A new course is slotted to be done at the end of this month in Williamson County. I was given the grand tour and I have to say this will be a great addition to the area.
The course is covered in BIG oaks and is a Houck design. The county has done the majority of the work and very close to completion. This Saturday will be your opportunity to see their product. We need people to show up and help haul cut limps off and line walking paths with rocks. The baskets are bought and next week the holes will be dug. So we will sink the baskets the following Saturday.
Directions: from IH35 go west on 1431 and take a left at county rd 175, the park is on the right. Go in main entrance, the course is across the street of the flag poles.
Park in the lot just down from the flag poles.
Time: 9:00am and we need bodies with gloves and some loppers.
The city will have gators and hand tools we need.
Williamson community service will bring some people out, but we need people.
Pm me if you can make it, I need to have a head count

Lots got done!
Most of the cuttings was hauled off and lots of bobcatting was done.
Thanks goes out to:
Eddie's ability to drive a bobcat.
Mike Olse for marching around touching everything
Mike crump for loading enough tree limps to build a cabin.
And I just laid around in the sun enjoying the day :D
This coming Saturday is the BIG work day.
Tuesday the holes for the baskets will be done, Thrusday the concrete delivered. Saturday 18 baskets will be planted and fingers crossed the city will have the tee boxes dug out during the week.
I am working on having lunch there so pitch in and enjoy the day.
PM me if you need directions

Mike Olse for marching around touching everything



Did he touch a bald head for good luck? :p

By the way, what is your opinion on the course, without officially playing it, of course?

better than anything in Austin!!!
Kinda reminds me of a longer meadows, with out thumbers :D

you know about touch the head!
you touch it, you better be a women. :D

This course is pretty much the Meadows in Wimberley without the creek and pond. Yes, better than anything in austin or Round Rock.........
Vinnie forgot to thank Eddie's dog for hours of entertainment.

thanx for all the hard work by the handful of volunteers.We should have a good showing this coming sat. with no tournies scheduled. Hey whoever , so all we need to bring is work gloves etc.? Will there be a need for any tools etc?

It is Easter weekend though...so some (myself) will be out of town.

But a hearty and sincere thanks to the few who have already done so much on behalf of so many!

There will be some lopping to be done. Other than loppers, just gloves and maybe a few extra shovels. The county folk will have a bobcat out there to help smooth out the boxes. They will also be supplying some gators and trucks to haul the concrete and water around. All 18 holes for the baskets were dug today. Course is looking good.............

Thanks for the update Olse. I am delivering the concrete tomorrow at lunch. We should be able to get them all set on Sat. with some good hands out there.

I will have two good hands there :D

Went by the park and walked most of the course. The only critique I have is to redesign a couple of holes to include a few more low ceiling tight lines :D
ps don't become a member in Olse's wothless sack of $%@# club and come help us set baskets on saturday, you will not be dissapointed in the course.

I guess my presidency of the WSOS club is not in jeopardy since I will be travelling to H-town for Easter. So, don't refer to me as merely any WSOS, I want to be known as THE WSOS. ;)

ps. Don't let Vinnie slack off. :p

This Saturday April 15 there will be a workday at the new Williamson county disc golf course. This is supposed to be a real quality course. Any help we can get will be greatly appreciated.Here are a few details:This couse was designed by John Houck and It has been compared to the Rolling Meadow at circle R.
LaLa is bringing lunch!!!!!
start time 9:00am at Williamson Park.
Goal: set 18 baskets...the holes have been dug!
From Ih-35:
West on 1431(5 miles) , take right on to 175(williamson park sign) go about 1/2 mile The park is on right.
Course is across from the flag poles.
<font color="red"> This will also be the second course used for the upcoming TWC!! </font>

let me know if you can make it, thnx in advance!!

Well, how'd it go?

Well, how'd it go?



it went very good, we had 27 different people show up and lots got done.. We had all baskets in the ground in time to play a round of golf!!! :D

That's great! So, tell us ladies what we can expect at TWC in regards to this new course? Inquiring minds want to know.

This new course reminds of the meadow course at Wimberley, but tighter overall. It test your ability to throw hyzer, anhyzers, while putting the premium on accuracy. The course is clean for being open 2 days, and you ladies will be glad you are here instead of Rivery. Par is about 62 as there are some par 4's and a par 5. I will be there at 5:30 today if anyone wants to play

Great! Tight and sweet! Thanks go out again to all those local folks who are working hard to make this happen in time for the Ladies!!!

The baskets are out right now until they finish the course work and get locks. They'll be back up by next week. I think they want to keep people off the course until they are done working.

FOUND:
red champion shark--no name--found saturday afternoon after the work day

Left a shovel in one of the gaters.....would like to get it back if possible. Mike if you know who I need to get with let me know

The course is awesome. Very tight but fair with clean fairways. Watch out for #10 true par 5 long and tight the whole way. Lots of good holes!!! Can't wait to play it again

Do anyone know when the course will be up and running. I will be working in Aus. Thurs. and Fri. and was wanting to play.

I would guess not this week but early next week ~4/25?? as the TWC will be the following weekend

Olse, i believe i have one of your discs ! It was found Sun. at the new course. I will leave it at the trailer at Pease!!!

Olse, i believe i have one of your discs ! It was found Sun. at the new course. I will leave it at the trailer at Pease!!!



Much thanks sir.

thursday that is!! orange Qj!!

Are the baskets in???!?!?!???!?

ah.,........no
And if you read up....you'll know the deal

Ah....what's the deal with this place? There's a couple of women I know that would like to practice it ah..... sometime possibly before the ah.... TWC. Seems only fair that a tournament would be held where people could actually ah.... play.

Baskets will be up Friday and back down on Monday.

Seems only fair that a tournament would be held where people could actually ah.... play.


It will be fair for everyone...they can see it all at the same time /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

so are the baskets down ??? thinking of trying to get round in out there? if so any idea when the grand opening will be?

I am headed there after work Ware. Give me a call if you want to hook up. 363.8104

Very nice course - many thanks to all who helped put it in.

FYI, there is some "new construction" on 18. Bees are building a hive on a tree in the middle of the fairway. This could make it an interesting signature hole.

I'm (barely) refraining from all the obvious "bee" puns.

Thanks for the heads up on the bees on Sun. Sure glad I wasn't the one cutting that limb off!!!! Lots and lots of bees for sure.

C albert are the baskets up? no golf for me ended up cleaning my truck for 3.5 hrs.

Flex thanks for sure on the BEE WARNING that is going to be a huge nest if the city does not do somethig soon.

Ware...yes the baskets were up yesterday...shot 62...Albert shot 56...What a great course...well worth the $1 pay-to-play. I've found my new home course. If Round Rockers played this course half the time, we'd rule the world!! :o

When I played it this past Friday afternoon, I joined a group of guys from San Marcos. They said they heard the course was going to be pay-to-play. FWIW

$1 where did you put the $1? is there some sorrt of box like Moody's?

are the baskets in permanently now??

baskets in permanently

no!
And there will be a honor box on hole 1.....and if not paid the county has it wrote up as theif of service....interesting way to met WILCO's finest.
No trash cans on course and will not be in the future. So all you austin fellers keep that in mind " pack it in pack it out" " see it pick it up"
I would hate to see something so nice turn into some Austin trash can.

Too bad those that need to know this don't read the board.

Any chance WilCo will post a big sign stating the "Pack it in / Pack it out" policy?

no kidding!! **** casual litter bugs!!

Are they in right now at least?
I want to play this afternoon...

Me too!!

No trash cans on course and will not be in the future.



Wow, there is some Williamson County logic for you. I wonder if they are going to have the same policy for the soccer fields. :D

What are the rednecks gonna do with their Skoal cans?

or their cigar BUTTS :D

That really seems strange, with the current layout, 3 or 4 trash cans where the tees are close together would cover the whole course and you would pass one every few holes.

Off the subject: I left a blue orc at the new course Sunday afternoon after the women played...Has my name on the back, but the phone number is my old one :( If anyone found it holla at me...Great course :cool:

Is there going to be an official grand opening?
Any Minis?

I am sure there will be a regular mini sometime in the near furure!!

You have to pay to play with fewer amenities. I'm surprised Austin didn't think of that first.

LOU.....
fewer amenities


This course will be have grass seeded, wild flowers planted, concrete tees, REAL tee signs, regular grass cutting.
Austin can't charge for cig invested, trashy, dirt mounds call disc golf courses.

Yea, yea, yea. You forgot to add smells to your list.

Seriously though, no restrooms, especially on purpose, is really short-sighted. In fact, it's gonna make me #$*&$! all over that course, standing up of course, with my hands on my side. :p

There are bathrooms attached to the parking lot the disc golfers will be using.
My bad I forgot how many bathrooms the Austin courses have......

I think Vinnie assumed that because there are trees on this Roundrock course that the bathroom issue was taken care of. I'm fairly certain that the trees at Old Settlers are used primarily as bathrooms. :)

I figured it out !
Its not just James....its all the Austin golfers, that have a over active donkey

A donkeyitis epidemic?

lol

anybody up for a round before the rain gets here again??

I bet it is real Nasty out there right now!!

even worse now!!!

real bad

Does anyone know when the baskets are gonna be in permanantly????????

?? good question.

sounds like they are pulling baskets as we speak. # 1 and 18 are gone

I believe they definately do not want people out there playing at the current time!! It is also very muddy!!

I believe they definately do not want people out there playing at the current time!!



The real question is "why"? I can understand they "aren't ready" but put the baskets in for the TWC.....which doesn't really answer the question of what else there is they want to accomplish before making it open all the time.

Wonder if the baskets are gonna be pulled occationally because of other events at the park....like soccer tournaments, or whatever else it is that goes on there.....and if so how often can we expect that to happen.

Regardless....this is a NICE course and whatever the reasons, we should play by their rules and if they aren't ready, they aren't ready........V can you shed some more light on this? Thanks

ok got an update. course is still under development and is not open for play. The city says they have a few more things to iron out in court and than around 3 weeks of work left than the course will be officially opened for play. So I would say by 6/18 this should be a full time course. They also said these last few days of rain have delayed progress. as for now I believe they are pulling the baskets as # 1 and # 18 are not in. so either go play lago, rivery , cat hollow, round rock or san gabriel plenty of courses to choose from.

Thanks Dub...

As tempting as it is to play anyway, we dont want to risk losing this course before we even officially have it!

no problem. the lady I talked to said she would and me to some email list so if I get any updates I will post here.

ok went out yesterday and all the baskets are taken down. So the park is closed until the grand opening. Still trying to find out when that will be

keep us posted....... :confused:
Let me know if you need a number to call

ok went out yesterday and all the baskets are taken down. So the park is closed until the grand opening. Still trying to find out when that will be



thanks for the update!! ;)

they are walking through the course today with auditors and will be making some decisions this afternoon on when they think they will officially open the course. the Secretary is going to send me an email with more information after today's meeting. I will re-post with more information as it is available

Auditors?

Did the trees lie on their tax returns? I just hope those auditors don't need to pee while they are walking the course. :p

I am sure if they have to pee they can hold it until they walk across the street to the huge bathrooms that are out there for our using.

I am sure if they have to pee they can hold it until they walk across the street to the huge bathrooms that are out there for our using.

or use a catheter!! :p

talked with the park folks and they are finishing the last details.
They are trying to come up with date that all the city officals can be at a ribbion cutting day.
I got the impression something like 2 weeks :D
I will keep everyone posted when the ribbion cutting mini will be held

I am getting anxious! Any new info on the ribbon cutting and opening. Let us play!

appears the 24th of this month will be the day if all goes well

thnx ware,, oh the anxiety!! :D

Up thread I read something about a mini with the grand opening? Is it still being planned? JP

You read good...we will let you know

appears the 24th of this month will be the day if all goes well




I am guessing things have not gone well, and no opening tomorrow? any news here?

I'm building a house right next to the course...should be ready in December. Maybe the course will be open by then :eek:

sounds like next weekend july 1.

A Hot July 1st I am sure. :p The 1st is the day before the LV Mini with the $350 Ace Pot :cool:JP

you are correct

so what time is this mini gonna begin?

which one??

Wilco Mini/grand opening?

hopefully grand opening this sat but not for sure. than a mini to follow. This Sunday is lago vista

I should have the details by mid week
$10+$1 ace pot+$1 pay to play fund ($100 payout)
AMS pay out will be plastic
open pay out cash
ace pot will be ctp if not hit
there just maybe a players pack :D

Players Pack ! Yeah! That is like winning something for guys who are usually fighting to not be DFL!! :cool:JP

possible this saturday they are meeting again in the am and than they need to build the message board.

so are the baskets in? we gonna do this? what's the dealio?

no baskets yet

So No Do Yet! :confused: What the ell' are we dealing with the goverment?! Oh! We are! :D
JP

For real!
I just got back from there. No baskets are in. Sleeves have nothing covering them, so that will pose a problem on a few of them(rock & debris in sleeves). They have done work on the rock borders of the path thru-out the course. They look nice, but not a very good reason from keeping us off the course. The tee-boxes are all marked with surveyor flags, but some of them need a little bit of clearing. We did the work day a long time ago- if more work needs to be done, they should invlove those that will be utilizing the premises, so it can actually get done!!

Got my first look at the course today --- was out on my motorcycle coming home from Dallas-area, and thought I'd stop by, as I always keep a driver and a putter in my saddle bags.

Very nice flow...was easy to follow and figure out where all baskets were supposed to be (yeah, they're not in yet). I placed rocks on top of the sleeves on a bunch of holes (when I remembered) so that nothing more can drop down into them.

If there is anything we locals can do to get this course open, someone let me know. I was anxious a month ago, now I am just getting frustrated.

I concur, unfortunately I think it is out of our hands.

ok the city just called and said they will have all baskets in and ready for play by 9:00 tomorrow morning. The official Grand opening will happen next week. We need to show our Disc Golf support at the Grand opening.

WHOOOOOO
freakin
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Thanks Ware! Its about freakin time!!

sweet!!

happy happy joy joy.
So when yall getting out there?
My calendar might have to just cleared up.

thinking around 10:00 or so tomorrow morning

Chris, what's the fee? Is the entry fee box around hole 1?
Tom and I were planning Rivery and Old Settlers for Sunday but that will probably change now.

I believe they have a drop box of some sort on hole #1 and it is a $1 to play.

course is in and playing tough.

Yeah, I played for the first time in a few weeks.
Man, this is not a good course if you are going for an ego booster!!!

I have my reciept still....WC 001
That thing is gonna be worth a fortune someday!!
:p

lost my green pro wraith big show stamp somewhere around hole 12 or 13 best I can remember. what a great course but you better bring your A game.

any course improvements since TWC??? great to see this course finally open!!!! :D:D

a nice sign at hole # 1 other than that nothing. if anything it might be worse since the little red tee markers are getting harder to find and none of the tees are marked. you would not believe how many folks could not find their way around the course.

Someday we might need a dedicated page just for the Lost...

LOST one red metal mini circle R stamp...

Course is awsome go check it out!... <font color="orange"> </font> , any grand openning details

I knew I would be out of town when they puTT them back in!
But hey with our new place....I am 10min away.
I will be using this course everyday gettin ready for Worlds.
I work on the the grand opening details

Vinnie you movin?

This course is the closest to my house also- 8 miles.

It kicked my keester the other day- thinkin about goin out this afternoon for some redemption...Anyone in?

They have put a lot of work into the rock-lined mulch paths that direct you to the next hole. I can see how you could get confused in a couple of places if you didnt look at the map first, but overall I think it flows well.

The one thing I dont like is only one trash can on the whole course, and it is on the first hole. Who brings trash to the first hole? They need more trash cans, but I dont think they have any intention of putting them out there.

yeah...I am up on palmer between 2243 and 1431
pack it in, pack it out......TRUST ME they are lookin for people who don't pack it out with a pin and citation :o

ProDonator, you have a P.M.

Someone mentioned minis on Monday at the new course. Any ideas on when they might start. NIX, I am going to play after work today if you wanna play a round together 5:30ish

Just talked with the city again and she will let me know on the Grand Opening date and time. Jim the main guy will be out of town this weekend so probably won't happen this weekend but she will call me. also the scorecards do not have # 6 on them it has #8 for # 6 and 2 # 18's the first # 18 is # 8 and the second # 18 is # 18.

also no glass containers allowed

anyone playing out there tommorrow around 5 or 6?

Played yesterday Sun. with the Hemmelines and on hole 12.....Bang!!! Ace baby!! Wilco's first according to Steve. Awesome day on a very fun course!

I will more than likly be out there pm me and I beat you there also :D

Chris the day got away from me- not gonna make it today....You probably wont see this in time though!!


Erron I'd like to play...Give me a call tomorrow

this is a great course, gotta like a course that you have two perfect 300 ft throws and you are still no where near the basket #10 (not that i had two perfect throws). I would suggest some rocks be moved for seating or maybe benches for slow play.

great course to work on the 2 finger flick. Olse is going to LOVE THIS course.

I played it once, but it was more than a day ago, so I have forgot everything. Are there tee signs or something to guide me along?

yeah

no tee signs , no trash cans, but there is a course map on the back of the scorecard, just note that # 8 is really # 6 and the first # 18 on the back is # 8. good luck..

I want to hear some scores on this course. Course par is 61 I believe. What is the record? I know Jimmy Z shot a 54 yesterday and I shot a 52. Anyone in the 40's yet?

thems some nice scorz!

Yes, I'm in the forties. :p

James, the older you get the easier it will be to shoot less strokes than your age. We should get together to play a round this weekend.

i will be playing at wilco today (the 18th) around 4;30 to 4;45 if anybody wants to join me?

I was thinking about playing today, but I might wait til a little later when it's not 1000 degrees. I'm so stoked to finally get to play the course! Anyone else down interested in playing....Eff, CWare....anyone?

today is our weekly mini at the ROCK. 5:00 hole # 14

wilco is a BEAST, it spanked me like a red headed step child.

There is a bee hive on 18 at WILCO. From the tee box go 200 ft. straight at the basket to the big tree in the middle of the fairway. Look up at about 8 ft. off the ground where they cut off a big limb and left a hole in the tree. Then you'll notice about a thousand bees around the hole looking at you! So when you hear someone yelling chances are it will not be an ace!

anyone??

anyone what?

Today at 6:00pm......and everyday till WORLDS!
I got tag #1 who wants it?

lost valkrye on the left side of hole # 6.

also what kinda of CRAP is it where 2 of the 3 cards play shorter tee boxes on hole # 6 while 1 card tees from the original location!!!! :confused: sounds like BS to me. might have had a 3 way tie for second if someone would leave the tees alone until all cards have played them :mad:

original location is the shorter spot! by all of 12'
Who ever moved it back opened up a shot to the right making the hole easier and the county is NOT going to be happy about people altering the tee boxes. But if you would like to join me at 6:00pm, I'll give you a shot a #1

I could not find # 6 tee or hole seven. :confused: A long walk between some holes.
What kind of scores were there yesterday?
JP

we played random dubs

-4
+1
+1
+2
+4
+8

after hole # 5 walk out and right a little and you will see # 6. than # 6 is a dog leg right. than after # 6 you will walk towards your left to # 7's tee box another dog leg right hole.

#6 and #11 can be confussing, But when they get the tee signs up it will be much easier.

#7 is a little right but to call it a dog leg...I guess you could call it a straightin out dog leg cause you can see the basket from the tee box

# 7 is not visible from the tee., you have to walk out to the left to actual see the basket.

you are right....as ALWAYS
walk out 2'of tee box and you will see basket

I have picked up trash and cig butts everytime I have played out there.
Golfers need to police each other on this.
If the trashing continues......I am sure the county will consider the worst

you are right....as ALWAYS



Finally you are seeing the light grass hopper

See if Vinnie can snatch the red wildcat from your hand. :p

LMAO....good 1 James
Now shut your donkey!
Come on out today at 6:00pm

another question which box did the other 2 cards play on hole # 9? as I noticed that had also been moved

we played the moved box

MIKE OLSE!!!!
I was told you may have been out at Wilco moving boxes.....
STOP!
I am sure there is something you could be doing in Manor, Cirle C or diaper detail at the house

We were just trying to get them to their intended locations per the course designer. 6 was supposed to be about 12' back, and 17 is supposed to be a bit to the left to stop thumber tee shots. Know that it is not vandals adjusting the tees. I will see you out there at 6 Vinnie, get James to go.

What do y'all do out there at six. Is it a mini, or simply a chance to whip some Turbo/Miller butt? ;)

If you move #6 back it opens open a shot down fairway12....unless you make the tree a mandotory.
And mandotory is for poorly designed holes
no mini....just the best practice for Worlds IMO. But James you go play Bart's 6 holes and be suprised of the courses in Georgia. I will bring along a shopping cart and place it in one of the worlds fairways to make you feel more at home.
Join us James!

Shopping cart. I'm gonna miss those at worlds. :D

I think I'm gonna make it. Going to get some shorts at lunch and leave from work.

you can still throw down hole #12's fairway where you moved it too.. so it sounds like a poor design than :confused: if the city really wants to keep this course nice they need concrete pads so the course does not end up with a bunch of wore out holes by each intended tee box. and anyone that moves tee boxes to remove a shot they cant throw is not a real course designer in the first place., you dont design a course to suit your game. :eek:

As always ware right again!
That guy is so right

Can't move tee boxes! :mad:
I was gonna move them all up about two thirds of the way to the basket so I can par out. Maybe even shoot under par. :p JP

Not so fast, Grasshopper. Chris ain't right about this one. What is wrong with Houck designing a course to eliminate thumbers? God knows we have enough of them around town already.

Anyways, it was Olse moving the box, correct? I heard he has a pretty good overhead shot. :D

Hey, so if I go up Parmer to 1431, which direction do I turn on 1431, and how far is that from the road to the park?

If you head north on Parmer, hang a right on 1431, and then hang a left at the first light. If is FM17? (4 or 5) to the left, and Sam Bass to the right of 1431 at that intersection.

I shot a 50 yesterday. I did skip 5 holes though.
I had forgotten reading up thread that on the map # 8 is really # 6 and visa versa. I thought it didn't flow very well using the existing map. :p JP

[/QUOTE]

Those are where the tee boxes are suppose to be based on the original design. Now, I don't know if they'll ever allow for #4 to be moved back to the original position due to the fact they jumped the gun and put in that walking path before the holes were tweaked. As discussed originally, #6 should have a mando sign on the tree. If that box is moved up too far it messes with the angle of the lines. #9 is not suppose to allow a thumber due to someone getting clobbered by a disc walking from #13 to #14. I saw Terry saturday morning and none of this matters anyway because before there is cement put in the ground there will be a final agreement with the county as to exactly where the tee boxes will be set in so far as a few feet this way or that.

Have fun, enjoy the course.

Ware, learn how to throw a forehand or practice throwing left-handed hyzers. That's the beauty of disc golf ya know................ :eek: :eek: :D

I am trying my best to learn the forehand and I also tied a pink ribbon on # 6's tree to show that there was a MANDO but some bald headed guy took it down moved the tee up than played the hole :confused: :p

anyone now how much rain it takes before the city will close the park for play??

teeing off at 3pm today if anyone wants to join me

3:00?????? to hot
I'll be there at 6:00

6:00??????????
too late

I'll be there at
3pm!!!

So is this still on?

yes

so how did the friday? what is the singles record out there?

Friday went great...you should of been there.
I have heard 52....but then I heard mike had a 50.
But I would say...its not a record till the boxes quit moving

would have liked to but had to go see the in-laws. agree on the record statement.

Y'all playing out there today?

V is i might make it 6:00

Turdo? Dale?

btw Turdo, happy belated b-day and thanks for making Mike hungover for saturday's round. :D

well what did you guys shoot on your card? could I have taken # 1???

I SHOT LIKE DONKEY!
But then I was focused on range finding the distances.
But was able to shot good enough to keep the #1
James had a great front 9....I think he was +1 after 9 holes

so what did ya'll finish at? I was also +1 after the front 9

I ended +5. Finished 5,3,3,4,4. :mad:

But, it was enough to win another thousand off Vinnie. :p

I ended up +3 finished 3,2,3,3,5 ouch :confused:

starting at 6:00 is too late for me. than once we got done my battery was dead on my truck so I did not get home until 10:00 from auto zone.

That sucks!!


and sorry to hear about yer battery!
:o
6 is too late for me also. Won't make it today, but we have been there at about 3 nearly everyday.....

what....clean trucks don't break down.
cleaning a truck is like doing maintance on the motor :D
Wilco is 7,013 feet long

I shot an 81, my new personal best!!LMAO!! :DI did end on a good note with a 3 on 17 and a 4 on 18.. :D

you shot a 79 and yes very nice 4 on 18 I should have played it left handed I guess.. :D keep practicing on being smooth with the release and coming across your chest in the same place. you were definately getting more snap as the round went

ahhh, even better!!

sounds like the grand opening will be the weekend of the 19 or 26. I told them that Pro worlds was this weekend and allot of players will be out of town. She said she will let me know more info when they have it. also informed that there were no scorecards on Monday , almost out of envelopes and that the bee's nest is getting bigger on hole # 18

Thanks Dub.

Did she say anything about the overwhelming number of players that have already paid to play?
Over 300 envelopes gone, and I bet half of those have multiple dollars in them!

no will ask her next time she calls. for a good laugh click on the below link .. :D

Hey isnt the TX 7 Aug 19th?

The Manor location is no longer a viable option so I am talking with Vinnie about getting approval to use the Wilco course and Cat Hollow as the second course for the August 19th event.

Things are still in the works but as things get confirmed I will let everyone know.

Thanks
Chris

...that the bee's nest is getting bigger on hole # 18



Someone needs to do a covert fogging operation.... ;)

yes I am hoping that someone is the city

would wasp spray work?

probably but I dont want to be the one spraying it. this bee's nest is huge.

Something needs to be done.

You weenie (can I say weenie here?), those bees are just minding their own business. Let them bee. :D

You weenie (can I say weenine here?), those bees are just minding their own beesness. Let them bee. :D



:)

I actually agree that the bees should stay - they haven't bothered me - the hole could be known as the bee hive hole. Those in the know will be sure not to hit that tree - treat it like a hazard.

My bet, however, is that city will take them out because (bee-cause?) of liability concerns.

To get rid of bees all you need is baby powder. Bees will suficate because of it. Just sprinkle the powder on the bees and because the bees body is so wet, the powder will stick to the body and kill it.

Now experts will tell you that this does not work, but I got rid of a hive near my home with a bottle from the store, it worked.

Cornmeal works on getting rid of those pesky little sugar ants also.

I would not get near them!! there are thousands of them!!

Friday night MINI: Edman will run a mini this friday night teeing off at 5:30


need to check these to ensure they are right:
Directions from Wilco to kat Hollow:

I'll need to check but I think Great Oaks goes straight through to 620. If that is the case then once on Great Oaks turn left on Oconnor then left on Liberty Walk and hole 1 is on right.

hey larry
i saw your pardner dale at wilco and he said they had stung him good and he knows of two other people that had been hit. to sprinkle powder on these things you better be encased in glass. they were so stired up the other day it looked like heat vapors comming off that tree

After checking again you do have to temporarily get off Great oaks and then back on. Follow the written directions but stay on Great Oaks to O'connor then Liberty Walk and you are there.

mini tonight at 5:30

and 10:00am saturday.

Good times tonight,thanks to all 18 that showed.
No ace hit, $20 carry over next friday.
9 pros-.Matt B54, Turbo 55, Alex G. & J. Torres 56
9 ams&-Waterboy & Todd G. 60, Smitty & J.Hovey 63
I will have plastic next week for the Ams.

Maybe next week I had to hang out with the plumber until 9 and $200 laters I got water again :mad:

oops!!!

oops he says

everybody at lago or anyone want to get a round in shortly-- give me a buzz 936.552.6769

everyone was at lago well at least 37 of us. 12 Open where were you?

hada couple of things to do-- figured I'd let someone else win

thanks :D but I think you would have had your hands FULL

what cause you won w/ my average round

you mean your best round remember there is only 18 holes and the record is -11 and last time I checked I am pretty sure you don't hold it!!! :D:p

update on Wilco there is a mando sign on hole # 6 and now # 3, #,4, # 6 and # 10 all have INT / rec tee boxes and the bees are still on # 18... :D

What is PAR out there? JP

I would say 55 only one par 4 hole # 10 I am guessing though

by design.....par is 61 :D

Who's playing the mini tomorrow??

Hey Vinnie I was wondering if you would pick me up 4 of the black Star Wraith's? I'll pay you for them when you get back.

I have plenty of those black star wraths with the big star stamp. Will be at the TX10 next weekend.

Thanks! I'll take a few off your hands.

Is there a mini this today?

yes 5:30 look for edman

It's on like a hot #$*&$! donkey cong.
I will be sending groups out at 5:15 today, hopefully we can all start on #1.
$7 to play, $5 payout, $1 ace, $1 course.
$20 ace pot from last week, #12 is going down today.

Are there pics of this course (or Cat Hollow) online anywhere?

looks like rolling meadows w/o water

cat hollow map (http://site.iwebcenters.com/brushycreekmud_1/_fileCabinet/discgolfmap.pdf)

Is there a schedule in place to install concrete boxes at Wilco. The course has been open maybe six weeks and already the tee boxes are turning to s%$t. The rapid degradation of the boxes means lots of people have been playing so the county should be pleasantly surprised with the money already generated. Is there someone with the county I can call or email, or a workday I could help with to get real tee boxes installed in ONE course around Austin other than Zilker. It still blows my mind that everywhere I travel too concrete boxes are pretty standard, but in Austin the tee box remains the worst place to throw from on each and every hole.
