4DiscGolf.com presents the Fort Steilacoom Open

[inourdr]

Does anyone know if McBeth is planning on playing in this tourney? He's not on the pre-reg list and I don't see him on any other tourney pre-reg for that weekend.

 

[gwillim]

I haven't heard that he is. It's probably not worth the risk. I'd pick someone else

 

[inourdr]

So it's Ricky's to lose then!

 

[Hyzer Ale]

Crazy that he (McBeth) is skipping an NT

Normally I'd agree, but if skipping an NT gives him a slightly better chance of winning Worlds, I'd say it makes perfect sense.

 

[SeveN]

Yeah I bet he's just comfortably chilling in Portland, practicing as much as he can. Winning another NT at the risk of not being 100% for Worlds, where he aims to be a 3X champion, might not be a risk he's willing to take.

 

[Anon]

Hmm. I figured most of the top players would use this NT event as a nice warm-up before Worlds considering this event is relatively close to Portland.

***RUMOR ALERT***

I heard Paul and Climo were both doing Innova clinics after the JR Worlds. Sounds legit. I was bummed that Paul wouldn't be lighting up Steilli though. Probably a good move to rested for Worlds.

 

[JohtoVillage]

I don't think its about rest for McBeth. Keep in mind Steilacom ends on Sunday the 3rd and Paul's first round of Worlds won't be until August 12th so that's a lot of time. Maybe he looked at the added cash of only $5,000 (low for an NT) and the super elite field and decided it wasn't worth it to go practice new courses and play a new tournament.

 

[DinosaurThunder]

He just posted a photo of Mt Hood so it is safe to say he is out preparing for worlds!

 

[alpha_dave]

I actually had to pick someone other than McBeth to win? Very odd...

I've had a very busy schedule since vibram so when I arrived at the AM worlds last week I didn't get a chance to play because I was caddying and hanging out with all the Juniors and players at their events and parties. I knew it was going to be a long journey west so with no practice and all that traveling there was no way I was going to be able to compete at a top level. I knew this months in advance so I never even bothered signing up, plus I havent played well here the last few years so I need more practice time than most.

Thanks for stepping up and paying for the pizza at the Am Worlds Junior's party. Classy move Paul.

Oh, and watch out for the brush-backs

Not a problem it was wack that they expected the Juniors to pay so I just bought food for everyone at that party.... And that pitch was head huntin so I tried to atleast take it lower. Just caught the left forearm nothing wrong I don't mind the short pain.
