Mohaynow Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 So Roger (Mr S) and myself stopped at Pier Park in Portland today and shot 18 holes on our way to the meeting at Roy's. During our game I began to think of my previous days of playing and how much fun I had participating in friendly tournaments. Then like a bolt of lightning out of the sky, a great idea hit me. How about we (the fine folks of PNWMAS) have a charity tournament with all the procedes going to the tanks for theachers program. For those of you that are un familiar with disc golf, it is a great low impact sport that is extremely un-expensive to get into and virtually free to play. The only time I have ever had to pay was when the course was in a state park and a day pass is necessary to visit. Its also a lot of fun, because the game, in its simplest form, consists of taking a walk through a park throwing a disc at a basket. So, anyone interested in joining in on something like this show some love and let me know. See how much fun Roger is having! And see how awesome the discs are!

Emerald525 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 sounds like a great idea Josh. I would definitely be in. I have never played and have no clue how to play but I can throw a frisbee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mohaynow Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Ok, cool. Glad there is some interest. I will try my best to organize the event. I was thinking something like a $10 buy in (which would go to tft) and asking some sponsors to donate prizes for winners. Various contests like longest put and closest to pin are always fun to throw in the mix. The biggest challenge with this event, I think, would be choosing a park that is both central to most people who would like to participate and not too difficult for those who have limited disc golf experience. I was also thinking that mid july would be a good time for this. I am really excited about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algae Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Finally, a sport where you can drink beer and smoke cigarettes, at the same time and be a viable contender. I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I'd be in for that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Shotgun golf is better!!!!!!!! That would be AWESOME!! But also scary as I haven't played in 2 years. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohaynow Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Well, for those of you who are new or havent played for a while, grab a disc and head out to the park, you couldnt ask for a much nicer day. If you don't have any discs I know that play it again sports sells used ones for around $10 and deke and brians does the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.R Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Depending on when and where I might be interested. I hav'nt played in probably 10 years, but I still have a disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael7979 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 That weekend in July is SEA-MAX and I know alot of members are going. Might want to consider another weekend. As for a location is there anything worthy in the Canby area?, somewhat centralized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohaynow Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Good call Mike, I wasn't planning on going to sea max so I didn't even think about that. How bout the next weekend, the 31st? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Maybe this will help. http://www.oregondiscgolf.com/ or this..... http://www.dgcoursereview.com/browse.php?partner=&cname=&country=1&city=&state=43&zip_distance=&zipcode=&holes=18&num_reviews=&rating_min=&rating_max=&yem=&yex=&cndtn=&teetype=0&holetype=0&mtees=&mpins=&terrain%5B%5D=1&terrain%5B%5D=2&terrain%5B%5D=3&coursetype%5B%5D=1&coursetype%5B%5D=2&landscape%5B%5D=1&landscape%5B%5D=2&landscape%5B%5D=3&private=1&paytoplay=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.R Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 One of my favorites was Timber right outside of Estacada. 18 hole par 3 if I remember correctly, and they had some picnic areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mohaynow Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Ok, I think Champoeg state park would be a good course, its somewhat central, not too difficult of a course, and they have some nice big picnic areas that can be used for bbq's and whatnot.

reef165 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Did you check the site that was posted for other tournaments being done and Ware they are? Also could you post the PNW tournament on the Oregon disc golf website and maybe get others to come and it would also promote the site and saltwater hobby in general.

Mohaynow Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 I checked the callendar at nwdiscgolfnews.com and there isnt anything listed that day. I will post something up on their forum as well to let people know. I'm not too sure just how interested they will be in competing in a very amature tournament that is being played for prizes from sponsors on a marine aquarium site though. But it will be good to get the word out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
