First time I have ever posted anything on this site. So sorry if there is an editing issue with the quote but anyways...
To begin this off, my name is John Lynn and my PDGA rating is 901. My StL club rating is 8.81. My buddy Pat that played with me, I won't give out his last name, but his PDGA rating is 886 and his StL rating is 8.62. I played in the intermediate division in the StL Open, which is the prime tournament for the StL area. I did not cash out in the tournament. My buddy, Pat, played rec and I think he took in the top 3 or 5.
Secondly, I have never played in the open division for any event, and my buddy, Pat, has never played in the open divison as well. Furthermore, I think the longest I've ever thrown a disc on flat ground is 475 ft, tops. Pat's longest drive is probably within +/- 15 ft of that. Yeah, I think we have all thrown discs 600+ ft at Sioux Passage throwing down the hill on 13. Also, neither one of us won the long drive competition. In fact, I threw a Champ Blizzard Ape. It went about ~275 ft before it flipped over and rolled backwards about ~15 ft. And, there was only 1 winner, so it was factually impossible for both of us to win the long drive competition. Therefore, we did not win extra plastic. In fact, we won $90 a piece and we donated a total of $6 back to the JCS Club. And if anyone was wondering, we paid $10 on 50/50 and lost.
Fortunately, Pat and myself probably should have signed up in the advanced division, and yes, we recognize that. However, based upon rating and recent performances, we as a team, felt as if the intermediate division was the necessary division for us to play in. That was also the first time that Pat and myself had been partners together in a doubles event. We ended up starting on a relatively short hole and made a 2 (I can't exactly remeber what hole we started on, that was only my second time playing at this course):wall:. Followed that up with a 2, 3 , 2. After that, things just clicked and we played partner golf. That was also the first time that either one of us had drank 15+ plus beers in a single event. We are hockey players, we like to drink.
So put yourself in our position. You and your partner's rank is within the intermediate range. You get hammered drunk, shoot lights out, and people get upset. To us, we fed on it and performed well in the second round and continued getting hammered. Frankly, you could have called us anything you wanted to at the time and not have gave a s***. This event was supossed to be a for fun event.
So, please don't light my bag, or Pat's bag on fire. Instead, there is other stuff we can light to help cool your jets bro. Afterall, it's just a game my friend.
Peace out to all,
Johnny Lynn

. We won a total of $90. Had we played in the advanced division, I think we would have won a total of about $140. The TD of the tournament was a great guy. I shot the breeze with him several times throughout the event. I actually spotted the club some ice before the event started. Anyways, I just wanted to quickly reitterate the fact that we won a total of $90, not $90 a piece, which was stated in the original post.First time I have ever posted anything on this site.
