January Morley Monthly

,

The January monthly was the first monthly since October 2011. What with the Course Championship in November and the Team Tournament in December we’re finally getting back to normal .We ran our first “Mondo” ( CTP contest at the practice basket) of the new year during the lunch break. We had 20 players vying for hooded sweatshirts from Discraft and monthly passes for daily play at Morley.  The first round was won by Garrett L (month pass) who sank the putt as did Chris (Switch). They then played off and both made it again. Played off again and Garrett made it while Switch splashed through. Wow! Round 2 was won by Puc K. (XL sweat). The third round was won by Switch (M sweat).  Congratulations to all for a job well done. Advanced-10

2011 Southwestern Team Disc Golf Invitational

This year we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Team Tourney here in SD. It’s really our 31st as we didn’t have a perpetual trophy the first year (1981) but there are now 30 names of winners on the perpetual trophy so we’ll call it the 30th. Not playing this year due to shoulder surgery last summer allowed me to focus on just being tourney director. As such it was maybe the most fun Team Tourney I can remember. We made a big deal out of the “Spirit of the Event” award this year . Shane Dehner of Voodoo Golf Discs donated 12 high end custom golf bags to the team winning the spirit award. To that we added a 4 pack of Green Flash Brewery’s finest, and $100 worth of donated plastic from the disc sponsors Innova Champion, DGA, Discraft and Legacy Discs. Retail value over $250 per player.Considering 1st place is $250 cash per player plus some plastic the Spirit Award was a huge bonus. Rocky Mountain was invited this year and the team collapsed the final week before arriving here so for the 3rd year in the last 4 a second San Diego team was cobbled together at the last minute. All the team’s names are displayed on different color poster boards. Since Rocky Mountains names were displayed on a pink board they adopted the color to show their team spirit. All the team players either wore pink hats, pink socks or had pink tassles hanging from their hair. It was hilarious. They also howled whenever they won a point (not much howling). It made for a difficult decision for the staff to pick a clear winner for the Spirit Award. But Santa Cruz eventually prevailed. They were led by the reigning world champion Nate Doss and former world champion Avery Jenkins. They do such a good job corralling their team mates for pre tourney calisthenics and team cheers, all done in a group circle.  Also they all have matching team shirts they supply themselves. They do everything as a team unit.  We ran a new event this year right after lunch on Saturday. Our new logo is a picture of an ace occurring on the mound hole at 15. All the #1 players from each team were invited to throw 2 throws for a $100 prize if they could hit the ace. Nate’s team all roared and cheered when he was introduced as the Great Nate. And Nate didn’t disappoint. He threw a perfect line drive with a putter right at the basket only to dip below at the last second just as it got there.  But his team howled and roared their support for his awesome effort. For the first time in several years we had a great lunch for the players. . My son Alex co-owns California Kebab Restaurant and catered the event.  The response from the players was overwhelmingly positive. There was plenty of chicken, lamb, pita bread, hummus, several salads and several kinds of sauce to put on it. It made for a delicious feast.

Another first at this event, San Diego’s disc golf team was nearly out of contention by the end of day 1.  There were 3 teams ahead of San Diego with 4-1 records when the dust settled Saturday night.. San Diego was tied with Arizona at 3-2. Sunday morning pits all the top seeded teams against each other. So at that point San Diego still had control of their own fate. Arizona stepped up to the plate and won both of their matches Sunday giving them a 5-2 record.  Having beaten head to head the other 2 teams finishing at 5-2 they moved onto the finals against 6-1 Huntington Beach.  San Diego went out with a whimper losing both Sunday matches to end in a (3-4) tie with Sylmar who beat them head to head so they fell to an inglorious 6th place.  So much for home court advantage. Truth be told most of the teams playing have many repeat players and the teams have finally reached parity having played here so much. Many matches come down to just 1 or two putts between a team winning or losing. I think the positive influence of team camaraderie makes the team stronger  than the some of the individual parts.  I didn’t see or hear much swagger or trash talk this year. There were no fights or any other altercations as everyone wanted to win the Spirit Award. There seemed to be more smiles on faces and laughter in the air. It seemed like everyone was on their warm and fuzzy best behavior this weekend and it seemed their positive attitudes paid them dividends.

I can’t remember ever in the past so many players coming up afterward and thanking staff and telling us this is their very favorite tourney of the year. Even a number of tour guys stopped by to encourage us to never stop running this event as they always look forward to coming to Morley Field every December.

I’ve always felt the good karma this event creates in the Disc World makes losing a weekend’s revenues seem like a minor inconvenience. This year that was especially true.

Finally, I’d like to thank our new sponsors this year; Voodoo Disc Golf (Shane and Niki Dehner), Legacy Discs(Steve and Bamba Rico), Green Flash Brewery(Chuck Silva), and California Kebab Restaurant(Alex Pierson). Also thanks to our continuing sponsors Hamiliton’s Tavern, North Park Trophy, Innova Champion Discs, DGA,  and Discraft Discs.

Staff was awesome as always. Mac on scorecards, Eric and EJ Simmons doing all the heavy lifting, Daniel Vega and Oscar Garcia, and Chris Cullen were spotters. All my guys in the shop had a hand in tourney prep work…big thanks to all of you.

Till next year…

2011 Morley Field Disc Golf Course Championships

Micah Dorius won his 13th course championship in the last 14 years with  a very impressive -34 for 3 and a half rounds. Micah shot a -12 on the first course a -3 on the long rain soaked second course and a -13 on the short final course. The final nine saw some drama as the top 3 finishers automatically make the San Diego team for the upcoming team tourney.  2009 course champion Chris Villmorin (-23 4th place) made a run at Luke Christensen(-24,3rd) in the final 9 tying him with three holes to go only to have his putt on the final hole catch a tree blocking his route to the pin. After shooting a tourney low -14 in the 3rd round Chris had to settle for 4thplace.  Chris will be first seed in the match play grinder set for next Saturday November 19th at 9 a.m. at Morley Field. Carlo Pelg (-29) finished 2nd as he has nearly every year since Micah began his run as course king.

The amateur category saw a very talented young north county man Nick Newton (James) (-13) shoot 3 very solid under par rounds to win by a comfortable margin of 3 strokes over local Mike Tyberg(-10) who was the only other am to shoot under par each round. Mike also had the only hole in one in the tourney. He aced  hole 13 in the long position in round 2.

The conditions on Saturday started off  poor and got worse from there. The rain was torrential and unrelenting for the entire second round. This was the long private course that only competitors in the course championships ever get to see and play. Some groups were still straggling in at 4 p.m. having teed off at noon. Of the 21 open and 43 amateurs who started the event 10 were unable to complete the event for whatever reason. But Jesse Myers who understandably finished DFL played the entire 3 rounds on crutches. He often knelt down in the water for  tee offs. He was given a hat and shammy towel as an “Ironman” award for his efforts.

We had 5 women play this year and Emily Costanza (formerly Hardy) was the winner (+9) . Emily shot a very respectable -4 in the 3rd round. Second place went to up and coming Amber Ivy(+32) who fought her way back to second having fallen to 4th after the long second round in the rain. Amber also had marvelous third round shooting a +1.

I’d like to thank my great staff of Jim McDowell, Eric and EJ Simmons and all the guys in the shop who helped out. Big George created beautiful hand carved trophies for The Am’s and Open. Will Phillips helped with the certificates for the Women, Open Masters (Jeff Nichols -10), and Open Grandmasters (Glenn Triemstra -2).
