doodoo...i mean ditto :D

you should come up for this Teague, Daniel ran his 1st event very well.

I would love to play this one but, I have to work on the 13th. :mad:
Games Feedback Poll:

Thanks for setting up a poll Bert

Working on assigning the tees. The Pro and Adv will play the same boxes this time. Deciding the fate of the Adv division...........

what about the Bart/Circle C tournament? is it still going on.

Joe,

to be honest with you its just to hot for Bart right now. There isn't a gazebo or shelter of any kind and I don't have any staff.

I learned these things as I tried to get it started up earlier this month. What will happen though is I will make a limited field with tee times and I will not play. This will stink for me but it will be cool to acutally get one done there. I am thinking September or October.

I agree with you 100%, plus the tee boxes at Circle C would probably cause someone to get hurt.

Hey Everyone,

I believe online signups will be available this up coming week. We will run the same format as the Quickie. Pro's will play blue both rounds, adv&int will play white both rounds, and Women, Rec, Nov, and all Jr will play red.

The games will be the driving accuracy challenge, super d challenge, and vegas style ace pot. NO ring of fire this time. I am working on sponsors to give all divisions a chance at a CTP for both HILL and SHIRE courses. :D

Online signups are now available at DiscNation and Title Disc. Go and check it out!

If accessing discnation...
Go to http://www.discnation.com/product.php?productid=15557 for now. They are experiencing technical difficulties.

Title disc will be open for signups today.

Thanks You Title DISC and DiscNation

Hey what would everyone one say about having an island hole?

I want to rope off 18 on the SHIRE. If you don't make it in the dragon's mouth its an automatic retee!!! Holy you know what, that would be awsome!

We are for sure doing the super d challenge this time! So get out your baseball bat or golf club and start practicing in your backyard. You will need to run 35 feet, pick up a bat and spin 10 times then run back to the starting place and pick up your putter and throw.

This game has been tested and approved by the origional ninja himself! eL gUy

What about hole 12 on the HILL that goes straight down? Any takers???

:D, I didnt see anyone make the Dragons mouth on #18 Shire or land on the green on Park Hill #12 from the blues at your last event.

OK, hole 12 on the HILL is rather stupid because the wind is so unpredictable. I am sure everyone would like to have an ok round in the morning so we should scratch that one.

So Joe, are you saying it would be challenging and we should do it or its to difficult and we should pick another hole like......15 on the SHIRE. AKA the gauntlet

So Joe, are you saying it would be challenging and we should do it or its to difficult and we should pick another hole like......15 on the SHIRE. AKA the gauntlet

[/QUOTE]

on Shire #18 from the white tees it would be challenging and we should do it, but from the blue tees I think it would be too much.

I vote for hitting the green on the "Gauntlet" Shire #15,thats a good hole and its multi-tees so it would be fair for everybody.

I am probably screwing myself because at the last event I made the green on #18 (blue) and missed the green on #15.

setup a poll and lets take a vote.

I vote you island but then a 100 FT Drop Zone if you miss the re-tee

Looks like this island hole is going to happen. Still waiting on some votes though.

Anyone daring enough to attempt the C Tour with the ninjas just let us know. We will be traveling to Houston on Saturday to play Mozola then we will come back that night to prepare the the TPCC charity open. Two c tiers in one weekend!!!!

My feet are going to be hurtin'

where you leaving from and who is driving with you, D?

where you leaving from and who is driving with you, D?



Brother Leon is going, and maybe ProPutt. So there is room for two more people - maybe three if you are skinny :D

We are leaving from South Austin. Probably ProPutt's house.
You want on the TPCC list? we need a name like wall banger on the list!

brother Leon have you made it to the discussion board yet?

Hurry up man. I need to know if we have room for wallbanger aka Mr. T

Just got an email from the SOofT. They are super excited to have us raise money for them. Sure is a lot of paper work for this kind of fundraiser. I don't mind though. I think this is the first time disc golf has every supported them so they don't really know what to expect.

Neither do I except for a lot of people showing their support!

Hey everyone I just turned in my final for one of my classes this summer. Don't ever take Mass Communications online at ACC unless you like writing essays. I think I wrote a total of 30 essays in 5.5 weeks! ON top of that I just took a mid term exam in Philosophy. That class ROCS dude!

Now I can focus on this tournament

brother Leon have you made it to the discussion board yet?

Brother Leon is a lurker only. If he were to post, the world as we know it would cease to exist.

Lou, I was talking to Gill yesterday and he was saying he wanted to finally get his credentials. I think there was to much work involved so he lost interest. The lurker prevails

I ran into a old college buddy of mine. Looks like he wants to provide breakfast tacos at the country club. They are a little more expensive than your average taco but that is because they look like burittos.

I have stumbled on some buy one get one free cupons for Dominos Pizza. I plan on buying pizza for you guys as long as I get my money back! So there will be a donation box set up next to the pizza. Please be generious. Any extra money that is made will be put towards the Special Olympics.

wasted and its only thursday. I love three day weekends and God Bless America :cool:

Making an island hole on 18 would be a little much from the blue tees. It would need a drop zone. Otherwise people could empty their whole bag re-teeing .

D count me in for this tourney as well. I can't sign up until wednesday. Also the big hippie is a maybe at this point. He might be able to get off. We'll see. Where is the lurker!! I want to see a post! Can't keep it low down on the sneek tip forever.

Thanks for paying early Easy. This will help us stay on track in the morning.

If Hippie show's we are in for some competition man.

I got penalized for the first time. Took my card the wrong way and we played out of order. Atleast we only got 2 strokes. we were thinking six (2 per hole)

Mike G- way to shoot after your sat rounds.

James,

U playing this weekend?

Yea I believe the island hole will be number 15 on the SHIRE.

Thanks, Super D. And don't worry about the penalty - it was an easy mistake to make. I'm just glad Brother Leon noticed when he did.

Still not sure if I'll be able to make it to the quickie, but I'll let you know as soon as I do.

No problem if you can't but I will keep you on the list.

If we don't get a big Open field I will move the ADV to Blues.

Attn ADV Players: Bring your BOOM discs because I might change the Tee assignments. I will make the final call during the players meeting.

D, I think the adv should play the blues aswell. There should be no reason for us to play from the shorter tees.

What about the adv masters? Can they hang?

ADV play blues on both courses?

if blues

ADV masters, grandmasters will stay at the whites

Please contact me if you have something you would like to donate (discs, shirts, minis, hats, gift certificates). These will go towards the CTP on the course(s).

I have decided to help out one person every tournament that would like to play but can't afford the entry fee. For all of you that can afford a dollar or 50 cents or what ever, there will be a collection during signup to donate to this great cause.

So if your carma isn't very good right now you can cash in on this opportunity. What ever the difference is in the end I will cover. (this week's entry has already been picked)

Bought for you by Super D himself!!!

I am choosing the delegate. There was one die hard player that fit the description for this type of jackpot. If there is more than one next time, which there will be now that the jackpot exists, I will do a drawing and contact the winner the day of the cut off. The winner will be contacted so their identity stays hush hush. This may be a bad idea but everything is worth trying once.

nice job, D.

Call me tomorrow and ill have something for the CTP.

Thank you Mr. T

Thanks to everyone being proactive in the efforts to raise donations for the CTP and entry fee. I have already had some positive feedback on this one so it looks like we will be successful.

We will also take in donations at the local minis (Bart, zilker, and pease park and who ever is willing)

donations will cease once the fund has been met.


Thanks,

Super D

Still have room for Houston/Austin C TOUR!

Any takers?

D-Towners where you at?

You think you know the rules? Well test your knowledge by taking a quiz.

I am putting together a quiz that will cover some of the rulings I have encountered over the past few years. The answers will be multiple choice and I will post the answers between rounds.

This is in efforts to help with the common rules that are broken time after time and to help you learn something new!

what time are you guys leaving on saturday morning?

what time are you guys leaving on saturday morning?



The C-TOUR will depart at 5:00am to arrive in Houston before 8:00am. This will give us time to warm up and wake up cause I am sure you'll be sleeping on the way there!

Anyone want to jam out at the country club? Its open if you do. Just call and request

Round trip to from Austin to Houston $20

A chance to win two tournaments in one weekend... Priceless

Rumor has it that there is going to be a possible K-DUB and El Jefe sighting at this one

Daniel, did I win the free entry? or are you using me as a decoy for the open division. :D

I have no Idea what you are trying to translate to the world so if you could, please speak in lamen terms.

another words, what the heck are you talking about man? :confused:

good luck with that we have been trying to figure out what that guy has been saying since we meet him :D

OK fella's we have filled the spots for the C Tour this weekend. Heck, we can squeeze one more if you don't mind squeezing in with ProPutt and The Moon. This is up to the guys, I guess.

Just saw ProPutt on the roster so good deal man. Looks like the meeting place will be at ProPutt house since he lives the closest to the hwy.

Is Steady Led Pipe on the roster for the C-tour? I might just have to meet you guys in h-town but not sure. I need to find out for sure pretty quick b/c birdshot are as*h**e* when it comes to late sign ups after thursday

Steady Led is not on the roster this go around. He will be there on Sunday though.

I told the TDs that I was not able to pay by Thursday and they said to just mail in a check. If you want I will give you the address and you can go that route. You can even ask for a late deposit. Just call the contact "chuck" from the tournament info link on the tour page and they will take care of you.

Daniel: Waterloo DGC will have something to donate for the CTPs, I'll bring it with me to League tomorrow night at Zilker.

Thank You for coming through Waterloo! We can always depend on austin's local disc golf community development board.

See ya Thursday!

The island hole will be on 15 on the shire. For those that can't reach the pin I will make it easier on you. The island will have a runway that will stretch from the tee box to the circle surrounding the basket. Everyone will have one chance to throw and if you fail to land safely on the island you must go to the drop zone.

I will make the drop zone close enough for anyone to make it (approx. 60 feet)

So is that cool or what?

D, Hippie and EasyE are signed up!! See you Sunday

Thanks for signing up early!

what did you decided? blues or whites

Blues seeing as though it is the "advanced" division!!!!!!! The only thing seperating open and adv is a few putts :)
I should be in Austin Friday nite and plan to play tpcc sat.....can i pay sat at course? anyone else planning a sat round?

i just paid on titledisc so that takes care of that.

I will be in Houston on Sat but you can bet on some folks practicing Sat so don't worry about that.

I like your opinion about the blues. I will consider it like the rest.

Easy, we are not playing the blues as of now.

I will let you know Sun morning.

Besides, you have more ace opportunities on the whites

Ah hell, now they're on to me...

ace holes are for ace races!! Lets play GOLF. Everyone would have to play the same holes so increasing the difficulty of the hole will increase scoring spreads and seperate the men from the boys :) maybe some of the adv players will realize they can hang with the open players. If u dont play the same holes u cant compare ur game and well u'll never know just how good u are :)

I know Wally Gagger aint skeered to play the blus

btw there are several adv players rated higher than half the open players signed up. :)

D, the only reason that I think we should be playing the blues as well is for ratings. Jeff is right, the only thing that separates us from the pros is putting. I don't really care about the ace as much as I care about playing the course and getting a good rating from it.

Should the ADV division play the blues this weekend?

The Power is in your hands people!

You can't really compare how you would have done vs. the pros by playing the blues.
It is a different head game.

There is definitely more room for a spread though.

D... my house is closest to our exit route for Houston. I am at the corner of Ben White and 35. Pro Putt is way back on Brodie. Just a thought, we can park three cars in front for the day. Llama me

Sorry I'm not used to calling him Pro Putt, I meant to type 1039!!!

I spoke with Gill last night. He's totally cool with it.

I have not spoke to proputt in weeks so I will let Gill pass on the news.

Lurker--Tell ProPutt.

What is a good time for yall? 5am departure or 4:30?

You know he has the highest ratings for an AM in the Memorial, ever!

Be here 4:30 to 5. Dawn patrol heads out to H-town. We gotta get G-unit, Bratten, Hall, and Soete to come to our stomping grounds if we're going to theirs.

Dawn Patrol - 4:45 departure, fyi radio is not working :(
I'm sure you can sing for us Moon or just bring the guitar and we'll sing...or...bring a book!

DiscNation, Twin Parks, M. Tasker and some other local disc golfers have made donations for each division to recieve a CTP opportunity.

We are more likely to play the Austin event than the Houston one. :D

that's the spirit Matt. come on down to Austin

My wife and I just signed up through Titledisc. See you all on Sunday. :cool::)

what there no head game going on in adv.......ahhhhhh ur thinkin of the cash. Green can and does get in ur head.

Scooter u playing in this one? If so looks like I'll have to move up, I can't let u whoop up on the other open players alone :)

"The only thing separating open and adv is a few putts"

I that is the case just hit a few more putts and play open.

easier said than done young grasshopper.

Ive played open in the past and am considering moving up. We will see Sun morning.

Take the poll you whiners

the island hole is official. I will have a landing strip from the tee box to the basket. There will be a 30 foot circle surrounding the basket. If you don't make the circle the first try then you have to go to the drop zone. It will be a 60 foot putt!

This time around if no one hits the ACE there will be three baskets to throw at. If no one makes it like Caley did last time, we will have three CTP spots that will throw off for the ACE POT $$$.

the Baskets will be layed out in thirty feet distances from the origional basket.

One will be 30 longer and the other will be 30 closer.

HOW LATE CAN I SIGN UP??? :confused:

You can sign up on titledisc through tomorrow or pay at the country club this weekend. You can pre register at the country club. I perfer pre registration but I will accept late sign ups. That means you have to be there no later than 7:30am.

God knows we are never going to get on the tee box at 8 but thats the plan and I am sticking to it.

the island hole is official. I will have a landing strip from the tee box to the basket. There will be a 30 foot circle surrounding the basket. If you don't make the circle the first try then you have to go to the drop zone. It will be a 60 foot putt!



Hardcore and I just installed the island hole.

Let me explain:

It is 240 feet to the basket from the tee for all divisions. The island starts 30 feet infront of you and goes 15ft wide at the beginning then expands to 25-30 feet in the middle. The largest is around the basket to the left and right at 60ft max but you are OB if you go over 6 feet past the basket.

The drop zone is located outside the island approx. 80 feet on the left from the tee box to the large tree in the middle of the fairway. Its about 150 ft throw. If you don't make the island you must retee until you do. Once you make the island you have to shoot from the last place the disc went OB. So just make the island once and from there you can take it from where you went out.

This way you can't run it and just drop behind the basket for an easy 3. Good luck everyone and I hope you get some practice in on it before the second round starts.

Looking forward to this event. I thank each and everyone of you for participating in this charity event.

Wish us luck On the C Tour. We depart at 5am!

D the ratings look a little off for the rec. 1015 just doesn't sound right.

also, just wanted to thank you again for a great tourney. Keep up the good work. I'll catch you at Bart on Tuesday.

nice win bagger

D the ratings look a little off for the rec. 1015 just doesn't sound right.



I just updated the ratings format but now there isn't a rating for the other divisions. I know the Open and ADV ratings are correct but the others will have to be worked on.

Almost a 1000 rated round Easy. Nice consistant game you played yesterday afternoon.

Please thank the staff of TPCC every chance you get. They busted their bottoms serving 54 hot and crazy golfers this Sunday and the amount of work they do sometimes goes unnoticed.

Remember to check out the membership deals they have going on and help support the club so it can stay a success. No one else in Texas has what we have here in Austin so lets keep on supporting people like them.

I also want to thank Waterloo Disc Golf Club, Disc Nation, TitleDisc The Ninjas, All the out-of-towners that came to support the charity. We raised 275 dollars for the Special Olympics Texas.

The players fund was almost a success. We raised 20 dollars for one of the ADV players to play. We will work out something for the 100 holes of hell.

The Vegas Style Ace Pot was CRAZY. We had three baskets set at 170 200 and 230. John Frost gambled 10 dollars of his money and stuck the middle basket on his last one. The three baskets allowed three throw offs for the 50, 30, 20 split on the 215 dollar pot. John also parked another basket so he got to throw twice in the money. Brother Leon got the third chance and walked away with some money. Congradulations to (Laser) Leon and John for competing against 200 throws.

I recieved the ctp prizes monday. I want to make sure all the women, yes that means the both of you, to get a disc. Please let me know. Alex and one other person needs one to. Unfortunally I couldn't get he destroyer but there's some disc craft and DGA that you might find yummee
