You call 5 degrees warm?!? :D
I'LL BE AT LEAGUE TO ENJOY THE NICE WEATHER
League this Sunday, ace pool starts at $30.00 and rising. Temps start at 5 degrees and falling. Wind Chill -20.
Bruce said that he is going to be there but I'm going to be a p___y and back out. I had told Bruce that I'd walk with him or play if Sunday was a day when my back didn't hurt. But I can't go from being inside all winter to playing in 5 degree weather!
aw man, it's not that bad :P. I played streamwood today with a bunch of other guys. Lost a disc on 14, but oh well. The cold part is not that bad at all (especially if the sun is out), but it's the howling wind that is BRUTAL. My TeeRex was flipping over on me and never coming back it was that ugly. Massive headwind on hole 15. I think I wound up +20 but still took second out of the group of 6 that played all 18 (9 started at the beginning).
Week 4 scores are posted. 8 players today with wind chills at -30. Ace pool starts at$38.00 next week. Congrats to Neal and KVN for the -11 and winning the playoff. Tom S. took the CTP on hole 5.

Just got home from Chicago to 4 inches and a 1/4 inch of ice on the car. I'm planning on being out there in the morning. Good times!!!
Results have been posted for week #7.
what was it like up there today? I'd already decided to wuss out but it really wasn't all that bad in Chicago this morning, seemed like it was worse further north...

Excellent. Everyone is welcome to come play.
Hello all,
I will be visiting the Chicago area from March 12-18th. My friend Sarah and I would like to play a round of golf. I've been playing competitively for awhile while Sarah plays mroe for fun. Can someone provide us some info. about your area courses. Which one to visit, day, time, etc.
Thanks!!
Becky

I say it's all about the weather conditions this time of year. Normally I'd recommend playing Lombard's Madison Meadows course, but with the recent weather conditions that place is probably quite flooded in many areas. What area will you be at? Mokena has a great course to try out, that's a little south. Round Lake (northern suburb) has a good 18-hole course... not sure how that course holds up with given weather.
What type of courses are you used to playing? Don't want to make the Illinois experience a downer ;)
I'm used to playing pretty wooded area courses. Tyler State Park is near me and there is a mixture of wooded and open holes ranging from 200-800 feet. My home course is Sedgley Woods, the second oldest course in the country. This course is much shorter, but challenging. We are staying by Midway Airport. We'll have a car so we don't mind driving. Any suggestions? I was looking at Madison Meadows, it looks good, but again the weather is definately a factor for you guys. Thanks for all the help.
Bec
If you are at Midway i'd stay south. Mokena is a decent course with 2 sets of pads. Not sure if there is a map on the web but it would be helpful. West Park and Channahon are possiblities too. If you don't mind a little drive i'd play Cedar Lake, IN.
Lemon Lake looks good. It looks like about a 35 mile drive for us. Is there a league day there? Doubles...tags?
Philly girl. I've played Sedgley as my in laws are there. If you like that kind of wooded course Mokena, Lemon Lake and Channahon will look good. If you are up for a long drive, go do Rockford where the new course is tight and wooded much like Sedgley and the old course is a mixture and a very good, fun challenging course.
There are leagues in the Joliet area. I checked www.jolietdiscgolf.com and the site is down. Any of you guys down there know when leagues are?
I hope to play Sedgley when I am in town Mother's Day weekend.
I appreciate all of your input guys!!! I look forward to playing your area courses. Please keep me informed of any league/doubles play. Chainmeister lemme know when u will be in town I can meet you at Sedgley for a round. Our tag/doubles days are Thursdays and Saturdays. If anyone wants to meet up with Sarah and I for a round of golf we are down. Cedar Lake and Lemon Lake look the best. I guess it all depends on weather.
Peace,
Becky
I believe that the Joliet leagues are Saturdays at noon for dubs. Not 100% sure though.
If you are looking for a quick round one day while you are here, Summit Park is close to Midway and is very tightly wooded, some say too tightly. It can be played in about an hour to an hour and a half though.
Summit is the closest course to Midway; however, there are better courses nearby. Summit is also likely to be flooded. Mokena and Cedar Lake are both good courses, and you can't go wrong with either one.
Joliet winter doubles are on Sunday mornings at 11 AM. On March 18th we'll be at Channahon. Most of us will probably have headaches.

I was looking forward to going to league at Grayslake but 3-11-07 is the same day as the Lumberjack.I'm sure there will be some nice alt. holes.Hopefully it gets good reviews and league will be held at Grayslake again.
Scores for week 8 are posted. REMEMBER LEAGUE IS AT GRAYSLAKE NEXT WEEK. Club meeting to follow.

Thanks to all those who were there yesterday at Bevier Park. You all made Matt and I feel welcome.
We are both glad to be a part of this club.
Looking forward to Grayslake on Sunday.

A reminder that DST starts THIS SUNDAY as well. With league in Grayslake that day, the directionally-challenged should keep that in mind (looking in the mirror.... ::))

Spring forward, Fall back. :rolleyes:
Hey Guys...it's the Philly girl again. It looks like that Tuesday is going to be the nicest day of the week (partly cloudy and high of 60). I want to try and schedule a round or two in that day, evening. Let me know if anyone is interested in playing a daoubles round or casual round. I've heard some rumors of a night glow league. I hear Masison Meadows is the best place, but we are willing to drive up to 45 minutes away for good golf. Hope to see some of you out. We set our clocks ahead so we'll have more time to play.
See you next week in Chi-town!!
Becky
I've been working on the tees at Grayslake since last Wednesday. All but #6 are clear of snow & ice. I couldn't locate the tee to #6 under a foot of snow and another inch of ice. Today Tim S. found it for me. After tomorrow that problem will be taken care of and the course will be ready to go for Sunday. Don't forget about the time change.
Tees are pretty good. Some water on #4 and still a little ice on #6. The ice should be gone by Sunday. DON'T FOREGET THE TIME CHANGE
Club meeting after league at Full Slab.
I start my come back tomorrow as long as I remember to set my clock ahead an hour! I'm looking forward to playing league again. My back felt great after the round in California, so I'm hoping for similar results tomorrow.
The weather brought out a great turnout of 17 players. Grayslake was fun. Week #9 results have been entered. Looks like a battle for 2nd & 3rd overall points will come down to the final week.There are 5 players that have a shot at those 2 spots. Ace Pool is $96.00 and league will be back at Bevier for the finale.
I'd like to come out Sun. but I have to be somewhere early afternoon. What time do leagues usually wrap up?
EARLY IS ABOUT 11:50 AND LATE IS ABOUT 12:20 MOST OF THE TIME IT ENDS AT 12:00
Great. That should work. Thanks.
I can't figure out how to view the point standings for winter league. Little help, i'm retarded.
Figured it out own my own, and yes I feel slow now.
Winter League is now finished!
1st--Brett C.
2nd-KNN L.
3rd--Tom S.
Tom S. & Deryk S. had a suddden death playoff to break the tie for 3rd.
$110 ace pool is rolling over to spring league.
