The idiot's who put penises on all the baskets actually took a crap in one of them and smeared it all over the basket.

The parks guys took a lot of the graffiti off but you can't expect it to stay off at that course.

Thanx to everybody that came out this am. C-Hole is looking great around the basket, cleared everything out & saved a few little trees. A few more mowers & we'd have gotten the hole done completely. Mowed a defined OB line on both the shule line & shule pile. Still some tall stuff out there - stay in the fairway. Amazingly we only found one disc - Ed Miller, I've got your Star Fire. Thanx Manny - you really Rocked it today.

Will kick off the end of Outlaws with a quick 9 hole round @ 5:00 today - meet @ South Course hole 1. Edman will catch up with us 6ish. With our truck & Martins, it'll only take about an hour to pull them & drop them @ storage. Come if you can help out - or just wanna sneak in a final 9 on the south course. Steve-O I need a ride, call me if you're going.

[vinnie]

Hey yah .....Lets do a Wilco work day Aug 27 8:30 am
We will need wheelbarrels, trash bags , and steel racks
Let's hear a round of hands
V will be there

[vinnie]

The object is to rack greens and fairways.
I want to puTT a plan together........what holes need most work?
Knowing what holes everyone thinks needs the most work will help develope a work process.

[Lala]

Woody & I can help if you've got a trash picker for us. Played yesterday am & it looks BAD. I have a plan lined up for the Fing butts around the tee boxes. Can't wait til they get another course in Austin so these nasty peeps will go play somewhere else.

[vinnie]

Lets not forget.....8:30am @ Wilco.........RACKS, GLOVES, AND WHEEL BARRELS.
lala......any feedback from wilco?

[Lala]

Edman contacted the parks last I heard - not sure if he got a reply.

Are we gonna bake some biga$$ pies? I'm having a hard time figuring out what we're gonna do with racks on a disc golf course.

[vinnie]

Saturday is going to be a hot one. I will bring ice down water.
8:30am bring your rack for the pie holes and rakes for the job at hand. The cart players should love the ideL of getting rocks of the faiways.
See everyone there!

Hey guys - if your free on Thursday or Friday - or both - we could use a little help with course set up & marking.

Blake & JD are working Thursday to install the final rope & flagging of the 21 hole course. Please let JD/Blake or Edman/Vinnie know if & when you can lend a hand Thursday with course marking.

Friday they'll be setting the 9 fixed holes on the south course - Please let JD/Blake/Ware know if you can help set the pins & mark the south course Friday afternoon.

We also need to replace 2 sleeves, they were removed when the water line was put in. Edman is gonna lead up the sleeve install Friday afternoon - please let him know if you can lend a hand with the sleeves. We're gonna ask & are hopeful that the city will dig & we'll just need a bag of crete for each sleeve, water, & a little man power.

Thanx for all you do!!!

I know not all of our club members use facebook, so I wanted to share this with those of you who still read the discussion board. The following was posted by Kevin Eldredge who along with Abel Gonzalez, runs 4TheChains disc golf:

"ANNOUNCEMENT DISC GOLFERS!
Just got off the phone with the main man at Georgetown Parks and Rec and he has given the OK to start initial work on CONCRETE TEE BOXES for the Rivery Park. I need some help (since I live out in nowhere tx) to get me an estimate on the square footage of concrete we would need to get all 18 holes done.. I will need volunteers to help install the boxes when the day comes! Score ONE for DISC GOLF!"

Lala has provided some information to Kevin that was used during the Wilco pour, to help get him started. A few club members have said that they wish to help with this project.

This will be a great improvement and help bring more tournaments to Rivery Park as well as enhance our casual play there. If you haven't been out there in a while, the city has been doing lots of clearing and cleaning of brush that has been left by the last floods.

We as a club have already done tons to improve OSP, Wilco, Cat Hollow, Rivery, as well as getting Northtown in the ground. This project will require lots of support to complete, and I hope that we as a club will make a huge effort to show that the Double R is still at the forefront of local course improvement. Stay tuned here for details as they become available.
