25 of those discs that you aren't suppose to be able to find... came in.  CFR Champion GAZELLES - weights range from 162 to 152 - Clear Pearl, Blue, Orange and Pink...

Guys, want to buy a light weight quality disc for the girlfriend?  How about a 152g Pink Champion Gazelle?  $20.00 shipped with CFR Certificate.

Love the way a DX Gazelle flys but want one that doesn't beat in too quick?  Try a Champion 10g lighter...

I will be PMing those who got in line first with their weight and color options.  Once I get thru those folks, I will post the available color/weight combos.

Thank you all who pm'd in advance.

McManus should be all over those. He's the only guy i've seen throwing a Gazelle in years.  He might tell you he's buying for his girlfriend though.

Rumor has it that Douglas Park will have some revised Temp holes just for this tourney.

already in Both, can't wait. I live directly in the middle of both, so no hotels needed

For the first time ever...  Discraft SDGC STAMPED ELITE Z BUZZZ...

[pdga#7648]

does anyone know what tees will be played at Lincoln??? Those whit/blue look VERY VERY LONG and tough. Went and checked out both courses today. Douglas very ridiculous, every hole is very capable of being a 2 from short tees.
At Douglas, is there a mando on hole #2?  I went HYZER thru the woods for a 2.

[Jwt4412]

Clark Wright has shot -17 down at Douglas...  that being said - we have alternate pins at Douglas.  You will be playing different pins at the tourney... [read it will play harder]

We will mixing up the layout at Douglas this year for the Tourney...  Ziggy has been Jonesing for temp holes for 3 years...  He now gets his wish.

If you are not playing Rec or Intermediate... you will be playing Lincoln from the Longs.  Open from the Blues...  Advanced from the Whites... unless there is not 9 people in a division - need 9 for your rating to count - if that's the case Open and Advanced would play from the same tees...

We have alternate pins for Lincoln as well - Lincoln will be even harder than you saw today - don't worry about being challenged by the course...  she can keep up with anybody's game that shows up.

At leagues today we were discussing the tourney from the Blues for Advanced and Open amd Intermediate from the Whites...

[pdga#7648]

Advanced, from the Reds was hard enough. +2 1st time ever seeing it.

At least I have seen the course some, I guess.

[Jwt4412]

Machine shot even from the Whites today at Leagues...

To be honest, I would never tell somebody to drive more than an hour to play Douglas... but you don't "love" the game if you are not willing to drive 6 hours to play Lincoln in its Tourney Set-up...  It will challenge you.

11 from the longs in the long alternate pin position - is as good as it gets...

9 from the Blues will test anybody's true golf-shot distance...

14 is as difficult risk vs. reward hole you will come by not relying on gimmicks to be memorable.

I promise you... you will remember playing Lincoln.

*evil g*

I like to think douglas is a warm-up for the lincoln factor.

History has dictated such with the douglas-lincoln debate.

There will be some modifications to douglas to provide a pucker factor as well as some out of bound lines to make you think twice.

With this in mind, lincoln will still hit you hard if you can't keep your disc in bounds! 9 holes have seen "circles" on the scorecards.

Wish I knew you were in town, would have been glad to show you a couple tricks.

Btw, #2 douglas - come oct 4. Mando left of the gap - aim for the opening down the hill that you walked up to #3.

[pdga#7648]

Thanks.
Figured so about Hole #2. Too easy of a 2 thru the opening.

Machine beat me by a stroke last weekend at the Morton Pumpkin Festival, 108, 109

Need a few of the birdies I had hit chains & out stay in then if we playing the whites.



Thanks again.

Any recommendations for a good hotel? I have never been down to Springfield or Bloomington. I am taking the wife and kids along for a long weekend. Appreciate the help.

This link will take you to a page that will pre-fill the info needed for either a Saturday night stay or a Friday night stay or both...

Microtel is has been a sponsor of our club for the last three years...

It is a newer hotel and it is extremely clean.

We have all the major chain hotels if you are a "points" hound with a frequent traveller program like Priority Club or Marriott... etc.
