Jason Light in with a 71

It is rather blustery in SC at the moment.

I'm in with a 71. Also Pete uli had a 71. Heard someone from Georgia had a 70.

USDGC Facebook: "As of 3:30pm, here are the top qualifying scores: Ben Wiggins 70, three tied at 71, and three tied at 72 including Paige Pierce."

USDGC just posted this on FB.
"Leader in the clubhouse is Benjamin Wiggins from Wichita, KS. There are 3 71s and 3 72s. Paige at 72 will not go back out. 2 71s and 2 72s are back out working on a second round."

So if there are 3 people with 72s tied for that last spot, how do they break the tie?

 

[cjman]

Tie broken with playoff. Starts on 18.

 

[oddjob]

playoff, here's last years.

PP came in at a 72

Weston is a local baller. Good attitude & the guy can putt (putting champ one year)! Keep it going at the big one W!

So can someone sum up the ways to watch this. I know live coverage the Fri and Sat, but what is the deal with the other two? Is it just highlights, or will there be full round coverage that just isn't live?

The youtubers will have coverage of the first few rounds as well.

I shot a 73 in qualifying this morning. I should have gone off later! It was very windy this morning and then it died down significantly this afternoon, but it did start to rain. Good thing I am already in Performance!

How are the players packs this year? Surprised to see no one trying to recoup their expenses yet on FB.

Players packs are being distributed at the players meeting tonight.

Sorry if this has been covered already but I just noticed the hazard on #2. This seems almost specifically designed to punish a bad roller, which IIRC is a common shot on this hole. I like it.

Is this an annual thing? How far is it to clear the lake?

For the first 20 minutes of Discmania and Innova's Big Arm Big Heart distance showcase, the lake launch pad will be open to anyone for a $20 Throw Pink donation per throw.
Discmania has provided S-Line DD2 discs for the showcase. Throwers keep any discs that clear the lake and any Traveler target they land in.

Yea they do it every year and I want to say its 550+ to clear but a little downhill.


They crush it when they get hold of one though sometimes making it over the road about 100' past the waters edge.


Hell GG did it with an aviar once which was awesome to watch

 

[tbird888]

How downhill is it? It looks pretty severe, but perspective gets skewed very easily on video. Either way it was fun seeing Jerm drain one last year, and it would've been awesome to see GG clear the water with an Aviar.

Its super duper downhill. And still retarded far away. I've got a 400+ arm and tried it for fun at Winthrop during non USDGC season. I didn't even come remotely close.

The big arm showcase is an annual event. Being open to anyone is new this year.
