The city is starting work on our new course,The city approved a bridge to get over the creek where the new course is,They starting clearing that area so they can get a crane in there to set the bridge.This bridge cost $150.000.00,it's only use is to get to the new course,the city is ready to get this done.This is a 40 acre track,lots of mature trees,wilson creek,comegys creek,elevation,a good mix.We want to get this done over the next couple of months,if anyone can help we will meet at Alex Clark course at9:00 on Sundays.The new course is about ahalf mile away,you can walk from one course to the other.I'm so happy with the support of the city,how many city's would put $200.000.00 into a discgolf course?Bridge,19 baskets,37 sleeves,benches,concrete tee,etc So anyone that can help that would be a big help. You can call me with any questions 214-578-1305 Thanks to everyone that has supported me,you will be blown away when you see this land

Cant wait. Im going to get off early today and swing by. I'll give you a call

Excellent news Ron!! Kudos to the city of McKinney!

I can really save them some cash on baskets if you are interested. Just ask HammySlamminLammy of Cedar Hill. Discraft gave him 38 baskets for an unbeatable price! You know who to call......GhostBusters!

After my chainstar spit Ron's ace at Harmony Hills,,, I wouldn't hold your breath...

Thanks John,but we have allready done all the costs,and I think will we stay with what we have.It's not the basket it's the boy that threw it,mine would fall out of a card board box.

I will buy lunch for everyone that helps,one item off the dollar menu,maybe two if your good.

Where should we meet? I guess parking at the school would be the best place, unless we are doing the other side. I should be back around noon on Sunday to help out.

For the first couple of weekends we will meet at AC,then the school parking.The city has cleared most of 1,2,18,we will finish those holes later.FYI hole 1 am tee to am pin 450,pro pin 500,Hole1 pro tee to pro pin680.Hole 2,one tee box 2 pins(tight with lots of trees)am 275,pro330.Then over bridge and play3-17,back over bridge to18.18!!!!am tee to am sleeve400(tight with alot of trees)Pro to pro 550.18 is going to be a great finishing hole.

Great News Ron and McKinney - can't wait to see our newest DG Jewel!

happy days, can we call the park, ulitimo fuego!!! :D

Great news and work Ron! :cool:To bad you SOB's live so **** far away from me, I guess i have to make a trip to the dark side of the moon one day here soon. :D

Ron and I will be there till dark today, if anyone wants to come out

does any one have any pictures of the course that you can put on here

This is hole 2. The rest are still thick woods.

http://www.ccdiscgolf.com/ccdiscgolf/images/mcNew.JPG

How about giving them the distances of the hole to put that mass of trees into perspective.
See you guys this Sunday, bright, early, and hungover.

The pic is from the basket looking back. Its about 320, i think. Walking with Ron and looking at the rest of the layout, it may be the easiest hole out there.

Also, I dont recommend playing here without a golden retriever. :eek:

"Get the disc Jake" :cool:

Ron,

My time is kinda tight until after Christmas. Please let me know if you or others are planning to be out there then - Dec 26th to the end of the year - email me when you have an idea of the schedule, as well as what I can bring out there to help clear things out.

O.K. it looks like the weather is going to be good for the first work day,meet at AC parking lot 8:00,if your coming out later we will be working off Eldorado Dr. From Dallas north to McKinney exit Eldorado Dr go east on Eldorado about 1 mile,there's a school on your left. Park at the school,we will be working on the land east of the school,if you get lost call me 214-578-1305.

the pic of hole 2 is from short pin looking back at short tee(320)wait till we get hole 8 pro tee? if you can throw 260 over the creek with a right turn, you will be OK.,add another 90 feet and your at the basket,and yes there is an am tee.Am's play along creek,Pro's play over creek.As soon as we clear holes we will update YA'LL

New course photos (http://www.ccdiscgolf.com/Wilson_Creek_disc_golf_course.php)

I will try to add more later.

The course right now looks a lot like the Crawford Park course as they were clearing it out.

So where exactly is the new course located? Is it in the woods behind the Community Center near the nature trail?

I was stoked to come back from A&M and play Alex Clark, but the frigid rain has dampened my enthusiasm... literally...

it's roughly here (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&t=h&om=1&msid=1151258864629 45829090.00044161639ba9c5c0c2a&ll=33.182558,-96.630088&spn=0.060485,0.071154&z=14)

The current course is located on the other side of US 75 up the woods at about 10 O'clock from the area Gary shows on his linked map.

http://www.tatteredcoat.com/images/bush-clearing-brush.jpg

you guys rock! maybe this guy can help :D

Is that George Bush?

Just when you think things counldn't get any better..... they do!

I knew George was a disc golf fan...

Thanks for location info, I checked it out the other day and it looks good!

Anybody know what the course record is at Alex Clark? I shot 14 down yesterday... I know that's probably not it but I was wondering how close I got :D

JD has it at -17 from the shorts and he missed hole 12.

I love the irony in that

Haha wow. No trouble with 16... but he misses 12, that's awesome. Either way, 17 down is crazy good.

What about from the longs?

Merry Xmas,If thing keep going as fast as they are we will be playing this course in Feb.Holes1,2,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,18 are ready for tee box's and sleeves.They are doing soil samples for the new bridge,they are also going to build us another bridge(foot bridge) for hole 16.There's a small pond that they want to put a bridge over.This place is starting to come together,Thanks to Wayne Pierce,Ben Cole,Giggler,and Nolan Grider for all the hard work.These guys have really stepped up and done a great job.Without these guys help I dont know how much we would have done without them.Thanks again to the people that have helped!!

Good work Ron and the crew. It sound like yall are kicking but and taken names!
http://www.westsky.com/1fingr.gif High Five :D

Thanks Shawn

when is the next work day? you guys are going to get this all done before I have a chance to cut down any more trees!

You are correct Sir,but if we get enough people we can start on hole 3,Hey Josh,There's about 300 saplings on hole 3 with your name on them,

good job, and congrats Ron...

Wow Ron, you must be getting good at using photoshop. Finding a picture of some loppers and superimposing it into Nolan's hands.

Course is looking awesome....
Can't wait
