I don't know much about weather in southern il but if it is warm enough (imo 40 & ^) would it be possible to have a IL open series evry month of the year all around the state?
I can only think of 2 "hang-ups"
1. A GOOD staff to run the tournaments
2. resources
#1 isn't to hard to hurddle but idk about #2 since i don't really know what it takes resource wise to run a tourn.
I doubt you'll get the tournout to make it worthwhile...
Michigan has had a winter series. You only draw about half as many players in the winter. You don't get many women or juniors. I play one or two winter tournaments every year.
Aurora would be a good venue for an ice bowl with that fireplace!
An Icebowl for Aurora is in the works, and will most likely take place.
We did a year long "Safari" tournament a couple of years back-we went all over the place :) It was well attended, at first.....then attendance dropped. I missed the first 5 events but still had 7 scores and came in 3rd place, just because I complete the required 7 events.
From the experience I can tell you that running an event every month gets old after the first 3-4 months.
I like the idea of a roaring fire in that fireplace at Aurora for an Ice Bowl :)

I remember that Safari Series. Did I win it? That was the year Brett got better than me.
