2013 Team Tournament Recap

This year’s edition of the 32nd annual team tourney began with the usual putting contest on Friday afternoon.Only 28 contestants vyed for the $300 in prize monies. Many players unaware or prefering practice time. The cagy veterans waiting till the last minute before the prelims were to close before entering. Hoping the wind would die and their prelim qualifing round would keep them sharp in the finals. But several top contenders failed to qualify ; Greg Barsby, Randy Saab and last year’s winner Kyle Eckmann who was the only player in the last 2 years to hit from all 9 stations. In the end it was San Diego’s #3 Open player Max Nichols who took home the $100 first prize outlasting Jerry Goff, Steve Rico, Steve Johnstan and Scott Miller. Max had an amazing year on tour finishing tied for 4th at the USDGC shooting a 55(1075 rated) on famed Winthrip Gold course. Saturday morning dawned with cool cloudy weather. The weather report called from torrential downpours all day and hugh winds increasing as the day progressed. Thankfully, the weatherman’s dire predictions were like political promises. More bluster than reality. There was one good downpour around 2 p.m. (round 4) that sent most players scurring for shelter. One San Diego player though, newby Mason Newstead turned it to his advantage scoring 4 straight birdies during the heaviest part of the deluge.

This event is a match play event. Pitting each player on one team against the correspondingly numbered player on another team. Each team consists of 6 open players, 3 masters (age 40+), 1 grandmaster (50+),1 senior grandmaster (60+) and 1 woman. Match play is unique and fun format in that a each hole is it’s own tournament. Low score on a hole scores a point for that player. Total score for the round is irrelevant. Only that you scored better than your opponent on more holes. Matchs are 12 holes. The course is extended to 24 holes with 6 added holes on Snyder Hill (across Jacaranda Dr.) and the organizational picnic area which we rent from the city for 2 days each year for this event. At the end of 1 full round (24 holes)each player has played 2 matches. 60 competitive holes were played on Saturday. We took one 45 minute break for lunch provided by my son’s Cali Kebab restaurant. Players enjoyed lamb, chicken kebabs, pita bread,dirty rice,falafels, humus and salad.

San Diego started off with 2 straight wins. Arizona with 2 straight losses before lunch. But the afternoon rains were the great equalizer. By the end of the day Sylmar lead the pack at 4-1 and 4 teams including San Diego, Arizona, Redwood Empire and Huntington Beach were all 3-2 at day’s end. Sunday morning dawned bright and cool. By now everyone was intimately familiar with the course and their respective opponents. The traveling tour boys on the AZ team bore down and destroyed their competition. At the end of the 7 match round robbin Arizona, San Diego and Sylmar were all tied at 5-2. Each team had 1 loss among them to the other 2. When it went to points between them Sylmar and Arizona had 12.5 each. San Diego had 11. Head to head Arizona had beaten Sylmar so they were 1st. For second it goes back to head to head and Sylmar had beaten San Diego in the prelims so they were second. Ironically, 3 years ago when faced with the same 3 team tie San Diego got into the finals and then won.

The weather was perfect for the finals. I followed the lead group of Ricky Wysocki and Dave Feldberg for Arizona and Steve Rico and Gabe Cota for Sylmar. This grouping put on a clinic for the crowd following them. Ricky in particular showed why he is the top PDGA rated player (1048) in the world shooting a scorching 14 under in his match play final round. Lead by their Hall of Fame captain Dano Ginnelly the Arizona Team’s momentum carried them to a 10-2 finish in the finals over a flagging Team Sylmar.

The free drawing before the finals saw 70 items donated from the sponsors Innova Champion, Discraft, Legacy, and Dynamic Disc given out to tourney’s participants. This year’s primary sponsor SDHydro had a booth set up all weekend. They had samples, a free drawing and custom stamped discs for all the winners. This year we went to a VHS to DVD conversion store and had all the old Team Tourney videos from 1984 thru 1992 plus a special edition from 2009 made up. We showed these all weeked on a big screen TV at Friz Central. We’ll get these archived onto the website so players can get a glimpse of our past history (and see how far our course has come).

This year Team Redwood Empire won the Spirit Award for the first time. Amidst all the storm turmoil before the 5th round on Saturday we contacted their captain (during round 4)to let him know his team was responsible for scorecards in the 5th round. He had all his players lined up and ready to pick up their cards right on time which allowed us to stay on time and finish the 5th round on Saturday. After herding cats all day trying to get the rounds off on time and running cards out to forgetful players it was refreshing to see a team take responsibility and get the job done in a timely manner. Many thanks to all the staff; Mac the assisstant TD, Team Simmons Eric and EJ, Juan Tapaz, Hans Degnar, my wife Joanne, plus my shop guys Jesse, Mitch and Tyler. Special thanks to Fireman Dave who brought us all donuts on Sunday morning.

Till the next edition of the Team Tourney… Z ya

2013 Course Championship

This year’s course championships had beautiful weather throughout. It’s a rare treat to be able to play on this course on the weekend with only other serious minded tournament players. The second round course is a special long and difficult layout only seen one time per year in this event only. Although the cause of much wailing and gnashing of teeth the players swear they love the challenge of this unusually difficult layout. The third round on Sunday morning is just the opposite with each hole in its easiest layout position allowing for lots of movement potential with a hot round.

Round one went to Team Garcia. Angel shot a -12 to lead the Open division and Shonda shot a +3 to lead the Women’s group. Round two saw scores skyrocket with only 5 players, all Open division, capable of shooting under par. Micah Dorius now 14 time course champion shot an amazing -6 for a new course record on that particular layout.  Micah’s -12 in the 3rd round and -7 in the final 9 gave him a 6 stroke victory over 2013 course champion Carlo Pelg.

In the Am division Team Maki lead after round one. Son Jonathan shot a -6 and father John a -5. Jonathan still had the lead after round 2 but faltered in the final round to a surging Kenny Summers who shot -9 in the final round to take a 3 stroke victory.

Players in the tournament received a red dry tek tourney shirt with pizza and salad lunch on Saturday. Carved wooden trophies by George Spracklen are a tradition for this event. Randy Wylot won the Grandmaster trophy for best score by a 50+ year old. Randy shot a tourney best -13 in the final round. He actually tied with Jeff Nichols but won the trophy by virtue of his better 3rd round score. Micah now 40 also won the Masters plaque for 40+ year olds.  There was one ace in the tournament. Trey McKelvey aced hole 18 in the third round.

Spring Fling 2013 Recap

This year’s Spring Fling featured 7 different Amateur categories. Four descending skill levels of men’s, one woman’s and 2 age protected divisions. This is an annual PDGA sanctioned B tier, SoCal series and DGA series event. Having 95 participants play on a closed course. This year featured two 19 hole rounds of 2 different layouts featuring several pin positions seen only for tournament play. Dutch from NP Trophy produced perhaps our best looking burl plaques ever for all the winners.

In the men’s Advanced division a north county local Travis Cutler the eventual division winner started off by throwing an ace for his very first throw of the tourney on hole 2 long. Ironically, it was the second ace thrown on that hole in that group as Patrick Paramore throwing two players ahead of him aced the hole first. Amazing. Of note, second place finisher Jason Purdue shot a magnificent  -13 down the first round garnering a 1060 player rating for his efforts.

In the women’s Advanced division Shonda Garcia held a one stroke lead over Allie Robles after the first round and her consistency and solid putting held up in round two as she eventually won by 3 strokes.

The men’s Intermediate division saw a great battle at the top as 3 players ended regulation in a tie for first at -4.  A quiet but determined Daniel Vega was the eventual sudden death victor over Chris Parker and Eddie Arinduque.

The men’s Recreational division lacked drama at the top as Derrick Dreyer crushed the field by 5 strokes but after that only 2 strokes separated next 5 players of a nine person division.

The Novice division was won by local Greg Davis who’s rarely seen as he always plays so early in the morning. Greg’s the Good Samaritan who’s always finding and turning in lost plastic on the course. He finds so many he usually plays free.

The men’s Masters division (age 40 and above) was won by daily local Doug Larhette. Doug led from the outset. Doug carried the weight of being the heavy local favorite well as he never wavered in his quest.

The men’s Grandmaster division provided another great battle for the lead as Jeff Brown beat Christian Cullen in a sudden victory playoff. Always courteous and upbeat this is Jeff Brown’s first ever and well deserved victory in Am Grandmasters.

Lunch this year was provided by a combination of salads from California Kebab and delicious carnitas and roasted chicken street tacos with beans and rice from San Diego Taco Company.

Dale Chambliss (a soon to be dad…congrats Meesh!) won the Skill Shot basket in the giant mondo (ring of fire) after lunch. After 3 players hit the shot  Dale won in a throw off where all 3 contestants went for the shot all missing by 15 feet. Dale won by 1.5 centimeters when we measured the throws.

Perfect weather greeted all the players this year for a change and the free drawing saw a record number of donated items from the various manufactures (Voodoo, DGA, Innova, Discraft, Prodigy, Legacy and  Millennium. Plus So Cal and the SD Aces donated items) given out to the participants. The tourney went off right on time every round and except for a minor pin placement screwup in the second round (holes 2 and 3 next to each other…oops sorry) everything went off without a hitch.

Thanks to all who helped out Mac, Joanne plus everyone on staff from the shop who gave up their day so all the locals could have their day. Till next year…
