2005 ILLINOIS OPEN SERIES

[CEValkyrie]

That's a bummer Doug!


All 12 permanent baskets are flagged & have the orange crush tape on them. Boy do they glow!

Adrian Sr. is doing the final work on #9 tonight so it should be in the long position later this evening.

The Thorntons on the corner of 131 Green Bay Rd. & Sunset has regular unleaded for $2.76. It's only a couple of miles from the course.

Also, I will be buying some pizza after the event at Potesta's for anyone who helps take down the temp holes, flags, & signs. It is about 4 miles from the course. It's on 131 Green Bay Rd just North of 120. My limit is $50.00. It's always fun to hange out after an event & eat some ZA.

Have a good one guys. Wish I could be there though. We're having Ella's baptism this weekend and we have family in from out of town. I don't think they'd be too happy with me if I skipped out for a day of d-golfing. I hope to be at the last one. Looks like I should be able to make both #7 and the Widdershins as the Cyclones play away games those weekends.

Sorry you can't make this one. Family comes first. I'll see you at Widdershins. I can't make IOS #7 on Saturday.

The weather for Saturday looks great! 70-74 all day with wind less than 10 all day. I'll be out at the course around 2:30pm today until dark if you want to register. The course is looking great & we have around 40 players pre-registered.

If there is anyone coming to IOS #6 tomorrow that has a Chainstar, Discatcher, or any type of DGA Mach2,3,5, please bring it. Currently I have my 2 Chainstars, the clubs 2 Mach 2's, & Bruce's Mach3. Sergio is bringing his Chainstar and Spike is bringing his Mach3. The other 3 baskets are going to be Discatcher sports or other portables like it. I'm hoping to upgrade those 3. Please PM me if you do. T
Thanks
Brett

The course routing is posted on the previous page of this thread in case you wanted to get some practice in today. Mirth posted it with an attachment.

Brett, let me know if you still want/need my M14. I'd like to avoid bringing it if you don't need it.

I'll be bringing mine this afternoon. Hopefully I'll run in to you. Probably won't be until sometime between 3:00 and 4:00.

I won't know until tomorrow morning if i'll need it or not. If possible it would be nice to have in case of an emergancy.

Bevier is looking pretty sweet! The park district did a bunch of work today. I want to thank Adrian Sr., Dan, & Mike C. for helping me get the course set up!. I aslo want to thank everyone bringing a basket. Without those we wouldn't be plaing 2 rounds of 22 holes.

Thanks guys for running a great event today and congrats to Brett for making his debut in Open Pro by taking 1st!

Sorry I couldn't stick around to help tear down the course. The wife really needed my help!

[Dan Michler]

yeah, fun event today for sure.  congratulations Brett!!  1st Place in his 1st real Open event!  thats awesome.

[CEValkyrie]

I just wanted to thank everyone that made this event happen. Thanks to Adrian Sr., Mike, & Dan for the course work prior to the event. Thanks to Mike & Dan for helping me get the baskets up in the morning. Thanks to Mike, Dan, & David for helping tear down after the event. Thanks to Spike, Todd, Kurt, Mike, & Sergio for bring their baskets. Without you guys there is no way I could get the course set up. Between course prep, tee signs, rope, & portable baskets we probably logged around 40 hours between us this week. I hope you guys enjoyed the course. With the 10 teimp hole Bevier becomes the best course in Lake County for 1 day.

Thanks to all the players that showed up. You participated in the biggest event at Bevier to date. It grows every year. I hope you had fun.

Isn't talking trash at children a misdemeanor in Illinois?

Great tournament, guys.  That course setup was really nice, a lot of interesting holes that were pretty tough.  Those final four holes were crazy.

How much is the ace pool going into Fairfield?

speaking of the final 4 holes,  clearly all the practice that Brett and I put in on those holes really paid off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!      at least i got over the pond on the 3rd hole. i definitely didn't want to lose my backup Orc on saturday.

note to self:  trying to throw the disc through a wall on every shot will get u into alot of trouble.

I can report on that later tonight after I get home from work. I think we took in around $200 in ace pool money, but I'll double check at home. It will be over $300 for sure for Fairfield.
