2007 Illinois State Championships

Like a dummy, I waited until the last minute and pre reg in closed.  Anyone know how full it is?  Pdga.org shows very few intermediate registered, but I don't know how current that is.  Wonder how early I need to show up Sat to get in?

Get there by 8 & you should have no problems. Gary doesn't get a lot of pre-reg, mostly same day. There will be a lot of people though, so don't wait until 9.

Thanks Mukey.

Was great weather, if a bit windy, and a great time. Good to see friends from Peoria & the Quad Cities make it out.

Jay Rawlings Aced #7 first round, which was also a 50/50 hole.

Joe Stephens took Intermediate.

Good luck to all playing tomorrow!

Good going JR!

[J.R.]

Thanks all.  I played like a blind monkey on Sat., but I had one good shot at least. Picked the right time to hit my first ace.

JAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! NICE JOB ON THE ACE MAN!!!  Geez, was there a Disc Golf Alley ace pot on the line today as well?

The thought occured to me.  But I doubt it.  I don't know what the rules are, but there were only 5 DGACers there.

Nice Jay! Looks like that practice on the 4th paid off! I was out there tonight and hit the basket on that same hole myself!

Yeah, well for that shot at least.      I came pretty close to it the second round too.

[stpitner]

ok, so there was a guy that came over to talk to me after the tournament was over Sunday evening at Mokena, and I'm sorry but I don't think I ever caught your name!  You helped me carry a couple baskets from Bruce's van to my van.  Thanks for the help, and sorry I didn't get a chance to say bye!  It was nice to chat with you.

[Bruce Brakel]

Hey, all.  I played poorly but am glad I went.  I'll see you in Milwaukee next week.

JAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! NICE JOB ON THE ACE MAN!!!  Geez, was there a Disc Golf Alley ace pot on the line today as well?

Awesome job!

Local clubs represented well. Randy Moore Jr (from the Fox Valley Metro club) also hit an ace. I forgot which one he said it was, but it was over 300 feet. Randy came in 7th in Advanced.

And Tree (Gary Camp) took 1st place in Advanced Masters.

Scores are up.  Thanks Adoni.

To those of you who were there on that back up hole when I was talking to the junior, the 16 and under junior entry fee was so low, no payout was required.  If the junior said he paid $22, he must have been including the ace pool and the 50/50 CTPs.  So if Gary paid the top 6, that was 6 more than he was required to pay.

I learned two powerful lessons yesterday at the State Tournament.

1) Two rounds at Mokena is more of an endurance contest than a golf tournament;

2) When you're intending to drive with an Orc and you've got a Sidewinder that's about the same color, be sure the disc in your hand is the Orc.

so i guess ill go back to work so i can use that as an excuse for being a chucker

[pickax]

Good to hear you have a job again. Congrats.

[adoni]

Scores are up.  Thanks Adoni.

Not a problem Bruce.  It was a great day and I enjoyed playing both rounds with you.  I realized that I CAN play this silly game if I don't screw up.  DUHH!!!!!   

[skipache]

disc golf tournaments should have some endurance to them.
I mean if pro masters are going to call themselves professional athletes they better be able to handle a long day and some hills. I mean come on now , Lee Trevino does walk the 5 miles of a his tournament courses complainin cuz h'es tired. Fitness should be important to the game just like every other sport

[Tom McManus]

Does anyone know if the scores from this event are going to make the next update?
