Please understand all times are tentative, but I try very hard to keep times as stated. I just want everyone to have an overview of the activities and the weekend’s schedule.

The gauntlet has been thrown folks!

Last years winner of RIO was the first to sign up! All hail the reigning king - Brandon Parsons

I am guessing Danni you already submitted this to the pdga but was wondering when it would be posted for viewing? I am planning to finally play this year considering I am located right across from you all. = )

Is tim back yet? Want to schedule a time to play a round up your way.

Thanks again for all your effort!

Also, is deception pass campsite about 15 minutes away from the course?

I was slacking on renewing my PDGA, but I'll do that when I get back from ASC and get it all "ordered up" from PDGA next week.

Is tim back yet? Want to schedule a time to play a round up your way.

Timmy isn't back just yet, but almost (It looks to be the middle of May right now) I'd say a GREAT time to head up would be for Doubles May 18th at Noon

Thanks again for all your effort!

Absolutely, it's all falling together now that the date is set. The sponsors have been super generous this year and we have loads of details still to post on once things get a little closer. I'm really hoping to beat the 127% payout for PRO and 147% payout for AMs from last year!

Also, is deception pass campsite about 15 minutes away from the course?

The closest camping in 1 mile from the course on the water at WindJammer Park (360) 279- 4756 *$20 a night with full hook-ups*, but yes Deception Pass is about 15- 20 minutes from the course and in the other direction is Fort Ebay State Park and is about 10-15 from the course.

Please tell me the $10,000 is somehow part of the Beersbie Challenge...

Is $10,000 for whoever drinks the most beer? I'm sponsoring a certain red headed friend then.

What no pampering package for the men? WTF? Hoping Tim may change this when he gets back.....

[Danni]

umm, nooo, BUT the trophy prize packs are pretty sick for the Beersbee winners!

You wish!!

What no pampering package for the men? WTF? Hoping Tim may change this when he gets back.....:shocked


HAHA oh no, I wear the pants for the tourney... thats the cost for him getting to play in it!

[JR Stengele]

May be a silly Q but what is the beersbee challenge? Who plays best drunk?

I've seen Kenny Clark play and I'd say he's pretty darn good

We'll have a single emanation (BYOP) style bracket.

[JR Stengele]

oooooooh I see now. I think when I played it someone called it Polish Horseshoes although I am sure that is not very PC. Thanks as always Danni!

[Danni]

Yeehaw! I guess the word is getting out early on this tourney, because I had a bunch of people get registered!

[CMC206]
