TitleDISC is once again hosting the Squite Shoot at Paschall Park in Mesquite on March 28th. It's a PDGA C-Tier event. Many DGD members will be playing in the tournament, if you want to sign up go here:
Myself along with many other members getting ready for this tournament will be playing a ton of Paschall between now and then! If you want to join, post something in the forums or call a brotha! I'll surely be out there this weekend and the next!
Anyone want to hook up for some DG this weekend? Saturday is supposed to be gorgeous! I'm thinking maybe Lake Park in Lewsville ? Anyone have any suggestions?
Kjones wins CTP Competition at Rockwall DGA Ice Bowl!
02/28/2010 10:27 p.m. by Kevin
Congrats to the stud Kjones who took the CTP competition during Rockwall DGA's Ice Bowl over the weekend! Chan Man, Kjones, dman avant, and myself all played in the tournament. It was a lot of fun despite not cashing for me. Kjones came in 7th in Rec, Chan Man in 15th, and dman didn't get last out of 43 total Rec players. I took a whopping 10th place in open out of under 20 players thanks to an epic hole 17 meltdown. OB is dumb :)
Here's a pic of that stud Kjones with his $25 CTP winnings!
Had some great rounds this weekend with Jackson, gibbdog21, CantPuttRob, Craig, Rueben, and Patrick! We hit Harry Myers and Veteran's on Saturday. Kjones and Chan Man tore up some Harry Myers Saturday afternoon as well, but I was out in Arlington at the time so they get no love on pictures :)
Some of us will be at Harry Myers early Saturday morning arond 8:30 and then it's off to Veteran's Park to meet up with CantPuttRob and GoodRunJuan around noon.
kjones, myself, tajss, and Tyson all played BB Owen today during lunch. It was cold, wet, and a lot of snowflakes hit me in the cornea. All and all, it was good times...
Turner Park Tune Up Video from CoolDaddySlickBreeze
02/11/2010 10:37 a.m. by Kevin
Hey guys, Bobby from CoolDaddySlickBreeze (The stud with the camera at all of the Dynamic Discs tournaments) sent me an email with the Turner Park Tune Up highlight video this morning.. For those of you that didn't make it, check the vid out.
Big thanks to Bobby from CoolDaddySlickBreeze Productions for throwing all of this together! Look forward to the Winter Warm Up video from Lewsville last weekend too!
Some of us were thinking about playing an early morning round or two out in Rockwall at Harry Myers Saturday. It would have to be early, start time around 8:00ish AM. It will most likely be a muddy mess, but the Rockwall DGA is hosting an Ice Bowl on the 27th and this might be the last weekend to get some practice in.
A few DiscGolfDallas.com members played in the Dynamic Discs Winter Warm Up at Lake Lewisville Park and LL Woods over the weekend. I was able to meet chopz33 during the Ring of Fire which was pretty awesome. We both had some good runs but didn't end up winning any of the rounds.
I played Intermediate and was able to win after a 3-way tie for first resulted in a match play playoff. 46 players were in the intermediate division. Next up, Advanced :) Kjones also cashed in Rec, so it was a pretty good showing for DGD all around.
Thanks again to Jeremy Rusco and everyone at Dynamic Discs for another killer tournament with just shy of 200 players for the 1 day event!
Just wanted to give an update from this weekend's Dynamic Discs tournaments.. I played the Turner Park Tune Up Saturday (my first PDGA tournament) and won Rec! Looks like I'm moving up, sweet. Nikko Locastro won Open with Eric McCabe and JD Ramirez taking 2nd and 3rd. It was pretty great watching those studs lay it down and talk to a lot of them.
Jeremy and everyone from Dynamic Discs put on a killer tournament and I look forward to playing the Winter Warmup next weekend in Lewsville along with any others they put on in the area from now on! Thanks a ton Jeremy!
That's right.. On May 1st, 2010 DiscGolfDallas.com will proudly present a World's Biggest Disc Golf Weekend at Paschall Park in Mesquite, TX. I will have more details soon as it is still in the planning process. Get ready though, it's about to be on!
Lots of disc golf this weekend with a lot of DGD members. Thanks to everyone who came out for some sloppy, rainy, sunny, mushy, hot, cold, and windy games! In particular - Tommy, Tim (tajsss), Drew (gibbdog21), Jackson, Jimmy (Jim7499).
Some thoughts after playing rounds this weekend:
Paschall Park is basically underwater. It seems to be getting worse. I plan on speaking with a friend in the Parks and Rec dept. to try and brainstorm any ideas on getting the terrible drainage under control and see how we can help.
LL Woods park is going to be hell if it's anywhere near as windy as it was this afternoon for the Winter Warmup tourney on 2/6.
I was able to get Tommy (The stud developer and partner of DGD) out on the course not once, or twice, but THRICE today for a whopping 54 holes of golf. We hit Lake Park, LL Woods, and Paschall. No easy task for anyone in 17 MPH winds, much less a beginner. Surprisingly enough, the old man didn't break a hip and hit some good pars and birdies! Good to get you out there Tom!
I found a First Run Pro Teebird sitting in the used bin at Play it Again Sports in pretty good condition for $5. Pretty stoked about that. Jack, you can have it for $25 and some Funyuns.
ESP Surge is slowly becoming the greatest disc of all time for me. It does anything I want it to within 200-400 feet.
I've been wanting to buy some waterproof shoes but hating the idea of spending $125 on them. I found a pair of Hi-Tec Brand Waterproof Hiking shoes for $60 at Sports Authority and they came with a 1 year warranty with full reimbursement if anything fails on the shoe. I went a good 3-4 inches deep in water/mud today at Paschall with no wetness. They were also very comfortable. If anyone is looking for a decent WP discgolf shoe but don't want to spend a ton lilke me, you might want to check them out.
And lastly, I'm expecting a call from the City of Mesquite tomorrow to confirm hosting a World's Biggest Disc Golf Weekend at Paschall Park on May 1st, 2010. It's about to be on like Donkey Kong.
Now, for some pics!

I'll probably be hitting Porter in Mesquite or BB Owen in Dallas throughout the week for some night golf this week. Next weekend will be busy with the Dynamic Discs tournaments at Turner and possibly Towne Lake. I didn't register for Towne Lake, but I still might.
Phew, what a busy day of DG it's been. Today we hit super sloppy Turner Park early this morning, and it was challenging. We moved on to Towne Lake in McKinney afterwards and it turned out to be a very nice afternoon. Thanks to Tim (tajsss), Drew (gibbdog21), Chandler (Chan Man), and Jones (kjones) for coming out today! The mobile scorecard again was a success as we used it on both courses and uploaded the rounds automatically with the push of a button as soon as the round ended!
Site update: Weather forecast now available in Course Directory. Check it out before you go get blizzarded on. :)
(Side Note from Tommy: Weather/Wind also shows in the mobile scorecard as well as stores so viewers of your round can see what the weather and wind were like that day!)
In other news, Shawn was a no show which shocked no one. Good talk.
Now for some pictures from today!
This is what the back of an SUV should look like on Saturday. Minus Jones's pink Fade bag of course:
Chandler making it look good as usual:
Tim putting and fishing:
Jones saving bogey with the reverse triple no look thumber and slamming some chainage:
Drew pondering the survival percentage/legal ramifications and then flicking so hard his right hand turned to mush:
Myself deep in thought at the end of this drive mulling over a tough decision, "Whether or not to have that 3rd sandwich"
Thanks guys, had a blast! Scores are posted as always if you want to see the rounds! Look forward to seeing more people next weekend! If you have a request for a specific course, post it in the forum!
Turner Park Saturday 1/16/10 & New Mobile Scorecard
01/14/2010 8:10 p.m. by Kevin
Turner Park Meet and Greet:
We're going to be playing Turner Park this upcoming Saturday 1/16/10. Many of us plan on playing in the Dynamic Discs Turner Park Tune Up in a couple of weeks, so I plan on hitting Turner hard for the next little while. It's a B-Tier PDGA Sactioned Tournament. If you want to come out Saturday, feel free! As always, I'll give a free DGD shirt to the first person that shows!
Mobile Scorecard Update:
In other news, the exclusive DiscGolfDallas.com mobile scorecard is ready for beta testing and use by everyone. The scorecard uses an existing internet connection on your cell phone to record rounds while playing. I've used this many times successfully along with a few other members. You simply log into mobile.discgolfdallas.com from your phone's browser and follow the steps. Once the round is completed, it will automatically upload the scores to each member that played's profile as well as show up on the "recent rounds" box on the home page. When you click on any one of the rounds from a players profile, it will pop up an official DGD scorecard with every member's round on one card. You can also leave comments talking smack to one another afterwards. It's an awesome way to keep scores, and track your stats online, all from the palm of your hand! Check it out!
Steps:
Point your browser on your mobile phone to http://mobile.discgolfdallas.com
Log in using your Username and Password for DGD
Select a course
Add each player using their username from the site
Use the drop downs to record scores after every hole
At the end click Review, then Complete afterwards to upload score automatically!
Note: The mobile scorecard is still currently undergoing cosmetic changes as well as additions, but we feel confident enough to allow everyone to start using it now! It functions fine, just doesn't have all of the bells and whistles quite yet :)
Thanks to Jack, Jimmy, Drew, and Chad for joining me Saturday at Cedar Hill for some cold disc golf! The cold made it for a tough round due to frozen fingers and stiff discs but we had a blast! We'll be hitting Turner Park next weekend!
Some pics below from Saturday!
Drew with a smooth 25 footer:
Myself with a routine 10 footer or so. I'm either tired or making my O face. I hope that's not my O face:
Jack the chainbanger:
Chuey on a drive:
We had a Chupacabra sighting on one of the holes, or possibly the Mexican Bigfoot. Look close! No, wait... That's just Jimmy:
Drew actually shanked a drive that landed on a beaver dam in the middle of this pond. He carefully scaled the dam and threw a nice 50 ft thumber to set up a par saving putt:
Look close, you can see Jack's pink Monarch sitting in the top of this tree. No penalty stroke was awarded as the TD didn't put the 2 meter rule in effect before play. Next time Jack, I'll T you up son.
There's me modeling the DiscGolfDallas.com shirt proudly. Darn Paparazzi gets me everywhere these days:
Thanks again to everyone for coming out, I also have some new shirts with a different logo coming in this week! If you want one, shoot me an email or visit the pro shop! I look forward to seeing everyone out again next weekend!
Reminder - We're playing the Lester Lorch courses in Cedar Hill tomorrow morning (1/9/10) @ 12:00 PM. Call Kevin Miller if you want to play and maybe car pool out.
