Thought I would give you the updates news from us, NEDDG, about our expereinces at TX11....
Travis and I arrived Austin on Sunday late morning, picked up the car and stop by Subway for lunch.
Then went to Backyard course and met Lee there. We played on AM tee. My gosh! What a T.O.U.G.H course to play!!
And it was soooo HOOOOT outside that day!!! We're already got slight sunburned (forgot to put on sunblocks) Travis already glupped down one bottle of water in the middle of our first round. We didn't finish the rest of the holes because we're out of water and supposed to play with the local TX players at later time. Went to gas station to get more water (its worth two bottles PER round in TX!!) and back to Backyard but we're kind of late to join the TX players as they are already at 4th tee and we wanted to play from the beginning to the end this time. So, we were able to finish the hole including the extra "B" hole which indeed a nice view of the area. We didn't do the extra "A" hole though. We aren't too satsify with our scores at this course and we hope to work on it later this week.
HOWEVER, IT WAS A HUGE THRILL TO SEE LEE TO MAKE HIS 2ND CAREER ACE SHOT AT THE VERY LAST HOLE #18!!! CONGRATS LEE!!! 
Today, Monday, Travis and I went to Twin Park Country Club and played at Parkshire course while Lee gone off to join his friend for boating rides. It was very windy that day about 16-18 mph wind (good! cool us down fast!) but its hard to make good shots when there are several holes where you will have to throw hard and striaght under the long tree branches which hangs way across the fairways. The branches' heights could be 5 to 10 feet high, quite tight shots. It was nice course to play, its mostly flat course that you could do rolling shots if you are good at it. Lots of bombing shots here and there. Plenty shades around. I can see this place can be good location for big events like TX11. Got a nice wide photo of #16 at Parkshire, will post soon!
More updates coming up when I can find the time!!!!
Tomorrow, Tuesday, planning to go back to Twin Park and play at Park Hill course (another bombing course...I think...see, see), then in the afternoon, play at Backyard's Pro Tee which even more harder...oh boy....
Off to bed!!
