rockford's anna page park

[whofarted]

hello everybody!  looks like things are getting worked out for a tournament in rockford this summer.  hopefully this will be the start of many good tournaments to come at anna page.   i sincerely hope that all of you out there come and support both rockford and the illinois tour because i know that jon and others are working real hard to get this going.  and i think that its only the start, with everyone working together i think that an illinois tour could get players from all over the midwest because of its central location and the many great courses we have.  cant wait to see it all materialize....

I tell ya. You guys gotta quit it with that "long drive to rockford stuff"(just kiddin') No really, i drive about 175 miles round trip EVERY sunday to rockford 4 winter league. Many times leaving at 6:00 or 6:30 A.M. just to get there in time 4 skins! I live about 20 miles north of madison, WI. Why you ask? CRAZY i am? Perhaps. In all honesty, rockford probably has the most competitive winter league in our area. With people from as far away as sterling(65 miles) and wisconsin regularly attending. With an average of 10 guys at 8 A.M. for skins, and 20+ for doubles. So get a carpool goin', sing some happy songs, and you will be there B 4 you know it! Hope 2 see ya.

I'd love to come more often but we have our club winter leagues every Sunday at 10:00AM.

We say long drive becasue in the warmer months we can play leagues almost every night of the week. All less than a 45 minuted drive.
Monday- Crystal Lake
Tuesday-Libertyville/Streamwood
WednesdayLombard
Thursday- Round Lake
Friday- Kenosha (Glow)
Saturday- Round Lake
Sunday- Waukegan

I'm not sure what night Palatine has started running leagues. Did I miss any?

Wow, sounds like you got a lot going on league wise! That's really cool. We only have 1 league a week in madison in the winter(saturday@ 11:00 A.M.) Which is a motivator to travel on sundays. I hope to see everyone who reads this(pass the word) at the arctic blast in Feb.    P.S. The tourney should feature one round on each course(as long as the ground stays frozen, which shouldn't be an issue)

todd- funny how the guy in first says its the most competitive league around.  just busting balls, good shooting so far this winter.  rod was talking about abondoning it for a couple weeks because he hasn't shot well so you may find yourself in sole posession of the top spot this week.  good luck...

when does the kenosha glow league start?  is it well attended?

[mirth]

kenosha glow runs year round.

[whofarted]

mirth, you ever head up there?  what time does it start?

[Brian]

The Kenosha glow starts at 7:30 p.m. on Friday night.

come warmer weather i might have to hit that up...

[whofarted]

thought i'd check in... the gears are in motion for a stellar event in rockford.  im working closely with convention and visitors buero and it sounds like they will be helping out alot.   i really look forward to seeing everybody on the IOS tour....

well things are looking good for the Forest City Frenzy.  I think I'll have a design by the end of the week and flyers made shortly thereafter.  its looking to be a day full of freebies - if all goes the way it should we'll have two primo baskets for raffle or big toss, a hundred specialty stamped discs as well as 15 in brass cash for the ams included in their players package.   the course should be lovely too, im working with the park district right now to allow them to let all of us use some of the land by the creek for one of the sets of alternates.  if they allow it those should be some phatty holes.  weather - i predict a cool 84 degrees with a tail wind at every hole...

...i cut and pasted CEValk's IOS 2005 page and sent it up to Milwaukee with some friends that are playing today, so hopefully all the events are getting some good press right now.  if you know anybody that is playing tomarrow you should give them a couple copies to take with and give them to discberry.   adios hombres!
