Monthly Minis coming to Cameron Park in Waco

Howdy Y'all. (There should be a smiley emoticon with a cowboy hat on for lines like that.)

Hill Country Flyers is proud to announce that on the heels of the successful monthly minis at Lago Vista we are expanding. Starting January 26 at 10:30 a.m. HCF Monthly Minis are coming to Cameron Park in Waco.

The 4th Sunday of each month will be my day to get to spend more time than ever before at one of my favorite places to play disc golf. A longtime favorite of players all over Tejas, Cameron Park seemed to be a great fit when I was looking for another place to hold a monthly mini. We have the support and encouragement of Joey Harrell, aka Waco Golf Guru, and I'm sure the locals will be looking forward to seeing our smiling faces once a month.

Like the Lago mini, the Cameron Park monthly will offer as many divisions as we can muster (Pros $8 Ams $5), pick your own payout for Ams, all the coolest and newest plastic I can find and a day of great golf at one of Texas's most scenic courses. The mighty Brazos is quite an imposing water hazard, wouldn't you say? /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

The ace pot will be $2, instead of the $1 I have been using. Many players told me they'd rather throw in an extra buck since we throw off for the pot (CTP) if nobody hits it during the round. The ace pot will go to $2 in Lago too. I thought about rolling the pot between the two courses to let it get big and juicy, but I was afraid folks might not dig that since the courses are triple digit miles apart. Any feedback on this idea would be welcomed.

There will be a couple of events in '03 that will force me to miss a couple of the minis. Here's the schedule as it stands now:
January
1st Sunday at Lago - Yes
4th Sunday at Waco - Yes
February
1st Sunday at Lago - Yes

4th Sunday at Waco - Yes (Week before Cold Turkey Classic in Austin at Bart)
December

4th Sunday at Waco - Yes (Hey, you gotta try out the new plastic you get from Santa)

As you can tell from that schedule, I'm gonna be a busy guy this year and I'm gonna miss some of the events I've really enjoyed attending over the last three years. In case anyone didn't believe me when I said I was gonna TD more than I played in '03, I guess they believe me now. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

I look forward to seeing you all in Waco on the 26th.

[seewhere]

THANKS MARTYR for all the hard work..

[thcplz]

thanx see ya sunday.
did ya see my note on the lago thread about schlotzsky's ctp's and water are taken care of.

Yes I saw that Metal and of course, as always, Schlotzsky's Effen Rules!

Thanks C-dub. I'm looking forward to getting to spend more time with my golfin' buds in Waco. It just always seems to be fun there.

MARCHING TO WACO
Greetings Texas Disc Golfers,
Hill Country Flyers first full year organizing disc golf events kicked off with a bang Sunday, Jan. 5th, as 73 players showed up for our lil’ ole monthly get together at Lago Vista. The beautiful course on Lake Travis is in the best shape its ever been in, thanks to the back breaking work of the North Shore Disc Golf Club volunteers. I don’t know if 73 players is a record for Austin area one-round minis, but I’m certain that’s the most golfers that course has ever seen in one afternoon.

Now its time for us to get started with something that I’m personally very excited about. Tell the spouse they’ll have plenty to do, tell the kids they can go to the zoo and tell the in-laws that Sunday dinner will have to be postponed. HCF Monthly Minis are coming to Waco! Starting January 26, at 10:30 a.m., Cameron Park, a longtime favorite of Texas disc golfers, will be hosting us for a once-a-month mini on the 4th Sunday of each month.

Cameron Park itself is one of the prettiest public parks in the state and is set right alongside the mighty Brazos River. There are plenty of good eats and sights to see in Waco for non-golfers, including the Cameron Park Zoo (Sunday hours – 11 am-5 pm. Adults $4, Children (4-12) $2.).

With the encouragement and support of local disc golf guru Joey Harrell, I’ll have an excuse to spend more time than ever on one of my favorite courses. If the numbers of Joey’s Waco Charity Open, Pro and Am weekends last year, as well as Chris Himing’s 1-day, record setting ZiegenBock Texas 10 turnout of over 250 are any indication, its most likely one of your favorite courses too.

The mini’s in Waco will be singles competition with Am entry fees a low $5, while the Pros (who like to play for a little more) will pay $8. All players may participate in the optional Ace Pot for an additional $2. We’ll be doing something a little different with the Ace Pot from now on, starting in Waco this month. It will still be $2 per player, and we’ll still throw for a CTP if no one hits an ace during the round. However, if no ace is hit, the CTP winner will get half the pot, while the other half will go into a rolling pot that will travel up and down I-35 between the Lago Vista and Waco events each month. Of course, in the event that an ace is hit during a round, that player will receive the entire pot. Otherwise, it will allow a traveling pot to fatten up a bit and follow us between the two monthlies. Hopefully, if this happens, somebody’s going to get a nice little chunk of change the next time an ace goes down on either of these two courses, both of which are full of ace runs.

All the newest, latest, greatest plastic will be on hand, as well as some other disc related items. As always, if there’s something you want, let me know. Feel free to call me anytime between 9 a.m. or 9 p.m. at 512-756-7127 or drop me an email at mark@zeecon.com.

Now, I realize that Jan. 26th is Super Bowl Sunday. I called the NFL and apparently there’s just no way they can reschedule (something about pre-sold advertising or some such nonsense). The good news is that with a kickoff after 5 p.m., we’ll all be home in time to see the game (although without the Cowboys in it, I can’t imagine why anyone would want to).

If you’re not going to be able to come to the January Waco Monthly, plan on being there on Sunday March 23rd. February is the only month of the year without a scheduled Waco Monthly. That doesn’t mean we won’t be busy, since that 4th weekend, Feb. 22-23, Hill Country Flyers will be presenting the Victoria Open, a PDGA B-tier event and a ZT10 Points Qualifier Event. Check out Titledisc.com for more info on that and stay tuned for another email regarding that tourney.

Thanks to all of you, our little disc golf venture is off and rolling with a full head of steam. I hope I can return your support and confidence in Hill Country Flyers by providing fun, top-notch disc golf events for you to enjoy year round.

Peace & Plastic,
Mark Atwood
Hill Country Flyers


P.S. Look for my ’03 mini schedule in my January 3rd post on the top of this thread

Just thought I'd let you guys know that I'm thinking about flip flopping my August Lago and Waco dates...for obvious reasons. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif Any feedback would, as always, be greatly appreciated.

Hey George, what's the local word? Y'all planning on making it out to HCF Waco #1?

Frank, about that bar tab thing, you just show up and start ordering drinks and wait on me. I'll be there, yeah, that's it, just drink up and wait on me, yeah, that's it.

How come there's no Waco guys on this thread? /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

[Pizza God]

anyone other than Joey live in Waco anymore?

George does......Mr. Monkey Love himself!!

There are actually quite a few local players there and everytime I drive over there for a round there are players on the course. Most of them are casual golfers, but these minis are perfect for bringing casual golfers into the competitive disc golf scene. We will always strive to have a novice/rec division and new and/or casual golfers will be encouraged to participate.

In fact, a friend of mine, whom I haven't seen in about 15 years, is seriously considering coming down from Dallas with some girls from his office for a fun first time on the course.

Even the most competitive of us still like to have fun playing a round of golf. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

[gnduke]

OK,

A quick show of hands - How many are considering the Super bowl sunday morning mini ?
The game doesn't start until 5:00. I could be back home on the north side of Dallas before 3:00.

Just wanted to get a general feeling about how many people are planning to make it to the first of these minis. And how many OMBs would be there to to hone my putting skills against.

It does need quite a bit of honing right now.

[27dogs]

i'll be there if promises to play

[27dogs]

doh!!! forgot to type mark

[gnduke]

Want to car pool again ? It should be my turn to drive.

[27dogs]

I tell you what Frank, just show up then I'll let you know. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

[27dogs]

all i have to do is wave a nice tye dyed qjls under your nose /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

[seewhere]

[jasonc]

D@mn it, gotta do merch at Veteran's. Hope evryone enjoys themselves at what has to be one of the most beautiful courses in TX.

[crusher]

I'm coming just for you C-Ware!!!!!

and bring me a cheeseburger....stat!

anyone from H-town planning on going. If my bus is ready, I will have room for seven people. If not do you have room for one person?

[gnduke]

The weather is looking better with every update to the forcast. Looks like we're on Frank.

[gnduke]

Are we playing the old or the new course ?

Cameron Park, not Cameron East. Its not in the ground quite yet, but who knows what the future will bring.

[gnduke]

Maybe next time.

ALRIGHTY,picking up the bus afterwork, any Houstonians wanting a ride please let me know, as I will need a navigator on roll patrol/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

[27dogs]

alrighty let's do it. i need a good atwood dose.call me or i'll call ya.also if you see ken bacon before me tell him a friend of mine found an orange c.e. valk. that has his name on it. come on atwood.

[suemac]

Chu, you might want to find a ride as wind up toy buses can't make the long drive. And it wouldn't be much fun to be practicing your drives in the pasture next to the road where you bus breaks down on the way there! Just kidding! Have a great time!

Good to hear that Mary Jane is back on the road!

[gnduke]

That's why it was in the shop. It needed a bigger rubber band to make it all the way to Waco. /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

[suemac]

So, I guess MJ is now the Super Rubber Band Van!

[suemac]

Opps! I forgot, she a bus, a discbus or something like that, did they even have vans back when she was first put on this earth? I think they were called panel trucks so many years ago.

sue, sit and rotate!

sue, sit and rotate!


eat sh3t and die,
oh just kidding. not

[seewhere]

okay Sue and Matchu you have your own thread with this SH*T talking ..This is the WACO MINI Thread Take that back to your HOUSTON thread..


ROUND ROCK

Its cool C-dub, you know how touchy people get about their rides. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Matchu, it'll be good to see you at Cameron.

SueMac, aren't your leagues on Saturday? Doesn't that leave your Sunday free? We had some good players in the ladies group last time, hopefully will Sunday as well.

[suemac]

We'll have to see, I bet I can't get a ride with Chuey though!

I would like to head that way sometime soon.

BIG KISS TO YOU AND MARY JANE, MATCHU!

[gnduke]

Frank,
Give me a call, I lost your number.

Is Danny planning on going to Waco with us ?

With the Sunday Ace pot hit this last weekend, We might have to make it down for this! Will be good to play the course again!! Hopefully we will see you this weekend!

[seewhere]

hey STEAMY who hit it??

[jasonc]

Jerry Seabolt.

[27dogs]

gary i can't find your number either.

One of you call me, I have both of your numbers. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

still waiting for a reply frank. jon said he'll show if you do, but i think he believes you're a schickun.

[sandalman]

is it one or two rounds?

[crusher]

If you read the whole threead sandalman, you would see that it's one round and home in time for the pre-game.

How many people are going to make it there, I will be there around 9:15 or so.

[gnduke]

I'll call you in the morning Mark, have to work tonight.

NPS, it seems like there'll be too many for me to plan on playing. I thought if the idea of getting out on Super Sunday meant low attendance I would give it a shot, but with folks coming from DFW, Austin, Houston and the Waco guys planning on being there, it looks like I'll be watching you drive #16 with a putter. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Also, we might get a pretty good showing since its only one round (that's okay Pebbles, I never read the whole thread either /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif ) and most folks could be home in plenty of time for kickoff.

Besides, the Cowboys aren't playing so who cares?

[ozdisc]

The only thing on Sunday is the Australian Open tennis final.

What hole do I start on? Can I start on hole 5 with the noputtingsavage just in case hole 4 gives me a problem again/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

You darn full time TDs stay up too late. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Attention all Open Pros: Please steer Thunder in the right direction off #4's tee. We'll have no drama, mister. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

[27dogs]

alright george i've been called out,gary and i are car pooling. you and jon both are going down on your own course /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif. jason said he's a pro now will be whooping both of you. hey jon,lick deez nuts!

Got some email asking me to post directions. Since I aim to please, here 'ya go. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

I-35 to University Parks Dr. (on the south side of the river) west, 2 miles, go under bridge and bear right at Sturgis. We'll be set up in the pavillion.

[sandalman]

nps, i wasnt worried about the freaking super bowl, since it could be 2 rounds and i'd still make it home in time.

i did read the entire thread, and the email letters, and it NOWHERE says that the mini is one round. i defy you to prove otherwise. /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

and who gives a ratsass about the cowboys anyway. i'm for the redskins in the NFC and the raiders in the AFC, and have been for 30 years. RAIDERS RULE!

Pat,
America cares about the Cowboys. They ARE Americas Team. That may make you and others like you a little, say, angry, but it is the truth. Face it and deal with it, its just the way it is.

[Sharky]

Nostalgia from the 20th century/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

[spartan]

Anyone going to Waco Sunday that will be leaving from South Austin? I am looking to car pool if anyone is interested. I can drive but will need someone to load the gun while driving.

ps. Are minis ever more than one round? Just curious.

Only when they're maxis.

one round, not driving to waco for one round of golf.

I couldnot careless about football, so I will be playing disc somewhere on Sunday, should have whatever course to myself

Too bad Matchu, but hopefully I'll see you soon somewhere on the course. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

[gnduke]

The bus isn't leaving the station ?

[sandalman]

the cowboys are america's team the way little bush is america's president - neither one has a majority! /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

They have something else in common too, sandal footed one. I'd rather go to war with either of them than Gore or the Deadskins. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

[crusher]

I would love to play on the same card with you Chris, I know right where to stand when you tee off/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

It's o.k. that you can't play this weekend Mark, I can only watch my own bad putting, watching you putt also would be like watching the Cowgirls offense(they can't get it in when thier close)

[sandalman]

once again, not a majority opinion.

i guess you need reminding about the last meeting between the skins and the Boys.

and i'd much rather be on the highway with redskins than cowboys /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

Now that's dark, Sandalman.

Hey NPS, thanks so much for your sensitivity to my plight. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

[sandalman]

hope to see ya sunday, mark... too bad ya not playing... but thanks for bringing the mini to cameron!

[27dogs]

hey mark, correct me if i'm wrong. didn't the cowboys beat the redskins 8 or 9 in a row before the last one? /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

You're wrong. It was 10 in a row before the last one. New streak coming soon sandalboy, stay tuned. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

TU-NA, TU-NA, TU-NA, TU-NA!!!!!

[sandalman]

new streak already started, fools

Its okay with me if you root for the team with the 2nd best NFC East franchise winning percentage, 2nd most NFC East titles, 2nd most NFC East playoff appearances, and not even close to the 2nd most Super Bowl appearances.

We'll still love 'ya Pat, 'cept on Sundays. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

[27dogs]

all 2nd place is, is the first loser

[sandalman]

is the mini this sunday?
how many rounds is it?
where is the park?
can i drink beer?
is it sanctioned?
what time is sign-up?

/msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

Yes.
One.
2 Miles west of I-35 on University Parks Dr.
Yes, its encouraged.
No, it just seems that way.
9 a.m. to 10ish, start 10:30 sharp.

/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

mark, if you're interested in coming down the night before, let me know and i'll probably have a place for you to stay.

Thanks Nody, but we'll be hittin' the road early in the morning from here. I'm planning on helping the Dragons out at Rivery on Saturday.

See 'ya Sunday.

cool deal anytime you need though, let me know.

[crusher]

Anytime Mark, I think the name "Tuna" sums up the last 3 or 4 years for the Cowgirls. Maybe Parcells will take away some of the stink, but it will take a couple seasons/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

You know NPS its a shame you're gonna be in Falcons country by next season or you'd be able to get the local broadcast of home games of the biggest story of '03 in the NFL.

I may miss 'ya, but the Cowboys won't. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

[gnduke]

Sounds like you guys are looking for some OMB skins action.

Hey Mark A. you still coming tomorrow or are going to be sacred of a little cold like Jerry and the rest of them Austin boys /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif..PDP H.o.T tag #80 something /msgboard/images/clipart/sad.gif

PDP, if I tell you that a rooster can pull a train, you'd best get the harness and get your *** off the tracks. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

I'll be there 'cause I said I'd be there. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Look forward to seeing you. Hope the weather clears up a little, though.

[crusher]

Mark, I don't mind being in Falcon land! I won't miss hearing about all the stupid Cowgirl problems on a daily basis. I will miss watching all the Stars games though, because the Atlanta Thrashers play like they are owned by Jerry Jones(this means they [*****])

See ya in the mornin /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Wow! We almost had as many players as we had degrees above zero! /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif 38 Players and 41 degrees.

Thanks to all those who braved the wet and cold conditions to help us kickoff our inaugural Cameron Park Monthly. Congrats to all the winners:

Mary McGough - Advanced Women (who beat me by 5 strokes /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif)
Craig Leyva - Open
Mark Bowman - Advanced Master
Martin Tasker - Intermediate (Who had to haul *** from Austin to represent-Sorry for all the razzing my friend /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif)
Danny Dorsett - Novice/Recreational

And to Chris Wilson for hitting the $38 CTP. The other half of the collected Ace Pot will reappear next Sunday in Lago Vista.

I'll post scores later, but I wanted to tell everyone how much I appreciate your support. You guys make me feel like its all worthwhile and I get just as much enjoyment out of seeing you all on the course as I do out of being out there myself.

More to come after the game. Picked the Raiders, pulling for the Bucs. Can't lose either way and since its not the Cowboys until next year, it doesn't matter. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

[sandalman]

great job mark... excellent debut in Waco! it was good to see arlington and dallas representing, and to catch up with some waco and austin folks.

keep up the great work

GO RAIDERS

Hey NPS, looks like you're coming to Victoria. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

[crusher]

I said I would let you know/msgboard/images/clipart/sad.gif

I'll see what I can do! Besides, the only thing that made me realize that I was NOT watching the Cowboys was the Raiders logo/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Okay, a run down of yesterday is posted at http://www.hillcountryflyers.com. Scores, CTP winner and thanks are all there, as is our 2003 Mini Schedule. Just click on the HCF Monthly Mini link on the right.

Thanks again to all who came out and we'll see 'ya in Lago on Sunday.

Nice page Mark!

[jasonc]

Thanks to Mark and Joey for bringing a mini to Cameron. The course looked great (as usual), and a good time was had by all. Now if the Am men could find a way to beat Mary McGough all would be well in the world[/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif]. Nice shooting Mary!!!!!!

I don't mind her beating me, Jason, I just wish it wasn't by 6 strokes. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

I'd like to at least say I'm competitive with her, you know. At least she only beat her husband by 1. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Thanks Gimp, but if you think that's nice just wait a couple of weeks. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Are you doing that yourself?

So far.

Leyva was cheating. He was throwing with the wrong hand and making putts. NO ONE said it was ok to use the street as a launching pad. NO ONE said it was ok to park #5 with a roc. CHEATER. Makes me sick.....

I heard about the Roc shot on #5. I hate him.

[ozdisc]

He was throwing Rocs and not putters for his drives. That's what I call cheating. Hole 5 was crazy. The battle of the Kreke / Harrell twins was a dead heat this time...until they meet again.

[seewhere]

I guess that just shows you that CAMERON is A PITVH AND PUTT as well.. throwing ROCS.. sheesh

[ozdisc]

Just wait until you see the Cameron East course hig hyzer boy. Ask Von Kreke how much you will crying/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif Joey is evil.

[seewhere]

just got done putting in Von's WAREhouse.. I know Joey but there's only so much he can do to stop the Z EXTREME..

/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

[crusher]

I wanted to use my Gator, but I decided to give my arm a rest since I wasn't really warmed up yet. I had a great time playing with you guys, I hope we can do it one more time before the move.

Great playing with Craig, Paul, and Thunder. Craig threw like Craig. It is amazing what kind of power that guy posesses. Himing was hanging tough but 16 was his demise. I don't think Paul missed anything inside of ten feet (Not Typical). Then Paul nails a 50 footer to tie me on the last hole (Typical). Thanks Mark for puting this thing on. You really are doing a great job and everyone appreciates it.
CWare you better be able to throw that Z-Ex in a straight line. We may rename Cameron East to Cameron Beast before it's all said and done.

[seewhere]

sounds good Joey.. Once I break it in that EAST course will be all mine!!!

/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

we'll see/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

In the interest of promoting PDGA sanctioned events, I'd first like to say that I'll understand if we get a low turnout for our trip to Bear country. There are two good reasons for this.

If you're a Pro, the place to be that weekend is obviously the Pro World Doubles Championships at the equally World Class Circle R2 Disc Golf Ranch in San Saba. These courses are so incredible that I might come out on Saturday, 3/22, just to watch.

If you're an Am, the smart money that weekend is at one of Texas's legendary World's courses, Pleasure Island, in Port Arthur. The Pleasure Island Amateur Championships, a PDGA B-tier, will be boasting one of the largest Am payouts in Texas disc golf history.

If, however, you're not fortunate enough to be at either of the above locations, fear not. HCF has something sweet for you. Sunday, March 23, the HCF 4th Sunday Monthly Mini in Waco will have a slight change of venue. It will be your first chance to play a competitive round on the brand new Cameron East course. If you're a Pro who's not going to WD, this will be your chance to tuneup for the Waco Charity Open Pro weekend, (one of Texas' most popular A-tiers and a chance to qualify for the USDGC) which will take place 6 days later.

For those of you who haven't seen this new course, you're in for a real treat. The whole course, especially the back nine, is destined to be an instant classic and will immediately be one of the best disc golf courses in the country. Joey Harrel, Waco's resident evil genius, has created something truly special on the "other" side of the river.

Everything else will remain the same, as far as the HCF Mini is concerned. Ams $5, Pros $8, Ace Pot $2. Our Ace Pot, for those of you who don't know, pays out 100% if an ace is hit and pays 1/2 to one CTP thrower if no aces go down. This half travels with us each month between Lago Vista (1st Sundays) and Waco (4th Sundays).

As an added bonus, just like we offer each month at Lago, there's a $50 HCF Mini course record bounty. Since this is the 1st HCF Mini at this course, we can count on that $50 going to the top scorer that day!

The new website will be up this week and it will have a page dedicated to the HCF Monthlies. Check it first for any questions (www.hillcountryflyers.com) or email me at mark@zeecon.com.

mark....thanks for bringing the HCF minis to Waco. your a good man...even though you got long hair/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif,see you soon.

And you're alright in my book too, Nody. Even though you ain't got no hair. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Will you be the man that walks away with my $50 March 23rd? Remember, your course record only counts when you do it in competition. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

I hope I get a chance to play the course real soon. I'm pretty sure we'll have too many folks this month for me to get to play in the mini and it may be a couple of weeks before I can throw again, but my first round of golf, as soon as I'm able, has just got to be on The Beast!

[ozdisc]

Nody said, "Lance Dolezel and I both shot a 58 today, which is the current course record". Good to see you guys teaming up to play doubles and set the doubles record/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif I am sure Joey and I could find a few dollars floating around to take you boys on next week.

I wonder, with as many throws as will be required on this course, if folks will still be in the mood to invade a local restaurant and then go throw a round of random dubs, like what the group always seems to do in Lago?

I mean, I'll be happy to scope out a place for us to descend upon for some post-mini grub (that's tucker to you Chris), but I don't know if everyone's gonna be sticking around for the unofficial part of the mini as much at The Beast! /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Cool the tucker is on Mark/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif The Brazos Steakhouse up the road is the spot to be. As far as I know they are helping to sponsor the Waco Charity Cup so let's go in and get them excited.

Some people may need many throws on this course. I am just sorry Seeware won't be there to wack down a few trees and open things up a little on his drives.

The course may take a leaf out of another famous course and have 3 well named holes. The Beauty, the beast and the b....

Can't wait to play this very picturesque and well designed course. Did you know you can see the Cameron course from several holes on the east side. Hey I'm over here.

[seewhere]

yepper sorry guys will do some tree leveling on another day. Will be in SAN SABA

[grambo]

how does the new cameron east course compare to the one at tx10 last year?

Grambo, I think someone shot a -6 or -7 to win Texas 10. On this course a 6 or 7 would be good. The course measures out at over 7000 feet. The front nine plays around the area we had the TX10 course set up in and the back nine goes into the deeeeeeep woods. Par will be 66. I hope it will prove to be one of the toughest and most fun courses to play around. Also, one of the prettiest. But, I am predjudiced. Come on up and check it out.

chris, that was singles bud. we shot a 52 in doubles/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif,and me and lance have no quams about spankin you and that slavedriver joey/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif.

did I mention i got a 3 on #18? 2 nice hucks and a 20ftr for dessert. pie anyone?

Chris you gotta wonder about Geo sometimes. Yesterday we were out working on the course and he comes over to me holding a snake. Smiling he asks me what kind of snake it is, to which I reply Copperhead. He must have watched too much of that Crazy Aussie Steve Erwin. Oops, crazy and Aussie, thats redundant isn't it.

redundant

/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

George I will bring the video camera to record your next 3 on #18. Have you got a 3 on 16 yet? Gunfire will erupt if you walk towards me with a snake.

i'll probably never get a 3 on #16,but i'm not trying, i'll take my 4 and like it.

[my_hero]

A few of us are coming down to check out C. EAST tomorrow! Be there by lunch time/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

my-hero/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Mark, I hope you are resting up for this weekend. Congrats on the Red Rock Show. Heard nothing but praise. I am taking off work Thurs and Fri to work on the course. It should look better than ever by the mini. This is a good opportunity to practice up for the upcoming tournaments. So who is planning on coming?

One thing I would like to encourage everyone to do is to patronize Lake Brazos Steakhouse. They are supporters of discgolf and of the W.A.C.O.. They are a cash sponsor of this year's tourney and we need to show them that there investment has paid off. They do have great food and very good prices. COLD BEER on tap as well. If you do stop by, please tell them you are a discgolfer and thank them for their support. (One cool thing is you can sit by the windows on the back deck and watch #11's fairway across the river.)

Looking forward seeing everyone that can make it. And a big thanks to Mr. Mark Atwood for all his suffering.

Joey did I live somethings in the back of your truck? I will try to be out on Friday but if not I will be there at daybreak on Sunday to help on the course before the mini.

yes you did billy. we'll be there thur.,and fri.,sat. and sun.!

Yeah, what my spokesperson said.

[willyc]

Joey, I'm still having nightmares about the back 9! /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif I know that I need to shoot alot better in order to start sleeping like a baby again.

Thanks Joey, I'll be plenty rested up by Sunday. I wish I felt good enough to throw, though. I can't wait until I can actually play The Beast. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Just to remind you guys that aren't up to speed on the HCF Monthly Mini gig, here are the details.

Ams $5, Pros $8, Ace Pot $2. Aces get 100% (or split in the case of multiple aces) and a CTP throwoff pays half to the winner if there are no aces hit. In the event that only half the pot gets paid out, the other half travels with us each month between our 1st Sunday Monthlies at Lago Vista and our 4th Sunday Monthlies in Waco. Thanks to Zach "Eagle Eye" Williamson, the pot is empty at present, but with the numbers we're expecting Sunday, it'll still be a nice little bonus.

Speaking of nice little bonuses, someone's gonna walk away with an extra $50 in their pocket. Our HCF Mini Course Record Bounty needs a benchmark, so the top scorer Sunday will set a precedent and be well paid for their efforts.

We'll start taking signups at 9 a.m. and we'll shut them down at 10 a.m.. We'll tee off at 10:30. Don't be late.

As always, its one round of singles. We always offer as many divisions as we can muster, typically with an Open Pro, Pro Masters, Advanced, Advanced Masters, Intermediate and Rec. We get enough ladies to field a division about 75% of the time too, so you gals don't hesitate to come on out.

I'm not sure yet exactly where we'll be set up, but maybe Joey can shed some light on where he'd like us to be.

After the round, we'll all head over and invade Lake Brazos Steakhouse for lunch and a couple of CFOs. In Lago every month, most of the players head back out to the course for random draw dubs after lunch. Although we don't run it, I'd like to see this start happening in Waco each month, since it makes for such a nice full day of fun and golf.

Look forward to seeing all of you there and seeing The Beast get put through its paces for the first time. God that course is gonna rock and it should be fun to watch.

BTW, there won't be a waiting list and we'll run as many ghost cards as y'all need! /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

Looking forward to playing in my first HCF mini. Joey I thought you were going to lock George's disc in the truck. You see what happens when you don't(LMAO). George thanks for the disc but I didn't keep me from stinking up the course at the Temple mini. Still hopeful I can at least do a drive-by on Friday or Saturday.

And we're looking forward to having 'ya BillyB. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Joey, gimme a call today if you get a chance.

Joey, you may have put this upthread and I missed it. Are you gonna have entry forms for Pro and Am weekend at the HCF Monthly this Sunday?

I signed up for Waco Am weekend last nite on Titledisc.com. It's never to early with tourneys now days. Looking forward to meeting lot's more DGers at the mini on Sunday. Mark thanks for promoting disc golf in Texas and taking all the flak from the ungratefuls. See you Sunday.

SUNDAY,SUNDAY,SUNDAY!!!/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

[ozdisc]

Did I hear Mark say a free Candy disc for the correct player number guess this weekend?

I say 63.

By the way hole 1 and the meeting area is next to the boat ramp at Cameron East. It is on your left before you would turn in to the old hole one area. Where the woods finish and the green grass starts.

I don't "recall" doing anything like that. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

[gnduke]

You never were known for your memory. /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

Actually Gary, that was kinda inside. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

I hear you're coming out Sunday. Look forward to your opinions on The Beast!

Now that Chris mentions it, though, I could be persuaded to give a HCF Custom Candy Disc for a correct guess of player turnout for this Cameron East debut (must be present to win).

I have:
Chris H. 63

Anyone else?

[27dogs]

67, gary want to car pool? i'll bring exta clothes this time, j.d. may also go.

For those of you who like a tease, just thought I'd let you know that I just got through with a very interesting phone call. Look forward to a big announcement Sunday at the HCF Waco Mini. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Custom Candy HCF Disc:
Chris H. 63
Frank D. 67
?

[27dogs]

oh my god, now your starting to sound like chris /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif you must be his mini me

[gnduke]

OMG, It's Mini Mark

Kinda inside ?

72

[gnduke]

Frank, If it's nice, I'm taking the TA.

Not really room for 2 passengers and your cart.

[jbitner]

i'm in , even 70. jb

Chris H. 63
Frank D. 67
Gary D. 72
Jay B. 70

This is gonna be such a blast. I'm just glad I feel better so that I can actually enjoy this one. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

I'll be calling Lake Brazos Steakhouse today to warn them of the onslaught of Disc Golfers they're likely to be faced with for lunch. Let's be sure to show up and help them to understand the power of DG sponsorship and support. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

I'm getting as excited about our little announcement as I am about the mini. Two events in our rear view mirror, and due to the wonderful support of Texas golfers, HCF is rocking on to bigger and better things!

[ozdisc]

One little announcement? I am sure we could go for two!

Thunder says 85.

Now don't go spoiling my surprise there, Mate. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Thunder? Is that your Super Hero Alter Ego? You only get one guess, but I suppose I could make an exception if you can supply a doctor's note that you're suffering from multiple personality disorder. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

(Unless you just want to change your guess to 85. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif )

69 is my guess, Joey are you going to be there on SUNDAY?

Chris H. 63 (Thunder 85?)
Frank D. 67
Gary D. 72
Jay B. 70
Jerry P. 69

I don't think there's a chance that Joey would miss it, Chile. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

100

let's say 101! as joey's spokesperson i can tell you...yes, he'll be there sunday/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif.

Yeah, but can you tell me if he'll have entry forms? If the fairways are mowed? If you've got cigarettes? If I'll be able to putt?

What are you doing posting anyway? Shouldn't you be out working on the course?

i don't know,yes,probably not, and i'm not touching that one with a 10ft pole/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif. also yes i should be working but it's dark outside and i'm scared of the dark.

Parts of the back nine get pretty dark towards the end of my rounds.

Forecast for Sunday-High of 70 and no rain. Perfect.

[ozdisc]

George, fear the dark no longer. I am leaving now and will bring a light for the mower. 24 hour shifts from now until tee time.

Thanks, Mark Atwood I hope to see Joey there that way I can pay for the Waco Open.

Yeah Chile, that's been one of the great things about these monthly minis. We've been able to offer players 2 opportunities each month to sign up for other tourneys.

Of course there are those players who will swear that never happened or they didn't know it, but I think they're also the ones that still believe in the Easter Bunny. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

i like the Easter Bunny/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif. tastes like chicken, and lays candy eggs.

hey billy....you got mail.

got it

Hey Chile, bring your checkbook. There maybe another check you want to write tomorrow.

(I'm such a tease. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif )

Looks like great weather. Mid 70's and sunny is the forecast. Perfect. Its a good thing too, 'cause The Beast will take no prisoners!

Don't forget, 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. signups, tee off at 10:30. HCF Mini course record (top score tomorrow) $50 and an HCF Custom Stamped Candy disc for correct turnout predictions. Here's what we've got so far.

Chris H. 63
Frank D. 67
Gary D. 72
Jay B. 70
Jerry P. 69
Billy B. 100
Nody 101

See you folks in the a.m. (I should be getting there around 8:00 a.m. so if you want to sign up before 9, it won't hurt my feelings any. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif )

74

Okay guys, the HCF Exploder is gassed up and loaded and ready to hit the road at the buttcrack of dawn. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Fixin' to turn in myself but I wanted to make a last check of guesses for the HCF Candy Disc.

Here's what we've got.

Chris H. 63
Frank D. 67
Gary D. 72
Jay B. 70
Jerry P. 69
Billy B. 100
Nody 101
Paul K. 74

I'll check it again before I leave in the morning, but that will probably be around 5:45. Any predictions that come in after that are gonna be outta luck, sorry. (I do have a reputation as a hard *** to uphold, you know. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif )

See you folks in the morning! /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

43

Hey PDP, signups end at 10:00 a.m.. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

We'll see if I drag my hung over [*****] out of bed in the morning to claim my disc for stating that there will be 57 people

Well, we're home. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif Still hadn't caught up on all my sleep, evidently and 5 a.m. came a little too early. I'm glad Michelle was able to drive about the last 40 miles. I was ready to be a'sleepin'. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

I'll post all the other scores in a bit, but here's a little taste of the details.

Seth Lawhead wins Open for $43 out of a field of 13 with a 56 and takes the $50 Course Record Bounty as well. That's pretty darn good shooting on that course.

32 folks showed up to test out the new Cameron East course under competition conditions for the first time. Since this is undeniably going to be one of our great state's best courses, all of them should feel like they were a part of something special today. We were expecting a few more folks, but I'm equally glad that players seemed to have gotten out to support the two sanctioned events this weekend too.

The Ace Pot is back on the mend, after being emptied at Lago on the 1st. $32 Went in the pocket of our CTP winner and $32 will travel with us to Lago for April 6th.

Lake Brazos Steakhouse played host to a good number of us, before a bunch of the folks from the morning went back for some random draw dubs.

The Big Announcement came down as promised. Look for another thread on that in just a bit. Let's just say to keep your calendars clear, if you're not planning on making the trip to KC for Am Worlds on July 26-27. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Stay Tuned! /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

[ozdisc]

What a beautiful course. The weather was perfect today. Kudos to Joey and all the crew that have worked on the course. We are all in for a treat next weekend.

I look forward to a week hanging out in Waco.

I just got back from the Baylor Ladies NIT basketball game. My first womens basketball game was great fun. Meeting the captain Jessika Stratton was even better/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif Can't wait to go back on Wednesday night and go one on one with her after the game/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

[jbitner]

mark, great job today. nicely done. what a course! to joey,george and all others who worked on this course. you have really thrown down something special. a sincere thank you for all your efforts. you can really tell how much work has gone into this. AWESOME!!

P.S. Gary, before you post your question about payout, email me. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Had fun today folks. Can't wait to do it again April 27th.

THANKS for running such a fun event Mark, i had a great time as i'm sure everyone else did as well. i was glad to see so many friends show up to support Mark's efforts and experience the course i hope y'all enjoyed it and we hope to see everyone again real soon/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif.

[gnduke]

Now why do you think I would have a question about payout ?

And if you knew I would have a question, why didn't you email me first ?

/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

The Waco folk have dones an awesome job on the Cameron East course. Stay out of the shule and out of the road and out of the river and out of the pond, you will do really well. Sure.

Had a great time and am looking forward to the WACO this year.

Mark, one suggestion I have would be to bring out some DX plastic for payout, especially if you are going to pay that deep into the advanced division.

Pete Lopez, thanks again for the gas money/msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif. See ya this weekend,Pete I'll be needing some cash hahahaahha/msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

Pepper!!! I got your GREEN thing that you lost sunday.A causal player picked it up by hole 16, I'll take it to Waco.

Kyle, I never plan on paying that deep in Adv. or Int., but those guys in the bottom cashing spots just can't beat each other. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif Ties are fun. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Actually, you're right. I meant to bring a bin of DX and just loaded up without them for some, as of now, unknown reason. Recommendation duly noted, thanks.

[gnduke]

Hey leave us last cash people alone.

Every one of these I have been to I have been tied for last place cash.

Even when I changed divisions.

Jerry bring it and tell all those whinning dragons to bring their money also...we playing doubles? /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Gary, you need to teach me your little trick. I apparently need to change divisions also.

[gnduke]

which trick ?

Being old enough to qualify for 2 divisions or always ending up in a tie for last place cash ?

If you wait you'll get to one, for the other, never combine a good drive with a good putt.

hey chile.....speaking of found things,i've got a 172JK valk you convieniently left in the shule on hole 17. i'm holding it for ransom till you get to waco,and change my eye color/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif.

[gnduke]

Who found my phone ?

What hole was it lost on ?

Pete Lopez, I will be teaming-up with Brian, SORRY!

Greetings All,

I'd like to wish all my friends good luck this weekend as many players from all over the state will take part in what is always the busiest DG weekend of the year. PYMWYMI, Paul Giles Memorial and Hill Country Detour always make the last weekend of April the busiest and one of the best weekends for Texas golfers of the season.

This year, and I hope for years to come, there will be another option added for anyone not attending one of those fine events. As always, HCF will be hosting the 4th Sunday Monthly Mini in Waco this coming Sunday, April 27th.

This month, we'll be back at Cameron, as the front 9 holes at Cameron East have been pulled for the next two weekend's worth of festivities (River Drag Boat Races and Cinco De Mayo). Its a great time to practice up in Waco with the Waco Charity Open Am weekend right around the corner.

All the best new cool plastic will be available for you, including some special top of the line goodies we got today. Z-Challengers (man, are these freakin' sweet), highly collectible and totally clear Q-LS's and some of those super cool black Elite X Wasps everyone's been raving about, will all be in the bins along with all the other great plastic our minis have become known for providing.

As always, the minis are divisional singles. We'll start taking signups at 9 a.m. and cut them off around 10 a.m.. After the round, its over to the Lake Brazos Steakhouse and then, if folks want to, someone is almost always running draw dubs after lunch.

Also, don't forget that as always I'll have entry forms for our upcoming PDGA events with me if anyone would like to insure their spot in the field. The Live Oak Summer Open field is beginning to grow, with entries coming in the mail and off of Titledisc.com. Please remember that we've been full with a waiting list for every sanctioned event so far this year and this one should be no different.

Hope everyone can make it out and play one of Texas golfers favorite parks. See you Sunday. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Mark, 27 hole mini with the back nine from the East side.

I don't know about that Billy, but I'm sure I'll be over there after lunch getting ready to whoop up on the OMBs in a couple of weeks. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Can we put it to a vote?

no./msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Nodi you got that 2 on 18 yet?

Billy let's talk on sunday, O.K.?

Well, that's Nody and Billy. Who else's smiling face can we expect to see Sunday? /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Remember, we're at Cameron this month and signups will close around 10:00 a.m..

[27dogs]

looks like i'll be there

[spartan]

I will try to get there on time this time. Unlike last time when you gave me a hard time for not being on time but still had a great time. Time to get a new watch.

Me give someone a hard time for not being there on time? No way! Never! Not me! You must have me confused with someone else who's running 27 events this year and always begs folks to show up on time. There's a lot of us out there, you know. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Cool Frank, it'll be good to see you. Sorry I couldn't swing a visit last Saturday, but the fam had other plans for me.

Think outside the box.[18]27.

I'm always thinking outside the box, my brutha. Always. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Ok I give up. See y'all on Sunday for 18 great hole of disc golf.
'

Well, I'm beat, tired and disgusted with my skills, or lack thereof, but I'll be at Cameron Park in the morning, all smiles. Getting ready to pack up the Exploder and hit the sack early.

All you folk's that didn't get enough golf at Laddie's today and any of you that aren't at one of the other two big DG events in the state this weekend, we want to see you.

Remember that just because the soon to be legendary new Cameron East course has been built across the river, that doesn't change the fact the the original course at Cameron Park always has been and always will be one of the most fun courses in the Lone Star State.

Signup: 9-10 Tee-off: 10:30, Ams $5, Pros $8, Ace Pot $2 (already $81 in it), 1/2 with CTP throwoff if no Aces are hit.

If you need to get a hold of me in the morning call my cell at 830-385-9682. See y'all there! /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Back to the Beast! Just letting you folks know that since the baskets at Cameron East are all back in (they were pulled during last month's mini), that we'll be back at the most demanding and unique course in Texas for the next couple of HCF 4th Sunday Waco Monthlies.

The date this month is May 25th (come out and wish me a happy b-day) and signups close at 10:00 a.m.. This is the day after the big Live Oak ZT10, but if you can make it to Lago the day after Houston (and many of you did), then you can surely make Waco after Live Oak.

Besides, I'm sure after Pro and Am WCO weekends, you guys just can't get enough of the BEAST! /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

The HCF $50 Course Record Bounty will again be on the line and is open to all players in all divisions (unless they're in a division that plays from the one short tee on #6). The current HCF Cameron East record is 56 and is held by Seth Lawhead. It was done under virtually perfect conditions (I believe the official course tournament record is 52 by Ron Russell, shot during WCO Pro weekend, but I could be mistaken).

Man I'm going to have to move my Anniversary date if I have to share it with your B-Day/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif Happy early birthday Mark, how many years till the grand master division?????/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Actually Jason, my b-day is the following day so you and Ginetta's anniversary should be safe.

7 1/2 Calendar years to go until Grand Masters. Hopefully I'll be out of MA3 by then. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Didn't one of the masters players shoot a 51 during pro weekend?

As a matter of fact, now that you mention it, I do remember hearing that a Master shot below Ron's 52, but I don't remember exactly who or what the score was.

The master was Carl Rogers from OK. He shot a 52 and said it was one of the best rounds he had ever played.

Well I would imagine so! If I shot a 62 over there it would be one of my best rounds ever. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

I will still be S.A. after the Z10 and can't make this one but I see y'all next month.

C'mon Billy, I'm not gonna beat you so bad that you can't drive home. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Yes you will. Anyway I talked my wife into letting me play at Live Oak if we stayed down the whole holiday. Got to take the littles ones to the horse races err.. I mean the zoo or Sea World or Fiesta Texas. Which everyone sells the strongest MARGARITAS.

Evening Folks. Old Cameron in the morning. There's a car show on several of the holes of the bEast, so unfortunately no Cam East again.

Signups start at 9 a.m. and end at 10 a.m. with tee off as close to 10:30 as possible.

Ams $5, Pros $8, Ace Pot $2. The Ace Pot is currently sitting at $62.

See y'all in the a.m.. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Thanks to Joey Harrel the mini was held even as our leader was helping out with the Lubbock events. See y'all at Lago.

I thought it was every 4th Sunday?

Correct.....pretty sure, of course, I pull up his site, and the page is blank......

/msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

Yesterday was the 4th Sunday you silly, silly man. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Big thanks to Joey Harrell and Mike Wilson for keeping the mini going Sunday and allowing me not have to have a pretty grueling drive/sleep/drive/work/drive scenario to deal with.

Been spending a few hours with the fam, after getting home late this afternoon and I'll get back to work and back on our beloved board tomorrow. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Want to again thank Mike and Joey for running the June Waco mini. Without there generous help, I'd have been pretty hard pressed to make it happen, not to mention that I wouldn't have gotten to play at one Texas' finest courses, Mackenzie Park.

As most of you have probably figured out by now, there won't be an HCF 4th Sunday Mini for July. I've made this announcement at each players meeting in Waco since LOSO was scheduled. I just wanted to remind everyone.

And now...

...from the Lago thread:

Here's some scoop for y'all:

Hill Country Flyers Monthly Minis will be trading places for one month. In August, we'll flip flop the Waco and Lago minis to coincide with the ZiegenBock Texas 10 Charity Tour events in those places.

There are a couple of reasons for this, with the foremost being that out of town players who would like to get to play an HCF mini as well as a ZT10 will now be able to do so. And, not completely unselfishly, I won't have to do as much driving. I'm present for every ZT10, whether as a player or as staff, so this makes a lot of sense for me personally as well.

The 1st of 2 Waco ZT10's this year is Aug. 2nd. Rather than everyone driving home that night to play at Lago on Sunday, you'll be able to stay over and get in another round on one of the courses that has become an instant classic in our sport, Cameron East. All standard HCF Mini details, such as start time, entry fees and ace pot are as usual.

The ZT10 stop that I'm most looking forward to this year is Aug. 23rd in Lago Vista, BABY! With the Casa Lago Resort now open and many players wanting to make a weekend of it, we'll be staying over for a special 4th Sunday HCF Lago Mini.

Please spread the word of this change as well as you can. I look forward to a fun month for ZT10, HCF and Tejas golfers in August.

Well, we had 9 souls who didn't get enough abuse from The Beast yesterday.

5 Pros
Alex Hughes won with a 61 followed by Mark Smith with a 62. Also playing on our Pro card were Jerry Crumpton, George Morales and Dave Durham.

4 Ams (unless you count the line they put on their card for me - an 11 on #9 was too close to reality to be funny, but at least they wrote me down for 2 on #16 /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif )
Mark Bowman won with a 63, followed by Tony Bender with a 67. Kit Brown and Ginger Bowman (who took the box from the boys on #12 - very nice) also played.

I know this wasn't the normal day for the Waco monthly, but regardless I'm concerned about the low turnouts. The 9 folks we had today is pretty typical of our Waco turnouts over the last few months. Our first time at Cameron East (our second Waco mini), a week before WCO Pro weekend when The Beast was still pretty new, was our high number and since then we're lucky to get a dozen.

No one is more surprised by this than me, I assure you. With the Olde Cameron course being a longtime fave of players all over and The Beast being, in my opinion, now one of the most challenging and beautiful courses in the state (and beyond), the fact that folks don't want to take a shot at these courses once a month is shocking.

I gotta tell you that with this mini not drawing many participants and requiring a minimum of 3 1/2 hours of drive time for me each time out, these numbers are gonna make it tough for me to continue to do them. I'd like to keep these going, but I'm not sure if its going to be possible. If you'd like to see these Waco monthlies continue or if you'd just like to shoot a fun and laid back, yet competitive round at one of the finest courses we have to play in Texas, be sure to try to make it out to the regularly scheduled 4th Sunday HCF Waco Monthly, September 28th. This will be the day after the 2nd Waco ZT10 event.

Hope to see you all there.

hole #17 at East is now known as the hornet's nest. they chased me for at least 100yds of my 200yd dash. down 17's fairway around the corner and 1/4 of the way down 18's fairway. mean little boogers. did i mention they are not happy campers when you're standing on their nest?

George, bet that was quite a sight, you running for your life....

Hope someone takes that nest out!

Where were are the LOCALS For the SUNDAY HCF Mini???

Sorry, I couldn't make it Sunday. I needed to do something enjoyable after Saturday. So, I went fishing all day.

Mark, you are running into the same problem that I faced for years. That is one reason I quit running the mini. The other is I didn't want to be committed every weekend. I think you may see an improvement when Baylor starts back up, because they have now started a discgolf club and have quite a few people interested in playing events. There are just too many local minis within a short drive of most people. I am all in support of you and wish you had bigger turnouts.

I certainly wasn't blaming you Joey. You've done so much for local disc golf in the Waco area that you are beyond reproach, imo. On top of that, your work in getting the Cam East course permanently installed has added to the quality of disc golf for our entire state. Your support of our minis was never in question and thanks for all you do.

Besides, I knew you were going fishing and I understood why after we talked about your 1st round. Maybe I should've gone fishing too. /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

BTW, you and others did warn me prior to deciding on these minis about an historically low turnout, but I was too stubborn to be scared of it. Once I set my mind on something, it really has to take a bite out of me to make me give up on it. I'm starting to feel the nibbles from 4th Sundays.

So how did your fishing go Joey? I think I'm going back to the cabin this weekend for some more speckled trout!!!

Clean your car before you go... /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Joe, I started off with a beetle spin and caught about 30 perch. I then switched over to a Rapala and caught about 25 bass. The largest was probably about a pound and a half. The water was clear and you could see the fish coming after the lure. I am going back this afternoon. Anytime you are up here and want to go, we will. Hope you catch a bunch more specs.

Medium sized Roadrunner with a curly tail silver shad body. That's all you need, buddy. /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

[ozdisc]

I heard a scizzor tail catches lots of Spawning Bass/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

/clipart/smile.gif

Only works if you wear gloves, though.

M-80's bring'em right to the top.

hey cong....I refuse to go anywhere near those evil creatures. 12 stings about the ankles....several more on the shins....1 on my forearm....and 2 upon my arse.

Bman

Can we all say....OUCH!?!?!

didnt know you got stung, thought you just ran for your life, and avoided them.

I HATE bees, and you have never seen a fatboy move so fast, when Im avoiding a hornet/yellow jacket/etc

Nody, were they actual Hornet's? If so, that many stings and to still be walking makes you one tough sonofabitch.

I hate all flying stinging things and have made their extermination my life's passion. Tell me where they were and I'll try to take 'em out next time I'm up.

[jasonc]

If I'm not mistaken about location etc... those are stacatta(locust) killers. They build thier nests in soft ground, are non-poisinous and hurt like hell when they sting. They look allot like a very large wasp and can get to about 3-4" in length. I had a couple in my back yard that decided to chase me and have never gone over a 6' privacy fence faster in my life!!!

Well people since I am in the bug biz, they sound to me to be a species called True Southern Yellow jackets, commonly known as Groung Hornets. Your local Parks Dept. has a bug man that will take care of the problem. If not call me. Does anyone out there have Gary Duke's web address?????? Please. Later Psycho Mike

[playtowin]

anybody know if there are any plans for concrete pads at Cam. East someday? by the way, there's a sweet 1st run T-bird on hole 8. I started down the fairway, hit a tree, and went straight towards the river, inches right of the bleachers, about 20 feet out in the reeds. Probably between 25 to 50 feet right of the broken down dock. Any local swamp ratts want it, its yers, no hard feelings. OR! If you get it back to me, NAME YER PRICE! Its yellow, and has my name on it, been in my bag for 3 years! tried to find it but couldn't. Thanks for reading my rambling! look for the paperback version of "My life without my yellow T-Bird" coming soon!

[gnduke]

Just sent it to you Mike.

[sandalman]

just say NO to concrete! i hope it stays natural for a couple years at least... nothing like feeling grass and dirt under your feet.

[sandalman]

btw, it's "cicada" locusts. if you can find the larva in the ground, you can dig 'em up and barbeque the little buggers. actually taste pretty good!

[spartan]

is that honey roasted or mesquite grilled, sandman? /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif Yummy!

(in my best Homer voice)

...Mmmmmmm, larva......

I think I heard at one time that concrete pads were part of the long term plan for The Beast, but Joey would know what that means more than any vicious rumors from me. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Not all of us like the feel of dirt and grass (and poison ivy, sumac, thorns, greenbriar and rocks) under out feet, oh sandal footed one. I love concrete pads when they're the right size, otherwise they're worse than anything else you could use for a tee pad, imnsho.

Concrete pads are in my plans. Hopefully the city will support it. As for the wasps, they are cicada killer wasps. The do live in the ground. Feed mainly on cicadas(locusts). There are a few hundred living in the ground on the olde course on 18's fairway. These wasps are probably not the ones that attacked Geo. They are not very aggressive.

Sandalman, have you tried them dipped in chocolate?

We call those Cicada-Killers, down here....BIG NASTY looking sumbeeches, too....

they were yellowjackets, and I took out at least 5-6 of them in the mele and during my flight to freedom. HOLE 17 @ East. where the BIG cottonwood is on the right, at the top of the first hill amongst all the debris.

YellowJackets, are UBER aggressive......
