Darren Romo, a local disc golfer is giving a 1996 green Ford Taurus away on Saturday January 13, 2007. He wants to do a CTP from one of the blue tees out at Crowley after the the mini on Saturday. He is charging $10.00 a throw and you can sign up as many times as you want to prior to the first disc thrown. Your money is unrefundable. I believe that if there is enough interest there will also be 2nd and 3rd place package as well. He will hand you the keys and sign the title over to the winner on that day.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to get a car for $10.00.

hummm, might be worth the drive over there

hmmm....does it run? :D
and why not donate it to a regional area to give away at a tourney

The name, Danny Romo, does not sound familiar. So, he probably does not play tournaments. That is just a guess, Vinnie. However, the winner might donate it to either a tourny or a local charity. Who knows? If it is not raining, it might be worth attending to find out what happens. It would be interesting to find out the rest of the story. If enough people pay to throw, he could end up with a decent amount for the car. Then, the winner could turn around and donate it to a charity that would give a nice tax write-off.
Brice, will this be after the mini? For those that don't make it out, let us know the results. This is interesting. Could lead to a good idea for tournament CTP.

"... also be 2nd and 3rd place package as well. He will hand you the keys and sign the title over to the winner on that day."
So, first place gets the car, 2nd place gets the keys, and 3rd place gets the title? :D

I agree with Vinnie. This needs to be done @ something better than a mini. Why not do it @ the Play It Again Sports Open?

do it this weekend at the PIO along with the $2000 ace pot.. SWEET

Wow - fun!
If the old Exploder makes it that far may try a few tosses!
What tme is the mini?
Was going to try to make it to Cedar Hill for my first look on the way to PIO but this might be worth the detour!
See ya there!

on the way to PIO

the car give away is the following weekend.

If it was a 5 speed S.H.O. Tarus I would be all over it !

Darren said he wants to do it on the 13th of January after the mini. I don't think he wants to wait much longer to give it away.

Love the SHO!
(had a 1st Gen. for many years...my brother still has a mint '89 he uses on weekends)

who could use a car for $10.00

Ok, a few questions before I waste time driving out there.

#1 What is the milage.

#2 has it been wrecked

#3 what condition is it in.

#4 model ???

#5 Engine ??

Basicly detals you would find in a classified add.

It could be worth anywhere from $500 to $8000 depending on these answers

Let me add one more to Pizza's questions. Approx how long will the CTP throw be? Kinda figure its gonna be half distance comp.

I agree with Vinnie. This needs to be done @ something better than a mini. Why not do it @ the Play It Again Sports Open?



Not to get of track. But when this wonderful tounrey????

Darren is going to have flyers put out at some of the local courses. He will also have a handful of flyers to pass out this weekend at the PIO.

Does it really matter.....it's a car for $10.00

The car has 165,615 miles on it. But you can add a few more miles, because it does run and I will drive it to the course on the day of the giveaway. Also it is a 4 door, automatic, power windows, power locks.It runs but does need some minor work. It was in a minor wreck. It is still in fair cond. It has a V6 engine. 1996 Ford Taurus GL

I will be at the course at 9:30am on Sat. 01-13-07 to take sign ups. The mini starts at 10am. My CTP contest won't take place until after the mini around 1pm. The CTP hole will be from the blue tee box on hole # 20. I don't know the distance, but my 12 year son can throw past the basket, if that gives anyone any ideas of how long the hole is. Also only one person may throw at a time, and the next person won't be able to throw until the previous person's disc have been measured and picked up.

No matter the condition of the car, no matter whether it be at a Crowley mini or a large sanctioned tournament. I think it is nice of Darren to sell his car in this manner. It is a great idea.

Thanks for the support. When I decided to do this I wasn't thinking about a mini, or some big tourney. I love to play this game and I just thought this would be a fun way to sell my car. When I started telling everyone about it everyone liked the idea. I even had someone offer me 500 dollars for my car without seeing it and I turned him down and said that would take the fun out of it. :cool:

:o

For those of you who havn't played the new layout at Crowley. This would be a great opportunity to do so.

Very cool...Darren you are the man!

"... also be 2nd and 3rd place package as well. He will hand you the keys and sign the title over to the winner on that day."
So, first place gets the car, 2nd place gets the keys, and 3rd place gets the title? :D

Right now not knowing how well this is gonna turn out, I am for sure gonna have atleast 2 payouts to start. 1st place is the car. 2nd place will be atleast 50 dollars worth of new disc. If I do better than I'm expecting, than I will add more payouts. Maybe changeing 2nd place payout to a cash amount and a 3rd place payout in new disc. We'll just have to wait and see how many people come out and play.

I said to my wife today 'Next saturday the 13th, I am going..."NO YOUR NOT"

Golf is out next saturday for me. My son has a science fair that day.

Maybe if it is in the morning, I will try to make it out for the CTP in the afternoon.

As of right now the forcast is 60% chance of rain.

As a TD, I actually like to see that, it means it may not rain. :D

well Brian I hope you can make it out....I personally have never seen you out at Crowley before.

i have only played out there 2 times.

once when it first was instaled and was 9 holes

Then right after the back 9 were installed.

it is quite a drive from Carrollton to get over there.

well the next time you come out it will be a totally different than you have seen before. Feel free to call me anytime you plan on heading out this way. I will be more than happy tyo show you around.

The weather forecast is calling for a chance of rain this weekend, but don't let that scare you away. Rain or shine its still gonna be a fun day :D Remember its from the short tee box by the parking lot I will be giving the car away. Hole #20 blue tee.. :) 10 dollars for a chance to win a car. :oSomeone's gonna win, remember you don't have to ace, you just have to be the closest... :D

just a couple of days away now

JUST ONE MORE DAY NOW

Good Luck Mr. B!

JUST ONE MORE DAY NOW

That's right, one more day. Remember everyone the ctp is gonna take place on hole # 20. Thats right in front of the parking lot. I hope the rain will hold off tomorrow, but if not, hey its a car people for ten dollars. You can wait in your ride in parking lot and wait your turn if you wish. :D

I hope this works out ! Best of luck Darren.
What happend if you win the CTP?

:DNot this car.

I hope this works out ! Best of luck Darren.
What happend if you win the CTP?

I've talked to a few friends and everyone thinks I shouldn't try to win my own ctp and I agree. So I will not be making any throws myself. I've also had some friends say I should hold off for better weather. But I am a man of my word and I said I would give this car away tomorrow and rain, sleet, snow, or hopefully shine, this ctp contest will still go on. I know the weather is gonna hurt my funds, but you never know. Like I said before its a car for ten dollars. I think no matter what the weather is it would be worth someone tryin for. And with the weather if fewer people show up, that will increase the odds for the ones that do still come out. Remember you can sit in your ride in front of the ctp hole and see the throws and wait for your turn. And myself, I hope to see a good turnout tomorrow.

hell you should still throw and park it than give it the second closest :D:p

hell you should still throw and park it than give it the second closest :D:p

Well I am planning on payin 2 spots /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif I thought about maybe still throwing and just put myself in the running for my 2nd place prize of new disc {50 dollars worth}. But Im not, that away when only 2 people show up tomorrow they don't half to worry about me beating them. :D

JUST ONE MORE DAY NOW

Forecast looks like it may be rainy, better grab the DX Plastic :D

TODAY IS THE DAY....DON'T LET THE WEATHER STOP YOU FROM WINNING A CAR FOR $10.00. THE MINI WILL START AT 10:00 IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED.

It's finally here, the day someone is gonna win a car for only 10 dollars. Cold wet weather, bad for me, good for the one's that still come out. I know this weather is gonna keep some people from coming out but that will only increase the odds of winning for the one's that do come out. So if you were thinking about coming out but decided not to because of other compition, this weather will eliminate some of your compition and increase your odds of winning ! Car giveaway today around 1pm maybe a little sooner if we get a break from weather. So come out to Bicentennial Park in Crowley Texas and give it a try. Remember 10 dollars a throw, you may buy as many throws as you want before the first person makes the first throw. The CTP hole #20 is located right in front of the parking lot for everyone to see while waiting in their ride if they wish until it's their turn. So don't let this weather keep you from coming out and winning a car for 10 dollars. I am fixin to go to course myself to start sign-ups, hope to see everyone soon.

Good Luck Darren! Sounds like a lot of fun. Great idea that will only be copied by others.

Shawn Robertson is having a good year so far. 2nd place at the Poison Ivy Open and now he wins a car.

Way to go Shawn

AND he won the Crowley Mace event!! WTG Shawn YOU deserve it!!!

How many entry's did you get ?

How many entry's did you get ?

I had 7 people show up. I wanna think the one's that showed up and delt with the cold wet weather. And congratulate Shawn Robertson on winning the car with a CTP throw of 57 inches. Maybe I will do this again another day, with another car, on a hopefully better warmer day. :DThanks, again to the ones that came out.

Dang, if it were not for the weather, I could have made it out there. I got called in and have been working all day. I kinda overslept my son's science fair this morning. I showed up as my wife was pulling out of the parking lot

So, how many throws did it take shawn to win the car? :D

so is Shawn driving this car he won?

so is Shawn driving this car he won?



I was at Crowley last Tuesday for the mini and Shawn did pull up in his newly won ctp car. When we were ready to leave, it wouldn't start because it was out of gas. He had only put 0.60 cents in to come to play...it was truly something only Shawn would do!!! :D:D

now thats funny .60 cents I bet the gas attendent got a good laugh
