2ND ANNUAL BEVIER BLAST

[Myk]

As you can tell, I got up a little bit later that I thought I would.  I'll still try to be at Bevier on time though.

Jim (07-29-2002 10:33 p.m.):

Hey, great!  Does anyone have any colored (or just plain white) string or rope?  We'd need nearly 1000 feet.  If one of you guys wants to do that, I'll make sure you get reimbursed if necessary.

I can bring string, but need to know what time to be there ect...

mirth (07-30-2002 02:50 p.m.):

That is Awesome!!!!! Maybe she can help me shorten my drives... :)

*MyndCraft Grumbles*



And here I am trying to get longer drives :-)

Shawn (07-30-2002 05:30 p.m.):

excellent, Since there will be real pros coming does that mean that I can play in the Am division again?

No, I want to stand a chance thank you  :-)

[myndcraft]

Well I got a flyer up at Lippold Park yesterday and talked to a guy and his girlfriend who were out there, they sounded intrested so lets keep are fingers crossed.



Come friday I will be posting a flyer at Elk Grove village as well, if no one has yet, and if they had well I'll make sure it's still there.



Joliet... Have we put up flyers there? I know its a ling way aways, but why not? Anyways if someone has a MS-Word or better yet Star(K)-Office(stupid windows) file of the flyer could you e-mail it to me? I have a friend who goes down to visit his family ni Joliet every weekend I could have him stop and post the flyers at the various courses down there.



Thats all for now happy frolfing and see you all at leagues.

[myndcraft]

First of all Im so exiced I can't stand it!



With that being said, unless the baby decides to be born a few months early the powers themselves couldn't keep me from the Blast.



Aaron was going to play in the Rec division, but has to go out of town that weekend. He will be at leagues this Sunday though.



Theres a chance we might get a few women coming down from Wisconsin, but not sure yet.



Btw, nice Ace Brett!! Now follow up with a 2nd one during the tourney, but none of that off the tree crap :-) Just kidding Jim :-)

[myndcraft]

1 quick thing before my question...



Adrian if you read this or someone passes it on, I wasn't a member of the club when whatever happened happened, but I knw everyone speaks nothing but highly of you and wish you would come back.. So thats about all I can say to that.



Okay question time.  How early is Chain Reaction going to be out there? I need to replace a few discs for the Blast and would like to buy them from CR, but if I cant do that before the first round, I might have to stop somewhere before the tourney.



Just curious,

[myndcraft]

I need to replace my Valks I lost :-)

[myndcraft]

Wow boards been really active :-)



I am prediciting 64 people to turn out though if its rainning in the moring I would say take 10 or soo off that number.



I am going to try to get out their early, will have to see how it goes(I really should move closer Evanston is a pain)



random side note Mirth you guys hiring?



Okay back onto the Blast buisness.... So do we know if Chain Reaction is going to try to make it out their earlier before the first round?



And heres a stupid question(well maybe it isn't), but what should I bring to a tourney(other than my discs). Just wondering since well I've never played in one before or even 52 holes in one day for that matter. So any advice?



Peace everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!

[myndcraft]

Cool thanks guys, any help was appreciated :-) Shawn its too bad your not going to be there, I've never acctually witnesed your cannon arm I hear so much about :-)



VanMaster hello btw, congrats(better late than never) and it will be a pleasure to meet you.



Question about a chair for anyone, where can i find one of those little stool ones? I have one of those quad chairs but their very bulky.



Well everyone have a good day, get lots-o-rest. I wanna see some Aces tommorrow :-)

[myndcraft]

Frog]] Well I know CE-Valk(Brett) caries a rake like onject in his trunk that I have used before, if its out too far though count on wading a little water. I lost two discs out on the water last week acctually.





Mirth]] 6:00 wow your a trooper, lets see that would mean I would have to wake up at 4:00 am so I could leave by 5:00. WHile I would love to play the new holes, I doubt highly my body would let me do it. If I have a restless night and wake up early though who knows I moight see you there.

[myndcraft]

Hell as Long as I am playing I could care less where we play. I do like the idea though of having a tourney elsewhere. Round Lake would be good so would Crystal Lake.



I bet we would get a HUGE turnout at Crystal there are always a zillion people there and its 18 holes. Only problem is its a bit far away.



Anyways theres my 10 cents my 2 cents is free.



sorry I have that stupid song stuck in my head.

[tee_bird_tosser]

Im gonna try to get there kinda early too.  probably 6:30.  I just want to warm up a little and get in a little more practice with my new putter.



Whats gonna happen if the weather is really bad.  Do we just tough it out, is there going to be a make up date?

[tee_bird_tosser]

Guys great tourney!  I had to split right when we finished.  Josh was late.  He didn't really mind since he won a new disc.  Anyways, Jim and everyone, I had a Blast!  Little disappointed I didn't make top 8 for the payout, but oh well.  Next tourney I'll play better.  I really needed to practice the alternates.  I didn't think we were playing them.  I did get pretty good at the cements (under par both times).  Well thanks again!

[tee_bird_tosser]

The guys how won the Am was only a couple behind Adrain's score.

[JOsh]

Hey Jim was there a few mathematical errors on Saturday by the players?  Dave and I tied for 3rd with 83 but I looked at the scores today and he's listed at 87 I believe.  And I don't remember there being that many people in the 80's.

So many thoughts after playing the Bevier Blast. Jim and the rest of the club guys did a great job running the tournament!



There was some talk after the tourney about running a pdga tournament at Bevier. I know there were some people against it. I can understand that. A tourney like the Bevier Blast can be fun and there should be a place for them. Perhaps an additional pdga tournament could be run there. I'd like to see the course get rated. I'd like to see more players in the area exposed to the pdga. I have become a pdga "thumper" in last couple of years, and the pdga has started to do some great things for the amateur ranks.



It's something to think about.
