Although specifics are still being worked out I wanted to float the date for potential conflicts. I'm looking to host a fun filled disc golf camping extravaganza the weekend of October 30th - November 1st. I checked the PDGA schedule and there are (2) events in Texas that weekend. 100 holes of hell in Red Rock and The Venterans tourney in Arlington. Although Ventrans is a sweet event and we will likely lose a couple of people who go play in that one, I still think it is a good weekend. The weather should be great for camping. Please le me know if you think this is a good weekend.

sounds great dude. . . i am excited to see what might turn out.
Any ideas for activities while we are out there. . . maybe a little 9 hole disc golf course, volleyball, ultimate frisbee. . . etc

9 hole course? I was thinking more along the lines of a custom designed course (by the club staff) for an 18 hole course with minis and night frolf.

There is also FREE fishing at all Texas State Parks (no license required). Stacey and I caught some nice bass last year while we were out there. This park is awesome and I can't wait to go back. Great idea Scott!!! ;)

Who: SADC Club Members, Family, & Friends
What: SADC Camping Extravaganza
Where: Garner State Park
When: October 30th - November 1st

Basically it will be a group camping event. The park is beautiful and is only 90 miles from SA. As Orlando mentioned the Rio Frio runs through the park and creates some great fishing opportunities. Also the park has stands of mature trees in the camping area so we'll be able to setup a temp course for some really fun golfing events. The park is also great for biking and hiking and has its own mini putt putt ball golf course. This is one event you will not want to miss.

I'll post all of the specifics about how to get signed up next week.

This park is beautiful with plenty to do like hiking and 2 caves to explore!!! I can't wait for this event, we're there!!!

All participants are required to reserve their own campsites with the Texas Parks & Wildlife Park Reservation Department at (512) 389-8900. Garner is a very popular park and you are encouraged to make your reservations as soon as possible to secure your spot. Since this is a SADC sponsored event we're encouraging everyone to reserve campsites in same general area. This will help when we setup the temp course through the campsites. Club members should reserve camp sites in the River Crossing and/or Shady Meadows Camping Areas. These areas are within walking distance of the river, rest rooms, & showers. They sit in a groove of medium and old growth trees perfect 18 - 36 holes.
Note: When reserving camp sites at Garner you can�t actually reserve a specific site. You can reserve a type of site, then sites are given out on a first come, first serve basis based on arrival. As a result we recommended getting to the park early on your arrival day to secure a prime spot.

In addition to making your reservation with the park, we�re also asking that you contact Scott Hougland with your reservation information. Scott will be coordinating with the Park Staff and event organizers. Understanding how many people will be there will help us better understand how to plan activities. Scott�s contact info is below.

I'm second guessing Holloween weekend after a couple of people express they have family obligations that weekend. I want as many people as possible to attend so I am open to selecting a different weekend if that works best. Thoughts?

Whatever dates are chosen, make it quick so reservations can be made (or canceled and remade as the case may be).

At this point we are sticking with that date. I haven't heard any more negative feedback so your reservation is safe :D.

I've created a website for this event. Check it out.

Nice!
I can help with the planning and organizing.
Let me know what you need.

We'll definately want a few people to come early to help design a temp course to be used that weekend. I am planning on heading out there either late Thursday or early early early Friday. Still TBD. I've started a player's list on the webiste.

Don't forget about this one ...

I'm trying to convince my wife's cousin to reschedule their wedding so I can attend this event.

To make things worse, the wedding is in IOWA. Just kidding Scott.

OK SADCers I need to start getting a handle on how many people will be attending this. If you are planning on coming let me know so we make sure to bring enough supplies and goodies :D

Me and possibly 2 buddies.

Stacey and I are in and possibly 2 friends.:)

Thanks guys!

I've updated the Players List:http://sites.google.com/site/sadccamping/home/players-list

FYI ... when you call to get the camping reservation the area we are looking at is in New Garner not Old Garner :).

For those that want to turn this into a powerhouse camping adventure, I'll be arriving at the park on Thursday. If you want to come out Thursday and/or Friday you have at least a couple people to hang with. I can't express enough how amazing this park is .. you don't want to miss it.

Don't forget there is FREE fishing at Garner State Park (NO Fishing License Required). Stacey and I went last year in October and caught around 10-15 Largemouth Bass that were all 15 inches or a little bigger. These Bass were healthy. I can't wait to get some lines back in the Frio. We are going to take our deep fryer with us and have some fresh fish if we get lucky again this year.:D

We'll have free tourneys with prizes. I'm also working on trying to get some other really cool door prizes for those that make it.

We reserved our screened shelter last week and can't wait for this trip. I'll have some HomeBrew to add to the Door Prize Giveaways. You don't have to buy raffle tickets to win stuff....just show up. You don't have to be a club member to attend...EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO JOIN US.:) Bring your fishing rods.;)

FYI ... I'll be out there Thursday at some point and all day Friday & Saturday. If you have a basket, bring it for the temp course!

There is an 18 hole course At the H E B foundation camp in Leakey about 15 miles from garner.The camp is closed but there is still staff there that might let you guys play.otherwise u should be able to set up a nice course at GSP.Have fun.

I called the camp and asked the lady there about a disc golf course :confused:

HEB Foundation Camp (ECHO VALLEY).They might pull the course when they are closed .I have played it several times and it is pretty cool.You guys will have a blast at garner.there is also a place to ride horses a few miles from garner.Have Fun

I don't think the lady knew what she was talking about. She sounded bry confused when I said disc golf she said we don't have a golf course. I said no not golf, disc golf or frisbee golf. I don't think she got it. I'll have time to kill on Thursday so I might just head up there and see what I can find.

Also those camping bring some shower supplies. They have a VERY NICE shower setup at the park.

Also, you probably won't be able to call me out there, the reception is spotty at best. I'll be at the New River Crossign camp group in one of the screened shleters. Look for the Texas Disc Golf Flag

Looks like we'll have a lot of baskets out there but can always use more. If you are coming out and have a basket, please bring it.

Jerry Chesterson is bringing 4 baskets (one is riding w/ Corey)
BWARE is bringing 2 baskets
Bird is bringing 1 basket

That's a minimum of 7, which we'll easily be able to setup a 21 hole course on! Can't wait for some Saturday night Glow golf! Bring your lose change for WOLF!

C'mon Saturday....I can't wait. I'll bring a case of HomeBrew with me. I am bottling another 5 gallons tonight but I don't think she'll be ready by this weekend. You never know....I'll do some quality control;) later this week and see how the taste and carbonation are. I'll also have some extra fishing rods with me so if you don't have one come and see me and I'll hook you up. See everyone on Saturday morning.

So who's wearing a costume?

I'm going as DISCMAN (which is just a frisbee with to holes for my eyes cut out for a mask).

Great time this weekend. I only wish more of you could have made it. It was a blast!

We had 14 people come out for the trip. This event will definately be a recurring one. Maybe we can switch it to a different park next year ... or maybe not. Garner is awesome this time of year.

Awesome time other than the frozen feet I woke up with Saturday morning.:eek:
My vote is to have it again at Garner.
That place was perfect for a temp course camping extravaganza.

All thanks go to Scott for organizing this outing!:)
