Veterans Course Slideshow
Too much lousy weather and idle holiday time on my hands has allowed me the opportunity to tweak the slideshow design a bit. You'll notice on the hole 2 frame that you can now register your name if you've ACED this hole! Pretty cool feature and a nice way to record what holes wou've aced so all the world can see! Trust me, it works! Tannehill was used as a test as he probably was the first to ace this hole. Editing this list is about of a pain, so please do not register Elvis, Santa, or any other names as it will only lessen the overall quality of our site! In time, more holes will be tweaked to include this feature. Now, go out and Ace one!

Hole 1 Hole 2 Hole 3 Hole 4 Hole 5 Hole 6 Hole 7 Hole 8 Hole 9
Hole 10 Hole 11 Hole 12 Hole 13 Hole 14 Hole 15 Hole 16 Hole 17 Hole 18

Members, bring your free Pot-Luck Lunch at 12noon for all to eat!

Who:
All 2008 TDGA bag tag holders only.

Why:
Pure braggin' rights! This "last mini" is to determine the Final 2008 TDGA Bag Tag Holders and see who gets GOLD for 2009! The overall winners will not only take home the #1 2008 bag tag for keeps, they also receive an engraved brick detailing their accomplishment, plus the major share of the mini's cash award!

How:
23 Holes! B Position! Throw from the AM pads!

$10-$30
$10 for BTC Fee
$20 for a New 2009 TDGA Bag Tag (optional: applies only if your renewing membership)
 
Registration is Below --- Scroll Down, and get your name w/ division posted!

For the Bag Tag Challenge, there are no mulligans and no handicaps! It’s straight up, head to head competition! Only the strong survive! Yes, the cards are stacked in favor of those so called "skilled players", but anyone who throws out a good game on the Saturday in January on the TDGA home course is liable to bring home some gold!

The #1 bag tag holder is required to make this tournament or give up rights to their tag! That's pretty much a guarantee that all members will have a shot at #1. The $10 registration fee will go towards prizes and payouts. Payouts will be per division:  PRO 33%, ADV 33%, AM 50%, JR 100%.  All winners of the PRO, ADV, AM and 40+yr olds will win a $42 MS State Park Yearly Pass from Tombigbee State Park.  The JR Division winner will receive an equal prize in disc golf merchandise.

The regular running Ace Pot will be up for grabs!

Each player will receive a TDGA Mini upon registration!

After the round, the top 10 players randomly draw the Gold Bag Tags, and then the remaining tags will be awarded in order of scores!

As daylight allows, more prizes will be awarded via a "Ring of Fire"!

Come early and enjoy potluck lunch and a great day of TDGA disc golf!

Disc Golf Terms and Humor
Humor: A young man who was also an avid disc golfer found himself with a few hours to spare one afternoon. He figured if he hurried and played very fast, he could get in nine holes of disc golf before he had to head home. Just as he was about to drive off the first tee off an old gentleman shuffled up and asked if he could accompany the young man as he was golfing alone. Not being able to say no, he allowed the old gent to join him. To his surprise the old man played fairly quickly. He didn't throw with much distance but was accurate and plodded along consistently and didn't waste much time. Finally, they reached the 9th fairway and the young man found himself with a tough shot. There was a large cedar tree right in front of his disc a few yards - and directly between his disc and the basket. After several minutes of debating how to make the shot the old man finally said, "You know, when I was your age I'd throw the disc right over that tree." With that challenge placed before him, the youngster threw hard, the disc went up high, right smack into the top of the tree and it dropped back on the ground still blocked by the tree! The old man offered one more comment, "Of course, when I was your age that tree was only three feet tall."

Subject: ...
One problem with this. I can't be there at 11:30 with my food. I won't likely make it until 12:45-1:00. Should I still bring some eats? I want to but can't make the early time.

Let me know guys.


Tournaments :: RE: 2008 BAG TAG CHALLENGE

I also want to add:

If you plan to join the PDGA for 2009 through the TDGA's Affiliate Club status, then you will need to bring an extra $45 with you if your an am, or $70 if you are a pro - I will have printed membership forms with me for you to fill out, then next week I'll mail them off with the money and you will get your membership package 3-4 weeks after that.

This is only the first bundled membership drive we are doing. If you can not afford to join the PDGA now, but want to do so later, we are planning a 2nd membership drive for late Feb. or early March. All that matters is that you join the PDGA before you play in your first PDGA event.

If you do not plan on playing any PDGA sanctioned tournaments in 2009, then it is not necessary for you to join the PDGA unless you just want to donate money to the official governing body. The TDGA will stop continue on as normal, with local events and players coming first, as well as continuing to run some non PDGA sanctioned events. See the Affiliate Club thread if you want more details or send me a pm if you have any questions.


Tournaments :: RE: 2008 BAG TAG CHALLENGE

Final Decisions on the BAG TAG CHALLENGE:

Registration:
Sign-in starts at 11:30am, and the Pot-Luck food should be brought at this time also.
NOTE: We will also be asking for your email address, and we will take your 2008 Bag Tag at this time.

Food:
Please bring extension cords and splitters, if you have them.
We should have 6 to 8 Croc-Pots (hopefully more), at the tables.
All volunteers to be there early, for set ups.

Winning Prize Per Division:
(4) $42 MS State Park Pass will be awarded to:
PRO, ADV & AM, and to the winner of players, at or over 40yrs old.
(if the 40+yr old winner ends up in a position to win 2 passes, then the 2nd place
finisher will be awarded the prize.)
These 4 winning Players will receive coupons, and must cash them in at Tombigbee State Park.
The Junior Division will win an equal significant prize, TDGA will fix you up!

Raffles:
An extra Innova Skillshot basket will be raffled at $2 per ticket.

There will be 8 CTP's
Each Division has a chance to win a RIPT Revenge Card set, and a Disc.
(NOTE: The disc will be selected, per division, so that a JR wont end up with a
hard throwing BOSS, and so on....)
----------------------------------
PRO CTP's are Holes #9 & #11.
ADV CTP's are Holes #1 & #26.
AM CTP's are Holes #4 & #19.
JR CTP's are Holes #14 & #15.

Ring of Fire
This will consist of some of the TDGA discs, BUT, we need to have players chip in discs, T-Shirts, Koozies,
or any Disc Golf Items, to make this a fun thing. (TDGA cannot fund this entirely....)

ACE POT
The Running ACE POT of $205, will be available to all players, free of charge.
(you do not have to donate $1 at this mini, every participating 2008 TDGA Player
can ACE, and win 1/2 the Pot = $102.50!!)

Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.


Tupelo Disc Golf :: RE: Things to ponder

Dill, the Ace pot rolling over to night mini's has been discussed before as Teep mentioned. Too many play the weekly mini's that do not make the night mini's. It's an unfair advantage to the big ace pot bucks to those that actually make the night mini. The best suggestion I can offer is to begin a rolling night mini ace pot that those regular night DG'ers maintain. Then, if the night event maintains good numbers AND the aces truly are rare, it would develop it's own "nice" ace pot to attract those nocturnal flingers!

That's the best option in my opinion.

As far as rules at the mini's, tactful instruction should be relayed to new players. If a veteran player get's too annoying relaying "how it's supposed to be done" in "real tournaments", then new players are less likely to return. The mini's are casual play with a bit of a purpose in regards to bag tags. They have always been advertised as a great way for new players to come out and play with skilled players and pick up tips on how to improve their game. No one likes to be TOLD what to do, and all mini players aren't as strict on adhering to the rules as they would be in a real tournament anyway. It's best to hang loose, instruct when and where you can, hope it's accepted, have fun, and be a good example to others by the way you play. Do leave the rule thumping to sanctioned events!
