Well, well, well, we're back in the saddle again!

Man, the Live Oak Summer Open is such a special event to me. It was great to be part of the 1st ever 2-day PDGA Sanctioned event at one of the best courses in Texas with the most supportive City staff working for us last year.

I'm proud to announce that HCF is back on track and that the 2nd Annual Live Oak Summer Open is back on our schedule.

The details are just now coming together, but here's what I know so far.

July 24th-25th
4 Rounds of 18 holes on two 18 hole layouts
HCF Flex Dubs Friday 7/23 from Noon to 5 p.m.-ish :)
HCF $100 "Where's My Red Wildcat" Distance Challenge
No golf carts this year - Sorry

As for other items of interest, I should be announcing a hotel deal soon. Hopefully we'll have the same deal for lunch we had last year. Look for there to be free adult refreshments again. The famous HCF Raffle 'O Wonder will once again be in place.

And, one more little item of interest:

THE ISLAND HOLE WILL BE BACK! (insert evil laugh sound here)

Okay, much more to come soon.

Its great to be back and I can't wait for THE LOSO!!!

As usual...STAY TUNED! :D

sweet! :D

Is this going to be a sanctioned tournament?

Gary, yes, it will be a sanctioned event. I'm not quite sure what tier it will be as of yet. That's what I'm working on right now.

With the changes in sanctioning this year, last year's B's are equivilent to this year's C's.

I'm leaning toward C. I've never taken my 15%-25% that the PDGA allows out of payout to pay for tourney expenses (15% for B and 25% for C) but without it, its difficult to do a mandatory players pack.

We've always had stuff to give away and money to add to payout, without it being mandated or coming out of what our players get. We'll see, but the smart money is on a C-tier. I have no problems with the sanctioning terms, but C's just seem to work best for me now, since they're virtually identical to what we did for B's last year.

As for everything else, there should be no changes from the 5 B-tiers I ran last year. Added money, lunch available, great payout and free stuff. Those will always be some of the hallmarks of an HCF event, regardless of tier.

One more item of note, regarding the PDGA. One Am player, without a PDGA # or a current membership (either), who finishes the highest in their division, will be awarded a PDGA Am Membership, sponsored by HCF.

I need to take some squids to see Harry Potter now, but I'll be back on here later today with more info.

allright back on track!!! whatwas the turnout last year??

If you can get it to be a B tier you might get more people to travel down to play.

Why is that?

Efrain, here's the stats and results from last year.


1st Annual Live Oak Summer Open results (http://www.pdga.com/schedule/event.php?TournID=3719)

HOPE to be able to go, wont know till much closer to then, of course.... :(

Check your PM's Cong, my friend. You just ran out of excuses. Hahaha! :)

Hopefully by early next week I'll have info on a Hotel Deal.

All the registration info just got sent to that redneck Ben Poole, who except for being a member of Team Rebeloseshun, is a pretty good guy. He also runs a little service you may have heard of. Its called titleDISC.com! :D

With the success of last year's event and the large number of people who have now placed this on their calendars as an annual "can't miss" event, we're sure to have a big field. Please make all our lives easier and register early on titleDISC.

The sanctioning agreement has also been sent to the PDGA and we will be a Sanctioned PDGA C-tier tour event.

I hope people have come to trust HCF well enough by now to know that when I say the value of the event that you as players will receive in our C-tiers is identical to what you would have experienced at all of our B-tiers last year, they believe me.

There will be money added to both Pro and Am divisions, special activities (including the $100 "Where's My Red Wildcat" Distance Throw-off), lunch on the course both days and the return of the Famous HCF Raffle 'O Wonder.

No matter where you live in Texas, or anywhere else for that matter, this will be a not-to-be-missed event that weekend to play in. I know the Texas schedule (especially) is so crowded that you can't swing a stick without hitting a weekend with multiple events these days. I support Brian Mace and his Games of Texas event, once again sharing a weekend with LOSO, and wish him and his players the best. Between these two events, if your not playing tournament golf that weekend in Texas, you're missing out big time.

There's much, much more to come over the next week so, as usual...STAY TUNED! :D

(God, its good to be back with a good schedule of events to promote...and no, I won't be playing. :cool:)

Check your PM's Cong, my friend. You just ran out of excuses. Hahaha! :)

<font color="red"> Done </font>


(including the $100 "Where's My Red Wildcat" Distance Throw-off)






While I find this Hilarious, I wonder if Seehorse will.....

LMAO.....

:D

I asked C-dub yesterday about it, but evidently he still hasn't seen it. Or, he really doesn't think its funny. :eek:

C-dub, luv ya bro. :D

Below is a 1st draft list of those who have already stepped up with offers of sponsorship which run the gamut from added cash to merchandise for the World Famous HCF Raffle 'O Wonder. :)

Circle R, Wimberley
Live Oak Disc Golf Alliance(LODGA)
ZiegenLight Texas 10 Charity Tour
Lone Star Disc Golf Alliance (LSDGA)
Arlignton Disc Golf Association (ADGA)
Third Coast Disc Golf Club (Corpus Christi)

There are several more folks that I'll be calling, but if you'd like to be a part of this great event, and have your banner/logo displayed all weekend at tourney HQ, be a part of the promotional efforts for the event or generally be associated with a great PDGA tournament, I encourage you to contact me at 830-385-9682 or email me at mark@hillcountryflyers.com

Mark Atwood
Hill Country Flyers
The Evolution of Disc Golf

add the Dragons to your list of sponsorship in some form. and yes the $100 wildcat contest should be a GOOD ONE. :)

Thanks to the Dragons. Vinnie had also said that he would beat the LOSO drum for us. Thanks to both of you guys and to ROUND ROOOOCK. You guys have always stepped up for HCF and its appreciated.

And thanks for your good sense of humor C-dub. :) BTW, for those who are curious about the "Where's My Red Wildcat Distance Competition," its free to all the paid LOSO participants and the $100 prize is sponsored by HCF.

Been burning up the phone lines for LOSO today. Should have something new to report to everyone on a couple of different topics soon.

If y'all remember, this was one of the most fun and talked about events last summer. I'd love to see it grow into one of the biggest events in the state. The City of Live Oak deserves that, for all the support they give our sport and all the tournaments that take place there.

The ZT10 Tour is very happy to support this event but I just have one question. How do you spell the Z word? :D

Looking forward to this one as a player. Now I just have to find a caddie as for some stupid reason the PDGA won't allow golf carts.

Mark, please don't forget I like my steak well done.

Thanks
Chris

Thanks for the support mate, but I'm not sure what you're talking about?

You want your hole assignment? I have a special one planned just for you. ;)

Last year's LOSO was a great event. HCF, the City of Live Oak, and the players made it happen. Kat and I had fun and expect more of the same this year. Can't wait to finally play the long tees... ;)

Do we have to throw a Red Wildcat for the distance competition?

<font size=1>The preceding message was not a paid endorsement paid for by Hill Country Flyers, but was coerced via PM in the form of not so subtle hints. Any resemblance of this message to a shameless plug is in fact legitimate, although I'll deny it outright in public. The fun mentioned in the message actually did happen and is expected to happen again. Mark Atwood still has no game and is going back to TDing to protect the innocent from witnessing the spectacle of his "playing."</font>

Sheesh Tony don't spill the beans on the BIG D Contest :)

Sheesh Tony don't spill the beans on the BIG D Contest :)



I was just wondering, because last year I found this Red Wildcat out in the field..... :D

OMG! LMAO! :D

I'm getting messages from people who can't find the thread and want to know when I'm gonna start talking about it?

Maybe a subject line change will help. Sheesh! :)

Mark Thanks again for holding this Great Event. Live Oak is the best place in Texas to play Disc Golf.
:DCome see for yourself :D

:DCome see for yourself :D



Well in your case Mark learn to play first then come to Live Oak :D

You're more than welcome Dave, this is a very special event to me and I'm glad to be back in the saddle for it.

I see you found the thread. Nice work. :)

whats up rev. Hopefully i am back in texas in time to play this event.

I hope so too, CEVG. :)

Man, I hate when the board goes down like that. Throws my world into chaos. :D

Should have some stuff to get out later on registration and lodging. Ben at titleDISC said yesterday that he'd get this up soon.

I also have added a few sponsors since yesterday's list and will be posting an updated sponsors list this evening.

...STAY TUNED! :D

:D

By the way, The Promoters of the Live Oak Summer Open support Houston Disc Golf and all their players and organizers.


<font size=1>Whew, that was close.</font>

Hi All,

I've been told that we'll know something about our food sponsor by the end of the week, but as anyone who remembers how great our lunches were out there last year can tell you, if its the same deal we had it will be both a good value and a great meal.

Still working on accomodations, but that will come together in the next couple of days. At least we have a few options available to us this time around. :)

Still talking to folks who want to be on board for sponsorship and there could be some positive changes in this event as a result. I know that's a little cryptic, but be patient. :)

Here's our current sponsor list:

Circle R, Wimberley
Live Oak Disc Golf Alliance(LODGA)
ZiegenLight Texas 10 Charity Tour
Lone Star Disc Golf Alliance (LSDGA)
Arlignton Disc Golf Association (ADGA)
Third Coast Disc Golf Club (Corpus Christi)
Double R Disc Golf
Brian Schmidt

As usual...STAY TUNED! :D

what kind of deal was it last year for the food?

Now that's power - an ability to get your threats carried out on a separate thread. :D

:D

So Lyle, you making it to LOSO? Guaranteed good time with folks who all looooooove Houston. :)

ROFL.....cant wait for LOSO #2!!!!

;)

Good Morning from LOSO HQ!

Here's some updated news for y'all on what promises to be one of the most fun 2-day sanctioned events you'll play all summer.

"Houston, we have FOOD!"
For those who were there and remember the great meals we had at the course last year, and those who look forward to some more great grub at LOSO '04, I'm proud to announce that Texas Roadhouse is back on board. They will be bringing their rockin' cook trailer set-up out to the course again and will be serving great food for just $5/plate, like last year. If memory serves me correctly we had a healthier type entree (Grilled Chicken breasts, etc.) with veggie sides on Saturday, with awesome burgers and dogs on Sunday. This will be the same menu for '04. Texas Roadhouse does a lot of great work with events in the Live Oak community, including disc golf, and is proud to be along for the LOSO this year. When you're in town, be sure to enjoy the food and great atmosphere of their Live Oak Location (http://roadhouse.know-where.com/roadhouse/cgi/site?site=00085&address=), at 13830 IH 35 North and call ahead at 210-967-4998. Tell 'em you're a disc golfer. They'll appreciate it and so will we. :)

"Get thee to titleDISC"
The 2nd Annual Live Oak Summer Open is now live on titleDISC (http://titledisc.com/Events/LiveOakSummerOpen.php) for pre-registration. As you know, this is the single best way to make sure you're in, make your tournament staff member's lives easier and have a hassle free Saturday morning while you warm-up and see the great courses in Live Oak City Park. Ben Poole and titleDISC, are great supporters of disc golf everywhere and continue to offer a great service to tournaments and players alike. Thanks Ben.

(Thanks and apologies to NASA and Brian Schmidt for the quote thefts above.)

Hotel info should be coming down the pipe today, as I've already been on the phone this morning regarding our accomodations.

More sponsor news is also on its way and there may be a little surprise involved for the event and our players as part of that...shhhh

As usual...STAY TUNED! :D

"Houston, we have FOOD!"



We are very supportive of Texas Roadhouse. :D

Wow...Four rounds of 18! That is gonna wear my ***** out! This course always looks good, but with all the rain we just got, i bet the course will be close to looking the best it ever has!!

Can't wait! So who is comin??

Hey Mark if I go what time do you think everyone will hit the road back. It's a long drive from L-Town but it is well worth it for those courses....my vacation time is drying up on me. :(

Well, with no players meeting on Sunday and likely an earlier start to the day, I wouldn't think you'd have a problem being home in time for a reasonable bedtime. ;)

Seriously, I can't nail it down for you, but I wouldn't think we'd run late. I'll try to remember or find where its written what time we got out of there last year, but if I remember even I got home at a reasonable time. And, I stayed well after everyone else had left.

Congrats to John Eaves for winning the free tourney stamped disc for being the 1st one to preregister. It pays to sign up early for HCF events! :)

So has anyone guessed what this little "sponsor related" surprise is yet? Details tomorrow, I hope. :)

do we get a prize for guessing?

:D

I know but I don't count :D I just got home from install if you're wondering why the hell I'm posting at 3:30AM :(

BEER! :D

Well, I promised y�all a little surprise related to sponsorship. My reputation as a putter may be questionable, but when I promise a surprise, I deliver. :cool:

Thanks to the offers from several people to help rustle up the needed sponsorship, and a little bit of reaching out by yours truly, the 2nd Annual Live Oak Summer Open will now be a B-tier PDGA Event!

What this means is a minimum of $500 added to the Pro purse and a $10 value Players Pack for all Ams. At the rate we�re going, that minimum could be just the beginning, and there will be added cash to the Am divisions as well. Thanks to all the folks who stepped up to help us make this happen. There�s quite a few folks and groups to thank, and I will list them all soon.

Registrations are live at titleDISC, so don�t wait. This event should well surpass the field we had last year, which at 99 for a first year event competing against an Am Worlds within an easy drive, was not too shabby. :D Guru has told me that this is the only sanctioned event on the schedule for that weekend so make your plans and no excuses!

Here�s a few other details.

A free PDGA membership will be given away by HCF to the highest finishing Am player without a current membership.

A free LOSO entry will be given away by the LODGA at their Live Oak Wednesday mini on June 30th. This will be done by a CTP throw off.

The �Where�s My Red Wildcat Distance Competition� will take place immediately following the 4th round on Sunday, at the pavilion by #1. There is a $100 prize sponsored by HCF for the winner and all paid participants of the LOSO are eligible to compete.

The merchandise for the Famous HCF Raffle �O Wonder is pouring in. For only the cost of a $1 raffle ticket, you could walk away with some pretty cool stuff.

Please welcome our newest merchandise sponsor, Discichick! If you are a disc golfing gal or a guy looking to score some truly cool items for your discin' lady, Discichick has the stuff you need. Contact Danielle Vargas for more info. Thanks, Nelle!

There�s much more info coming, so, as usual�STAY TUNED! :D

Mark, I'd tell you that you're awesome, but I wouldn't want you to think I was being nice. ;)

Don't sweat it Tony, I wouldn't want you to pull a muscle getting the words out anyway. :)

Looking good! I will do my best to sign up next payday...Really looking forward to this one...I did not play last year, but I love Live Oak!

nice job Mark, looking good. Keep up the hard work!!!!gotsmorcs

so OPEN entry is $ 65 plus 5 for ace pot??

Yes C-dub, but that was the entry fee before. No changes in entry fees will result from this change in tier status.

All our Evolution Series events last year and so far this year have had the same entry fees across the board, including the Flying Solo Memorial which was a C-tier.

Pro Divisions - $65
Advanced Divisions - $45
Intermediate Divisions - $35
Recreational Divisions - $25

Ace Pots - $5

Two days and 4 rounds of golf at Live Oak - Priceless!

mark send me your addy at home again and I will get a check in the mail to you. thanks

While everyone knows I prefer titleDISC as the main method of preregistration, mail in entries will be accepted.

Okay, getting ready to head to HCF - Temple Office for the weekend and look forward to seeing everyone in Wacko.

Probably a little light on LOSO news for the next couple of days, but plenty to come next week.

Mark this one on your calendars, boys and girls. Its gonna be huge.

Good luck to all this weekend. :D

B-tier....SCHWEET!!!!!!!!!

Did you get my reg yet???

:cool:

should be a good field Mark. Being a B tier should attract some people. Cya tomorrow morning.

I don't know if the comments about it being a B-tier are just jokes..... If it is then SWEET, if not....... Would you consider making the tournament a one day tourney??

Just a thought, I'll most likely be in attendance regardless.

Sounds like this one's going to be great. I've already missed one of Mark's tournaments this year, better not miss another one. Gotta start trying to talk Dave into it now. Better start being nice to MOTHER so she'll babysit. Keep your fingers crossed that it works! :D

Just post her phone #.......If ya'll can't talk her into it we will :D:D

allright got permission from my better half! gotsmorcs

Live Oak in the Summer what a treat, Great job in getting it a B tier Mark. Well that one thing Mark knows how to do now if he could just get a game :D

Thanks to all the people that have been getting excited about this one and all the folks that have already signed up by titleDISC (there's been quite a few). Get over there and be one of them and help make your HCF staff's lives easier. We thank you for it. :)

LOSO WOOHOO!!!!!

Hey Rev, the Live Oak Disc Golf Alliance is donating $300. Live Oakers rule!

How's about a big LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE OOOOOOOAAAAAKKKKK!

Thanks to Brian and the folks of the LODGA for helping us to make this a B-tier and having added money.

There are other cash sponsorships coming in as well, so this one's gonna rock!

I'm in 'puter hell right now. I'm posting from the laptop while I try to get the desktop back up and running. The squid downloaded something that screwed it up, so I'll be back on and posting more later after I fix it.

This is Great not to many B-teirs this year. Dont miss this one :D

Dave , Jims not there today so please GET BACK TO WORK :mad:Quit posting and WORK!!! :mad::mad::mad:

great course, great club, keep it up... :D

It is a great course and a great club! i always have a blast with the Live Oakers- either at their course or not! This will be a great event! I bet the turnout is better than last year!

I will definately be there Nix!!!!!

will the island hole be back in full effect for this one?

read the thread lazy ***! ;)

oh- you musta burned your eyeballs!

Yep. Island hole will be takin plastic!

Having a fried home PC and being here on this slow AOL using, disconnecting one in the Temple Office is making me nuts. I have LOSO work to do!

Yes, the Infamous Island Hole, #4 on the Lake Course, will be in effect and offering everything from birdies to the occasional quad circle 8 or higher. ;)

Not sure what Nix is talking about though, it won't actually take your plastic. You can walk outside that rope to retrieve your discs Josh, just don't throw 'em there if you can help it. :)

Its just an easy little shot anyway, why does everyone get so skeert of it? ;)

Should have a menu from Texas Roadhouse soon, as they said they are working on finalizing one for us for both days. I'd also like to get everyone to tell them how much we appreciate their support since they have offered to put together bags with coupons and Texas Roadhouse goodies for all our players too. Might even have some cool Roadhouse gear in the Famous HCF Raffle 'O Wonder.

Hope to have lodging info tomorrow.

As usual...STAY TUNED!!! :D

You mean you are gonna allow that? I thought you were going to be stationed there, grabbing all the OB discs, and not giving them back till after the round! :D

Maybe he should stand there with an industrial grade shredder :eek:

how about a players list? :D

Looking forward to LOSO this year! last year was awesome Great Courses Lots of fun and a Long Drive Contest I will Be there for sure.

I'm working on it C-dub.

As soon as I get back to Burnet today, I'm gonna get started. I have some entries for sure, and I got my password for the tourney page.

Gotta get some of them off the fried home PC. :o

Shut your DONKEY Ware and wait he had more important things to do yesterday!! :D:DJust wait!!

fri. dubs Mark?

Yes Efrain, HCF Flex Dubs on Friday, as usual. I apologize if I hadn't already posted that, I thought I did. Noon to 6 p.m., Lake Course, $10/man, bring your partner, Pro, Adv. Int. divisions. Winners will be posted sometime Saturday (by lunch) and paid out after that. If you have not picked up your Dubs payout by the time we pack up on Sunday, well, just do it, okay? :)

Just got off the lodging call I'd been waiting on, but I'm not satisfied with the rate. I'm contacting others right now and hope to have something more acceptable by day's end.

Also, hope to have the tourney page up and running today on this here website with the players list of those registered so far (about a dozen, I believe). There are many people who have told me over the last couple of weeks that they are planning to be here. If you're one of them, please make your staff's life easier and register now on titleDISC.com, please.

As usual...STAY TUNED! :D

how bout one of those sure-fire weather reports from ware? ;)

Let me guess. Tears, I mean RAIN?

Plus a chance of Wildcats late on Sunday....

Roaring thunder!!!!

LMAO!!! :D

For what its worth, my money is on Ware in the "Where's my Red Wildcat Distance Competition" this year. ZCrusher's shot was a freak. He's gonna get ZCrushed by Ware this time around :o

Thanks Atwood for all you do for the SPORT.

weather : maybe later in the week.

Ware, My son said that we are set up at his place for the weekend.

coolio ..sounds like a FUN TIME TO BE HAD

LMAO!!! :D

For what its worth, my money is on Ware in the "Where's my Red Wildcat Distance Competition" this year. ZCrusher's shot was a freak. He's gonna get ZCrushed by Ware this time around :o


ditto , go big ware!!!

Brian, I will be at your party, but I'm staying with my son that weekend.Ware you can do what ever.

ok, chile. is your son playing?

Yes, dad is paying for him.

Dad is that you? :D

Yes It's me :D:D:DAs long as you don't call me grand pa

Are you going to pay for me too Dada?

oh i see eff going for the compatition uh alright. nah you going to liveoak not signed up yet but i'll be there cant get enough of this disc golfin man its a wonderful thing uh.yo give me a halla im going to try to grt to bart today you?

yeah, i will be playing.

alright nice played a little nine hole skin action with joel k and some other cats on mon. i really like that course man challging as hell good stuff.

results?

No you got a hubby for that. Are you going to the Party?

why no trophies?

why no trophies?



Huh? :confused:

just wondering why more tournies do not offer trophies to the winners..

Yes I am going to the party. Who said there were no trophies?

Did I say something about no trophies? I was just wondering what brought it up?

Anyway, last year for some of our events, we gave out color stamped trophy discs with division name on them for first place winniers. In Vic last year we gave out those ceramic trophies for 1st-3rd in all divisions.

The trouble with trophies, to answer your question, is simply finance. They are expensive, should really be pre-ordered, can be over-ordered unless you have a full pre-reg field, etc.

I love trophies and I love to give them out. I'm working on something to help provide them for LOSO, but nothing's certain on that yet.

Input is always appreciated though. :)

No trophies...the horror of it all.

Don't worry Mark I will take a date with the Red Bull girl as my prize. The 1st place cash will help pay for dinner. :D

Can't wait for this tournament, it's close to the Outback for me. 4 rounds at Live Oak is awesome.

Do Mark the TD a favor a signup on Titledisc early. Trust me it is easy and I know a thing or two about early entries. Mark I volunteer to give out wake up calls. :D

Now for my annual question: How are you going to play the island hole?

Please Tony, no smart answers.

SMART ANSWER: ;)
I'm gonna throw a disc next to the basket and tap in for my 2.

Better James?

Yes, the Infamous Island Hole, #4 on the Lake Course, will be in effect and offering everything from birdies to the occasional quad circle 8 or higher

just curious mark thats all..I personally would rather a trophy and players pack than a payout..I have so many discs its silly!!!!

They are going to slam you for that. :o

Well then, if that's the case I guess you don't really need those Orcs, huh? j/k :)

No sweat, I appreciated the input. I like trophies too. I'll see what I can do for the LOSO.

James, as C-dub accurately cut and pasted, the Island hole will be in full effect and will be played as it was last year at the LOSO.

How was that, anyway? The mind wanders, the memory falters. ;)

They are going to slam you for that. :o


how should I have phrased that.....
regardless i fear not.....

the orcs are the only new discs added to my bag in 2 years!!
they will be backups mark!!! gotta have backups :D:D

don't forget your hydra's for the water holes!

You don't need no stinkin' Hydras, just don't throw your QUALITY plastic into the water. :)

I love my hydra, gonna throw it today!

weather was AWESOME AT THE ROCK!!

I hear a Rebel finally won something from an Ape today at Live Oak. :D

He sure did!!! Thanks for the entry Mark!!!! And he cashed $$

any other free entry deals for other courses?? come on apewood :D

tell you what ware!
I will pay for your entry at LOSO.
I need some grass cut and a truck detailed(wait a minute you still owe that one)...how about detail my car.
:D

I hear they're giving one away at the Team Boomalution tryouts? :)

Nice to see you using smilies and in a better mood. Until Sunday when you lose to The Silverback, that is. :)

As many of you may have read upthread, the LODGA was sponsoring a free LOSO entry just like they did last year. The plan was to give it away at their June 30th, Wed. League Mini, as a CTP.

Ironically Team Billybob member Mark Vargas took the CTP last night. Don't thank me, Lady Nelle, thank the good folks of the LODGA. Heck, thank yourself while you're at it. :)

Congrats Mark, see ya there. Maybe you won't be so mad at me that you'll want to throw me into a body of water...anymore. :)

hmm thats a pretty small car. might take you up on that . you going to the kitty 2 nite?

thinkin about

DO IT.

Thinking' 'bout it, fellas. Got a good friend who lives in Canyon City in can stay with. I don't think that's more than 30 miles away. I haven't played Live Oak since ZT10 in '01.

C'mon down, Koynul. It'd be great to have ya!

Message from the rebels:
Mark Vargas says thanks for finally sponsoring him Sir Atwood. :D

Mark Vargas actually said Sir Atwood? Wow I guess a team arse whipping can change a rebel. :D:D:D

No he didnt say it, I did. He did say thanks for the "sponsorship". I dont know if he is ready to say the words Lady or Sir. Havent heard it yet.

Yes my Lady, see ya later.

No he didnt say it, I did. He did say thanks for the "sponsorship". I dont know if he is ready to say the words Lady or Sir. Havent heard it yet.



Maybe that's why he hasn't been on the board, since he knows he'll have to type the words. :)

More LOSO news later. Right now I'm off to meet with a new city about a new course. Ssssshhhhhhhh......


:D

hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Freak huh? I Feel like the odds are against me in the Wheres my red WildCat Distance Competiton. Don't you have to know where your disc is to Qualify?

as long as know one touches it I can find it. I guess I threw it past yours last year that is why we could not locate it no one walked that far :)

Everyone is jumping on the Ware bandwagon, but until the reigning distance champ is dethroned, I'll have to give him the nod for the victory. How quickly we have forgotten the titanic boom that saw ZCrusher out throw everyone else in the field by at least 75'. ZCrusher has youth and superior coaching on his side......... Verdict: I crush you both!

bring it jimmy.. the only reason he won last year is I threw mine so FAR no one could find it. :) 75 ft PLEASE :D

c-ware my flo on you bro!!!!!

quit sucking up and just go get a room :o:D

quit sucking up and just go get a room :o:D


dave, want some.....? who you want ? Need to pay for my room somehow!!!

Just a note to pass along.

There will be a new special edition item introduced at the Live Oak Summer Open to raise a little more (well actually a good bit more) money for the Chance Ware College Fund. This is the same fund that the Flying Solo Memorial benefitted.

The actual item is top secret and as such I can not describe it until it is unveiled at the players meeting. I just want to get the word out so players can plan to bring their $10 to the players meeting.

At least $6 of every $10 will go directly to the charity. If we are able to get matching funds, that could climb to $12 out of every $10.

Please continue to show your support of HCF and the Chance Fund.

thank you Gary this really means alot to my family. Golfers RULE

Thanks Chris,

I can't really say what it is, but can say that every Dragon should have one.

dictionary?

deodorant?

portable breath-a-lizer? :eek:

correction: every GOLFER should have one :D

One thing I'd like to add is that these items will not be available until LOSO, except for the select few that preorder. In a top secret matter such as this, it's hard to preorder what you can't see. After LOSO, we expect to have many more to sell, and at that point I will make them available on the web. We have a couple of partners in this, one of whom will be adding these items to his Fly Mart table at Worlds in Des Moines this year. A select few of you know what we're talking about, and please don't let the cat out of the bag. just keep the secret for 2 more weeks and the whole DG community can find out.

If you want to be one of the first to own one, and one of the first to learn the secret, come on down to LOSO. :cool:

COOL!!!!

I don't care what they are, I'll buy 3 of them and put them in to the HCF Raffle 'O Wonder <font size=-3>TM</font> for the LOSO.

:D

Well, well, well, we're back in the saddle again!

Man, the Live Oak Summer Open is such a special event to me. It was great to be part of the 1st ever 2-day PDGA Sanctioned event at one of the best courses in Texas with the most supportive City staff working for us last year.

I'm proud to announce that HCF is back on track and that the 2nd Annual Live Oak Summer Open is back on our schedule.

The details are just now coming together, but here's what I know so far.

July 24th-25th
4 Rounds of 18 holes on two 18 hole layouts
HCF Flex Dubs Friday 7/23 from Noon to 5 p.m.-ish :)
HCF $100 "Where's My Red Wildcat" Distance Challenge
No golf carts this year - Sorry

As for other items of interest, I should be announcing a hotel deal soon. Hopefully we'll have the same deal for lunch we had last year. Look for there to be free adult refreshments again. The famous HCF Raffle 'O Wonder will once again be in place.

And, one more little item of interest:

THE ISLAND HOLE WILL BE BACK! (insert evil laugh sound here)

Okay, much more to come soon.

Its great to be back and I can't wait for THE LOSO!!!

As usual...STAY TUNED! :D




COMING SOON DONT MISS THIS ONE SIGN UP BEFORE IT :D:D:D:D:D:DFILLS UP

:D



good deal. I'm gonna hold you to that :)

Yeah is there a Pre-Registered List?

OH MR. TD......

Can we get an update? Lodging, Food, Player's List?

Looks like I will be making this one. Hooray !!!! I made the deal with the wife. Her Shopping I play Disc Golf :D. I am going to try to get with title-disc Mark but just in case.... Can I sign up early morning come tourney time?

Looks like I'll be there as well.
Maybe staffing, maybe playing.
I'll get with you tomorrow.

I spoke with Mark on Monday, he had sealed up a hotel deal with La Quinta for $70 a night, which he admitedly said was a little steep. He was still calling around trying to find better deals. Motel 6 Northeast, which is located 9 miles from the course heading down 35 towards S.A., is $50 a night over the internet for "1" /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif person.

Mark!! whats up buddy?

Ladies will be out in force for LOSO!!! I am thinking we are going to have atleast FIVE local rec women playing and ONE advanced woman so far. Lets see if we can break any records for the turn out!!!!

What are you playing Nelle???

join their returns club (its free) . I have never payed more than 50 at any location..INN and suites are nicer..

I am playing advanced in this sanctioned tournie. There is a La Quinta very close to the course and a Holiday Inn Express. Both off of I35.

:o

whats that for?

So Mark Atwood, are you going to post a players list?

He's avoiding that player list question... Danielle, is the Quinta you speak of off 35 the same $70 deal (I thought that one was off 1604) and if it's not, is it cheaper? Where do you stay in SA?

I actually live right by the course and the La Quinta should be off of Topperwien or I35S. I would invite you to stay but we have a full house. I am not sure of the price of the hotel. I am glad to see your coming. SEE YOU HERE!!!

Mark is currently working on the players list but has been having computer problems. Just be patient and keep those entries rolling in. If youre not at LOSO, youre SKEERT!!!!

Well, looks like I will get to attend afterall.....

Looking forward to the Second LOSO!!!!

Where is the hotel deal, and how do you reserve it ?

probably the toeperwein location , it is closest to the course!!(la quinta)

hello , is there anybody out there???????
:D
:D

I am ready for this weekend...Always fun a live oak( I didn't say five strokes)
Mark send me a PM of the support you need from us

I sure Chris has already asked this question, but...... we are playing the longs at live oak? Right? those short tees make a great course rather boring.

I don't think I will be in San Antonio this weekend :( I'll see you at Worlds El Chile :D

I do believe we are playing longs, I know the advanced women are so that would mean yall will also. The course is looking great and the great park guys at Live Oak are out getting it ready right now. Baskets are shining and the fairways are beautiful, so get your entries in now so you wont be left out!!! COME GET SOME IN LIVE OAK!!!!!!

Cool, what is the lake like? Didn't I hear that it was gonna be drained? Are those holes (5&6 i think) still along a lake?

Looking forward to this course.

you always have questions James.......READ THE PROGRAM!

The lake will be drained later on, and I think it might be draining now. There is water but 6 and 7 have been pulled and will be moved to "secret" locations before LOSO and there is fencing all along the water now. The back is looking SWEET and tougher than ever. So pack your bags and bring your good attitudes to LIVE OAK!!!!!!!

and don't forget your $10 extra for the "secret item." Remember, all proceeds benefit the Chance Ware Fund. I promise you will not be disappointed with this new "item" being unveiled at the 2nd annual LOSO :D

Only 5 more days till you all find out what it is!

ooooooooh enticing. What could it be?

bring your $10 Saturday morning to the Player's meeting to find out ;) I believe Marsha has already committed to buying 3 of them for a raffle or CTP, can't remember which (and too lazy to go back a couple pages and find out).

These items will be unveiled during Saturday's players' meeting, and will be available all weekend from myself and Mr. Gary Duke. Some people have already pre-ordered them, and if you are interested in pre-ordering (and can keep a secret) I will clue you in privately as to what you are ordering. There will initially be only 200 available nationwide, so PM me to preorder :)

what are the weights?? I need a light one. :D

hahaha nice try, gary. :D

Is it bigger than a bread box? Will it fit in my pocket?

This is a motovational tool that will fit into a bread box, but would need a large pocket to be carried comfortably in a pocket. I will easily fit in the side pockets of most tour bags, and is not very heavy.

If your game is slipping, just refer to the device, and it should offer enough motovation to get your game moving back in the right direction.

How did yall know thats EXACTLY what I need? See you guys at LOSO!!!!!!!!

Marcus Roberts are you skeered. :cool:

Nelle, are the old guys playing LOSO? Like Texx,Bigg Birdd?

Texx is out of commision with a hurt elbow and I think Big Bird will be playing.

Cool, Big Bird will be there, Thanks. Beastmaster, I think you can play and staff, unless your skeered?

So, to add to the fun of this whole idea....
First person to guess what the "motivational tool" is gets a free one. But WAIT! there are conditions to this contest:

1.) You may only guess by PM to me. Any guesses posted in public forum will be completely ignored by myself and Mr. Duke.

2.) You cannot already know what it is, (duh!)

3.) The first person who guesses correctly (judged by PM date and time) will receive one free "motivational tool". If another person subsequently guesses corectly, but is more specific (by my judgement) they will also receive one free. Winnings to be paid out at the Saturday Player's meeting of LOSO. NOTE: you MUST be present at this year's LOSO to receive winnings. If you cannot be present, you cannot win :( but you can still buy one :)

4.) Once a correct guess has been made, I will notify the board. If the winner discloses the identity of the item, he or she will forfeit all winnings and be publicly flogged.

5.) anyone who already knows the identity of the "motivational tool" and discloses it in public forum (or in private) will also be publicly flogged. Remember... I know who you are

So... PM me your ideas and win a *@#^#$^ [Edited for content]


P.S. remember this is for fun and for a good charity. Please don't be an arse and spoil it for everyone :)

OH MY GOSH THIS IS KILLIN ME!!! I am banning myself from further reading this thread until the tournament is done and over with!

Deidre

Chile, my putt is skeert of the basket!

NOT!!! I got game biatch!! Be careful what you ask for you just may get it :DThis might be a good warm up for Worlds! I still have a slim chance of making this one. Do you think it will fill? Where is everybody staying? Do you want me to pay you in advance for my lesson???? NOT :eek:

looking forward to my first LOSO!! tell them Karshis boyz to pack their lunch, I'm not sleeping late this time.... :D<font color="orange"> </font>

wow already 5 hours have passed and no guesses! you people must be busy :) the competition will end at noon on Friday, so get your guesses in now!

Change of subject matter,

Can anyone tell me if Matchu and Jay Bitner are coming to LOSO? If not how about Victoria ZT10?

I have something that belongs to each one of them.

Hey Z-Crusher (aka Robbie), are any of you Aggie boys coming down for LOSO? If so you guys can stay @ my place. Let me know..... aaiiight?!

TURBO

I guess you better hope it don't rain either or you and that jeep might melt. :)

change of subject matter? Is that b/c you guys don't want to support this charity, or because you don't know Mr. Bitner's board alias? ;)

seriously, folks... I'm making this donation whether somebody wins one of these or not. Of course, I would prefer that everyone just buy one rather than giving them away... more money for the Chance Ware fund :)

If I don't have any guesses by Noon tomorrow, I'll just stop checking my PM box :eek:

Hey disc coach I dont think Jay in going but you can give whatever it is to Josh Dan to bring back to Dallas and we will get it to him..

Hey Turbo (aka Rob) - Yea the Aggie boys are definitely coming, but i think we already have a hotel lined up but im not sure. Thanks for the invite though. Let me talk it over with the boys and get back to you.

this is true, but garry wats misspelled my name :) come find me at the players' meeting (we'll be making the "motivational tool" announcement) and I'll take care of it.

Hi all,

Sorry I've been inundated with real life crap over the last several days. I hope you didn't think I was disappearing on ya. :)

Aaaaaaaaaanyway, players list should be up this afternoon and the titleDISC entries are rolling in hot and heavy over the last 2 days. Get yours in now before the cutoff (I think Thursday, but could be tomorrow, I'll check with Ben).

As for hotel deals, I'm hearing from folks that that $70 rate at the Topperwein LaQuinta is actually a pretty good deal compared to what else is out there for this weekend in that area. If you can do the Priceline thing, I'd recommend it.

More later, so as usual...STAY TUNED! :D

he lives!!!!!!!

Barely. ;)

Marcace, you know you can stay with Pete :D:D:D

Beastmaster, try a magnet it's a chain seeking device.

he lives!!!!!!!



awww man... I guess I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up :)

I don't have a problem with hitting the chains, it's staying in the basket below the chains that I have a problem with.

looking forward to my first LOSO!! tell them Karshis boyz to pack their lunch, I'm not sleeping late this time.... :D<font color="orange"> </font>



Oh Matt, Our lunches are packed !!! Come on and get you some. Rember this is our home course. I know you are not going to beat ME. I've beed Drinking for the past two weeks ( ask anyone ) and havent thrown a disk since Waco,( well One mini ) and I'm still ready for you Jeep boy.
Don't forget your putter this time :o

Mark if you are there call me Bro!!!!!!!

is there still a weds mini or is that monday now? if so what course do you guys play?

Yes Chris there is a Wednesday mini but this week it was changed to Monday because Brian will be out of town. And we alternate between UC and Live Oak. Next week it will be in Live Oak. If you were thinking about making it down Wednesday you still can. There will be some guys playing the LOSO format for some $$$$$$$. So if your not scared come on down. :D

Sorry if this has already been posted, but I'm a lazy bastid. What time is saturdays players meeting?

BTW, I just booked the Motel6 in East San Antonio (less than 12 miles from the course) for 41.99+tax for Fri. and Sat., and 29.99+tax for Sun. night. pretty good deal, i think.

I going to make it this time even if I have to swim there. what's the forecast look like this weekend? Oh and by the way, I'm not gonna spot you a 20 stroke lead this time Jimbo.....I ain't skeerd.

dont forget the sandal's :D
