Tournament Idea.... a challenge to the PGA

[NovaDiscHead]

How about a head to head ball/disc matchup of the best of both sports. 18 holes of ball golf, 18 holes of disc. Lowest score wins it all.

Here's my fantasy line-up:

Ken Klimo
Nate Doss
Niko Lecastro
Feldburg

v.s.

VJ Sighn
Tiger Woods
Phil Michelson
Jim Fuyrk

Attract some big time sponsors, a tv network and bam!

Now let's make it happen!

What if you added a top senior player (masters or grandmasters for us, whatever is equivalent for them) and one or two top female players from each side too? Make it even better tv.

And make it full contact.

 

[Apothecary]

youre aware ball golfers can hit a lot farther than dgers can throw, right?

I guess I need to explain that the tournament would take place at a location that has a championship ball and disc golf course in close proximity. A good place would be Laurel Hill/Giles Run in Lorton Virginia- a 18 hole RTJ course within eyesight of one of the toughest courses you'll ever play.

How bout this idea...when the golfers are teeing off with balls, our guys can throw discs at them, and vice-versa

oh that easy course

What's your best score pro to pro at Giles? Just curious, I think Ian H. has it at 55.

I've only played there once for the tourney last year. Hovey won Open and beat me by a dozen. He beat me by 11 on the longs and only one stroke on short to long. I finished 6th in Open. He's 27 years younger than me.

but i took that kid down at Duck Golf

Kid's a talent, though isn't he? I played with him one time, just a casual round at Burke Lake.

he loves himself way more than I love myself

That's not possible.

 

[chrishysell]

oh but it is, i'm practically shy and introverted compared to Ian Hovey although there was that one time I almost made him cry.

 

[NovaDiscHead]

Let's get back on topic...does anyone else like the idea, and who would you think would take it- a baller or a discer?

 

[chrishysell]

NovaDiscHead, do you ever hit Giles for search and rescue of lost discs? Meet up with the running man and his bat and beat down the briars?

 

[chrishysell]

Whatever floats your boat, dude. Knowing what I do about Ian, I think you're awfully disrespectful. Talking **** about someone who beat you by a dozen strokes...that takes some moxie.

He's really a friend and we give each other a hard time all the time. I made him admit he had a man crush on me because he couldn't beat me. Finally he said he did and he has crushed me ever since.

Naw, I usually just go after my errant throws. I think I'm running a positive plastic balance from the briars, but I'm too damn honest. Funny you mention Larry... the last time I played there, I found one of his off hole 17, and gave it back to him.

I know a few guys who'll come out with bats or retrievers on hunting trips...I just hope they do the right thing and call the people whose plastic they find.

Sorry about the previous post...I like the guy. He's cocky for sure, but he's got the talent to back it up. He told me some personal stuff that made me respect him a ton, though.
