NEFA DISCussion

Patrick Harris wrote:I might be going too.

Would like to grab practice round with additional temp 9 layout this Friday too.

Not sure which division that I would like to play. It's either AM1 or MM1.

Can I pay on the day of? or pay on Friday if the TD will be there too?

You can pay day of if you would like. $2 day of fee though. I am unsure if I will be able to make it Friday as of now

my 2 cents PAtrick, I think you would beat the current Am1 field pretty handily, step up and give Drew Smith a run for his money.

this just in! NEFA's own Rick Williams And Doug Callaghan are registered for OB open! awesomeness, thanks Guys!

And those are probably listed in order of cost low to high. Also Granite Gorge will allow camping Friday night if you are into camping.

Registered. MPO since my NASA brethren are the only other pro's registered. Trent, as Drew mentioned on the OBO page, I can bring either a DB-5 or a Mach 3 depending on how the car packs.....Bring it Sat at 8:00am?

Also, I sponsored a hole and was hoping I might be grouped with Sam Paul and Dave Martindale for the first round. They may end up paying you Saturday morning, and after consultation, it looks like they'll both be signing up for Advanced Grandmasters. Rick, you have company!!!!

Drew, I'm camping just north of Newfane VT both Friday and Saturday nights if you're interested. Although after checking goog maps, it looks like an hour and not 40 min away.

Drew won 2nd place in MPO (by one stroke behind the winner) while I came in 8th in AM1 at Tully Tournament this year.

I can't take cash and wouldn't able to earn PDGA AM points if I do play MPO.

If it's not PDGA, then I'll be happy to play MPO and take cash as well.

Justin Duncan has good AM1 rating that match my skills. Should he crush this division too? He needs some competition also. If he moves up, then I'll follow.

Since both MPO and AM1 are the same price. I'll decide when the time comes. OR the TD tells me otherwise.

FYI, I do have DGA Mach 3 basket (same one at Austine DGC) if need me to bring it too.

Stewie,

Go check out the new 9-hole course that I designed in Newfane.

It's flat technical Par 27 course. It's still rough and needs break-ins.

It's at Newbrook Elementary School (Formerly Newfane Elementary School). Google map it.

Park at the parking lot and go behind left side of the school to follow the path behind the shed to #1 tee.

Tee signs and "next tee" signs are in place. You shouldn't get lost there.

Yes, it's open to public!! Enjoy!!

Thanks for the info Bob!

If you are not in the horseshoe pit on Hole 10 straight to the drop zone

I hope they don't have regulation horseshoe pits in NH. If they do, a 210' shot to a 36"x72" (maximum regulation sized pit in horseshoes) is VERY precise!

Mr. Harris, you are the man. We've been going to a camp in Brookline for over 30 years. I absolutely know the Newbrook School. How nice to be able to stop by Rick's on the way home. The way you're slowly working your way up Route 30, means the Townsend Reservoir course is next, right? We'll check it out this weekend.

Fear not! The island is at least 2 pits (maybe 3) wide. I am average player and i made the shot in practice. What you need to worry about is the beach hole!!

I just signed up!! MPO please. I sponsored a hole. I think hole 1, doesn't have to be that one tho.

Well folks, looks like we have us a tournament! we have 25 for sure and Im sure we will get another 5-10 by Saturday. So here is what is going on next 3 days.

Thursday. Bob and Gally will be out at course at 3:30 marking temp tees and flagging where baskets will be. Drop zones etc.

Friday. We will have as many baskets out as possible starting at noon. Keep in mind that the park is closed so you will need to walk in. For new folks, park at top. You can start play on Hole 5 which is down the road on the right at bottom of the hill past the bridge (don't go over the bridge, stay on the main road) Or you can walk to #1 which on the right down before the second bridge. That is our permanent 9. Over the second bridge will be our temp 9 and that will start with 10 near the bathrooms, shooting towards the horse shoe pits. I will be around the course most of the day. We will have baskets out till dark.

Friday Night. Granite Gorge will be hosting a Putt and Pub. Baskets will be out, Lights on, and Deck open beers and such. We will be playing some putting games, maybe a couple knockout rounds and be giving away some GG discs and Otter Brook Tees.

Saturday. Time to play!! We will be accepting signups day of. And for those that don't think there game is tourney ready, don't sweat it. Play rec and just come out and have fun. And you will get a Otter Brook stamped disc.

Umm...never thought about Townshend Reservoir...thanks for the tip and will check it out!

Seriously considering coming up on Sat. If I do I'll be playing AM 2 and will have moola..... Just gotta wrap my head around the 4 hours of driving, I already know its worth it..........

Let's be honest, I have already made the decision, all I actually have to do is get in the car...................................

It's a hike ERic, but we'll make you feel at home, hope to meet you!

Just checked then and they are good.

Fun tourney today, thanks Trenton for all the hard work. You always run smooth tourneys.


Amazing work on the course from everyone, it really looked great, i was shocked when Rob told me each piece of lumber for the tee pads was stained. A small detail in the big picture but it gave each tee pad a little different look and feel. Great courses are built in the details right? Cant wait to see whats next for keene disc golf.

WOw, what a great day! Props to everyone who made this possible, course workers, behind the scenes helpers, TD, Players, and quiet unsung heroes who donate to our general fund which will create a fantastic back 9. I appreciate every one of you and all you do. The changes that have occured in the last two years are mindblowing.

It was a huge success. Trophies will be coming once I get some pictures from our photographer. We were able to raise $536 from the tournament and another $158 through donations. This does not include t shirt and additional disc sales. I had a blast running the event and am looking forward to running it again next year where it will be part of the Dam series and a NEFA event.

Had a blast, as always. That temp 9 is great, and totally serviceable for future tournaments until the perm 9 are in!

Would've loved to make this but am dealing with a lower back issue...........yeah, old age cometh.

But I'd love to purchase a tourney disc as well, and a Keene Disc golf shirt. let me know what you got left. --jimbob

you got it Jim, will get back to you on what discs we have, I know we have a ton of shirts small-XL. they are very stylish.

Cool, any type of mid range disc is fine if available, and do any of the shirts come in long sleeve at all? if not, a large tee is fine. thanks bud jimbobcat

jealous

Very sad I couldn't make the tournament, would love to buy a tourney disc or two, let me know what you got Rob!

Hope y'all had a blast
