why it’s worth it…

Man what a fun day, thanks Ryan and Steve for throwing a super fun event! I have not had this much fun at an event in a long time.
I am playing horribly, but still having a great time. How is that possible? Everything about this event is perfect! The staff has done an AMAZING job with this event! The weather is absolutely PERFECT! Stumptown rules! Ryan rocks! Steve is the man!
I am playing horribly, but still…Damn, that’s already been said.
This has been an awesome event. Thank you to the awesomes TDs, but also thanks to all those that are giving their time to make this a great and fun AM event.
What a great Tourney! Thanks to Ryan and Steve for running this and thanks to all the volunteers who helped out!
And yes, I was the rec guy who shot -9 the first day. It was an easy course for me, short, technical just like my home course NAD. But Mike didn’t let me win easy, it was a lot of fun!
Thanks All! See ya in August!!!
I could go on and on about how awesome this weekend was. However, it is late, i am tired, and I will keep this short. Thanks to Steve and Ryan for putting on an awesome event. I had a blast in my first PDGA tourney, so thank you both (and to everyone else who made this happen). We stopped by the DQ on the way back north, and I hope to swing by By The Bottle later this week. Gotta support the sponsors! Thanks, guys!
Favourite Memory:
We were given a $20 gift certificate to an outdoor sports store to give away however we felt like. The tournament had three in the MJ2 division. MJ2 is 12 year old and younger “Junior”. Of the three in that division two were older than 10 and one tiny little guy was only 8 years old, his name is Easten. Easten played the ENTIRE tournament, shooting from the same teepads and everything just like everyone else in the tournament. After the first round, he was about 30 strokes behind the other two kids in his division. His second round he improved his score by 17 strokes (that’s huge, folks!) but he still had no chance of catching up to the older, more skilled boys. The other thing is that if there are three people in a division, only the top two place “in the cash”, so Easten was the only MJ2 not going to get stuff. Move back real quick to the gift certificate that I got to choose how to give away…
At the awards ceremony, before I started handing out the trophies I announce, “We’re going to give away the award for most improved from round one to round two (which I made up about 10 minutes prior)….Easten H**d, come on up here!” The crowd roared, the little guy was beaming with happiness and probably a little nervous/embarassed from all the shouts, etc when we walked up to the front of the crowd to receive his award. The gift certificate was for the EXACT amount as second place received in his division.
AWESOME!
