The Commando Mini - Sundays at Spring Valley - Page 4

ching_lizard · Mar 20 2010, 10:23 PM

Tomorrow 3/21/2010 will be the last Commando Mini before Texas States next weekend.

I will have the Texas States tournament-stamped Rocs for sale at the Commando tomorrow. The Commando is the only place where you'll be able to score one!!!

I can't thank everyone enough for your continued support of the Commando Mini and its goal to raise money for Texas States. Your participation this year has allowed the Commando to provide in the neighborhood of $1,700 to the States fund!!!

After this weekend, we'll immediately start on the 4th year of operation of the Commando as we start raising money for the 2011 edition.

Come on out and test your mettle on the best course in Houston on Sunday mornings at 10:00 am.

The Commando Mini will begin running for another season next weekend.

I am not so sure that Commando will be used as a fundraiser for Texas States however.

It will be used to raise tournament sponsorship funds of some kind, but given the low level of appreciation by this year's and last year's Texas States organization, it will be changing.

The Commando Mini will be played at the McDade Park course in Conroe tomorrow, July 4th.

Water is high at Spring Valley so we're going to move it to McDade. We will post a sign up at Spring Valley in the morning and we'll be moving back the start time to 10:30 am to give folks a chance to drive up to McDade from Spring Valley.

Hope to see ya out there in the morning.

Back by popular demand:

The Commando Mini Disc Exchange - Dec 19th, 2010
(in time for the holidays!)

Here is how it'll work:
For those are interested, (it is completely optional, but we'd love to have your participation) please bring an un-wrapped, new, premium disc and you'll be eligible to participate in our disc exchange. We'll run the exchange in white elephant style: all the discs will go on display in a jumble on the table, and the first person takes his/her choice, second person has the option of taking the first person's choice or taking another off the table, if a person gets a disc taken from them, then they can pick from another person (except the one that took theirs) or draw another off the table. I think we ought to stipulate that once you've had a disc taken from you, you're "safe" until another new name gets called from the list. The first person will have the "option" to take someone else's disc or keep what he/she has as the final turn.

As I've done in years past, I'll dig down deep in my collection box and see if I can't come up with something "special" for this year's disc exchange. Hmmm...I wonder...

But for this week, December 12th, 2010:

For this week however, remember that because it is the second weekend of the month, it'll be Commando Doubles week!!! No need to bring your own partner, we'll let random mayhem select one for you with a deck of cards!!!

It's going to be chilly in the morning with winds in the 16 mph range from the North. Please dress warmly in some layers that you can peel off or open up as you get warmer.

Hope to see all you out there in the morning for some of the best doubles action in town!

I just wanted to get a shout out to Dave Hemmeline of The Woodlands for setting a new course record on Spring Valley's Finesse-18 course last weekend.

Dave scored a 40 last weekend during the Commando Mini. Andi Young was onsite in the Pro Shop after the round was finished and confirmed that this appears to be a new course record, beating Alex Hughes' record of 41 from last year.

I looked over Dave's card, and he was -8 after the first nine holes!!! He scored 15 birdies with his only bogey on the very difficult #18.

Congratulations Dave!

Just a reminder to everyone that Houston's longest running weekly mini is now in its 5th year of operation raising money for Texas State DGC.

It still runs every Sunday morning at 10:00 am at the Spring Valley Disc Golf course.

The cost is still just $10 and includes your green fees, Ace Pot and Mulligan with a cash payout following the round.

I hope to see you out there on Sunday mornings.

Dang! It's been a while since I updated this PDGA thread about the Commando Mini...

When: We still play every Sunday morning at 9:00 am.
Where: TC Jester disc golf course (all 21-holes from the White tees)
Cost: $10 for entry fee optionally: $1 Ace Pot and up to 5 $1 mulligans can be purchased
Payout: All cash payout immediately after the round ends.

The mulligan fund goes to HFDS for the course improvement fund at TC Jester. We are paying HFDS for the $1,500 worth of baskets used to expand the course, and once the baskets are paid for, we will then be using the money to fund concrete tee boxes.

We welcome and appreciate all players who participate in Houston's longest running mini tournament - now in its sixth year!!!

Find us near the practice basket just before 9am.
