  1. We are in the Austin area. The team leaders have been asking some of the local groups, including Keep Austin Fishing. Thanks all for the advice. Much appreciated
  2. yep - kayaks are a non-starter on tournaments. Thanks for the advice on the local stores, I'll start contacting them. We've got practices covered using some of the local lakes in the community. Nothing spectacular but they should catch some fish.
  3. I've got no idea what I'm doing here so here goes. our son's high school started up a fishing club - part of the 'Faith Angler Network' here in Texas. They have about 6-7 tournaments a year (3 in the fall, 3 in the spring, plus a championship event). Seems like a great thing to get kids interested. This is the 2nd year of the club and the parents who started this up have done a great job - the group started last year with 8 kids and has sprung up to 30 kids (high school and Jr High). It's great to see, however, the problem is that the group only has 3 people with actual boats. This means for any given tournament, only 6 kids get to go. The whole concept is just weird/foreign to me in that it seems that the entire thought process is just 'ask for volunteers to captain a boat'. I'm certainly not in a position to go buy a boat so asking you guys if you have any ideas where we should look for volunteers. I ask I'd hate to see the kids become disinterested due to lack of opportunities.
  4. I'll probably watch since I'm a degenerate. Not expecting much since the Asians dominate women's golf right now. Only 6 of the top 20 in the world rankings are in this, 5 Americans and 1 Euro.
  5. Kuch being Kuch. Suppose its within the rules since it's a waste area but it looks bad
  6. 1.5" in Kyle last night. Wife is a lucky lady.
  7. Happy National IPA Day or what I call every day
  8. You'll enjoy the weather in Bryce almost as much as the beauty. You won't overheat there. For the olds, walking the Rim Trail from Bryce Point to to Sunset/Sunrise Points isn't difficult at all and provides some spectacular views. The younger ones (and young at heart) can then venture down on some more adventurous trails.
  9. I hear ya. Maybe I should go to the practice green some instead of the range
  10. I shot 81 with 36 putts once. Some stuff you never forget.
  11. playing Kizer (Austin) this afternoon. Game's been off the rocker lately so I have no idea what to expect. I have no confidence with the driver right now and I'm fighting a (big) 2-way miss.
  12. Phil Hui ended up winning that tourney. He's a friend of a friend. Nice guy and a helluva golfer too.
  13. Lol. The random yukyuks are my son and I
  14. Arches NP today. Delicate Arch hike wiped the kids out but damn, what a view
  15. I checked them and properly inflated them. I didn't realize they were 5 yrs old or I would have replaced them last week
  16. This was Friday before we left this morning. Motorized lift system crapped out. Then the head off the bolt that runs the manual override broke Luckily the guy at RVLand had a spare manual crank. One case of beer later, and I was good to go This happened today just outside of Lubbock. This one's on me for not paying attention to the age of the tires I'll move everything else to the Utah thread and let Clark have his thread back
  17. Recoil shafts are on my list of upgrades for my irons. Hit them at demo days and they were so smooth.
  18. No Canyonlands? You're right there already. Canyonlands is included in the Arches stop. Right now, it's 3 nights and I'm pondering 1 more
  19. We leave next Saturday. Arches NP and Bryce Canyon NP.
  20. Was at Emo's 2 weeks ago and there were no folding chairs to speak of. Everything was standing room GA
  21. played the Quarry in San Antonio yesterday. The greens are horrible and #2 is a complete disaster. Wish I had taken a picture. Thankfully, it was free.
