TitleDISC Squite Shoot
Key InfoMar 29 2009
Mesquite, TX
Come shoot some squite!

The City of Mesquite has invited us back again!

Given the success of the Mesquite Open last year, we are going to use the same format for this tournament. BYOP Flex-start Doubles all day on Saturday, then the 2-round C-tier event on Sunday. 21 holes of Paschal Park goodness, including the popular alternate holes and the championship tees for Pro and Advanced divisions!

Sponsorship opportunities are available as usual - contact [e-mail] if you're interested in advertising through this tournament

Get signed up early! This event should fill well in advance, as we can only hold 105 players. Rec Men will be limited to 30 players, and we will have 10 spots guaranteed for Open, until the day before the event. If Open spots are still available on Saturday the 28th, we will start letting people in off of the waiting list.

We will have our huge stock of awesome TitleDISC gear. With more molds from more brands of plastic than ever before, we will have something for everyone. Be sure to check us out, even if you can't spend all day!

**NOTE** Rec Men has been capped at 30 players, and is now full. There is still plenty of room left in the other divisions!

A PDGA-Sanctioned B-Tier Party!

We are proud to announce the 2nd Annual TitleDISC Open!

We are holding this event at Harry Myers Park just like last year, but we have made one huge change: it's now in April! Last year everyone had a blast but the heat and chiggers got to some folks. Moving it up 6 weeks will hopefully alleviate most of those two environmental issues.

We're sticking with the very popular one-day-on-Sunday format, with flex-start doubles all day on Saturday. This gives everyone a chance to come experience Rockwall Disc Golf!

Both events will feature the modified 20-hole layout, including the now-infamous island hole. That means we absolutely cannot hold more than 100 players. This tournament filled *two weeks* in advance last year, so sign up ASAP to ensure your spot!

10 spots guaranteed for Open, and no field will be allowed to get larger than 25 players. We want every division to have a chance at a hefty turnout, so if we get to 25 in one division, it will be closed. Absolutely no registrations will be taken the morning of this event, so even if we don't sell out early, the players list will be set as of Saturday night, 4/25.

Get signed up today!
--Saturday 4/25--
8:30-6:00 flex-start BYOP doubles

The C-Tier in Athens, The Paul Giles Memorial, is being run by Jerry Power this year (in years past it has been run by Maceman and Brian James). You can register online at TitleDisc.com - If you go to the discussion on pdga.com or the discussion on the TitleDisc site, you can find info on hotels etc. The Athens guys (and I) have decided to increase the tournament ace pot by at least $100 from our own ace pot funds. There are still plenty of open spots so sign up and we'll see you there! We would like a lot of people to attend, as the more players attend the more benefit money we can give to this year's recipient (who has been on the discgolf scene for at least 20 years). We will also be holding a silent auction for any who attend as well. Please everyone attend that can! Hope to see you at the Giles - and bring all the lady golfers you can!

I had an errand to run in the Mid Cities last Saturday, so I thought I would take advantage of being over there to play some courses I could add to my courses played list. I, by my own definition, have never seen a bad DG course, but these were kinda sad:

Tom and Sue Brown Park, NRH: 6 short holes. Took a Roc, Aviar and a putter, and felt like I was carrying too many discs. Nice neighborhood though.

Haslet Community Park: A new course, put in what probably used to be a pasture. It has Houck signs, but I doubt he designed it. Each of the 9 holes had three tees, with the two alternates stacked about 30 and 60ft directly behind the concrete tee. On holes 6-8, the last tee sign was, I kid you not, about 2 disc lengths away from a barbed wire fence. Talk about a short runup.

Last stop was Willow Creek Park in Saginaw(?) 9 holes again; well actually 7 since #1 and #9 were missing. #2 basket was in the only place in the park that had an open area of standing water. Good thinking there. Had to tread lightly through a marsh to play the rest of the course.

Needless to say, I won't be back to those courses. I still need to hit Greenbrier (18 holes now right?), Eagle Ranch (just to say I have done it), Crowley and Weatherford, and that will about wrap me up for all the courses in the Metroplex, since I played Mtn Creek in GP a couple of weeks ago, as well as Gateway.

I saw on DGcoursereview.com that someone posted info about a 9 hole object course in NW Plano. It's not listed on the PDGA website, so does it count as a course?

Finally, does anyone know of any small courses that have been put in Tarrant county recently that isn't on the above list?

[Nascar Dave]

Haslet was put in by some guy with the city, and yes he refused help of any kind. Saginaw is really no better. I can't say anything about Tom and Sue Brown as I haven't even bothered with it.
I haven't managed to get out to Greenbriar but I've heard nothing but good things, and "watch the water" holes.
Crowley is another course that is a must play in my opinion, Brice and his crew keep this park very nice.
As far as Weatherford, please let me know when you head out there and I'll try to meet you for a round.

I hope you all can make it to Athens next weekend for the Paul Giles memorial. The ace pot will start at $150 - thats before anyone puts in on it...We are also having custom made trophies created by Madix in Terrell (they make metal store fixtures) which will be powder coated in Gold, Silver, & Bronze and be 8" discs. There will be a silent auction with some great items up for grabs too (such as a used but in decent condition 1983 KittyHawk Hooker donated by Lew Satterfield). I have also heard a rumor that $100 will be buried somewhere on the course for someone who is not from Athens or Tyler to find (our TD was very strict that we from the area not be allowed to participate in the buried money contest). Please know that every person that plays will be helping out a discgolfer in need just by the act of playing in our tournament. So please, come out, play, and have a great time in Athens.
