Wow, mid-August already! This means we are less than 2 months away from the 33rd Annual Waterloo Disc Golf Classic, Waterloo Park, Austin, TX, Oct 16-17, 2010.

General Registration won�t open for another few weeks yet, so now is the perfect time to reserve your spot in this fun and historic tournament by taking the Father Dave McC-Note Challenge. Full details are below. 6 people are already in, and around now is when a bunch more start sending in their McC-Notes to reserve their spots.

Our 2010 Father Dave McC-Noters so far are:

Mark Penniman; Jan Baumgardner; Jerry Perez, Sr.; Jeff Moore; Larry Kruse; Bert Lirette

See you at Waterloooooooooooo

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It�s Father Dave McC-Note Time

The way it works is this: send the Waterloo Club a check or money order for $100 now. Your spot in the tournament is guaranteed. When fees for the different divisions are set, we will deduct from your $100:

your entry fee
ace pot
ring-of-fire
non-active pdga fee (if applicable)

All the money left goes directly to the charity. In 2009, there were 65 McC-Note Challengers (even though a few ended up cancelling, this was still nearly two-thirds of the field). This added over $2500 to the total charitable donation!

To clarify something that has come up occasionally: this money saves �your� spot, not �a� spot. Once the tournament fills up and there is a waitlist, if you have to cancel you can�t just give your spot to someone else. As with any cancellation, the spot goes to the next person on the waitlist. If you do have to cancel, you will receive a refund of everything except what would have gone to the charity (and that money will still be added to the donation).

Don�t wait too long and end up missing out on this wonderful event. Send in your money now and you won�t have to worry about it filling up without you.

Send your check or money order, payable to WDGC, to:
WDGC
PO Box 33531
Austin, TX 78764

Please include your full name, division, and pdga number (if you have one).

Thanks!!!

Dear Sponsor,

The Waterloo Disc Golf Club is proud to announce that it is hosting the 33rd Annual Waterloo Disc Golf Classic at Waterloo Park in Austin, Texas. This historic disc golf tournament is the longest running tournament in the Southwestern U.S. and one of the oldest in the country. This year the dates are set for October 15-17, 2010. The 33rd Waterloo Classic will again benefit the Austin Ronald McDonald House (RMH).

The RMH is a wonderful non-profit, charitable organization that provides a home away from home for families with critically ill children undergoing treatment at area hospitals. This allows parents the chance to be close to their children when they are needed most.

Thanks to the support of our great sponsors, we have donated more than $65,000 in cash and supplies to RMH over the last twelve years. The goal for 2010 is to raise $9,000. Won�t you please help by being a sponsor of this wonderful tournament? Sponsorship can be in the form of cash, merchandise, or a combination of the two.

� For a sponsorship of $200 or more: your logo or name on the back of the official tournament shirt, plus on a tee-box sign. This sign will be seen by all of the competitors each time that they play the course. Your logo/name will also be added to the Sponsor List that will be displayed at the course and included in the program distributed to all the players and spectators.

� For $100 - $199: your name on a tee-box sign and on the Sponsor List.

� For up to $99: your name on the Sponsor List.

Please mail all sponsorship to Waterloo Disc Golf Club, PO Box 33531 Austin, TX, 78764 (checks payable to WDGC). If you wish, you may make your check payable directly to Austin Ronald McDonald House in order to get the tax benefits of a charitable donation. For more information, please contact Stevo Barnes at 512-451-2064, or Gordon Maxim-Kelley at 512-858-1615 ([email protected]).

Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

Gordon Maxim-Kelley

33rd Waterloo Registration is now OPEN

Below is the flyer for the 33rd Annual Waterloo Disc Golf Classic. If you are interested in playing, please mail in your registration with payment as soon as possible. This event fills up every year, and it has been known to fill within as few as 5 days after registration begins, though it sometimes takes a bit longer, like 7,10, or 14 days to fill up. Anyway, don�t wait. If you aren�t sure if you can play, my advice is to register anyway. If you have to cancel, you�ll get almost a complete refund. The only thing we�d keep is the portion that goes to the fundraising and it will still go towards the fundraising ($4 for regular registrations; amount varies by division for McC-Notes). Plus you�ll make someone on the waitlist very very happy :)

Mailing the form and payment in is the BEST way to register. Postmarks are used to determine date of entry. You can also register in person at any Club event like the Thursday Zilker minis/league; the September monthly mini - time and park still TBA; or a general club meeting � one is hopefully happening soon. (assuming spots are still available at that point).

Father Dave came to me in a dream recently, and with his inspiration the player's package will be over the top this year. ;) Not sure how many spots are left, so don't delay. I know I'm excited to be playing this year!

Thanks!

It is either really close to full, or maybe already full, depending on how many entries are already in the mail that just haven't arrived yet (or arrived today).

Sep 30 2010, 12:37 PM
Sorry for all the delays and lack of information about Waterloo. It always sucks that right around the time so much of the Waterloo stuff is bearing down, our company's fiscal year-end happening too (Sep 30th). Ah, the joys of being the "money guy". Unfortunately, neither one of those things is going to change. Ce la vie.

But, that fiscal year-end is over at the end of today so on to Waterlooooooooo!

We hope to have the player's list posted on the pdga site soon. Here is the link (though right now no info is up) http://www.pdga.com/event?TournID=10957

The tournament is full and the waitlist is going strong. I have sent out all of the confirmation for the people who made it in except for a few that don't have email. If you have entered but not gotten a confirmation (and aren't on the list) please contact me and let me know.

If you'd like to be added to the waitlist, just let me know. The best ways are to send me a PM through the PDGA DISCussion Board or the Waterloo Club website, send me an email at [email protected] or call me at home (512) 858-1615 and leave a message on the machine (even in Austin you may need the area code as I live in Dripping Springs and somephone companies consider that "long distance" - sheesh )

If someone withdraws, we will contact the next person on the waitlist.

I just need your name and contact info (email and/or phone number). It can help to know your division (for when we make up scorecards), but that won't affect whether or not you get in. We don't have set numbers of people in a division, so... for example: it won't help to be willing to play pro when you normally play advanced. If there is a spot for you, we'll get you in regardless of your division.

If you clear the waitlist before the tournament gets here, I'll contact you about it. Otherwise, the only thing you have to do is be there Saturday morning at tourney HQ when check-in closes at 8:30 am. Tournament HQ is at the wooden deck near Trinity & E. 13th Street. If anyone drops out at the last minute or hasn't checked in, we'll drop them and fill their spot with someone from the waitlist.

If you are on the waitlist, don't despair. Even if you are far down on the list, there is always hope. At least twice in the last few years, everyone on the list who chose to show up Saturday morning actually made it in. However, to be fair in expectations, we have had other years where not many folks (or none) have cancelled and so not many on the waitlist made it in.

Thanks,
Gordon

We have a ton of WONDERFUL sponsors for Waterloo this year. I'm always amazed and thrilled by the outpouring of support for this great event.

We still have room for more though, and we'd love you, your company, your club (heck, all of the above) to be a part of it too. I'll be making the program tomorrow evening, so if you aren't on the list and you'd like to sponsor, I need to know by 5:30 pm tomorrow afternoon. There is also still time to make a tee sign for you if you are sponsoring at the $100 or more level.

Thanks again!

Almost live because it will only occur after each round after the scores are checked. This will depend on finding either a Wi-Fi or someone to tether off of. This will be for the 4 main rounds and not doubles. Enjoy!

Yea! Sponsors.

Played a practice round this morning and the course is looking GREAT. As always putting will be the end all, be all for Waterloo success.

Lots of trees have been removed, shrubs trimmed low.

Hole #3 has been turned into a hyzer bomb for right hand throwers (not that I could get past the gazeebo), the abilia(sp?) shrubs that surround the basket are all trimmed down to 2/3ft.

Hole 6 and 10 need some work but, it looks like the Parks department is working on 10 (just not while I was there).

No UT game, weather looks to be great, good times with good people. Can't wait, my one golf tournament this year.

Thank you Sponsors, and thank you Gordon!

Things you need to know about this year�s
Waterloo Disc Golf Classic, Oct 15-17, 2010

Tournament Check-In:

Waterloo Park is located in downtown Austin. It is bordered by E.15th, Red River, E.12th, and Trinity. Tournament HQ is on the wooden deck near Trinity & E.13th.

This is VERY IMPORTANT! Everyone registered for the main singles tournament must check-in either Friday October 15th between 1 pm and dark, or Saturday morning October 16th between 7:30 am � 8:30 am. Anyone not checked in by 8:30 am on Saturday will be dropped from the tournament and the spot will be filled by someone on the waitlist. The tournament is too popular, too fun, and usually has too big a waitlist to let a spot go unclaimed. If you are on the waitlist, you must be at tourney HQ at 8:30 am on Saturday. If your name is called and you aren�t there, we go to the next person on the list.

Please try to check in on Friday, as it will make Saturday morning go much more smoothly if we don�t have as many people to run through the process.

Everyone playing the main tournament will receive a great player�s package.

Juniors who want to play Waterloo: We will register Juniors on Friday during check-in or on Saturday morning during the first round. Juniors will play one round per day in-between the main rounds. The cost is $20 and they�ll receive some stuff for signing up plus we�ll make sure that every kid who plays wins at least something. The number of kids and their ages will determine whether we have different divisions or not.

Doubles:

Friday October 15th, flex start 1 pm � 4:30/4:45 -ish. Open to everyone, $10 per person, bring your own partner. BE THERE EARLY! THE EARLIER THE BETTER. We will have to stop teeing teams off around 4:30 � 4:45 pm, so that everyone who starts will be able to finish before dark. This is very important! Just because you arrive by 4:30/4:45 doesn�t mean you will be in time to play. You need to be there early enough so that you are teeing off by that time. If a bunch of people all show up at 4:15/4:30 and there are multiple groups waiting to tee off on hole #1, then some of those teams likely won�t get to play. Results will be posted as soon as possible on Saturday. Awards for doubles can be picked up after lunch on Saturday the 16th or anytime on Sunday the 17th. Leave contact info when signing up if you won�t be around on Sunday. In 2009, we pushed over 80 teams through on Friday, so the course plays fairly quickly. Show up early for the best chance to play, don�t wait until late in the afternoon and take the risk on being turned away. Cards will be limited to 2 teams to keep things flowing smoothly.

You can play more than once, but you must play in a different division AND with a different partner. (no longer will one team take 1st and 2nd, or 1st in both open and masters  ). There will be an optional ace pot for doubles, $2 per person. If no aces are hit on Friday then the money will go towards the fundraising.

If you want to play on Friday, you should sign up and play doubles. Otherwise you�ll have to wait until after about 4:30 - 4:45 pm. This is when we�ll stop teeing off the doubles teams. You�ll need to start on hole #1, behind the doubles teams (not just anywhere in the course that looks open). We always battle to get as many doubles teams as possible through the course before dark, so just like on Saturday and Sunday we can�t have them waiting on casual players.

Directions and Parking for Waterloo:

If you are coming from IH-35, head towards downtown. Take the E.15th Street exit. Go west (turn left if you are driving north, right if you are driving south). The next traffic light is Red River, you will see the park on your left (the Erwin Special Events Center is on your right).

If you are headed for the parking garage, go two more blocks and turn left on San Jacinto. San Jacinto is a One-Way street going south. Go two blocks and turn left on E. 13th, the entrance to the garage is immediately on your left. You can also enter this same garage from Trinity, right across from the deck (Trinity is a One-Way street going north). Be sure to read parking info below - we don't want anyone getting ticketed or towed.

Parking shouldn�t be too difficult this weekend. On Friday, the state parking garages on Trinity, across the street from the park, will not be available until after 5 pm. On Saturday and Sunday, they should be available for free parking at all times (at least that�s what we know of right now). For other parking, there is a small lot in the park (enter off of 12th Street) that will be free all 3 days. There are also parking meters on Red River, 12th, 13th, and 14th streets, and some on Trinity and Brazos. You will have to pay the meters on Friday until about 5 or 6 pm, but they should be free the rest of the weekend (be sure to check the actual meter for exact times you must pay).

Charity Fundraising:

Just like last year, we are going to have two auctions instead of one. We will have one auction on Saturday and second, completely separate, auction on Sunday. On Saturday morning, we�ll put out a bunch of items. They will be on display on the deck, and there will be a bid sheet by each item. Bidding will close at the end of the day on Saturday so when your second round is over, be sure to hang around, make some final bids, and collect your winnings. We�ll do the same thing on Sunday with a whole new set of items, and we�ll close Sunday�s auction at the beginning of the awards ceremony. The silent auctions will have all sorts of great things from the small, to the large, to the really cool collectible.

Giant Raffle: Typically our raffle has over $1,000 worth of prizes, and tickets are only $1, or you can get 6 tickets for $5. Grand Prize is a basket! Raffle tickets will drawn during the 4th round on Sunday afternoon, so you can buy them all the way up until the start of that round. Winning numbers will be posted by the end of the round, and you can collect your prizes anytime after that. You do not need to be present to win a raffle prize. If you aren�t going to be there Sunday afternoon, just put your name and phone number on the back of the ticket and we will contact you after the tournament.

Proceeds from the raffle and auction go to fundraising, so bring lots of extra cash and your check book.

We also will have a box at Tournament HQ all weekend to collect canned, boxed, or packaged foods, toys for the kids, household items and every-day necessities such as toiletries, etc. These items will be used by the families that stay at the house. We will have a big box for collection, so please go through your pantry and bring out some stuff.

The Ring-of-Fire will be held Saturday afternoon, immediately before the 2nd round (hopefully about 2:00 pm). It is $2 to play, and all proceeds go to the fundraising. Everyone is eligible to play: staff, spectators, and players. You can sign up at check-in, or all the way up to the time we start it. Ring-of-Fire is a series of putting games, and it is really fun to play. It is also fun to watch, so even if you aren�t playing, stick around to see it.

There will be NO MULLIGANS this year. Instead, the tournament is taking part in the PDGA�s Competition Endowment Program. This means that the $2 per-player PDGA fee, plus the $10 non-active member fee, is being donated to the charity instead of going to the PDGA. Thanks PDGA!!!

McHouse Concrete Challenge: Double R Disc Golf Club hosts this fun and challenging event. It is held on Hole #5 during the 4th round only (Sunday�s 2nd round). Double R will pay out 5-1 if you can make your disc come to rest on the concrete picnic table. The basket will be on top of the table, but anywhere on the concrete will win you 5 times what you bet. Give them $1 and win $5. Give them $20 and win $100. Good Luck!

Miscellaneous:

The Tayloe Toe Throw contest will be on Sunday afternoon, right before the 4th round (hopefully about 1:30 pm). It is free to everyone who wants to play, and we�ll have some prizes for the longest throws. Great to watch as well; very silly, very fun!

When can you play the course if you aren�t in the tournament?
For those folks that aren't in the singles, and really want a chance to play the regular course with baskets, there are the usual lunch breaks on Saturday & Sunday when the players will be off the course. The Juniors will be playing the course then, but that is usually only a card or two or three. Ring-of-Fire and the Tayloe Toe Toss might affect a few of the holes, but not many. You�ll need to stop playing when you hear the two minute warning for the afternoon round.

The times of the lunch breaks are hard to guess, but we hope that the course will be available around 12:30 � 2:30 on Saturday and noon � 2:00 on Sunday. If you show up and there are still players on the course, wait until things are completely clear before starting. We�ll be on a tight schedule all weekend and can�t really afford delays.

If you want to play on Friday, you should sign up and play doubles. Otherwise you�ll have to wait until after about 4:30 - 4:45 pm. This is when we�ll stop teeing off the doubles teams. You�ll need to start on hole #1, behind the doubles teams (not just anywhere in the course that looks open). We always battle to get as many doubles teams as possible through the course before dark, so just like on Saturday and Sunday we can�t have them waiting on casual players.

email from Gordon:

Hi Y’all,
Something I forgot to mention earlier, but as many of you know, this is likely the last year we will see and play Waterloo Park as we know it. Soon it will be torn up and rebuilt for the Waller Creek Tunnel Project, and our course will probably be very very different when the park is rebuilt.
So…
Please take lots of pictures and videos with your cameras and phones this weekend. Afterwards, we’ll try to gather it all together and do something cool with it. Maybe a DVD or something?
This will be one to remember, so please help us capture it on film.
Thanks!
Gordon

Almost live scores will be available online at the following URL:

Almost live because it will only occur after each round after the scores are checked. This will depend on finding either a Wi-Fi or someone to tether off of. This will be for the 4 main rounds and not doubles. Enjoy!


How many aces were hit today? Sounded like crazyness all over the course. Especially during the second round. WOW!:D
