Nope..just a picture of the Aussie winner

DAAAAMMMM!!! :eek: :D

okay,...one more :D

And to think...when I was married to her she was 30 pounds over weight and allergic to grass and flowers...Nice shots partner...lay off the internet porn! :eek:

Looks like Derek laid out on hole 18 at Lewisville...ONLY DIFFERENT!!! :) :) :cool::) :)

...just making sure you're talking about my signature. At first even I wasn't getting that one. I think the park here in Birmingham (where I've been working for the past 2 months -- hooray I'm coming home finally tomorrow!!!) is a much better candidate of being "parked...but not near a basket"

No..he is talking about banging you upside the head with his driver in Lewisville at the 1st TX10 event this year... :D

I guess that was hole 18...I was thinking Lake Park and like WTF??? She does look a little like me...I can see the resemblence.

"I was aced!" :eek:

Shut it Bender....

I must say though, that the ironic thing is two days earlier I aced hole 17 (short) at Veteran's in the pitch black evening with an Orc...it was my 2nd time to throw it ever! Maybe it was getting me back?

shall u show thine face in arlington or waco???? inquiring minds want to know.... :cool:

Ah Chaz, you've been strangely quiet since I cashed in Advanced at a ZLT10. Hmmm, don't suppose you're feet are feeling a little slippery on that precarious smack perch are they?

Let's see...Bender, BTDT, Derek, that's easy prey. I guess that means...You're Next!

Get to make Arlington, GIRLS! Traveling all by myself. Dad's staying home with the kiddies! Should be a fun weekend, I hope.

SJ

Guess you'll have to wait and see Mr. Cox.... ;)

Chris and/or Gary,

Are y'all ever gonna update the player's lists?

Slackers, one would think y'all stayed up all night last weekend or something. :)

I think Chris is busy with Marathon stuff just now.

I think Chris is busy with Marathon stuff just now.



Now that's the understatement of the year :D Things are good but very busy. I have lots of new entries for Arlington that I will process in the morning and politely ask Gary to post to the Texas 10 website.

Last night I played the Veteran's course and walked some of the new holes Jason designed for the event. It will be a large mix of holes and a challenge for everyone. Don't forget the original front 9 around the pond will be in use.

This event on June 19th will be a special one for me as the State Marketing Manager of Anheuser-Busch will be there. I encourage everyone to show in full Ziegen Bock wear and show her just how much we appreciate the support. The support and belief in this tour from AB is nothing short of fantastic and could be the tip of the iceberg for us all.

In the last 3 1/2 years you all have supported what I have done better than even I could have imagined. Now it's time to show that support to the people that can take us to the next level. Play Texas 10 in Arlington and help take the tour to that next level.

Time to get back to all the phone messages adn emails for the Marathon. Just confirmed Santa Cruz, Huntsville and St.Louis today.

Thanks
Chris

mr. atwood, as we all know, except for you that is, an adult rhino has no fear of others in the jungle. this would also include the following: A semiaquatic egg-laying mammal (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) of Australia and Tasmania, having a broad flat tail, webbed feet, and a snout resembling a duck's bill. i point this out mr. atwood, in the hopes that it will help you face your fears and stop running from you true identity. by the way, i will let you guess who i am calling the rhino, and it is not mr bender.... :cool:

The latest entries are now online at http://www.texas10tour.com/results.php

Gin Diesel how come I do not show up for being registered for RR?? thanks

I don't know, why don't you show up for RR ?:confused:

If it was supposed to be in the last group of entries, I did not recieve an entry for you from Chris.

Charles, are you stupid man? I didn't just buy a house a mile away from Veteran's Park for nothing! Yeah, I'll be there, and it's actually part of my bachelor party weekend. Some friends are driving into town and we're doing poker Friday night, playing ZT-10 Saturday, and doing the usual stuff Saturday night. It will be an awesome weekend, and I can't wait. Hopefully I can get into town a little early on that Friday so I can play doubles. (BTW - Chris you are doing dub's that night, right?) Anyway, see you all at the Vet!

Good news about the Dallas ZT10 event.

We will be using 2 courses which will be both located at Flag Pole Hill. If any of you have seen this park it is beautiful. We have the whole park reserved and will be setting up overlooking both courses.

Now back to Arlington...

awwww no WRL? bummer. Flagpole hill is sweet though. Are we using the 2 new perm course layouts, or are we using the temp layout? I've played the temp course layout and it was very interesting

Darn...I was looking forward to White Rock Lake also...haven't ever had the chance.

Chris - will atleast one of the courses at FPH be on the already nicely mowed and hilly area? You could put some super holes in there.

How many courses do you think are out there?

We will have one course setup on the manicured hill top around the flag pole and one in the meadows at the bottom.

Sorry I have only been there once so don't know the hole layout yet! I played the hill top course a couple of years ago and it was great fun. Dirk says the bottom course in even better.

The choice came down to Flag Pole Hill (2 courses) or using White Rock Lake and BB Owens. I choose Flag Pole Hill to support the work Dirk Snow is doing with the city in getting that as a permanent course. Some decisions are made to benefit long term development in the area. This could be a very good thing for the courses in that area.

At least we don't have to listen to Vinnie whine about the baskets at BB Owen :D

Off to Waco...to see the wizard...the wonderful wizard of Waco.

there are 3 courses at FPH. 2 permanent and 1 temp. I'm not sure if the perm courses are in yet, but if they are as good as the temp course, we're in for a treat. Kudos to Dirk for all the hard work he's been doing there at FPH. I greatly enjoyed the DFW food drive event at the FPH temp course.

-Josh

At least we don't have to listen to Vinnie whine about the baskets at BB Owen



or me gripe about the BB in general :D

The manicured area will be unreal....I know they did play there a few years before I moved here and I have only heard great things about it. Super nice area.

Lets get that 600ft mando Roller Hole :)

No BB? YES!!!!!!!! I feel like it is my birthday or something. :)

No BB?!?!

That's it, I'm not coming!

WOW, it IS my birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice. :D

happy birthday. yea to NO PP. err I mean BB :D

Yeah but you're playing the short pads at Flagpole :D:D

I was going to come too. sheesh :D hey tell Pepper I might see him next week not sure yet. will be in fri evening if I do come up

I'll let him know. We'll have to play some poker and drink a few if I have time :D

No BB? YES!!!!!!!! I feel like it is my birthday or something. :)



look at that...another one concurs...

my sentiments exactly...the food drive event was great since we didn't have to head out there either.

I loved Flag pole Hill. I hope to kick some ace in Arlington, I am even skipping the only tournament in lubbock all year to do it!!!!

Loser.




















just joshin ya. sorta!

;)

What kind of tournament director makes his only tournament all year on the same week end as the TX10? Weak. :confused:

Yeah, that is kind of a "Crowleyish" thing to do. :D

I would love to play both but I guess thats not possible now is it.

What kind of tournament director makes his only tournament all year on the same week end as the TX10? Weak. :confused:



Alright N8, easy there big fella. There's a lot of circumstances involved in this date and the two events that share it. Let's not be too hard on either of them.

Besides, these days in Texas, as you and everyone else are finding out, its just the way it is these days, with multiple event weekends. As long as the mileage considerations are workable between the two events, that's about all anyone can ask for this year. And, maybe for some years to come.

Still Sucks :(

What kind of tournament director makes his only tournament all year on the same week end as the TX10? Weak. :confused:



there's alot that goes into event scheduling. hopefully gnduke will chime in here and correct me where I'm wrong, but all pdga-sanctioned events must be approved by the state coordinator so that there are not too many conflicts drawing players away from any events. the ZT10 tour, like all other non-sanctioned events, has the luxury of scheduling these events at leisure, although in most cases (especially in ZT10) the TDs will attempt to work around the pdga schedule. personally, I wouldn't consider lubbock and arlington to be in direct competition for players, but apparently they are. 350 or so miles should be enough to help players decide... anyway, I'm sure that mr. logan did not schedule his event without regard to the ZT10 schedule, or vice versa. sometimes conflicts just can't be avoided. Don't put down a TD just because of a schedule conflict.

-Josh

I know alot of DFW tourney players that are just DFW players. I have never drove over three hours to play in a tourney and dont really plan on it. Texas is at least 2 states big. Bet both of them come close to filling, so that should say somethin in itself.

Still Sucks :(



I know, but the players and the sport are the overall winners in the big picture, with this kind of growth and support.

Wanna hear something amazing? After making dam near every ZLT10 as a player or a staffer for the 1st 3 1/2 years, I'll be missing Arlington to be at BAB.

It sucks for me too.

There's a lot that went in to this date for both TD's, like I said, don't doubt that, and the two have an understanding on it and know that neither can make everyone happy.

But, just like earlier this year in Witchita Falls, there can be great turnouts on multi-event weekends. Neither the WF ZLT10 or the Red Rock Show suffered due to their scheduling.

Let's just not be too hard on the folks involved, even though there is a certain "suck factor" involved for some of us individually.

stop the whinning and get your but to big D next weekend, just think with every one going to Lubbuck you might win one. HAHA
N8 you coming in early??

Yeah no BB,, Cant wait to go back to flagpole hill

Apparently there is atleast a concensus that we all want to play at Flag Pole

Mark - You do know that BAB stands for BIG ARMS on the BRAZOS..doesn't that exclude you :confused: :D

hadn't given you a good ribbing in a while...catch you at the next TX10

I was'nt harping on bobby just giving him a hard time. U guys took me way to seriously. I know bobby well and like him. I am just a little upset that I won't get to play my home course for the last year I am here in Lubbock. I will be graduating next year and probably won't make this drive again unless I have to. (For job purposes). But who knows. I am not a TD and no, I dont know what goes into the planning of these events. But if I was a TD in Texas, I would make sure that my date did'nt fall on the same as one of the dates for the best traveling tour in Texas. (ZLT10)

I know alot of DFW tourney players that are just DFW players. I have never drove over three hours to play in a tourney and dont really plan on it. Texas is at least 2 states big. Bet both of them come close to filling, so that should say somethin in itself.



lots of us do drive over 3 hours to play a tourney.... I made the trip to Wimberley from DFW a couple weeks ago, and it was worth every mile. If you never leave DFW, how will you ever experience courses like that? I'll be in Waco this weekend (only a 2 hour drive, but still...) and probably LiveOak in late July. For me, a few hours on the road is no big deal when I get to play great events with people I enjoy playing with. Last year, I even made the drive out to Lubbock for the ZT10 and the BAB (thanks again, steve for the ride there and gary for the ride back).

My point is that sometimes it's worth it to venture outside your comfort zone

Stay away from my comfort zone :D

I live in Lubbock and I am stuck here until I earn my piece of paper for the future.

Stay away from my comfort zone :D



LOL! :D

Mark - You do know that BAB stands for BIG ARMS on the BRAZOS..doesn't that exclude you :confused: :D

You will pay for your insolence!

Looks like my next ZLT10 will be Waco. I guess I'll practice up for it this weekend. :)

Hey, do my Advanced points from Live Oak count in my normal division since there was no Advanced Masters division to play?

You do remember Live Oak, don't ya Pellman, Bender, Tasker and Rogers?


*insert evil maniacal laughter here*

Can't miss a good chance to jab at you Mark

Let's all just be really thankful that we live in the state for Disc Golf....in a few more years...there won't be a weekend that doesn't have multiple events.

That will only make our TD's throw better events, promote the courses throughout our state, and increase the members of our huge disc golf family.

Mark - I have a deal for you...I'll get down to Live Oak, you have to come up to OKC for the Twisted Flyer Open in Oct. :confused:

Hey Adam are you and Joe going to Waco this weekend?? This is a must every year...

Sorry Chris,, back to TX10 stuff

He hasn't had a chance to play alot of our courses and I am already playing the TX10 and Denton the following weeks...

Need a casual weekend every now and then and with our Federal Holiday on Friday...it was a good match

I hope to see all of you at the TX10 in Arlington...that is 2 days after my birthday and 1 year closer to getting to that ADV Masters fun division...only 10 more after that :o

Darkness!!!

Your points count toward your overall total. As of now I know of no divisional prizes based on points other than bragging rights.

All of the funds for points awards are going into the new program.

Over 125 points gets you a voucher for a disc (std CE disc)
Over 200 points gets you a voucher for 2 discs
Over 250 points gets you a voucher for 4 discs

Possible to get 25 points x 9 events (for winning all events) = 225
Attend 9 events and get an additional 25 bonus points.
225 + 25 = 250
Attend the bonus qualifier tournaments and get a max of 50 more points.
250 + 50 = 300 possible points
get out and play.

As for the scheduling question, the state coordinators do not get veto approval of dates. I have to help TDs with date conflicts between PDGA events, and can only encourage TDs not to schedule events together that draw from the same pool of players.

This is just one of the weekends where there is a possible conflict of players that would normally play in both events if they were not on the same weekend.

I am sure that it will get more crowded in the future instead of less.

Hey, Chris! I send a check in the mail. It should arrive on this monday or tuesday. :D

Hey Adam (aka roller queen), I'll be in Tulsa for the next week and a half (not missing the ZT-10 though!), and I found that there are 6 friggin courses to choose from for my evenings there. Please let me know which to play and/or someone local that could tell me which ones to play. I tried one on my last trip to Indiana and it was a pretty crappy park...mud everywhere, weird-[*****] looking baskets, and no golfers in sight, so I figured I'd ask this time!

Also, I know how ya feel about missing the waco event. I so wanted to be there, but with next week and we had a wedding to go to last night, just didn't work out. I'll be at the waco ZT10 though. Thanks for the Tulsa input.

Derek - I will give you a better insight tomorrow, but here is the Tulsa map for their courses...Copperhead Canyon isn't on there, but I don't know if it is open right now...I believe there is also 1 or 2 others not on this map, but McClure, Dovillio, Hunter, Haikey, Riverside and Chandler are all great in their own ways.

http://www.discflights.com/TulsaMap2000.jpg

Sup fellas...Hey Adam you are correct, that map has not been updated.

We have 10 courses in the Tulsa area

Haikey Creek Park
Hunter Park
McClure Park
Course Dovillio
Riverside
Chandler
Westport
Reed Park
Mack Taylor (sperry)
Copperhead Canyon (our most challenging course but is closed during the summer)

Jeter, if you need directions to any courses while you are here feel free to contact me 918-629-9370.

What is westport?....Is the Bunker another one out there also???...been a while since I was in T Town :D

just curious as to why copperhead canyon is closed during the summer?

Private course that the WMCA has given their land for. I believe they have Camp there during the summer, so it is for the Kiddos...correct me if I am wrong Mr. McCoy.

An updated player list will be posted on the website later on today. Keep those entries coming in on Titledisc but please do not mail any to me this week. I will be leaving San Marcos Wednesday morning to go to Arlington to setup. If you are at the Veteran's Course and see Jason or Ginetta you can enter with them.

More news about Saturday later...

Thanks
Chris

Play as many courses as you can in Tulsa. The best 4 are Hunter, Dovillio, McClure and Haikey. Play any of the others if you have time but make these the priority.

Bender what time are you heading up Friday?

hey Chris / Gary:

The website has been saying 'Coming soon will be a full explanation of the "Bonus Rules".' for quite some time now... I'm still a little confused about how it will work. I know Gary just posted about the total number of points equating to a voucher for discs... Is that the entire bonus payout? It seems like an estimated $16k-$18k bonus would pay out a little better than that. Sems like the max bonus is 4 discs, and VERY few players are going to qualify for that level. What am i missing here?

-Josh

<font size=7>The <font color="red">bonus points</font> have nothing to do with the <font color="green">bonus payout</font>.</font>

<font size=5>If you attend 4 of the first 9 events you are qualified to receive payout in the finals from the bonus payout pot.</font>

The bonus points in the past paid only 10 places (1 in each division). This year instead of paying only one player in each division, your points earn plastic at a little better than $.10 per point.

This helps more people share in the pot. It also helps with the administrative problem of people playing in multiple divisions throughout the year. Since we are not competing only for the divisional title, all points count toward reaching the bonus levels.

I will get Chris the information to update the page this week. but it has been explained here several times.

125 pts = 1 candy disc
200 pts = 2 candy discs
250 pts - 4 candy discs

The bonus qualifiers will be added to the standings reports soon.

I think several players are already qualified at the first level.

Thanks Gary.

The bonus payout is the same system it has been for the last 3 years. Play in 4 of the first 9 events and you qualify for the "bonus payout". If you cash at the final you get your share of all that added money.

The "bonus points" deal for the candy discs is a separate deal Gary Duke and the LSDGA came up with. The last 2 years we have given away 10 baskets to the 10 points winners. This year we decided to reward more people rather than just those 10.

Thanks
Chris

right... calm down there mr. duke :) I was trying to plan out my tourney schedule for the rest of the year, and wanted to make sure I covered all my bases. I've played 3 ZT10 this year, and this weekend makes my 4th, so I just wanted to verify the bonus situation. I hadn't read this explanation before... and I asked instead of searching back through 184+ pages to find it. Thanks for replying, maybe it would be a good thing to put it on the website so that people can find it easier. Also, was the Waco Charity Open a bonus qualifier this year? I know that the list on the website is incomplete. I apologize if any of these questions have already been asked, but I would not ask if I didn't need to know.

-Josh

Yes..thanks for the clarification...I didn't know we had a bonus payout and bonus points...

Just clearing up any misunderstandings.

If you don't know, there are bound to be others that don't know.

Not jumping, the making sure it is noticed. I will get the web page information to Chris this week.

no worries :)

anyway, back to business... There's going to be doubles on Friday, right? I should be able to play if I can find a partner. Anyone else looking for a doubles partner? Am or Adv. either is fine with me. Hey Roller Queen you got a partner?

-Josh

Funny you asked...I just sent Joe and email to see when he will be here on Friday...if he isn't going to be in early...We can shoot...I am taking off Friday - again :)

Fridays are my official "work from home" days... and I feel at home on the DG course, so I guess I'll "work from Veterans'" this week :). Let me know

Fridays are my official "work from home" days... and I feel at home on the DG course, so I guess I'll "work from Veterans'" this week :). Let me know



Sounds like a plan...I will try to let you know by Wednesday...I still have to register tomorrow also

BTW Josh, I failed to compliment you on your stylish DG wear Sunday. Thanks for your support.

BTW Josh, I failed to compliment you on your stylish DG wear Sunday. Thanks for your support.



Was that one of the LSDGA collared shirts???...Will you have any at the TX10?

Yes it was, but I will be in Lubbock next weekend.

There is a problem with the shirts, and I am planning to get them re-done. Unfortunately, they no longer have the color the Josh has. Not sure on the time frame, but they should be here before worlds.

BTW Josh, I failed to compliment you on your stylish DG wear Sunday. Thanks for your support.



But of course. I really like that shirt. One suggestion to you and all those who do club shirts: If cost effective, a better breathing shirt would be great. I'd pay extra for it, and wear it more :). I believe Chris had some with the ZT10 logo, but i never picked one up and I haven't seen them in awhile. (hint)

Time for basket call. Here is what I have so far.

Chamberlain's------2
Shawn Wasden-------1
Pepper-------------1
Clayton------------2
Ken Cantrell-------2

I still have to ask a few more people that I am sure wouldn't mind us using theirs(Claydog and My-Hero) so that would make 10. If anyone has any that they could bring out it would be greatly appreciated. If you want to bring them out to the park Friday night that won't be a problem(bringing the shop truck to store them in so they will be safe overnight). If not EARLY Saturday morning would be great.....for some reason that Aussie is dragging me out there at 5AM

Jason

I can bring mine. It's a heavy homemade DB5 with a wooden base, and it's seen a few tournaments :-). I'll hopefully be playing doubles on Friday, so I'll be there anyway.

Mine is available if you need it.

If not EARLY Saturday morning would be great.....for some reason that Aussie is dragging me out there at 5AM

Jason



You got it...4am wake up call, shower then out the door :D

Jason have we decided who will be running doubles other than you or me. Remember what we spoke about.

Doubles info soon...

Thanks
Chris

Alright we're up to 12 now. Clayton Bethman said he will run doubles as long as someone gives him a break for long enough to go play. BTW, I can be ready in 10 minutes so you'd better not wake me up at 4 :mad:

Chris, you have mail.

are there gonna be 2 full courses????????????

Yes sir. A modified version of what everyone saw at the Big Show.

Please make sure Chris or you have a bullhorn or something similar. I hate to see 4 or 5 full cards get stroked again, because they couldn't hear the start from the corner of the park. :(

Sup fellas...Hey Adam you are correct, that map has not been updated.

Hey Danny and Adam, oops that was my bad I totally forgot about The Bunker in Sand Springs (5 minutes from downtown Tulsa). It's Jose Mendoza's course and is really fun to play, it's 9 holes with 3 different tee pads for every hole. All kinds of long cool shots.

Westport is a 9 hole course on the east side of the Arkansas river, there is a view of downtown from the entire course. The longest hole out there is about 220ft.

cya,
mc

But of course. I really like that shirt. One suggestion to you and all those who do club shirts: If cost effective, a better breathing shirt would be great. I'd pay extra for it, and wear it more :). I believe Chris had some with the ZT10 logo, but i never picked one up and I haven't seen them in awhile. (hint)



The lighter, better breathing shirts almost double the price. Ordering replacement shirts now, let me know if you want to go $35 for one of those or not.

Got 2 airhorns for you Adam....I'll make sure to stand right behind your card to start the round :D:D

Better than taking strokes due to poor planning...do it right before I ace :D

I guess I am having email issues with my @pdga.com email today. If anyone needs anything please PM me and I will take care of it.

Thanks
Chris

Do you still need baskets??? I can bring three if needed....Let me know. BTW Chris HAS the MICRO FIBER shirts in the THUNDER AS WE SPEAK...he had a great selection in Wimberley. :cool:

3 in the rental car..should prove interesting :D

Hopefully Cam Man has his Van...I have my discatcher as well and will be in the truck..so count one more..I can bring it Friday..

OCDG lives !! We shall see...MA doubles..bring it on

Please click on the link for the latest player update. 62 players this early in the week is about normal if anyone is wondering. If there are any mistakes please let me know.

PLAY DISC GOLF - FIGHT CANCER

This is going to be a long week. Why is it that when your waiting for a tournament the week seems to last forever? Looking forward to another Tx10. Arlington is a tough course for me but I always seem to go back.

We need some more women signed up. Come on ladies, get registered early! See you there!

We only need three more and Joe shouldn't have to import baskets from a foriegn place(thanks for the offer but you shouldn't have to bring them all the way from OK, you might show up with th OK equivalant of beer, which would be half a bucket :D) Is it Saturday yet :D

I'm sure several local ladies, including myself, will be signing up with the Chamberlains tomorrow night at the weekly Wednesday night mini.
Jason put us down for another basket. We'll have both out there.

The lighter, better breathing shirts almost double the price. Ordering replacement shirts now, let me know if you want to go $35 for one of those or not.



well... I have no problem going $35 on a shirt to support a club. Is there some quantifiable good coming from my $35? :)

Josh - it looks like Joe and I will be playing doubles. They are supposed to leave OKC around noon on Friday. I told him if anything comes up let me know, since you were looking for a partner.

Mark Reddoch might be able to play and I know that Joey Calvano also said he would be out there on Friday. Bender might be looking for a player also, but I don't know if they will be in town that early.

Is there some quantifiable good coming from my $35?



Not really, just the visibility of having the shirt out there. The profit margin is about the same for all of the shirts and it's less than $3. I don't do it for a profit, just to get the shirts out there. They are good shirts, and expensive enough with adding a big markup.

Thanks for the people that entered on www.titledisc.com (http://www.titledisc.com) last night. They will be updated on the site later tonight.

I am still having all sorts of problems with my pdga.com email. I have setup this email for anyone that needs to get me today.

chris@texas10tour.com

I am out for a few hours getting stock for the weekend but will be back early afternoon.

Thanks
Chris

Bender might be looking for a player also, but I don't know if they will be in town that early.



The Kat Andretti racing team will be leaving Houston after work...no doubles for us...

:D I forgot you don't even drive to the tournies...and you give me a hard time for thinking Texas ends at Waco...see you two on Saturday morning.

No worries mate. I sent a PM to reddman. If he's game for doubles, we'll whoop up on you and Joe :-)

Hey Jason what is the course like after it rains?? Will it dry out after a day or so??

Went out there tonight to clear a few of the temp holes and didn't hardly get muddy at all(and it poured for 2 hours here). The course dries up very quick so even if it rains Friday everyone will be fine. Couldn't move a few of the baskets that I wanted to move due to lawnmowers damaging the sleaves :mad:, but that's another story entirely. Updated basket list coming up.

Here's what we have now

Chamberlain's------2
Shawn Wasden-------1
Pepper-------------1
Clayton------------2
Ken Cantrell-------2
Calydog------------1
My-Hero------------1
Kid Roc------------1
Josh AKA Baldy-----1
McGough------------1
The Q's------------2
Adam Murphy--------1
Tom Lowrey---------2

That's 18...........If anyone has one more they could bring it would make me a little more comfortable :D IS IT SATURDAY YET???????????? :D:D

Hey Jason what is the course like after it rains?? Will it dry out after a day or so??


GaryWattsyouareaGomer :DI have tried to get your arse to practice this course for two weeks and all I got was(in your best whiney voice)"it will be to muddy, it rained two days ago" And now you ask :confused:

Hey, Jason... what time for doubles on this Friday?? I might need a partner. I will ask my friend if he has decide to go or not.

By the way Gary, N8's coming in around 5pm Friday. We are going to try and get some doubles in. Hope to see ya there. :cool:j

Joey I believe doubles will be flex start from 2 to 5pm or so. Clayton, Nolan and crew are running it.

Thanks to everyone that is bringing their baskets. I have briefly seen the course Jason has layed out and it will be a fun weekend. I want to play?

Ruth my favorite Red Bull girl called me today to say she will be there during lunch. Be nice :)

Ziegen Light will be available and lots of other cold drinks around the course. Look for the drinks golf cart cruising the fariways.

I am on the road to Arlington tomorrow mid morning so again please do not mail any entries. Titledisc will be open until late Thursday night. We will also take entries at Wednesday nights mini and Friday at doubles. No excuses.

See you all soon.

Thanks
Chris

Let's go 2:00 till 6:00 on doubles......I have to get some work out of those boys :D $20 a team regardless of division and PAYOUT WILL BE SATURDAY AT LUNCH!!!!! The currunt regular 18 hole layout should provide some very low scores since most of the baskets are short and the most of the ones that are long are in their easier positions(except for 8 and 14...FING LAWNMOWERS). IS IT SATURDAY YET????

May I suggest some PVC piping like Zboaz has...I was there last weekend and anything visible stands a better chance against those mowers. They used to ruin Dolese's sleaves all the time like that and finally, putting a boundry around the sleave atleast brought some attention to the mower guys and gals.

See everyone Friday or Sat morning and if you end up with a closer goal, let me know and I won't drag mine from this side of town. Sounds like we may have a carload of 5 guys and one of them for his 1st tourney ever...Look out MA3..he can play

Josh..if you didn't grab a partner..it looks like Joey is looking for one...if you haven't played golf with him and his crew you are missing out...some of the best spirited golfers I have ever had the chance to play with.

Joey...what disc was I bringing for you?

The City doesn't want anything visible to the public to mark the sleaves. We spoke to them today and have settled on putting those plastic containers you use for the water shut off valve at your house around EVERY pin. The only problem I have is most of the sleaves that were damaged by lawnmowers were in areas they have never mowed in the past :confused:

The good news is they are willing to help out with the expense of replacing them. And I say yet again............FING LAWNMOWERS :mad:

Go to bed...you will be up early Saturday :D

Ah, it feels great to be back in Cali. Texas is tooo **** hot! Thanks again Jason for showing me the Veterans Course. Very cool! :DI'll try to give that crush a chance when I get some free time. Thanks again good luck next weekend.........

JonJon

Well after taking off for a while with a jacked up back and missing out on my favorite tourney of the year in Waco last weekend I am going to make an appearance in Arlington!!!! I am pumped up... Haven't really got to play much since SABA!! I am only bringing about a half game, but i am looking forward to getting back in the "ring" even if it is to get knocked OUT.. ;) My moto for this weekend is = Chip, chip, putt...;)

Second page of the Sports section in today's paper you will see the headline "Couple marks anniversary with fling". It ends with the paragraph, "On Saturday, the Texas 10 Tour comes to the same Veterans Park where Laura, 39, and Don, 41, first met. What better way to celebrate an anniversary?" Get a copy of the paper to read the eight paragraphs...or I'm sure I'll be wagging around a copy for a while. :D

See ya' at the mini tonight, or if for some reason you can't make it to the mini, see you Saturday at the ZT10!

Good stuff Laura. Congratulations.

Here is a link I hope works.
Don and Laura (http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/sports/8935248.htm?1c)

Hey...that is atleast good news, they are willing to try and protect the sleaves in the future. Nice to have a city that works with the golfers.

heck ya PT, thats what i am talking about. get your butt on the course.

So what time flex staarts are the doubles? because that will make a diference on what time I leave Lubbock. 2-5 or 2-6???

I will be arriving about 5-5:30 ish. So someone let me know what time the flex start will stop on the doubles Friday.

Jason said 6pm.

cool thanks, Ill be there!!!! :D

David decided that I couldn't make the trip without him. So, looks like both Jones' will be there! Hey, it's WEDNESDAY!

Laura,
I figured all of ya'll would sign up on the course, I was just hoping to get some of my Tyler and Austin area friends to come on up. Congratulations on your anniversary.

All the Jones's in the house...it will be good to see the two of you...Dave needs to somehow get on my card...the good luck is flowing and I have aced and 2 of my buddies in the last week..must be something to do with turning 30 tomorrow

Hey I will be there at 2 pm for doubles and I need a partner... Anyone ??? let me know thanks!

Hey Joey, My partner was worried about me working and being able to play so he is playing with someone else. If you want to play at 2:00 let me know and we can go get a round in early before I have to mark all the holes. Please don't yell at me me when I have a bad shot though :D:D

Will lunch be available to purchase at the course?

Shut your [*****] :p

Sounds good... I won't yell at you.. I will use the sign language at you if you make a bad shot. :D

Sounds good... I won't yell at you.. I will use the sign language at you if you make a bad shot. :D



LMAO...We can't play that early, but should be in around 3-3:30 if all works out..

It's in the works as we speak. Knowing Mr Himing I would have to say yes ;)

G'day from Arlington. I made into town earlier today to bright sunshine, mowed fairways and lots of entries in the email box.

We now have 110 paid entries for Saturday. Still plenty of room so don't even ask if we have room. Get on to www.titledisc.com (http://www.titledisc.com) before tomorrow night, be at doubles Friday night and you will be "no worries". Turn up after 7:30-8am on Saturday and roll the dice.

I am having connection issues at Jason's house so I have sent Gary the entries from today (around 40 of them). Give him some time and then click on www.texas10tour.com (http://www.texas10tour.com) and go to "results".

More tomorrow.

Thanks
Chris

We now have 125 paid players! It could be a fun time on Saturday morning. Can anyone say Wimberley?

Now that I am in Arlington on a different computer I can not post to the websie the updated names. I am entering them directly into the computer scoring program.

Sign up now :cool:

Will someone get the lucky 4am call?... :D

Glad I am already in

Okay, I just signed up on Titledisc.

hey Joey I can partner with you as well. sorry for the delayed post, but i was afk (away from keyboard) yesterday and didn't see till today that you are looking. If Jason has too much to do... I'll just be hanging out and dropping off my basket :-)

-Josh

P.S. Adam - yes, I've played with Joey before a few times. Audobon and FPH, and i think Bear Creek. I only know one sign, but it's universal :-)

I think Joey may know that signal also :D

Hey Josh ... okay I will be there about 2 pm.. I am sure that Jason is busy with setting up baskets... So he can relax and focus on best tourney! 125 players ?? come on guys sign up!!!! :D

right on. I'll try to be there at 2pm as well. Look out MA2 doubles teams... :D

right on. I'll try to be there at 2pm as well. Look out MA2 doubles teams... :D



Yes...Look out for team OCDG....we are coming to play this time...as opposed to the WF TX10 :o

OKC? don't you live in DFW now? that's kinda like going to college wearing your high school letter jacket :eek:

OKC? don't you live in DFW now? that's kinda like going to college wearing your high school letter jacket :eek:



OCDG = OKLAHOMA CITY DALLAS GOLF - JOE IS STILL IN OKC

OR OBESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISC GOLFERS :D


They didn't have letter jackets for Disc Golf in my school

**** I leave for a little while and all the trash talk starts :D It's definately Joey and Josh now, I just got screwed out of my full day off and won't be able to leave until at least lunch :mad: See everyone sometime Friday. BTW we will be at the park tonight doing a few things tonight and should have sign-ups with us. IS IT SATURDAY YET??? :D

hehe yeah i figured they wouldn't.... some day. I was attempting a humorous simile... :p

Good luck out there Jason, Danny, Josh ! Wish I could've stayed one more week. Although its like 70 degrees out in L.A right now. Pretty nice! :D

good meeting you, john. hope you had a good time here. let me know if you are ever in the area again.

Hey Josh, I ordered your shirt today. The ones we were looking at were the lightest ones they had.

sweet. I've been looking at places to get T-Shirts for that idea i was telling you about. I'll make sure I have cash for the shirt u ordered.... in Waco? Denton? how soon can i get it? :D

Likewise Martin, Let me know if you guys come out to sunny SoCal :D

P.T. Bling I thought you had retired!
Glad to hear that you'r getting you'r arss back on the course
wev'e all missed you, and the bagger chant at prior Tx.10's
this season. I've stepped my game up a notch and just hit my 1st. ACE You can find it under the My 1st. Ace forum.
Can't wait unil Arlington- is it Sat. yet
See you there!

Oh, Adam. The only way David will be on your card is if he throws left handed and blind folded. Sorry, I just don't think he'll be able to do it. :D:D

You set yourself up for that one. But, love ya anyway!

Hey Jason what is the course like after it rains?? Will it dry out after a day or so??


GaryWattsyouareaGomer :DI have tried to get your arse to practice this course for two weeks and all I got was(in your best whiney voice)"it will be to muddy, it rained two days ago" And now you ask :confused:



J, he must get that whine from Hosher!
Ready for Arlington!- is it Sat. yet?

Thanks for coming out and playing a round at the Vet with us John. Wish you could have stayed too......You're missing the greatest tournament series there is. I'm gonig to try and mark most of the temp holes with paint tonight. If you come out just look for the red on the ground and that should give you an idea on the course layout. IT'S STILL NOT SATURDAY :confused: :D

and all of you are bringing me new discs for my birthday presents right :confused: :D

No Jaguars :o

How about a 155g Chief :D

:D I would prefer a heavy mini over that also :D

Jason...do you still need my bucket?

Josh, It should be here before the Waco TX10

Gary - I would like a Large if you will have a few extras

Yes sir if it's not a problem. Himing said he'll buy you a Ziggy Light for your birthday :D
BTW........Happy Birthday....How does it feel to finally turn 21??? :D

I wish it was only 21...but it is the big 30... :o

Consider my goal there...if you are still going to store them, I can bring it tomorrow.

Tell Chris I plan on taking him up on the frosty beer

Thanks for bringing it out. I'll keep it nice and safe overnight :D See you tomorrow.....OH YEAH........IS IT SATURDAY YET :confused:

yeah you'd better keep mine safe too. Else, I'll wait till Ginetta isn't around and whoop up on you

Gary - I would like a Large if you will have a few extras



I will have a few larges in different styles and colors

Oh, and Josh, reserve 2 XLs for me if you find a source.

hey Gary, are you at someplace I can call you? Or call me when u get the message: 214-868-2996

Else, I'll wait till Ginetta isn't around and whoop up on you



.........Now that was funny!

Josh, it's going to be 94 degrees, bring your sun screen. Hate to see another BAB. :D

Only because it's true /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif Noone's scared of me......my wife on the other hand........ ;)

Happy Birthday Adam. Thirty isn't so bad. It's when the kids start asking "Mom, back in the old days when you were little did they have TV?" you know you're getting old.
Maybe you and David will share the leader card this weekend. That'd be cool.

Thursay finally. Tomorrow still seems a long way off.

Happy Birthday Adam!! 30.. you are still young... I am way older than you ... :-)

Josh, it's going to be 94 degrees, bring your sun screen. Hate to see another BAB. :D



I think I'm gonna start applying one coat every 4 hours or so... if I start tonight, maybe i won't repeat lubbock :)

P.T. Bling I thought you had retired!

Congrats man.. I was actually out there right after you left to play a round.. or try with my cracked back :mad:Jason was still there and told me you got an ACE!! Sweet man. Well I guess I will see you Sat morning brother..

L8
PT Bling :D

Okay we are now at 140 paid entries. At this rate I suggest being at the course early this afternoon to pay your entry if you want in. Titledisc is closed and I can not take credit cards over the phone while I am away from home You have had plenty of chances as always. The field will be capped I expect sometime this afternoon or tonight but I wil try to keep everyone informed.

It is going to be a warm day so please be responsible and bring plenty of water etc to drink. We will have water all over the course and Red Bull at lunch but don't rely on that just in case Jason rolls the drinks golf cart.

If you don't know all the meeting areas are at the lower (south) pavillion off Spanish Trail. That is near Hole 1.

Time to go and do something?

Thanks
Chris :cool:

Chris what is the field being capped at since you are using 2 courses.

Can we see an updated list?

Josh and Joey....looks like we might be at the park closer to 2...maybe we can shoot that doubles round together...I'll keep and eye out for you...I am off to the pool...

Chris stated earlier in the thread that the list would not be updated since he was having connection problems while in Dallas. The normal cap for 2 courses is 180 players.

Must work tommorow- no VET for me. Good luck to Reddman, Bam Bam, Jordan, My-Hero, The Wilson Bro,s, Scott Mc Bride and Mr. Murphy. Come on Adam and Mark dont let Scott-the kid- whip up on yall. :D

Now that I am old I am Mr. Murphy :confused: :D

Good luck to all..I am heading out there in a few hours after some nice pool time...Waiting to see Jason's newest creation.

You got me by a year and a half, Gramps :D.

Are we having fun yet?

Doubles will begin around 2pm with Clayton, Nolan etc in the south parking lot near Hole 1. I may or may not be out there today but either Clayton, Jason or Ginetta can take your entry. (Don't give money to Nolan :D)

Please do not call and ask me to hold you a spot. If you want to play be out at the park this afternoon.

I have a players list Kid I am just not telling you. It will be a secret until Saturday morning :p

Back to work?

Chris

dang... there's no way i can be there before about 4:30. hopefully a spot will still be open at that time.

fingers crossed.............

Hey, baldguy, call me.

Glad to see you will be joining us Sandelman

someone needs to stop claydog

:eek:

For those of you headed out for doubles today.....DO NOT take I-20 coming from Dallas. The freeway has been shut down from 1382 all the way to 360 due to an officer being shot. I'm pretty sure it will be shut down for most of the day so find an alternate route.

someone needs to stop claydog

If that's the only reason you're showing up, Pat, don't bother... I got Claydog covered. :eek: :D

On second thought, show up anyway... the more, the merrier, as I'm discovering as a new OMB. What a fun division! :D

See y'all tomorrow!

how about an alternate route? where's the home town LOVE

If you are coming in from the west side of Arlington you are fine. If you are coming in from the East side just take I-30 instead of I-20. Exit Eastchase and go south (it will turn into Green Oaks). Then take a left on Arkansas and a right on Spanish Trail.

Now shut your arse biatch.....you're not even coming cause you're scared of the local boys :D:D:D

It was a mutiny, now it's looking like a conspiracy.

ware=skeert

Chris,
Myself as well as Dieter K. signed up on title-disc mid Thursday, and had not seen any new posts on the Z.T.10 website. Just wanted to make sure that we were in. Figured you just hadn't had a chance to get them on there yet.
I know how busy you are- thanx. :confused:

if you're coming from far southest, aka houston, take 287 across through waxahachie.

then again if you're coming that far, you've already left, so never mind

Hey Wood Chuck i got some whinne for ya!! Oh, Kevin will be there Sat. looking to get his disk back from you.
Chris also posted that he was not going to update the players list due to a bad ISP connection or some thing to that effect..

Gary-
Long time no see ya! Appreciate the update on the posts.
Thought you might like that (WHINE)!! :p
I'm sure Kevin will be looking for me, but what disc :D?
See ya there!!
Oh yea- finnaly got might first ACE. :o

Thanx,

Watts, the course isn't ready for you yet. It rained last week and " its too muddy,there's hills out there" and "its too hot" :D

In the famous words of Vinnie,,,

Gary, did you check with Chris yet ?

I am happy to say we are full for tomorrow. Somewhere in the vacinity of 170 players. I have a few jobs to do then I will post some more details.

Around 27 teams for doubles but not all the cards are in.

More soon...

Chris :cool:

Congrats Chris on one heck of a job!! Hope you fill everyone of 'em. We're celebrating a 14th birthday (Max's) this weekend or else we'd be there. Good luck and see you in Victoria for sure. :cool:

Thanks
Chris

Good times! thanks, Chris! Good to see y'all! See you in waco! I was told that my friends from Austin will come to waco. Now I have to take a long cold shower ... sunburn! Forgot to use my sunblock lotion.. Take care

Thanks Joey. Glad you had a fun time. Next time tell me when you are going swimming between rounds. Now who's house was it?

I am on the way to dinner. 185 people had a fun time. Lots more news soon.

Thanks for a great day.

Chris :D

great event, Chris... enjoy that dinner you sure earned it today. texas rules... hot and humid in the morning, lightning strikes on the course, 35 mph winds and downpour first 3 holes in the afternooon (sure wasted my time takin a shower at lunch), then back to hot n humid, wind changes 180 degrees twice by the time the day is over, Pizza God cashing...

congrats to Mr Tabor for putting a serious hurtin on the mm1's!

Yes, the Pizza God cashed today, (is it freezing yet?)

Now if I could only put 2 good rounds together in one day :D

Chris,
Would you post doubles results as well? I have a Rec friend that didn't play yesterday and I forgot to check the board for him.

Actually, I jumped in one of apartments' pool across from south course. :DJason, Gina, and the staffs did real good job! :cool:

where is everybody at ? another great t 10, first time it ever rained at a t 10 that i've been at :mad: still can't believe don and clay and pat let us whoop up on them on there home course :D;) all the disc golf clubs in texas can take lessons from ADGA !!!!!!!!!!!!! the place reeks of club money and club sweat :) :) chris you need to hang on to ginetta and jason. i know you hook em' up but in waco if it is alright with you i'll do a ctp for a c.e.firebird FX and 2003 c.e.roc plus whatever anyone else wants to contribute. maybe we can get enough to buy theirs and your dinner that night. plus gary duke... he also puts in a lot of time. jason that water the second round was from heaven ;) ;) but i do object to being forced to be nice to ginetta for a whole day :Dbut chris said pdga rules were being enforced and that was the instructions on every tee sign :D:Ddang it

yeah one stroke is a real whoopin, frankie :D

it was good to see ya back at the vet, and even better that you were able to finish the round this time! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Thanks, Chris, for another great ZT10. It was great having it at our home course. The showers and north breeze was Heaven sent.
I'm glad you decided to join us for our Sunday morning mini. See ya' in Denton.

Scores will be posted online later on today I am sure. Please be patient, if you wanted to know what happened you would have signed up earlier :D I am on the way north to Oklahoma and Gary is on the way back from Lubbock so we are all busy today.

Brian are you a Daddy yet?

Saturday was a great day for many reasons. 185 players enjoyed the day while almost as many (felt like it) were turned away. One day people will understand some simple concepts of paying early. If not that $25,000 Hole in One will be someone elses.

We started right on time as usual and were treated to some very warm and humid weather. The ever present winds at Veteran's were nowhere to be seen so the North Course should have played easier.

Rumor has it Jason "Wildflower" Chamberlain was getting all sorts of hand greetings on the North Course all day while driving around on the golf cart :D The wildflowers obvoiusly caused more trouble than anyone could have imagined. Picture this... a 200 foot shot over the OB wild flowers and people kept coming up short and OB? The hole prior to that was a 320 foot shot that coughed up a 4 circle OB 10 for some unlucky Adv Master.

Despite 185 players on the 2 courses the 1st round moved very quick and easy. I guess everyone wanted to get in to the shade and the beer tent. The round moved so quick I made a time judgement error on the lunch break. Most players enjoyed 2 hours of R&R during lunch. Some went swimming, some went to the bar, others just tried to come to terms with the wild flowers.

Round 2 started in very hot and humid conditions and still no wind. About 15 minutes into the round all that came to an abrupt halt. 3 1/2 years of good weather came to a head in seconds. From my vantage point in the Thunder I dove out of the office to save the tents etc. The wind had picked up from nothing to 40 mph plus in seconds. As we at HQ saved the tents, beer, food, and banners the players on the open North Course failed to save a shade tent. I hear that 4 grown men were almost thrust into the sky on the legs on a pop up tent. Hang on for your lives guys was the cry. We lost the tent, that now looks like anything but a tent.

In the mean time it was still just very strong winds and dark sky, no thunder or worse lighting near us. The storm was moving so quick I had an air horn on standby just in case. Jason and I decided on waiting a little to call the round. A little thunder and lots of wind was still okay. Then in one almighty BOOM the sky lite up, the thunder rocked the Thunder and I dove horizontal at the air horn to put a hold on the round. This was amazing!. Word has it that lightning had struck a fairway and then the skies dumped a large amount of rain on us. People went scurring for shelter all over the courses.

As quick as it hit, it also cleared. I went driving up to the North Course to let everyone know we would be starting up again in about 10 minutes. By the time I had made the rounds it was back to being clear skies and sunny. What's that saying about Texas weather?

All in all we lost about 30 minutes or so. Not bad I think considering the weather that hit.

The second round finished withn everyone in great spirits although very tired and worn out. Processing the scores would have been a little quicker if the REC and INT divisions would have realized they both had a tie for first. The cool trophies were on display and things were ready to come to a close. THe sky was clear and the wind was gone.

As I said complete scores will be online later today. For now it's time to pack the car and head north to see what's across the Red River. I will take some Texas beer with me to use as bargaining tools or as a translator. Mum and Dad if you call tonight and I am not answering call for help :D

Thanks again to all the staff, volunteers, sponsors and the weather man for a great weekend. 2 events in a row to fill with Waco next. Anyone want a bet?

See you all soon.

Great tourny Chris and volunters.

soorry, frank, i wont be there. T10's are great events to be sure, and chris does an amazing job. but living 15 minutes from the course and getting home at 9pm when the round finished at 5:30 is too much for me. maybe i would play if i knew i wouldnt kick your butt and have to wait in line so long for my payout :D/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D

What a great weekend.....185 players on the Vet, I never thought I would see that :D When I told Chris to make wildflowers OB on the holes on the North course I never thought it would be that big of an issue to most players, I just wanted to keep the powers that be happy by not having people standing or running up in the flowers. As I was driving the course during the first round I had several players tell me I was #1 with that universal sign language signal and then yell something about the wildflowers :D This was the joke of the day after that. I apoligize about the whole water mess the first round, by the time I realized that the water in the park was shut off, the round was fixing to start :mad: I took care of it as soon as I could. Thanks to everyone that came out and enjoyed the day at Vets. :D

BTW......the next ***** that steals beer out of my personal cooler right in front of me and the laughs about it when I say something is likely to get knocked out.....go buy your own :mad:

lets get one thing straight, those are not wild flowers they are weeds. and how do you go OB 4 times on one simple hyzer hole?

I couldn't agree more, but for some reason allot of parks think they are pretty. As for your last question......I have no idea :eek: :D

as for your personal beer, Jason... I guess since you guys were working so hard and there were so many coolers and beers around... the guilty party probably didn't realize that it was your personal cooler. still... i think whoever it was should owe you a sixer.

as for the wildflowers... i think if the pin on the 200' hole (#12?) was about 50 feet back, not so many people would have been OB. I went OB twice (!?!) on that hole. The first shot I was trying to park it with an aviar... hit the tops of the flowers and stopped. so now, I'm looking at a 4. I had to try and park it again, same result. ended up double-circle-7 which ruined an otherwise strong round. I'm certainly not placing blame. If I had played smarter, I would not have gone OB. If I had practiced the alternates that morning, I would have known how to throw that hole better... Alas, I am still an AM :-)

Jason, can I have a beer? :D

Sorry if it took a while to get paid out Pat. Sometimes things happen that are unavoidable. Have you ever tried to process 185 scores in 5 minutes? I had everyone's scores posted at lunch an hour before tee time. The second round also involves payouts, splits, ties and a bunch of computer work. The method we have to pay people is the best I can think of but with so many players it takes time. If anyone wants me to pre-package thier winnings please let me know, I am sure I can find some Lightning discs to get rid off.

As I said at the players meeting if people continue to signup late, and we have huge fields things will take time. We all have choices to make and you all know the one I gave if we don't get more volunteers and staff. Do the right thing by me and I will do my best for you. :)

Thanks again for everyone having a fun time in that little rain shower and lightning strikes on the course :)

If you dont' want the strokes, don't throw OB...real simple...everyone had to play the exact same holes, so it was fair for all.

One of the best TX10's I have played in yet...The Vet crew and club are simply impressive in what they do for their course.
