Panama City Chain Gang Bag Tag Challenge 2013

Scott R.    June 26, 2013 at 5:37pm

Guys and Gals,

THe new disc golf course in Alford, 'The Bear', is a great course and one needed in our area. If you have not played this course yet I recommend playing it when you get the chance. I believe some people are going Saturday morning so if you would like to go let us know.

If you plan on being there before 8 a.m., when they open, you need to let us know. They do not want golfers up before they open unless they know by Friday afternoon.

Hope to see you Saturday!!

Now go throw,

Golfers!!

We now have a brand new 18 hole course!

But not here. The new course is about 40 min. north of us in Alford at Compass Lake. This weekend they are offering to play the course for free. I would contact them before I make the drive to be sure. However after this weekend they may start to charge the normal fee of $5 for all day play. They open at 8 a.m. Here is the link for more information on a great course that I think we really need:

well the Compass lake course was pretty good . It had a good variety of shots left,right ,uphill downhill. still not sure i started with the right basket on hole #1 and baskets are not # ,but pretty easy to follow after hole #1. you have to play it once to see where the baskets are then play a second round. I think the par 4,s should be 3's and the last hole a par 4. I played from the short tees and had a -6 and -8 and just missed a few more birdies. hole 11 is the best a 340' shot dow ... more

I played from the short tees and had a -6 and -8 and just missed a few more birdies. hole 11 is the best a 340' shot downhill to the water,careful the water is only about 60' away. right now it is free to play but unfortunately you cant use the pool or lake unless your a owner or are renting a cabin. it's for sure worth a trip from Panama city. take lots of water, there is a lot of uphill walking and of course yellow flies.

It cost $5.00 to play all day. hole distances are 200' to 700' thats right 700'. I am going to talk the wife into taking a ride up there today or tomorrow anyone else care to go. Don't forget your Chain gang T-shirt beware hole 18 throws over lake

Attention all golfers: Please be on the lookout for a yellow wraith, star plastic. Inked on the backside. Says: "Aced Hole B, 1st Round, 1st Shot of Tallahassee Open; 06/08/13" I played with this disc at UTO Tuesday night (06/11/13; league night) but I haven't seen it since. If you find it please let me know: [email redacted] ; Call or text 229-805-7273. Thanks!

We had a great time this past Saturday at the Tallahassee Open. We played two rounds at Tom Brown and one at Jack McLean parks. Turbo Tim, 'Catfish' Chris B., Chris W. and myself along with 115 other disc golfers played about 15 hours of disc golf, made some new friends, and had a great time with some Tallahassee disc golfers.

Chris B. shot the better between the four of us, Turbo Tim came in 3rd in his division, and Chris W. threw an ace on his first throw, on his first hole of the tournament! He was also recognized for getting CTP on one of the holes as well.
Next year let's have more of our club members attend.
If you haven't played the courses in Tallahasse you really should play either course as they are both a lot of fun with something to offer. If you guys would be interested in going over to Tallahassee on a Saturday and playing for the day, let us know. Which park would you guys like to play for our next out-of-town bag tag challenge??

I want to thank our club members who came out to play for our monthly bag tag challenge today. Had something different today with an Ace Race challenge that Tommy put together and did a fantastic job! It was something new, a lot of fun, and a good challenge.

Please check out the Leaderboard and make sure you have the correct tag number. If not, let one of us know so we can change the leaderboard.

Next weekend is the Tallahassee Open. If anyone is planning on going please post it or let and admin know it so they can post it. I believe we may have a couple of members who may want to go but do not have a ride. There are a couple of members going over on Friday and some going over on Saturday so let us know if you would like to go. If you are going I would encourage you to wear your club t-shirt. If you do not have one and would like to get one let us know.
Have a great week!!

Mixing things up a bit. This Saturday we are doing an Ace Race for our monthly challenge. Here are the proposed rules:

Ace Race Rules

The rules for an Ace Race are different from regular play. Below are my variations of the “official” DiscCraft Ace Race Rules. Come out and Ace Race for the lowest Tag.

Local Course Modifications
 We will be making the holes shorter. After all, the point is to encourage aces.
 Each player may carry only Two discs onto the Ace Race course.
 Each player will have two throws per hole for a total of 18 holes per round.
 The club Ace Pot is not eligible to be won during this event.

POINTS WILL BE AWARDED AS FOLLOWS:
• 1 point for contact with basket and under metal.
• 3 points for contact with chains and top of basket.
• 7 points for ace.

________________________________________

Format:
Two rounds of 9 , Two throws per player per hole. Both throws scored.

Course Layout:
Holes are generally shortened to between 100 and 250 feet.

Rules of Play:
Players are required to use the two discs, and only these discs. If a disc is lost, the player can substitute a new disc. Only two throws per player per hole. Groups of up to eight are generally acceptable, depending on course, time of day and TD discretion.

Each player should have their own scorecard and mark “7” for aces and “1” or “3” for holes on which they hit metal.

After all players in the group have thrown, discs are picked up and the group moves directly to the next tee. Players keep their scorecards for round two, using the next line on the card to record the round.

The player with the highest score after the second round is declared the winner. In case of ties, a closest to the pin contest is then held to determine the winner.

Scott R.    May 16, 2013 at 6:37pm

Don't forget the Spring Fling is set for this Saturday w/registration starting @ 8 a.m.

Scott R.    May 14, 2013 at 8:28pm

Golfers!!
Please see the attached flyer for the Spring Fling tournament this Saturday as the date was changed from last Saturday due to weather, but this Saturday is looking good. I believe there will be other games, such as a ring of fire, ace pot (for club members), etc. So come out and enjoy a morning of some fun disc golf!
We will be selling club t-shirts at this tournament!

Scott R.    May 11, 2013 at 1:45am

Hey Golfers,

Golfers,
The Spring Fling tornament has be canceled due to the weather forecast, buy will be rescheduled for another Saturday very soon. It will more than likely be either next Saturday the 18th or the 25th. Stay posted.

When you guys post tag updates from matches, you need to post scores as well otherwise it does not show as a round recorded on the Leaderboard. It is just a tag update.
