You're BamBam???!!! :eek: :confused: :D

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



That really works on Frank, I've tried it with success. :)

That girl riding the horse across the street from the back nine this weekend really distracted Frank, too. :D He talked about it the rest of the round. :p :D

Yes, I am, Mark.... I'm not really a disc golfer, though... I just play one on the weekends. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

That girl riding the horse across the street from the back nine this weekend really distracted Frank, too. :D He talked about it the rest of the round. :p :D



That girl on the horse distracted alot of us....ahh to be a saddle

actually bam bam we saw her the beginning of the first round, remember? now if i could have got a glimpse at the start of the second round things would have been better. oh and thanks for bringing it up you know shari is the biggest lurker of all time :D:Doh yeah that's right remember me saying how much she reminded me of shari :D :D :D

I remember, Frank... you need to stop drinking so early in the morning, 'coz I never said we saw her during the second round, ya gimp! :eek: :D:D We started the first round on hole 17, which I believe IS a part of the back nine of most, if not all, golf courses. :D:o:cool::D :eek: :p /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :)

Yer just still upset that my missing so many short putts seems to have screwed up your game, as well, right? :D:D:D

Oh, almost forgot.... Hi Shari!!! I'd put a bunch of stuff in here about Frank being a good boy this weekend, but you know him better than that. :eek: :p :D:) :cool:

Yeah, Frank we all saw that girl.... :o

Anyway, as for accommodations, is anyone staying in Austin? San Marcos? Wimberly? I'm thinking Austin will be a better place to stay, and it won't be too bad of a drive in the morning. I won't be able to leave DFW till about 5:30 pm, so the sooner we get to a hotel room, the better. an hour drive in the morning isn't so bad. Besides, as a child I had a bad experience with a scorpion in a wimberly motel. Any suggestions on a hotel are welcome. thx!

Josh

oh yeah, so far 37 smilies on this page, and i think 23 of those are BamBam's... i guess old men really like those silly graemlins

I am signed up. Can't wait to see Wimberly. Never played there before. :)

yep... and girls on horseback, too. :D

Same here.... never played there before, and can't wait to do so next weekend. woo hoo!!

Oh yeah, and for Josh.. :D /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D:o:) :cool::p ;) :D

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Man, I hate missing this one. Hopefully we'll be able to make it to the next one. Have a great time everyone!

:mad:

Texas 10 at Circle R - Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

On the Sunday after the Texas 10 there will be a 1 round, 18 hole, par 72 tournament. 4 par 5's, 10 par 4's and 4 par 3's using both the Rolling Meadow & Circ Hill courses.

More details on the "Courses" thread.

See y'all there!

Never played the wimberly courses but if they can compare with what San Saba has,,, I just can't wait!!!!!!!

signed up for the fourth TX10 in a row baby!!!!!!! :D :D:p

That's nothing Nate, I am going for 34 straight. :D

I will have some new products next weekend in Wimberley. Besides all the latest new discs I will have:

Nike Water Bottles
Wet / Dry Golf Towels

These new towels are great. They have one side cloth and one side chamois. Best of both worlds. They are also a good size.

More news soon.

Chris

Has a player yet made every one of the TX10s in a single year?

yes several have made all

Both Tony and Kat Bender will be accomplishing that this year

I'm really going to try to do that this year.

Has a player yet made every one of the TX10s in a single year?



I did it in '02. In '01 I missed Arlington, and maybe another, I'm not sure. Then last year played 5 and worked 5. :)

This year I should be 8 of 10. :(

There should be some sort of benefit for those who make all ten?!!!?right??? :confused: :D

There should be some sort of benefit for those who make all ten?!!!?right??? :confused: :D



Yeah - The bonus payout

TRU /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I think there were 5 that made all 10 last year, and I made 10 and worked the 11th. Think a couple may have played all 11 (final both Pro and Am).

With the $25,000 Hole in One this year at the final I would expect a few the Am's to go for the extra event.

Thanks to Gary's awesome stats we know of several people that have played 10 in one year, and that is awesome. Before Texas 10 how many people really traveled that much for one day events?

We have had a wedding, a marriage proposal, Hooters on fairways, Hummer's on fairways, huge inflatable beer bottles...what will be next? :D

Chris, are those towels you mentioned on the previous page the ones you can find every once in a while at Academy? I've found 5 of them in a mix of black, green and navy. They're about 2-2.5 feet long with velcro and chamois on the inside if you unfold it? Or are these different? Either way, since no one can find them anymore, they'll probably sell fast! I love mine, it really helps when it rains so much that the towel is soaked.

Hummer's on fairways



missed that in my players package :D

Chris, are those towels you mentioned on the previous page the ones you can find every once in a while at Academy? I've found 5 of them in a mix of black, green and navy.

I love mine, it really helps when it rains so much that the towel is soaked.



Not sure I don't get to Academy much anymore. They sound the same however. How much do they cost there? I am glad you like them, from what I have heard they are great.

How many are you getting?

I want to say that I found one the first time on clearance for $4, but the other time they were regular price at $7.99. Not positive about the clearance one, I just know it was less than 5. I haven't seen once since though.

The towels you are speaking of are $9.99 at Academy.

One day Sandalman was visiting his neighborhood Academy, and found them doing a $5 blow-out on the "special" golfers towel. He bought them all!

I have 48 coming in. I can get more if they sell well. I really would like to know how much Academy sell them for.

There should be some sort of benefit for those who make all ten?!!!?right??? :confused: :D



The points are being handled a little different this year. Instead of only having one champion per division, there will be a payout to all players that amass certain levels of points.

First level is 125 points and gets you a voucher equal to the current price of standard candy (Z/Pro-line/Champion) plastic.
The second level is at 200 points and gets a voucher that will get you 2 candy discs.
The top level is 250 points and that gets you enough for 4 discs.

The points breakdown like this:
Points for participation are divided by players per division. A win in a division is worth 25 points.
You automatically get 5 points for playing, Added to that is the bonus differential multiplied by (you + everyone you beat or tied). The differential is calculated by dividing 20 by the field size. If there are 20 players the differential is 1 point, if 10 players it is 2 points.

9 * 25 = 225

Bonus qualifiers:
TDs of other events can become bonus qualifiers (ask Chris how, not my job) and have their events contribute bonus points toward the ZLT10 bonus points competition. Each Bonus Qualifier you compete in is worth 10 points to a maximum of 50 points. Points are flat rate, you attend that qualifier, you get 10 bonus points.

10 * 5 = 50

225 + 50 = 275

The final 25 points that can be earned are from the attendance bonus.
5 of 9 events = 7 points
6 of 9 events = 11 points
7 of 9 events = 15 points
8 of 9 events = 20 points
9 of 9 events = 25 points

275 + 25 = 300 total possible points

One more thing.

In the past the points were only good within a single division. If you moved around and tried different divisions, you didn't get to use all of your points toward the divisional title. There may still be something done for the winners within each division this year, but the vouchers are being done on points alone, so all points earned will count toward the point total.

There should be some sort of benefit for those who make all ten?!!!?right??? :confused: :D



You also get the benefit of playing 10 great events. :)

Thank you Master of the spreadsheet,

Now could you explain it in English? :)

Play as many events as possible, and you will get free plastic. It is planned so that if you do well in 5 events and attend a few bonus qualifiers, you reach the first level. the next level is about 7 events and all bonus qualifiers to reach the top level, you must do well in all 9 events and attend at least 5 of the bonus qualifiers.

It really helps if you play in at least 5 of the bonus qualifiers as well. 50 extra points. The bonus qulifiers are listed on the Texas 10 Tour web site under bonus info page.

Bonus qualifier points are not added to your overall point total until you attend at least 4 ZLT10 events (and I find time to calculate the points).

http://www.texas10tour.com/bonus_info.htm

Thanks Gary that's a good explanation. Just one thing there are 7 bonus qualifiying events listed. It will be your first 5 if you want the 50 bonus points. Can't have anyone getting an extra 20 free points can we :)

I will be selling those towels at $10 each as well. See my buying power, I can compete with Academy :eek:

I did cover that in the first post, guess I forgot to mention it in the second.

N8 get your arss done there early on Friday, Josh and I will be leaving here around 8ish if not earlier, would be glad to show you around this little disc golf ranch heaven.....

Chris what course will we be playing doubles on on Friday??

Just one thing there are 7 bonus qualifiying events listed.



Is it just me, or are most of the bonus qualifiers in S texas? I played the WF Open, but I don't think any of the other events are close enough for me to drive to, esp. since I am already spending the money to drive to so many ZT10 events... not upset, just asking. see y'all in wimberly in a week!

-Josh

Nacogdoches (PPO) is in East Texas.

You know there is golf outside DFW.... :)

::cough:: ::cough:: Ask Adam... :D

Tell your TDs up there to get on board!

There is also golfing in other states Bender ....Texas isn't just a country... :D

OKC - Oct 2nd and 3rd -


Hey know..I went to Wichita Falls..I have been to Tyler...play October friz in Winfield, Kansas ever year, Tulsa, OKC...just haven't headed south yet.....I don't habla so well and you border monkeys make me look like an albino

Well said Tony...

Wichita and Nacogdoches are north or east. The others are events I am running. I get first choice :cool:

If other DFW events want to be in on the action all they have to do is ask. They were all given the info at the start of the year.

Just remembered I need to add Mr. Jim's Carrollton Open to that list. Bryan has always supported the LAF well in the past.

Keep those entries coming for Wimberley and Arlington on June 19.

For doubles in Wimberley we will use the Rolling Meadows Course (lower).

Thanks
Chris

Chris, when will the players list be updated?
Just want to get a look at who will be kicking my a** in MA2.

When the Spurs win!

Hopefully get to it tonight. I haven't received any new entries for a few days from Titledisc so may wait until then.

Is Randall signed up to play Wimberley? Is JimBob's real name James? Gary has a habit of changing things :)

Chris you better lay of the SPURS!!! :mad::mad:

Yes I signed Randall up the same time I signed up. But he is not on there?? And Jimbobs name is James Martin Karshis.
OH and I guess we will never see an updated list for the rest of the season then eh.

I go for the Spurs :cool:, I like foreigners. They will win tomorrow and then I will update the site.

And Bill, no turning this thread into a Lakers bandwagon okay.

Texas 10 and Spurs...a win, win deal :D

10-4 Chris :( or is .04 ) he he

These towels sound sweet, I think I might just have to get a couple with my winnings!! :D:eek:

Are baskets being given out at the final again??

Just remembered I need to add Mr. Jim's Carrollton Open to that list. Bryan has always supported the LAF well in the past



And I plan on it again this year too.

good, I plan on playing (and again sponsoring) Mr. Jim's this year. and yeah, I know there is golf outside of DFW :-). I played in Wichita, but Nacodoches is out for me. Not seeing the Carrollton Open on the list, I kinda assumed it wouldn't be a bonus event. That would have been very disappointing, so I'm glad I was wrong.

Maybe Mace should make his final event in the DFW Food Drive Series a qualifier too... a double charity event!! Now that would be cool.

BTW, Chris, I played LL Woods today and got to see your Marathon poster displayed on the board there for the first time. nice poster! and congrats on getting "front page" on the pdga.com website!

-Josh

Gary it does not appear that all players have their points listed in the total or at least I do not see mine?? thanks

Gary it does not appear that all players have their points listed in the total or at least I do not see mine?? thanks



Doesn't mean it's not there? :cool:

I am sure Gary will correct me but the bonus points will not show up until you have played regular Texas 10 events. After that they will go live.

I am in Corpus Christi right now. I was in Victoria yesterday and secured a deal with Chili's to cater lunch for the ZT10 Victoria. At lunchtime I have a meeting with a new sponsor but that info will have to wait a while. :)

[/QUOTE]At lunchtime I have a meeting with a new sponsor but that info will have to wait a while. :)

[/QUOTE]

maybe...maybe not..... :D


the posters do look great!
and all the info chris put with it makes it real easy on td's running the 24 hour charity event....
of course i'll post this info there too to keep it on the front page as it is almost off...
keith

I haven't gotten the Bonus Qualifier Points done yet. I have a few weekends off now where I am not playing, and will try to get all of the BQ and bonus point stuff done. Once the database stuff is done, the updates will happen quickly.

when you say bonus qualifier I don;t thin kI am talking about that. I am takling about the points from live oak for me?

Is there supposed to be more than Live Oak ?

I see those at http://www.texas10tour.com/results.php?pid=281

[quoteI am sure Gary will correct me but the bonus points will not show up until you have played regular Texas 10 events. After that they will go live.



[/QUOTE]

Sorry I left out a word. After you play 4 Texas 10's the bonus info will kick in. Thanks Gary.

Just got back in from a successful couple of days on the road.

I helped design a new 18 holes in Victoria. We will use the original 18 plus the new 18 for the Texas 10 on July 31. Should be fun. The new course will require a lot of straight tunnel shots. It should provide a good balance to the more open original 18. It will also be shorter. I did get to play the original course without any wind. That must be a first...no wind in Victoria. As I said before Chili's will be catering lunch for us at Texas 10. The lunch and the after event party will be great.

I spent last night and today in Corpus Christi. I enjoyed a very tasty lunch at a meeting with a potential new sponsor. No news on that one yet but it could prove very interesting.

Now I am back in San Marcos all the focus is on Wimberley this Saturday. The weather will be great as will the courses. More news tomorrow on Wimberley.

Thanks
Chris

okay now click on standings and find my name!! thanks

Hey Chris is there a place to crash at the course if we come in late on Friday nite?

The Course :D

Camping $5???

okay now click on standings and find my name!! thanks


I got it that time. Thanks for pointing it out.

23 players already registered for the Am finals....how many will this hold chris?...200+ :D

any word on the Mckinney/???

Any "cool" people from DFW going to Wimberley, that have space to tote me with them? My car is on the fritz, I would really appreciate a lift. caseyfortune@netscape.net is my e-mail. I will pitch in for petro! Anyone?

Updates on everyone's questions soon but for now click onto the PDGA front page and listen to some strange sounding Aussie interviewed on PDGA Radio. :D

Chris, you are like Aaron Baddeley with discs. :D

Looking for a ride from Austin...

Chris, you are like Aaron Baddeley with discs. :D



Cool, now I just need the convertible full of girls :D Speaking of girls...have to go meet with the GM of Hooters tonight.

Here's the link again for those lazy few. http://www.pdga.com/pdgaradio/index.php

The ZT10 website is almost upto date with players. I think there are 72 entries plus the 14 (not online yet) I received this morning that Gary has now.

Don't forget I will be doing doubles on the Rolling Meadows course from 2pm on Friday. I will accept entries from then until I leave around dark.

I will be going to the SA airport this afternoon then to Hooters and Outback so that is why I will not answer my phone or emails later today. By the way the ugly rumor I was in Cancun is not true, however I wish it was.

Chris what is the latest you think a round of doubles can start Friday and finish before dark?

I will stop taking doubles entries at 5:30pm. I will not be sitting around all night waiting for cards to come in so it will be 5:30.

Titledisc will close late Thursday night.

Will be be having Pizza Hut Pizza's for lunch on Saturday. You will be able to buy it per slice to make life easy. We will also have drinks and chips for donations. I will let you know more info on lunch tomorrow and I pay for them all. :D

If you are wondering why no BBQ? The new place down the road @$%%#$ me so I won't be recommending them to anyone.

Pizza sounds good to me and cheap. We should start a poll to see what types I should order. I plan on ordering enough Pizza for 100 players. I expect 120 - 130 players so if you don't want Pizza bring a lunch bag.

Time to leave to the airport...no I am not going to Cancun :(

Looking for a ride from Austin...



I'll be driving out to Wimberly from Austin early Sat. morning (not camping) and heading back to Austin after the awards ceremony..And I've got room for one more.

Let me know if you still need a ride, and we can figure out the logistics (email me at scoop@austin.rr.com) and let me know.

Hey Bird Man! I am going down Friday around 1:00pm. Simon and Jason are going down about 5:00pm. There is primitive camping there.
See ya soon,
Joey

so who all is showing up for doubles???

Rooster, I will keep that in mind and let you know. However, I am so not a morning person so I would like to go down friday night (for your and my sake...). If I can't find anyone else, I will let ya know!

Will be be having Pizza Hut Pizza's for lunch on Saturday


Now wait a minuete. I finally take another day off and have to eat pizza for lunch. That is just plain mean. And I read this after just signing up :D

As long as the money is going to charity, I guess I will suffer. Order me a PeJaPin. (Pepperoni, Jalapinoes and Pinnapple)

(don't order any of that new chicken buffalo pizza. There own employees say it is real bad :D TipthePizzaGuy.com (http://tipthepizzaguy.com/discussion/?page=2&list=787)

Casey, I don' t know if I am "Cool" enough for you, but I will be leaving either very late Friday night and sleeping in my truck or leaving at 4 in the morning.

Brian, I just meant nice. I dont know if two pizza workers from different companies could get along for five hours :D. I have had a couple other offers, if I cant get a ride with them I will be contacting you. Thanks, Casey Fortune. DONT EAT THE BUFFALO CHICKEN PIZZA! I am not gonna say where I work though. :D

Okay the person spreading rumors that this weekend is full please stop. It won't be a fun sight if I find out who it is. Intentially lying like this will not be taken lightly.

As I have said many times (Atwood stole my line) if you don't hear it from me the TD don't believe it.

The update to the entries for Wimberley will be done later today but we have about 95 paid entries. As you also know Wimberley has 2 courses so we can fit up to about 160 - 180 players. Does that look like it's full?

That said if anyone shows up after 8am on Saturday morning you will be turned away. Everybody has plenty of opportunites to enter so there is no excuse for being late. I will be at Cirlce R all afternoon Friday then from very early Saturday morning.

Now the good news...it will be a great weekend and beautiful weather.

Looks like at least 6 Pro Women. World Champ Des Reading (and Yeti) are back in town ready to play. Jay and Des also have some very nice PDGA Worlds fundraising discs if you are interested. See them on Saturday for those.

As I said yesterday we will be having lots of Pizza for lunch. If you don't want this then town is 12 miles away. Plenty of time if you need to run into town. Just remember that Wimberley is dry. However we will have lots of cold Ziegen Light and Ziegen Bock for everyone at the course.

I am heading out to the ranch later today to see how the courses look and whatever.

Thanks
Chris :cool:

Sorry Chris but it was me. I was sitting at home last night and the phone rang and someone asked if your tournament was full. Since it was the 10th time I had paused the movie, I said "sure" and hung up. I won't do it again. Please accept my apology mate.

The other Chris H that isn't Heeren.

That's funny mate. The last time I got a late Friday night call before a tournament I returned the favor and called them back at 4am when I got up to get ready for the tournament. You should try that :cool:

The foreign Chris H.

I is will be there(either Friday or early Saturday)

So I should return the call to that lame golfer who called me last night and was too lazy to just look up tournament info on the message board? I like your methods. He had better sleep with his phone off of the hook.

Vinnie, if you go friday night, can I catch a ride?

Does anyone have a number for Chris Hartley?

NO hartly #
I am unsure of Friday night as of yet, but if I go Friday night yes you can catch a ride.
What side of town you livin on ?

Wells Branch. Kinda far for you I know. Maybe Ware or someone? I don't have any numbers though. Palm Pilot crashed :( Mine is 785-7757

I have turbo's work number. I think they work at the same place. I also have his home phone if you need that. he should have hartley's number. send me a message and I'll give it up.

in other news...

sorry that I will be missing the TX10 Wimberly event. Truely one of my favorite courses. I asked Kelly to have the wedding at Circle R this Saturday but all I got was the mean face. :( ;)

Message sent ;)

Casey, I played National Doulbes in 95 with Alan Barber who worked for the Pizza Slut down the street. Kinda funny, me in my Mr. Jim's pullover or jacket and him in his Pizza Rut jacket.

Very funny, Brian. I could throw my slut topper on your truck for some added humor. :D

Here is the latest player update. 113 paid players so far.
Titledisc entries will close late tonight so if you want to sleep in a little more signup on Titledisc today or early tonight.

http://www.texas10tour.com/results.php Then click on Wimberley to see who is in.

I have to go to Blanco at 7:30am tomorrow then I hope to go straight to Circle R after that. My cell phone does not work in Wimberley so if you need to call me do it today.

Otherwise be at the ranch tomorrow afternoon or bright and early Saturday morning. No entries regardless of field size after 8am.

Here is a situation that happened in Live Oak that will not happen again. I had 2 different people call Friday saying to put them on the list and they promised to be there early Saturday to pay. I thought okay I will do it and save myself a few minutes Saturday. They didn't show and it took me half an hour at lunch to remove there names, adjust the field sizes and the payout. It also caused a 3 some on a card instead of a 5 some. That will not happen again. Don't bother calling to say you will be there, just do it :cool: The time and stress it takes to call me and ask if the event is full you could have entered by then.

I look forward to a fun day in Wimberley at Circle R. I was there yesterday for a short while and from what I saw the Meadows looks beautiful. The grass is green, the fairways mowed and lots of water in the creek. Also I hear the waterfall is looking good.

Thanks
Chris

watch it TBizzle. :D

I hear ya. But remember what I have control over NOW :D

Looks like alot of OPEN players should be FUN



Good point :p 336 bottles of beer on the wall!

We already have a great womens field. Let's see more Pro Women than Pro Masters? What does that say?

20 and counting. That doesn't count Nolan and Clayton. They said last night that they are coming.

looks like it does not pay to play masters this weekend.

anybody need a doubles partner for friday.

I signed up on title disc on the 15th may. It shows that the transcation went thru but I haven't seen myself listed on the players list. Please respond at your earliest convinence. Thanks!

Thanks Chris Himing, I'll be there early sat. morning.

Due to the ranch being a little out of town if anyone can bring some ice for the drinks that would be great. I will give you the money when you arrive. I have plenty of coolers but no staff to run into town all day to get more ice.

I just remembered that we will have an Innova DISCatcher Sport Basket to raffle. I will find some other prizes as well.

Back to the Thunder :cool:

I will bring some ice.Can I get some coolers to fill from you. I can get plenty of FREE ice.

Thanks Jerry that's awesome. I will have all the coolers there Friday afternoon. I assume you are playing doubles?

Chris Albert I found your entry and now have you on the list.

Chris, no doubles for me :( but if you can get some coolers to Joe Torres I can get all the ice. I have 2-coolers.

lets not get to CRAZY Jerry we are bringing 13 cases of BEER with us as well :) see ya at my house 6:30 sat morning

Hey Himing! Have you had a chance to look into my title disc entry for Wimberly? Call me at 210-884-1288.

Disc Golf at the Circle R, I knew there was a reason we came all the way back here from Iowa this week.
Speaking of which, I brought a small quantity of Worlds discs.
Not the Super Rocs, but the official discs from Innova/Discraft that feature all the killer art work that was submitted during our contest.
Also, hot off the presses are the Worlds Bag Tags. These are hot-stamped actual cattle ear tags that will directly benefit the Worlds hospitality efforts. The tags are $20 and will enter you into a drawing for $1500 in killer Innova baskets, merch and VERY special discs. Every tag holder is eligible even if not attending Worlds. But, if you do go, your Bag Tag will also get you in on the special Tag Challenge happening in every division during Worlds.

Come Get You Some!

Save one for me!!!!

cool! :cool:

Disc Golf at the Circle R, I knew there was a reason we came all the way back here from Iowa this week.



That was very nice of you both. Those discs Jay has are great and for a very good cause. He will have a table set up at lunch for the discs and bag tags.

So far 15 or 16 women will be at Circle R. Susan Jones is on the way all the way from Tyler! Des flew in from Iowa...what time was Julianna's flight again? Who said long tough courses turn away the girls?

We now have 120 players paid for and that is not counting today's Titledisc entries. Online entries will close later tonight so if you want in do it now.

I had a call from someone an hour ago asking what day the Texas 10 was. As soon as I said Saturday he said, "okay thnks" and hung up. I hope he doesn't turn up after 8am.

Due to the time it takes to play both courses and the warm weather I am likely to cap the field at between 150-160.

Speaking of warm weather...I will do my best to have plenty of water and ice on both courses and soda, beer and water at HQ but please be responsible and bring your own, you can never have enough water in this heat. The creek is flowing nicely and the waterfall on Hole 7 is the perfect little swimming hole. Could be a popular place at lunch time.

Looks like I will be able to make it anyway. Save a spot at the waterfall for me.

You may have to fight off the 8 Pro Women! Kat and D just moved up.

Correction to the totals...we now have 134 players! That is without whatever Titledisc entries I get from today and tonight. As soon as I get those numbers either later tonight or first thing in the morning I will let everyone know.

So that means I would recommend coming to Wimberley tomorrow afternoon to enter. At this rate I won't be taking entries on Saturday morning. I will keep everyone informed as things happen.

Remember my cell phone does not work at the ranch so don't try calling me tomorrow. Give a friend your money or whatever but don't wait.

Thanks
Chris

Wow! Another great turnout for TX10! Haven't played Wimberly since Teams. Rained the whole weekend.

Heading for Austin tomorrow night to stay with my sister. How long does it take to get from Pflugerville to Wimberly? Need to know what time to get up.

Look forward to seeing you all there.

With the entries I just got from Titledisc and those I missed we are now at around 147! I know some people will be coming Friday to pay so that means no Saturday entries for anyone. I quote, "No entries taken Saturday". Please spread the word.

See you all Friday afternoon. I have a dentists appointment at 7:30am tomorrow so by the time I will be at the ranch it will be around noon.

Thanks to all those people that make a TD's life easy and sign up early. I may even have the scorecards made this time. :D

Thanks
Chris

Hey Chris,

Two more entries please. Went to titledisc but just missed it. I would like to play Saturday as well as 1 more Rec Male (Max Lehmann). Please let me know it it's ok for us to come on. We will be driving in on Saturday am. Will try to get there by 8am, but acknowledgement of guaranteed entry would be cool. Sorry for the late decision, but have been addressing other "dg responsibilities" all week. Didn't think we would be able to make it until tonight. Please let me know if we're "in"!!! :confused:

Boom Boom I just read your post. I plan on leaving home around 6pm on Friday. Let's hook up at the course. I'll be taking the scenic route down 281.

Hey Chris! I am lurking in the TX area as of 11 PM. I will be happy to use one of my sponsor last minutes for CAM, the latest member of the TWISTED TEAM! I am bringing a CE EAGLE SIGNED BY METALLICA, with love and honor based on what we do...IF YOUR NOT IN................GET IN!!!!!!!The Flyer will be bringing goods for all.... :cool:

Hi Joe,

Glad you made it across the border okay. Your sponsor exemption is now a handy thing. Membership does have it's privledges. :cool:

Andi thanks for the info. You have a PM.

Who would have thought we would fill Circle R /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

See you all tomorrow. I may not be able to talk after the dentist has his way with me but that may be a good thing. Easier to take abuse from people that don't enter on time.

It's Thursday night so that means a real mans sport is on TV. Aussie Rules :D

Chris

Wow...Thursday night and the event is full! Are you sure you don't want to try the Waco stunt again and say that you'll take all entries until Sat at 8 :D:D:D

Can't wait to get down and check out the legendary courses at Circle R. For those of you that didn't sign up early.....see you at the next TX10 in Arlington :D

Wow...Thursday night and the event is full! Are you sure you don't want to try the Waco stunt again and say that you'll take all entries until Sat at 8 :D:D:D




I learn from my mistakes :D Never do that again.

Gary has just been sent most of the entries that I have. I am still waiting on the last 7 from Titledisc. If you are not on the update online soon or paid today on Titledisc see you in Arlington on June 19th.

Back to the footy :D

146 entries now online.

http://www.texas10tour.com/results.php

select Wimberley for details

From what Chris said, about 8 more.

Yep!!!Thats How we do it...When its flung, hope'n like a fool that you'll get some...With a smile on your face, throw that thing from the waist....GO CHRIS!!! :cool:get in....or get out!!! its a TWISTED WORLD.....GET TWISTED. bringing CTPS FOR ALL DIVISIONS......... :cool::cool::cool:

Hey Chris, Joey from Temple here.
A freind of ours is hoping to sign up Friday evening. She should be there by 7:00pm. Is that to late? If so I will check with you Friday mid day and pay for her entry.
Her name is Tracy Gilliam from San Marcus and she plays Rec. Women.
I will not be checking the board again before the tournament. Just got off work, (Pulled a double so I could be off Friday), and now it's time to get a little sleep before I head out in the morning to Circl R.
Later,
Joey Roper

hey, i know it's late and I'm not sure if anyone will even read this before the tourney, but...

Chris, I'm hoping you can answer this before I hit the road tomorrow afternoon. I need a couple shoulder straps for a couple new bags I bought for myself and my better half. I also need some plastic, but I KNOW you'll have plenty of that in the thunder! I guess my question is, should i procure some straps before I head to Circle R, or should I just pick em up from you?

Also, I think it's notable that (according to the 146 currenly showing on the website) MA3 is the largest division! Is this a first? I know Ma2 has been the largest many times, but I've never seen this much of a Rec. turnout. and how bout the 7+ Rec Women? Deidre (my aforementioned better half) will be playing her second ZT10 with lots of girls to compete with. Needless to say we're both excited about this tourney.

See y'all in Wimberly

-Josh

Rosecitysue you are looking at 1:30 to get to wimberly from Pflugeville.

Himing or gary you have Vinnie signed up twice??

I belive MA3 was the largest field when they played Live Oak also...49 newbies

Chris..take care of the Twisted one...we gave him a hard time last night and he was still passed out on the couch when I drug myself to work this morning

Though I did get to see a CE Teebrid fly from my front porch...across the 12 lanes of the Tollway and onto Lawry's front porch...Cam crushed that about 450!!

I may not be able to talk after the dentist has his way with me but that may be a good thing. Easier to take abuse from people that don't enter on time.
Chris



Okay, I'm sorry, but I have to ask which may be a good thing...the dentist "having his way with you" or not being able to talk?

Hey, it is awesome to have a sold out tournament two days ahead! Way to go!!!

i don't know if that title thing put me in the ace pot.
If not let me know and I will pay when I get there :D

Ace pots are not usually optional at TX10s

Whew...What a night!!! Looking forward to a great weekend! We will be in Wimberley around 1:30! Congrats Chris! Looks like another great "TWISTED WEEKEND!" Can't wait to see everyone. Travel wise and flywell......... :cool:

Now he wakes up :D

Go get them Cam and Joe...bringing the okies south of Waco..Bender :D

Keep those Canadians up north please. :D

Tbizzle are you going to be at the course today?

Are any of the women going to play dubs today?

Chris, Vinnie is on the list twice.

Looking for a doubles partner. I will be leaving san antonio around 1. Will be at the course around 2.

<font color="666666"> Well that is the problem with procrastination...bummer. Was hoping to sign up Saturday morning, but sounds as if I missed the boat. Hope everyone has a great time! </font>

Sign up early, sign up often

Okay I am at Circle R. Or maybe I shouldn't say where I am.

Sorry Josh.
Vinnie ace pots are included.
I will correct Vinnie being in twice.
No that does not mean a extra spot, it means one less 5 some.
Josh I have plenty of bag straps and discs. How bib is the Thunder?

The dentist didn't kill me so I am slowly getting moving.

I am going into Wimberley soon to buy more Pizza. I wasn't expecting 160 players.

Have to go...the Circle R mower pushers need the computer.

Thanks
Chris

No worries Chris...I had my chance and missed it! I know the rules! You guys and gals have fun!!! :cool:

Caddies are always welcome Josh. :)

you just get funnier and funnier! :D

got 13 cases of BEER in my truck!! :) I wonder how many will make it to Wimberly :eek:

can you reach them from the cab ?

If I climb out the window. :D

Are you incenuating that he could be drinking while driving?

Hey Kid roc when are you and JD leaving? and who is bringing the bobsey(sp) twins??

Hello- we are talking about Chris Ware.

Sweet! A double!

Wow what a day. The dentist didn't kill me but did knock me out for a couple of hours. I spent the day at the ranch turning people away. Not much fun but we all know how to fix it.

At last count I think we will have 167 players. It could be a long day on those 2 courses but we will have a fun time.

Thanks to the <font color="red"> 20 Ladies </font> that have entered. 10 Pro, 2 Adv and 8 Rec Ladies. Now if each of you bought a friend we would really have a good number. We have a full mix from Iowa native and World Champ Des Reading to first timer from San Marcos Tracy Gilliam. Good luck girls and have fun.

When I left the ranch most people had finished setting up camp and settling into some food, putting games and that other thing you do when you camp. What time would you all like me to wake you up?

I won't talk about the people that missed out but more the 167 players that will have a great time tomorrow on two great courses.

I will see if I can post an update at lunch from the Pro Shop.

Thanks
Chris

See what happens when I send those boys South of Waco Bender? They left here at 11 and were still calling me lost at 6:30...hopefully they finally found it....

The Okie boys made it okay. I don't know how they camp up north but I saw them pull a 2 seater sofa out of the back of the van?

My math skills are lacking this time of night. We may hit 170 players. Just heard from a Father and his 14 year old daughter that they are on the road from Corpus Christi.

Before any of the Pro's complain that I let these 2 play consider this...A Father drives from Corpus his 14 year old daughter to meet the World Champ and play her first event or let in 2 Pro's that are never enter on time and know better. I'm not the bad guy here.

Goodnight,
Chris

Good Show Chris :cool:

That is too cool man.

See you guys in Waco for sure.

Ray

Well, since my ride just cancelled on me, I hope all y'all have fun. Good luck to all the women playing. I wish I was there.

so you're saying that if I drove down to Wimberly this morning I won't be able get in.
Some people just don't know if they'll have the weekend off.
last year I payed in advanced and missed 4 events.

I'm on my way. call 723-6390

well i hope you plan on spotting then Martin. :eek:

WHO'S STAYING OVER FOR THE PAR 72?????
HAD TO WORK THIS MORNING, BUT WILL BE THERE SUNDAY AM.

SEE YA ABOUT 8.00

nice day for Pease and a better view.

If anyone is going tonight or is coming to town to eat and then to circle r for the par 72, PLEASE come pick me up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Call me asap...785-7757

k-t

I couldn't resist. :) Wimberly was one of the TX10 I really wanted to make. Too bad I had to move to Arizona. Oh well. Between Chris running it and taking place at Wimberly (which I've heard is awesome), I'm sure it was outstanding.

yea dude.........scores :o

All I know so far is Joe took 1st in MA2 and Josh wasn't in 2nd...sure scores will be in soon...they were just leaving Austin

yea dude.........scores :o



Nolan Grider won Men's Pro (Vinnie Miller second)
Des Reading won Women's Pro (Andi Lehman second, and Danielle Vargas thrid)
Blair Nicholson won Men's Advanced (Shawn Low tied for second with....?)
Joe Rotan won Men's Intermediate
Matt Kesler won Mens' Rec
Larry Thompson won Advanced Masters
Didnt' catch Pro Master

Think of a bunch of adjective superlatives...and that would about sum of the day. I think we ended up with 171 players in the field...and I saw A LOT of people get turned away this morning. SIGN UP EARLY.

Thanks Chris for another spectacular event. And how many women were in the field today? 21? OUT-FREAKIN-STANDING.

for reals

trips!

Thanks Robbie!

See you in Waco. If you cashed, I think you may have made the $500 mark in payouts so far on your schedule this year :D

This one wasn't on your list :)

What a day.

I left my store at 10:15pm last night and drove to Wimberly. parked right next to Thunder at 2:30am and tried to sleep till Chris go there and started banging stuff around.

So I got up and helped.

I wish my body would let me play 2 long rounds in one day. I played good the 1st round even missing about 4/5 putts. (but then everyone missed some putts today)

Got to play the 2nd round with Shannon Fosdick, Kid Roc, Mike O, and my second round with Big Bird. I was in pain the second round but still finished the round.

I tied with CWare :D(who made a comment that we should have played the short tees :D) sorry mate, I beat you to it.

Got beat by Pete Lopez, who cashed BTW. Time for me to move down eh?

I was only 18 strokes out of 1st and 4 strokes out of the cash.

35 Open players. And it could have been a lot more if some idiots would learn that GOOD TOURNAMENTS are filling up these days.

Thanks Chris for another great Texas 10. I hope you use this course again next year. How about San Saba????

G'day Everyone,

Wow that was an interesting day. I got home around 1am this morning after winding down a little at the Arlington camp area. Vinnie you sure know how to make a fire. Jason I am still laughing about the carpet thing.

Firstly about the scores. Gary has the scores and will have them on the website very soon I am sure. For anyone that did not know what happened last night here is the story.

The Am's came off the Meadows course very early (thanks for playing quickly). I had all the Am results done when the Pro's started to come in off the wind blown hill. With about 8 cards to enter into the computer I was taking a quick break talking to someone outside the trailer. While I was outside a nameless person somehow managed to spill a whole bottle of beer (and it wasn't even Ziegen Bock) all over my laptop. As you can imagine that peaked my stress level. Somehow the results were saved and transfered onto another computer for which Gary copied the results.

I now have a new rule for the trailer and it's not no drinks inside, it's...NO ONE INSIDE UNLESS YOU ARE STAFF!

During the presentations it was embrassing to me to stand in front of everyone and have to delay the payout like we did. If any of you know me at all is that I take pride in what I do and the way and timing of what I do. I will be putting procedures in place in the future so no one will have the opportunity to make me feel that way again.

Back to the fun stuff...

We had a great crowd of 171 players including a great field of 21 ladies.

2 Aces which payed $171 each. John Welch on Hole 2 Meadows and Jeff Lisle (1st ace ever) on Hole 7 Meadows.

We had a great raffle which included an Innova DISCatcher, 1st Run CE Valkyrie, 2003 ZT10 Collectors Set, Lance Armstrong Posters, Disc Golf Video's, and a bag tag for this years Worlds in Iowa. Sorry I can't remember the name of the basket winner but he was an Am and very excited.

As a thank you to all girls that played we held a special "Ladies Only" ring of fire while all the guys watched. With Yeti on the microphone everyone had a lot of fun and won a lot ff great prizes. Thanks to Des Reading for donating some cool stuff. The award fro the "Best Reaction to a Win" goes to Tracy Gilliam from San Marcos. On realizing her win in one round she threw her hands in the air, jumped in the air and proceeded to run full steam at the trailer to collect her prize. The jump over the banner flags was spectacular. With everyone having a laugh she was told to collect her prize back where she came from :D Great stuff and thanks again to all the girls for the support. We had a couple of young teen girls, a World Champ, a PDGA board member, 2 that are pregnant and a host of cool girls.

More bad news...Along with dealing with my downed computer and those issues I DQ'ed and suspended 4 Pro players for drug use during the second round. I will be lettting them know of the punishment later. I will say that the 2 guys that had the honesty to admit it will be given a lighter penalty. The 2 that didn't are now suspended for the rest of the 2004 ZT10 tour!

All in all the day went great and everyone had a fun time. The Rolling Meadows course looked so awesome I wanted to play myself. Thanks to the Circle R guys for preping the courses for us all to enjoy.

More news and stories tomorrow but for now I am going to go back to bed and watch a movie and try to calm done a little :cool:

Thanks
Chris

Sorry to keep everybody waiting, I just got back to the house. I will have the results up in a couple of hours.

That was quick Gary...thanks always for the updates for those of us who couldn't make it...

Chris - great job paying out all the non-pro women...great turnout for the ladies!!

Well, I was going to say the scores are up, but somebody beat me to it.

After 4 events, the average attendance for this year is 170 players.

21 Women !!!

That was quick Gary...thanks always for the updates for those of us who couldn't make it...

Chris - great job paying out all the non-pro women...great turnout for the ladies!!



I also took care of all the Pro Women that didn't cash with a choice of $15 disc :cool:

Thanks Gary.

someone tell bryan james SORRY to disappoint him but it appears I BEAT HIM!!! :D and I played LIKE CHIT

19 Chris Ware 61 67 128 $0.00 14.71
T20 Bryan James 59 70 129 $0.00 14.14

what tees did the adv. women and pro women play?

The Blues, just like the Adv and Open Men.

Now Martin, shouldn't you be doing something else instead of posting on the board the day after your wedding? ;)

Those are probably 2 of the best courses I have ever seen!! Wimberley has some beautiful scenery and the courses were in perfect shape for this event, if you ever get the chance this is a must play disc golf MECA :DThanks to the Circle R staff for all of the hard work they put in out there, it really made it very enjoyable for all of the players(especially the fact they kept the bathroom clean and stocked with good toilet paper all weekend). Thanks to Vinnie for hanging out Saturday night and cooking for the whole Arlington crew, you saved me allot of trouble. I'm absolutely amazed that someone spilled a beer all over Chris's laptop and it wasn't me or Ware :eek:. Please remember to support the sponsors of this event. I had the pleasure of playing the first round with Joe AKA Mr. Twisted Flyer and he is a very nice guy, so if you get a chance make sure to check out some of his products. Next stop ARLINGTON!!!!!!!

hey watch it my little B*TCH :o

wimberley kicked ***, thanks chris! i hit dead center chains on one of the short (from the red) holes on the hill course, but it fell out..would've been nice to get my first tournament ace at such a nice course. we camped fri/sat and thoroughly enjoyed the ranch. we got 6 rounds in over the weekend, including an ill-advised nightlight round on the hill...and we swam in the waterfall pool at least that many times...crystal clear, cold, and refreshing.
meadow #10 from the blue may be my new favorite long hole anywhere, and meadow #7 (waterfall) may be my new favorite short hole. i should've chunked a disc off the hill from the blue on hill #18, but i didnt have the nerve.

yes, I agree. great event. This was the second time I had the pleasure of playing these two courses, and it had been about 2 years. Luckily, I was finally able to put together one good round, to (sort of) overcome one bad round. This was my first top-10 finish in MA2. Missing two 10-foot putts at the Meadow course (one on my first hole, one on my last), I still tied for the second-best round shot from the whites. I'm not trying to brag or anything, especially since there was alot of MUCH better golf than mine played out there this weekend... but I'm still very happy :). Not only did I play well, but for the first time in a long time, I got to play with 4 people I'd never played with before. Good times.

Thanks again Chris. I only have one constructive criticism: Don't sweat it too much about the 'computer delay.' I completely understand how you feel, but from a player's perspective it was a minor glitch in a great tourney. I wasn't upset about getting to hang out a little later for payout. See everyone in Arlington!

-Joshua Dann

Thanks Chris for running yet another WONDERFUL event.

Thanks Shannon for the "local tips." I definetly would have been lost without ya. ;)

Ware, I liked how you "saved face" by posting your 19th place finish. :D

See y'all next weekend in Lago (maybe).

Well, Chris, it was another great TX-10. Wimberley is tough, even from the reds. My arm/leg muscles are still sore. This year's trophies are great! I'm glad you had a picture of the waterfall hole (Meadow # 7) since it was one of my two birdies of the day.
It was loads of fun playing with all the rec women out there and meeting the new ones. The young Ms. Lisle (whose father had his first ace) is a great player. She said she has been playing for less than a year. She's only 10 years old. Her approach shots are awesome. Like I told her dad, she could easily be a future world champ. Speaking of which, where was Paige Pierce? With 21 women out there, just think how many it would be if we got all the women that have played in TX-10's out there at once, definitely over 30.
Ladies love Chris!!! :)

thanks Kid roc. Needed to set things straight with Pizza :D

Thank everyone. Here is a copy of an email I sent out last night with some updates. I lost some people's emails so let me know if you want back on my list. I even fixed the spelling mistakes.

G�day Everyone,

The 2004 Ziegen Light Texas 10 Charity Tour has now completed 4 of the years 10 tour events. A total of 680 players have participated in these 4 one day events, that�s an average of 170 players per event. Thanks to all these people for helping support a great cause and enjoying themselves along the way.

Here is an update and summary of what has been going on and what is coming up in the near future.

ZT10 Wimberley Results and News:

After a couple of years away we headed back to the Texas Hill Country and to Circle R Ranch. In keeping with history of numbers for the Wimberley event I had expected around 120 players. To my surprise and to the surprise of everyone that tried to enter after Thursday night (when we filled) we ended up with a field size of 171 players, and by tee time had turned away many people. If there is one thing a TD hates to do is turn people away but disc golf courses can only support so many players in a reasonable amount of time. The days of showing up at 9am on the Saturday of the event and expecting to play are gone. You just have to look at recent Texas 10 history to see I have done, and will continue to cap the field size to make the event as enjoyable for the players that enter early.

The weather was warm, just a little cloudy and the breeze was blowing over two great courses. 171 players started right on time. The field contained no less than 21 ladies which included a World Champ, a PDGA board member, 2 ladies that are pregnant, 2 young teen girls and a host of other great girls out to enjoy themselves and the company of their fellow competitors. An Open Pro field of 35 contained some of Texas� best players from all over the state.

We had 2 Aces during the day which paid $171 each, John Welch on Hole 2 Rolling Meadows and Jeff Lisle (1st ace ever) on Hole 7 Rolling Meadows.

We had a great raffle which included an Innova DISCatcher, 1st Run CE Valkyrie, 2003 ZT10 Collectors Set, Lance Armstrong Posters, Disc Golf Video's, and a bag tag for this year�s Worlds in Iowa. Sorry I can't remember the name of the basket winner but he was an Am and very excited.

As a thank you to all the girls that played we held a special "Ladies Only Ring of Fire�, while all the guys watched. With Yeti on the microphone everyone had a lot of fun and won a lot off great prizes. Thanks to Des Reading for donating some cool stuff. The award for the "Best Reaction to a Win" goes to Tracy Gilliam from San Marcos. On realizing her win in one round she threw her hands in the air, jumped in the air and proceeded to run full steam at the trailer to collect her prize. The jump over the banner flags was spectacular. With everyone having a laugh she was told to collect her prize back where she came from. Great stuff and thanks again to all the girls for the support.

Now the bad news�For anyone that did not know what caused the delay to the presentations here is the story.

The Am's came off the Rolling Meadows course very early (thanks for playing quickly). I had all the Am results done when the Pro's started to come in off the wind blown hill. With about 8 cards to enter into the computer I was taking a quick break talking to someone outside the trailer. While I was outside a nameless person somehow managed to spill a whole bottle of beer (and it wasn't even Ziegen Bock) all over my laptop. As you can imagine that peaked my stress level more than just a little. Somehow the results were saved and transferred onto another computer for which Gary copied the results. The full results are now posted on the Texas 10 website thanks to Gary Duke. My laptop is now only partly working so please excuse my lack of web updates until it is fixed.

I now have a new rule for the trailer and it's not any drinks inside, it's...NO ONE INSIDE UNLESS YOU ARE STAFF!

During the presentations it was embarrassing for me to stand in front of everyone and have to delay the payout like we did. If any of you know me at all is that I take pride in what I do, the way I do things and the timing of what I do. I will be putting procedures in place in the future so no one will have the opportunity to make me feel that way again. Thank you to the people that came together at the end to help make things happen and make sure everyone got paid out and the site got packed down.

More bad news...Along with dealing with my downed computer and those issues, I disqualified and suspended 4 players for drug use during the second round. I will be letting them know of the punishment later. I will say that the 2 guys that had the honesty to admit it will be given a lighter penalty. The 2 that didn't are now suspended for the rest of the 2004 ZT10 tour! No tolerance means no tolerance.

All in all the day went great and everyone had a fun time. The Rolling Meadows course looked so awesome I wanted to play myself. Thanks to the Circle R guys for prepping the courses for us all to enjoy.

Upcoming ZT10 Events:

All upcoming events can be entered online at www.titledisc.com (http://www.titledisc.com)

More news of these events very soon, but let me say, please for your own good sign up early.

24 Hour Charity Marathon: Lewisville, June 5-6

Let�s all make this event huge and show the rest of the country just what can be done and the fun time we can all have doing it. For more information on the Charity Marathon you can go to, www.discgolfersforcancer.com (http://www.discgolfersforcancer.com) or click on the PDGA discussion page www.pdga.com (http://www.pdga.com)

We currently have over 30 cities around the country participating and more coming on board each day. In Texas events are happening in Lewisville, Live Oak, Houston, Corpus Christi, Victoria, and hopefully the new Cat Hollow course in Round Rock.

You can enter the Lewisville event at www.titledisc.com (http://www.titledisc.com)

Denton Open, June 26:

I would like to announce that the Saturday of June 26 was scheduled to be the McKinney Open as we did last year. This year the event will be located in Denton and called surprisingly the Denton Open. Due to unknown (or planned) scheduling conflicts with the City of McKinney we can not use that course that weekend. And if you take a look at the Texas schedule you will see that is it for dates. I will be requesting C-tier sanctioning and capping the field at around 90 players due to only having 1 course.

The City of Denton is very supportive and looks forward to us being there. Keep an eye out for more news this week on the PDGA message board. I expect to have all the entry info on Titledisc by the end of this week. So once more...no McKinney Open this year. The event is now...

Denton Open
PDGA C-tier
Saturday, June 26

Thanks for the support:

I can not say enough just how much I appreciate the work of the very few staff and helpers I have. It�s amazing that everyone just wants to play these little social eventsJ. That is just fine because that is what we are here for, so that everyone can play, have fun and support a great charity. As a player when you see people working the event or just lending a hand please stop and thank them as they are there for you. If anyone would like to know how you can volunteer your help even just a little please just email or call me.

As you can see from the schedule above the coming couple of months are very busy. I will leave you with these little messages�

�Play Texas 10 Disc Golf � Play Disc Golf � Fight Cancer�

�The great pleasure in life lies in doing what people say you cannot do.�

See you all soon.

Yours in Flight,

Thanks for the kind words Mr. C. I definately love playing the Texas 10 Tour, the events themselves are awesome and the job that Chris does for us all is very INSPIRING. I appreciate everyones interest in Twisted Flyer. Based on how things have been going I anticipate signing on for the 2005 season as well. I appreciate the people who sought me out to purchase Twisted Flyer Items in Wimberley, but as I said there, the only place you will be able to purchase Twisted Flyer will be in the TEXAS 10 THUNDER or at www.discgolftourist.com. (http://www.discgolftourist.com.) When I sponsored the tour in Lewisville, I sponsored as my trucking company (Streamline Logistics)After giving it much thought and talking with Tom (US Automatic)I decided the best bet for return business, which will allow for more sponsorship not only at Texas 10 events but other events as well would be to start working on the Twisted idea I have had for quite some time.When you buy something Twisted Flyer at an event your purchase after costs goes into a fund set up for future sponsorships, as well as helps support Chris and the wonderful tour he has founded. I look forward to seeing you all again soon. Joe

Wow! Sounds like another great Z-TX10! I love Circle-R, it was hard not being there.

The 2 that didn't are now suspended for the rest of the 2004 ZT10 tour!




So, would it be safe to say that the 4 DNF Open Pro players were the 4 in question?

It was a sad thing to read....players NOT obeying the rules, and puting the TD in a compromising position. Great call Chris! Congrats on the event nonetheless!

yes very safe to say. and 1 of the guys has been DQ'd from another of Chris's events for the same thing. When will people learn :D

how hard is it to go a couple of hours without all that?

And they were pros to top it all off...dumb, dumb :(

yes very safe to say. and 1 of the guys has been DQ'd from another of Chris's events for the same thing. When will people learn :D



Actually the reason he was DQ'ed in Live Oak was for very bad sportsmanship. I will not tolerate that either. My events are fun and competitive, and if you have an attitude like one that was on show (and reported my many players) then you will face the consequences.

I love what I do, I love to play and I love the fact that what we are all doing does so much good. I will not allow anyone to change that.

Now back to the good stuff...

The Arlington ZT10 on June 19th will be great. Next week I will be helping Jason tweak the new 9 holes that have been added to the original front 9 to make 2 great 18 hole courses at Veterans.

Back to getting ready for the Marathon.

Chris

Chris, are you coming to Arlington for that "tweaking?"

Yes I expect to be there mid next week if things go to plan. I will then move over to Lewisville to get ready for the Marathon.

If you had any other thing in mind bite me :D

Unless of course you want to loose some money to me in a round. :D

himing I would try and make the wed mini I hear they have some nice ace pots

LOL, the Wed. ace got hit last week.

Himing, let's play. :)

LOL, the Wed. ace got hit last week.

Himing, let's play



Since Veteran's ace was taken, let's make sure that we play at 6pm on Wed night at GRAPEVINE....the ace STARTS at $620ish. Come take your shot at 80% of $680ish!

Booooooooom!

Yuck, got beat for the 1st time by CWhere. oh well, I was so tired I could not even add up 5 + 16 = 21 not 20.

I will not let that happen again. :D

Chris Himing, so who has my coolers and Joe's coolers? I would like to get them back before friday.Do I need to get with Alex Huges or Shanon

Chili the guys used yours and all of mine for the Sunday event. When I went there yesterday they had not got them off the hill yet. Call Alex on 877-833-1227 to confirm. I will bring yours to you no worries okay.

Thank You very much Chris.This way if you all ever need ice and coolers again you can count on me.

Chris,
I was interested in whether you support the new Pro 2 division, and are considering offering it at any events. Some people are very much against this new division, as they say it is a weenie division for wanna-be pro's who accidentally took cash and can't move down. I highly disagree, referencing the minor-league systems in most pro sports--they help develop players into high-class professionals.

Seeing as how the ZT-10 is unsanctioned, there might not be a need for this division, but it seems like a good division for those in the high-ranked advanced/low-ranked pro situation. It doesn't really effect me much, since I'm still an MA2, but it will help me progress to advanced and maybe then some later on in life, so that maybe by the time I'm ready for Pro 2, it will be a large, competitive division. Comments anyone?

I think that the skill levels associated with a specific division were very localized pre-ratings.

By that I mean that within a certain geographic area, what is now a 900 rating would either make you a solid competitor in M2O, M1O or even an ocassional casher in Open. But if you take your 900-M10 on the road to where 900 was M2O you would get spanked. If you took your 900-M1O to where the 900 was a sometime casher in Open, you would dominate the M1O field there. (M10 = MA1, M2O = MA2)

That is where you heard a lot of advice about playing down a division when you were playing out of town, and playing advanced at home.

Now I told you that so I can tell you this.

There are Pro players out there that have been Pro longer than there have been ratings. They did not really choose to go pro when they got to a certain rating. In the old "Win and move up" system that existed before ratings, if you had a good couple of events, you were being pushed into the next division.

I think Pro2 gives those players a place to play without having to quit tournament golf.

Sorry Derek I am not going to be drawn into arguments about Pro 2. I have had a brief look at that thread and I don't want to get in that mess.

For now I will not be making any changes to my system. Next year I may have somthing new but who knows.

I hope you understand.

Thanks
Chris

Pro 2 division SUCKS just like the Spurs :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

And the <font color="pink">PINK WINGS </font> :eek:

: /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gifJason that was a low blow :( the RED WINGS got there arse kicked by Flames, got to give credit where credit is due. :cool:

The only 2 sports allowed on this thread are 2 man's sports that don't wear pads...Disc Golf and Aussie Rules :D

Ummm

any maybe bicycling :D

HHMMM is right 2 man? sounds gueer?MATE?

Just a little reminder that women also play disc golf. I know you guys forget sometimes.

Good point Adam. Add cycling to that list.

Nelle don't worry I agree with you I just don't have the whole politically correct terminology down yet. Did you hear we had 21 girls, women, ladies at the last event :cool:

Chili I was right about you?

what do you think the advanced division is for you wenie.

Good point Adam. Add cycling to that list.



Heard this weekend while taking in some sportscenter that Lance is the 5th highest endorsed sports personality right now...not too shabby...

I need to get that Pro 2 thing off of the top. Can't be spreading rumors.

Lance is bigger than life. I can't wait to ride with him again in October after he wins number 6 :D

No Chris you got me confused with Pete Lopez (hoto) :D

Just thought i'd let you know where the Himing-KidRoc showdown may take place..................

Disclaimer: ^^^^^^^ This may or may not happen ^^^^^^^^^







vvvvvv This IS happening vvvvvvvvvv

Since Veteran's ace was taken, let's make sure that we play at 6pm on Wed night at GRAPEVINE....the ace STARTS at $620ish. Come take your shot at 80% of $680ish!

Sounds like your jealous Mr Hero. I will take your money as well and the Kids :D

.......but Chris, if you take from me, then you would also be taking from baby-hero! :(

That wouldn't be nice! :) :D

you are implying that there is a possibility that chris will take your money. :)

so.. taking money from hero is like taking candy from a baby-hero? ;) :D

Actually Chris, I expected you on Sunday to come pick them up. I had our Circle R coolers for the Sunday event. (which brought in another $28 for the LA Foundation)

Since this did not happen, I spent the first hour - hour & a half today picking them up. I don't see Joe's cooler, do you know where it was? (I think the person that put them out should pick them up since they know where they were all located.

What's your problem Alex? I was there yesterday remember and you said you would collect them all (inc Circle R's) and I would pick them up later in the week. I am sure having an extra 8 coolers helped with your Sunday event. Now stop crying. I don't pay all that greens fee money to be treated like that.

Thanks for the LAF donations. I will collect that when I collect my coolers.

Thanks
Chris

oooh

OK..Guys..All's fair in love and disc golf!

Chris,
I had a great time in Wimberly. Everyone seems surprised that there were 21 women. Honestly, it doesn't surprise me in the least. Women go where they feel comfortable and you are the best at doing that. Keep it up and we'll see the womens divisions keep growing.

David and I are going to try to make Arlington. That is one of my favorite courses. Even though I play like crap everytime I step on it, I keep wanting to go back. Things are a little crazy right now but we will do our best. Gotta find a babysitter.

To all the women in Wimberly. Thank you for making this tournament a fun weekend. Keep it up and the ladies will shine.

Yes, you and Dave need to come on out to Arlington.

Joe told me some ******* stole your chairs in Wimberly :mad:

It will be good to see both of you again and I promise to try and stand much more upright this time w/o the swaying :D

LOVE your new pic 'nelle....

This POS computer at home, cant get into the chat room, but Ill keep trying.

Chris my man, I have no problems with picking the coolers up. I said I would & have done so. They are waiting for you when you get here.

"Stop crying" ??

"Treated like that" ??

The question still is...Do you remember where Joe's cooler was left?

Peace - Alex

No worries mate. I think Joe may have already picked his up. Chili had a couple but took one already.

I will take a look around on Friday when I get there. I think is could be on Hole 16 RM.

Please tell Zane the shipment is coming in Friday via UPS. I will be there to help.

Thanks
Chris

Right on, we'll see ya Friday.

I think I have all the coolers...will ride the course later to double check. I thought JT's was on RM 18 but there is'nt a cooler there anymore.

Remind me to get the $$ when your here.

As always, you ran a great tourney. Love playing the TX 10 tour events. Thanks for running it here at these great courses.

AH - out

I miss the ZT10 events, wish we had them here!

I will miss you in October mate!

How cool is that! Miss Australia just won the Miss Universe crown by beating Miss USA. Go Aussie!

If any of you guys are wondering see was exactly what an Aussie girl looks and sounds like :)

Did anyone hear the host say, "Congratulations to the Thunder from Down Under".

What a great day all round :D Proud to call Australia home.

I got home late and turned the tv on. The Miss Universe Pageant was on and I watched a little bit of it. As the ladies were parading around, one caught my eye. It was Miss Australia. I watched it long enough to see the swimsuit and she was definitely a standout. Then I flipped it over to basketball.

Chris, it's pretty cool to have a fellow countryperson as Miss Universe isn't it? Congrats mate.

Chris,

So, when she comin' to one of your events Mate :D
