Ohio Meet Thread

[SmoothSailor]

Haven't seen a meet up thread for Ohio DGCR members yet.

I'm in NE OH, if anyone wants to get some rounds in up here or if you're from another area, let's get a meet going somewhere in the middle.

I currently hold travel tag 59 if anyone wants to trade as well.

[SmoothSailor]

Ohioans are lame... :|

[agapedad]

I don't have a tag, but come on down to Mansfield for our Spring Fling 'n Wings and help me raise the funds to get a course in the ground!
Would love to meet you!
May 7th.

[mobster]

Ohioans are busy. Also, Ohioans don't want to play in crappy Ohio weather, lol.

[roadtripstuff]

I've got a tag and would be down, but I do lose my license on the 2nd, so yeah.

[ejvogie]

I'm down for something, hopefully we can get something going before RTS loses her license. Or we could play in C-bus where somebody could swing by and pick her up.

We'd need another tag to be able to set up a trade though, SmoothSailor and I have each other's tags already :hfive:

I dont usually visit some of these subforums but man, I need to start. Thats in 2 weeks. PM me details on what you might need help with. Hopefully I am not also moving that weekend. Do you have details posted somewhere for the event?


What we need is to schedule a huge meet for all of Ohio on down the line, but would be cool if a lot of us could show up for the Mansfield course fundraiser. :thmbup:

If we are going to do a big meet later I could definitely get a ride if it's somewhat close to Cbus.

Anyone have any ideas?

Do we want to just do one day, or find a place with camping really close by and make it a weekend thing?

Any suggestions on when? I would think late may or early June before it gets too hot and humid. Maybe plan it for early fall, September or something?

[Brall]

oh wow, didn't see this thread until now!

i would be very interested in an ohio meet. if someone sets a date/time, i recommend a date/time that is a month or two away so that people can really plan ahead and get the time free.

my vote would be Saturday, June 4th. there doesn't seem to be too many tournaments scheduled then.

a central location might pull the most people. deis hill? it's in the middle and it's a 5 star course

another idea is a free tournament. all us dgcr people throw a round from the blue (longest) tees, and we just post the results here. if i can get a babysitter, i could easily collect the cards and post them for bragging rights.

there'd be some crazy travel card swappin! and there's a crap ton of ohio disc golfers so prob a good turn out.

thoughts?

I like the 4th, but I don't know that Deis would be great for those travelling from the Southwest portion of the state, Dayton and Cincy, looks like it would be about a 4 hour drive.

[Technohic]

September is a good month for disc golf in Ohio. Temps are moderate and the courses are dry and it gives everyone plenty of time to plan.

Having a place with camping an option but not a requirement would be a good idea for thos who have to drive a ways to make it more worth their while, but I don't think I would have to worry about it since I can get to about any spot in Ohio in less than 3 hours from where I live.

[Brall]

waiting until september would definitely give everyone more time.

it may take quite a bit of time to agree on a course, but i know i'd certainly make a great effort to meet anywhere, although i prob wouldn't spend the night/camp. i'd prob show up early, meet everyone, throw a round, trade some tags, and split.

thx to smoothsailor for starting the thread

[roadtripstuff]

Very true. Course wise I'm sure we will come up with something, don't think the course matter as much as the meet, I was just thinking making it more centrally located might be better for everyone.

I looked up some info and as far as centrally located, with camping, Delware/Gordon Holton might be a good option. I've only played there a couple times, but its a nice course, and they just put in multiple tees last year. There are also two to three decent courses 20-25 minutes away.

Any other suggestions out there? I know Alum Creek has camping, but I think it's on the other side of the lake and Alum Creek is pretty tough, so any newcomers to the sport might find it a bit too much. Also Lancaster has a nice course from what I've heard and read in Flatrocks, which is also pretty close to the middle of the state.

[ejvogie]

Alum is VERY tight, it may be a little more open in a few years once a few of the trees get thinned out. Delaware was the only course Advanced played twice at Am Worlds, and for good reason. It was the best we played. Those of us on the west side of the state may have something to say about Deis being "centrally located". :p

Yeah I really don't know why they picked the courses they did for the AM Worlds. Definitely not some of the better ones in the state that's for sure.

That kind of what I was thinking about Deis as well. Its not bad for Cbus people or Northeast peeps, but southwest/west/northwest people might now think so. That being said I'm sure I could make it just about anywhere, even if I do have to get a ride, and am up to play just about any course.

[Jay Dub]

I wouldn't mind meeting up for this, I have no bag tag.
One suggestion is Buck Creek, camping is close, it's a real nice course with a great view on the back 9 and the only downside, the tees aren't the best.

BUCK CREEK STATE PARK DGC - Springfield
Description: Beautiful park - front 13 wooded and technical. Back 6 open up with a beautiful view of lake and marina. Camping available 1 mile away. Course redisgned in Aug/Sept. 2009.

Directions: From Dayton OH - Take I-70 east to Rte. 40. Head North off exit, 2.5 miles to Bird Rd. Take right on Bird Rd and go 2.5 miles(turns into park). In park, turn right past park office to 1st left past Marina entrance. 1st tee at mouth of woods at 2nd parking lot on right.

[roadtripstuff]

Buck Creek is definitely coming together, and, imo, is a viable option. It would be great for all skill levels, but yes, some of the tees could use some work for sure (natural/dirt/gravel).

Suggestions so far:

Deis Hill (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=2516)
Gordon Holton (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=1319)
Buck Creek State Park (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=2502)

Maybe we should get a few more ideas in the next couple days, and then get a poll going?

Also, as far as September goes, maybe the 10th & 11th. No tourney's in Ohio at all that weekend and nothing big in the surrounding states either. Anyone have thoughts on that?

[cali]

Buck is getting concrete tee pads next weekend too.

[roadtripstuff]

Buck is getting concrete tee pads next weekend too.

That is awesome. :thmbup: That is going to make that course very, very nice.

[roadtripstuff]

I posted some visitor messages for a lot of the folks in Ohio that I have seen post on the forums, but didn't post in this thread so far. I let them know about the thread and to check it out and post if they are interested.

[THE GOV'NA]

im down to meet anywhere..i have family in the bus so that would be sweeeet..let me know whats goin on

[roadtripstuff]

Suggestions so far:

Deis Hill (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=2516)
Gordon Holton (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=1319)
Buck Creek State Park (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=2502)

Also wanted to say that I know Buck Creek and Gordon Holton, don't get a whole lot of traffic, more so for Buck Creek. What about Deis? Does it get crowded? I think choosing a less "popular" course might work to our advantage if we end up getting a decent showing.

[tbird888]

I would prefer a place that has a two course combo like an Idlewild/Lincoln Ridge kind of thing. I know Columbus has a wealth of courses in the area, as does Deis Hill. Anybody else want to play a couple courses?

[roadtripstuff]

Gordon Holton is about the same distance from Alum Creek and the course in Marion as Idlewild and Lincoln Ridge, 20-25 minutes.

Lancaster (Flat Rocks) and Pickerington aren't far from each other either. I've yet to make it to Lancaster but its in the top 5 or 10 in the state and Pickerington is pretty good. I don't know about camping or anything of that nature near either of those courses.

[Jay Dub]

Lincoln Ridge would be nice but it gets a lot of traffic. Great to hear about concrete tees at Buck Creek. That's also more central than anything near Cincinnati.

[Brall]

two course combo sounds awesome

and i like the idea mentioned earlier about consolidating ideas/courses and throw up a poll

[roadtripstuff]

Here's some suggestions if we do go with a two or three course combo:

Deis Hill (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=2516)/Arboretum-Spiker Park (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=188)/Lincoln Park (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=342)
Gordon Holton (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=1319)/Alum Creek (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=3690)/Brent Hambrick (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=131)
Buck Creek (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=2502)/Handyman Ace Hardware DGC (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=4222)/Belmont Park (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=1002)
Pickerington DGC (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=3918)/Flat Rock DGC (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=60)/Hocking Peaks (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=4007)

Of course three courses would be pushing it, unless we decide to do a weekend thing and all courses are within 30 minutes of previous course. I also realize that a couple of those can get pretty crowded, Brent Hambrick and Belmont for example, especially on the weekends and may not be the best option if we end up getting a decent sized group of folks coming out.

Anyone else have suggestions for courses? Dates? One day event or weekend thing? Any other ideas?

[roadtripstuff]

Another option could be:

Brent Hambrick (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=131)/Lobdell Reserve (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=129)/Horns Hill (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=3268)

[ejvogie]

I'm glad you dropped Sawyer Ludwig in Marion from the Gordon Holton option. I had much more fun at Alum.

[roadtripstuff]

Yeah Sawyer Ludwig just isn't that good. I mean its worth stopping by and checking it off your list, and its better than not having a course there, but I can't say I will be playing it again anytime soon.

[hooked312]

thanks for letting me know about this thread roadtrip. Anything after may 20th and I should be free, so the later the better. I haven't played any of these courses mentioned, so no input there.

[snowren24]

thanks for letting me know about this thread, I'll be watching for sure, and try to meet up. I did already randomly meet smoothsailor though.

Arboretum and Lincoln park make for a great day of disc golf. two very different courses, and I think Lincoln Park is the best in the area. But, its probably not going to be all that central to everyone.

[RUSSELL]

thanks RTS!. whatever the consensus is as far as location- all i know is cincy... and september sounds good- plenty of time to plan, just as long as it isn't the weekend of 9/10(mt. airy tourney).

[roadtripstuff]

Anyone have any other suggestions for dates? I think I might be in Texas 9/16-9/18, but I'm not quite sure on that. Maybe the first weekend of September, I think its the 3rd and 4th, or maybe do the 23rd and 24th?

Anyone have objections to September?

[hipster]

Pike Lake and Rocky Fork are located 25 minutes apart and have camping. Heard rumors of a course at Paint Creek which is also in the area, have not confirmed its existence. I agree autumn would be the best time to play. I believe September 9/10 is the weekend of the world wide DG tournament. Sounds dangerously fun to meet fellow DGenerates from Ohio.

Pike Lake is amazing, but I don't know if they are central enough to everyone. My parents actually live in Pike County, about 10 minutes from the course and even though I'm in Cbus now its still one of my favorites.

I've heard the same rumors about that course and Paint Creek and since I'm headed down that way today, I might try to check it out and see if I can find it.

Thoughts from anyone else? Should this combo be added to the list? I do know that there is camping and cabins at Pike Lake, but its also a pretty challenging course and very physically demanding.

[erock216]

im down with a meetup. i have a travel tag. let's do this!

[NatiBuckeye]

keep me posted ill meet up as well, thanks RTS

[Technohic]

I like the idea of the Cbus area courses. Even though I haven't played any of them, they have to be the most central and accessible by everyone. Guess thats by design since its the capital. One day travel by horse and buggy from anywhere in the state.

[roadtripstuff]

So I guess the first thing we should decide is how we are going to do this. Should it just be a one day event? Or should we do Saturday and Sunday, getting campsite or something for everyone?

What do you guys think?

[Old Bassman]

I like the Cbus idea for being centrally located and will help peolpe do a one day event. Two days would be fun but not possible for some.

[RUSSELL]

^this.
i'm not sure how far ahead you want to nail down ALL the details. not many can say right this moment they can definately make it. settle on a venue and date and then as the "hour" approaches start thinking about accomodations.

[roadtripstuff]

Smooth you want to get a poll up with these options:

1. Deis Hill (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=2516)/Arboretum-Spiker Park (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=188)/Lincoln Park (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=342)

I was going to add Pike Lake and Rocky Fork, but the drive between the two is about 45 minutes and that might be a little much, especially if people are already driving from the north end of the state.

Anyone else have any course suggestions or should we just go with these?

[Brall]

have lots to choose from!

i'll make sure to research all before i vote, but i am still leaning towards deis hill. although a columbus course isn't a bad choice. all the highways lead to it and it's central... dunno. good stuff!

[snowren24]

tough choice between option 1 and 2 for me right now, as much as I love Lincoln Park and like Spiker, I dislike Deis, and it would be nice to play some new places. I haven't been down to the Columbus area yet. And I was told that if I like Roscoe and Lincoln, I would like Alum Creek.

I would prefer a 1 day trip, and early September probably, as i think a lot of tourneys are aiming for a late September time slot.

quick look at the overall locations

[RUSSELL]

leaning towards #5

[roadtripstuff]

quick look at the overall locations

The first course in #2 is actually 55 minutes south of Mansfield and the rest are even further south if people want to keep that in mind Delaware is about 20-25 north of 270 and the other two are just minutes from 270.

Other than that, map looks good and I still have no idea which one I would vote for, they are all pretty good choices.

you're right. i must have miss-typed the stupid area code when google mapping.

[ejvogie]

Right now I'm leaning toward #2, even though I've played 2 of the 3 courses listed. The Gordon Holton course is also at Delaware State Park, which has camping available if we were to do a 2 day event.

Is there also camping at Alum Creek? This might be another option. If we were to do the two day event, maybe we could play option #5 the second day.

[roadtripstuff]

There is camping at Alum Creek. Its on the other side of the lake, but its a nice and the drive to the course from campground is probably around 5, maybe 10 minutes.

I do like the idea of having #5 there too for those of us that want to do two days.

[kenbowski]

I'd have to vote for #3 because it is closest to my house, but I would do my best to make it to which ever one is chosen.

[Jay Dub]

I like the courses on #3 the best but can play them most anytime. I'll vote #5 because it's centrally located and I haven't played there much in the last 10 years.

[roadtripstuff]

I left a message for Smoothsailor to see if he wanted to get up a poll with the options. I was going to contact a mod, but figured I would wait to see what he said since it was his idea and his thread.

[culinarywiz]

Thanx for the heads up roadtrip.

I would love a Buckeye outing.

All the options are sweet. I agree that we should keep it central. The two tandems I like are Pickerington & Flat Rocks and also Brent Hambrick & Lobdel Reserve. All 4 are well rounded and appoachable for all skill levels.

If we want a bit more challenge, then the Alum & Gordon option is sweet. Those two can be punishing.

I am in for an early September gathering. This sounds like a good time!

Awesome, thanks for the input.

So far looks like we've had between 15 and 20 people show interest in meeting so we should get a good turn out. Again, the poll should be coming soon so we can really get some ideas and plans laid out.

[danhyzer]

Just MHO, but maybe we should consider having a gathering in all portions of Ohio over the years and spread the love that we all have for DGCR. I think if we choose different places to where we could all camp/ stay at a hotel for those who wish not to camp and have good times with each other then we're all be winners.

we're in the process of finally getting Portage Lakes State Park finished once and for all. If people camped at the state park there (close to Akron) we could arrange for DGCR people to play such and such courses in that area (for example we could play the Canton/ Massillin, Dover ,Wooster and Medina DGC other sections of ohio could promote their respective areas and play whatever DGC they have in their area that others would enjoy centralized around a area we're we al lcould camp and patronize within each other) and just have fun. I'd like to see everyone that plans to play to give a disc or a disc related prize (or a brand new car if you have those kind of connections) that they think would be a good prize from their stash and that they wouldn't never use to be put in the prize fund and try for everyone that has a DGCR tag recieve atleat one disc from some other DGCR tag member. I think if it was done that way and we rotated around Ohio we would build a great event, but more importantly we would promote OHIO tourism through DGCR.

tournaments turn off some people ( I personally like to play in the local tournaments as much as I can, but i'd much rather play casually and a bunch of differnt courses with friends (new and old) than being stuck all weekend playing one or two courses. That's one reason why I've played so many different DGC in all the states than playing in every tournament every weekend. Let's just have fun and with friends.

So one year we could play the Akron area, people who like to camp can stay at Portage lakes state park/ the other can use the hotel system or friends places then the next year we could do the C- bus area or the Dayton area or the Cincy area, Toledo area , another year play around Ashtabula/ cleveland area, another year we could play the DGC around Medina or something and so on.

Maybe this could get so big that a host club could promote through their respective tourism department and get some discounts for the DGCR travel tag members and promote their respective area including some cool 9 hole DGC in addtion with the more popular DGC in that respective area.

If we just concentrated on one area then we're losing a lot of the fun of traveling, trading DGCR tags, meeting new people and finding new DGC to play.

I'd suggest playing in the fall since that is one of the most beautiful times in Ohio and they'res less tournaments (for those who love playing in tournaments) and they'res less turbulent weather. It's still nice in Sept.

In doing a rotation we're not going to please everyone, but if we can please most of everyone and have fun in the process I think a rotation DGCR tags member weekend would be really cool to have and promote.

But if we do something like this, I feel we should have some kind of commitee and set a schedule so that everyone gets represented in some fashion. I've personally played all but 2 DGC in Ohio and would love to have other fellow Dgers feel the experiences I've had by playing as many differnet DGC in Ohio as I have and I feel we could if we had structure and feelowship to promote this in the correct way.

I'd volenteer to be on a board for Ohio DGCR weekend fun camp out/ or a close facsmile :D
For the people that carry travel tags get the perks and for those who don't carry travel tags they'll have to pay a little extra (not a whole lot, but enough to promote DGCR traveling tags within and all around Ohio.

Let's promote OHIO DG and DGCR within OHIO in the fall----------------------- - +

Any thoughts from what I just wrote??

[Brall]

for commitee! :hfive:

as for me, whenever there is an ohio meet, i will seriously try to make it (keeping in mind that i'm a family guy without much free time). and it wont matter if it's a bunch of casual play covering a few courses or a tournament set up, i'll still try to come.

so whatever the majority wants... i'm a cow, i'll follow the herd, and i look forward to much fun :popcorn:

[SmoothSailor]

Buck Creek is definitely coming together, and, imo, is a viable option. It would be great for all skill levels, but yes, some of the tees could use some work for sure (natural/dirt/gravel).

Suggestions so far:

Deis Hill (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=2516)
Gordon Holton (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=1319)
Buck Creek State Park (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=2502)

Maybe we should get a few more ideas in the next couple days, and then get a poll going?

Also, as far as September goes, maybe the 10th & 11th. No tourney's in Ohio at all that weekend and nothing big in the surrounding states either. Anyone have thoughts on that?

That weekend there will be a tournament here I am TDing. Nothing organization but I have to be here and I want to be at the meet.

[SmoothSailor]

Poll is up

[SmoothSailor]

I just moved the tournament I'm tding to august. The weekend of Sept 11 looks good now lol

[Brall]

lol, thx smoothsailor!

Deis is closer to me, and it's one of the best, if not the very best course in ohio, but i voted Gordon Holton due to location.

i think location is very important for this first get-together. if there is one next year, i will happily vote for Deis!

[SmoothSailor]

I voted deis cause its the only.one of the three I haven't played yet

1. Deis Hill (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=2516)/Arboretum-Spiker Park (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=188)/Lincoln Park (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=342)
2. Gordon Holton (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=1319)/Alum Creek (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=3690)/Brent Hambrick (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=131)
3. Buck Creek (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=2502)/Handyman Ace Hardware DGC (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=4222)/Belmont Park (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=1002)
4. Pickerington DGC (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=3918)/Flat Rock DGC (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=60)/Hocking Peaks (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=4007)
5. Brent Hambrick (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=131)/Lobdell Reserve (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=129)/Horns Hill (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=3268)




These were the suggestions everyone was talking about. I don't know if you want to change the poll to reflect that or anything just thought I would throw it back out there. (I think the final list was on page 4,5, or 6)

I think more people were interested in playing multiple courses rather than just meeting up for one.

Also I think the Cincy guys wouldn't be able to make the weekend of the September 11. There is a tourney at Mt. Airy that's not listed and they wouldn't be coming if we have it that weekend.

[SmoothSailor]

I missed that whole list lol. I message a mod but if someone else can get to it faster that'd be awesome. I'll definitely change my vote when the polls changed lol

[SmoothSailor]

As you can see from the poll not all the courses are listed. Whatever choice you pick is for that particular group of courses to be played that weekend.

[roadtripstuff]

And I still don't know which one to vote for, lol. Thanks Smooth and whatever mod is helping out.

[erock216]

There is camping at Alum Creek. Its on the other side of the lake, but its a nice and the drive to the course from campground is probably around 5, maybe 10 minutes.

I do like the idea of having #5 there too for those of us that want to do two days.

i thought we were staying at your house?

[erock216]

anyone in northern ohio with a tag to swap?

[Brall]

i'll throw you a pm erock if i'm ever up your way. ... if i ever get time to play a round that is. life's responsibilities suck

[erock216]

ill play roscoe, spiker, deis, hudson, wingfoot, punderson, parma etc... im down for whatever.

[SmoothSailor]

Should we do another poll for the date or is September 10-11 good for everyone? Im gonna get shirts printed for this if enough people wanna get em.

[SmoothSailor]

anyone in northern ohio with a tag to swap?

I live in warren. Bout 75 minutes away. Sweet course over here too.

[Brall]

the date is kosher with me

[roadtripstuff]

i thought we were staying at your house?

LMFAO. My tiny house would look like a clown car.

The Cincy guys can't make it that weekend. There's a tourney at Mt. Airy.

I think we had talked about setting the date once the course was settled on. Maybe leave this poll up for a week or two, then pop one up for a date.

I think the first weekend in September is open. I maybe be going to Texas myself on the weekend of the 16th-18th for the Women's Tourney, but not 100% on that yet.

I think our best two options would be September 2nd-4th and the 23rd-25th.

[erock216]

i played young's run last year. nice course. we could do that or punderson, or lake shore park, or pymatuning, or wingfoot or hudson etc...


what's up with the wayfarer's roost? anyone play it? i don't remember seeing it listed last year. or maybe i forgot? :p

[erock216]

Did you get to play young's run as a full 18 or was it still 16? The new holes are pretty awesome

[roadtripstuff]

I do think that if this meet goes well we should maybe try to do this at least once a year, or like I told him maybe even once in the spring and fall. I also agree that changing the venue each time would be awesome.

[SmoothSailor]

I like the spring and fall idea. And changing venues each time would be great so we do something different each time.

[ejvogie]

2 a year would be pretty sweet, and rotate courses so everybody gets to show off their home course (even if mine isn't all that spectacular :D). I could see Ottawa, Parmalee and Vienna Parks or East Harbor, Lake Erie Resort and Great Blue Heron here in the Northwest.

[roadtripstuff]

Awesome guys. I think two a year would be a great time. We have plenty of good courses in the state to go somewhere new for quite awhile.

[Jay Dub]

I like the idea of doing this twice a year. IMO, I think we should keep the first meet simple. Let's pick the courses and dates then see who shows up. We'll have all day, or weekend, to discuss and make plans for future meets. (I'll also enjoy taking everyone's money) :p

Speaking of taking your money off you... Are we doing this casual or ourney style where we throw 5.00 each round? Ace pot? CTP? If others donate prizes i will...

[roadtripstuff]

I think once we set the location, we drop this poll and put up one for the dates and once all that is decided we can put up an "Official" thread with all of the details, location(s), date(s), and list of attendees and what not.

If the voting continues the way it is, and #1 wins, I do suggest we play Hoover (Brent Hambrick) first/earliest because it does draw the crowds around here. That would also put up finishing up at Delaware which has a campground very close to the course, for those that are wanting to stay overnight.

As for tourney style, CTP, and all that, maybe we can decide that once we get the location and date decided. Maybe pick someone to head it all up, keep a list of the prizes and what not. I went to the Socal meetup and Snappyfingers was pretty much in charge and did a great job organizing everything. If #1 wins I would be glad to do that, and get the campsite that we would need, etc.

[SmoothSailor]

Is anyone into the shirt idea? I'll be getting dry fits like discraft has if so. Probably 12-15.00 each.

[roadtripstuff]

And I'm sure there is someone that lives close enough to each course that would be the go-to person if their courses get selected.

[roadtripstuff]

Is anyone into the shirt idea? I'll be getting dry fits like discraft has if so. Probably 12-15.00 each.

I'm down. I got a shirt from the Socal Meet I went to and it would be sweet to have one for each meet I attend.

[NatiBuckeye]

dayton are is closest but Belmont is average... i pick 2

[roadtripstuff]

Nice we're up to 16 people too. I know there are a few more out there that might be down for this so hopefully we will have a decent turnout.

[ejvogie]

FWIW, if we do a 2 day, I vote #5 on the 2nd day, assuming #1 wins. If #2 ends up winning, maybe Roscoe +2 more, that course kicked my a$$ last time I was there, I need revenge.

[Ripper]

I'm in! Let me know my schedule and year have been so crappy, but i'll make it to this i'm sure and will be an Ohio resident in a few months! :)

[Ripper]

I like the Buck Creek / Handyman Ace Hardware DGC / Belmont Park - But replace Buck Creek with Englewood. Or am I was off on the locations! ? When is this going on?

[snappyfingers]

Thanks bcr.

Welcome aboard. Glad to hear another person might be coming out for this.

So far we are thinking September, but we aren't sure on the exact date. I think we are going to leave the poll open for the location for a bit, then switch over and do a poll for the exact date.

Buck Creek was actually the main suggestion for that group, they have redesigned the course and its getting concrete tee pads next week.

[SmoothSailor]

This is gonna be awesome! I get more and more excited every time I check this thread :)

[SmoothSailor]

Everyone should subscribe to this thread to keep updated. So far it looks like were going to cbus.

Wherever it ends up being it should be a great time.

for commitee! :hfive:

as for me, whenever there is an ohio meet, i will seriously try to make it (keeping in mind that i'm a family guy without much free time). and it wont matter if it's a bunch of casual play covering a few courses or a tournament set up, i'll still try to come.

so whatever the majority wants... i'm a cow, i'll follow the herd, and i look forward to much fun :popcorn:

I'll be on the committee. Sure. I want everyone to bring a friend too. I feel like even though its a dgcr meet up for us, we should promote it and get as language people to come as possible, members or not.

Will anyone be mad if I ask the mode to switch polls on may 10?

Also, no matter where this is held I think the committee should get together with the local club(s) about playing and camping/hotel arrangements.

[roadtripstuff]

If it ends up being number 1, I know there is camping, not far from the course, at Delaware State Park/Gordon Holton. Individual campsites are $28, but there are also group sites available that would end up being around $5.00 per person if there are at least 20 people, $1 or so more if there are less.

As for the local club, there are two for the courses in #1. Mood, for Gordon Holton and Columbus Flyers for Hoover/Brent Hambrick. The guys at Mood are all pretty cool, but some of the Flyers can be a little iffy, so I don't really want to deal with them, but that's up to you. I don't know that either can get us any kind of deal on lodging.

[roadtripstuff]

:doh: oh and the 10th sounds fine, maybe even a little earlier. Honestly we have plenty of time so just do it whenever you'd like.

I also say friends welcome, bring along whoever.

[SmoothSailor]

FWIW, if we do a 2 day, I vote #5 on the 2nd day, assuming #1 wins. If #2 ends up winning, maybe Roscoe +2 more, that course kicked my a$$ last time I was there, I need revenge.

from how I understand how this is going to work, we will be splitting up the 3 courses between the two days. If I'm wrong someone let me know.

Roscoe is one of those courses that could use some more exposure IMO but its just not a very central location. But if someone got real ambitious and started early, you probably could hit Roscoe, then go to Wooster for that course, then Lincoln Park, on over to Arboretum then down to Deis; but I hate to see what you would feel like climbing that last huge hill at Deis. lol

agreed about Roscoe, I think Lincoln and Roscoe in one day would be better than Spike and Lincoln, but that's just bringing it more North.
There's no reason Roscoe shouldn't be rated 4+ imo. So I'll try to gain it more exposure by posting about it in an Ohio thread :)

[SmoothSailor]

Hey snowren you gonna make the meet? itd be great to play a round agaon with you.

[snowren24]

as long as the date doesn't clash with anything, I'll be there :thmbup:

I'll probably see you around a couple times this summer/fall regardless though I'm sure.

Hey snowren you gonna make the meet? itd be great to play a round agaon with you.

[milesd37]

I'm down for this, I skimmed the 11 pages previous to this... I agree with doing central Ohio first, making it as close as possible to everyone the first time, then making rounds to all the other metropolitan areas...

As for dates, I know June 4th that someone said will be out for me, as that's the BHMO weekend... beginning of September will be good for me, the end not so much as my wedding is on Oct.1st, so ill be super busy leading up to that...

I know at a later one I'd like to incorporate the Great Blue Heron course in Norwalk Ohio, its an amazing course that is largely overlooked, and also gets so.little traffic that it'll be available all the.time...

But that's for.later...

[roadtripstuff]

from how I understand how this is going to work, we will be splitting up the 3 courses between the two days. If I'm wrong someone let me know.

I don't think we really got in-depth as to how we are going to play them, but a couple did say they would only be able to make it one day. I think what some people were thinking is try to get all three of the main ones done the first day (Saturday), time permitting, then whoever is staying for the second day (Sunday) could head to the other courses.

Of course that could all change once we get things narrowed down, maybe some of those folks will be able to make both days and we could go from there.

[hipster]

I look forward to playing some new Ohio courses and meeting some new peeps. I voted for #4 because I enjoy the Hocking Hills. It's a geographically interesting area of Ohio. Hocking College DGC is not far from Hocking Peaks so there is another decent course in the area. I just hope the weather cooperates. Every DG course in Ohio could be underwater by September if this rains keeps coming.

[roadtripstuff]

The Hocking Hills area is beautiful. I haven't been down there since high school, but I plan on playing the courses there this summer whether the meet ends up there or not.

[Technohic]

Yeah, I got a cabin for the family down in Hocking Hills summer before last. They didn't let me go disc golfing though. It was all horseback riding and hiking. But then there was always sitting in the hot tub. That was my favorite part as I think I strong armed my shoulder to hell then.

[Brall]

hocking is great fun. i go there every summer for family vacation. hardcore camping, you know, in an air conditioned cabin!

this summer when i go i'll hit up hocking peaks and anything else i can time permitting.

[Brall]

what's up with the wayfarer's roost? anyone play it? i don't remember seeing it listed last year. or maybe i forgot? :p

it was listed as Memorial Park.

i researched it, found the point of contact and the actual course name on PDGA and DGScene and looked into a few other things. i requested the course name be updated to the correct course name here at dgcr. there is incorrect info listed on dgcr about the course. i'll try to get to the course this summer and fully update the course (re-map, re-measure with tape for accuracy, new pics etc...)

[Brall]

hocking is great fun. i go there every summer for family vacation. hardcore camping, you know, in an air conditioned cabin!

this summer when i go i'll hit up hocking peaks and anything else i can time permitting.

right next to Lake Hope is Hocking College DGC, also, right next to Lake Hope, there is a camp ground for actual campers. it has a pond out front i believe. when you drive past the camp grounds, there are a few baskets visible. i don't see the course listed on this site.

anyone have any info about that course? not sure of the name of the camp grounds or the specific location (maybe at route 328/route 56 crossing???)

[Brall]

i'll contact them sometime and try to get some info on it.

[hipster]

Attended Rio Grande College many moons ago and roomed with a guy who was a summer camp counselor in Hocking Hills somewhere. Anyway, we would take occassional roadtrips to "The Hills". One time we took a hike to what he called " Devils Toilet". It was a creek bed that dropped into a hole in the Earth. He climbed into the hole and beckoned us to follow. It was amazing when you climbed to the bottom of the hole and you were standing in a decent sized cavern. Will always remember the experience. Wish I could remember where that place was.

[tistoude]

I live in Pittsburgh but my family has a farm in Ohio. Does this qualify me for an Ohio meet? Depending on the weekend in Sept, I shouldn't have any problem making the trip. I will be at the Vibram Open the first weekend in Sept but I think the rest should be open.

The more the merrier. If you could make it, that would be awesome. I'm sure everyone else would agree, they'll probably chime in shortly.

[SmoothSailor]

If I just happened to be in Oregon while a dgcr meet up was taking place I would definitely attend. Plus knowing how you play, I'd like to see some nice shots :)

[TheStray]

Hey all, I don't have time to read all the posts so I'll just post my situation. I'm currently injured and won't be available to play until after the first week in June. I have a few friends that might be interested and my vote would be for the Columbus or Dayton area. It's about a 3.5 hour drive to either and I dont' see myself waking up at 4 in the morning to meet up any earlier than 10 AM. So yeah I'm interested. Just not sure I'll fit in with the timeline and everyone elses schedule and geographical location considering i live in Michindiano.

You are in luck, we are thinking of holding this shindig in September sometime, although its looking like there is something going on about every weekend. Go ahead and vote for whichever location you would prefer, as I'm sure we won't be having in until after June for sure.

So I take it you won't be at Ottawa Park Sunday to collect your winnings from the winter series? :CaptainObvioussmiley:

[SmoothSailor]

The location poll will be left up until mothers day. So make sure to love your mother and vote for where you want to meet up and play :)

[Jay Dub]

25 voted so far, that'll make for a nice turn out.

[SmoothSailor]

ATTENTION ALL!!!

Sound off if you're interested in getting a t-shirt at the meet up. Let me know what size you wear to make ordering easier.

They will be the dry fits like the shirts discraft has. they will be 14.00 each to order, so I say we all just go 15.00 for the shirts and put the extra dollar to payout the top 3.

Thoughts?

[Jay Dub]

X-Large.

[roadtripstuff]

Will they have any kind of logo, place, date, etc, type thing?

[SmoothSailor]

Will they have any kind of logo, place, date, etc, type thing?

Of course. Seeing as how we all want to pay as little as possible, we could have one of us design it.

[roadtripstuff]

That's probably the best way to do it to keep the prices low. Any volunteers? I would love to help, but I wouldn't even know where to start to create a logo.

Oh and I will definitely want one.

[SmoothSailor]

I'll sketch up an idea and then someone who's good at making pencil drawings into sweet computer graphics could take it from there.

[Petech]

I have a little skill at creating computer graphics. Send me your sketches & ideas SmoothSailor and I'll play around with them.

I'll have something posted by mid week. The only thing we will do is leave the weekend off the date until we are sure of exactly what weekend it will be and where it will be, so something generic will suffice for now.

[Petech]

Hi Kristy!

Yep its me. Thanks again for returning my disc.

[Brall]

i am probably not going to get a shirt, just fyi

however, should you have extra shirts at the meet and i have some extra coin, i may ask to buy one there

[SmoothSailor]

I have to do a minimum order of 20 so if theres extras for sure :)

[roadtripstuff]

Up to 27, man if that many people come this should be great. If there's anyone out there that thinks they might be able to to make it, get your votes in, I think the poll is up until the 8th.

I think next up is the date. I hate to say it, but looking at the PDGA Events plus what others have mentioned September is looking pretty tight.

Without going back through the whole thread, I believe the only weekend that someone doesn't have going on is the last weekend of September. I think I recall the Vibram Open being the first weekend the 2nd-4th, and I also think there is a tournament at Mt. Airy in Cincinnati the weekend of the 9th-11th. I might have a tournament the following weekend, 17th and 19th, but I that's not 100% yet. Just thought I would throw all that info out there in one post and we could get the ball rolling on that discussion.

Anyone have any other ideas or questions or dates that won't work? I know we probably won't be able to work it out for every single person, but we can definitely try.

[agapedad]

I will potentially be there dependent on the date and place, but haven't voted or anything because my schedule is always subject to change at a moments notice!

[roadtripstuff]

I will potentially be there dependent on the date and place, but haven't voted or anything because my schedule is always subject to change at a moments notice!

I say go ahead and vote. I'm sure that's the case for a lot of the people. Plans change, things come up, hell some people are probably in the exact same boat, and won't be able to come depending on the date.

[Technohic]

Random date is fine for me since I'm pretty bad about being able to lock anything in to the schedule myself. Heck; have been trying to get out to play with Agapedad, Brall, Cfair, mikeC and some others before and it just has never worked out.

[Brall]

i thought you just hated me technohic

lol Well, if I keep playing like I did this last weekend, you guys will thank me for not coming out. Been all over the place and short a lot with the occasional surprise long throw, usually when it is way too much for the basket. Makes for a long round.

sounds like a typical round for me :p
I'm varying 8 or more strokes between rounds on the same course, in the same week.

[Technohic]

Im normally not great at Roscoe but I usually shoot around +15 if you go all par 3s. This weekend it was +20 and +25 lol

Roscoe has a way of making you feel like everything is wrong with your game, especially when the pins are in the longs. It can be a very demanding course, even though some holes look so simple. Last time I played there was the tourney the Jenkins ran in April, pins were long, and lots of OB markers were added, even though we played from the shorts it still played tough.

[Technohic]

Yeah Usually I gain a bunch of strokes on putting. They put them on the long and you get in the rough early, you pick up strokes quick. At least they didn't move 3 out on that little landing strip with a drop off a foot or 2 away on any side besides the left approaching area. That was rough.

What divison? I DFL'd Rec :(
Shot +13 and +14 with no birds either round after parking half my practice holes :doh:

[roadtripstuff]

Also, in regard to the date, who all thinks they will be able to do a weekend thing, and who thinks they will just be able to make it for one day?

I have started to compile a list of people that are maybes at this point and I can add and remove people as well go. If anyone hasn't posted, make yourself known.

[ejvogie]

If it's a date I can make it, I plan on an overnighter. My tent will sleep at least 4. I don't bite and carry no communicable disease (at this time :D)

[Brall]

there is a small chance i could make it two days

but i will mainly be planning on one full day

[snowren24]

I was just looking ofr a day trip personally. Planning on a long day trip though :)

[Technohic]

Probably one day for me.

[TheStray]

So I take it you won't be at Ottawa Park Sunday to collect your winnings from the winter series? :CaptainObvioussmiley:

Ha, ha. Nahhh I got there. I also had a $10 gift certificate for the Shed so it was worth my while to go. Didn't play though. Yeah that was tough going to a tournament and not playing. My next tourney will probably be Back to the Hills. Not real happy about the $8 per car to go to park though.

Oh and making it a weekend would be awesome if we could do it in September. 2nd or 3rd weekend because then I won't have to be around here for the dumb old fair. ;)

[TheStray]

I'm in for the shirt too XL

[THE GOV'NA]

im down and im guessin the stray will make me ride with him..september sounds sweeet..id like both days ..and if we do option numero uno me and the stray could stay at my aunts and play with her fish tank...muhahahaha

[hipster]

As long as i have a few months advance notice, it should not be a problem for me to make this event. Since am a reborn DGenerate, I will probably be into playing both days. Not sure if I will make camp or hole up in a seedy motel somewhere. Put me down for a 2XL shirt.

[mcmyers640]

Pumped about the outing. Thanks roadtripstuff for sending the message. Excited to know when the date is so I can carve out a one day adventure.

[RUSSELL]

probably only for the day

I think today is the last day to get your vote in for the location, right Smooth?

Are we going to do a poll for the date? Or should we just try to pick a weekend that works best for everyone? I'm pretty sure the only weekend in September that someone doesn't have something going on is the last weekend, September 22-24th.

Any thoughts? What dates would you all prefer?

[SmoothSailor]

I message bcr about changing the poll to choose the dates. After that I'm sure well have an issue that needs a poll to change it.

Well keep this new poll up til June 1 to give everyone time to get their votes in. im personally shooting for the weekend of the 10,11 as I already have it as a secured date off.

[Technohic]

I would ask him to make it a multiple selection poll so everyone can select all the days that are good for them.

[roadtripstuff]

I would ask him to make it a multiple selection poll so everyone can select all the days that are good for them.

I like this idea as well. I think it would give us the best info to pick the date.


Since my home courses were selected I can take the lead on checking out camping/hotels and what not if everyone would like. I know both Alum Creek and Delaware have camping so I can check on pricing on individual sites and group camping if enough people choose to camp. Either way I can see if we can get a block of sites together for those of us that do decide to stay.

Of course all of this will depend on the dates selected.

One thing I will mention, albeit way a head of time, is that we should definitely play Brent Hambrick as early as possible to avoid the crowds. Weekends can get pretty bad, but as long as we make it the first stop, like around 11AM ish we should be fine.

[bthoma1]

Im in Northwest Ohio so I vote for whichever courses are closest there

[roadtripstuff]

Any word on getting the poll changed?

[cfair]

I can drive a group from NE ohio to where ever we go. If I can go. Also I suggest mass carpooling for several reasons.

1) Commitment
2) Get to know one another
3) Make it easier for peeps to come/get around
and 4) set a precedent for future meet ups in people being willing to help one another out, be friendly, and hang out!

so yeah... I'm down.

We should start a new thread with the new poll and link that thread in here.

I got a response from bcr 2 days ago, but nothing came of it I vuss. If anyone can get a hold of another mod, go for it.

I'm pretty sure though, bcr is at the tournament in the allentown area 5his weekend being hosted by Mr disc golf.

[sillybizz]

If someone can send me a message with what you want changed/put on a new thread, I would be willing to help. Work is sloooooow today! :)

[jcf5083]

Is anyone here playing the BHMO? I'll be the 15 year old kid in last with the DGCR Tag :P

[gdub58]

Just found this thread - definitely interested and I voted in both polls.

Prefer one day but will probably play two.

Thanks to those who are organizing!

[kinger]

I'm interested, but likely would only be able to participate if it were the NE oHIo option of Arboretum, Lincoln, Deis.

[Fleshgordon]

Thanks RTS for the heads up on this thread
I have contributed a vote but the final decision matters not to me. I will be down any way it goes.

[SmoothSailor]

So I took a new position at work involving the morning shift on Saturday. I may only be able to make it for the sunday portio of the meet. Maybe late Saturday.

[Brall]

hey smoothsailor, weren't you gunna try for the world record on the 30th for most holes in 24hrs? i think i remember seeing it some time back... not sure if you were joking though :)

June 4-5 :)

[roadtripstuff]

Holy **** guys. My friends and I went down to play Hocking Peaks today and let me tell you, its a ****ing beast. Hopefully I'll get the pics up tonight.

The course isn't bad, I shot a 57 from the shorts, but the hills are ri-****ing-diculous. Put on your hiking shoes for this one. Also if you do plan on going out and playing here, keep an eye on your plastic, the rough can make it go bye-bye on a few holes pretty easily.

[crazyseany]

I'm a noob so my opinion probably doesn't count... But I do live in Ohio!

the first Day you could do a show & throw & for people that want some competitin do a tourney on the 2nd day...

having the central location for the 1st meetup sounds great & as mentioned earlier moce it to a diff. Part of Oh the following year (Akron... Then Dayton.. Then hocking hills.. Then toledo )(kinda what GOBA does)

the 3rd & 4th is part of Labor Day weekend... Be nice to go and camp and hang out as a positive... Back to school/summer ending family picnics etc... Are negatives... Although it would make it easier when next year rolls around... It's "labor day weekend"

also don't do "First annual"!

and does Cincy really count as part of Ohio?... Oh yeah (and no Steelers fans! Lol)

just a few thoughts,

sean

Cincy has the best courses in Ohio. Ha!
Now the part about the Steelers, you almost saved yourself. ;)

Labor day, IMO, would be a BAD weekend. People do things with their families, I have a family camping trip every year over this weekend.

also don't do "First annual"!

+1
Wait until at least year 2 for an "annual" anything.

[roadtripstuff]

I agree that Labor Day Weekend would probably not be the best option. Not only will the courses be more crowded than usual, getting camp sites for those of us wanting to do the two day option might be hard to get.

I also hate "First Annual". Along with when people say assless chaps. Aren't all chaps assless? If they aren't assless, aren't they just pants?

Anyway, just realized I haven't voted on dates yet, anyone else still have to vote on either, get em in. We should start nailing down solid plans by the end of June.

[roadtripstuff]

show & throw :confused:

I think he is referring to like a clinic of sorts. Maybe some of the more experienced and better players could give "noobs" advice before throwing some rounds.

[cfair]

there is a guy in dayton... I forget his name... who lives near Hazy Shade Disc Golf. He was the first sponsored Discraft player. Maybe someone could wrangle him up for a clinic.

(old school discraft players were pure finesse players.)

[roadtripstuff]

That's a great idea. Furthermore if anyone knows some pros/sponsored/open players that might be willing to come out that would be amazing.

Any of you Dayton guys know who cfair is referring to?

[kenbowski]

I live pretty close to Dayton, so I'll look into it. I know that Matthew Blakley is from Lebanon, OH which is just south of Dayton. He is on the current Discraft tour team.

[Technohic]

Someone camp out Roscoe Ewing and wait for the Jenkins to come out. The parents that is. I think Avery and Val only visit from time to time. lol

That would be awesome though if they were lurking and decided to come out. They are still Ohio Disc Golfers no matter where they moved onto after all.

[Mike C]

Tossing out a vote for Deis Hill / Arboretum / Lincoln Park + Portage Lakes.

[roadtripstuff]

Nice, 44 votes is crazy.

I do think we need to set an end date to voting so we can lay down a plan. I think we should leave both polls open until June 30th, then announce the place and date.

Any objections?

Anyone who hasn't voted in either poll should do so soon, don't forget to vote for the dates in the other thread as well, here's the link again:

Be sure to vote for everyday that you are available.

So I found out some bad news today. The Brent Hambrick course will have 5 holes pulled until spring 2012. They removed them last fall, and it was thought that they would be back in after the Brent Hambrick Memorial Tournament, but they removed them after the tournament.

That still leaves Alum Creek and Gordon Holton, and 22 holes at Brent Hambrick, but I thought I would put it out there.

[RUSSELL]

i don't have a problem with that, especially since i somehow overlooked the fact that it had 27 holes.:)

[jcf5083]

I just received my tag, so I hopefully will be stopping by if y'all roll through Hambrick.

If you haven't already, join this group (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/forums/group.php?groupid=5)

[SmoothSailor]

I will only be able to make it for the Sunday portion of this meet up. The new job won't allow for the Saturday off.

[Brall]

[roadtripstuff]

10 days left to vote in each poll then we'll stop taking votes and get down to business.

Sucks that you'll only be able to do one day Smooth, but it'll be one hell of a day I'll tell you that. I have a few ideas for tournaments, CTP, and other stuff. I have a couple discs, and what not, that I plan to donate for prizes, the whole meetup should be pretty sweet. Once the voting is done we can start to talk details and hopefully we'll have a great turnout.

[cfair]

keep me in the loop. I'm still willing to drive anyone from NW Ohio. But I'd also love to help set up or anything else. Small note if you want some thing designed (small flyer or ad) I can do it pretty quick.

[ejvogie]

Chris, I'd definitely roll down with you. I've got a tent and gas money.

Also, I have a protostar Wahoo I plan on making into a clock that I'm donating for a CTP. Protostar stamps make the best clocks, 12 3 6 and 9 are already marked :D

I've got a pair of Toledo Zoo tickets I may donate as well, but I may save them for a local event. The problem is that they expire at the end of the year, so if people from other parts of the state would like a chance at them, please let me know here.

Welcome to the site, sport, and thread. If you haven't voted in both polls go ahead and do so. Here's the link to the poll for the dates (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36131), just mark down all the dates you think you will be available.

It should be a great time and maybe you can pick up a few tips from some of the more experienced players if you are interested. Good idea subscribing to the thread. There will be a lot of discussion in the next couple weeks I'm sure. The polls will be closing at the end of the month and we'll start laying down all the details. The more minds the merrier so if you have an ideas feel free to speak up.

[Barnhill]

Yeah I voted on my Course choice, I went with 1. They are closest to me, and I havent played Gordon Holton yet.

I have been playing pretty much every weekend I can and I joined a club through my work where I met a couple pretty good players and I am sure they would be down for this as well.

I am checking my schedule tonight on the dates.

Weird though, I chose instant notification by email on my subscription and it isnt working. Hmmm....

Gordon Holton is probably my personal favorite out of the three, its a really nice course, but then again, they are all pretty good.

The instant notification sometimes takes an extra couple minutes for whatever reason, but it should show up sooner or later.

[Barnhill]

Yeah I really like Alum Creek and BH. All though last weekend at Alum I seemed to be ablt to do nothing but hit trees. LOL

We are playing Glacier Ridge Saturday. My first time there. Looks like an interesting course.

And I still have yet to get an email notification. Weird.

Glacier is a great course for beginners, but can be a little meh once players start to get a little better. The wind can really be a beast out there though, adds a little challenge.

Alum Creek and Gordon Holton were designed by some of the same folks so if you like Alum you'll love Gordon Holton.

Its very strange that you aren't getting emails, maybe try unsubscribing and subscribing again. If that doesn't work, maybe send a message to TimG and he may be able to help you out.

[Barnhill]

I may have to suggest Gordon Holton for our trip next week.

I sent my buddy a lick to this thread for him to come check out.

Oh and I figured out my issue, my domain name expired so I have to get it reset before I get any email. Explains alot. LOL

I highly recommend getting out to Delaware whenever you can, it's definitely a nice course and its immaculate shape right now since there was a tourney there this past weekend.

I don't know if you've been out to Pickerington yet or not, but that's another great course as well.

[Barnhill]

I have played this course a few times, I assume thats what you are referring to

This is going to be the first ever Ohio meetup. I think the plan is to try to make the first one centralized and play new courses in a different part of the state each time.

Sounds good , I live about a hour from the course but its my favorite so far!

One thing we didn't think of. They got ace races through September.
