Parkside Prairie Open

[D]

Nah you're set bro.

Just give them your number when you sign up, that package of stuff will arrive at a later date.  

[mirth]

No. They'll be able to look you up.

[Dan Michler]

i renewed late like that with the PDGA one year and i had your problem.  i think my number was in their list though when i got to the tourney, although i had no card.

Does anyone know if their have been alot of preregs for Saturday at Parkside?

[SERG]

There's 50 players signed up for Saturday. I'm not sure what divisions. If you follow one of the links in an earlier message you can see most of the pre-regs are in Advanced AM. The site hasn't been updated, though.

[D]

If there aren't any spots in Adv, I guess I'll shoot Open    

[shawn]

I might play open....Barry will be there, so the chance to play with him could be there..maybe...if i play well...or know the TD to hook a brother up and all.  


the site is not updated but I heard a few over 50 are signed up, should be perfect conditions for a tournament Saturday so it will fill to either 90 or 95 players with a ghost hole.

Keith Warren will be there too, that kid is really cool, good golfer too    

[DISCHURLER]

I was wondering if there was a cut off for the tournament at parkside?  I don't have a PDGA# so how much is gonna cost me?  I was also curious about how one might get to the park from the train in Great Lakes because I have no mode of transportation,  I would love to donate my money to the pro purse so if anybody could inlighten me on how I might get there that would be great..

                                                                             Thanks,
                                                                                        Disc-Hurler

Pro Open is $59 plus $5 non-PDGA member fee.
As for transportation, can't really help you...taxi?

BUMMER!

Stayed out late last night and was unable too wake up and play today, how did it go?

Hopefully I can make it out there tomorrow..

Anyone going up there passing through Libertyville? I am in desperate need of a ride, I'll cover gas!?!

Ladies & Gentlemen (and I use that term loosely)...

presenting yer 2004 Prairie Open Advanced Master Champion....

PAT WOOD!!!!
                 

...who shot a 54 from the longs, I believe, and a 47 from the shorts to win by 2 shots.  Congrats Pat, it's not too late for Pro Worlds  

I managed to recover from a mediocre 1st round to shoot the 2nd best round of the old farts in the 2nd (49), which was still one shot short of placing. (6 out of 10). I think Diron placed pretty high in Int, don't recall where Myk, Steve, Kyle, Adrian Jr. or Danny finished.

[D]

Ahhh good times.


That guy who shot -10 the first round really stunk it up the second round, I mean bigtime. I thought for sure I had caught him but guess I was still a stroke short..

Couldn't ask for a more perfect day for disc golf, with the exception of less mosquitos.


Shawn was dressed up all purdy    

[Dan Michler]

diron is a sandbagger.  i hope u didn't accept any prizes d-train    

[D]

Hahaha, hardly Dan.

I got my ass whopped by some newbie who shot a -10 the first round, and a -3 the second round with 2 bogeys and 3 deuces..  

Oh well, it's only am2  


I took all I could carry and took off... *toooot*    

[kyle]

I finished 10th. Huge improvement over last year, so despite some stupid shots, I have nothing to complain about

Steve had a spectacular 2nd round (-9 w/2 bogies) and tied for 3rd, then won a 3 hole playoff for the trophy.

I think Adrian won juniors.

[D]

I think Adrian won juniors.

Kyle, was that you in my group the first round?

Adrian and Danny dueked it out in jrs. but Adrian came out on top.

I was putting with them after the tourney and Adrian was knocking down some 40' like it was nothing. Hope he plays well at Worlds

[kyle]

No, I was on Rob's card (Parkside club Pres) with 2 other guys both named Matt. I think I was on the card one hole ahead of you second round.

[Myk]

I tied for 17th place, which was the last spot for cash.  Last year I just missed the cash by 2 or 3 spots, so I did better this year.  I could have done better if I wouldn't have been such a dork on the last 2 holes.  After the first round I was at -3 and in 11th place.  The second round I was -2 until the last two holes.  I shot 5's on both holes because I was flat out tired.  Funny thing is I played a round with Shawn, Jojo, Trisha, and Tall Paul afterwards for tags, and managed to salavge a -2, so I felt mildly redeemed.  Tags went all over the place, except Pat, who managed to hold on to #6.  Guess it's off to Madison if anyone wants that tag.

Steve had a spectacular 2nd round (-9 w/2 bogies) and tied for 3rd, then won a 3 hole playoff for the trophy.

One of my best rounds ever that day, and during a tournament no less.  Felt really good to get out and play well in that type of situation.  I think I shot 108 last year, and to be able to shoot 95 this year (with 4 bogies over-all, ugh) was a big improvement for me.  One stroke behind the leaders (stupid bogies) and a huge improvement over last year...that's even nicer than the plaque!  But the plaque is very cool!  
 
Really looking forward to the IL Open Series!

I got my ass whopped by some newbie who shot a -10 the first round, and a -3 the second round with 2 bogeys and 3 deuces.. 

His name was Chris Locke.  He's from the Appleton area and plays with some of the big guns from up there pretty often.  I was on his card that first round.  Considering he threw his putter on 15 out of 18 holes -- including over-throwing hole 8 with his aviar -- his -10 is a little more impressive.  Especially since he started playing last summer.    

He was pretty ticked off that he let the guys on his card get into his head on the second round, which is why he shot so poorly.  

He was really ticked when I sank a 35 foot deuce putt to beat him out of 3rd place.
