The previous tournament held at Lemon Lake was fantastic, very well run.  Beutiful championship caliber course, well maintained and very versatile.  This is a must play for any disc golfer!

Definitely one of the most fun and best run tourneys I've been to and the competition is great there too.

[Dan Michler]

48 bucks for Advanced for a 1 day event is totally unnecessary and ridiculous in my opinion.  This is supposed to be just for fun, but paying 50 bucks just to play amateur isn't really that much fun to me.

[stpitner]

Out of curiosity I wonder how much of the money is being designated towards food costs.  I enjoy the homie, wish the rates weren't higher this year.  Free lunch and dinner is cool, but hopefully payouts will be still good.

And for those of you who haven't been there before, don't forget that there's a $2 fee to get a day pass to use the park.  I believe it's free if you buy the year pass from the state?  I know other states do that, not sure about Indiana.

Played these two courses on sunday, and boy were the mosquito's BAD. If anyone is heading out there anytime soon, I recommend some serious deet. I think the 5 of us went through about 3 cans in 72 holes. Other than that, the course was in great condition.

[Jon Brakel]

Homie is always a victim of it's own success (that just means don't expect to get out of there at 3:30pm!). But they have free food AND the payout is good. I wonder if the price increase is just to try to keep the tournament size more reasonable. If so, I wonder if it will work.

It doesn't seem so because Special Ed players such as myself only pay $18.  I am thrilled but agree with Dan that the price is awful steep for him.  If he cashes I suspect he will bring home a trunk full of plastic that he doesn't really need. It looks like a sucker bet for a 915ish rated player as he is going to be a donor at $48. Also a 900ish rated old guy might as well save $20 and play Intermediate rather than Masters or Grandmasters.   For $18 I really don't care what place I am in as long as I like my rounds.  In any case, its big fun and I plan to be there.

[Mukey]

I kinda agree with Dan. It's a $10 increase from last year for Pro & Adv. Not so bad for the Pros as at least they can play to get their cash back. Maybe they're using the extra $ to pay for all the food? Who knows. Like Dave said, good price for me ($28) and a lot of fun. Hopefully I shoot better than at IN State. 

[Jon Brakel]

I'm pretty sure that the food is donated by Matt's family. $48 seems a little pricey for Advanced.

Oh yeah, if you cash you'll be there late. I think Josh Younkin said he was there until 7-7:30 when he cashed at IN States....

[Bruce Brakel]

It is always a good tournament.  It is not run nearly as well as an IOS, but good courses and food make up for it.  I can understand the Advanced price shock.  I guess you have to decide for yourself whether it is worth it. 

[Dan Michler]

If the extra money were going to food or anything else used for all the players at the tournament, then why would only the Advanced price have gone up so much?  I'd rather pay 28 bucks and know there is no payout at all than play for 48 bucks and try to win some discs.  I can still play if I choose and not have to stress about my bank account because of 50 bucks, but I think Brian Cummings should realize that alot of Amateur disc golfers are in their teens and low 20's and can't afford to throw this much down to go throw some frisbees.

[damonshort]

Also a 900ish rated old guy might as well save $20 and play Intermediate rather than Masters or Grandmasters.

yeah, the difference was only $10 last year I think, so I paid the extra to play with kids my own age, but at $20 this year I don't know.....

[skipache]

so kids like me will need a third job to pay for disc golf expendatures

[stpitner]

well, do they consider "novice" to be the same as rec @ $18?  Or does Rec fit into the "other am divisions" at $28?  If rec is $28, then it went up from last year.  I think I paid $22-$25 and that included ace fund and 50-50 pot (I think that was what they were for).  I just remember that when I went to register the price they told me was higher than i thought it would be even if I was in the ace fund.

I hopefully will still be able to make it out.  I like the courses.  Hopefully this year the guys taking registrations will show up on time

[Jon Brakel]

Novice, Rec, AMIII, MA3, it's all the same division.

You forgot Enthusiast.

ya the price seems high compared to other tourneys in the area. This tourney is a good time though... At indiana state they announced that if you were not in the final nine you could cash out and leave.  So im not sure what the problem was there... If you were in the final nine they did the awards directly after.. Post back your thoughs thanks.

Can anyone hazard a guess as to whether everyone's playing the same tees for this? Or does anyone have actual information on this?
