I'll be there, I want revenge on this course after those two rounds in the rain at the Northside Open.

Sweet!

I'll be in too Wyatt! :O

OK..... Where is Conroe, TX again? I have ventured this entire state yet.... :D

just outside of houston

A bit to far for me.... :(

why did the date change?

Best open "available" date according to the current PDGA schedule....can you not make it CF? Oh yeah....the City of Conroe built a new box on number one at McDade made from materials Conroe already had (aka FREE). I encourage everyone to go check it out and give feedback on the PDGA or the HFDS websites. If most people like it, Conroe will build new boxes on every hole before the tourney. Let us know how you like them.

how long are they?

Dimensions: 4 ft wide at the front of box, aprx 8-9 ft long,....back of box is about 7 ft wide....so the entire box flares out towards the back. According to Conroe, they're made of a packed wood chip material surrounded with a wood border to help prevent errosion. I have not personally seen the final product...I'm stuck here in Austin with work. Like I said, we need feedback from players of all skill levels to make a descision on wheather or not to proceed with the rest of the course.

After having the Saturday mini, we had several people express there dislike of the new tee box. We are going back to the city of Conroe for either conrete or matted tee boxes.

they have to be better than the origonall box where you had to step over that ditch.

I would go to cement, and an elevated box.

what ever yall do i would recomend against making the boxes to short where you have to step up onto them like at Veterans. I would make them at least 8.5 to 9 feet long.

Cement is the way to go. But Conroe wants us to pay for half.

I thought that conroe funded money for the course for such things.

You think they would, but they have a budget to maintain.

Ask the guys at Victoria how they defrayed the cost of installing their boxes. I'm sure their budget constraints were very similar to Conroe.

We asked Conroe for cement tee pads and they asked us to test the current tee box. Jon is currently sending them a proposal to install cement boxes. Hopefully the tournament in January will push them a little. We will see their response.

too bad that the locals are some whiners or you could use the course fund to start the funding of the pads because cement is expensive.

You might try asking HFDS for some help too Wyatt...they might figure out a way to help raise some funds for it.

I hope we can come up with something. Concrete wold be sweet.

On the LSDGA calender there is a Woodlands tourney the week after the Northside Freeze. Is it still going to be played that soon after since it is just down the 'street'? If so, it sounds like I might have to spend two weekends with the out..I mean in-laws. :D

Is there any info out on the Woodlands tourney yet?

I'm stoked for the FREEZE baby!......Let's get the grass roots going and beat the C'Roe Open tournout!!!!

The Woodlands tournament is not being ran by us. The Woodlands is running it.

are you kidding.

is it going to be sanctioned.

what a bunch of pansies.

The woodlands rec department decided it was not hard to run a tournment, so they are going to do it themselves. I even offered to help out and try and make it a good tournment, but I guess they don't want any help.
I don't know if they have it sanctioned. They have tried a couple times to put on a tournment, to no avail. We will see what happens this time. :p

No one will show up to a tournament when the City is running it and they're taking 30% of all entries...plus, if you cash, they'll be kind enough to send you and the IRS a 1099 ! LOL Robbie ;)

realy, thats the first i have heard of that.

we should start a pool, over or under five players.

No, No..you're looking at it all wrong...

Show up and you have a guaranteed spot in the top 5!! :D

...of course you would still be out of the cash

will signups be taken the morning of the tournament?

i am planning on attending, along with a buddy and my little brother, but i dont know for sure if i can come until january. it will also depend on the weather since i'll be driving 200 miles.

we're going out there to mcdade this afternoon since i'm in town for christmas. what is an average ma1, ma2, and ma3 round out there so i know what division is appropriate for us?

thanks, brian

I'm a proud Graduate of CHS (go Tigers), my in-laws live in The Woodlands, and I really need some revenge on that course after its inaugeral tournament.

This time, I'm not going to spend 8 hours and $$$ at Pappa's on the lake the night before. Ok, actually I probably will.

Either way, I'm there.

I think that 54 to 49 would be the average advanced scores.

I believe that 46 won the last couple of mini's in the open division.

will we be allowed to register the morning of the event, or the day before?

I call 48 to 46 in adv. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Yes we will take sign ups the morning of the event. But please be there early, players meeting is at 8:30 am and tee off will be at 9:00. So if you are planning on signing up the morning of be there before 8:00 please. If you can make it the day before Shawn and I will be out there all day friday.

maybe for the baggers that play advanced in Houston.

:p

You should know we have no baggers in H-town. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

they have you don't they?

But other than that all the baggers in Houston play int, for life.

:D

Vargas now has me in the ratings but that won't last long The results from wimberley and maybe Kim's will go in so i'll move up. :confused: :confused:

move up!!! its about time bagger!! lol

Hey Ladies, this is a great course for the girls. I hope to see some of you down here next month. At least it won't be too hot! And I don't think we have to worry about snow again for decades, so please come down for a great day of golf!

And cfles, why don't you just shut your pie-hole about Houston and it's golfers. You've never been a part of golf in South Woodlands, so why do we bother you, a pro, so much?Why do they get under your skin in such a big way?

Just curious.

Happy New Year to ya!

First of all mind your own business.

I was just joking around with Matt, and if I want your opinion I will ask for it. Or I will try to wake you from your stumbling around drunk pathetic self.

And I have never been apart of disk golf south of the Woodlands because there is not much golf south of the Woodlands. There are some great courses but no organization, and a bunch of drunks who are way too sensitive.

:p

You know it's funny, the reason I reacted and posted my comment was due to the way I felt after I read your recent posts. Honestly, Mr. Sensitive, I can't recall anyting I've ever read of yours that wasn't littered with complaints, negative comments and general attacks on someone or something.
If you could find it in your heart (if you have one) to just remember..........................


This is just a discussion board, and I was just pointing out the obvious. Hey, we appreciate you staying out of Houston, that way, we don't have to show you the way back to the suburbs. We'll just hand you your hat, and burp in your face in the process. My suggestion is that you examine the prevailing messages in your past posts and lighten up! :p

Now now CFles, there are plenty of quality golfers south of the Woodlands.........

Yeah sure there is likeeeeee......???????? :D:D

Now Sue, tell us what you really want to say, and don't go editing.

You are right in that I also have never read anything positive from Cfles. Where I grew up we had a name for somebody like him and after awhile of his 'whaa, whaaing' he would be takin' out behind the barn to the woodshed for a good ol'home grown whipping. :o

I'm guessing he didn't grow up with good manners.

I am looking forward to play!! and kick mr. cooper [*****]. ha ha, I missed going there last year because I got married on that day! grrrr... I did went into disctitle.com and its not ready to take regist and payment yet?.

It's obvious he still hasn't grown up! Mind my own business? NOT! Not here, not now. If you want to keep something "private", make use of the PM feature, etc.

No, what we have here is a spoiled little boy, and cfles, I did have one question that I wanted to ask, but never had the chance when you complained about the Farmdango.

WHAT IF YOU HADN'T CASHED? WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE HAD TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THEN? I'M SURE THAT YOU COULD HAVE FOUND SOMETHING........"THERE WEREN'T FLUSHING TOILETS OR ROOM SERVICE"

NO, CHRIS, ONCE AGAIN, LIGHTEN UP!

As one who's been around the block a time or two, life is just too short to get so ruffled about soch trivial things. I think that's why most of us play this game. So we can stop and enjoy the simple things in life, right?

Ok in defense of chris he wasn't talking bad about houston or its golfers and remember we have freedom of speech. :D:D

No problem.

Or as the family says.........

forget-about-it! ;)

Hey sorry about titledisc.com we are taking care of it right now. It should be ready tomorrow.

signups on the day of?

u sure u want to show up Kid? :) i will get alittle revenge this time.. -12 will be good enough

Yes, we will take sign ups the morning of the event. But please be there early, players meeting is at 8:30 am and tee off will be at 9:00. So if you are planning on signing up the morning of be there before 8:00 please. If you can make it the day before Shawn and I will be out there all day friday.

Gary you should've shown at Wimberley but yeah I'll see you there. :D:D

I never said there was not any, because there are plenty of them that kick my butt on a regular basis.

And as for me being negative all the time, whatever.


Like I said I was just joking around with Matt about him beating open players and playing advanced, and if you chose to take that the wrong way than so be it.

And I will take the suburbs over the ghetto any day.



:D :D /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Yeah what he said>! :D:D

Down in the ghetto, we all have fun. It's better than thinking your better than everyone else, and I'm not referring to your golf game.

I did grow up in that area and love it, despite the fact that you sometimes reside there. LMAO!

This exchange, like yours is just for fun, remember that.
I know I do.

Titledisc.com is now open for signups.
http://www.titledisc.com/Events/NorthSideFreeze.php

That�s funny.

You have met me once and you think that you know me. When have I ever suggested that I was better than anybody?

You are the one who is consistently insulting me, now remember that.

:confused:

Hey little Matt.. Dont worry about him, because u can just whop his [*****] real easy, why dont u and him make a side bet? I will bet on u. :D

I'll take Matt in that one as well...

I think Chris still has him in smack talk though :D

But I have the avatar. :D:D

He smoked me at the snow farm so who knows. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :confused: /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I'm sure those five OB strokes had somthing to do with that.

6 that is and i shot better sunday in the massive wind. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

How the heck did you get 6 ob's at the farm???

4 in the 1st 6 holes. The trees were playing catch and on our card I was the only one to ever get stuck and I did it 6 times!!! :confused: :confused:

We've met more than once. And I did spend a weekend in San Saba with you, too. Remember? :confused: Oh, I forgot, you left out of there before we had broken down camp, You didn't seem to interested in helping the team out amd we all had longer drives facing us back to The Woodlands.

Let's just agree to disagree and move on.

6 OB?? what is that?, I have never seen anyone or got that many OB?? wow! poor u little Matt.. no wonder u had that pic. of little boy with that little middle finger. ha ha.. maybe u stop fly that gateway discs.. u will play better. :p

That�s the only time that I have met you.

And you are the one who didn't seem to want to spend time with the team. The only time we saw you was when you were stumbling into camp around midnight and out of your tent in the morning.

And am I supposed to pack your tent up for you?

I was more worried about my civic getting out of that mud pit, before the trenches got worse.

No I was out of gateway drivers and the ones I stuck in the trees were Innova. :D:confused: :D

Oh chris my dad and I might actually play Z-Boaz. :D:confused: :D

I didn't party in my usual style that weekend. So you must be recalling stories of party weekends gone by. And as far as hanging around with you guys.............most all of you are all babies, who I don't really know. I was the outsider, a visitor from the Ghetto. ;) And I did hang out with our team. I did visit my friends from out of town, as events like that are the only times I might get to see them.

As for my tent, I'm a big girl and I can handle my own.

That�s real mature.

Telling me I need to grow up and calling us all babies.

You were slamming whiskey all weekend, so if that is not your usual style I would hate to see what it.

Hypocrite.

Cool, you should smoke these advanced players up here.

Where's Schweb?

Playing disc golf...

WELL

BuTT where's Schweb?

two in half weeks left.

My dad and I may not make this one. :confused: :confused:

Cfles.............your message was delivered to me at MacGregor yesterday. I just wanted to thank you for thinking about me! LMAO!

Can't wait to see you next week! :D

Hugs and Kisses!

Rumor has it that a member of the PDGA Board is flying in for the Northside Freeze.

Make sure to get signed up for this one early...I wouldn't be surprised if it fills.

Well since Rooster posted what he did, I want to ask...IS there going to be a cap on the entries or are you assured a spot if you register the morning of ?

I

Well with 4 people on a card we can have 72 players. If we allow 5 people on a card we can have 90. But we also have room to add a few extra holes if we have to.

We will be having a Juniors Tournament on the following Saturday at McDade Park. For more information please see below (under "In Town Tournaments/Conroe Juniors Classic":
web page (http://www.hfds.org/cgi/discus/discus.cgi)

The Dbls. friday the 21st will be from 2 to 5 flex start, if we have enough daylight. It will be $10 per person, bring your partner Dbls.

i will post a roster sometime this weekend. Keep the entry's coming.

Looks like we're going to have an amazing tournout.....Wyatt, get that player's list out ASAP!!!! Rumor has it that there will be some PDGA officials at this tournament....Let's show them what Texas has to offer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Locals, I will personally kick you ASSSSSSS, if you don't show up! I will be in Houston Friday morning for doubles......Everyone is welcome even if you can't show up for the tourney on Saturday....Moffit Rats, come on out!!!!!!!!!! Let's make this the tourney of all tourneys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Matty U and your Dada chicken out? What is your excuse not to attend this one? N. side too good for u guys? ha ha. :D

GO GO VIKES!!! <font color="purple"> </font>

Sorry the roster is late.

Wow some Louisiana boys signed up.

I got my money on Eric.

:D

Chris, haven't seen your registration. Hope you are not getting scared off by Eric or the Houston guys. :confused:

I'll come down if you pay my entry fee. That is going to be a tough field to cash in.


:D:p :D

y'all don't let eric scare y'all away now. he's got a bad neck injury and probably won't be 100%. so don't be a bunch of texas cow-girls! :D

I consider it more of a business decision. 4 or 5 open players with a 980 and above player rating on a course that a stink it up on, with exception to that 10 down which I don't know how that happened.

Good luck to all the local boys.

Going to title-disc right now to get in on this one in my old home town.

66 degrees with a mere 30% chance of rain on Saturday. It'll hold off and we'll have some great winter golf.

How's the course look now? Dry?

hey can somebody shut that cat up? that's some loud meowing i hear...

The course is very nice, cut grass and very dry.

I love this course, but the course have a lot of basket that are on right side.. for players who are lefty, u will be doing really good. :p

The Dbls. friday the 21st will be from 2 to 5 flex start, if we have enough daylight. It will be $10 per person, bring your partner Dbls.

I may make it ..I got a roasting to go to and I just might make a day of Houston.

Right now ther are 4 open players.

Jim Davidson

half the Open field are Louisianans!

seems the only thing Texans are more afraid of than Okies are Louisianans :D

ah.... nice observation....As many events there are scheduled in Texas. I wonder why I hadn't seen that many LA BOYS playing them. Its a scared factor....you know like how we are scared to play the northside freeze. ;)

I was wondering how many 1 and 2 person divisions will be allowed? I got a very old friend that wants to play.

We will have Rec, Int, Adv and Open for both Men and Women. We are only having divisions of 4 players or more in alternate divisions, such as Open Master or Rec Grand Master. Please put down an alternate division if requesting a division other than Rec, Int, Adv or Open.

That sounds about right.

Hey Wyatt, what do you mean no local open players. I'm signed up, it sounded like Bubba might be playing, and you KNOW Robbie H. is going to be in attendance.

What division would Bubba play? He did play Advanced at MacGregor.

Hey tony do you want the trophy in advance for this one too? :D:D

Looks like the freeze will have a great turnout, but hopefully it doesn't live up to its name. I will see everyone there and keep those adv. players coming. :D

Yep, so it's not worth it for you to show up...

:)

I'll second that........ Stay home Scooter!! I don't think you've ever beaten me, except for this past weekend in a casual round, and I don't need you showing up and ruining my good record!

(Nahh... just kidding, BRING IT!)

No I wasn't in the running for DFL so you have no need to worry. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Hey Wyatt, there were 5 in the open division, what happened to Larry Owen?

He moved to ADV. old guy. By the way why is crites playing adv? :confused: :confused:

Ahhh. I see, either Jerry accidentally signed up for the wrong division or he wanted to take you on.

I have never beaten JD; Ha I laugh at your stupidity :D:D

Post some results!!!! (Unless you actually find some that substantiate your claim)

I beat you by 5 at moffit even though there are no results. :confused: :confused:

Sorry, no results, then it NEVER Happened!!!

I need them so that my rating will go to 970 soon. :confused: :confused:

OK with good weather I'm saying -18 or 19 in open -15 in adv. and -8 in int. will win it. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Larry said that if there was enough players in Adv. master that is what he wanted to play in.

Man, I wish I could play, I have to do the Pine Wood Derby thing with my kid, then we are off to Houston for the night. (my wife and I)

JD you Need to take THIS PUNK TO SCHOOL THIS WEEKEND!!!! :D

For people who signed up with the PDGA at the first two GCCS events, the reports are in to the PDGA and I have sent Wyatt your names.

don't forget about doubles tommorrow....flex start 'round 2pm.....DO IT!!!!!!!!

Mikey, Erik, and I are leaving New Orleans in about 15 minutes. Erik and Mikey are explaining to me how it is that so many local Texas open players are afraid of them and haven't registered yet. I guess I'll hear that for the next 6 hours. :(

Forecast looks outstanding!!!!! Friday, High 78 degrees, no rain.....Saturday, High 72, no rain. All you "scared" locals better show up since the weather is going to be nice. We're working with the city today to clean up the course...It will be in the best condition EVER!

I am sure that all of the local Houston And Woodlands open players will be there. But I don't think that there is more than 8 or 9 of them.

Jim, Joe, Bubba, Robby, Brain, Kim, Jack, and that is all that i can remember. Open players are usually the last ones to sign up for a torney.

Sorry if i left anybody off the list.

Jeff Rains, Sean Warley...

There is also Wilchek and Dambra (both regularly play Master). Though I don't know if Don would make the trip from the way-down south side.

Don't know if they're all skeered or just typical Open players.

"All you "scared" locals better show up since the weather is going to be nice." Three nice weekends in a row make Macgregor GCCS #1 a DISTANT January memory lmao

doubles scores?

I was told that Joe and Bubba won open with a -13, and there was a three way tie in advanced.

congrades to Joe and all the players
So Terry ....we know the trip from New O started with texas players are skeered. What was the conversation back to New O? ;)

tourney ain't over yet.. that was DUB scores..ooops 1 dayer glad I did not go.

joe won .......check the results

Great event! A big thank you to everyone who made it happen.

Looks like the 90 feet that was added to hole 1 will keep 46 people from getting ratings from this event. Something to consider for next time...

Gimp,

Why wouldn't there be ratings for the divisions that played the regular tee box on #1?

It looks like there are enough propegators in those divisions...is there something additional that the TD needs to do?

on the ride home we couldn't stop talking about how disappointed we were that vinnie didn't show up to finish DFL. :)

this was the best tournament i've played in a long, long, time. it was really incredible! the amount of work on the teeboxes really impressed me the most. and the 9 AM start for a one-day event was a great idea. the course was probably the hardest and most challenging course i have ever played! i can't wait for the next event in conroe.

Vinnie, mostly it was "Aren't disc golfers great people?" and "Those darned tee pads"; combined with an occasional "Watch out for that semi!"

Hey Gimp i noticed that. Why did yall not get rated?

If I were about 2 inches tall and hd no other purpose in life, I would volunteer to sit on Mikey's (left, blue-state) shoulder and repeat, every 30 seconds, "Not everyone gets your sarcasm, Mike."

I believe it is because there are not enough people with a rating over X amount. I think they call them propagators.

is that a sarcastic remark?

the courses outside of Texas must be birdie fests, because I find it hard to believe that Mcdade is a hard course.

:confused:

He must be referring to how good he played on Saturday.

The course was in great shape, and was very organized. I want to thank wyatt for not knocking that lady out who said this was a dangerous sport. Also congrats to robbie who had me scared the whole tournament and didn't choke like in past tournaments. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I don't think the McDade Park course in Conroe is an easy course. It doesn't have incredibly long holes or pro par fours but there's a bunch of tough threes out there. There's a lot of deuces to be had, but a bogey-free round can be elusive. Any round in the 40s there is a good score, imo.

My best at MAC from the longs all 21 -4 my best Mcdade -10 so I would say MAC is a tougher course. By the way it is my home course. :confused: :confused:

Work keep me from showing up and finishing DFL :confused:
But it looks like yet another top notch event in Texas.
You boys missed me so much their a few events in Texas this year you all should avoid semis for. I'll be waitin :D

Yeah Vinnie you should've showed so I could have kicked you donkey. :D:D

Did the advanced play the same tees as the open?

What is the proper starting time for a one day event? I don't get that criticism.

Yeah we played the same tees. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I thought it was a great tourney (fun wise), sure the tee-boxes could have been a little better, but the only problem I had on them was hole 15 where I located my plant foot sideways to close to the board marking the t-box and thus could not rotate my foot with my throw, causing a very quick release and some pain in my knee. But that could have just been my fault for trying to take every inch of that box? :confused: But as always, it's nice to get out to a park on pretty land, even if it won't necessarily challenge every aspect of your golf game (although you couldn't tell by my first round). Congrats to Joe Hague for some solid shooting, and to Matt for pulling out the victory after being 3 strokes back from Robbie with 9 holes to go. Also, congratulations to Robbie Bratten (who shot his highest rated round ever), who continues to elevate his golf game and with a little more time will be a force to be reckoned with in the Open ranks.

Organizers, there seems to be a discrepancy between the payout amount listed and payout amount received, please send me an e-mail @ [email protected]

Thanks, and looking forward to the next Conroe tournament,

JD

****, I had my money on Jim. :D

Nice shooting Matt and Robbie. Y'all beat some nice pros.

Joe Hague is the best golfer that disappears and reappears.

JD. Awesome second round, but not good enough to beat cus and super bagger. :D

I believe it is because there are not enough people with a rating over X amount. I think they call them propagators.



Aren't propagators players over 800 and you have to have 10 of them? If so, 13 qualify (not counting the 2 DNS's).

That is what I thought as well Tony... It looks like the information was put in correctly, so I guess the PDGA would have to tell us.

"Mikey was actually referring to the MacGregor Park course,"

How did you get that information from that post Lung?

Give me a break on criticizing this great C-tier - what did you expect when you came over an A-tier?

Nice payout (100% + it appears), nice course, not too much waiting etc - be specific if you are going to be nasty. (Yes, the tee boxes need some work I'm talking about the rest of your post)

If you did not like the course, you could have asked someone about it before coming over. I would have described it to you as I am sure many others would.

From the Rating info on the site, my info is correct. I wonder if maybe they put the MA2 and MA3 in as separate layouts, which would confuse the issue for the computer, but then be straightened out by the Ratings Committee?

All in all, a good event. The course is pretty straightforward, a little short in places, but then I didn't birdie those holes. :o The only bad tee I noticed was #17. Righties run uphill and Lefties run downhill. Otherwise, I had and heard no other complaints.

And I'm still confused by the 9am start time issue. Guess Mikey wouldn't like the TX10 series either, as they all start between 9-9:30am. Is getting done early that bad?

"Mikey was actually referring to the MacGregor Park course,"

How did you get that information from that post Lung?




I got all confused, I thought he was bashing the tourny played at MacGregor a few weeks ago.

Hey, did that cold weather cloud your brain? Sure was fun to play in shorts and tank tops Saturday!

where do y'all get off saying i was bashing anything? i didn't have any problems with anything, especially the tee boxes, which i thought added an extra challenge. why not make the footing tricky enough to injure someone to compensate for the pitchin' and puttin'? i thought it was a great idea. and getting to watch the am master 1st place playoff go on for 6-7 holes while we waited on the ace-pot throwoff was a pleasant surprise! that was some riveting disc golf let me tell ya---i don't know how those guys handled the pressure. i just wish i had brought my video camera to film it for posterity.

Seems like all you guys from Louisiana are a classy bunch.

I enjoyed the tournament. #4, and #17 are the only tee boxes that are real bad. I think they're working to get some pads out there.

Too bad how do you think we feel when the Pros have long playoffs? I liked meeting Eric but I'm not sure about you. Also your comment about me beating eric was fun since I beat you by 6. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

OUCH!!! :eek: :o

Don't get me talking about you chris. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

you know what you can do SB!! :D

Just playin well I'm off to lunch. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

what is SB? Scooter Boy. :p

you should know you started it SB=Super Bagger :D

Dooooh ,super bagger ,

Shouldn't Matt be in School?

Yea, there's no way that could be construed as bashing.

If you've got these concerns, why didn't you calmly and politely air them at an appropriate time to the tournament director? Or if the TD is busy, fill out a tournament feedback form. Or at the least, write something down on a piece of paper that the TD can read later when he's got time.

No, just like a lot of other chicken [*****], you wanna come home and bash the tournament over the internet and air your dirty laundry.

How could you bash this event.

9 open players and 1st place got $300. Heck the poison ivey open had 19 open players and 1st place didn't even get $200.

Great tourney Wyatt, keep up the good work.

I guess some people are just sore losers.

:p

lung, are you saying this isn't an appropriate forum for me to give the TD a little ribbin? i'm sure wyatt can handle it---he seems to have a lot thicker skin than you. i'll be willing to bet that wyatt won't be discouraged by a little whining about the teeboxes and might just print out these posts and show them to the park people to encourage them to fix their boxes if they want people from out of town to play at their tournaments and spend their money at the local hotels and restaurants.

i laugh at your suggestion that i'm chicken *****. oh my god, this laundry is SOOOOOOOOO dirty. oh oh oh how do i get away with saying the truth all the time?

oh texas, please please please forgive me for ever saying the least thing that might be construed by your weak-minded citizens as bashing. i am so SORRY. :D

scooter, did you really expect me to have a chance against you? haven't you won more PDGA Majors than I have? i'm just glad i kept it close ;)

OH MY GOD! QUIT BASHING THE POISON IVY OPEN!!! HOW COULD YOU SAY THE TRUTH LIKE THAT!!!

James,

You have to ignore "underparmikey", this was probably the first time that he has played a course that wasnt located in the middle of a ghetto or a flood plain.

Mikey does come across as whining...but some of it is with merit (the rest of it really is just whining, though).

The tee boxes are not great...and numerous border on bad (#1 regular, #2, #4, #5, #11, and #17). But rumor has it that concrete tee pads are on the horizon for this new park that is still being broken in.

Despite not being 'great' tee-pads, they were all fair and playable.

It might not be the greatest course for some of you big-gunned, "I-have-every-throw-in-my-bag" Pros...but it is an extremely fun and challenging course for most Ams (you know, the majority of the folks who play this course...and disc golf in general).

I also think Mikey has a legitimate complaint about having to wait so long for the Ace pot CTP. After realizing that the CTP wasn't going to start anytime soon, I just donated my fee and hit the road since I had a nearly 3 hour drive home.

Otherwise, I thought this was a great second tournament for the Conroe course. With time, I think the popularity of this course will ensure filled tournaments on a regular basis.

wow Mike.......
great impression you are puTTing on.

We can blame the guy who did ace but wasn't in the pot for the delay. :)

Straight from Chuck Kennedy regarding the ratings for Int/Recs -
I can't guarantee it but it's more likely in 2005 since the number of propagators required will likely drop to 5 so we can get more ratings for lower divisions like Int and Rec. It's unclear whether all of those players currently shown in the online posting will renew in 2005 also. In January, they keep prior year members temporarily active online. So you can't tell whether everyone with a rating over 800 will be viable by the time the ratings are processed in late April.

well the only tee that (imo) was bad was #17 and that could be easily solved. one cry :(baby doesn't make a bad tourn. just a poor sport with to much free time :D
oh and just to let you know ATX that course is in a flood plan park it just rarely floods.

also had fun, played my rating, didn't cash.

props on the cool tee signs

Yup 1 in Jr's and your rating is 20 points higher than mine. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

For all you people that are traveling to Mikey’s Mardi Gras Madness B-tier event, be sure to write down every little thing you find wrong with the tournament. And then of course, come back and post about it on the internet. Don’t forget to include:

1) That the “small hills” advertised in the course directory are really just man-made mounds only a few feet tall
2) “Lots of trees” advertised in the course directory amount to about nineteen on the whole course
3) Ridiculously close proximity of OB to many baskets
4) Holes run close together so you throw into other people’s fairways
5) Ridiculously close proximity to the ghetto next to the course
6) Four tee pads on many holes, all poorly marked
7) Crappy condition of the poleholes
8) Crappy condition (no pun intended) of the public bathrooms
9) If the tournament starts on time or not
10) If pros are grouped with amateurs
11) If you have to walk a long way from tournament central to your starting hole
12) If you get stuck playing behind the slow amateur masters or women’s group
13) If spectators and other park users cause distractions.
14) If the player’s package sucks
15) If the “creole” buffet lunch sucks
16) If the round assignments are posted promptly
17) If the second round starts on time
18) If you have to wait more than 30 minutes after the tourny is over for the awards ceremony
19) If the payout, especially the amateur prizes, sucks
20) If the wind is too strong
21) If the sun is too hot
22) If the 2 live bands don’t play the kind of music you like
23) If you have to drive more than 3 hours to get home

And remember, even if very few other people feel the same way you do, and while it may mislead everyone into thinking that these are legitimate complaints/concerns, it is okay to post this information because it’s THE TRUTH!

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I wasnt saying anything negative about the Conroe course, I was talking about the courses in louisiana and the comment that underparmikey said. This was my 2nd tournament in Conroe and wont be my last, I was very happy with the course conditions,staff, and everyone that played on my card.

you all quit pickin on Mike...He can't be all that bad.

Conroe is a course that if you play smart you will do well and If you make mistakes you will be punished. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Unfortunantly I made more mistakes than I would've liked.

At least you didn't bogey a short hole...

Oh wait.... :o

Triple putt from 20ft OH YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!! :D:D

don't forget:

24) If the lack of Jeff LaGrassa's personal hygeine disrupts your concentration
25) If LaGrassa's girlfriend forgets to shave her back
26) If LaGrassa whines too much that he's a bad advanced player who never should have turned pro but should have his own division, Semi-Pro DORKS that he will be guaranteed to win every time so he can boost his fragile ego

<--------shaking head
LET IT GO!

:) :) rib rib nudge nudge :) :)

OH MY GOD! HOW COULD YOU SAY THE TRUTH LIKE THAT!!! oh oh oh how do u get away with saying the truth all the time?

It's on Biatches :D:D

NO IT IS NOT....SO SHUT IT....your donkey that is

I just wasted a few minutes on this duh-ness!

Heck, I just wish I hadn't returned his disc on Friday, you know, the pro who's unmarked disc he leaves behind?
If I'd realized his love of Texas, I'd have filled it with cow chips before handing it back! LOL! :D

Now, let me see, I was considering heading that way for some LA madness, but heck, I can get a dose of that right here without leaving home! :eek:

Wasn't there some other whiner from LA? wwworker? Maybe they are brothers!

wwwwwwanker - those were the days - and the BIG RED KILLA LOLOLOL

Thanks for all the laughs here this evening, warmed the cockles of my heart! Cause baby, it's COLD outside!

I have played with Mikey for several years and He was always nothing but the nicest guy.I dont know what you did to **** him off He really is a nice guy .Hey mike how far did you guys drive to support this event. Whats up ET.Play nice .Hey Lung How many events have you run?

Lung How many events have you run?



I've never been the main TD of a PDGA-sanctioned tournament, if that's what you are asking. But I've helped run weekly doubles, tag rounds, ice bowls, and countless PDGA B-Tier and C-Tier events.

How far back did you read, captklank? Did you see your buddy's comments? The whole point is: in all of my years of playing disc golf tournaments, if I have an issue about an event, I take it up with the TD at the tournament, or send him a private message afterwards. To come back and make sarcastic remarks about what one didn't like about the event publicly over the internet is totally assanine and uncalled for.

I dont Agree with The way it all went down .And I wasnt there so I should probably shut my mouth anyway .All I am saying is that I have known him for a long time and never seen anything but good things from him .Personally since everybody acts different when they leave an event .I would rather them say it later on the Board then what I had happen at an event I ran .One of the pros said some things to me and then got in his truck and peeled out of the parking lot in front of sponsors and a bunch of first time event players,Just my opionion But at the end of the event I dont want to here anything from anyone ,For sure not someone who is mad and has to drive a hell of a long way home .Just my thoughts ,Didnt mean to sound ugly Lung.

feel the love, feel the love. did you not read when i typed "this was the best tournament i've been to in a long long time". i don't know where i went wrong saying that. can't a brother from east texas get a break around here?

sue i did want to thank you for picking up my unmarked CE valkyrie, it's almost as pretty as you :Dand i'm not being sarcastic. i always mean everything i say. :cool:

and by the way, i really did have a good time, and it's been fun talking smack with all my new texan friends. it's fun to see everyone get excited about disc golf. i don't take it too seriously, but really, if someone breaks an ankle on a unlevel potholed teepad when there's pristine grass next to the box, would that make y'all consider taking out a can of spray paint and taking 60 minutes to paint some safer tees on that pristine grass? i know a pro who broke his leg teeing off on a broken concrete pad (doug williams-formerly of dallas TX) and if sassypanties-in-an-uproar lagrassa can't understand that, it's because he's never played the new 9 holes at in new orleans and as usual he doesn't have a flippin clue about what he is talking about, and our course in new orleans is way better than those crappy excuses for courses they have in pennsylvania where his yankee butt needs to stay! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif believe me if sassyLung-rassa was at the northside freeze he'd be whining louder than me. of course he'd be whining that there was no Pro 2 division where he could hide from the real pros. :p :p or maybe he'd say he had to work eh vinnie? :)

I'd say the comment from "the pirate" left me with an implication that there was something more, something implied between the lines. Arrrrrr, mate, Ms. Sue is sorry, but sometimes, no most all the time, folks get on here, and complain about this or that, and McDade is growing near and dear to local's hearts. Just defending the homeland, sir! ;)

As for running events, I'd have to agree, that until you've walked in those shoes, you can't begin to imagine the situations you'll encounter. My hat is off to all those who allow themselves to be the punching bag a TD must sometimes feel like when it's all said and done. A thankless job at best!

I thought the tourney was awesome thanks Matt good shootin to you aswell. There was some moments were u had me scared to. Nice 1021 second round JD

what ever Mikey......Let see how many times La. comes over to Texas.

I know a guy who came to Texas from Louisiana for some disc golf and never left.

vinnie: the current pro Texas State Champion is from LOUISIANA.

D'OH! :p

oh I know and ..........

How many golfers you got in the state?.....2 :D

Our minis are bigger than event you all can plan all year for :o
my grandmother words just popped into my head
" Don't waist words on subjects and people that don't amount to nothing" "God only gives you some many words then you die"
Have a great day Mike

Well I quess it is about time i said something.
First off I want to thank everyone for coming out. Second, I understand about the teeboxes, we have been trying to get conroe to put in concrete for a few months. They want us to come up with half the cost. And we will in due time. But you have to keep in mind this course has not even been in the ground a year. We will continue to work with conroe to keep improving the course.
And again, thanks everyone for your continued support.

The TD's post sums it up best. They are well aware of tee pad issues and are looking into it. The course hasn't even been in the ground one year, so cut them a little slack. And don't even try to pull that broken leg crap, I was in Houston for business from January 3-9 and played the course, so I do know what I am talking about. I'm like a safety nazi when it comes to courses and I didn't have a problem with them. And next time you have an issue, talk to the TD and keep it off the message board. You made a lot of enemies in Houston this week, Mikey.

And the current Louisiana state champion is from Texas.

:D

Correction, last years.

I think the word he was looking for was "raining"

(sic) "reigning"

ok Lung, you're right. i went back and checked the messages in this thread and the only complaints were about holes 1,2,4,5,11,15 and 17. add that to a pro that i saw on 18 laying down his towel so he wouldn't slip, and me filling in holes on 7 &amp; 10, and you're so right. i guess the PDGA standard is that only 20% of the teeboxes need to be playable. what the heck was i thinking? why in the world would a TD waste a whole 60 minutes making some good tees?

you see Lung, when you get to be a real pro, you'll want to plant on level tees, but coming from your semi-pro should-go-back-to-advanced self, it just doesn't help your suggestion that the teeboxes were okay. did they put me on the PDGA Course Design Committee because I'm so warm and friendly? Not likely-I probably know a wee bit about proper tee boxes, and them holes in the ground ain't cutting it.

hey vinnie, the reason you have so many pros at your minis is because they all go broke when they try to step up to the SuperTours! :D :D :D :D oh there i go again making more enemies...are they just waiting for me at the border? will they chain me to a truck like my brother in jasper and drag me around town? :D

stir stir stir. nothing i like better than texans who don't have a sense of humor :D

I've got a great sense of humor, Mikey. But using the brutal, racially-motivated hate crime that happened in Jasper as an analogy (replete with Smiley Face), is NOT funny.

I didn't meet you on the course this weekend, although I was on the same card as Sue when you came running back to get your unmarked Valk. But, you looked like your average run-of-the-mill white guy to me. So I'm further perplexed by your likening of yourself as a 'brother' to James Byrd Jr. You're neither related contextually nor racially. Perhaps it's via marriage?

Seriously, Mikey, after that last comment--I hope you do keep your sorry-self east of the Sabine. You won't be missed.

Ouch!

Hey Rooster ,How about Humanly.

rooster, as John Lennon once sang, "You better recognize your brother, is everyone you meet!"

instant karma gonna get me, gonna knock me right in the face, just like rooster would whack me if i was at his place. :Dsorry not all my jokes are winners. we can't all be as funny as texans. and i thought the PDGA BOD was uptight. :D

rooster, as John Lennon once sang, "You better recognize your brother, is everyone you meet!"



So, using that logic, it's safe to conclude conversely that you are the 'brother' of John William King, Shawn Berry, and Lawrence Brewer Jr. (the three men who murdered him and drug him behind a truck).

Regardless of the semantics you subscribe to, your analogy was in ill taste. You were able to find humor in James Byrd's death; I can't.

rooster, i apologize. i don't really think it's funny what happened in jasper. y'all finally got the best of me and made me say something nasty.

i'd like to say i'm sorry for that bad joke by sending wyatt a check for $50 to put into the conroe concrete teepad fund. would y'all appreciate that or is that inappropriate? i really didn't want to get carried away, but i did. even mikey loses a battle on the internet once in a while.

so seinfeld can make all the soup nazi jokes he wants, but no one wants to take me up on my $50. funny place this place called conroe.

in honor of your teepads i took a shovel out to my home course last night and dug some holes in our boxes so we can have as good teeboxes as they have in texas. imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... :D

hey mikey I think you need to put down the shovel and step away the holes deep enough already :p

The thread lives!!!!!!!!!!! Well kinda. :confused: :confused:

True dat! Who is this guy? Remember Mikey, sarcasm is hard to pick up when written.

I agree with the boxes but not the way he expressed his feelings about them. By the way boxes don't affect you much when you weigh 140lbs. :D:D

Geezus, man! After all that had transpired, including that horribly inappropriate/racist joke, and even despite all the personal attacks against me, you had almost redeemed yourself. You offerred to send $50 for the teepad fund, which was quite the noble gesture. The e-mail address for Wyatt, the tournament director, was listed in the first post of this thread for you to contact him. This thread was dead, and all could have been forgotten. But no; instead, you chose to make another dumb joke about Conroe's tee pads and mock the course yet again!

I just don't know what is wrong with you.

And of course, since Mikey is incapable of any rational discussion, a string of insults against me will now surely follow. All par for the course with him.

I just don't know what is wrong with you.



you just don't get the heterosexual lifestyle, do you Lung? :eek:

Rocky Balboa climbs off the canvas and lands the haymaker!

look, i ain't racist. don't even try to pin that label on me. be a man and accept the fact that i'm not perfect and i apologized.
if conroe doesn't think my $50 is good in their town, i'll understand. i'll give it to Lagrassa so he can go buy some more XXL panties and get them all in a wad.

oh, another jab to the Lung's double-chin! he can't take much more punishment! :D

Any help would be appreciated, just email me and let me know what you want to do.

just dropped the money order in the mail.

peace.

Just for a change, nice tournament, well run, great challenging course, especially given the limited area available. Thanks!

BTW - I noticed this little trick, if the front of the T-box is a little rutted, if you step back about 2-3 feet the ruts are gone. :) My dad would have called this common sense and often wondered why some people didn't have it.

Given the difficulty of getting and maintaining a course within the greater Houston area, I wonder if anyone noticed the immaculate greens, beautiful baskets and elegant markers at this course? Obviously the North Side Team is doing a lot to contribute to local disc golf. Thanks!

So Lyle, will your star rating go up after a good post like that or continue spiraling downward with each political commentary you write

Nothing like keeping a thread that should die up at the top of the board :D
