OMB v YGB 2009

[baldguy]

Gary Watts said he'll play McKinney with ya. Go grab his number from the phone list thread (under omb vs. ygb) and give the dude a ring

[Big E]

Thanks Josh!

[Big E]

I aced the shortest hole on the course maybe shortest in the state! Still felt good! I made 25 bucks off that! Next Friday We are going to play Town Lakes around 9 if anyone wants to join.

[okcacehole]

Tomorrow we are back to the Lake Course - 5:30 PM start

McKinney tourney this weekend

oh yeah

[baldguy]

man that dude has some style :D

[Big E]

I lost a white ESP XL and a Peach ESP Meteor. If anyone wants to call the number provided there is a huge reward:)

[baldguy]

All unclaimed discs that were found and turned in to tournament HQ this weekend were donated to charity. I didn't check all of them, but I don't remember seeing discs matching those descriptions. You weren't at the tournament though, so yours prolly wasn't in there ;)

[Big E]

I was there before you where on Friday! So you brought my bad karma discs and gave them to unsuspecting little kids............. you bad man :(

[okcacehole]

Guess that means my White Valk was not located from Friday either :D

if I only had a replacement

Tomorrow night - GB at 5:30....

[okcacehole]

From the Pizzaman:

I got word this morning that Jimmy Porter is a GO!!!!!!

The baskets will hopefully be going in this weekend.

In other news, I also got word that another basket was stolen. That makes 3 baskets in Carrollton in the last year.

back to Jimmy Porter, the course is marked with distances on the stakes. I am told that the material to make some tee boxes has been donated. (crushed granite) but I don't know exactly what he was talking about.

After we get these back in the ground. We will work on the city letting us add 9 more baskets to Jimmy Porter to make it 27 holes.


I think Todd and I are playing the Fritz mini tomorrow if anyone is in

[okcacehole]

Happy Birthday Bucky

[okcacehole]

sorry but don't waste your time..our newest invention is worthless...no golfer or park user will appreciate this...

[Dstruchen]

So what's the plan for golf tonight?

[exczar]

This golfer will appreciate it, since it is the closest course to my house, and I may appreciate it more, since if it keeps getting bad mouthed, I will not have any problems getting some quick practice rounds in, because I will have the course all to myself?

Are the baskets in yet? Is there a course map available?

[Giles]

Depending on the weather.

I've got my skillshot here at work. We could play Porter.

[exczar]

If you are deadset against not skipping playing tonight, I would recommend Harrington. It plays very well after precipitation, you just have to tee from the grass.

[Giles]

If you are deadset against not skipping playing tonight, I would recommend Harrington. It plays very well after precipitation, you just have to tee from the grass.

Lake Lewisville Park is the best "wet" course in the area. However I've given up on golf tonight. Might try to arrange some Tigre Woods 10 disc golf on the Wii or something.

[okcacehole]

There are no baskets out there and if you walk the back side you will be covered in chiggars like you have never seen before

and I am not "badmouthing" anything. Bryan specifically told us what the problems would be in getting the new course back in and then all the baskets are placed exactly where they said they should not be.

It's my opinion, but I can guarantee it will never hold the appeal it did before and is currently very dangerous to anyone not golfing, but using the new trail through the course even if you are paying attention.

Very sad that Kevin had said all of us would get together and plan the new course and then just went ahead w/o input from anyone. Typical Carrollton Disc Golf - ideas made by a few who barely even golf out there, but don't want to allow anyone else to make suggestions or ideas.

[okcacehole]

No discin today at GB after 12hrs of straight storms...see some of you this weekend and next Thursday

[gnduke]

That is a shame, the land did have some potential, just needed creative routing to make good use of the available creek crossings.

[exczar]

So, if there are no baskets out there yet, there is still the possibility of a redesign. Since you have walked the course, you should get ahold of Bryan and let him know where the trouble spots are, and what you think can be done about them.

[okcacehole]

Bryan hasn't been out there himself unless it was in the last few days, but that boy works many, many hours each week

There SHOULD be the possibility of redoing some of it, but if the baskets go in, what can we do?

I don't want to hate all of it, but the course runs the sidewalk almost entirely..and that was the fear Bryan and the city had..and it is MUCH shorter now

a few original holes still is very nice and a few decent new ones, but the cons definately outweight the pros after walking it.

I would like to see a few others hike it (with some dryer sheets in the socks) and get their thoughts also, but the 3 of us were not impressed and more sad

[exczar]

Last Sunday, I saw the unmown prairie that used to be the fairways of holes of, I think, #s 9,10,15 and 16 while driving up Josey to go to Greenbelt. That didn't shock me that it was in that condition, since there are no baskets and the Parks Dept basically had no reason to mow that area.

So, what is this "dryer sheets in the socks" trick? Haven't heard about that one.

[okcacehole]

it keeps tick and chiggars away

[okcacehole]

may or may not make Thursday golf depending on the Dallas Jury System:(

[okcacehole]

GB today at 5:30 - next week is the Lake

[Dstruchen]

Bring it!

[okcacehole]

Broughten :)

[okcacehole]

Anderson threw the hot Adv Masters 2nd round yesterday and is only 1 stroke out of 1st at the Majestic today!!!!

This Thursday is the Lake

[gnduke]

Go Manderson, teach them Texas golf.

[demrick]

Special Request: Please keep an eye out for two stolen baskets, they were stolen from the Weatherford DGC on Saturday, June 20th around 10pm.
The descriptions are as follows, both are DGA Mach III's. The first one is the practice basket with the DGA logo on the nuber plate and various stickers on the pole inside the chain assembly. The second is Hole 18's basket with the number 18 in bright red on the number plate.

[okcacehole]

Will do Dave - sucks to hear..#18 at GB is still missing also

[baldguy]

Also my old homemade Mach II "portable". Stolen from Rockwall the last weekend in April.

[manderson]

Go Manderson, teach them Texas golf.

Couldn't quite do it. those courses wore me out! It is a great tournament on 3 super courses and an awesome pro field. I would recommend to anyone that could play in the Majestic to do so.

[gnduke]

Looks like you kept it close, good job.

[demrick]

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.

[okcacehole]

Nobody called a Thursday round - do we want to head to Porter and see the new layout?

[okcacehole]

Saturday the Irving Disc Golf Club is coming to Jimmy Porter to hold their mini beginning at 10am

[berry]

how is porter now?

[exczar]

In the ground, with some future modifications to be made to a few tees/holes.

[okcacehole]

8/13 - Lake Lewisville - 5:30 start

[Thor]

Come own, guys sign up for Cedarville Open! Lets go.

[gnduke]

Yes, attend the Cedar Hill event, and then come out for the DNCCT event at Flagpole Flats the next weekend.

If we can raise enough at this event to pay for the baskets, they will be installed at Samuel Grand this fall.

[Thor]

Nice!

[okcacehole]

8/20 Porter

[baldguy]

lake park today - 5:30

[okcacehole]

back to Porter this week?

[Thor]

How many holes did they move? Parakeet 980 Parker said they moved hole 10, but I didn't know if they moved any others.

[okcacehole]

Not sure Bucky..haven't been out there in over a week...8 rounds in OKC though..it was great - 298 players was amazing

[Thor]

Nice.. Sounds like fun.

Parakeet 980 said hole 10 and 12 were longer, tougher.

[exczar]

I did something, disc golf wise, on Sunday, August 23rd, that I haven't done in, I don't know, well over 15 years, and I probably will never do again. Any guesses? And no, it was getting an ace, for those smart@$$es who thought that.

[Giles]

Did you get lit up like an old Christmas tree?

Haleigh & I played Porter yesterday. Looked fairly gross. Trash, tall weeds, construction equipment. I'm sure the out-of-town players will be impressed. Why are the casuals in Carrollton so destructive?

[exczar]

You should have seen the tall grass and reeds in the creek right after it was reinstalled - it is much more navigable now. I was there on Sunday, but I didn't see much trash to speak of, and the construction material just shows that the course is still a work in progress.

What really freaked me out was the fact that the pond was completely filled in! I don't know if it was done on porpoise, or if it just silted in. I'm thinking it was the former case.

And, no, what I referred to above was strictly disc golf related, not something I was doing while I was disc golfing! What you were referring to ( I think) will never be seen again.

[Giles]

I did see it right after the reinstall. It is better, but still far from good and very far from what a public park should look like.

[Meast918]

Is there a mini at AC tonight?

[Giles]

6:00 $7 to get in on the ace pot. Dewayne hit it last week (12 long, lefty hyzer skip)

[Thor]

I did see it right after the reinstall. It is better, but still far from good and very far from what a public park should look like.


Casual beginners do not know any better as far as the trash. They leave trash around because they are retarded :).That said, there desperately needs to be more trash cans out there.

[Meast918]

DG Course Review has the Dunn Memorial Java Classic taking place this next weekend. Is this true because I read somewhere that it was cancelled this year?

[okcacehole]

It is not taking placed this weekend...I think it even already happened for this year

[baldguy]

Actually it was canceled for a variety of reasons. It will probably return for next year though, depending on how a few things shake out for the TD.

[okcacehole]

he said Thursday..not this year and Duke owns the buckets now :)

[prairie_dawg]

Which CFRs should I get:
Glow Champ Destroyers,
Glow Champ XCalibers,
Champ TeeRex-Xs or something else?:D

[gnduke]

Not Duke, Dallas Area Disc Golf owns the baskets.

Speaking of baskets, we need hole sponsors for Samuel Grand (going in this fall after it passes one more committee). A full hole is $500 and gets you about an inch across the bottom of the sign and your choice of the remaining holes.
There will also be half and quarter holes, but they have to go into a pot and purchase a basket when they reach $500. If you get together with up to 4 friends and pool $500, you get a choice the remaing holes too. Half holes are $250, quarter is $125.

[baldguy]

lake park thursday? It might be the only dry ground in town

[Meast918]

Anyone know how bad it is at the Mckinney courses? I want to get down there in the next day or so and play, but I have no idea the conditions all they way up here in Sherman.

[okcacehole]

Josh - Lake works for me this week and I am sure Gary is in also - I'll let the others know

[baldguy]

I don't think I can make it today. this client is willing to pay me overtime, so I must take advantage of it when I can. Hopefully next week.

[Thor]

"client" yeah right, whats the lucky guys name?


:)

[Thor]

Fritz mini tomorrow I believe..

[okcacehole]

correct..see ya there

[okcacehole]

9am Mesquite if you are not playing the Lake

[okcacehole]

Back to Porter this week?

[Thor]

Sign up for Mesquite! Do it.

[Giles]

Hey Duke,
The Colony is expanding Bill Allen to 18 holes with some slight redesign. I don't know what kind of free time you have or what but I thought you might like to know. Possibly prevent another disaster like Shawnee's redesign. State coordinator design validation guy.

[exczar]

Shawnee is the only course I have ever seen that had a new 9 holes basically overlaid onto the existing 9. Surely they are not going to do that at Bill Allen.

Good news about adding 9 more holes. That course has been there, what, 20 years or more now?

What type of time frame are they looking at for the redesign and installation?

[Giles]

I don't know a lot about it. It will not be a "overlay" design. They are adding holes in the woods back by the pavilion. I did read a rumor about two holes sharing a basket. That is what prompted me to try to get Dukes involved. As for time frame of install. The city was looking for people to help install benches and tee signs the same weekend of MJCO. I'm sure the rain put a stop to that plan. This is all 3rd hand info though.

[gnduke]

Not sure who to talk to in the parks dept out there about design and design approval.
I'll make some phone calls, but parks depts normally do not like talking to new people when they already have a point of contact for a project.

[okcacehole]

Porter tomorrow at 5:30 - if everyone can get there earlier, even better ( providing the rain holds off)

9am Mesquite for Doubles on Saturday

[gnduke]

I was able to reach the people in charge of the project. The design has been done, but it is not too late to make changes if needed. We should be able to get together next week to go over the design. Hopefully they have done an excellent job and need no changes. If not, they seem open to suggestions.

[Giles]

Thanks for looking into that Duke. I would have done it but I don't have any credentials. "Hey, I've been playing for 12 years and have played 75 courses. You should listen to me". lol.

[okcacehole]

Good Work Duke - I love that 9 hole out there, but 18 is even better

see you all at Porter later - sky is finally turning nice and blue

[Thor]

What side of beltline is it on? When is it playable?

[okcacehole]

been playable for years bucky..not sure if the 9 is pulled for redesign (giles?)...north of beltline in the colony..it should be on the course list for directions ..Spring Creek maybe..been a while since I have been out there

Gary and I, Parker and Tabor starting doubles tomorrow morning at 9am..Giles and Haleigh?? Bucky and Justin???

[Giles]

It is off Paige in the Colony. I'm sure they havn't pulled it for redesign.

I don't think we are going to Meskeeto tomorrow. I'm sure it will not be in the morning if we do.

[baldguy]

found an image for Watts

http://failblog.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/epic-fail-acronym-fail.jpg

[Thor]

Ok, I have been to that course, that is pretty close to me. I was confused, I'm talking about the new course hat went in over by 30 and beltline. Aren't they holding an event there next sunday?

[okcacehole]

Yes, there is a tourney at the new course Sunday - if you are playing let me know and I might roll out there with ya

[Giles]

who,what,where,now? the new GP course, a tourney? Sunday the 11th?

Discin' fer a cure is Sat at Towne Lake.

[Thor]

yes, the next day after the TL event, I hear there is a 2 rnd non sanctioned event at a new course. Which I have no idea what the name of the course is..

I will let ya know Murphy of my plans as soon as I do. Kinda depends on the weather..

[Giles]

Turner Park www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=3596

It looks really good! Looks like concrete tees, good sign and some small foot bridges are on the way. I may just wait till that is all installed to check it out. Word is, a few of the tees are uphill.

From what I can tell, the mini is at 8am! That has got to be the earliest mini ever.

[gnduke]

It would be nice if they would let me know about the event, even if it is unsanctioned.

[Thor]

Cool. I really wanna go play this.

[okcacehole]

The event is on Titledisc Duke and is a fundraiser for the VPO

[gnduke]

Back to The Colony course question. I have good news and bad news.

Good news is the crew seems to have a good basic understanding of disc golf.

Bad news: if you like the current course, you will not like the new layout.

The preliminary map measures about 6300 feet.

This is a rough layout from our walk through today.

http://www.lsdga.com/maps/thecolony.html

[Thor]

Pumped about watching the USDGC NOW!1

[okcacehole]

9am Lake on Saturday

the USDGC broadcast was awesome today..and I missed Joe's shout out to me..booger

Sounds like Towne Lake is underwater..

Ray??? and new updates?

[Thor]

Turner Park is pretty sweet. Giles was right about the uphill tee off spots. There's also down hill and sideways tee off spots too :). Once they get concrete in or level that out this course will be even better. It was still fun, tho the conditions made it pretty with the frozen feet and slippery slopes.

[okcacehole]

The land shots of the course look great..may have to head there this weekend

Porter on Thursday at 5:30 ( earlier is better if people can do it )

should actually be rain-free, but we shall see

[Giles]

It isn't the water in the sky I'm worried about. It is the water on the ground. I'm thinking that place will be under water.

[okcacehole]

not at all...it drains very well...see '03-'09 posts :)

[Thor]

They just need to plant about 500 pallets of nice grass and drop about 2 tons of Mulch around the baskets at porter then things would be great!

Anyone know anything about the new extra holes at porter?


Pizza, Gary Duke, you guys know if there is anymore land available near Carrollton for a course? I have some free time to mess with something like that, I know Parker does too :). Just not sure how to get the ball rolling.

[gnduke]

If you have time and energy to burn, the Colony crew has a few fairways to cut through some fairly light underbrush and I am sure they would love the help.

If you are interested, send me an IM and I'll give you the head guys number.

They already have the baskets and plan to move forward with the course as soon as the weather permits.

<a href="http://www.lsdga.com/maps/thecolony.html">The new Colony layout</a>

[okcacehole]

Carrollton, not Colony :)

[Thor]

The PWO is gonna be cool. That Dogwood course is a dirty bastard!

[okcacehole]

Texas 2 Step this weekend - Saturday Gateway and Sunday Lake Lewisville

[Thor]

You know dayum right! I am 100% in for Sat about 70% for Sunday.

[Thor]

Whats the deal with the scores from Mr.Jimms? Are they gonna be turned in by next rating period? Anyone....anything...

[okcacehole]

Pizza does this every single year - I would ask him

[baldguy]

I sent him the scores.... I can do it again if I need to.

[Thor]

He said they should be turned in along with the odga fees....

[okcacehole]

After a lack of renewals through the "club" this year and a lack of renewals in general, I will not be renewing the OMB YGB club under the ACP.

The PDGA discusssion board has not retained the ability to keep our group informed.

I would love to see a better club name, idea and focus, but as we all use other outlets to discuss disc golf, this has become a unused media.

$25 to carry it on, but I think that small amount of money is still better spent elsewhere.

See everyone on the course

[baldguy]

yeah... plus the new PDGA site is so annoying with all the ads, I'd rather use other modes of communication

[Dstruchen]

We could use the money for bowling?!

[okcacehole]

Coming soon I am sure Deidre - cold will keep us off that course one day, but I'll keep rooting for playable golfing

I would encourage all of you to join under the ACP again this coming year..just pick your club that is on there and use them for your discount..I am going to help out my TDSA club, being a lifetime member, but you can choose anything

ACES 2010

[gnduke]

If this is going away, we may start up something under DADG or LSDGA.

[okcacehole]

DADG needs to be more than the BB gang - they don't even leave that course :)

[exczar]

DADG is actually the non-profit org. that is raising money for new courses. DDG is the org. based at BB.

Gary is not BB - actually I'm not sure where his home course is.

[Giles]

dadg needs to be more than the bb gang - they don't even leave that course :)

[rondpit]

Hey Big D,
Ryan and I will be in town from about the 23rd to the 2nd. Looking forward to some Dallas sunshine and dg.

I will post here in the hopes of finding some daytime golfing buds. We will be in downtown Dallas, so we can get to most of the courses on the east side of the plex. Not too picky. Haven't hit Vetarens, Fritz, or Lake L in a while. Turner was nice. Never played CH when it wasn't raining. Rockwall ANYtime. Haven't seen the new one in McK. Is AudoForgotten still there?

Oh, and I guess I should ask ---- any thing local on the calendar for the 26th or 27th?

Thanks,
Ron Pittman

IMO Rockwall is THE must play in DFW. I'd be willing to bet Cedar hill has some pin locations that will be new to you. I like Towne Lake in McKinney, you should check it out.

[gnduke]

Ron, good to hear you are coming, wish I was going to be in town to play. I'll be leaving on the 22nd 'til New Year's eve.

As far as the DADG vs DDG, DADG is not a disc golf club in the normal sense. It is a registered 501.c(3) charitable organization working to raise funds for disc golf courses in the DFW metroplex. There are only 11 groups registered with the IRS with Disc Golf in the name, DADG is the first alphabetically.
