The TDSA would like to rally the troops once again in an effort to install a new course in Bristow, OK. This will be the first course to be planted under the "True Growth Program"!

December 8th - please clear your schedules and make it over to Bristow Lake for a work day and play. The city will already have the 9 holes for the baskets dug. We will simply have to set the baskets and tee boxes.

There is a minimal amount of clearing that needs to be done but anyone that can bring a weedeater or push mower should.

I will come up with a central meeting place in Tulsa for us to carpool for those who want to.

Please come out and help put this course in the ground and also be one of the first to play a new course - Oh yeah and someone has to be the first person to ace at a course.

A huge shout out needs to go to John and Karla Barton for making this course possible with their connections with the city and a big pat on the back to Cris Hicks and Wayne Forest for their direct help in making this course happen. The TDSA should also be very proud of itself for making this available via the "True Growth Program" - kudos to all.

... it's on the new mini-schedule also ... can't wait ! ... :cool:

... a-n-d ... anyone (or your friends) who has use of a Pickup Truck (plain ol' open-bed) , please shout out to Brad HOI ( 694-7280 ) ... we need to carry only 9 Baskets over there ... a coupla more Pickups would mean that Brad won't have to try to use his trailer ... thanks in advance ...

these baskets still have theconcrete balls on them. it is much easier to load the with two peoples.thanks for any help. we could load the night before the work day.

GREAT job you guys...I am in Houston so that makes for a long work day :Dbut I will have to put it on the list for the summer ROAD TRIP! :cool:PAT...PAT...PAT TDSA ROCKS

i am pretty sure i can lend a hand...or two.

I'm there as long as golden shovels are not involved :D

:eek:

ok folks.
i have some bad news.
i will not be able to help on sat. the 8th.
ive a wedding to attend.
however if there is a truck available to pull my trailer we can load it and have it ready sat morning for towing.
my truck is spoken for and not available.

... it's a-ok ... Gumby can get ahold of you and pick them up throughout the week on his way from work (Tulsa) to home (Bristow) daily ...

Hey Wayne!

I have a truck and would be willing to help take baskets. I'll see you tonight at Riverside and we can talk more.

... a li'l more about this "work-day gig" : JoeRo (aka mister-twisted) is working further angles for some "publicity" and "promo" on this Course Opening ... it is , after all , the first of the "True-Growth" type situations ... Gary Nail and Rob Davis note this > photos and pictures will be absolutely wanted ... from before -to- after -to- ribbon-cutting -to- playing -to- etc. ... John and Karla and Jose and JoeRo and Cris might talk some local "officials" into "handshake and smile" type pictures ... ay ? ...

� and � sumpthin� else that sounds neat � Karla Barton says that a �Rules-Sign� for Hole 1 is being constructed by students as some-type-of �class-project� � v-e-r-y NICE touch on any Course �
.
... Remember the Date ... December 8 ... it'll be great ... come celebrate ... don't be late ... I can't wait ! ... :D

Take I-44 West to Bristow Exit
Take HWY 48 South into downtown Bristow
Turn right on 7th street
Take 7th street all the way to the lake park
The road will start to wind to the south
The course is just behind the VFW (white building)

... hey JoeRo Twisted Flyer ... I know you said you would be at the "Bristow Work Day" and Course-Opening this Saturday ... will you not be at "Piney Woods" in Texas this weekend ? ...

... good map & directions now on the Club website ... www.tulsadiscsports.org (http://www.tulsadiscsports.org)

... see you all out there Saturday ... 10am ... :cool:

... I've heard that 6 of those Baskets have been carried over to Bristow already ... :)
.
.
... 3 more before Saturday morning ... :D

� another thought on these Baskets � they�re not �shiny brand-new� , but they�re �good ol� galvanized� solid Baskets � I�m carrying extra Basket-plate numbers to apply and seal over , some top-mouldings also � once these puppies are in the ground and tamped-in , there might be need for a �little-light-tightening� �
.
� possible good-things-to-have-out-there (if some of the crew has and can bring) >

portable drill �n� bits

some extra bolts, nuts, metal-screws

maybe even some coated-wire (if any lower-basket is �hair-lipped�)

.
.
.
� just a little extra tightening up makes �em all-the-more-solid � be a True Hero ... help spruce-up a True Growth Basket � :cool:

I was planning on making it to Bristow for the work day but turns out I have to actually WORK on Saturday. Hopefully you guys get a good turnout.

SO HOW DID EVERYTHING GO????
INSTALL????
GAMES ETC.?

Had a blast, great course layout ,we did have to tweak a tee area or two. but a really challenging course for a 9 hole. there were about 10 or so people helping today thanks again to all who came out
we also played flip doubs for 5 a head good times!!!!!!!

I agree with Jerry. This course is great.

Hole #2 is my favorite. For a righty it is an anhyzer down hill.

Great job to everyone involved in the layout and installation

i wonder what innova sees in this first share the growth project.
is there going to be a major press release or any thing like that?

cant wait to see it. I am just down the road. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

The plans are in the works to make a big publicity push with Innova, TDSA and City of Bristow! Look for something big in the upcoming weeks after the holidays.

It is good to hear the good reviews so far. The kids basketball schedule has prevented me from getting a chance to throw any of the holes as of yet but I am looking forward to getting a chance soon.

� as of Saturday noon ,
BRISTOW HAS A DISC GOLF COURSE � COOL �
.
.
� NICE Baskets were made even NICER after additional welding , straightening , adding-more-concrete � they were set in , tamped-in tight , and ready-to-play � Basket-numbers and mouldings were added and sealed � that whole Park area is REALLY NICE for the layout � each Hole features three separate tee-areas , marked with Red , White , or Blue landscape-timbers � some very-intriquing looks and unique variety for all Skill-Levels �
.
.
� the following individuals were out there Saturday � either early-enough to assist installation ; or later to play a Round �
