Announcement- The Pine Hills Event for this weekend is officially postponed until Saturday, March 30th.  The Pine Hills management and groundskeeper have decided that with the current snow on the ground and more in the forecast followed by 40-50 degree weather that the course will be closed/unplayable.  I agree with them fully and I apologize for the inconvenience. I should have done a better job with scheduling the event in the first place.  Full refunds will be given, or you want you can roll it over to March 30th.  Everything will be the same for the series.  Please help me spread the word to anyone who was planning on coming out.  I'll be contacting everyone that is pre-registered.

[pdga#7648]

great start to the series Dana. Some of those holes I had not seen before, like #8 where our playoff ended(Dan threw OB with the box, I just Roc'd up a safe) Always look forward to playing your courses. Hole #2, and #12 were very cool holes. Got another 6 on the 1,228 MONSTER. Stayed in bounds both rounds there 
Can't wait for Pontiac!!

Series Finale @ Streator is CALLED OFF/POSTPONED!!!
Half the course is underwater, and the pavilions are almost completely submerged.  Remember all our water is headed that way, so no chance of submerging.  Dana is working on a new date ASAP.
