Thanks everyone for the hard work and preparation on this event. I'm not playing but I'll be there to help and I'm excited. I went to one of the event planning meetings and there is a strong core of Disc Golf Players / Supporters behind Akeem and Steve. Mickby mbanks - SN Tournament Information

OK, I saw Brandon Jones ace hole 14 @ 389'. That's the longest I've seen. Nothing but air and chains. It was crazy perfect. Two great rounds Rusty, Way to go. At least I got the one & only pro ctp twice in one round. How is that possible? You had to be there.by mbanks - General Discussion
I'll bring Tim back to S'port. Does anyone know if Eddie Dagle is coming? I have something for him.by mbanks - General Discussion
Rusty, We usually have a group or two at Ford Park every holiday. I'll pm my number. It's hard to get me to drive past Ford to go to any course but sometimes I'm a wee bit flexable. BTW, to mention my favorite alternate course layouts at Ford, there's Red, White(cement), Blue, Bluedirt/Reddirt, Special K (if you're feeling froggy) and Backwards "B".by mbanks - General Discussion
Congrats will. Love a good ace story. Thursday I saw an ace at Ford Park. It was the 3rd time I saw one there that I wasn't even playing. I saw Mark, Rusty & Luke across the way so I walked over to join them. As I waited on 9's tee to watch them play 8 cement (366' uphill), Mark threw a glo champ starfire in the basket. I was basicly standing by the basket. When the disc was about 20' away Iby mbanks - General Discussion
Great news and great pix. Keep in mind the idea of putting in object/targets like timbers. Of course we want baskets but if the permision-to-use comes before the funds, I think objects are awesome fun.by mbanks - General Discussion
Don, I have more fun playing with Melvin and Clarence. They keep my side hurting.by mbanks - General Discussion
Thanks Kev and all who helped. I had fun with the folks I played with and hanging out with everybody. Man those custom score cards were sweet.by mbanks - General Discussion
Thanks Victor. I don't know where on the course he was. He didn't mention water. He seemed to think it fell out of his bag or he left it in a basket.by mbanks - General Discussion
Hello, My friend Melvin from Shreveport lost his disc today at Lafayette. He is sick about it. It is a white Classic Roc with a red wings stamp. It has his name in the rim. If found or seen, please help. Thanks, Mickby mbanks - General Discussion
Curt, Did you get a new cell # ?by mbanks - General Discussion
It's trying to come home;-)by mbanks - General Discussion
I hope Marvin beats the sand out of your bags...by mbanks - General Discussion
SWEET Alan. Way to go. I think Big John was the first to ace that pin. I think Budda got it and seems like someone else too. It is a good blind one to get.by mbanks - General Discussion
new-man, We'll have room for you. Saturday registration is OK. We can add 9 baskets and start 150 people. We can add another park and start 300.by mbanks - General Discussion

Kev, We need to change the name from World's Biggest to World's Best Disc Golf Weekend. Man, I'm looking forward to another cookout.by mbanks - General Discussion
QuoteEddie DaigleI may just have to show up for the poker tourney to give you some of my hard earned money Don. I am sure VL would love that!!!!LMFAO Hard Earned Money??? Eddie(bagger), you must have got a job running your mouth. Can you get me on too? I want to use my natural talent. Mickby mbanks - General Discussion
Vic, That capslock thing is funny. I wish I could remember #11. Is there a distinct descript? Tell me about the disc too? I have to know. Don't be ashamed if it's a wraith on a 180' hole. I aced a 200 footer with a Sidewinder; I stood at #9 @ Ford a year ago, looked in my bag at the time and saw one disc that hadn't aced, so that's what I threw, ching... Mickby mbanks - General Discussion
Willy BT, Way to go. What # is that? Did you throw a Roc?by mbanks - General Discussion
will2003, That's awesome. Sounds like you had a great day and with a 180 Roc too. What color is the Roc? Are you going to retire it? Mickby mbanks - General Discussion
I had a great time playing the course today. Kev, I guess you guys picked up trash on hole 5. It was clean. I only played the front 9. More directions info; Haughton exit is # 33. South about 1 pitch putt to light. Left/East for about 2 miles to stop at tee. Right/East about 4 miles to Doyline. Right/South over tracks about 9 miles to SP #1 on left. Hole #1 is by the boat launch parking lot.by mbanks - General Discussion
The park is between Shreveport/Bossier and Minden several miles south of I-20. Coming from Monroe, Minden is the best exit. From Bossier on I-20, Haughton is the best exit. From either exit, go to Doyline, then south to State Park #1. I'm ready to play! I have played the orange flags several times and it is already one of my favorite courses. Thanks Kev and all the workers that walked and choby mbanks - General Discussion
Eddie, I played a course downtown Houston. I loved it. It was cool being around the high rise buldings. I walked there from our hotel next to the ballfield. I think that's Minute Maid Park. Mickby mbanks - General Discussion
Chris, You were probably on the phone when Kev said that about an ace:;-) I'm just having fun with you about your phone man. You know it's always $5 if your in that group. Kev was just spicing up the mini. Wish you would have seen it. Don't even worry about it. You come make an ace at Ford and I'll pay you. I think you were on the phone when Kev, Mike & Jamie paid me.........by mbanks - General Discussion
Quotepitchjr It's gotten to the point with me that i'm leaning on the idea of not giving away as much as I have in the past.It may upset them but hey if you want more move up. Steve, He's just a kid. He finally won. I think he beat 10 people and only won $30. That sucks by itself. I didn't look to see if the tourney was in Arkansas. I played my first tourney in novice. I was 40 years old.
