we will post here to announce upcoming workdays and discuss the directions we want the courses to go.

ok so El chile have you heard back from the city about concrete pads??? thanks

Not yet, but we should hear something soon. :cool:

how long is soon?
Who did you speak to and didn't you say David Buzzel was back at the Parks deparment?
I want to give the parks a call today and I want to talk to who you spoke with.

OK, Vinnie I did talk with David Vasquez, and he said that he was not on that project. Mr. Vasquez did give me David Grizzel phone number, I call David and he was not in, I did leave him a message about the tee boxes and I'm waiting for a return phone call. If David foregets to call me back I will call him again tomorrow. I will keep you posted Thanks for those phone numbers they where helpful.

I just finished talking with David Buzzell, and he said that the ball is rolling again, he was away from the city for the last 3 months and they have a new City Attorney. He said that the City and the Club have to come to an agreement about who's to maintane the tee boxes and etc. and that he would call Vinnie when this is ready ( soon). I told David that the Club would do what ever it takes before during and after the tee boxes are in. So Vinnie be expecting a call soon.



Its been a month....Send me buzzels # and I will call today

Randy Gordon Parks Manager Parks & Recreation 341-3340 . i dont see david's name listed in the parks directory

me neither

331-3045 is his number

I tried the number and it comes up either a non working # or the correct area code to complete call :confused:

try 341-3045

make another guess!
That ones doesn't work.
I was looking for a direct # to David.
I will call the parks department and get the ol "please hold to be transfered"

351








how many more guess do I get

I got a hold of him :)
And he is back and an agreement will be completed this month.
I asked for a better time line.......(he gave me the big pause)....but did say he would contact the attorney today and see where we are at.
I did tell him that it would of been easier to ask for forgiviness than permission :D
I also told him I would call him every Thrusday till hell freezes over or until concrete was dry

any updates????

David's number is 341-3345

you make it to work?? if so how are the roads? and you have a PM

Yes I'm at work we are in emergency mode. I got your PM'S yes we are going to Victoria. Are you going to Cedar Hill?

That all mess up Chile. :cool:

Pete was calling Round Rock, Ground Box!! :D:DThat was so funny :D:D:D

fingers crossed.
I called David AGAIN!
The city lawyers are 99% done with the tee box agreement. Some skate park has kept the city busy and disc golf on back burner.
And the dam is going through a face lift, this makes C basket a possible problem or it may not be a problem. Hard to say at this time.He was very sorry for the delay, but will work to complete agreement this week.

lol

Good work vinni :cool:

not really...just a bunch of phone calls.
But hey just maybe soon

For this project you can count me in :)

There will be a new Dg course put in by the Cedar Park Parks and rec dept in the vicinity of Parmer and Brushy Creek..

Wow. (seriously)
And then there's the one just north of the 1431/Lime Creek intersection.....over near where you live Efi.

I sure hope they can come close to the quality of Wilco!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know anything /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
but I bet they were designed by the city folks and the longest hole COULD be 200'

I don't know anything /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

crap. like that 9 hole pitch and putt in Leander by Bagdad/Osage. ouch

I don't know anything /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
but I bet they were designed by the city folks and the longest hole COULD be 200'



I believe it was just proposed and i doubt the city will design it... its a decent sized parcell of land..

Wow. (seriously)

where did you find info on that one john?

I think it was in the CP/Leander Community Impact newspaper thing that comes in the mail every so often....park being built there, with a disc golf course included. TLast time i drove on 1431 and looked north as i passed Lime Creek Road, i could see some constuction was going on and i assume its that park i read about. I think they are gonna make the west end of New Hope hit 1431 and this park is gonna be on that section.

The park is "Northwest Community Park" and here's an article i found about it:

http://www.hillcountrynews.com/articles/2006/08/02/news/news01.txt

that confirms my recollection about the park itself and its location on New Hope....but now i can't find the info on the disc golf course. I swear i read about it in a similar article with that same drawing of the park.......maybe it was confusion on the article writer's part (confused with the course rumored to be at brushy creek park)......and i'm just spreading it, lol.

I hope there is a course there, it is really close to my residence.. :D:D

Are you talking about this course?

From Texas Parks and Wildlife:

Williamson: Williamson County Brushy Creek Regional Park II (regional park) received $517,213 to acquire 37.1 acres by donation to expand and further develop Brushy Creek Regional Trail located east of the City of Cedar Park in the southern area of the county. Proposed development includes a 2.75-mile trail with creek crossing and aquatic viewing area, fishing areas, wetlands improvements, aquatic garden, water fowl feeding area, xeriscape garden, exercise station, nine-hole disc golf course, 10 benches, kiosk, interpretive signs, roadway, parking, and project acknowledgement signs.

From Williamson County: (http://wcportals.wilco.org)

Construction of Phase 2 of the Brushy Creek Regional Trail will begin this month. Phase 2 will extend the trail east from the Creekside Trail Head at Great Oaks 4,000 feet through Fern Bluff MUD property. Muniz Concrete and Contracting is the contractor on the project. The trail is projected to be open this spring and will cost approximately $467,000. It will be constructed of granite gravel and concrete and will have some interpretive signs.

�Trails for hiking, biking and walking are one of our top priorities, as well as the top priority for the cities and Municipal Utility Districts in and around us,� said Jim Rodgers, director of Williamson County Parks and Recreation.

When all phases are complete, the Brushy Creek Regional Trail is a planned 8-mile project from Cedar Park to IH-35 in Round Rock. The trail was designated as a National Recreational Trail by the National Parks Service in June 2005. Phase 1 of the trail is approximately 3-miles long and runs from the new City of Cedar Park Brushy Creek Lake Park at Parmer Lane to the Creekside Trail Head at the intersection of Brushy Creek Road and Great Oaks Drive. The trail is open from sunrise to sunset and is free to use.

that's the one that Efrain mentioned earlier today....park expansion to the existing park that contains the trail that is along Brushy Creek Rd. between Parmer and Great Oaks.

The one *I* mentioned is another park for which I was pretty sure i read about a golf course being built at it....but now i'm no so sure.

oh well.


Onward through the Fog. :D

any updates on t-pads and if C-hole needs to move its been 2 weeks form last update? thanks

I meet with the parks next Wednesday @2;30. We will be revisiting the contract (review tee box size, our liability, and locations) they also said they will want to know when we can start work. David (parks) has decided that it would be easier for us to apologize than get permission. So ITS ON. We need to act fast�so who wants to coordinate our resource, set time lines, and delegate responsibilities.

I guess all know what the club wants next Wednesday

I want to help, please keep us posted Vinnie.

will do

So ITS ON. We need to act fast�so who wants to coordinate our resource, set time lines, and delegate responsibilities?

Who is the cement donator? and the rest of the materials?

timmy needs to be contacted about concrete donation
keith said something form wood.
need a bobcat ? going to see if park folks can do this.
goblin said he could head up wire and head up work details.
what else? I am busy

No problem with getting some 2x4's for the tee pads. Will need a couple of days notice and will need list of size pads we are going to build. Like how long and how wide and how many. Will haul in my p/u to site whenever we are ready to go. :o

will let you know size next wednesday...thanks for stepping up........ball is bouncing around SOMEONE pick it up :D

If I am in town - I will be there....

IF THERES COORS, YOU KNOW IM IN :D

Good job there, now on what day is this going to happen? I'm there. As for Coors Water, how about some real BEERS!! ;)

Glad to be on the board finaly... I'll help just lemme know when!

say matty,is that you matt with blue mustang and if so welcome to the message board. and dont forget my sisters kids are in town, and i need a babysiter. :) :D/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :eek: :cool:

welcome Matt...I am going to have to come up with your nickname.......
and you want some quality lesson....lets talk

This evening I will be walking the course with Timmy(concrete connection). We will determine how many man hours are needed to set the forms and rebar. We have 10yds. donated, they want us to do all 10 yds which is 19 boxes the same day. We don't have the resources to do that, so I will be pushing for 6 at a time. Then we will only have to do 6 forms, move them to the next six, and so on. The bottom line is we may not be able to use all that is donated if they want us to take it the same day.
Once this starts it's on, and we need everybody that committed to helping us out to be on tap. Me and V can't head this up, we will be there to work but can't be the "el heffe's" on this. Laying the wire and rebar will be the biggest part of the work and probably the most expensive part. They start scraping 6 boxes at a time Friday the 30th, and they expect us to keep pace with them. So here's our chance to get this done before the heat and give OSP what it's always needed, concrete boxes.

thanks, edman

Its time for someone to truely step up..... enough talk!
If we can get 20+ people showing up at 3:00 on a weekend day to play golf, I am confident we can get plenty of man power. What we need is somone to take the horn and lead.
We got the blessing and we have obtained resourse. So we need someone to make sure wire is there, wood is there, man power is there, and the job is done on time.

IF anyone is interested they will need to meet with Ed and I and we can go over park requirements and resources.
Or call Ed and make the park walk through TODAY.
March 29 parks start the dirt work....if we are not there ready.....we can expect to play in dirt boxes for a long time.

Let see some action.....we are telling everyone we are not going to do it.
Either say you will not do it or that you will do it.
Don't just sit there and read this with nothing to say.

if you can not respond by the board.....call me 723-9026

March 29th (Thursday) Edman & I fly to El Paso. We will not be there.

This seems as good a thread as any to pose this question. When does the RR club meet and who runs the club? What positions are held in the club and by whom. It is time that I got involved in the RR club and I want to know how the club works.

meet when needed
We had an offical cabinet, now there is no titles just folks that make it happen.
For sure the coffeys are decision makers and receive input from cware,keith may, myself and .......the membership.
We have a bank account.
April fools is renew time
And yes la la you will be out of town...me too...
So the question was posed ...WHO WANTS TO RUN THIS PROJECT?????
Incert sound of crickets

sssshhh...and you can hear members posting on other threads....just not this one.
Ed you might as well call me after the walk through

Just spoke with Goblin and will see if I can p/u the 2x6's tomorrow and deliver to Goblin. Concrete forms (2x6's) are on track. What's next after that? :D:D

screen and rebar

Whom is providing that material?

us, throw me some $ figures on what it will take, Goblin was originally going to supply free, no can do, too much time has elapsed, we have to buy it now

has anyone tried to get a hold of ben vallejo maybe he can help

he lives in san antonio now, seen him at the ice bowl, Smokin Joe maybe knows how to reach him

If any one can get Rusty to look at the board he can probably find some around his job site's. You are going to see Rusty this weekend C-Ware, ask him and if he does I can run down south next week and p/u for free. If not we only sell full rolls (150ft) of the wire mesh (high dollar) and not even sure we stock rebar anymore. You can also check with Lowe's Home Depot as they sell it by the foot on the mesh cause we only need 60feet to do 6-boxes. Goblin will have to do the math on the rebar to tell us how many pc (comes 20ft) he needs.

Goblin is walking the course tonight with us, maybe he has an ace in the hole somewhere, well I'm sure something's in a hole, anyway sorry to drift. We'll need 1 20ft. piece of rebar per t-box and probably 9ft. of screen per box. Glad to see some action on this and we'll keep all of you lurkers informed. V mentioned something about a Home Depot gift card someone has. Any idea who it was?

I will try to be there, but I can't commit- I have no idea what my schedule will be like that day until that day. I am taking off early the next day (March 30th) for the fundraising party for RW.

We were able to get out there yesterday and look at the upcoming work. For starters we won't need the rebar, TImmy will be donating all we need from his jobsite. The screen on the other hand we have to get our hands on. We're going to need 200 linear feet of 4 ft. wide screen.
The ball is in Goblins court and he will be leading all work crews, he can't post but can read the board, so please let him know on the board when you are available, he will be contacting you.
The decision has been made to pour all 19 boxes the same day. That date will most likely be the 28th of April. So all forms will have to be laid down in 4 weeks. We will have the concrete truck the entire day. Timmy will be working on getting a bobcat donated for the holes the truck can't drive to.
So the first action item is to go to the park next wed-thurs and mark the first 6 boxes so the city knows where to scrape. It is very likely that nobody will be needed Friday the 30th, but starting the next week is where the members will play there part at setting forms. We will put down 6 forms a week. Goblin will be building forms at his house the whole time. So let him know when you are available to go there and help him. I will keep putting info on the board for all volunteers by Goblins direction.

this is great news, I will get with the city
They need to know how we are going to get it do.
We need a list of folks who can be there on the 28th. It will take our biggest showing for a work day to pull this off.
It would be niice if we could get someone to head up some food and adult refreshment for the the work day.....that seems to bring everyone out.

i will do the water, beer and sandwiches for the whole day. so since im doing that does that mean i get out of doing the real work. :D:D

Sounds great!
Looks like Athens is that weekend, I had planned to attend but will cancel.
count me in as concrete shoveler.
Eddie said he would help.

I might be jumping ahead, but I don't think rain, mud and fresh concrete go to well together. In case we get hit like today do we have a make-up date with the city?? :confused:

no worky this weekend........
Goblin will be rolling out a plan for a ONE DAY POUR for 19 tee boxes....if we do this ALL the concrete will be FREE!

has anyone been able to procure some screen?

O.K. talked with Goblin last night and here is where we are.

The first 6 forms are made, Keith call Goblin he needs the rest of the wood for the rest of the 13 boxes. As mentioned before all the rebar is covered Timmy has donated it. He has also drummed up enough screen for 15 boxes, we need enough for 4 more he will be giving those totals in the next couple of days.
We will need at least 20 five gallon buckets on pour day, 1 bucket per box to keep wet until they are smoothed. We will need trowels and hoes and any other tools that will be helpful for pour day.
Here is the biggest obstacle for the whole thing. WE NEED 40 PEOPLE THE DAY OF THE POUR. 2 people on each box and couple to run with Goblin to each one to do the finish work. THIS DATE RIGHT NOW IS SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 28TH. We will start a list tomorrow at the mini of who can committ to doing this. So thanks in advance to everyone that will be there, and I mean EVERYONE.
Things are moving quickly, Goblin isn't messing around with this project, He wants to be done before the heat comes, so let's all do our part and help. The Double R is counting on all it's members to pitch in. We may need some folks this Saturday to start laying forms, I will post later today to firm that up.

I got 1-2 buckets. count me in for whatever on the 28th.

this is good stuff!

i first played Old Settler's in 96, back when i would play like once every couple of months when I had nothing else to do. Its about time!

Count me in!

I can supply buckets. Home Depot sells them for cheap. I think. (the things they use for shopping baskets)

TOmorrow at around 6:30 me and Goblin are going to Timmy's jobsite to pick-up the rebar and some screen with a trailer. We need to get it before it disappears. Who can skip the mini and meet us at my house to go pick it up?

13-more boxes would be 39 more 2x6x10's. Will get with my boss thursday when he returns and get him to donate 39-more for our boxes.
Can't lift anything heavy due to hernia's but will help with the pouring and deliver the lumber to Goblin's house when I get it approved. Will check with Ronnie to see if we can use his concrete tools for finishing boxes. All this is to be done 4/28 correct??

4/28 is pour day....20 boxes
I am calling the city to dig 10 boxes at a time starting April 6....Form work (by the club the 7th)
April 13 the city will dig the next 10 boxes....April 14 anothe club form work day.
April 21 &22 (TWC)....maybe some fine tuning of the forms.
April 28.........EVERYTHING POURED!!!!!

TOmorrow at around 6:30 me and Goblin are going to Timmy's jobsite to pick-up the rebar and some screen with a trailer. We need to get it before it disappears. Who can skip the mini and meet us at my house to go pick it up?

If we're not able to pick these items up today, it is most likely that they will walk off the job site on there own. We're talking about $1500 (that we don't have) worth of steel. This is not a 2 man load & unload with Ed's $3000 back. This will not happen without help. Anyone able to pitch in on this today? It also looks like the pour date will have to move as well. Saturdays just don't happen with the company that's donating the truck & concrete. Wednesdays may be changing to 5 hour work days if this is going to come together.

everyone owe's Edman and Goblin a HUGE THANK YOU for getting some of the material last night..

Thank you

Thanx to Edman & G for all the hard work on this project. I'd like to see a few others that say they'll help any time start helping when we're asking for help.

Thanks ed and goblin!
You guys are the bomb

So next wed. work on the tee boxes, I'm helping.

Ed and goblin have a plan. I sure we will hear it soon.

Last night we(me, Goblin, Hellman)were able to get enough screen to do all 19 boxes. Goblin will be bringing the rebar little by little, we just had to get the creen before someone else took it.

Keith, still waiting to hear from you on the rest of the lumber, I know you are waiting to here from your boss so just let Gob know how it is going. We shouldn't need nearly as much since we are doing 2 pour days, check with Goblin to make sure we can re-use the first 10.

The first workday at the park will be April 7, our goal that day will be to set half of the forms, the boxes will be scraped by then. If we can get a good showing we can start early and be done in time to make Ricky's party. If we don't get a good showing of folks than I'll just go out to John's and burn the palce down, just kidding. :D
Bring shovels, rakes and any garden tools that you think will be helpful.
From there we pour those boxes on Wednesday the 11th, so sorry to say no golf that night, your score will be how hard you worked and we'll payout the top third as usual. :p We have the truck scheduled to be there at 3, so please start making plans to be there. We figured it would take 20 mins a box, that's if we can pull some strings with the city to get a bobcat to run crete to boxes the truck can't drive to. So that puts us at 3 hours and 30 minutes, we'll have to work fast to keep up with the truck. If we don't get the bobcat we'll have to wheelbarrow some of it. I'll keep you all in the loop on how that is developing. Pray for bobcats, everybody pray.
From there we should be able to re-use those forms and set them on the 14th, to be ready to pour on the 21st.
So that's the plan, rain would be about the only thing that would keep us from getting the crete on those scheduled days, but I'm not worried about that because I can only remember 2 times we didn't play on Wednesday's because of rain. The Double R and the city is counting on huge support from it's members on these workdays, I realize everybody can't make it all 4 workdays, so let's just make sure we have enouogh to do what we need to do on any given day.

count me in for all the days. I also have 2 buckets we can use for water. I will also bring some beer for the WORKERS after we pour the first set of boxes.

the club will get pizza delivered to the park on Wed the 7th and also will bring some beer to go with the pizza. now we need a strong showing from the members!!!


DOUBLE R ROCKS

My boss has agreeded to donate the other 13-boxes which is 39-more 2x6x10's. From what I am hearing, we don't need that many since we are going to be re-using some.? My question is, how many more 2x6's or tee pads do yall think we really need as I can p/u tomorrow and drop at Goblin's casa. If we don't need all of the remaining 13, what do we need.?? Someone let me know before 11:00 am tomorrow and I will deliver in the pm to Goblin :D:D:D

Keith I need you to communicate with Goblin on this, I can't nor can anyone else but Goblin make that decision. He will know if those forms can be re-used. Call him, take the lead oh mighty king of budweiser.

Cool, what's his number??

Left a message with Goblin, just waiting on his response!!

Count me in... Maybe I missed it but do we have the 4 work dates??? I saw the 7th - so that will be Saturday (maybe out of town for Easter) - we planning on working Wednesday the 4th - if so, I am there....

Sorry Edman - after reading your post a bit more closely I see:
4/7 - Set Forms
4/11 - Pour / Concrete Truck there at 3PM
4/14 - Set Forms
4/21 - Pour

Do we have other times we want people to show up at?

is those dates right? TWC is the 21st right.

Have not heard back from Goblin, and due to major storms possible this afternoon, will probably just drink cfo's and deliver early next week. Left two messages yesterday so hopefully he is thinking about what we need. for next saturday.

ok so this Saturday is the first workday right? I will be there as long as I dont have to go to houston for family easter. will know my status later this week. for sure count me in for the other 3 days and I looked I have 1 big bucket we can use.

cool to hear.....And we will need everyone....I know folks will have other things to do...... And I ain't trying to point fingers or single anyone out. Keep in mind when make decisions
Yard work will be there next week,Easter will happen next year, and the world will turn.............
The chance to have tee boxes at the Rock is a one time shot.
Someone talk to Russel and Ronnie....them guys WILL be needed.

4/5 & 4/6-City scraping holes 17-8
4/7-Club workday setting forms on holes 17-8
4/11-Club workday pouring holes 17-8 starting at 3pm-no golf day
4/12-&13 City scraping holes 9-16
4/14-Club workday setting forms holes 9-16
4/18-Club workday pouring holes 9-16-starting at 3pm-no golf day
Tight schedule but we can and will do it. Thanks for everyone making plans for this to happen.

Russell will be out of town for Easter with his wife's family.
Ronnie said if he comes home this weekend he be there to help. Dropped off the other forms to Goblin this am. I'll be there saturday and may bring BIG RED with me. What time on saturday morning??

With Easter Sunday coming, the city doesn't want 10 holes through out the park for children to hurt themselves in. We will still have the Saturday workday, but the city will not have scraped the boxes until Monday the 9th.
10-15 workers to meet at the Rock (hole 14)this Saturday @ 9. We'll split up to mark the course, go to job site, & get rebar (1 more truck needed) & get supplies.

Main work days (updated 4/2 @ 9:30 pm)

Monday 4/9 set forms @ 4:00
Tuesday 4/10 set forms @ 4:00
Wednesday 4/11 pour holes 17-8 @ 3:00
Saturday 4/14 set forms on 9-16 @ 9:00
Wednesday 4/18 pour holes [email protected] 3:00

This is alot happening very quickly, but I know we can pull this off as a club. Double R Rules! Saturday we should be off to the party about noon if everyone shows up & pitches in. Yoshi, Edman & I will bring the 2 mach 3's when we come to the party on Saturday. Be well Ricky Wright.

sounds like a plan. will we be taking the rebar and other material to your house or goblins until the 9th?

We will be taking the rebar back to the park and putting it in the fenced area off of 4's tee box. We'll send 2 trucks with GOblin downtown to cut and bring rebar back to park and the folks at the park can help unload. We will send trucks to Goblins house to bring all forms to fenced area as well.

ah ok makes sense.

ah ok makes sense.


WOW....this is crazy.......but together we will get it done.
whos running TWC ;)

Thanks for the update Lala. I like those dates as they coincide with days I don't have family (daughter) committments. I've got a heavy work load right now but damm I will make time to be there on most if not all the dates you posted. Won't be able to make the Rock on weekdays till 4:45ish though.

Like Vinnie said. We need to sieze this opportunity. The biggest variable at this point is manpower. Time to step up.

Let's make sure this gets talked about tomorrow before the mini starts.

I will be there with Big Red saturday. Would it be wise to stop by Goblins and grab forms on the way to park?? Or do we have a tralior we can use to do this?? Just a thought to save some time.

I will have a trailer with me, so no worries. Does anyone know if John Josh's buddy has a bobcat/tractor we could use on pour days?

Cool, that works!!

Here is a list of supplies needed and when, make sure all the tools you bring has your name on them.

List for Saturday 4/7
marking paint-getting from Timmy
4ft. levels
line levels-attaches to string
string

List for pour days 4/11 & 4/18
All supplies from Home Depot-edman to get
4 ft. wood levels
sledgehammers
rakes and hoes
pushbrooms
trowels or any other concrete tools
edge trowels
sharpshooters
wheelbarrows
cordless tools-drills, sawzalls, circular saws
handsaws
gloves

Jon does not have a tractor nor a bobcat.

I think we need a jitter bug

I will have sign up sheets at the mini today for the various workdays we have coming up. also we will need to have 1 more work day after the last pour to remove the forms from holes 9-16. if you do have tools we can use please ensure your name is on them somewhere so you get them back. I am sure hoping we have good turnouts for these work days and I dont want to hear any lame excuses, either be there or like V would say "shut your donkey" :D

chris, i wont be at the mini tonight (baseball) but you can put my name on all the sign up sheets, i dont have any tools but ill be there on all of them. :D

ok thanks Mike H. I will write you down you did see what time the week day pour days starts right? 3:00

i get off at 4;00 will be there at 4;30 :D

We might need to get some yellow caution tape to put around the boxes after the pour to ensure no causal golfers try to use the Tee Pads....

shhhh!t we posting 12 pack sentenals
g

Be ready am saturday, could be wet and could be cold, but the job must go forward.
Vincent!! Leaving my house at 8:30am tomorrow, if you still wish to ride with me.
see all you happy campers in the morning!

I will be driving myself....see eveyone there

In town now so I will be there... Edman - I will have my truck so you now have a 4 door truck. I will also bring my 16' trailer. Bring the rain suit - I think we will need it :(

cool sounds like we can use your truck and trailer to get the re-bar from downtown.

That's good news Ware2, Chris C. is suppossed to bring a trailer but a second one to go downtown is a good idea, easier to load, and the rebar won't f-up anyone's truck. Lala is trying to pull something together for a snack, and I will go get plenty of drinks(NA). C-dub said he would bring all the brown beer we could drink. The cold doesn't keep us from playing golf, so put on long johns and let's get'er done.

You guys may want one of those 10x10 pop up canopies also. Keeps the rain off if it while you do the finish work and gives it a little time to start setting up. Then move to the next one. Or get two tents and rotate them.

Just a thought. ;)

thanks for the idea

It's supposed to be nice weather starting Monday, but no doubt a great idea. TwoPutt I met you at worlds, I'm good buds with Rotan and I know you had a lot to do with the success of worlds. TSDGA rocks.

I'm going to rent another quickie saw today, for cutting rebar. We need to send 6 guys downtown, not 4 like planned. This will take the most time out of the 3 tasks we have this weekend. So Ware2, Goblin, C-dub and 3 more. Sound good? You guys take truck/trailer and 1 other vehicle.
Chris C. and Keith can go to Gobs and get forms and screens on his trailer. We have the spot where everything will be stored. Harrell I was hoping we could use your truck on the course to mark the boxes with Vinnie and a couple other guys. I can take some people to get supplies.

Remember that my truck is a company truck and does not have a tralior hitch on it so I hope that Chris C has a hitch on his. My oldest son Brian (big red) will be with me so he can help load heavy forms and wire mesh sheets. Do you still need string line level and level's?? I will have all three with me anyway. See yall bright and early (at least for me) at 9:00am hole 13/14.

we will take big red (brian) with us to cut rebar.

ed that sounds good. :D

I am good to go downtown to cut rebar as I will have the Truck and Trailer...

Might want to ask him first!!
He has no gloves'
WE will be there EARLY!!! :D:D:D

Hopefully we will be able to get all 10 forms on the ground today, and not have to work tommorrow. We will post update after today. Whoever get's there first start grabbing forms and putting them on boxes that are scraped. I have many tools in my truck. Need more big sledgehammers today.

are we for sure the city is scraping them today?

City told me by phone that their morning meeting covered doing the dirt work....I spoke with him later and he was going to check and get back with me.......haven't heard back.
Called goblin to check and he has not got back with me.
But city did say they covered in morning meeting............fingers crossed..... I will post real information ASAP

DIRT WORK IS DONE.....and waiting on us

cool .. I will stop and get some beer for after we set forms for the workers.

Perez bring ICE PLEASE

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SHOWED UP YESTERDAY AWESOME JOB!! Now the big day is this weds we will need as many people as possible to pour these tee boxes. We will be starting at 3:00 on tee box # 17 than working towards # 18, # 1, # 2 , #3 all the way to # 8 so come on out and help if you can. we will need all the help we can get to stay up with the truck. bring a wheel barrow if you have one ...

do we have a leader?


Yes it was good to see all the people and had me a tingle moment driving into the park, seeing the holes dug...been a long time coming bout time we go concrete

I'll be there.......anyone for a practice round starting at 1 and finish by 3 on Wed.?

ware...can you take the action item of updating the course discription in the PDGA course directory about concrete tee boxes? And make sure it reflects 21 holes

done have sent updates to PDGA

just found out we will still need 3-5 folks try and make it out today around 4:00 to help ensure the tee boxes are level, ensure we have the right amount of dirt in there and also put some caution tape around the forms so no one gets hurt.

if you can help please try and be around hole # 1 around 4:00 look for V or Goblin. thanks

It is a broom that is made for concrete. It's real soft, and like I said, the surface, after brushed will not look like it has much grip. But if you talk to anyone that does concrete for a living. They will tell you that a rough brush is super grippy. You can use a regular push broom. If you do, don't push down very hard on the brush and rinse the broom after each stroke accross the box.. This is very important.....Start brushing by setting the broom down very softly on the opposite side of the box that you are standing.(you want to brush toward you, pull the broom to you then rinse and move over the width of the broom and repeat until you get to the end of the box) You will brush from side to side, not front to back. Only do this process once then let box dry. Don't forget to RINSE broom after each brush.. Otherwise, the concrete will build up on the broom and cause rounded grooves instead of sharp grooves like you need for maximum grip!! Good luck and if you have any questions, pm me and I'll do my best to help you out. We used 3000 psi concrete. It works great and will last forever.


found this in the teepad design thread..

cool....sound like we will stain the concrete at later date (grass green)

Speaking of level, I did not get back my red 4' alum. level yesterday. Please whom ever has it bring it back out wednesday (pour day) so I can get it back as i use it at my work. Have a meeting at 4:00pm today so probably will not make it out, but feel free to use my level on the tee pads today just bring it back out tomorrow. Thanks in advance for yall's help with this matter. :D:D:D

J.D. has a broom that is made just for this. Also bring push brooms if you have any as these will work as well to make rough surface on OUR tee pads. 5-gallon buckets full of water will also be needed for this purpose. See everyone at #17 tomorrow to pour concrete.

Lets play the full course 1pm-3pm then let the fun start. Anyone?

It will help a lot if you wet the forms before the concrete goes in. Just makes it easier to remove the forms. ;)

When you guys broom it, do not edge the pads, we did some like that in Tulsa. While they looked great, the last 3 inches of the box on the end and side turned out very slick.

twoputt not sure what you mean by "edge" the pads?

we were going to do that....I am glad you drop the experience on us.
Good times last night!
Didn't know how much wet clay shrinkes.... Ed, Tim, and I went out to caution off the boxes and fine tune.....ended up shoveling, RE-tighing rebar.......as the sun set......thought to myself it will good to play off concrete.

I also thought to myself, wouldn't this be great if we had some help, us 3 wouldn't be out here bustin our arse until sunset on a day where it was implied "there's no more work until pour day". Whatever, hope you all had a ruby tuesday.

yes Ruby tuesday was nice. If we had so much more work why didn't we finish it up on Monday instead of standing around drinking? :confused: would be nice to have some sign up sheets with folks who sign up and than know when the work days are..

Sorry but gas is pretty expensive to be driving back and fourth to RR from my house everyday.

Can someone in the know please repost the remaining workdays??

Monday 4/9 set forms @ 4:00
<font color="red"> Tuesday 4/10 set forms @ 4:00 </font>
Wednesday 4/11 pour holes 17-8 @ 3:00
Saturday 4/14 set forms on 9-16 @ 9:00
Wednesday 4/18 pour holes [email protected] 3:00

twoputt not sure what you mean by "edge" the pads?



We had them brushed from edge to edge, then the crew behind us put a nice finished edge on the pads. Yes, it looks good but produced poor results. It is amazing how that little 2-3 inch edge can be slick as ice.

We learned from that and all of the other pads were brushed, then left alone. They turned out great.

I really wish I was there to offer some help. The work is hard but we had a blast getting all of ours in the ground.
By the time you pour 70+ pads, you learn a couple of tricks. All the pads poured last year have no cracks or breakage and those huge tractor mowers run over them all the time. ;)

We ran one 2 man crew mucking in the concrete (who ever does this needs to where clothes you no longer want and some type of eye protection, that crap burns when it splatters in the eye) and two, 2 man crews skreeting, then two, 2 man crews macking and floating and one guy coming behind them to brush. Total of 12 workers. Kind of like an assembly line. We were able to get 18 poured and finished in about 6.5 hours. ;)


Good luck guys, I wish I was there. Its a great feeling to see a new pad in the ground. :DAnd know you were part of it.

We had mon and tues scheduled as work days, everybody knew that, so don't pull that card ware. If we didn't have much work we could of left. What would a sign up sheet of done if nobody shows up. The workdays have been posted, nothings changed.

ok thanks twoputt understand what you mean now.


Tuesday 4/10 set forms @ 4:00

I guess I was confused because it sure looked like we had the 10 forms set on Monday. oh well thank you Ed, V and Goblin we could not get this done without you guys.

Concrete is going to pour AT 3:00. Not when everyone shows up.........Ed and I have our phones on everyday if anyone needs to get a hold of us. We may have said we can't lead this thing.........sure fells like leading to me.
FYI .......ED and I are out of town Saturday......and what work done this last Monday and Tuesday will have to all be done Saturday for the remaining 9 boxes........we may have the luxuary of fine tuning before the pour....cause it seems that dirt shrinkes over night....if the center is deeper than 4' or the sides are deeper than the form board.....more concrete will be needed and only so much we get free.....dirt is cheaper than concrete

Thanx again to Edman, Vinie &amp; Tim Payne for the finish work on the set forms last night. I'd also like to thank the incredibly patient women in their lives that understand this sheet wont do itself.

We need everyone ready to go @ 3 today - for reals. If work holds you, walk out. We need to make this happen, wet cocrete does not wait on workers to arrive @ the Rock, it drys. I'll be there to run stuff from box to box &amp; deliver food when ya'll are close to finished. This will go smoothly so long as we all pitch in &amp; leave our attitudes &amp; opinions at home. Tim Payne should be one of the only people giving direstion tonight - pay attention, there's no redo on this.

I'll be there by 3PM today - out of town this weekend....

Has the city scraped the other 9 tee boxes if not than when will this happen. If they are not scraped by saturday than we cannot set the forms.

Tim Payne should be one



this should read Tim Payne should be the ONLY one giving directions :D:p

are there any other misc. materials needed? i should be there around 4..unless i can sneak out earlier. ;)

next work day is this saturday at 9:00 meet around hole #13's basket.

FREAKING AWESOME TURNEOUT!!! done by 5:15 and able to play a round .....TAHNK YOU EVERYONE THAT HELPED OUT!!

how about a ROUND ROCK!!!!!!!

how about a ROUND ROCK!!!!!!!


VERY good turn out and mucho done...we are half way done.
Ware did you get a new toy?
This is the time of year the Rock needs a event....people would think they are on a ball golf course

We do have an event in Round Rock this time of year, you just wont let the ladies play the Rock, even the final. :(

we will have an event on May 5 at the ROCK.. more details to follow very soon.

not really a new toy just thought a would start getting photos of all the hard workers and the pretty flowers. :D

Ware has informed me we have artist on the course as I type.....Tee box 1 has been tagged.
Keith May is out there and trying to find the people....and then the law will be called......can you say distruction of city property.................gettem may

Keith got a rubbing stone and removed 2 of the 3 names but not "sanchez 4/12/07" right front corner. DUMBAZZES :confused:

One of ours got tagged before we had even left the park. :confused:

Wet concrete and dumbasses, like bread n butter. :mad:

dumb punks....

he probably wrote it as he was receiving a Dirty Sanchez

lol

Did not find our tresspassers this am. Was able to remove to a degree 2 of the 3 imprints. Looks good except for sanchez 04/12/07 in front right corner, but could do a spot patch and maybe get it gone next week.
Spoke to BOBCAT boys about 13's tee spot, said they could not dig-out NEW spot due to the closeness of the tree's and were afraid they would damage tree's both below and above the ground so they dug-out were it has allways been. They had already dug-it out by the time I got over there and thats why they did not dig-it-out on the spot we had marked. Will try to make a run through this pm and re-check everything.
Looking more and more like I will NOT be avalible this weekend, hopefully I will be but right now its looking like NO WAY!! Pads look great and the clean up around them should be gravy easy.
See all yall soon, "the tee box cop".

Looking more and more like I will NOT be avalible this weekend

WHAT I was counting on you until 12:00 you should have went home last not and got your honey do's done like you were suppose too :confused:

Lets see how it goes tonight and tomorrow before I flat say NO. Things could change between now and saturday morning.
It all depends on ME and how much energy I can create in the next two days. What I have to do is going to harder than what we have been doing at the course so beleive me I would rather be at the course than at home!! But I have put it off for way way to long and it must get done before 4/19. Not alot of energy right now but must dig deep and find some as I do not want to let the club down.

Any cooking going on after next Wed. Tee Box work?

we should maybe some powling........

who can help out tomorrow?

Still not sure but did make some head way last night. What hole are yall meeting at tomorrow??

who can help out tomorrow?



I will be there

meet at #13 than break into teams of 3-4 people. 1 team to lay forms, rebar and screen. while other teams start to level and install. Just like last Monday than on Tuesday we will need few folks to go by and ensure they are still set properly.

WEDS will be pour day and we will need EVERYONE again at 3:00 to meet @ # 9's tee.

I'll be there - change in weekend plans and in town...

cool

ill be there :D

Who's gonna be there today? JD and Matt H.? If we don't get rained out. The goal was to start taking the forms off today correct? I will not be going out of town this weekend, Mom's not feeling well enough to have company. So I will be there on Sat., but I have to go to work in the AM, should be able to make it by 10 though. MUCHO WORK tomorrow, let's no save anything for Mon/Tues. Club will buy lunch tomorrow since we didn't have time on Wed. after we played.

Spoke to Russell the ace pot love muscle and he said to count him in tomorrow morning for form setting. I'll do my best to be there as well.

Getting off work right now. I'll give JD a call to see if we can hook up. I will start taking forms off with or with out.

The forms are out of the ground. JD and I got done around 2.

Was going to make it tomorrow morn. but heading to San Antonio tonight. Wife's son is back in the hospital for gal bladder surgery. Will try to make it back in time.

Played the new pads last night and they are sweet. Came in early to work so I'll be there before 10. Bring a circular saw someone to cut stakes with at the pavillion, I'll bring some 2x4's. Goblin said he would grab Eddies but won't be able to talk to him till I get at the park. We have some serious digging to do on some holes, so eat your weeties. At least the ground will be soft. Big rains at the rock last night. Another rock bar would be good to have as well.

Again, sorry I could not join yall this am for form work. Hopefully all went well without your leader and crew chief expert (ha ha ha ha). Truth be told, yall did not miss me at all probably. I'm sure yall did one heck of a job as allways. Are we still on for wednesday pour?? Same time??.

thanks for all the help this could not happen without the effort of everyone invovled..

next workday is 3:00 pm weds 4/18/07

ah the blue bonnets!

Can't make it tell about 4:00 on wed. and I won't have the big barrel of water. Wife is out of town and I'm not in my truck this week.

yikes what the heck ...

everyone bring 5 gallon buckets we will need them and wheel barrows and BEER!!! :D

yikes what the heck ...

everyone bring 5 gallon buckets we will need them and wheel barrows and BEER!!! :D



assuming i can get the afternoon off tomorrow (likely), I'll bring a couple of buckets.

thank you we will need all the buckets we can find either for water or to haul concrete to holes the truck cannot reach ...wheelbarrow will be tricky on the side of C-hole's tee box

thank you we will need all the buckets we can find either for water or to haul concrete to holes the truck cannot reach ...wheelbarrow will be tricky on the side of C-hole's tee box



oh yeah i have a large wheelbarrow i'll bring. Its not metal....its one of those hard plastic dealies. Gotta remember to air up its tire or it'll be useless.

i said a while back i'd get buckets from home depot........i'll do that......how many you think we'll need?

I would think at least 5-8 buckets should cover us.. 1 bucket of water for every 2 holes. 9 holes 4-5 with water and maybe 3-4 to haul concrete if needed....

I am heading out there today around 5...Goblin still needs to set the form form #12 and I want to make sure we have enough dirt in the boxes.......seems these dirt shrikes

if we get rain it will shrienk even more. 12 is going to be a mother with all the ROCKS..

How about some pics of all this work being done? ;)

I will post some pics later they are at the house.

goblin said he was obtaining metal stkes to complete # 12

We can handle c-hole back box with wheel barrows if we put 2-guys on them. If we try to fill boxes with 5-gallon buckets I don't think yall have any idea how long that is going to take, and will the concrete truck driver want to stay that late. We can do it with wheel barrows, we must, we will!!

maybe 3-4 to haul concrete if needed

I guess you did not see the part that says "if needed" ;)

5-gallon bucket of concrete ways about 50lbs. This old man can't and will not haul buckets of mud to boxes. And yes I did not see "if needed", cause if we do we don't have enough people to keep up with the truck. Bring wheel barrows, please!!

I will be out early tomorrow (around noon or so) and will start back filling the finished boxes if its not to muddy. And if not to muddy will load extra fill to help out on #12 since Rusty said was all rocks!! Also Rusty said #12 tee box moved?? Where/why??

a little right.. to make it an easier Hyzer :D

Hey Keith, you've worked around these concrete trucks before...do you think he will be able to go off road tomorrow with this rain? I know there were a few deep ruts when the ground was fairly solid last week.

How about some pics of all this work being done? ;)

Pour nine boxes last night and 3 were tagged before we left for the night.....Grown men writing in concrete....what is that all about...I can almost understand kids, but grown men :confused: We fixed their artist views.... but I would bet good money someone was waiting in the woods for us to leave....REtards!!!
Thank everyone for the hard work and making home a better place. We even got a round in afterwards. A little back fill and no moe ground box!....Right Chile?....Chile? Hey Chile?!Where was Chile? ;)

good job last to all that was there, sorry i got there late but with matt and goblin and crew kicking butt sadly i wasnt needed /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/2739/family045zd7.jpg

Matt won the concrete bucket race by a mile.......that guy was showing everyone who was number 1 :D

we will still need 1-3 people to go out friday afternoon with a cordless drill and some hammers to remove the remainder of the forms and also I will try and contact the city to see if they can back fill around the remaining tee boxes and remove any and all excess dirt..

cool! Yeah I am not going to have any spare time till the weekend is over.
Give David a call directly....He may just go for it.
But If we can get the crew up from 1-3 people to like 20. The back fill would go very easy.

email me david's #l I no longer can find him in the Round Rock directory. thanks
