Went out and tried to play Rivery yesterday........needs a huge amount of work. Walked up to the tee of #1 only to find it under water, as well as the #2 basket!! #3's tee box is gone I think but the basket is playable. Needs alot of mowing. Holes 4-16 are playable but then 17, 18 are ?? I am shocked that nobody up north has not done anything to make is playable?? Sure is a darn shame......oh that man made pond people are talking about is basically a mosquito breeding heaven. I would come out for a work day if I knew that other golfers were interested....

sounds like a good idea Zach when are YOU going to Hold a workday. sounds like GREAT ideas. 17 and 18 are on the same side of the road has # 6 just going the other way.

does anyone have a NEW map of this course?

http://www.centxdglove.com/

click on rivery course. # 17 and 18 are on the same side of the rd has # 6. when you are on # 6 behind you will be # 17 . road and beyond are OB.

Me and Rick S will be starting to throw mini's at Rivery Park in Oct. We will be doing some clearing soon to make it more playable and asking for some volunteer work. I am talking with the city to find out how quick the hike trail will be started. Played out there yesterday and they seem close to start constructing the path.

We are either going to do it on mondays or thursdays. Anyone with interest on playing there please let us know what seems best. Personally I think mondays will be better. Thanks for the response.

Edman, post a work day as early as possible, need time to schedule with Mrs. JAB and the work place. Can't play the mini's, most golf these days is the 12pack 18/27hole drunk fest as time permits. Still, would be willing to put in some weedeater time to make the Rivery playable.

JAB

Monday's works great and I will donate some time to help get the course up to snuff

FIRST WORKDAY AT RIVERY TUESDAY 30TH OCT.,
We will start on hole 1 and work our way through the park one hole at a time. #1 needs serious attention. Could use an x-tra mower and weedeater.

Geno, you out there lurking? Did you get a chance to get those moweres from your buddy?

This is a great course that needs to get back in shape. 90% of all work will be done by golfers. Please help when you can. This will be going on all month.I will keep posting all dates... Thanks for coming out..

Ed, do you mean Tuesday **Sept** 30th, as in tomorrow?

John and I will be there at 5:00. Can we park at the southbound acces road next to the couse?

I'm finding out tonight, we should be able to drive to hole #1 I'll post tomorrow.
You guys rock for helping.

Man there are some tall weeds out there , but those guys are coming DOWN!! I got to play a few holes and from what we we're able to play (sun going away) was really cool, can't wait untill all the work is done and enjoy that sweet course. Edman,Laura,Steve,Shane, and John EEEEEEEE thanks a bunch for putting the work crews together and getting the course in shape!! It's sad to see any discgolf course go down the tubes this one will be revived!!!

This is true. #1 has a tee box now, still alot of work to be done but it was a great start, all 18 are playable, tight but playable. Thanks again for the help.

Edman is now Riverman...and it feels goooood. Workday will be this Sat. the 11th, and we will have our first mini right after we finish working.

I want to personally thank all my brothers at the ROCK for supporting me, esp. V, and others in Austin. I know I can count on you guys to help me whip this course into shape. There is probably one more good day of hard work and the rest is just basic clean-up. We will not do much to the river holes, they will be pulled, not sure when but it will happen.

Minis will start this month. Round Rock/Rivery league sounds inviting. Big plans for this course and the city. See you Sat.@10am..Thanks......for comin out.

Great job Riverman. I will defenitely be ther on Saturday. Where do we park?

I'll have the gate opened on the south bound side of access road drive down to hole 1.

hey, RIVERMAN.
SORRY NO ONE SHOWED UP TO HELP.
HOPE THE TOOLS I BROUGHT HELPED OUT SOME.
i got a couple tuesdays off coming up, maybe we can get in there to clean-up all the stuff you cut down today....

"POST IT AND THEY WILL COME"

Ed, Sorry I couldn't be there Sat morning. The wife is out of town and the kids need to be dealt with. Thanks for the effort. I love playing Rivery. Except this summer, I don't think you and I played all that much!

RIVERMAN & I are going out to do some small clean-up, hauling out somestuff that was cut on the last workday.
think it will be 5 ish,
any lifting help will be most welcome.
with ed's back, it will be mostly me.

5 ish on tuesday

Thanks Metal for getting this thread back up. The course is coming along well. There were a few out during waterloo doing work, most of all the trees have been cut back. Basially we just need to clean the place up and start playing to wear it down. I appreciate all who can come,I'll have the gate open so drive on down.

who's thinks they can make it today??

Homebrew, Iceman and myself are planning on being there.

went to Rivery yesterday for about an hour of cleaning than played a round. THE COURSE LOOKS AWESOME. Still some major work needed on clearing on 17 and some major cutting and clearing on 18 down by the basket. trying to see when would be best for the next work day. Ed, Mike, Rick and his wife are not going to be able to get this done by themselves. so POST on here what day would be a good work day. thanks

When my schedule changes I will be able to put in more time to the course.
Have to say the course WAS awesome and very cart friendly. I wouldn't mind playing tomorrow.

Great day for golf yesterday and the course played nice. Got to see other people out there besides us. I think that #18 is the only hole that really needs some work done. Mainly by the basket. Next week I will be heading out there to do some work on it. If anyone wants to pitch in that would be great.
Riverman, are there going to be any changes to holes along the creek by the challenge course?
Anyone in the Austin League wanna play next week call me at home.837-0411
I think that this is an awesome course and if you haven't played here, you're missing out.

Directions- N-I35 to Georgetown exit 261-A. loop back South on frontage road to first street on right. Turn right. Huge rock that says The Rivery. turn right imidiatley and park side of frontage road. Follow road/path down to hole #1 on right. Course begins under/near overpass. The course is cart friendly.
Have Fun!

i think thursday will be my first day avaliable.
how bout it RIVERMAN??

Thanks, Ed and Laura and Rick and his wife and all the others that helped out (you know who you are /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif), this course is wonderful. Great job.

all 18 holes have been cleaned and cut. there are some tall weeds and limbs but if you are in them you are wrong anyway. hope everyone enjoys the course as much as i do. will be going out on tuesday around 230 if anyone wants to join me.
riverman when are you going out again

riverman...when can we get a singles tourny started out at rivery... i would like to start one on SAT. or SUN. yea yea i know its football season but with the sun going down so soon it is all we got i think. get back at me and let me know... how about this weekend...anyone interested let me know....

played the course yesterday and was on pace for a course record. But instead shot -6 with 1 double boogie on 4 and a boogie on 1. 9 birds. and played the course in 1 hr and 5 mins.

PLEASE DO NOT PARK DOWN THE ROAD. Unless you are down there working. Cops came out on sunday to let everyone that they were getting calls to their office about cars being parked down the hill.

I am going to PROPOSE this type of rotation if this sounds good let me know.

1st sunday = lago vista
2nd sunday = Round Rock
3rd sunday = Temple
4th sunday = Rivery

Rivery kicks *****...good round Ware/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

thanks Distance good luck 2-nite on the ace pot at bart. we splitting right /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Sure...just register me at chain reaction discgolf
LOL

i like the sound of that seewhere... 6 down is great..where did u take the double at.. going out at 11 today and will try to beat that.....edman-riverman u out there...

are these going to be all singles? How bout some dubs afterwards for those who want to stick around?

Richard early wood on hole 4 had to try and throw a side flic roller out of the brush, that went across the fairway so I was able to run at the putt but blew by and missed the 15 footer coming back. nice 5 on a ace run hole.

lago and temple are singles, ROCK and Rivery will be random draw than if people would like DUBS after.

Ware are you proposing that the Double R will be having only one sunday mini at the ROCK a month?The other 3 will be at lago(HCF), temple(TDGA),& rivery(RDG). Sounds awesome. I'm working on a few other things so don't get to crazy with this schedule.

Rick are you still planning on running Thursdays out there? What time?

I am still planning on having 3:00 sunday minis but with all the tourneys coming it will be in Dec.

We already miss 2 sundays with Temple and Lago so I figured what's 1 more. just some ideas, I am sure I will need to talk with Eddie and others this evening. But I think it would help everyone's game improve. at least rotating Round Rock and Rivery.

i would like to do thursdays but i am shure people are working and we would have to start around 430 to finish in time....so just an idea how does saturday afternoon sound...dont want to mess with moodys time unless it would be better to have it in the morning... i am up for anything..if 430 sounds good on thursday lets do it. if i had my way we would have one everyday..some feedback would be nice want as many people as possible.

tara and i went out today and she shot a 5 over and i shot a 3 down with 4 bogies...

the thursday or saturday would be singles. but i need to know if it can be paid out in cash to all divisions since its not a pdga event. if we do it on saturdays a doubles round afterwards sounds great. anyone able to make it this thursday or saturday.

RIVERMAN, I'M OFF TUESDAY&WEDSDAY.

Nice Web site Rick.
I cant wait to get back up there and play a round.
Rob

???? :confused:
THINK FRANK WAS -2
METAL +3
EDMAN +6??

LAURA STOPPED AT DARK

what is the course record out at Rivery? Has the course changed since the construction started last year? Anyone have a course map? :confused:

I think in singles its -7 or 8. . I would play # 2 first as you come down the hill than play # 1 walk down the road until you see where the sidewalk starts tee form there to # 3. than the course is the same. up until you get to # 17 it is across the dirt road both 17 and 18 are on that side. it is not hard to follow.

Hey Martin I found a map sorta what's your email addy and I will send it to you

I shot -9 at Rivery.

-9. Way to go. How's that knee? I absolutely love that course. I can see someone (else most probably) shooting a -9 (or better), but in my limited rounds, I've shot a +2 and a -3 and thought I played decently.

Hey Rick, thanks for the pictures on the website. They just make we want to get sick and go out there. It's interesting how the picture of #1 (or #2) does not do it justice. It looks relatively easy in the picture, but I'd be happy to average 3s on it.

James, thanks for asking. The knee is better but still sore and swollen. No running yet. I am considering pumping up the bike tires. It only hurts on my run-up other than that it doesn't bother me in golf.

-9 should've been -10, i missed a dinker 15 footer for par on my last hole # 2.

-9 very nice...that busts my bubble of thinking i had it with a -7...well just have to practice a little more....the doubles record for the course is -11 but i dont know who it was though.

anyone up for a round today...let me know

hey Rick other aces I have seen are # 4 by Mark Smith, and # 7 by Jeff Jones. and they say Shanon Nintzel aced # 15 during the TX 10.

thanks for the info.. and any other info u might have for me to put on the site..... went to rivery today and played with jimmy and his fater in law they loved the course. stayed around for a 2nd round and shot -6 with one boggie. it was kinda chilli out.

random dubs sat 2pm. beer and food. bring what u want

RIVERMAN: they took friday away, but i got it back.
i'm close/open,close/open. going to kill me. i do have friday off now.

btw:i'm not going to make turkey classic, will discuss later.

Rick,
You mentioned a web site about Rivery. Do you have a links page yet? Let's swap links :) J Peacock

http://riveryparkdgc.tripod.com/rpdgc

found it uplink.

Saw a lady yesterday taking pictures of each hole and writing down the distances and Hole #'s? is there going to be an official course map made? :confused:

Great round

SLAYER,SLAYER,SLAYER,SLAYER.... THIS ONE IS FOR ALL THE LITTLE C**Ts THAT LIKE TO SPREAD THEIR LEGS..... CAPTURE OF SIN :cool:

So, how's this course looking? Edman was supposed to come out to the Lago mini last time and talk to me about something that I assumed had to do with Rivery. Haven't heard from him, but I have heard that this place is more playable than ever thanks to all the hard work put in out there.

the course is in great shape. thanks for askin. this saturday 2pm we are meeting again for a mini. all welcome to come. last week was great had alot of fun. see you there :cool:

hearing Rumors of maybe a round in the works for this afternoon!! not sure yet but will re-post if this is for sure.

take new plastic with you to play today. been in huricanes less windy. i'm talking thirty foot layups. i'm not kidding.

Getting soft there Larry. :) This is Round Rock weather.

i know. i once saw gene throw a shot back toward old #5, 50 ft away in this kind of wind. it landed on it's side, rolled around the backet, and headed back toward him. when it went by him it was really picking up speed, 800 ft later it went in the water about pin high old hole #7(original course) took everyone awhile to finish laughing about that one.
never said windy golf wasn't fun.

I'm envisioning that scene. Did y'all clap when it finally came to rest in the water? :)

Now that I think about, in the old days, you would have to go down to the lake and throw from OB, but nowadays, you can just retee. Hell after 600 feet of rolling, I'd probably be rooting for it to go OB.

Hell after 600 feet of rolling, I'd probably be rooting for it to go OB.




NO DOUBT!!!

Thats some crazy stuff!

it was 800ft. picture this in your mind. you have to throw back up hill into a 25mph head wind and you're lying 5 o.b. by the time you've made a snowman. you're still looking at a 50ft approach. it was so funny we were crying. except gene.

wife and i are going to rivery today anyone up for a round or 2. we will be down there from 1 till dark. great day for golf

ED!!!!
How about a singles mini at Rivery(Sunday) tee off around 2:30-3:00?

Talked to ed and Rivery is a go for Sundays (start 2:30)
Ed is going to get the logistic together with Rick. So lets get it on.
We can call it THE WILL CO. MINI DAY.
I will work on a lunch sponsor. So that we play at the ROCK enjoy a discounted sponsor lunch then off to the Rivery.

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME

singles sunday at 230 what time are you starting out at roundrock.

Is singles by Division? ie. do AMS get plastic?

Rick go to the RR thread for RR INFO!!

:D

9:40 sign -up 10:00 tee Random draw

think it's 10:00
at least the last time i made it out.

WHO'S GOING TO MAKE IT???

I WILL

I woudl have to say playing 3 and 18 in the long makes Rivery a whole lot tougher. and if the wind is blowing look out. But still a fun round. got to see Vinnie make a shot on 17 from just past the cacti around the corner off the bush in the basket nice 2.

thanks for not mentioning my score

Played and I will play it again next Sunday. Tplace looks way different than the last time I was there. With riverman and all the river gang. THIS WILL BE A GREAT COURSE. Something needs to happen with a few holes. I suggest leave the long boxes on #3&amp; #18, change hole 2 into 1, take hole 1 out and make a new hole around the lake as hole 2. Take #16 out and make a hole between #15 &amp; #17 with less walk.
Riverman we should talk. And we will this Sunday.

Vinnie, Vinnie, Vinnie. Please do not take out either 1 or 2. Those holes are both AWESOME. The whole freakin course is AWESOME. A lake hole would also be AWESOME, but not at the expense of 1 or 2. Please please please, not hole #1 or #2.

I guess you have never played the long #3, The walk from hole 2 to hole 3 is WAY to long of a walk and the walk from basket 16 to #17 is WAY too long. Old people always bucking change. Collect your SS check and shut your mouth. :o

HEY, HEY

Where is long three? I played it from an unmarked area near the path. It was not a long walk from what I assume is 2's basket. If my assumed #2 is really #1, then I agree that is a long walk, but just change the numbers and it's a short walk.

Also, the walk to 17 is nothing compared to some of the walks I had this weekend. :)

cause you had to make long walks before makes it ok?
FLOW OF COURSE!!!!
Lets do this play #2 at Zilker, walk to peace play hole 3,walk to bart play hole 3, and so on and we would of played a great course with NO FLOW.
I playin wit you

cause you had to make long walks before makes it ok?



I hear what you are saying, but in general (not referring to any hole we are discussing) if the choice is between a long walk and a great hole and a short walk and a crappy hole, this old man will walk.

How about #2 becomes 1, #1 becomes hole 2, then add a tee box on the side of the pond where baskets 1 and 2 are located, maybe something that puts the water into play?

I agree that the distance from 2 to 3 and 16 to 17 are long, but I also would not want to lose holes 1 and 2(how ever they are re-numbered or played). Just an opinion.

i've heard a couple "in theory" holes, that will help the flow alot.
the changes planned by the city, for down by the river will cause some major rethinking of the course.

??? :confused: :confused:

if you play hole 2 as 1 and 1 as 2 it is not a long walk to 3 at all. i say leave 1 and 2 because they are 2 of the more difficult holes on the course.

see you guys on sun. without the wind

WHO'S PLAYING IN THE AM??

rick or edman,
i left my green xs on 18,
it's loooong, past the left turn(rails).

I'VE REPLACED IT ALREADY,
BUT THE GREEN ELITE X X-S WILL BE MISSED :(

edman,
i got thte T-clouds job.

cool beans Metal, T-cloud what's there moto? Normal name, serious sauce?
Everybody lurking out there needs to attend the Lago mini sunday morning and then get your butts to the Rivery for an afternoon round. We will go at 3 not 2:30 so everybody gets plenty of time to eat and get there. Will decide this week on a permanent time. It will be on Sundays, and on the 3rd Sunday of the month we will be doing the WilCo Sunday. Morning round of dubs at the ROCK and afternoon singles at the RIVERY. Still shaking loose minor details, but you won't want to miss this. Working on lunch sponser and charity work. Please stayed tuned for more details very soon.

FAST,FRESH, AND HEALTHY......

"KEEP AUSTIN WIERD" IS THE WAY OF LIFE FOR ME :cool:

congratulations metal! do they have bottled water? :)

thundercloud subs, when its got to be real.

you want me to sing the jingle too? :)

NO WATER, :(

WILL SEE WHAT'S INVOLED IN THE "CLOUDBURST"
(the SUPER sized sub)

"the CLOUDBURST" is
$12.00 a foot, 3 ft minumim.
3 ft is for 15-20 people
36 hours notice needed.

that straight up prices,
still not sure what kind of deal i can work out.
the first few might need to be straight up to start the hoook-up process????
just thinking outloud for now

hearing about maybe dukes bbq hook-up coming soon??
that sounds like a REALLY GOOD THING.(future sponsorship for the BIGGIE's)

wish i could make it out this weekend,
will plann for the WILL CO. WEEKEND
on the 3rd SUNDAY of the month.

FYI: ROUND ROCK DOUBLES in the morning,
lunch at DUKE'S (support the sponsors)
singles @ RIVERY

FUN FILLED DAY FOR ALL :cool:

HOW'D EVERYONE DO SUNDAY???

edman, gimme a call so we can actually get a chance to talk about these monthly minis. since we never seem to get a chance to visit when we actually see each other. :)

We ended up playing random dubs.
Vinnie/McCaine and Hubbard/Olse tied at 7 down and split
Edman/Rick J missed it by 1 at 6 down(we gave em a run)
only 11 players made it out and we threw off the ace pot

This sunday coming up Frank Hubbard is doing a food drive mini tourney for a local charity. I will be unable to attend(sisters graduation) and he could really use as much support as possible. He will be doing this once a month and it is set up for the 2nd sunday of the month at 10:30 am. I know there is alot of minis planned throughout the cities but if you have a chance please come out and support this for a great cause. I will get more details from pip tonight and post them tomorrow.

Also please keep a look-out for a used riding mower for NSGC in Lago. Let's find Jon one first and then start hunting one down for the Rivery. Big plans next year for the JUNGLE. I will post more details tomorrow for the food drive. edman gone

edman, since the closest course to rivery, other than the rock of course, is burnet, let's talk about scheduling some that will coincide with the monthlies i want to start doing here.

i was originally thinking 3rd sundays, but that's out with that being the scheduled day for wilco sundays at the rock and the rivery.

i want to get something going out here fairly soon, but i don't want to step on anyone's lie. :)

Let's do it Martyr, people don't need toes to walk or golf, just stumps, so screw em. :)

well, that is one way to look at it. :)

gimme a call and we'll work something out.

as far as the 21st,
i've got the am off, but won't be able to do the rivery stop of the WILCO WEEKEND.
see ya at the rock

Martin is at rivery playnig golf if anyone wants to meet him out there

Just letting the people who care know that tara an i are alive we just fell of the face of the earth for a month. Had a great time today at rivery. Great to see so many people out there.
The RPDGC website is back and updated as much as it can be. still need some scores though.

PEACE

Rick,
What is the web link to RPDGC. NSDG has a good links page and I would like to trade links.
Gotta support the local disc community. :DJP

Iceman ACES # 5 today .... whatg a shot :D But I still skinned his ARSE -5 for me..than went to circle c and got 14 more skins hee heee :p

What a BUNCH of Horse CHIT! Who moved # 9 tee rope back to take out the thumber? I have a pretty good idea But would like to hear who moved it. It is kinda FUNNY how when certain shots some can throw and OTHERS can't that the hole changes what a bunch of PU$$ies..

Agreed.....I have seen a similar thing happen before, just becasue some puss has a screwed up shoulder, and cant throw an overhand shot......

I not sure which one is # 9, but I have my suspicions also.

ps. I hate those wussie shots, :) but I did argue with "someone" (who kicked my butt all over that course by the way) very recently that it was OK to leave some boxes to allow those shots, but of course I lost that argument. Imagine what "someone" hates those shots more than me? Who could that be?

However, as a defense to that "someone", it may not have been them because although they are constantly talking about changing that course, I don't think they have done it yet. Confused? I bet not.

how did you do Sunday at Rivery James? I shot -5 there yesterday around noon.

# 9 is dog leg left at the end than back right around the bush that stops all the straight shots. I think that bush should be cleaned up. and NO I am not confused. :eek:

I shot +14. Woohoo!!!!! On that hole, I don't think (or really know) that "someone" was responsible.

:eek: :o+14 :D:D

What is course par out there anyways? I was shooting an even back nine (good for me) before i got to the long box at 18. I've 2ed that hole a couple of times from the (now) short box but shooting from the longs left me with a 6. Thats a good example of changing the box position. I dont see the point in moving the box back 10-20 feet on nine. It really doesn't make the hole that much harder.

#9 HAS(D) A TOMMAHAWKE????
I MUST BE THINKING OF ANOTHER HOLE........
NO THATS THE ONE,


GET OVER IT BEEEEEATCH!

Metal name the time and place when you want me to hand you your arse in a ROUND of golf!!! :eek:.

HE11, I can barely keep from gettting that dam RED ROCK, muchless give it away.

where ya playing this weekend,

pease in the am??
DUB R on sunday?

and exactly who would that puss be, my friend? :)

remember when you and gimp forbid me from ever throwing an overhand shot because you didn't like the whining and wincing that accompanied them? it took me two years after that day at par 72 to be able to throw that shot again. **** that hurt! :)

RIVERMAN(ED),
HOW'S THE COURSE LOOKING???????????//

Rivery Mini at 2:30 Sun. $50 ace pot and some ctp's. No excuses the cowpokes are out of the playoffs. I think they are scrimmaging against the longhorns though.

well?
I wish I could of made it, I had the the house alone for the first time in years.And just could not pass up chillin at the house.

scores? :D

We had 20 players show up yesterday, great turnout. 11ams/rec all one division best score +3
4 masters best score +7
3 adv/pro all one division best score +5 UGLEEE
2 women best +14

Thanks to all the Temple players who made it down really alot of fun playing with guys up there and at the Rivery. Ace pot jumped to $70 yesterday. WW3(wilco weekend 3rd sun) need to talk with you Chris and V about that rolling ace pot. Do you guys use the normal sun ace pot for that weekend? V I'll be hearing from GPD today.

Always great to come down and get as much punishment as that course knows I deserve.

WELL, WHO WAS THE BAGGER SHOOTING +3 IN AM'S???

I played in his group and his first name was Josh. Don't know his last name but he did say he was from Round Rock. He told me his best round out at Rivery was a 3 under. We were pretty even through the first nine and I thought maybe I could hang but he made some great shots in the woods. I ended up with a personal best 61 which tied me for fourth.

Sounds like Josh Nix to me......tall skinny guy? Former Hippy, and Skinhead, havent seen himlately to know the current doo...... Dischippie on the baord, even......

It wasn't Josh Nix, he just had a good round. The Rivery is the equalizer. Big arms and little arms are eqaul out there. If you can throw straight with a fade either way at the end 4-10ft off the ground you will shoot lights out there. :D

Ahhh.....i didnt know how many Josh's you guys have playing the ROCK regularly....

I havent played Rivery, since the FIRST TX 10 there....

lots of changes out there, Cong. You should try to play earlier Saturday, if you have the time.

This guy Josh was killing the course with a tomahawk (overhand thumber). Even on some of those holes in the back.

And there you go a tommyhawk!

HMM maybe I need to relook at those tee pads. :D

We'll fix that tomy problem on the next work day. Cong if you come in town call me. Tasker lets do a little north vs. south and bring that "rock" with you. BTW nice shooting at LOIB.

what's there to FIX?? just LEARN TO THROW THEM Don't PUNISH the people that DO. that is TOTAL CRAP

lets make all the holes either Rollers or 450 ft HYZERS. you need to work on all types of shots. changing holes to prevent certain shots (that you can't throw) is BULLSH*T just my 2 cents.

Bro....dying to get up your way, and get some golf in with ya!!

The "little princess" cuts into my golf time unbelievably....

Ill be at Live Oak this weekend, if you are going down!

Hopefully this summer, i will be able to come up that way for some recreational golf!

Easy big arm I was just *#@&ing with you. I wish I could learn that shot but there is so much more to practice. There's no practicing the tommy either you got it or you don't. 450 ft.hyzer coming up.

LOL.....i LOVE the Thumber/Tomahawk....I only with i could throw it more than 250'.....same for a big hyzer.....

I need to move to THE ROCK, so i can get my drives over 350'....

One or two hole tommys are fine! Its when every or every other hole is a tommy is horseshirt. That would be like a course haveing a righty hyzer for every hole.
BALANCE!

I think that is all that is out there anyways. was hole 9, 12 now just 12. unless Josh knows secret squirrel route have not seen.

Yes Cong if you want to learn to throw far you need to move to the ROCK.

check out Daniel Stacy he started at the ROCK!!!

Danny learned to play at the Rock? This must have been during my "retirement" period. The poor guy had to move back to Oklahoma. :)

Where is he? Why doesn't he post anymore?

yes he was stationed at Ft Hood and would come down on Sundays. I think he is too busy gettting better than to waste time on this DISCussion BORED! :D

****, didn't know this tomahawk thing was such an issue. I would have to say yes, this Josh guy did hit some secret squirrel routes with the tommy in the back a couple of times. He just knew how to throw it through some of the small holes and make it turn back into the fairway close enough to make putts at the basket. He wasn't all tommys though. He did make some good backhand drives.

Yes, that practicing is showing. He's a **** good golfer.

Hey, I'm rarely on this thing unless I'm "at work."

me 2.

The TOMMY is only an issue with the people who can't throw them :eek:

Its not an issue to me. I don't know a tommy thrower that has beat me with a tommy :eek:

beacuse you are the PUTTMASTER!!!!!

Yeah, the rest of your game isnt bad either..... :D

We'll fix that tomy problem on the next work day. Cong if you come in town call me. Tasker lets do a little north vs. south and bring that "rock" with you. BTW nice shooting at LOIB.



You going to Live Oak Sunday? Call me if you are and maybe we can carpool. I would bring <font color="red">The Red Rock </font> but Hicks has had it since before Christmas. Hicks didn't have <font color="red"> The Red Rock</font> once last year.

:o:ohappy new year, buddy!! :D:D

:eek:

the word few!
don't stop trying to throw them and it will always be a few.

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

:confused: :confused: huh?? :D

"at work"

yeah. I was "at work" all day yesterday too. ;) :D

Anyone not playing out of town this weekend don't forget about the Wilco Weekend 3rd Sunday. Random Doubles at the Rock at 10 followed by divisional singles at the Rivery at 2:30. Good luck wherever you play. :cool:

I TAKE IT....
RAIN OR SHINE

HAVE FUN

I played Rivery today. It looked the best I've ever seen. The recent trim job looks fantastic. :) No water to worry about except one and two. :mad: My favorite holes. What time manana?

manana is the ROCK at 10:00 and rivery 2:30 get your game on for TEXAS STATES

SO how did it go?

Light turnout for both the Rock and the Rivery. Brutal winds at both places and it got colder down in the hole. We had 4.5 teams at the Rock and 9 at the Rivery. No ace hit yet sundays ace at the Rivery $78 and a nice Course fund building. First $ goes to double chains on all baskets, before state dubs hopefully. Kicking around a clean-up this weekend for both the Rock and the Rivery.

Edman let me know more info on the clean up. and on inner chains we can get a good deal from Mr May. and BMC west. so talk to him.

Sweet< I'll talk to Keith on Wed. Do you know if he can get hot dipped? Didn't know what was planned for this weekend so I haven't made any announcements yet. Are there any tourneys this weekend?

anyone playing Rivery today? What time? I will be leaving work around 12:30 or so.

no tournies tha I know of. not sure if they are dipped or not, They will be like the ones on the practice basket at the ROCK!

possible round at rivery at 3:30 today.

anyone want to play today ??

nice turn out at rivery . 13 OPEN players with 5 ADV. had my sights on that course record but could not hit all my putts. course looked good even after the rains we got.

Who won and how much did they win by? :D

Come to Gonzales and play mini 31 Jan. Tee Time 9:30 put on by Brian Come One Come All :cool:

Yeah Ware nice round -5. Course played very well. I like that long tee on 18, cool shot. Is there anything that can get done with the tee signs. They are in the way, not that it affected my round or anything but I would hate to hear about someone smacking their hand on one.

thanks. as for tee signs we will need to talk to ED. we need to have a work day out there sure was alot of trash that could be picked up.

What is the course record out there?

singles with this layout is -7

I forgot to ask if the par was 54 out there. So is it?

We do have plans on moving the signs in fact I have a meeting with parks dept this month on some projects. Thanks to all who made it out, great fun all day.

yes par 54. shot 60 today in a brutal wind.. smokin gets the first 12 out of 13 skins than I get the next 5 to make it respectful :D Joe shoots 56 hole # 1has his #..

thinking of playing Rivery from 4-6 today prior to going to Shana's Services. :( anyone up for a round?

I thought Shana's services were Thurs. the 29th.

My bad I read the e-mail wrong, see you tonight.

nope tonight at 7:00 go to Rock thread for details.,

well got another round in at rivery what a nice quiet round of golf. well if I could get Kreke to quit yapping the whole round .. :D

Don't you Bozo's have to work anymore? :confused:

work till 4 than played a round than headed over to Shana's funeral services. very sad but nice service. :(

HEY SEEHORSE,

THAT WHAT I USUALLY HEAR,
GLAD TO KNOW IT'S JUST NOT ME /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif ;) :D

THANX KREKE

:D:p

HEY SEEHORSE,

THAT WHAT I USUALLY HEAR,
GLAD TO KNOW IT'S JUST NOT ME /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif ;) :D

THANX KREKE



yeah..but I don't think Kreke uses such good catch phrases like, "FOCKER!!" and "SKULL ORIFICE!"

Ok all Central Texas golfers!
Here is your chance to give back to golf.
Rivery needs a little work. Edman and myself will be installing some benchs and could use some help cleaning up.
So come one come all, we will be starting at 11:00am.
No excuses!! Both of us and the others that will be there have done for others and are interested in whom will help us.

what day?

My bad good catch!
SATURDAY

don't forget Zilker Ice bowl this Sat so turn out might be low.

yea, also don't forget a little thing in Arlington, you wimps. Hey Vinnie, will you please clear that brush out on 17 for me. :)

After you clear the brush out for James, could you move the tee signs back. :D

You guys need to plan these work days a little earlier, I've got plans this week-end otherwise I would be glad to help.

So James will be running a crew on hole 17 clearing brush. :D#4 needs some TLC as well, who's in?

We should not have to plan a workday, people should just do something when they go out.

McCaine, you going to Veteran's? Looking to share a ride for this weekend.

Could you stand to be in a car with me singing ROCKY TOP at the top of my lungs for 3hrs? Let me know. I wanna go and have never played the Vet.

FRIDAY!

This is quickly turning into a "tighter beast"
The course is looking very nice.
I challenge anyone out there to do a little work on a least one hole you play.

and I also challenge anyone to pick up trash during their round.

I may head out there today, to play a round?
Anyone?

what time?

CALL me

can't make it today . got to go to dinner to celebrate the wifes new job. :D

Lets set a time for Thursday say 3:00 and possible play 2 rounds if time permits.

hey ed, you out there? i have the brackets for the benches in my truck. i'll bring them to the rock today if it's not pouring.

Played the rivery and what a pleasure it was.
(-2 with 4 BOGGIES)
Saw a chili
wall looks like it was added to.
And I could not help myself made a wall on basket 4's green

Saw a chili

And I could not help myself made a wall on basket 4's green



Huh?

If you played the course or even better, work on the course, or was involved in the club
YOU WOULD KNOW! :D:D

Hey, are you saying +14 or +18 or whatever it was, is not playing the course?

Ed, Chris, help me out. What is Vinnie talking about?

Oh and by the way, I hope everyone sees the irony in the fact that Vinnie is a "thumber king." :D

EVERYONE needs to quit bring that up :p

:D So el chile was out there sneaking in some practice? sounds like there might be a wall behind # 4,s basket??

#4 is the one with the tight opening and the fence line, where if you make into the opening, Vinnie says "you're in the house" Right. If so, why would you put a wall behind the basket? Kick the hot shots out the back door, they don't belong in the house anyway. :p

James that's #5. As far as helping with what V was talking about your on your own. I don't like feeding gun powder to a pit bull. :D
I meet with the parks dept on friday for some last minute requests before TSD. I will try to get the tee signs moved saturday, so if anyone wants to help that would be great. A cordless sawzall would be awesome.

in the house is my term. you want to make it through the front door and hit the frig which is the basket.

Thanks Ed, now I am confused as to where a wall on #4 would be.

So Chris, when you hit the hole, graze the basket, and fly out the back, does that mean "Chris was in the house, grabbed his beer from the fridge and is now out drinking on the back porch."

yes sir James now you got it..

Thats how he does it at his house.
:D
I made a mistake the new wall is on the green of #5

so who wants to play this afternoon?? sun will be out and suppose to be 65 :D

MAYBE!
Let me see

tee off at 3:30 -3:38 today if anyone wants to play

I predict that Vinnie hits a wall on #5.

James shoot your donkey :D
James how about some texas holdem on victoria weekend?

Yea, I'll do that. Hell, I'll just pick high cards for money like me and JD used to do after the poker game; just to insure one of us went home broke.

Ed man,
I have added a link to riveryparkdgc.tripod.com/rpdgc/index.html from the NSDG web sites links page. The more linking between DG web sites the better. :cool:JP

ICEMAN!!
I know you are off meet us out there

to help clear things up the wall is on # 6. :D

Edman big branch fell near basket #15 ( A chain saw will clear that, maybe the city can do this.
Inquiring minds want to know about workday this Saturday. Can you give details and they will come

Are you guys speaking of the limb that has been down for a while now or has a new one fallen?
I had to cancel my meeting this morning with parks dept(Tony) he had a supervisor out and had to fill in for him. He assured me by wed-thur next week he would haul out all debris. I doubt they will have time to do anything else so if that limb is in the way we should take care of it Sat. All I need for the benches is the bolts and I will get them tonight. I can't commit to a time tomorrow right now, work is killing me. It will probably be around 2-3.

It was a branch that was already broke, but hanging in the tree. It feel some more making it very dangerous. So Paul Bunuon Ware helped it to the ground. It is not in the way of the basket but it will make for some tough putting. This branch is atleast big around as a basket ball. My chaisaw is not working. But if someone can cut it up I will gladly haul off the Liveoak firewood.If we can get it cut up please make it firplace size :D" you know easy to haul off"
