Can I renew at Fairfield for 2006?  It is so much easier to renew in person with cash that I have not had an opportunity to grow fond of yet...

Yes, renewals can also be paid @ Fairfield.

I'm sure we'll be doing the PDGA thang again this year too, so people looking to renew their PDGA memberships while saving $5/person (if family) can do so through the club.

registration is from 8 to 9:30 both days, right?

[Bruce Brakel]

Yup.  That's what it says at brasscash.com.

[mirth]

Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow is the last day to preregister for IOS #7. The prereg pages will likely go offline tomorrow evening after 8PM.

Additionally, any mailed preregistrations sent to Brett that were not received by last Friday will not get to me in time for the tournament. You will have to pay your registration the day of, and we'll shred your check that was mailed.

Question that I hope someone can answer:

I know at a couple of the events this year Marshall Street had sent DVDs/towels as prizes. I was wondering if someone could let me know a contact name at Marshall Street to see if they could donate some items to a fund raiser tournament here at Parkside. You can PM/EMAIL or post here.

Thanks,
Sergio

Brett is the one who made that contact. He's at the USDGC so you might want to repost after the weekend if he doesn't see this post.

try this info.   marshall street

i'm pretty sure he just called the guy and asked.

[DougEDawg]

Weather looks good throughout the tournament weekend!

[Bruce Brakel]

I just came out here to post that.  Sunny, dry and cool.  Not bad at all for October.

[whofarted]

are there any plans for alternate holes either of the days?

[Bruce Brakel]

No alternate holes.  No additional holes.  No temporary baskets of any kind.

O.K. This may be a silly question, but what is Fairfield like? On the website, the open holes reminde me of Channahon, while the holes in the woods remind me of Mokena/ West Park. Am I kind of right, or am I totally wrong? What courses in the Joliet area can I practice at to better fit my mind for the tourmanent?

was the sunday fairfield course at last years IOS the same as the one will be this year?

That could be a fair comparison.

The plan is: We are going to have the in bounds landing areas on 12 and 18 larger than last year. The swamp on those holes will still be OB. The rope island hole on 5 will be much larger and rather than have a drop zone, you will take your next shot after going OB from where you were last in bounds. There will not be rope OB on hole 2.

The reality is: Bruce will be putting the rope out early Sunday morning. I'm sure volunteers that help him stake down the rope will be able to help define the OB lines.

Do you mean Saturday morning?  Or are the OB and Island Holes only for Adv/Pro?  Is the swamp going to be roped off, or is there a defined grass line now, like there was at Streamwood?  Could I possibly ask any more questions?

The question was asked about Sunday and the response only applied to Sunday.

All of the OB on the course will be defined by yellow rope. The only other OB would be to throw off the course (ie over the farmer's fence, onto Fairfield Road, in the parking lot, etc.).

yall need to quit asking about the yellow rope for sunday cuz i don't think ur really gonna know until that day.  it might be ridiculous or it might be fun, but either way we're just gonna have to try our best with whats there.
