NEFA DISCussion

i like rumours, speculations, and wild conjectures.

to put some perspective on it, a nickle weighs about 5 grams (+/- 0.1g). Put 2 nickles in one hand and put 3 in the other and see if you can really notice a significant difference. or use pennies, which weight about 2.5g as long as they're minted after 1982.

Sure flatter payouts may reduce that, but it certainly wouldn't reduce the amount of complaining that would occur.

Hell, it's your money that you won so do whatever the heck you want with it. But I do think it takes a little something away from the spirit of the tournament, cheapens it a bit ...

Steve D. and I were doubles partners last saturday and would have had a 3 on 18 Airplanes if we could putt.

Anyone from around these parts heading down to the WVO? I'm trying to decide whether to fly down to virginia and get a ride from some friends there. Or to try to carpool with anyone that maybe heading down from this area.

i only cheat on them when i need ching rocs.

umm...I think this is the General Discussions thread. Or I missed the point.

a mile down the road?!

Luke, I think the L&F will be open on Saturday, Steve will be able to say for certain. There is a work day in the morning, then some sort of organized play afterwards. I'll be there working the L&F on Sunday from 10am to 3pm. You can also pick up discs at Tuesday Night league.

About 120 discs were pulled out of the ponds last week and were catalogued. The updated list will be posted soon (within the next day or two).

The amount of disc in the lost and found at Maple Hill is starting to get a little out of hand. Please, if you have any discs on the list come pick them ...

A Reuleax triangle has a diameter. It can also drill nearly square holes.

I was wondering who was running for MA pdga rep. There wasn't anyone on the ballot so I wrote my own name in. I figured with the 40 active pdga members in MA I stand a good chance with one vote. heh.

did anyone else notice that active pdga members in MA practically doubled over that last 4 ...

Man, wish I hadn't thought Wompatuck was in CT for some reason. But now that I know, I'll help out with that when I can.

As a Cantabrigian, I feel your pain and wish for a course closer to the cities. It would be quite a sweet thing to not have to drive at least 45 minutes to go play. It's funny, as much as we are a liberal place, we love bureaucracy and are very skeptical of change and new things.

And to echo matt ...

nice one, did you get to play with those guys pete? i used to play with those guys all the time when i lived down in VA. lots of good folks down there.

ah, my bad. my reading comprehension varies from week to week. maybe i'll try to convice him to come up, not sure if he knows of the offer to slide up to pro.

Maple Hill has garbage and recycling bins. And as a friendly reminder the short buckets are for garbage and the tall bins with holes are for cans. Also, glass bottles are not allowed.

looking forward to this one. could you move me to the advanced division (rob goudreau)? thought i signed up for AM1, guess i made a mistake. also, you have the wrong erik smith pre-reg'ed for the tournament. I used to play with the guy down in VA and i talked with him recently and he's not coming up ...

I'll be there from 10am to about 3pm to give your discs back. see you sometime then.

Hey Steve, any long shot chance that league could start at 5:30? I'm an unlucky 9 to 5 stiff and that extra half hour would mean a lot.

Ultimately, for me at least, it comes down to how the TD wants to run his/her tournament and structure the payouts. With that said though, I do favor strong, relatively shallow payouts for AM1, as well as less valuable player packs. AM2 and Rec divisions should recieve the benefit of a valuable ...

Justin, definitely would like to lend you a hand, but unfortunately, this weekend is locked up with work on saturday and maple hill II on sunday. But I work at hanscom afb and live in cambridge so someday after work next week could work. definitely would love to have a course that's under 30 minutes ...

so hopefully after this post I'll be able to put in my nice informative post about the area. sorry for three inane posts.

apparently that didn't work either. Rob, i'll send you a PM with some info then (maybe you could re-post as there is some useful info for others, that is if you get it ...

so i spent a 15 minutes or so writing a post before i realized that you couldn't do this, with links to clubs and discussion boards in the VA and MD area.

apperently as a new member you need 3 legitamate posts before you can put u-rl's into a post.
