Thanks to Alan Webster for stepping up and sponsoring $100 to go as added cash to the Pro Purse!

A couple registrations have come in - I hear lots of going talk going on from the folks out in Sinnissippi - going to be well worth the trip out there!  Pin placements will probably be in a lot of different places than the IOS later in the year, so it's going to feel like a whole different course.

[stpitner]

Tim McNinch will be out there offering food for players this year.  It will be freshly grilled and most likely sold for donations that will go towards course improvements.  He's still working out the details.

[stpitner]

Tim has informed me that baskets are in tournament positions, so go get warmed up!  We're working on making sure the hole with throwing off the hill shot is a temp hole and a 2nd temp hole from 18 to the parking lot to help get back to hole 1.

sent check today. Glad advanced division is on Sunday. With son a starting pitcher and 2nd baseman on the sophomore baseball team, going to be hard to play any Saturday tournaments until June. Except the A-Tier at Lemon Lake.

See ya soon Scott.

Ryan - got your pre-reg, your name is on the pre-reg list.

Currently at 27 Saturday and 20 Sunday.  Those numbers are definitely going to grow - definitely worth coming on out!

[duain]

the course was busy today. lots of discs flying. the park district was out mowing and cleaning branches up. can someone contact them about garbage cans, very few and far between. people are leaving trash where the cans use to be.

can someone contact them about garbage cans, very few and far between. people are leaving trash where the cans use to be.

sounds like you just nominated yourself for that job.

[Sr.]

What's the water level around the island hole Duain?

[stpitner]

this is a quote from an email that Tim sent to Doug at the park district on March 20th - hopefully they still follow up:

Please check on the number of trash barrels and provide us a few extra near the Tee Pads.

Anybody use one of the restrooms today @ the main pavilion?  They are supposed to be back open, but I definitely want to make sure!

[duain]

 when i was there yesterday  the creek around 5 barely went past the top of my shoes. The bathrooms were still closed.

[stpitner]

I emailed Tim about the bathrooms, and he told me that the bathrooms will either be open or he will see to it that a porta-potty will be there.  Thank you Tim!

[CESAROE]

Bathrooms are open. The course is getting heavy traffic but is looking great. The pin locations provide good variety of shots. 4 of the newest pin locations are in play on holes 1, 5, 8, and 17.

40 people signed up for Saturday, 27 for Sunday - going to be a BUSY weekend - be sure to pre-register and make sure you get a spot, we max at 100 each day!  There were 98 each day of the IOS last year out there!

[pdga#7648]

hope the weather holds up. raining hard here in Pekin now

[Dan Michler]

the chance of rain tomorrow is listed as 0%.  looking at the radar, there is nothing even remotely close to approaching the area.  i'd say we are in for a beautiful day.

[stpitner]

50 people signed up for Saturday, 31 for Sunday so far.  Should be a very busy weekend - thanks to those that pre-registered!  Get out there early tomorrow because I have a feeling there's going to be a bunch of walkups as well!
