Anyone planning on attending this event?
I have a flyer at home with key information about the event.

I am 99.9% sure i'm going.

[Dan Michler]

I plan to go also Brett.  I'm assuming advanced plays on Sunday?

It's one day, so all divisions are on Sunday. I am still thinking about it, Brett.

I think Naomi is usually a girls name Bruce, and I think all the divisions she is offering are sanctioned. I don't have the flyer with me to know what divisions are being offered.

considering how tight that course is, be sure to bring a chair, there's sure to be *lots* of backups and waiting around that day...    

[airspuds]

the extra holes should help

[airspuds]

Need a little help here...

I live in St. Louis, but will be visiting some relatives near Portage, IN the weekend of this tourney.  I was hoping to play in this tourney, but have a bit of a dilemma.  If I were to drive to this tourney I would have to drive back to Portage to pick up my girlfriend before heading back to St. Louis.  If I could get a ride to the tourney though, I could just have my girlfriend pick me up there and head home which I think would save me at least a couple of hours.  Not real sure how far Portage is from the park, so I don't know how much time it would save me.  If anyone knows of somebody living near Portage who might be willing to give me a ride, I would really appreciate it.  I will supply gas money or whatever else it takes.  

Thanks,
Andy Majesky

Andy,
    Thanks for visiting!! It looks like Portage is about 30 miles from Olympia Fields. DISContinuum is located North of Chicago & the majority of our members live north of Chicago. You may want to try posting on PDGA's Discussion board about the tournament or on the message board @ www.jolietdisc.com You might have better luck there.

BTW,
How is that course in Colinsville?    

[magic]

Hey Brett-

Thanks for the response.  I posted on this message board because Discontinuum was about the only website for the Illinois/Indiana area that had a discussion board.  I will try the PDGA message board and I tried www.jolietdisc.com, but it doesn't seem to be a valid URL.  I looked on mapquest at the distance from Portage to Sargeant Means and I saw that it was only 30 miles, but since I'm not real familiar with the area I didn't know if that 30 miles would take 30 minutes or 90 minutes.

I have only made it over to the Collinsville course once since it opened.  I played the long tees once and the short tees once.  It is a very nice course with a good mix of long and short holes, some elevation changes and water to deal with on a few holes.  Overall, a decent course and worth checking out if you happen to be in the area.  I'm heading up to Kansas City this weekend and will be playing Rosedale and Water Works.  Both courses are better than anything St. Louis has to offer.  Then again I have played Cedar Lake and Rogers Lakewood in Indiana and they are right up there with some of the best courses that I have played.

Thanks again,
Andy

Andy,

Sorry, www.jolietdiscgolf.com

The morning trip would probably only take 30-40 minutes. On a Sunday night, I-80 becomes a parking lot .


I have relatives that live in Colinsville. I'll be down there sometime, just not sure when.

Look me up when you get to Olympia Fields.

[D]

I am scheduled to work that day.. but if I can get someone to cover for me I will definetly be attending

[D]

Yay!

Co-worker asked me to cover her hours today, told her only if she'll work on Sunday for me.

I dodged a bullet there..

*TOOOOT TOOOOOT* OLY OPENER HERE I COME!

Looks like the temp will be in the 55 to 60 degree range on Sunday with clouds. It's pretty early to go off weather.com though. I'll post again on Friday after I look at the forecast if i'm going or not.

That sounds good. Dan & Diron are thinking about going. The 4 of us can carpool is we all go.

Looking at weather.com this early is kind of like speculating on the stock market. Right now it's "scattered showers" for Sunday...

I'm getting up early Sunday, checking it out & then deciding. *light* rain I could deal with if it's anywhere near 60.

[CEValkyrie]

I sent an e-mail to the TD saying that if there was no heavy rain in the forecast that Brett, Jon, Diron, Dan, & Damon would be playing. I'm waiting for a response to see if they will hold us a spot. I want to make sure we get in. There was 110 players on 24 holes last year. They have added 3 extra holes to the format this year. I don't think there will be a problem but who knows.

If for some reason we or (one of us) don't get in and we carpool together, we should probably just go play Mokena so we don't have to wait around all day.
