'1st Annual WDGA Championships' Host Hotel.
I researched several hotels in the
general area of Redan Disc Golf Park
and this one is the best for quality and price.
The online feedback from previous guests
suggest a clean and comfortable stay.
It is around 15 minutes to Redan from this
hotel. We will have a special "WDGA"
rate per night. Rooms are regularly
$90-$120 per night. If you reserve
early, under the "WDGA" code, the
price is $75 per night (plus tax)
for October 27th, 28th, 29th, 2006.
I stress, "Reserve before October 10th"
to receive this rate. I hope to see you
all there. :D

There really isn't any need to spam every thread on the forum with the same information. I'm pretty confident when I say all the women eagerly devour each new post over here on the women's forum. So if you post something just once I'm POSITIVE it'll be seen by everyone. Save yourself some time. Don't worry about hitting each topic with the same info. Once really is enough over here.

Hey Judy,

Happy to hear from you. We had a great time playing the Mississippi courses
with you and Jeff. They were so beautiful. Especially Lake Loudes.
We haven't been back yet, but would love to do it again.

Are you gonna play our tournament in October? I sure hope so. I would love
to see you again.

Take care,

Cheryl~

LOL. I don't think she read that Judy. :o) It's true though Cheryl. I was about to post but saw Judy beat me to it. Too much isn't always a good thing. To post your event to a thread that was last year's news was a bit much, imo. (Leslie's thread)

We do appreciate your dedication to your event and women golfers though! :o)

~A

Sorry Addie and Judy,

I didn't intend to spam your board. I guess I am spamming
my own board too cuz I have posted to atleast 7 threads.
Ooop's. I better clean that up.
It's just that I am so eager about this tournament. I didn't
want anyone to miss my announcement. Forgive me?

We have been invited to make it a SN tournament.
I hope you all will come out.

If I know anything about Cheryl it's that she hears what she wants and ignores the rest. If her organizational skills from the WDGA website spill over into this tournament, I can only imagine the disastrous results! Thanks, but no thanks. And please don't spam our site.

By the way, this is NOT RJ! This is Ashley. I forgot to log him out and log myself in... Sorry!

Thank you so much---for the support, Ashley. I am only
trying to help connect women disc golfers in order
to raise the tournaments' numbers.
If you don't want to play the WDGA tournament, that
is fine. However, it is immature to bad-mouth me
on this message board, especially after I made the
WDGA tournament a Southern National event to help
your cause.

Hi Addie.
Great! Will you all be staying in the host hotel?
I stayed there during Hotlanta. It is nice and quiet.
Close to Walmart, convenient stores and many restaurants.

Not sure where I'll be staying. Probably the host hotel.

Not familiar with Springfield...why? Do they need a course?? (Stupid question! EVERY city needs a course!!) LOL

~A

My brother-in-law is a casual disc golfer. He just started playing this year.
He lives in Springfield Ala. He was in a bad car crash and is in UAB hospital.
Just wondering if anyone knows him. I am not sure which course he plays.
His name is Barry Eldridge.

~A

Leslie already married? I thought they were getting married in October. Congratulations Leslie & Zack!!!

Right...Leslie is getting married Oct. 14th and this event is after that. :o)

~A

PS--- OHHHH I see now how you were reading that. :o) I was listing the ones i was gonna see about but then I ended with a "?". Sorry! :o)

Hi Addie,
He lives 30 minutes outside of Birmingham. We are leaving
tomorrow, heading there to visit him at UAB. Thank you for
the well wishes. My husband, Mike, is beside himself with worry.
Barry is his younger brother. I think he will recover fine.
We are praying.
It's a fine thing your mom did,- donating one of her
kidneys to a friend. She is a very special lady.
I wish her the best too.

Hi Lisa,
I have had that question asked before. We are not sure
if he is related to us. Most of the Eldridge's come out
of Kentucky. But...maybe.
Thanks for the well wishes.

I don't know if we have met online, but I hope
you will check out the WDGA. Our website is listed
below in my sig.

Hi. I sure hope you can come out. You know Erin from the
WDGA board is coming for sure.
Let me know.

Hey Everyone,
I am back home from Alabama. Barry is recovering well.
We had a nice visit. We stopped by GeorgeWard Park in
Birmingham for about 2 hours on Sunday. We met Tom Monroe
there. I asked him to give out some WDGA flyers. Nice guy.

I hope I can get the chance to come, still waiting on my schedule from school. This will be a great time, so I hope your all trying as hard as I am to make it to this a great event. Cheryl, you are doing a great job, Keep it UP!~

Michelle

Hey Michelle,
Thank you.
Well I sure hope you can work it out. School is most important tho.
More important than disc golf anyday. Is Janice still coming
for sure? She seemed so excited about it. I want to get
more names on the PDGA pre-reg page. It looks better
on us as a group to have more signed up. Can you ask
her to call me? Thanks. Please stay in touch.
I hope you two get to make it. We are having
doubles on friday as well as dinner out for the
ladies. On Sunday, a basket toss. And you will
earn SN points, right??
