Many thanks to the players that turned out to play the innagural Commando Mini at Spring Valley last weekend!!!

The playing conditions were great! Although there were a few puddles out there which prevented throwing rollers on most holes, the power-9 ones could still be rolled. I even managed to keep my feet dry until the 15th hole...I probably could've walked around and stayed dry, but I splashed through the puddles anyway.

Only saw 2 mosquitos during the whole round! Wow!

Pass the word - if you are in town for the weekend, then the Commando Mini is a great place to grab a little high quality disc golf. Their Pro Shop at SV is very impressive and as large as Circle-R's shop! The staff of SV have been very welcoming to disc golfers and it is a pleasure to work with someone that wants to have our business versus Oak Meadow where they DON'T want our business.

Click here for Google Map.

Their phone number is: (281) 351-8628
Call that number to find out of if the course will be open in case there is heavy, recent rain. They open at 7:00 am so there's a good chance that if they're open, they'll be answering that phone! If Spring Valley is open, then you can pretty much bet that I'll be there!

Lots of folks just figured out that the Commando started back up last weekend, so it's sounding like a stronger turn-out for this weekend. Weather is looking pretty good so far too. Keep your fingers crossed.

Can't wait to see what layout Mike will set up for us this weekend!

Wow! We had 19 players show up for the Commando Mini this morning!!! A perfect morning for some disc golf too!

I'm keeping results posted up on the HFDS website.

You can view the results, by clicking on this!

Many thanks go out to all of the players supporting Texas States by playing in this mini! We had another 4-5 first timers out there this week, and all of them were raving about how good (and tough) they thought this course was!

I'm telling you folks, if you haven't played at Spring Valley yet, then you really owe it to yourself to come on out next Sunday morning for some of the best competitive disc golf in the city!

The Commando Mini will be running this Sunday again!

Be advised that I'm going to be out for three weekends in a row at the end of July. If I can find someone willing to run this benefit for Texas States then it will continue running, otherwise it'll only be running 2 weekends in July.

Anybody?

Many thanks go out to Cecil Larkin for volunteering to take over the running of the Commando Mini at Spring Valley for a few weeks for me!!!

I'll be there this Sunday, but then I'll be out for 3 weekends. Cecil handled payout last weekend quicker than I usually do it! I'm sure the mini will be in good hands!

Sign-up this weekend will be between 8:30 and 9:00 am. The cost is still just $10 with a $1 donation to Texas States.

Come on out and play the best course in Houston!

Spring Valley reports that their course is largely dry (so far.)

Hope to see some of you up there!

The Commando Mini will be back in action again this Sunday morning at 10:00 am for all of you folks staying in town over the holidays.

The cost is still $10 - which includes Ace Pot and mulligan. Our green fees are good for all-day play in case you feel the need for a little revenge out there!

It's looking like a very fine morning for a little Commando action this morning.

For any out-of-towners: The Commando will be running this morning. Be there before 10:00 am. Ace Pot is at $66. Total raised for Texas States so far is $256 - one buck at a time! In addition, there have been numerous folks that have donated their winnings back to the States fund as well...

Great turn-out last weekend folks!!! 22 players in all, 14 in the Open division!

As a reminder, if anyone is in from out of town this weekend to play at Quail Valley, then you might want to come and check out the Commando Mini at Spring Valley on Sunday morning. We will be taking sign-ups from about 9:45 until 10:00 am on Sunday morning. The cost is $10 and includes green fees, Ace Pot and mulligan. It all benefits Texas States.

I think that it's the best course in Houston!

Default The Commando Mini - Two locations on Sundays!!!

I'm very happy to announce that a second edition of the Commando Mini will be starting up at Quail Valley Country Club in Missouri City starting this weekend.

The cost of the South Battalion version of the Commando is $10 with $1 from each player going to Texas States.

This is a great opportunity for folks to come out and check out the Links course which will be used for Texas States this year. Permanent sleeves and baskets have been installed on the Links course (or will be on Saturday morning.)

Sign up time at Quail Valley will be 9:00am.
Sign up time at Spring Valley will be 10:00am.
