no doubt, me too!!

We currently are not up on TitleDisc since Ben is out of Country. He should be back in a couple weeks and we'll be up then. So please hold your comments for now.

Thanks,
Ray

is see that it is benefitting edge this year, that is great!! It looks like jay and des are getting a lot of support here in cen-tex. this is such a great cause!!

Getting the youth of today and the future into our sport can only benefit us in the long run. :cool:

exactly, they are the building blocks this sport needs!!

Ray...there is a good chance Pease will be an 18 hole course for COTO...#1 will play to #2's baskets(all three pin placements...and #8(new tee box) will play to the baskets for #10...this will improve the flow and rounds will play faster...7 new sleaves going in also(some are old pin placements,some are new...


News about the course from the Waterloo Crew that's puts so much time into the courses around Austin.

They are the best :cool:
FYI Ya'll

wow this really puts a twist in things.sounds really interesting!!

and #8(new tee box) will play to the baskets for #10...this will improve the flow and rounds will play faster...



What, getting rid of the righty-hyzer-birdie holes? :o

We played this layout for the Christmas mini, and from what I heard, everybody loved the new layout.

Pease needed a couple of longer, non pitch-and-putt holes. And this serves that purpose very well.

what happens to #9 if 8 plays to 10?

8, 9, and 10 would be gone.

#8 would be the new 8 to 10.
#9 would be old #11
#10 would be old #12

No more RH birdie alley... :p

this actually makes for a better course and less back tracking from pin to box. the credit is due to mike suda and dave moody (waterloo guys) for finding better safer holes. the waterloo club will be doing some work projects this spring to improve the course. we will need your help. big thanks to mike for all the work he does there year round . let's try to get out and give him some support.

absolutely!! kudos to mike and everyone else for there support!!

Go earn some karma... It helped my partners game.

that's right. jake is having me fitted for a saddle. see you omb's at tex state doubles. in it to win it this year .

It's been a couple of years since I've played COTO, I'll be there this year :cool:

Marcus Roberts are you coming down to COTO this year?

Good to hear you aren't running out to CA this year and will stay home for COTO. :cool:

Yea Marcus needs to come on down for this one :)

I was looking at #8 to 10's basket today , **** what do you do? is there a mando? losing hole #9 would be a bummer!!

new tee box for #8...old final 9 hole that Moody came up with for Coto...the big boys had some shots :o

oh!! much better!!

I'll be there, do I have a place to stay? I"ll bring my poker table amd chips :DHey Chile are you going to World Doubles this year? Can't wait to play some rounds with you freaks again !!! Hope to see you guys soon!

Will you be bringing that bagger Sherri. No Rec for her this year :D

Not after she beat the Adv Women's scores last year :o

Yes, I'll be bringing my bag... :DI mean my bagger protegee. She will step up and play intermediate this year until she gets her rating above 800 :cool:

cant wait to take some of your money at cards...


been a while since we played and you took my money ya bastage

oh how things have changed

Cool Marcus, if you and Sheri need a place to stay I have a spare bedroom you all can use.Maybe if you get here by friday maybe we can play doubles together?

Wow.

Had our first inquiry from SC this evening. News travels far :D

Hope Eric Jones can make the trip.

kewl, what div. is a playing?

MA1 :cool:

Rumor has it there may be a 2005 USDGC Roc from the first 1000 at this event. :D:cool:

If I throw this roc across the creek and it comes to rest on the other side, is the roc OB? :p

Not on new #3, #11 and #15 :D

If my numbers are correct. I'll have the OB line marked as well as possible this time :D

old #3 will be new #2...and very well marked :p

The ones I mentioned are the holes where you are suppose to throw over the creek to get to the hole :) I hope those are the ones :D

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... :o

The ones I mentioned are the holes where you are suppose to throw over the creek to get to the hole :) I hope those are the ones :D



Suggestion for new #2. A tall mesh fence against the creek. Force everyone to throw the tunnel. :)

- Anonymous Lefty. :)

Tony,

A mesh fence against the creek would just help righties since they wouldn't worry about going OB in the creek :o

Are the holes set up for 18? By that I mean are they marked, or do you just need to know that you tee from #1's box to #2's basket.

thinking (as always) about playing, this one falls on a weekend that I only have to use one vacation day for.

Browder,

I'll let the men that are actually doing the work talk about that issue :D

I'm just staff :cool:

TD is staff right

the course is still 21 holes...we are going to have 2 work days close to the event to re-set the course...the new layout will be marked and re-numberded...also 7 new pin positions going in as well as the new tee box for 8-9-10 or new 7... :D

awesome!!

Register now on TitleDisc.com (http://www.titledisc.com/) :cool:

hi

howdy :cool:

Well it looks like we are just 7 weeks out from the 15th annual COTO. We are busy trying to get a hotel deal for the out of towners. We are also working on getting more sponsorship than last year and trying to round up raffle prizes. It'll be a busy seven weeks, but you should enjoy the tournament more than last year :cool:

Sign ups can be done online with Title Disc (http://www.titledisc.com) or mailing the entry form into Gordon.

See ya'll soon,
Ray

How has the new layout been workin?

I'm going to make this one, what time is doubles on friday?

JU GOTTA PARTNER YET?? :DI also need to reserve my room for that weekend.....pulease.....partner?

Jake,

Dave Moody and Mike Suida should be close to completing the redesign. They told me that they would have it complete before one month out and have the creek OBs marked so the course could be played at the minis as it will be during the tourney :cool:

Thanks Dave and Mike. You guys ROCK :cool:

can't wait for the new layout!! should be fun!!

Yeah, that course needed a couple more tough pars... ;)

Today is the last 4:30pm Tuesday mini at Pease. Next week we go to 5:30pm. Make sure to get out to some of these mins to get your practice for COTO. COTO is only 7 weeks away!

Your set Marcus, as for doubles we are in. David Vaughan might be staying at the house also, I got the room, is Sheri playing?

Dave,

Will you guys mark the Special condition drop zone for the hill hole next to the creek? I think it'll be #9.

The one where if they go over the cliff on their drive it's an OB drop zone just before the ditch.

Ray :cool:

So tuesday at 5:30 is that the new layout? the one for COTO?

I'd like to put the logo here, but I don't know how. Can someone give me some directions?

Thanks :)

Thanks Lou! :D

The color logo with the star is the main tournament logo and was designed by Porter Yax.

The black&white logo with the jester thingy is the secondary logo and was designed by Scott Carter.


Thanks for the great art guys!!!

The black and white one sssuuucckkksss real bad, the other logo has more CLASS!

Chile, the star logo is the main one for the tournament. The shirts and most of the discs will have this on them.

The jester is a second logo to give people a choice if they want a different stamp on their discs or minis. I'll try to get a black soft magnet with this logo to see if you'll buy it anyway. :D

That's Lou for ya :D

Always lookin' out for his friends :eek:

A black magnet with the Texas Star logo would ROCK!! Thanks Lou.

Lou, you definately need to add the outline of Texas onto the logo. That way Olse will buy one. He is fascinated by the outline of Texas. I think it must be one of those mystical shapes that resonates powerful energies. :p

http://www.sreb.org/images/states/texas.gif

Do you think Mike is hypnotized now? :)

A black magnet with the Texas Star logo would ROCK!! Thanks Lou.



I thought he was talking about the Jester stamp for the Magnet :eek: :o

My bad :D

I guess your not as devious as I thought there for a moment Lou :cool:

I played the new 18 hole layout this weekend and it rocks. The only difference will be that Hole #1 and Hole #7 will not be as long as they were then.

I could have had a 4 on #7 even with my drive that whacked the top of the clowns mouth and rolled behind the tree, a lousy attempt at a forehand shot from there and a nice pull to the left of where the basket will be, short #9 right now. :cool:

Mike and Dave, those are excellent replacements!!!

So COTO is a 18 hole layout not 21? I got to play this layout.

The jester is a second logo to give people a choice if they want a different stamp on their discs or minis. I'll try to get a black soft magnet with this logo to see if you'll buy it anyway. :D



I'm pretty sure you both caught my intent. Jerry just tried to change it. :)

No thats the one I would like. Lou so COTO is 18 holes?

COTO will be 18 holes. It'll be the same layout that Dave used at his player appreciation day mini in December.

1's tee plays to 2's basket and a new tee on 7 playing to 10's basket. You'll see the flags up for the new 7 tee if you play the course.

Thanks LOU!

lou , do you know if the mini will be played using that layout???

Y'all should consider toughening up some of those holes, at least for the open divisions, or at least for some rounds. Really, think about Circle C and how people are raving about it (at least people I have talked to). I mean, Pease will never be like that, but spicing up some of the holes on a temporary basis might add some flavor.

I don't think so. Waterloo has workdays scheduled for the first 2 weekends in May to complete the project.

Dave or Suda might start on it earlier but it was still a 21 hole course last Friday.

James, what are you envisioning? Yellow rope?

Yes, and/or possible mandos. I'm not saying it needs to be used for all divisions, but 1-2 and 7-10 seem to be to be semi-easy threes, but impossible 2s for the open division. I could be wrong, and would like to see data from the minis.

You might want to consult with Olse as he has good ideas. My thoughts on the position of the mandos/ropes depends on the pin position. For example if 10 is near the creek, an island of OB on the left and behind would make that hole pretty interesting. I am not thinking about a real tight fairway, but OB placed in an area that punishes poor left dying upshots and makes people gravitate more towards the creek. Also, a little OB deep (I'm talking 25 feet, not 10) would add a cool dimension.

These is just thinking off the top of my head, but for one round at least, a little OB sure could spice up those holes.

This is a great Tourney and i will be there for sure

Not sure if it will happen, but I agree James. I have some yellow rope and I'm wanting to try it out. I like the idea of OB sandtraps/circles of yellow rope deep or to the sides of some holes. Maybe in the fairways of longer shots like #19. Fun, fun, fun... We will have the 18 hole layout ready in the next week or so if not sooner. Mitch, come by the trailer Thursday and Iet's talk about our Pease committee stuff. I scheduled the walk through with the Parks crew leader and dirt drop off.

I was wondering what kind of rec. division turnout there is yet. I am trying to get a couple of girls (sister and daughter ) and possibly one guy, all three first timers...
Maybe some of those Temple gals will make it down.... :eek:

will this be shotgun start or tee-times??

Last year there were 12 Rec men and 3 Rec ladies.

You should definitley get them all signed up this year.

Cool, I'll start working on them now.... :cool:

My understanding is that it will be tee times.

Efrain,

Tee times so that more people can play this event. :cool:
Starting @ 7:45 and every 8 minutes after that until all groups are done.

Ray

I disagree...tee times don't mean more get to play.
It means people finishing in the dark and having no time for lunch.
Sit down and do the math verses the times.

there is the daylight savings thing to consider by may it will prob. be light till 8 to 9pm, but then how to do the shuffles and awards and get people on the road to make it home early enough to get some sleep for work on mon.

I'll be there either way, like this tourn. and course.

that and this will be first chance to play since recovering from surgery can't wait se y'all there :D

ok V...TEE TIMES=132 players last year...shotgun=90 players...42 more players...now let us see your math...and I had over 2 hours for lunch last year...and where were you :o

STILL HOPING TO GET TO PLAY THIS ONE........

HAD A BLAST LAST YEAR, AND THE TEE TIMES WERE AWESOME......

LUNCH WASNT AN ISSUE FOR US EITHER......

:confused:

132 divided by 4 (1 card)=33 cards going off every 8 min =264 min or 4.4 hours for one flight to complete.
30 min to figure shuffle.
(without lunch) = 9.3 hours of play
So if you start everyone at 7:00 AM! all play will be over at 4:20 (weird how that worked out)
add a hour for lunch and we are done at 5:20.
NOT BAD IF YOU WANT TO START AT 7:00AM.
So let add 2 hours to start time (9:00am) so the end of flights at 7:20. You maybe right. start at 9:00am and finish right at dark( if nothing happens) or you get "finishing in the dark"
this is all based on 4 somes....becomes even a longer day if you have cards of 3
Then you have to worry about everyone know their tee time.
I guess I might be wrong to have a start time and KNOW exactly when the day will be over. But I am sure all will be good.....I am just glad I will not be the person the complaints will have to go through. :D

No, the 30 minute shuffle occurs during that 4.4 hours. Things I like about the tee times is that it tends to flow better, and everyone starts on hole one. Also, although you must get up early one day, the other day, you get to sleep in really late.

The difficult thing about tee times is getting the info out to everyone about their next morning start.

The shuffling occurs while cards from other divisions are on the course. It amounts to lighter, yet constant work by the TD staff, instead of a concentrated timeframe (halftime/lunch) to get the next round scores/cards sorted out. It ends up looking like the rounds run together because as soon as the last card of round 1 goes off, the first card of round 2 is right behind them and they've already had an hour or so for lunch.

The last two years, the tee times ran smoothly. And last year was much smoother than 2003.

The biggest issue is the communication of round 1 tee times...Hope the computer this year doesn't quit Friday. :)


Late again...need to hit submit before walking away....

Tee time, thats fine with me. That means no rush for anything :cool:132 players thats even better.

the more the merrier!!

Marcus, poker friday night, is HOTO!! gonna make it?

TEE TIMES SUX!! You do not get to spend anytime with other golfers/friends you have unless they are on your card. Just my 2 cents

cry bout something will ya!!!!! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

bring on the tee-times!!!

It's a good thing that you only have 2 cents :D:Dwe can still BBQ, and hang out and party, just play good :o:D

Definitely Poker on Fri or Sat or both :D This is gonna be a blast as usual!!

I'm all in!

I'm all in!



call!!!!

Straight flush

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

Only 1 month away now from this excellent tournament! Sign up soon so you don't miss out. You can either mail in your flyer with entry fee or you can register on www.titledisc.com (http://www.titledisc.com)

Vinnie

I know what you mean about not being the one the complaints go through. But this time it is me. Good or bad, I hear them all. :D

So you going to be playing this one :cool:

I just got word that the course is in it's 18 hole configuration. Many thanks to Mike and Dave. :cool:They will also be working on getting the OB marked within the next week or so. Again, Thanks Dave, Mike and Mitch. :cool:

There will be a couple of work days coming up in the next month, with the City bringing out dirt and crushed granite.
We will need help in getting that moved around the course.
Stay tuned for more info as it comes.

Ray

I will be there and please keep the granite away from the course

i believe they are using some dirt granite mix this time!!

Vinnie,

What's a couple rocks in the course matter. They'll be in the tee areas JUST FOR YOU :D

DARN IT
I can't post my birdy finger picture :D

I'm sure you'll bring it :o:eek: :D

The Innova Fundraiser Discs are here! :D

We have Candy Starfires with the hotstamp logo for $25 (in assorted colors/weights).

We also have the Inn Color Glow Orcs for $30. These look very SWEET!!! The picture is below, but it doesn't really do the disc justice. The area around the star is a dark blue, the blue sky is more pronounced, and the star is more shades of yellow/brown/black. It is pretty. :D

We will have these available at the Thursday Circle C minis and our board members will also have some for sale with them soon. If you see them out on the course, ask them about it: Dan Mueller, Mitch & Patty Justice, Rob Hecht, Roger Allen, Sheldon Parker, Lou Moreno, Mike Olse, Mark McCrimmon.

New from Innova this year is a special appreciation, the Sponsor Reward Program. For every fundraiser disc you buy, you get a certificate that you can send in to them. They draw some of these monthly for some great prizes. Some examples of rewards they will be giving away include: Skill Shot� and DISCatcher� targets, merchandise and even a Sponsor�s Exemption to compete in the 2005 United States Disc Golf Championships.

Also, to show our appreciation for your support, we will put your name on a tee sign during the tournament PLUS we will have a raffle of our own just for the folks who buy these fundraiser discs.

Thanks in advance for all your support!

http://www.innovadiscs.com/cfr/2005/coto2.jpg

When Can I get some ?

Will Ray have any up here ?

I doubt Ray will have any (at least not until he gets down here for the tournament :D), but I'm sure we could mail you some.

beautiful design, I am already trying to talk my dad into buying me at least one.... Kudos to the designer. :D

really nice stamp!! who designed it!??

The color logo with the star is the main tournament logo and was designed by Porter Yax.

:p


Thanks for the great art guys!!!

[/QUOTE]

Those stamps are sweet, i'm looking forward to this tourney it gets better every year!

The fundraiser discs are a big hit so far! 10 of the Glow Orcs are already gone and 6 of the Starfires too (out of only 25 of each kind). Don't wait too long to buy/reserve yours. You can contact me about it at [email protected] or PM me. You can also go out to the Circle C weekly mini on Thursdays, Mitch has some with him. He can also often be found hanging out at Pease.

For those folks up north, Ray will have some for sale hopefully by early next week (he lives in Plano).

Hey Ray, I want starfires.

He'll have them. Any weight and/or color you particularly want? I can still adjust what I send him.

Maxish weights.

Will do, 174 & 175 will be in the package.

Your Glow Orcs are both 175.

Thanks!!! :D

Will this be pre-packaged payout for ams again? Will there be plenty of Innova plastic available??

I heard it was trophies only for all am divisions:).

I heard it was trophies only for all am divisions:).

:DI doubt that!! Entry is too high for trophy only!! :D

:D

The :) says it all. Here, :). Anyway, good luck to ya. Focus on the play and the pay will come, whatever it is.

Will there be cash skins for Amateurs at this tournament? Due to the precedent being set in Asheville, NC next weekend, Amateurs are now allowed to play for lucrative cash skins at PDGA tournaments.

No on the amatuer cash skins (heck, we don't even have pro cash skins :eek: ), but thanks for the heads-up.

Yes on the pre-packaged payout - awards will be up at Bongo's BBQ again.

Yes on the plenty of Innova plastic. In addition to all of our discs from previous tournaments and some stock-stamped discs, we will have custom stamped:

CE Sidewinder
CE Orc
CE Valkyrie
Pro Starfire
Roc
Aviar

Plus...
Omega Supersoft
Elite Z CryZtal Buzz
Elite Z Buzz
Elite Z CryZtal Challenger
Elite Z Crush
Elite Z Flash
Elite Z Flick
Elite X Wasp

That's the most ridiculous they I ever heard ams want cash for skins GO FREAKIN PRO!! :mad:

Gordon I'll take a pro starfire weight 170- 172. Thanks

gimp does it at pleasure island i think!!

you think WRONG!! ams get prizes no CASH!! I was there!!!

Gordon meant the custom stamped Innovas are Champion Sidewinders, Orcs and Valks :D

Looking forward to a large Grandmaster turnout for this one! Signed up, free housing lined up, now if the price of gas will just drop :mad:

Your Dork I want a pro starfire ( who cares what stamp) 170-172(blue) what part of that did you not understand shtttt.

All ams get merch. from gimp run events
we do offer pick your own plastic or merch. for tourn.
:DNO CASH FOR AMS :D

Blind Bat.:D You definitely are a Master. :o

Where did I talk about pro or CFR starfires :confused:

See ya Chile :cool:

And you'll always be an am. :o:D

Jerry, we'll put aside a pro starfire for you.

What Ray was referring to was where I listed the custom stamped discs we will have. I was apparently using old terminology by saying "CE" this and "CE" that. Instead I should have used "Champion".

DOH!!! :o

3 more Inn Color Orcs are now gone.

Goin' like hotcakes :D

And you'll always be an am. :o:D



El Chile,

If that was smack , you should hang around the Dallas boys more and get some pointers :D

All ams get merch. from gimp run events
we do offer pick your own plastic or merch. for tourn.
:DNO CASH FOR AMS :D



my bad!! i was just thinking of the skins deal you guys do!! thats a bunch of merch!! :D

Gordon, I will stop by your office sometime next week, so I can pay my entry fee for COTO, and if you have that Starfire that would be great. Thanks. :cool:

Gordon I also need to renew my membership, whats the deal on a 3 year renewal?

I'll be here monday-thursday next week Jerry, so call me and we'll work out a time. I'm out of town for a while after that.

The Pro Starfires probably won't be in until shortly before the tournament, but I'll set one aside for you in the weight you wanted.

A 3-year renewal is $40 (save $5), a 5-year is $65 (save $10), 10 years is $125 (save $25) or go all out for a lifetime membership renewal of $300 - save a bunch and never have to worry about it again (you would be our 4th lifetime person if you do).

Thanks! :)

Thanks Gordon, I will call ya when I'm heading your way.

OK, this is the next event on the Radar, still hoping to be able to play this one again this year, even though Pease eats my arse usually.......

Waterloo Disc Golf Club

Pease Park Disc Golf Course

Please bring shovels, rakes, wheelbarrows, weed-eaters, and mallets (for driving large nails into the ground).

We will also need a lot of yellow rope to mark OB areas around the creek. If you have any you can donate, we would greatly appreciate it. Just bring it with you or drop it off at Moody�s Trailer prior to the work days.

Austin�s Pizza and Mustache Pete�s will be providing free pizza for the volunteers both days. We have a lot of work to do to get the course ready for COTO in mid-May, so please come down and help out.

We will have a 1-round mini following the workday on May 8th.

We now have 43 or 44 entered so far. I'll get the latest group up this evening when I get home to the spreadsheet and can send out confirmations.

TitleDisc.Com (http://www.titledisc.com) will be up until Thursday evening May 12 unless we fill before then, of course. :D

This is going to be a great layout for this course and I'm sure the City will appreciate the changes that help reduce erosion :cool:

Ray

welcome to austin...

http://www.austinexperience.com/scenes/leslie/leslie1.jpg

Easy Martin, the idea is to welcome people to Austin, not scare them away. Do you think people would believe this was a mayoral candidate in the last election(the truth is scary)?

...You don't need to be present to win, but I think there was a matter of a stipend required to be considered as eligible. This would be used to cover the winners entry fee (hopefully).

You have to finish among the top 5 Texan scores in a B-Tier or above this year prior to and including LOSO. The winners will be drawn there. Everytime you qualify it gets you another ticket in the hat. I'll start publishing a list of qualified players soon.

"Taken from the LOSO Thread"



Since this is a B-tier event, COTO qualifies :D

Get your chance to get a USDGC spot by playing COTO :cool:

Count me in I will be their, just got through signing up. I will try and talk some more Temple Baggers into coming, but it will be hard since not one of em works, except me. :D

Martin :eek:

I didn't know you liked Leslie so much you have a pic handy :o

Just goes to show you never can tell about people :D:o:eek: :cool:

Looks like there are only 4 more chances to earn your chance to get a USDGC spot. Waco NT, COTO , Big Arms on the Brazos and LOSO.

Maybe our State Coordinator can tell us what more they need to do for that qualification, Gary?

Ray...check your e-mail...I just sent you 10 more entries

As I remember:

1. Be from Texas.
2. Finish with one of the top 5 texas scores (and be in the top 10 scores overall) at a B-Tier or above in Texas.
3. Send in $20 before LOSO (or at LOSO if you qualify there) Paypal to [email protected] with usdgc in the title will do.
4. Watch to see who is pulled from the hat (box, bucket whatever they use there).

The winner will get the $20 entries to pay their entry fee and if any is left, offset expenses.

I will be compiling a list this week. If you think you have finished in the top 5 of a B-tier or above that does not have the scores listed, Please make sure the TD gets the scores to me.

There is one exception. The TWC was a B-Tier, but the women chose to play for a trip to the USWDGC in Peoria instead of a shot at the USDGC.

What time is the players meeting Saturday :confused:

Updated players list? :eek:

Updated players list? :eek:



I'm just now getting the entries from titledisc and the club :cool:

I'll update the entry list this evening when I get home from work, and Yes Larry Thompson has entered in Mens Masters. :D

What time is the players meeting Saturday :confused:



David,

Your players meeting will be 10 minutes before your tee time. That will be your chance to ask questions about the rules and course information.

Tee times will be assigned Friday :cool:

Any idea what time Friday start times will be up? Hope I don't have to get up to early to drive in :)

Players list?

Go to PDGA Tour for current list :D

TEXAS

Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for six
days.

Eventually, Michael the Archangel found him, resting on the seventh day.

He inquired of God. "Where have you been?"

God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards
through the clouds, "Look, Michael. Look what I've made."

Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?"

"It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put Life on it. I'm going to
call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance."

"Balance?" Inquired Michael, still confused.

God explained, pointing to different parts of earth. "For example,
northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth butcold
and harsh while southern Europe is going to be poor but sunny and
pleasant. "I have made some lands abundant in water and other lands
parched deserts. This one will be extremely hot and while this one will
be very cold and covered in ice."

The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land mass
and said "What's that one?"

"Ah," said God. "That's TEXAS -- the most glorious place on earth.

There are beautiful beaches, streams, hills, and forests. The people from
TEXAS are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent and humorous and
they are going to be found traveling the world. They will be extremely
sociable, hardworking and high achieving, and they will be knownthroughout
the world as diplomats and carriers of peace."

Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What
about balance, God? You said there would be balance!"

God replied wisely, "Wait until you see the idiots I put in AUSTIN."

================================================== ===

A TEXAS BLESSING
:D

Thanks.

Ray, just pm'd you... :cool:

Any idea what time Friday start times will be up? Hope I don't have to get up to early to drive in :)


Friday will start around 1pm. The start times will be finalized after doubles, basically when we finish taking entries. We will post the tee times @ Pease and on the tourney page.

We will start Saturday morning with the Open Men then Women, then Masters, Advanced Men, Advanced Masters, Advanced GrandMasters, Inetrmediate Men, Women, Rec Men and finally the Jrs.. Groups of 4 cards with 3-4 players per card sent out in 8 minute intervals.

Hope this helps Harry,
Ray

Thanks Ray, it does help a bit. Maybe I won't have to leave Katy before sunrise :cool:

very cool this is a USDGC qualifier.

dont forget the tuesday mini at pease.

Not a USDGC qualifier, just a qualifier for the TX State Rep spot.

Thanks for clarifying that Gary :D

Looks like the stars have aligned properly.....

I GET TO PLAY COTO!!!!

Should I Titledisc IMMEDIATELY, or can I wait till tonight?

You should still be able to get in tonight.

Ray

Thanks Ray......

Have Gordo PM Me, and I can probably swing by Dave's to pick up what we had previously discussed. Or he can call me on my Cell......

Mark wants to play but we cant titledisc it, any way he can still play?

Ray...5 more coming tonight...let me know if ya get em

Got them Mitch. We are now up to 86. :cool:

We even had a couple folks move up today. Congrats to Jim and David for getting out of Rec :D, Kick those intermediate baggers behinds :eek:

Drive up to Austin/Pease tonight, I think they have a Tuesday Mini......or get a check in the mail RIGHT NOW. Pretty sure you can reg at Moody's trailer any day this week, before they fill......

You must be listening to those goobers that said there was a slight chance of rain for Sunday in Austin :eek: :D:o:) :cool:

oh my ...I hear rain for the weekend.



i hear scattered betting with a slight chance of bankruptcy in vinnie's future. ;)

LOL

I,m in!! where is the game? :D

shhhhh!

I,m in!! where is the game? :D



Pease Park. Check the website for tee times. :D

Gary:
Can you wait and see if you make the top 5 at COTO and then pay your $20 for your chance to be picked for TX State Rep for USDGC?

It's not 2 late is it..?????

I,m in!! where is the game? :D



Pease Park. Check the website for tee times. :D



kewl thanx for the quick response senor!! which reminds me i need to sign up today!

The mini is at 5:30 today correct? Just trying to confirm before Mark makes the trip.

yes it is!!

Got them Mitch. We are now up to 86. :cool:

We even had a couple folks move up today. Congrats to Jim and David for getting out of Rec :D, Kick those intermediate baggers behinds :eek:



I am curious what is the limit number of players? since we got 86 players?

i believe i remember 132!! or close to that!!

You're right, E. There were 132 players last year.

I can squeeze a few more in than 132, but no more than 136 for this year anyway :D

Chris, as long as the money is received by me before LOSO, or given to the TD at LOSO before the awards.

(thanks Brian, I guess I should formally ask before volunteering your services).

Gary was 2004 states a qualifier? If so, how do those people get their names in the hat?

James,

I'm not Gary but you can check TX State Qualifiers for TX Representative to USDGC (http://www.lsdga.com/news/index.php) :cool:

James, that's a good question.

I'll have to gather some stats for B-Tiers and above from after last August.

Quite a few good events are being left out.

Thanks for the link. So now, my question is this: "Can people that have not sent Gary $20 for those old tournaments still pay for those times they qualified in the past and get credit/tickets for them?"

Your tickets aren't good until you pay. And you have until they draw at LOSO to make your tickets good. $20 will get as many tickets as you have good for the drawing. That's from the link and other info on the board :D

He is correct. You get as many tickets as the number of times you qualified for $20. You don't get any tickets until you pay the one time fee of $20.

Did anyone play the Pease mini with the tournament OB layout yesterday? Anyone have feedback?

what would you like to know LOU?

Were there any problems with the OB lines? Is there anything that you think needs to be addressed before the tournament? That kind of stuff. :cool:

Efrain,

Gary brought a box by for me to deliver to you, but it somehow disappeared :D:D:D:D:D:D:o:eek:

Just curious, where were the OB lines?

James I am sure you will find them :D

You mean they're putting them in the middle of the fairway!!! :p

Were there any flags to the edge of the fairways by the creek?

The only O.B I noticed that i got feedback for is the one along the creek on #2. The Water is plenty sufficient as an O.B line. There doesn't need to be a string,rope, or anything there; the water line marks it pretty well. According to where it was positioned you lose a good 6ft of much needed ground on an already narrow fairway. Dump the string on #2 along the water. My 2 cents.
