Are you wanting to throw with the pros but just not be contention for the money? Give me a little more on what you're thinking please. Because we ( Dave Glasgow, my wife Terri and Me ) got involved so late with this games, we simplified the classes to what you see on the website and Dave's earlier post. At this late date, we're going to have a challenge to a respectable number of athletes in each of these classes. SAT: MEN'S OPEN MEN'S NOVICE LIGHT WEIGHT (190) SUN: PROS WOMEN'S OPEN MASTERS (40+) I'm not sure we are set up to do anything but these classes this year. If we stay and run these games next year, we'll go to all "normal" classes just like we do at MacPherson. |

Yes I would love to throw with the pros and not be in
contention for any money. I think Spencer Tyler would also be interested. |

At this time, we are only going to have Pros in the Pro division. Please sign up for Mens Open and bring your friends. We really need entries in the other divisions. Maybe next year when we have more time to plan and try new things we could do a Pro-Am. Throw Far! |

Highland Games - The drama is so high, because the stakes are so low.

Hey Matt can't get there in time for Saturdays Open so doing the Masters on Sunday. Might do A's in Joplin if things work out right. I saw some of your workouts on here looks like you had a good off-season.

Hey Mike. Good to hear from you. I plan on hanging around for Sunday, so I'll see you there.
I'm going to have to miss Joplin this year (Daughter's Birthday Party). You going to throw at KC? |
