[okcacehole]

You also Mark - I was going to start the 2009 thread last night at 12:00+, but I knew you were already on it :)

Just finished a fun round in Mesquite with Krell, Jack and Kevin..

then another round at the Bon with Krell

70's tomorrow and the next day

who is playing tomorrow?

looks like CH on Saturday at 10am

[steve_parker]

meeting Tabor at 10am at BB Owens Friday morning.....

Saturday at CH sounds good to me......

[baldguy]

Looks like I'm heading to Tyler in about an hour to meet up with Giles, Haleigh and Mitch. If anyone wants to join, gimme a ring and I can pick you up on the way.

[okcacehole]

No Tyler or Z for me today - need to head over to HEB before mom flies back to Atlanta tomorrow morning

10am CH is still looking good for Saturday

[okcacehole]

Did you go to Tyler and abuse their trees also? :)

Hope Jerry is okay :p

[baldguy]

Haleigh will pay for that one :D

10:00am CH, we are on our way

[okcacehole]

Not sure what those singles fellars did the first round but Josh and Gary got Krell and I by 3 sticks

2nd round of singles Jack shot +2 on the backside and I shot +4..JJ and Bucky were +2 or 3 I think also. 10 players for singles that round.

9AM McKinney

[okcacehole]

Good shot Deidre!!!

[Dstruchen]

Thank you! I had some shots that turned out pretty good...that new camera works well.

[reddman]

Nice avatar! :p Looks like it was a bad shot. :D

[okcacehole]

I hadn't even tee'd off yet :)

another god one Deidre:

HAHA...where is that?

[baldguy]

it's a couple years old, but I took that shot at the Blue Angels DG Course in Pensacola, FL. That was back when there was only 1 permanent course... they now have 2 permanent 18-holers and 1 temp 9-holer. fun times :)

[18567]

One week and no posts. The thread's feelings are hurt.

[Thor]

It's daylight savings fault.

[okcacehole]

Way to go on that ACE Haleigh!!!

[haleigh]

Thanks..I would like to thank my sponsor, Giles Sowerby, without him paying my entry fees none of this could be possible. lol

[disc_golfer11]

Where is it goin' down at on Saturday?

[disc_golfer11]

I'll be at Lewisville at 9 am on Saturday!! any takers? its gonna be a nice day.

[disc_golfer11]

change of plans. Mesquite on Saturday.

[okcacehole]

Did you split with him Haleigh? :)

Maybe Mesquite, but we were there recently...still 9am or what time?

Watts - you in this week?

[oceanjones]

Holy Shacoly...JohnBoy is alive!!!

[garywatts]

not at 9am, and not sure yet if i am gonna play or not, i will give you a call friday
will this be a singles event only??????

[okcacehole]

hahah...you know I will play some Sat dubs ...and not 9am either...

[okcacehole]

Josh - is McKinney to far for you while you are on call?

We can still work the Lake and LL, or maybe the Frtiz mini--not sure how far you can get out

[baldguy]

my oncall got moved to next weekend... I can play wherever. someone let me know

[okcacehole]

I'll buzz you in the morning - we didn't set a time yet

[baldguy]

got me some metal on #17 during our *third* round of the day. beautiful weather, good times :)

golf tomorrow? anyone off Monday?

[okcacehole]

I would probably shoot another one today Josh - just give me a ring

[baldguy]

looks like no golf for me today. gotta go do some wedding stuff

[okcacehole]

working tomorrow but I could make a 3:30 or 4pm round at GB - let me know if you might be in and I will get to work a little earlier

[baldguy]

yeah I should be down for that

[my_hero]

FYI, if you guys aren't on DiscGolfersR.us (http://discgolfer.ning.com/profile/My_Hero) you need to get on there. It's all about DiscGolf with over 6000 members in a short amount of time. It BLOWS this site away. It has personal pages, email, message board, club pages, live chat, tournament reminders, etc. Just go through my page and click sign up!

Just haven't seen many of you OMBs or YGBs over there yet.

[okcacehole]

I am a member, just haven't messed with it much...working on a sponsor there John :) Nothing wrong with this one except for the past few months of "updates" and "enhancements"...

Now let me find my logon and I will see what is new there

[my_hero]

Nope, i already have the best sponsor for my needs, and a great one for our sport and equipment. You know that.

Though 6200 members in just a few months is impressive. I'm interested in seeing how quickly it outgrows...well, you know. It sure does help me keep up with people that are always on the move. Send me that request once ya find your info.

Don't worry though, we can't just drop this site. If we did then they would have won. :D

[RustyP]

Word has it the new Town Lakes course in McKinney is supposed to be open for play this Saturday. I'm gonna be in town...anyone plan on heading up that way on Sat morning perhaps?

[okcacehole]

We are heading there Saturday morning IF it does get done in time - still waiting on a green light

[Big E]

Is this the one that is across the creek from the current course in McKinney that Ron designed?

[Thor]

Is the mini going to be sat or sun at town lake?

[Giles]

Sunday @ 10. $7 with $2 of it going to an ace pot that is currently at 0 thanks to Trey hitting 2 long (I watched from the bridge).
I should know by noon tomorrow if the course will be in for this weekend. Also keep in mind that even thougth the baskets will be in, it isn't finished. For example, we need to put fill dirt around the sleves. A foot bridge will be built, on 16 I think. Some trimming will need to be done. In other words, If something doesn't look right, it hasn't been fixed yet.

[Thor]

I was on Trey's card on that ACE... it was one of the coolest I have seen.

I just want to play the course, I understand that some slacks can't get S*%t done!! :) j.k.

[okcacehole]

http://photos-b.ll.facebook.com/photos-ll-snc1/v2061/9/20/1666057348/n1666057348_104033_5576.jpg

Here we go

[gnduke]

Guess it is time to go and see the new course.

[okcacehole]

10am Saturday...dress warm :)

Anyone up for a GB round tomorrow at 4pm?

[Giles]

baskets will be in by noon today. I don't think they have the trashcans in yet. The sleeves need fill dirt. A footbridge will be built on 16.

[RustyP]

Awesome...I'll see you guys out there Saturday morn!

[baldguy]

happy b-day reddman!

I'm hoping to break away from work duties in the morning... we'll see

[okcacehole]

B-Day Mark - Enjoy it!!!

Josh - you going to make it out? Sounds like Nate, Rusty, Leonel and I will be out there also with Krell and Watts most likely. Maybe Duke

Sent JJ a msg but haven't heard back yet...what about you Bucky and Parker?

Course record after day one from short to short is 49 and I heard 53 from longs to short

[okcacehole]

Another fun addition to DFW golf for sure..

8 of us played some singles and Bucky shot -3..Leonel and I were +3 and JJ +6..not sure on Rusty, Nate..Thomas was -2 I think and Watts ++ :)

Nice use of the land for sure...bring your straight and turn-over game

Can't wait to play the long pins in a few months

How did the longs shoot JJ, Bucky and Rusty???

[prairie_dawg]

Definitely a fun course and a challenge when the leaves come out. I shot a 58, missed several of the shorter hole birdies and had a spit through on the only hyser out there. That sign on #13 faiway has got to go or it will be gone before too long as I saw it hit once and heard it hit a couple other times. :o

Hey N8, you leave a star wraith out there? I got one with just Bitner :eek:, left by the creek. Not even in the water ;)

[okcacehole]

That metal gas sign? Reminds me of the Vet's sign on #2

Sounds like Leonel took them out today at the mini and afterwards for the $5 a head..the locals are practicing their new baby :)

I think it can go in the top 10 in DFW pretty quickly

[Thor]

top3 imo

[Big E]

What would your top three be? I would have to probably say: Rockwall, Veterans, Crowley without trying out the new course! :D

[okcacehole]

Rockwall, Z and Cedar Hill in no particular order

[oceanjones]

Vet beats out Cedar Hill?

I did a little better on Sunday from the shorts shooting 52 (Leonel got me by a stroke).

Longs I shot 56, Rusty 57 I think, Bucky 59 or 60.

Par from shorts = 58
Par from longs = 59

Based on both asthetics and course play here are my top 5... not in order , it just depends on what your in the mood for...
Cedar Hill
Rockwall
Towne Lakes
Crowley
Zboaz

[oceanjones]

I'm gonna tell you top 3 and why.

Rockwall...Its Beautiful and you have to stay tough mentally, you have to have the whole bag of shots, some boom is rewarded (does not help me, but I think it should be part of the game), teeboxes.

Cedar Hill...Its beautiful, you have to have all your shots, got to stay loose on this super technical course, two great courses on one piece of property, teeboxes.

Towne Lakes...The main reason it catapults up there is risk vs reward...there are at least 6 holes where you can go birdie or bogey if you miss your line. Also, mature trees will make it a summer favorite, its beautiful, you got to have every shot in your bag, two holes for the big boomers. Tee boxes

There is only one reason I don't have Zboaz on this list...its too crowded. Not the courses fault...its a fantastic course...but it does weigh in to my golf playing plans.

Crowley is great, but does not have the risk vs reward of Towne Lakes, though it does have a lot of variety with multipe tee boxes.

[Giles]

I hear "risk reward" thrown around a lot and Towne Lake is the first course I've played where you truly have to choose if you want the safe 3 or go for the tempting two and have the very real danger of ob strokes if you don't hit the line clean. I'd say about half the holes make me think of my options before I throw.

Next summer (once the course is dialed in) long tees to B pins this course will be nuts.

[Big E]

What would your top three be? I would have to probably say: Rockwall, Veterans, Crowley without trying out the new course! :D




I am also a big fan of Gateway Park and it would probably replace Veterans once the fairways receive a little trimming on a couple of holes! Okay maybe hard to pick top 3 with so many great choices! Cedar Hills is a favorite of mine! Crowley has always been my #1! So maybe Crowley, Cedar hill and Rockwall! But that is actually 4 courses :D

[RustyP]

Cedar Hill is my top DFW course/complex...for all the reasons JJ said, and the fact that it's secluded and pretty much 100% disc golf at the park.

Rockwall would be my #2

Crowley has been my #3 for a while, but I think Towne Lakes ganked that spot after Saturday :D. I still love Crowley, but I think Towne Lakes plays a bit more fair...there really isn't much of a reward for having a cannon arm. I like the Vet, but not the entire course...I think some of the back 9 is pretty weak. The Z is great, but I haven't played it enough to make a fair judgment on that one.

My real top 3 (including all that I've played) would be Cedar Hill, Cedar Glades (Hot Springs, AR), then Lake Bistineau State Park (in Shreveport, LA). I know you guys would love Cedar Glades if you ever get a chance to make the trip! Super technical and trecherously hilly from start to finish...but still fair.

By the way, it was good seeing you guys on Saturday, although it was kinda brief ;)

[Thor]

Vets has too many "lucky blind shots" to make my top list. I'm not a fan of Vets. I'd rather go to BC. Vets to me is another great piece of land that has bad holes on it. With that property there could be a much better course, if not two courses.

MY Top 3

1)Cedar Hill wins because it has 2 solid courses on one property.

2) Towne Lakes. Some well thought out holes and great use of land. Usually I can see clearly where a designer went wrong (imo) or misused a great section of the course on a few holes. Not so much out there.

...3:) Green belt, great course with tight holes and tons of trees and unbelievable use of baskets near the trecherous creekline... Oops J/K!!

3) Rockwall. Its a tough course. I like the long holes that aren't wide open. As vuh-JJ said basically you can get frustrated and have a bag flinger out there, it's hard to keep a level head. That said, it has a couple of flaws imo. Hole 17 and the mysterious OB line is near ridiculous, good example of bad teepad placement. A few more holes out there need to be trimmed out some. I like it tight but some holes there just no real line. Very similar to Gateway.

Crowley and Gateway close out my top 5. Gateway will take over Rockwall for me once it is cleared out and trimmed up a lil more. A few too many holes need have trees taken out to make my top 3...that and the baskets aren't in yet.. are they?

[Big E]

I have to agree with you about the vet! It becomes more and more relevent compared to the new courses going in the ground! I also feel that cedar hill could use a little tree selection on a couple of tree lotto holes but over all these courses (CedarHill, Crowley, Rockwall, Gateway and town lakes (from what I have heard)) are going to set the bar for future courses in the metro! The rest need to design for the times we are playing in not the glory days of past!

[okcacehole]

Definately some land restrictions on doing that as Fritz is one of our best courses still to date. Porter should be ready to reconfigure soon, if not already and we MAY get a little more land to work with.

GB could definately be reversed ( we have proven that ) on the same piece of land and make it a much tougher course with better shots IMO

The Bon just needs new baskets and I hope to see Fritz return the 18 someday



Looks like we are going to give Town Lake another run on Saturday for those not playing the lake event. 10am

[baldguy]

I'm on the fence about playing the lake event... I probably won't though. I think the concept of a 1-day b-tier is kinda ridiculous for ams. it's great for pros because it guarantees them good added cash and usually a bigger field... but I'd rather have 4 rounds for anything above a c-tier. that's just me.

My top 3... wow, I think we have about 45 in DFW now, so I'm not sure I can pick just three :). I'll go with 5, in no particular order. also, this is before playing the new course in mckinney, so the list might change soon.

Rockwall. best 18 holes of disc golf on the east side of DFW. stunning landscape, awesome mix of shots, and one of the only true par 5 holes within driving distance. great baskets, signs, and teepads. and a City that loves our sport. It just can't get much better than this.

Cedar Hill. what everyone else said. having someone like HammyLamster dedicated to spending his free time maintaining and improving the course... that is the icing on the cake.

Gateway. This is a hard-earned, well-designed course. It's brand new, so it needs some trimming here and there and it needs to wear in. Once it does, prepare for greatness. I have issues with the layout on two holes, but I think with time they will either wear in properly or they will get changed. In spite of those two holes, the design is spectacular.

Z-Boaz. it's crowded, true... but it's still worth the drive to me. I don't think I'd want to contend with the crowd very often but it sure is a great course. I also think that the crowd will spread out a bit with gateway and a couple other new courses cropping up in the area.

Alex Clark Memorial. This might be a surprise to some, because it's not the same type of course as the others on my list... but the mix of tee positions, the beauty of the park, and the City who loves DG... it has to be on my list. it's also a park where I can shoot double-digits under par (on rare occasion), and those aren't many :)

[baldguy]

I had another idea for a list. the driving factor. pick a favorite course in each of the following categories:

under 30 minutes from home:
Lake Park. I'm far from lots of stuff, but the lake is 7 minutes from my front door, and it's a lot of fun

30-60 minutes from home:
So many courses fall in this category... but my favorite right now has to be Gateway. If only because it's so new and fresh :)

60-120 minutes from home:
Tyler, hands down. I have before and will again drive to Tyler for the day to play casual golf. two (soon to be three!) courses in one park. tons of fun with a mix of shots and long teepads on many holes to up the challenge factor.

120-240 minutes from home:
Lake Bistineau. if you haven't been, you must. scenery like you won't find anywhere around DFW. totally worth the trip, plus you can do some other cool stuff on the way. like maybe play tyler ;)

anyone else?

[RustyP]

120-240 minutes from home:
Lake Bistineau. if you haven't been, you must. scenery like you won't find anywhere around DFW. totally worth the trip, plus you can do some other cool stuff on the way. like maybe play tyler ;)


...and if you give me a heads-up, I'll most likely meet you out there :D


I only have 1 within 30min, so that's an easy one (Springlake Park)

There are 0 courses within the 30-60min mark :(

60-120min - Cedar Glades in Hot Springs...takes right at 2hrs from my parking lot

120-240min - Lake Bistineau...takes a little over 2hrs

[okcacehole]

If anyone wants one of the new Innova Eco Star Groove's let me know today...they will be $10 cheaper than you can get them at the lake this weekend...$25.00

10am Town Lake on Saturday -

Good luck to all playing..Parker and Tabor get to compete against Mitch Saturday and Pro is a huge group...

[Thor]

Some of Jeremy's prices seem a lil steep. ... And 75$ for open, a 1 day event?

[okcacehole]

Hit McKinney Sat Bucky...

[Thor]

Yeah, i will be there may catch yall for a second round. Gotta buddy coming into town and he has to leave early so we gonna start pretty early.

[RustyP]

Some of Jeremy's prices seem a lil steep. ... And 75$ for open, a 1 day event?


Yep...that's why I'm not playing. Love those DD events, but that's a little too steep. I'm waiting for those non-sanctioned Mace Man events to roll around ;)

[oceanjones]

You got them "in stock"?

[okcacehole]

I will have some mid-week most likely...if you do want one let me know before I have them shipped out

[baldguy]

I should have my shipment of champion proto-stamped ones by next weekend or so, maybe midweek. $20 each and I'm only selling 15 of them :)

[okcacehole]

Not as good - these are first runs for the Green Country Open :)

You going to make it to McKinney tomorrow Josh? Looks like Troy Berry will be joining us also

[okcacehole]

Here is the stamp for the GCO on the Eco Drone..great stamp, but not the best picture by Innova..the are all black or orange

http://photos-a.ll.facebook.com/photos-ll-snc1/v2093/59/59/1049293202/n1049293202_293976_812.jpg


Did you get 2009 Worlds Drones also Josh?

[okcacehole]

I assume Jack didn't go Pro for $35?

Leonel only 2 out of the Pro Cash

Congrats to Coda

[l_7_ltrain]

Leonel wins 2nd Sunday mini at Towne Lake , shooting 50 from the shorts to tie J.D. and taking the money on a 1 hole playoff= $ 55
:cool:

[Giles]

Jay, Haleigh fished that yellow Buzzz out of the creek on 3 for you.

[baldguy]

anyone from the group planning to make the trip to Wichita Falls next month? I'm running the Wichita Falls Open March 7-8... lots of goodies already planned :). Of course you can sign up on TitleDISC...

[okcacehole]

Is it actually a 2 day tourney, of Sat Doubles and Sun singles?

[baldguy]

two days, 4 rounds with a cut before the final round to get folks done quicker

BTW - Star-stamped Champion Grooves are now in! I have 6 yellow, 6 Orange, and 2 blue that I am willing to part with. All are 173-174. $20 each while they last :)

edit: updated weights and quantities

[garywatts]

what is the plan for saturday??? gonna be a nice day

[baldguy]

McKinney? Cedar Hill? Mesquite? I'd like to go somewhere that has a couple courses in one area and make a day of it.

[Thor]

find shelter. a bunch of trees, the wind will be windy fellas..

[Giles]

if you want to get out of the wind, both McKinney courses are your best option. I've got to work in the morning so we/I will not be joining you.

[okcacehole]

Leaning towards the Fritz mini and maybe the lake next or a day at Mesquite...

Been in McKinney for the last 3 weeks

[okcacehole]

So what it iz? I hears me some rumblins of CH, Mesquite, Fritz...

Buckles I assume you are playing with Jack tomorrow..what time are you starting at CH?

[garywatts]

Jack tells me CH at 10am, I might be there just not sure yet.

[okcacehole]

Watts - Deidre, Josh, Krell, Todd, Nate, Troy, Charles and some others are hitting Fritz..it's little Seabolts 17th birthday :)

A group of them will be heading to CH after that...for the mini

we are going to hit another course around here..maybe BC, Lake. Mesquite, GB, ect. after the mini

give me a call

[gnduke]

I've still got a couple of weeks to go at Towne Lake before I reach three weekends in a row.

[okcacehole]

one was ACM :)

Sunday TL mini 10am again this week Giles?

[gnduke]

what do you think of a competition of Texas clubs to get the highest percentage of certified officials?

[okcacehole]

I would hope we are off to a good start on that, but I also think the official thing is a joke..have you seen the current list? I haven't tested myself in years and probably am not fully up to date on the "newest" rule changes

I do know only a few in our group took advantage of the free testing..

[Giles]

Yeah, I'll be at the mini 10am Sunday @ Towne Lake. I'll actually be out around 8. Some of us get together before the mini and do course work. This week we are installing two picnic benches. One paid for by the course fund, the other Steve Harris &amp; family. Depending how long that takes we may go clear sticks off 4's fairway.
The course is coming along very nicely. All the traffic is noticeably beating down the fairways. The city installed the number plates on the baskets and dumped dirt to backfill the concrete on the bridge. I went to war with 15's fairway after work one day during the week. I trimmed up a bunch of trees and drug a bunch of sticks off the fairway, you can see my piles of debris off too the right of the fairway. 4,13,16 and 17 are all in the B pin location. The sign on 13's fairway is out of the way. I think it was Justin Britten who started to clear the edge of the fairway on 3. The boards on the tree on 6 were replaced by a rope, soon to be replaced by a wire. Ben has plans to sink bricks at the 10 meter mark for all pin locations. I think 5 per hole, I have heard he already has the bricks.
Oh, and Haleigh birdied 18 at Towne Lake last night, sick!

[baldguy]

I would hope we are off to a good start on that, but I also think the official thing is a joke..have you seen the current list? I haven't tested myself in years and probably am not fully up to date on the "newest" rule changes

I do know only a few in our group took advantage of the free testing..


You can add Deidre to the list of those who took advantage of the free official's test!

Towne Lake mini tomorrow morning is the plan for us. Will probably bring some plastic, too. If anyone wants to sign up for the WF tournament, I should also have fliers and reg forms with me.

[okcacehole]

Now that was a fun day of golfing..

you were right too Josh..he hit $38K this year..just a few years ago $20 was tops...helps to win the big ones..3 people over $30K

[baldguy]

TL mini yesterday was fun times... I think I might make this a regular sunday thing :).

[oceanjones]

TL will make me a better golfer. I have no doubt. I'm so happy to have a mini on this side of town on the weekends. Now if Ron would just let that ace pot build for a while...(read it lurker!) :)

[Thor]

Yeah, that was a great ACE Ron...

I too plan to make many TL minis.

Oh,man, is the new McKinney course open now? Last Saturday I was looking for somewhere to play, and ended up at GB, where I was happy to only have to take my shoes off and go into the creek twice, but I did skip 18, though.

If it is open, is there a map or is it signed yet?

Oh yeah, and thanks for letting me join your club. It saved me $5 off my renewal.

[baldguy]

It's open, there are teesigns, teepads, and baskets. A few errors in the distances but you'll get the idea. Stay out of the creek :)

[Thor]

Andtry to stay out of the creek too.

[okcacehole]

JJ you need this one also to go along with your Simon disc


http://i23.ebayimg.com/05/i/001/19/45/954c_1.JPG

[oceanjones]

lol, i saw that the other day. It is a sweet dye...but i cant buy any more buzzes till i loose a few. I've got over 25 throwers. Not bragging...i know many of you out there have way more, but i dont collect i just throw.

[okcacehole]

You can always have another one :) I think I grabbed 5 more aviars in the past few weeks - Thanks for holding the one Manny!!

Where is everyone thinking of shooting this weekend? Haven't heard many rumblings of teams thinking of playing A-Z, so casual golf it is or a mini somewhere..

[gnduke]

Several of us are hitting the Paschall 11:00 mini on Sunday.
Saturday is already booked with non-disc golf stuff,

[okcacehole]

hadn't heard a word on that one yet..are they doing it weekly and who is running that one?

details Duke :)

Good to know

[okcacehole]

10 am Mesquite

[baldguy]

I think Steve Miller runs that one. I'm sticking to the TL mini on Sundays :)

[okcacehole]

see you at Mesquite in the morn

6+ for sure and maybe more coming...and some newbies...

singles and doubles round...

[gnduke]

Steve Miller runs it Sat and Sun at 11:00 AM

[okcacehole]

yeah..he needs some work on that...

though I think he did finish the round

[baldguy]

anyone down for some Rockwall tomorrow morning? looks like good weather for it. Keith is going to be in town and is trying to make it for golf in the morning... say 10am?

[exczar]

Nope, I'm going to the mini at Harmony Hills, if I can find the place.

[Giles]

Haleigh and I are going to the Crowley Ice Bowle. I want to see what kind of a match Liz gives her. Haleigh is thinking open women after Am Doubles.

[okcacehole]

Josh - Rockwall sounds great to me..I will let the rest of the gang know

[baldguy]

bill I thought you said you'd found it? I'm planning on the HH mini again this sunday... but tomorrow is casual golf :)

[okcacehole]

running to the Colony course for some ace runs if nobody else could stay at work any longer - way too nice outside today

[okcacehole]

For those of you that had the great time to Enjoy the TX10 events...this came in from Chris today:


How about a even better update from the MAN himself - Miss you Chris:

He knew he could also count on me to update the masses

He sent this today:



G’day all my American Friends,

Just thought it was about time I chipped in and gave a quick update on what’s been going on. A few people have sent me emails over the last few months asking various things about me. I am not a current member so can’t post on the PDGA message board.

It’s now been about 2 years and 4 months since I left the US. Amazing how time flies and how things can change in such a short time. I haven’t picked up a disc in over a year but still have a wall in my apartment with all my favourite discs displayed along with plenty of Texas 10 and Lance Armstrong memorabilia. Friends that come over always are amazed at all the cool Frisbees I have.

I basically retired from playing and running disc golf events about a year ago. I did however a month ago trade several emails with one of the guys from the new Perth Disc Golf Club and supplied him with lots of info, business models, ideas, templates and some do’s and don’ts on setting up a disc golf event or club. I hope they take the advice to heart and all goes well. I have seen some news lately that they did the opposite to what I recommended on membership fees etc so I hope they can learn from things if they don’t go well first time around. Perth is such a great place for the sport it has always been a shame it has never really taken off as it should have. Hopefully these guys can get things rocking.

I now play “ball golf” as much as I can. I spent about 6 months last year with a full time PGA coach and learnt so much. My coach “a former LPGA pro” also allows me some input into her coaching and event management business. I also consult a little with my golf club on ideas for upcoming events and tournament procedures. It’s fun to keep a finger in the event management side of things. I had planned in about 3 years to be good enough to hit the Asian Tour circuit but over the last six months work has been going really well and I can’t see myself earning more than I do now playing golf. So for now I keep busy selling and designing houses for a building company and playing golf about twice a week. It’s good to know even in a low market I can still do well. Can’t wait for the next boom!

I am looking at making a trip to Shenzen China in December to play an amateur event at Mission Hills. It’s a complex of 10, yes 10 world class golf courses all grouped together. Each one has been designed by people like Arnold Palmer, Nick Faldo, Greg Norman and Annika. It is the Asian mecca of golf right now.

I recently bought a new apartment downtown right on the water with cafes, restaurants and bars all around. 20 yards to the bay with boating, water skiing and yachting and only 300 yards the other way to surf beaches. I love the location and atmosphere. As I said most of my walls are filled with travel photos, Texas 10 and Lance stuff. I may not play disc golf anymore but I haven’t forgotten all the fun had in the past.

My apologies to those people that thought we would stay in touch with each other. It’s a hard thing to do knowing you may never see that person or people again. It makes it hard to keep in touch however those people and friends that made my time in the US a great time will always be remembered, admired and appreciated. I do keep in touch with my brother from another mother Twisted Joe Rotan and love to hear and share all our ideas and thoughts on disc golf and life. Who knows one day this Aussie may surprise everyone and appear for the Twisted Flyer $1,000,000 Hole-in-One! Oops Joe did I let one out of the bag? Always expect the unexpected and always keep something up your sleeve.

I do keep an eye on the PDGA Message Board from time to time so know a little of what goes on. Funny to see names and events I know changing, not changing, been successful or not from the other side of the world.

Thanks again everyone and have a fun year.

Yours in Flight,
Chris Himing

[baldguy]

great to hear from Chris again. I aspire to be half the TD he is :)

On another note - I talked to JJ a bit about this, but I'm going to let you guys know now: TitleDISC is getting to the point where we can afford to sponsor a few more players, but I want to take a different approach.

I know many of our club members are testing the Pro waters, and I know that with the jump to a cash division comes a drop in easily-gotten merchandise. I've decided that for any of our club members who fall in this category, TitleDISC will sell its *custom* merchandise at cost. This means shirts, hats, discs, and possibly even bags at some point in the future. Right now this is open to club members only, and only those who are regularly competing in the Pro divisions. I'm trying this out to see how it goes, and eventually I want to form a "Team TitleDISC" that will be featured on the website and will hopefully get other benefits as well.

The custom discs that these players will be eligible for include the following, for now:

Ch. Monarch
DX San Marino Roc
DX Aviar Driver
CH Boss
CH Sidewinder
CH Starfire
CH Wraith
Star Eagle
Star Destroyer
DX Glo Ontario Roc
X Soft Challenger
Z Flick
ESP Buzzz
ESP Force
... and a few gateway molds as yet to be determined (mostly putters)

So, if you're an OMB/YGB club member playing Pro, and would like to take advantage of this sponsorship, please send me an email - josh@titledisc.com - and let's talk :)

[gnduke]

prejudice against the "Bagger" component of the club name.....

[baldguy]

just trying to give something back to the club members who are hurtin for plastic :)

[exczar]

I was wondering if I even qualfied for membership here, since I am playing in a Pro division.

But then again, I am playing GM, and I'm not 50 yet, so maybe I *am* a bagger.

[baldguy]

bagger!

[baldguy]

Looks like Mesquite @ 10am tomorrow. All of the custom discs are in! I will probably bring a few with me, too. Stock discs will be in next week

[okcacehole]

Ouch on Parkers 1st round

[gnduke]

Bill,
You need to re-up using the club discount next year to continue using club resources without guilt.

[okcacehole]

and no Parker today? JJ had a good first round, tied for 1st.

[okcacehole]

Congrats JJ - nice play on Sunday!!!!

[baldguy]

yeah way to represent JJ :)

got back from austin late last night. Got to play Wilco and Rivery which were two new courses for me. Wilco is one of the nicest courses I've played and has a great mix of shots with some really challenging holes. the course seemed to step all over itself several times with baskets near teepads and fairways really close to each other. That plus the lack of distances or hole map signage are my only complaints. In spite of all that the course was still a lot of fun. I hope there's a tournament at Wilco this year so I can go play :). Rivery was a bit of a diamond in the rough. The course was obviously redesigned when the City put in some playground equipment and landscaping. Signage is non-existent in places and plain wrong in other places. In spite of the signage issues, the course is actually pretty cool. If you go, go with someone who knows the way around and you'll enjoy it. The newer holes are really well through-out IMO. It looks like the local group put a lot of time and effort into keeping the course alive. I hope they're still working on it because this course will be good when it's really finished. hole 11 is one of the most picturesque holes in TX, even if it is an acerun. Giant boulders with trees threaded between them frame a nice yellow-top basket. I did not have my camera but I will next time :).

Now, Wichita Falls! c'mon group get signed up :). It's not that far and the tournament is going to be a blast. If we only get 50 people, they're going to be splitting a LOT of added cash and merch :)

[oceanjones]

Thanks guys. I took the plastic so I could still qualify as a YGB :) .

[okcacehole]

Why play pro if you aren't going to take the cash - KC?

what happened to parker?

[oceanjones]

Yes, KC. I know I can get in for Am Worlds. There are only 144 Open spots...I don't know if I can get one or not. I'm not going to Am Worlds to win Am Worlds, I just want to play. I don't want to risk not getting to play by taking cash then getting squeezed out of Open. It really was not a tough decision. I made up my mind a long time ago to wait till after Worlds.

[baldguy]

then you are truly worthy of the YGB moniker :D

[okcacehole]

Nate Derr - you lurker - the amount of events you are playing you should just join the PDGA through our club and stop wasting money on non-pdga fees :)

[exczar]

JJ just had to play with the right group of guys on Saturday in order to get him in the right frame of mind to play well on Sunday.

Also, after playing HH in the wind twice, I'm sure that TL seemed like a piece of cake!

[haleigh]

Giles had his truck broke into last night and they stole both of our bags and back up bag..:(

[Big E]

I am sorry to hear that! I have a couple of extra bags laying around if you guys need to use them until you can get new ones.

[Giles]

That brings the offer of bags to 5. Thanks. I just got a call from Steve Harris and my McKinney locals asking what discs we need. I guess they are taking a collection for us to look through. With all our plastic and bags and my stereo they got away with about 3K worth of our stuff.

I've often wondered how I would do if I had to throw all foreign discs. I'll find out this weekend in Wichita Falls. Aside from the two Buzzzes that I've had in my bag for two years, I will not have a problem replacing my discs. Part of my disc selection philosophy is only throwing discs that can be easily and cheaply replaced. I had a complete set of backups, they were in the truck though...

[baldguy]

I have 800 or so discs in my dining room right now... People took care of me when my bag got stolen a few years ago. I plan to return the favor. feel free to drop by :).

[okcacehole]

Are they both revo bags?

That really stinks..Dieter had his grabbed also while on the practice basket at the Z years ago..

I have white aviars if I can hook you and Haleigh on them :)

Good luck this weekend and there will be some of us at the Lake at 9am for those not traveling this weekend

[haleigh]

aww man, we just snagged all of Josh's sweet white 174-175 Pro Valkyries! But thanks to, Dempsey, Ben, Steve, Payne, Justin, Billy, Pete, Ron, Jordan and a huge thanks to Josh for hooking us up, and Deidre for helping me pick it out!

[okcacehole]

I am sure you mean the yellow ones :) Glad you are back in shape for this weekend..any identifying things on your bags to look for?

are the discs marked with your names?

[Giles]

Names &amp; PDGA on our discs. but we have sold some stuff back to PIA in the past and yesterday, to get some stuff we throw. My black revo and Haleigh's camo, just stuff hanging from them. nothin sewn on.

[haleigh]

No, I am pretty sure I specified only white. lol

[okcacehole]

Well they should work great for you Haleigh :)

Lake tomorrow may change..if you are playing let me know..sounds like 2 practicing up for world dubs at another course so waiting to see what Krell and some others feel like doing

[exczar]

Gotta friend coming in from out of town - we are going to get an early round in at BB Owen - 6:30 AM if anyone is interested.

[okcacehole]

That might be king of the early hour for the OMB's :)

9AM Lake is the plan .sounds like other smatterings across Wichita Falls, Cedar Hill, Rockwall and ?

:D

See some of you guys in the morning

[okcacehole]

The 1st Thursday of Smack Talk Doubles is here. We are hoping to start the earliest possible, but most likely 5:30-6 will be our start this week.

If you are coming out just let someone know and we will wait for you..can't wait to get some Thursday smack going..

Looks like this weeks Thursday will be cold and maybe wet, so we will have to see. still going to be dark somewhat fast so the earlier the better

[okcacehole]

Hitting GB today (monday) for a round - 4:15-4:30 start if you can make it out

[baldguy]

too early for me :(

On an unrelated note - if anyone is going to be in town the weekend of May 2-3 and would like to help promote the sport in Rockwall, the City of Rockwall is looking for experienced players to volunteer for clinics during their World's Biggest event. This will be aimed at players who have rarely (if ever) thrown a disc and are interested in learning. Nate, John Boy, Deidre, and I did this for them a few months ago and had a lot of fun. Deidre and I can't make it this time but if anyone can help out let me know and I'll put you in touch with the City.

[okcacehole]

We ended up with 4 of us by the end of the round..that wind was great...I don't think I had played GB since Nov/Dec..

Giles or whoever, is the McKinney Wednesday Mini going to be at ACM or TL?

[oceanjones]

too early for me :(

What kind of time commitment is involved?

[haleigh]

It is at ACM, Brad Roy is running it. $7.00

They're running the event from 9am-4pm, but the clinics will be much shorter. I would think that if you were only available for one or two of them, they would still be grateful :)

[okcacehole]

I don't see the waters parting by tomorow for a decent round, but if it does I will be at GB...

[baldguy]

looks like the rain might hold off until tonight... we'll see. stupid weather. anyone want to move it to the lake? much more playable in the sog

[okcacehole]

No golf for me today, but Saturday is looking a little better

if so, bring my discs with you

GB would be a mushy muck today, but Gary and I were talking about doing the Lake sometimes on Thursdays also since Porter is still gone currently

[baldguy]

I'm oncall this weekend, so saturday golf is out for me :(

[okcacehole]

Sunday is looking good so far - I have a retirement party after work tonight so I will figure out Saturday golfing later

[baldguy]

I know you're getting up there in years, but you might try for OMB status before retiring ;)

[okcacehole]

10am Lake as long as it isn't pouring still...

Gary and Nate I think are also in so far

If it was my retirement I wouldn't be golfing in the morning :)

Come out to the Lake Josh - you are close enough to still be on call

[okcacehole]

Jack and Kevin are 2 strokes out after day 1

[baldguy]

more golf tomorrow? the weather is supposed to be awesome. Just got done with work (3:45am)... Somebody call me and wake me up before golf :)

[okcacehole]

Jack and Kevin in 2nd and 3 strokes back with the finals to go

[okcacehole]

Jack/Kevin take 2nd in OMB at World Doubles - congrats guys!!!

Haleigh and partner won by 20 strokes!!!!!


Watts and I will be at GB tomorrow around 4pm if anyone wants to shoot

[baldguy]

I'd love to play but I'm not off work till 5

[okcacehole]

Watts, Parker and I got 20+...with Bucky and Mike playing 18 backwards also..

Thursday...6pm start will let everyone play...

Since last weekend was raining..I hope to see a nice group Thursday..

[gnduke]

I need some Denton or Saginaw players to help with a clinic for a Cub Scout troop this summer. Anyone interested or know of a good contact?

[okcacehole]

Don't know any players in the Denton area

Sounds like we are going to shoot for a 6pm start or earlier if everyone is there, but I should be at the park by 4;30 or so if anyone wants to shoot some before then

[Giles]

Haleigh and I are planning on making it out for smack talk doubles a lot this year, but right now I owe BBD some money so I'm skipping town for California in the morning. Can't make it this week.

[baldguy]

likely excuse! :D

I might be out there a bit earlier than 5:30 today... we'll see if the boss will agree to my "take lunch at the end of my shift on thursdays during daylight saving time" idea.

[Giles]

So, anyone played the course near LA? We are going to La Mirada from the airport on Friday. We also plan on playing Oak Grove and possibly Chaves Ridge.

[baldguy]

I've only played north of LA. But , if you get the chance to head north to Santa Cruz, DeLaveaga is pretty sweet. Also lots of cool stuff to do in that part of the state, aside from just disc golf.

[exczar]

True, DeLa, from what I have heard, is a great course to see, but I was amused when you said, if you get the chance to head north to Santa Cruz. That's kinda like saying, after someone has said, we are going from the DFW airport to Arlington to play Veterans, "if you get the chance to head south to Houston..."

There's a little bit of real estate between LA and SCruz.

[Giles]

I did look at the possibility of going to De Lavega, It is just way too far away! I also looked at seeing some friends in Ocean Beach (San Diego area) and play Morley but didn't want to fly to CA and spend most of my time in the car!

[baldguy]

well, I didn't know their itinerary... and the last time I was at DeLa, I played with a guy who had just made the drive up from LA :). yes, they're far apart, but if you make a day of it, there is cool stuff to do along the way. Just offering the only Cali golf recommendation I have :)

[baldguy]

on another note... maybe we can get a disc version of this, for Watts:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3yGCE8Tf...player_embedded (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3yGCE8Tfp4&amp;eurl=http%3A%2F%2Ffailblog.org %2Fpage%2F5%2F&amp;feature=player_embedded)

[okcacehole]

Wait a minute ..I owe Josh some money also..can I skip town to Cali with you also? :)

See you all in a few hours...great day outside to say the least

[okcacehole]

11 players with -12, -11, -10 and the others

12PM Towne Lake Friday!!!

[oceanjones]

I counted wrong yesterday...Redman and I shot -13...Parker got my math wrong yesterday ;)

[baldguy]

but there was a 2-stroke penalty for throwing golden retrievers in the water :D

[okcacehole]

Was 9am Saturday Mesquite the consensus?

[baldguy]

It sounded like round 1 at 8am, round 2 at 10am. That works well for us, since we have stuff to do tomorrow afternoon

[oceanjones]

I thought it was only one stroke if you went in and got it out...

[okcacehole]

Watts and I told everyone 9am today at TL since nobody ever set on something for sure on Thursday...

Guess we will just see people out there since there are now 8, 9 and 10 am tee times :)

[baldguy]

you mean Mesquite, right? we're all going to mesquite... 9am since you said 9

[okcacehole]

Yes, I meant (Friday) at TL we told them Mesquite 9am Sat

better :)

[okcacehole]

Happy Birthday JJ

[baldguy]

happy birthday J-to-the-J

I gots a present for ya :)

[okcacehole]

Looks like we will get a good break in the weather tomorrow afternoon, so GB it is

Gary, Darlene and I will be there by 4:30.

[Giles]

As far as I know Haleigh and I will be joining you. Got to pay BBD before I find a horse head in my bed, get a finger chopped off, or get my kneecaps busted.

[okcacehole]

and a good time it was

Bucky/Murphy -11 ( Bucky with an ace - called it )

Parker/Watts
Haleigh/Giles
Josh - odd man

Saturday Doubles 11am!!!!

[baldguy]

hey, I was 2nd with my -5 :D

If only I were putting better yesterday... I might have given you guys a run for your money. I missed 5 birdies from within 30 feet :(

[Giles]

Haleigh &amp; I also got to -5.

[okcacehole]

-6 with one bogey shooting backs..shorts and others..20 holes

I told Gary since he can't post he shot at least +10...but that was close in the end

[okcacehole]

chance of 50MPH gusts on Thursday...can't wait to see those discs fly

Gary parked basket #1 backwards last night with the Dart

[baldguy]

wind is definitely crazy. my power has gone out three times so far. Can't wait for golf :)

[okcacehole]

50+ gusts already recorded..bring your Kite :)

[Giles]

No golf for Haleigh and I tonight. I've got some ducks that need stringing before we leave for TX States tomorrow. Have fun.

[okcacehole]

9am Cedar Hill on Saturday - round of singles and a round of doubles

[okcacehole]

Thursday start by 5:30...seems most of us are there about an hour before that so far

Windy and 80's...

got Parker and Watts last night in that wind and it was crazy

Looking like Rockwall at 9am on Saturday

[Giles]

Posted on DGcoursereview.com for Audubon

All 18 ALL BASKETS ARE BACK IN THE GROUND.New baskets on some holes.#1 basket has been moved back and to right(But it is still there).the course is now functional again. almost all of the debris along hole 2 is gone as well

[okcacehole]

D8rn good news and thanks for the update today

-10, -8, -7 and -5 I believe

and 2 new golfers Rick and Stephen

[okcacehole]

We made it out to the Bon today Giles - #1 is back and to the left..old spot was much better IMO

few other new placements and new baskets on the course..unfortunately the course looked terrible overall..

we need Shari calling the city and telling them to MOW..

Frank Phillips got one of his first rounds in today with us..

too great to see 3 newbies in the same week

[okcacehole]

Thursday GB - 5:30 start time - we are playing forwards but will get some of the "extra" holes in for sure...backwards last week was too much with so many others on the course

Would like to see what everyone thinks about heading to the Lake on Thursdays also or other courses close enough for all of our jobs and houses

See you all tomorrow - keep that rain away until we drop that last putt

[baldguy]

I vote yes for playin the lake sometimes... maybe a rotation like we used to have?

BTW - If anyone wants to pick up a CFR Destroyer or TeeRex-X for the 2nd TitleDISC Open, please let me know and I'll set it aside. I won't be able to play tomorrow, but I'll see most of you this weekend :)

[gnduke]

Need lots of trimming at Rockwall. Getting shrubby all over the place.

[oceanjones]

LOL...its been cut back...you should have seen it about 3 weeks ago!

[gnduke]

Must be growing like weeds out there then.

[okcacehole]

It's official

Padre said so...

CONGRATS

[gnduke]

Congrats

[baldguy]

Thanks to those who made it out to the party - especially Keith, Adam and Brother Justin :D

[okcacehole]

Congrats to Haleigh also...who is now a back to back Texas Womens Champ in 2 divisions...Pro next year?

[oceanjones]

I would not have missed it...it was an honor and a privilege. And it was a great party, a great time. Every wedding should have a disc golf basket present.

A few highlights for me...

Shawn "Shabookie" Hunter took $5 off of me by snaging the garter belt. Best money I ever spent.

Deidre cutting the cake...wow...the look in her eye when she got ahold of those two knives.

Nana...'nuff said.

X-Ray Fish Padre :)

[ERicJ]

Can someone drop me an e-mail to my yahoo account (ejubin) when you decide where you're playing this week (4/23); I'm gonna try to make it out. Please send start time and official course name so I can look it up on DGCR. I don't want to end up at Towne Lake if everyone else is at Lake Lewisville. :eek:

Thanks,
ERic

[baldguy]

I'm pretty sure the plan is Lake Park in Lewisville for this week. That's where I'll be, anyway :)

[okcacehole]

Lake Lewisville on Thursday - starting at 5:30pm

[ERicJ]

What time would I need to leave 75 &amp; 635 intersection to get there for 5:30 (rush hour)? GoogleMaps says take 635 to 35 and it's 25mi/30minutes, but that's gotta be no traffic.

[okcacehole]

4:30 would be safe..5pm if traffic is moving, but that would be a push

[exczar]

You should check the traffic before you leave. You also have the options of going up Central and taking the GB Tollway across to Stemmons, or going across LBJ to the Dallas North Tollway up to GB and across to Stemmons.

[ERicJ]

What's the Dallas traffic website?

[gnduke]

not sure, I use this

google maps - traffic (http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&amp;ll=32.85248,-96.900787&amp;spn=0.40032,0.86792&amp;z=11&amp;layer=t)

[manderson]

FYI
I just used hotwire to make hotel reservations for worlds. i was able to get into the Westin Crown Center (tourney host hotel) $69/night, $93 taxes and fees, $576 total for 7 nights.

[oceanjones]

Sounds like the party room to me. ;)

[Giles]

Nice ace Adam!

That was a fun round. Haleigh and Adam with the 4 stroke swing in 3 holes. 4th Thursday of the month at Lake Park?

[baldguy]

Every thursday? :D Once it gets hotter out, the shade at lake park is going to be so much nicer than GB. I'd vote for 2 thursdays a month @ the lake...

[baldguy]

so, where we playin this week? The lake again (because of the wet)? That would be awesome :)

[okcacehole]

actually GB it is...it will be fine out there..it hasn't rained since Monday and GB always dries fast..just depends on the water color for losing discs :)

I should be there at 4:30 with Gary - bring me a Pro valk if you have one - white

[baldguy]

I only have yellow left, if at all. Next stock order is happening in a couple weeks.

BTW - it's raining balls right now... GB is gonna be sloppy

[okcacehole]

answer your calls farker :)

[baldguy]

gah... phone was left upstairs. my bad, dog :)

call a brotha when u get off work... I still vote for the lake

[Giles]

I wasn't aware this was a democracy. I'd vote Lake if I thought it would sway opinions.

[baldguy]

athens, baby!

[okcacehole]

Good luck to you two

10 am ACM and then TL next

[okcacehole]

Figured Leonel and JJ might be looking for these

http://discgolfclub.org/proshop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=321

Flat Top Rocs

[okcacehole]

While these continual updates only have us use this board less and less

Thursday GB...and it should actually be dry

I am sure most of you already have a FB update :D:eek:

[seewhere]

happy b-day to Ray Murray

[prairie_dawg]

Thanks Chris:o

[oceanjones]

Cheat'en the reaper for another year...nice work Ray!

[okcacehole]

Gateway Park tomorrow at 9am if you aren't playing the Lake tourney

[westcoastsooner]

Gateway Park tomorrow at 9am if you aren't playing the Lake tourney

Spin iTT.......................

[okcacehole]

We did Billy - many times - nothing like shooting +18 and taking 4th out of 8..tough.tough course, but amazing..can't wait for the next round out there..

28th will be the 4th Thursday at the Lake

anyone up for the back side at GB along with some others this Thursday?

see everyone at GB Thursday

may make McKinney at ACM tomorrow if timing works out

[Big E]

So they cut my hours at work so I have fridays off...... Anyone else off? What will the course conditions be like at town lakes if we dont get any more rain? I plan on playing both Mckinney courses this Friday.

[Giles]

I haven't played it in a few weeks but from what I heard at the AC mini last night was the grass was crazy tall and Ron talked to the city about it. They are going to try and get out and cut some but it isn't going to be perfect. I'd think that will be done today but I can't be sure. They also gave Ron some mosquito tables so hopefully that will help with the blood suckers. It was only muddy in the spots that are always muddy at AC so I assume TL is very playable, problem areas might be around hole 2's basket and 12's fairway.

[Big E]

Maybe I should wait to play it until it get mowed then! Hope town lakes is not to muddy!

[baldguy]

looks like we're at GB again tonight.... 5:30 start flip dubs for shoots and groons

[Big E]

I never made it to town lakes last week! So I am going to try again friday anyone up to a early afternoon round?
