Let's reiterate a couple things:

There are no Saturday signups this year. Paypal will be accepted until 11:59 PM Friday night, or you can pay on Friday at Lafreniere Park. You can also pay at City Park all week long, ask for Joe Burback of Aboriginal Discs. Joe will also accept credit cards over the phone (add 4% though which is $36.40 for ams & $57.20 for pros). Click here for the phone number----> [aboriginaldiscs.com]

Bring-your-partner Doubles is 3 PM Friday. 24 holes at Lafreniere Park. Best Shot, one round. $20 pro teams, $12 for am teams.

Don't forget about the Vibram Open qualifying spots! For those in the Open, Pro Ladies, Pro Masters, Pro Grandmasters, and Advanced divisions, you can earn a spot to the 2013 Vibram Open, the biggest NT of the year! Just add $10 to your entry fee for a chance to earn one of two coveted spots. So far only 3 players have opted in for the 2 spots: Ricky Martin, Jeff St. Romain, and Mike Kernan. I've played the VO three times now and I can vouch that it is worth the trip...it's like the Pot of Gold with a better course!

NO Team continued the Pot of Gold tradition of donating to a better cause yesterday by planting 7 live oak trees at Lafreniere Park...

Tree kinda looks like Marvin- skinny, bare main branches, leafy except on the top.

We planted about half of those trees in the background, and just look at them now! All grown up.

Just heard from the Pot of Gold Musical Director Darren "Double D" Decours!

Here's the scheduled line up for the musical entertainment for the Pot of Gold:

11:00 Hurricane Refugees
12:00 The Tarantinos
1:00 Chapel Blues
3:00 Phil Wertz
4:00 April Dawn Band
5:00-7:30 Pigeon Town (awards ceremony is part of the show)

Yes, the bands will be playing during the rounds at Lafreniere. Enjoy!

More good news, thanks to TEAM CRAFTY everyone who plays the doubles on Friday will receive a TEAM CRAFTY re-usable scorecard with the 2013 Pot of Gold logo on it!





Yes this includes the pencil and the colored zip-loc bag too! BOOoooOOM it's epic LOL :)

call me what you will .out of those 5 I only stand a chance against you and willy t. Doug is gona spank yall.I see about 4 am masters that could easily play against us. Can't wait to turn 50 because those guys have a huge field these days.

BMB

"Can't wait to turn 50 because those guys have a huge field these days."

Then you just have a bunch of 50-60 yr olds kicking you around.

Here's a thought. Tell yourself that on any given day that you can beat
anybody and go do it. Your unfortunate attitude hinders progress in the
land of AFL.

Well thanks for the words of wisdom Dean.And yes, if I wouldn't have beat you at the howler I would be A F L

I'll save you a spot at the SNAC BB.

My point exactly. YOU beat me and I almost threw my bag in the lake and quit forever.
But that's how good (or bad) I was that day. That just helped my resolve to practice
more and to be more consistent no matter what. The first year I played the Howler
I beat you by 20 and I remember you said I'm never going to play pro again, but you
did and look what happened. Go play in the bigs and learn.

Tonight's registration update is brought to us by WALKER'S BBQ, home of the Cochon De Lait Poboy!!!



MMMMMMM MMMMMMM now that is a culinary masterpiece I tell ya! Yes, that is the Cochon De Lait that is being served at the Pot of Gold lunch buffet extravaganza that is free to all players!

You can enjoy your favorite New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival Poboy year 'round, even when it's not festival time! We can't wait to see you at Walker's BBQ in New Orleans East. Walker's Southern Style BBQ is located at 10828 Hayne Blvd. New Orleans, LA 70127.

I plan on coming, just won't be able to pay til day of. Can you put me down?
P.Tait

Better find a way Tait. The answer captain Kernan gave me was, " we like to keep our field to players capable of paying on time."

Detroit is correct. No one and I mean no one will be allowed to sign up or pay on Saturday this year. We are not capping the field but you will be bitterly disappointed if you make the mistake of not pre-registering.


There are no Saturday signups this year. Paypal will be accepted until 11:59 PM Friday night, or you can pay on Friday at Lafreniere Park.

Paypaled at 11:15 3-13-13 william pacatte - GM ..... luck of the Irish to you all!!!

Tait, you gonna make it?
Let me know cause I got something for you if you are gonna be there

I can pay for you Philip. Just make sure you show up!

Also I will have the new 2013 MADGA bag tags at the Pot of Gold if anyone would like one. They are black& gold for all you Saints fans. They cost $15 & they are a bartenders style bottle opener for all you beer drinking Saints fans.

Please make sure they visit the Pro pool!!! I much prefer Hooters' wings fed to me by Hooters' girls. What flavor? Who cares!

To get to City Park from either direction, take I-10 to I-610, then exit at Canal Blvd and head south, go under the railroad, then turn left at the first light (Navarre). Stay on that road until it ends, then turn left onto Marconi. Follow Marconi under the railroad tracks again and turn right immediately after that onto Zachary Taylor Drive. Then take your first right, Henry Thomas Drive, which will bring you under the railroad tracks again, then the course is on your right. Parking is kinda tight, if you can't park by hole 1 or 11 try parking behind Hole 2 or along Holes 8-10.

To get to Lafreniere Park from either direction, take I-10 to exit 225, Veterans Blvd. Take a left at the light, then go about 1/4 mile to a left at Downs Blvd. which takes you into the park. Take your first left in the park and go about 1/4 mile past the dog park to Shelter 2 which will be on the right.



GPS coordinates for the courses:


Lafreniere Park 30.001400,-90.209602

City Park 29.992082,-90.094371

Phil T got signed up by some nice lady on paypal this morning. As far as the Hooters girls, they are scheduled to appear from 12:15-2:15 at Lafreniere Park Shelter 2 which is where lunch is being served for both pools. We scheduled Pool A & B so that hopefully everyone will all be at lunch around the same time, and we plan on drawing the winners of the raffle early at lunch so that hopefully every raffle winner will immediately receive their prize and we don't have to track the winners down like last year.
