2011 Texas State Championship at Jack Brooks Park

[Jake Walsdorf]

The cat is out of the bag. Exciting news!!! Texas States will be played on 3 courses at Jack Brooks Park. Help make it Memorable. We'll be looking for idea people, worker bees and players that enjoy a good challange.

I look forward to providing a great Brooks experience in 2011.

Hi Jake,
I would like to put my name in for the Scorekeeping position. I'll help with course prep of course. I'm hoping a lot of the course prep for Gulf Meadows and Cedar Hills will be done by the time Birdshot's B tier in November comes around so players will get an idea of what it will look like.

Score keeper??? Count to 20 about 250+ times and ask me again...

November? How about for Worlds Biggest in May we debute a few of the 30 new holes planned for states.

Just wanted to bump this back up since there's been all the talk about Masters at Shawshank next year....I noticed Jake was out there yesterday working on a bridge on the new course. Lots of work to be done to get this thing ready for both the B-tier coming up this fall and, of course, for Texas States 2011! All you willing people on the Houston South Side need to pitch in & help get this thing ready too!

Hey Jake.... Got out to the Cedar Hills course on Sunday and WOW!!! I Love it!!! Not many courses spark me to want to write a review on the course, but this course is incredible and I can't wait to get over to DGCR and write one. Cedar Hills has raised the bar so high for anyone thinking they are going to design the next finess course in town.

Big Big thanks go out to you and the people who helped you out there. This course now becomes the standard by which all future courses in the Houston area will be judged against.

Not sure where the course at Telge stands right now, but I really hope whoever is doing the majority of the designs out there, spends a lot of time at Cedar Hills and "pushes the envelope" like you did.

2011 Texas States is going to be fantastic, and the sleepy little town of Hitchcock is going to produce golfers with MAD finess skills.

I can't wait to see what your planning for a third course out there... I hope you make it even tougher!!!

Thanks so much for setting the bar at such a high level, just what this area needs!!! The best Houston has to offer is in Hitchcock!! Un-Freakin_Believable!!!!!

I wish I didn't live 60+ miles away

Wow... Thanks for the kind words.

And I would add a huge thank you to the Brooks crew (you know who that is) who continues to better the courses at Brooks despite the heat; mosquitoes & spiders and me.

We've come a long way, but we have a long way yet to go.

All I can say, is keep playing.

Tim shot a 58 on the hills course yesterday. The record in competetion is a 57. If you think you're a bad mo phu, come try to handle the hills. And try not to quit!!!
