the natives are getting restless. me thinks thou doth protest too much (apologies to Willie Shakes)

I just got a call from our estemmed sponsor Tom McCutcheon. He is at the host hotel and heading to the course. You locals be nice to him and show him the correct holes.

Out of the 33 players in MA3 showing registered at this time, the highest PDGA ranking amongst them is a 843 for Jan Baumgardner. The majority are not even PDGA members.

Guess you could check the other thread about bumping up locals players who don't have rankings yet, but consistently place in the top in their division.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone has a room that needs a room mate? I can't find anyone to carpool with down there, may be I can justify putting over 500 miles on the car if I can at least find a roommate.
Don's running a workday at Veteran's Saturday (and he's still playing gimp with his right elbow out) so he won't be coming with me.
I have heard so many great things about Live Oak and really want to attend.
Anybody got space???

I do know that several of the players in Rec are brand new and have only been playing a month or two. We have 2 ladies and 3 Rec men playing that work at Outback Steakhouse.

By the end of Saturday I am sure all your sandbagging questions will be answered.

Looks like the Pro's will be the ones to signup last again. Who wants a 4am wake up call with me on Saturday morning? :eek:

we playing #4 as an island hole again?

all concrete and beyond OB?

Laura, try emailing Danielle for a place to stay. She lives next the the course. Also Mark and Ginger Bowman are staying at the host hotel. I don't have her phone number sorry.
I will make sure you have a spot in the tournament Laura so come on down. I know you will like the course.

Hey Here's Duhhhhh, I looked up your PDGA tourney stats and your stats from the ZLT10's. Funny thing, there weren't any. Even Funnier, they have you listed as an M10.

So when, exactly, have you beaten me? GDS? I think not. If being able to beat me is the only thing you're hanging your hat on, I would definitely recommend that you remain in Rec. Even on your home course.

And while we're at it, the only thing you will ever beat me at is being the first between the two of us to collect social security.

Not this weekend. LOL.

2 for 6 in cashing so far this year. Not too great but oh well. Gotta get used to it.

But nobody will beat me at pool! Does beating all comers last time make me World Champion? I would love to give some more beatings to everyone but I would rather hang with the Hooters girls :o

Time to get back to working on the trailer...I have a lot of stock to sort out. Something for everyone this weekend.

so whats the word on the ISLAND HOLE

sure..but you are really going to have to shank some sanctioned tournies to get that ranking back down :D

Maybe you could throw the Roc/Stingray for a whole tourney and that might do it - LMAO

Do the Hooter girls shoot pool ?
And you just got lucky there Chris. Pluse we were wasted.
You only beat me by 7 balls. :mad:

Rematch?

I do remember someone beating you, but giving you a break :D

I'm not playing pool. The last time I tried to do well at something after beating Vinnie in it, I took my lumps. After beating him in Athens in pool, I better lay off that for a while. :)

will you clowns quit stepping on my question

clowns?? I think we have a pot and kettle situation on your hands!!!

Okay, everyone stop posting until C-dubs question gets answered.

Ok I will stop. ... now

Okay, everyone stop posting until C-dubs question gets answered.



also what about all concrete and beyond OB or not?

Why? Are you playing the tournament tonight? :)

Yeah give me back that Stingray and I will see you in 3 months.

LMAO - I'll raise you one and give you a shark, stingray and a marauder. But you have to putt with a Zephyr :D

What will be the format for double's fri?
I am not sure if this has been asked, if it has please disregard!
thx...

Adam, get down to Live Oak. And if not Live Oak, get thee to Wimberley in 3 weeks.

There are courses south of Waco... :D

HEY!!! No more posting until Seewhere's question is answered! :mad:

Heaven forbid you step on his question or something... :p

I would like to apologize to Ware for posting before his question was answered.

What was his question again? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Adam, get down to Live Oak. And if not Live Oak, get thee to Wimberley in 3 weeks.

There are courses south of Waco... :D



Won't be this weekend, but maybe some of the others...I am debating the Temple tourney next weekend vs. Mace's Food Drive on the same weekend. I have not played Temple or Flag pole hill, so the coin shall flip.

One weekend I am just going to have to come down and visit you and Kat and play as many courses as I can. I would like to shoot Moffit with Father Dave also. Looking forward to meeting Father Johnson's counterpart.

How did Kats' testing go? Is it over?

and now back to the unanswered question - whatever it was

Back in the late 90's when I was promoting mountain bike racing at Fort Hood Lance just showed up! No one knew he was coming at all. He entered the Pro division and blew away every top Texas racer! He flew through the 10 mile loop of singletrack, fire roads, and steep climbs liked greased lightning. He donated his cash winnings to a charity on Fort Hood for children with cancer. THE MAN KNOWS SPORT and would probably be great at any sport he chose.
I wonder if he will start playing some disc tournaments?
Joey

Lance is the man!

All you tough guys out there prepare for a little tear in your eye on Saturday morning.

I heard a rumor someone had a question...???

No Island hole this year, that is so yesterday :D

All Pro and Adv divisions (inc ladies) will play ALL cement OB. That includes all culverts and the area around 16.

All Int and Rec divisions will not play cement OB.

Only the Rec ladies will not shoot across the lake on Hole A (after Hole 2). You Rec Men the time of recogning is here.

Doubles format will be the usual. Pick your own loser (I mean partner) and enter or bag in what ever division you want. $10 per player. Cash to Pro's, merchandise of choice to Am's.

I have to stop double signups around 5:30pm or so as I said last night. I have a very important job to help with.

I have to run over to Hooters and Outback arouund 4pm for a little while if someone could watch the Thunder for me. I'll bring you a wing back.

Back to work...

Thanks
Chris

thanks for the info Chris.

as for the rest of you *** clowns I will see you sat.

Hey guys and gals, if you ever have a chance to play a round with Tom McCutcheon, take it. Not only does he do a he11 of a lot for disc golf, he is a he11 of a guy to play golf with. Thanks for the mini round we played today Tom.

I had my 5 minutes with Tom, Joe Rotan (my doubles partner and sponsor of the TX10 Tour, McGough and a few others and was more than impressed. You don't become self supporting by being a dumb*&^...Tom is a class act and I haven't heard anything but positives from other players that have had the opportunity..Glad you got to witness disc golf class in action

Okay, here's the dealio. So far, there are only two Advanced Masters signed up for one of the best ZLT10's going every year. This is a crying, kicking and screaming shame!

Larry Thompson has moved on up to Advanced (Almost there Larry, one more little step to Pro Masters and you'll be where you should be).

Its just me and Jack Tabor as of right now. We may, of course have some late sign ups (you guys know how Chris loves those, right?), but y'all are worrying me here. You don't want me to take 2nd by default do you?

I have sent an email out to the OMB's that I have email addy's for (except you Gary, you can't play, you're hurt), and I'm trying to shake the trees and see what fossils fall out of them.

C'mon, this is one of the most well maintained and best city supported courses in Texas. He11, its even cart friendly for us old farts!

Get off your dusty old arses and sign up and get down to Live Oak, or I'll be forced to cash, and you'll have to listen to me talk about it forever!

I am glad you agree with me Adam. Now as for you, well I will leave that one alone, had my time with you at WF :Dyou know I am kidding. If you can't make it to SA for ZT10 I hope to see you in Temple.

If any of you guys wants to see what sport a real man plays (besides disc golf) then turn to Channel 613 on Direct TV.

AUSSIE RULES...where men are men and we don't let Kiwi's play. :cool:

Yes, Tom is one of the best people in DG period.

footy, I will leave that one alone!!!

Adam, you left off that I played Open in the Winter Warm-up non-sanctioned event in Burnet and Advanced in an early Texas 10 (pre-Ziggy). All that's left is Pro Master. :D

Unless the ladies would allow me to play with them. Wait, that didn't sound right. Well, you know...

I am over at the Steel's house and we are about to take a POON TANG shot!!!! Woo hoo!

Tell Kendall to get his arse to Live Oak, dammit! I want my $5! He was too scared to play me off for it in Athens, barely escaping with his Lincoln intact, but that sucka's mine and I want it!

Kendall has drill. No Live Oak for him.

Anyone know what a Poon Tang shot is?

No, but I like the name.

2/3 can of Red Bull in a glass. Shot of Vodka (Vox is best).

Drop the shot glass in and CHUG!!!!!!!!!! It is good. :p

Try 2 shots and a can of Monster. :)

I don't know about here but in Thailand (that's a foreign country) the words Poon Tang mean something a little different to what you guys are thinking. Not something I will explain here.

See how multi-lingual I am. Australian, English, Canadian, Kiwi, Japanese...and some Texan :)

I think that the drink was a joke on the real meaning. It has a similar effect. LOL!!!!

I don't like that Monster stuff. Tastes like bubble gum to me.

Tastes way better than...oops. Nevermind. :)

We love Red Bull and all our sponsors! :D

Well, you have 2 conflicting effects:

Caffeine: stimulant
Alcohol: depressant

So, it excites you while also being quite relaxing. Do you get the analogy? :D

Uh, its been awhile, but I think so. :)

LOL! It doesn't matter how long it has been. It shouldn't be something that you forget.

Pour a monster into a cup and see what it looks like...that is why it isn't packaged in a clear container...I'll stick with the BULL

Okay back on track here...

Speaking of Red Bull. They will be at Live Oak "energizing the players" as they say.

I will be leaving here around 10:30am so if anyone has any final questions please let me know now.

I will say this one last time as usual.

It is not full until I say it is. I will be accepting entries this afternoon at doubles from 2-5:30pm then from 6-7:30am in the morning. Even if we are not full please do not expect to walk up after 8am and play.

Players meeeting is at 8:30am.

Thanks
Chris

Chris, you've got mail.

Thanks Brian the reply is on the way.

I am still hopefull that the rain will perform a slow down and not hit us tomorrow. If not I have umbrellas for sale :(

Be positive is what I always say.

Try an "Oh Baby" Thats 3/4 can RedBull drop a shot of Bacardi O in the glass and chug. Way better than Red Bull and vodka,,,, guaranteed! Enjoy!!

Starting to look like I'll be playing Advanced.

Starting to look like I'll be playing Advanced.


Shouldn't trying be somewhere in this statement??? :eek:

Awesome :D

agreed.

kind of funny, thought there was going to be a ruling for people who constant play in the same division for years and years.(talking about locals in the Rec here). Maybe at the conclusion we can have a move up vote.

I would vote for you first Brian!! :D

Fine, you old farts don't wanna play. I've had Chris move me to Advanced. :)

Should be fun. :D

Playing Int hero, where i have played the last 2 plus year (if only someone could find my short game). And James what is the fascination with Cher? Find it strangely sick. You going out there today. I will be there around 2pm

Fine, you old farts don't wanna play. I've had Chris move me to Advanced. :)

Should be fun. :D



Chris, you might wanna go ahead start with the courtesy warnings now.... :D

That's a warning.

Just when I was ready to come down and teach you a lesson left handed. :cool:

Left handed?

OK, Gary, what did you do in Athens? Whack the back of your hand against a tree with a follow through? I read that you left early because you hurt yourself.

Nah, I had too much fun in San Saba. My arm was hurting most of the final day, just didn't know how bad I had hurt it until I tried to play the next weekend. It feels much better now, but I can still tell that something is not right, better to let it heal fully before getting back out instead of extending the healing time.

sure is quite? :D Courses are LOOKING AWESOME. GREAT JOB CITY OF LIVE OAK.

One word: Acupuncture.

Looks like all of the rain is not going to be a problem!!!!

rained pretty hard here about an hour ago.

big gusts and light rain off Broadway right now!!

what's it looking like at Live Oak?!

It's 30mph gusts and hard drizzle!
There is going to be a big am thunder shower moving through soon, I checked the satellite! After that it should be cool!
I have my seal skinz and umbreller!!!! Let's GO!

148 total Players.
49 Rec Men
16 Total Women

Outback is on the way, Hooters for the party tonight.

New innovation - Corporate sponsors logos painted on the grass of the sponsored holes.

SCORES?!?!?!?! (just kidding) :)

IM NOT!!!!!!!!!!!

:D

chris Albert wins Open, rain held off. Played all the SHORT boxes which kinda SUXED but other than that Great tourney Chris

Holy cow...Atwood last place cash in MA1...and Bender behind that...I am sure he will rub that in for a bit :D

Guess you can borrow from Kats' payout this time. Huge MA3 field - goodness

Scores are up on the http:www.texas10tour.com page.
click results then select Live Oak.

Congrats to Marka for cashing in MA1 !

Gary - it appears that the played event totals are wrong for the overall standing in divisions (atleast in MA1 and MA2)..nobody shows they have played 3 events, but when you click on a players details it does show that some of them have already played 3 events - don't know if you can fix this or Chris - just a little FYI

:o

Who'd a thunk it?

As many "almosts" and "dam nears" as I had today, I can't call my venture into the MA1 division an unqualified success.

What I can say is that everyone I played with in my last two times to play this division (both at Live Oak, GDS and ZLT10), were a ball to play with. I will say to those Rec and Intermediate players who wonder what to expect when thinking about stepping up to MA1, fear the level of competition if you must, but don't fear a perceived lack of fun with the guys that make up this division. Its a great balance of fun AND focus on good golf. I like it. :)

Congrats to Gary Collier, a he11 of a nice guy and a dam fine golfer. Your 2nd round Gary was very inspiring as you played solid and consistent golf, putting with great confidence when opportunities arose for birdies and never getting so upset by a shot that wasn't where you wanted it that you failed to focus on rescuing yourself. Even from the shorts on the back course, which is certainly the tougher of the two courses, an -8 with zero bogeys was a freakin' smoking round. I'm glad I was on the card to see it. Now move to Texas so we can see you on the course more often! :)

Hope everybody got a kick outta hearing my name called in Advanced at a ZLT10. I know I did. :)

Great job as always mate, and congrats on a fine turnout under conditions that no doubt scared a few folks off (pansies). You're perfect weather streak may have only lasted 3 1/2 years, but your streak of great events goes on with no end in sight. :)

Maybe I'll play Open at Lago tomorrow? :) (Probably the beer talking. :D)

Should be fixed now.

Chris Albert is the man!!!! GO TEAM CLEATS!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D

Holy cow...Atwood last place cash in MA1...and Bender behind that...I am sure he will rub that in for a bit :D

Guess you can borrow from Kats' payout this time. Huge MA3 field - goodness



Bender WELL behind that. Tied for DFL with some "spectacular" golf. 1st round was Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde at its finest. Get a good 3, take a 5, get a 2, take back-to-back 5s.

And what makes you think Mark will use those results for smack fodder? Oh, wait, he already has.... :)

Well you either saw my post I edited or just felt the pain also...I did use WELL the first time.. :D

Mark found some game, you played and I missed out..next time ....I see that both of you are still rolling in the standings (Kat and you..not mark - )..playing all 10...!!!!!

Hope to see you at Wimberly

You're perfect weather streak may have only lasted 3 1/2 years,




Hey now...it may have rained on the day of the event, but it wasn't actually raining while we played, and if the storm was just a little quicker, we'd have started on time and not have to play during the rain. I'd say technically the streak is alive; just a little delay this time. Maybe that will bring us luck in the future. Great time guys, I was impressed by the Live Oak course. Put in the last 4 for a full 36, and I'll definitely stop by again, if not for more than the 2005 ZLT10 stop. Congrats to all winners, including Blake in MA2. That's back-to-back man, hopefully I can break that streak in Wimberley!

PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THE FORMAT TO JUST SHORT BOXES! Took away the signature holes at Live Oak. IF so let me know so I can get my $$ back.. thanks

Learn a midrange.

Blake took back to back victories in MA2? Time to move up you BAGGER :D

That's right, Jeterdawg, it still hasn't rained on a Texas 10. It rained just prior to it, but not a drop during it.
Thanks to Mark and Danielle Vargas for a great place to stay (and to Bethany Vargas for the use of her bed).
Live Oak is as good as I'd heard.
It is pretty awesome when the Parks' Director rides up to you in his golf cart after a tournament to make sure I had gotten a Live Oak mini. The city of Live Oak is lucky to have the two Joes working for them.
I had fun playing with all the women I played with. You ladies are great. Thanks Michaela for going with me to Wal-Mart. It was a lot colder out there with that big north wind than I had expected.

Bender you might want to learn a Golf game prior to trying hand out any Smack. Atwood KICKED YOUR ARSE. way to go Mark. you missed the point the long holes is where I can make up strokes. PROS should play PRO boxes.

What a cry baby. You been around enough to know sometimes things have to be changed. Appreciate what you have and don't be such a spoiled sport. Have a good day. I feel Chris did a great job under the circumstances. Don't need the negativity.

we all know he only did that to speed-up the play. he ain't gonna make it easier just cause there were more than average rec players.

OMG Chris, don't whine. Sheesh. It was a tourney decision made for the best interests of an ENTIRE field with a late start in adverse conditions. If that kind of thing, which is out of the TD's hands, happens sometimes, are you really gonna take your toys and go home? C'mon dude.

Besides, if you'd have played the way you're capable of, you could've gotten more than your money back. :)

Bender you might want to learn a Golf game prior to trying hand out any Smack. Atwood KICKED YOUR ARSE. way to go Mark



Well atleast he kept his disc on the fairways :D

Well at least he kept his disc on the fairways :D

I don't want to hear from REC baggers. All I am saying is LET THE PROS PLAY THE PRO boxes. If wnyone looked at Rader we all saw that it was going to BLOW over. and it did. Did we run out of daylight? alos could have played 18 holes the second round. These are just my thoughts. so everyone can KISS MY ARSE.. GREAT job Chris

PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THE FORMAT TO JUST SHORT BOXES! Took away the signature holes at Live Oak. IF so let me know so I can get my $$ back.. thanks



You could have asked me anytime and I would have given your money back. If you want to complain do it to me. I made the decision and I will explain and deal with it. I spoke to you at lunch and you said you were fine with it and understood my decisions so don't try to make it look like you never had a chance to talk to me.

I had a difficult decision to make and I did what I thought was best for ALL the players not just you (big arm). When you run a tournament with 150 players and have the decisions I have to make every minute of the day then I will accept those. As things turned out we finished on time. If the long boxes were played it would have been very close to dark. The weather improved which was fantastic, if it had not you would still be playing.

Sometimes hard decisions have to be made and not all of them we please everyone and I am sorry for that but I do my best with what I am given.

See you in Wimberley on the long boxes.

More soon...

Chris

:D

Well you better make a spot cause I hear your all ASRE :D

See you in Wimberley on the long boxes.


IS this a GURANTEE if so I will be signing up today.

Chris, are you calling Mark and Tony Rec baggers. You would find something to cry about if everything was perfect.

Jim as Vinnie woulds SAY "SHUT YOUR DONKEY" I was talking to your non golfing ***.

Jim as Vinnie woulds SAY "SHUT YOUR DONKEY" I was talking to your non golfing ***.



Well I dont think Jim is still looking for his Disc what about you :D

probably looking for a calculator to add your score

Chris, can't you come up with something original? Can't take the heat? Maybe when you turn 60 you can play as well as I do. At least I know where my disc are and they are not in the lake.

sounds like a challenge you up for it Grandpa? and I will play the LONG boxes

Chris ran a great tournament there should not be any reason for complaining. Just because the short tees were played should not have affected your score. Pro players can play in any situation.

I have a game, this weekend it didn't show. No big deal, analyze, correct, and move on.

I also have respect for TD's and understand that conditions can dictate changing layouts (and I wanted to play the long boxes as much as anyone else). Himing doesn't run these for Open division golfers only. He runs them for all disc golfers, and the numbers he can get at the ZT-10 events prove that the idea works.

You want Open-catered events, go join the NT.

See you in Wimberley on the long boxes.


IS this a GURANTEE if so I will be signing up today.



No gaurantees in life as we know...

If I have to make a decision I will make it the best I can.

I may just have to play the Wimberley event myself and then kick your butt all over both courses from the long tees. :cool:

I am having computer problems this morning but will post an overview as soon as I can. Do you want the SHORT or LONG version of my report?

Thanks
Chris Himing

LONG!!!

Both :D

When you turn 60, you little whipper snapper, I'll be glad to play you if you don't find something to complain about and just play the game. Let's see, you beat me by 11 strokes and you been playing for how long and you are how old? I have been playing for less than 2 years and am over 60. Sounds like someone you could beat. :eek:

sounds like a challenge you up for it Grandpa? and I will play the LONG boxes



Chis you been playing over ten years and can only win a old man that is over 60 who's played less then two year by only a couple of stroke something is wrong with this picture. You probably should stick with the short tee's until you can get a game yourself :D

yes but it would have been by 41 if we played the LONG. oh never mind you REC players would still play the shorts nice shooting Grandpa. nevermind

There should be no complaining at all. I went from puking my arse off at 4:30 in the morning listening to thunderstorms over my head. I didnt want to play at all. Turns out, I ate breakfast, took a nap in the truck during our delay, woke up , rain gone, I felt better, I played, and I had a great time. I think Chris made a gr8 decision to shorten the boxes. And I think I could probably out drive seewhere. and I still had a great tourney given all these set backs. Gr8 shooting Gary Collier. I enjoyed a small lead the front side only to get shown up the back side. Way to go. Chris Gr8 job, keep it up and I might just make my 4th TX10 in a row. 4-4 baby!!!!!

**** GIRLS - WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FUN ASPECT OF THIS ??? STOP YOUR MONDAY B*TCHING

I also forgot to congratulate my Dad on his first place finish in open pro. He blew the competiton out of the water. Great job dad. If i could only stop taking top five and Win one. Call me Phil mickelson. Also Thanks for everthing dad.

oops double post

Hey Bitner I see you trying sneak in a little D comment. Let me know when and where you will be next I would LOVE to have a little D contest for say $ 20 bucks or so. Let me know when you are up for it.

Thanks Chris. I think that was a compliment. Would love to play a round with you sometime, I think. Hope you get your disc back and good luck in the future. ;)

**** S - WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FUN ASPECT OF THIS ??? STOP YOUR MONDAY B*TCHING



Adam,

That's a blatantly incorrect admonishment. We all know that the ladies don't biatch nearly this much.

I think the "ladies" are male this time -

You need to lightne up a little bit. If i had 20 to throw on u got a deal. But unfortunatly I am a broke college student and cant afford to shank a drive to give u 20 bucks. Its ok. thanks for reading my post though!! Have a good day! :cool::D;)

Looks like somebody has a case of the Monday's. :D

ah. we can make it 10. good luck in School.

Jimbo see ya around. Just called Nick's sports and no disc's as of yet.

as for the rest of you if you weren't there shut your ***

Just out of curiosity, as a pro player, how far you drive on average in an open field?

I never measured but I would say around 480 to 520ft.

I never measured but I would say around 480 to 520ft.


Wimp :eek: :D

hey James you gave me the envelope on Sat right?

LOL!
Ahh this is some good reading
good job chris H

[email protected] it feels good to be a gansta' :D

seewhere is just trying to get his post count up....his not really mad

Chris can crush there is no question about that. On hole 15 at live Oak he was about pin high with an air shot to the right of the little ditch that runs through the park The hole is 531ft. I saw this during dubs on sat.

On another note I would like to thank the Benders for donating discs for the advancement of womens disc golf at Live Oak. Danielle holds a womens night every Tues. at 5:30. Your donation is greatly appreciated and all will go to the womens night on Tuesdays!!!!

Last but, not least Thank You Chris Himming for another great tournament!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He was ******* this weekend about Kid Roc passing him in posts already :o Had a great time in Live Oak as always...even though I couldn't play. If you're ever in Live Oak make sure to thank "the Joe's" they put allot of time and effort into this course, and it looks better everytime I make it down there. See everyone in Wimberley.

Good morning everyone,

What a weekend! Thanks to all 148 players for trusting me with my positive outlook on the weather. I got to the course at 4:30am to clear skies, humidity in the air and no wind, I thought I had got lucky. At 5:30am the temperature plummetted and the wind howled. This was going to be an interesting day.

We held the 8:30am players meeting on time and the decision was made to meet back at 9:30am to see how the weather was.

The culvert by then had burst it's banks and created a lot of water on a few holes. I changed the course up to loose Hole 16 on the Back 18 and Hole 28 on the Front 18. That would elimnate a long walk around the water.

By 10:20am all groups were out playing and the rain was gone. The wind was still howling and did not seem to be letting up. I made the tough decision to have everyone play from the short tees. You can read more about that on the previous posts.

Outback Steakhouse served a great lunch for everyone. The Red Bull girls showed and still no rain. The wind was another story.

The second rounds finished around 5pm and with perfect timing the Hooters Girls arrived with 500 wings. I think we set a record for how quickly 500 wings can get eaten.

With the small pavillion housing the meetings, food, drink I didn't have a chance to setup the PA system and music.

I just realized why the 2 Ziegen Bock kegs got finished so quick, we had 20 ounce cups instead of the usual 12 ounce. I hope everyone had enough beer?

The Hooters Girls helped out with the raffle. Brian Foster won the Innova DISCatcher and Joe Minella the Hotel stay. I think a couple of the girls won the Ziegen Bock Disc Clocks.

After it was all over the rain had not touched us after the that huge hit early in the day. 148 players had a great time as did I and my staff. Special thanks again to Jason and Ginetta Chamberlain for driving from Dallas to work. Laura Karshis for being the beer girl and to all the locals in Live Oak for there support and help with the course.

A huge thank you to the City of Live Oak!

The rain affected badly my plans for our new sponsor advertising tool but I did get a couple of photo's before they got washed away. With the expertise of Bill and Jimbob Karshis over the last few weeks designed and developed how to spray paint our sponsor logo's on the fairways. Go to the gallery on the website to see the Hooters logo on Hole 10. Look for more of these as we improve the process.

The night activities were a blast. Outback treated us like VIP's, I had a plateful of shrimp off the barbie and the owner was very happy.

I then had to head over to Hooters for more meetings. As you can see from the photo's on the website it was hard work. I want to thank my 2 un-named helpers that night (one is married). Thanks to Hooters for taking care of us. Look for more involvement with Hooters in the future.

At 1am I was dragged off to some locals house to play pool. They were all there to try and take me down after the last whipping I gave everyone. They had some luck but I am still the King of Live Oak Pool.

Thanks to Gary Duke for having the scores online around 9pm and before I had even headed off to dinner. Your the best. Hope your arm heals and we see you in Wimberley on May 22.

Upcoming Events:
May 22 - ZT10 Wimberley
June 19 - ZT10 Arlington
June 5,6 - Lewisville Marathon

Check out all the scores from the weekend on the website. Also make sure you look at the fun we had at Hooters that night.

yes that was me

Thanks Just making sure. I will get it to the bank today. THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR SUPPORT

No problem at all Chris, I am just sorry I can't be at the tournament :(

Chris, that GLO TL is cool.

just a quick question. why did theOPEN play LONG TEE BOX on # 6 on front course but than the rules said play either tee. than the TD said play all short tee boxes?

just curious

just curious



The over riding call was "all divisions play short tees". The rules sheet and signs were made well before the event. If this was not clear and people played the long tee then you are all DQ'ed and I keep the money :)

Any other curious questions I would be happy to answer but for now I am off to the airport.

Q. Why did I have 20 oz beer instead of the advertised 12 oz?
A. Because I can!

HMM Brian said you told him to play LONG 6. have a safe flight.

Chris, right before we teed off for the 2nd round, you told Turbo and I to play the long #6 and long "A" on the front. I had asked if 6 was players choice as it is at most tourneys, and you said play the long position. I hope all open players did that. All the groups I saw played it long.

One of the little helpers may need a place to stay. :o

Chris, that GLO TL is cool.


Yes I totally agree, I got a glo TL aswell. Very sweet.

N8, you gonna throw it or look at it?

have a safe flight.



Hola from Cancun :cool: The flight was a little rough but it's good to be here. Expect some cool photo's soon.

Due to all the unnessesary comments today from some cry babies I decided to catch the next flight out of Texas and will be living it up on your entry fee for a week or so down south.

I just wish the Red Bull girl was here :)

Adios for a few days. I will be back in time for Wimberley.

Chris

Ok, how do I get a job where I shuffle scorecards on Saturday and end up in Cancun in Monday?

Hey, Chris, nice going. Amazing how a one hour delay can make all the difference. Glad the weather cooperated. It was indeed fun. Thanks!! Hope to see you all in Wimberly.

It is already on my wall. I think at the next TX10 i will get like 3 more though.

I didn't see Team UDGP mention any names. Maybe someone has a guilty conscience. :D I really thought he was referring to MarkA, then I remembered he couldn't throw that far. :D

not again Jim I have already agreed with someone to not give you any crap. Sorry you will have to find someone else to argue with ya. :o

boring ;)

C-dub? Boring? Bitchy, dramatic, even funny, affirmative. Boring? Never!

:D

can't you just leave your name alone martyr?
how am i going to keep up with who's who if you all keep changing your names?? :D

Because he will still be talking about back and forth putting :D

Mark - get them again this weekend...couldn't find any takers on this side of the world that wanted to ride down and stay.

Still looking forward to Wimberly...sorry you won't be making that one

Listen up yo, Reverend Atwood Slim is my god-given pimp name. You will respect it, sucka. You can keep up with me by following top finishers from Texas events from here on out, if you'd like.

Don't be a hata, be a appreciata. I'mona hep you out. I's goan name you Silver Tongue K. Smooth. :D

Don't playa hate, playa appreciate. Sucka.

Mark aka Division Hopper is scared of Wimberley. Double digit losses are a common factor and PPS is a strong force there.

Wimberley info will be up on the web soon. Signups are on www.titledisc.com (http://www.titledisc.com) as usual.

You know dat ain't right, Papa One-Eye C. Love. The Right Rev. knows those two courses as well or better than anyone in any division I might play. I'm hating not being there. Its making me sick that I have to miss it. Miss the ZLT10 that I've been most looking forward to all year, or get disowned by my family? Hmmm...tempting, I'll admit, but I'd better go to my nephew's wedding in case I need them in my old age. :)

Y'all have fun, and remember what the Right Rev. says:

Fall ye not into the sin of the 3-putt and throw ye not the plastic of the Ozark Devil.

Lordy Lordy..Marka has found the soul
Driving decent towards the goals

to see what game Mr. Bender is in?

Chris , No flyer for Waco Ams yet??

http://sportsmed.starwave.com/media/pg2/2002/1008/photo/a_drphil_hi.jpg

Hey jonjon, Chris is not the guy you need to talk to about Waco Ams. That would be Joey Harrell. His email is [email protected]

not sure if Joe Joe checks that addy. someone look at the last DGWN ad, it should have his info.

Hey Chris, Grandpa here. Just having some fun. I try to spread it around, just happened to be your turn I guess. You can pick on me all you want. Even though we don't know each other that well, I consider us all family if you know what I mean and I am sure you do. Hope to see you around. Have a good day. :)

Well maybe you do have pretty lips :D

Yes Chris, I was going to say the same thing, but you beat me to it. Won't make Temple, but plan on being at Wimberly and Lago Vista hopefully.

kewl see ya at those events than.

Whats up with Wimberly? Is it gr8 courses or what?

How long does it take to get from DFW to Wimberly? I would look at Yahoo maps but it is always wrong on the time.

I am not to sure but I think its like 3 hours or so west of Houston. so maybe like 6 hours ?? :confused:

WHAT! Forget that!

WHAT! Forget that!



Houck course...it has had more years to adapt than Saba...still camping...haven't been there myself yet, but have heard nothing but positives about it

Also...COTO...Pease Park...(sp?)...another beauty I hear is well worth the hours in gas and travel

Kid don't listen to Nathan he drives like a donkey. Wimberley is 40 minutes SW of Austin so it's not that far at all. South on IH-35 all the way to Austin then SW for 40 minutes, easy.

And no it's not full yet :cool:

Donkeys don't have thumbs... :D

i think wimberley is a little less than 4 hours from dallas, neglecting traffic and/or excessive food/gas/restroom stops. that's going near the speed limit, so you could shave some time off of that going 80-85mph the whole way, if needed.

Kid it is about 1 hr and 15 mins from my house so however long it takes you to here than add 1hr and 15.

On May 1st our 4 year rain free record was interrupted by a 90 minute delay to the event by severe thunder and lightning storms. Despite this delay to the start of the event we enjoyed a full days play and had a great time. 148 players were treated to and enjoyed two beautiful courses in Live Oak, Outback Steakhouse for lunch and Hooters Wings for an after event snack. Texas 10 is going strong and keeps moving forward in event management. Click here for event scores http://www.texas10tour.com/results.php

A disc golf first was introduced in Live Oak. Spray painted sponsor logo's on the fairways. The wet weather Saturday morning didn't help but we learnt a lot and will be fine tuning the process for upcoming events. Click here for photo's of the painted logo's. http://www.texas10tour.com/gallery-liveoak.htm If you would like like your event sponsors advertised this way please let me know and we can work out the details.

Upcoming Ziegen Light Texas 10 Events:
May 22 - Wimberley, Circle R Ranch
June 19 - Arlington, Veterans Park (using 36 holes at Veteran's including the original front 9)

Texas 10 returns to the Circle R Ranch in Wimberley on May 22nd. Come to Wimberley and enjoy these two great courses. Full event details are located at http://www.texas10tour.com/wimberley.htm Pick your own partner, flex start doubles will be held from 2pm to 5:30pm Friday.

Texas 10 also returns to Veterans Park in Arlington on June 19. This time we will hold all 36 holes in the park. This will comprise of the original front 9 holes plus 9 new holes designed by Jason Chamberlain. This event will be special as the State Marketing Manager of Anheuser-Busch will be in attendance to see what we do. Don't miss this event, trust me.

Enter both these events along with all other ZT10 events at http://www.titledisc.com To see who is entered for each of the years events just click on http://www.texas10tour.com/results.php and choose which event you want to view.

Having driven to Wimberly numerous times, at both the speed limit and 100 MPH, I think I can provide a good estimate. An I live in Carrollton, which is 13 miles north of downtown Dallas. If you take the 281 route (67 from downtown to 281 in Hico), it's a guaranteed 4 and 1/2 hours at 70 MPH. If you take 35 to 290, it can, under ideal conditions, be about 3:45 to 4 hours. But if you hit construction, the inevitable accident, or rush hour in either Dallas, Waco, or Austin, it can be a frustrating 4 and 1/2 hours. I recommend the 281 route. Better scenery, a steady pace, better places to eat along the way. Just drive the speed limit through the few little towns along the way and enforcement is not an issue. Also, having gone the 35 route doing 100 - 110 MPH, we only arrived 20 minutes ahead of the people who left at the same time and did the speed limit, stopped for beer, etc. and they were a lot more relaxed. Relax, enjoy the hill country scenery, and plan on 4 and 1/2 and you won't be disappointed (which by the way, it the time estimated on Mapquest). Plan on spending Sunday in the Wimberly area. Bring a significant other .Swim at Blanco State Park, 10 minutes from the course and one of Texas best kept secrets. If you go to Blanco to buy beer, the state park is across the street from the grocey store,

never been there, just guessing. :confused:

Anybody who would drive 4+ hours to play any course, should definitely come to play this one.

The Rolling Meadows, in my humble opinion (okay, so its not that humble, bite me), is Houck's Masterpiece. No matter how many great courses go in the ground in this state full of great courses, including San Saba, none can oust this one from the top 2. Yes, the courses in San Saba are indeed beautiful, but the combination of shots, length and the broken in factor that is often missing from "ranch style" courses that get less play, make this one place that is a definite must play.

The Circ Hill course is also great, and is a good compliment to Rolling Meadows.

I'm so ticked about not being able to play this event that I'm thinking being disowned by the family might be worth it. :)

Is everyone gonna be camping for this one?

Hey Roc! its gonna RAIN!! :)

WHAT???? Please NO!

"Is everyone gonna be camping for this one? "

I will be definitely camping for this one, rain or not, and i'm bringing at least two friends that have never played a tx10 before...

I don't like to sleep outside. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Danny, be honest. I've seen the times of some of your posts. You don't like to sleep period. Not at night at least.

Anyone who loves great golf courses and loves ZLT10's, should make it an absolute point to be at this one.

I'm getting madder by the minute that I won't be there. :mad:

Stay in Wimberly kidd. Only 15 minutes away, and breakfast in bed.

Actually, I am sleeping while posting those. It is one of many talents that I have. Along with plucking chickens. Remember, I used to live in Arkansas. :D:D:D

Arkansas - plucking

Ohhhhhhhh....... so that's what you Arkansans call "that thing" you do with your relatives :D:eek: :o

Hey Marka, I got something for you to think about... I'm "moving up" to MM1 for Wimberley, and you're not going to be there. :D

How mad are ya now? :eek:

yea but i'll be there :D

:eek: <-- kinda looks like a yawn, right?

Frank, we'll BOTH have to shoot better than we just did this past weekend for anyone to be skeert of either of us :confused:

Frank plays very well.

Until the final round. :cool:


A condition I can speak of with authority.

Witnessed this happening a few times, have ya, Gary? :D

My authority comes from living through the experience myself on multiple occasions. I am only hoping that I am now familiar enough with the problem to see it coming and stop before it does too much damage to my score in future final rounds.

And I can second that.. I can really screw up a good score with a sheety last round.

Hey man, don't hate on how we have our high school proms. :D

gary it was all bam bam's fault, he distracts me with his crappy golf :D

c'mon now, Frank... I was just trying some "alternate routes" to the holes. :p :D :D
