Me and my buddy are going to play all of these parks on Saturday and we are coming down from Arlington.I heard that Pease Park gets busy. We just wanted to be able to play some of the best parks in Austin and I only have Saturday. So my point is which parks should we go to first, Because I heard that Pease park gets busy quick but I dont know if the others are the same way. Just looking for a game plan. Any advise will help and thanks in advance!

have you played waco? if not I would hit that course. What kinda of courses are you looking for tight, open , long, short? Rivery is a fun course right off I-35

I have played Waco, Temple and Wimberly the last time me and my buddy went on a road trip! I just heard from every one that there are some bad [*****] courses in Austin. I did some research and Pease Park, Slaughter Creek Metro Park and Bartholomew Park sounded like some fun places. But I hope we can do them all in one day!

O by the way never heard of Rivery! I like all tipe of courses but I would have to say some of my favorites are the wooded hilly courses!

Yea, the advice for starting early at Pease is good. There is a mini on saturday starting at ten at Pease, so if you finish before ten, you should be alright. My advice is to forget seawright (I've done it and it works well for me), but play circle C as it is aruably Austin's most challenging course. Bart (my home course) is a must play and can be played at most any time on saturday without a lot of crowds. As Seewhere states, Rivery is also a great course and is highly recommended. Enjoy.

thanks so much! I hope to get there early. Is rivery a park located in austin cause I thought I looked in the directory and could not find it! Thanks again for your help maybe I we will see ya out there saturday.

^^ what he said.

and if you stay an extra day, go play red rock.

ps. circle c has two sets of tees. longs and shorts: 1, 2, 4 (might want a spotter), 6, 8, 12, 14, 15, 17, 18. the holes are pretty easy to find. just remember: go up the hill on 4 and right on the trail on 9. :D

pease mini at 10am.

vvv rivery rocks

Rivery is in Georgetown, so you could play on the way in or the way out. Exit 261A off of I35, I believe...you will definately not have to worry about a crowd at this course, as well.
B.

thanks a lot mulletofyeti I checked rivery and it looks like a cool course. Hope to play alllllllllll of these courses! Later On!

yeah, rivery is pretty tough. low scores are possible, but there is trouble off the fairway...which can lead to high scores. very unique course for this area, though.
B.

Get to Austin early and play in the Pease Park mini. Lots of good friendly competition.

I would skip Bart right now. We played out there last weekend, and the course is in the worst shape I have ever seen it. I doubt I'll ever go back to this course, which used to be one of my favorites until they 'ucked it all up.

Enjoy a good lunch at Bongo's BBQ (near the Pease Park course and a disc golf supporting business).

Then, on your way out of A-town, stop in Round Rock and play Old Settlers Park and then Georgetown to play Rivery. Now you're prepared to play the next Texas 10 event (which will be played on these two courses).

So I should skip slaughter creek and barth? Darn looking forward to playing these courses. O-Well maybe I my buddy and I will take you up on ur suggestion it sounds like a fun Alternative! When is the Texas Ten? Sorry have not heard a date but I have heard of the ternament. Thanks a lot ROOSTER!

Don't skip Bart. I'm not sure what Rooster is speaking about, but the road going into Bart is usable, it needs a little mowing on #1, stay out of the shiite on the rest of the course and it's a pleasure to play.

what about circle C?

definitely go play circle c! However, there will probably be decent size crowds no matter what time of the day except early in the morning (like Pease).

If you want to go south to north, start at Circle C early morning, go play the 10 am Pease mini, have lunch, play Bart, and then hit Rivery on the way back out of town.

Texas 10 in RR and Rivery is Sept 25

skip bart. Play the ROCK!!! :cool: and rivery!
B.

Don't skip Circle C (Slaughter Creek)!!!

If you're going to try to play that many courses in 1 day, I'd skip the mini at Pease. You'll be able to play faster casually.

Have fun. I'd show you around but I'll be running the Ace Race. :)

Okay I think I am going to try Pease Park, then Circle C, then Old Setters then Rivery. Sounds like a full day! Maybe we will find someone at one of the courses to show us around.

Lago at the end of the day for a swim in the lake! :D

did you make it to austin?

Yes I went to Austin we made it there 15 minutes before the mini started at Pease Park! We had a blast, we played with Daryl and Vick I believe. Our game was not up to parr but we had a blast. Then we checked out circle C we did not see anyone out there, so we ate lunch and still no one it did'nt look that inpresive from hole 18 where we parked so we left to Old Settlers. That course was open and really long for us. We played 5 hole. We went to waco and played cameron park there then drove back the rest of the way. I guess after playing with the crowd at pease park the other course did not seem much fun. We wished there would have been more people out at the other courses. It always seems better to us when there is a crowd of people to play with! All in All we had a blast though. Take into count that we only slept 3 hours before the trip. I just bought a house so everyone decided to have a house warming party friday night. Next time I will get more sleep and find some people to play with. Thanks again for all the info.

seawright tag tourney is Jan 8
Tee off at 9:30am

Is the first round at seawright? what is the format? and entry?

seawright is first then circle c

You going?

this is first i have heard of this shin dig

yes I will b there. Nix it is like this every year. no info until the week before than its a mad house. I think you have to have a tag from this year to gety in ??

Lost a blue TEE-BIRD DX plastic on 2 at bart Nice Reward for the person who returns my blue lady lost 12-26-04

<------------------Still got #1.......

Anybody gonna play anywhere today?

Is this still happening this Saturday?

yes Chris Ware
Why do you ask? :confused: :confused: :p

have not heard anyone but us talking about it ????

It will happen, Pat told me himself.

Vinnie, does this mean you have #1?
I think Yeti has #1.

There is a problem with this format...1st round me & Seehorse team up & shoot -19 while Vinnie & ElChili team up and shoot -18. Second round we play but I end up with El Chili while Vinnie & Sehorse team up. We shoot another awesome -19 but it is impossible for El Chili to catch me. At the same time it is impossible for Vinnie to catch Seeware.
This is the reason that it is a flawed format. (we tried several years ago at another doubles final)

See y'all sat.

sounds like some good teams!!! :D

I don't have #1 anymore....I had to settle for #3.

I don't have #1 anymore....I had to settle for #3.

how did that happen
and is it going to happen again

If anyone has a tag for sale please send me a PM or call
914- 4039.

From what I heard it is $25 to play and than $10 get in the ace but than you have to buy a new tag for another $15 so I think its $50 total for this sat. Anyone know for sure?

I heard that it is $500 to play and $100 for the ace pot. You get the new tag for free though. Oh yeah if you live north of the river you can't play :D

Seriously, I don't recall what last years entry was but what you wrote sounds about right except maybe there was no fee to play or only $10? See you Saturday to find out. Also the last time I talked to Pat he had nixed any idea of double random draw but things do change.

50 to play thats awful steep for a random draw dubs the tag gets you in right? I mean i aint skreed or any thing but 50 bills come on.

maybe someone with a computer down south can play tomorrow and FILL US IN!!!!

Pat told me ( 2 weeks ago)
5$ times two rounds will cost you $10 to play for the ace.
And $15 to buy a new tag.
A total to play Saturday $25
And be there at 8:30 am

okay boys and girls got the scoop from Rene T.

Be at Seawright by 8:35ish no later than 8:45. Turn in the 2004 tag you have this gets you in the draw. Once all tags are in than he will pull tags out 1 by 1 and that is your partner for the whole day. so # 1 gets pulled than # 17 that is a team and so on. The entry is $ 10 ace pot and $15 for 2005 tag. This ought to be interesting to say the least. ;)

same partner all day?
I though they were redrawing after the first round?

that is what Rene said. So it can either be a VERY LONG day of heavy carrying or a very FUN day of being carried depends on the draw.

You can handle the carrying CW! Will you be carrying the bud light too? I'm thinking of playing myself, sounds like fun.

is this sanctioned?? HELL NO than HELL YES on the BUD LIGHT!!! :eek: see ya Sat.

good luck farkers!! this could be interesting to say the least!! please update some scores when you can !!

HUGE PAYOUT!!! Thanks Pat


1.Joel/Moody tie with Kinder/Saul (sp) -21 $1200 $600 per team.
3. Ware/S. Hemmeline, cooper/mando, Jay R/Shannon F. -20$400.00 per team
6. Rick E./S. Carter -19 $ ??
7. V.Miller/ R. Torres and A. Hughes/Zack -18 $??

Dog Owner alert.

If you take your dog to any austin disc golf course, watch them when they are off a leash. I've been informed that Austin animal control is beginning to patrol disc golf courses specifically targeting disc golfers. Two golfers that I know of have already been popped with leash law violations, one at searight and one at pease, which happened during the mini tonight. FYI

Bartholomew Park Clean Up!

Saturday, February 26th from 11 am to 4 pm
Meet in the small parking lot down by the tennis courts

Mike Kelly is a local disc golfer. He is part of a City of Austin employee group that is coordinating a public service project in Bartholomew Park. They are planning to do a "Creek Cleanup" on Saturday, February 26th from about 11 am to 4 pm. They are coordinating with Keep Austin Beautiful to help with trash collection and removal supplies. The last couple of floods have deposited a bunch of trash in the trees and in the creek overbank area.

If you have some time that day, please come on down to Bart and help clean up Austin�s oldest permanent disc golf course.

If there are any weather related issues, they've established
Saturday, March 5th as the alternate date.

For more information, contact Mike Kelly at 974-6591or

The following is from Mike Kelly��


Disc golfers,

A heads up that the City employee volunteer creek clean-up at Bartholomew Park will be postponed until next Saturday, March 5, due to the forecast of cold rain all day tomorrow.

Sincerely,
Mike Kelly

Good to hear that there is interest in cleaning this park up. Hopefully the noraml bart riff raff will show their support. we will be a little farther north playing Doubles :D

Just a heads-up that Zilker will start charging a $3 parking fee on weekends, holidays, and special events starting this Saturday March 12th.

Also, they will pull the course out for the Easter weekend (as they usually do), probably taking it out Thursday March 24th or Friday March 25th and hopefully putting it back on the following Monday or Tuesday.

The following is from Stevie Campbell�.


This is Stevie Campbell. I host the Frisbee and Disc Golf Club at Texas School for the Deaf (TSD). I want to inform you that one of the baskets is missing (8th hole) from the TSD Campus, it happened last Wednesday (March 23rd). I am very disappointed that someone has stolen a basket from TSD. The TSD students were very motivated to play disc golf everyday. They were upset because of this theft. If you have any information about this crime against kids, disc golf, and our community, please contact me at [email protected], or contact Waterloo Disc Golf Club at [email protected], (512) 858-0119.

Thanks,
Stevie

I played the bart thing....And I did not enjoy the company, the course is muddy and got construction every where,sinks,trashed,and I think is getting worse from the construction on the old airport.
This is very dishearting :(....My first round of my addition was there and now I think that course needs to be pulled :confused: I am glad no local tournaments are there cause I will not play there again!

tell us what you REALLY think!

that place is horse .......

The course needs to be pulled? horsechit

You got construction blocking one hole. BFD

That place is an eroded swamp with dead things floating in the creek. I will not express my thought on the place any furthor. But that place just makes ROUND ROCK look even better

Bart has the potential to be a beautiful place, however, I think demographics prevents it from being so, plus, the city would need to spend a lot of t.l.c. to really fix it up.
At least at Round Rock you can play a round of golf in broad daylight without your car getting broken into. :(

Bart is a great course. It's too bad it's not taken care of like some courses. Maybe when the city can get back in the limelight the place can get cleaned up.


What company at the mini did you not like Vinnie?


Your car can get broken into anywhere in this town!!!

why do you think that I moved to round rock!? I can leave my car unlocked in my drive way and everything still be in tact when I come out in the morning.... Bart was a great park, I grew up playing there. I was a cheerleader for delwood optimist, had numerous birthdays there as a child, however, the neighborhood is not what it used to be... Not only does the city need to step up, but so does the neighborhood association. If they stay on the city(park police in particular) they might could eliminate some of the riff-raff that sleeps/hangs out at that park.. ;)

I probably play Bart as much as anyone. I have played there since 1987. Never had my car broken into (knock on wood, although I know of others that have, but it is a rarity). I also putt at night and have only once ran into an undesirable (other than Hellman ;)), but he was a non-violent, space alien type. Anyways, IMO, Bart is the prettiest, greenest course in the area and thankfully, enough people dislike the course to keep backups to a minimum. :p

James, enjoy it while you can. I think the construction and creek fix up is going to make the park very popular when it's all done.

No way, there will always be some non-white people around to keep the crowd thin. :eek:

I hope you are not embracing the Olsian theory that the city will not put the course back in after the construction.

I've been known to play there but I didn't know I was scaring anyone away. :D

Anyways, IMO, Bart is the prettiest, greenest course


you sir need to get out more often
I guess if you think used pantys, condoms, needles, and occasional dead body floating by or that great smell coming from the vent of the dead is the prettest green course in the area.....then you are right!

No, but I am convinced that if Bart was in a lilly-white part of town, it would be full all the time.

Olse's theory was that the new development in the airport would make the park more used and therefore the city would want to pull the course at the behest of the nieighbors. I hope not. The tale told to me by the really old timers was that the course was originally installed to keep the drug dealers out. The area has grown more yuppified in recent years. If you don't believe me, practice around hole # 6 at dusk and watch dog owner after dog owner pass by. My feeling is that these people (mostly neighborhood folk) are quite happy coexisting with a golf course and would probably support efforts to keep it there. However, the City folks are complete asshats and are apparently driven by irrational whims, so you never know.

:D:D:D I thought you were finished with this topic.

Anyways, I have never seen dead bodies or needles out there, nor does it stink very much. Condoms, OK, I'll give you the condoms. :D

Anyways, I know alot of people that think like you do. I just don't see it that way. Personally, I still think it is the prettiest park. Easily. I suspect if I randomly took 100 out-of-town golfers to all the courses around town, Bart would receive more votes than any other park.

you sir need to get out more often
I guess if you think used pantys, condoms, needles, and occasional dead body floating by or that great smell coming from the vent of the dead is the prettest green course in the area.....then you are right!



I guess you missed the 3 or 4 condoms in the parking lot at hole 13's basket in Round Rock right where we do signups.

Let ye who is without sin cast the first stone.

Undesirable...lol...good one James.

bart is a good looking course. the water is pretty nasty around 10 and 11.

the buried shopping cart is kinda suiting.

It won't be too long before it goes down to a 9-hole course while the city completely re-does the creek in the western part of the park. The 9 holes left will be those around the tennis court/parking area.

I would really like to see that poll ! Bart would for sure get the WORST opinions. And it does stink at that course in alot of places. The entire creek runs with illegally piped in raw sewage from the neighborhood upstream. Also, from what i'm told the airport was partially built on a dump. Every time it rains, the water seeps downhill through the underground garbage into the park/creek below.
I wouldn't get into that water with any oven cuts. The water has always been polluted. Until the city starts handing out violations upstream, it will always remaim so.

open cuts... that is. ;)

say V , see what happens when you venture away from home!!!!!!!!! :D

I noticed today that on hole 10, at Bart, the basket is missing. :mad:

Yeah, some mf stole it friday night. :mad: Just sawed it off.

sounds like a GOOD neighborhood Like V was saying :D

Whatever. Round Rock ever had a basket stolen?

is there a course that has not had a basket stolen?? a lot of things seem to be stolen from the bart area!!

Sure we had a basket stole ONCE! AND ONLY ONCE!
At Barthlapeu everything is a risk of changing ownership, James be careful or someone may steal your virginity.
whoopes goes your donkey :D

Well, this is the only basket that has been stolen from Bart at least in the last three years. But otherwise, I agree that Bart is a crime-infested place where golfers are often pickpocketed on crowded days; cars are often stripped in the parking lot; dogs routinely disappear (it's true, I've seen "lost dog" signs out there) and where golfers must throw with their bag on the shoulder so as to prevent theft. Stay away. Very far away.

don't worry....far away!

I've never had any problems at Bart, I've even given disc to the kids out there. Maybe it's a Latino thing?

I've never had any problems either, except for a few trashy golfers.

But...............even though I've never had any problems, I think it is an evil, dangerous place. The average hacker who is inconsiderate is sure to be attacked and have all their possesions stolen. The good golfer who is considerate and well mannered, but who otherwise holds misguided and exaggerated feelings toward Bart is sure to ingest raw sewage merely be pulling into the parking lot. That is if their car is not stolen from them before the sewage can ooze through their closed window, and forcibly enter their body. They must avoid the virtual hellhole at all costs. :p

by george I think he's got it.

I've never had any problems at Bart, I've even given disc to the kids out there. Maybe it's a Latino thing?

i believe goblin had his car broken into recently!! literally they smashed his window out!! :confused:

He should have hug a mexican flag from the mirror :D:D

My guess is that the type of people that did this wouldn't have cared about the flag....The people that would've cared about the flag usually stay to themselves, it is the others that you have to worry about... Then again it could have been some plain old white trash.... :eek:

i think i'll try that next time i go there jerry!!!!! :D

He should have hug a mexican flag from the mirror :D:D



you have any extra flags amigo?? :D

good one E, i'm still laughing :D

I have been playing a round at Bart and have this guys walk and say " man I be honest with you I was getting ready to rob you" I think he changed his mind when he got up to me and had to look up at me. Than he tried bumming for change. The nice guy I am I gave him a BEER and sent him on his way.

Yeah, I was with you and Paul then. He didn't back off cause he saw you. It was the threat of Paul and his I'm about to kill you look that scared him off. And you gave him a beer, ya big wuss. :D

who in their RIGHT MIND is AFRAID of Joey's Twin :D:o

Print a color flag from those State printers :D

Tomorrow morning, disc golf will be on TV in Austin.

Channel 8, the Time Warner 24 hour local news channel was out doing some filming and interviews at Pease earlier this week. They are going to run the story on their morning show tomorrow. I�m not sure if it will run every 30 minutes, but probably. What will happen though is that every 30 minutes (starting at 6:10-6:15 am) they will cut to live shots at Pease Park of folks playing disc golf.

The first time they go live to Pease will be at 6:10 � 6:15 am and then every 30 minutes after that until the last shot at 8:10-8:15 am.

So if you are up that early, tune in to channel 8.

If you would like to come down to Pease to be part of it, please do so. They want at least 3 - 5 people to show playing each time. They can�t guarantee that everyone that comes down will get to be on TV, but we�ll try to get as many on as possible. You don�t have to be there for the whole thing, maybe come by for a while before going to work. We�ll start gathering to get ready for the first shoot at about 5:45 am (gads, that is early). We will gather at the practice basket area.

They have warned us that if there is some really big breaking story that morning, they may have to skip some or all of the live shots, but the possibility is not very big.

Finally, we would love to have someone tape this on their VCR . Unfortunately, I am on satellite out in Dripping Springs (no cable available out there) so I don�t get Channel 8. If you can tape this, please let me know. The club will reimburse you for a video cassette. Please tape from 6:00 am � 8:30 am so that we get all of the stuff.

Thanks,
Waterloo Disc Golf Club

Gordon I will record it in my dvr and then later when I have the time, I will transfer it to a video...I will try to have it for you by the weekend...Let me know if someone else get's it to yo sooner...

Cool, thanks!

Gordon, I'll plan on being out there by 6:00 tomorrow morning.

Can probably stay for about 1.5 hours before heading to the office.

I guess we should leave the tall boys in the cooler for this one, eh? ;)

I will try and be there as well 5:45 breakfast taco in one hand and disc in the other!! sounds kewl I must leave by 6:40!! So hit and run for me!!

sounds great guys, thanks. No tallboys and not even a flask for me. Just a little tooooo early.

I will probably bring some donuts though.

just about every segment they do will be available on their website.

http://www.news8austin.com

anyone find it? or know when it will be available for viewing? :D

It doesn't seem to be on the site yet, maybe after it finishes airing today?

The taped story should be shown throughout the day today. The live stuff from this morning won't be replayed (as far as I know).

Anyone get it recorded? Efrain, Mark, & I had a good time down there this morning. Good exposure for the sport. Thanks guys for getting up so early to help out.

I recorded it Gordon, I will try to get around to transfering it to a vhs tape tonight after work. We saw all of y'all putting like Goblin, missing those GRAVY 5 ft. putts...(j/k). Goblin said that he thinks the reporter made more short putts than you guys did... :D:D If I get the segments transfered to tape tonight, I will try to send it by Mark to Pease in the morning(if he plays). If not, I am sure he will have it Sunday am at Round Rock... :cool:

kewl thanx!! :D

to Pease to work on the course. Most of the tee boxes are done. We still need a bunch of yellow rope. I hear the sanitation dept is cleaning out under the bridge today. It will be nice if they carry off the heroin addicts too!

Dave will you or Mike be at peace with the trailer today?

Dave is always at peace with his trailer. He seems to be at peace with most things. ;)

so what time is tee and how many holes is the mini?

5:30..... 18 holes
you going?

not sure kid is out of town for 2 weeks so need to see what the wife wants to do. arg got my 1 round in at peace for this year.

scores :confused:

scores from what? :confused:

Da mini!! :D

oh....ME.....I scored at the mini....:p....and Joel.....hehe...we tied at -4

I think we as "real" disc golfers owe it to the sport to educate the one-discers on the sensibilities of our game. I have returned SEVEN found discs this last two weeks (a combo of my low level and the # of holes I throw) while losing two with NO CALLS! Please take EVERY opportunity while playing with some "casuals" to gently persuade them to NOT litter their cigarette butts on the ground (it's against the rules not to mention the law) and that keeping a found disc with a ph# on it is THEFT and the Universe will never allow that disc to work for you anyway, so might as well return it. Let us use our wonderful sport as a means to teach our children well. Seriously. Take a sec and say "please don't do that." Your society thanks you. I'm no hardass mind you, just trying to defend the parks I call home. These three. And if you need me I'll be the guy picking up about 200 butts a round.

Saturday, June 11 the Ladies of Live Oak will be joining the Texas Outdoor Womens Network at Twin Parks Country Club for a wonderful day of disc golf and relaxation. www.twinparkscountryclub.com (http://www.twinparkscountryclub.com)

We will tee off at 9:00 so please plan to be there before then. I am trying to avoid the heat so we need to start as early as we can. There are two courses at Twin Parks and would like everyone to sample both of them. We will all play 9 holes on the Shire and 9 holes on the Hill course.

9:00 tee off
11:00 Lunch
12:00 tee off
2:00 MARGARITAS!!!

Twin Parks Country Club has a pool for our use that day. Please bring swimming clothes if you are interested. Please visit the www.twinparkscountryclub.com (http://www.twinparkscountryclub.com) for more info concerning the country club. This place is super cool, brand new and very nicely decorated. There are snacks and drinks available for purchase at the country club.

The lunch will be as followed:

Citrus marinated breast of chicken, char grilled to perfection, then topped with grilled pineapple relish. Accompanied by herbed cous cous and marinated asparagus. Served with you choice of drinks and bread rolls.

The cost per person for the greens fees and lunch will be $15.00.

We will have discs for your use and plenty of prizes so dont miss out.

Bring plenty of drinks, and good attitudes.

See ya there!!

Hellooooo Newbies!!
I want to update everyone ��..
Zilker Park may start charging a $3 entry/parking fee (I think it�s per vehicle)� The Waterloo Disc Golf Club has decided to reimburse All Newbies for this charge!!!!!
Just pay the $3 at the entrance & when you get to Newbie Night someone from the club will reimburse you. ALSO�..Millennium has come aboard as a MAJOR sponsor! They will donate disc golf equipment every week for us to give out (this is in addition to our normal donations/prizes)! NOT ONLY THAT�..The Newbie who brings the most new Newbies by the end of the season (when the time changes) will win a Brand New Disk Golf Bag filled with a Brand New set of Discs!!!!!
All I can say is WOW! I wish there were opportunities like this available when I was a Newbie!
We will also have �premium� discs available. These are super light weight discs that fly more like a �frisbee�.

I hope to see you all Thursday!

It also sounds like the club's thursday night mini at Zilker is going well. Turnout has been good and the ace pot last night started at around $110.

Lots of aceable holes there, so come on down next week.

Gordon, my third place trophy disc from COTO is Pro Masters.Must be a duplicate for J.Camp

Gotcha, thanks for checking.

So on thursday at Zilker at 5:30, I will make it next thursday. :cool:

Open was won last night with -7.

Not bad -7, should I bring a CTP prize? I'll bring a CTP prize, see ya'll there.

We played the 9 holes on the north side twice, funny man. :)

In open, I only know Dale won with -7.
McCrimmon -3, Roger Allen -2, Lou -2, and Dan Mueller -1 cashed in the am division.

Dale H -7...Mike Olse -6...George Garcia -5(way to step up Jorge)for last cash...Dagon and Alex Downs at -4... :D

WTG Dale. Nicer fella couldn't have done it up, but that better look more like -10 for those 18 holes the way I'm shootin' lately. GET OUT TO TPCC FOR THE GLOW ROUND @ 9 PM THIS SUNDAY ALL YOU PARTY PEOPLE!!! (free beer)

and the Waterloo weekly Mini just not sure what time it starts but I would say be there by 5:15 or so..

Lou??

The mini starts at 5:30.

Team Justice does a great job of teaching basics to new players. If you know anyone that might be interested, let them know or bring them out.

Everyone show up. I hear you can win the mini with a seven under. :eek: :p :D

I noticed that!! very inticing!!!! :D

yep, easy to win :Dand everyone has a chance at the acepot, now over $100 and growing.

Bart is now 14 holes. The baskets on 13 and 14 were too close to the construction so they were removed before anything happened to them.

From the 19 hole layout of the course before the construction, you can still play 1-8, 10, 11, and 15-19.

scores from Zilker?

I stopped by after picking up the baskets. I only know that Dagon and Steven H tied for 1st with -10 out of about 10 open players.

You should of played Zilker.It's longer than Kitty Hollow :D

It's about time that you picked up those baskets :p and it's about time that someone shot double digits at Zilker. Way to go Stevie and Dagon!!!!

Lou, why not move one of the baskets to 9?

maybe longer but not near the challenge. -10 in singles PLEASE real tuff course. did you play El chile or are you just blowing smoke out your arse again? :D

James, Joel kept one of the baskets to either replace that one or put in a new temp hole. I didn't know you were a fan of hole 9. ;)

I like number nine. The main reason is that casuals get confused. Also, most casuals have no business trying to play 9 to 10. It is a safety and time issue, or will be if it ever gets cool enough to play out there again. :p

That storm on Thursday felled a lot of big limbs on 18 and near the practice basket @ Pease. Anyone with a chainsaw please contact me if you'll let me use it in exchange for the firewood I collect (and will deliver) - about a cord and a half or so by my reckoning. The city will be out there in about a month or so...or I can handle it.

about a cord and a half or so by my reckoning.





You been reading some Louis Lamour books or somethin?..J/K

No, just educated in the lost art of linguistics. Anybody wanna brave the heat down south this afternoon?

does anyone have access to a course map or a link to such for the new circle c???? It was tough playing without knowing where i should throw!!!

kewl , thanx lou!! what a great course !! big kudos to the people that worked so hard to make this happen!! :D

anyone playing peace this am?

The Waterloo weekly mini at Zilker tonight has an ace pot that starts at $198. Sign up 5 pm, tee off 5:30 - Come and get it!

Well, there had been a workday scheduled at Searight this Saturday. HOWEVER, because of all the rain and mud, the city has <font color="red"> cancelled it. </font> As soon as it is re-scheduled, we'll let everyone know.

Is there something wrong with Searight? I'm headed down there in a few weeks and I wanted to play that course. Thanks for the help.

its always crowded!!! easy course!!

nothing wrong with it but needs alot of attention. That course gets alot traffic and no one takes care of the course so tee box pretty much sux. I would play circle C and Round Rock before playing mary moore just my 2cents

Thats all you got is 2 cents :D:D

The rest is beer money!!! only 2 spare cents to offer!! :D

I found tag #41 (2004) on the ground at Bart yesterday. If it is yours and you want it back, let me know.

I hear Bart is a real GEM right now. :D especially if you like playing the same holes more than once!!! :eek:

Was ein fickener Witz :D

I have no idea what this means, but I hope it is an appropriate response. It takes me too long to format the finger symbol. :p

you said "what a FICKEN joke" :D

Waterloo started working on the course. The teebox on hole 1 was fixed and the granite trail between the parking lot and the course was put in. The city asked Waterloo to not make any more improvements to the course until they did some drainage work on hole 1 which still hasn't been done.

Jerry Vela has been leading the charge at the course recently and he and some hardworking volunteers have put in new benches, levelled teeboxes, and spread mulch on some the fairways to make it less muddy when it rains. The city has since asked that no more mulch be put on the course because a guy playing in sandals got a splinter in his foot.

It's gotten some attention but like every park, it could always use more.

What times is the mini at peace start now a days?

I think 5:20 ish

can anyone tell me what day of the week is this mini?

I think Pat Kinghorn still runs a mini at Circle C at 10am on Sundays.

Waterloo moved it's Thursday afternoon mini from Circle C to Zilker about 2 months ago.

And unless someone hit the ace last week (I don't think they did or we would have heard about it), then tomorrow night's Zilker ace pot should start at over $225.

starts at $222...and we could use a guest pro for
newbie night

...and we could use a guest pro for newbie night



McCaine, care to teach the newbies how to throw a laser? If they were impressed with "big arm" distance, they'll build a shrine for you. :D

...if they haven't already. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

tonight

Laura Coffee hit the CTP'd ace pot last Saturday at
the Pease Mini. She almost knocked the basket over! Come on out to Pease tommorow a.m. if you can. We tee at 10:00am. Please show up and sign up before 9:45am, this will ensure that we tee on time.

nice job Laura!!! :D

did the zilker ace fll like cat hollow's $186

Nope. The Zilker ace pot is still growing. It should be close to $300 next week. It must be harder than it looks. :D

scores? how many people? who won open? was the living legend james Mccaine there?

I don't know who won but there were 13 open players.

I ran Newbie Night. "The Legend," "Laser," and "Scowly" James McCaine was not able to attend. I'll keep working on him.

3 way tie at 49 won it

Mike Olse
Billy Moody
Jayme Wilson

good to see Jayme is still playing. thanks

the huge thumber Jayme?

yepper

Ace pot will start at $276 :D

new best score on circle c this weekend. mike olse shoots a smokin 60. nice round mike.

you sure that is the best I have heard Vinnie saying he has shot like -4 or something like that. :D

was told that the previous best was 64 by two different players, one being olse and the other???
you say vinnie shot 59? well done. vinnie will let us know:)

I was playing with casuals....but the first time I played I shot a 59, next time I played it I shot a 70. But recorded rounds are recorded during minis or tournaments.
So my 59 is no good!
I really like the course......I wonder if the P.D.G.A. will ever pass through there.

Vinnie shot a 59 at Circle C!!!!!!

Wow, he really IS good. :D

and thanks, your 59 will temper Mike's ability to crow about his mere 60. :D

jk Good shooting Mike.

wow. everytime you talk about it you shot better the first time. you told me you shot a 62 the first time. so which is it???? maybe you need to put more sun tan lotion on that bald cranium of yours....... :o

I stand corrected....it was a 62. You will have to excuse me...I have this beat mike by 1 stuck in my head for some reason. ;)
And that bald statement will only fire me up to say
" SHUT YOUR DONKEY YOU SKINNY UNDEFINED GENDER COURSE DESIGNER WANT TO BE"

ah-ha! had to do some searching but I found it.........62 is still a smokin round for your first time. when you going to make it out to circle c to play again vinnie??? mini sundays at 10. although, i guess you dragons still have that $1000 ace pot. i haven't heard of anyone hitting it, which i'm sure we'll all know when someone does.

"finally made it out there, played behind the waterloo mini....shoot 62
I like the course and there sure has been a lot of HARD work out there.And lots more that can be done....well done fellers.
And as far as #21 ....I worm burned a shot to the gap and ended up throwing a sky roller over the top. It put me in the center of the field with a straight shot to the hole....got a 4. But a short shot up the middle and thumber or sky roller next, makes the hole not very hard.I really like the last 350' of that hole. Too bad that can't be hole 22. IMO hole21 is an ok finishing hole. THIS NOT A WHINE MR.OLSE, SO DON'T START ! You all have done a good thing out there and I understand your passion for the work you have done. By far the best course in AUSTIN."

nice work...now if you put as much work into putting as you did into that search. You may have won worlds. :D

hey at the zilker mini what side is the course on and do you play 9 holes twice? what time does it start again. thanks

Zilker baskets are on the north side until the ACL festival. They'll moved to the south side for the winter after that.
The mini starts at 5:30. Go teach Olse how to play some golf already. :)

and twice around the nine.

Plus, if you come to the mini today C-Ware, I'll have the club's sponsorship stuff for Outlaw Singles with me. :D

I will see. but if I don't can you give it to someone going to corpus clash bunch of dragons will be there. thanks for the info

No problem, that was already the standby option.

?? what is the entry fee tonight?

$8 entry + $2 ace pot = $10 total ;)

thanks if you get there before 5:00 do you still have to pay parking?

The park only charged during special events; concerts, plays, etc. They're done for the summer. No parking fees.

The parking fee ended a week or two ago (it was because of a summer movie program). We should be back to free parking.

Chris, if you can't make it, we'll send our sponsorship stuff with Mike Olse down to the Coastal Clash. He can then give it to you or Vinnie or another dragon.

Ricky W and I will be there see you guys at the park . you mean the waterloo mini is not considered a special event?? :p

no aces on 9 putt putt holes twice :confused:. . thanks waterloo for stepping up and holding a mini at the course I first started playing on oh what memories. saw a guy throw a disc on # 3 cut rolled to the street went OB hit a car's front tire and kicked it back into play about 80ft closer, than he throws it into the trees in front of him twice from about 60ft from the hole. crazy thing is this hole is about 220FT :D


18 OPEN wow
scores:paid 5
-10 wins Olse and Smoking Joe split $80
-9 Dave? dont know his last name old guy $34
-7 Eric Salazar and me. split $30

so the ace must be over $300 sign up by 5:20ish and tee off at 5:30.

I'll be there.
The ace pot is going down tonight.

where there any aces?

Nothing.
It looks like we may have to wait until the course is moved to the south side after the ACL Fest before seeing an ace out there. :)

Hey Lou your on fire :D:D

There will be one more chance next week. The baskets won't be pulled until Friday Sept. 16th, so we'll have our weekly mini as scheduled on the 15th.

There won't be a mini on Thursday Sep 22nd or Sep 29th. We will resume on October 6th on the south side.


Ace pot near $370! :D

I'll be there to clear that peske ace pot! Blue wasp on hole 6!

Is tonight the last chance at the ace on the north side than after ACL it will be set up on the south side?

That's right. North side tonight and then 2 weeks with no baskets because of ACL.

The minis will resume on the south side on Thurday, Oct 6.

well the ace did not last. after our first 5 holes I said to Chris rogers and smoking Joe if I ace I will give you each $50. They both agree 3 holes later Chris aces # 9. Joe looks at me and says that $50 our way... :D

-8 wins 3 way tie
Joe T

$410 for the ace (well, $310 after sharing with his card buddies :D).

Congratulations Chris!!!

Minis will resume at Zilker on Oct 6th on the south side. Then there will be a short break on the 13th (1 day before Waterloo, so no mini that week), and then two more minis on Oct 20th and Oct 27th. Then that pesky time change occurs and things won't start back until the spring.

Thanks everyone for all your support at our minis! :)

guess we need to head to grapevine next weds to show them BOYS how to do it..




While you're at it, head over to Round Rock and show them BOYS how to do it. :p :D

:D dont worry that RR one will be taking care of this Sunday

Does anyone know who takes care of fallen trees at the course. A tree has fallen on #12's tee box at the long box,if not does anyone have a chainsaw? It looks as if the tree split right down the middle.
