..I'm glad to see that you moved up after that last blistering round at Tyler.

...hopefully I can compete well a HR and then try to hang on at FEW.

the Pittsburgh Flying Disc Open is in August. I played last year and I love the courses. They also ran things veerryy nicely from the TD standpoint. Im thinking of making the trip again this year. Maybe ill see you there Karl.

Ya let me know man, if you are going I will try and get up there. I ran the idea by my wife and she did not seem to keen on it. We will only have been in WV for like three weeks. But I may be able to talk her into it!

GPO is shaping up to be a great event! Looking forward to Solt's newest creation!
With people coming from all over the country, it is bound to be a great time!

Hope to see you there
