09-18-2006 - Yetter Recap - 98 Players participate in the 2006 Eric C. Yetter Champion's Cup!!!!

After many years of being a bridesmaid at the Eric C. Yetter Champions Cup , Brian Schweberger finally went to the alter winning $1055 in cash by shooting a 40 under par 223 for an 8 stroke victory over the red hot Mike Moser who was heavily favored to win his fourth Yetter title.  Brian also won a paid berth in the Dragan Disc Golf Championships in Auburn, Maine an affiliated Yetter tourney.  On his way to victory, Schwebie took three of the four layout records, only giving up the Round 2 "B" layout record to Steve Brinster, who was last year's Yetter Champion.  Steve placed fourth in this year's competition in a tie with the BCDGA's own Joe "The Technician" Mela.

It would seem that the second year in a row of the BCDGA Cabinet sponsoring the Pro ladies registration fees (50% last year, 75% this year) is starting to payoff as we had 9 Female Pro entries and 5 Female Amateur entries.  The Ladies' Pro Open Division was won by Carrie Burl Berlogar who had just arrived back in the states after helping lead Team USA to a victory over Team Europe in the Presidents Cup followed by an 8 stroke victory in the European Open.  Great job Burl!  We hope you come back!

BCDGA Cabinet members who finished strong were Rex "Hobie" Hay who took second in the Pro Grandmaster division and Marc Brooks who tied for third in the Advanced AM division.  Tyler State Park regulars Marie and Tim Fry did very well with Marie winning the Advanced Ladies division by nine strokes and Tim finishing second in the Advanced Grandmasters.  In the Advanced Masters division our own Glenn Patterson finished strong in second place.  Other local talent swept the Intermediate Amateur competition where Kyle Dorney, Bob Zdziera, and Stu Kaplan finished 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively.  See what playing League night will do for your game!  Time to move up boys!

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to express my appreciation to each and every one of you who made this event so spectacular. The course was big, mean, beautiful and challenging. Thanks for taking care of the ladies with the starting holes - it's appreciated more than you can imagine. Special thanks to Carolyn Parrish and Jeannie Helseth for the excellent spotting Sunday morning (and Jerry ? too). That alleviated loads of stress (and strokes for lost discs). Thank you to all of your sponsors and for the prize packages (incredible!). The program was beautiful - especially the cover - great picture Ted! The competition was great - I enjoyed playing with and meeting all of you. This was one of the best events I have ever been to and I'm already looking forward to next year. Keep up the good work!

Sincerely,
Marie K. Fry

Dear Andrew,

I wanted to send a big THANK YOU to you, Alan, and everyone in your club involved in putting on such an Awesome event.  Your hard work is greatly appreciated. The course was challenging for my small arm, but it was so much fun. I loved the hay bale hole! I especially loved how well you take care of the womens division. I haven't played in many tournaments, but none have compared to date. I look forward to the Yetter next year, I certainly cannot miss it!

Thanks Again,
Laura Wanderling
