2005 ILLINOIS OPEN SERIES

[Bruce Brakel]

We'll do the same good player packs that we do at all our tournaments.  For your $10 B-tier player pack you get $15 brass cash and can get what you want from the merch table immediately, or save it until the end of the day when you might have more.  The brass cash is good all year, so if you want to save for a Skillshot or a Pro Sport, go for it.

i actually got approval from the CVB on thursday for some big-time sponsorship!  it took about six hours and three visits all together of sitting with them and stating my case but it got done and they are willing to throw down for the event!   but it cant stop, wont stop, on getting more sponsors for the event.  i got a team of people now helping to see through till the end - we wil be getting sponsors from community owned businesses for CTP's, pro purse funds, or whatever they can contribute.   everybody will go home with something...

another little something - tomarrow we have a meeting with the park district on getting concrete tee pads for the new course and to see what they need/ can give for the forest city frenzy.  other than paying an event fee and securing the park, my main focus will be those pads.  if we get the approval i will make it the clubs primary goal to finish that course by july.

Nice looking page, but is Masters and Advanced Masters not being offered?    

[CEValkyrie]

All prices are the same for each. Maybe you need to put men, women, & masters under that one mirth.

[SERG]

You might also want to include the dates. There are no dates other than the deadlines.

Looks like it's time to renew my PDGA membership. I'm glad you guys added UWP into the schedule this year. Now I can start my season with two tournaments at home.

I turned in a pile of vacation requests so I can help and participate in the IOS 2005 My ACM usually grants (or denies) them within a couple of weeks. Usually I get the days off I want but I sometimes have to work all my weekly hours around that  . I know I'm off for the first 2-I turned those in back in January    

[SERG]

I know you guys are discussing the Parkside event at this weeks meeting, but when you have an idea of where you want pin placements, let me know. I know the guys that have access to moving the baskets.

Sergio,
    I will e-mail you a list of basket placements that we'd like to use. I'm going to take a day off of work to go play the course and review my already set placments. If possible, it'd be nice to get those baskets in place by April 1st so players have a few weeks to practice.

The basket placements will be in the same place for both days both rounds. We are going to have the Lower day play some, not all, long tees the 2nd round. They will play the short tees the first round.

I also have to design the Pro final 4 safari. I have a pretty good idea of the first 3 holes and possibly the 4th.

Thanks

Guys, we need to go through Tamie & the UWP Intramural department vs going straight to the people with the keys. That is what *she* wants.

In mid March I'm going to arrange a meeting with her to walk the course and identify pin placements for the tournament. Anyone interested is welcome to come, however I think its good for us to decide what config we want before that meeting.

I will have that done next Friday.

[airspuds]

oh come on move the pins during the break
like they do in eau claire

challenge the players  

u could change the pins after round 1 on sat
then change them back after round 2 on sun

thus both groups playing the same course

[SERG]

I'm on the same committee as Tamie, as is Shawn and Paul. I will let her know that I'll (we'll) be moving the baskets. Trust me, we'll be fine with moving them.

Brett: I've always thought of Safari holes on the course. I'm sure Shawn could even give you a few good ideas. Hopefully the prairie isn't too grown by then so they won't be any problems looking for discs (if your safari hole takes you across it)

[mirth]

Alright, as long as Tamie's fine with it.... I'll still set up the meeting in March just so she's on the same page

[Bruce Brakel]

There will be no serious prairie growth by mid to late April.  It will be like a winter tournament except a little warmer and quite a bit soggier.  It will be in the upper 30's at morning tee off and warm up into the low 60's by mid-afternoon.  There will be a shower on Sunday morning.  

Bruce sees all and knows all.  Bruce has spoken.

No seriously, we go to an all-day outdoor non-disc golf event every year on that weekend so I know what to expect from the weather man.
