This used to be the Circle R date. It should be a blast playing this course right before Christmas...

Here is the correct thread - of course Moffitt is a typo up top for those of you that can't go with what I MEANT to say hehe

Yes we will do 21 holes if I can find a spot for them all - - it will be 18-19-20 r 21 for SURE - - :cool:

$1300+ ace pot up for grabs on a great course!

where are the temp holes?

T.B.D. :cool:

We will play 19, 20 or 21 depending on what I find lmao :p

Count Temple in, we will be bringing 7 or 8 your way come Friday Dec. 2 :D WIll there be doubles on Friday :confused:

See yall then :) :cool:

With the time change there will not be doubles on Friday - - I am looking into Hotel info right now...

I CANT WAIT!!!!!

Should be awesome......

Just signed up today. Conroe has become one of my favorite little tournament courses...lots of work has been put into this park. I'll be out there most of the day on Friday getting in a few rounds.

I found a La Quinta on www.expedia.com (http://www.expedia.com) for $81 - then priceline.com is always an option.

Here is the link for Yahoo Conroe hotels as well. Hope this helps...

$81 :eek:-thats pretty steep for Conroe I would think.

It was the only Yahoo 2.5 star - there were ones for $60 as well - I would think Priceline would be the best option...

Sat Dec 3 Partly Cloudy
80�/48� 20% :D :) :cool::D

80 degrees in December, very crazy Only in Texas

It was the only Yahoo 2.5 star - there were ones for $60 as well - I would think Priceline would be the best option...



Conroe is expensive because of the Outlet Mall and its proximity to The Woodlands. Definitely a Priceline opportunity...

Can't wait to play this "no ace run" course again. :)

Players list?

Maybe something closed to Huntsville might be cheaper, and would allow for an opportunity to play Shawshank on Sunday.

which would be cool as long as you werent forced to play a round with Dufrane. :D;- just kidding

Play nice! God knows we're all unique and individual creatures! Have you looked in the mirror recently? LOL! j/k

OK lets not get out of hand here. :)

But if you play with Dufrane you get to ride in the cart :cool:

Players list - I think we are around 30 not counting holiday sign ups so likely a lot more - - I'll put something together after Ben sends me the next batch of Titledisc....

youve got 6 or 7 coming from Nacogdoches according to my friend thats from there.

Hey Suemac!! You playing this one? If so look forward to seeing you there :D

Of course I'll be there! Already signed up.

See ya there!

Susan

Somehow, I think that the exercise would be good for the soul. :D

Or you could just be playing a whole tournament with Joe banging around in the cart the whole time. :D

I'm in. Looks like the weather will be great (positive thoughts)

will there be someone at the course fri. taking sign-ups? what will the field be capped at?

No one will be at the course Friday taking signups unless someone I know wants to volunteer lmao. Titledisc is taking signups of course :D

We have room for 105 and will be taking signups until 9 sharp - - I of course would not turn away out of town guests that sign up before 9:00 - - please help us out and sign up early on titledisc and get a players pack (pro and AM)

I should be in, right Gimp? It looks like I've got final confirmation from the TitleDisc sign-up...

Where is a reg. list? (or more to the point...how many MM1s have you got?) :D

It looks like I am going to be able to make this one for sure, I aced hole #2 at Circle C this afternoon so I may have jinxed myself for the acepot but I'll be there.

Good ace though. :DHey Gimp wouldn't it be awesome if it pushed until the finals? :D

Gracias amigo, never heard chains. Second silent ace that I have had out there, same thing happened on #8. Must be the ghost of Circle C :D

just for curiousity sake , does anyone know the official course record at Mcdade park? :D

I would guess -13

Robster said that he shot -13 in a casual round and I had it at -10 berore him.

My best is 11 with a double bogey on the 1st hole but I'm pretty sure Jim shot a -13 with a JLS and MS.

A 5 on hole 1?

Ouch.

I think that is how Chris finished the last Conroe tournament, due to Jims head games.

Yeah "DO you breathe in or out when you putt?" used to get me back in the day. :D

sweet!! just signed up on titledisc!! :D

What I'm looking forward to is sitting in my lawn chair on the river bank after the tournament and helping to drink the beer that I bought for everyone with my ace money. Suggestions for the kind(s) of beer are welcome. Yes, you're all invited. Everyone bring your own lawn chairs. :cool:

Make mine a cold one Colonel.... :p

Cold and free sounds about right - but where are you going to cash that check? Just kidding I will have $$$CASH$$$ for the ace winner :cool::D

55 so far - - http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=4958#Open

Sign up early to save your spot... We will take signups until 9:00 or until we get to 105 - - out of town guests will not be turned away if you are there by 9:00... :cool:

THE ACE POT IS ALREADY OVER $1300!!! :D

***cross post from HFDS board***

I'm not sure on filling or not... 55 is a TON of signups for a Team D event with tons of non-regular LSS players - Honestly I would be SHOCKED if we hit 105, but it is certainly possible which would put the ace pot WAY over $1500... I know the Golden Triangle is bringing a large group that is not signed up yet as well�

Titledisc will be open through Thursday night late and you get a players pack for signing up early so SIGN UP! :) There is a nice rec women's field shaping up to answer that question...

Wow.... A Yeti sighting in Conroe?

Looking forward to another great FHDG/TD LSS event...

Oh, and Dustin relocated to Pennsylvania? :)

No he is still in the GT but I think that may be where his game relocated to.... :D

So what time is the players meeting and tee-off? (or did i miss that somewhere :confused: )

If anyone knows how to get a hold of Boo pearson please ask him to bring my shirt I left in his cart at states!!

I'll give Boo a call for you Efrain.

thanx jake,!!

Effrain....

Waiting to hear back from my buddy on confirmation of the Golf cottage for Friday night (he said that it's not a problem, he just has to get the confirmation info from the Front Desk to make sure we have it reserved).

No problem w/ Brandon sharing space...there are two beds in the second bedroom.

I'm leaving Austin around noon tomorrow...so should be into Conroe around 3:00 at the latest.

Do you have my cell phone # (I've got your's just in case we miss each other at the course for any reason).

18 more entries today :o

Signups taken until 9:00 SHARP players meeting at 9:45

Gimp

OMG! Out of 10 adv masters signed up, seven have better ratings than me. I suddenly feel ill. :( Maybe I should play rec.

kewl deal , and yes i have your ###!! see you at the course tomorrow!! :D

Ace pot is up to $1445 - the new list is up. This does not include people who have signed up on titledisc today - - http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=4958#Open

C'mon where are all the MPO guys? I hope we can at least get more then six for this one. :DLet's shoot for ten. Des might have to play up though.

If Des moves up Matt, then it's likely you'll get bumped outta the cash line for sure! :D

Yeah i only beat her by two in OK. :DI played lefty though. Hey guys don't be skeered she won't be moving up. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif









SYKE

Yea "who gets bit by a dog the night before the Tourney???" oh yeah Matt does!

Wow, good to see the Rec Ladies field growing!

So, where are all the Advanced gals? Just talked to Dee, she'll be attending, and that makes three??? Ouch!

Get the Recs to step up. :DHey Robbie it was saturday when I was bit. The funny thing is I shot the same score both days. :D

Easier said than done!

Tell the not to be wusses. Hey why is it that at some of the TX 10/7 events when there is no FPO players the adv ladies don't step up and play for $$ instead of plastic? Just wondering I mean it isn't sanctioned. :D

Obviously you haven't been paying attention, I've played up several times since July, even when I knew I was just donating! (along with several other Adv. Ladies) Would expect to continue doing so in non-sanctioned stuff, just waiting till summer.

"Living on Tulsa time" :D

And were there TX10 events without a FPO field?

Yeah in the past. I didn't pay attention to this year.

That's definately food for thought. Will file it away for 2006.

Yea "who gets bit by a dog the night before the Tourney???" oh yeah Matt does!



:D- good one, I watched it happen, that was crazy.

Crap!...all but one of the intermediates have a higher rating than me. Hey at least only one rec player is higher. :D
WANGO TANGO......WAAANGO TAAANGO....

Yeah but at one time your rating was higher thewn all of them. :D

We are up to 99 - http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=4958#Open

May run a couple of ghost cards and shorten some holes for the 2nd round if it goes to slow - looks like titledisc is up for a second more...

If you think you are in and are not on the list you may need to contact me :D

Gimp I say you make the MPM guys move up. :D

I'm pretty sure Chris Z is coming with me so we just need to show up really early right?

Wow. I think in large part it's a testament to how much fun this course is to play...although I'm guessing that the $$$$ ace pot just before Christmas has a lot to do with it too!

I'm dissapointed that you might be considering ghost cards and "shorter" holes (how do you shorten an already really short course??) ---- this diminishes the enjoyment of the tournament for all of those who had the foresite to register early.

There comes a point when you just have to cap it and be thankful that you filled (and in advance of the start, too).

We're already looking at 5 somes on every card of 21 holes. That's going to be plenty slow (on short sun light days too boot) without adding even a single ghost card.

I'm pretty sure Chris Z is coming with me so we just need to show up really early right?



Is he signed up already, Matt? If not, why not? If not should we "squeeze" in a few ghost cards so we can finish in the dark? Or maybe you're volunteering to have 6-7 on your card?

(****, what got in my butt tonight?) :confused:

You have been warned "before" the event that there may be a ghost card. Not a single Team D event has ever threatened to fill before and a lot of people are used to signing up the day of the event, even people that travel from far away. I am not going to turn people who play all the events away because they did not know this one time... It is going to be a long ace run filled day, I am sure you will still find some enjoyment Mr. Cooper :) On top of that I don�t know a SINGLE person that is not on the list that is planning on coming. We stand at 101 right now with two more possibly dropping in the morning.

If anyone does not want to play because of the numbers just let me know TODAY (FRIDAY) and I can get you a refund. I think you�ll miss out though because this is going to be a BLAST!

I hope also that people are inclined to play because we work hard to throw enjoyable events. :D

Yes I think it is mostly the course and ace pot of course though lmao :cool:

There are only two holes that may be a problem imo and if they do create large backups, we will alter them for the 2nd round so we can finish during the day lmao - - of course the two holes I am thinking of may have caused problems for us with 75 people as well, we will just have to see�

Just getting the full part off the top since it is not...

shorten some holes for the 2nd round

shorter holes :confused: count me out. I have heard Smoking joe and PDP will be in attendance

shorten some holes for the 2nd round

what, you don't like more ace runs?? :p

400 ft is ace run for me :D

400 ft is ace run for me :D



I can second that, as i witnessed it. :D

John...

I'm going for the following reasons:

1) You do throw great (and enjoyable) events
2) The course is a lot of fun to play (and it's my home town where I grew up and went to HS)
3) **** that ace pot would make a nice stocking stuffer just in time for Christmas.

My only real concern about the field size John is all the people that you "don't" know whom might be planning on showing up on Saturday morning. You promised that you would not turn away "any out of towner" who arrives before 9:00.

Well, not many city of Conroe disc golfers, so really, almost everybody is an out of towner --- seriously, what if 20-25 people show up Saturday morning to sign up (not that unrealistic of a possibility)? Are you going to allow all of them to play (5 ghost cards, anybody?)

Maybe you might want to reword your earlier comments to "there's a chance if you show up Saturday morning, you might not get to play, 'cause this bad boy is full!"

I know I'll have a great time, regardless.

I kept a promise like that a few years ago in Waco and had 252 people show up. :D There was more than a few ghost cards then.

Have a fun weekend, sorry I won't be able to make it afterall.

Chris :cool:

Can't believe the number of women that will be in attendance.

Good job drummer man...

One of the reasons I liked this course so much was the fact that we finished the Bang'n Chains tourney before 3 pm. **** I hate slow play.

How about course marshals with cattle prods???

One of the reasons I liked this course so much was the fact that we finished the Bang'n Chains tourney before 3 pm.



yeah , no kidding!! that was very nice , getting home at a decent hour after a 3 hour drive!! :D

Maybe we can send the Adv Masters to play at the nearby The Woodlands course instead? ;)

We will not have 5 ghost cards and you are NOT and out of town person if you are from the Houstona area - - two more spots opened up this morning - we will be fine :)

I'm pretty sure Chris Z is coming with me so we just need to show up really early right?



Is he signed up already, Matt? If not, why not? If not should we "squeeze" in a few ghost cards so we can finish in the dark? Or maybe you're volunteering to have 6-7 on your card?

(****, what got in my butt tonight?) :confused:



Well at the time there were still 6 spots so if we got there early he could've gotten in. BTW he can't play

so smoking Joe wants to know where the poker game will be 2-nite?

My house :oActually I might be able to make it since I am staying only like 15 min from the course. :D

Des should play open.

I think that she would kick some butt on those courses. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

She's Good!!!!! is anyone going to be out there today?? i'm going to be there aroung 2:30 or three so if anyone wants to play see ya there!

Yeah but at one time your rating was higher thewn all of them. :D



Thanks Matt. My goal will now beeeee....at least 950 by the end of '06....barring floppy wrist syndrome. Maybe if I weighted the beer cans.

The first three people that call me for a spot are in... If you have not talked to me before now, you are out of luck in the morning. 832-279-8084

I just got a call from Gimp and he asked that I post that this event is now officially full.

Good luck to all tomorrow!

Prediction.......one ghost card tomorrow. And we finish in the dark.

No reason to think we will finish in the dark - - If you have not talked to me you are not in - we are full... Anyone who is grossly offended about having one ghost card for folks who were here tonight from out of town can let me know they would like a refund as long as you let me know before 8:00 am - - I do understand that some people hate playing on slow rounds, but we should be able to keep things moving, and this event was never going to be a 45 person done by 2 type of event :). The updated list will be up shortly...

A "gunman on a roof" could speed things along. Or shorten some tees along the way.

Krazy - I think that sort of thing only happens in Corpus! :D

Sat
Dec 3 AM Clouds / PM Sun
83�/63� 0%

I don't think we are going to sell many long sleeve t-shirts tom. 83 degrees is CRAZY - - the truck is packed and we will be looking to buy and transport some water to the course when we get there... :D

scores ace pot hit? :p

3 aces (Fatboy was one of them)..... I beleive Alex won open....115 players, two 5 player ghost cards, and they finished in the daylight :) From the reports I got everything went smooth!

Yessir...All went pretty well. Very short lunch though...

Great day of disc golf! Weather was pretty windy but otherwise just picture perfect.

The Conroe Parks staff have done a truly remarkable job in getting this course into shape. New concrete tee pads on every hole (probably the first in Houston too!) rocked, and the bridges they've built are awesome and a great model for some of the other places where bridges could be used in town! The Parks department did an absolutely stunning job in mowing the course and trimming everything up beautifully. I'm gonna have to think about moving to Conroe! :D

Great day of disc golf and great players out there to play with today! Thanks guys! :D

(Oh yeah...to my own shame - I threw an ace in warm up this morning before the tourney and so I used all of my luck up for the real deal! Rats! :D)

Our $1013.00 ace pot got hit today as well. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Who won Adv?

Oh yeah, the acepot was over $1600.

1013 ??Z_boaz? who won open?

I was one of the naysayers thinking that there was no way that 21 holes with 5 players on every card + 2 ghost cards would ever get done before dark...especially since we didn't even tee off this a.m. until just after 10:00/

But much credit to Gimp and his crew (and to the players and course conditions, too), but the flow of play was tremendous. Hardly any backups at all.

I agree that the Conroe course is a model for how to manage and maintain a course.

Everything did go smooth. Great placement of the ghost cards (after 1 and after 13).


And I still can't 3 hole 1. :mad: :confused:

What is hole one like Tony?

It's 404' from tee to basket. There is a concrete jogging path that defines the fairway to the right, left, and behind the tee box (about 35' behind the basket). On the path and beyond is OB (also, about 15' past the jogging path on the right is the San Jacinto River).

The fairway is about 100' wide, and slopes hard from left to right (towards the River). The fairway is lined on each side by tall pine trees, with a line of shule on the left (which is inbounds) that runs about the first 250' of the fairway).

And the wind always seems to be blowing right in your face.

It's a good hole.

Had a great time and got to play with some great women on my cards! Thanks to Gimp for a great event. Congrats to the guys who hit that ace pot!! Great to see everyone again.

Sure hope we get to see the final results up soon...I know Gimp had a Christmas party to go to last night, but it's almost noon already! :D

scores????? :D

here's how to do it

Lago Results (http://www.pdga.com/msgboard/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=479939&Main=5034#Post479939)

Since you are so good at getting scores online Seewhere maybe you should help Vinnie get the 2 months late Outlaws results and report to the PDGA. :eek:

And the wind always seems to be blowing right in your face.

It's a good hole.



The right side of the fairway is wide open, not lined with pines. The pines are 15-20' outside the OB line. All a righty needs to do is throw down the right side and let the spin keep it inbounds. It does not setup well for lefties. A LH anhyzer either falls out too early or never comes back. Straight shots skip nasty. The wind does mess with every shot, as does the fast surface.

I circled 4'd (OB right, hit the putt) and circle 5'd (OB left, missed the putt) it. I think I've three'd it once out of maybe 10 attempts.

Since you are so good at getting scores online Seewhere maybe you should help Vinnie get the 2 months late Outlaws results and report to the PDGA. :eek:



Plus, if you wanted to know the scores maybe you should have shown up to play.

Oh Tony my dad took the #1 tag from me today at conroe. I shot my worst round ever and he shot -3. :D

himing working on it.. and Bender shut your [I'm a potty-mouth!]!!

http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=4958&year=2005&includeRatings=1#Open

Sorry for the delay - hit a MAJOR wall last night with a nasty course. Glad that it did not hit until AFTER this event. Thank you to everyone who came out. This course is absolutely beautiful - a HUGE thank you to the locals who helped get it in and the Conroe Parks Department!

now if we can get some of the lifers to move up from rec to int than int to adv and adv to OPEN, might of had a open field worth driving all the way there for. 7 Open players very disappointing. :confused: Glad I did not waste the gas. what happened to the readings I saw Jay was signed up?

Hey gimp Pete's PDGA # is wrong. He is listed as a 875 player :DHey that shoul move the ratings up like two points

No Pete was just using his alias (Micheal Jackson) :D

Pete's PDGA # is 19986

A couple of thoughts on this....

1 - If more Open players would sign up early, then the field would be bigger earlier and the chain reaction would increase the field size. I will speculate and say that this is what happened to the Readings. They saw the low turnout in MPO/FPO and stayed home. A little sad, because I think Des could have easily cashed in MPO.
2 - The PDGA has defined the divisions. As long as players are playing within their rating appropriate division, the system is working (regardless of what you think about ratings). No need to go out and create a bunch more pros who will be out of tournaments within a year.

Actually from what I heard they had a comitment in Corpus that would have made their ETA for Conroe pretty late. I am sure Gimp or Yeti will clarify if they want to.

Your not going to get too many Open players willing to travel to a C-tier event, some local Open guys didn't even play. If this was a B-tier there may have been more Open players.

Let's talk about something positive, like 11 Rec Ladies hitting the course on Saturday! Four advanced and Andi in Intermediate Men!

Ladies, there were a few of you out there who should be moving up and joining us in Advanced! Hope to continue to see such good numbers in the coming year!

Guys, be sure to sign you ladies up for TWC next spring! Lots of extra special goodies for the ladies of Texas!

Smooth, that's all I can say about the way things went all day! Hats off to Team Disaster!

Your not going to get too many Open players willing to travel to a C-tier event, some local Open guys didn't even play. If this was a B-tier there may have been more Open players.


Congrats to the ace getters and the ladies turnout!
We did in fact have engagements in Corpus all week and after a long day of standing, talking non-stop about disc golf to teachers on Friday, the goal was to sleep and drive in the 3 hours on Sat am. Did not plan on 4.5 hours to be there or being exhausted, so made a great decision in the long run. Des was planning on playing Open Men, your lucky Scooter :eek:
Distance is correct though, C-Tiers really should be about the locals and building the game within the Am ranks. A B-Tier status shows some committment to gaining sponsorship for the Pro purse, thus in turn inviting pros to travel in from various cities for play. The women's turnout alone shows that this tournament was highly successful.

I like the fact that the tourney filled up. I could care less about the open division. If thats how the pros think then let them play in a field of 10 or less. The open class should support the tourneys even though they are a c tier.I think the turn out for the women was incredible. I have never played a tourney were so many women came out to play.Congrats to all those who placed. Thank you to the conroe crew for the great course.Thanks to gimp and his crew(I still can't believe they pulled this off before darkness fell). We are beginning our work on making the pleasure island event the best this year with added money and some creative work on the course(we lost a lot of trees in the hurricane, so all you big arms might want to play this event because of how open the course is).I hope to see everyone at Mcgregor.

Gimp, thanks for running a great tournament. I really enjoyed the day. I realized how much I miss seeing everyone that I only get to see at tournaments. Guess I should get out more.

Your not going to get too many Open players willing to travel to a C-tier event, some local Open guys didn't even play. If this was a B-tier there may have been more Open players.


Congrats to the ace getters and the ladies turnout!

Yeah I was lucky did you see that 1st round? I played better than that the 3rd round in Tulsa. It was a very fun event and it ran a lot faster then expected so kudos to Gimp. The only bads thing was some MPO players having to play with MM1's due to the field size. Oh yeah openb guys I dare you to come to MacGregor. :D

I'll come take your money. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I am 1/1 at MacGregor.

I am like uh better than that. BTW you never played open there. :D

Pete�s number has been fixed http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=4958&year=2005&includeRatings=1#Masters

Pecan is going to be a full B-tier with skins again, maybe some pros will come?

A couple of pros were turned away in the morning and a couple barely got in the night before because I did not know they were coming. The players pack that pros can get by signing up early is not much, but it is SOMETHING, and a little more than most other c-tiers and non-sanctioned events offer�

One local master and one local pro had to work at the last min. and that about covers Houston pros lmao�

I am glad people had a good time, we could not have had a nicer day. I know three people in particular that were very happy. $535 each happy lmao

Hey gimp Pete's PDGA # is wrong. He is listed as a 875 player :DHey that shoul move the ratings up like two points


Hey I guessed the two point jump right. :o

Dang! Good call there Matt! How did you figure it?

I'm psycho

And one more thing - - a HUGE thank you to everyone who pitched in through out the day� Off the top of my head, Scott, Tim, Dustin, Barton, Louis, Matt, Neal, Bubba, Larry, Roger, Tony, Cong and anyone else who I forgot.

In particular don�t forget to thank Tim Robinson and Dustin Galmor when you see them at the events. Scott and myself would NOT have been able to pull this one off without their help. 115 is NOT a little c-tier � we had 102 at Pecan Park last year on two courses lmao�

Also a huge thank you to everyone who comes out to support the events. If you ever have suggestions please feel free to drop me an email or a call � [email protected], 832-279-8084

SuperGirl (Nicole) wanted to post a message today, but she didn't have time (she had soccer practice today - after soccer practice I took her straight to her basketball practice). Therefore I am posting this message for her.

She really enjoyed playing with all the ladies at the tournament. It was great to have such a big field. It was the first time since last June that she was able to throw without pain in her finger. It was also the first time since last June that she was able to use her driver and throw hard. The highlight of her day came when she made her first tournament birdie ever. She made one other birdie in league play, but it was on an approach shot that went in the basket. This birdie was with a good drive and a good putt. So she was especially proud of this birdie.

She did have a few low points also. She was a little rusty and got a little frustrated; especially in the second round where she got 2 circle 8's and a circle 7. But overall she had a good time.

She said she wants to play in the McGregor tournament and hopes to see everyone there. Hopefully she wouldn�t have a basketball game that day.

Thanks............Rick

Why is my rating different for the 2 rounds, even though i shot the same score? Just curious. :D

Because most people shot better the 2nd round which lowered the ratings. So a even the 1st round would be higher than in the 2nd

Thanks, Scooter. Thats what i was thinking just wanted to check :D

No problem

I heard that there was a couple of Baggers from Temple out there that really put on a clinic ! :o:eek: :) Way to represent ! :D

Im guessing they shared that twin bed at the motel :oj/k :D

I don't remember any of that. :o

He was kidding, we sucked :(. But the women did good. :D

Oh you guys need to get some Open players. I need to get back up there and play. Did you get the other course in?

We got 9 in now, Its tough :D

Sweet My Grandmother live in Belton. BTW there is a sweet park by the lake that would be awesome for a course.

9 baskets in working on the boxes. They have been framed, just waiting on concrete and volunteers. The other 9 are payed for, havent ordered them yet.

The pro thing, it will take a while. If we ever have a pro at all.

I might have to move up there then. Seriously the courses are good enough to produce some good players. If you had just one good guy in town you would be suprised how many people would start to get a lot better.

If its the park across the street from Franks Lake View Inn, the city of belton is going to put one in there. :D:cool: They are talking like 2 years from now, but it has been approved so i was told.

I don't know exactly where it is but it is like 2 min from the dam on both sides of a 4 lane highway

Well it's lonely at the top! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif There catching on, But you know, you cant polish a turd. :o:o:D

:D

Franks is right next to the dam. The area across the road is clean cut w/ alot of trees, very nice piece of land just sitting there.

Well I will be up ther sometime and I will hopefully get to play one of the minis or something.

See ya then :D

Yeah

Well I will be up ther sometime and I will hopefully get to play one of the minis or something.



let me know when your coming Matt , I will meet you there!! :D

Ok I love that course
