Backed up an hour???? Must be a bunch of hacks playing

That stinks,

Matt comes in ready to go and has to be on the course for 5 hours, how is that fair?

Just like Snowbowl in Flagstaff. courses on ski slopes tend to be tough and the backups happen. I only made it through 14 at Snowbowl in our practice round, Dee made it through 2. Took about 4 1/2 hours for the Masters women to play with no backups, Glad I was her caddie for the week, Though the Advanced men played it three times. I would have died playing three World's rounds at 10 to 15 thousand feet elevation. Young Lungs Rule. It was like five long holes uphill, one long hole downhill, five holes uphill, one down, five up, one down, DO CADDIES PUT PLAYERS ON THEIR SHOULDERS AND CARRY THEM? Maybe I was the cart.

It's time for the big shift tonight I believe. We will start seeing a more even playing field as they play all the same courses, the same amount of times. Good golf to the Texas players. How bout that kid Nikko, GO HAIR GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is Sweby not playing?

Hey Lou,

Why is there such an unequal distribution of players with talent between the two Pro pools?

[LOU18132]

I think they tried to put at least one 1000 rated player on each card the first day, just not enough to go around. Coda and Cale are in pool B for some reason. There are many more sub 1000 rated players in Worlds. Like when we had Worlds here the advanced fields fill and lots of people play open just to get in and play. Also if you don't have a chance in advanced why not play Open just to say you played Open at Worlds. That's my take on it.

[LOU18132]

Had to look it up, but there are only 128 players in the world ranked 1000 or above. That kind of let's you know how tough it is to get that 1000 rating, and keep it. It's an elite niche of players. Kudos to them.

Been there done that, came in 2nd! .................................................. .................................................. ....

























to last place! Would have finished higher but there were several people who quit. Then there was the guy who tanked the last round to take MY last place basket away from me. What tool, I am sure he had a nice time taking that back on the plan to Canada eh?

Going down the list for the Pro division, I only count 15 players with a PDGA number lower than mine.

Do you think I can get a discount on disc with my AARP card.
