[Cannon Boy]

This looks like a lot of fun, but I dont get back from AZ till Sat night.

The bells aren't the problem, it your endless chit-chat thats distracts and annoys.

[M. cephalus]

I have attached the monthly doubles schedule under the first post. In addition we'll be running doubles the first and third Monday of the month starting in May.

[M. cephalus]

Just bumping this to the top to remind everyone that doubles event is on the Saturday at Edgebrook. Hope to see yall there.

[Cannon Boy]

I might be attending this event.  I allready know Luke and Al are going, I might hitch a ride from LuKe.

[M. cephalus]

The bi-weekly doubles are on for today. Don't walk through slop, drive through it!

[spike]

spike's disc golf prowess and his sparkling personality will both be on display at edgebrook this evening.  he will gladly give his cash to his disc golf superiors (and i don't believe that this includes steve waters).

[M. cephalus]

That sure was a tasty dinner Spike. If you keep working real hard on your drives maybe I'll have to pay one of these days.

[spike]

m. ceph., i'm glad that you enjoyed dinner.  however, the gravy train has derailed.  there will not be a second course.

the rest of ya'll missed a fairly glorious evening at edgebrook.  we had the course all to ourselves, and we took full advantage of the situation.  it was really beautiful out there;  we had some deer come over and sniff us while we were trying to putt (i think steve took one home with him.  his wife has been out of town for awhile and he is lonely). 

anyhow...
chicago discgolfers, come on out and represent.  this is the only course within the city limits.  and ian, the new course pro/manager, is a great guy who is totally supportive of our efforts.

next events:  may 27  (saturday afternoon) at 1 ish
                  may 29 (monday evening) at 5:30 ish

Anyone planning on making the doubles this Saturday please let me know. I need to secure teetimes.

Make it out if you can as Spike desperately need to be on another card.  I apparently intimidate him.

[Mike S]

I'll be there.  I want to check this place out.  Do they sell beer out on the course?

[mirth]

chicago forest preserve = dry golf course

[mirth]

of course, if you bring your own & hide until you're out of sight from the clubhouse....

[Mike S]

of course, if you bring your own & hide until you're out of sight from the clubhouse....

Well that goes without saying.  I just thought it would be nice to have it like your average course, with a drink cart or something.  More convenient.

[spike]

yeah, it is a slight bummer that the course is dry. although it doesn't stop anyone from enjoying a cold one or two.  you just have to be discreet around the staff, don't flaunt it or anything. 

speaking of flaunting, after his -11 round at lombard last saturday, steve waters (m. ceph) should be strutting around like a peacock this weekend.  i might have to do something about that swagger.

anyway, it looks like a great weekend for disc golf.  i'll be at edgebrook on saturday.  i think my buddy sully is coming in from crystal lake and greg ross may also come in from rockford.  and then i'm off to play in terry miller's GBOGH event for sunday and monday.  a three-day holiday weekend of disc golf on ball golf courses.  i can't wait...

[spike]

a quite memorable doubles match, to say the least.  what we lacked in quantity (7 players), we more than made up for in quality.   i have a feeing that if we continue to draw the kind of great people that came out today, and build upon that, it is not out of the question that disc golfers can one day outnumber the ball golfers on this course.  and then: the sky is the limit.

not to mention that some high-quality shots were thrown by everyone, a new course record for doubles was set, and m.ceph threw about 2400 feet worth of distance in his round (he was odd-dog, or "cali" as ya'll say here).

thanks to jim, greg (whofarted), jeremy, robert paul watson, mike s, & s.waters for hanging.  the 19th hole (paterno's) was hospitable as usual, and the festivities were rounded off with a little putting, feasting, drinking and mentally adjusting at julie and spike's place.

try not to miss the next outing.  it would behoove you.
