Heya,

Yes we have several different kinds of shirts, so I'm not sure which one you mean.

"Eat Sleep Disc Golf"
"Disc Golf Like" (facebook goof)
"Slashing Aces" (available in short and long sleeve)

The only shirt you might have seen that we don't offer for sale is the ones the team players wear at the tournaments.

You can use scrip or cash at RIO to purchase these and the Disc Addiction hats.

Yup, we'll have them with us, not a problem!

Yes, we sell Innova, BUT we won't be selling plastic at Aquafest, I believe Guy will have the plastic selling "duty" there, and he normally has a good selection.

We'll have PLENTY of plastic for sale and to be used with script for RIO3 though.

Hello Danni ~ Looking forward to checking out your shirts at Aquafest ~ I saw in the Aquafest thread that you may be bringing a dyed disc or two for CPT's.....now that's a CTP I'd like to win. See you Saturday.

AHHH aren't you sweet... yes I'm trying to do a one of a kind "trophy style" for the CTP winner, just waiting on BA's input. I did something special for Shelton and I really liked it.

Glad you guess are liking the dyes!! www.DiscAddiction.com for some of the newest designs requested at Shelton (although I still have more of those to add, people really came up with some great ideas for dye jobs this year at Shelton)

[Yammits]

Oh and since it was mentioned to me that defending champ Jason Van Proyen felt left out of my lil wish list of top players, here's your shout out man, come try to take my title from me again

looks like I need to put Jason VP and Yammits on the same card for the first round at Aquafest tomorrow......

Jason...reigning champ of Rising Island
Yammits....reigning winner of a $600 putt at Shelton

I may add Chris Gilberts too just so the group isn't too quiet or confident.

Guess I'll have to caddy AKA chaperone tomorrow... MAN will the smack talk be loud =)

[Yammits]

Thats funny stuff BA, sounds like a good card to me though, bring it on!

[Pizzel]

Is there a current registration list posted anywhere? Thanks!

Ill have the current list up on pdga.com by monday, i have to get in touch with rideout so he can walk me through the process

[Yammits]

As promised the first upload of players is available on pdga.com, the site seems to be semi-down at the moment but I'm sure it'll be remedied soon. Good to have Rodney and Rey Rey up at Fort Nugent yesterday doing a little prep work prior to RIO (and trying to hit a huge ace pot $226, sorry boys it's still growing), As we get closer to the tourney I'll be playing Sunday doubles (noon) and Wednesday handicap league (545PM) with a few of the temp holes in place. This way if people want to get a feel for a some of the holes of the the 27 on RIO Sunday they'll have a chance in the weeks prior to grab a sneak peek. We played old 10 and old 17 yesterday and I got very nostalgic, and pissed that Rey parked 10 from 450 feet We also just added another sponsor, GoBig Paintball from Bellingham kicked in $100 dollars cash and a ten player party pack for their paintball field valued at $300. We'll figure out a good way to give that sucker away maybe it'll be the prize for my new accuracy game...getting close guys 19 days left

[Danni]

I'm thrilled to announce a change to the player's party Saturday night...

Originally the party was going to be at Bayside Casino/ Elements Bar, BUT we have a new sponsorship with FLYERS RESTAURANT AND BREWERY!! Don't worry about hurt feelings those owners are actually friends, and this was THEIR idea

So along with a nice cash donation from Flyers, they are offering a SPECIAL MEAL FOR JUST US DISC GOLFER on SATURDAY NIGHT!


Disc Golf Tournament Banquet
Saturday Night BBQ!

Sausages, Burgers, and Wild King Salmon on the Flight Deck!
Potato Salad, Pasta Salad, Corn on the Cob, and all the fixins!
12.00 inclusive

***Includes a pint of beer, well drink, soda or house wine with your bbq!***


$3.00 Pints all night! Live Music till 10:00


So join us Saturday night, after the last round, and help us say THANK YOU to this AMAZING sponsor (located just a few minutes drive from the course)

32295 State Route 20 Oak Harbor, WA 98277
(360) 675-5858

Keep in mind that you'll have to pay an additional fee to sign up after August 16th, so help a TD out and get pre-registered ASAP

We still have a little room in the yard for tents, so call Yammits to get on that list.

If you'd prefer a hotel:
http://www.acornmotorinn.com/
http://www.queenannemotel.com/
Both are super close to the course, the Acorn might be "newer/ cleaner"

We hear the excitement is building for this tournament and that tickles me to hear... I have spent many months trying to make this an event that you'll remember!

If I can help in any way, feel free to contact me, or Tim!

[Danni]

Did you hear yet?!?!?!

Elements Night Club/ Bayside Casino is sponsoring (again this year) the BOGEY RAFFLE!!

This is FREE and included for all players 21+ years-old.

WHAT is a Bogey Raffle? It's simple, for every bogey (or worse) that you score during the tournament, we will put your name on a raffle ticket... then randomly select a ticket and YOU'RE THE BIG WIENER of RIO3!!

Just a little "extra" that this great sponsor likes to toss into the mix of fun!

We got a rash of sign-ups over the weekend, so I'll spend some time tonight updating the current PDGA players list!

[Danni]

As you can see things are updating fast around here now that we are well under 2 weeks until the tournament, but I'm excited to announce a few new sponsors!!

*O'Nuts Smoked Almonds - sponsored a T-sign and will have their delicious almonds for-sale AT the tournament!

*Nancy & Jack Lorber sponsored a T-sign!

*Mando's Disc Golf in Auburn has volunteered to add some shwag to the raffle - THANKS Tom Bontempo

*Whidbey Island's very own Chris & Rachel Ruddell have made a cash donation to be used for the TROPHIES!!

Remember without GREAT sponsors, and kind donations we could never manage to have the high payouts we are known for!

*** ONLY 5 t-signs left ***

[Danni]

I want to take a second to answer a rumor that is swirling around...

OPEN PLAYERS ARE BEING PAID IN CASH!

The only time an open player would be paid in scrip is if they REQUEST to be paid in scrip to keep their amateur status.

The only thing we are doing different then the norm for Open players is EVERY PLAYER, that pre-registers, will get a players pack (and this includes the open divisions). We have wonderful sponsors this year and the sponsors paid for every item in the players packs!

I hope that clears up any confusion!

[Danni]

We're under 30 slots left!!

If you're mailing a payment, please shoot me a PM and let me know.

As a reminder the online payment will end the evening of the 16th.

Please also remember ALL sign-ups AFTER August 16th will cost you an additional $5 "late sign up fee" so save yourself a few bucks and get signed up now.

I did get a rash of online and in person sign-ups last night so I'll update the online PDGA members list tonight! A big thanks to all of you that have registered early, it really does make the TD's job a bit easier.

Can't wait to see everyone next weekend, the weather looks AMAZING here on the island!
