I want to hit this one this year but would like to check out the courses before then. Anyone up for a road trip some Sat or Sun in Sept? Actually the only wknd I'd have open would be Sept 18-19, otherwise the first wknd in Oct.
Although given the logistics of everyone I'd probably just meet you there anyhow.
Great course. Wish I could get to this one but have to go to a wedding. They set up temp holes as well.
This has been the 2nd Best i've attended. Only 2nd to Worlds. Lunch & Dinner provided & an awesome course. Not sure if they'll do lunch & dinner again but it was awesome last year.
'm up for a trip down to lemon lake. would like to play it again before homie's. i'm in nw chicago (not far from I90/I94); let me know when you are going.

Damon, I was just there yesterday. I'd love to go again soon. If you can get down to the loop I'd do the driving.

i do still have to check my busy schedule (LOL)
I will be attending this tournament as well. Sent the check in the mail yestarday. I got out of the wedding I was supposed to attend. Free lunch & dinner + a great course. This was by far the best event I attended in 2003.

what bag tags will be there sunday ?
anyone remember the extra 9 that will be put in ?
i got vague recollection of em but im really not sure ?
(brett, jon)
I'll be there on Sunday along with Dan & Todd.
I heard they are setting up a 24 hole course & 18 hole course. Advanced & Pro will be playing together on one course & the rest of the field will be playing the other course. I'm not sure what type of alternate holes they will put up. It sounded like they will be different from last year. There will be no final 9 which will help getting us outta there before it gets dark.
sounds complicated
not that it will matter to my game
Oh my god! Bag Tag #2 will be at the Homie???? Can't wait to see that baby make the trip up North!!!! You better show Sox boy :angry:
Actually, Tim davis has tag #2 now.
oh
sick kid
not going to lemon lake today
i may go down on weds, thurs, or fri. i've only played the course once awhile back and would like a refresher. spuds, if you still want to go later in the week, let me know.
wed got job interview :D
thursday stuff with kids school :)
friday looks good got to drop child off for shadow day at high school
should be able to get there around 930
ill bring the beer
5 bucks says airspuds has some crazy reason why he can't meet you on friday spike :P
dan, i've got your your five bucks covered, and spuds... game on. where on the south side are you? i'll swing by and grab you if it's not too far out of the way.
11900 south western
its about 2 miles west of I-57
edge of chicago (60655) and blue island
dropping kid and her friend off at mccauly (high school of jenny mccarthy and the states best volleyball programs)
at 745 am
free rest of day
where you coming from ?
I 294 is also close
As of now the weather is looking good for Sunday. High 60's & no rain.
Last year there were 157 total players. I would guess there are going to be more this year.
hey if we play different course set ups
how s the bag tag going to work
(not that it will matter brett and dan have at least 30-40 ratings pts on me)
my only chance will be if i shoot the round of my life
still have not been able to stay away from silly mistakes in
all aspects of my game
Since we are playing the same 2 courses, final score would be fine unless the weather has totally changed from the morning to afternoon.
Quoteheard they are setting up a 24 hole course & 18 hole course. Advanced & Pro will be playing together on one course & the rest of the field will be playing the other course.
sorry this confused me
again not that it matters a whole lot
im glad the weather is going to cooperate
Sorry, everyone at the event will play the 18 hole course & 24 hole course. That is what I was told at Channahon.
ok
spike u should have pm
ok i just check ed answering machine
ill call u

here are some pix from the first homie
it was in may on mothers day
cant believe the mrs let me play that day (she couldnt believe we actually played)
it was at riverside now named in honor of homie
wheres spuds ???
hint cheesy grin
never saw so much water on a course in my life
they had to redesign all the holes the morning of the event
So will any low tags be at the Homie? i think bingman has #3. butler has #4? i know brett and I will bring 10 and 12 (not sure who'll have what). hoping to move back into single digits late in the year. :D
i predict ill be keeping # 41
but u never no
headed down on friday
rain rain go away
come back when i cant play
i found a couple of the extra holes
rain forced me to play only about 18 holes
how many people do u think will play this year ?
169
Once again this tourney was awesome, the best that I have ever been to. How many of them give you great course, lunch, dinner, a good payout, and cookies? They make you feel like you are playing in their backyard and over for a party, as one person that I was playing with claimed.
One drawback this year was not having divisional CTPs. I think that if you aced a few of the holes you could quite possible not be the closest to the pin.

im going have to start playing lemon lake more
i was a little ticked i didnt play that well in the 2nd round
but ill get over it

I guess I played like a paraplegic then, -3, but I beat Dan and Todd!
This was by far NOT the greatest tournament I've ever played. They did a fine job with some aspects of the event and a mediocre job with others. I'd like to thank the volunteers who worked hard to make the event happen, and the Lovasko family for their sponsorship, if any of them are reading. It is an event I have recommended to others and it will remain so. The aspects of the event that they do well make up for the areas that need improving.
On the tee pad question, where an improved tee is provided, you must throw from the tee. You can clean the tee off before you throw, but you cannot throw from behind or beside unless the TD has said so in the players' meeting. Where the tee is natural and only marked by front end markers, it is that wide and three meters long. You must throw from that imaginary rectangle.
Yestarday was a good time. I shot well & managed to squeak out a win. I like this tournament. You can't beat free lunch & dinner. The trophy I won was very cool. The only thing I was disappointed with was with the temporary holes that were differnet from last year. They took out 2 of the really good one's. Overall, this is a fun & well run tournament. I will continue to go back to this tournament.

one of the existing tee pads was so slick it could have been dangerous
first guy threw off it short runup and slipped
second guy threw with no runup
3rd threw sidearm no runup
4th me threw from behind tee
heard others threw from along side it
as far as i knew the td was not aware of it (it was on the blue course -not sure what #)
i dont think it was brought up because the ams were not going to play it again
i dont think anyone said any thing to the td
I think that the inadequacies Bruce was referring to were probably the slow developing awards ceremony and slowly run tourney in general. This is something that they will hopefully improve on in the future as they run more tournaments. It would also be nice to see a different layout for the Blue Course. That thing was way too easy and repetitive. hyzer hyzer hyzer hyzer hyzer. I would still recommend anybody to go next year cuz its a good time.
My grandma lives pretty close to there, and today she called and told me that there was an artical in her paper, so ill get a couple copies from her and bring them to leagues if i can make it

Considering I've played maybe 27 holes in the past 3 weeks isn't a positive thing when it comes to playing in tourneys
I can spend $30 alot betting than a shitty rated round, not to mention the fact I would've only gotten 3 hours of sleep.
So eat one Danimal :P
I really liked the first course even though whenever i got a duece there was a dumn bogie to even me back out. And i didnt really like the second course, mainly because i lost a main driver of mine ( CE teebird) on hole 18, and cause most of the shots were hyzers, and i couldnt get a duece on that course untill my second to last hole and i still ended up with a +1, but all in all i could of shot better, but im sure everyone else could of too
QuoteI think that the inadequacies Bruce was referring to were ... I would still recommend anybody to go next year cuz its a good time.
The payouts and food were great. The sponsorship from the Lovasko family makes this possible, and everyone thanks them for that. I don't want to be too critical of the event. Give me food and good payouts and I should be happy.
I'll probably play again next year. I'll play pro master if I can afford to toss the cash away. The pro masters at the event seemed like a cool group.

I wasn't trying to put words into Bruce's mouth, although admittedly it may have appeared that way. Just trying to elaborate on what clearly could be improved just to satisfy the curiosity of our readers.
