Have you ever wanted to play the USDGC but couldn't get an invite? Have you ever wanted to play Winthrop Gold or at least a similarly set up course but don't want to travel all the way to SC? Here's your chance. We've re-designed Mokena's 27 hole course into 18 holes, added 2 temporary holes and laid out over 6600 feet of rope. The result, a 20 hole, 8427 foot, par 68 challenge. In addition, we are going to determine who will represent IL in this year's USDGC Performance Flight.

Reserved for Questions.
What do S and C mean on the hole by hole diagrams?
S=straight line distance
C=curve distances (the length if you exactly follow the white dashed line)
What do S and C mean on the hole by hole diagrams? I can't think of anything good!
Really excited for this event.

I am pretty sure it is the straight and curved distances.
Now it makes sense, thanks Tom!
This course looks awesome! Can't wait.
Online Pre-Registration (http://www.pdgasignup.com/Qstore/Qstore.cgi?CMD=011&PROD=1343332719) is now available.
Frank had asked me to bring down three baskets and three flypads for the alternate holes for this event. I am not going to be able to make it to this event.
Is there anyone up north that is going that would be able to bring down baskets and a couple fo flypads? Please post here if you can help out.
Thanks,
We will be playing this ropes layout at our handicap league tonight (8/7). 5:30 start.
If I wanted to play a practice round on Thursday, do I still have to check in with the park or pay a fee or anything? I haven't played a practice round there in years so not sure of the current rules.

There is no fee to play there. They were at one time asking for people to check-in at the building the first time they play there. I'm not sure if they are still doing this, I will check on it tonight.
I had a chance to play this layout at the Joliet Club Event. It is a sweet set up.
