2005 ILLINOIS OPEN SERIES

[CEValkyrie]

Thanks Brett.  Could you also let us know which long baskets the ams will play on Sunday?

Yes, I will be posting where the baskets will be placed. This will be subject to change up until probably April 1st. If possible i'd like to get the course in tournament configuration by then. The baskets will not be moved Saturday or Sunday.

As long as it is not too muddy the baskets can be moved to where you want them by the 1rst of April.  If it is muddy I will not move them till the weekend before your event..  most of the holes are in locations right now that can take the abuse.  #8 may be under construction during this time.... we will know more after are meeting tomorrow if it is a go.  We might wait till after this event..   Also #6 and 7 are going to be moved to have a better flow.  The distances will not change as Parkside has a ton of scorecards made and they don't want to have to reprint them.  We may add a few more pin locations for these holes as well.

This is one of my concerns. Last April we didn't have hardly any rain for the entire month. That's not likely to happen again this year.

If we place the baskets into their tournament positions April 1st, won't it be likely that we will have a normal April (lots of rain) and by the time the tournament comes those locations will be a bit worn and muddy?

looks nice, i'll put a couple up in rockford and neighboring courses.  only complaint is that it doesnt tell what tier each individual tourney is.  otherwise its good to go!

[Bruce Brakel]

That is probably o.k. without tiers.  It does indicate that all events are PDGA sanctioned.  People who care about tier know how to check with www.pdga.com.  

Also, players have an expectation that C-tiers will have crappy payouts whereas our C -tier will have better payouts because there is no player pack and we are sending less money to the PDGA at both ends of the process.

#8 may be under construction during this time.... we will know more after are meeting tomorrow if it is a go.  We might wait till after this event..   Also #6 and 7 are going to be moved to have a better flow.  The distances will not change as Parkside has a ton of scorecards made and they don't want to have to reprint them.  We may add a few more pin locations for these holes as well.

FYI

The boulder hole will be renovated the week after the IOS.  The praire burn may take place in fall...  I guess if you burn in spring it promotes grass's and if you burn in fall it promotes flowers...  Our plan was to move #6 and 7 after the burn, we may just have to mow the praire to move the fairways.

Did anything else get approved for change out at the Darkside?

[Bruce Brakel]

Thought I'd get in a quick trophy count update before the server goes down again:

75 Micro-basket mini trophies
14 Quarter toss basket trophies

We are somewhere between done and 20 short of done depending on how well attended the series is and what we do for overall trophies.

For overall trophies do we want quarter toss baskets or custom dyed discs?  Any preferences?  They cost about the same.

[mirth]

hey now, this new server's been rock steady since I set it up. the next time I forsee the site going down is in a week or so when I set up the new new server.

Do you have a pic of the quarter toss basket?

My initial response would be the baskets.

Brett, when do you think you'll put up the placements for the IOS #1? I know you emailed me the placements, but I thought we might be able to discuss some of the placements as a group...or is this not up for discussion? If need be, I could PM you my thoughts.

I'll work on a post in a few minutes. I forgot all about it. There are so many configurations that it would be impossible to decide by a group. I tried my best to keep a balanced as well as keeping the lower division players in mind as well. I'm always open to suggestions but don't take offense if i dont' use them.

Brett,

For the Am's does the first distance represent the first round tees and the second distance rep. the second round tees?  i. e. the first round we play on the first tee, the basket is in the A position at the am tee both times, but on the third tee we play basket B from the am tee for the first round and in the second round from the pro tee?  BTW, I thought that the difference on the third tee between the am and the pro tees was only 5 feet.  It looks like you got about 115 feet difference.  Where am I going wrong?  Is there another tee position that I'm missing that is on the other side of the woods?

Yes, The first round distance is on the left & the 2nd round is on the right. It didn't quite come out like I wanted.
