FIRST TEE ~ it This begins our fourth year of publishing Disc Golf World News and

we're happy to report that more players, in more places, are reading us now than ever before. Yes, we're growing and we appreciate the ongoing support of our subscribers. We will continue to do our best to provide you with the most comprehensive and detailed examination of the world of disc golf.

It's not written anywhere, but like devout Moslems who make the required trip to Mecca, so must dedicated Frisbee players visit the greater Los Angeles area. After all, this is where it all began. It was around 1950 at the Pomona Fair (the county fair of Los Angeles) where the Frisbee's inventor Fred Morrison and a comrade hawked his original "Flyin' Saucer" by playing catch with the disc across an "invisible wire". The disc was free but the 100 foot wire cost a penny a foot.

The Wham-0 Company was born and still is in San Gabriel. It purchased the rights to Morrison's invention and began selling these flying saucers in 1957. The trademark Frisbee was added in 1959. The initial thrust towards the establishment of flying disc sports occurred at Wham-0 in the early 1960s when vice-president and general manager Ed Headrick envisioned Frisbee as a sport. To a large extent, he made it happen by developing and introducing the much more stable Professional Model with its famous flight rings, the Lines of Headrick. Soon after that, he formed the International Frisbee Association and organized the first Masters Tournament at the Rose Bowl. This event would become the World Frisbee Championships in 1974 and then evolve into today's U.S. Open Flying Disc Championships, the world's largest, richest and most famous flying disc competition. [History culled from Frisbee by Dr. Stancil Johnson, Workman Publishing, © 1975.]

Modem disc golf got its boost in Southern California also. The first pole course was installed at Oak Grove in 197 4 which were upgraded in 1976 with the newly patented pole holes. Headrick, the pole hole's creator, was no longer with Wham-0, but was still in the L.A area at the time, as was Jan Sobel, who developed the revolutionacy Puppy and Super Puppy around 1982. And of course, the modem era of disc golf was ushered in when the Champion Eagle Gater Aero) first landed in the Sunshine State in 1983. The flJ'st PDGA World Championships were held here in 1982.

In February, I made my first trip to the Frisbee holy land and traveled to · many of the shrines. At Wham-0, I visited the most influential person in

disc sports today. Dan Roddick, who heads the sports promotion department . My visit to the lnnova-Champion factory taught me that its more fun to fly discs than to make them. The molding machine reminded me of a large mechanical chicken that plopped a disc out every minute. Injection molds are not very glamourous items. I also played the famous courses at Huntington Beach, La Mirada, Oak Grove, and Sylmar and fmally, I competed, albeit too briefly in one of the game's oldest tournaments, the 12th Bud Light Wintertime Open. Anyway, we are looking forward to another visit in June to compete in and report on the U. S. Open.

oar:=::l£a~~~~a~aaa~a~~a'!a!!a~o~::=:=tooo Dear Rick and Lynne, .

The two of you continue to turn out the best disc sports magazine in the country. I'm sending you a check for another year of DGWN, plus rm giving a subscription to your "zine" as as holiday gift for a friend in San Diego. Keep up the quality coverage. I probably won't see you until the Laurel Springs Open.

Dear Rick and Lynne,

Mark Kaplan Philadelphia (Chain Gang), PA

Enclosed is a check for three subscriptions--two for our Ice Bowl champions and a renewal for our Park Manger, Ernie Marshall. The face lift at the Warriors Path Course continues. We have closed four holes for re-seeding and have opened four replacements that will be part of our new expanded 27-hole coniigUration. We have our first corporate sponsor for a tee sign and pole hole and a pledge for two more. The park's PDGA event is in July and Mr. Marshall has indicated that there would be even more grooming of the course. Last year's conditions were perfect, so I can't imagine how they can do more. I don't know that the subscription helped, but the park staff is much more aware of our sport and its wide variety of devotees. DGWN offers much more than the narrow approach of the PDGA newsletter and should be on the desks of all park managers overseeing disc golf courses. Eleven dollars is dirt cheap. So come on folks, how about a subscription for the most important person at your course?

Rick & Lynne,

John Whinery Fall Branch, TN

Hi. As a believer in you from the beginning, I am subscribing for another two years. Thanks for DGWN in 1989 and may the game's eventual destination become even more of a reality in the 1990s. Tell Jim Markov that I'll still take my roller ace over his three tournament aces. Roll on!

Dear Rick & Lynne,

Bob Lewann Hammond, IN

I just received my first issue ofDGWN. Your mag is great. Keep up the good work.

I'm originally from St. Louis, where I fli'St hit the chains at Hazelwood Civic Center. That was in 1984 and I was still using a 165 Wham-0. I moved to Ft. Lauderdale in 1985 and lost interest in the sport due to no courses and no players--a problem being worked on at this time. Anyway, last year I moved to Tampa and found many disc golfers and many new friends. You will all have to watch out for the Florida boys, like the World Doubles Champions Ken Climo and C. R. Willey, two of my good friends, who have been teaching me the ropes (chains) of the game since I moved

6 Disc ~· Wortd Newt • Spring 1990

here. I've been in a few tournaments and have brought home trophies. I plan on turning pro very soon.

I'm planning on going to St. Louis for the 4th of July and will be at the Mid-America Open on the 14th and 15th. I hope to meet you there. There will probably be a couple of surprise entrants. Hopefully, we will do all right.

Nick Sartori (Zimbobway Land)Tampa, FL

Dear Rick and Lynne,

This certainly has been an exciting year for disc golf in central Oklaho-• ma. The treacherous and legendary back rune at Northeast Lions Park has

been planted permanently, thanks to the efforts of many, many people. The Mach III pole holes were paid for entirely by fundraising efforts of the Okla­homa Disc Golf Association. We've now set our sights on another local park and are working with the city of Norman on this project. Also, Okla­homa City has been selected to host a Super Tour event in September. Well, take care and we look forward to seeing you at the Norman Pro-Am in May.

Kent "Dad" Johnson Norman, OK

Dear Rick and Lynne,

I have enclosed a check for a year of DGWN. Thanks again for such a great publication and all your hard work. We in South Carolina are getting excit­ed about our new course "to be" in Columbia. Harold Duvall is making things happen in this "behind the times" state. Good things take time, but are worth waiting for. fd better close for now and get this in the mail. We're pretty much caught up on our "Hugo" repairs and can now move on to greater endeavors--like disc golf.

Tim Hogg Charleston, SC

Dear Lynne and Rick,

I received my Winter '89 issue of DGWN today and of course couldn't do another thing until I read it from cover to cover. Enclosed is a check to keep my sub intact though it doesn't expire for awhile. I just want to know that my

, future will be guaranteed with days of disc golf marathon reading sessions. Though I thoroughly enjoyed reading about 1989, I was a little disappoint­

ed to be left out of the tournaments won list. I was actually right there with , my two disc golf mentors Patti and Lynne with four wins: Fort Fall 54, Mad

Bert, Ohio Valley, and Edgewood Electric. Being pregnant and not compet­ing this year is a delicate subject, so being omitted was quite disheartening. I'm sure it was just an oversight and I hope you don't mind my bringing it to your attention. [see page 44]

I also wanted to report that even though I am not competing on the indivi­dual tour this year, I will be in Phoenix to play mixed doubles and to attend the meetings. I recently spoke with Mike Hughes to volunteer my assist­ance with the Women's Division at the World Championships. Since I've been named chairman of the Women's Committee, I wanted to show my

Dilc Gol Wortd News • Spffng 1990 7

support. Well, he liked the idea and has asked me if I would like to run the Women's Division as the official and a liaison between the tournament directors and the women. I thought this was great. So, I will be there to guar. antee the women fair play, fair judgements, and fair cuts of the prize $'s.

One more thing before I close~-hopefully, Houston will be getting its first official disc golf course at Springwood Park. I'll keep you posted.

And.i Lehmann (Disc Golf Mom To Be) Houston, TX

Rick, Greetings! Even though family obligations make it harder for me to keep

the disc spinning, things are still happening here in Delaware, thanks to a growing disc golf constituency. We have a new 18-hole course designed at Killens Pond State Park. Pole holes will be in by late summer or early fall. We will also begin designing and construction of our fll'St County Park disc golf course at Canbey County Park.

For big tournaments, we are hosting the Crosstown Classic on May 19th and 20th. These two PDGA events, on the same weekend, will be at the legendary Brandywine Creek and the disc smashing, ego bashing Lums Pond. (Able to destroy golfers in a single round!) The overall winner of the Crosstown will touted the BEST overall disc golfer according to Delaware Disc Golf.

Enough Delaware promotion. The main reason I'm writing this letter is to let you know I'm changing the date of the 1990 Beaver Open from September 8 to September 15. This will avoid a tournament conflict with our disc brothers down south.

Keep up the good work, Your newsletter is the best. I hope to see you out there in 1990.

Dear Rick,

Steve Winchester Newark, DE

I have been enjoying the new 18-hole course in Burlington, NC, designed by Robbie Nicks. There are two back-to-hack 18-hole courses that are a real marvel to play. One is out in the open fields and the other is a tight, woodsy course. I reeonunend that anyone within 150 miles should check them out. Also, there is a course in Durham not far from Burlington. You could play all three courses in one day! I just wanted to let you and the rest of the DGWN readers know about this. Thanks for a great magazine.

Chuck Rhoades Greensboro, NC

Rick & Lynne I have been so busy on this end since becoming president of the Breeze. Just want to say keep up the good work on your magazinet one of the best info spreads around. I enjoyed meeting you at the Worlds. I'm planning on making the trip down for the Mid -America Open.

ICE BOWL IV DRAWS OVER 7 50 The 753 dedicated disc golfers made the 1990 edition of Ice Bowl Sunday

the international day of disc golf solidarity, in the gloom of winter, a ' phenomenal success. These players traveled to 31 courses across North America to play in the event that can never be postponed or cancelled due to to the weather. Ice Bowl III in 1988 drew 265 players to 14 courses. As all of us know by now, on Ice Bowl Sunday, there are no excuses and there are no wimps allowed. The weather was fairly nice, except for a band of snow from western Kansas up to the Great Lakes. The Ohio Valley was chilly but not frigid while the Great Lakes and the Northeast were downright cold. It was mild for the season in the Mid-Mississippi Valley and pleasant in the south and the sun belt states.

The best attended "Ice Bowl" was in Austin, TX where 54 players braved temperatures in the low 70s at the Polar Armadillo Ice Bowl. They were able to get in two rounds of singles and a round of doubles. Forty-six players teed off under overcast skies with temperatures in the mid -forties in Bowling Green, KY, where division winners were awarded crystal plates and bowls. A gift subscription each will be awarded to TDs Larry Mann and Rick Voakes for drawing the most players.

Milwaukee exemplified the Ice Bowl spirit in the greatest numbers as 20 doubles teams sloshed through five inches of snow while the temperatures dropped from a high of 30° to 22° and the wind reached 18 MPH during the second round. Twelve players in Council Bluffs, IA played in five inches of the white stuff. Eight players trudged, and this is hard work, through 8 1/2

, inches of fresh snow for two rounds in Hays, KS. The sun brightened the day as the temperature hit freezing. Indianapolis' 22 players braved freezing temperatures with 20 mph winds with snow flurries at tee time.

Among the Ice"iest" Bowls was the Erie, PA version, as six players went two rounds in light snow, 15 degrees, and 20-25 1\.fPH winds. In St. Thomas, ONT, 10 players skated around parts of the course as an early week warming trend had melted the snow and then it had rained. The course, being in a flood plain, had not drained when a cold front dropped the temperature to 18 degrees. Thirty-five hard­core disc golfers assembled in weather more suited for seals in New Brunswick, NJ as a cold rain fell with

temperatures in the low 30s. Ten players in Utica, MI were buffeted by strong wind.$ with temperatures in the upper 20's and snow on the ground.

For years, we have encouraged disc golf towns in the Sun Belt to get into the spirit of the Ice Bowl and this year it happened. Besides Austin, Clearwater, FL had one of the "N"icest Bowls where tournament director C.R. Willey reported that, "the only ice was in our coolers" as 40 players tuned up for the Triple Crown as the temperature neared 80°. This event was also used as a fundraiser for pole holes for the baek nine. Mesa, AZ fielded 20 players who had to bear a cool 60°.

FERRANS WINS WET BUD LIGHT OPEN Story by Rick Rothstein

Benefitting from a unique format, Sam Ferrans captured his first ever Bud Light Wintertime Open, in a one stroke victory over 1988 WTO champ Geoff Lissaman. Robert Cox was third, three throws down. The win netted Ferrans $900 plus a glass championship mug. All three men were from the immediate Los Angeles area. The Wintertime Open's unique format fea­tures the top three players after 54 holes, who then play from scratch in a nine-hole imal round. Lissaman, winning $200 extra as the 54-hole leader had his five throws over Cox and seven over Ferrans erased. This is the ' second year in a row that the 54-hole leader has not won the event.

The 12th rendition of the WTO was played February 17-18 at both Oak Grove Park in Pasadena and Veterans Park in Sylmar. Oak Grove is characterized by many large live oak trees, rocky terrain, and with the exception of about three holes, is essentially flat. The pin placements are quite often obscured by trees. The terrain at Veterans Park rolls gently, is mostly without grass, and features many eucalyptus and pine trees. The setting of the course offers a good view of the coastal mountain range to the south. There are a variety of alleys to get to most of the holes, although some of the holes almost demand that rollers be thrown.

A vicious winter storm gripped the Los Angeles area for the tournament weekend, dumping neru:,ly three inches of rain for the two days, and keep­ing the temperatures in the very chilling (for Southern California) 40s and 50s. One hundred forty-four professional players from eight states teed off Saturday in a steady rain. Because of the rain, dust was not a problem, but streams of causal water carried many discs away, and the recently redesigned hole #18 at Oak Grove featured a fairway and green of three­inch deep casual water.

The holes of the final round ranged from 300 to about 650 feet. Cox made a five on the first hole, going one down. Lissaman made three on hole #3, taking a roller route up the hill, while Ferrans tried a steep hyzer approach that didn't work out as his disc stuck in a tree. He took a five on the hole. The next hole was about 360 feet long through a bunch of trees. The pin was situated on a 30-foot island surrounded by out-of-bounds cement. Lissa­man's roller encountered early tree trouble and then another tree denied his approach shot. He took a five. Ferrans' drive left him 50 feet from the hole. Wisely, he played for the base of the pole for his par. Cox's drive found a tree and he took a four. The match was tied. Cox faded during the next three holes, falling three behind the co-leaders. It was on the 450' hole #8 that Lissaman, whose drive was as long as Ferrans', caught a bad lie in some brush from where he could not get a clean throw to the hole. He bogied, Ferrans parred, and the tie was broken. Ferrans was the one stroke victor after both men parred the final hole. Cox ended up three strokes down.

Amye Rosenthal of Tujunga successfully defended her Wintertime Open title that she captured for the first time last year. She held off a furious charge by Glendale's Kathy Nelson, who erased four of the six throws that 12 Disc Gof Wotid Newa • Spring 1990

Rosenthal had accumulated on Saturday, when she shot a very steady and well played two-under pat". It was Nelson's best tourna­ment performance to date.

The 1989 world's most dominant competitor in the masters division, Snapper Pierson, was severely tested by a trio of fellow San Diegans. However, he hung on tenaciously in the imal round, to defend his title which gave him his third WTO masters victory. Going into the third and final round, Pierson was up by four throws over Bruce Woodruff, six over Glen Triemstra, and seven better than Kevin Rounds. Triemstra and Rounds both shot a one-under-par 53 over the longer Oak Grove course, which featured many mandatories, to gain four strokes on Pierson. Only the top three Open players posted better scores for the round. There were 40 competitors in the masters

Ferrans finds his own route in the final nine. division, a record number Photo by RtcK ROTHSTEIN for a regular tour event.

The WTO also featured guts and freestyle. In choosing the six guts teams, the tournament staff tried to make the teams as equal in abilities as possible. The winners were Ferrans, Amy Bekken, Pete Sontag, Greg Barnicoat, and Jon Slater. They were best able to handle the extra zing and sting that the colder weather brought to this competition.

Rick Castiglia, Dave Schiller, and Joel Rogers won the open freestyle competition, giving a very polished, and extremely well-choreographed exhibition that was practically error free. Long time pro Stacey Anderson and Bekken won the women's freestyle.

The total purse for this year's WTO was $8,075. Of this, $5,925 went to golf, $1,950 to freestyle, and $200 to guts. This ranks the tournament number one in attendance and money so far in 1990 . .DGWN

CLIMO CLAIMS CROWN by Tom Monroe & Rick Rothstein

This year the Triple Crown was packed to the point of over­flow. As a matter of fact, the "Brains" behind the Crown, Bob Lewis, had to turn several people away. From now on, the big tourneys will fill up. Enter early or don't play!

The predominant weather pattern was warm and windy for the week of the Florida Triple Crown Disc Golf Series, February 17-24. All told, $6,620 in cash was distributed with each event averaging over 85 pro players. The fonnat this year called for three, two-day, four-round tournaments. The top four open finalists would then take part in a f'mal nine­hole shoot-out.

Extreme sunshine welcomed the players to Barnett Park in Orlando for the first leg. The longest course was used the i first round and Tom Monroe of Gainesville, FL, playing in the masters, carded the lowest Climo is the undisputed Triple crown champ.

Climo ( -4) of Clearwater. After four rounds on four different layouts, Climo and Monroe never lost a round and claimed victory easily by six and 15 throws respectively. They were joined in the winner's circle by Toronto's Joanne Gallagher who eased by Bowling Green, KY's Sylvia Voakes by three strokes. Florida's Steve Slasor placed second in the open while Alan Beaver of Matthews, NC was the second place master.

The Rockledge Disc Golf Course course, located near Florida's Atlantic coast, is one of the world's few pay-to play courses. It is also unique in design. Eighteen holes are squeezed into 12 acres. Yes, the fairways are tight. Fifteen foot nets have been placed in some of the trouble areas to ward off injury. Many players were whacked while walking. Others narrowly escaped injury from many a Roc or Vortex, the preferred wind slicers. The course from the short tees is over 5,000 feet and from the long tees is about 6,000. After the first day, the players requested the short tees only--for safety's sake. 16 Diec Got Wotld News • Spring 1990

David Greenwell of Louisville carded three sub-flfty rounds as he and Clearwater's Bob Blair placed fll'St and second respectively at Rockledge and moved into a tie for second for the overall title. Climo was third, but his overall lead had increased to nine strokes. Tied going into the final round, Beaver managed his fll'St win ever over Monroe by one throw. Meanwhile Gallagher practically locked up her Triple Crown title by racking up 21 strokes over both Voakes and fellow Torontonian Mina Cordeiro.

Just as the players finished at Rockledge, the sky opened up and it rained for over 24 hours straight. Thank goodness it was travel time. The rain was much needed by the state of Florida, plagued by a six month drought. After

the rain, a cool (cold?) front crept into Clearwater on the Gulf Coast. Saturday's tee off at Clearwater's Cliff Stephen's Park was clear and cold, which worked in the sunburned Canadians' favor.

Climo, Monroe and Gallagher each led their divisions after the first day and won the final leg. Rick Voakes of Bowling Green, KY, who was tied for fifth place in the overall after Rockledge, climbed back into the shootout finals, and ended up second at Clearwater. Beaver and Cordeiro took second in the masters and women's respectively.

Climo, leading by 18 strokes was loose and smiling, having only to play the nine-hole shoot out before claiming his crown. Demonstrating absolute boomer drives on the longer holes, he actually increased his final margin of victory to 22 strokes. The drama in the final nine was for second place as Voakes and Jim Akins of Georgia were tied, two strokes up on Greenwell. The second play-off hole was the challenging #16, a long, long water hole. Akins threw his sky roller into the water (some say close to an alligator) while Voakes' difficult second shot hit a tree and became nested. They both double bogied and Greenwell parred. All three were tied. Greenwell went on to make clutch putts on holes 117 and #8 of the play-off, but fell into a tie with Voakes when he missed an 18-foot putt on the fmal hole.

Some of the week's highlights were Monroe's twist putt over a 15' fence at Rockledge, Monroe and Greenwell tieing course records at Rockledge and Clearwater, Chris Sikorski winning the longest drive (400+) at Barnett, Steve Slasor winning the closest-to-the-pin at Rockledge and Climo winning the putting contest at Clearwater. Howard Gurthie of Gainesville lost all of his drivers in the water at Clearwater and had to drop out. Many players lost many discs in those murky waters. The "Amazing" Dr. Rick came alive at the end of the Clearwater leg and canned a 100 foot putt that ensured him a place in the shoot out.

The success of the 1990 Triple Crown was made po~sible by good 18 ~ Gol Wortd Newe • Spring 1990

organization and administration. The main staff included the Triple Crown T. D. Bob Lewis, overall coordinator Monroe, and event directors Roger Bunting, Ed Aviles, Jr., and Lewis. The sponsors helped with discs from Lightning, Discraft, and Wham-0, Discatchers from Innova, and minis from Discovering the World and Identified Flying Objects. In addition, Discraft kicked in $500 towards the overall purse. The Florida Westcoast Discers Club and the Orlando Chain Reactors helped raise money, some of which was used towards paying the liability insurance that was required at Batnett Park.

The chief concern of some of the contestants this year was the pay-out which went to only 12 players in the Open at two of the events. This was under the PDGA minimum of paying 20% of the players. Also, the Stephen's Course practice ofre-teeing from the tee pad when a dise is thrown in the water on hole's #10 and #16 contradicts the PDGA Rules of Tournament Play.

Plans for next year are now being readied Organizers have learned that that need to assist in obtaining accommodations for players and that a mid­week tournament can fill up. Players learned that they need to make reservations before traveling to Florida in the winter. It is possible that at least, one different course will be used next year.ooWN

The Disc Golfer's Psalm by Dr. Ace Mason

The wind is my ally; I did not want. It maketh me to roll down into green pastures:

it bloweth me into deep waters. It destroyeth the hole. Yea, though I throw across the valley of death,

I will make no eagle: for it art at mei its gusts & its wrath they buffet me.

It preparest a double bogey before me forth e entertainment of mine competitors; my score runneth over.

Surly woodness & cursing shtlll be with me for all the rounds of my life: and I will swell at the score forever.

WORLD JUNIOR FRISBEE CHAMPIONSHIPS by Nick Hart

The day after the San Francisco earthquake, 15 top ranked junior Frisbee players (16 & under) were flown to San Diego to compete in disc golf, free­style, distance, maximum time aloft (MTA), and accuracy. The pressure was intense. A few contestants had practiced for months to make complex tasks routine. No~ routine skills like putting, nail delaying and catching could be suddenly mterrupted by large chasms opening around you. This was no Universal Studios tour; this time it was combat. A quick check of the California state map, however, indicated we were hundreds of miles from any danger.

The World Junior Frisbee disc Championships began in 1969 and has inducted Sam Ferrans, Steve Valencia, Krae VanSickle, Peter Bloeme and Bill Burns into our sport. It is estimated that over 700,000 kids participated around the U. S. in 1989.

Contestants qualified to advance to regional competition at their local playground or local school by earning a minimum number of points in accuracy, distance and trick catches. One boy and one girl from eight regions were awarded a savings bond and a free trip to the finals courtesy of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes, Wham-0 , and True Value Hardw~e.

The first event was 18 holes of disc golf. Peter Albers from San Diego edged out defending World Junior Champion Shawn Kennedy of Wethers­field, CT by four strokes. Shooting seven consecutive birdies, Albers carded a 45. In the girls' division, Tina Wood from Orlando, FL shot a 57, edging last year's overall champion Angie Rodriguez of Sterling, IL.

Albers dominated the field again in the next event, MT A, by throwing an age group world record of 10.64 seconds. Another first time contestant, Michael Newton of Dallas, TX, threw a high, gliding shot that floated for 9.09 seconds to secure second place. Woods claimed the girls' division MTA with a 7.99 second toss.

After lunch, everyone got a special treat watching Albers throw a 91 mold 455' 2" (138.73 meters) for his second world record for boys under 16. Kennedy was the only other contestant to break the 400' barrier. Rodriguez threw 285' to take first with Woods close behind with a toss of273'.

Due to rain, the next day's events, freestyle and accuracy, were held indoors at Sea World. In freestyle, the boys got the chance to develop a routine with World Freestyle Champion Rick Castiglia of Coloradical fame. The girls had a choice of Baby Shamu or Nick Hart. Hart got the nod because the impish whale had a luncheon date for sushi.

Contest veterans Kennedy and Matt Helber of Ann Arbor, M1 showed the poise and skills developed through competing in freestyle at this level for several years. They took firSt and second, respectively. A real surprise was newcomer Chad Wolbers of Dubuque, IA, who was a tipping machine. He could strike the disc from almost any angle; behind his back, between his legs, or with his head. In the girls' division, Carla Rubes from Yukon, OK displayed some intricate rim delays to capture frrst with Wood playing steady and strong for second. All the contestants had to get used to wearing fake nails in order to do some of the more demanding moves.

Accuracy wa.s the last event and provided the opportunity for some contes­tants to jOckey for final position in the overall. Out of 20 throws, Rubes threw 12 for the girls' title and Helber hit 15 to take the boys' title. The overall race finished as follows:

SHORT STOPS David Demery of Scottsdale, AZ earned his first pro victory at the Riverside Open in Mesa, AZ. He started the second day four throws down to Terry Thiele of Tempe, but took the lead for good with a -11 in the third round. Tied for fifth was new pro Scott La Valley. Glen Whitlock of Canada aced the 309' hole #9 and TD Jonnie Carroll aced the 241' double mando #3 . ... . . . . Jim Oates of Sacramento won what may have been his first PDGA tour event at the Aquatic Park Wintertime Tune Up in Berkeley, CAin February. He won in sudden death, after he and San Franciscan Leonard Muise were tied after 72 holes of regulation. East coast transplant, Hunt Hyde, now living in the Bay Area, won the masters division. ••••• In Tucson, AZ, Jeff "Hummer Thuntber" Homburg and disc golf were featured in the lead story of the Accent Section of the January 25 Arizona Daily Star. Homburg provided some interesting insight as to how disc golf is similar and dissimilar to ball golf. He said, "they have hooks and slices but they can't throw an 'S' curve like we can". Describing an air bounce as a shot that goes down before rising, he said "you can never make a golf ball do that". The article appeared two days before the Tumbleweed Disc Golf Open, which drew 50 players, 16 more than last year's inaugural event . ... . . . . Amateur participation continues to grow in Oklahoma as 45 ams out of a total field of 84 played on a cold and windy day in early February at the one­day Snowball Classic in Norman. Appropriately, there were some light snow flurries and the aptly nicknamed Alvin "The Iceman" Dale came from behind for a one-throw win over Texas' Sam Grizzaffi. Paula Ecki­wardy won by eight throws in the women's division. Brent Edwards breezed to a 15-throw win in the masters division of nine. The winners were all from Oklahoma City or Norman. Rick Braught from Texas won the ama­teur division by 11. Amateur participation is strong here due to the equita­ble treatment ams get in tournaments and the excitement that is building for the World Amateur Championships to be held in nearby Wichita, KS. • • • • • Due to a bureaucratic snafu, the course in Rio Rancho hadn't been installed, and so the Rio Rancho Inaugural Tournament (to be rescheduled) became the Hoople Head Hoedown and was held in Albuquerque. Veteran player and Roosevelt course pro Sherm Haworth won by five throws over Greg Finch, also playing at home. Oklahoma's Tom Doughty took the masters . • • • • • Norman's Brad Stone won the Lawton (OK) Open with a three-throw come­from-behind win over Mitch McClellan, also from Norman. Tom Doughty and Paula Eckiwardy were the masters and women's winners . • • • • • Gary Harris won the open and Larry Mann won the masters at the Park Pete Open in Austin on February 25-26. The real story is that 90 amateurs participated including li women.ooWN 22 Disc Gol World News • Sprtng 1990

THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS The PDGA World Championships will be held in Scottsdale, AZ from

Octobe:r(8).3. Tournament Director Mike Hughes and the hosting Desert Disc ClW are gearing up for a fun week, featuring plenty of great go]f and some extra·curricular activities. All golfers will play each of the four courses twice before a cut. The courses are Shelly Sharpe, Kleinman, Rive~de, and Fountain Hills, which plays around a lake featuring the worl~ tallest fountain. The semi·fmals will be played at an elongated Shelly Sharpe and the finals will feature a new course design at Shelly Sharpe. The players meeting will be at St. Daniels Church, close to the hotel. An outdoor barbeque and awards banquet will be held on Friday night in an amphitheater right next to the host hotel.

The Scottsdale Inn Suites, which is literally a long putt from Shelly Sharpe, is offering the best accommodations pa~e ever at a World Championships. The flat rate begins at $36, but if@!Prooms are booked by Friday, October 5, then the rate drops to $32. All adult guests will receive three complimentary cocktails in the hotel's lounge during happy hour. The hotel also has a jacuzzi and a large pool. Reservations can be made by calling 602-941-1202. Hughes is very insistent that the tournament players stay at the hotel and hope that they will make a genuine effort to show support for all the tournament's sponsors when in Scottsdale.

Concerning sponsorship, Hughes is still waiting for Bud Light to decide if they are going to exercise their option for becoming the lead sponsor. This decision is due by April1, after which he will begin negotiating with several other potential lead and/or secondary sponsors.

The e~try fee for the 1990 championships will be $100 and Hughes is basing plans for the field to include 216 open, 36 masters, 24 women, eight grand masters and four senior grand masters, although contingency plans are being prepared if the actual numbers are different. Hughes may be contacted at 602-966·2842 . ... ... ... . ...

Inquiries about the 1990 World Amateur Disc Golf Championships have come from California, Kentucky, Maryland, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Texas, Michigan, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas. Tournament Director Harvey Barger also reports that the City of Wichita and the Parks Department are whole-heartedly supporting the August event. The entry is $40, the Wichita Plaza is the host hotel, and an excellent player's package is being readied. The frrst invitations will be mailed in Mid-April to the men and women's winners of PDGA events in the advanced and amateur divi­sions. Winners of subsequent events through July will also receive invita­tions. A second mailing in Mid-May will go to players recommended by course pros. Besides having an invitation, a player must be an active PDGA member and must never have accepted prize money in a PDGA event.

The Kansas Disc Golf Association is the hosting club and it is their intention to give out disc golf related prizes valued at 100% of the entry fees. For more information, call Barger at 316-221~1017.oowN

INSURANCE--ONE T. D.'s SOLUTION by Kerry Keith

I'd like to share my experience concerning acquisition of liability insurance for disc golf tournaments. The subject is "hot" now, with the PDGA considering some kind of support for the various tournaments. I thought other TDs might benefit from knowing how we handled the situation for last year's Edgewood Electric Open.

As the tournament was to be held in a city park, the city Park Board required a $1,000,000 liability policy in order to approve use of the park for the tournament. I made about a half a dozen calls to insurance companies and received quotes in the $1,000-$1,500 range. At the same time, I got quotes for a $300,000 liability policy. The cost for the lower coverage ranged from $300-$400.

Given this information, the Park Board was asked to accept the reduced coverage. They agreed to the lower amount because: 1) we had warning signs about disc golf on the park grounds, 2) we explained the duties and responsibilities of our roving tournament officials -- part of which was monitoring spectator traffic (particularly those spectators who were unaware of the event!), and 3) we made the Park Board aware that there has been no litigation as a result of personal injury relating to disc golf.oowN

DAVE DUNIPACE INTERVIEW by Rick Rothstein

Dave Dunipace is a partner of Innova-Champion Discs and the designer of all the discs in their line as well as the 91 mold and the current line of DGA Discs. He lives with his wife Vivian and his sons, Taber, aged 5 and Koby, aged 3 in Rosemead, CA. Born in Philadelphia, he moved shortly after his birth to Southern California. He threw what he thinks was a red Pluto Platter in 1957 but didn't do any throwing again until the 1970s. He de­scribes himself as basically a jock who played baseball and football in high sclwol, and basketball and some football in college. He was on a volleyball team while in the Air Force. His first disc golf tournament was a monthly at La Mirada in late 1977 or early 1978. He placed third. From there he went on to win the disc golf title at the World Disc Championships (Santa Cruz) in 1980, was the distance champion at the 1981 World Frisbee Championships, and won disc golf at the 1983 U. S. Open. He's never won the PDGA Worlds but has had four top ten finishes and ranks eighth for overall performance in the DGWN rankings. He did place second at the 1982 Worlds, losing to his protege, Harold Duvall, or as Dave describes it, he beat the teacher. We interviewed Dave on February 14 at the Innova fac­tory in Ontario, CA. We agreed mutually that questions concerning the on­going patent infringement litigation would not be a subject of the interview.

DGWN: How did you get involved in organized disc sports.

DAVE: Are they organized? I was working at the Employment Develop­ment Department. I was one of the interviewing people. A girl who worked there told me that there was a disc golf course at La Mirada. I'd never heard of it. I said, "Disc golf --wow" .. .it sounded interesting to me, so I went down there and checked it out and took my Super Pro and played a round and shot a 44 over. Just hitting metal, not putting it in the basket and that was my score, 44 over. This was in 1977.

DGWN: Who influenced you as a developing player? How?

DAVE: George Morris, I guess. I admired his driving style. It was real slow and deliberate and it was very accurate. He knew how the disc would fly. I was influenced by that although I had my own method of throwing. Other than that, I was on my own because the players at La Mirada weren't very good.

DGWN: How did you become interested in designing discs?

DAVE: I was in a tournament in Chicago in 1979 and it was real windy. It was very difficult to throw the discs we had. I was throwing a 145 gram 40 mold at the time. Other guys, like Tom Wingo, had a 165 gram 40 mold. I did not think that was very equitable, especially when the wind came up. At that same tournament, I saw a Skyro (the Aerobie's precursor) fly for the first time. It kind of gave me an idea that you could make a disc fly

28 D1ec Golf Wctld News • Spring 1990

more like a Skyro. That just gave me the idea that it would be nice to do something; for somebody to do something. I didn't have the idea that I was going to be the one to do anything.

Later on, when the discs started getting real heavy, I was all for the discs getting heavier up to about 180 grams. I thought it was really good. Then it started to get out of control. Some discs were like 270 grams. At that point, I could see that the big strong guys would definitely have an advantage over the other guys. I was one of those who had the advantage. I set a record at Whittier Narrows that's still there. I did it twice--26-under for two rounds. That was before our plastic even existed. It was blunt faced discs, but they were 22..Q grams. I was using "nine inch vectors". It was like playing horse shoes--up and down, up and down, it was really easy, no problem. There was no one who could touch me, at that time, because I was big and strong and could throw these things. I could throw a 300 gram disc--no problem. But no one else could. I didn't think that was too fair, so I was definitely for lowering the weight limits--not to 157 grams or whatever the hell it went down to the first time. But, I think we voted for nine grams per centimeter [ed. note--the current weight standards were set by a PDGA membership

29

vote in 1983] and it got to what, 8.3 through some weird method. Anyway, it was okay when we got that weight limit. Before they got there, I already had the idea that a disc could fly farther without being 220 grams. It was at the end of 1982 when I started working on some models. In early 1983, I had the beginnings of the Aero.

DGWN: How was Champion Discs formed?

DAVE: I was trying to get backing for my designs. At first, I was kind of naive about it. I thought I could just call somebody in the disc business and and tell them I could design a disc that goes much further, flies under more control in windy conditions, and all the rest of the stuff. Because they were in the disc business, I thought they would say, "great, let's do it and I'll back you." Well, I was re.al naive. There wasn't anyone out there who would do that. I tried to approach [Ed] Headrick but I couldn~ even get a sentence out. Snapper Pierson was another one and Dan Mangone was another one and Jan Sobel was another one. They all turned me down. It was Sobel who said maybe, maybe not, because I had been influential in the design of the Puppy. It was kind of like a committee design--the Puppy was--and I was one of the committee. So, he knew that I could carry it off. But, he was having business problems at the time with his partner and they were split up. It was not a convenient time for him. But, two weeks later, he did come back and say that he would do it on some level, not as a partner, but as a real minor player. I would give him the designs and he would give me some minor per

centage. Meanwhile, I was groaning and moaning to Harold [Duvall], who was my protege. We would be playing disc golf and I would tell him about this stuff. And he happened to have some money and said he'd back me. Just like that. He had never seen the disc but neither had anyone else. I thought they would just take my word for it. Well, he did and that was it. This was in February of 1983. From there, Tim [Selinske] came on and Harold's brother [Charlie) because we needed more money. It took about $18,000 to start up. Tim ran it and I was the person that made sure the molds were built right and injected right. But I was working elsewhere, working on my PHD, doing an internship in clinical psychology. I wasn't available to do any nuts and bolts until later. That's how it started. Harold Duvall is the man responsible for Champion Discs.

DGWN: What made the original Eagle a unique flying disc?

DAVE: At the time, every disc out there was a blunt faced disc; they did not have what we refer to in the patent as an "outer rounded corner". It is the outer rounded corner that gives it the triangular rim configuration. That is one of the things that really helped. The flexible flight plate was not unique. Other discs had that before. It was just part of the package. The fact that we increased the rim mass with that same shape at the same time, gave it more gyroscopic force. That was another unique contribution. All those things put together in one package is what made it a unique flying disc.

DGWN: When you re-designed the Roc and the Hammer, the result was a larger disc. What considerations did you make in keeping the same names?

DAVE: Flight characteristics. The Roc had the same flight characteristics except for it was kind of further, a little faster, and a little easier to throw. But the basic flight characteristics remained the same.

DGWN: Are you satisfied with your current line of discs?

DAVE: No. We're never really going to be satisfied because we are always looking for ways to improve them. One of my chief areas of dissatisfaction has always been with the consistency of disc to disc and run to run. Sometimes, we get runs that are better than they should be and sometimes, in the past, we have gotten runs that aren't as good as they should be. In the last year, since we started molding them ourselves, we have gotten them mainly the way they are supposed to be. We're trying to get them to be the same all of the time. So, yes, consistency is a big dissatisfaction that we have now. We don't really have any plans to make discs fly further. Although, we want to keep pre-eminent status. So, if some other company comes out with a disc that is better, we'll just make one that beats it. Because, it's not difficult for us to do.

DGWN: Do you have any new discs coming out in the near future?

DAVE: Yes. But I can't talk about it. What I can talk about is an approach

Diac GoW World News • Spring 1990 31

disc. You can call it a super driver or an approach disc. It's something that no one is asking for. But, I really think there is a need for it. I don't see that there is a market for it but there is a need for it. A need for a disc, larger in diameter, like people used to play with. There was a reason why I switched from a 40 mold to 50 mold to an 80 mold. In light plastic, the 80 mold was much more forgiving; it was a much more reliable disc to throw. It has a larger diameter which means that you didn't have to spin it as cleanly or as fast to get the same kind of stability. And that is what this larger sized di­ameter disc will be--a larger diameter, 200 gram maximum weight disc. I can't be specific about its flight characteristics now because it's so radi­cally different in size and shape from anything we have made so far that I am not really sure what the flight characteristics are going to be exactly. It's going to be close to stable, though. It might be out around the end of April or in May. I don't expect it to be a real hot seller but there are some people out there who appreciate short drives, approaches, and the forgiving nature of a larger diameter disc. In windy conditions especially, this disc will, I am pretty sure, shine.

DGWN: How does this compare to the Golf Apple?

DAVE: It will be smaller than the Apple and it will have a beveled edge. So, it will have more rim mass than the Apple does. The Apple is a good disc, especially after we fixed the mold. Most of the Golf Apples that we came out with were slightly unstable rather than stable. But, nobody seems to remember big discs and they can't switch from the big grip of the Apple to the little grip of a the modem golf disc. The new disc will have a grip somewhere in between and will make the transition a little easier. Like I say, there might not be a big market for it, but then again, the game may evolve to that point. And, we'll be there first.

DGWN: A golf ball, because of USGA specifications concerning size and weight, is limited to how far it can go, but a golf disc's distance is subject to the power and technique of the thrower. Is there something that can be done with discs to equalize the distance for more players?

DAVE: You see we did that when we came out with our series of discs and

soft drink companies or beer companies. But, there is little or no effort that I can see to promote other than very locally. Even then, I don't see very much of that. Promotions are a big thing with us, but I don't see too much of that.

DGWN: Promoting at what level?

DAVE: At least, at a regional level if not at a national level. It's a national organization, so why shouldn't they promote on the national level. I mean

' tournaments in conjunction with sponsors. Like the Coors PDGA, the Budweiser PDGA, the Pepsi PDGA, the Coca-Cola PDGA. Hire a proposal writer or whatever you call them. Hire a public relations kind of per-son .. .like Mark Danna. It doesn't have to be him but someone who has ex­perience in this area. There are no public relations or promotions. The main task should be promoting the sport.oGWN

COLUMBIA, MO: MINNEAPOLIS, MN:

Both Disc Golf World News and the P.D.G.A.'S Disc Golfer have picked the Discraft EclipseTM as the best golf disc of 1989.

Following in the wake of the Eclipse'sTM tremendous popu­larity, Discraft has just intro­duced the VorteXrM high veloc­ity driver. The VortexTM is similar in design to the Eclipse™, but its super stable design configuration makes it the perfect driver even in high wind conditions.

In the short time since its in­troduction the VorteXrM has won rave reviews from top players and it looks as though the VorteXru is the hot new disc of the 1990 season.

Discraft's current line of golf discs includes the EclipseTM' the VorteXrM' the Phantom+TM' and their original golf disc the Sky-Strea.Is-M· For info, contact:

TOUR TOUTS The Santa Cruz Open "Masters Cup" (April 20-22) is played at Delaveaga Park, one of the most challenging and beautiful courses in the country. A Super Tour event hosted by the Delaveaga Dise Golf Club, the SCO gives prize money in some unique ways. On Friday, there will be one round of best disc doubles with a twist. The top teams will go on to play in skin games as individuals. Last year there were 11 doubles teams and players from the top four teru;ns played for the cash. When the regular tournament begins, players receive a dollar for each birdie, a $200 bonus for five birdies in a row (this has been done) and $200 for playing two consecutive bogey free rounds (this has never been accomplished). Cash is also given for each round's best score and closest-to-the-pin in each round. * * * * * The Kansas City Flying Disc Club will be adding $500 to the purse for its April21-22 Kansas City Wide Open. The latest of a long series of improve­ments the Club has made, to a previously neglected Rosedale Park, is the installation of several alternate pin placements. The course is one of the longest on tour at about 6,600 feet. * * * * * The June 2-3 U. S. Open Folf Tournament is a big event. Tournament Director Tom Ingle makes sure that all the competitors are treated right. There are meals, a great course, a band and a gallery. The course is decorated in such a way that the general public knows that something is going on. Two years ago Ingle promised $5,000 and $5,000 was delivered. Last year it was $5,500. This year it will be $6,000 in prize money that will be distributed--no ifs, ands, or buts. Last year's masters purse was exceeded only by the World Championships . • * * * * The Japan Open 1990 is May 18-20 in Tae.hikawa City, near Tokyo. The two previous Japan Opens have ranked among the top four all time tournaments in terms of money. Another large purse is anticipated this year. Almost all of the Americans who have made the long trip to Japan have returned full of enthusiasm about the highly professional nature of the event, the cordiality of their hosts, and have a desire to play there again. * * * * * Peru, IN is a small town about 60 miles north of Indianapolis, but it is home to three unique and well-designed disc golf courses. The Sixth Annual Circus City Open on June 8-9 will be played at two of them, both offering quite a bit of variety. The Maconoquah Park is the tighter of the two but has some open holes. Mississenewa has holes ranging from open to tight and offers some elevation changes. The Peru Disc Golf Club is also kicking in at least $500. *. * * * Master division players should take note of the May 12-13 Bartholomew Open in Austin, TX where tournament director Larry Mann will be adding at least $500 to the masters purse.

Amateurs bound for the Am Worlds should check out the Herman Hill course at the Doo-Dah Open, to be held in Wichita on May 18-19. This is one of the two courses to be used for the August championships. Pros can look forward to some money added. Tou.rnan'lent director Mark Jennings has the event, now in its second year, growing steadily.

The U.S Open Flying Disc Championships, the world's largest all around flying disc meet, is giving away more money to more people this year. The total purse will be increased $2,000 to $42,000. The Open Division finishers, in each event, including disc golf, will be paid through lOth place. Women will still be paid through fourth place. The U. S. Open will be held in La Mirada, CA from June 25-July 1. * * • * * The largest and oldest of Oklahoma's tournaments is the Norman Pro-Am. The purse has been getting larger the last few years, in no small part , due to the sponsorship of Massive Graphics and its owner Kent Johnson, who will be the event's TD this year. Amateurs in this part of the country are treated quite well with the winners walking away with armfuls of discs. * * * * * Pepsi is sponsoring the Rocket City Super Tournament in Huntsville, AL on May 18-19. Tournament Director Lavone Wolfe is promising a $10,000 package including purse, trophies and players' package. Wolfe expects the cash purse to top $7,000 and the pros will receive free admission to a Friday night party at the United States Space and Rocket Museum.

UPSHOTS """' ' t?,,~! Spin is the Official Newsletter of the B.C. Disc Sports Society ($10 to BCDSS, 234-1367 W. Broadway Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6H 4A9, Canada). Reporting fully on all disc sports from all over British Columbia, the November 1989 issue also had a story on a toumament in Washington and a report on the World Championships from B.C.'s sole entrant in 1989, Glen Whitlock. Avidly environmental, Spin is published on re-cycled paper and one article lists "70 Ways to Save the Environment". * * * * * Another impressive magazine is Frisbee® Lagan, the official publication of the Swedish Frisbee Forbundent. Written in Swedish and printed on huge (about 17 by 11 inch) glossy paper, the 12-page issue we received featured stories about the U. S. Open and the World Ultimate Championships. * * * * * Dave Dunipace oflnnova-Champion Discs reports that the re-tooling of the Phenix has been "100% successful". He says that it's easier to throw and that with a tail wind, it's "the fastest and furthest disc on the market" and will also roll a long ways. He is predicting that two-thirds of the field at the U. S. Open will be throwing them. * * * * * Disc Golf Diamonds: John Behymer of Burlington, KY is laying claim to the first ace of the new decade. His disc found the basket at 1:30 CST on the short (185') #5 at Cincinnati's Winton Woods. Kent Johnson of Norman, OK had three aces in a ten-day period at the end of last year. John Houck in Austin, TX reports that the two-day Big Fun #28 mini-tournament in early February drew 114 players. * * * * * Steve Howle of Lightning Discs reports that the Spitflre is a straight, stable flyer with a slight hook at the end when throwing the disc in the lower 170s. It's an outstanding roller in the 180s. Legal to 185 grams, it is unbreakable and floats in water up to 175 grams. * * * * * It appears that the Lightning versus Innova and lnnova versus Lightning suit and counter suit should move to a jury trial in Dallas in July or August. The bulk of the discovery phase of the proceedings is fmished. Both sides remain confident about their respective positions and there appears to be almost no chance for a pre-trial settlement. * * * * * While Frisbee® remains a registered trademark of the Wharn-0 Company, it has steadily been creeping into everyday usage. Bob Huston of Royal Oak, MI noticed this in a January 6, 1990 Washington Post article. "The space shuttle Columbia and its crew yesterday rolled a Navy communications satellite into orbit, using what the astronauts call the 'frisbee' technique" We found this reference in syndicated columnist Mike Royko's column in early February: "the woman responded by reaching over the side of her bed, picking up an empty bed pan, and slinging it like a giant Frisbee at the nun's head."DGWt¥

A PREVIEW OF THE NEW RULES Thanks to over a year of extremely diligent work by the Rules Committee

of the PDGA, the most ambitious revision of the rules will be in use no later than the middle of July. Carlton Howard chaired the committee and the other members were Harold Duvall, Scott Zimmerman, Lowell Shields Tim Weiderkehr, Rick Voakes, and Phil Pollack. Significant assists ~ere given by Mike "Hoser" Williams, Dan Roddick, John Ahart, and Rich Hughes. At this writing, the Board of Directors has approved them, but a date for their implementation has yet to be set. Dues paying PDGA members are to receive a new rules book (once they are printed) as a benefit of member­ship. The World Flying Disc Federation will also be using these rules. Wham-0 Sports Promotion was very helpful in the rules revision process with copying and mailing services.

Here is rundown of some of the significant changes (we've underlined for emphasis). More courtesy violations have been specifically mentioned. These include ~wing and kicking bags, advancing on the fairway be­yond the away player, refusing to look for a lost disc or to keep score. Players who smoke should not allow their smoke to disturb other players.

The time rule now states simply that "a maximum of 30 seconds is al­lowed to each player to make a throw after (1) the previous player has thrown; and, (2) the player has taken a reasonable time to arrive at the disc and place the marker; and, (3) the playing area is clear and free of distrac­tions. The "30 seconds to complete preparations to execute the throw" has been eliminated.

Excessive sanding of discs is prohibited. A marker disc from seven to 15 centimeters and no higher than 2.54 centimeters is now required.

Teeing off has been liberalized with a player allowed to tee within bm meters from the front line of the tee area. A legal stance for second and sub­sequent shots have been toughened. A player is required to have one of his "supporting points placed within 30 centimeters behind the marker disc and o.n the imaginary line running from the hole through the center of the marker disc." Stance violations must now be called within tbree seconds after the infraction. The thrower may not call a stance violation on him­self* but he may confmn the call. Except for falling putts, a player may not retrieve the originally thrown disc when called for a stance violation. A player is still allowed one warning for a stance violation, but all subse­quent stance violations will incur a one-throw penalty.

A new subsection called "relief' replaces "obstacles." The rule reads: "obstacles to a player's stance or throwing motion that are permanent or are a integral part of the course cannot be moved or bent in any way altered by the player to facilitate the throw except as to allow the player to take a ~ (formerly normal) stance on the lie. When playing the lie, the player muat ~ the stance that will result in the least movement of any part of the ob­stacle between the lie and the hole."

The subsection unsafe lie supersedes unplayable lie. It states that "a player may declare a lie to be unsafe and ask that it be relocated to a new

Disc Gol World News • Spring 1990

playable lie within five meters of the unsafe lie, with a one-throw penalty. H the player decides that there isn't a suitable lie within five meters of the un­safe lie, the player may relocate the lie to a suitable lie on the fairway and take a two-throw penalty. In either case, the new lie may be no closer t~ the hole than the unsafe lie.

If the in-~~ds status is questionable and the player picks the lie up prior to a determmabon by the group or an official, it is now considered to have been in-bounds, but a two-throw penalty is assessed. In the case of a ques­tionable lie above the ground, if it is moved by .anx player before the two­meter determination, that player will receive a two-throw penalty. The disc will be assumed to have been below two meters. When a player is above two meters, he stills receives a one-throw penalty but must play his next shot di­rectly below where it had landed.

Playing the wrong lie has been toughened. If the mistake is caught ~ the offending player finishes the hole, he counts all the throws made with the wrong disc as practice throws .and receives a two-throw penalty .and fm­is.hes th~ hole fro~ his original lie. H he finishes the hole with the wrong diSc, a SIX-throw 1s assessed and the hole may not be re-played. The new rules call for unwinding mandatory dog legs.

The fmal section of rules deals with tournament procedures and these changes will be reviewed later. All measurements are now metric with a conversion table in the back. Howard encourages players with any com­me.nts, .suggestions, or ideas on further refmement of the rules of disc golf to wnte him at 3836 Sue Ellen Drive, Raleigh, NC 27604. Disc Golf World will be stocking rules books, once they are available.oowN

WHOOPS! !jf Raymond Carr was the Grand Master Champion at the 1985 World Championships. We incorrectly identified Jim Olsen, Sr. in our chart of past champions in the last issue. We are very sorry about this one. * * * * * Because some results got to us late, there have been some changes in the money winners for 1989. GeoffLissaman moved up two places to 16th, Jeff Harper went from 22th to 19th and Mike Sullivan went up one place to 28th. R. J. Jerez , largely on his win at the Gold Pan Open went from 30th to 20th. Tim Kady moved five spots to 31st. Johnny Lissamanjumped from 54th to 39th. Lavone Wolfe moved from lOth to ninth in the Masters. All the money winners from the World Championships received a proportional cut of $2,000 that was part of Bud Light's sponsorship. Although this money was received in 1990, it was earned in 1989. * * * * * We failed to credit Andy Lehmann with four victories in 1990. They were at Cincinnati, Metairie, Utica, and Dayton.ooWN

JUST THE BUCKS Th following chart is an analysis of the 25 leading money disc golf to~ments in 1989. It compares the total cash purse division in relation to th total of the entry fees. The entry fee or fees are listed first. The next

e ber is a percentage obtained by dividing the purse by the total of the :~ fees. The number after the slash is the number of entrants. The first

lumn is for the open, followed by women, masters, and the tournament ~~tal (money paying divisions only). The next category lists the total cash that was added or deducted from the total of the entry fees. Finally, the purse is broken down by divisions and by tournament total.

When examining these figures, please remember that this is a look at the cash only. Tournament packages, trophies, parties, meals, and other perks have not been considered nor have any late fees collected beyond the

blished entry fees been included in these calculations.oowN pu r- Entry Purse as percentage Plus or minus cash In Pu~e per division

ZIMBOBWA Y TEAM GOLF LEAGUE by Roger Bunting

Our golf league in Clearwater, which completed its first year last fall, was so successful that I wanted to share it with the disc golf community. The format allows both singles and doubles competition in a fun yet competitive atmosphere. The length of the league's season and the number of players can vary but this is what worked for the number of active players we had in the Florida W estcoast Discers Club (FWDC ).

The designated pros of the FWDC met to draft players for a six team (four players each) league. For the first week, each captain ranked his players in the order that they were drafted. After that, the captain could re-rank his players weekly, but was not allowed to move anyone more than one position either up or down Two-team matches were held with the first foursome consisting of each team's #1 and #2 seeds. Those teams' #3 and #4 seeds followed them off the same designated starting tee. Nine holes of singles were played followed by nine holes of doubles. The captain had submitted a #1 and #2 seeded pair within his team befunl the singles competition had begun. The parings could be changed from week to week, but not after they had been turned in The competing teams' #1 pairs went out as a foursome on the back nine, followed by the #2 seeded pairs.

When the doubles concluded, sudden death play-offs from the starting hole were held to break all ties. Seven points were possible each night: four in singles, two in doubles, and one point for the team with the lowest cumulative score. A reserve group of players was available to replace members who hadn't shown up. It was the captain's responsibility to submit replacements at the players' meeting. If no replacements were found, the team would lose the point for the missing player through forfeiture.

Our league kept our disc golfers active in tournament type golf which resulted in improvement for the participants. It was very competitive and fun. Why not give it a try in your area?ooWN
