We finish the Habitat house this weekend. I will b' dere!

Hey snowbirds, It should be about 80 degrees by then come on by and be the first on your block this year to get a sunburn!

32 degrees today ( I hope a few billion mosquitos died a horrible death last night) and 80 degrees in two weeks,
that's the Texas gulf coast.

Will there be any wind?

SN qualifier? Was Shawshank? If so did the results get turned in the the SN?

Shawshank was supposed to be but I don't see it up on the sndg site. :(

sure hope I get the points, don't want to start on the back nine again next year for the sn championship.

HUH? They put cards together by points?

yup.
for some reason I play better in snqualifier events. 6 for 6 with ave winnings around $200.00. And if you only have like 6 points u will be playing with some donators on hole #15 which is the tightest part of the course.

6 of 6 eh? I remember beating you at Shawshank. :D

I was 5 for 5 until that event and if it wasn't a SN then I guess we are both still perfect. :D

I'm actually gonna play in this. Is there a players list? Matt, tell your pops that I promise not to jump up to pro master this time if he'll come play with me. :D

I might be right there wit ya colonel. except I'm not moving down. I'm taking cash home... :D

Tell him he can run but he can't hide...

I will be visiting my brother this weekend and I'll be playing in this one :) See ya Saturday

Signed up ready to play! No rain :mad::eek: :D

BUMP

Good chance that I might be able to make this one too.

So...is it MG1 or MPG? :D

Doing MG1 due that being division w/someone signed up in :D

OK - I just signed up for MG1 for this weekend.

Let's just hope that the forecast for Port Arthur weather keeps improving. Hard to imagine that with weather like we are having today, that it's supposed to be so "iffy" for Saturday. We could use a break! :D

how far is this place from Houston?

Joe - from my neck of the woods (by 290 and 610) MapQuest shows it as 98 miles and 1hr56minutes away. It isn't too bad...a tad shorter than driving to either Austin or San Antonio. But I'm more interested in seeing how the place is coming back together after Rita. Good, Houck designed course too!!!! :D

Here's the MapQuest map that shows the cut-off you want to take off from I-10 to Port Arthur.

You might need to pan to the East a bit more and then zoom in to see the bridge taking you across to the island.

thanks for the info larry,thats a drive but I am sure it is worth it.Its looking like I may not have to work this weekend so i will just have to wait and see,work comes first.

You sure have been in Houston a lot lately...are you living here now?

inlaws :D

close enough for you to make it

Road trip!

Ready to roll, get through today :D

BUMP :eek:

SuperGirl wanted to attend this tournament. We have wanted to play in a Pleasure Island tournament for a couple of years now, but we always seem to have a schedule conflict. Unfortunately she has a schedule conflict this weekend too. She is competing in a soccer tournament in Austin this weekend.

Good luck everyone.........Rick

PS�..I once knew a girl who lived in Port Arthur (she lived in Port Neches too for a while). We met at a place called camp Sionito. We lost touch many, many years ago. Her name was Debbie Patrick and she was really something special. So Port Arthur will always have a special place in my heart.

PS�..I once knew a girl who lived in Port Arthur



Anyone else think we were seeing the start of a limerick here? :D

I once knew a girl from Port Arthur
She could hurl a frisbee much farther
All kiddin aside
Hers had lots of glide
So I decided to dump her for soccer.

:D

(Sorry Rick...I couldn't resist - but at least I kept it clean!)

Not gonna be able to make this one afterall. :(

Cold STAR pizza and hot Starbuck's for breakfast...YEAH BABY!! Harry, you'd better get to bed early, old man. haha

I went out to the park yesterday and threw a few drives. My wrist was buckling on me like a sumbitch. Looks like I'll be throwing a lot of flickers in the wind tomorrow. And...oh yes...there will be wind. :D

Wow, looks like there are three adv grands and only one adv master. If I turn out to be the only one, how 'bout you adv grandpas come down and play with me? I got no game no mo.

No game No mo, mo like no game ever :D

Whatever, Gomer. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I'll drop down if needed Colonel...don't think I've ever beaten you in a round, but if you're gimped up as bad as you say you are, then this might be my only chance! LoL!!! :D

See ya in PA in the AM.

That's awful nice of ya there, Mr. Lizard. Much nicer that that mean ol' Harry. Actually, your rating is one point higher that mine. :D

Mean? Why I oughta........Charlie get him :DI'll drop if the need arises :p

Whatever you guys do...don't look at the weather forecast!!!

:DThose f-f-f-forecasters are l-l-l-liars! :D

We can only hope :( :eek: :D

You guys should have headed to LO for their Ice Bowl, won't be raining in SA!

Wind and rain....perfect disc golf weather :D

Too bad that flask would be illegal. :o Perfect nipp'n weather.

At least there isn't any forecast for 30+ mh winds this time round.

yaaaa shuuur! what have you got when you play in sunny, dry, calm, so-cal perfect conditions??? NO EXCUSES! Everybody should throw 1000+ rated rounds, just like the Texas State champion Barry Shultz Another boring round in paradise..... But play in the cold and rain, throw in a little wind...bingo! 100 perfectly reasonable explanations for why you didn't, in fact, couldn't be expected to execute that 20 foot putt. Now that's a quality golf experience....besides, think of all the stories you have about all the horrific conditions you braved your way through. The comraderie you will have with your fellow sufferers, er, diehard dg warriors that builds into life-long friendships, The pneumonia that followed and your miraculous recovery...

Rare are the chances to have an epic tournament that you can lie, er...talk about for decades....This may be the oportunity of a lifetime! :cool::D :D

Harry, the "Hank's" Chicago style on whole wheat from Star is waiting for you in the back seat. You get to buy the coffee. :)

Bring it on! :D

We got pounded by rain all during the first round...it finally stopped during lunch and was replaced by a 15 MPH wind from the NE. But the sun came out the second round and everyone warmed up nicely! :D

Many thanks for the tourney Rick!

Sad to see how many trees the course lost to Rita, but there were still enough to make it challenging on many holes!

Big thanks goes out to our HUGE (0K - well 4 was large) MG1 field! ROMB card was great fun guys!

Are you sure? I remember evry hole except 1 or 2 being pretty easy to birdie. :confused:

Yeah...probably true Matt...I snagged 3 birdies in the second round and hit chains on 2 more. Wind was playing in a good direction for a lot of the longer ones too...

It looked like a few holes were a bit different now too (like they'd moved the tees or pins...#11 and #12 both looked like new holes...but I don't remember the course that well from before.)

Yeah the event last year had those same tees. There was only 1 hole over 500ft.

Big thanks goes out to our HUGE (0K - well 4 was large) MG1 field! ROMB card was great fun guys!



Ours was equally huge in the MM1 field. Was great fun!
Congrats on the win, Larry. :D

soggy, soggy, soggy

Thanks Neal! You get the same congrats! Second time playing in our new divisions for both of us, and both with wins! :D

I sure am glad I went - even with the cruddy weather on that first round. I didn't have a dry piece of clothing left! LoL :D

Thanks for the Tournament Rick ! I had a great time . Congrats Neal you played very good . :)

ok scores are up - again thanks to everyone that showed up & braved the first round -- congrats to boo, neal , larry, rufus, and high iron on the wins -- - next stop -- macgregor -- see everyone there --

No Open players? :confused:

None whatsoever :confused:

Congrats Larry....not the best conditions but your game was certainly on the second round :D

Thanks, Rick, Well run tourney, I'm wearing my shirt right now.

See y'all at McGregor! :p

yeah sorry about the confusion though -- didnt mean to bring so much rain & cold wind -- maybe next year i will bring the shorts & sandles weather

Does anyone know when and where the LSS Finals is going to be held? Or has it already happened and I missed it? :(
