If you want a shirt in your players package you need to pre reg by Sept. 30th
adv master this year
my buddy is also going to reg in this as well
if anyone cares
damon /dave b ??
does anyone know what courses will be played by divisions?
If I remember correctly (PDGA site is currently down);
Open-2 rds. on Silver w/ 3 gold holes
Adv.-2 rds. on Blue-longs
Int.-2 rds. on Red
Rec.-2 rds on White-longs
Sorta wish I was playing Blue/Silver instead of 2 on Blue's, but this tourney is to remember Homie, not to please me, so whatever, I'm playing.
I see the same thing on the redroc website.
I guess that keeps it much simpler for the TD which is a good thing. Wish advanced was playing Red.

3. long tee
4. long pin

I like the two rounds on the same course and the reasonable entry fees. Nonetheless, I think I'm staying home this year. I forget what it is, but there is something on the home schedule.

I just signed up for Adv. GM. We will probably be on the same course. Since I will be on the boottom of my division I may be in your group if there is an odd number. : :P I didn't want to play all white all day. I like the blue and red courses and would have been happy with either one. Looking forward to it even though I have not thrown much lately.
61 so far
going to be some long non pre reg lines
weather looking good
bag tag ?? I ll try to find mine
you played with tueth at west park
he about beat me on long blue last week

I signed up on friday through the pdga website. They have not updated the prereg list since late Thursday/early Friday. I think that there may be quite a few people that have not been added to the pre-reg list.
Tom is right. I also pre-reg'd and am not shown. 75 and sunny on Sunday. Expect 250+ players. I think the increased pre-reg and the simplified format with each division just playing 1 course 2 times should make things go smoother than usual. Looking forward to it.
I registered last night. Should be an awesome turnout as usual.
Quote from: Dan Michler on October 04, 2011, 10:11:15 AM
with each division just playing 1 course 2 times
thats whats causing me to be hesitant. i have not played any of the Lemon Lake courses (its really sad i know) and would be far more inclined to go if i got to play 2 different courses in one trip. but with the weather looking like it is, im leaning on going anyway and trying to fit a cpl of courses in during the breaks and after the 2nd round.
will divisions play on their own schedules after tee off time? as in will our second round tee times be based off of when the overall last card comes in or when the last card from our course comes in?
also, could someone give me an idea please as to what kind of time does it takes to play a tourny round there?
i appreciate it and thanks in advance
This is an all-day event which is a ton of fun. But it tends also to be pretty chaotic. I would not count on being able to play other courses during your lunch break as each course has a different run length. White is fast. Red is about 30 minutes shorter than Blue IIRC.
Like Mike says, this event is a lot of fun. One thing to be aware of, you have to pay a fee at the gate to enter the park. This event is on the calendar for a lot of people. Pre-reg has jumped up, no where near the 250 that Dan had mentioned, but I would think that 250 is pretty close to what the turnout is going to be.

Lemon Lake is an example of a pay to play course that is well worth it. I think there are no great courses but blue, red and silver/gold are extremely good. White is above average. You have a lot very good golf on well manicured courses a delightful park.
The gate fee pays for dedicated maintenance to the disc golf park and is worth every dollar. Go there to celebrate life and disc golf! Go with the flow and don't expect the celebration to end until after the sun goes down!!!

so what questions did you answer that i asked in my previous post? i am asking questions to better inform myself of how the tournament will be run. instead you provide an un-needed snide comment. thanks, you're no better than myself. :P ill be down here playing disc when you get off your horse.
and theres only one p2p ive ever played that was not worth it to me. ill gladly hand them $4 for that complex.
I call them as I see them !
What airspuds is trying to say is that there are certain qualities you will find at an IOS that you will not find at a Red Roc event. Just as their are certain qualities that you'll find at the Homie that you won't find at an IOS. They are two different beasts.

double standards and hypocritical
to smyith
in answer to a question you asked
in the past
each pool has run on its own schedule
but the pool that finished first has had to wait
for the pool that finished last
so that collecting prizes could be an insane nightmare

thank you very much, bruce! was curious for car pool reasons. honestly i hope the awards part takes awhile, gives me more time to try and play whatever holes i can before they start.
This is a must play tournament for any avid disc golfer that lives within 3 hours. It's well worth it. I think it's the best tournament in the Chicagoland Area. The player pack is pretty solid every year. The vibe is awesome. The value is very good for what you get. Player pack, lunch, 2 rounds of golf, good payouts, mini golf, & usually great weather. I'm not sure that i'm a big fan of only getting to play 1 course this year but at least I play one of the better courses. If I was playing White or Blue I might be a little more irritated. I have been to every Homie since 2003. Do what it takes to play. There are already 100 players signed up. Last year there were 237 players. This event is huge! Sign up now!!!!!!!!!!!

I highly suggest anyone contacting him.

Since I started the post I get to post whatever I want.
>:D
Just show up and play smyith. Its tough to predict how it will be run because it seems to change every year. Just plan for it to take a long time and be pleasantly surprised if it goes quicker. The one thing you can count on is the huge field, which is why I play it.
What has been missing from recent posts and the MAIN reason for playing is to remember Matt "Homie" Lovasko. Even if you never knew or met him, his family and friends just want to see the DG community gather in memory of him. Matt's mom is just as happy to see first time participants as she is to see us old guys that were at the first Homie's. So, regardless of the course played or how long it takes, come on out and help put a bigger smile on Homie's mom's face!
Well said Tafe. Up to 111 players now!!!! See everyone Sunday.
not sure final count
could be as high as 250
Matt's mom in good spirits , I got my hug.
long blue both rounds
65 with about 4 mistakes then 60 second round _ 6 4's no 5's or 6's
hole 10 scored 6 then 4 (hit nice putt in second round )
perfect day for disc
fly on homie !
At 250 it might be the second biggest B-tier in the PDGA this year.
It was a beautiful day here too. Hopefully next year the Homie will work out with my schedule.
Great event as usual. Been to every one since 2003. The weather was awesome! I asked Brian and he thought attendace was around 230.
