It's still over 4 months away, but we now have a date approved by the City of Rockwall! This event will be part of the North Texas Series. more information to come soon, stay tuned to

http://forums.titledisc.com/viewforum.php?f=21

for all the details, as they are posted :)

by the way, pending approval, this will be a PDGA C-tier event :). All further updates for this tournament will be on titleDISC.com.

Awesome, That's good stuff! :cool:

Nice. I won't be able to play in it due to being in the church business BUT i should be able to help during the second round and anything you may need done at the end.

sorry about that, levi... I struggled with it, but founder's day celebrations on that saturday would have made it tough for players and the parks people alike. there WILL be doubles on saturday afternoon, though!

sweet!

This could be the start of something MAGICAL. Awesome job Josh. You and Mace are making North Texas THE place to play.

I do what I can. :)

I'm thinking about adding cash to only the top 5 positions in Open and in Advanced... at a 45/25/15/10/5 % split... thoughts?

Save your money :D...I'm on vacation durring that time and won't be able to play. :(

I said top 5... vacation or not, it wouldn't concern you ;)

I know lots of people complain about the PDGA's payout structure and I think I can fix that a little bit by making the top 5 payout a bit beefier. As long as this is cool with the PDGA (so far it looks like it will be), I think I'm going to do it. The amount just depends on how much sponsorship I can raise :)

PDGA sanctioning is now complete!

be sure to check out the sponsorhip opportunities. This is going to be a big event with (hopefully) a decent amount of added cash. Registration will be available soon!

BTW - This event will likely play a big part in the City of Rockwall's decision to build one or two new courses (or not to build them). Beware that no illegal or otherwise family-inappropriate conduct will be tolerated. We're going to have as close to a world-class event as we can get in a 1-day c-tier :). If this one goes well... next year's could easily end up being two courses, both in Rockwall!

right ON! :)

update:

I have confirmation from the PDGA that I can distribute added cash as I see fit. That means I can help make the top 5 finishers' (in both MPO and MA1) payout a bit more juicy :)

Not to leave the ladies out, I'm also working on some salon gift certificates for the top pro woman and the top advanced woman! These are direct from a very popular Rockwall-area salon and will hopefully be a great reward for whoever wins them!

sponsorship opportunities available for the titleDISC Open are detailed on our forums.

Any local (Rockwall, Garland, Rowlett) businesses that are interested in getting involved with this event please contact me (jdann @ discgolfportal.com) and I can help you decide which package is best for your business. We are accepting CTP sponsors (gift certificates, mechandise, etc) and cash sponsors. Each and every sponsor will get more than their money's worth in advertising and the local economy will appreciate the increase in business :)

UPDATE:

Online registration for the titleDISC Open is now available!

A one-dayer! Sweet......

Looking forward to it. Thanks BBD!

Wow a tournament in Rockwall, I'm thinking this might be worth the drive. Great Course!

heck yeah, I need to go get my hur did.

You want me to light your hair on fire?

"I'll be there, man..." - the Dude

so the added cash situation is going to change slightly... kindof a culmination of all the ideas we've had. Info is on the registration page on titledisc.com, but the reader's digest version is this:

assuming we get enough added cash (including a gift certificate for 1st place FW1), it's going to happen as follows: 1st-3rd in MPO will get the bulk of the added cash. 1st and 2nd in FPO will get the rest of it. 1st place MA1 and FW1 will get donated merch added to their prize, with FW1 getting a gift certificate to the hair salon mentioned upthread. depending on the merch donations, 1st place MA1 will most likely get a dollar amount added to payout. It all depends on what gets donated and how much.

This is going to be a pretty sweet payout for a 1-day C-tier :)

I can't say it in BOLD enough letters....I WILL BE THERE!!!! Gr8 course...Must attend if you have never seen the premier course in TEXAS!!!

I have no idea who that guy (girl?) is but I think I'll pass :D

18 pre-registered already with what looks to be a strong showing from the newer local golfers. This event is shaping up to be a great one.

Don't forget about doubles on Saturday! I will be there all day to allow for flex starts between 10:00am and 4:00pm. I will stick around until about 7:00pm to take any last-minute registrations and collect scores from the doubles rounds. There should be some merchandise available for sale during that time as well.

Let me reinforce this message: this tournament *will* cap at 100 players and registration *will* close Saturday night. If we are not at 100 by Saturday, May 31st, I will take registrations during doubles that day, but I will not take any registrations during check-in on Sunday. I'm not trying to exclude anyone, but the rounds will not be short ones and I want to get started on time.

I hope to see you all out there!

That is Rockwall's Own American Idol contestant :)

You know I have to post something :D

BTW, this is actually pretty good.

at least he didn't forget the words on that one :)

weirdos.

We're up to 20 pre-registered already. Cap is at 100, so don't wait until the last minute on this one!

22 players now. heading to bed... will it hit 30 tomorrow?

We will be having an E.D.G.E. benefit raffle as well, including *at least* an Innova traveler basket, some other Innova schwag, a couple of tournament discs and if the money raised gets up to $500, I'll include an unthrown CE Firebird signed by many of Innova's Star and Champion team members including *both* of the top-rated players in TX and 3 world champions! Tickets will be $2 apiece with a discount for multiple tickets. bring some folding money to the event :)

How about a free tournament-stamped disc to the *attending player* who correctly guesses the date that the event will fill? Simple rules: first post with the correct date, from a player that attends - wins the disc. Any takers?

may 30th :D

pessimist! :D

okay, I stole most of this from my own post about the Waco tournament, but it applies to the titleDISC Open as well:

I strongly encourage everyone to pre-register for this tournament via titleDISC.com, or in person at A-Z doubles. Click http://www.titledisc.com/eventDisplay.php?eventid=331 for a direct link to the online pre-registration page. Snail-mail registration isn't quite as reliable but can be sent to:

titleDISC
3000 Blake St.
Corinth, TX 76210

Include the following information (a form will be available soon):
Name (First and Last)
PDGA Number
Division
Telephone number
and of course, the entry fee in the form of a check or money order. Make all checks out to titleDISC.

All snail-mail entries *must* be postmarked by Monday, May26th or they will be refused. In the event that a snail-mail entry arrives after the division is full, I will contact the player and offer a refund or a spot in a higher division, if one is available. If (in that situation) no spots are available or the player does not qualify for any of those spots, the entry will be refunded.

See you all in Rockwall!

may 28th

may 28th


hrm? May 28th is a wednesday. Monday, May 26th is the last postmark day for mailed entries... assuming that there are any left by then :)

the course was freshly mowed yesterday and looking good...the trees are FULL and the lines are much tighter..should be an amazing 1st Annual out there

Pre-Register people...this event should fill with players from OK, TX, AR and beyond

Doubles on Saturday!!!!

Just signed up..Josh..I will grab a tourney disc from you at the event..

Save a spot for Daryl Johnson - you know those okies are paranoid of computers :)

The City has committed to mowing fairways and doing any necessary shule trimming before the tournament. They're also providing a Gator work vehicle, a tournament board, and some rehydrating stations (water coolers :D). Gotta love the City of Rockwall. This parks department is really dedicated to growing our sport and providing us with a beautiful place to spend the weekend. Let's show them how much fun a professional disc golf tournament can be!

How many spots are left now, after A-Z? I won't be missing this one. I've played the course once and had a blast!

It shows on Title disc 31 spot used so far

yep, 31 spots taken so far so that means 69 left for all divisions, with 9 more held for MPO. Three weeks before the event, that's not too shabby :).

I already have $100 in-hand for sponsorship with another $150 or so that has been promised. It's a bit late for t-shirt or mini sponsors, but the following sponsorship levels are still available:

$50 website / players meeting / program mention. plus all of my gratitude :)

$100 one teesign plus all of the $50 level benefits, and bonus gratitude. Free collector's tournament disc!

$150 two teesigns, two discs, logos everywhere, and a bunch more gratitude!

Of course, the cheapest and easiest way to sponsor this event is through the purchase of a CFR disc. only 20 are left, so please PM me if you've already signed up but want to purchase a CFR disc. If you haven't yet signed up, you can add the CFR disc to your order! $25 for one disc or $40 for two. These are a very limited run, so get them while they last and help support the tournament!

What is the CFR disc again?

Destroyer. It's the hottest new disc in the CFR line :)

Will you have any champion x-calibers available? :cool:

Mace should have some in his payout, although they are not available yet for tournament-stamping. I was disappointed by that, but I think I'll have plenty of stamped discs anyway

update: I realized today that I messed up a bit on the entry fee pricing. nothing major but it was an inconsistency that I had to fix. Only 5 players overpaid by $5, and one underpaid by $10. I will cover the underpay myself and refund the 5 players who overpaid. Sorry for the confusion! My brain apparently took an extended lunch the day I set those prices :confused:

Anyway, the prices are correct now so there will be no more issues with that. Any more guesses as to when the event will fill? Ray, I don't see your name on the pre-reg list :)

Make that 32 spots taken and only 8 guaranteed MPO spots. :DThanks BBD and TitleDisc.

BTW, Ray - I just noticed that you asked about *champion* X-Calibers... so the answer is "no". :D

I think Mace has some Star X-Calibers left. He had a full stack of them this weekend and I only bought two :cool:. Hopefully some will survive till June 1st!

update:

We will have CFR destroyers as planned, but are adding 25 CFR Glow starfires! and if I can swing it (meaning if Innova will let me do a small quantity)... maybe another mold that is rarely produced in CFR plastic :D

Aside from the CFR goodies, there will also be tournament-stamped Aviars, Glo Ontario Rocs, Champion Wraiths, and Star Wraiths. I'm ordering tournament-stamped minis for Am players packs, too.

$50 Sponsors will get their choice of all but the CFR discs. $100 sponsors and above can choose from any of the tournament-stamped discs, including CFR!

Of course, in addition to the tournament-specific merchandise, MaceMan Disc Golf will be providing a full selection of pick-your-own plastic that will have something for everyone. He has everything from generic Innova and Discraft discs to custom stamped discs, shirts, hats, chairs, disc retrievers, you name it.

Harry Myers Park is a very family-friendly environment. If you have friends or family that does not want to compete but might enjoy learning about Disc Golf and experiencing the atmosphere of a tournament, pass along the info! There is a "sprayground" near the pavilion for the kiddos to keep cool in. There is a sizeable pond to do some fishing or picnicking around. This truly is one of the best family parks around, with one of the best Disc Golf courses alongside it.

I will try and have some pictures up within the next week or so but for now you can check out Mr. Houck's course design site for Harry Myers Park here:

http://www.golfdisc.com/design/rockwall/

and the City of Rockwall Parks Department's facilities map here:

http://www.rockwall.com/Parks/documents/Myers%20Park%20Amenities%20Sign.pdf

Tournament HQ will be at the East Pavilion on that map.

MAY 23RD

That's much more optimistic :)

BTW - I have already received a number of donated discs for the charity raffle and CTP prizes. If anyone would like to donate merchandise, please send me a PM with what you'd like to throw in the pot and I'll get you put down on the sponsor list!

Cash sponsorships are also still available, through the CFR program and through direct sponsorship. check out http://tdo.titledisc.com/ for more information

Any more guesses on when it will fill?



<font color="red"> May 31 </font>

May 30th.

anyone guess that yet?

June 2nd

May 19

May 24th

May 30th.

anyone guess that yet?


That was my first guess :D

05 27 08

5/19 - Mark Reddoch
5/23 - Eric Teddy
5/24 - Adam Murphy
5/27 - Brian Cox
5/30 - Giles Sowerby
5/31 - John My Hero Maiuro

we're at 64 right now and I still have two manual entries to put in... I'm pretty sure it will hit 80 before the weekend is over. I'll be at the park for a couple of hours this morning if anyone wants to play a round. Then I'm hitting the streets to gather sponsorship for you guys :)

are you still showing up around 10?

yep. I'm in Rockwall already. Gotta go visit my cousin and his wife (and their new baby) athte hospital for a few minutes this morning, then heading to the course, only about 10 minutes away. I should be there by 10:00 easily. 214-868-2996 if you get there before me and need reassurance :)

I have 2 flyers for CH this morning for you Josh

I will probably be there a little after 10 but i am on my way :D

In as the 21st Rec Player

My Guess is 5/28

5/19 - Mark Reddoch
5/23 - Eric Teddy
5/24 - Adam Murphy
5/27 - Brian Cox
5/28 - Steve Sanders
5/30 - Giles Sowerby
5/31 - John My Hero Maiuro




just 31 spots left, with two of them guaranteed to the Open division. I know of at least 5 people who are supposed to be signing up tonight or tomorrow... let me re-iterate: There will be no registration the day of the event, even if spots are left (which doesn't look likely). There will be a hard limit at 10 players, and there's nothing I can do about that. that's 5 players per hole on a 20-hole course. 100 is the max we can handle.

A couple more things to note:

Saturday:
we will have doubles as planned, but try to carpool or get there pretty early if you can. The parking lot will be very full because of the Founder's Day celebration. There is overflow parking across the street which we will likely need to use, but the earlier you get there, the better off you'll be :). After your doubles round (or before, or both) you can walk the 1/2 mile into downtown Rockwall and take part in all the festivites! The Founder's Day celebration will be going from 10:00am till 10:00pm, so there will be plenty to do besides disc golf. I'm 99% sure the City is going to have a DisCatcher basket set up in the square as a demo with some flyers being handed out to promote the sport. I'll have to check back with them to be sure, but if they do go that route, it would be super-cool for some of you pro-types who will be in town for oubles to stop by the parks and rec booth and talk to folks about the sport. If you're interested in this little bit of charity DG promotion, please PM or call me at 214-868-2996.

Sunday:
The disc golf course will be closed to casual play. Signs will be posted and we do have the east pavilion reserved, but just in case you were planning to play casual golf on Sunday, June 1st, it won't be in Rockwall :). Also, I have had a few generous offers of water and cooler donation so we should have plenty of water on the course, but *please* bring some of your own. It's Texas and it's going to be pretty warm. Also, Harry Myers park is a very popular family-use park, so please keep that in mind. I'll rope off the tee areas that might get close to park traffic but I'll need cooperation from all the players, too. Let's be sure that DG remains a very positive thing in Rockwall!

Other than that, I have to say thanks to all of you who have signed up so far! I'll do everything I can to make this a great event, but it wouldn't be anything without your support.

oh, and...

GO STARS

:D

How Bout Them STARS. Enjoyed the practice round today. Played like I need a lot more practice. But thanks for letting me join you guys. Hope I didn't do any permanent damage to your games. Oh &amp; I say 05/25:cool:

5/19 - Mark Reddoch
5/23 - Eric Teddy
5/24 - Adam Murphy
5/25 - Darrell Bailey
5/27 - Brian Cox
5/28 - Steve Sanders
5/30 - Giles Sowerby
5/31 - John My Hero Maiuro




It was nice to get in a round with ya, Darrell. The course is looking good right now and it should be even better for the tournament!

28 spots left to fill, only one more guaranteed to Open. Hopefully I'll have a bit better luck with sponsorship next weekend, but we've already got over $200 in added cash and a bunch more in raffle and CTP prizes. Not bad for a little first year 1-day C-tier :D

sorry about your loss Bobby, I stuck 3 in the emfamous Bear creek this past week.Hey Josh my guess is 5/26 ,cant wait for this one looking to exact some revenge on Stevon and Josh Dann from the beating in Amarillo, oh wait thats right their working well maybe I'll have to wait until Crowley.Good luck on your 1st tourny Josh

filling up fast...Congrats already BBD :D

5/19 - Mark Reddoch
5/23 - Eric Teddy
5/24 - Adam Murphy
5/25 - Darrell Bailey
5/26 - Ray Brandon
5/27 - Brian Cox
5/28 - Steve Sanders
5/30 - Giles Sowerby
5/31 - John My Hero Maiuro




only 23 spots left with exactly two weeks to go. Another announcement: After round two, while we are adding up scores and such, there will be a *world famous* (okay, well at least TX and OK famous :D) Daryl Johnson Ring of Fire! That's right, Grandmaster DJ himself will be running the Ring of Fire competition for some cool prizes.

Thanks to Kathy Brandon (and her orange husband Ray :D) for becoming our newest sponsor via the Ready for Happiness Group! Our added cash is now enough to bump up MPO, FPO (if any sign up), MA1 and FW1. A few more CFR sales and the payout could become quite nice :). If you want to purchase a CFR disc or sponsor with cash or prizes, please PM me, email to jdann@discgolfportal.com or call 214-868-2996.

my original pick was 5/28 but 5/22 looks better now!!!

my guess is.....5/27.

5/19 - Mark Reddoch
5/22 - Bobby Marshall
5/23 - Eric Teddy
5/24 - Adam Murphy
5/25 - Darrell Bailey
5/26 - Ray Brandon
5/27 - Brian Cox
5/28 - Steve Sanders
5/30 - Giles Sowerby
5/31 - John My Hero Maiuro



Adam, 5/27 is already taken :)

19 spots left! Still gathering sponsorships... remember folks, all money we raise will go straight to payouts! I should be in Arlington for the Wednesday mini @ the Vet this week and in Rockwall for some casual golf on Saturday if anyone would like to sign up in person or bring an item for the raffle or CTP / ring of fire prizes.

15 SPOTS LEFT :DNo more slacking sign up or you will be sitting this one out :Dchanging to 5/21 :eek:

no changing! :D

I know of at least 3 more people who are supposed to sign up today, and there just may be a few in the mailbox this afternoon... I cannot stress enough that 100 is a *hard limit* that cannot be exceeded. one more spot is guaranteed to MPO. If we get that tenth, I will guarantee at least $250 for 1st place in Open. 1st place Advanced is looking like it will be over $150... If we sell some more CFR discs and/or get a few more hole sponsors, it will be even better :)

5/20 is my guess

5/19 - Mark Reddoch
5/20 - Misty Smith-Bookie
5/22 - Bobby Marshall
5/23 - Eric Teddy
5/24 - Adam Murphy
5/25 - Darrell Bailey
5/26 - Ray Brandon
5/27 - Brian Cox
5/28 - Steve Sanders
5/30 - Giles Sowerby
5/31 - John My Hero Maiuro




David Kinter is now the 10th MPO to sign up, so that $250 is guaranteed and the rest of the 13 spots are first-come-first-served :)

i will take 5/21 as my guess sir. and now there are 2 fewer spots as the greats David "Z" Covalt and Troy "I'm too sexy for pants" Berry are now in. Josh, did you get my ace pot entry the other night?

5/19 - Mark Reddoch
5/20 - Misty Smith-Bookie
5/21 - Charles "The Dark Knight" Cox MCMXLVII
5/22 - Bobby Marshall
5/23 - Eric Teddy
5/24 - Adam Murphy
5/25 - Darrell Bailey
5/26 - Ray Brandon
5/27 - Brian Cox
5/28 - Steve Sanders
5/30 - Giles Sowerby
5/31 - John My Hero Maiuro



nope, you still owe me $5 for the ace pot, mr. cox MCMXLVII :)

10 spots left!

no changing! :D



Crap I did not know there was a limit to flip flopping on the dates :p I say it fills by the end of the day :D

What course will your shadow be falling on next? Mayhaps you will be playing a cas round somewhere today? :cool:

I am for sure going to be @ the Vet on Wednesday, Greenbelt on Thursday, and Rockwall on Saturday. The casual round today would have to be at the Lake and would have to be at about 6:00... if you're interested :)

What about Tuesday at Fritz....... dont be scared its doubles :D:eek: :D

maybe... I need to mow the yard at some point this week :eek: so if I get that done tonight, I might be able to make Fritz tomorrow. How 'bout a sponsorship from the Irving club? I think I could definitely make it out there to pick that up... :D

You said nothing about a "honey do" list when you extended the invite to play 2night sir. I hope the invitation was not a veiled attempt to get me out to that side of the world with the intent to have me help you with edging, followed by a little golf. :cool:

what, you can't handle a weed-whacker? :D

I can get a round in at the Lake and still get the yard mowed tonight. If Irving steps up, I might just be playing golf every night this week :eek:

the discboomer cometh to Rockwall.....

be afraid! Be very, very afraid!

be afraid! Be very, very afraid!



Watch out REC division he is coming to get you :eek:

the discboomer cometh to Rockwall.....

be afraid! Be very, very afraid!



Watch out REC division he is coming to get you :eek:



Make the rec woman's division, thank you very much!

Only 7 spots left. I will take up to 2 more Rec Men and 2 more Intermediate Men before closing those divisions. The other 4 spots are reserved for the Pro and Advanced fields. Plus, it will give nice, round numbers in the Rec and Intermediate fields :).

Pre-reg list: http://www.titledisc.com/prereg.php?eventid=331

It's starting to look like ReddMan might win a free disc. He's sneaking in on a technicality since he's playing doubles :). If he ends up with the correct guess but doesn't make it to doubles... his free disc will go into the Ring of Fire :D

Josh , you have a PM...

What will the format consist of?
Are the open &amp; advanced divisions the only playing the longs ?

it's posted all over the place, discbagger ;)

All Pro and Advanced divisions plus Intermediate Men will play one round from the longs in the morning, then one from the shorts in the afternoon. All other divisions will play two rounds from the shorts. With the two extra holes, there are only 10 long teeboxes out of the 20 holes, adding less than 900 feet of distance total. If I was a betting man, I'd bet that the SSA from the longs will be about 7 strokes higher although the par calculation won't make some folks happy just because the long pads create several "tweener" holes. I'm still working on a more accurate calculation of par for these holes.

FYI - there will be "new" mandos on holes 3, 5, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 17a. Most of these affect the long pads only and almost all of them are to help limit the nuber of errant shots that could affect play on adjacent holes. There will be a few OB areas that aren't currently marked on the teesigns, but nothing too crazy. All "new" mandos and OB will be marked with spraypaint or string.

only one spot left in the MA3 (Rec Men) division and two in the MA2 (Intermediate Men) division. I will take a waiting list for those divisions, just in case the remaining few spots aren't filled by other divisions.

only 6 spots left overall. it's getting down to the wire, folks :)

I don't think I've ever posted this many times on one thread before :)

MA3 (Rec. Men) is officially full!

4 spots left overall, only 2 of those available to Intermediate Men so don't delay!

It's starting to look like ReddMan might win a free disc. He's sneaking in on a technicality since he's playing doubles . If he ends up with the correct guess but doesn't make it to doubles... his free disc will go into the Ring of Fire




que?

Mark Reddoch (ReddMan) guessed that the tournament would fill today, May 19. If he is right, he wins a free disc, as long as he is an "attending player". He can't play singles on Sunday, but he said he can play doubles on Saturday so I allowed him to guess :). In the event that he can't make it... he forfeits the free disc into the Ring of Fire prize pool

At this rate what makes you think it wont fill on the last available day (5/31)? :D

it's posted all over the place, discbagger ;)





Once upon a time , I might have resembled that remark. :)

Those days are long gone.... Just happy to play some disc golf once a week...

1 spot left... that's it. I have one that just might cancel today (injury dependent) so if you don't make it in before the 100-player cutoff, send an email to jdann@discgolfportal.com and get on the waiting list.

This is shaping up to be quite the little 1-day c-tier event! Big thanks to all those who have sponsored via CFR disc, cash donation, or merch donation. Every bit counts and it will all make for a great event. Let's show the City of Rockwall what a DG tournament is supposed to look like.

Sponsorship opportunities will continue to be available right up until the day before the tournament (05-31-08). Even if you can't play or didn't get registered in time, you, your business, and/or your club still have a chance to be a part of the biggest little c-tier in DFW :D

... and it's full!

there are already 3 on the waiting list. If you'd like to add your name, please send an email to jdann@discgolfportal.com and we will settle the waiting list on a first-come-first-served basis if there are any dropouts.

WOW~!

congrats josh on filling your first tourny. looks like this is gonna be a good one.

so much for my guess, but glad I got in early enough - anyone want to play doubles with the PDGA's newest National Tour GrandMaster champ on Saturday

Dang! I'm looking pretty good now! :p

better show up Saturday..want to play a round with DJ?

He specifically asked for a putter and I think you can handle that..he is old and only throws it 300+ dead center

wait..that is your game also :)

Come on Mark!

I am sure a PM is coming :)

Did you say PM or BM. I think I just had one of those. The TD had already asked me if I wanted to play some doubles on Saturday. 300+ straight? I don't know if I can do that anymore. :p I would play Sunday, but I have a pregnant wife that is looking "very done". Daughter #2 will be born in June, definitely.

No more PMs (pms???) for you! (in your best soup nazi voice)

Either or...both of your ends are similar :)

Welcome to the Twins (Gemini) club...I should know - June 17th

See you Sat most likely then Mark..what time are you two thinking of teeing off?

I'm planning on teeing off around Mark's schedule, assuming he can make it. I'll be there all day anyway :)

FYI -I have received several requests to be put on the waiting list, and all have been noted. So far, one spot has been vacated (by Samara) and as such, the 1st one on the list was offered the spot. Josh McIllwain will be joining the MA1 group!

I still have 10 or so more on the waiting list and will offer any vacancies in order that the list requests were received. Next year, hopefully we'll have two courses and can handle many more players!

WOW! A tournament in north Texas that's filled two weeks in advance. What's wrong with you people? lol

http://www.thefrenchnumber.com/images/103sm.jpg


:D:D:D:D:D

Sorry, Murphy... you are losing that bet :)

I still have several CFR Glo Starfires and CFR Destroyers that aren't spoken for yet. There are also plenty of hole sponsorships left! email, call or PM if interested.

Over $350 in added cash so far, plus a bunch more in merchandise for raffle, CTP prizes, and Ring of Fire prizes. Check out http://tdo.titledisc.com/ for details on who has already sponsored and how to get your name or business on that list!

BBD, Pencil me/Discraft down for a $50 merch sponsor.

done. Thanks Hero and Discraft! :)

Josh I would like a CFR Destroyer please..make that 2 if you have it.

Josh I would like a CFR Destroyer please..make that 2 if you have it.



make sure one is pink and one is black, depending on her mood that day :D:o

I put you down for two. Thanks, Haleigh!

There are about 12 Destroyers and 10 Starfires left. And, if Innova allows the substitution... there will be 5 special CFR discs, only available to teesign sponsors. I won't say what mold they are yet but I will say that I have only seen a few of them in CFR plastic... and only online, never in person. These will be the most limited of the TDO CFR discs :)

I would love for each and every player on this list to be able to play, but I think we'd need another course :). Take heart, though. The City of Rockwall notices things like this. Having the tournament fill with this much of a waiting list, almost 2 weeks in advance... they can see that another top-quality course in Rockwall would definitely bring out the players. Next year I will try and secure a second course, even if it has to be temporary (or in a nearby city :eek:), as long as it is comparable in quality. If that happens I will hopefully be able to bump next year's event up to a two-day B-tier.

Bah, I am always in a good mood, except when I am trying to quit smoking!

It is confirmed, we will have a total of 25 CFR Destroyers, 20 CFR Glo Starfires, and 5 CFR Gators!

The CFR Gators are only available to those who have sponsored at the teesign level and above. They are $25 each, just like the others, but are not eligible for the multiple-disc discount. Currently, the following individuals and businesses have the opportunity to purchase one of these super-limited discs:

Charles Cox III
The Ready for Happiness Group
Chambre Salon
OMB vs. YGB

Any of the TDO-stamped CFR gators not purchased by those named above will be purchased by titleDISC as additional sponsorhip. They will not be available to the general public :)

can't we add some holes, or do tee times or something, let the wait list in! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

can't we add some holes, or do tee times or something, let the wait list in! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif



Tee times could allow up to 150 through the course twice, but there wouldn't be a big players meeting before. The awards would be close to dark, but if it started with rec - pros, the rec players could get paid out and go follow the pros and the same all the way up through advanced. There would be no big crowd for each groups awards

So many pros and cons to tee times, but the one pro is more players! :) :cool:

I played in the COTO a couple of years back and tee times are the way to go :Doh and skip the meeting at the begining and print the rules :p Josh are you coming out to Irving tonight?

I thought about adding one hole, but I really only have two options there...

split hole #3
this is the signature hole and I'd hate to eliminate one of the best par 5 holes in disc golf! It *would* help a lot with tournament flow, though... but I dunno

Add a basket to the left side of #17's fairway
This would make two boring holes out of one that's already somewhat boring. Not a win-win, but at least it's another hole and I wouldn't have to split #3.

Either option would add about 20 minutes to rounds that are already going to be really long.

If I did tee times, we'd never get both rounds in on Sunday. I could do a split start... that would mean starting a couple of divisions about an hour in front of the others, then starting the rest. It would allow for another 12 players or so... basically everyone on the waiting list... but logistically it would mean a longer day of golf for everyone.

I think we're better off sticking with the plan and focusing on ways to make next year's event hold more people. I hate to turn folks away, but registration has been open for a month and the 100-person limit has been posted the whole time. I know that situations arise where people don't know that they can play early enough to register... so next year I want to increase the field size and give a lot more people the opportunity to play. Given the overwhelmingly positive response this year, I don't doubt that we will be able to fill two courses next year.

The good news is that everyone who wants to will be able to play doubles on Saturday (5/31)! Also, anyone who plays doubles, even if they don't play the tournament itself, will be welcome to enter the raffle and Ring of Fire contest with everyone else. Of course, I'll welcome anyone who didn't get registered in time but wants to hang out on Sunday and help :)

I'm not sure how tee times help in getting more players through the course. You only have so many hours in the day of daylight. If you do tee times, there is daylight time that holes have no people playing them. If you wanted to get more people through the course than just 2 rounds X 5 X # of holes, you could start earlier, finish later, ensure the skill level and player placement is carefully planned, and ensure people are always playing the course (i.e. during lunch) and probably get 4 rounds in between multiple flights of players. I fail to see how that is possible with tee times. Of course, we're talking about Rockwall here...a 20-hole round there full with 5-person cards will be a 4+ hr. round; I don't think 4 rounds is possible, even in 16 hours of daylight. The only way to work it out would be to have 3 rounds, but whoever has to play the middle round would end up playing back-to-back rounds with no break somehow.

100 players out there will take the full day already!

all valid points... and all seem to support the original plan :)

I'm not going to be making any changes to the format this year but I'm definitely open to suggestions for next year's tournament. The City of Rockwall is going to love all the demand and enthusiasm that this tournament has generated. This could be the start of some very good things for North Texas Disc Golf.

So Josh, Buddy, Friend. :D

What hole am I on?

I agree it's not best to change things this close to the tourney. For next year, tee times can get more people through a course twice than shotgun starts. I've ran 2 tournies that way and got 142 players through with an hour to spare of daylight during the third weekend of May. It is much easier on staff since you have cards coming in approximately every 7 minutes and when a division is complete you post the next tee times. You will already know a tee range for each division for their 2nd round. You do have to get relief out to staff/spotters, but all that is easily done with some planning.

We can talk about it for next year if you want after this years event has put in the books :cool:

josh, please don't mess with hole #3 for the tournament. that is all.

Did you ask John Houck if he had any ideas for extra holes for tournament use?

Did you ask John Houck if he had any ideas for extra holes for tournament use?


Thats a great idea...... I wish hole 17 was not split up it is also a signature hole :confused:

I think hole 3 is a very good hole and challenges players at every shot. However, I think the flow of the tournament may be helped quite a bit by splitting hole 3 into two holes.

There are three points of delay that come into play with 3 at full length. Of course there is the issue of having to cross the fairway to get from hole 8 to 9 causing delays on both holes. There is a problem with discs that come into the area around hole 9's tee box by deflection or purpose and some chance of interfering with hole 10's basket(either waiting for them to putt out before driving, or getting knocked down close enough to interfere with them putting out).

You need to keep the tee shot for hole three intact, but remove any benefit from going anywhere near hole 9's tee area.

You need to keep the demanding second shot across the bowl in play on the second hole. By placing the tee for the second box halfway to hole 8's basket, you will be giving most players a view of the approach they have never seen before.

But that's just my opinion of how the increase the flow while keeping the drama and challenge of the hole intact.

If I came from out of town to play this event and couldn't play that hole I would be upset.

I personally doubt that the flow (waiting on three's fairway to clear to cross from 8 to 9) really causes any noticeable delays. You have to remember that there will most likely be a bit of a wait on 9 anyway...I bet the short on that hole averages +4 for advanced and below. You're coming off of 8 (easiest hole on the course) to 9 (one of the hardest). There will be a delay there...in fact I bet 9's delay will be longer than 3's...after 2nd shots on 3 a lot of cards will be able to start playing the hole...on 9 though you can't really do that...cause what if you throw a great shot...you'd end up killing someone on 9's fairway.

Don't break up the best hole in North Texas!

Disclaimer: I will not be playing this event due to scheduling conflicts. :(

LOL and put a sign on 9's tee box for people waiting to "go spot for hole 3"

Thats a great idea Frobookie!

I never said it was a good option,(or even one that I liked) just one that may need to be considered because of the sheer number of players and the delays that come into play because of the lay of the land.

I do believe that the two holes that come from it would be interesting enough to be worth playing. There would be one very long downhill birdie chance (with a perfect throw), and one very tough Par 4 over widest part of the bowl.

I won't be splitting #3 although Gary's description is exactly how I *would* do it. In fact, I have a "flood contingency plan" that will only be used if holes 5-7 become unplayable due to high water... if that happens, hole #3 will need to be split, but I don't think that's going to happen :). Before this tournament was ever scheduled or officially announced, I looked at the options and decided (with a lot of feedback from players) that #3 needed to remain intact if at all possible.

As for #17, I'm excercising some "creative control". If it's a signature hole, it's not a very good one, IMHO, at least not for tournament play. unlike hole #3, two groups cannot realistically play the fairway at once since 90% of the hole's difficulty is pure distance. A mando would need to be added to avoid interference with the amphitheater (which will be in place anyway on 17a for the same reasons), taking away the long arms' ability to "cut the corner". It just doesn't flow well for tournament play... but I think you will all like 17a, playing from 17's normal long pad up to a basket in the cedars. splitting that hole makes much more sense to me than splitting #3.

Of course, I will be asking for lots of feedback *after* the tournament. If the majority of players would rather see long #17 played than #17a, then next year it will (most likely) be so :).

My primary goal for this event is to give players a chance to have fun and compete on one of DFW's best courses. I also want to show the City of Rockwall that they are sitting on a gold mine! Another course of that caliber in Rockwall would put them on the Disc Golf map in a big way, giving DFW an even better shot at hosting Worlds sometime in the not-so-distant future.

Anyway, I hope that everyone will thoroughly enjoy the course in the configuration we're using. Of course there is always room for improvement and I intend to use every bit of feedback I can get to make next year's event even better!

I'm so enamored with what EDGE is doing for the sport that I'm about 90% sure that the 2nd titleDISC Open will benefit EDGE exclusively. As it sits, we're already going to be able to send them a nice little bonus, of which the majority will be earmarked for activites in Texas. Be sure to dig deep for raffle ticket money! Here's a short list of some items we will be giving away:

- Unthrown Last Run CE Firebird, signed by many members of the Innova Champion and Star teams
- Innova Traveler practice basket
- Gift certificates to local restaurants and businesses
- EDGE CFR discs
- a bunch of other donated plastic!

and *maybe*

an Innova Discatcher mini-basket! (I haven't decided what I'm doing with this one yet... but if enough tickets are sold, it's going in the raffle :))

I agree that 17 is not a signature hole. It is kinda cool from the longs, but really nothing special. From the shorts it is one of the most boring holes on the course.

I played it yesterday and the course looks great. Looks like the city is letting some of the grass grow taller to simulate "rough".

Anybody need an advanced partner for doubles the day before the Title Disc Open?

Logistically this may not be the best idea ( it would require 1 ghost card ) But you could ......
At the start of the round , do not start anybody on hole 2 . That would leave a gap in play that would absorb the time it take to complete hole 3 ... In theory , the initial gap could continue the entire round . Put the ghost card on a little dinker hole , like 18 perhaps ...
Just my .02

I am kicking myself for not getting in but I had to wait to see if the left shoulder would hold up for tourney play. Now my right shoulder is wanting to play and is PIS SED off!!

I need some info on how and where to go for sponsership. Do we still have time for that?

contact Josh directly at

titledisc.com

if you need a # PM me

Donovan, I replied to your email but just in case:

The cutoff for teesign sponsorship is Thursday, 5/29 and only because that's when I'll be printing up the teesigns :). Any other sponsorship via CTP disc, merch donation, or even a few dollars in cash is welcome through Saturday, 5/31. You can send funds via PayPal to paypal@discgolfportal.com or via cash/check in person. Merch of course would need to be in person unless you feel like spending the money to ship it :). I will be at the Vet tonight collecting sponsorship and playing golf. Tomorrow night I will be at Greenbelt in Carrollton, and Saturday I will be in Rockwall most of the day.

If you do want to sponsor a hole, please email me the logo or text you would like printed on the sign. Thanks in advance!

So Josh, Buddy, Friend. :D

It does pay to be on the waiting list :). I've already filled one spot from the list due to an unfortunate work conflict and I'm about to fill another!

Jay Bitner will be offered this spot because the Seabolts have requested that they only be admitted as a pair. If Jay declines, I will keep going down the list until someone accepts :D

just over 10 days till TDO! Get those sponsorships in quick :)

Update: I'm working on a deal with Don Q to provide lunch for everyone. If I can get one more teesign sponsor, I can make it a free lunch. As it sits, lunch will be $5 a head but it is *well* worth the money for some great food without even having to leave the course (or lose your parking spot) :). More info to come very soon!

And the one after that will go to me so that we can balance out the GM's! :D

Hey if anyone from Houston is playing in this tourney, you should come to Austin and play the Quickie then head to D-Town. There is camping and lodging available at TPCC and I'm sure you wont mind staying at a disc golf C.C.

D-Town Ams get ready for Super D, J. Ledesma, and Brother Leon. You can't handle the pressure folks....

Wallace you need to come up it you can get it ok?

Lets try this again...wallace you need to come up and play the quickie then ride with brother leon, john and I to D-Town.

The list says that I am on the waiting list for MA1, I will play in any division that my rating allows. That would be MA2, MA1, or MPO. Please don't limit my entry, if by chance the waiting list allows me to enter. I also dont understand why it is not a first come first served waiting list. Everyone had the same chance to sign up, I blew it and now I am on the waiting list and people are placed in front of me because of discremination of sex. It's not my falt I was born a man.LOL :confused:

It pays to use use the online tools that are at your disposal....these tools are pertinent to your sucess in life and entries into disc golf tounaments!!! :D:p

Nate, Nate, Nate. Y so cryptic. :cool:

it basically *is* a first-come-first-served waiting list. The seabolts want to be let in as a pair, though... so unless I have two people drop out on the same day, they are going to be difficult to get in. Also, as it sits right now I have a card of ladies playing short tees the first round with one advanced master (he volunteered to play with the ladies... you'll never guess who it is :D) who is playing from the longs the first round. That is bad juju. This situation only arose because a woman dropped out, so it makes the most sense to fill her spot with another woman. When I initially filled it however, there were no women on the waiting list.

With a full course, there has to be a bit more control of division breakdown than simply first-come-first-served. I let it fill up that way (except for limiting MA3 to 25 players) but now I have to be sure that I'm following PDGA guidelines with regards to mixing Am divisions with Pro divisions. The only time I'll take one player over another is if I have to. If another spot opens up, it needs to be filled by an amateur woman.

Seeing Josh in the flesh, I find it hard to believe that he is actually putting these statements together by himself. With that said, I accuse Deidre of being the person behind the curtain, (much like in the wizard of Oz), that is actually doing all this well written gobble-d-gook. :cool:

i say we nix the pro division and let all the ams on the waiting list in :D

FYI-

After the Quickie, the next tourney in Austin is going to be at Bartholomew Park. (Lets not forget about the HOTT tour "Kyle Open 6/28/08" but not affiliated with the Super D Productions) I have picked July 12th and 13th for this potential "B" tier. Once I talk with Waterloo about this I will make it official. After all, they are the only one's that keep maintnance on the course. Thanks Waterloo

Has anyone come up with a name so I can create a thread? I think I can create a pole on this thread too, bad Ace

Go to the Quickie thread to see some ideas that have poped up...

back on topic, I want to remind everyone that doubles on Saturday, May 31st is flex-start 10a-4p, bring-your-partner, and no pre-registration or waiting list necessary. Given the number of registered players for the Sunday event who have not yet played Harry Myers Park, plus the number of players that won't be able to play the Sunday event... I'm expecting a pretty large turnout for doubles.

- There will be four divisions: Am Women, Intermediate, Advanced, and Open.
- All Am divisions are $20/team and Open is $30/team.
- All divisions will play from the short pads for doubles.
- There is a minimum of two teams per card and a maximum of three.
- Am payouts are in merchandise, Pro in cash.
- The tournament acepot does not apply to the doubles event, however I encourage everyone to play 51 with their card

Parking will be somewhat of an issue Saturday, but we will have room for everyone. Carpool if you can, play early if you can, but definitely come out and play :)

Rec men are playing from the shorts right?

Will Troy and I be able to pick up our intermediate winnings on Saturday?

fyi..Misty and I are playing dubs. Any other women planning on play..ie(Deidre)

yes, Rec Men are playing from the shorts.

Will Troy and I be able to pick up our intermediate winnings on Saturday?


doubles winnings will be available on Saturday evening, depending on what time the last card for each division comes in.

but no, you won't be able to play intermediate :)

way to use your special TD powers and preventing the cox/berry show from bagging. i still don't think they would have won intermediate, but my partner and I shall contend for the intermediate doubles title.

nix the pros! nix the pros!

Just because he coined the phrase "Land Shark" doesn't give him the right to be catty. Josh, you must remember that as a reprsentative of American Idol, you leave lasting impressions on the youth of America, such as Manny. :cool:

boo this man!!!

nix the ams, nix the ams!!! :D

boo this man!!!

nix the ams, nix the ams!!! :D



yea boo that man lets make it 2 divisions men and women

Now I like that idea

see that Haleigh? JD, Brice &amp; Nate are all afraid of you!

wuuoohahahaha!

make the pros carry our bags and polish our shoes! :p

Yeah right, I suck at golf at the moment.

"Manny" and "youth" should not be mentioned in the same sentence :D;)

Another reminder - Raffle tickets will be available all day on Saturday and Sunday. You must be present at awards to win any of the bigger prizes, but it won't take long to get everything wrapped up and ready to go after round #2. Plus there's a DJ Ring of fire to keep you occupied!

Raffle ticket prices:
$2 - 1 ticket
$5 - 3 tickets
$10 - 7 tickets
$20 - 15 tickets

There will be some really cool stuff in the raffle and it benefits the Educational Disc Golf Experience!

Are you kidding me?? I'm from Fritz - 41 is young there. :D

Senior discounts on raffle tickets???

I am looking for a doubles partner for Advanced AM. Rockwall is my home course, so if you need a partner shoot me a PM.

Sound like they're asking for a woopin Josh. You wanna show 'em up.

I'm committed to play with ReddMan but if he drops out, you got it :)

Waiting list update: I have two spots opening up as of this afternoon, so Jerry and Dalton will be offered the spots first. If they decline, Heidi and Mark Hooper are up next

yes, Rec Men are playing from the shorts.



I hear that's a Good thing

Yeah definitely definitely :D

It only makes sense, pros don't bring any money in, they are just in it for themselves. Ams are where it's at. More ams means more money raised in plastic and more for the course. Nix the pros, bring on the ams. :p

Jerry, Dalton and Troy Berry are all out now - bring in the next 3 players :)

Does that mean that the PepperTee is in?

as long as he returns my call :)

He was out at Fritz yesterday...wish I had known..he is probably out at the Vet today

pepper and giggler are in. waiting on confirmation from heidi before I move down the list

ok well I should be in soon RIGHT??? come on Josh, hook me up.. Add some holes or something... :D I can't miss out on my home course if I able to throw!!! ;) hey....PT's IN! :eek:

Anybody from the west side care to do the " green " thing
and carpool from the west side???

PM if interested ...

Pooling sounds good.

Pooling sounds good.



Interested ???
You are not exactly along the way, but you could be.....

carpooling is highly recommended for both days :)

Update: I will be getting to the park early on Saturday to accommodate those who want to start their doubles rounds early. 8:30am now instead of 10:00am. I won't have everything set up mechandise-wise, but I will have scorecards ready to hand out. If you have two teams ready to go, you can pay for your doubles entry and start as early as 8:30am!

A couple more sponsors added to the list. Deadline for sponsorship is Thursday night, so if you want to get your name or your company's name on this event please contact me by then.

the course was looking great this past weekend and thanks to the Bitners, I now have paint, flags, and tape with which to mark off OB, mandos, etc. The City has cleared a nice putting green for 17a and a nice teebox for 17b. the majority of the shrubbery that was clogging up fairways is now gone, but there is still plenty of rough to get lost in, so spotting is a must!

I will have the new Mandos and OB lines marked on Friday, with flags at the temporary pin locations and teeboxes. Saturday I will have the course in tournament form for doubles and other practice play. CFR discs *should* be available for delivery starting tomorrow. Those who have already purchased a disc or two (or four) can pick them up from me either at the Vet mini tomorrow (Assuming that they arrive tomorrow), at Greenbelt in Carrollton on Thursday, or at the Rockwall course Friday afternoon through Sunday. I will also have leftover tournament-stamped CFR Destoyers, CFR Glo Starfires, Wraiths, Glo Ontario Rocs and DX Aviars for sale at those times and places for anyone who is interested.

Will the "local mando" on hole 8 be in play at the tourney?

yes, it will be. that hole was originally designed to have a few more trees, essentially blocking that easy RHBH hyzer route. The "local mando" will force people to play the hole as intended :D

I am still looking for an Adv. Am partner. Any takers? Shoot me a PM.

Cool, thanks Josh. It was hard for me to invision my perfect round without knowing which shot I'll be taking on that one /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Did Ben Cole track you down yesterday Rusty? He was rolling through your neck of the woods and wanted to play some golf.

Schedule to hit 100 degrees on Sunday!!!!

everything I've seen says 91-93 max...

I guess we'll see :)

Big News:
I'm *very* proud to have Don Q providing the food for this event. Lunch will be included with your entry fee! We now have enough sponsors to cover lunch! Don Q. will be bringing his famous Hot Dogs, Burgers, and Q-B-Q Brisket. There will be baked beans, cookies, bananas, sodas, etc. Always great food and the profits stay in the DG community! This is a *major* deal since parking will be at a premium and nobody will want to give up their spots. Plus, free lunch is free lunch :).

Leftover Q-B-Q and dollar dogs will be for sale after round two for those wanting to refuel while waiting for awards or to collect payout!

Speaking of which..will we be able to park just across the street in that field the cross country runners use?

100 was on the weather channel at 5:48 :)

yes, we will be able to use that field. it is private property, but on loan to the City for this weekend's festivities.

and the road?

you know you will see vehicles there..but if we can allow or stop it now

as for the private land..who wants to own the first house directly across from RW? :)

players should not park anywhere except for designated parking areas. There will be plenty of parking and since we're getting started early, disc golfers should get first shot at all available spots.

tournament discs are arriving today unless UPS screws something up. I'll have them at the Vet tonight unless it's pouring rain. Get em while they're hot :D

well wouldn't ya know it... UPS screwed up. The packages are sitting in Denton *all day* today, waiting to be delivered to Arlington tonight. So I'll just go pick them up in Denton this afternoon... but that means that I won't be at the Vet mini this week. Instead I'll try to make it to the McKinney mini tonight and still be at Greenbelt tomorrow. At least that will give some of the McKinney-types a chance to purchase a CFR disc :).

Pics..Pics..let's see how that 1st annual stamp came out on some new Innova plastic!!

The only one of its kind:
http://titledisc.com/images/only1.jpg

the same, shown with some of its distant relatives:
http://titledisc.com/images/assortment.jpg


the second image is (clockwise, starting in the upper left) Aviar, CFR Destroyer, CFR Glo Starfire, CFR Gator, and of course the mini in the middle. Innova accidentally sent me 2 sidewinders in place of 2 of the starfires, so I have one CFR Glo sidewinder for sale as well :)

Good looking plastic..I will treat my Aviar well :)

I like the off center stamp...can't wait until Saturday and Sunday

Just added to the Ring of Fire by 17684:

Innova Aviar - 1993 World Biggest stamped DX 175
Innova Aviar - Twisted Flyer center stamped DX 173
Innova Aviar - 10th Annual MJCO stamped DX 172
Innova Aviar - 11th Annual MJCO stamped DX 172
Innova Aviar - Mace Man Dragon stamped DX 171
Discraft Predator - Duncan Hill Climber stamped ESP 171
Discraft Challenger - ADGA Full Color Club Championships stamped 172 (#1 of 50 made)
Gateway Diablo DT - Double stamped 174

Everyone should grab some plastic they can part with, don't shoot or just don't want and donate to the RING OF FIRE held by Father Johnson!!!!

yes, please do. and please bring new, unthrown plastic if you can. Also in the mix for RoF prizes, donated by titleDISC and Innova:

2 titleDISC Open DX Aviars
2 titleDISC Open Glo Ontario Rocs
1 titleDISC Open Star Wraith
2 Innova t-shirts
2 Innova towels
5 Innova keychains
5 Innova fridge magnet / bottle opener / mini marker discs (cool!)

I'll match *all* of that to the raffle as well as the DISCatcher Traveler with 3 titleDISC Open Aviars, one CFR Disc, and *maybe* the DISCatcher Mini, depending on how many tickets are sold. If we raise at least $1000 for EDGE, the mini basket is in!

I think you like that mini basket :)

Good deal Josh..let's pump up the ROF and the Raffle!!

You know I am in on the raffle after taking the prize at Duncan last raffle!

Wow, the course is improving daily. Love the new rock path on #6 and the new giant stones placed on #9. Seems like each day I have seen new improvements for the tournament.

a city that is working with us...so great to hear...

yes, the City of Rockwall has been unbelievably supportive of this event. So much so that I plan to run the titleDISC Open in Rockwall every year until people stop showing up :). We're trying hard to get another course or two in Rockwall as well... anyone who is around for doubles on Saturday please take a few minutes to head the 1/2 mile west into downtown Rockwall and find the Parks and Rec booth (part of the founder's day celebration). Let them know that you're here for the tournament and how much you appreciate what they're doing for our sport!

There are a few more people at the bottom of the list, truncated for brevity's sake. At this point, as spots become available I need to be able to reach the waiting list person within a few hours before I'll be forced to move down the list. It's unfortunate, but we're getting very close to the tournament and I need to fill the spots quickly.

A couple more sponsors added! Irving Disc Sports, Team DiscQualified, and the ADGA are all in! I'm going to be printing teesigns this afternoon so if you're still on the fence about sponsorship, the time to decide is now :)

Josh,

Good luck on your first. I wished I was coming, but I have other obligations this year. Tear it up.

Jerry

I was out there yesterday...course is looking great! The new drainage ditch/stream on #4 helped keep that hole very dry, even after the previous night's rains...also they added crushed limestone low water crossing on #6 and big limestone blocks to the ditch on hole #9 between the tees and another in the fairway ditch to make crossing those very easy.

i was too beat to try out 17a, but i saw the green area...should be interesting.

Not to mention the replaced tee sign on red 17!!! :D;)

Everyone, this is by far one of the GREATEST courses in our Great State! Josh is the man for putting this on. I think in a few years this will become a 'must attend' event. I hope that everyone enjoys it.

Already a " must attend " event.....
Great course!!!

BTW - one day event on Sunday is a great idea...

thanks for the kind words :)

Mandos, dropzones, and OB are marked. teesigns will be posted tomorrow. course is in fantastic shape!

I will be at the course by 8:15 or so in the morning so that folks can start at 8:30. Early is best, especially if you want to play multiple rounds. I'll be set up near the parking lot between holes 18 and 1. See everyone this weekend!

We are ready BBD - 11am round for us still on?

ReddMan confirmed. We are ready :)

I had issues getting the programs printed at OfficeMax today so they won't be ready for the doubles round, but scorecards and teesigns did get done. The programs were really meant for Sunday anyway so I'll just get them printed tomorrow. We are good to go!

and we are off...DOUBLES tomorrow..SINGLES Sunday

Kick it, Hero! I hope you claim the title at the 1st titleDISC Open! :D
