It's that time of year again.  The 4th Edition of the Random Beaver Round Up is here.  I'm planning on the Packers having a bye that entire weekend so you can concentrate on Beaver Dam deuces instead of football. 

Saturday | January 5th, 2007

Some highlights of the event:
It's doubles!
Entry fees are low. ($35 per person)
Everyone receives a player's pack.
100% of entries taken in are paid back out.
Fun, low key, relaxing event.
1 round of best shot and 1 round of modified worst shot with your partner.
1 random draw round with a separate set of prizes!

Here is a link to a printable flyer.

Here is a link to online registration.

We average about 15 to 25 teams per year so be one of them this year and participate in the Random Beaver Round Up IV

What did Eric Peterson have to say about the event last year?  "Sweet tourney as always! Ran smooth as silk."

Who is planning on attending this year?  Anybody want to carpool?

Sure

I wonder if the pads will be clear?? That is a deciding factor for me.  I definitely want to go again.

We have been 3 for 3 in terms of having pads cleared each year.  I plan to make it 4 for 4 this year.

I think a couple of us Milwaukee guys are going out there tomorrow to play a round (or two).  I plan to bring a shovel with me.

I also spoke to Jeff James and Bosko last week and Bosko said he was committed to helping them get / stay cleared.  Hopefully we don't get too much snow after this weekend but who knows.  It IS Wisconsin  

Two more teams signed up officially today.  That means I think the course is currently about 1/3 full with registrations thus far. 

I hope a bunch of people can make it.

Sweet.  If we make it to Beaver this weekend it will probably be Sunday but it looks like more snow that day.  Travel that way gets bad quickly as soon as you get out of Dane county.  We'll see I guess!

What a difference a few days can make.  Originally they were calling for rain on Saturday but instead a better forecast has come along. 

Cloudy but close to 40 degrees on Saturday.  Can you beat that for January 5th?

I have been out to the course twice in the past week and we managed to get every single short tee shoveled/de-iced/shoveled/salted but it has been an incredible amount of work and salt.  My hands are still numb from chopping away at 4 inch chunks of ice.

The bounty MIGHT be withdrawn on round 1 because we MIGHT have to play the shorts that round as well.  No matter what it looks like we'll have some decent weather and plenty of fun out there.  I'm interested to see how the scores compare to the previous 3 years when we had no snow present.

I look forward to seeing teams that are coming from Madison, Appleton, Oshkosh, and Milwaukee. 

Be on time because we have 54 holes of golf to play!

Follow Up:

It was a beautiful day at Beaver Dam with winds as mild as the weather.  It was somewhere in the mid 30's for most of the day.  We had snow on the ground for the first time in 4 years but it was melting quickly.

We had a great turnout of 21 teams which means 42 people.  That is a tad above average for this event which is great to see.

As I mentioned at the player's meeting we had a slight change from our normal format.  Typically we do best shot off the longs first round.  Pretty much every single hole is still deuce-able from the longs but they certainly can be tougher to get. 

Boscoe, Tom Jenkins, John Terlap, and myself logged over a total of 30 man hours working on those tee pads.  My arms were so sore that I could not chip away another 6 inches of ice on the remaining 5 or 6 tees and that's why we didn't use any of the longs.  Funny that if the event were just a few days later we would not have had to do those 30+ hours of work because now all of that snow is gone.

Anyway - I put together all of the  scores  for the bring your own partner portion of the event.  The random round isn't included because not everyone made good indications of who their partners were on the scorecards.  I do know that Olinger and Sahagian won with a -16 and there were 2 teams at -15 and 5 teams at -14. 

The MVP Award went to Tammy Behnke.  She was the ONLY woman to brave the conditions and to come out to represent women disc golfers.  Her and Nolan (Team Bark Busters) have competed 2 years in a row now. 

Thanks again for all of the help from my awesome onsite staff which included, Ryan Hornickel, Matt Brock, Tom Jenkins, John Terlap, Mike Schwieger, Luke Reed, and Dane Miller.  Thanks to Subway for giving us some free meal coupons as well as sponsoring a great lunch meal deal.  And thanks to all of my regular sponsors such as Innova, DGA, Discraft, and Lifetime Disc Sports.

I know a good buddy of mine, Ryan Hornickel left his blue DX eagle on hole 5.  Someone called him yesterday and said they would get it back to him.

Also, I left a tan, Star Eagle on hole 1 just left of the basket.  I'd like to get it back but it's not life and death.

Thanks for the post though!

[pointdisc]

That was me.  He mentioned your Eagle and I went out during lunch today and got, dont' know how I missed it yesterday.  I'll give you a call later (4ish).
