Good morning, Worcester!

Just listened to TD Steve's interview on the local AM radio station. Although Steve sounded good and presented disc golf in a positive light, the DJs seemed more interested in perpetuating the pot-smoking, beer-drinking stereotypes of the game. They even threw in some crap about getting girls in bikinis on the course to get more media exposure. Sheesh.

Oh well, any publicity is good publicity I suppose. Rumor is that NPR's Only a Game is next on this press junket.

Pro Women start things off early on Friday

No love for the Pro Ladies this year as they get the early tee times to start off the VO. Becky Terrill, Des Reading, and Jennifer Allen are set to tee off at 7:04 AM! *rubs eyes*

The last four Grandmasters will tee off just a few hours later -- at 3:30!

• Friday tee times

Your time may change, so be sure to check it again later next week.

Housing and rides needed for traveling Vibram Open golfers

The Vibram Open (Aug 13-15) is just around the corner and NEFA is continuing its tradition of offering traveling golfers a free place to crash. But first, we need some empty beds!

Any and all offers are much appreciated, so if you have an extra couch, bed, or even camping space in the backyard, please contact Marcy Borelli (email, 978-496-5753) who is coordinating this.

If you need a place to stay

• Contact Marcy who will try to match you up with a friendly local.

If you are a friendly local with extra space

• Contact Marcy and let her know where you live, what you can offer, and how many golfers you can accomodate.
