Just got the news this afternoon that our brother Bobby "Zephyr Man" DiBenedetto died this morning of a heart attack. I don't have any of the info on the visitation, funeral, or any of the details, but I know that many of us have been blessed to have known him, and I wanted to make sure that his disc golf family was informed. I can not go to Greenwood Park in Baker LA without thinby WillyBT - General Discussion
Sorry, but some of us really like the 666 format. It is a true test of "team golf" and not just one partner carrying the other. But ... Any pro master teams gonna make it?by WillyBT - SN Tournament Information
This is to inform all the old time Baton Rouge players (and those that played there) that one of our own passed away this past Tuesday. Cory Clark, little brother of Ryan Clark, also know as PLAG (putts like a girl), was killed in a car accident Tuesday night in Baton Rouge. It was raining, and as far as they know, he lost control and struck a telephone pole. Ryan is stationed in San Dieby WillyBT - General Discussion
I found a yellow T-Bird+ some time during the 2nd round at Lafrenare (I know I done spelt it wrong) It had no name or any marking on it. I have one that is the exact same just different color stamp. Let me know and I'll see about getting it back to you. Willy BT and Tully Birdby WillyBT - General Discussion
Couldn't do a t-shirt sponsor, so I didn't pay the $4 to register, will get you a check or cash soon Master Timm!! Willy BT & Tullyby WillyBT - General Discussion
Since I don't have the time this year to do the tee signs, Willy BT and Tully Bird would like to offer a T-Shirt Sponsor, and sign up. I'm about to go to the LSDiscs page to pre-register, and if they will take the sponsorship there, I will. If not, I'll have it for you in cash next time I head to NOTeam land. This is the 2nd weekend of Spring Break at USM so I might even get to practiceby WillyBT - General Discussion
No one has answered my e-mail - so I'm wondering if I should be making the trek from Hattiesburg, MS or not. Jon Fox has my entry fee in Memphis now, but I guess he hasn't signed me up yet. I wasn't going to be able to make it - but things change - and now since I had to wait to sign up - do I have a spot? Will check back periodically to see - or someone can call me 601-297-2668 Thanby WillyBT - General Discussion
It sure would've been nice for them to let the rest of the SN Community into their rules change way back in 2005!by WillyBT - General Discussion
Purple and Gold and Crimson Tide together?!?!?!?!?!?!? Charlie Mac and the Bear are rolling over in their graves!!!!! Maybe they are channeling the Nick Satan tie between the schools?by WillyBT - General Discussion
I was present at the discussion at lunch time, and could not find enough points to disagree with the TD's decision. What is unfortunate about this whole situation is that when the SN Handbook was printed in 2005, no one caught the fact that the SN was redefining the calendar year as June to May instead of Jan to Dec. The extremely vague working of the handbook gave the TD's no other option buby WillyBT - General Discussion

Not going to be able to make one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE tournaments!! Got prior stuff I have to get taken care of, and this is the weekend it is going to happen. Have a blast, and who will hold the lead for the points race after the first tournament of the new season. Hope MANY move up and give a new division a try again!

Jon Fox - not John Fox, although I'd love to get the extra points over him lolby WillyBT - General Discussion
I'll be in town tomorrow for the Z TOWN THROW DOWN!!! and would love to play a round with you master Dye - at the newest beast in the BR area!

Smack Down Smack Time - Is there going to be enough Pro Masters there for me to catch Jon F in points in the Pro Masters points race when I win my belt back? How's dat! Going to have my belt with me - will leave with 2. Willy BTby WillyBT - General Discussion
@#$%& I got a tough first round card. Can't wait to play with these beasts from the grave on my 43rd birthday! This will be one fun weekend! Word!by WillyBT - General Discussion
You could walk from 17 to the "new 18", play across the water, walk back to the "new 17" play back up, then walk to 18 and play the finishing hole as it has been for many years. Just a thought. WBTby WillyBT - General Discussion

In the past - to try and make it simple for all cities involved - the determining tournament was held in the city that had last hosted the LA States, and it should be a good time before the time to give the winner time to get ready. Most cities have one big 2 day tournament (W. Monroe - ORO / S-Port - Sport City Open / Lafayette - Spring Fling etc...) and you know in advance what weekend to askby WillyBT - General Discussion
People - he's to nice to say it but his name is Steve TIMM (no S). I actually get to get out of the coffee plantation - and will be pulling out in the AM. Can't wait to see all my extended family from all over SN land! Gotta defend my title!! Willy BTby WillyBT - General Discussion

Lex has lived in more places in the last year than Zinger's had jobs! DOH!!! sorry - I know that was low Z, but @#$%& it was funny in my mind when I typed it! Not sure if I'll be able to make it after all. I'm in the process of being trained to manage the Starbucks on USM's campus, and I'm having to do a 2 week course in 5-6 days. Not sure what my schedule will be from one day to the nexby WillyBT - General Discussion
I guess you should play in Advanced Negative, since you are playing Advanced at the SN Cup, and you don't have any Advanced points yet this year... I'm hoping to get there before dark on Friday. WBTby WillyBT - General Discussion
Is your own words evidence enough? "I know this... baggers have caused new players to NEVER come back to tournaments... I have seen it several times. When I say baggers I mean people that actually said "yeah, I was bagging and I should have moved up"... They give those new players a terrible outlook on what tournament play is about. So I have personally witnessed about 10 playerby WillyBT - General Discussion

What are the REAL problems with the SN Disc Golf Series? is the question that needs to be asked of the masses. Is sandbagging a "tournament series" problem or a "local club" problem? With as many tournaments that are being held, is the mileage rule being enforced or should it be changed? What about non-sanctioned events that conflict? A time frame on when you can dby WillyBT - General Discussion
The folks in Fairhope, AL. poured concrete down the pole of the basket closest to the road (and had been stolen twice I think). It makes it super sturdy, and changes the sound of the disc hitting the chains, but they couldn't hack saw it off, or move it cause it is very heavy. Pour a TON of concrete in the base so they can't just dig it up. Multiple locking mechanisms. Weld everything eby WillyBT - General Discussion
Back when I started - my payout scale was 50% to Am's (with 1st not getting over $100 no matter how many show), 40% to Advanced with 1st not going over $125, and 33% in the Pro divisions (with the plus 1 whenever possible) I also believe that 1st place should be more than one entry fee over 2nd in all pro divisions. I have paid out half an entry fee to the last place cash winners for gas moneyby WillyBT - General Discussion
We'll have a few from Hattiesburg in the house. Looking forward to some good competition on a course I've never played, and helping a good cause. See you soon Jabba. Willy BTby WillyBT - General Discussion
