Awesome! Pretty crappy day in Abilene too....but we managed to raise $1,000 with 150 lbs of food. Another good year for the West Texas region!!

johnrock · Jun 02 2009, 04:24 PM

Summer is on the way! That means the Top of Texas Open is just around the corner. August 22 -23 will be THE weekend. Stay tuned for details....
Looking for feed back on whether or not to go with pdga sanctioning...

FrankWhite · Jun 07 2009, 12:00 AM

The Ace pot for the Saturday handicap round is over 500 dollars, where is everyone?

p-katt · Jun 12 2009, 03:58 PM

C'mon down to Plainview on June 13th and try the course out at their kickoff event (see related tread under Lubbock Windriders). I sure won't have a $500 ace pot....unless someone donates about $450 or so.

Jroc · Jul 09 2009, 12:25 PM

How many Amarillo-ions are planning on making the trip to KC in a few weeks?

johnrock · Jul 21 2009, 12:42 AM

I haven't heard of any. Sad too, because it's so close to here. Not in the cards for me & D this time. Freaking economy...

johnrock · Aug 02 2009, 11:48 AM

More dissappointing news for those losers who want to spread lies and untrue rumors:

2 ACES in yesterday's round paid $500.00. Tom G. (hole #3) and Mike Wilting (hole #2) each collected $250.00.

It really sucks that these narrow minded poor sports need to try to bring down the club that has been keeping the competitive aspect alive by telling lies to the newer players, and hosting their exclusive "club meetings" (actually just beer, dope, and darts) with the only agenda of slamming and slandering those who want to grow the sport fairly. Are they ever going to grow a pair and try the face-to-face approach? Doubtful, they can't handle the truth. It's just easier to feel better about running down someone who isn't there to provide the real facts.

johnrock · Aug 10 2009, 10:21 AM

Top of Texas Open August 22 - 23. It's on!

johnrock · Aug 14 2009, 02:59 PM

Saturday evening eats covered! And beer to go with it!

Trophies are looking good, thanks Disc-Diva.

The creek has been back & forth clear/muddy. Hopefully it'll be clear next weekend. The park is green and lush! Lots of recent rain is making rollers difficult.

Still no word back from the pdga HQ about sanctioning.

johnrock · Aug 17 2009, 01:30 PM

Saturday morning registration WILL be allowed, but make sure you show up EARLY!

9:15 am PLAYERS MEETING

johnrock · Aug 17 2009, 10:25 PM

We've gotten a lot of rain recently and the park is looking thick & green. On some fairways there's almost no chance of throwing a successful roller. Bring plenty of bug spray.

johnrock · Aug 20 2009, 10:33 AM

We are on track for our wettest month EVER! We're already 7 inches over our average for the month, and if we get another 2.5 before August is over, it will go down as the wettest month in Amarillo's history.

The forecast calls for drier conditions for the next week, so we should have a very nice weather weekend. Now if we can get the wind to calm down....

johnrock · Aug 20 2009, 01:25 PM

Big Daddy's BBQ is proud to help feed hungry Disc Golfers. They say they will hook us up for lunch on Saturday with a "Disc Golfer's Special". Sandwich, chips, and a drink for cheap. They're on the North end of the park on Hastings (just past the River Road intersection).

johnrock · Aug 25 2009, 09:43 AM

Scores are posted (thanks Jerry!). Tom Tom Brown goes wire to wire! Congratulations Tom. Good pizza too.

johnrock · Nov 06 2009, 06:25 PM

Just heard today there will be a ribbon cutting ceremony for the brand new DG course in Dalhart, TX tomorrow (Northwest Panhandle almost in New Mexico). Sat. 11:00am at Rita Blanca lake. I think it will start somewhere near the big dance hall/barn at the XIT Rodeo grounds beside the lake. I've tossed a bunch of discs in this area and there is potential for a really good course with a lot of trees, water, and elevation. Bring sturdy shoes and drinking water.

johnrock · Nov 07 2009, 06:42 PM

Put this course on your "To Play" list!

For a group of newer players, these enthusiasts have done a really good job. Once one or two flow issues get worked out, this course has GREAT possibilities. Plenty of room for expansion, and really good support from the property owners and the town. Only 9 baskets at this point, but there is talk of adding more as interest grows.

I'll post contact info as I get permission, or you can contact the Dalhart Chamber of Commerce or I believe the First Baptist Church.

p-katt · Nov 09 2009, 10:57 PM

Cool. I've actually thrown disc there also as I have a few companies that I occasionally visit in the Dalhart area. I think I'll be headed up that way in a month-ish....so info would be great.

FrankWhite · Nov 14 2009, 08:20 AM

Hello Patrick, the course is a nice little nine hole that sits right off of 281 at Rita Blanca lake. There is definitely potential for that park. I hope it takes off for those guys.

johnrock · Dec 14 2009, 09:58 AM

It's time to get ready for the annual Wintertime Food Drive! Gather up as much as you can and let's make a big donation to the High Plains food Bank. One week after the Super Bowl on Sunday afternoon.

More details soon....

johnrock · Jan 29 2010, 10:41 AM

This weather should be enough to get everyone ready for an ICE BOWL. 6 - 10 inches of snow plus ice under that. Thank goodness we didn't get much ice this time, the trees at the course need a break.

johnrock · Feb 06 2010, 09:52 AM

If this weather doesn't get you excited about an Ice Bowl, nothing will.

Tee pads are clear for now, but more ICE & SNOW is expected.

Get your donations together, we'll still carry on regardless of what the weather does. The HIGH PLAINS FOOD BANK needs our help!

1793

johnrock · Feb 14 2010, 07:24 PM

It was certainly an ICY BOWL!
Below freezing and blowing wind (30mph+).
13 players for the SHORT GAME (Finnan Mcclellan wins by 1)
17 players for the main round (Tom Brown wins GOLD, Adam Howse/Silver).

Looks like arond $300 cash and about 100# of food.

Thanks everyone for braving the nasty weather and helping Panhandle golfers donate to the HIGH PLAINS FOOD BANK!!!

Exactly $300.00 cash and exactly 125 pounds of rice, beans, and other canned foods.

Disc Golf in Canyon, TX? Could be, and possibly a stepping stone to a course in "The Canyon".

I went to Canyon on Friday to visit with some folks about the game, and they are VERY interested. Finding a spot for an intermediate course shouldn't be too difficult, but a BLUE or GOLD course may have to wait for a while.

Which would be more useful in Southeast Park, a DG course or more little league baseball/adult softball fields? Which would be easier to afford? Where would the ball teams play?

Hey John,
Any word on the Discrazy Shootout? We went a few years back and really enjoyed it. Wanted to get another tourney in before Worlds and I would definitely consider going out to Amarillo again. Any info would help. Thanks

I went to Canyon on Friday to visit with some folks about the game, and they are VERY interested. Finding a spot for an intermediate course shouldn't be too difficult, but a BLUE or GOLD course may have to wait for a while. Which would be more useful in Southeast Park, a DG course or more little league baseball/adult softball fields? Which would be easier to afford? Where would the ball teams play?
