USF Riverfront Park will be closed 5/6 through 5/13 so no handicaps there the next two weeks!

bbq back on for next Sunday 5/6 weather permitting (wow it is May already). Bring some extra loot to pitch in (a few bucks as in 3 or more)...this will help pay for the grub and a few samll tokens of our appreciation for the folks who run the handi and keep us up to date .... also can have a ring of fire if I bring my basket. on the menu ( pink slime free burgers and giant 1/4 lb dogs with all the trimmings for both) fyi .... the following Sunday 5/13/12 is Mother's Day

Handicap cancelled due to rain. May play later today when front clears through around noon.

Al Ford    April 22, 2012 at 3:16pm

Cookout is cancelled due to general wetness. Postponed until next week or next availlable and rier conditions.

I will probably be setting up in the back on hole 8 if we are allowed to cook back there. Bring more than a buck if you can please, bring 3 to 5 bucks if you can. That will cover all the burgers and homewrecker sized dogs. with all the trimmings. If you are veggie freak bring your grillable squash or shroom or whatever other hideous plant you may eat

Al Ford    April 16, 2012 at 3:38am

I will be charring burgers and prolly sum dogs basic style next weekend after the round. Everybody bring and extra 2 bills to chip in if you can. This will help fund some special plastic to the folks who have dedicated there time to run it week in week out.

The park is closed tomorrow, but I don't know if there are plans to meet anywhere else

Parag Gajarawala    March 13, 2012 at 7:58pm

Is the park closed this Sunday (3/18) as well? Does anyone have plans to play anywhere else Sunday if it is closed?

Al Ford    March 11, 2012 at 4:23pm

3/11/12 Handi at USF closed ... Some of us meeting at Cliff Stephens at 10-ish

Video of Gator on Hole 3 welcomes back handicappers.

Thanks, Albert! We had a blast. A good morning round at Whispering Pines, then a ridiculous round of 6-6-6 triples in the rain and wind at Floral Park.

Albert Bonilla    December 7, 2011 at 10:06pm

Happy Birthday John! Have a good round at Floral Park. Only reason I'm not there is because I have an exam today.

John "Doctor Disc" Fleming    December 7, 2011 at 5:20pm

Thanks, Jeff!

Jeff Bone    December 7, 2011 at 9:39am

Happy Birthday John, I won't be able to make it out to your celebrations on Wednesday. You guys have a blast!!

John "Doctor Disc" Fleming    December 6, 2011 at 5:53pm

Fleming's birthday discventure is tomorrow! We're playing Inverness starting at about 9, having lunch at the Shamrock Inn in Floral City, then playing the Floral Park course in the afternoon. Come if you can. Flasks optional.

Albert Bonilla    December 5, 2011 at 9:24pm

It was actually me and Steve who won doubles yesterday.

Jeff Bone    December 2, 2011 at 11:23pm

Thanks Al! I've played at Limona a couple times, it is a good little course, that's the only other one so far. If anyone has any plans to go play other courses around or plays in any of the tourny's around let me know, I would love to join you. It would be nice to play with people I've played with before at these. Thanks again Al.

Limona Brandon is a nice little course with surprising elevations (9 holes with alt black rubber pads). Medard park in East Valrico area is very challenging. Tee pads are not in yet, so the rubber pads that are there are playable as long as you brush the sand off of them and it is nice and dry. Floral City is a nice elevated, well maintained course up in Spring Hill. Lutz Executive is tough course if you play all the putting greens as hazards ( it is also a Par 3 ball golf course and you pay to ... more

Floral City is a nice elevated, well maintained course up in Spring Hill. Lutz Executive is tough course if you play all the putting greens as hazards ( it is also a Par 3 ball golf course and you pay to play) with some funky baskets. T1 and T2 at Turkey Lake in Orlando is a good event. As far as PDGA membership. I think it really does not matter what you say you are as your ranking will be adjusted as you play PDGA events. http://www.pdga.com/files/documents/PDGARatingsGuide.pdf Most tourneys take ALL weekend ( except for some one day Tourneys like the Del Sol tour events). The Sizzler event at Tradewinds in Fort Lauderdale was a good event from memory. If you play these events other than Rec you will run inot some sticklers for the rules and some people that try to cheat, ands some that think they know the rules but don't etc, etc. On the other hand most of the players are very freindly and a pleasure to play with but just like life you run inot some tools now and then.

Just found this. I've done well the last few weeks, I'm figuring out the course and getting back into the game. Thanks to all of you, I'm having a great time meeting and playing with all of you.
Questions; With the new year approaching I was thinking about a PDGA membership as well as trying out some of the 2012 Florida events. What should I register as, an amature or intermediate or recerational player? What are the best events? Where are the best courses outside of St. pete? D ... more

Questions; With the new year approaching I was thinking about a PDGA membership as well as trying out some of the 2012 Florida events. What should I register as, an amature or intermediate or recerational player? What are the best events? Where are the best courses outside of St. pete? Do any of you travel and play any distant courses or events, how do you fare? Well I used to play back in college pretty well, that was 10 years ago, life took hold, I had to break from the sport for a time but I would love to pick it back up regularly. Could any of you please share your thoughts and insights. Thanks
