The double R is proud to be part of this year's Flying Solo Open. This will be a C-tier event 1 day at Rivery park in Georgetown Texas. this will be 2 rounds with lunch onsite. Please mark this on your calendars. we are accepting any and all sponsorship. I understand that this is on father's day but what better way to honor my brother then to try and raise some $$ for his son's education on such a great day. I know Tony will be looking down with all smiles. so come on out and enjoy the course, friends and good time.

I will post more details once they start to fall in place.

count me in- I've been waiting to play a tournament at this course for a long time.

sounds good.

Last I saw, the course was in pretty good shape... Any plans for a work day prior to the tournament? Help is a great thing when it comes to workin'. :)

yes we will have a work day on 5/17 ( I know you guys will be at coto) then we will have another work day on either 6/7 or 6/14. we will have a tractor with a bush hog so we will need people to move limbs and lopper where needed and weed eat around baskets..

then we will have another work day on either 7/7 or 7/14.

You mean 6/7 and 6/14, right?

oops yes sorry about that.. I mean may 17 and maybe june 7th or 14.. DOH good catch Gordon

No problem, I'm just happy to return the favor :D

got some merch sponsors and a little cash sponsor so far. thank you Suemac and berlind. keep em coming. please

still looking for sponsors.

Dear Potential Sponsor,

I want to share the opportunity with you to be involved in a very good cause and a high quality event which will benefit my nephew who lost his father last year to illness. My nephew is 12 years old and the last thing my brother asked before passing was for my siblings and I to do our best to see that his son has an opportunity to better his life through college, so that is why I am contacting you. The Flying Solo memorial tournament is in its 4th year. Last year we raised almost $2500 and are hoping to surpass that amount this year. The tournament will be held at the Rivery Disc golf course in beautiful Georgetown Texas. So come on out meet my Nephew and watch some of the best disc golf this state has to offer. We are actively seeking sponsorship and have been successful in reaching some of our goals but would love to go over last years raised $$ amount. Which bring me to why I am contacting you; I would like to invite you and your company the opportunity to share your product with a growing field of golfers and a customer base of your product. I am unsure of the types of assistance your company is capable of providing, so I can only ask for the world and will settle for nothing. But if you are interested in being a part of my nephew�s future I will be forever in your debt. I would like to thank you for your time and assistances. You can contact me at 512-567-9276.

Sincerely yours,
Chris Ware

Only 2 weeks out from this awesome tourney. First time we are having it at the Rivery. We'll be having a work day on the 7th and probably the 14th. Please come out and help us get this course in better shape. The city is suppossed to come out and mow it for us at the end of next week. I'll keep prodding them. Don't miss this tourney! Awesome raffel, and silent auction which we are still gathering items, so keep 'em coming.

I'll be sending a set of 3 GSSS discs (1 Supercolor Series Buzzz, 1 Champion small logo GSSS '08 Destroyer and 1 Star small logo GSSS '08 Xcaliber) to the address on the flyer this week, and as always, I wish all my Texas pals the BEST!

Hope to see some of you at Worlds.

Keith

thank you you Keith Johnson you are the "man" .

Ed can you find out from the city if we can get past the chain for the work days and also the tourney so we dont have to haul so much stuff over to the pavillion??? thanks

Hey C Ware,

Are donations of plastic needed or would you prefer the green stuff? Let me know so I can start digging through the stack in my closet or digging in my wallet.... :D

Not gonna miss this one!

whatever you can afford we will take either and the $$ will go straight to the charity and the merch will be raffled or silent auction. thank you

entries are trickling in. and we will have a work day this saturday start around 9:00 meet around hole # 1.

I'll be sending a set of 3 GSSS discs (1 Supercolor Series Buzzz, 1 Champion small logo GSSS '08 Destroyer and 1 Star small logo GSSS '08 Xcaliber) to the address on the flyer this week, and as always, I wish all my Texas pals the BEST!

Hope to see some of you at Worlds.

Keith



On their way by priority mail and you should get them by Sat or Monday.
You can use them as a set or sell them 1 by 1 if you want.
Only 100 Series Supercolor BUZZZ, 75 Champion Destroyers and 50 Star Xcalibers were made, and they retail for 25 each for the GSSS Events.

Hope they help!

Keith

kewl thank you very much for your support Keith

Hi Chris,

I signed up for Ma1, but the list shows me in Ma2.

Are the directions listed in the course directory the best way to get to the park?

I just got Waterloo's sponsorship merch mailed yesterday Chris, it should reach you soon.

Thanks for continuing to support us here in Texas Keith! :D Be sure to let us know when we can return the favor.

Thanks for continuing to support us here in Texas Keith! :D Be sure to let us know when we can return the favor.



I already have had WATERLOOOOOOOO listed as a Silver ($100) sponsor for the Georgia's Super Six Series (GSSS) which are Six Events, six weeks apart (as you can tell from my sponsorship of events around the country where I always sponsor hole #6, the # 6 is important to me.) As you can see I'm a glutton for punishment as 1 tournament a year wasn't enough suffering for me. :eek:
Event #4 is coming up on June 21st, and I figured I would just trade out with you for the 95th Waterloooooooo event later this year.

If you ever read any of the tournament stuff I post, you would already have known this. ;)

:D:D:D

Hope to see some of my Texas pals at worlds.

Keith

ok fixed you matt you are in MA1.

Kyle do not follow those directions as that will have you parking on the wrong side of 35 and walking really far. You want to be on the south side of 35. coming south on 35 take the 261 A exit and go throught the light up to the wendys take a right and about 1/4 of a mile down the road you will see a turn on your right that will take you down a hill to the parking lot.

Waterloo and our friend from Arizona thank you for guys for your continued support

The Double R Disc Golf Club will be holding 2 work days prior to the event. This & next Saturday (7th (Waco - I know, sorry) & 14th) starting @ 9:00 ( or as early as you can get there), bring loppers, weed eaters, mowers, gloves, etc (no chainsaws). The club will provide lunch & Ware will have some beer for after.

The Double R Sunday ace pot will be open to current Club members during the morning round @ SOLO - that means the $5 per player & $500 Club ace pot could be yours!! Donating half to the charity will bring you good karma all year. :)

will the Double R acepot roll over to the tournament if not hit?

Negative, it's a Sunday morning acepot, and since we are playing at our scheduled course(Rivery 3rd Sunday) it is in effect. We have historically done this for current members.

The extra $500 will stay with the Double R if it's not hit by a current Club member during the 1st round on Sunday. No you may not hit the ace & then join the Club. Yes you may join Sunday before your 1st hole. $25 to join, $10 to renew. Yes there will be a confirmed list of who's current with the Club - if you're not sure ask BEFORE the tournament. No Chris will not be aable to take the Club sign up @ the tournament & no you can't write one check for Club dues & tournament enrty fee. Please see another Double R cabinet member if you need to join/renew on Sunday @ the tournament(Edman, Lala, Big Arm, or JD. Any of us will be happy to help with any Club related stuff until we become players in the tournament. :)

The mowers did a nice job Thursday morning and hit a lot with their weed eaters. I don't know how you got them to do it but that was awesome.

They even cut some paths that aren't really part of the course like a path from hole 5 to the picnic table hole (13?). Maybe that's to make it easier for carts or something.

good news maybe we wont have that much to do tomorrow. how did the back look???

Boyz - it's done no work day on the 14th. The Rivery has never looked so good. Thanx to the Ware's parents - your folks ROCK, Cware, Ware2 & his son, Byron, Tony, Shawn, Russell, Keith, KT, Goblin, Erik, Edman, Clint & his brother, Parker & I helped a little too. 18 people, 3 riding mowers, 6+ weedeater, a crazy bush hog machine, saws, lopper, & trash bags made this place shine. No need for another day, just a few odds & ends - maybe Tuesday. Now - just come & play Sunday the 15th for Solo. :)

yes thank you all for helping get Rivery into shape. This sunday will be allot of FUN!!! the course is looking awesome.

where are all the sign-ups? :confused:

they are coming in.. you just be there!!!! :D

I will take sign ups until 8:30 with players meeting at 9:00

Hey Chris,

YES thank you live oak for the sponsorship.

If you are not on this list, you need to speek with me to renew/join BEFORE your first hole. If you are not on this list & ace in the 1st round, you are ONLY in the tournament ace pot. No questions or comments after the round starts. Tournament ace pot only in second round.

Club shirts & bag tags will also be available for pick up/purchase before & after the tournament. Sorry not at lunch.

WOW 56 CURRENT MEMBERS that is AWESOME!!!!! thanks Laura for all your help

OK what a HUGE turnout 73 players on fathers day who would have believed that.. I will post scores as soon as my father sends them to me tomorrow..

Olse wins open and also hits an ace on hole 6 with a nice hyzer..for a added $120 to his $205 payout

El chile wins master also aces hole #10 but his was during the first round where he was eligible for the added double R $500 ace so he netted $620 plus $160 for payout minus a little for his card mates. One classy guy.

Erron salazar aces hole # 2 his last hole and last throw of the tourney to take $120 and sneak into last place cash. for $40 more. .


Laura Coffey wins Open women.

Laura Hovery wins adv women


Again I cannot say THANK YOU enough to the people that sacrificed warming up or taking a nice break at lunch instead of doing things for the tournament. also my mom and dad for all they do. I will post full scores and the amount raised for the charity tomorrow . the real reason we were all there..

Glad to hear about the success.

now how about some freakin SCORES :p

Olse should have ponied up some money beforehand and become a dragon. :D

would not have mattered as he hit his in the second round as did Erron but the club ace pot was only good for the 1st round..

still waiting on them I will see what I can find in my truck.

ok the FPO and MPO are right but not any other divisions. Once I get the scores I will update. sorry


Partial Scores (http://pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=8129#Open)

Wow, Chile crushed. Maybe he should have played left-handed the last six holes to give you bums a chance? ;)

scores are up .. again thank you everyone that came out to play and support the charity.... YOU GUYS ROCK!!

Hey, what happened to the "goober" remark? ;)

Wow, who is that Brian Schmidt guy? I vaguely remember that name. :p

the edit feature is nice. :D

Fyi Ware, It looks like Orlando's scores are posted incorrect. I know he shot 4 down first round-not sure about second

ok thanks I will double check his scorecard. I only post what the score keeper sends me.

It was fun James, it was close and it was hot. Thanks to everyone who made this event happen (Ware's) :cool::cool:

Fyi Ware, It looks like Orlando's scores are posted incorrect. I know he shot 4 down first round-not sure about second



Yeah, I shot a 50 the 1st Round and a 53 the 2nd Round.

Hey, what happened to the "goober" remark? ;)

Wow, who is that Brian Schmidt guy? I vaguely remember that name. :p



Doesn't that guy putt upside down?

Doesn't that guy putt upside down?



He stands normally, but his putter is upside down. :D

thanks Jaime I fat fingered his score when uploading...

There was hole 1 were Brian was almost upside. just glad he did not get hurt...

I feel the love!

Great Father's Day, thanks Chris and family. Hey that Chile guy is pretty good! Congrats to all the winners!

no problem B it was a nice surprise to see you.

and a THANK YOU TO SOUTH AUSTIN DUCKS for their donation.

WOW all I can say is THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. we raised $3600 and there is no way this would have happened if it was not for the fellow disc golfers. There are too many people to thank but every little thing that was donated even if it was a disc or 2 made the raffle and silent auction that much better. again My family and I can only say THANK YOU and we hope the event was fun and you will come back next year.

Please send any and all comments good or bad on how you think the event went or can be improved.again becuase without the golfers there is no event nor $$ raised for the charity.. chris_ware@dell.com

and I still have not heard on whether the lunch was any good???

and the PDGA report has been submitted :D:p

Nice job Chris. Sorry I couldn't make it this year but I'll be there for the 6th Flying Solo!

Chris - I have another $200 for you. I'll have it tonight @ the mini. :)

nice thank you very much. so that makes it 3600. not too bad for a 1 day event. Lala tell your folks I said thank you very much

yes scott you wont want to miss the 6th annual ..

lunch was awesome!

Congratulations to the winner of each division - your name has been sent to Twin Parks Country Club in Dripping Springs. You will be issued a membership to Twin Parks for your great play in the Flying SoLo!!
