Dave Satterfield. I started tournament skiing in 2000. My first tournament was the State Championship and scored a whopping 4 buoys at 15/36! I've been hooked ever since. Was an avid golfer and pretty decent at it. I think I've played 5-6 rounds in 10 years now. lol I started tournament skiing with a great group of guys at Lake Anna in Va. It's a nuclear power plant lake, so I learned to love the warm water. There were many days where the water temp was in the upper 90s. Water skied great! I still ski there some in the winter time as the water doesn't get too cold. Several years ago, I was fortunate enough to catch up with some guys skiing at a lake near my house. Now I consider myself extremely spoiled. I get to ski at one of the best lakes on the east coast and it's a whopping 8 miles from my house. The owner is nice enough to let us ski for free. We just help take care of the property - quite a bit of work. A few years ago, I was getting bored with the typical tournament scene. After a lot of brainstorming and bouncing ideas off my ski buddy, I created the 'Little Dawg' series in Va. Obviously similar to the Big Dawg, but these tournaments are handicapped so the most beginner can compete against our top skiers. I think it has been a huge success and brought fun back to tournaments. I'm a regular driver and regular judge (soon to be senior in both), state safety director and a regular scorer. I have been the tournament director for all of our tournaments including 5 last year. Two of which included night skiing with our own lighted buoys! I'm also on the Nautique promo team. My goal for the next couple years is for our lake to gain more exposure on a national level. I'd love to host a BOS tournament and would be happy to invite any of you that would like to come to one of our other tournaments.
