@ Old Settlers Park, Round Rock - March 11-12
I'll leave it up to Vinnie & crew to post more info. :)

Teaming up with Carl "Mad Dog" Meeks this year. We were going to play advanced, but decided to play pro master, so Round Rock here we come. Of course, with my player rating having dropped to 880, I could play intermediate, but I can't see that being all that much fun. I haven't played the Rock since Texas 10 in '01. I'm due.

Vinnie, ya out there? I'm looking forward to seeing the info, so I can plan for it. Do I seem a little anxious? I am. I'm feeling the pull of the disc again. :)

I might be looking for a partner if anyone is interested :D

Mar 11-12 Texas State Doubles Pro Round Rock Vincent Miller 512-723-9026. this is the week prior to wimberly PRO weekend

all I can say is if Rivery re-design is done prior to texas states everyone that comes to play will be quite surprised of the changes.

What about that new Williamson County course? Will it be open? If so, how about it and the Rock, or better yet, how about it and Rivery? :p

Actually, I'd prefer to play it all at the Rock, since I haven't played there since 2001, but the new Manor course would be cool. I hear it's gonna be a pretty nice one. But then again, I've never played Rivery.

James have not heard any updates on the new wiliamson county course. But the new RIVERY is going to kick SOME [I'm a potty-mouth!]!!!

will this be like years past and include rivery and old settlers!! will there be a trophy only option ,for the ams who do not want to play state am dubs, VINNIE???? good way to add to the pro purse , and by looking at the past years attendance , why Not???

Would "trophy only" divisions be available to the ladies?

The pro weekend will be held on Rivery and Old Settlers.
It will not be sancationed( no pdga advantages)
So play pro it will not count against you with the P.D.G.A
We will have a master, open men and would love to have a open women's division.
There will be added money and everyone knows I like giving trophies. So join me in naming the Texas Double Champions on March 11 & 12

Okay, where do we sign up, oh Vin-Lord? :D

Marcus Roberts and Jerry Perez- Pro Masters :cool:sign us up.

sounds like a winning combination there Chile /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D

Brain and Carlos is also a good team, can't wait.

I wonder if Ian will play since it is unsanctioned? :D

Vinnie so what do you need for this tournament to be sancationed? $$ how much?

I wiil sponsor that money :cool:

TEXAS STATES DOUBLES!!!!! will be sancationed!!!!!! :cool:

I say don't sanction it.

I may be playing with an amatuer so if it is sanction then I will be looking again. BTW it will get more players if it is unsanctioned as some AMs would rather play this one than AMs.

true dat

true dat


Yeah and i might have another AM team coming to this one. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I may be playing with an amatuer so if it is sanction then I will be looking again. BTW it will get more players if it is unsanctioned as some AMs would rather play this one than AMs.



that's right!! ;)

Chile, don't get all Vinnie on me cause I am asking politely, but why do you want this sanctioned?

POINTS!!!! and to keep the BEER drinker's from getting DRUNK!! on the course. :D:D:Dand WHY NOT!!!? :mad:

Because of am team's sssshhheeeee move up!!! Skeered? James??? Scooter skeered? Ware's drinking!! You don't have to play. ;)

Now! who's coming to Texas State Doubles?? Will there be any pro master teams from Dallas, and Houston?? ;)

slow down there Beaner. :D don't bring my drinking into this. It has no impact on why you and Marcus are hiding in Masters.

Because of am team's sssshhheeeee move up!!! Skeered? James??? Scooter skeered? Ware's drinking!! You don't have to play. ;)



No just scared of having to find another partner right before the event if it is sanctioned. BTW Vinnie could just say NO beer during the rounds. All the normal rules would be followed and MORE $$$ would be in the pot without fees taken out.

[QUOTE]

Don't bet on it. A lot of pros won't play an unsanctioned event. Just look at El Chile bouncin' up and down there. :D

But he will still play. I don't know of many pros that would change there mind on this event being TX state dubs if it was sanctioned or not. You don't get a rating bonuses or anything. All you get is points(nothing) and money reported the the pdga.

I was NOT gonna play if this tournament was not sancationed Now who's skeered of Roberts and Perez? Are you skeered of us Ware? :D

I still don't know why you care if it is sanctioned. I can't think of any pros, other than you of course, who would boycott the tournament if it was not sanctioned. And, if being unsanctioned meant that a couple more teams would play, and Chris could carry his cooler ;), then why not let it be unsanctioned.

At any rate, AK and I will be playing masters, so I am scared of the open teams, but certainly not scared of the masters. :p

James why are you SO AGANIST it being sancationed and McCaine and AK will be a good team as well. ;)

Jerry thanks for the sancationing fee. At least it will not come out my pocket.
We had our big cash sponsor pull out for this years dubs event. So we need cash sponsors. WHO can help?

I don't care either way. Anyways, I trust Vinnie will make the correct decision. That is what we pay him the big bucks for. ;)

yeah big bucks!
If I had a dollar for every hour I spent supporting golf....I could quit working.
Is the McCain foundation going to be able to give up $100 sponsorship?
The $75 Jerry challenges is on! :D

For a minute there James I thought that team McCaine and AK where not gonna make it.

The McCaine foundation might look favorably at a donation towards the women's tourney, and might buy the Tx State dobules TD and his helpers some beer and food or something.

sound good

hey perez if you and roberts are not skeered why you HIDING in Masters???? Sanctioning this tourney will SUX!!!! take the sanctioning $$ and add it to Masters. the open field will be big enuff if it is NOT sanctioned

So will it be sanctioned? If so I might not be able to make it. :confused:

Ok I can make it. Sanction IT :D

Ware why don't you step up for once and sponsor some $$$$ for this tournament, I've done my share . /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

The club has always sponsored Outlaws....Maybe instead of Outlaws(which I just picked up a cash sponsor for) could sponsor Texas Dubs instead.
HOUSTON we have a problem! Can we get some help?

I will sponsor some $$ if its not sanctioned. Done your share PLLEEAASSEEE!!!! Shees guy shows up for 1 work day and now he's done his share :confused:

I took care of the sancation fee's. Who know's I might come up with some $$$$.

As for my share I mean $$$$ the work thing will not be my last day of help, there will be more work days for me.

someone call a WAMBULANCE WA WA WA :D

We are going to be using two course again this year. This will be the roll out of the newly improved course at Rivery.
The work on the course is better than thought and I'll bet it kicks everyone's donkey

Vinnie so what's the entry fee's??

I will release the entry form befor the end of the week

Cold Steel so who is gonna be your partner for Tx States Doubles?

Carlos can't make it, so I probably won't either. :(

Sorry to hear that Brian. Any other masters teams gonna make this tourny?

Vinnie can we sign-up at the Rivery this sat.?(workday)

jerry
yes

Cool, see ya then.

Vinnie, what is the format for this year? I thought I saw (new) Rivery and The Rock? Two rounds at each?
Some touring type dudes want to know about added cash as they are thinking about coming early for TX states before World doubles.

Did you know the PDGA Tour pages have the Pro Texas States slated for March 4th and 5th?

yes 2 rounds at each course. always added $$ . not sure why the PDGA can't list tournaments correctly :confused:

Okay I am confused. Is this sanctioned or not?

Does anyone know how to get in touch with Alex Downs?

El Chile paid the sanctioning fee, so I would say yes.

anybody need a partner??

I might. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I think Turbo scooped up alex downs for partner last I heard, but don't know for sure.

Figures. Too bad I got dropped so late. :confused:

What about JD ramirez or Jimmy Z? :D

don't know JD and jimmy may have a partner, I'd be surprised if he didn't by now.

JD is really good but I haven't seen him in like 2 months
:confused:

JD is really good but I haven't seen him in like 2 months
:confused:


you didn't see him at the big show in cedar hill!!

That was the last time I saw him. I was exagerrating :D

I think JD is gonna play with Giggler.

Any out of state golfers coming down for this?

Vinnie, how many teams are you expecting to have in Open?

My-hero is playing with Giggler. I may have someone to play with that throws HUGE!!!!!! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

My-Hero is not playing. He is gonna play Worlds with Giggler. JD and Giggler are playing states.

Oh ok. :D

I still need a worlds partner though because the guy I might play States with already has a partner. :D

I still need a worlds partner though because the guy I might play States with already has a partner. :D



Who are you playing States with?

I have to see on the Downs thing but probably Bratten. He has been shifty lately but I think he will feel more comfortable on his putts in dubs and did I mention he throws HUGE? :D

Allright, it is golf season! Anyone have a contact number for Alex Downs. I need to let my dubs partner know I am still alive.

Turbo lives!!!! I just figured that after slaying the mighty Yeti, you had decided it was a good time to retire. ;)

Alejandro has a phone? I know he has about 40 discs in that bag, but does he really have a phone. :p

I can't speak for Robby but I think that Alt and Worst shot is way harder on the putter than playing best shot.

Why don't u try to pick up Dixon for World Dubs?
I don't think that he has a partner.

PM me some contct info on him. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Vinnie how about a players list!! Thanks. :cool:

OK pros, ANYONE need a partner for State Dubs? This is Chris Albert looking to play some golf. Also if someone from outside Austin needs a place to stay PM me. My apartment is quite convenient for Round Rock and Rivery.

I wonder where in the world is Vinnie Miller?

OK pros, ANYONE need a partner for State Dubs? This is Chris Albert looking to play some golf. Also if someone from outside Austin needs a place to stay PM me. My apartment is quite convenient for Round Rock and Rivery.


And quite a tidy apartment as well :D(Thanks for the few hours of needed sleep the last time I was in town! Sorry I missed breakfast)
Don't think I can make dubs this year. :(
Have fun y'all!!

Last I talked to JD Ramirez he was looking for a partner. Give me a call and I'll give you his digits.......

He is playing with Gigler.

Well I got a partner now where can I get an entry form?

Entry form!! you don't need no sinking entry form!! You can sign-up on sat. morning. Vinnie likes to do things crazy and at the last minute :D:DSo don't be late :D:D

Or a new TD for Tx States Doubles ;) :D

Looking for a partner.

You should play with Chris Albert. He might even hook you up with a place to stay. :)

Already tried. I was too late for him.

Anybody got a place to stay? I was getting ready to book a hotel but I figured I would try this 1st.

can we get some more information?? I see that it is $80 per team does this include ace pot if not how much more? also will there be doubles on Friday if so which course? also when will all the boxes me marked and in the position we will play this weekend? thanks

I can't find my program. So Vinnie, what time and what course is the players meeting at, and when is the last possible minute one can sign up saturday morning?

The TD is way too busy with (twc) other tournaments, to worry about Texas State Doubles I feel like there is gonna be alot of loud talking( shut up and listen) at the players meeting

Chirs Ware are you and Clayton playing Doubles?

Not sure on Clayton he may have broke his arm last night riding a go cart. DOH..

Yea V what's your deal? You telling me all you have time for is to get Rivery ready for all these ungrateful bstrds. Maybe if some more VOLUNTEERS would of showed up during our workdays you could of had all the pissy little info these pro's want to know. Hey somebody get a hold of Olse and see if he has any info for the TX7 while your at it, because he has had just as much time.
While I'm raving, out of this whole city we had 11 volunteers on 2 courses. You should all be fortunate there are people out there willing to sacrifice so much for these courses. Area golfers hide your face!

word from the TD:

"2nd round Singles at Rivery .."

how does that work?? just curious!!

Maybe he means "Best Score"?

yes singles nice round Efrain

How about a combined singles score? That would be cool.

yes singles nice round Efrain

thanx , Rivery is a very welcome change of pace from the norm!! Some really kewl holes that can make you or break you!!

Count team Bitner in. We will be arriving on Friday night and signing up saturday morning 8-9. We are there though, don't start without us!! :D

I will let V know is that Open?

Yea Chris, I'm forcing him to move up somehow. :) Thanks

so dont forget to head out to rivery tomorrow that will be one course you dont want to play blind.

Doubles 2:30-4:30 flex start $30 a team rivery down by the play scape

Oh but I DO want to play it blind. My dad and I will be heading up Saturday morning so I guess we will see you there. :D

you will see me in round rock you guys have a safe trip

Thanks. Now reply to the Rivery thread. :D

This is not your father's Rivery ;) This new layout explores more beautiful land amongst the San Gabriel River for some new shots and, oh yeah and remains one of Texas' most wooded courses. It takes a lot of hard work to make changes to any course. There is still more to be done, but it will happen. See you all at doubles.
Like Ware said, you are gonna want to see this one ahead of time :D

Good luck to all.

I have to go to the Bahamas, but I think I will survive. :D

Donald the giggler aces #14

What did he shoot?

not sure they were lost most of the round. they missed 7-12 and had to go back. I think they were just playing the course. so what you guys doing?

Good luck to all! :cool:

WWuuzzzupp Ware?

thansk Hauf waiting for grider and pepper to get here.

Please tell them to kick ANUS! OK? you too.

will do . thanks

I guess -7 (47) is gonna stand for awhile :cool:;)

With Nolan and Clayton not playing Jd and Donald will be a tough team to take down.

Go DFW!!!!!

20 bucks they don't win :o;) :D

With Nolan and Clayton not playing Jd and Donald will be a tough team to take down.

Thanks Vinnie and crew for all the hard work at Rivery. I enjoyed the course. Congrats Chile and Marcus. I take it y'all pulled it out the last round. Did you hear any pissing and moaning during the last round. :D

Congrats to the skinny ethiopian boy and the legendary mountain animal. Y'all put a nice donkey whippin on the field.

The only pissing and moaning was from Copper and Kline Copper hurt himself with 5 holes left.Ron finished the round all by his self.
