Thanks again Jason!  And congrats to Kurt for his first place finish in intermediate. Nice shooting.

Thanks, Randy.

And thank you Jason, for keeping the Channahon Classic alive.  Very smoothly run.  Great work finding a replacement park district on such short notice.

I know the unofficial ratings come from the spreadsheet, but something seems odd.  A 20 point spread 1st to 2nd round seems too high.  Conditions were the same, IMO.

Kurt,

I agree with you completely. I also don't think that the 45 shot by the Junior winner in the second round was only a 960 round. Hopefully when the full TD Report is sent in next week, all of that data will be corrected. Thanks again to everyone that came out, and congrats to all of the winners!

The unofficial ratings are typical for a tournament with only players under 900. In the second round, many players learn from their mistakes and save themselves a couple of strokes. If there are enough quick learners, the second round ratings will appear to be depressed. For official ratings, they will combine the two rounds and the ratings will be somewhere between the first and second round curves.

All,

I have just received word from the Park District that the Park will be open this weekend! We will be having the tournament in Channahon as I had hoped. However, this may only be the regular 18 holes. At this point, some of the areas for the alternate holes are in bad shape and will not be playable. I will go to the park and see if anything else can be layed out, but I can't make any guarantees. I hope to see everyone out there this weekend, as the forecast looks perfect. Thanks!

Went out to play Channy today, Frank was out there installing new baskets, hole 1, 2, 5, and 7 had new baskets installed, no basket on 8 so I'm assuming that hole is getting one too..  Course was a little wet but not any water where there isn't normally, very playable.  Insane amount of mosquito's but other than that it's ready for this weekend IMO..

Jason McKinney, along with all his helpers did an outstanding job this weekend and last weekend.  We were our of there in record time today. Everything ran smooth. It was a great event. I really like the new alternates that they used. Overall an A+ job by Jason running these events.

I got a chance to play the first round with Frank Grimes today.  He has done an amazing amount of work on this course. It was in great shape.

Great job! Thank you.

Some great wotk on elevated baskets, retaining walls and very nice tees. Man were those mosquitoes brutal!

Jason & crew did an awesome job today! Thank you!

Frank has done an awesome job with Channahon as usual. Every year I show up at Channahon he has something new. Thanks Frank!
Many new baskets.
Hole #2 moved across the creek.
All the long tee pads now have cement tees. (2 of which have moved and are very tough.)
More landscaping.
UNBELIEVABLE!

All,

I have the results all ready to go and to post on the PDGA website, but I can't get the page to open  . I will try one more time before I crash for the night, and then I will get everything posted. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves and I appreciate all the kind words. If there is any constructive criticism, I am open to that as well. If I am going to continue to do this, I would like ti to go as smooth as possible for both the players and myself. Thanks!

Jason

[Sr.]

Thanks again Jason and crew for another well run tournament!  And special thanks to Frank Grimes for getting that course ready in such a short time from the flood. It was beautiful.
