Party Time !!!!!!!

[arlskipshot1]

This Sept. 30th the Arlington Club Championships will take place again with plenty of golf, food, and beer to make for a memorable Sunday. Sign ups will start at 7:30 and end at 9:00 with the first round to follow soon thereafter. Then a free hot dog, chips, watermelon, etc lunch with a quick turnaround for the second round. At the conclusion of the regular golf we will tap a keg ( you may bring your own also ) and shoot some ace in the oaks.
Entry fees are:
$10 renewal for a year
$10 to play for a title
$5 ace pot ( currently at $750 ) optional
$5 ace in the oaks ( all aces split ) optional
This year we will crown all the club champions and list them on display in the kiosk for the next year. This is always a blast so we hope to see you there.

Also we will be receiving 100 full color discs as fund raisers for the VPO that will be going on sale this Sunday the 12th. At $20 ea. these babies will be very special collectors pieces. We got permission from a British artist to use his work which is impressive to say the least and we're anticipating them going fast. This will be the only run so don't wait long.

Dalton, you'll need a fake ID to get around that keg.

[lauranovice]

I may have to make it out for that!

[daltonseabolt]

ok i will make one

[daltonseabolt]

just kidding

[2775]

That the same weekend as Cedar Hill?

[discgolfdog]

There was nothing on the schedule about Cedar Hill. The Lewisville tournament earlier this year was moved to Cedar Hill because of flooding. Lewisville is now on the schedule for the week after VPO. I might actually be able to play my second tournament this year. Yippeee!

[bslamoreaux]

Actually, yes it was. Cedar Hill has been on the LSDGA web site for several months now for that weekend.

I've not notified Gary Duke yet but I need to cancel the planned event anyway. I'll work with Gary to get something planned for next year.

Brian

[arlskipshot1]

I just spoke to Brian L. and he's assurred me that he was going to postpone his event till the spring. You can bet I'll be there too. Anyway everything is kosher for the Club Champ.
Brian says he'll be there.

[arlskipshot1]

Also, John My Hero will be holding an ace race on the 29th at Cedar Hill.

Brenner has already stepped up and asked for 4 of them. They are already going VERY quickly!

[woote01]

Those are sweet discs John, but I was wondering what is he holding in his hand or not holding looks like he just took a puff. :D

[opereida]

Is there any way you can ship one to San Antonio if I pay for shipping too? If so, can i Paypal?

Thanks......Bird

I should explain... Sat. is short for Saturn which is a part of our solar system that shares the same ....Sun....now I'm sure you see the correlation between the two and how I was using the scientific approach to referring to Sunday. :o












I hope they buy that :p

I guess the word frisbee is taboo.

We have been scoping out three new holes in the woods behind 9 and 10 and with a little work we'll try to include them in the club championships for at least one round to get a preview of how they will play in the VPO. One of the holes in particular will be everything Cameron East has to offer. :cool:

That will be really cool!!! I've been back in there looking for those geo things with Hero and there is some really good area down there for holes.

Skipper, don't forget to send me the info so I can get all the flyers going for you.

I was out at the park today and marked the trail to all three holes with orange tape that starts at 9s basket and finishes at 10s tee. I also marked each tee and basket with orange flags. I used yellow paint to mark all the brush we need to clear. The first two holes are not playable right now and as soon as we get clearance with Martin at the Parks Dept. we plan to make them playable. Anyone that wishes to can go back there and scope it out.

[my_hero]

I'll gladly measure the "new holes" tomorrow. Todays GPSr's are more accurate than you think.

[sandalman]

my rangefinder in the car... then we'll know for sure :)

[my_hero]

and not use the multi billion dollar sats orbiting le earth?

[sandalman]

they're good for roughing it in, but rangefinder is much more accurate. it might not be clear enough yet for the rangefinder tho.

[gotcha]

.

[sandalman]

better for what? both are very useful.

[my_hero]

He's just stirring the pot. ;)

[arlskipshot1]

He's just stirring the pot. ;)


??? You don't have to stir pot ???? :confused:

[DOC65]

It all depends on the quality of the GPS and the Rangefinder. You do get what you pay for. :D

[my_hero]

Pat and i have pretty good taste. Incidentally, his rangefinder and my GPSr were never more than 6 feet different. (Pat would say 2 yards) :D

[DOC65]

Bring your GPS to Bear Creek Wed. I want to see how it compares to my range finder. I've been curious on how they compare myself.

[sandalman]

if you take a tripod for the rangefinder, you'll be able to figure out how far john's gps is off :)

[DOC65]

I'll also bring my 100' steel tape to use as a unbiased judge. :eek: :D

[sandalman]

i'll bet ya the laser is more accurate than stringing the tape together three or four times in succession.

[my_hero]

I'll bet that you would have NEVER been able to string the 100' chain/rope on the 2nd temp 100' hole. Too many briars and underbrush for a string/chain. I measured 103 feet, Pat measured 34 yards. :D

[my_hero]

In case you are wondering: The 3 TEMP holes that may or may not be used in this year's VPO are located behind Hole #9 and play in a loop endind just south of Hole #10. Right now it is very ROUGH and overgrown back there. Orange tape has been hung along the paths and potential fairways, a pair of pin flags mark the 3 pads, and a single pin flag marked the potential basket location.

1st TEMP hole played 85-90 feet straight before a hard left turn up a hill for another 100 or so feet. Total distance <font color="green">IN A STRAIGHT LINE</font> equals 160 feet. There is plenty of room to make it longer/harder if needed.

2nd TEMP hole was nicely elevated and requires shooting to a much lower green through a tight gap. Total distance <font color="green">IN A STRAIGHT LINE</font> equals 103 feet.(That's not a typo.) There is also a few different areas the basket could be placed, stretching it another 50-60 feet.

3rd TEMP hole is the nicest and probably requires the least amount of work. It tees from an elevated pad through a narrow fairway to a landing zone about 280 feet out. It then plays another 50 feet to the right where one basket could be located, or it can play another 100 feet to a second location. Total distance <font color="green">IN A STRAIGHT LINE</font> equals 320 feet to the short location, or 375 feet to the longer location.

If you have some time during your next casual round be sure to check out the possible TEMP holes. Feedback is welcome. I personally think that they are *acceptable* TEMP holes, but if we are looking for something more permanent; then more time needs to be spent mapping the land. There is A LOT of land back there, <font color="red">let's not limit ourselves.</font>

[gotcha]

Okay....what's the deal? Are these "temp" holes just that or might they possibly become permanent? Either way, John's right about "A LOT of land back there".

[arlskipshot1]

Hey Jerry, are you possibly considering making it to the VPO?
If we were to set up permanent holes back there, then the majority of members would want to consider losing other holes to keep it at 18 total. Perhaps #2 since the flow there is backwards and maybe #12 and #13 since there's one tree total on the two holes combined. Maybe leave the sleeves and rotate the layout??? We have some options, but in the meantime we're thinking it would be an interesting change to include three holes back there in the 24 hole layout we need for the VPO.
Hope you get the chance to see it.

[my_hero]

Getting rid of 2, 12, and 13 would be a horrible decision.

The City is considering letting us expand the course by a few holes. This is something that the City has never considered before. We can not pass this opportunity up. I'd personally like to see a few really wooded holes at The Vet, but let's take our time and find the best holes that the land offers. Then, like you said, Rotate the layout of what we play on Sundays/Wednesdays so that we play 18 holes.

Getting the 3 marked holes in before the VPO is totally doable, but i don't think some of them would be the right choices for perm holes given the land available.

I hope fellow ADGAers see the opportunity at hand.

[arlskipshot1]

I totally agree with you, John. I didn't mean to imply that the majority wants to lose holes. It is true, though, from the feedback I'm getting, that the majority doesn't want to play more than 18 holes at a time so I've been saying that the options are losing holes or rotating. Truth is most don't want to lose holes so I'm seeing rotating as the solution.
I believe we should have a formal written "poll" to present at the Club Champioships along with the reminder that it will be club officers that will make the final decisions and encourage participation.

[gotcha]

If there's the possibility of additional, permanent holes at Veterans Park, those new holes could simply be "lettered" as opposed to renumbering the course (or eliminating some holes altogether). I recall playing a course like that in Ann Arbor.....one could play the original 18....or one could play 18 plus the "A through F" holes to make a 24 hole course. I do like the idea of a blended 18 for minis and the like.

Either way, I think it would be great for the Vet to have some technical, woodsy holes. I always thought that large amount of land in the back corner of the park would make some good holes for expansion. If you're only looking at three additional holes, I believe there should be plenty of acreage to design one or two true par 4's in that loop? :p

[sandalman]

yeah, in the long run theres plenty of room back there. the proposed temp #3 has potential for becoming a par 4.

i'm in with rotaton over elimination.

[Big E]

I go riding back there now and then and there is room for a lot more than 3 good holes.... On a side note anyone know I can get in contact with Chris Cantrell I found his Proto CE JLS in the creek at fritz and Ben Reynolds Wraith... there are no numbers on the plastic but I know the Cantrell's and Ben sorry about any spelling

[woote01]

Look foward to see you guys at the course championship. I thought I throw my two cents in and say please never take disc golf holes out of the ground. Lubbock has a 21 hole course and its where i learned to play, I love having three extra holes to play during my round of golf. Also I don't know how many times I have played 18 holes out at the Vet and just a little more golf and played 1-3 annd then called it a day. I vote for MORE HOLES! :cool::D

[my_hero]

Hats off to Claydog and Skipper for a well run event!

Congrats to Claydog for becoming the ADGA member of the Year.

Though Nolan and i were tied after round 1, he put the smashing on us late in the 2nd round. After hole 4 there was a 3 way tie for 1st(nolan, maiuro, kerr) with Pepper only 1 back. Once we got out into the field Nolan starting going nuts with unanswered birdies on 11, 13, and 14. With 6 holes to go Nolan had me by 4 and Kerr by 3. It was time to concede to him and start ace running. That attitude netted me no ace and 2 5's coming in. :D

Here's the open champion list since the turn of the century(since most of us already know that Jendel ruled the late 90's):

2000 - <font color="red">Maiuro</font>
2001 - <font color="red">Maiuro</font>
2002 - <font color="blue">Grider</font>
2003 - <font color="red">Maiuro</font>
2004 - <font color="blue">Grider</font>
2005 - <font color="red">Maiuro</font>
2006 - <font color="green"> Pepperling</font>
2007 - <font color="blue">Grider </font>

Who will be the 2008 Champ? Can't wait to find out.

Thanks for the fun times ADGA!!!!!!
