There is a big write up about Russellville today in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette.Go to www.arkansasdemocratgazette.com (http://www.arkansasdemocratgazette.com)
Look for disc golf and you'll find it.Mack Hollis said it's a full page in the paper.(Oh and it's NOT the NW AR edition)
Again this is NOT a PDGA sanctioned event yet,I'm the TD and i'll do my best to get it done.Little Rock will represent here strong.Let's see if Western AR and NW AR can make it happen.Everyone is welcome.Come one Come all.New Pitch designed course.Make that 3 now. ;)

Seven Of us from LR Area drove over yesterday to check out the new course. Loved the Course !! Best part of the day for me was when Steve H and I left early and told the other 5 guys that it was fixing to rain. Nah they did not listen muhahahaha !!! Rain was so bad people where pulling over on the side of the freeway. Steve and I laughed so hard all the back to Little rock, In my DRY car !!

Great course !! Also wanted to point out one thing i noticed. Some of the Tee pads that are not poured yet are kinda facing the wrong direction. This was something i noticed. Seems a shifting of the pads over to the left or right might be needed on hole 4 and 5? they are facing a group of trees as you run up the tee pad. If they where to be reshifted abit they would aim right down the fairway :) but other than that i sure can see alot of hard work that has gone in so far !! And the course is a sweet layout for the area. It kinda reminded me of playing Golf in FL. where we would throw to the shade on the super long holes. I did that a few times :)

Thanks for the input.I'll be driving down tomorrow or wed to oversee the concrete.I'll make sure they don't pour 4 and 5 until I see it.
It looks like par for the course will be 58.
There's no way about 4 holes could be aced so they jump to par 4(I say no way but you never know,Act of "GOD" maybe) :D
Again thanks for the vote of confidence and i'm happy to be able to design another for the state.
(Now if we could just get about 20 more)
;)

Camping will be allowed this weekend at the park.I should be there friday afternoon to set up.
The course is looking good.Lost 3 discs I'd love to see my Marino Stingray again.Lost it on hole 16 in the bushes by the water.
Found some guys disc out there too.(A Willie something) :D

"AGAIN"
CAMPING WILL BE ALOWED FOR GOLFERS THIS WEEKEND AT PLEASENT VIEW PARK.
Bring your tents and game. ;)

What did I leave there? The only thing I knew of was a JLS and I thought it was in the drink for good??!! Hopefully not though, I just found out I could throw it decent today!
John and I ran down early this morning (there at 7:00) and played through it. I really liked the course, good mix of shots. Wish I had a big-arm like John to unleash on a few of them, but oh well. He ended up taking me by 2 strokes due to the long stuff. I shot a 64 and he shot a 62. I was overall happy with my play. There were 3 holes not completely cleared that I took 4's on that could have been 3's, I had 1 OB (JLS) and one drive into the ground 20 feet out. So I could have shot 59 easily.
Definetely going to be a GREAT course when it is finished and cleaned up. Probably the best championship caliber potential in AR!!!!

Everything went well with my dad's surgery, so I will be in Russellville tomorrow. I will be pulling out of Alma at 6:00am with two juniors so we can get a chance to lok at the holes that weren't finished earlier this week. I have 1 seat left in my car, 2 if you don't mind sitting close (it is a small car :( ), but that is good too because it gets really good gas mileage! Anyway, if anyone needs a ride let me know, I don't charge for gas money as I am heading that way anyway, and I'll be heading right back home when it is over.

Willie that is really nice of you!! I will gladly accept a ride in the morning. Let me know when u get near North Little Rock i will tell you where i live :)

... Scores ? ...

No problem man!! Just make the short jog to Exit 81 and I will haul you ALL the rest of the way to the course!!! :D
I should be there by 7:15.

Hay Pitch any good news with the talk about ADGA ?
Do you guys come up with anyting yesterday after the tourny?

Also heard that Tommy hurt himself and had to leave in the second round. Poor guy, Should hide the butter knifes in his kitchen with the luck he has :)

Thanks to everyone that came out, fun time, one helluva course, definite Championship course, lil bit of everything...can't wait to throw another event down on that baby!!

After the event several people discussed an Alliance of Arkansas DG Clubs and TD's to help bring in some BIG TIME DG to Arkansas, we are all getting with our local clubs to muster support, the Idea is to form a Board of Directors from all of the Ark. DG communities to pull in the SN Pro Series Championship to Arkansas (+$20,000 Event), we'll see what happens :)

Well done Ganzel :D.
