I just made the move from San Antonio/Live Oak/Universal City to the fair city of Dallas. The two closest parks to me are BB Owens and Audubon, but there seems to be a real lack of information on the discussion board regarding these two parks. Anyone in cyberland frequent these courses on a regular basis? If so, is there a local club, or a regular set of minis that are run for these courses?
I'm ready to buzz back onto the course! If anyone wants a challenging round with a pro master player, let me know (I'll find one for you :D)

welcome to DFW! you are lucky - Audubon is probably the best overall course in the 'plex. (unfortunately, BB is prolly one of the worst :) ). Audubon does not get mowed as regularly as some courses, and is so wet after a rain we call it Aquabon. but still a legitimate claim to the best.
i dont know about minis... i think BB has one. one mini you could hit is Cedar Hill at 3PM saturdays. The Vet is at 10AM sundays but is a bit of a drive just for one round. (of course you could stick around the west side and shoot for the FAT sunday afternoon acepots at ZBoaz!)

Thanks Pat, I'm looking forward to playing Audubon. Played BB Owens once during the week, and enjoyed it, but it was very busy. I'll be making the rounds on weekends to find some action.
Thanks DocB, I'll be there Sunday!

Welcome Schmidt!!!!! Another great golfer to add to the DFW mix. Sorry about BB being one of your closest. Audubon is great though.
Once you settle in to your new surroundings make the 30 minute trip to the VET on Sunday Mornings. I could use another FreeStyler to warm up with.....Although with Z-Boaz's sunday ace being $1,700-ish I probably wont make the VET until after i hit it. :DWishful thinking has always worked best for me. :p

If I am not mistaken, the Mini's at BB are on Saturday run by what is left of the club. The Sunday mini's were run by Eric B Hill and I heard he retired from running mini's.
Last I heard, they were rotating the mini's between Autobaun, BB and at one time Samual Crawford.
Go by BB most any night and you will find Pick up Doubles. Look for Scott Cook, he would know what is going on.

Yo Brian,
Bryan is correct...there is often doubles matches @ BB after work and there may be one weekend mini...EBH has retired from running his twice weekly minis(everyone really maligns this course but other then being very crowded I think it's a great little practice course).
Do the drive west for the Veterans & Z Boaz minis - great fun & a great workout for you OLD arm!
Enjoy big D-Hope it's great for ya!
