2008 IOS #5 @ Rockford, IL (DISContinuum Presents The ILLINOIS OPEN)

[Bruce Brakel]

If you are late to tee off for your round you get par + 4 on every hole you miss.  That is the only purpose for par under the rules.  

When you add a score card the easiest way is to treat every hole as par 3, even if they are not, and add up under or over 3s, and then add or subtract that to 3 X the number of holes you just played.  Par 4 holes have nothing to do with how you add up a scorecard, unless you want to add it wrong.  

When you talk about your score afterwards, your friends will be more impressed if you talk about under or over course par without telling them that's what you mean.

Prereg has been extended again. Prereg now closes Friday at 6 PM

[Jon Brakel]

Par is irrelevant. Get the lowest score possible, thats all that matters.

The only time it matters is when you get a penalty based on par. When you are late to tee off you get par plus 4 throws. When I check scores I just pretend everything is par 3 for ease of counting.

Is it some how better when Bruce says it? 

[Tom McManus]

Prereg has been extended again. Prereg now closes Friday at 6 PM

Yeah!

And check out the CFR thread for new dyed CFR Destroyers.

I think that other one was a semi-simultaneous post, Jon.  I was writing and checking on the discs in the oven.

[mirth]

Forecast for today sucks. Forecast for tomorrow and the weekend looks good.
Bring an umbrella or raingear for Sunday just in case.

[ihatecheeseheads]

Gustov is engulfing all of Illinois right now!!!!   I wonder how well the course will dry out for the weekend

[duain]

its raining hard over this way and has been since yesterday about 6pm. the permanent courses usually dont hold water just get a little muddy in spots. its the temp course im worried about cause that creek the course follows is where the rain runs off to and floods pretty bad.

[pickax]

If the creek runs high, then it just means the temp course is tighter. No worries.

[El Mexicano]

The Open division looks to be getting a good turnout.

[Tafe Hemler]

If it has been stated earlier, sorry, but are doubles random draw or bring your own?

[Jon Brakel]

If it has been stated earlier, sorry, but are doubles random draw or bring your own?

It is NOT bring your own partner. It will either be hi-lo or random draw. Bruce was planning on running hi-lo but he may have to delay his drive to Illinois in order to wait for Discraft's tee pads to arrive. It will then fall on Brett to run doubles and he will probably run random draw because he will be too busy setting up the temp course to organize the hi-lo. But either way it will NOT be bring your own partner.

[pickax]

If Bruce isn't there yet, then I will run it hi-lo.

btw. I just got off the phone with Diana.  If some of you have a large cooler that she could use this weekend, please bring it. She's been tasked with making sure you all get fed at lunch.






I was never here and this did not happen...

[tacimala]

I'll add that to my list to bring, I have a large cooler that works well. (someone else should also bring one just in case though since mornings are not good times for me to remember things )

[mirth]

I have a couple large (what I'd consider regular size when talking about coolers...) that I'll try to remember to put in the car tonight.
