We are working with Conroe to have cement tee pads before the tournament. For anyone who has not been out to the course lately, Conroe has built some nice bridges going across the creeks on 3 to 4, 4 to 5 and 14 to 15. The course is really looking good. It helps that the parks guys are playing the course.

AWESOME WYATT!!!!!!

Keep up the good work, and for any of you who have not played this course, it ROCKS!!!!

I would put this on your schedule!!!!

So, will this tournament replace the Northside Open? Either way would be cool, 3 sanctioned tournaments on this fun course would be awesome. Now if we could just make that happen at Lago Vista that would be awesome, as far as short courses go Lago is definitely my favorite in terms of elevation and scenery.Unfortunately it looks like I am going to miss the Tony Ware Memorial again this year because it falls on a 3 day weekend that my girlfriend and I both have off but I will probably make it to the Bang n Chains Open though.

Yes, this is replacing the NorthSide Open. We plan on having the winter tournament and summer tournament each year. Conroe is really putting some work into the course. They have installed bridges over the creeks and are looking at putting in conrete pads.

I CAN HARDLY WAIT!!!!!

Hopefully my Game shows up, unlike in Austin, Saturday and Sunday....

Joe!, never fear keep your plans open for the weekend of June 17-19. I have rented two rooms for my birthday celebration. Everyone invited! no pimps! p m for information or whatnot

The bridges are complete and we are working on the tee pads. Hoping to have them in by the tournament. They are big tee pads, 14' X 7'. The city would like some labor help from us, so we are looking for a work day in the near future. Hope we can get some help.

Mini's are back on at Conroe, Saturday 10am. <font color="blue"> </font> ACE POT OVER $100

<font color="blue"> </font> CEMENT TEE BOXES <font color="black"> </font>
Conroe will pour the cemet and float them, if some of us will frame the boxes. I am hoping to get a back hoe from the City.
<font color="red"> </font> WORK DAY, SATURDAY MAY 28TH AT 9:00 AM. <font color="black"> </font>
The more people we have the quicker it will go. Please bring shovles and hammers.

Yes, the tee boxes will be sweet.

Hey, and dont forget about the friday before DBL's. It will be $10 per person, two fields AM and Open. Am will be paid in plastic and open in cash.

Is ther a mini this weekend or just a work day?

scoot? can you make spring valley today? or macgregor?

Nope I'm in Livingston and will be going to my dad's later this weekend. :D

We will not have a mini tomorrow it will be a work day.

Well I wasn'nt able to make it sorry but I hope it went well.

Anyone up for spring valley tomorrow?

Thanks to the few people who showed up on Saturday, Tim, Scott and Jeff. We thought more people would be interested in cement tee boxes. Do to the lack of interest we were only able to complete 9 tee boxes. If anyone is interested we would like to complete the remaining tee boxes on Sunday, June 12th at 8 am. Please let us know if you can help.

Also, Thanks to Mike from Lousiana , as he was the only person to donate money ($50) towards putting in the tee boxes. Hard to believe one of our biggest supporters is not from Texas.

Another work day scheduled for Sunday, June 12th. Hope we can get a few more people interested in cement tee boxes.
If you can't make it and would like to make a monetary donation please contact Wyatt at 866-223-4601.

Yea, lets get these boxes in so we can have some badass teepads for the tournament.

Hell Yeah!!!

Concrete Boxes would make this a top notch course!!!

:cool:

Fly pads would be better

Whatever. :confused:

Cement pads are the way to go. :D

Sorry I did not make it sat I went and played in a doubles tournament. :(

At McDade the best thing is cement tee pads, they occasionally open the dam and can flood part of the course for a short time. During this flooding, cement will hold up the best. Plus they are grooving them for better footing.

Not to mention "fly" or rubber pads, can be stolen, concrete would take MUCH more effort..... :D

The last event we had 87 people, but had to put 5 players on some cards. We are limiting the field to 72 players to keep the cards at 4 players.
We have already received several sign ups. You can mail us your entries at the above address or use titledisc.
If we have any openings, we will be taking entries until 7:30 am the morning of the tournament.

The pads that went in friday look badass. The teeboxes are going to be sweet and just in time for our tournament.

Looking forward to this event. :cool:

I think that this is the only event on the weekend of the 25th, so we should have a great turn out. :D

Keep up the good work Wyatt the course is looking better and better every time I come down. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Alright...I'm all signed up for this baby...'cause being capped at 72 players, this one's going to fill.

Are there only one set of tees that everybody (all divisions) will play? If I remember correctly, all advanced and open divisions played a longer tee box on #1 back in the Northside Freeze tournament earlier this year.

Is the cement tee box the shorter position on #1, or the longer alt position?

Same for the Bang'n Chains?

Yes, it will fill probably before Saturday morning. We already have several people signed up.You can use title disc (http://www.titledisc.com) , mail in the entry or catch Wyatt or Shawn at the course. We will be taking sign ups during the minis on Saturdays.
Everyone will play from the new concrete tee pads. #1 will be the normal location.

I am looking forward to play! and U Robbie.. play Adv or going back to Int? :D

I'm playing Adv for this. No excuse for me on this course, since I can reach every hole (or am 'capable' of reaching every hole, anyways).

But if I DFL, I might consider moving back down... ;)

Robbie is playing Advance now.

We are going to put the rest of the tee boxes in this sunday. Come out and give us a hand, any help will be appreciated.

OK, starting to look like I will get to play this one.....

And as a Bonus, after we finish up in Conroe, plan on a road trip to Shawshank in Huntsville, for a celebration of Jimbo's B-day Saturday Night, and Sunday. We will have some sort of semi-organized golf Sunday, and a throw down Saturday night.(BYOB)

For any of you who havent played Shawsahnk yet, I HIGHLY recommend it. For thise of you who have, I am sure I will see you there, as you already know not to miss a chance to play this course. Camping is available, for no charge and if that is too primitive, you can always get a hotel in Huntsville.

BE THERE!!!!!!!!

Mini the next two Saturday's. We will be taking sign up for the tournament at the mini's.
Saturday mini ACE POT IS UP TO $125.

We are almost half full. If you are planning to attend I suggest you sign up soon.

Cement tee boxes are all finished. :D

Is there a course map available?

I don't think so.

If you are wondering about distances I think that 2 holes are over 400, and the rest of the holes are around 290 to 360, with some of them being tight and others wide open.

Yo Efrain you gonna make it to Conroe??

not sure about the tourney , however i will be in the area from july 12-15 and looking for courses to play etc and some pick up rounds or minis!!! :D

We are almost half full. If you are planning to attend I suggest you sign up soon.



Players list? :D

There is a large map of the course at hole #1. I might have a map I can email to you.

That would be very kewl!!! thanx!!

Efrain...

Here you go...I just threw this together from memory...the distances probably aren't correct...I just kind of guessed them.

But the layout's close enough to get you around the course:

http://www.urbangrounds.com/images/disc%20golf/McDade.jpg

thanx robbie , that is just what i was looking for!! :D

That is a good map from memory. :o

Yeah, Efrain, there's no trees on the course at all. :)

Yeah, no trees. Except there a trees on #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7......#18.

can we see a players list?

OMG Cooper- - I did not realize you were Rainman :)

We will post a players list after this weekend.

Yo Efrain you gonna make it to Conroe??



I might make it!! :D

Sweet man you should try its a great course and they always run great Tournaments!!!

I have a 2 bedroom Golf cabin reserved at Del Lago Resort for the weekend (10 minutes from the course). I just IM'd Gary C about staying too...I think he said you guys were car pooling to Conroe?

I'll be there around 2:00 on Friday.

eric and leon should be stepping up to adv soon :confused:

nah , there skeered!! :D

eric and leon should be stepping up to adv soon :confused:



I dont think so.. Leon havent really beat me in any tourmeny, so, he is'nt ready. That s why he is in Int.

actually it looks like eric beats you quite regularly!!! :p

actually it looks like eric beats you quite regularly!!! :p



Did I said Eric?? no.. that s why I just said Leon.. Eric.. yes he should go up to Adv. :p

Why all the hate all the sudden. What did I do to deserve this?
I will move up when I win straight out. My rating isn't what I go by even if its an 892(MA2 rating). When I win a tourney then I will be advanced from there on out.

also, why the hate on Leon. He finally starts coming up in the past 2 or 3 tourneys out of the 10 he's played this year. Check the rest of his finishes.

no hate bro!! just fun and games!! The only people that are offended by being called a bagger are those with a conscience!! Its all in fun, BAGGER!! If you are being called a bagger or told to move up , consider it a compliment (or something)!!lol :D

now move up already!! You should have seen the stacks of plastic i had from my int. days!! still selling them puppies!! BAGGER :D

EASY E!!!!

WHAZZUP BRO!!!

Still need to sign up, may have to drive out one afternoon this week, and try and find someoen to sign up with.....

Leon is in the right division. :cool: Why don't you just move back down to Adv. Chris, You should've won Gonzalas Tx 10. After that finish I would seriously consider it if I was you. :eek:

not offended. bagger is a compliment. Chris has been pushing us to move up.

chris tries to get everyone to move up!! :D

conger!! you playing or what?

Like, Ouch.....

When does titledisc close down - I would like to play if there will be signups Sat. What time would I need to be there if you have not posted that it is full?

I think they said 7:30 to 8:00 if it was not full, but i could be wrong.

Titledisc will be closed tonight. I will be at McDade Park around 2 pm until dark on Friday for "Bring Your Partner Doubles" and will be taking sign ups. We will be taking sign ups Saturday morning if there are any spots left. Several people have called us the last two days wanting to sign up on Friday. I will post on Friday night if we have any spots left for Saturday morning.

efrain salazar and gary collier should be there fri evening to sign up as well!! :Dlooking forward to this one on a new course to me!! :D

is gary going to play open. We don't want to see any more crying about it again. I saw enough tears from people on the waco thread

no idea!! he played open at gonzo and did terrible so probably not!! :D

hey easyE gary will play Open if you play ADV :confused:

I will post on Friday night if we have any spots left for Saturday morning.



Cool - Thanks!

hahaha!! Brad will represent until I'm ready.

Chris are you playing?

he said he was not playing!! something about the course being too small!! :eek:

If your game is distance this would definitely be a tough course. Many people do not like techniqual courses.

I'm very much distance but I still can't pass this up. This course is sweet

I like technical courses!!! :D

Have you played the course before?

Crying?

Looking at the size of the open pool I think he should be bumped up. :D

lol. :D

Have you played the course before?

never even been in Conroe!!!! :D

so all the teepads are in now, right?

Cement tee boxes are all finished. :D

:D

All the tee boxes are complete.

I can't wait until this weekend. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

you gonna be there Matt thought you were headed to DGLO?

The concrete tee pads at McDade Park are SWEET! I was also super impressed with the new boardwalk bridges on holes 4 and 15. The craftmanship on these bridges is outstanding - can I get whoever built these to add a deck to my house? A couple of holes, such as 5 and 11, look they've been thinned out a bit, too.

The McDade Park course will never feature world class length or challenge, but with these new tee pads and bridges, it continues to be the nicest course in the entire Houston area.

Nice , I am stoked!! :D

you gonna be there Matt thought you were headed to DGLO?

No I will be at the Mid america Open because the DGLO thing didn't work out but I am going to stay a little longer and maybe make Mid nationals. :D

what happened with DGLO?? :confused:

George didn't want to go. :(

Go greyhound!! git yer butt up there!! :D

Anyone looking for a dubs partner. i'll be out there at about three just messing around. So any pro or advance guys let me know or i'll jut see you tomorrow!!!!

I'm leaving my office in Austin around noon. I'll be to the course around 3:00.
Call my cell in case I don't see you on the course (512-785-3472)

Gary said he didn't think he'd be able to leave Ft. Hood until after 4-5...too late to get there in time for doubles....

Is there an updated players list?

We should not have a problem signing up this afternoon , correct??? :D

There shouldnt be a problem for you and Robbie to sign up in open :)

WELL, LOOKS LIKE IT INST IN THE STARS FOR ME TO PLAY THIS ONE NOW.....

another great course!!! I am looking forward to playing this course again soon!!! Great tourney which was well run and flowed smoothly!!! Lots of fun today , thanks for the hospitality!!!!! :D:D:D:D

great job on dubs e ,how did you do in the tourny?

Open
Flesner -14
Hague -12
Collier -11
Hughes/Ashton -10

Adv
Bratten -14
Bender/Salazar -12
Pearson -10

No aces. Efrain takes 2nd & $150 in the Acepot CTP. So he didn't do that bad. :)

Good job Flesner, nice playing. 2 wins in or around Houston this year, you must like it down there.

I think that my putting is just coming around finally.

This was one of the best ran tournaments that I have ever played. Players meeting and and tee times were within a couple of seconds of the scheduled time, and that is a lot faster than it happens in Ft Worth. We were leaving the course at 4:05 with cash in hand.
:D

This was definitely one smooth tournament. Can't reiterate enough how nice it was to be on the road by 4:00 after a tournament...

The course looked amazing...with the new concrete tees, the exceptional wooden bridges, and the stone tee-markers...this course is one of the nicest and best maintained courses in the state.

Congrats to Robbie B on his win...enjoyed playing with you on Friday and Sat....nice Ace on #3 during doubles, and glad you got to witness my ace on #5 on Friday, too.

Looks like Gary held his own in the Open division, cashing ahead of some pretty good Pros.

Scores?!??!

Robbie, scores are up.

Scores (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=5323&amp;year=2005&amp;incl udeRatings=1#Open)

Great course, I;m looking forward to your next tourney. McDade is really nice for those that have not been out there. It's deceptive because it looks so short on paper but there is plenty of trouble to make it interesting.

I know you guys worked hard getting those tee pads in and they are great.

That was the best run, smoothest event that I have been to in a while. Started on time and finished by 3:15!!!! See you next time!! :D

And speaking of scores...I like the variance in the preliminary ratings:

1st round 48 = 965
2nd round 48 = 975

:)

I think a couple melt downs helped him out.

I know that chris was -8 with hole one to play and took a 5 to finish 1 stroke out of cash had he taken a 2 which he did all weekend he would have been tied for second, and Bubba had 9 birdies that final round to shot a -3 to also finish one stroke out of cash.

Flesner!!!!! You've got those Houston boys by the balls, no? 2 trips down there, and you come back with your 1st, and 3nd pdga win! LMAO!

I still haven't forgot about you. We need to get you a quality disc to throw. Congrats!

Yes and If I wouldnt have missed 4 twenty footers the last round then you would have been 2nd. /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

lol.

/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Is that why you still play Advanced. :eek:

Almost had a melt down myself!!! -6 with 5 to play and a 3 shot lead i proceed to bogey # 17 #18 &amp; # 1putting me and Effrain all square at -12 with two holes to play. Luckly i was able to birdie both of the remaining holes and take the win. last round 8 birds 3 bogeys

And i proceeded to continue my lame flat round!! 4 birdies no bogeys!! :confused: Lots of fun regardless!! I thought it was quite hilarious the pro scores compared to the advanced!! :D

And i proceeded to continue my lame flat round!! 4 birdies no bogeys!! :confused: Lots of fun regardless!! I thought it was quite hilarious the pro scores compared to the advanced!! :D



If you had stayed out of the monster tree.... :)

Pretty good Adv. scores!!!!!!!!!!
Ewe Baggers :D

If you had stayed out of the monster tree.... :)



that was funny!! I came out of the tree with 8 ant bites , a 2 inch cut on my leg and my putter where it needed to be!!! Disc golf , Ya gotta love IT!!!! :D

Was the Monster Tree on Hole 11?

I managed to have really good drives both rounds on #11, getting past the first tunnel with no problems.

I think #4 and #9 are the only holes I birdied both rounds.

Monster tree is on hole 2. If you were behind it or in it, you would understand.

I was behind it in round 1 and had to stretch out and throw a 20' roller for a save of 3. Efrain, as he stated, was in it during round 2.

Yeah , the hole that is wide open except for 1 tree!!! I might throw a thumber next time !!!@@@ I'll tell ya whats nuts , i played 2 full rounds and only threw 4 thumbers!! Thumber on 13's drive (both times) and thumber on 14's drive (both times)!!!! :D

congrats to all those that played well!!

anyone have any pictures of the tourney??

I've been braggin that I got DFL and was wrong the entire time.. The week is getting better already.:

Well run tournament, Conroe crew.. They were actually ahead of schedule, calling two minutes before every one even had a chance to get to their holes :D

lol.

/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Is that why you still play Advanced. :eek:



Actually no I play pro only now. My last 2 tournaments have been Pro.

I threw thumbers and pancakes all over the course. I threw a thumber on 5 and parked it both times. 12 and 18 I thumbed. 14 I pancaked over the trees for 2.

I know it!! there were tons of thumber ops not taken advantage of by me!! looking back i can see thumbers on these holes: 2,3,4,5,9,10,12,14,18!!! NEXT TIME!! :D

After looking over the scores a bit more, Where was that game when we played skins out there Robbie :eek: Nice throwing.

I think happy learned how to putt!!! :D:D

Happy...is that Robbie...lol. He was all over the place in skins out there, glad he got it together for the tourney.

I know it!! there were tons of thumber ops not taken advantage of by me!! looking back i can see thumbers on these holes: 2,3,4,5,9,10,12,14,18!!! NEXT TIME!! :D



You guys are crazy.

Now that is an outright lie. Spring Valley, Waco Am. Glad to see more open players in Texas though.

You need to learn how to read. I said my last 2 tournaments have been pro and thats all I am playing.. Come to Shreveport in 2 weeks and I will show you how to play that course. /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

never would have guessed #13. I didn't want to hurt my arm trying it but I can see the run.

never would have guessed #13. I didn't want to hurt my arm trying it but I can see the run.



this thumber is strictly for placement!! put youself at the gap (maybe 250') and easy up shot for the 3!! :DI saw many people trying to throw through the gap and shank their drive!! course management!!! :D

Thanks for eveyone coming out to support the tournament. It appears everyone had a good time, despite the harsh sun. I brought a camera and forgot to take pics. Will try and get some pics of the course for anyone who did not make it. Look forward to seeing everyone in January.
