NEFA DISCussion

Thanks so much John. It was great meeting you and many other new-to-me people since I've been out of the tournament scene for a umber of years now.

I hope to do more events like this - at the very least to give more people more reasons to visit Beauty Hill. Blaze & Lisa have done amazing things ...

Thanks for all the people who seem to be registering en masse yesterday and today. Pre-registration certainly isn't required but it is a big help to Lisa to make sure she'll have enough food for everyone. Lunch is included!

cool event justin. im a pretty big fan of their 17mm drivers and couldnt imagine a round without an envy at this point. not sure why it is but, you just dont see mvp/axiom out on the course often. I'm not saying I play out of New England every weekend but anytime I'm outside of NEFAland I feel like ...

That sounds like fun!
That's the idea (Bob AND Chris!). Honestly, if anyone goes home without saying they had a ton of fun then we will have failed. I'm not a big fan of playing in regular singles play tournaments so I hope that a lot of little fun events will be enjoyed by all and if you don't ...

Awww, thanks Jeff. I think the same thing anytime I see anything you're running
If this goes very well and MVP doesn't have their own series next year I might investigate running one in a more populated area in 2015.

I am extremely proud to announce that Wendy + I (aka CommunityDiscs.com ) along with course owner Lisa will be running the "MVP Test Flight" at my favorite course, The Woods at Beauty Hill on Sat Sept 27th.

Please see the flyer for details but basically, this is our own version of an Ace Race/VBB ...

Awesome, I live in VT how will I get them?
I'm in Boston but I'm not against driving around. I'm up at Beauty Hill (Barnstead, NH) every so often so I can try to meetup with folks there or just leave yours there if you can get there...Wow, that's a lot of "theres".

Anyway, I'm thinking it might ...

I ordered these on the 4th. I was finally told to expect them on Wed. I'm going to want to get rid of them ASAP. I'm arguing about the tax line item I'm being charged. I'll post a final cost once I have that sorted out. Thanks for being patient everyone.

I apologize for all the delays. I'm ready to order but there's enough interest that I now need more than the minimum...which I suppose is a good problem. I'll post again once I've ordered (which will still be this week).

I love that they say "These are the best courses in and around Boston". I know land is at a premium but it really makes me sad how few courses we have in heavily populated areas compared to the rest of the US. I am excited that Simonds got a mention.

Good to meet up with you at Hunter last weekend Scott.

I'm requesting a quote right now. I really just had to wait for my credit card to roll over to the next month (which it just did) before ordering since I'm not expecting to get money from people before I order.

Buckhorn ships via freight so ...

maybe I'll patent it and put up a post in a week. "Disc Storage Bin Lids- Want to buy as a group?"
You're hilarious Jaxon.
It would be great if these had tops. Buckhorn does make bins with tops but nothing just the right size for discs.

I've had some unexpected personal expenses so I'd like to ...

Justin,

The specs state 8.8" ID hgt. I mic'd a Comet (a somewhat large mid) and it came out 8.75". That's tight. Now I'm not intending to put too many Condors, Jaguars, etc. in there (the few I have can be 'angled' in) BUT need to know 100% that after placing in those styrafoam tubes in the lower ...

Brad, tell Marty he needs some. They're great to put on the floor under his current racks of discs.

Plug for Marty's course: Top O' The Hill!

Buckhorn is the company who makes those gray storage bins all the disc vendors use. They're excellent because they hold upto 35 discs and you can stack them to the sky without the bottom one showing any stress from the weight above (about each 20lbs when fully loaded).

Buckhorn recently changed ...

What are the choices available for the "custom disc" in the players pack?? Anything I might use?
Blaze alerted me to a disc question. I really want to include stories about my being in bed for weeks with lyme disease and Innova running out of one of the models I selected but I'll just list the ...

That is extremely cool Dan!

This is a pretty nice article about John.

Thanks for posting this Steve. I've been on the fence about posting the Beauty Hill event on the tournament thread.

The shed shop will have Vibram rubber for shamefully low prices that night.

We hope to use some of the new 18-hole short course for the Birdie Mini that night. Be the first to check ...

The second post now has results. I'll post a heart-felt thank you to everyone a little later. Right now I'll apologize for not posting results sooner. Especially because of the Dubz points series it is very important these get posted. Sorry about that. Please let me know if anyone disagrees with the ...

Kevin Fanning wrote:results?

I suppose I could put those together. Sorry about that. I'll try to do it tonight.

Thanks Roger, you guys are on the list. Hopefully we'll get some pro competition for you.

COURSES UPDATE:
I just spoke to my Parks guy. They're putting woodchips around each of the baskets and new stone dust has been put down on all the tees. Some of the front boards on the tee boxes were damaged ...

Looks like we're upto 30 people. I'm very happy about that. Some folks from the New England Deaf DG club are coming. They're great guys and girls and they're very patient with us hearing folks

I have all the baskets I was seeking. The temp holes will be just like last year's Ice Bowl. I hope these ...

Looks like we're all set. Thank you to Pete, Kyle, & Patrick for bringing better baskets than the Traveler I have.

Like i said in your other thread, i will bring my mach lite. What type of discs did you get?
I'll PM you with the answer Kyle since you're bringing a basket but you can see the two letter codes in reverse through the discs in the picture. I'll add that one of those models is extremely flat and I ...

Justin, i can bring my mach lite sunday up with me.
If you don't mind Kyle that would be hugely appreciated. I heard back from my two DB-5 guy but I would have to pick those up which isn't horrible but my car's going to be packed that day so I'm trying to avoid driving my tent and folding tables ...

Thank you Trenton and Andy. I'm hoping to get an offer closer to Boston but I feel MUCH better knowing I can get baskets from you guys so I know I'm covered for Sunday.

I'll let you know once I'm certain I'll need to come get yours or not.

I'm looking for 2 loaner baskets for a NEFA Dubz event I'm running at Simonds (Burlington, MA) this Sunday. DB-5's would be excellent. Anyone have one or two I can borrow? It would be most convenient if you could bring yours to the event but I'm not against picking up. Wed or Thurs evening would be ...

Thank you so much Pete.

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone has a basket to loan. I have an Innova traveller but I would hate to resort to a non-metal basket for the temp holes. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Never a problem paying day-of.

The 2nd post now has pictures of the tournament discs.
I'm pretty happy with how the stamp came out.
