What a great showing for Disc Golf at the Monterey Fairgrounds this
past Saturday. Disc Golf was again a hit with the crowd as we had
hundreds of players, new and experienced, playing on our 5 hole
course. Sales were great and we enlightened many new golfers on how
and where to play. We have added 7 new members to our club, bringing
the total membership this year to 89!

Thanks to Steve Thomas, Mike Brown, Cloud Pemble, Greg Pool, Deena
and Matt Hoffman, Sam, Tyson, Tom and the rest of the Jellies who
showed their support to help promote Disc Golf in Monterey. Even the
newly wedded Scott Keasey of the DGA made a cameo appearance with
his new bride.

Our Big Arm Ale was also a hit as we served 2 kegs of it in no time.

We look forward to next years event and thank Jeff Moses and Ray
Napolitano (Festival Hosts) for letting us set up our promotional
booth.

See you in Big Sur! Be on the lookout for updates...the flyer is
posted on the files page.

Hey everyone, I just lost my Teebird-L on hole 8 at Oaks, it's a 165
and one of my favorites.  If you anybody comes across it I would love
to have it back.  My name and number are on the underside (Central
Valley cell # but I live in Monterey).  Thanks

.....and if you choose to park in an area without the permit parking
only sign, park in areas that have designated spaces, painted lines
on the pavement. We've been ticketed for not doing this and we've
been ticketed at at the "practice" lot for not having a ticket.
$1.50 vs $25.....it's worth the quarters. Lori

As with any lot at the university, look for the signs. That lot next to hole
zero (practice
hole) on the Cypress Course is a pay lot. Last I checked there is a parking pass
dispenser
next to building 80 (bring six quarters).

The CSUMB Disc Golf Club posts parking information and maps for both the Cypress
and
Oaks course on their website.

http://clubs.csumb.edu/discgolf/map/

There are still places to park for free, but you'll need to follow our lead. We
review this
information with the University Police Department each year, just to make sure.

Classes start on Monday, August 28th, so expect a lot more cars in the lots and
players on
the courses.

Hey,
Whats the deal with Parking? I always park in the lot next to the
Practice hole (old course) because I was told it is OK for off-campus
peeps to park there....is this correct? Or do we have to pay to park?

Just joined the club...sorry it took so long!
I will be playing regularly on Tuesdays after work, around 4:30-5,
with a group of disc golfers. See ya out there!

Have not seen your disc yet...We will be on the lookout. As for
Restrooms, try the police building between hole 8 and when you cross
the street to go to 9. I usually have good luck with an open door
somewhere in the building. There are restrooms inside.

Sean and Steve,  Here is what I remember for sure and what made me
write in the first place. Lori and I standing at the tee signs for
12, 13 and 14 with discs in hand, waiting for 4 or 5 people to
finish the hole. At 14 when it was apparant we weren't being
acknowledged we walked back over to 10 thinking that would give us
enough cusion to not be crowding the group that started in front of
us. I did not yell or wave as I thought it was obvious we were
waiting on you.
     Clearly I do not understand what protocol is for letting someone
in front know you would like to pass. Mostly I felt snubbed and
ignored. Sean calling me was the first indication anybody in the
group gave that there was anybody else around.
The course was wide open and you could have started anywhere. At
that point given my limited experience with this game I was not
about to push any point.

    I have just assumed it was bad form to tee off on a hole until
the group in front is done with their putts and moving toward the
next tee. If this is not the case then I clearly didn't crowd your
group close enough for you to notice. What is considered good form?
     If your right behind someone that is still an average of 300
feet. If you have to run up to the group, ask and then run back and
tee off.......well it hardly seems worth the effort.
     The only way I can see it working smoothly is if the group in
front waves the waiting players through. I can be wrong though, I'm
good at it.
      All this said this is not descriptive of my experiences with
disc golfing. As a matter of fact, short of disc eating trees, this
is the first time anything remotely negative has happened.
     My experiences at City Hall and at Big Sur a year ago stand out
as much stronger images of MSJ and it's members than this one
instance. I intend to put this behind me now.
Thanks for the feedback,  Stephen

Hi Stephen,

   I was part of the group from last Friday.....

   This info may help with your questions about Etiquette:

   Mike and I began on hole 12. From the tee box I could see two players
completing hole 9 and tee off from hole 10 (you and possibly Lori). For us to
begin from this point is OK; there was no players directly behind us. We were
later joined by two other players.

   I'm really good at keeping tabs on quicker players or smaller groups that may
be in a good position to play through. I looked over to you at two different
occasions, and I did not get the impression you and your partner were ever in a
position to jump ahead.

   A good Etiquette rule of thumb to consider may be this:

   If faster players or smaller groups clearly express hints or signs they wish
or are ready to play through than because of player etiquette they should.

   In the past, what I like to do and have seen is this, asking the group in
front if they would not mind....etc. I'd only do this if I was ready to play the
same hole as they are or walked up to their tee box prior to them teeing off.

   If you have any other questions, please let us know.

   Sorry for holding you up.

   Sincerely,

   Steve Thomas

So maybe I can get some feedback here on what happened this
afternoon. We were a little over half way through the course,
walking up to 11, I think. It's the long straight, into the wind,
between two eucalyptus trees hole right next to 1st Street. A group
of five shows up and tees off on 12 right in front of us. At first I
thought they were just warming up before walking over to the first
hole on the other side of 3rd Street. I was wrong, they went ahead
like we didn't exist, some of them throwing two discs from the tee.
I kept looking to see if they might wave us to play through, but
that didn't happen. We even circled around replaying some holes but
caught right back up with them.
At one point one member of the group called to me by name
and identified himself. It's too bad because it's someone I like and
thought was a real ambassador for the sport. So I'd like to know,
is there course "etiquette" or protocol? I don't mean the kind
written up on the PDGA web site. I mean in the real world when it's
just you and some amateur on the course. If it's not practiced or
taught by the "Pros" how does it get out there.
Whew! At least I got it off my chest.

Hi Steve,

First of all, it is good to know that you are still with us on this
message board and website. Secondly, it is great to see you are
still playing. I had called a handful of times and had not heard
back from you, other than when I talked to Lori a few months ago.

Now, for the record...(on this day you experienced) I arrived at the
Cypress course a bit after 6 pm to join a foursome of club members
on #15 (shooting straight down the hill toward the police building).
At that point, I noticed a twosome arriving at the tee of #10. I
noticed because there were no other players on this side of the
course. The next time I saw this twosome was when we were finishing
#16. I noticed it was you and Lori. You two were walking down the
fairway of #15 when I called to you. Unfortunately, your response
was less than cordial and you kept walking. I was taken back by your
response but headed toward the #17 tee as you finished #15. We
finished #17 and went to the tee of #18. You two finished 16 & 17
and decided to stop as we were leaving the tee of #18.

As for what happened before I arrived, I cannot say, but I can
guarantee the etiquette of those who I played with would be of the
same professional caliber you would expect. If you did appear to be
coming close to our/their group we/they would have let you through.
The closest you came to us was when you were leaving from the basket
of #17 and we had finished teeing off #18.

I wish you would have said something at the time rather than us
corresponding in this manner.

I hope you do keep playing and keep the faith that we are all in it
together in the spirit of fun and friendship.

Sean Allen - MSJDGC

Don't worry, I'll still hit Fort Ord someday. You just hit a nerve with
me. The second response was a bit more eloquent. Some bigger groups are
beginners, and I'm sure if you ask to play through most would cooperate.
It's those that know better and give you a rude "no" when you ask to
play through that are a real dissappointment. I hope you don't let them
get you down - at least y'all don't have to deal with them in 100
degree heat with 50% humidity :)
  Well I'm out the door for my usual Sunday morning round, only 73
degrees now with 100% humidity (rain), oh well.

Your right, this is not good course 'etiquette' and should be
frowned upon. Though of course it happens and seems sometimes will
happen with groups that should know better. It varies at each course,
but in alot of cases, it will happen with large groups of locals that
should know better(not always, could happen with a group of people
just starting out the game)

Anyway I could say more, but I won't.
Remember its only a game and hopefully these happenings won't spoil
your fun.

Please don't characterize the Cypress Course by my description of
one instance. By far most of my experiences there have been
positive. It is not uncommon to have the course to yourself.
     The problem with walking through and butting in front of the
group ahead is it promotes rude behavior rather than discourage it.
Even worse it would be calculated rather than negligent. I don't
think anybody percieved themselves as being rude in the instance
described. If anything they just didn't think about it.......there
lies the root of most "rude" behavior.
    Back to the main point, my experiences here on the Monterey
Peninsula at Cypress, Carmel Middle School and Big Sur have been
predominately positive. I am sorry to here that is not your
experience in Texas.
      And by all means..... play on through

YES!!! There is definitely a course ettiquette and those folks were
not using it. Yet the behavior you describe is all too common - it
always seems to be the "pros", too, and there are usually 6 or 7
of 'em. It's bad enough when a larger group won't let you play
through but when they cut in front of another group that is just very
rude. We have a course here in Austin (Tx) and it's not uncommon to
start on the 9th hole if its backed up a bit on 1. But you would
never jump in ahead of a group. These jerks have really turned me off
to the sport, to be honest. And yes it is always a group of folks who
are very regular players, a little better than the average player,
and think they are God's gift to disc golf. I think their mindset
is "well we're so much better that we play as fast as a twosome, and
these lame beginners behind us will just slow us down, blah, blah,
blah. Yep, unfortunately there are assholes all over. I've gotten to
the point that I only play early Sunday morning rounds anymore, when
most of the uber-assholes are still hanging over (wait till you get
behind a group of 'em with a cooler of beer they're lugging around
slowly and they're all drunk and loud and obnoxious). In fact the
last time I played a round NOT on Sunday was two months ago at Carmel
Middle School while I was in Pacific Grove for my wedding and that
was a Saturday morning (morning of the wedding per the bride!!). I
guess due to the extreme "beginnerness" of the course I've rarely
encountered anyone there besides tennis players.
I never did make it out to fort Ord - I'm a little wary now. I do
come out to Cali pretty regularly to visit the in-laws.
My only advice is a trick we use, not so much a trick I guess but
just walk through the hole the jerks are playing like you're leaving
early and you're just gonna walk out the rest of the course, walk
quickly and don't look at them. Get to the next tee box and there you
go. Doesn't work that well if the course is too packed but you might
give it a try. Sorry to say the assholes are on the rise - my buddy
has his own private course in Kentucky, maybe I'll just have to start
making that 13 hour drive if I want a nice pleasant round.

I and my girlfriend are definitely novices at this game. We've been
playing irregularly for about a year, maybe a little more. Mostly at
the Cypress course at Fort Ord. We have quite a bit of fun and for
the most part enjoy the interactions with other players we've met on
the course. Now I don't know all the rules of etiquette surrounding
the game and would not enjoy trying to make any kind of point while
on the course.
	 So maybe I can get some feedback here on what happened this
afternoon. We were a little over half way through the course,
walking up to 11, I think. It's the long straight, into the wind,
between two eucalyptus trees hole  right next to 1st Street. A group
of five shows up and tees off on 12 right in front of us. At first I
thought they were just warming up before walking over to the first
hole on the other side of 3rd Street. I was wrong, they went ahead
like we didn't exist, some of them throwing two discs from the tee.
I kept looking to see if they might wave us to play through, but
that didn't happen.  We even circled around replaying some holes but
caught right back up with them.
	 At one point one member of the group called to me by name
and identified himself. It's too bad because it's someone I like and
thought was a real ambassador for the sport.  So I'd like to know,
is there course "etiquette" or protocol?  I don't mean the kind
written up on the PDGA web site. I mean in the real world when it's
just you and some amateur on the course. If it's not practiced or
taught by the "Pros" how does it get out there.
	 Whew!  At least I got it off my chest.

BECAUSE OUR # OF MEMBERS HAVE GROWN, I SUGGEST WE MAINTAIN RADOM
SATURDAYS EACH MONTH FOR 9AM DOUBLES OR BAG TAG ROUNDS FOR THOSE THAT
MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY TILL 5:30 OR SO. NOT EVERYONE HAS THE LUGUARY
OF GETTING OFF WORK AT 4:30. THEY SHOULD NOT BE LEFT OUT BECAUSE OF AN
EARLY TIME PREFERENCE. MAYBE WE CAN HAVE TWO START TIMES. IE. A 5pm
TEE OFF FOR THOSE THAT ARE ABLE TO START EARLY AND A 5:30 OR SO TEE
OFF TIME FOR THOSE THAT FIT THIS TIME SCHEDULE. BY DOING THIS, MORE
MEMBERS WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE PART. LEAVING MEMBERS WITH A POSITIVE
CLUB EXPERIENCE.

Thanks to all members who helped run the Jelly Store during the Otter
Open. It was a successful weekend and we could not have done it
without the help of Bruce McKinley, Jim Dixon, Deena Hakim, Vanessa
King, Mike Brown, Danny McQuillan and Jeff Witvoet. These devoted
members helped sell discs, accessories, snacks, memberships and/or set
up and tear down the store. We have added 8 new members to the club
this past weekend alone. Our membership is up to 54!

Please do not forget to thank Merle and the CSUMB Disc Golf Club for
their great job on setting up and running the tournament. It was a
truly successful event for all!

    Well I am glad to hear you had a good time playing those courses.
I am in santa cruz, main course I play is Delay. Don't get down to
monterey area as much as I want. Mainly because of money/time, thats
how it goes I guess.

Hey fellow disc golfers, several friends and I have made it out to the
Monterey area to disc golf! I have played the Cypress course twice and
already love it, then recently since you guys have a map of the oaks
course on my 2nd trip to the area we played there as well. Making both
our trips out there a great one! We love both Cypress & the Oaks
course. Keep up the great work and progress!

Thanks again,

Thanks for updating the maps. My friends and I went on Sunday and we
have never played the Oaks course before. Yet this map really helped
us figure things out. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Just in case I don't make it to the Member Meeting tonight, I received
word from Anya Spear, my contact in Campus Planning & Development at
CSUMB, that there are two issues the school club will be dealing with
this semester.

1. Storm Water Run-Off Near Cypress Hole 15

Anya wrote, "Campus Planning and Development is in the final stages of
completing a Storm Water Master Plan (SWMP) for the campus. The plan
calls for some modification (re-contouring) of the Cypress course in
order for the University to percolate its storm water runoff on site,
rather than flowing through the old storm drain system, off site."

I haven't seen the map yet (it's waiting for me in the CPD offices),
but in general this "pond" will be located in and around that parking
lot just north of the tee for Cypress #16. Anya doesn't have the final
contours, but she doesn't think this will affect us.

The Stormwater Management Plan is located here.

http://cdo.csumb.edu/site/x5189.xml


2. Demolition of Old Housing on North Edge of Cypress

Anya wrote, "are you aware we are conducting an environmental
assessment of 155 buildings on campus that will be demolished this
year? These buildings include the abandoned stucco housing along the
Cypress course. The environmental assessment should be done around
March, so demo would take place some time after that."

This is all in support of the new Faculty/Student housing, which will
extend north from edge of the Cypress course and north, towards the
area where they parked cars for the AT&T golf tournment for years. We
can check the progress of that construction at this website.

http://cdo.csumb.edu/site/x9594.xml

You can see a good map of that planned development on page 27 in the
Development Plan portion of the CSUMB Master Plan.

DISCOGRAPHY
ULTIMATE FRISBEE MAKES A BID FOR COMMERCIAL ACCEPTANCE
by Alex Masulis

Failure Magazine
January 2004

Contrary to what you might assume, Ultimate Frisbee wasn't born on the beaches
of sunny
California. It wasn't the brainchild of some particularly athletic hippies. It
wasn't created by
a couple of liberal undergraduates sitting around a Berkeley dorm room. No, the
birth of
Ultimate Frisbee—or Ultimate, as those who play the sport call it—may not be
what you'd
expect. But it's a good story.
