Openings in Recreational Men, and Sr. GM Men, as well as all women divisions.

Players will be add from the wait list after the March ratings update to expand each pool to 90 players, so MA1 and MA2 have room to grow on the wait list. If you are beyond 7 or 8 on the MM1 or GM wait list and want to play consider playing another division.

chalybeate

i havent played chalybeate course and to me wth all the o.bs that it doesnt look very friendly to a bh lefty.. is this course not as bad as it reads? i realize most holes are short but it seams that all the ob are on the right side where all my shots fade.

Definitely not as bad as it reads. They were just declaring all the possible OB's, but most of them would take a really extraordinary screw up to put the OB in play. I've only played it a few times (also being from out of town), but if I recall correctly, the only hole that will give a lefty more concern than a righty would be hole two, where the rhbh fade line is natural along the woods. Never even worried about the path.

...now, that's not to say the shorties along the hillside aren't a little gut-wrenching for everybody, but the course will reward all players with a number of ace runs and deuce opportunities.

I would agree, holes 2 and 3 would be tough for a lefty backhand. Otherwise it won't be that big of an issue, and like sisy said OB isn't that big of an issue.

Tentatively planning a trip March 19 to practice Chalybeate, Preston Miller, Basil Griffin, & Franklin. Does anyone know of any course conflicts that day? I know there have been some warm-up tournaments the past couple of years, but I haven't seen anything about those this year . . .

Looks like that is a bad weekend... unless you want to play tournaments.

Yeah the Hills is on Sat (Yakis, Lovers) and the Woods is on Sunday (miller, hobson)

 

[ratskrad]

Thanks! Not sure how I missed that series announcement this year.

That schedule is good & confusing though - lists The Hills & The Woods as Sat/Sun Mar 18/19, but the 18/19 is Fri/Sat, not Sat/Sun . . . and the other four are May 14/15 & Jun 11/12, all of which are Sundays somehow.

 

[NOStheBOSS]

They're all on Saturday/Sunday

LEGACY fund raising disc in stock

The final one of the fund raising discs are in stock - and worth the wait!
Legacy has made a run of 50 of the new Phenom in glow plastic - great feeling and durable - this disc was first run for the Battle of the Aces Legacy events, and is not released in a general run as of yet.

The Phenom is an 8 speed driver with lots of glide. The Phenom does not stray far from the line you release it on. A slight turn in the beginning of its flight and slightly more fade at the end of its flight makes for pinpoint accuracy.

The discs are $25 each - includes shipping in the US.
Weight - 174g

pay pal info and all discs left are located here: http://www.bluegrassdiscgolf.org/BGamDISCS.html

feel free to comment - I am providing this for Disc Golfer Magazine and I know if I post it here first I will have plenty of spell checkers and comments worth including before the short deadline coming up soon . . . . :

The Courses:

The Rick & Sylvia Voakes Disc Golf Course at White Park 9 (established 1990): The nick name Blowing Green is in full effect on this wide open course with OB trails on each hole, limited elevation and young trees give players the chance to grip and rip here! The 7240 foot par 61 course will be played by recreational and sr. grandmaster men and all women.

I think this got missed in the edit. Isn't White being played by Grandmasters not Senior GM?

 

[HB553]

Correct Jerry - I corrected that prior to the story thanks to a few good eyes helpingme look overth story.

 

[roadtripstuff]

Does anyone know, or HB if you see this, if the women's divisions will be playing the shorts at Franklin again this year?

 

[HB553]

All divisions that play the Franklin Course will play the short tees.

 

[Atvizory2000]

With this recent warm weather, Im really starting to get hyped up about the tourney now! Get that practice in!
