Joliet Championships, Pro/Am B-tier: October 24-25

[stpitner]

well the good thing is that highland longs are on Sunday, and the forecast for sunday has been partly sunny with a high in the mid-50's all week.  So it shouldn't be too bad.  Now, Saturday morning might not be as fun - but I don't know how heavy that rain is supposed to be.  Afternoon will be cleared up.

I'll have Monster ($2), Gatorade ($1.50) and pop ($.75) for sale all day at Highland on Saturday.  I'll also have Cliff Bars ($2) and nuts/cashews ($1).

Free food on Sunday will be chips and chili.
We will have drinks for sale on Sunday as well.

Remember, pros go to Highland Sat AM and ams go to Lockport.


SATURDAY: 7:30-8:45 AM at your starting course, Players Meeting: 9:15 AM, Tee Time

Awesome job Dana! Chili sounds good. Thanks goes out to you and Scott for running the event, and the Army that helps.
                                                               I have some $$ for you for that disc too.

I'll be at Highland later today, if anyone wants to register and save the Sat. AM $5 late fee.

Make sure you bring water socks and extra shoes.  Lockport is very very sloppy.  Be prepared to play it. 
Thumbs up

Woo, 9 hours!  Any news on a players' party?

[CEValkyrie]

The day started off a little cold and rainy but ended very sunny and very warm. The rain wasn't bad and went away half way thru the round. Dana said there was $1300 added cash which is unreal!

Al Hermosillo absolutely destroyed Lockport with a -12 and jumped to a 3 stroke lead going into tomorrow. He aced #9 during that round.

Personally it was a very fun day. Blew up #10 at Highland for an ace. Shot -2 at Highland & -6 at Lockport. 3 back of Al and in 2nd place going into tomorrow.

Nice ace.  A -12 is unreal at Lockport.

If you have not been to Highland Park you are missing on a real treat.  It is a well designed course with very good flow between holes.  There has been a ton of work that has gone into this course. 

Thanks to Dana and Scott for putting on this event.  I am looking forward to playing Channahon tomorrow.

The player party fell through, and then we decided it was too wet to try to get a bon fire started.  However, that means it's going to give Dana and myself a chance to sleep! (haha yeah right).

The scores from today are posted:

Since I'll have power and internet at Channahon, scores will be posted immediately following the round conclusion.

Thanks to Scott and Dana for running a great event.  In the past month Frank has done quite a bit more work out at Channahon, and it has paid off.  The course is looking very good. 

I know that it is easy to say, and hard to do, but a summertime tournament at Channahon would be sweet. It would be nice to have a tourney at the course when all the trees are in full bloom.

Thanks to all the Joliet guys who worked hard to make this event happen. Congrats to Al for the big win.


Again, thank you Scott, running 9 events this year was very impressive.

[Steven Jacobs]

Looks like Grayson kicked some ass out there  Dang

[CEValkyrie]

What a great weekend of golf. There were a ton of people that pitched in to make this event happen. Thank you everyone involved!

Highland is by far the most challenging course in the Chicagoland Area.

Besides the 2 A-Tiers in Illinois this was the only other 2 day event. A lot of people missed a fantastic weekend of golf!

[Sr.]

-12 from the longs may take a while to beat. Unreal! Good shooting Al.
Great hosting with great people and lots of fun.
Looking forward to next year. Thank you goes to all involved for the nice improvements to all three courses!

Just need to clarify - the 12 down was at Trinity Links.  It included an Ace on Hole 9.

Congrats to Al for his Ace as well as Brett for his Ace on hole 10 at Highland from the white tees.
