| Nov. 1, 2011 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | have already done my sign up.this is a great camp to attend. |
| Nov. 2, 2011 GaCMan 86 posts | Several of our guys went this camp and had a BLAST last yr. This was a great place to open the season with a lot of ball practice. Just like tournaments also a great place to meet and make new friends. Curt put on a great event for a very reasonable price. I plan to go again next yr as several of my guys do also. Looking forward to FEB see yall there. |
| Nov. 2, 2011 jah#4 Men's 70 576 posts | hey a great place to start the season off the right way. Curt a great guy that alway has a lot of door prizes to give away a Homerun derby and hitting and pitching clinics too. you also can hit till your hands bleed if you would like. |
| Nov. 2, 2011 rfsoftball Men's 50 64 posts | I have been going the last three years. The talk you hear is the truth it's a BLAST. I will be looking for you guys. |
| Nov. 25, 2011 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | just bumping for a good thing,great to go to guys,try it........ |
| Nov. 25, 2011 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | No matter how much fun you have playing ball - this will be the (your) best softball weekend of the year. If you have 1/2 a chance take advantage of what Curt puts together for this one weekend. They usually have a team go play at a local prison that is volunteer and always a worthwhile experience. I've traveled from CA and come back without dissappointment. If you want to be around some fabulous hitters and people this is a must do......... These guys know how to have fun - and if you like BBQ - J'ville is the place to be. Seems like about every other place to eat is a BBQ place. |

| Feb. 16, 2012 surf88 Men's 65 1000 posts | The Classic is a great camp, especially if you want to knock off the rust from a few months of cold weather. You can do it at your own pace as well. What are the dates this year? |
| Feb. 17, 2012 goforit 97 posts | The camp sounds like a great place to work out the cold weather kinks and have some fun. I live in Utah, it would be nice if they put one of these on out west -- maybe in Nevada or Arizona. Have fun everyone and good luck in the upcoming season. John |
| Feb. 17, 2012 CallaVett Men's 50 61 posts | There was a Western Spring Training in Vegas, last weekend. This was the first year there was a western event. |
| Feb. 17, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | CallaVett, Why wasn't it mentioned before, or at least this is the 1st post I have seen it mentioned... I think it could be a big one. Or maybe that is why, too big. |
| Feb. 17, 2012 CallaVett Men's 50 61 posts | I saw it on another message board (SBF). The event primarily targets the younger guys. |
| Feb. 17, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | That would explain it. |

I met some good people (120+) including but not limited to "Mad Dog" , all of the guys all gals had a good time - There was plenty of BP. , A great banquet, lots of tall tales, several late nights, several early mornings - Then the best of all - NO RAIN!!! Sat 75 Degrees Sun 80 Degrees Several prizes were given out at the banquet - the least of all 15-20 Free Bats!!!!!!!!!. Homeruns were plentious - I even witnessed Mad Dog hitting a couple of Taters!! WOW Yes there was a lot of base hitting going on also - Many more games are won by base hitting - Than homeruns!! But it feels good to hit them!!

| Feb. 20, 2012 Gunny2 47 posts | It was really good turn out & like Curt said its our CST you could hit as much as you want or just coast along. Its great for those who don't play a whole lot of league ball, & what is good about this you meat a whole lot of people young & old, slow & fast, and most of all funny. Everyone enjoy the up coming season & be safe. Semper Fi Gunny |

| Feb. 20, 2012 hombre Men's 60 240 posts | I enjoy this event more each year. Of all the things I enjoy, meeting new friends like Gucci, Gunny, and Big D, and visiting with old friends like Curt, Mad Dog, Ray Ray and Bruce, is the best. I don't believe that this event could be duplicated, because it would be almost impossible to find a group that would put in the time and effort that Curt and associates put in for no financial gain. I'm sure anyone who has been to one of the banquets and sees the respect given to the military appreciates what a good group of men and women they are. Thanks again, Curt Hombre Huffman Electric 65's |
| Feb. 20, 2012 gucci904 Men's 50 21 posts | Had a GREAT time too ! I laughed so hard at maddogs antics my cheeks hurt ! It was a pleasure meeting with and talking to you Hombre. I look forward to meeting everyone again next year. Good luck and smooth sailing to everyone this year !!! |

| Feb. 21, 2012 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | Yes, one swinging in the sr hr derby, one about at the 2:00 mark, giving high fives and several in the background of the hr derby's. I wore navy pants with white and Carolina blue side panels, with a navy Woodlawn hitting tee shirt. Tiny must have paid you wife to take multiple pics of him!! Tell your I really appreciate her doing that, it brings back pleasant memories of last weekend. |
| Feb. 21, 2012 Mario Men's 50 451 posts | Who won the senior derby this year? |

| Feb. 21, 2012 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | Mario, Mike Langford won it with 4 out of 8 swings. I was third with 2 I believe. That's what I get for talking him into attending this year! I was surprised that several excellent hitters were unable to get even one. |
| Feb. 21, 2012 salio2k Men's 60 547 posts | Guess you guys weren't using G19 "special bats" |

| Feb. 22, 2012 salio2k Men's 60 547 posts | So sorry that I missed all the fun. For a number of years now, I've heard what 4X4 said, that no matter how much fun you have playing ball, Kurt's Spring Training will be your best softball weekend of the year. Have a great year, guys! |
