get yours now

We are starting up a program at Pease park to improve the tee boxes year round...not just the week before COTO...any person or group can Adopt-A-Box of their choice...Dave Moody will oversee the project to make sure we all use the same materials and are on the same page...See Dave,Mike Suida,or myself to sign-up or get more info

#1 and #11 have already been snatched up...so get yours today

NOT ALL AT ONCE :D

Tis true...Tanner Flemming has adopted #11 and Moody's D.G.P.S. has adopted #1. Very soon I will try to set a good example by fixing up the grand canyon that we call the #1 tee box .

ill take on 16, i hate that box and its my favorite pease park hole.

Awesome. Thanks for stepping up Yeti. Talk to me about materials next time your at the park. Ok, who's next?

I will take 18 , dave!! :D

ok...that is #1,#11,#16,and #18...only 14 left and Christmas is getting close...so get yours today before they are all gone :o

Thanks ES. It will be nice once we have 18 folks willing to commit the time and effort. And really nice to have Pease tee boxes in good shape year round.

Eric Salazar will take 17!! :Dyou going to be at the park today , Dave?

Dave...post on here if anyone signs up at the park...and Team Justice will take the last one, whatever hole that ends up being...only 12 left

I noticed that the new running trail behind #18 is made up of some kind of asphalt mix. If the city allows this material for the trail maybe they will allow it for our boxes?

would be nice anything besides gravel would be great.

I'll take hole #7 as long as we can work on these on our own time; I say we mark the tees like the tees in Conroe. That engraved stone looks nice on their tees.

Ok Joe. You can work on it in your own time. As far as marking the tees, let's focus on the tee surface first. The white posts with tee # on them will work for now.

Could somebody get with whoever and check out Hemmeline's idea. I thought of that quite awhile ago and kinda forgot about it. Maybe Waterloo should look into it. It sounds like a far better idea than an adopt a box program. Seems as though that surface would be very beneficial to the course and players. If the City and or "officials" whoever they may be like us being there so much to help keep the rif raf down, maybe they could see ther way to giving us some decent boxes to play from.

The adopt a box program is a great idea! Thanks to Tanner Flemming for coming up with it. Jeff, I talked to the PARD and the concrete company people about the trail material and watched as they poured the "test pour" of pervious concrete. It was an educational demonstration. Now PARD has to get the Citizen review board to okay it. It can be a long process. In the meantime we need to take care of the boxes ourselves. If and when the time comes that we can use that material we will have folks in place and ready to prep the boxes for the pours.

I wasn't saying it is NOT a good idea, taking care of them ourselves is a great idea I just like the idea of the other surface better in the long run. You didn't respond to what Hemmeline said so I didn't know you knew so much about that surface Dave. Thanx for the enlightenment.

Get with Gordon for the city's objections to concrete pads. He's been to the meetings and can explain to you why they think a 4x12 concrete pad is worse for the environment than all of the 50 foot wide roads around the park. :confused:

I'm sure Gordo will chime in sometime. Hemmeline brings up a good point, if they make a trail out of it then why not tee boxes.

Like Moody said, the piece of trail done was a test. It hasn't been approved yet. If it is approved, we would likely be able to install pervious concrete pads on the Austin courses. Until then, adopt a box. :)

I guess a better question would be, how long has it been waiting to be approved? It seems the trail has been there awhile. Does the DG community need to light a small fire under the city's hiney to get some forward progress going towards this. I understand as previously stated that it is a long process, how long is this process?

Hey Jeff...what box do you want?...we still have 11 left...#2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,12,13,14,15(that is 12,I am taking the last one)

Does anybody know?

yes

Great, let's keep it top-friggen-secret then...

hey now dont have Rhett censoring you...








Rhett over here :p

Why you dirty rat... :)

yo Jeff...this is the Adopt-a-Box thread...so pick one or move on...maybe you could start your own thread on how to take over the world :o

You can kiss my [I'm a potty-mouth!] Mitch, Maybe I wanna know what is going on with the boxes before I made a committment, like how long you expect somebody to take care of a tee box,what kind of surface were supposed to stick with or not, how often you want these boxes fixed. I don't exactly want people calling me saying "hey this box is screwed up and I heard your the one in charge of it could you come and fix this" That's Austin DG for you, ask a couple of questions and get fked with or don't get any answers. I always have thought you're a pretty good guy don't go pissin in my post toasties by talkin chit to me about legitiment questions. You can answer the question or leave it alone, not that hard to do, right Mitch. There is 2 of us here that are intrested in improving a couple of boxes, If you feel a need to act like an [I'm a potty-mouth!] to me then keep on looking for people to fix them up for you.

It's pretty simple , in my eyes!! If you want to improve a tee-box at pease park well then adopt a box or help someone else that has adopted a box!! I have #18 and I expect it to be in far better shape when I am done and furthermore from that point!! If you do not want to participate well then that is your perogative!! Either way , # 18 will be improved as well as a few more that have been adopted!! :D

there should still be some guidelines in what is all invovled. like do we want to try and make the boxes look the same or does it not matter. How long does one own the responsibility of said box? and Efrain I will help you with #18

sounds good ware!! Dave and Mitch have all the details!! I am going to probably completely re-do #18's box starting with re-framing!! Me and Eric are going to work together initially on 17 and 18 then once we are satisfied we will maintain them individually!! It would be nice if we could get the city or parks dept or somebody to dump a load of base materials for us to work with at the park!!

i will take # 2, will get with you guys to see what we can do for materials. is max still the city contact guy for the park? i know alot of people are unhappy with the granite but it was all the pard people were willing to let us use. some thought leaving it alone was better so i'm hesitatant to use it again as it truely is inferior. i do think it works better than the unimproved dug out rock pits we were throwing from. jeff pick a hole and get behind this. you will not get calls to come out and fix a divot. to those of you who have stepped up in the past thanks forever, for those of you who play , complain and keep playing..shut up or step up!

Kewl Dan , when you find out about approved materials I would like to find out!! I think we can make crushed granite work if thats our only option!! We might just have to be a little creative!! for help with working with granite read some of this: granite boxes!! (http://www.pdga.com/msgboard/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=455227&Main=363503#Post455227) !!! :D

Thanks Dan, and well said about the steppin' up. To any and all: If you wish to adopt a box and want answers to indepth questions or simple ones come and talk to me, Mike, or Mitch. I like talking face to face so as to eliminate misunderstandings that arise from text talk. Also, as previously stated....this thread is to expand the list of interested parties in the adopt a box program. It's purpose is not to air out all of the particulars. Again, face to face is straight up efficient. As many of you come by the park often please talk to me about it in person. I have no secrets, if you know me...that is obvious.

My bad...I thought I could ask questions about this program on this thread. I'm not going to go jump in a car everytime I have questions about the tee boxes, but I will take the Capitol hole. Lemme know when we can get started Dan.

Hahahahaha. You Austin guys are funny. Always quarreling about something. I have a question. :D

If I adopt a box and need some materials, what is available for me to use, or do I have to get in my pickup truck ;) (or steal Chris') and go get the materials?

sounds good ware!! Dave and Mitch have all the details!! I am going to probably completely re-do #18's box starting with re-framing!!

let me know some of yalls ideas, E. I've got 16 so we can use all the same stuff for the last 3 holes and all work together to get it done, then the course will finish in style.

all I know is, once I am done with 16, I'm going to park it everytime... :D

I'll take hole 13.

Jeff, it's anyone's guess as to how long the approval or disapproval of the concrete test will take. Waterloo had been discussing a test box with the city since before I joined the board a year and a half ago and that still hasn't gotten approved so it's not a very fast process.

I recommend sending Gordon an email, gordon@ventbird.com, since he has more communication with the city than anyone else that has responded to you on the message board.

but I will take the Capitol hole.




Pick a different one Lou, I already claimed 13

Missed that. I scanned through those posts with the "answer my question" vs the "just adopt a friggin box already" debate. :D

Put me down for hole 4 & 5, Dave or MJ. I might as well fix both while I'm over there.

Thank you Lou. Good choices! See ya at the mini tommorow?

Thank you Jeff. I'm having trouble with my compooter. #13 always needs love.

thanks to Tanner for the idea

I won't be able to make tomorrow's mini. I'll be at a coworker's funeral at 10am. I'll definitely be there for the Christmas Party mini next weekend.

Lou,
I would be extremely honored if I could assist you with #4 and #5.

Thanks, Bert. It's hard to plan right now with all of the holidays and parties but I'll get to it in the next couple of weeks. :cool:

That's right Lou. I keep looking at #1....so far that's all I've done. But soon, in the new year, #1 will be "loooooooooking good".

I need a Star Anything, Mitch. $$$?

Lou and I are starting on #4 and #5 tomorrow.

I couldn't make the mini Tues., but did enjoy playing Pease over the break. I wrote a good review for the course under the "best TX courses" thread. When you all get a resolution on the tee pads, Pease will be the best city park DGC in TX!

Happy B-day Dave. You and Vinnie. Peas in a pod. :D

happy bday, Dave. u dont look a day above masters.

vinnie, shut yer birthday donkey. ;) jk old man. dont hurt me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVE !!!! :D

Thanks for the birthday wishes all. Happy Birthday to V and all the other goats(capricorns) out there. My second annual 39th birthday passed smoothly...like a gall stone:). Back to boxes. The boxes are looking pretty rough right now. Let's get out there and do what we can to patch them up until the day comes when we pour! Word from Olse is that we are setting up a pow wow with the club and PARD to once again discuss/argue for the concrete pads. Pray hard and in the meantime lets do what we can.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVE !!!! :D



happy b-day Dave!!11 :D:D

happy b-day dave!

Hey Dave I sent you a PM.

Efrain,
I really like what you did with your teebox but it's crooked and faces the mando.
:D:D:D

Maybe we should aim #4 T-box at the creek. That's where most disc end up.
:cool: :D

well, sad to say, but I must put up my #16 box for adoption after march, as I will be moving out of state.
but I will do something to it before I leave, as I have done nothing so far and I feel bad looking at it the few times I played the hole the past few weeks. :(
any takers??

I think many of us feel poorly about the boxes. It looks like we may get some test concrete boxes sometime soon:). Sorry to hear your moving....

Where you moving to Brandon?

Sorry to see you go to...enjoyed playing on your card the few times i had the chance.

Efrain,
I really like what you did with your teebox but it's crooked and faces the mando.
:D:D:D
