Hello, my name is Christin Jackson. My husband Zane and I purchased the TX10. We are the only owners, we have no other partners involved as far what has been said by anyone. We will be caliing it The Texas Disc Golf Charity Tour. I will be running next years tournaments with out him due to him being overseas. I already have great supporters behind me to help with these events. I am currently working on next years schedule. So far everything is going well. I'm looking foward to next year! Hope everyone has a great Christmas and I look foward to seeing everyone next year. Christin :)

Us Live Oakers are ready to support your effort by attending your Texas Disc Golf Charity Tournements when possible :o:D/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D

I got you guys covered Chinger!!

Any idea on the schedule for next year yet?

that's what i am currently working on. is there someplace that you had in mind that you would like to see an event?

Lake course in Lewisville would be good since there isn't a PDGA event there this year as far as I know

I would play almost any park in the DFW area. One thing that would be nice to see is more one day sanctioned tournaments.

awesome...I'll look into that

Gonzales, Victoria, Live Oak, Kyle and maybe just maybe Temple :D

YES.

sanctioned tournaments would really be nice :D

How bout Corpus Christi and/or Victoria???

Oh by the way great to see a tournament that supports VETS I am a VET and more than willing to give my money to this charity! Can�t wait to see what you come up for the 2007 season!

Kenney is no longer part of the Charity. My husband and I are the only owners of the charity. Our Charity will be for St. Judes. I will not go into detail about what happened with Kenney. If you have any question for me you can email me at astrbz3@yahoo.com or you can call me at 254-931-7344 Thanks Chrisitn

Gonzales, Victoria, Live Oak, Kyle and maybe just maybe Temple :D



I second Gonzalez and Kyle --- the Gonzo course is a remarkabley fun course that could use the additional exposure...it's well worth the road trip just to enjoy the grilled whole wild hog that the locals have cooked up for our enjoyment the last two events.

Kyle is a GREAT new course that does not have a tournament --- but I bet that you could pull a lot of Austin, San Marcos, and San Antonio players to fill it.

I was not aware of the joint ownership. Just as well St. Jude is also a great charity to support! :)

I am sure Chris or Gary Duke could provide you with the #'s from the past years to show what courses pulled the largest fields in the past to give you a good idea on what events may have larger turnout than others.

New courses around the state should also be looked at to provide exposure for your tour and the new course.

Thanks for taking over the tour!

Manor might be open by next year.

wilco, round rock :D

Thanks for all the info. You guys are a big help. Let me know if there is anything that you guys want as far as merch. Is the certain plastic, clothes...ect Thanks again Christin :)

Do you have Twisted Flyer on board for merchandise this year?

Circle C
Lake Lewisville
Manor "if there is such a course"
Kyle
Gonzales
Crowley
Oak Meadows Place
Abilene
Tyler
Temple
-there you go that would civer the entire state

Cedar Hill!!

I based that list on courses that currently do not have sanctioned events taking place-why play the same courses that you do at sanctioned tournaments?

LIVE OAK! YO!

Barry Schultz give's it a thumb's UP!

Trying to limit courses to 2 big events a year is probably a good thing.

If this years Charity events pull similar #'s as in the past you need 2 courses to play on. Even though Crowley has 20 holes that will still only hold 100 players on 5 man cards

crowley/zboaz
cedar hill
circle C/searight
Tom Bass
Carollton
Round Rock/Wilco
lake Lewisville/LL Woods
Pecan park/Pioneer Park-Nacogdoches,tx
Temple

I will put my two cents in, Tyler Blue/Red are two courses side by side. The biggest problem is the drive, but since these are one day events generally anyone in Dallas can drive over in the morning and out be evening. One upside, is one in East Texas is more likely to draw from Nac, Longview, Shreveport, Athens and of course Tyler.

I noticed a lot of people want to play a tournament out at the new course in Kyle. I've been working with the univ. in San Marcos to get the course there up to tournament standards. We have just lost three holes, but replaced them with new ones, so we still have 19 playable! We will be getting new tee boxes and tee signs soon! These two courses are very close to one another and would draw a lot of central texas players. You could even split the pros and ams up between the courses and play multiple rounds at each course b/c Kyle has dual cement pads longs and shorts and San Marcos has forwards and backwards layouts that are both challenging.

tyler was on my first post,forgot to put it on this one but of course add Tyler-2 quality courses side by side.-and make the Tyler stop a southern nationals qualifier since there isnt too many in TX for some reason.

Southern National affiliation would be excellent.
You would benefit the foundation if all the events were sndg qualifiers. I would play a lot more southern national events if there were more in Texas!

wilco, round rock :D



Hell yea :D

Just think...you would draw Austin, San Marcos, San Antonio, and every other sintex golfer if a tourney was held at Kyle....plus, there hasn't been a tourney there yet. I'm not sure if the Parks n Rec dept would charge a fee, but it seems like they are willing to work with the disc golf community (especially if there is a charity factor). I'm not sure about San Marcos...will the university allow a tourney to be held, logistically speaking?

wilco, RR would be great.
Cedar Hill is a perfect spot.
Crowley/Z-Boaz would be good too.

Z-Boaz allready has an A-tier, lets not play the same course over and over again!

Christin:

So are these tournaments planed to be sanctioned?

If this years Charity events pull similar #'s as in the past you need 2 courses to play on. Even though Crowley has 20 holes that will still only hold 100 players on 5 man cards



Crowley does have a 20 hole course and has alot of extra room to put in temporary holes in case a larger tournament came through. I could easily have a 30 hole course created with temporary baskets.

I personally would love to see the Texas Disc Golf Charity tour come to Crowley. It would be a fun tourny.

Crowley also has at least 3 different tee pads on every hole. The white course and the Red course are raelly two different courses. We also have the easier blue course if juniors wanted to play.

NO CROWLEY!! I haven't played the new layout, but I hear it sucks.

YOU HEARD WRONG!

YOU HEARD WRONG!



I have great reason to believe the guys that told me.

I really don't care, I wouldn't drive down to play it anyway.

Rowlett has 2 courses you can use

Never played Rowlett. But I heard they suck! :eek:

I drive 45 minutes to play Crowley.

Never played Rowlett. But I heard they suck! :eek:



Yeah, it was joke.

I drive 45 minutes to play Crowley.



Crowley "was" one of my favorite courses. I'll have to play it and judge for myself, but since I live in the middle of nowhere now, it might be a while.

Just joking.:D I live in North Arlington, Rowlett is far from me but I will probably check them out as well.

NOOOOO! Never go there! It's really, really bad. Thats if it's not underwater

I should see if we can redesign that course, the back 9 that was put in a few years back was pretty good, and the front 9 could be tweaked. It would still be in a flood plain and require consistent mowing, but it could be a flat but interesting course.

NO CROWLEY!! I haven't played the new layout, but I hear it sucks.



What bad things did you hear about Crowley....If you let me know then maybe we could change some things up.

Yes you can host tournaments on the univ. campus in San Marcos. We've had sactioned events there in the past. The last one was the San Marcos Open, I think Alex Downs won it, but I don't remember I wasn't there for it.

Another two great courses not too far away from one another are Universal City and the new BRIAN MCCLAIN DISC GOLF COURSE (http://www.wolfriders.com/). A tournament at these two courses would make for a pretty good weekend.

Temple is also going to be a great place for two 18 hole courses within close proximity.

I'd like to maybe see some stuff in Waco or even that course in south Waco, Woodway park.

I'll have a complete schedule up on the board for you guys in the next couple of days. I have a few more things to get done and I'll have it for you guys. :)

I sure hope that there ia at least one event in H-town this year(we have been left out since 03). I would have to vote for Tom Bass.

Christin:

So are these tournaments planed to be sanctioned?



BUMP!

I'd like to maybe see some stuff in Waco or even that course in south Waco, Woodway park.



Woodway is a neat park. The juniper trees are awesome, but there are a couple of baskets out there that would require some attention. If you have ever played that course, you know what I am talking about ........

All I remember from Woodway was the icy cold wind blowing about 30 mph over the banks of the river.

Fantastic view out at woodway park overlooking that lake. The course is actually not that "easy." The wind described just before hand makes some of those low tunnel shots harder than they look. I tend to remember there being O.B. very close to a number of holes. I also remember the triangle/upside down pyramid thingy that was spray painted and placed where a basket should have been. That was some funny stuff, and probably one of the most ghetto repair jobs I've ever seen on a disc golf course, and I've seen a lot, even made a few myself, but nothing that bad. :DHa! Ha! Ha! :D

I remember Woodway....my first ever poison ivy rash, 4 foot high grass, and yes, Round Rock caliber winds! Maybe they maintain it better these days?

Christin: Dont forget Temple and Waco :cool:.
Holla if ya need anything.

The winter months are the best time to hold a tournament out at the course in KYLE. That place is crawling with poison oak and poison ivy otherwise. :mad: Thankfully I'm not allergic to either! :D

Christin: Dont forget Temple and Waco :cool:.
Holla if ya need anything.



I dont think she knows where Temple is :o:D

It looks like Christin will be kicking off a good tour this comming year. With all the help she is getting from the players and other TD in texas. I hope that everyone enjoys themself's out on the course that she has set up. I just wished I could be there to see her first year as a TD and haveing her own tour. I'll see everyone when I get home and we can play some golf. Have fun!!! :D :p :D

She is going to do great Zane,
We will be behind her every step of the way and give her all the support she needs.
Hope to see you soon.
Wait till you see the new Lions course :D

With the guys from the Temple scene and the support of a few people this tour should go off fine.

I'd worry about this Joey guy though, he enjoys playing way too much to ever be taken seriously ;). Are you sure he's old enough to play Masters???????? :D

Miss playing tourneys with you Joey, you're always great to have on the card. Hopefully I'll age quicker and we can play a round together soon :cool:.

Good to hear from you Jason.
Hope all is going well.
Been very busy here in Temple. Hopefully next year I will be able to play some more tournaments.
See Ya.

Christin - If you bought the Texas 10 series name from Himing, then why wouldn't you want to capitalize on the 6+ years of brand-name recognition? The Texas 10 had a huge following of supporters which it seems like you'd be able to tap right into by keeping the same name. Isn't that the whole point about buying the Texas 10 series?

Any word on a schedule yet?

She is finalizing the courses with the TD's now. I would expect her to announce the schedule within a couple of weeks.


Any word on a schedule yet?

gee, I guess that means one of the stops is in Tyler? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Would you like to know the date? :p ;)


gee, I guess that means one of the stops is in Tyler? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

wilco again /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Lewisville for sure.

But not Carrollton.

How about Dallas????

Cedar Hill???

Anything within 3 hours of H-town would be nice. :confused:

I have come to the decision that I will not be running any tournaments in 2007. Due to many things that have happened and things that are currently going on. I still have alot of cleaning up to do with what had happened in the purchase of the tour. I still have a lot of things to do and get for the tournaments and learn about the tournaments. The way that my school schedule is laid out. 3 saturdays of every month i will be busy with school. Plus being a single mother of 3 right now due to my husband being overseas. I want to make the tournaments the best that I can make them. I hope that you understand where I am coming from right now, if not I'm sorry. If you have any questions. You can call me at 254-931-7344 or email me at astrbz3@yahoo.com Thanks Christin

very sad news but understand.

Thanks for the info. Best wishes.

Good luck,
Take care,
We'll see you next year.

Good luck Christin. When Zane gets back from Iraq I am sure things will fall into place.

Tell those Temple boys to get out there to help you. :D

I look forward to seeing what you can do in 2008. Keep learning and planning and you will do fine.

The Temple support is definitely there! Congrats on the purchase Christin we're all looking forward to next year. Joey, Rocco and the rest of the TDGC are doing a fabulous job for a new club. Christin I am sure they will be a great resource for you as you move forward with you exciting new endeavor. I am sure I can speak for a lot of golfers...."we will be here to support you and the charity when you�re ready to roll". Lions Park gets a BIG thumbs up long-long holes, elevation, tunnel shots, woods, open fields, and a bit of water. Truly a sweet course and right up the street from the 5th street course. Y'all are lucky. THS class of 95' in the house! What's up HATE and the rest of the crew.

Keep up the great work Temple!

MH

welcome to the board Hazle... and well said!!! :D

Exactly...when I last was at Lions it was only 9 holes. It was a great fun course with plenty of variety. Hopefully a few of the holes we used for the TdeDG were used for the back 9. Good luck Temple. Not a bad DG place with 2 courses and also so close to Waco.

Hey Joey R, any news on that course up the road from your place in that nice park? ;) Is there going to be 3 in the Temple area?

From what I hear the Belton course near my house will probably go in late 07 or early 08. There is a lot of planning for the Belton City, the Corps of Engineers, and DOT due to the lake to lake road which will cut through the park.
We are not sure if it will be 9 or 18 holes yet.

Thank's everyone for supporting Temple.
Joey R
