Austin's newest disc golf course is at MetCenter. MetCenter is Austin's premier 550-acre mixed-use business park. Over 2,000,000 sf complete; 3,000,000 sf more available, including approved site plans - easily modified - ready for immediate construction. MetCenter is located in Southeast Austin at the intersection of U.S. Highway 183 and State Highway 71.

Directions to the course - From I-35 and Ben White Blvd (SH 71), go east Ben White. Take the Montopolis Dr. exit and turn right onto Montopolis Dr. Turn left onto Burleson Rd. Turn left onto Metropolis Dr. Turn right into the first parking lot. The course will be on your left.

We received word from the park supervisor at Circle C that there are some very aggressive ground hornets on hole #10 at Circle C. The city has flagged off the area and will be treating it, but possibly not for another few days. So if you are playing out there, be sure to avoid that area; apparently the hornets have attacked some golfers already.

Also, coming up next week on Wednesday evening is a City of Austin meeting about Pease Park and the impact future city work will have on the course. Here is the email we received from the city about it. I believe the location listed is the activity center near W. 29th and N. Lamar (across W. 29th from the bike shop). It would be great to have a big turnout from the golfers to show that we really do care about our course at Pease.

Pease Park Water Quality and Stream Restoration Project

We have scheduled a disc golf stakeholder's meeting concerning how the project will affect the disc golf course at Pease Park.

Public Meeting

Subject: Pease Park Restoration Project: How this will affect your Disc Golf Course

Date: November 4, 2009

Time: 6:00pm

Location: Senior Activity Center: 2874 Shoal Crest Ave

Info: Bill Wells @ 974-7828

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

Finally, mark your calendars for a couple of work days at Pease on November 14th and November 21st. These won’t be for work on the disc golf course, but instead will be hosted by the group Trees for Pease, and will be all about replanting a bunch of trees at the park to help replace/repair some of the damage and loss of trees due to the drought and several recent severe storms. We have been told that the tree planting won’t negatively affect the disc golf course (it may not help or enhance the course either, but it will help the park as a whole). This is a very worthy project and an excellent chance to show the city and the other big user groups and supporters of Pease Park that the disc golf community cares about the park and wants to make it better. We’ll have more info on the workdays as they get closer.

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.

Registration information can be found on the tournament thread in the Community Forums (under Current/Future events):
http://www.austindiscgolf.org/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=57

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 with Gordon at the Thursday Zilker events, and at the Ace Race at Zilker on Saturday, September 26th (assuming spots are still available at that point).
