Speaking of old, Cody must have been about 12 years old the last time I cashed at the USDGC. And might not have been old enough to walk when I TD'ed my first event! But do remind me Cody that I have a lot more to do before I can say I did anything at all.]]> Bluff Magee General Discussion Sun, 07 Oct 2012 21:30:24 -0500 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?2,230556,230804#msg-230804 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?2,230556,230804#msg-230804
Innova wanted to feature what DGU leagues could provide via the Performance score (handicap) approach. They also needed to come up with an alternate divisional idea to play along with Open that would be a fair way to allow all kinds of players to participate in the event to see what the USDGC was all about AND not have to play in Open.

Discraft already had the Amateur Championship and the PDGA had the regular divisions covered at both Worlds. The Performance Edition format was the answer to meet their goals. Despite the controversy, mostly from those familiar with the Open format, it seems like the Performance Edition is coming close to meeting their goals. Now all they need is to get a little closer PE competition than they've had so far.]]> cgkdisc General Discussion Sun, 07 Oct 2012 21:24:50 -0500 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?2,230556,230803#msg-230803 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?2,230556,230803#msg-230803 Brad Wells General Discussion Sun, 07 Oct 2012 21:10:56 -0500 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?2,230556,230802#msg-230802 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?2,230556,230802#msg-230802 Bluff Magee General Discussion Sun, 07 Oct 2012 20:40:20 -0500 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?2,230556,230800#msg-230800 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?2,230556,230800#msg-230800 codyroberts18 General Discussion Sun, 07 Oct 2012 20:14:40 -0500 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?2,230556,230799#msg-230799 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?2,230556,230799#msg-230799

Now back to the scheduled programming:

The USDGC seemed like it was a great event from the coverage. The only thing I noticed that was missing was huge crowd's. Maybe the coverage just didn't show the people watching the final round, but it seemed like there just weren't many people there watching throughout the week. I hope the USDGC improves upon some of the things they have done wrong, but I think they are still the most prestigious event in the sport. They did improve the performance edition a lot from last year, and that does show they are trying.

I wonder how many Schusterick can win? Could he push Climo's 5 titles? He seemed to rise to the challenge after Wysocki canned that eagle from about 300 feet on 13. Maybe he is proving he is the best in the world.]]> codyroberts18 General Discussion Sun, 07 Oct 2012 18:24:30 -0500 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?2,230556,230796#msg-230796 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?2,230556,230796#msg-230796 Bluff Magee General Discussion Sun, 07 Oct 2012 18:14:02 -0500 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?2,230556,230795#msg-230795 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?2,230556,230795#msg-230795

That's just about as patently false a statement as I've ever seen you make. Well except for when you said "nothing more" one post later. Wow Chuck your truthiness is getting a bit squishier than usual! I guess not having anyone at the pDGA challenge your facts has made you think you can say just about anything!

On the note, the USDGC seemed like it was a success from discgolfplanet.tv side.

There was more cash added to the purse this year both in absolute numbers and on a per player basis. Entry fee in 2010 and 2012 was $225. Total purse in 2012=$50,300-$13,050 entry fees=$37,250 added. In 2010 total purse=$75,000-$41,625 entry fees=$33,375 added.

That's $180.41 added per Open player in 2010 and a whopping $642.24 added per Open player in 2012.]]> cgkdisc General Discussion Sun, 07 Oct 2012 17:34:12 -0500 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?2,230556,230792#msg-230792 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?2,230556,230792#msg-230792

this is the kind of player he is - massively talented, but usually has consistency problems, just take a look at his tournament results

however, this course plays to his advantage really well because it is fairly open and he has a cannon for an arm - keep it in bounds and make some putts and you can shoot well here and that is what he is doing

once he improves his consistency, he will be among the better players in the game]]> bazkitcase5 General Discussion Thu, 04 Oct 2012 18:46:49 -0500 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?2,230556,230690#msg-230690 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?2,230556,230690#msg-230690
At this rate he will win by over 20 strokes, and on my book that's unacceptable for PE. Guess we will see.]]> Dillon Gourley General Discussion Thu, 04 Oct 2012 18:28:59 -0500
