Got to have that shirt.
For those who haven't been to this event, the Springfield Disc Golf Club does a wonderful job. Douglas Park is a fun course, but the real treat is playing at Lincoln. It is a well manicured course in a very nice park setting. There are very nice concrete tees with plenty of nice holes.
The players packs are nice, and there is always a nice meal after the second round. I feel that overall it has been consistently one of the best events in Illinois.
If you get there and play the random doubles on friday, you'll be able to chip in your thoughts on course design and maybe!! Your suggestionswill be so thought provoking to become implemented.
So go on down there and help get your feet wet w/ course Design suggestions.
Just registered. WIU disc golf club will have some guys there.
Capital City Challenge Update- Log on to www.discgolfclub.org at the Pro Shop to pre-register for the 11th Annual Capital City Challenge. Pre-reg by Wed. Sept. 30th for the Doubles Tourney to avoid the $5 late fee.
All Disc Golfers with register/check in at Douglas Park on Saturday Oct. 3rd between 8-9am. :)
Not sure whats gotten into me, maybe cause I had to miss Channahon this weekend, but I'm thinking about going. Tough nuts that Rec has to sign in at Douglas then go to Lincoln, but play in the big boy divisions or get the shaft is all good. The parks ARE really close. Too bad there's not trophy only Advanced, but I figure as long as I avoid Avanti's this time the night before I should shoot better than a few years ago. ;D
Bright side to getting shafted means you finish earlier w/ douglas as your 2nd rd.
I hope you can attend the tourney. Brad, TD, wants everyone to have a great tourney experience. :)
With two courses, there is going to be some traveling involved one way or the other. I don't think anyone has gotten the shaft at this event. It is a great time. If you haven't traveled to an event, I suggest traveling to this one. SDGC works on this one all year long and really tries to make it an event for everyone.
This event improves from year to year. The organizers take suggestions to heart and do everything they can to make it a total disc golf experience.
Just want to make this clear, I was completely kidding about being "shafted" with the courses for Rec. This tournament is great and was one of the most fun I've had playing, the food at end didn't hurt either. >:D
When I went a few years ago the value was awesome and courses were too. If I hadn't gotten sick in the AM it would've been completely great. I echo Tom's comments and recommend that anyone who can go does.
66 preregistered...

Thanks to the Springfield crew for another fantastic event. Lincoln still one of my favorite courses in Illiinois. Between the shirt in the player pack, the well-run tourney, and the free dinner after the 2nd round, the value of this tournament was beyond the reasonable entry fee for this event. They paid out generously as well and provided CTPs and other prizes. Really a top tier event in Illinois. I'll be back again in 2010.
Hello Dan,
Thanks for the compliment about the 11th Annual Capital City Challenge. I'm glad you had a good time. We plan to provide another great event again next fall. SDGC hopes to add an outstanding spring event to the schedule.
Scott Murphy, Springfield Disc Golf Club President
The Springfield Disc Golf Club outdid themselves this year. They couldn't control the weather but everything that they could control was top notch.
At Douglas Park there was a nice island hole for the pros. The player's packs were excellent. For everyone that signed up early, there was a very nice from Paragon. The courses were in excellent shape, the awards ceremony ran smoothly, and the after tourney meal was great.
One of the fun things that happened prior to the awards ceremony was a CTP. What made it unique is that the basket was surrounded by plastic bins with one disc in each bin. The person closest to the bin got to keep the bin and the disc. This was a nice touch to make the wait time between the end of the event and the awards ceremony go quickly.
This is absolutely an event that the Springfield crew can be proud of in every way.
I am already looking forward to next years event.

One of the most popular walking shoes on the market is the Anti Shoes (http://www.mbtwikipedia.com), also known as MBT Shoes (http://www.mbtwikipedia.com). Unlike conventional footwear, it has a sole design that promotes instability and a natural rolling movement for the feet. The success of the Women's MBT Shoes (http://www.mbtwikipedia.com) is due to the positive effects one receives from head to toe. Benefits include more toned muscles, a decrease in back pain, a better posture and an increase in calories burned. The biggest hurdle for most that are interested in this footwear has been price. In this article, I'll give simple strategies to save you money.
