Roy G. Guerrero Grand Opening
Waterloo Fans, Friends, and Disc Golfers everywhere we are calling for your last minute support on the day of the Roy G. Grand Opening. We need your help in making this event the most memorable one which shows the community how great Disc Golf is to the city.

Can you come early or come in the afternoon or even stay through the day to help out? Our gratitude would be if you could. We have all worked hard and we just need this final push at the event to ensure we make it �Grand.�

On Saturday, June 9, 2012, we need volunteers:
WHAT
-********* Player help: spotters, walkers, and supporters of the new players to show them the game
-********* Last minute site maintenance: light trash pickup, mulching, etc.
-********* Support: water runs/checks, Card control, Sales, registration, memberships, etc.
-********* Other:* tear down, tasks of the day, and pack up of equipment

Can you bring extra water jugs (igloos) for the course or practice baskets for games and challenges? This would help us greatly as we support the many people that will be at the event.

If you can volunteer for an hour or more, we would appreciate it and thank you consistently, this day is going to be a wonderful day showing the entire Austin area what we Disc Golfers are all about. It�s a great way to say that you were there when it happened.

WHERE
Volunteers meet at 517 S. Pleasant Valley Drive (Krieg Field Softball Complex) in the back parking area near the sand volley ball courts. Simply follow the road, in the complex, past the fire tower and past the buildings. You will find plenty of parking available that is not closed off for the event.

WHEN
We need folks there starting at 8 am at the Waterloo Booth in the very last parking area towards Hole #1. Sign into the volunteer sheet and you will be directed to what we need filled.* If you can help out* later in the day (either because that is when you are arriving or because that is when you are done playing your round), just check in at the Waterloo Booth.

Once again, thank you for all that you do (and have done) to help us make this park a great success, now let�s finish it strong and show Austin the great show we can put on!

(All volunteers who play the club mini on Sunday, June 10th, will receive a discount on their mini entry fee � more info on the mini coming soon)

Thanks,
Waterloo Disc Golf Club

The Roy G. Guerrero Disc Golf Course Grand Opening Weekend was a BIG success! Thank you to everyone who made it possible.

Around 300 people attended on Saturday, with well over 200 people playing the course that first day. There were booths and vendors, including Disc Nation, Team Justice, WTF, EDGE, and of course Waterloooooo. The freestylers were out doing demonstrations and the Ultimate club was there too, plus live music all morning and into the afternoon. There was a nice opening ceremony which included speeches by Austin Parks Board Member Linda Guerrero, Austin Parks Dept�s Cheryl Bolin, Disc Nation�s Damon Neth, and Austin disc golf legend and founder of Circular Productions: John Houck; all culminating in the official �First Putt� and then the course opened for play.

100 players came down to take part in the first Roy G. Guerrero mini on Sunday, helped greatly by the other clubs and groups that usually have Sunday morning minis coming to Guerrero instead, and there were lots of casual players there too. The results are on the club�s facebook page and in the club website�s and pdga�s message boards.

The membership drive went very well too, with 24 new club members (we are now very close to #400).

Here are links to media stories, blogs, videos, and some of the online photo albums.
