This weekend is the NLCC in Cat spring, next weekend is in Decatur but its a terrrible field. My dogs got totally shreded there on the cut cotton plants growing there so we won't be back. They usually have events in Dec at Cat springs and Waller, but were overcome by othere events this yr so the clubs all combined events at the beginning of the month instead. There will be coursing at Hutto the first and last weekend in March. McKinney has an event scheduled for Jan that we will attend with our 4 if the weather is good enought to make the 8 hour drive. We will mostly be doing events in north TX this yr vs going to the Houston area. Just too expensive to drive 12 hours each way when there are enough events closer to home. 90% of the events are AKC now, the clubs have stopped doing ASFA for the most part as entries were so low.
Lure coursing

Does anyone know of a lure coursing club in Illinois? I would like to check one out to see if it might be right for Cody and I keep running into dead-ends on the internet.
Thanks!! -
Check out www.asfa.org for coursing clubs.

Go to this website, links for all the midwest clubs are on it. Crown point in April will be the next IL event, we will probably be there runnning our whippets. There are generally only 2 events a yr in IL, we have to travel a lot to keep our dogs coursing.

Thank you to you both! So - if there are so few events how do you learn about coursing and begin training? Do people set up their own courses to begin training or do you travel to various groups when they are available. I hope this question makes sense - I know very little about this, but it looks like something my B would love. Thanks again!

Normally the clubs have practices after the Saturday trials. Unfortunately none of the clubs in our area have separate practice days. You might also think about going to some of the lira meets for straight run practices. The schedule is at lgra.org
