Bowling Green Ams

[Luckyg71]

Anyone played this before? What else is there to do in BG while I am there?> Any good places to eat?

[MDR_3000]

I played it that last two years. It's a great time. If you get a chance to go, do it.

As far as stuff to do...We never did anything but drink and play cards when we weren't on the course.

Places to eat....white castle.

Let's get a roll call for who's going to BG...maybe we can organize a swell DGR.com meetup while we're there...neat-o!

I'll be there, along with Bernie and dscglfgeo. Rooster says he's in, but we will have to wait and see...


I know there are other Michigan people going, but I'm not sure which of them is a DGR.com user, so I don't want to put their name in here yet.

I will be there just playing AMs, are you guys playing Advanced?

[bigs348]

I'm a-going and playing Advanced. I am so pumped to get out there and start my competitive season. I cannot wait.

Driving out on Thursday, hoping to play some doubles (or at least get a look at the courses) on Friday, and then driving home Monday after the event.

It'd be sweet to actually get a name to a face with some of you guys.

Anybody been out previously that can give a heads up on the courses? I've read up on White, Hobson, Lovers, and Keriakes as I've heard that's what Advanced will probably play (or at least has in the past). Any personal experience around here?

[ambiguous]

I'd be all over it if I weren't in college and as a result nearly broke. Sucks cause I live not even an hour and a half away.

I'm going with a kid on here who goes by jacksweather, hasn't posted in a long time though. He live near Detroit and that's where I'm from, but am in Chicago for school...we're going though. Driving all nite Thursday and playing early on Friday.

I will be there just playing AMs, are you guys playing Advanced?

I am playing AM2, dscglfgeo is playing Advanced, I think Bernie is trying to decide between the two, and Rooster just talks smack.

[redspexxx]

i was thinking about going., can i hitch a ride? DGR.com meet-up? hells yea! why dont we have matching shirts yet?

[Glock23]

Is there on site camping? Sounds like a good time to me, maybe if I can talk my wife into coming along.

[ziggy]

played 3 years straight now..

what i can tell you

There's camping at KOA - across the street from Basil Griffin park (for am2)
http://www.koa.com/where/ky/17139/
maybe if u call them and mention disc golf - a discount? beats me.

I tend to stay at a hotel and chip in among springfield disc golf club

as for AM2 - i cant really help you except for basil griffin.
Front nine is woody and some water - need control.
Back nine is open, wide open - just winds to watch out for
if you're a 900 rated player, shud score around 50 - 54

For adv.

Hobson - Short, technical. You think you cud shoot a 44 on a good day but you end up with somewhere between 52 and 56 cuz of the friggin trees

White - Imagine golf at st. andrews - you have open fields with slight hills and plenty of o.b. for sidewalks and 1 sandpit. LOOOONG course and windy.. very little trees - if your 300 footer is dead on and ur putts are true, you will score under, if you cannot harness the 300 footer, then ur screwed

Lovers - the easiest course in town. little trees, nice manicured grass. If you dont get under here - you are screwed. Why it's in the ADV division is beyond my scope (prolly cuz of the vicinity to keriakes)

Keriakes - imo, the best course - beautiful cedar trees defining the fairways - lefthander's paradise. I think it's also the host of the longest tournament ace??? with scott stokely nailing #11 i think. not sure about that one

if any qq - holler

[Frontman311]

Are the parks gonna be jam packed the day before? And if so would we be ok if we were out there at like 8am? Tax refund this week! So I should be making all reservations extremely soon!

[ziggy]

jammed, nah.. not as insane as 5 per hole as the day of the tournament possible.

u'll have more than the usual tho

prolly 40 or so on the courses

Keep an eye out for random doubles and avoid that course/time if you want practice

last year maceman took keriakes and sunking took lovers.

Keriakes was won with a 48 and lovers took 40.

both were in the rain best shot doubles.
