Your's especailly.....

:o

just tell her to take Friday off from work, but the new car then, and you can drive it to Burnet to break it in!

Tried that. She believes in going to work.....

whats the matter with that woman. Just go buy the car today after work...the dealers are open until 9.

Hey Mark...you playing anywhere tomorrow? I should be getting to town sometime late this evening...don't know if I'll have enough daylight for 9 holes or not but I'll definately be playing tomorrow.

Mark,
How much rain did Big B get with that storm the other night? Is the creek up? Did it flush some, (my), discs down stream? I had over 4" in Lago. There was water running over the new bridge on 10 at the Resort but it held steady.

The creek is up, but don't be scared. The course pro will be here to give you lessons.

Next?

Can you say double digits? PPS will strike with all it's might on Saturday. :cool:

The big question is will Vinnie loose his sponsorship? Will Atwood get the call from Discraft? Will Gateway come to the bargaining table?

Bring it mate, I got a little left over I saved just for you.

Oh, gotta go. Phone's ringing. What's this? A "K. Murray" on the caller I.D.? I better take this call.

Probably calling to tell you if you miss that much he would like you not to use Discraft putters. :D

I finally made it to Burnet and EXPerienced their course. From Austin it is a scenic drive that will take you about an hour. I only played the course with a roc and an EXP. And this course will require many different shots to beat this course. The course has dirt tee boxes and tee signs that help you navigate a fairly easy course to follow. This is located around a Rec center that has many activates to enjoy from a RV park, in town amenities, a future pavilion to music piped across the grounds. A creek runs through the course making for a must accurate shot. The course is not a long course, but with the creek and I suggested creative O.B would make for a very challenging course. Many of the holes have natural fairways that have many options to take a risk and get rewarded. There is some elevation and many options to find water. The REC center and city are very engaged in the idea of a well maintained 18 holes course. As it is now there are only 9 holes and plenty of quality land to extend to an 18 hole lay out. The things I see that need improvement is the two creek crossings, which I have been told are being considered for bridges. And hole #2 (a wee hole) needs some irrigation and a safer path to the hole. The city and the course are inline to run a P.D.G.A. tournament that could easily become one of the must schedule for all you Texas boys.
"till next time see you in the middle of the fairway!"

Good review Vinnie. I think #2 would be very interesting if it were terraced. Maybe a couple of 2' retaining walls.

Thanks Vinnie. I'm very glad that you enjoyed the course as I enjoyed the company.

It was nice that the first time you got to see it was in all its glory with everything green and water in Hamilton Creek. I'm like a proud poppa, since that course and getting it in the ground, is what got me into disc golf in the first place.

Now, bring your whole bag next time and come get that $50 bounty for a new course record. :)

Mr.Atwood, you have missed your chance to whoop this Rec. player. I have gone into Retirement. I might come out just to take you on though! :D

Retirement? Did I miss something?

C'mon Case, don't be afraid. :)

Hey Mark. I"m going to head out to the course about 11 if you want to get in a few rounds.

Retirement? Did I miss something?

C'mon Case, don't be afraid. :)



just like the chains you miss it :eek:

Yesterdays Results
18 Holes
Mark Atwood - even par (won in playoff)
Vinnie Miller - even par

Today's Results
18 Holes
Chris Himing - 10 under
Mark Atwood - 3 under
Doug Sullivan - 1 over

Had a go at the double digits win, maybe tomorrow. Mark played a good round to shoot 3 down in strong wind. Only one missed comeback putt.

Mark "straddle" Atwood...go pro :cool:

Thanks
Chris :cool:

Chris, where was that game Wednesday ? just kidding!!
I had a great time , mabey next time eh? ;)

Mark, Dam get this guy wired with a little smack talk and WOW the man learns how to putt. good job, You better save some for San Saba :eek:

I speak for mysel and not Randall here Mark ." VIVA THE REBELUTION" I still think they are going to hand you all a big old a** whopping!!! :D

Not gonna make Burnet Durnit. Sorry Mark- brews will have to wait.

Sorry to hear that we're not gonna get to see ya Josh. Be sure to get out here soon to see the course and play a round with me.

As for the brews, I'm not sure about those. I'm worried that if I accept beer for beating a Pro, that I won't be able to retain my amatuer status.


:D

Well, Thunder is here and Justin just rolled into town about an hour ago. I hope some Pros come out in the morning and give these boys somebody to play with. I'd hate for them to have to walk off the course being beaten just by a lowly Am. :)

See y'all in the morning. :)

Justin? As in Kerr?

Yes, he took 1st in pro today but coudn't top Himing's shot from the parking lot into.....well it might be better not to say.

Yes Danny, JK was here (still is), and shot a smokin' -11 and was griping that it should've been a -16! :)

I went back to playing like an Am for a day, but I'll be back.

We had 5 Pros, 4 Int. and 3 OMB's.

I'll post the scores in a little bit, as soon as I relax a little. I was supposed to head outta town, but as soon as we were finished playing and left the park, a nasty storm rolled in and I ain't goin' nowhere. :)

JP rallies to bet 'No Game' MA by one in OMB. :DShooting under par is tough with all of the circles on the score card. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

hey Chris, what were those putters you were using? I never did go and fish my aviar out of the creek so I guess I need to hunt down a few of those to replace it with.

Doug

Hey has anyone found my 2 discs in the creek? a blue aroura, and a tie dye qjls? :confused:

Just wanted to say that I had a visit from a couple of Live Oakers yesterday, who got to see our little birdie course with teeth.

I'll let them tell ya what they thought, but I just wanted to say thanks to the Brothers Karshis for stopping by on their way through and playing a fun round of golf with me.

I'll have an update on a timeline for the other 9 soon so, as usual...STAY TUNED! :)

Hey Mark, what happened to #8? I just came back from the course and they are putting in a road right where the basket used to be.

Nothing to worry about there Doug. What's happening is there is an LCRA retention area being put in the fairway of #8. According to the LCRA, the hole won't be permanently affected. The rention "pond" won't actually hold any water, but will instead catch the runoff from the ballfields and the RV park. There will be drain lines underneath it and everything it catches will drain into the creek. When they have it finished, they will plant grass and landscaping bushes back on the fairway and it will look better than ever. The basket will probably be moved about 25' or so to the right up on a high spot. The little dirt road that's there is a temporary one for construction.

Never fear. I'm on it. :)

Don't get me wrong, I'm not happy about it, but it will all get worked out and we'll still be able to have a hole there. Hopefully it will look even better than before with the landscaping.

hmm...maybe I'm an idiot but wasn't that sloped enough already so that everything already ran to the creek? That's LCRA for you...spending our tax dollars for something that happens naturally

oh a different note...we need to get out and play like every day next week getting ready for Waco. I'll be in town all week...we can even go in and hit some of the Austin courses. Goodness knows I need all the help I can get!

hmm...maybe I'm an idiot but wasn't that sloped enough already so that everything already ran to the creek? That's LCRA for you...spending our tax dollars for something that happens naturally



No, you're not an idiot and yes they are wasting tax dollars to do something wholly unecessary. But you know that around here, the LCRA is the 400lb. gorilla. :)

As for playing, call me and we'll go or I'll holla at ya at your folks house. I would love to get in a few rounds out there in practice for Waco and even take you out to Circle R Wimberley for your first time on those courses. :D

sounds good to me. I'll give you a call monday sometime to figure things out.

Slowmo_1 loves Burnet and the Burnet thread. He's from Houston.

Whats up Markus, had a great time at Lago the past two weekends and the ace sure eased a pretty bad round last weekend. The retention pond is being added at your course to protect the creek from silt build up and silt runoff from every thing down stream. I'm sure it seems like a waste of money but will benefit the course in the long run. The silting of our waterways is a major problem and if it can be helped by retention ponds bring em on. These have become a standard pain in the *** for all our new developments so I'm quiet familar with them. Keep up the good work Mark.

Hey Ricky, as always thanks for the support and thanks for the retention pond explantion.

As it has been explained to me, it will be turned into a beautiful little area in the middle of our fairway. Its just a minor and temporary inconvenience right now.

I sure hope we don't have to change that hole up too much though. It was the most natural and challenging fairway we had on the course. I would've like a little more communication with the City and the LCRA, but I'm used to it. I've had to be a huge pest to get anything done out there.

The City is slowly starting to get on board though, since its obvious even to our skeptics now that the disc golf course gets more use than anything outdoors out there except possibly the ballfields.

Hope to have the other 9 in soon. We'll keep y'all updated.

Updated weather report for the Big B:


RAIN UNTIL THE END OF THE F'N WORLD. Immediately following the world's end, there will be a 1 round mini.


AARRRRGGGGG!!!!!!!! Its never gonna freakin' stop!


Just to update, all planned activities at the Burnet course are on temporary hold.

Hole #8 is currently out of the ground so that a retention pond can be built and we're still waiting to get into the new land to design part of the next 9.

I hope to have the full course up and running by August.

The 8 holes that are in the ground look better and greener than ever and the city is mowing it like crazy.

I'm gonna go see my old buddies at the city council at a meeting in July to try and ask that all this work be expedited and just to say hi. I'll keep y'all apprised of our progress.

I guess that means I wont have to worry about them draining the creek and getting my discs back in this lifetime. :(

hey mark, when you planning on a mini at your course? im sure we can comr up with temp baskets to temporarily replace the one removed!!!

As I said above, Efrain, all planned activities are on hold out there for right now.

A temp basket isn't a problem (I do have some), but the fairway of #8 is pretty much unplayable when its even partially wet, since its nothing but muddy clay right now.

I'm trying to get the city to expedite this work so we can get back on track. But, its hard to ask people to drive out here to play a mini on an 8 hole course.

Hopefully, all 18 will be in the ground in a couple of months and we can start having some real fun on what I hope will be one of the most fun courses in Central Texas.

Of course, if you wanna come out here and play the 8 we've got, I'd love to have ya out.

hey hey!! you are back up to three stars.

see! people really do love you. :D

Was I down to two? I didn't notice. Eegads! The sheer embarrassment of it all may stop me from posting.


On second thought, maybe I should start a campaign to push me to a 5-star guy. :)

Vote for the Rev. in '04! Vote with your stars! C'mon, let's get behind a 5-star candidate that everyone can hate equally.

And now, from the good news/bad news department.

Good News:
A new hole #8, albeit altered, should be in the ground within 2-3 weeks. The LCRA is talking like they don't want the original position, because they feel it would interfere with their retention pond landscaping, but a new hole is a priority for the city, as is the finishing of the pond project.

Bad News:
(And this is making me sick) The other 9 holes may be put on hold until Spring '05. I won't post the details yet, since its possible they could change their minds, but optimism is low. Who knows, living next door to a councilman may finally come in handy. :)

Possible Good News:
Not letting any grass grow under my feet in a desire to get a quality 18-hole course in the area, I've been speaking with the City of Marble Falls and they are receptive. More details as I get them, but it looks like my course design resume may get an expansion. :)

Just in case anyone within driving distance is reading this, I'm headed out to the Big B course for a couple hours of practice.

Man, its a crying shame that #8 is gone. The course is in the best shape ever, otherwise. Green, mowed, cleared, cleaned. Crying shame I tell ya.

well how did practice go?

It went fine, thanks. If you're betting on Girlie, your money's on the wrong horse, hoss. :)

Putted well, threw solid upshots, the flick and the turnover were working and I didn't even see the creek. :)

You sure you played burNETTE?

:D

No, I played Burnet. I'm not sure where Burnette is.


:mad:

:D

I'm looking for camping sites close to disc golf courses for my annual birthday camping trip. What is the status of the Burnet course? Is it still available for play? Any changes to the course recently made or any planned?

I was out motorcycling last Sunday and ened up in Burnet and went by there. Number 8 is still out but the other holes looked okay. It was mowed and playable but there were no players.
Have you thought of camping at Arkansas Bend Park on Lake Travis? It is in the Lago Vista area which has an 18 hole and a 9 hole course.
JP

It's on my list of places to check out. I'm trying to find a combination of a state park and a disc golf course in reasonable proximity. Last year it was Bastrop state park and Moody's.

Circle R2 in San Saba has camping and more golf than you can get to. JP

San Angelo has camping at the disc golf course...it's not a state park, but it's a city run park on the lake. There is also a new 9 hole course in town at Brentwood park(maybe 15 minutes away).

You were in the big B and didn't stop by to say HI?!?!

The nerve!

:)

BTW, I went out there a week or so ago for the first throws I've had since T10 Finals in '04. There were two guys playing out there, who were not together.

I stopped and waited for one of them, a young guy, who said he was from Houston and played Moffitt mostly. A reformed Ultimate player, if I remember. I knew he wasn't from Burnet when I saw him almost overthrow #5...nobody in Burnet has that kind of arm. :)

Thanks!

hey marky!! how far is burnet from cedar park? and driving directions?? :D

25-35 mins 183to seward junction go west on Hwy 29 30 plus miles to Burnet. Left (south) on Hwy 281 (3rd light from city limit) a couple of miles to the rec center. Go around to the back. 1st tee by the NE corner of that lot.

sounds like a future road trip !! any one down??

Holla at me Eman. I'll give ya the nickel tour.

Next Thursday I'll be giving a little class (stop laughing dammit!) for the kids at the Boys and Girls Club out there. It'll be nice to be thinking about golf again, even if it'll only be for a couple of hours.

Maybe I can beat those lil' bizznatches! :)

(stop laughing dammit!)



Wow, he heard me... :)

To be honest, I really did almost type "stop laughing dammit, TB." :D

rotflmfao!!!! go get em mark!! thats just hilarious !! :D

Could you give a big class on a weenie-armed (creek-infested) course? :)

Glad to see you getting back into these things.

Not getting back into anything. Its something I said I'd do last year, and now we're doing it. Should be fun though. Wish I had enough scruples to feel bad about beating a bunch of kids. ;)

I don't think beating a bunch of kids is something you should spend too much time worrying about. If by some strange series of events it happens, just live with it.

It's not very likely so it will be like an accident... :cool:

But seriously, let me know how you fair against them in 6 months and we'll see how good a teacher you are.

I played burnet last year while we were at the boat races in marble falls. It was a fun little course. We will probably drive up again this year while we are there. Well worth the drive up form marble falls. Hopefully the missing basket will be back by then?

I hope to have it back in soon. To be honest, I kinda got fed up with the city and them constantly putting me off on putting in the rest of the course (the other 9), but they called the other day and wish to discuss the redesign of #8 and, sadly, #7.

I'll keep you guys updated.

Oh, and Gary, I seem to be having trouble remembering things these days. Exactly how well did you fare on our little birdie course with teeth?

(Consider the above sarcasm applicable to Bender as well.)

Sadly I was a few strokes less fortunate than you.

BTW is that patio covered yet ?

No, and a bad storm we had a while back, that came up very quickly, destroyed that awesome awning. :(

Right now, improvements on Casa de Martyr have been suspended as we wrestle with the decision of whether or not we're moving to the thriving metropolis of Llano. :)

Sorry to hear that, did Ciera enjoy it while it lasted ?

Yes she did, very much. We all did. Thank you.

We have come up with a more permanent patio solution that involves 4x4 posts and fiberglass. We may do that relatively soon if we don't move first.

Anyone wanna buy a nice 3 br house in the hill country? :)

Sounds like that course record of -8 in 9 holes will stay for a while longer. Not that I was worried with Atwood playing it all the time. :D

all the reason for a road trip!! :D

Sounds like that course record of -8 in 9 holes will stay for a while longer.



Yes, you have the course record.

You also have the distinction of throwing the worst and weakest golf shot I have ever seen by anyone who has played more than twice, during that otherwise memorable round.

Care to tell the class about that? ;)

Hole 1 - weakest throw in history. Less than half way down the 220 foot fairway. Layup for the easy 3.

Hole 2 to 9 - proceed to destroy the course with 8 straight birdies.

Class dismissed. :D

Now you are threading in places you should not go.

Shall the Deacon be forced to travel to the hill country and show you the error of your ways ?

(ID resurrected just for you).

I want some of this!! lets play boys!!! :D:D

Bum bum BUUUUUUUMMMMMMMM

The_Right_Reverend_A_Slim

Don't make me......

P.S. The Rev ain't skeert of no Deac or Eman on his own course. The Aussie gets respect by virtue of his record. V-man, well, just ask him. ;)

You best be careful picking on the Deac, He'll mess you up.

I seen it before.

Deac?!?! Mess me up!?!?

Okay Gin (nice nick, BTW) put down the glass **** and slowly back away. Crack Kills. Try to remember that. :)

Well, you're just making all kinds of new friends.

Maybe I can hit you up after the Media Blitz. If my arm is still attached to my body after that round, at least I'll have a built in excuse if you come out on top again.

I say that you should make it out, and bring Gin and Deac with you. I'll take all three of you to school. :)

There's no way you could handle all three of us at once.

'Course it would be tough keeping track of who had the box.

<font color="yellow"> There's your opening, jump right in. </font>

Not really. Box order won't be a problem for me. After I tee off on every hole, then y'all can Duke it out.

What's the wager ?

Are you sure you have the authority to negotiate for all three of you?

No cash could change hands, unless it was changing from your hand to mine. Public humiliation, like an avatar or sig change, is about all I can afford.

Of course, when it comes to my golf game, public humiliation is **** near redundant.

I was merely speaking for myself, I don't associate with those other persons. :cool:

I'm sure I could come up with something interesting for an avatar if I lose.

I think if you lose, you should just wear one of those fashionable t-shirts you guys love so much. The one that mentions something about beating me?

A few cheap iron on letters on the back saying, "...But I didn't" should do the trick.

Just where and for how long ?

And what would you be putting up that would anywhere close to the same value ?

haha!! thats great !! :D

I'm sure I could pick the skirt up when I'm in Kentucky.

kentucky , you going to BG??

Yes, I'll be in Bowling Green and I think I could arrange for the skirt to be in Bowling Green as well.

Of course, when it comes to my golf game, public humiliation is **** near redundant.



:D True... but I'm all for redundancy! :D
:D True... but I'm all for redundancy! :D

I'll bring The Skirt to Kentucky, BUT you guys HAVE to make him WEAR IT!!! (Like I couldn't the first time, but if he ever gives me another shot - it's shaved legs for MarkA ;))

There it is, I'll even get a shirt made up that says in large letters "I've Never Beaten Mark Atwood".

and in really small letters "on his home course".

Good Gary, Real Good! :cool: :o:D:o:cool:

By my count, just knowing the skirt is in the same state will add 3-4 strokes to his score.

OK, no wager, forget I mentioned anything about the skirt. I didn't realize the severe trauma just mentioning it would cause you.

I'll just drop by for a round of fun competition. You there ?

You didn't scare me off, I haven't been able to look at the board for days.

I'm considering your offer of the wager.

Right now all I'm considering is blasting outta here for the rest of this freakin' gorgeous day and going to play golf. :)

It hardly seems fair that Mark should accept a challenge from just a couple of players. It seems only right that if Mark is going to play a wagered round that it should be open to any and all comers. Furthermore, it seems that the wager should be that if Mark comes in DFL he should agree to wear the "skirt." It also seems appropriate that something of this much entertainment value should cost a nominal fee, say $10. Then, all of the proceeds could be used to accomplish something important, say... support of The RRAS foundation who's sole purpose is the elimination of debt for retired third world disc golf organizers - or some such.

I'd pay $10 to see Mark in a skirt.

I'd pay $10 to see Mark in a skirt.


You're a sick man. :cool:

Just wanted to share a couple of things with y'all (for our Texican impaired Aussie friend, that means "you all"). :)

I was out at the course today teaching a group of kids from the Boys & Girls Club about disc golf. It was a blast to watch them play and hear their questions and see their reactions. Reminded me that this sport is supposed to be fun.

Also, before the kids got there, I talked to the director of the rec center. He said we're ready to start laying out the rest of the course and they're going ahead and ordering the other nine baskets. Wow, only took about six years. Maybe by the time good summer weather gets here, we'll have a fun, challenging and pretty full 18 to play in the Big B.

That's good news about the city's interest in the course, Mark.

Where in Burnet is the course located? I never spent much time directly in the city, but used to drive Hwy 29 from N. Austin area out to Llano quite a bit, so I'm vaguely familiar with the terrain.

Sounds great Mark. :DWhere you gonna put to old taken out hole?
Bam Bam, the course is just off of 281 behind the rec center near the airport. Better directions up thread.
JP

This is falling by the wayside.

Mark, are we still one for the 17th ?

Sunday, April 17th. I'll be there. You best bring your game because I'm...I'm....ah, screw it. I got nothing. :)

But yeah, definitely come out to the Big B for a round and a visit.

Don't really get to see folks anymore due to work and geography.

Probably as much as you know about grammar.... :o

You're...

Late...

Just thought I'd let you guys know about this.

Last year I asked for some disc donations for the Boys and Girls Club. They had wanted to start playing golf at the Burnet course. That was really before the club here was up and running, as they were still using only the club in Marble Falls.

Well, they told me to hang on to them, although we did use them with a couple of groups, until they could get their program up and running in Burnet.

Well, I'm about to leave the house for the regular Friday Disc Golf Day of the Burnet Boys and Girls Club. It is now a regular part of their summer program.

I counted up all those donated discs, plus went through a lot of my old ones that I don't use anymore (as if I use any of them, right?), and I'm taking a box of 108 discs with me to hand over to the club today.

Big thanks to all who gave and remember that when you pass the game on to a kid, you strengthen the whole sport.

Good to hear....I have been asked to do the same in Lakeway again this year.
Keep up the good fight

Anybody know if the hole that was gone August of last year is back? Seems like I read a while back that this course may be extended to a full 18 has that been done yet?

I am going to be at the boat races in Aug. and wanted to go play a round on the friday. Just wanted to know if there were 9 baskets now or still 8, or possibly 18.

thanks

I think last time I was there I saw 8

As of a month ago there was only 8 baskets. # 8 is still pulled. :cool:JP

Hole 8 was there, so all 9 baskets are in.

FYI - The Big B is ALL IN! WooHoo!!!!

All 18 baskets are planted, and it only took me 6 years of red tape, fundraising, fighting city hall and p-a-t-i-e-n-c-e.

Now, before you fill up your tanks at $3/gal. and make the trek to Burnet, there are a couple of things I need to alert everyone too.

First, tee placements for the new holes have not been marked yet, and the city has not bought the other 9 signs that they owe us. They will, I'll make sure of it, but I can't say exactly when. What I can say is that this weekend if at all possible, Amie and I will hopefully get to spend some time out there marking tees.

Secondly, some of the new holes are in the long awaited acquisitioned property behind #4 and #5, and will require some clearing of brush before they are easily playable. I know that won't stop some people from playing them, but they won't play the way I've designed them until this clearing is done. So, don't fall in love with any of those lines just yet, because they WILL change slightly.

And lastly, and this is the real bummer, for now there are two holes that are complete crap, with a third that was far less than optimum. This was necessary because the State, due to the grant process, will not allow any part of the Rec Center project to be on any land that is not contiguous with the property. After Texas Parks & Wildlife's inspection of the property and the release of the final check, we will be allowed to move around onto the land on the other side, underneath the railroad bridge, where I had originally designed what will be two, maybe three, of the best and most scenic holes of the entire course. As for when that will be, all I can say is soon. The final TP&W inspection was supposed to be last month, so maybe even real soon.

That's the news for now. As always, I'll keep you guys up to date on the project. After 4 years to get the first 9 in, I'd say this final phase is moving at lightning speed. LOL :)

good to hear Mark, keep up the good work!! :D

You Go Mark!! Patience and persitance does pay off! :DJP

Just wanted to say thank you to Des Reading for allowing me to add a multiple time World Champ to the growing list of top pros who I've had the pleasure and good fortune to beat on my home course. :)

She and Jay and Thunder came out for a fun round of the original 9 +1.

It was great to see you guys and to show you around the "Birdie Course with Teeth" today.

I can't believe I blew my best ever chance to beat Himing, but he got me in the last couple of holes...as usual. :(

Enjoyed it guys. Have a fun vacation.
