looks good... whats like the student division? is that like rec?

[pat]

I have a college ID and I am a student of the Paul Kuffel School  of Disc Golf. Do I get to  play for $5?

[shawn]

Most of the students are rec players...  only a handful will play Pro, and they only have to pay the 5 bucks.  Most players will play up a division to play with better players... how often do you only have to pay 10 bucks to play in the pro division?  not many.

btw, Terry Miller has taken over the school of disc golf at the darkside.

I did that last year. I learned a few things from playing with Pro level players; most important lesson: Don't move up a divison until you're really ready to do so.  

Just Kidding...it was fun and like Shawn said, you're only paying $10 and the proceeds are going to help the UW Parkside Disc Golf Club grow.

Does your college ID say "student" or does it say "staff?"    

[pat]

My ID card doesn't say anything.
It could have student written on it if I can find a marker.  
O.k. I'll spend the extra $5. It was worth a try though.  

[Brian]

What if I teach high school kids and have a non dated college ID, just kidding.

Long Tees?  Short Tees?  Combo?  Beer?

Long Tees?  Short Tees?  Combo?  Beer?

Pros play long tee first round... shorts at night.
Ams short first round and second also..

First round will have some baskets in the longer positions and then moved back to more of the original settings the second round.  Each basket will be lite up so you will be able to see it from a distance.

I believe beer will be available as well as some hot food.  

[JOsh]

Have fun guys I had a blast last year!  I won't be able to make it up this year though.  Maybe Kyle can win it this time, it IS hishome course after all ;-)

Will glow sticks be available for the second round?  And if so, how much?

[shawn]

I think you get 2-3 with entry..  I got 250 sticks for the event and I believe that the event will fill up considering the low entry fee... so I doudt that there will be any extra.  But if you ask me I'm sure I can spare a few of my personal stash.

[mirth]

Shawn, if you need a few more I bought 50 that ended up not getting used for glow after the Widdershins...

[pat]

Will any females be playing this tournament? I hope to get my daughter to play.
She may if she knew there would be other women playing.  

[SERG]

I'm still trying to talk my girlfriend into playing. She's not sure if she if she wants to "freeze" while playing. She's bringing a friend who just started playing this past summer. She doesn't want to play, just walk. I told her I'd pay her $5 fee and have her throw to try and keep a little warmer.

NOTE: A women's divisison was not established. It is my understanding that women will play in the student division and only be charged the $5 entry fee. If she would like to play in another division, that is up to her.

Brian: has your girlfriend made up her mind yet?

[thread drift] There will be a lot of women playing the 2005 Illinois Open Series.  The Waterford women will be coming to every one, and they are bringing other girl friends besides.  We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread. [/thread drift]

[drdye]

Trisha and I are planning on playing

If there is enough women with there be a division made for them or just keep them with the students??
