Birdie Bash General Information:

Here are some frequently asked questions and answers – you can read more here: http://vibram.usetopscore.com/about#Player%20FAQs

Do I get to pick my discs? Yes and no.

  • You pick a driver or mid
  • You pick a putter
  • X-Link Medium or Firm
  • You pick the weight
  • Supplies may be limited

 

How do you know what shirt size to get me? When you register, you select your shirt size.

Do I have to use the discs I get that day? Yes! Even if you have other Vibram discs, to make it fair, you need to use these new discs.

How many divisions? Two. Men and women.

Should beginners play? Absolutely! This is a great way to get two high quality discs and enjoy a day of low pressure, high fun discing. Also, the second round groups are put together based on first round score and the winner of each group in the second round gets a bonus prize. So everyone will have a chance to win something!

How long is a Vibram Birdie Bash? It is two rounds and you will be shooting a limited number of shots per hole (usually just 2 or 3 shots). We estimate round one will take 1.5 to 2 hours, allow 1 hour for lunch and another 1.5 to 2 hours for round 2. If the event starts at 10 AM, it will probably be done around 3:00 PM or so.

Vibram Birdie Bash – $30

  • Two Rounds
  • Two Vibram discs OF YOUR CHOICE!
  • One Shirt (S-XXXL)
  • Birdies or better to earn points

 

Prizes

  • Two Champions Discs (top scoring man and woman)
  • One Spirit Award Disc
  • 2nd Round Card Prize: A VBB Sling Backpack
  • CTPs

 

Points

  • Ace/Eagle: 5 points
  • Birdie: 2 points
  • Metal Hit: 1 point
  • If no points are scored on a hole, the closest to the pin after two throws earns a point.

 

Scoring Examples:

Example 1: A par 3. Your drive hits the basket but does not go in. You drain your birdie putt. You earn three points: 1 point for the metal hit on the drive, 2 points for the birdie.

Example 2: A par 3. Your drive goes way left and lands 150 feet away. Your 2nd shot is straight but low and hits the post. You earn one point and there is no need to putt out.

Example 3: A par 4. On your fourth shot, you tickle the chains and do not go in the basket. You get zero points since the shot that hit chains was not for birdie or better. As it turns out, there was actually no need to even throw the fourth shot, except for funsies.

The New Event: Nightmare on Pine Lake

We’ve been talking about it for a while, and it didn’t make it on the roster last year. But now that Pun’s was moved up to July, we thought we could squeeze it in.

Registration Form, online registration pending…

Whether you care about Halloween or not, we are going to kick off Nightmare on Pine Lake with a transcendence into the engulfing darkness on wooded the shores of Pine Lake for a round of glow golf. If you haven’t played glow before, be prepared to wander in the pitch blackness while being stalked by the nocturnal creatures that call the course their home. We are only allowing glow discs, or use of glow tape on discs, no LED lights on discs will be allowed. Please note: If you have ‘Disc Dollars’ or ‘Punny Money’ left over from the Pun’s Labyrinth tournament, you will need to use it up, we have Glow Discs in stock if you need them. Also, we do not allow the use of flashlights during glow events. You can purchase Energizer brand Black/UV Light visor lights at Walmart in the hunting/camping section to light the discs and find your way for about $10; there are also three beam lights that have a white LED, red LED and Black Light/UV LED for around $7.00 – if you have one of these please cover the white LED with duct tape, the red light may be used to light ground while walking, you MAY NOT shine your light ahead on the course during play.

FREE CAMPING  night of Friday, October 4th – We will be providing free camping Friday night with registration. We have the same group site we did for Pun’s which is group site #3 – same rules apply, tents only. If you need a parking pass for the campsite, please let me know. Otherwise, you can check into the campsite after 3:00pm on Friday, set up your tent, and move your vehicle to the parking lot by the check in station. IF YOU NEED CAMPING SATURDAY NIGHT – I highly recommend you reserve a site NOW (call 440-564-1195), they are booking up pretty quickly as this is their Halloween Campout (they have events through the day Saturday including trick or treating). Also, don’t forget the Disc Craft Ace Race at Sims Park in Euclid is the next day, so you if you are coming into town, you can stay at the park and play both events!

NightmareShirtSaturday morning formats are yet to be determined, please stay tuned for updates.

We will be having a 50/50 raffle.

Pumpkin Carving Contest prior to glow, and Costume Contest pending for Friday night, if you are interested in participating, please indicate this on your registration form. If enough people are interested we will go forward with both, if only a few are interested we won’t do it, so your feedback is important.

Anyone who registers by September 15th will be eligible to receive a “Nightmare on Pine Lake” t-shirt. You can order additional shirts for $12.00 / each. If this goes well, we may consider doing shirts with registration for Pun’s Labyrinth next year…
