We have negotiated a $50.00 room rate with the local Microtel in Springfield if you want to come down for the Saturday event in Springfield and stay for the Bloomington event on Sunday.

There are 8 of these rooms available as well as some large suites for $65.00.

More info to follow on how to get the rooms, if there is interest.

Brett-

Parking at PJ is going to be a problem.  Also, there is a bunch of OB that need to be marked off (as you know).  I like the 07PW Flag idea...are you going to be marking the property lines along holes 2,3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 16, and 18? Along a few of those holes there is a downed fence-line that we use, but it is not all that 'defined'.  You could make the ob line the parking lot for hole 10.  If you dont make the corner for hole 9, the ob fence line is not far off...You might want to talk to Rob about all the property/ob lines, he'll know more than me.

Dana,

    Do you know if we can park on the street in that subdivision? I don't recall seeing no parking signs. Also, could you check for parking signs at the 2 apartment buildings on Morris Ave? That might be an option.

    As far as the OB i'll make sure the ob is well defined. If you guys want permanent OB I have some ideas for you. It's pretty simple and you'd be able to use the same for now on.

PM me your cell & rob's # if you have it.

Thanks
Brett

Brett-

Tomorrow I'll try and scout out around the park for some other parking.  There are 2 entrances up near 18, also, maybe back near 12 (basket) and 13 (tee) may have some options.  Not sure about the APT complex, I'll have to check.

Thanks Dana. I'll give you a call this weekend.

My dad took some pictures of both courses. I'll try to get those uploaded in the next week or so.

I am driving to St. Louis tomorrow but expect rain. I plan on trying these courses sometime Saturday on the drive home.  I figure to get to B-N around 1.  Looking forward to checking out the courses.  yes, Brett, I am planning on playing in October.  I hope to see you before then.

I uploaded the pictures my dad took at PJ Irvin. He forgot to take a picture from the tee of #4 but will do so when he returns from vacation. Thanks dad!

I have 2 pics of 16's sign & tee that I have to figure out how to remove. I hope to have Maxwell uploaded in the next few days.

I deleted the duplicate photo, deleted the empty PJ album that was not in the courses area and rearranged the albums so that PJ is on the first page of albums in courses and my old school photos are on the second page.

Thanks Jon!

[Jon Brakel]

Thanks Jon!

No problem. I'm at the support site today that we don't do any support for anymore but are contractually obligated to be here until the end of September, so I had the time. I'm like the Maytag repair man here...whoops I hear the giraffe machine alarm going off, gotta go!!!

Will there be a drop-zone on hole 14 at PJ? If you go OB near the road, it is a pretty dangerous spot..you are at a bit of a blind spot from incoming traffic

[CEValkyrie]

Here is a link to Maxwell Park pictures. Thanks again dad!

On 13 & 14 there will not be a drop zone. I'll make sure to mention that if your disc out of bounds or near the road you can take a reasonable 2 meters off the road so you are not playing right on the edge of the road instead of the usual meter relief.

[dana]

K, keep in mind that on 14 you can end up right next to the road but it is right next to the hill going up towards the basket- tough to go 2 meters in.

  I've only seen a few discs land back there but it is pretty dangerous..
