That's what it said in that manual. All the open players at BV today, all at Swope tomorrow.

Ron played Blue Valley today and killed it! Showing once again that he is one the best players in the world.

Eric is in good position to make a move the final round.

I had 4 SH!TTY up-shot in a row, or I could be in a tie for 10th.

On the bright side. I nailed hole 8 (shortest hole on the course) at WW yesterday. Wouldn't you know it, no ACE fund.

Here is the amazing thing about the hot scores at BV. Hole 7 which was a bomb last year (600 feet?) is now longer and more left and up a hill. It plays atleast 1 or 2 strokes harder. On the flip side, hole 9. Now has a secret short cut that was causing a hell of a back-up. It is now an easy 4 or a good 3 vs. a good 4 or easy 5. I talked to Ron, and he did take the short cut.

There was next to no wind at Rosedale yesterday, had a couple of issues with spotters paying no attention though...

Today went fairly well, moved up 1 spot after yesterday's second round, and looks like I moved up another 4 with a 60 in the second round today at Swope.

I liked Swope, but it's awfully tight and I heard alot of people yelling fore when drives were just a bit off....

Hoping to keep moving up tommorow after Waterworks, should be interesting since the course sounds tough and I've never seen it before.

Does anyone know how deep PDGA, or I guess how deep KCWO usually pays out in am divisions? I'm trying to just keep in mind how much I need to move up, or if I do to place at this tournament...

Don't worrya bout it, just try to shoot the best you can. The rest will take care of itself.

There's definitely something to be said for that, I like to at least have some sort of goal to go for though most of the time..

Nice finish Eric!

How about that 47 in the final round for the winner? 1080 rated round.

Climo made the cash. What happened to Barry??

Barry said he hurt his shoulder after 4 or 5 holes in the final round...he walked with the group but chose to stop playing...

I ended up moving up to 15th with a 59 at waterworks, so I'm pretty damn happy about the finish...

Wow. He could have thrown flicks the rest of the round and still cashed, got his points, etc. Doesn't look good, but I'm sure it sucked a lot worse for him than the Barry fans.

Barry's arm was hurt, on his second throw on hole 3 he went down in pain.

WAY TO GO LIZ! 47 strokes??!! that's awesome!! Also, nice 57 at Water Works....which is also what Climo shot the first round!

no shortcut on 9 next year.now you see why I wanted to play blue valley twice!the lunches were terrible!that is supposed to be fixed also!I want to brag a little ....I got Jack Lowes(?)100.00 bounty!I told him I`d shoot 59 last year after carding a 61.If I hadn`t messed up #`s 15, 17,and 18 I could have shot 3 strokes better!

all because I was to broke to sign up for open!

got the pleasure of watching both liz and eric play some golf today...look out for liz, shes going to be something special. I had to come straight back to Emporia tonight and get some practice in so she won't whoop my butt next time we play...as for Eric, couldn't have been more impressed with the maturity and composure shown after a rough start. I understand more everyday why hes one of the best. A shout out must also go out to Ron Convers (the fine wine, who only gets better with age) Though I didn't get to see him play, I understand how SICK a 59 is at Blue Valley.

Ron, Eric, and Liz are for sure all Studs!

I was actually rolling along pretty good at "Swope Bronze" when the train wreck started. O.B. 5 when O.B. wasn't in play. O.B. 5 again on the next hole, when O.B. wasn't in play yet again.

Would have loved to play this tourney. Did not have the funds. Have not played some of those courses like Blue Valley. And the year I did get to play the wide open, am's did not play Water Works! I am going through KC this weekend and will either play WW or BV, depending on if I have two hours or three. Congrats to all the KDGA memvers who played! You all did very well!

Do NOT play BV by yourself.
