OK so here it goes -- the pecan park open is coming this year -- 2 weeks after texas states -- it will be a b-tier event on the weekend of april 14th & 15th -- there will be a doubles event on friday --- lots of added prizes & cash -- gonna try to make this the best one yet -- -- as usual on my 2 day events -- will be 2 rounds on saturday on 1 round sunday morning with a monster 9 on sunday afternoon -- i would like to change things around a bit & make it just 3 rounds with the final being a skins match for the top 4 pros --- but i need sponsors to make this happen ---- i have already spoken with laquinta in nacogdoches & they are 4 miles from pecan park & have given us a rate of $59 a night up to 4 people in a room --(936-560-5453) they also have a free breakfast & do not charge extra for pets -- i will have prices up soon & will also be setting field limits for the pre part of this -- i am hoping to set a new record & have 200 people at this event -- lets see

Hey Rick, pencil the Funkytown Flyers Club in for a sponsorship... How much?

let me work on everything - i am putting together entry fees etc for this right now --- & i am also working on my LSS FINAL AT pecan park for labor day weekend -- any takers on that!!!!!!!!!! 2 days on a 3 day weekend -- as usual a MONSTER 9 will be involved --


ATTN: i do apologize i meant to type final at waco -- i was wanting round rock but i am going to hold my doubles final there -- & since there isnt much going on in waco this year i wanted to bring something up that way -- regarding the date of the event - i am willing to listen to the feedback so speak up soon -- i could also have my lss final on the 16th of june -- i figured a 2 day event would be better held on a 3 day weekend seems outlaws is every year on labor day weekend & that has a good turnout - that was thinking behind it -- however i also understand that is the only event & not a final --
so if vote now if you want it on may 26th/27th or june 16th/17th

36 holes available:
4-somes = 144
5-somes = 180

Good luck with getting to 200.

Bigger is not always better.

Second!

LSS FINAL AT pecan park for labor day weekend

What I thought the LSS finale was around RR and wilco?? also I think that labor day weekend is a bad idea. also rick can you please make the decision on the finale soon as this will detemine how many more events I will be playing. thanks

I second that-I'll be catching Redfish on labor day!!

and i thought it was going to Wilco/Rivery. :D

Too bad! I will be at Bowling Green, NT event.

I don't play on Holidays ;)
Family Time :cool:

can't do Holidays either! :(

is ths Pecan Park Open going to include Pioneer Park too?
sure hope so cause Pioneer rocks!!

it always has in the past,it would be boring if it were just pecan park.

It would sure be funny to watch Rick fit the 200 players he's hoping for on one course. You guys are rocket scientist, right? :D

cool, ive never been so i didnt know.
I just played these parks this past year and I'm looking forward to playing them again.

speaking of rocket scientist, you should change your diaper
:eek: :D

cool-if Rick changes the date I may see you there;if not I will be in your neck of the woods reeling in a 28 in. Redfish hopefully,not that I have ever caught 1 before;I have caught plenty of trout but not a single redfish yet. good luck if you go,just stay away from the pecan trees.

WOW, Your a real man. I'm impressed with the dribble that you manage to bang out on your keyboard.

And that smell... it's coming from your Depends. j/k

that smell was my game this weekend. n/k

1 parks name in the title made me wonder???

why not call it the Nacodoches Open or the Pacaneer Open

The PPO has always been the PPO because it started before Pioneer Park existed.

kinda, Pioneer park was there for the 1st PPO but was an object course; I remember because I started playing at SFA and had only been playing about 4 weeks before the 1st PPO-never will forget it.

let me work on everything - i am putting together entry fees etc for this right now --- & i am also working on my LSS FINAL AT pecan park for labor day weekend -- any takers on that!!!!!!!!!! 2 days on a 3 day weekend -- as usual a MONSTER 9 will be involved --

this is an LSS qualifier not the event final -- it is a B -tier 2 day event -- still working out some of the details & trying to contact the club up there as well -- i have already contacted the tri-delta girls regarding the caddy auction & maybe even doing something for us for lunch -- as a NOOB td i am not familar with the tradition of this event -- can i get some info on things that have been done that people might expect -- thanks

sweet- you have the tri-delts caddying. NICE best looking sorority girls on campus -hands down.If my caddy and I are looking for a disc longer than 10 minutes then go ahead give me a 7, that will be my last hole! :p :Dthanks for taking my mind off of business-now I have to come up with a plan on how I am going to get out of Nacogdoches if my caddy ends up being some chick I hooked up with.

Waco sounds like an excellent location. however, you might want to check with Joey. last I talked to him, he was planning the Charity Cup for sometime in the summer. But one can never play the Beast too often.

Funny story, I lived in Nacogdoches years back. The first time I tried to dip, I puked all over the back porch of the tri-delt house. I went back a couple of years back and the stain was still there ....... Priceless......

Beware, I remember hearing about 7-8 years ago that Nacogdoches had one of the highest AIDS rate per capita in the united states ........... Dont be a fool , wrap your tool!

I have heard that as well before I moved there so I came to Nacogdoches prepared, I better quite posting on this thread;if my girlfriend saw this she would be #$*&$!. :D

Traditionally, this has been 4 rounds of 18 (2 on each course), plus some kind of Final 9/6.

There isn't much room to put in extra holes on both courses, and the holes aren't hard or long enough for ghost cards.

Any talk of hotel deals???

First post of the thread

The American Music Fest
April 14, 2007
Downtown Nacogdoches


Headliners:
Ray Wylie Hubbard
The South Austin Jug Band


Americana Music Fest is a celebration of the various genres of music that are indigenous to the United States, including country, bluegrass, jazz, gospel and rock. Local, regional and nationally known acts will perform on two stages throughout the day. Aside from the musical performances, the Americana Festival also offers a juried art show and festival food. The downtown art galleries will also host an art walk and sale. But the live musical entertainment is the cornerstone of the festival.

Just thought to make everyone aware... if you plan on attending this event, one might want to reserve a room quick, as the above mentioned fest will bring in a few folks.

When will this tournament be on title disc for registration?

Am I the only one that is bummed that the format is going to change on this one. Why can we not play both courses two times again? Pretty expensive to go to Nach and only play 3 rounds :(

No, I feel the same way. There are two nice courses and plenty of daylight.

I'm in for the 4-round layout. The courses are pretty easy and play fairly quickly. So long as we start at 9 am at the latest on Sunday (don't have to worry about the time change this year), the rounds should be done easily by noon, second round at 1-1:30, done around 4:15, tally the scores by 5 and start the skins, be done by 5:45 with awards ready, and done by 6:30 with payout for Ams the only thing running after that. If that's too late for most people to get on the road, Sunday could always start at 8 am...most people are ready at that time anyway.

Four please....

4

Put my vote in for 4 rounds as well. That is a 4 hour drive for me and I want to get all of these two course that I can.

Did I miss where the T.D. set up a voting survey to get our input?

I think it was when he announced a format that the players didn't completely agree with ;)

It's always up to the TD, who should have the players' best interests in mind, but you should always consider your customers' likes and dislikes!

agreed.....and the tournament should be the customer of the player

"Tournament should be the customer of the player"

Vinnie the philosophizer. :D

as usual on my 2 day events -- will be 2 rounds on saturday on 1 round sunday morning with a monster 9 on sunday afternoon -- i would like to change things around a bit & make it just 3 rounds with the final being a skins match for the top 4 pros --- but i need sponsors to make this happen



What's up with the "monster final nine" obsession? If I go to a course, I want to play the actual course, not some made up nine that favors one type of player over another. Also, I'm not going to drive 4+ hrs to play three rounds of golf...it needs to be 4 18's (like it's always been) or you need to include EVERYONE (not just the pro's) who makes the cut in their division in the final nine. I prefer four 18s....this format allows the cream to rise to the top.

It's a TD obsession.... Something about the power to say, "play from here, and go to there"

I've paid for the room already, so I'm there... Can't wait to see those big Carya illinioensis that exist in the park.

Has anyone seen anything about a place to register for this event. I too have paid for my room and I would like to go ahead and register for the event, but haven't seen it on titledisc. The Team Disaster website still has last years dates. Are Gimp and Crew not running this one this year?

Rick Bannister / Fly-N-High DG is the new TD.

Count me in for 4 rounds !

Is this event still happening? Haven't heard anything about it really since the first post. Even at States this weekend, no one seemed to know if it was going to happen. Has anyone pre-reg'd? I noticed Fly-n-high's website does have that option. Since this one is 95% out of town players, unless there's some serious hype in the next few days, this one might flop big time. Lots of people are wanting to go but unsure what's going on.

Anyone??

here's the link to sign up for PPO

http://www.fly-n-high-discgolf.com/oscom...fbab2856f855f16 (http://www.fly-n-high-discgolf.com/oscommerce/catalog/index.php?cPath=22_35&osCsid=8396ad514a043e6aafbab 2856f855f16)

When are we going to know details?

Format? Timing? Info?

If I remember correctly, the TD was in player mode during the month of March. Hopefully, we'll see a post from him soon stating all the details.

Just give the lad another Monster Kaos and I'm sure the answers will follow shortly thereafter!

Is there a particular reason this event has not received any promo? What a great event and no info. I had to hunt to find registration info. I got registered and I am traveling with a few others (Kevin Wiemann and J.D. Ramirez), but no one seems to know anything. Sup?

Based on the www.flynhighdiscgolf.com (http://www.flynhighdiscgolf.com) website the tournament will be 4 rounds of 18. I hope we are able to pull off the quest for 200 players. It was sweet last year with the huge divisions we had.

Is there a way to sign up without using the website. I just tried to signup and noticed I was already logged in as someone else!

So much for web security...

When I went into register I had to create an ID and password. After I did that it went really smooth. Go into the site and click on events at the top of the page. After that look at the upper left hand side of the page and you will see a list. That list should have Pecan Park Open 2007. Click on that and then choose your division. If you are not a registered user then it will prompt you to register.

Problem is, I didn't create an account yet and my shopping cart was giving me Kevin Wiemann's address. :o

You may want to call Rick himself. I know Kevin talked to him this morning and then reigstered for the event. His contact info is on that sight and he answered his phone when Kevin called earlier.

Well I hope to get some more info pretty quick. I am planning on bringing my wife to play in her first tourney event. Take it easy on her ladies..

Rick (the TD) told Kevin this morning that he would be posting a players list soon.

A "players list", with what, three names on it. It's gonna be a small field.

obviously you've never played a PPO or else you wouldnt make such a comment but this tournament has always had good attendance.

Joe, he's played the PPO before.

The problem is the complete lack of info.

ok, everyone that I talked to at Red Rock Show and TX States said they were going;I hope it has a good turnout even though i am not going to be there due to work.Good luck Bender.

Well I hope to get some more info pretty quick. I am planning on bringing my wife to play in her first tourney event. Take it easy on her ladies..



A fun tournament, but too bad she can't make Texas Women's Championship her debut.
Given TWC is the next weekend, the ladies field will most likely be smaller than last year. Most girls are planning to make TWC instead. That event has a great field of ladies just like her, new to the whole experience. In past years, the Rec was our largest division. Bring her to Round Rock Apr 21-22 instead. :)

The problem is the complete lack of info.



I agree, I was planning on playing, but I haven't heard anything recently and am considering missing it even though I love the courses. Three rounds or four? Final nine? Who else is playing?

what division are you playing James

Tournament info PLEASE (to reiterate The Legend's request).

what division are you playing James



Open. I think that is what I've always played there. It's not too long of a course. :p

I don't guess the RR crew will be in attendance due to proposed course work?

Joe - check your facts dude... I don't mouth off unless it is founded on truth.

No hipe = low turnout...

Has anyone tried PM'ing Danger Bannister? I will do it if he hasn't already been spammed and is just choosing to not respond. I also want to go, but only if I can count on four full rounds.

looks like 3 rounds and a "safari 9"

Has anyone tried PM'ing Danger Bannister? I will do it if he hasn't already been spammed and is just choosing to not respond. I also want to go, but only if I can count on four full rounds.



I sent him PM, email and such a few days back without any response. And last I heard, he posted the three rounds with one of those interestly stupid long final nines. Has anyone actually been able to confirm he changed his mind and went back to four 18's???

Kevin Wiemann talked to Rick two days ago and Rick told him 4 rounds of 18 and no final 9.

Hence the request for the new tourny info (from the TD himself) to stimulate interest, to boost turnout, and ultimately maintian this tournament's amazing history!

I wanna Tri-Delt caddy please!

Just spoke to Rick a few minutes ago and everything is a go. 4 rounds of 18!!

Shaine,

Call him back and tell him to post on the Message Board!!!

Derek,

He was on the road when I talked to him, but said he would post full details tonight. I will leave it at that and allow him to provide info from here on out. Just trying to put a positive spin on things. :confused:

Thank you :cool:

I also heard 4 full rds. of 18 by a reliable source. All of u Austin golofers going shoot me a pm- turbo, john, and that legendary #1 master in the world

Anyone in Nacogdoches have some floor space or accomodations for an out-of-towner?

OK guys sorry for the delay -- i had to fix the little security issue on my site & it took a bit longer then expected this week -- i think everything is fixed now -- so i should be posting what little bit of a list i have already & if your not on it & you registered let me know -- -- OK NOW TO THE EVENT

pecan park will be FOUR rounds -- 2 on each course - i am going to cap the field at 144 no more ---
you need to preregister online or sign up on friday night -- saturday i will take signups from 7:30am until 8:00 am - players meeting at 9 -- if you sign up after 8:00 it will be an additional $10 charge & it will go to payout in your division -- - THERE WILL BE NO SIGNUPS TAKEN AFTER 8:45 in the morning -- -- lets see i would like to do a final 9 skins for the top 4 pro (Monster) if i can raise sponsorship money for the event -- i think at least $500 would do there -- any takers??? ok as far as caddying this year -- orginally the tri-delts said ok & now i am not getting my calls returned -- so maybe i can work on this again for next year -- but unless something changes in the next week i am not for sure -- -- i do apologize for being so late in getting this up & i hope i got all the registration problems fixed --

. . . I AM gOIng TO plAY THIs One nUde ! ! ! ! :D:D:D:p :p :p

So is there going to be a players list before the tourney? Is flyinhighdiscgolf the only way to sign up online?? Any women scheduled to play? Anybody out there?? :eek:

Jamie and I are leaving @ 3 see yah Saturday morning.
JD you better be there.....I got some ol east Texas biz with you

I just signed up on the tourney website. I signed my wife and myself up at the same time. I wasn't able to add her name anywhere. Her name is Carrie Testa and she should be signed up for Womens REC. Thanks

Sorta the same here.

I signed me up for the PPO and Kat for the TWC.

Who is showing up to this thing? I'm getting the impression that very few people are going to be there.

Me, Jay Bitner, Paul Testa, Carrie Testa, Jack Tabor. I know these people will be there! :D

Jamie and I will be there....
and I'll be playin open

I'll be there.

And I think Vinnie is coming with someone -- he's getting his car cleaned out this week. :)

lol

I forgot about Vinnie's stay with Nacogdoches' finest. :D

How about Smoking Joe?

I believe smoking Joe is in mexico

That was a big mis-understanding...they have since apologized.

Are there any other ladies planning on making this one? Might end up making this one. It looks like Joe Hague is in, if he can catch a ride. :D

As I have stated in the past you can expect a large North Texas presence at this one. Shaine Power, Kevin Wiemann, JD Rameriz, Derek Henry, Rob Dawson and John Griffith to name a few.

I'll be there with a couple of kids from my school. :D

Matt, after Texas States, I don't think you need to be taking anymore money from our pockets.

I wonder if there's going to be any chance that we might see a players list before Saturday??????

I wonder if there's going to be any chance that we might see a players list before Saturday??????



Yeah, I keep looking for that trophy beside the tournament listing. Meanwhile, I better get me and Jarred signed up.

I think I'm gonna pass on taking my 927 rating up against those 970+ Advanced players. You guys have fun. I'm playing Advanced Masters! :D(because I can)

Is this event worth the drive ????
Does anybody have some room for a couch surfer ???
Possibly coming down from funkytown, we shall see!

well worht it! The course are some of the best in state

How about some agenda for the weekend?!?

Doubles - which course, what time range?
Saturday player's meeting - which course, what time?

Thx

The lack of info for this event is pusing me towards the

" not worth the drive " side of things ... N.E. Body camping ???

Same here

Mark will be there again this year, once again playing advanced. I just finished signing him up before lunch. Good luck everyone! He IS looking to share a room if any of you would like to allow him to bunk with you/split the cost etc. Give him a call at (903)477-3134 if you're interested.

Jenn - the cannuck's wife

This sounds like the making of a really bad joke...

For those of you worried about turnout, just look at the last couple of years. Oh James McCaine and I will add two more to open.

That is all well and good Calbert, but the buzz the past years was alot more than it is now ..

N.E. body looking for a room mate ??

Not to get off topic, but how exactly do you generate a buzz for disc golf? You are not going to get radio play across Texas. We have our discussion board and that is about it. The only other thing would be the link showing players signups because we all know that a large field sells itself as players want large divisions.

you disseminate information on thus said upcoming event.. or talk about soriety girls being at the tournament :D

"thus said upcoming event." Chris has turned into a legal scholar or a froofy english teacher. :D

I want some information just to make sure that the TD is alive and will actually be there.

We need some buzz. Disc golfers need their buzz. ;)

Well, this particular TD does not operate for a particular cause other than himself. And as a potential customer ( all of us ) any feedback would be appreciated . To not respond , IMHO, is an indication of a business man that does not value his customers. I do not spend my hard earned dollars , where they are not appreciated... Not trying to rock the boat, just want to figure out if this event is worth the 3 hour drive, the entry fee, the cost associated with the tournament , and the weekend away from my kids. I am sure you can appreciate that .

I dont want to play an event just to play an event .. I want to play a quality event. I do not pay to play, I pay for the experience.

Careful around McCaine he has an extemely alergic reaction to certain substances

The courses alone are worth the trip.

The event has changed TDs several times over the years and that always hurts continuity.

It has always been an event worth attending and ended in a tornado one year.

It has always been an event worth attending and ended in a tornado one year.



Tornado = Awesome.
Hiding out at the pavilion as it passed by = Not so much.

I think the players that drove through it didn't think too much of the experience either.

Driving through the countryside immediately after a tornado had come through was interesting as well.

I guess its just the lack of posting from the TD on his Tourney thread I dont get. I mean people are asking questions about his tourney, and not even a reply....Boooo. I will be there but I'm a little disappointed so far.

I think we are all getting a little spoiled :D what did we use to do when there was no bored to read??? ;)

sissy, u goin?? any other Austinites??--I know there SHOULD be a few from Lousyanna there as well

maybe a little bit spoiled!!! :D:D

Anything would be better than that 1st ever Pecan Open. I was there foro the 2nd. That was pretty cool. Even made the final 4 and almost won some skins. (I have never been shaker on a putt in my life.) Needless to say, that was a $75 missed putt.

Update before Friday Please! **** @$% add my name to the list of curious players. Out of town through Friday. I packed to make the trip before I left but need to be sure Sat early a.m. sign up will be cool. Please let us know WTF is up with the list and the tourney.

Thanks Rick

I am sure you will be immediatley forgiven should you log on before FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!

sissy, u goin

NOPE this sissy will be at the work day on saturday at the rock the place I have not seen you at???? :eek:

Any other info you need can be found at IAMSPOILEDONTOURNEYINFOFROMPDGABOARD.COM :)

There is now a players list up on the pdga tour link. 29 players currently.

ok sorry guys players list is now up -- i will be running your credit cards today or tommorrow -- as far as concern about the players -- if anyone thinks i dont care about players you are mistaken -- i am always asking what i can do to better improve my events -- one of the things i have done is to take online payments at my site -- however i had a cookie security issue & i am now having an issue with the CC gateway -- i have been working my arse off to get it fixed & if it has kept me away from here i apologize -- as to pecan park -- lets see here -- friday doubles 3-5 flex time at pecan park --

Any1 want to play dubs? I may have a partner but I haven't talked to him so maybe not. :D

what park is the players meeting at? I'm assuming Pecan Park.

i might make it in time for dubs

Anything would be better than that 1st ever Pecan Open. I was there foro the 2nd. That was pretty cool. Even made the final 4 and almost won some skins. (I have never been shaker on a putt in my life.) Needless to say, that was a $75 missed putt.



I have been informed that the 1st ever tournament I was refering to was not the Pecan Park Open, but another name. I was at the 1st Pecan Park Open :D

I was also informed that that putt was worth $125 :(

See, you hit 40 and your memory goes :o

Has anyone seen a weather forcast for east Texas yet? I am curious if they are expecting to get hit with the same threat of severe weather that DFW is supposed to get Friday?

Apr 13 Tomorrow

Thanks!! I hope the heavy rain stays away. I remember how nasty the low lying areas are at Pioneer. The back 3 or 4 holes on the North East side of that park can get really boggy and swampy. No fun trying to play through that mess. :

Not looking foward to another Texas State Championships mud bowl... Rain Go Away!!!

Thanks for the update. I will see you friday for doubles.

What time are you coming up? My parents are going out of town so I can't use my stepdad's truck and need a ride. It isn't that big of a deal because i will make it there no matter what considering it is only like an hour away.

I saw it with my own eyes... It was a good weekend for Jerry. Congrats my friend. Don't forget about Waterloo.

Way to go Jerry!!!!

WHat happened on the lead card sunday afternoon ? Quite the ratings drop off on the final round.

It was very windy at Pioneer park and the Open division finished there this year. I expected the Open lead card to come in at about -7 to -8 as well. I would guess that the 46 was Chris making a move and feeling in the moment. Like any disc golfer I feel I left two or three lieing on the ground. If you look at round 2, also played at Pioneer, the best on that round was a -5 and it was pretty windy then as well.

Congratulations Jerry, JD, and Dale and all other winners.

Good showing by Shaine too. Tough last round.

Congrats Jerry, you know I would have beaten you if I had shown up, even with my Advanced rating :D

congrats jerry

Thank you Rick and crew for making this one happen, especially for managing 2 courses with a crew of 3 people. I am certain it will get easier with every tournament you run. Those of you who didn't make the trip to Nac missed out as these are two really fun courses. Jerry Powers, it was nice to finally put a face to the name. See everyone in Athens.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who was involved this weekend. Great weather yesterday!!

Congrats to Paul. I really enjoyed battling it out with you the whole weekend.

I learned a lot this weekend and I will know next time the uncalculated risks not to take when I am trying to hold on to a lead.

And for those that have attended in years past but didn't this year; Pioneer Park was the driest it has ever been. Even the bottom of the hill.

It was the driest I have ever seen it. You could actually walk through the bottom bog area and still keep your shoes. Additionally, it did not have that unpleasent odor that is somewhat near the smell of human feces.

We all played pretty badly but I didn't think it was THAT bad.

Everyone check yourself for ticks. I brought back something special from Nacogdoches, and hope I am the only one. :confused:

Never said it was bad, but there was quite the difference between the round ratings from the day b4 !

Yeah but we also shot a few strokes worse. It may have not been my worst tournament but I had some of my dumbest moments ever at this one. The 5 on the last hole probably tops the list though. :D

I guess what I meant to say is that we played bad but not 961 bad.

10-4 , I understand..

Hey Scooter, you played @ Cho Yea yet ?

did yall play the same layout all 4 rounds?

If so, thats nuts that JD shot a 53 and 40 on the same course!

2 different courses. He shot a 40 and a 49 though.

Ticks? I don't need no stinkin ticks.

JD played two different courses: Pecan on 1st and 3rd rounds, Pioneer on 2nd and 4th.

Matt, I didn't think you played that bad either, till the last hole. :p

How many 2's are on the course?

Basing on the scores and the ratings, it looks like there are about 16 dueces and about 12 of them are tough.

No there is about 17 dueces and 5 of them are tough with one being a big arm duece.

18 possible deuces, 5 of which are pretty difficult or unlikely, 6 or so cupcakes and the rest in between. JD had it going, then he got lax for a second, and the golf gods said "whoa, where are you going" and pulled him back to earth.

Yeah he was like -12 after 12 and only had 10 birds at that point. Do the math...... :D

How did he get the 4?

How did he get the 4?



He 4'd 18 both rounds but that wasn't how he was -12 after 12 with 10 birds :D

nice ace JD!

nice ace JD!




It was on a single chain basket too. I think it messed with me because as soon as he hit it my 9 bird streak stopped and never returned. :D

Yanked his drive into the playground. Don't forget that after his ace, he skipped and hit the cage on the next hole. He was on fire.

I completely misread that. I thought you said, "Don't forget that after that hole, he skipped and hit the cage..." on hole #1.

(For those who don't know hole #1 is 450'+ and pretty much unreachable by air.)

They should change the name to the JD Ramirez Open... He owns those courses. WTG JD.....

let me work on everything - i am putting together entry fees etc for this right now --- & i am also working on my LSS FINAL AT pecan park for labor day weekend -- any takers on that!!!!!!!!!! 2 days on a 3 day weekend -- as usual a MONSTER 9 will be involved --


ATTN: i do apologize i meant to type final at waco -- i was wanting round rock but i am going to hold my doubles final there -- & since there isnt much going on in waco this year i wanted to bring something up that way -- regarding the date of the event - i am willing to listen to the feedback so speak up soon -- i could also have my lss final on the 16th of june -- i figured a 2 day event would be better held on a 3 day weekend seems outlaws is every year on labor day weekend & that has a good turnout - that was thinking behind it -- however i also understand that is the only event & not a final --
so if vote now if you want it on may 26th/27th or june 16th/17th





So, what's the status on the final? When and where? Trying to plan the rest of my dg calendar.

Happy B-Day

Let's see, there's a Waco tournament the weekend of June 9-10; Lewisville on June 30-July 1; Corpus on June 23-24.

3rd or 4th weekend in June would be cool. 2nd weekend in July?

Live Oak is second weekend in July. Memphis and Bud Hill for last weekend in June. Guess we'll have to wait and see if Rick has any ideas......

Calling Mr. Danger, answer your phone messages!

flying solo is on June 2-3

Has anyone seen or heard from Mr. Banister. 6 weeks have passed since the PPO and there are many of us who are still looking for our payout!! :mad:

If anyone can remember the course layouts/divsions I may be able to at least get the points and ratings taken care of. Please PM me with the info and I will compare it against what I remeber as well, thanks.
