Like seewhere said, the Club began running the Saturday morning mini at Pease Park at 10am. I'm out there by 9:40 to start taking sign ups.

The key to joining the club is a simple sign up form and a small fee to help us do what we do.

This announcement isn't a club event, but it still classifies as an event, and so I will put it here. Actually, I am too **** lazy to create a new thread, buttttttttttttt

Steven Hemmeline completed the Austin Marathon.

Now you ask why on earth this is an event. Well, I hear marathons are a long way, and more importantly, it means that not all disc golfers are out of shape bums. :p

Congrats Hemmeline.

48 hours is about how long it took me to get up the stairs at my apartment post marathon. I leave disc golf for 6 months to train for this marathon and who is the first person I see when I cross the finish line, Dave Moody. Thanks James for walking down to the corner of your street to watch me as I limped along Red River, that was truly inspirational :D

Being tired of having no place to sit, I transfered most of the timber from the bench on 13's old tee box to the new locale. Unfortunately the inspiration that so easily came when building the bench on 14 (yes, I did that, no thanks necessary) has eluded me on this one - even after enlisting the aid of my favorite fungus. The wood is there, the hard labor part is done, now I just need one of you artistic/engineering types to finish it up. If you want a strong back to help just hit me up. I'm there every day. Does anyone know who built the bench on 2 at Circle C? Maybe he/she could give me a lesson.

I'll be there today trying to figure something out in case anyone wants to lend a hand! Consider it an open-source bench project.

Hello to All You Disc Golfers With Kids,

Tomorrow - Saturday, May 10th - the Barnes & Noble in Bee Caves (just west of Austin, around Hwy 71 and RM 620) will be hosting an event celebrating the release of the new book:
The Battle of the Labyrinth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series #4) by Rick Riordan. They are looking at making it a very fun event with a number of activities, one of which is DISC GOLF :D

Jay & Des Reading will be there introducing kids and their families to disc golf, giving one of their excellent EDGE demonstrations. Todd Golden will be there as well; all helping promote and grow the sport and spreading the word about Waterloo Disc Golf Club as well.

The full event is from 11 am � 2 pm, and the disc golf part will be going on between noon � 2 pm. Everything will be taking place in their big outdoor amphitheater area. Grab your kids and come on out for a great time.

Reading and disc golf: 2 things all kids need to do more of!

The 18th Annual Capital of Texas Open (COTO) is this weekend at Pease Park. It is now part of the Team Justice HOTT series and looks to be a fantastic event. Doubles are tomorrow (Friday), flex tee off from 1 pm � 5 pm, bring your own partner, $30 per team, you don�t have to be in the main tournament to play Doubles.

Click here for their website with lots of cool info: http://www.teamjusticediscgolf.com/COTOentryo8PLAYERSLIST

The course took some serious hits by the weather last night, and will need some clean up tomorrow to be ready for the weekend. If you can help, contact Mitch Justice at (830) 392-6060.

Even though we aren�t running it any more, Waterloo Disc Golf Club continues to be involved in COTO. We will be <font color="red"> giving away TWO BASKETS </font> this weekend.

We�ll have one basket as the grand prize in our raffle . We�ll also have lots of other cool prizes. Tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5. We�ll be selling tickets Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We�ll draw the winners Sunday afternoon/evening. You do not need to be present to win.

We�ll give away the other basket at our putting game . We�ll have 3 putting positions with 4 putts from each spot. It only costs $1 to play with the highest point getter winning the basket. You can play as many times as you�d like. We�ll have this set up Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at the park, plus hopefully at the Saturday night player�s party.

Finally, we�ll be having a membership drive: $10 off a Player Membership (normally $20) and $15 off a Supporting Membership (normally $40). That means you can join the club this weekend for as little as $10.

We�ll also be available for all existing members who want to renew their membership for 2008 or beyond. Plus we�ll have an extra bonus gift from Disc Nation for everyone who renews their membership.

So come on down to Pease Park this weekend for a great disc golf time. Even if you aren�t playing, there will be lots to do and some great golf to watch. The Pro�s final 9 holes on Sunday afternoon should be excellent to see.

Do you have a day free next weekend? How about two days, or even three? :D

Team Justice�s big finale of their HOTT series is next weekend, Nov 8th &amp; 9th out at Circle R in Wimberley.

If you aren�t playing and have some free time, they could use some extra staff help. Mitch &amp; Patty give a lot of their time, love, and energy to our sport (and they both did so even long before they started up their tour), so this is a great opportunity to thank them and help them out by giving some of your own time and energy to support disc golf.

If you have Saturday or Sunday free, or both, please contact them. Or maybe even Friday (I�m not sure if they could use some extra help that day with set-up, checkin, and doubles, but possibly � contact them and find out)?

call (830)-392-6060 or
e-mail: [email protected]

I�ll be out there staffing all day Saturday and Sunday; I hope to see you there either as a player or a fellow staff member.

Thanks!
Gordon

Rob Hecht sent me the following yesterday...

hello waterlooians:
long-time austin resident and disc golfer steve conner, waterloo disc golf club member #99, is facing serious health concerns. he has been placed on the "short-list" to receive a liver transplant. steve is facing, as you might imagine, quickly-mounting medical billings. his family, friends and golfers are gathering this saturday, november 8th, to help steve offset these obligations. the event will be at a gorgeous location, hudson's bend's la hacienda resort on lake travis starting at 1p with complimentary bar b q, live music and flowing kegs...all a golfing brother might need on a fall weekend in the hill country. there will also be a mobile blood bank truck onsite for your life-giving donation. a silent-auction has many attractive items, and monetary donations are also welcome.
thank you for considering steve's situation in these tight economic times. we hope to see you at the lake.
(for details a/o directions: la hacienda resort, 5320 hudson bend road, 512.266.8001)

Hello Disc Golfers,

In addition to the Waterloo monthly mini this Saturday at Kyle, there is also a lot more going on. It is a great day to pitch in and help out at Austin�s Parks, thanks to the Austin Parks Foundation�s It�s My Park Day. At the bottom of this email is some info about it, and there are lots of projects that still need helpers.

One project near and dear to our hearts is the work at the Searight disc golf course, hosted by S.A.D.A.. From the list of activities on the APF website is this description:

Mary Moore - Disc Golf course maintenance and celebration
March 07, 2009
9:00 AM - 1:00 PM

We will be removing invasive plants as well as mulching the disc gold course. There are NO dogs allowed and a limited number of children with their parents will be permited. Special activities include live music and food

After the work day, SADA is having a general meeting, all are welcome to attend. Email [email protected] if you have any questions.


There is also a project at Bartholomew Park, that includes some clean up of the creek.


The Waterloo Club did not do an �It�s My Park Day Project� this year at Circle C because that project is nearing completion, and we are waiting on the city to do a bit more before we go in for our final stuff. There will likely be just one or two more workdays later this month.

There are also big tournaments in Victoria (though I think it is full) and in Wichita Falls (Josh Dann, 214-868-2996, [email protected])


It will be a great weekend to get out and play disc golf, help disc golf, and help out all our wonderful parks! More info from APF is directly below.

Thanks,
Waterloo Disc Golf Club


It's My Park! Day is this Saturday, March 7
Register by Thursday at 8:30 AM to get a free It's My Park! Day tee shirt. There are still 45 projects in need of volunteers! See the full list at www.austinparks.org (http://www.austinparks.org), or choose from the projects below.
Projects in Special Need of Volunteers
Gus Garcia Trail Project
Volunteers will be assisting PARD with a major trail building project and picking up litter that has accumulated near the creek's edge and through out the park. 40 volunteers still needed!
Dottie Jordan Park
Note: this project is from 12 - 3 pm. We will be cleaning the creek, spreading dillo dirt, manicuring overgrown landscaping, and there will be an art project for kids. 25 volunteers still needed.


Guerrero Park clean up
Pick up trash in the park and in the Country Club Creek. Also cut back invasive plants in the park and along the creek. 30 volunteers still needed.
Joslin Park's First It's My Park! Day Event
Help new park adopters get off the ground by participating at Joslin Park. They will be weeding, raking, and picking up trash. 15 volunteers needed.
Palm Park Fence Installation
Join volunteers from Texas Gas Service to install a cedar rail fence to keep cars off the grass, pick up trash, and plant wildflowers. Families welcome. 10 volunteers still needed!
Mayfield Park and Preserve invasive plant removal
We will continue with our efforts removing invasive plants at Mayfield Park and Preserve. This will involve cutting ligustrum, dragging brush to a chipping area and removing cats claw. 30 volunteers still needed.

In addition to the club monthly mini and the SADA work day at Searight (and the rest of the Parks Foundation�s �It�s My Park Day� projects), plus the out-of-town tournaments, there is also some work going on at Pease Park in Austin tomorrow.

The group from Eeyore�s that made some attempts at some erosion control efforts a few weeks ago at Pease will be back there tomorrow for some more work, much of it re-doing what was originally done � though hopefully doing it better this time.

To assist in the work being done in a more appropriate way, and to help with the work in general, we really need some disc golfers there to help. Lou Moreno (one of the Waterloo Club�s Board Members) will be there, but others are needed too.

One of the reasons the original work wasn�t done in a great way was that there were no disc golfers there to help direct and advise (and then much of what they did was later moved/undone by the golfers). We had met with them prior to the project, but had no one there the day of the work to help work with, direct, and advise the crews. (Of course, much of that is because we were having our own workday at Circle C that morning)

This time we hope to do so. We know it is a busy weekend for disc golf, but if you have a couple of hours on Saturday morning, please go down to Pease to help out. Again, being down there on Saturday morning is your chance to give input on where these erosion controls go, so that they work with the course, not against it. We know that these solutions aren�t perfect, and likely won�t be permanent, but they will hopefully help some (in the vein of �some erosion help there is better than nothing).

Works starts at 9:00 am and will continue for a few hours.

Holes #12, #13, and #14 will be closed during the morning while the work is going on.

Thanks,
Waterloo Disc Golf Club

We just found out last night that our deadline to get people signed up for World�s Biggest through the Waterloo Club has been extended all the way until Tuesday, April 29th. World�s Biggest is just a couple of weeks away, so grab some friends and get signed up for this great event. And by doing it through the Waterloo Club, you�ll be helping us raise some much needed funds for the brand new Circle C tee signs at the soon-to-reopen Circle C course.

World�s Biggest: Saturday May 2nd at Circle R Ranch and Sunday May 3rd at Zilker Park

Below are two emails we sent out about the deal�

Again, new deadline for signing up (and paying) through the Club: Tuesday, April 29th
For questions or to turn your stuff in, contact Laura Hovey at [email protected], or (512) 323-2823.

Thanks,
Waterloo Disc Golf Club
-----------------------------------------------------------------

After sending out the email yesterday about the World�s Biggest deal for the club, we got some feedback from people wanting to know how to hook up with others interested in taking part in the deal.

So there is now a �discussion thread� set up on the club�s web site (www.austindiscgolf.org) where you can go and get together with some other players to make up the 4-some preregistration groups. As a side note: the 4 of you don�t have to coordinate to play together at the same time, or even at the same course; you just have to get together enough to get the form filled out and your entries paid.

The direct link to that thread is: http://www.austindiscgolf.org/index.php?name=Forums&amp;file=viewtopic&amp;t=51 (it is in the Community Forum Section, under �General�)

You don�t have to be a club member to post on the web site, but you do have to sign up as a site user. Very easy and quick to do, with no obligations or risks that we�ll �sell� your email address; - we�d never do that!

You also don�t have to be a club member to be part of a 4-some. In fact, one of the big points of World�s Biggest is to get new people involved in the sport. If each club member got 3 new disc golfers out there, and even just 1 or 2 of them got hooked on the sport, we�d have tremendous growth in the disc golf scene.

Remember there is a rapidly approaching deadline of April 1st to take part in this and help the club raise funds for the Circle C project.

The club will then turn in all the information and money to Circular Productions. CP will make up the packages and get them back to the club, and we will then distribute them to you either before the event or at the event.

The club will receive some money for each 4-some that does this; and we can use it to help pay for all our re-construction work and the brand new awesome tee signs out at the Circle C course. This is a great chance for you to help with our fundraising and course improvements.

Plus, here is what you�ll receive for helping:

Anyone who brings 3 players becomes an Official Individual Host for World�s Biggest.

When an Individual Host signs up themself plus 3 other players, they get:

1. Upgraded player package for themself (Sirius or Supersoft disc instead of DX) � upto a $10 value
2. A limited edition Official Supporter WB Custom Disc � Priceless!! $18-$20 Value
3. Possibly other goodies from any sponsor Circular Productions comes up with. Right now they are not sure what, but they are working on it�
4. Free lunch/drinks at the ranch on Saturday at the sponsor party for those that want to come there. $10 value (please note the invitation to free lunch is only for the INDIVIDUAL HOST�not the three players they sign on;
If the others want to have lunch there as well, they can purchase tickets for the lunch a head of time)


For questions or to turn your stuff in, contact Laura Hovey at [email protected], or (512) 323-2823. Remember, she needs to receive the form and all the money by April 1st so we can turn it in to Circular Productions.

This weekend is the 19th Annual Capital of Texas Open (COTO) at Pease Park in Austin, hosted by Team Justice as part of the 2009 HOTT series. You can get more info on the Team Justice site http://teamjusticediscgolf.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=44_50 or the pdga discussion board http://www.pdga.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=31526

Team Justice is allowing Waterloo Disc Golf Club to run a membership drive, raffle, and putting contest again this year. The raffle grand prize will be one of the old Circle C baskets that's been retrofitted with a free standing base. The putting contest should be a lot of fun too; a combination of the EDGE SkillShot and regular putting.

If you are playing COTO, come on by the Waterloo station and buy some raffle tickets, play the putting game, and please please join the club or renew your membership. If you like what has happened out at Circle C, we need your support to finish the project and to help us continue those kinds of improvements at our other courses. If you aren�t sure of your membership status, not to worry, our folks will have a full list with them.

If you aren�t playing COTO, come on down to Pease and check out Team Justice�s great assortment of discs and stamps, plus watch some really good golf; and while you are there come by our station too. It will be a fun weekend for all!

If any Austin area golfers find themselves in DFW over the Fourth of July, I would like to extend an invite to the July 4th Fundraiser at Weatherford DGC. There should be close to $1000.00 in prizes given away as we try to raise money to replace two stolen baskets.

The Weatherford July 4th Fundraiser will start at 9am, sign ups at 8am. $20.00 entry and close to $1000.00 in prizes for CTP's on every hole. Maximum CTP's are two per person so at least nine different winners. All money from the entries will go directly to replace the two stolen baskets. Please join us for this special event.

SEARIGHT DISC GOLF COURSE IS OFFICIALLY OPEN!!!!!

WOOHOO!!!

I received this just a little while ago from SADA...


No, this is not an early April Fool's joke - as of an hour ago, all baskets were assembled and installed.

SEARIGHT DISC GOLF COURSE IS OFFICIALLY OPEN!!!!!

I want to thank John Paul from the City and the volunteers that took time out on their Wednesday workday to get these baskets up in record time today: Mike "Meteor Mike" Schulgen, Bert Benavides, Miguel Guerrero, Jeremy "Smoke" Sanchez, Kenny G, and I'm sure a handful of others. Thanks guys!

In addition, I must thank the numerous volunteers that have come out all the workdays to make this happen, with notable thanks to Scott Allen, James Gonzales, Aaron Stair, Del Stair, and Tom Peirce for coming out for all the workdays, assisting with the necessary equipment and tools, and working hand in hand with City workers to make the workdays smooth-sailing and productive.

They certainly are not alone - there are many, many more people that gave their sweat and blood for this project - you all know who you are and you are oh-so appreciated!

Lastly, thanks to Mike Olse, Gene Faulk, Rosie Weaver, and the other City and APF team members that worked closely with SADA throughout the renovations. Thanks to Waterloo and DiscNation for continuing to support the project financially, but just as important, for inspiring more folks to come out for the workdays.

SADA will continue to work with the City and the Austin Parks Foundation to maintain the park and help with repairs. The club is working on holding a benefit tournament in the next month or so, so please keep that in mind so you can help us continue to pay this forward, for this park and all the other disc golf parks in the City.

Thank you everyone!!!!! See you on the course!

COTO is this weekend! 20th Annual Capital of Texas Open

The Waterloo Club no longer runs this event - and hasn�t for several years - but we do always set up a booth at Pease Park and hold a membership drive and some kind of fun, fundraising event (Thanks Team Justice!).

This year the fun event is a putting contest, but not just any putting contest; this time it is a Jump-Putt competition! :D

We will also be giving away door prizes for our current club members plus anyone who joins the club during the weekend (or renews their membership). So be sure to come by the Waterloo Club tent to get your ticket. We�ll be there at Pease all day Saturday and Sunday.

This is a great chance to join the club at a discounted price: just $10 for a Player Membership (normally $20) or just $25 for a Supporting Membership (normally $40).

Disc Golf Association (DGA) is having a contest to give away a 9-hole course. This is not the usual raffle but an essay contest and voting for the best essays is what moves them on in the contest.

There is still plenty of time to enter yourself. Also, voting on existing entries continues until mid-July.

Our own Troy Herman wrote one, and we encourage you to go check it out and vote for it; it is called Play it Forward.

You can vote for up to 5 essays PER DAY, so go back every day and pick your favorite(s). I think all you need to do to be eligible to vote is to �Like� the page (though you do also have to be a facebook member).

There is also an entry there from Scott Hougland, called Central Texas Temp Course.

The link to the contest is: http://apps.facebook.com/contestshq/contests/93874/

Waterloo Disc Golf Club is looking for just a few volunteers to teach some kids about disc golf this Sunday, November 11th, at Austin Ridge Bible Church. A group is doing a fun race for kids and raising money for Austin Ronald McDonald House (and we LOOOOVE that charity). They are including some extra activities for the kids, including disc golf � how cool is that!

We need some folks to be there to teach the kids and run some disc golf stuff for them. The club will have some discs for the kids to use, but it wouldn�t hurt if you could bring some too. But the main thing is just to have someone there to help.

It would just be for a few hours � getting there around 12:00 � 12:30 pm, and probably leaving around 3:00 � 3:30 pm.

If you can help, please get in touch with Zac Tolbert ([email protected]) or Troy Herman ([email protected]) . The information about the day is pasted below.

And hey� feel free to bring your kids down to participate (and spread the word to people you know), it sounds like a lot of fun!!!

Now that the time change is upon us, there are two evenings of glow minis at Zilker (these are not Club events):

Mike Schulgen will be running glow random draw doubles on Thursdays. On Facebook�s Fellow Disc Golfers page was a posting from Mike about it: Starting Thursday, November 8th, at Zilker Park... Random Draw Night Doubles... we will be lighting up all the baskets for a great season in the park... $5-entry, $5-acepot ... if no ace is hit, we will CTP for it after each round :-) .. doubles will be every Thursday starting at dark...


Justin Davis will be running glow singles on Mondays. On Facebook�s Fellow Disc Golfers page were some comments from Justin about it: Continuation of the Monday Working People�s mini; It will be last call at sunset.


And as a bonus to get the glow season off to a great start� The Waterloo Club will be having a CTP for a Disc Nation gift certificate tomorrow at the Thursday random draw doubles, and a CTP for a Dick�s Sporting Goods gift certificate next week at the Monday singles. We had these ready to give away at our Fall League finale last week, but we got caught up in awards and partying and never did the CTP contest (DOH!). Mike and Justin both worked hard running our leagues this year so we are going to take the certificates to their minis and give them away.

Now it�s time to light up your discs, thumb your nose at the dark, and play disc golf all night!

Thanks,
Waterloo Disc Golf Club

The total donation from the 35th Waterloo Disc Golf Classic to Austin Ronald McDonald House (RMH) came to $4,500 in cash, $200 worth of food and household goods, and 15 �gallon jugs� full of can tabs. We haven�t gotten an updated figure lately, but a few years ago RMH said that each jug of can tabs equated to a family�s 1-night stay at the House. Many of the jugs came from SADA, way to go South Side!

Thank you very much to all the sponsors, players, and staff who made this great tournament and this wonderful donation possible!

Our fundraising grand totals now from all the Waterloo Disc Golf Classic Tournaments since 1999 are:

Donated to Austin Ronald McDonald House
$80,000 in cash
$1,000 worth of food, household goods, and toys
102 �gallon jugs� full of can tabs

Donated to Austin Parks Foundation

I found out late last week that local disc golfer Gary Barron passed away recently, sounds like he lost the battle with lung cancer. Gary was in his 70s and loved to play disc golf. He took it up late in life, but was getting better each and every year. He competed in at least one Pro World�s Championships, maybe two, in the Legends division I believe. Always a friendly guy, always a great attitude towards life, people, and disc golf.

I think it was 3 or 4 years ago that he was turning 70 on the day of the Waterloo Club�s Ice Bowl. He was going to play and he asked if we would mind if he bought a keg and donated it to the event. Nope, nope, didn�t mind at all :D

Gary was a Waterloo Club member (#255, joined back in 2007) and probably a member of some of the other local clubs too. I haven�t heard anything about services and have been unable to find an obituary. If anyone has any further information about him, please let me know.

I liked Gary a lot, and will miss him! My heart goes out to his family and friends. Hopefully he is laughing and putting with Dave Tayloe, Ian Hovey, and many of our other beloved disc golf family members.

Peace,
Gordon

Tomorrow evening (Thur. Mar 12th) has a couple of things going on.

The first is the start of Spring WaterLeague at Zilker; this is week #1 in the 10 week league, flex start between 4:30 � 5:30 pm. (more info is below)

The second thing is the presentation of the draft Master Plan for the big Onion Creek Metropolitan Park. This is the final public meeting about the Master Plan. Please show up to either voice support for disc golf if they have included it and/or ask for more golf (if they have one course only, let�s ask for two � a pro course and a beginner course), OR if they have left us out completely, then we need to make sure they hear from us of the need and the desire for disc golf to be included.

The meeting is:
Thursday, March 12, 2015 � 6:30pm � 8:30pm
Widen Elementary School
5605 Nuckols Crossing Road � Austin, Texas 78744-4615

Please come to the meeting! You can either start league on week #2 next week, or do like I�m going to do: get to league as close to 4:30 as I can today, play right away, and then head over to the meeting when my round is done. The timing should work out just about right.

Thanks,
Waterloo Disc Golf Club

More Spring WaterLeague Info:

Every Thursday @ Zilker Park

Flex Tee time: 4:30 � 5:30 pm, sign up Hole #1 South

We will be playing twice around the South 9. (We will start playing the full course for our Summer WaterLeague.)

� 10-week singles league; best 5 scores count
� $20 to join with an optional one-time $5 league ace pot that is split evenly between all aces hit during league play
� You can play all 10 weeks and drop your worst 5 scores; you can play just 5 weeks and all your scores will count; or anywhere in between. You can join the league any time during the first 6 weeks.

During the 10-week league, if the course is soaked from rain and too muddy, we will cancel league for that night and make it up with an extra Thursday night at the end. Playing most of the courses around Central Texas in the mud can cause a lot of damage so we will try to avoid that if we can.

If the weather is questionable on a Thursday, check the club�s Facebook Page and Twitter feed that afternoon to find out if we have cancelled league (we will also try to post it in the Fellow Disc Golfers Facebook Page). We will try to make the call by 3:30 pm (and 4:00 pm at the latest), and will then post the information.

If the weather is fine, we won�t post anything about cancelled/not-cancelled; just assume it is on. But if the weather is bad/iffy/questionable, check for posts before heading down to Zilker.

For more information about Spring WaterLeague, please call the club at (512) 994-9508, or check out Waterloo�s Facebook page.
