2007 Channahon Classic 9/22-23

[Tom McManus]

Congrats to Brett for the 1041 rated round. 

Thanks to Frank for all the work.  This course is getting more challenging every year. I think this course works your game more than Mokena.

Channy has gotten alot tougher and is one of the most fun courses in the chicagoland area by far.  It plays even tougher when your putting makes you look like a retard trying to hump a door knob.

Frank has done a tremendous job out at Channahon. This is my 4th year at the event & the changes are drastic. Long & short cement tees. Many new trees that are blocking off easy spike hyzer routes. The elevated basket has changed hole #4 completely. Flowers and plants all over. This is Chicagolands best course right now.

The vast majority of cash paid for those trees, timbers, etc., comes from Frank's wallet.  The vast majority of sweat shed in planting the trees (and flowers, native plants, water lillies, etc.) , building the berms, installing the tees, building the benches, and on and on comes from Frank's brow.

Oh, and tears shed because of vandalism -- those are Frank's too.

Kurt, apparently you'll need to change your board handle. 

Great job! Sorry I missed it.

... and so much for your theory on 2nd-day letdowns!

Thanks, Damon.  Great weather, great people, great time.  Take care of that back, we missed you out there.

Earlier this week I ran my numbers for the past year and found my second day ratings are, on average, 10 points higher.  So yeah, that theory pretty much blows.

It was nice to take home one of Gary's unique trophies.  It'll make a good addition to my collection.  Oh, wait ...

[Tom McManus]

Kurt, Congrats on your first win.  You played solid golf all weekend long.  Looks like you have the points series all but wrapped up.

[Chainmeister]

Who needs age protected divisions.  Nice shooting Kurt!

Thanks, guys.

"Points series"?

We also need to thnk the guys that go down to joliet and play the weekday leagues. One of the 50/50 CTPs every week go to Gary Lewis at the end of the season party and that gets handed out to Frank for the course improvements as well. So thanks Joliet disc golfers and Frank too!

Thanks for that info. I have not gotten in 1 50/50 at any of Gary's tournaments since I did not know where the $ was going.
