Hello Fellow Disc Golfers

On September 30, 2006

I will be hosting the Dunn Memorial Java Classic in McKinney, TX. This event will be a non-sanctioned event on a newly designed temp course with 2 rounds of 18 (possibly 21). The course will offer lots of OB rope, island holes and we are even doing a USDGC stlye hole with a fence around the basket. We will have lots of raffle items, CTP's both rounds and we will be giving away 2 baskets as well.

There is Friday night doubles at the course $10 AM and $15 Pro.

Registration at the course Friday night and Saturday morning until 8:15am sharp!!

I am currently working on getting this on Title Disc (http://www.titledisc.com) to help provide convienence to those that like to register early. This promises to be a fun and unique event, so I hope to see you all there. Nothing on the Texas calander that weekend, so come on out!!

Registration is currently online at Title Disc (http://www.titledisc.com) for the Dunn Memorial Java Classic. The event will be a non-sanctioned event held on September 30th in McKinney, TX!!

Can't wait to see this piece of land Shaine. If the Twisted Flyer Open moves to Tulsa, I may make this one instead.

I did see the flyer up at McKinney so I am sure the turnout will be great for this.

Just got word from Zone Driven that they are going to sponsor some cool CTP and raffle items as well. Chris Himing has also donated some cool full color discs for giveaways. In addition, I have an '03 Candy USDGC roc to giveaway as well as an unthrown CE Firebird. This is shaping up to be a great event. Hope to see lots of familiar and new faces.

I was able to get out and do some mowing and tree trimming this past weekend. Mowed fairways for all of the holes and hit the greens with a nice low cut. The course is really shaping up to look great. We got out on Monday and played the course and it will provide everyone with a really nice challenge. Hope the weather is nice for the 30th!!

On Saturday September 23 we are going to open the Harmony Hills temp course that will be used for the Dunn Memorial Java Classic. Everyone that is interested will have the opportunity to come out and play the course that day. We will have registration for the event on the 30th on site and we hope to see you all there.

Also, thanks to a generous donor the ace pot for this event will now start at $200 instead of $100. PM me with any additional questions.

Remember, online registration is available at www.titledisc.com (http://www.titledisc.com) [url=http://www.titledisc.com]/url]

Just got word today that I have received 2 Fossil Chronograph watches for the tournament. We will be either giving these away as drawing items or CTP items. This event just keeps getting better and better!!!

Just wanted to say thanks to Circular Productions for the sponsorship package!! Hope to see you all this weekend and the follwing for a great event!!

"The course will offer lots of OB rope"

Oh joy. Just what I need after MJCO. :(

Giles,

We are going to have at least 4 holes with roped off fairways. Will we have two holes with mandatory islands and a hole with a fence guarding the green. Hole 17 will have an island in front of the green that will be out of bounds and the pond that sits in the middle of holes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 will be out of bounds. The course is set to play to the strength of executing good shots. I shot even in the rain a few weeks ago and that was after shooting -5 on the front 9. I ran out of gas on the back nine.

I will provide everyone with a caddie book out lining each hole. Are you planning on coming out this Saturday for the sneak peak?

Don't know. I may work to insure that I get the following weekend off. The Cedar Hill ace race is also next weekend. If I don't work I'll deffinatly make it out in the morning. What time are you open for buisness?

We will get out there around 9am and will be out until 5pm-ish. i received your entry so you are set for the 30th. thanks!!

i want to check it out, and im going to try my best to play, if not ill be there to assist for sure.

Don't know. I may work to insure that I get the following weekend off. The Cedar Hill ace race is also next weekend. If I don't work I'll deffinatly make it out in the morning. What time are you open for buisness?



The Cedar Hill race race is this weekend, not next

Adam,

Would you be availabe tomorrow night for me to come pick up your bucket. I think that may help simplify my week a little better. I feel like a chicken with no head right now. Moving in 50 directions at once.

This is my official shout out to all disc golf TD's; you have my mad respect, yo!!

Hope to see lot's of new and old faces ay the Dunn Memorial Disc Golf Classic!!

Maybe you will have 200 players show up

Now you know why I put sleeves in for the 6 added holes in Carrollton.

That would be awesome, but I would probably go insne with that many people. I do not know how you do it man. Maybe one day this event will reach that magnitude, but not yet.

Will you have those buckets pulled by tomorrow. I would like to pick them up when I go to get Adam's if possible. Let me know. Thanks!!

Yea,,,, thanks, that is what I ment, just not what I typed. I should give up on forums and stick with disc golf...

Yea, I am going to pick them up tomorrow afternoon. I have an appointment in the morning. The other three are in my truck right now.

Did you get some sort of stands for them??? I asked Dirk Snow to find them and have not heard back from him yet. I could make some phone calls this week and track them down if needed.

You can count on my 2 buckets Shaine...1 good...one portable Ching, but it beats throwing at trees :D

Giles - you can probably make this "sneak peak" and CH at 2-3 for the ace race

Bryan,

That sounds great. I get off of work at 8pm and will be going over to pick up Adam's basket after that. I will swing by your place first and then head his way. Will 8:30pm tomorrow night work out ok?

Will 8:30pm tomorrow night work out ok?


That would be perfect. I will just leave the baskets in the back of my truck.

I might show up and help out, if not play on the 30th. Depends on what my wife says :o

4 weekends in a row of disc golf is pushing it. I might have my kid in tow.

Bryan,

That would be perfect!! The more the better. I am hoping to offer a JR division. Does your kiddo play DG? I do have one question for you. I am confused on the payout % breakdowns. Is there a downloadable chart somewhere that will line that out for me?

You could use the PDGA chart, located in the TD area of this web site, or email Gary Duke and he has a tournament scoring program that can do it for you. If you can have a computer at the course, this is the best way to do it.

Hello all,

i know there are lots of you heading down to LIVE OAK!! this weekend, but for those that are not come on out and play a great course we are setting up for next weenend. The course is only temporary for now, but the more visitors we get the better it looks. Course opens at 9am and we will play golf until 5pm. Oh, and no alcohol on the course please. Thanks!!

Directions are at the beginning of this thread.

Shane, will the course be open for a casual round on the 30th (like durring lunch) Is there a greens fee. I may not be able to play the tournament, but I would like to show up and play a round that day.

heard a lot of good things about it.

talk of 10s and 12s

saw it, but didnt get to play.

if i cant play the event, i want to play a lunch round that day.

but i hope to play

Thanks to all that made it out this weekend. Yes, I will allow some casual play that morning before the event and then again at lunch. There will not be a green fee.

As far as the 12 and 10 those were both on the island holes. I plan on opening those up a little more. a 25ft ring around the basket is just too small. I took an 8 myself on 16 and that was after missing twice from the drop zone.

I got lots of great feedback and everyone seemed to really enjoy the day. Sunny and 79 on Saturday, so this weekend will be great as well. Hope to see you all there.

So should we plan on brining some extra discs for those holes? Water???

No, the islands are made of irrigation fencing. They all both on land. The pond is a 2 acre tank and it is bone try, but we will play in as if it were full. I will put up an ob line around the base of the pond.

The ace pot for this event is now starting at $250 thanks to a generous donor.

for all those that are still interested in registering online for the event, titledisc will close Thursday night. After that you can either register on Friday from 1-8pm or Saturday morning from 7 - 8:30am or until we are full. We will cut off entries at 90 players.

How many are signed up?

I have about 15 signed up right now. I am expecting between 40 and 75 for the event. There have been several that are signing up Friday at Doubles and then I know most will register the day of as usual.

Are doubles going to be $15 a team or person

Doubles is $10 per perosn for AM's and $15 per person for pros. We will open up about 12pm Friday and doubles will have a flex start between 3pm - 6pm. If you want to play the course before that to get familiar with it that is cool too. No green fees.

I just paid for Sat. with Titledisc and I believe Ron and I will be there around 5:30 Tomorrow for doubles.

See you guys then.

dang, I wish I could have come out tomorrow, but I just have too many things I need to do this weekend. Got to keep the ball and chain happy

This is one of the coolest, most fun courses I've ever played. I recommend everyone who can make it, do so. You don't know how awesome of a course you'll be missing.

scores?

well, how did it go????

It was a great tournament and course. Everyone must play this event next year.

Ron S wins open

I agree with TeamUDGP. Shaine did a great job putting this together. Lunch provided, plenty of cold water and soft drinks, nice payout, $300 ace pot, fossil watches for CTP's, ring of fire and a raffle. Too bad the turn out wasn't quite what was expected. Other than a couple of comments about holes 9, 10 and 16, the players had great things to say about the course. Good shots were rewarded, bad shots resulted in a throw from the drop zone :eek:

I would mention who won some of the divisions, but i didn't know many of the players. Rob Dawson had the hot round from the shorts (-6), Ron Silliman (-5) from the longs.

Hopefully, Shaine will have this event again next year.

Wow! What a great day!! I am exhausted, but I have never had so much fun running and playing in an event in all my life. We only had 29, but it was perfect. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and the weather was great.

My favorite two stories of the weekend are as follows:

1st, on Friday afternoon I got a call from a player who was interested in playing, but was financially unable to do so. In the spirit of the church and what we were doing several guys pulled together and covered his entry fee. About 10 minutes before the event started someone came up and covered his ace pot entry. No one hit the $400 ace pot during the tournament so we threw off for it after the event. We paid out $200 for 1st, $125 for 2nd and $75 for third. The player, who played rec, stepped up and parked it about 3ft from the pin. He ended up taking $125 home that day. He expressed to me after the event that it could not have happened at a better time. i told him God provide for those in need and he did Saturday afternoon!!

2nd, after the event we had only tallied $208 for the charity, which was great, but was $292 short of our goal. After the awards we had a throw off and drawing for 2 baskets and some cool collectors discs. We ended up raising exactly $500 for the event. How cool is that.

I will post scores tomorrow. I do not have internet access at home, so I have to do it from work.

Rob Dawson had the hot round from the shorts (-6)



You forgot to mention what he shot from the longs :D

Sorry for the delay in getting results up. i was out sick yesterday. I guess the long days and nights over the weekend ran me down.

I want to say thank you to all those that helped make this such a great event: Dunn Memorial Baptist Church, Brian Lacy, Mario Flores, Zone Driven, Circular Productions, Journeys, Charlie, Ron Silliman, Kevin Wiemann, Donald Ellsworth, everyone that loaned me their baskets, and all that came out to support the event. Next year will be bigger and better!!
