The Wood League is up and running. Tomorrow will be the 4th night. As some of you may know, there is a 4 week rotating schedule of tees.
1st week: Regular tees
2nd week: Alternate tees
3rd week: Short tees
4th week: Long tees
Tomorrow will be the 4th week, so we'll be playing from the long tees.
Start time is at 5:30, sharp. (lol)
$5 per person
$2 optional ace and duece fund (for 4 and 15)
Random draw
'Cmon out!
Man 4 and 15 are not even comparable for a deuce fund! I wish I could come out but working downtown is not exactly the best situation for the disc golf lifestyle.
Wasnt it always 4 and 18 for the deuce fund?

Nope. Hole 15 is the 750 footer.
Unless you can throw like Avery Jenkins, duecing that basically is an Ace.
I'm absolutely sure that me and Jose Diaz won a bunch of money once for deucing hole 18. That is do-able with a great drive and long jump putt. Same with 4. 15 would be a long drive and a long fairway ace.
Ive seen both of those holes dueced last year before IOS by the same person. Too bad they got neither of them during the round.
Do you guys usually draw cards right at 5:30? I am coming out today but will be leaving Des Plaines around 4:30. That could cut it close, depending on traffic.
Tee off at 6:00 tonight from the longs.
Tough coming from downtown >:(
Ok, so I was misinformed yesterday morning. We played the shorts and Matt and Morgan won with a 14 down. Impressive. Elmo and Josh took second with a 13 down. Next week will be the longs.
Additionally, Elmo put bricks down yesterday marking the alternate teepads. Distances are written on the bricks. It turned out really nice. Hopefully they won't get stolen.
6:00 tonight, longs.
Longs tonight at 6:00
The money on 4 got drained last week and 15 got drained two weeks ago. There's around $90 on 8 and the Ace pot is around $50.
Regular tee's tonight at 6:00
Going to be a nice night for throwing plastic.
Alternates, tonight at 6:00
Short tee's tonight, 6:00.
this dubs going on tonight? if so, what tees?
I'll be there to run it, if people show up. Long tees tonight.
sweet see ya @ 6.
looks like it's time for regulars? I presume that it will still happen despite the random thunderstorms in the area? Just curious before I made the trek out there tonight.
Time to start starting earlier. 5:45 tonight
still at 545 tonight? What tees will we be playing?
Wow, you are still alive Kyle!
Yea, 5:45 tonight, and we're playing the longs.
Nice! I like the longs. Yeah I'm finally able to go again, for now. Work has been awful!!! I'll let some aggretion out tonight. DUECE MONEY IS MINE!!!
5:30 tonight. Regular Tees.
We're starting glow tomorrow. 7:30.
7:00 tonight and we'll be playing the Alternates.

Glow tonight?
Yup.
It's going to be a nice night for some glow. 7:00 people.

What courses have leagues on Tuesdays?
Quote from: Andrew Rivers on July 22, 2008, 10:19:27 AM
League tonight?
What courses have leagues on Tuesdays?
Yes, 6:00. We will be playing the regular tees tonight. 25 people showed up last week, and an ace was hit by Nate on hole 1 for $102. The ace will start at $3.50 this week as we had 7 "lavas" last week. We also started a birdie club. That will be starting at $26 tonight, and a deuce on 4 will be worth at least $26 also.
Good time tonite, wish I could have thrown better, though. I am gonna definately try to get out there more often. I heard about the club you guys are starting out in that area. Any chance for some info on it? I know I am interested. Others in your area may be as well.
Oh, yeah, when does league switch to glow?
Hey Aaron, thanks for coming out last night. First time out and you draw Cali. ;D
Regarding the club: We started pondering the idea last year, and have actually made some small steps this year. As of right now, we have about 20 dues paying members to the Streamwood Disc Golfers Union. For $15, you'll get a personalized towel and your union card. We're looking into tshirts as well. Our primary emphasis of the club (like you and I talked about last night) is to improve the course. Cement tee pads, new baskets, alternate pin sleeves, etc. We seem to be moving somewhat slow, but at least we're making strides.
Glow? We usually start that right after the time change. Which, isn't that being moved back another month this year???
6:00, rain or shine. We'll be playing alternates tonight.
Ace starts at $30, Birdie pot starts at $38, 15 is at $200 with $15 in a second pot.
29 people came out last night, most we've had all year.
Butler and Mark took first with a -13, Terri M. and Ben K. took second with a -12, and Juan L. and Nate took third with a -9.
Longs tonight. Ace is starting at $60, deuce on 4 is starting at $38, and the birdie club is starting at $52.
Club meeting following doubles tonight to be held at The Loop.
6:00 tonight. Regular Tees.
Ace is starting at $102
Deuce on 4 is starting at $47
Birdie Pot is starting at $69
This will be the last week in which we start at 6:00. Next week we will begin at 5:30
28 players last week!
5:30 tonight.
Alternate tees.
Ace is at $130.50
15 is at $200, with $36 in the second pot.
The Birdie Club is at $83
I'll be there. Last week was very fun.
I will definately be absent. Meeting a 4:00pm, so no dice. Enjoy the weather. Which holes are in the birdie club tonight?
Quote from: El Mexicano on August 26, 2008, 06:49:00 AM
Which holes are in the birdie club tonight?
We randomly draw 6 cards, excluding 15, and 4 from the long. Last week it was almost hit. Nate and Jimmy Mac got 5,6,7,8,9, and missed hole 1!
Are we considering capping the Birdie Club pot if it doesn't get hit?
Quote from: El Mexicano on August 27, 2008, 11:21:03 AM
Are we considering capping the Birdie Club pot if it doesn't get hit?
Instead of capping, what we can do is after a certain number of weeks without it being hit, we can go from 6 holes to 5? Just a thought. We can discuss it as a group at the bar after league next week.
22 people showed up last night for shorts. Juan "Machete" Lopez and I tied Pat Barrett and Mike Strauss at -12 for first and second. Pat and Mike also dueced 15 last night to bring home $200. Back to regular tees next week with the Ace starting at $181, duece on 4 starting at $57 and the birdie pot at $117. 3 groups were one hole a way last night from hitting the birdie club.
We will also be playing some glow this friday at 8:00. Random draw doubles. I have about 20 extra red LED's for sale.
Also, after the time change, we will start our glow league on tueday nights.
Time change Glow league will be at what time again?
VIVA LA REVOLUCION!
We'll probably start at 7.
I live in Streamwood. What do I need to do to join your league?
League play is 8 bucks for randon draw doubles. If you join the club it is $7. Just come on out on Tuesdays 5:30.
Any other courses under water right now. I guess DUBS is cancelled for tomorrow? Maybe some disc golf/water polo.
Jericho in Aurora is underwater, I'm sure Madison Meadows (hole 3, 4, 14 at least) and hole 9 at Oak Brook are as well.
As of right now, it looks like we will move the Streamwood Dubs League to Palatine. Would anyone be able to provide course conditions for Riemer?
Polich said he had scoped out some alternate tees. I am not sure if he meant he was there today. The course is on a hill, so it should only have a few puddles. With all the closed streets is gonna be tough to get out there. My sis was redirected about 10 times on her way to work from Streamwood to Skokie... 2 1/2hrs.

Fox Valley Metro would welcome you to have doubles this week at Eagle Ridge! The course is in great shape considering the rain we had. Our members will play too. :)
a bit far for me.
We will be moving leagues to Randall Oaks tonight. 5:30. Alternates have already been established as well.

Streamwood tomorrow? Which tees?
5:30 tonight, Regular Tee's.
I would love to come out and play with you guys, but I have my daughter every Tuesday and she gets antsy on the course. Is there another day that you guys play?
randall oaks in dundee? never heard of it.
is there a dg course there, or do yall play on the ball golf course?
it's next to the ball golf course. if you're coming from the south on Randall before turning into the place you can see some of the baskets (it would be on your left side). The ball golf course surrounds a picnic, barn, and park area.

We do glow on friday nights at 8:00.
i just shot at shady oaks for the 1st time today. its a little over an hour from me, but it was worth the drive. theres alot of potential on alot of the holes. i shot from the long pads, next time ill have to try the short pads, i was four over par, not bad for 1st time i guess. nice course. thanks to glen for being my guide and for showing me sun rise park in bartlett also.
Are there any plans for an end-of-season bring your own partner doubles tournament?
It is in the works, details to come.
Quote from: jack on September 25, 2008, 09:16:35 AM
Are there any plans for an end-of-season bring your own partner doubles tournament?
As of right now, we're planning on November 1st. It will be a bring your own partner doubles tournament. We will do two rounds, one during the afternoon, a break for dinner, then a glow round. We'll look at offering two different divisions as well. There will also be a longest drive and putting contest.
Like Machete said, more details to come soon!
what time today? 9/30/08
5 on the dot, so get there early.
Glow tonight. Drawing cards at 7:00. It's should be a nice night. Mid 50's with no wind.
We'll be changing the starting time of glow tomorrow to 6:00. Please bring your own lights as we do not have any more.

The Streamwood Disc Golfer's Union (you,yours)
I received a call with a person asking me about leagues tonight - what is the start time and I presume that it's still glow?
Cracker & Scott,
Leagues will start after the time change, and I will post here once they resume.
Cracker,
2009 will be our second year as a club. The membership is $15, and you'll get a bag tag, a stash mini and a dollar off league night. Our home course is Shady Oaks, however, last year made the course unplayable for two weeks, so we had our regular leagues at Randall Oaks. Our league format is random draw doubles, and alternate between 4 different tees (regular, alternate, long, and short). We have an ace pool, birdie club, educe holes, and weekly CTP's. We have a monthly meeting after league at The Chicago Loop, which is right across the street.
thanks for the info WkeBrd3. looking forward to joining see you soon.
Leagues started yesterday. Had 10 people show up. Juan Lopez and Bruce Pacey won the first week with a 6 down.
saw leagues started last week.
what time are you drawing teams tonight. what time does the round start.
what tee pads will be used tonight.
I'd like to draw cards around 4:45, so we can tee off by 5:00. If you're on your way and running late, give me a call
We'll be playing the alternate tees tonight.
Ace starts at $120
Duece on 15 starts at $38
Birdie Club starts at $13
What did the course look like tonight?
23 people last night. Matt Polich and Morgan Fredericks beat Juan Lopez and Elmo is a playoff after both groups shot a 12 down. Brad Seagert took the CTP on hole 2 to take home a bottom stamped Teebird.
The course is now dry, however, some of the teepads are still a problem. Getting the park district to fill the pads with woodchips by saturday probably won't happen. We have been having MAJOR issues with the Parks and Recreation lady, but we have a meeting with the Streamwood Board on Tuesday to try and resolve our issues with the course. I know this doesn't help out for Saturday, but we've now gone over the P&R lady's head, and have the President of the Streamwood Board of directors promising us cement teepads by the end of the year. We'll see how that goes....
Garbage cans were removed from the course for winter, and have yet to be replaced. Sean Butler was out there for a few hours yesterday and filled about 4 garbage bags full of trash. Before leagues last night, I saw one of the PD workers, and begged him to get the rest of the trash picked up before Saturday. It's not horrible, just a little embarrassing. I had a couple members last night saw that they would come out later in the week and help with some of the trash removal as well.
Now, we have a hole that we play every week for leagues, that isn't a regular hole on the course. After playing 13 (up by the playground), we walk along the sidewalk and throw down to 11's basket. It's a really great hole, and we were wondering if this was a hole that could be played on saturday.
BTW, Bartlett's teepads are in pretty poor shape too, but the rest of the course is in good shape as well.
Since Saturday will be a full field of players, it's not really possible to use one target for two different holes.
Kinda figured, but it was worth a shot.
