yes the way it was it looked very dangerous. I sure would not like that to fall on me. Sat would be able to get 5 guys on it and get it out of the way. chainsaw would be better but whatever it takes.

I don't have access to a chainsaw either this weekend, I'll call Tony and tell him we did what we could. Let's let it ride for the weekend and I will get him there Monday. Thanks fellas, call me tomorrow when you guys are heading out there.

Got in a couple of more rounds. course is drying nicely .. NO MORE RAIN and we should be good to go.. I would like to see the course re-numbered with # 3 being # 1 and # 2= # 17 and #1 now being # 18 than you finish right at the bottom of the hill

The course is playing tough.
One round you may be -5 and the next you find yourself over.
The elements WILL be a part of this weekends play

appears more rain in the forcast :confused:

that mean you don't have a partner?

The course looked really good this Saturday with the exception of hole 1's teebox and hole 2's basket sitting in puddles. Maybe some dirt, sand, or mulch would help a little bit since there's more rain on the way.

agreed. Rivery is looking bad-*****!

alright that is what I like to hear. Martin and Lou will spread some dirt or mulch on holes # 1 and 2. hey try and get it down before this weekend!! :D

With all the weather I don't think they will be able to get down there.
We need to stay on top of this,I may be scambling to set up holes 1 and 2

I guess when it drys up a bit I will have to leave LV and come visit the revised, lookin good, tough to play Rivery.
Keep up the good work guys. :DJP

Vinnie, #1 isn't so bad, if you just place the tee pad behind the original box and have them all tee from the grass. Hole #2 is fine where it is. Let em get a little wet. :DWelcome to Rivery. Getch Yer Butt! :D

update on rivery.
It may be cold but the wind and the sun are out as I type.
fingers crossed: should dry that course out :D

It will be just fine with the new concrete pads y'all put in last weekend. Right?

aww man. I love to play in standing water in 30 degree temps.

wait a minute JAMES, you said you were doing the concrete

Just got back from playing Rivery. #1 tee box is under water and the water goes down the fairway for about 80 feet. #2 pin surrounded by water and comes back up the fairway 80 feet or so. Other than that the course is going to be ready and prime for some good DG.

Hopefully, during the alt. shot round, Chris can throw the drive on hole 1. I can drive on hole 2 and I will park it. That way, I never have to get in the water. :D

no worries about holes 1 & 2.
If they don't dry out I will insert 2 holes between 7 & 8
#3 would become 1
Jeff what did the green on 18 look like?
and isn't that hole 17 looking good?

Green on #18 is fine. #17 is getting better and better pulled me a sweet duece on it today with a low slow QJLS. :cool:

thanks for the info, I was a little worried about a flooded green on 18.

no worries about holes 1 & 2.
If they don't dry out I will insert 2 holes between 7 & 8



Don't even think about it, **** roller queen :mad:

I might have to if 1 and 2 are under water.
I know we can play 1 & 2 but all water is ob!!!! :D

So that you have an "ideal" of what I am talking about.
You know where the obstalcal course was, the city has torn all that down and land is avalible.
Come on James you know how I feel about hole 1. If I have any chance of getting rid of it
I WILL!!!1

If I have any chance of getting rid of it
I WILL!!!



Why is that? I think you should go to therapy and release your hatred of hole 1. :D

Anyways, if for some horrible reason those holes were not used, how about a couple of holes right next to the pond. I can hear Ware's discs right now just dreaming about that pond :p

you mean flying 3-4 hundred feet past the water!! something your discs can only DREAM ABOUT old man :D;) see ys tomrrow

The course played great. I hear tell Texas State Doubles was the first sanctioned event at the Rivery. I am sure it will not be the last. Many Quality players had their tails handed to them there. So they will be back for revenge.

Edman, is there foing to be a round of singles at Rivery today? What time.

I saw the Coffey's at San Saba on Saturady and they were staying the night. Don't know how early they're heading back.

Played two of the three courses in S.S., not as tough as I thought they would be, (not that my scores were smoking, just did not end up anywhere that I couldn't throw from), though my arm is hanging by a tread now and we did not play the longest of the three.

cool. do you know what time they usually play. do you know of anyone who is going to play.

thanx

I belive the time is 2:00 or 2:30, I don't make it out many Sundays, have to leave for work at 5:25pm.

Good Luck, most of the folks that would be playing G-town are at RR for the morning random draw dubs.

:cool:

Edman is marking the new holes Monday am, who can help & who wants to play? See ya'll there around 9am @ the new pavillion down by holes 4 & 5. The gate will be closed but unlocked, do not leave it open so random people don't drive in :D. We'll play a second round down south after lunch /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

2 threads??????? (http://www.pdga.com/msgboard/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=486987&Main=180407#Post486987)

"Attention: I35 will be closed at 1325 all weekend!
Find a route around!

Happy byrth day Vinnie!!

I'm not sure if I'll make it yet but in case I do, where is the pavillion at Rivery? Where's the best place to park now also?

go past wendys and a temp driveway has been put in just past the driveways of Wendy follow the road down and a NEW pavilion has been built by tee box 4 & 17

Happy b-day :D Now you can legally drink beer :cool:

thanks you all.
I-35 will be closed at 1325 this weekend find atlernative route.
Sure hope there is more disc golfers there than city workers

The work day went great! And the city has continued the work by working all this week on the course. The improvements to the course area grear addition to the all ready tight holes. This will, in my opinoun, be a favorite course of all.
This Saturday we are working the course at 9:30, come out and find us.

I had to mark more trees last night , just to keep the city workers busy the rest of the week.
Hopefully by the time we get there Saturday we will only have to fine tune the fairways. And spread mulch in the right places

Saturday work day is canceled.
Rain! And the city says we are moving to fast?
I will keep everyone posted

too fast for the city of G-town...the speed of snail :p

the following is from Edman:

Things are going ahead of schedule on the Rivery redesign. The city has mulched 95% of what was cut by us as well as them. We have one hole left to cut, the 666' hole that joins back with original course. I will post tomorrow work day details for the 4th and 11th. If we get the OK tomorrow there is no reason we couldn't have the rest of the trees done as well as baskets set by the 11th. We will need lots of help. Stay tuned.
Could somebody please put this on the Rivery thread. thanks edman

the work day for this SAT has been cancelled go enjoy the Waterloo Ice bowl or go play pease. The workd day is re-scheduled for 2/11/06

Bummer I was ready for this workday, :( I'll be playing the Ice Bowl.

Yea, bummer, I'm going hunting next weekend so won't be able to help out. :(

We just got the OK for this weekend. Bring it on all who can make it and let's get some baskets in the ground. Starts at 9.

Good deal - I am finally free that weekend and will be there... Do we need any equipment (Chain saw, etc...)???

we need post hole diggers,diggin bars,and shovels.
The plan it to plant 6 baskets

Awesome workday yesterday. Steve-o, Jamy, Goblin, Ware2, B, and V put a huge dent in completing. For conveince sake we added about a 100' to it. /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif The next 3 are gonna be pure hell. We'll need bigger rock bars and power tools I'm afraid. One last hole to cut, which should be done by the parks dept. this week. 2 more good workdays should finish it. Thanks again to all who showed.

I am still sore....but if you want something done....get on it.
It was a great day!
We are planning for the weekend after vic to finsh the course.
If a hand full can get 6 baskets done a good showing can finish it.
SO BRING IT!

why not this weekend? Victoria is FULL.

Cause Ed and I will be in Vic.
Now if you think can make THIS Saturday......get some folks together and get er done.

sorry guys that I could not make it, I was call in to work at 2:15am, 3:45am,5:00am, 7:00, and at 11:50am.

come on now !!!!
You are just hiding that tag ;)

OK I was also called in sunday morning at 9:18am and again at 11:30am. Thanks to the city #1 tag is hiding :D

lmao!!!!
I hear you...... work is making my tag hide.

where is #2 hiding in Corpus :D:D:D

I know lets go and accept challeges from some rec players....that way we are not considered hiders

I'm holding # 9, and it'll be with me at Victoria Open --- although, I'm going to try and make it to the Rock this Wednesday.

# 11 is up here in DFW. Not hiding, simply semi-retired. :D

now there is a man who wants to bring his tag to play. not like some with all these excuses. I bet you $100 bucks I have put in more hrs this past week than both of you and # 7 was up 2 times more than # 1 nor # 3. :confused:

sorry guys that I could not make it, I was call in to work at 2:15am, 3:45am,5:00am, 7:00, and at 11:50am.



All in the same day? Why didn't you just stay there? A union employee maybe?

I know if i were to get called in that many times i'd be loving it. It's a required minimum of 4 hours of overtime every time i'm called in. In your case, that would have been 20 hours of OVERTIME......... :D

Hero the city pays for time worked I put in a total of 7 1/2 hours that sat. morning. Is there a problem? ;)

Hero the city pays for time worked I put in a total of 7 1/2 hours that sat. morning. Is there a problem? ;)



The problem is....the city should compensate you for the time you are not at home when you are suppossed to be. That compensation should be worth a lot more than "just the time you worked" when you should have been at home sleeping. :D

Sounds like there have been some major changes on the course. Is there a current map? I've played Rivery, but it's been about a year. I'll be passing through this Wednesday and would like to play it again. Is there a place to park. Last time we parked behind Wendy's and walked down the road.

The problem is your not a city of Austin tax payer /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

$100????
careful.....
weekend before last weekend 26 hours on top of my 40
this last weekend 6 hours rivery & 17 hours on bryce's roof for his deck
No map as of yet on Rivery....but its coming

where is #2 hiding in Corpus :D:D:D


-
Yup, Im gonna be in victoria so come get it...
& make sure Efrain brings the 3rd Coast #2

Ware #1,2,and 3 will be at Victoria Where will #? be Ware.

not in victoria. 66 hrs aint #$*&$!

Go past Wendy's for about a 1000ft or so and you'll see a turn off to the right made of a bunch of rocks follow that access road, go downhill and park by the playground.

Thanks for the info. I found a map on the City of Georgetown's website. Is it accurate? Is there a tee box for #3? Any tips for an outsider? :D

# 3 we usually tee off where the sidewalk meets the road that you walk down.

What's the lowdown on the changes? What holes remain?

Getting closer to Texas Doubles, gonna have to drag my sorry &#*%#@[email protected]*@#*^$%^Q out there for practice.

when are you going James, I would like to get out there myself.

You all come out the Saturday after Vic, but forget the bags and bring gloves :D

Played, somewhat, the course yesterday on my way through. A heads-up from someone here about missing baskets would have been great. :confused: If I would have known so many were missing I wouldn't have stopped. From what I remember, the following baskets are missing: 1-3, 13, 16, and 18

Awesome workday yesterday. Steve-o, Jamy, Goblin, Ware2, B, and V put a huge dent in completing.

Sounds like a heads up to me :D,

yup!! they moved 6 baskets , i believe, at the last work day!!

Me and V met with Tony the parks super. today and we can now go back in and finish the rest of the work. We have hole 12 left to clean up and do a little trimming. It will be tighter than originally planned, we are very limited on what we can cut out of there. I have heard the weather won't be all that great, we can't let this stop us. Work starts at 8 with 2 city guys, meet us on the other side of the bridge. NEED MANY, MANY PEOPLE.

The Double R DGC is having a worday this Saturday the 25th at noon not, 8 am as previously posted. So those of you not going to one of the area events, sleep in and please join us for the last push to finish this course before TX States Pro Doubles. We hope to have it done this weekend so it will be playable next weekend, one week before the tournament. Tools needed will be hard rakes and loppers. With your help we will finish Central Texas's newest jewel. CFO's provided.

Directions: 35 S to 261A make U turn at light head south on access road. Turn Right on Rivery dr. Go past Wendy's about 1/4 of a mile. Pop the curb on the right where the asphalt ramp is layed. Go down the hill take a right. Go past pavillion and follow road all the way to the bridge, park and walk down paved trail to first basket on the left.

......thanks, for coming out

Go down the hill take a right. Go past pavillion and follow road all the way to the bridge, park and walk down paved trail to first basket on the left.




Take a left at the bottom of the hill not a right...correct?

@#$%^ yes make a left at the bottom of the hill. More work, now I have to make a sign. You gonna be there Mayo?

No, I have obligations on sat @ 1:30.

Did it rain ya'll out today?

when is the next work day ??

is the course ready to play?

there are 3 holes that still need to be moved. looking for volunteers to help finish this so we can get some practice in before TX states

all 18 baskets are in. -7 seems to be the new course record. Nice round El Chile. There seems to be at leas 1 tee box that is just plain LAME. I think that it is #15 the one that plays to old # 8 basket. :confused: other than that and maybe the one after it the other holes are pretty cool. I think we heard an ace out there on hole # 10 .

That's great to hear.

Thanks and good job to all of you guys and gals who made this happen.

Chris --- is the new flow of the course pretty easy to figure out/follow? Are there tee-signs/markers to let you know you're at the right hole? Is #1 in the same starting place, or has it moved?

Look forward to getting out there and playing the new layout.

YES!! DON UFANCY rang up that uphill hole you love so much that you had that sweet duece on. He threw a coyote and smacked a couple of trees bounced off the big rock and dropped in...that is too cool within 24hrs of the new layout. Nice shot Don.

Thanks Ware! Hey Edman how about some SCORES!!! :Dand still #1 :cool:

no scores needed :D so Don gets the first ace at rivery within 24 hours of the course being open. WOW.


hope this helps.
Rivery map:

Hole 1 is old # 4.
Hole 2 is old # 5.
Hole 3 is old # 6.
Hole 4 is old # 7
# 5 than walk down the road past the gate on your left and to the right will be tee # 5. to get to hole
# 6 Than you will walk around under the bridge to your left. Keep going until you see some flags up on the hill side by the sidewalk. This is a anhyzer past the big trees. Than walk to your left into the woods and the tee for # 7 will be on the right
#7 is straight ahead. Than walk down and to your left a little and you will see #8 tee box.
#8 is a slow curve to your left. Than walk back towards the sidewalk and you should see tee # 9
#9 straight hole than walk back towards the sidewalk again for tee #10
#10 is a straight up hill shot towards the big rocks. (Very cool hole) walk to your right after you play this hole down the path.
#11 is a little short hole back towards the big rocks. Here you will need to go back to the sidewalk and walk a pretty good ways than you will cut back into the woods on your right.
#12 long tight hole you can see the basket on this hole as you cut back into the woods towards the tee box. Than you will walk back out to the sidewalk and follow it back under the bridge and you will see hole # 13.
#13 dog left left by a huge picnic table. Go to your left across the sidewalk and down the little hill towards old # 11.
#14 old # 11�s basket with the tee moved farther back. Than go back to the sidewalk and walk down 30 feet or so and cut into the woods on your right.

thinking about starting the 3rd sunday back up

Thanks Edman, looks like one player shot under par.

dang you have tag # 1 and you are SMART,, Just not very BRIGHT :o

Carefull now Ware you do not want another band from the board. :D

:D;)

anyone playing today???

i am

ware is

call him

the new layout is killer!!

on a side note!! we picked up many beer cans yesterday while playing!! WTF is the deal , why can't people put their #$*&$! cans in the #$*&$! trash??

I remember seeing trash cans out there in the past that were overflowing most of the time. Sometimes they get full and then SNAP we have high winds and it blows all that trash all over the place. For the most part I don't believe it is people out there junking up the course directly. Mother nature helps out too.

true true. but I gurantee you the walkers will see golfers drinking beer anb than we will be the blame for all the cans regardless and than they will tell the city and bam no more course.

What can we do?

I guarantee many of the cans that were picked up yesterday were thrown there!! :confused:

There are ALOT of people who go there and hang out and go camping and party etc...that are not DGer's. Last thing you wanna be doing is blaming it on DGer's. Hell DGer's are the one's that clean it up. I'm sure the Parks people know we are doing our part as a DG community to help keep the park clean.


Maybe Efrain can oversee a cleanup commitee to go out ever so often and do cleanup at all of the Wilco DG courses, do you wanna head that up Efrain?

No need for a committee . I pick up other people's trash when i play. Jeff , the trash trail followed the holes with a couple beer cans every couple holes just off the fairways.There are a lot of casual golfers who could care less and throw their trash where ever they want. You can see displays of this at almost every course around here. I also never said it was disc golfers doing this!! :p

I also never said it was disc golfers doing this!! :p



True, I read it wrong, my fault. Thanks for picking up the trash.

so what did you shoot V?

Congratulations guys on the redesign. I am really looking forward to State Doubles.

do you still park up by Wendy's?

We are meeting at the Rock on saturday right? I haven't polayed rivery so I hope my partner can putt us through. :D

Jay, take a right on the road immediately past wendys then a right a couple hundred yards down. You will turn into the park around where the 3 green enclosures are on the right. The road is a rock road at first then it turns to caliche or something similar.hope that helps a little!!

yes 1st round ast the ROCK

I got some marking paint for Edman, these are the colors available, red, blue, green,white and yellow.

What a great course! Some very unique holes!!

Was the wind a factor today?

fo sho

there are some crazy dips and the wind seemed to be swirly on severl holes. You would think it would not be such a big deal, cause most of the course is secluded...but it came into play quite a bit

was # 1 recaptured??? what you guys shoot

oops I see the signature nice job Josh

Hey Chris how much are RR tags? :confused: I may have to buy one and bring the #1 back to h-town. :D

$10 get with V I am sold out. but you wont be taking it back to H-town it appears the new # 1 wont be playing. Way to go Josh :D marcuse who Lubbock huh :eek: :o

Oh well in that case......Joch I am calling you out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Oh well in that case......Joch I am calling you out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D



I hope you are using JOCH as the vato pronunciation of josh ,not the jock version!! :p :o

I could've called his Jouche. :D

LMAOFF!!!!WINDRIDER turned DRAGON smashed for the #1 TAG WOO HOO WTG Josh!!!

ROUND ROCK!!!

:D

Hey Josh, since Marcus could not give me a rematch are you going to give me a shot at # 1 ?

nice signature Jerry what tag you got? :D

28 :eek:

who has #70?

Marcus :D

:D

Marcus did not even carry #1 for 24 hours. ;)

rivery one mike harrell 0 i hit all the trees for a 59 love the course.

Rivery has a web site.
I am sure it will grow it to something very cool
check it out
http://members.cox.net/disc1golf/

Nice

5 of us from Temple played Rivery today :D:cool: WOW, I have to say i have a new favorite course :cool:

Favorite is hole 10 /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I love the course, I think they should srape the numbers off the baskets, it can get :confused: for first timers.

All things come!
tee signs and number baskets that is......

Re: the website

damm those are some big images. whoever these are, i can reduce them if you want. send me PM

playing today, should be there around 4:20!!

I'm really impressed with the new Rivery layout. The new holes are awesome. The whole course is almost all Roc+Putter but boy will it test your mid-game. Kudos to the people who put the new holes in!

FYI there seems to be some bulldozing going on on that dirt road leading from the paved road that Wendy's is on, to the first hole. I parked up top and walked down.

parking is down past Wendys you will see 3 green boxes on your right and some Rocks where you can jump the curb and drive down the dirt road and park.,

that's what i'm talking about....that dirt road, the part that goes from up top to down below, is all chewed up from bulldozing. Efrain said he barely made it down there in his truck, lol

I made it down there easily.

Of course that was in my Land Rover.

Is the plan to pave that road, or plow it under?

that's what i'm talking about....that dirt road, the part that goes from up top to down below, is all chewed up from bulldozing. Efrain said he barely made it down there in his truck, lol



oh yeah!! that road going down to the park was really tore up yesterday.I had a really rough road down (bottomed out once) and coming back out was even worse.If you have a 4x4 it should not be a problem ;)!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!! gobble gobble gobble
