Are you going to just mix all different kinds of soups?  Or should people bring a specific soup?

(Not that I can go )

[Dan Michler]

why did you have to say anything dana?  i would have enjoyed hearing about the tomato/cream of mushroom/chicken noodle combo soup.

I think I have a recipe for SPAM soup. Maybe everyone should just bring a couple cans of SPAM.

Who played this last year? How hard was it to find your disc in the snow?

The 10:20 AM start was great.  Finding discs in the snow when it is dark is a bonus. 

[OvEr HaNd AsSaSiN]

It was very hard to find your disc in the snow... there was about 8 inches of snow on the ground... really had to watch your disc...

Is there a pre-reg setup for the event?

I am allergic to mushrooms, so how are soups going to be dealt with?

Not to worry, there will be a full menu for those allergic to mushrooms.  Thanks for asking though because this is often a big selling point looking back through Abominable Snowman disc golf history.

Jason, can you make sure to save me a spot in this event?  I might be running a little late, but I should be there.  If it gets to be like 11am or something, just go ahead and start without me and I'll just start on Hole 1 and catch up on my own.

hole 19 was a bear for finding discs.  When you tee it looks like you'll find it no problem ,but then you walk a slight downhill, and once you get out there it's just a sea of white snow.  I highly recommend a spotter on 19 (whether it's the short version with temp baskets by tree or the long 660' version)

I still wish I could get back my 163 or 164g lime green Champ Wraith that disappeared on 17.  I went back out there everyday for about a week trying to find it.  I found a couple other discs on 4, 6, and 11 that I returned - all of them in super easy spots to find if there was no snow.

There are also lots of people that love to walk that course and pick up discs - if you lose one, you're more than likely not going to get it back unless it's found that day.

Well now that I know that Emeril is coming to this event I might have to sign up.  "Ok, We're just gonna put a little more spice in the pot and...SPAM...."

I had an easy 3 turn into a re-tee 5 with a few holes to go.

Is anyone going to this that lives near Des Plaines.  I would like to play, but I need a ride that day.

I will help pay for gas/food.

Thanks

Hi I was thinking about coming out on Saturday but I had some questions...

What do we get for  the players pack?
Is there going to be a flymart and will the discs be out all day or just at the end like last year?

[bigeric]

edit; nevermind this is listed at the bottom;
*$5 Online service fee is included in the registration amounts below.  If you wish to save the $5 online fee you can contact the Tournament Director by calling, 630-261-5078 or e-mailing him mayfairdg at yahoo.com



Is there a reason that on the pre-reg site, all the divisons are listed as $5 more to pre-reg than the prices listed here and midwestdiscgolf Usually its the opposite.

[treeMD]

So what are the conditions like on the course?  how much snow do you guys have on the ground?  im trying to decide if its worth my time to make the trip up there

[dana]

might be all gone by saturday, it may be in the 50s+
