Now if only you had a little pro C Tier on Saturday of the event on an unused course. In all seriousness - a friend of mine who doesn't disc golf (yet) and I are going to be coming down to just enjoy the atmosphere and add to the party. We'll be rolling up on Thursday afternoon/night. Should be a blast and a half!

(real reason I'm coming to town: to hunt HB down and get the $10 he owes me for that soft putter I gave him before our final round at the `08 Ams! I'm comin' for ya HB! haha)

 

[HB553]

I'm comin' for ya HB! haha)

The two small courses in town are open - WKU and Natcher Elementary, and we do not play the 9 hole at WhaBah until Sunday - so plenty of availability for play for those not in the event.

Oh yeah, I was mostly kidding about that. You've got plenty on your plate. My friend and I will likely be tossing with our friends in the tournament before rounds, and goofing off with discs after the rounds. We're going down there to have a good ol' time. My friend is a competitive and fun person, so I'm trying to hook him on the game straight off with the atmosphere of BG Ams. If there's anything worth commending BG KY on - it is the atmosphere they've created of both fun and competition, and I've regretted not being able to get back just to hang out until now. It is a great vacation just to be in town with all the disc golfers on BG Ams weekend.

Is there pre-registration for the Hills of B.G.? Coming down from Cincy and don't want to get shutout. Or should I not worry about it?
