**** , Ben lighting it up!! :D

Come play the mini today. Pease will be 18 holes now. I'll
finish marking the tee posts this morning before we tee off. I hope everyone enjoys it. We will miss throwing from the street on #8 and #9. The upside is....we will make strides in improving our relationship with the city. They would we be happy that we are not traveling up and down and we have eliminated some of the worst hazards to pedestrians.

Making good relations with the city is much more important than 21 holes. This was/is a good idea for Pease anyway.

really, can't wait to play it!!

Pease mini tees at 5:30pm again this week. We are 18 holes permanent now. So far the course is flowing better with the changes. Come check it out and let us know what you think. So far...the casuals at Pease seem to resist the change back to 18 but say they like it when they have finished their round. We'll see...

Hey V. Come play the mini tonight. I promise we'll make sure you leave with your golf bag this time :). The new #1 and #7 are in for the permanent 18.

lol
I may just do that

is tonight $ 10 and $ 1?

yes it is!! for open!!

I'll be taking a bunch of COTO flyers down there today so you can pick yours up at the mini.

Only 1 month away now from an excellent tournament! :D

Sign up soon so you don't miss out.

SCORES??? :p

the best score was -8 I think

Yo darkhorse where are you from? south Texas is real big? the Valley?

ah....you don't know.
That feller dreams of beating me.Lives in Austin and talks with his hands :D

i think rick johnson won adv. with a -2..

South Texas he cracks me up :D:D From PHARR!! TEXAS!!

Is Pharr Texas near West Texas, cause that's a long way away. Is Garfield a cartoon cat or a refuge for outlaws. Why was it a chicken ranch in LaGrange?

Pharr is far from here :Dit's next to McAllen, Pharr is 8 miles from Mexico, right along HWY 281 & 83. James it's only 45 minutes from South Padre.

South Texas.

Just south of Edinburg ;)

anyone throw a roller on new hole 7??

No north of Hildago west of San Juan, east of McAllen.

what time is the mini today ? :confused:

10:00

Pease mini tees at 5:30pm again this week. They are 18 holes permanent now. I hope to try and get some entry forms to Dave for the Flying Solo tourney

you playin today?

No problem CW, we have entry forms at the shop. Moody runs a 3:27:00 in Boston Marathon Monday! Not a PR but considering the heat it was an awesome run. Huge crowds and nearly 20,000 runners. Off for Irish pubs today:). Have fun at the mini, out.

After the mini tonight,come on over to Waterloo Ice House on West 38th & Medical Parkway for the Waterloo Club meeting. It starts at 7 pm but the meetings usually last about 1 1/2 - 2 hours. You can also get one of the cool COTO Fundraiser discs and/or sign up for COTO.

awessome dave ,, good to hear!!

want too.. need to get some revenge on that course from Saturday.

If anyone would like to donate some yellow rope/line please bring it to the mini Saturday. We will begin experimenting/marking the OB lines along the creek soon. We also need some sizeable horseshoe nails to steady the line.

anyone know what the best score has been on the new layout?? just curious!! :D

Not really cause I havnt played it yet :D

I heard last night that Alex Downs just shot the new record in the mini.

10 under

About 10 minutes later, Dagon yelled happily as he hit a putt on #18 because he thought (just thought) he just made the course record at 9 under. Alex kindly burst his bubble :D

Congrats guys on some great shooting!

From Moody...


Come to celebrate Eyores Birthday Party in Austin's Pease Park on April 30th. Austin has had this great festival for over 40 years now! In the past some of our mini-tournment players have walked down to enjoy all that Eyores offers after finishing their morning round. Kevin Roberts, the original designer of Austin Discourse used to hold a tournament at this same time. In that spirit we will have the regular mini on that Saturday with some fun additions. Probably some temps holes since we shut down the hill(a,b,c) for Eyores, CTP's, raffle, and complimentary beverages. Someone please contact me if you want to cook breakfast tacos before tee off. Subject to interest we will raffle an entry or two for the upcoming Captial of Texas Open! More news....as we make it up . :D

Any one Knowing how to get in touch with Mark Macrimmon PLEASE Pm me ASAP..... Thank you

check your PMs, chris..

As we did not have a mini on Eyores....I will make sure that I am at the park bright and early this Saturday. All you COTO players that are not going to WACO come on down and get some practice in. Depending on the numbers, I'll go get some refreshments after the tee off:). :)

The last mini before coto!! get yer :D :Dand beer and be there!!

course is looking good.

I think it is hole 12 now (old 15)...When I walked up to the tee pad and looked ahead and saw what appeared to be mowed or weedeated grass I was amazed at how good it looked. That was really cool the course is looking alot better. I've never seen it like that. I heard Dion did a bunch of work out there... Thank You Dion!

Come get some more at Pease. Tee off at 5:30 on Tuesdays.
Ace pot is over 200.

will the rope still be there?

what rope??? :D:D

Hey Dave, Do you still have any COTO starfires left over ? If so, how many do you have ? By the way, are those dyes, or inncolor disc's, just wondering if they will take a beating or not.

what rope? is funny salazar. i was a proud member of the first card to drive #11 w/ NO OBs Sun morning at COTO. That's about all I have to brag about from that weekend UGH! :p

From Dave Moody


All amateur divisions are invited to join us at Pease on Mondays for a FUN round of random doubles. $5.00 per player paid out in discs. This will start June 27th and continue through July. As long as folks are having fun with it, it will continue. Tee off at 5:30pm

Lost and Found KC eagle. if anyone finds a KC eagle with the words "Traded not stolen or something" or something to that effect it is a guys up here at works. I thin kit has Atwood's name on it as well. there is alot of writing on the edge. Can someone look in the lost and found for me?

First I've heard of the Monday doubles...this still on for today? If so, I might have to sneak out of the office a little early and try to make it over to the park.

Is it just a single division? Or separated by Pro/Am?

Rooster,
It starts today.

It's amateurs only. Dave said it would probably be by division. All the advanced, intermediates and recs in separate doubles divisions.

Is two minis a week at Pease not enough? We were very careful at Twin Parks not to schedule a mini on the same day as any other local courses. That being said, any pros (or anyone else for that matter) who want to play on Mondays, come out to the club. Tee off at 6:30. We now have all the solar lights in on the bottom course, and the pool table was delivered today. We will also begin hosting poker games immediatly following our Monday minis. Good luck, Dave, we hope to see you out here whenever you can free up some time.

No 2 a week is not enough, he should have a mini everyday of the week except Wed. When did there become a mini scheduling conflict? :confused:

Honestly, I don't think a mini at Dripping Springs really conflicts with a mini at Pease; or a mini at Round Rock conflicts with the mini at Bart. However, all these minis conflict with people that have 7:30 - 5:30 jobs. :p

No 2 a week is not enough, he should have a mini everyday of the week except Wed. When did there become a mini scheduling conflict? :confused:


Just curtousy. Nobody's offended here, and no offense was intended towards Dave, Pease, or anyone affiliated with it. We're not asking anyone to change their dates. I love Pease Park, and Dave's always been cool with me, and supportive of the club. It just seems that if too many minis start to overlap, it hurts both courses' numbers.

there will never be too many minis!!!! :Dwe are so fortunate , we have OPTIONS!!!!!!! :D:D

Corey I have to appreciate your approach to this- very diplomatic. I can see where you are coming from- and I have not made a TPCC Monday mini yet- but I know the minis I do go to (shut up Ware) there are plenty of players to make it worthwhile....IMHO with all the great things going on at TPCC, the attendence will continue to grow!!

(shut up Ware

HUH what I say :D;)

Is two minis a week at Pease not enough? We were very careful at Twin Parks not to schedule a mini on the same day as any other local courses.




I didn't take any offense to that statement nor do I feel there is any conflict of minis. Truth of the matter is you can hold a mini whenever you want. TPCC could of done this a long time ago, maybe you did and I didn't hear about it. Efrain is right "lots of options". It kinda came off as whinning about minis to me and still reads that way when I read it over again. I'm not trying to bust chops here, but why say that?

http://pictureposter.allbrand.nu/pictures/nefertiti0501/devil+smoking.gif

:p

[quote TPCC could of done this a long time ago, maybe you did and I didn't hear about it.

[/QUOTE]

We have been doing these mini's on Monday nights since April 7th when there was nothing else on Monday nights.

Too many options are not always a good thing. Just look at all the tournaments this year and the lower turnouts. (Don't turn this thread into that argument :D)

No worries either way, its good that people are talking about it.

Now Moody get your butt out here and I will show you around.

Chris :cool:

Your right Chris we won't turn this thread into an argument about too many options at PDGA sanctioned events. One question though are you handing out IOU's at your minis?

do not forget about the mini at Searight on Mondays :D...let us see now...(3)on Monday (1)on Tuesday (2)on Wednesday (2) on Thursday (1)on Friday (1)on Saturday and (2)on Sunday...wow I think we need a chart or something

Actually, Searight moved Monday minis to Saturday afternoon.

so Tuesday and Friday are the only days with one mini...see, we need a list of times and places...and Jeff that was cheap shot(funny,but cheap none the less) :o

[QUOTE]
It kinda came off as whinning about minis to me and still reads that way when I read it over again. I'm not trying to bust chops here, but why say that?


Not whinning, bro, just expressing my opinion. While options are good...Which is better, more tournis with less turnouts and lower pots, or less tournis with bigger pots and more compitition. Just how I feel. I think I've said my pease on this matter, no pun intended /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Anyway, hope to see you guys this weekend, it'll be a blast. Our first glow mini will be at 9:00 Sunday night, with FREE BEER!!

There is probably more mini's than mitch has listed!! wells branch , circ c, RR on sundays (including lago once a month)!! san marcus , kitty , zilker on thurs!! Its great to have so many options!!! :Dif you want retention do leagues with cash incentives!!! :D

Where and when is the Saturday mini? I might be up North tomorrow!

pease 10am!! :D

Joel Kelly shoots -11 at Pease during the Saturday mini! Wow. We think a perfect game is now a -13. Joel did have one bogey. We had an unannounced player appreciation day Saturday as well, frosties for the players after the round. Maybe we'll redo that this coming Saturday. If the turnout is strong I'll go up to Bongos for a microbrew keg.

-11...wow Joel, good shootin.

A 43 is just plain STUPID!!! Joel Kelly is now my hero.

for real , i wonder what he missed!! thats simply great golf!!

Like I posted earlier in the week. Come on down to the mini at Pease. If the turnout is strong we will have a microbrew keg. Just another attempt at a player appreciation day :cool:

wow, good shooting joel!

hey, i need to contact joel about something.... anyone know how to get him? thanks in advance...

AND he had a 4!!!

Come on out to Pease Tuesday for the regular 5:30pm mini. We may have a visitor from Finland in the Adv div. Am's that play on Sat. am, show up on Tuesday also. The last few Tuesday we have had around 15 Advanced and no Am's. Then on Saturday we almost flipped it with a bunch of Ams and 6 Adv. Come one, come all.

Oops. Almost forgot to post about the all Am doubles this evening at Pease. I thought it was Tuesday already :confused: I'll be running the dubs tonight so come on down and bring me a coldie Ric :cool: I have your KC eagle with me.

Play the mini at Pease this Saturday. The pro shop just updated it's concession permit with the Parks Dept for another six months, hooray! Wasn't sure we were going to make it this time. It's always tough this time of year. Thanks to everyone that has supported us this summer.

Octoberfest entry forms will be available at the minis at Pease or any other time you want to stop by the shop. Should be a fun tournament out in the country. Vigil has already committed to a massive fireworks show if its not to dry.

Hey Dave what time you guys start today 5:30? and what is the tuesday ace pot at? thanks

Come down to the Sat mini at Pease. Always looking for some new blood to shake things up. Some of the best competition in town will be there. Come show us what you've got. Tee at 10:00am.

Hey Dave, could you bring my P.A. system to the park with you sometime soon (week or so)? I'll have my drummer in Austin come pick it up.

I'm playing in a band again, and we'll be playing weekend dates and dives in ATX pretty soon. Southern Rock mostly cover band called Vagabond. Nothing serious (those days are waaaaay behind me) but we'll be good and have a lot of fun.

Let me know what day you can bring it with ya and I'll have him swing by and get it.

I'll also let you guys know when and where you can come check us out.

Thanks, Mark

LMAO....Oh Hell your singing agian Mark. I thought the devil gave you your soul BACK if you would stop !!!! :o

JK.. are you covering any VH? I just got two old song never before heard ( well on the air ) these date back PRE-VAN HALEN .. before they broke out into the public, and they rock!!!
I will have to find a way to get them to ya.

I'm finally back on the thread. Come on out to today's Tuesday mini at Pease. It should be Peaseful :). Last week Mike Olse shot a 46, Suda 47, and Joel 48. Not too shabby. Everyone that would like to hear Mark's new band in Red Rock for the Octoberfest weigh in on the Octoberfest thread. Nothin' like Southern Rock in the country.

Bill, I don't think and VH would fit into what we're doing. I've done the original recording artist thing, the metal cover band thing, the country thing, hell, even the acoustic folk thing.

Now, I'm gonna have some good-timin' fun and we have assembled some true southern redneck rocker types (one of which is an Aussie, if you can believe that) and that's the only kind of music we'll be doing. Played our first little practice 5-song set at a little club in Austin on Friday and after only two rehearsals, sounded really good. But alas, No VH.

Dave, 'preciate the invite. I'll talk to the boys and we'll see what we can work out.

Later.

Oh yeah...Play October Fest!

So maybe a little Molly Hatchet is in order for the band? "I'm travelin' down the road and I'm flirtin' with disaster...." Ah, I can hear it now

Hatchet, Outlaws, Blackfoot, Skynyrd, ABB (my personal fave) ZZ Top, ARS, Little Feat. etc.....

You get the picture. :)

"Whiskey Man doncha play that hand too long..." :)

Gotta go and take down a dirty City Hall in the area, be back. Y'all have fun now, ya hear? :)

Come on out. Ace pot is still $250.00 Tee at 5:30pm. We will begin to take disc donations for the Octoberfest raffle and silent auction as well as entries for the tournament.

Ok players. Here is our chance to raise some funds for the rebuilding efforts for the entire Gulf Coast area damaged by Hurricane Katrina. We will donate all funds raised directly to the Habitat for Humanity's Gulf Coast Region. We will raise money through donations, a raffle, silent auction, and $1.00 of each entry fee at the Octoberfest. You can help in our effort by donating discs and other items to the raffle and silent auction. Please know that your participation in this effort is valualbe as organizations like Habitat for Humanity begin the rebuilding process in the Gulf Coast area. I have contacted Robert Schmidt at Habitat for Humanities headquarters and he will assist us with our "planned giving". To sign up and play just mail in the entry form that is the first post on the Octoberfest thread or use titledisc.com. If you wish to help or donate something for our efforts please call me at 512-914-4039. Thanks for your attention, D.Moody

If you're playing the Saturday mini at Pease, plan to make a day of it and hang around for the Ace Race too. We ordered 20 extra packages so even if you didn't reserve one, come on out and hit some chains with Discraft's newest prototype.

For sure...it's Ace Race Saturday at Pease. Please come join in the fun. The regular Pease mini tees at 10:00 and then play the Ace Race any time from 1 to 4pm. I will be running the mini this week and may bring some 1st run CE Valks and Firebirds for sale. They are all tagged but some barely used.

Pease is dry...come on out for the mini. If you want to
see your name on the player list for Octoberfest come on by and sign up. I will be posting only the paid entries. One in open? We all know better. I look forward to seeing great competition out here, and a little fun :).

�Feliz cumplea�os a t�!

I'LL BE THERE FOR A CHANGE,

MAN, I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO CAMPING AT THE RANCH.

MITCH OR LOU.... WHERE THE MINI INFO?

The Saturday mini at Pease will go on tommorow. Tee at
10am, walk fast, stay warm. Metal go to the MDGCC thread for the Waterloo Red Rock mini info for the 18th.

The Pease X-mas mini will use X-mas eve as a raindate. Not sure about trusting the weather people. We'll see. Unless it is particularly foul its on for this Saturday. Joel won open last night with a 46, Brandon E with a 47. Chris Rogers and Chief tied for 1st in Adv with 54. ? won Am's with a 54 and will probably move up next time. Thanks to park user Kurt Standiford for cooking sausage wraps.

News 8 Austin forcast as of 12/15/05 18:42 CDT

Saturday looks to present the biggest "weather challenges" of the upcoming weekend days as chilly winds and rainshowers -- possibly even some storms -- move in during the day.
Forcast high of 48 degrees F.
:(

Also, the Am that shot 54 should be bumped !!! Advanced needs some new blood.

Also, the Am that shot 54 should be bumped !!! Advanced needs some new blood.



I would not say 54 is a pro caliber round!! I will be there sat. if it is not stormy!!

Pryor of the Ori
I see we have a Stargate fan.
:D

forcast for saturday:
Saturday
Cloudy with a 50 percent chance of light rain. Highs in the upper 40s. Northeast winds 5 to 10 mph.
Saturday Night
Cloudy. Lows in the upper 30s. North winds 5 mph.

The Pease X-mas mini will use X-mas eve as a raindate.



Again, if it is nasty we will use X-mas eve as the raindate. We do have a "hobo barrell" to warm your hands over before you hit the course. Maybe we should consider hot cider instead of cold beer? :cool:/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :cool:

Dave will you post again whether the mini is moved to the rain date in the AM?

CW, we will have a mini both days. I will just postpone the beverage celebration if it is nasty and small numbers show. I will try to post when I leave Red Rock tommorow a.m. either way. Brrrrrrrr.

kewl thanks

Bring your best...it's ON! Merry Christmas to ya :cool:

Great time and great weather for tha annual Christams mini today. And a decent turnout, too.

Thanks Dave for the keg of Live Oak Double Bock --- that was an excellent choice.

Good to meet your better half again Robbie. Thanks for coming out. Live Oak Brew works for me, the "Liberator" double bock gets all aces from me. Thanks to Standiford for cooking the wraps and pork chops. Ummmm the other white meat. Dagon takes open with a 49, Effrain wins Adv at 55, and Mike B wins ams with 5?. Dagon takes 95 in the CTP, and Jaime took 30.

good times Dave!! thanx for the beer !! :D

dave thanks for the beer and the wraps i had a blast my second round wasnt as good as the 1st for some reason. (the beer)

Thanks to all of you that helped support the pro shop during the last year. When times are tough you guys keep showing up and keeping the shop alive. I just had a nice Christmas dinner with my family and Mike Siuda. I thank him and you all should too. He's a big part of keeping the shop going the last few years. Julie, Ian, and myself are off to St.Louis tommorow to see her family so I'll be out of sight for about a week. One more time....Merry Christmas to all of you and have a safe and happy New Year. Wish me luck, I'll be running in the St.Louis Track Club's Frostbite 10 miler next Sat morning. Can you say "shrinkage" :eek:

good luck Dave in the run and hope you and your family have a safe trip.

thanks Suida warrior for all you do.

Come on out. No major tourneys in the Austin area this
weekend. Good luck to all going up to Lewisville. Let's make the mini a big one. Kurt will be grilling up chicken and sausage wraps again.

if you cant make the mini we would love to see you at the work day at RIVERY 9:00 free breakfast

Good luck with the clean up Dragons. I hope a bunch of Waterloo guys make it up there to help. Worthy cause for sure. Wish I could be there...

thanks Dave.

thanks Dave.

Have fun at the mini today. I will be at home ripping out the skylights in the living room. Leaking again:(. $250.00 ace pot is still there.

Players...come play the Saturday mini at Pease this week and then play the Waterloo Ice Bowl. I will have Gordo's cell phone to call our names in. We will tee off on time at Pease in order to make it to the Ice Bowl in plenty of time. If you plan on playing both you may want to skip the CTP ace pot at Pease.

Good call, Dave. What time does the Ice Bowl start (is there a thread on it somewhere already...if so, we should bump it)?

Thanks.

The Ice Bowl starts at 12:30 at Zilker.
The info as at the bottom of the board in the Waterloo forum.

Artical about Pease Park (http://www.statesman.com/life/content/life/stories/health/04/3fitcity.html)

An interesting read, I hope they come up with a plan that involves Disc Golf.

start time????

5:30. I called Dave earlier

it was very one sided. I went to a meeting with Gordon a while back and they were very interested in spending a ton of money to put in more ball fields at Walnut Creek park. I just find it funny that they were talking to us about all the money they are spending at that park for other sports but they wouldn't put aside anything for us to even get parking up there. Also it was a huge deal for us to even discuss getting the money together for the parks department to put the ecco-creado teepads in at Pease. We left the meeting with them saying they would try one pad out. Now we have an entire walkway and still no pad.

That was an interesting and informative article.

First of all: Gordo --- thanks for being such a great spokesperson and steward of our sport.

Secondly --- and this is going to sound like sacralige to some --- but I would be in favor of closing the Pease Park disc golf course (as well as eliminating the leash-free dog park zone) to allow the park to recover.

Pease is a seriously distressed park.

In the article Gordo states that, "There's just not enough places in the city of Austin for disc golfers to go play." --- Well...sort of. In the actual city itself, that's a true statement. But within the general Austin area, there are numerous places to play disc golf. You just can't ride your bike from the UT dorms to all of them.

In fact, I mapped and counted all of the disc golf courses in our general area, and there are 22 disc golf courses within a 31.6 mile radius of Austin, with 16 of those courses within a 20 mile radius.

Perhaps the answer to saving Pease Park is to cease playing disc golf there (at least on a permanent basis). And then re-educate the hordes of casual and rec players as to the location of all the other courses.

Yes, we could always use more courses. But a better answer is to spread the play around to the courses that we already have, too.

I could see Pease becoming like Waterloo Park, where we get special permission to set the old course back up for COTO once a year.

There are a lot of measures that can be taken before that, Robbie. There's no need to go to the extreme suggested in the article. You'll notice that Nokes wants to use Pease as the testing ground for several methods of regrowth. That just doesn't make sense to me. Why take one of the most utilized parks in town and close it long term for testing. That should be done elsewhere and once the best method is determined, then the issues at Pease can begin to be addressed.

These goddamn tree hugging whackos are gonna make a republican out of me!!!!!!!!!

Why in their concern over preservation do they ignore the 99% of the land that has been dramitically damaged (a driveway, a house, new plant species, dog crap running into the watershed), yet they #$*&$! and moan about the freaking small piece left for people to enjoy??????????

Damnit, a freaking soccer field doesn't support native flora, neither does a basketball court, swimming pool, or rec center. Why doesn't that idiot go after those things.

And don't get me started with erosion. shaol creek has been eroding for eons. In our little blip here in Austin, it has been primarily exacerbated by upstream development, not the freaking bald spots we see at our tee boxes, or our pathways.

Basically, these "environmentalists" have absolutely no perspective. The concept that a park is to be used for enjoyment is foreign to them, probably because the only enjoyment they understand is to view the unspoiled natural landscape.

Why don't they go over to house park and demand that the complex be destroyed and returned to nature? It would restore far more degradation than eleminating disc golf. Orders of magnitude more. Why not????

ps. This is an example on why I can't talk to the press. :p

Nice job Gordo, I really liked the not-so-small-point about how much enjoyment has come from the use of the park. That never seems to factor into their equation.

I say pull all the courses in Austin and move them up North.... you can't run a tournament in Austin anyways.We know how to handle hordes of people, trash and tree huggers.
Then them low life punk golfers who abuse course will know what they had.Kinda like taking a video game away from you kid.OR
PAY TO PLAY!
I just kidding....I just love teeing off a cig invested tee boxes, skipping a disc of a beer can, and my favorite pick used rubbers off the bottom of my shoes

Vinnie --- you forgot the Pease Park favorite --- walking the guantlet of meth-heads who live under the bridge at Pease Park.
_______

Anybody who knows me knows I'm no tree-hugger (though, I'd rather hug a tree than hug a hippee ) --- but I do believe that Pease Park is in trouble. And that the rate of degradation at Pease has accelerated at an alarming pace, and much quicker than at other city parks.

Perhaps a compromise for Pease would be to let reduce the course to two 9-hole courses, like Zilker, and rotate them throughout the year, or to simply close the course for 5-6 months of the year to allow time for recovery?

I don't believe we can continue to use and abuse this particular park at the rate that we currently do and expect it to stay as enjoyable as it is.

What again is this "degradation" at Pease? Bald spots? Loss of indigenous flora? or is it just an eyesore to someone expecting to see wilderness?

Also, in the Shoal Creek watershed, are there other spots where the soil is trampled, where native species won't grow, where the soil does not absorb as much rainfall as it once did? Of course there are. Almost the entire watershed is that way. Why is that? Oh yeah, people inhabit the watershed, they build driveways, and homes, and plant non-native grasses, the let their dogs crap in their yards, they let motor oil flow into the sewers.

Not interested in taking back private land, well, let's remove all the ball fields from the watershed, the pools, the walking paths, the grassy areas of Pease, the volleyball and basketball courts. I have yet to see any native species there.

Why is it always the disc golf course? I'm tired of us having to always defend ourselves on this subject, while soccer players, basketballers, tennis players, ball golfers, swimmers, walkers always get a free pass.

If these environmentalists weren't hypocrites, or simply opportunists going after easy prey, then the debate would rightly be about the need for preservation versus public use. The need for native species versus the need of its human inhabitants to have recreation and enjoyment. That council meeting would be really interesting.

I am dragging you to that meeting and signing you up to speak. :)

I agree with you on a lot of this. Anyone that plays regularly at Pease can see the damage done after a one inch rain is much worse than the wear caused by use. A good example of this is the bank across the creek from hole 4. Before it was walled up by the city, it was eroded to the point that it took half of the hike & bike trail at some places. Nobody was putting wear and tear on the bank. It was just a case of too much runoff.

I agree with you as well. Look at the effort put in to rebuilding Bart. If the city put any kind of effort to build the creekbed up like they did at Bart or even along hole 4 at pease it would help with the errosion. It isn't the disc golfers that are tearing the sides down but the massive amounts of water that tear through there during the rains. The rest of the area I do agree should be shut down for a bit to give it a chance to regrow. I do think that there will be no possible way that the city could shut it down completely but at least pull the baskets out for a couple of months. We as a disc golf community take care of the place. The other turd chunkers and drunk UT students are the ones destroying it. The city has their mind set about us. I get the feeling like when I was a kid asking for a skatepark to be built. For a city that has such a high amount of disc golfers and a high amount of support for the community they sure know how to keep a hippie down.

You shouldn't have admitted to being a hippie. Now Rooster will never hug you. :D

I've met some hippies. And I know EasyE.

And EasyE's no hippie! :cool:

(I'm still probalby not going to hug him, even though he is leaving us soon for the rarified air of Colorado)

The thing that really irked me about the article was the drastic decrease in park funding and maintenance was treated like a natural phenomenon, like rain � oh, gosh, the budget got slashed year after year, whoopsie daisy� we�ll just have to make due with volunteers or something... Increasing funding from the city wasn�t mentioned as an option.

Maybe I�m hypersensitive, but seems like the average reader would come away from that article with the message �disc golfers hurt parks� rather than �city parks drastically under funded.� I think it�s the primacy defeating the recency (and many people may have read only the last half.

The headline should have been �Budget cuts and increased use killing Pease Park� or something.

As much as my inner hippie (ew) is sensitive to the overuse issue, it would suck to lose that course b/c it's really the only one I can make it to during the week...

These goddamn tree hugging whackos are gonna make a republican out of me!!!!!!!!!


I have already made the change. I love trees and the rest but, the environmentalist can GO TO HELL !!!

i've played pease park for the past two years...everyday. I think Easy has a point with the Bart-issue....erosion has been the biggest factor...the course doesn't even get use until 11ish...at least during the school season....Shoal creek should be maintained...the packed issue....rain too. Me and my 37 disc bag walking that great park daily is not the problem....sweet old mother nature....is just licking the life from it.......there's my two cents! :(

An interesting read, I hope they come up with a plan that involves Disc Golf.



For anyone that missed the editorial in Monday's paper. The Statesman thinks it's a good idea to pull the disc golf course.

Editorial on Disc Golf in Pease Park (http://www.statesman.com/opinion/content/editorial/stories/04/10pease_edit.html)

Sorry to read that. Nothing like playing disc at Pease while girl watching......

yeah, was trying to find that online the other day to post, thanks lou.
read that the day it was in the paper, bunch of MFBS if you ask me. All of the sudden the disc golfers are these evil entities "destroying" the park, yeah the thousands of people walking through there everyday NOT playing disc golf don't contribute to any of that. Pease is on a flood plane, so areas near the creek are going to look trampled because after a big rain nothing is left but dirt. Look at a part of the park with water doesn't generally overflow, like 15 and 16 fairways across the creek, plenty of grass there, and golfers walk those fairways just as often as the rest of the course.
whatever.

You have to remember that these are people that don't have daily contact with the park that are making these claims. If they'd like Pease to be revitalized, they should push the PARD to aerate and seed like they do at Zilker. There are more effective options than just closing the park to users.

I really hope they don't close the park before COTO !!! :(

We could always do COTO on the disc golf side of town.
Northside!

Am sending this to the statesman...we'll see if they print it.

-----------------------------------

Pease give me a break.

A recent editorial (�You can�t Pease everyone�) called for removing the disc golf course in Pease park. This is ridiculous. Does the course interfere with grass growth and contribute (minutely) to erosion? Of course it does. This is because the disc golf course is a facility , just like a soccer field or tennis court.
There are two key features that separate the disc golf course from other facilities, however. First, it is much less obtrusive. When was the last time you saw a beautiful oak tree in the middle of a tennis court?
Second, the Pease disc golf course is actively maintained by the volunteer efforts of the Waterloo disc golf club. Do the soccer players themselves mow the city soccer fields? No, the city �the taxpayer � does.
Rather than responding to arguments that the Pease disc golf course be removed, we should be demanding that the city maintain the course as they do other recreational facilities. But we don�t. We maintain the course voluntarily so that we, and others, can enjoy it. If you�re not going to thank us, at least leave us alone.

What side ? South Side !

The City of Austin has no plans to pull the disc golf course at Pease Park. PARD is looking into the possibility of adding more courses in other parks in order to alleviate the heavy traffic at Pease. :cool:

There is a letter to the editor in today's Statesman from Jill Nokes, the horticulturist quoted in the original article from 4/6. She said it makes no sense to single out disc golfers from other park users as the cause of the problems at Pease. I couldn't find it online or I'd give y'all a link.

Well then, I guess I should apologize for all those nasty things I said about Ms. Nokes. :D

Oh yeah, clean up your name there buddy, you're squishing the thread. ;)

We could always do COTO on the disc golf side of town.
Northside!



Sounds funny coming from a Garfieldonian:). I'm glad all the chatter about Pease was just that... PARD re-upped my permit again and they assurred me that all is good. I dropped new sleeves to Mike yesterday. The mini will go on Sat am, be early, Eyores is in the afternoon. If you want to help Mike with the sleeves please play the mini and then hang around to help.

Eyores is next week. Opps... Get down to the mini and then do the Eyores.

Tuesday mini tees at 5:30pm. I'll be there for a change. Been bustin' my #$*&$! with the other job trying to keep the shop alive. I will be picking up some new stock tommorow before the mini. Call me if you have a special order and leave a detailed message(disc, color, weight) 914 4039 I-magine I'll have cold one tommorow evening and will try to have one for you. It's been nice sitting in the box while Mike's been in Shreveport. I even played a round yesterday...look out. Pease out :cool:

Another reminder...there is still over $250 in ace pot tonight! We had 21 Advanced on Saturday, thank you.

Do yall have a Sat mini?

I think I remember one at 10:00 but was not sure. :confused:

Yesh Shir....10am Sharp!

Ams $5 + $5 (optional Ace Pot)
Pros $10 + $5 (optional Ace Pot)

CTP is thrown at the end of the mini if no one aces.

Actually, I learned a couple of weekends ago that the start time is really 10:30, not 10:00. I used to attribute my perceived delay to the Austin slacker ethic, but now I realize they are prompt. ;)

Do you baggers play open! :o:eek: :D :p

When I play in it, I play open. It's my only option. :p

Do you baggers play open! :o:eek: :D :p



But of course! It's the only way this bagger gets any better :D

Honestly, there's always solid talent at every Pease Mini....Open and Advanced. The mini consistantly draws 20-40 players, especially on a nice Saturday morning.

Cfles....why all the questions?...are you coming down to Austin sometime soon? Let me know - in addition to the Pease mini, the WilCo course just opened....I know you FW Boys like concrete and this course has it!

I heard Cfles came into town last night. what concrete is at Wilco?? :confused:

yeah what he said " what concrete?"

errrr....oops. I was told by two different people that they were laying concrete and over seeding the fairways to help get rid of the mud when it rains. I'm assuming I was given bogus info....oh well, I'm going this afternoon to check it out. Are there any plans to get concrete out there?

so 5:30 tonight with a $250 ace pot sounds like fun

Good chance that I can be there Saturday. Ace Race will be coming up next month. :D

Dave asked me to post that next week (the 10th), the mini will start at 5:15 with sign up ending at 5. The ace pot is over $200. See everyone there.

whos playing Peace today?

YOU?

thinking about it. I need to practice my putting. I got a meeting from 4-5 that I am going to try and get out of.

what time is today's tee-time? What about on Saturdays? It's been too long since I last played a Pease mini ---- forgot what time tee-times were...

the mini will start at 5:15 with sign up ending at 5. saturday is still 10

I don't know about Tuesday, since weekday minis are for deadbeats and dell employees, but Saturday minis are at 10:30. Like Chris, I used to think it was 10:00 and always figured those slackers were slow getting things rolling. They're not, the real time is 10:30.

Ric Johnson just passed on the word that because of the time change, the Tuesday Pease Minis will now start at 4 pm.

Thanks Ric!
