This weekend out at Circle R Disc Golf Ranch is the last of the Winter Ranch Minis hosted by WDGC!

Sunday February 12th
It will be a two-round, one-day singles event.

Lunch will be available @ $5/person

Entry: $25 Pro
$20 Am
Entry fee includes the $5 greens fee and a $2 ace pot (ctp at end of day if there are no aces)

Sign up by 9:30am. We'll tee off at 10am, break for lunch, then start the 2nd round.

There is NO camping at Circle R right now, due to the burn ban. Normally, camping would be 'included' in your entry, but since there's no camping, we'll have a surprise, thanks to the Circle R staff, for all players who come out.

This event will also be a fundraiser for Tucker (the ranch dog). :D

If you have any questions, please call Patty @ 830-833-1254 or Mitch @ 512-563-6482.

I will really miss out on this one because I have to work Sunday. Dave and I will be there the day before on Saturday. I really need to practice these courses in preperation of Amatuer World Doubles in April.

What weekend is the tournament out at TPCC? The Houck Labs Open (or something like that)...is it the 25-26th of Feb?

Never mind --- I found it:

It's the Hill Country Huck Fest, and it's 2 rounds at TPCC on Feb 25.

You got it. :)

Sunday

High: 63
Low: 34

LOOKS GREAT...come on out

Will the Thursday Minis at Zilker be starting back up on April 6th?
__________________
WATERLOOOOOOOO !

Nope. We're going to be starting a league.
I'll post more tomorrow. :cool:

Hey Lou,
Is it tomorrow yet?
:D:D:D

It's way past tomorrow. The Zilker baskets are scheduled to move to the North side after Easter. The league will start on Thursday, April 20.

It'd be nice if there were a couple of minis the 2 weeks before that using the South course but nobody has committed to running them. Hence the lack of details. :)

Thanks Lou,
I can see how that would be a problem.
:(

what time do think the thur mini's will start ?

No Zilker mini this week on Thursday, Apr 6.

Gordon will run a mini next Thursday (probably 5:30 start) and then the spring Waterleague will begin on April 20. :cool:

This is Great News and thanks to "The Great Gordo" !!! :D:D:D

Sign Up 5:00 � 5:30 pm
Tee Off 5:30 pm

Man, I wish I didn't have to work the next 2 Thursday nights! Kudos to you guys for doing the 1-disc mini.

When I do get the chance, I'll be there with the only disc for Zilker's south side: the DX Roc. :p

I can't wait to see who wins this week, what they shoot and what disc they used....is it Friday yet? ...RESULTS!!! :D

I'll be Buzzzing my way through the course. James McCaine will win.

No, he will lose to Martin Tasker, who, unburdened from the dreadful task of selecting discs and making decisions, will walk up to the box, park his Gremlin, strut back with chest out and proclaim that he wins more money from these disc golf suckas than he does at poker.

My money isn't on James anymore. I forgot that you have to play to win. :p

8 open and 9 ams yesterday.

Open
1 Micah 44 (Aviar)
2 Anthony 45 (Super Roc)
3 Graham 47 (driver? I forgot which one.)

Am
1 Lou 46 (Buzzz)
2 Leon 49 (Spider)
3 Mike B 50 (Beast)
4 Yankee Mike 51 (???)

We'll probably have to do something different next week since the Waterloo merch will be heading to Red Rock for Oktoberfest. Maybe some random draw doubles with a few holes of worst shot thrown in.

Nice shooting Micah--10 down is a solid score with two or three discs even! :DJust curious, candy Avaiar, right?

I'm pretty sure it was DX.

Random Draw Doubles this Thursday (10/5) at Zilker Park.

Sign up at 5:00 P.M. and Tee Off at 5:30 P.M.

Entry fee
$5.00 per person with an optional Ace Pot of $2.00.

***There will be 3 holes of worst shot!***

***There will be 3 holes of worst shot!***



Will there be some Alternate shot mixed in as well?....hell, as easy as that side is, the whole round should be worst shot!!!! ;)

I thought about doing 3 alternate, 3 best score, and 3 worst shot but I don't want it to be too confusing.

Playing holes 1, 2, and 3 worst shot the 2nd time through will be enough. Especially if you draw Gordon and you both need to make the putt. :D

:o :mad:

If Gordon putts with his Buzzz then, his partner won't have to. :cool:

There are still just a few spots available in the 29th Annual Waterloo Disc Golf Classic, Oct 21-22. To register, send in your entry form and money right away (WDGC, PO Box 33531, Austin, TX, 78764). The full tournament info and flyer can be found at the club�s website: www.austindiscgolf.org (http://www.austindiscgolf.org) or email me for a copy ([email protected]).

You can also register tomorrow night at the mini at Zilker, but it might be full by then. We use the postmark to determine the date of entry so mailing it today is better than paying in person tomorrow. We don�t �hold� spots for this tournament, so please don�t ask :D; just mail in your stuff and I�ll get you confirmation as soon as I can.

Oh, and our fundraiser discs for Waterloo are in. They will be for sale at the mini for $20 and they look great!

A picture is on the club's website, but I'm afraid I don't know how to post it here :confused:. Could someone else please do this? Lou?

Oh... this is not the actual disc, but it is the color stamp that is on the discs. They are Elite Z Supercolor Buzzes.

posting for lou who would be posting this for Gordon :D

Pretty cool, I can't tell for sure, but I think the writing along the side says "Mr. Olse, get to work on finishing Manor." or maybe "Pick me, Mister Tasker. Pick me."

Pretty cool, I can't tell for sure, but I think the writing along the side says "Mr. Olse, get to work on finishing Manor."...



Is it 2014 yet?

Pretty cool, I can't tell for sure, but I think the writing along the side says "Mr. Olse, get to work on finishing Manor."...



Is it 2014 yet?



I think it's 2014 days and counting...

Sweet, that's like spring 2012! :D

16 players last night.

1 Jon P / Yankee Mike 41
2 Micah / Anthony 42
3 Alex / Chuck 43
3 Leon / Chris 43

The masses voted and next week the format will be random draw doubles with 9 holes alternate and 9 holes worst shot. Those guys are psycho.

Oh yeah, I drew Gordon and then I was the one that forgot how to putt. Message board kharma kicked me in the nads. We finished at 47.

:D

Actually, I'm pretty sure the group voted for 9 holes best shot and 9 holes worst shot. Should be quite interesting.

A full round of alternating shot was my sick idea :D

Hey, maybe if more holes last night had been worst shot, Lou and I might have won. We birdied 2 of the three holes, and nearly birdied the third. :D

That would be correct. Nine holes of best shot and nine of worst shot. :cool:

The masses voted and next week the format will be random draw doubles with 9 holes alternate and 9 holes worst shot. Those guys are psycho.



Ummm, yeah, I think 9 holes of alt shot mixed with 9 of worst shot is a bit excessive!!!!! That would really reward the most balanced team! I like how the format is changing from week to week...it actually makes the south side interesting!

Random Draw Doubles this Thursday (10/12) at Zilker Park
9 holes best shot / 9 holes worst shot

Sign up at 5:00-5:25 PM and Tee Off at 5:30 PM

Entry fee
$5.00 per person with an optional Ace Pot of $2.00
If no Ace is hit then CTP at the end
Cash pay out with $1.00 per team going to club

"...looks like I'm about 15 feet......you're 12 feet? Ok, we'll have to take mine..."

There's still plenty of 2s on the south side, even in worst shot.

Who's gonna get the worst shot ace on #9? :D

We had clear skies and muddy boxes for yesterday's mini.

Jon P (cali) - 45
Micah / Lou - 47
Anthony / Dan - 47
There was a pair of 49s and a pair of 50s also.

Next week we're doing 1-disc random draw doubles. It'll be best shot the whole way through but each player will have only 1 disc for the entire round.

very cool format for next week Lou! :D

There's going to be a lot of disc retrieving going on with this format. We should start earlier than normal....

Let's try and get started earlier this week...I hate finishing in the dark!!!! Signup until 5pm (this way we can actually tee off about 5:15 and get finished while there's some sunlight left). Whacha think?

Same as last week, Jon. Sign up 5-5:25. Draw at 5:25 and tee at 5:30. It should play quicker without playing worst shot for half the round.

Look for the Waterloo Ranch Minis this winter.

What am I going to do on Thursdays now?! Please let us know when the Wimberly minis will start. I know it's kinda of short notice, but you should have a Wimberly mini the weekend before Texas Teams (Nov 11-12th). You would have a bunch of people show up to play the courses before teams....just think of the fundraising possiblities!

It's a good idea but the LSS is in Twin Parks that weekend.

Is it just me, or is Mike getting just a little bit "happier" each week. He's the one on the right, Right? :D

Just a reminder that this Sunday, December 3rd is the club�s first Winter Ranch Mini of the season: Circle R in Wimberley

And as a special treat, we will be including the 9 brand new holes first introduced for Texas Teams! Don�t miss your opportunity to play these new holes at the Ranch.

The mini will be 2 rounds of singles, all divisions

Sign Up 8:30 � 9:15 am
Tee Off 9:30 am

We�ll play each course once, with a lunch break between the rounds.

Because we are including the new 9-holes, we�ll need to start right on time in the morning, so don�t be late in getting out there.

Also, Patty Justice will be making and selling lunch that day. $5 for a sandwich and chips (and maybe some soup or something hot � not sure about that just yet). And if you remember last year, you�ll know that Patty makes a mean sandwich :D Just sign up and pay for lunch at the same time you sign up for the mini. She may have some extras for those who don�t order in the morning, but if so it will be first come first served.

Entry Fee
$13 per person � All Recreational & Intermediate
$18 per person � All Advanced & Pro

Acepot $2 (optional fee - ctp at the end of the day if no one hits an ace)



Green�s Fee $5 per person � All Divisions

Can we play the "back 40" without maps? :D:D:D
Who is showing up for this one? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
I finally got a Sunday off. :D

scores?????? :D

Only 2 out of 5 open players finished the mini. :o
James McCaine came in 1st and Alex Downs was 2nd by a stroke.

I figured Alex and I must have had some terrible BO cause they were dropping like flies all around us.

Thanks Patty for the hot soup, sandwiches and cookies. Thanks Mitch for running the show and Thanks Zoe for the free artwork.

Lou, who won out of y'all?

I would post the open scores but Alex took the cards with him in protest of being beaten by the "Legend"....I think James was even for the day 135(45 holes) and Alex one back at 136...the other three were not scored :o

Louuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....was your winner with Joe in second...Bert won the CTP for the ace pot

Lou is the man. Slappin Joe around, were ya?

Alex took the cards in protest? :D

He was in his car stewing, but all was correct. I went through it in my head one more time, and am positive of the result.

sounds like some shady golf :D if scores are having to be re-thought after the round is over

27 holes on the Hill and the Back Thumber Course is a lot of golf to play and apparently add. Only real men can complete the whole thing. :D

27 holes on the Hill and the Back Thumber Course is a lot of golf to play and apparently add. Only real men can complete the whole thing. :D



That would include the entire am pool since all 4 of us finished. :D It was really freakin cold up on the Hill.
"The Hill was angry that day, my friends. Like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli."

Lou is the man. Slappin Joe around, were ya?




Hell yeah. Joe is my female dog. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I might be old but you were the one whining about being tired on the last hole !!! :D

I can only think of one reason why 3 of 5 Pros went DNF and it wasn't Alex's BO.
All of the Ams finished just for the fun !!! :cool:

and what would that reason be? also who where the 3 wussies that quit?? Steve H??

and what would that reason be? also who where the 3 wussies that quit?? Steve H??


I would not say that i quit but rather was put on the physically unable to perform list :D

You were also mentally unable to perform your duty as a tv guide: the Cowboys at noon and the Texans on at 3. Sheesh. Never doubt the gray ghost.

At least your boys won. They are officially worrying me. Go Saints!!!!!!!

I will never doubt the Grey Ghost again just as you should never doubt my Boys again. BTW did you see VY do it to the "other" Manning boy, wow I guess the Texans did choose the right player :D

BTW did you see VY do it to the "other" Manning boy, wow I guess the Texans did choose the right player :D



If you mean the Texans were upholding their team philosphy "PLAY SOFT, SUCK HARD"....then you're correct. VY is going to give that Texan's Defense a "Football Colonoscopy" next week!

Vince Young Vince Young Vince Young. I'm really starting to hate one of my favorite players. The Texans are going to get three picks against the second to worst rated passer in the league and the week after that, freaking CBS is still going to show the Titans, but Steve will tell me the wrong gametime, so it won't hurt so much.

That second to worse passer rating quarterback has a 5 and 4 record and the last time I checked that's all that matters, unless your one of those moral victories kind of guys. That being said you can feel good with your moral victory of intercepting VY twicw while Vince improves the only real record that matters to 6 and 4 :D
And just to rub salt into your wounds the Cowboys will be 9 and 4 but you go ahead and bask in your moral supremacy. Of course I will not see any of this because I will miss the game due to bad information /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I said three picks. The third pick ensures a Texans win. No moral victories needed. Of course, I won't see it, as I plan on playing golf in Tyler during it all. Oh, one more thing, the Cowboy game is saturday night (don't be confused by those commercials promoting a sunday night game....that is just for the east coast).

good time on your last post mccaine :D

dont get me started on the cow girls . they are losing this saturday and Sunday night :o:eek:

Gonzales Texas New Year Day singles AM $7 PRO $10, for dubs AM $14 per
team and $20 per team for the PROs that keeps it under $20 for the day. Sign ups at 10:30 start shortly after.

Greatest Pro Shop anywhere !!! :D

Where and when will the next one be ?

bump



dont get me started on the cow girls . they are losing this saturday and Sunday night

just like them scarlet hids
couple more wins and they 2 can have a winning record

Hey Vin. Go into the Lodga forum there I'm starting a bagtag challenge and I am having to deal with some Whinning! Go rattle it up please! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Hey RT, How have the mini's been going. I've got something in SA tomorrow afternoon, so I'll be at Univ. City in the morning. See you there.

Allright partner!

I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas!!! :cool:

Dave and I are heading out today for some practice and lunch at Juan Enrique's... Yuuummmm !!! :D
Oh yeah, and a wine tasting at Driftwood winery. Should be a great day and the warmest this week.

Waterloo Disc Golf Club's Winter Ranch Minis continue.

Moody�s Disc Golf Country Club

Sunday January 14, 2007

The mini will be 2 rounds of singles, all divisions
Sign Up 8:30 � 9:15 am
Tee Off 9:30 am

One hour lunch break, and then start the second round.

Entry Fees
$13 per person � All Recreational & Intermediate
$18 per person � All Advanced & Pro

Acepot - $2 (ctp at the end of the day if no one hits an ace)

Greens Fee - $5 per person � All Divisions

so the payout is $ 11 in open or is that $18 plus 5 plus 2??

$18 to the Pro or Advanced payout
$5 to the greens fees
$2 to the ace pot

For Pro/Advanced, it's $23 total to play. $25 if you want in on the ace pot.

yikes a $25 mini too steep for me . Ya'll have fun

But it is essentially a one-day, 2 round tournament. I would think that $25 (which includes both greens fees and ace pot) would be pretty reasonable for pro and advanced, or maybe even a bit low.

No?

both greens fees

there is more than 1 green fee? so there is a green fee per round? :confused:

:o

no, only 1 greens fee (of course)

yikes a $25 mini too steep for me . Ya'll have fun



I can see it being too high for some players but it's kind of funny to see it coming from someone willing to pay $30 for 18 holes of skins. :p

:D yea but skins I knew what tee boxes I was playing from. ALL LONGS AT THE ROCK!!!!!

It's a two round, one-day event. $25 seems reasonable. I'd bet we play one from white and one from blue, but I'm not in charge. All I know is that I owned Olse and Hemme at the last ranch mini I played, and am hoping for a repeat. :D

By the way you make it sound you are always hammering those youngsters...is this true Mikey and Hemme, does the legend OWN you guyzzz er what?

Wanna play buck a stroke James? I'm thinking I want to play this...

I don't always own them, but when I do, you'll hear about it. :p

I'll play a buck a stroke on the round from the whites. You'll own me from the blues.

Your on James...I'll make sure to bring a couple of ones for change :p

Oh yeah...
Mike will also be collecting PDGA/Waterloo renewals on Sunday. If you'd like to join or renew your PDGA membership through Waterloo, you'll get a $5 discount. Fill out and take THIS FORM (http://www.austindiscgolf.org/Membership/ACP07MemberMerch.pdf) with you or you can fill one out there. The next bundle will be mailed to the PDGA next week.

Apparently Mike Olse had been practicing that XL cover pose for quite some time. Here's a wedding photo.
http://www.amoa.org/images/content/pagebuilder/33839.jpg

I'm gonna have to make an appointment with the Chiropractor after seeing that !

The Ranch Mini at Moody's has been postponed until Sunday, January 21 due to the weather forecast. Let all your friends without computers know. :)

so come on out to Round Rock where the grass is green and the mud is scarce if you still want to play tee off at 10:00 random draw dubs.

The Ranch Mini at Moody's this Sunday, Jan 21st is ON!!! :D

Olse will be there running it and challenges everyone to come on out and give him a hard time. :D

Looks as if he had enough of a hard time already. ;)

The weather is supposed to be really nice tomorrow. Weather.com says the rain will stop overnight / early in the morning and the temp should get up into the 60s.

Beautiful day for some ranch golf! :D

Everyone played the white tees in the morning and the blues in the afternoon.

Enter the main gate and take an immediate right (please be sure to close the 2nd gate behind you), and follow the road to the clubhouse.

If you have a Twin Parks CC �free day pass� (these were in player�s packs at recent club tournaments), you can use it in place of the $5 greens fee.

As a special treat, an alternate 9 holes has been set up, near the main house I think. In the morning, everyone will play the Shire course. After lunch, everyone will play twice around the new 9-hole course. The Hill course won�t be played at all this time.

These same 9 holes will be used at the Huck Fest tournament in a few more weeks, so this is a great chance to come practice them.

Hope to see you there,
Gordon

Yes, The 9 Special Double Secret Holes are around the House.

Some short yet jailhouse baskets.

Everyone will enjoy them.

I think that is called the corporate course

Actually.... it's called the "Parkcrest" course. I was told that this will be a "members only"
disc golf course. The tee box for #1 is on the back deck of the big house. Great veiws up there !!!
I scared a jackrabbit on the way to the green on #6. See ya tomorrow. :D

Found this at Twin Parks today..... :D

I'm assuming WaterLOU will be at Zilker today for doubles, right? It's such a beautiful day, how could you not play golf?

Great turnout...

15 Teams, Paid out top 4

There were two -14's and two -13's....can't remember names as there were a lot of new faces. I believe we're doing doubles for one more week at Zilker (Thursday, April 12th)...hopefully the course will be on the north side by then. Remember, Waterleague starts April 19th!!!!!! The ace pot is already approaching $100...if no one hits it next week, it will roll over to Waterleague.

Tuesdays at Pease hasn't been happening the last few weeks... I think some are still playing dubs out there at that time though

thanks for the heads up :)

Lucky me, got the day off today! Are peeps still getting together at Pease on Tuesday afternoons? What time?

Rob, I have heard the organized Tuesday minis at Pease are done. There may some disorganized thing going on there.

I had heard that... :(

I was referring to the disorganized thing--I played some dubs out there on a Tuesday like a month or two ago when the mini didn't happen....good times.... /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Well, I got 5 bucks......I'm headed down to Pease :p :D

WHAT!
disorganized golf in Austin?
what about circle c?......NOPE
Bart?.....nope
maybe something organizes in Manor?......Nope
Man I am glad I live in ROUND ROCK!
James McCain....time to buy again....call scott

As it turns out, there were 7 other guys out there with 5 bucks so even if you can't always get what you want....

...you can get what you need! :D&lt;== hi James

I agree Vin, a mini at Circle C would be cool.....oh wait, it's on Sunday morning....

Lou said the 5 missing holes are going back in at Bart this month....maybe a mini will pick up there again with all the holes in....

Believe me, IF I could make it fit my permanent schedule, I'd step up and take the reins on Tuesday's at Pease and/or Wednesdays at Bart. Unfortunately, I don't have those nights off, and I don't deal merch so I could only take the money and do the payout for one division....

Manor deserves its own post. :D

Beautiful, challenging course that is now PLAYABLE if you have a portable basket....tee pads and baskets within the next month or two from what I've heard.....I realize the myth of Manor has been brewing for a while now, but having thrown the lines once, I'm JONESING!!! Anybody who wants to have an impromptu mini out there, LET'S DO IT!! :D

Waterloo DGC will be taking over the Pease Park Saturday minis starting tomorrow, Dec 29th.

I'll try to be out there by 9:30. Sign up by 10:00 at the latest. I'll send cards out shortly after.

Way to go Lou!

Singles at Wilco this Sunday!!!!....start at 9:30 !

What is the fastest way to get from Garfield to Wilco without paying a toll? :mad::confused:

71 to 35 to 1431 cr 175

sad thing is that you end up paying the difference in gas going the long way; not to mention that the course will probably be closed when you get there. :D

So, what is the point? I think I'll just keep going to Twin Parks.

exactly!,or Kyle :D,I've called the phone # for the Wilco course and some guy was like "yes its open!" drove all the way up from Wm Cannon and Brodie about 45 min get there and the course is closed.So now I dont even play that course at all.

how about some scores???

how about some scores???



57, 61, 52 and 55

Is that enough? I can find more if you like. :p

so i guess you were the 61. ;)

56 for me :)

Handsome Tom Peirce on the message board again? Holy......! Welcome back to the land of those with too much time on their hands.

CWare, I won't be typing up the mini scores.

Thanks Lou. I will try and keep my poss concise and relevent....but remember, I am no James McCain :)

make that "posts", not "poss"...what a dolt.

CWare, I won't be typing up the mini scores.



how about just who gets paid and the # of players each week. might help some decide if its worth coming out to play. thanks :D

seeing all that tye dye is worth it alone

Thanks Lou. I will try and keep my poss concise and relevent....but remember, I am no James McCain :)



Irrelevency is underrated.

Chris, there were twelve open players and another foursome starting after them consisting of a ten-year old girl, a homeless guy wearing a seahawks cap, and the two fairies who posed for y'alls logo. :p

Fourteen of those people would have beat you, but the round rock models had never played a course with trees. You would have beat them.

and the two fairies who posed for y'alls logo. :p




and by faries you mean Dragons right :p

donkey mccaine donkey :D

Thinking about wearing some tye dye tomorrow, might help shave a few strokes... :)

doubt it :D

you were correct. 56 again. Coolness factor increase by a factor of 3....:O

CWare, I won't be typing up the mini scores.



how about just who gets paid and the # of players each week. might help some decide if its worth coming out to play. thanks :D

15 pros - 6 paid / 15 ams - 7 merched

15 pretty good turnout. nice lame way to get around what I was asking but thanks anyways slacker :D so does the ace pot build or CTP after each round???

You wouldn't have won. Joel shot 47.
You wouldn't have come in 2nd either. Justin shot 49.
Last cash was Cooper with a 57 or 58.

Great turnout this weekend; thanks Lou for getting this classic mini back up and running!!! :D

Oh yeah, ace pot is now at $110.

thank you Lou

Rumor has it that a certain "Hitman" will be attending the Pease mini tomorrow. He requests that you bring your game and a satchel full of attitude.



I suggest wearing something warm. :p

can we get that weak update you call scores??? :D

Great turn out on Sat; 18 open, 18 advanced, and 1 intermediate. Joel Kelly wins open with 48. Brad Granier wins advanced with 52.

The ace pot is at $282. It'll be capped at $300 and we'll start building a backup ace pot.

nice turnout. so the ace pot carries they use to CTP it on saturday after the round if not hit. good to know. thanks LUUUUU

18 open. Nice. Was there a Hemme? Did he cash.

Chris, get your donkey down there and win some cash to pay your Gonzales entry fee. :p

Steve was spotted with a disc golf bag at Pease. He didn't cash. I think he got too caught up in challenging all the other players to a race.

He just needed more rounds. Hell, 18 holes is a dash. An old man can win it, and usually does. He needs more holes, where that stamina and endurance can kick in. He didn't lose, he just ran out of holes. ;)

It's true the bag came out of the car for the 2nd time this year. It had some dust on it but most of the disc still worked, the putter seemed to have problems though. Sunday is race day then all I need is for Manor to finish and I'm back. See y'all soon

Mmmmm......you said the "M" word........

Manor?
What�s going on in Manor?
Have yah changed the Waterloo meeting to the 290 cafe?
Is James taking Mike O on a field trip to Manor Downs?
Did Waterloo club adopt a piece of HW 290? (Be kind of cool to see �next 2 miles adopted by the Waterloo Disc Golf Club")
What yah doin in Manor :confused:

Where the hell have you been? Do you live in a cave or something? :D

Manor is home to a third-rate horse track; a first-rate cafe; and a fabled disc golf course, which is SUPPOSEDLY nearing completion, but that rumor has been around for years.

Mr. Olse designed the course. I have seen about 14 of the holes and it will be an absolute jewel, assuming it actually gets open.

Really, Mike is hoping it opens within a month. Really.

Disc Golf in Manor!!!! Your kidding right? That would be cool......who is doing the construction...... B.Knight construction :eek:
Will the tee pads be tye dyed???????
Let us know.

It is a County park. I think Mike originally had the youth works corps (or something like that) doing a lot of the work. He did a tremendous amount himself and had a core of devoted helpers. Dan Mueller and Chris Cain come to mind. Now, I think Mike and the County folks are doing most of the pads and sleeves work.

Where the hell have you been? Do you live in a cave or something? :D



I think it was really 'under a rock or something'. :D

Brad Granier is running the Pease Saturday mini for the next 2 weeks.

We received some Champ TeeBirds and Firebirds yesterday for those that have been asking for 'em.

The ace pot is still at $282.

a "lou" update . :D

"15 open -1 wins you would not have beat them"

Funny guy!

Yes, 53 was the best score in open on Saturday but I wouldn't have told you that you couldn't beat that. That was only when Joel Kelly shot around 47. I'll give you a little bit of respect and say you can beat 53. Jon P may disagree since none of the other 14 open players there were able to do it.

James McCaine, sorry for ruining your round. If a mando or OB line is on the tee sign, it is in effect for the minis.

I'll give you a little bit of respect

thanks :D

Anybody seen Hugh "Mr. Love" Pickett around? Desperately trying to reach him and his ph#s changed on me - so could someone tell him to call his doubles partner please?

512-779-8310

JD, is he your doubles partner for State or World Dubs? If it's World he'll probably be at the Pease mini Sat morning. If it's State, you'll probably see him before I will.

I'll have entry forms for the Texas Women�s Championship at the Pease mini on Saturdays.

I'll also have tickets for the TWC raffle. They are $1 a piece for a chance to win a Lightning basket and lots of other prizes. You won't have to be present to win but you will need to possess the ability to write your name and phone number legibly on the back of the ticket.

Smokin' Joe took down the $300 ace pot hitting hole 3 yesterday. The back up ace pot is up and running and at $98 to start next week.

11 pros, 54-57 cashed
7 ams, 57-60 merched

You mean Joe got an ace and still couldn't break par? :p

Congrats Joe. Skip shot I assume?

Any plans for Zilker Minis before Waterleague starts up?

Hey, Mike. I'm not sure who will be available to run it. I'll have to get back to you on that one.

It is as cart friendly as it ever was.

That would have won our card. Ben shot the best with a 54. Bagger. Congrats again on the ace.

Entry Fees
Experienced Players - Pro and Amateur $10

The Arbor Day festivities begin at 10am and include tree planting, educational booths, children�s activities, performance by Bill Oliver, and food.

The 1st 100 volunteers will receive a free 5 gal Oak tree.

Email [email protected] to RSVP as a volunteer for the tree planting.

Additional information is available at http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/parks/arborday.htm

Who is Bill Oliver and what kind of shots does he throw? :p

Arbor day. Bunch of Austin hippies. I am just curious: why all the tree planting in a park. I mean, the word "Park" used to be synonymous with "open space" or a place where people could freely play in. Bart has plenty of trees, plenty of shade and enough open space to attract users to burn calories, rather than just stare at trees, admire the native grasses, or just burn a couple away from prying eyes. It already has a good mix for everyone. Were any of the park users clamoring for more trees? I would bet a million bucks that the 90% of the normal park users out there never said "Wow, we need more trees out here." It was probably an old dog walker or a young hippie that wrongly assumed that "the world would be better off if that park I've never used, or will use, had some more trees."

In short, there have to be places in Austin where there is actually a need for trees, can't they "fix" those places first?

Rant off. I think the heart of my animosity is that I really distrust Austin environmentalists.

In short, there have to be places in Austin where there is actually a need for trees, can't they "fix" those places first?




Not sure about that but I do know a place in Round Rock that could use them :D

<-------middle finger swelling

Maybe instead of trees we can plant tobacco. Then we could get
some of the Austin hippies to roll some cigars for "The Legend" who
is frequently spotted in such areas.

REMINDER
Plant a tree (James is exempt) and play disc golf tomorrow.

That's the spirit. **** fine idea. ;)

Let's all celebrate Arbor Day and throw some plastic into the trees!
Sorry I wont be able to help this weekend, I will be in East Texas.... hope you have a good turn out with the City Of Austin.
~Troy

was arbor day a success ? scores? :D:eek: :p

Thank y'all for planting trees. There are lots of new ones and it will help the park.

However, planting trees right in the middle of where people sometimes play volleyball makes little sense. I'll just chalk it up as an indication that those choosing locations didn't know how people utilize the park. But, what the hell, those volleyball players can now look at trees. Some people prefer that to exercise.

272 trees were successfully planted. 5 of those were done by Mike Olse and myself. It is disappointing that only 2 disc golfers showed up for the tree planting. I don't see how PARD can take us seriously when disc golfers for the most part just want and take but don't make time to give back.

3 pros and 4 beginners showed up for the mini. 1 of the pros left when it looked like there would only be 2 of them and another was about 10 minutes late after the card had already teed off. I went to watch the Longhorns so I have no idea how they scored.

thank you Lou and Mike for what you guys do with Austin golf. sorry I did not make it. too much VODKA on friday arg /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Not to start up with things, but the tree planting had nothing to do with benefiting disc golf, so I don't why PARD should expect disc golfers to show up in droves. Do they expect us to help plant trees at other parks in Austin?

Sorry for the attitude. I know that the Waterloo Board members have relationships with the City and understand that the those relationships are critical. It is probably the mature stance. However, I think a lot of other disc golfers see the City as one gigantic hindrance, going out of their way to impede disc golfers. I realize it is immature, but imo, those people are not people worth appeasing. It always seems like a one-way street with them, and I don't like the direction that street goes.

You're right that the tree planting had nothing to do with disc golf. It was just about giving a couple hours to a park where the disc golf course covers over half of it. It was about the Club dealing with Forestry quite a bit and having them do stuff that we need or want done. It was about Forestry running an event that was important to them and wanting the disc golfers to be a part of it. They had the silly idea that since we make such a big deal about trying to get the redesign approved and having the course back to 18 holes that disc golfers might care about the park as a whole instead of just their designated areas. I'm sure that department feels like they're on the wrong end of a one way street.

That seems like spin to me. I heard it was intiated by "keep Austin green" or something like that. Really, a lady that lived nearby intiated it. The idea had nothing to do with disc golf. I never heard the project being sold up front as "let's help the city so they will tolerate us and let us exist."

All I ever hear about Bart is that it is going to go, you can redesign, then you can't, you can't put the other holes back in, you can't have fairways here, or boxes there. I never hear "Hey, we are the parks and would like to work together with you on improving our assets."

So, the forestry department, or whatever department which impedes every disc golf effort (from my vantage) and continues to chip away at what is already there, is now offended because disc golfers didn't embrace their effort.

I'm sorry to express this, because I know y'all have to deal with them, but from my point of view, it kind of feels like if you don't cower to them, or kiss their butt, after they spit on you of course, then it is somehow bad form.

You're welcome to your beliefs but if you look back to when we first began discussing the Bart redesign, you'll see that Forestry (aka the tree trimmers) has indeed been working with us to improve the disc golf courses.
http://discussion.pdga.com/msgboard/showflat.php?Cat=0&amp;Number=799138&amp;Main=505884#Post7 99138

No one from PARD commented on the lack of disc golf volunteers. That was my personal disappointment and probably my fault for not selling it correctly. I should have said that for every tree you plant, a freshman Longhorn DB gets his wings.

You see forestry and PARD and some other city division; I just see "The City," or more accurately, I see red. I admit my position is ignorant of the facts, I'll try to be more discerning.

Does the "Forestry" show up to help with disc golf events?

They participate in workday efforts; usually by meeting with one of the club reps earlier in the week and taking care of their part before the other work is done.

They do not help run any tournaments.

Either I had some bad breakfast tacos or this thread is making me sick to my stomach. Lou, thanks for going out there and planting trees at Bart. I'm glad that you, and Osle, are out there kissing [censored] and getting crapped on by the city. I'm sorry that's what you gotta do, but I'm glad that someone is doing it for the rest of us. I am sorry I was unable to come out and help you kiss [censored] for the good of the club and discgolf in Austin. I do know the way the city works from our other ventures in the city so I'm glad that you are sacrificing your time, energy and effort for the rest of us. You know what, I think I'm going to head outside and hug a tree because I'm glad that there are little saplings growing out of the ground at Bart. I'm glad that someone did their part for arbor day, I mean that's what you supposed to do, right? Plant a tree. When you finally get fed up with dealing with the city, and they pull the course out, then where will McCain practice? I know a place in RR that doesn't have many trees. Maybe Wells Branch is closer. In the mean time keep on doing what your doing, Lou. At least some of us appreciate it. Also, I'm in no means calling you out, McCain. I just want Lou to know that his selfless giving for the rest of us is not unnoticed.

LOU FOR PRESIDENT!!! seriously lou you have been an incredible asset for austin disc golf. thank you so much for your tireless efforts!

I don't mind being called out, as I surely deserve it. If it appears that I don't appreciate Lou and Mike's efforts, well, I do. Also, I am fully aware what they and the club leaders and volunteers do for me, and I appreciate that as well. Don't take disagreement as lack of support.

That being said, I know and respect both of them enough to speak my peace. Trust me, it will not be the last time they hear my opinion about Bart and the Parks Department.

I wouldn't have it any other way. Can we have a group hug now? Maybe a menage with a tree in there too?

When I left, Keno was right next to the basket. Did El Chile make it?

Maybe he "shuffleboarded" Keno's disc out of the way. :D

Congrats to both on some timely holiday cash!

His slid right up to the pole. Not as pretty as Ken's, but about $150 more effective.

$130 as I got $20 :) ROUND ROCK!!!!!!

For anyone interested. There is still an informal "mini" at Pease on saturday mornings at 10:00. The mini will be there on saturdays when Waterloo is not holding the first-of-the-month mini at courses around Austin. The mini has been open-only, $10, no acepot.
