around what time does the tourney usually end? I want to try to make it home on time to finally watch the bears.

The Bears play at Noon on the 8th so not only will the game be over, but the players will already be at home. Don't expect to get out of the Homie before 6pm.

It doesn't really matter.  The Bears/Bills game is at noon.  You will not see any of it no matter how early you may get out.  In any case, I doubt you will be in your car before 5pm but I have not  played this one before.  Looking forward to it. I will listen to the radio and hear about the victory on the way home.

Holy Crap!

They mentioned this last year at Riverside but I had a hard time believing that people still played with the course like that.

Had to suck trying to find discs....

[airspuds]

This was emailed out this morning...  hopefully this area has not been affected too much by the rain!  Since it's only a 1-day event, I'm presuming it's 1 round per course for 2 total rounds, not 2 rounds of each of the 2 courses making 4 total rounds?  4 rounds would be insane! 84 holes in one day? hehe

This Sunday at Lemon Lake.

2 rounds of 2 different 21 hole courses.

$1500 added to the pro purse...

Weather forecast 71 degrees

Right it's only 42 holes. 84 would be near impossible in one day with the projected big field showing up. Would be fun though!

Just got another email about this. Additional details that were added:

Lunch will be provided.

Doubles....Saturday 10-7-06 at 2:00pm

Lemon Lake is on CENTRAL TIME!!!!!!

Homie is the real deal.  Bowling Green is the king's new clothes.  Seriously, what does Bowling Green have that makes it so special besides a big attendance?  Two good courses of the four you play?  CTPs?  No.  Jumbo tosses? No.  Food?  No.  Bowling Green is a totally naked, fat monarch. 

Unless you want to get your Worlds points in one weekend and take the rest of the year off.

[Jon Brakel]

What Bruce said. At the Homie you get lunch and dinner (they don't advertise dinner but they've always had plenty of food for anyone that wants dinner), two great courses and good payouts for both pros and ams, and a TD that delivers a well run tourney. Have fun all that are going. This is the kind of event that I'd go just to take pictures but I need to catch up on homework and get the IOS #6 TD report done.

Actually I'd say Bowling Green has only 1 good course (keriakes).  The rest are mostly boring except for a few holes.  But the large attendance makes it alot of fun.  Lemon Lake is a great course and you get the food action which is what its all about.

... two great courses....

well, a great course and a half. some of the temp holes were pretty dull out in the open field, but they had to do something to stretch it to 21x2 I guess.

When I'm being critically honest, I try to be generous.  Some people like Keriakis, some like Hobson Grove.  But Lovers Lane and White are just cow pastures like Fairfield.  Other than the fact that the tournament has reached critical mass for self-generating large fields, it is really nothing. 

Last year Homie had food, CTPs, payouts, cool trophies, two good courses and a lot of players.  Homie has it all.

I would agree that the temp holes leave something to be desired.  I've played it twice and the temp holes were made easier and duller the 2nd time.  I heard that 3 years ago they were pretty tough.  The land is defnitely out there to make great holes if they want to.

[tacimala]

From those pictures I've seen though I'm sure it makes it tough to put in some of those extra holes in the lower ground areas due to the massive amounts of water.

Anyone headed out for doubles on Saturday also?
