any one planning on hitting this ?
It is always a good tournament. I played it last year and had fun.
Cover up. Lots of poison ivy on that course, but it is less potent in the fall, especially during a drought.
I will most likely be playing.
I'm between this one and a fund raising event in WI.
I've done this tourmanent for the past 2 years and it is one of my favorites. The course is set up really nice ( 2 rounds of 21 holes) and they give out an awesome player pack, along with free lunch! I'll plan to be there and I hope to see all of you there too. :)

where and when is this tourny?
Homie Memorial is in Cedar Lake, IN on Sunday, October the 9th. Check PDGA course directory for directions. It's a fun tournament. Last year we lunch and dinner (leftovers). First round was 21 holes and the second was 18.
Here are the results from last year.

do you have to be preregistered for this event?
Last year the people who pre-reged. got a shirt and a seperate CTP from those who didn't. I think it was worth around $250.

I have not been able to find the information to preregister. I've preregistered the past 2 years. Anyone have the info. There was no ad in DGWN this year & nothing on the website.
I spoke with Brian Cummings about a week ago.
He is taking registrations via mail at his house.
He can be contacted at:

I just got this in my email:
Hi Damon,
There is no pre-registration. You just need to show up the day of the tourny. We will have 2 21 hole courses so we should not have to turn anyone away.

That boggles my mind. 156 players in 2004 & 157 players in 2003. Wonder why no preregistration this year?
Two 21 hole courses would allow for 210 players. Not likely that that many would show up. Although, it will be a pain in the @$$ to sign all those people up on the day of the tournament.
Better get there early!
You can send pre-registrations here.

Hey I can post again! Not that that makes me any better than somebody who lives in like Alabama or something.
can't wait for the homie baby. even though we are all playing for 2nd place in advanced since i heard neal swanson is going :D
I might go to this. Yet another tournament at a course I have never played...
Does anybody know when registration starts?
QuoteI might go to this. Yet another tournament at a course I have never played...
It is always fun to play new courses (maybe not at tournies), but fun nonetheless. Try to get there at least an hour and a half early so you can play the course(s) and get a real feel for them. There are tight holes and plenty of elevation change. All types of shots required. Got to play with Brett on the leader card last year. Got schooled :D !
QuoteDoes anybody know when registration starts?
I dont know, but do you think that they will do the special thing for the pre-reg. players, because Homies wasn't advertised in DGWN and not alot of people knew where to send pre-regesterations?
Probably in the morning. :D
i would say get there as early as possible
it will take a while to register everyone
i plan on getting there early by 8 am
and relaxing maybe just walking some of the extra holes
my arm has only so many throws
I've been doing it all year long, it's not so bad.
Yeah, but your a machine Mike!
Correction: You're
Is this a 'cartable' course?
QuoteIs this a 'cartable' course?
By "cartable" you mean?
Using a cart to carry your bag? Kind of. Maybe 1 or 2 holes you may have some trouble, but I'm not sure because I haven't been there in a year.
It is highly cartable. Most of the old guy ams who play out there use carts.

Well teeoff is @ 9:30, so I'll probably leave Elwood at 6:00. Good luck to all who are playing.
Homie was a very well run tournament in my opinion. I had fun. I shot a 19 up on the red course and even on the blue. I was almost 1 down.(Missed the birdie put on my last hole, 14)

(Winner of Junior and 2/3rds of the ace fund)
I'm guessing you got another ace, and this time got in on the fund!
Congrats on both!
The Homie was run half-assed in a half a dozen different ways, but they have two fun courses and a large field of players, and we can forgive a lot of stuff when we get both lunch and dinner! Congratulations on winning the ace pool. I'll probably be back next year.
the Homie was alot of fun as always. maybe they should put the cards for 1 course somewhere several yards away from the cards for the other though. there seemed to be alot of confusion among players as to which course they were on and it didn't help that 100 people had to swarm the hole assignments at once.
I have to admit it really isn't fair to the people who can't throw as well as the Pros and advanced to have CTP's for everybody on all the holes on the red course.
Hopefully next year I won't have to see Steve O. eating a raw burg! Uggg!
Wow, that course was tough. Two worst tournament rounds I have ever shot. Still had a good time, and I definitely want to make it out there to play a few rounds again.
always a fun time
i shot + 4 red -3 blue
i did not putt well at all
as usual kaos reigned but thats half the fund
maps of the course helped
i agree seperate places for the hole assignments would have been cool
love the people love the food before and after
fun to play with mitch and mike round 1
joe from lansing and i played together both rounds, he finished with 3 birdies on the short tight blue holes over by the playground, he finished fifth
how many discs went into the water ?
i saw 3 1 in practice 2 during the round poor guy took double circle 7 then a 5 on the next hole and was par the rest of the way i think
fly on homie [/size][/font]
My glow CFR Starfire from the Illinois State tournament is sitting comfortably at the bottom of the pond. Almost lost my KC Aviar in there right at the edge also, the water was so slimy you couldnt see past the surface at all.

FYI: Homie results are up, but with no round ratings
Boy did I play like and amateur in that one...wait...I am an amateur! :P

i hear u there brother. its amazing how many shots i can just throw away as if i'm a paraplegic. (not that paraplegics are bad at disc golf or are in any way inferior to me, please join discontinuum today!)
QuoteFYI: Homie results are up, but with no round ratings
Here is a quick slam of the round ratings for you:
The top 12 pros averaged a 972 rating and shot 113. Their scores say that their round 2 course was 3 throws harder so 55 is a 972 on the easy course and 58 is a 972 on the harder course. Last year the slope was nine rating points per throw on the course with more holes so we will use that as this year's probable slope.
Therefore your 82 should rate at 972-((82-58)X9) and your 63 should rate at 972-((63-55)X9). Doing the math in my head I get 756 and 900. A quick double check on the 900 shows that 900 rated players did shoot a lot of scores in the 60-66 range so these ratings are probably close, +/-3 points I'd guess. The other good indicator that these ratings are close is that Kelsey felt like she played non-spectacular control golf all day long, which should be a pair of 825s for her, and you tied her.
Dig this post up in a month when official ratings come out and lets see how close I am on the slam.
i predict bruce is very close, but 7 points on the low side for each round.

Wow; I didn't know how to do it. That's pretty cool, but confusing. :blink:
The ratings template will take more than the top 12 pros, and it will calculate an event specific slope, but this should be close.
I just ran the numbers through the excel template and 55 on the temp course is 1001. And a 58 is 1001 on the other course.
If that gives me a pair of 950 rated rounds, that's insane. I sucked out there!
I think you're pulling my leg but we'll just have to wait until December.
This is what I came up with. I'm not sure which order your division played so I didn't inlcude them. But this should give a fairly accurate assessment.
Here's round 2.
