Buffalo Trace, English and Patoka.

[mashnut]

I played on Saturday at Brookside. It was a fun day, with a pretty huge turnout. There were 90+ people, so it ended up being pretty slow both rounds.

[mmyersdisc]

yeah I figured that mash...lol its the 2nd biggest tourney in Indiana...wish I coulda gone but I ended up staying out late with some friends that were in town from college so...I didn't wanna make the 3 hr trip on 3 hours of sleep haha....ummmm as far as who to talk to...call anyone on the list I posted on the first post...its kinda hard to tell who actually "runs the summer series" becuase its a joint effort for all the TD's to stay posted...I guess if you had someone down south with experience to running tournaments I wouldn't see why they would appose....

[Rockwell]

I found that Bloomington Disc golf course is keeping Summer Series standings on their website: http://bdgc.org/
Look under Results > Summer Series 2009

[Dave Walters]

Just so everyone knows three rivers open on July 19th has been moved from Shoaff park to sweeney park. Same times and everything we just meet at west sweeney

ahh good to know thank you dave!!! I was gonna call the TD later this week to make sure :) I heard sweeny is a better park anyways lol

[zud00]

West Swinney is awesome, Fort Wayne's best IMO. I really want to play but doubt I'll be able to.

[Dave Walters]

Thinking about doing some best shot doubles that saturday.
Hit me up if you might be interested.

Also have camping space at my house availible but im on the other side of town from the park.

I agree here, what about a southern Indiana championship and a northern Indiana championship... ? Finals (North vs South) could switch up locations each year. Just some thoughts..
